2	Ask Feminism on reddit pinned a series of links for men - what are your thoughts? Has anyone gone through the list...I thought many of the initiatives were valid I don't think that the problem is "should", I think that the problem is that it's implied that these "must" be correlated where men are concerned. I'm not convinced, as a man, that there's anything inherently "masculine" about being emotionally repressed.	/r/MensRights	20/11/15 04:02 AM
2	Ask Feminism on reddit pinned a series of links for men - what are your thoughts? Has anyone gone through the list...I thought many of the initiatives were valid I probably don't understand what you mean by "masculinity" in such an absolute sense, then. Can't I take drinking beer and watching sports but leave the aversion to talking about emotions?	/r/MensRights	20/11/15 01:08 AM
1	Ask Feminism on reddit pinned a series of links for men - what are your thoughts? Has anyone gone through the list...I thought many of the initiatives were valid Toxic masculinity (which is what feminists tend to address) hurts men, by definition. You can argue about whether or not toxic masculinity is a real phenomenon, but by definition it's harmful.	/r/MensRights	19/11/15 05:29 PM
2	No means no, Feminists. Women are men's complimentary sex. What does this mean?	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 08:55 AM
2	Time magazine's editorial includes a nasty quote from an MRA. One problem: it's not real. Of course. No special exceptions!	/r/MensRights	30/05/14 06:55 PM
0	Time magazine's editorial includes a nasty quote from an MRA. One problem: it's not real. So because an derogatory adjective can only be used in a subset of genders, It is derogatory for those genders. Therefore asshole that can be used by all genders it is derogatory to all genders. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. If you don't see the difference between "applicable to one group" and "applicable to everyone" then I don't think you understand the conversation here. Maybe you can clarify your argument for me. You're going to have to rephrase the rest of your post as well…	/r/MensRights	30/05/14 12:15 PM
1	Time magazine's editorial includes a nasty quote from an MRA. One problem: it's not real. How? You specifically said that you think the word "bitch" is appropriate because the person you're using it for happens to be a woman. This is how. Skin colour is a trait. A female dog is not. This, and your previous paragraph, strongly suggest you're not being honest. If you understand that the word "bitch", used as an insult, is predominantly used against women, then your "female dog" nonsense is just sticking your fingers in your ears. Additionally, even if you do call female dogs "bitches",…	/r/MensRights	30/05/14 12:04 PM
2	Time magazine's editorial includes a nasty quote from an MRA. One problem: it's not real. How? I presume you understand that "bitch" is gendered and "asshole" is not gendered. When you use a gendered term as an insult or in a derogatory way, you're normalising marginalisation of the gender via the term used. You specifically said it was appropriate to use the word "bitch" because the person you're insulting was a woman - what happens when you use it to insult a man? No, that's different, because "nigger" (and you can actually write the word, when you aren't calling a black person it.…	/r/MensRights	30/05/14 10:55 AM
11	Time magazine's editorial includes a nasty quote from an MRA. One problem: it's not real. No one would think calling one guy a dick means you hate all men. I'm not sure anyone thinks the opposite is true, either. You've set up a bit of a straw man. I had some trouble coming to grips with the problem with using gendered insults like "cunt" or "bitch", but ultimately it's just dishonest to argue that words like these don't have ties specifically to gender. Using the word "bitch" to insult someone doesn't necessarily mean you've insulted everyone who falls under the normative umbrella, …	/r/MensRights	30/05/14 10:23 AM
6	Time magazine's editorial includes a nasty quote from an MRA. One problem: it's not real. stereotypes exist because there is usually a bit of truth to them. That is a potentially very harmful way to look at stereotypes. Saying something like this enables sexism/racism far more readily than it facilitates conversation.	/r/MensRights	30/05/14 10:10 AM
12	"Failure of Feminism." The Amazing Atheist takes feminism out to the woodshed. At least you admit it's not your cup of tea, but you know as well as I do that his method of presentation, or the topics he chooses, won't be of interest to everyone. We can agree that it's a matter of personal preference, and leave that concern unhappily settled. I resent the accusation that I was using "emotional" in the perjorative sense, as I feel the statement was a reasonable one, but I'm going to apologise anyway, as the context of our conversation may have made it out to look like that. …	/r/MensRights	28/12/11 02:36 AM
19	"Failure of Feminism." The Amazing Atheist takes feminism out to the woodshed. You picture all men's rights activists as sexually confused racists, because Encyclopedia Dramatica has provided you with dubious quotations? You're convicting TAA of thoughtcrime because you don't want to empathise? You disagree with him on emotional principle - characterising his guess at the effects of "ass-grabbing" as somehow not condemning molestation. You can't get your head around individual sexual preference, so you're going to mock this guy because he's known to have done something you…	/r/MensRights	28/12/11 01:53 AM
