-4	India makes it easier to convict men of rape: testimony of accusers will not be tested like other evidence is if found "reliable" It's not "two wrongs make a right," it's "the lesser of two evils."	/r/MensRights	10/11/13 09:07 PM
-6	India makes it easier to convict men of rape: testimony of accusers will not be tested like other evidence is if found "reliable" India has a very serious rape problem right now, exacerbated by the fact that women victims don't come forward and accuse their rapists for fear of social reprisal. While I feel that these kind of laws are really terrible in the long run; India has aspects to its culture which are very misogynistic and need to be urgently dealt with.	/r/MensRights	10/11/13 08:08 PM
1	Gender is a social construct? David Reimer was raised as a girl after a failed circumcision. He killed himself in 2004 after a 40 year experiment in gender fluidity. I'm confused. I don't think we disagree. To me, a way to compete is a "specific cultural behavior."	/r/MensRights	01/11/13 04:54 PM
1	Gender is a social construct? David Reimer was raised as a girl after a failed circumcision. He killed himself in 2004 after a 40 year experiment in gender fluidity. Eh, I think instinct is distinct from cultural behaviors like racecar driving et c. The drive to compete is instinctual. Whether it expresses itself in sports, science... Whatever, that's specific cultural behavior.	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 05:39 PM
1	Gender is a social construct? David Reimer was raised as a girl after a failed circumcision. He killed himself in 2004 after a 40 year experiment in gender fluidity. Cool dude. Glad you knowingly decided to continue the horrible reputation that MRAs have simply because you don't care. Makes it easier to completely dismiss you as a troll.	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 05:27 PM
1	Gender is a social construct? David Reimer was raised as a girl after a failed circumcision. He killed himself in 2004 after a 40 year experiment in gender fluidity. Thanks, I appreciate it.	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 06:25 AM
1	Gender is a social construct? David Reimer was raised as a girl after a failed circumcision. He killed himself in 2004 after a 40 year experiment in gender fluidity. The difference between the n-word, "faggot" and "tranny" is that more people recognize that the n-word is offensive, therefore one can't say it in polite conversation.	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 06:21 AM
2	Gender is a social construct? David Reimer was raised as a girl after a failed circumcision. He killed himself in 2004 after a 40 year experiment in gender fluidity. So your argument is that there are certain "male" traits that male genders across all cultures share? I'd buy that - but would argue that a lot of that comes from the psychological effects of testosterone and other sex-specific hormones. Regardless, I think this article is being spun as saying that there is some essential link between biology and specific cultural behaviors. Which is kind of ridiculous.	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 02:00 AM
8	Gender is a social construct? David Reimer was raised as a girl after a failed circumcision. He killed himself in 2004 after a 40 year experiment in gender fluidity. I'm pretty sure transsexual people consider "Tranny" to be as offensive as the n-word or "faggot"	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 01:34 AM
0	Gender is a social construct? David Reimer was raised as a girl after a failed circumcision. He killed himself in 2004 after a 40 year experiment in gender fluidity. This headline and the interpretation of this article here are really an issue. The problem here isn't people saying gender is a construct, but rather refusing to follow through on all of the implications of that. Forcing David / Brenda / Bruce to play with dolls et c. is an attempt to reinforce a link between sex attributes and gender rather than allowing the child to choose what he wanted. Also, claiming that gender is a construct shouldn't be a value judgement - it's just a simple statement of…	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 01:29 AM
4	Popularity Of Circumcision Falls In U.S., Especially Out West While these are all legitimate, many of the childhood risks can be prevented with proper hygiene. I certainly never had a UTI or other issue as a child - because my parents (mostly my dad) encouraged and taught me proper hygiene. Regardless, I don't see this as much a public health issue with ethical implications as an ethical issue with public health implications. Certainly if a child has phimosis and other health issues which need to be resolved then circumcision may be needed. But for the vas…	/r/MensRights	22/08/13 08:15 PM
-1	Radio host asks Prime Minister Julia Gillard about dumb internet rumors that her husband is gay. Host is fired, the PM and Aus Sex Discrimination Commissioner declare questions were "sexist" and demeaning, and that young girls and women politicians should be protected from such questioning. I don't know, it's certainly rude and a shitty thing to say but I don't think we should be firing people for being rude. We ought to have a bit more respect for a head of government, though.	/r/MensRights	15/06/13 07:10 PM
2	Radio host asks Prime Minister Julia Gillard about dumb internet rumors that her husband is gay. Host is fired, the PM and Aus Sex Discrimination Commissioner declare questions were "sexist" and demeaning, and that young girls and women politicians should be protected from such questioning. If you listen to the initial interview, she does get a bit indignant that one could extrapolate the sexuality of an entire profession just because it's traditionally female. I haven't really been following since, but it's worth mentioning even if the dialogue regarding the incident has become spun unto oblivion at this point. My understanding is that the radio host was fired because it was a bad question to ask a PM, not just a female PM. You'd probably get in shit for asking if a male PMs girlf…	/r/MensRights	15/06/13 04:51 PM
-1	Octavia Sheepshanks: Man-Hating Feminism More Than Just A Myth Well, first of all, "Patriarchy Theory" is a term I've never even heard before today. Most of my studies (ie 2 classes) were in critical gender theory. Patriarchy was mentioned in these classes, but only as a structure which "inscribed itself into the bodies of men and women who are forced to live under its oppressive rule" (or something similar to that). Given that it was critical gender theory, it focused mostly on the encumbrances forced upon men and women who had to live within the system. R…	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 01:56 AM
0	Octavia Sheepshanks: Man-Hating Feminism More Than Just A Myth This. "Patriarchy," at least as I was taught it in college, just refers to the system of gender roles and obligations that society buys into. Despite the inflammatory name, many critical gender theorists use it as a neutral term. Patriarchy oppresses / grants privilege to men just as it oppresses / grants privilege to women. So subscribing to "Patriarchy Theory" doesn't necessarily mean that one hates either gender. I have to say, there are a lot of angry, close-minded people on this sub who are…	/r/MensRights	21/05/13 11:19 PM
7	The World is Focusing on Women's Issues While Happily Ignoring Men's I'm sorry but beyond even this debate I'm soon completing my degree in media criticism from a university with one of the top media studies programs. I have read my shit. I suggest you do the same. Is possibly the most ridiculous / sophomoric / blatant appeal to authority I've ever seen. I'm still laughing at how hilarious this sentence is. If you really are getting such a good education on the subject, please, enlighten us as to what specifically you've learned that applies in this context. Othe…	/r/MensRights	09/05/13 06:29 AM
26	Peacocking: am I doin' it right? Personally, I find a cigar tacky as all hell, and pretty gross smelling too.	/r/seduction	29/04/12 10:44 PM
14	Fathers matter infographic (xpost from r/parenting) I would like to see the studies that they drew the statistics from; they might answer your question. It's always been my understanding that two involved, loving parents decrease the likelihood of negative outcomes for the children, regardless of the gender of the participants.	/r/MensRights	08/03/12 04:08 PM
1	Girls become Women when... Most women in my age group I've met would never behave like this and likely think it's bullshit. Admittedly, I've mostly met women at college, which is a skewed sample of American women.	/r/MensRights	02/02/12 07:13 AM
7	Girls become Women when... I don't know what I expected, based on your username, but now I understand why snark is so annoying. Rachiedoubt is a woman who cares about our cause, presumably, and should be treated nicely for that, so that other women can come to understand why we're not insane.	/r/MensRights	01/02/12 11:55 PM
4	Girls become Women when... By 13 year-olds. If someone you know expects this level of treatment then you should get the fuck away. Also, society's views and culture are often determined top-down; that is, the leadership, laws, and power structures of a society are more effective at determining cultural norms than the way individual people talk about and articulate issues. That's just a consequence of the larger audience and privileged position they hold in society. So we should be unconcerned with shit like this except fo…	/r/MensRights	01/02/12 11:52 PM
2	Girls become Women when... Well, yeah. Saying "I'm Sorry!" as a debating tactic is bullshit, but most things people say in heated fights is angry bullshit anyway. But sometimes you have to take the face loss and apologize even when you don't mean it just so you don't end up in a critical spiral of angry fighting.	/r/MensRights	01/02/12 11:34 PM
20	Girls become Women when... Disagree on #8. Both people in the relationship should be there for each other when the other needs them. 9 is stupid. Sometimes unwarranted help is useful. 10. Apologizing is always a good thing to do, as it's a symbol that you're done arguing and actually ready to start discussing things rationally. And PLEASE stop talking about this. There are MUCH MORE IMPORTANT issues to be talking about than this idiotic image that 13-year-olds repost on Facebook.	/r/MensRights	01/02/12 10:38 PM
