| 2 | My sister said it's impossible to be sexist to men, whoopeeeeeSadly, this is a very common double standard. And it's frustrating too because, if you're petty enough, you can call any group oppressed, spoiled, etc. Yes, women did suffer gross injustices in the past. Men did, as well. Both still suffer today. Men can still be drafted. I still remember how I had to sign up for the Selective Service in order to get my driver's license. If I didn't, I would've been committing a crime. I have multiple sisters. They didn't have to sign up. Like any politically ch… | /r/MensRights | 08/09/20 12:18 PM |

| 5 | Psychology Today: He Doesn't Orgasm? There Are Lots of Possible ReasonsThere are still plenty of taboos about sex, but those surrounding women are getting a lot more scrutiny these days. Let's not forget that there are also some lingering taboos about male sexuality as well. And they're worth discussing. This is just one of them and I think this article did a fair job of that. | /r/MensRights | 18/06/20 10:25 AM |

| 4 | Psychology Today: The Link Between Attitudes to Sex Work and Gender EqualityInteresting findings with some interesting insights into how radical feminists align themselves with extreme reactionaries. Based on what I've seen in other subs, sex work one of those strange issues that seems to divide every group. There are feminists who oppose and support it. There are men's rights activists who oppose and support it. There are secular people who oppose and support it. It's a complicated issue that seems to complicate any discussion of related social issues, including gender… | /r/MensRights | 10/06/20 10:29 AM |

| 3 | Amber Heard Faces Prison If Found Guilty Of Falsifying Evidence Against DeppConsidering the evidence that has come out in recent years, I think any competent court of law would rule that Amber Heard is an abuser. She did indeed abuse her husband. The audio recordings alone prove that. That same court of law would find her guilty of making a false accusation. However, I sincerely doubt she will ever get any jail time, even if she's found guilty and loses an appeal. Between her wealth and the fact that she's not on the level of Cosby or Weinstein, she'll get probation, if… | /r/MensRights | 08/04/20 01:06 PM |

| 10 | I pissed on John Harvey Kellogg's grave. Fuck Circumcision.It's both remarkable and tragic that this one man is the reason circumcision is seen as "normal" in the United States when, in the context of the rest of the world, it's downright barbaric. The man was extremely repressed and had many issues, much of which led to the suffering and repression of others. Pissing on his grave won't undo that harm, but it's a start. | /r/MensRights | 09/01/20 02:38 PM |
| 3 | Watch Marriage Story on netflix, it is terrifying on its portrayal of divorce and the courts.It's a great movie. It's sad and heart-wrenching at times, but it's a solid portrayal of something real people experience in the real world. It's not flashy or whimsical, but that's part of the appeal.

| 2 | How (And Why) Boredom Undermines Gender EqualityWhat I was trying to get across is that the idealism that many feminists and egalitarians promote has some understated flaws. I highlighted this story about a woman being frustrated with her seemingly ideal marriage because it highlights one of those flaws, namely how it can become predictable and boring. There's all sorts of rhetoric in discussions about gender politics on how true equality is the goal, but I doubt anyone considers the implications. Perfect equality, as highlighted by the woman… | /r/MensRights | 19/12/19 02:52 PM |
| 5 | How (And Why) Boredom Undermines Gender EqualityGood point. And I think that effects our relationships, personal and professional. I also think it effects how men and women relate to one another. I believe that if we were in a more survivalist setting, the idea of "gender equality" would be very different. | /r/MensRights | 19/12/19 01:32 PM |
| 5 | How (And Why) Boredom Undermines Gender EqualityI wrote this after finding an article on this sub about a woman who talks about how frustrating it is to have a "perfect" feminist husband. Everything is equal in their relationship. By all accounts, it checks every box that someone who favors gender equality could think of. And yet, it's not enough for her. While a lot of people criticized this woman, I tried to be more understanding. I think her sentiments highlight an underrated flaw in many arguments that I've heard feminists and egalitarian… | /r/MensRights | 19/12/19 11:15 AM |

| 1 | I'm Pro Choice but...I don't think so. That post was essentially saying "When I consent to ride in a car, I don't consent to it crashing into a tree." And I think that logic is sound. Sex is not just for procreation. That's a fact of nature, especially among primates and other social species, which humans are. When it comes to matters of choice, intent matters. That's just my thoughts. I expect plenty to disagree with it. | /r/MensRights | 13/12/19 07:29 PM |

| 1 | Answering (And Understanding) Where The “Good” Men Have GoneThank you for the comment and insights. I think you make some good points. The study showed that, while women's overall independence and incomes have changed, certain aspects of their standards have not. I don't think it's entirely out of selfishness, though. I think some of it has more to do with social taboos and assumptions. There's just this prevailing idea that a woman's ideal spouse makes more money than them and if they don't, then something's wrong with that. I think that's flawed, espec… | /r/MensRights | 19/11/19 11:36 AM |
| 8 | Answering (And Understanding) Where The “Good” Men Have GoneA while back, there was a study by the Journal of Marriage and Family that showed how the standards for "good men," as determined by select groups of women, have essentially eliminated most of the male population from the marriage pool. It has created this sentiment that there aren't a lot of "good men" out there, which I found both troubling and absurd. So I decided to write this piece and hopefully start a larger discussion because I think it is relevant. In looking into it, I found that the w… | /r/MensRights | 18/11/19 03:21 PM |

| 5 | "We tell men to open up more. But are we ready to listen?"This is a real issue. There's still a significant taboo about men sharing their feelings and opening up about them. I felt it last year when my grandmother passed away. I wanted to open up about it, but I didn't feel like anyone took my feelings seriously, outside my immediate family. The assumption is that men will grit their teeth and get over it, even when they really do need to open up. In my experience, some people are willing to listen and many of those people are women. But the taboo is s… | /r/MensRights | 18/10/19 05:29 PM |

Trust men to make their own decisions about their sex lives..This is going to be an increasingly hot-button issue, especially as the price comes down for sex robots.

| 2 | Purpose, Value, And The Suicide Gender GapI decided to write this after reading a few posts and finding a few links on subs like this one about the sizable gender gap when it comes to suicide. It's a gender gap that doesn't seem to come up much when discussing gender politics. That doesn't make it any less tragic. I attempted to put this tragic phenomenon into perspective. Having had friends who have dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts, I had some personal experience. But if anyone else has experiences they care to share, I welc… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/19 09:59 AM |
| 3 | Instead of saying "believe women" we should say "take women seriously".I could get behind this message. I think it's fair in that it encourages inquiry rather than blind assumptions. Just as there are certain situations when men aren't taken seriously (like being abused by women or falsely accused of sexual assault), there are situations where women aren't taken seriously. Both are problems. Both warrant scrutiny. And taking them seriously is the first step towards addressing them fairly. | /r/MensRights | 16/10/19 01:40 PM |

I'm not sure I was able to cover everything in this article, but I did the best I could. The more I looked into it, the more I noticed how vague and obscure the idea is. And whenever someone claims a woman "owns her sexuality," it means almost nothing of substance. But if anyone has another perspective, I'd love to hear it.

| 1 | Just saw this on a feminist blogIn my experience, this is a sentiment shared by the less radical, egalitarian, sex positive branch of feminism. These aren't the kinds of feminists who yell at protests or post angry rants on Twitter, but they do generally outnumber the more vocal minority. And make no mistake, that minority is EXTREMELY vocal. When I was in college, I knew more than a few. But most of the women who said they were feminists just saw it as equality for the sexes.

It also happened to be nearly 100 degrees out and any man who has worn a suit knows it's not the most comfortable thing to wear in the heat. And yet, this was pretty much their only fashion choice. It was NOT a pleasant experience, to say the least. It got me thinking about other expectations of men that I wish I could change. I came up with quite a few.

| 4 | Business dress code is sexistI wouldn't go so far as to call it sexist, but it's definitely one of those unspoken issues that uniquely affects men. I like how I look in a suit and I regularly wear one, but it is NOT comfortable attire during a blazing heat wave. Yet having to wear one in an office environment is seen as a given. In contrast, women get to wear dresses that are more comfortable and varied in the heat. There's only so much you can do with a suit and I don't care how good it looks.

| 3 | Feminism, Men’s Issues, And How Legalizing Prostitution Could Affect BothI decided to write this after hearing a few democratic presidential candidates bring up decriminalizing prostitution. For the first time in my memory, it has become political issue among serious mainstream candidates. And given its ties to feminism and gender politics, it's bound to affect men's issues as well. And I think that's worth talking about because whenever the legality of prostitution comes up, it's usually focused on how it impacts women.

| 3 | Barely Half of U.S. Adults Are Married – A Record LowI don't think that's too surprising. The incentives for marriage these days are terrible, especially for men. You're essentially signing a contract that entitles another party to part with half your assets whenever they feel like it and you're trusting them NOT to do that. Whatever your gender, people respond to incentives and there just aren't enough for marriage these days. | /r/MensRights | 23/07/19 06:04 PM |
| 1 | Oh so now even AC is sexistI can personally attest to how uncomfortable it can get wearing suits in the middle of summer.

Smiling was one of them. Then, gender politics found a way to do it and it's only making things worse. If you were to do a search on what a feminist looks like these days, chances are they're not smiling. In fact, anger and outrage seem to be the default for any debate involving gender politics.

Most of them are unattainable, but when even part of it comes true, they often find out the hard way that boredom can set in. And make no mistake. Boredom is a powerful force.

Thought it was interesting coming from a class room of kids.I think the next generation, whatever you want to call them, will be a lot more sensitive to male victimization compared to their older counterparts. They've seen the double standards. They've watched as serious accusations end up being false. They've seen the hypocrisy of gender politics play out. As a result, I think they'll be more inclined to favor actual equality in gender issues. Sexual abuse is one that shouldn't be so political. It happens to men and women.

And she didn't believe the DNA tests.Some parts of this story are funny, but this issue is no laughing matter. This woman, who I doubt is of sound mind, made a serious accusation of a man and demanded a sizable chunk of his assets. Thankfully, the court didn't buy it and Keanu's reputation is untarnished.

| 2 | How are men supposed to date women when feminism has dented so much hatred against men in them? This is why MGTOW makes sense.I think it's more accurate to say that most aren't the radical, man-hating feminists that make the most noise and say the most outrageous things. I know women who identify as feminists, but only to the extent that they're for equality. That's it. That's the extent of their feminism. To lump them into the same categories as the women who rage endlessly about the patriarchy is an unfair comparison. | /r/MensRights | 24/05/19 12:18 PM |

I believe that peoples' capacity to love is stronger than ideology, be it feminism, religious dogma, liberalism, or what have you. No amount of political controversy will keep people from seeking love and wanting to be love. Granted, it complicates things. But I don't think it's impossible. Yes, there are people out there who are so full of hate and outrage that dating them is impossible. But I would argue that those people are the minority.

Those laws came after Roe and if it got overturned, then there would be a lot more men on the hook for child support. Those laws are already used and misused with the current system.

It tries to be fair and keeps things in context. This video nicely exposes how most notions of privileged are entirely arbitrary and dependent on people not understanding how averages work.

| 2 | How the War on Sex work unfairly demonizes men and victimizes womenGood video. It makes a lot of important points. As someone who deals with a lot of lawyers, I find out absurd that sex work is illegal. But a big reason for its illegal status and all its taboos are due to unfair gender attitudes. It frames men as abusers and women as victims in EVERY instance. There's no room for nuance. It's akin to banning all cars because a few people crash them. It's absurd, but I don't see it changing anytime soon. | /r/MensRights | 16/05/19 10:15 AM |
| 2 | The (Surprising) Sources And Implications Of Slut ShamingSlut shaming is a hot topic within many feminist and liberal subs. It has come up in subs like this one before, but only to a point and there are reasons for that. But I feel it's worth discussing, especially in wake of recent studies that disrupt the current narrative.

However, recent research has shown that both men and women … | /r/MensRights | 16/05/19 10:11 AM |

This is one of those rare issues where even the most radical feminist can't deny the inequality here. Men are required by law to sign up for the draft. Women are not.

| 1 | Scientists conducting the world’s largest study of sex differences in the brain have found that men and women think differently. Men and women are different. They have different skills. They are biologically attracted to different jobs. Deal with it.Studying brains is tricky. Brains, by their own function, are complex and varied. The notion that any ideology attempts to generalize or shape how our collective brains function is laughable. But what worries me is that there will be ideologues who see this study, refuse to accept it, and try even harder to force it. It's akin to those who refuse to believe homosexuality is natural and keep trying to force it away. It only does more damage and hurts more people in the process. | /r/MensRights | 14/11/18 02:16 PM |

He's paying her $115K a month despite her having a kid with her new boyfriend and refusing to work again even though she got a master’s degree in psychology.The more stories like this that come out, the more likely it is that alimony will become a more relevant issue.

| 3 | Profiles In Noble Masculinity: RobocopThis is the third entry in my ongoing series to highlight characters who embody some of the best traits in masculinity. So far, I've been pleasantly surprised by how well these pieces have been received. I've even gotten some great suggestions and insights, especially from this sub. For that, I thank you. I really believe that it's important to highlight male characters who embody the best of masculine traits. There are too many headlines these days that highlight men at their worst.

| 5 | Terry Crews's The Expendables costars not standing with him and not boycotting the film is straight-up dirty and akin to turning an eye.This is very sad because this goes beyond a gender-driven agenda. This is an injustice that Mr. Crews endured and struggled to deal with. If he were a woman, I don't doubt for a second that he would've been surrounded with support and admiration. Instead, he's either ignored or a punchline. Pain is pain, regardless of gender. Terry Crews suffered an injustice and he deserves the same support that we give women who have endured a similar injustice. I think he's a lonely voice right now for men wh… | /r/MensRights | 05/07/18 02:44 PM |
| 4 | The original powerpuff girls has some interesting commentary on feminism.I love this episode. It has a good, balanced message that I hope resonates. In my experience, young kids are a lot less prone to certain agendas. They don't have the same filters as adults. If they see something that's blatantly unfair or bias, they'll point it out. That gives me genuine hope for future generations. | /r/MensRights | 03/07/18 01:16 PM |
| 4 | What It Means To “Man Up” And Why It’s Changing (For The Worse)A while back I asked this sub and others what they thought it meant to "man up" in current year. To all those who responded, I thank you. It was very informative, although it did reveal just how much the connotations of that phrase had changed and not for the better. I took much of that insight and tried to incorporate it into this article. I also tried to convey a sense of hope that the idea of "manning up" would one day take on a more positive meaning. I'm afraid that may take a while, though. | /r/MensRights | 02/07/18 09:42 AM |
| 3 | Masculinity, Mourning, And My Recent LossI wrote this shortly after I got some very sad news about my grandmother, who passed away recently. I was very close to her and that loss helped me realize how little experience I have with mourning. It also made me feel as though being a man made the process of mourning inherently more difficult. Maybe that's just me being melodramatic, but I sincerely felt as though there were feelings I had that I just never learned to deal with, as a man. I've hope to start a larger discussion here and in ot… | /r/MensRights | 21/06/18 09:05 PM |
| 1 | So don't get me wrong, is not the biggest aexual discrimination issue.... But in this heat, having to wear a suit is absolutely ridiculous!I'm glad you brought this up because one of my sisters' weddings was outdoors at a winery. Luckily, it was spring and it wasn't that hot. But if they had decided on a summer wedding, I don't know how any man could've withstood the heat. Now, I love men's fashion as much as the next guy, but that stuff gets way too hot and the materials don't always feel good on bare skin. I know fashion goes through trends and shifts, but polyester suits in the middle summer are just impractical. | /r/MensRights | 20/06/18 04:05 PM |

| 3 | The WRONG Way To Deal With The Incel Phenomenon (And Ideas For A Better Way)Thanks! I know this is a touchy subject. Honestly, I wasn't sure whether I should post this here, but I think Incels are an issue that will affect men's rights issues one way or another. That's why it's so important to both confront it and establish that the two are distinct. Incels are an extreme manifestation of a movement independent of men's rights. It has already proven to be pretty extreme for a number of people and I think stories about it are going to increase due to the media's love of … | /r/MensRights | 11/06/18 07:28 PM |
| 2 | The WRONG Way To Deal With The Incel Phenomenon (And Ideas For A Better Way)I'm sorry you didn't care for it. I'll try to do better with future articles. Thanks for your feedback, though. I'll try to improve as I continue to explore this and other topics. | /r/MensRights | 11/06/18 01:34 PM |

| 1 | The WRONG Way To Deal With The Incel Phenomenon (And Ideas For A Better Way)I agree. That's why I don't think the legality of prostitution has much impact on incels. They seem to want more than just a sexual release. They want the kind of intimacy and love that they see others enjoy. Not being able to get it, for whatever reasons, leaves them feeling isolated, alone, and angry. That's why I emphasized improving social skills and treating those with mental health issues. I do believe that a portion of those who identify as incels may have some issues beyond poor social s… | /r/MensRights | 11/06/18 01:32 PM |
| 4 | The WRONG Way To Deal With The Incel Phenomenon (And Ideas For A Better Way)Well said. I think better social skills and less isolation will go a long way towards helping people find love and intimacy. | /r/MensRights | 11/06/18 10:25 AM |
| 1 | The WRONG Way To Deal With The Incel Phenomenon (And Ideas For A Better Way)Yeah, that was an important distinction to make because I think incels are wrongly becoming associated with men's rights advocacy. This phenomenon is form of extremism, plain and simple. It's right up there with radical feminism, which has advocated some pretty draconian policies on gender. I think if men's rights is to evolve and be part of the conversation regarding gender, it has to set itself apart from the extremes of the incel movement. | /r/MensRights | 11/06/18 10:02 AM |
| 3 | Conversion Therapy Isn’t the Cure for ‘Toxic Masculinity’I've written articles and done research on "conversion therapy." I can say with a fair amount of certainty that there is no therapy involved. It's mental torture of the worst kind. The scars it leaves on people cannot be overstated. Nobody, be they man, woman, trans, gay, or something in between, should be subjected to such torment. Toxic masculinity is a made-up term that is as empty as it is asinine. Anyone who favors subjecting people to this kind of "therapy" is basically condoning atrocity. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/18 12:27 AM |
| 2 | Profiles In Noble Masculinity: Hank HillThanks for your comment. I appreciate it. I don't doubt that there are many variations of male archetypes. There's no one right way to portray traits of noble masculinity. Both Hank Hill and Joel portray that masculinity in their own way. They use different approaches, but they have similar results. Some of the other character profiles I have planned will likely do the same. And thanks for mentioning Sherlock Holmes. I hadn't considered doing a profile on him, but the more I think about it, the … | /r/MensRights | 01/06/18 05:56 PM |

| 2 | Hear me phwoar: why it is OK for female critics to lust after male celebritiesThis article is pretty weak, in my opinion. It doesn't do anything to explain why women lusting after male celebrities isn't a double standard. If one group of people can do something that others can't without stigma, then that, by definition, is a double standard. If you can't justify it, then it's every bit as flawed as every other double standard. If you can only provide excuses, then you can't justify it. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/18 09:25 PM |

People who make these kinds of statements aren't taken seriously for good reason. | /r/MensRights | 21/05/18 01:53 PM |

This seems to be the go-to response lately to anything that undercuts or undermines the narrative of these regressive brands of feminism. I wouldn't put it in the domain of feminism, as a whole, but the sex-negative brand of feminism has been getting a lot more vocal lately. They becoming more and more sensitive to anything that even hints at sexual assault, from cat-calling to robots. They're basically the new Puritans.

| 5 | This Is Why Men Don't Want To Date Modern WomenI somewhat disagree that the notion that a mutually supportive relationship between men and women has fallen out of favor with modern women. I think that's somewhat of a generalization. There are, indeed, some women and I would argue it's a sizable group of women who see men as nothing more than a means to an end. They have all these lofty, unrealistic expectations about who their man should be and what he should provide them. Those are women who will, at some point, learn the hard way that thei… | /r/MensRights | 16/05/18 05:24 PM |

After the attacks in Toronto, I suspect that discussions about men's issues will get derailed by the incel phenomenon. Even when someone makes a rational, reasoned argument on behalf of men's issues, someone else could just say "incel" the same way other people say "fake news" when they hear something they don't like. I think that sort of thing needs to be confronted. I also think there are more than a few parallels with radical femi… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/18 09:34 AM |

| 3 | When Is It Okay To Exchange Sex For Favors?That's an interesting insight that I didn't consider. Memories are very fungible, as most learned during the Satantic Ritual Abuse craze back in the 1980s. People are complicated and they don't always see things the same way after years and years of experience and maturity. In that sense, it's even harder to draw ethical lines. And I think too many people are starting to conflate a lack of consent with regret. | /r/MensRights | 11/05/18 04:51 PM |
| 1 | When Is It Okay To Exchange Sex For Favors?I agree. I think it's more than just a slippery slope. I think it's just an ethical minefield on every level. It doesn't take much for the exchange to turn into bribery. As I pointed out in the article, though, using sex for favors might actually be easier than money because sex is a universal currency, of sorts. I think when power dynamics are involved, the exchange gets to be very tricky. That's why there are laws against it and I think those laws should remain. Someone in a position of power,… | /r/MensRights | 11/05/18 04:49 PM |
| 3 | When Is It Okay To Exchange Sex For Favors?Yeah, I've seen that same divide. There are sex-positive feminists out there, some who even post in subs like this, who don't see things like sex work or exchanging sex for favors as a problem. The sex-negative feminists, who also tend to be the more radical feminists, paint with a much broader brush. They interpret every act by a man towards a woman as inherently oppressive. Even when there's consent on both sides, they'll argue that the consent was somehow influenced, which is a gross generali… | /r/MensRights | 11/05/18 12:47 PM |
| 2 | When Is It Okay To Exchange Sex For Favors?Thanks for the comment. In simplest terms, that's the ideal. I think if there's consent between the two parties and no coercion, then there's nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world. Even with consent and no coercion, it's still illegal if that favor is in the form of money. If someone tries to offer sex in exchange to pay a fine, which cops have sometimes encountered, that's illegal too. Even for things that legal, exchanging sex in return for favorable treatment… | /r/MensRights | 11/05/18 12:44 PM |
| 10 | When Is It Okay To Exchange Sex For Favors?I feel like this is a question that few are asking, but is extremely relevant to the ongoing anti-harassment movement that comes up so frequently in this sub and many others. Since the beginning of our species, people have exchanged sex for favors. It's probably one of the oldest forms of exchange in history. It doesn't always involve money or resources, either. There are any number of reasons, but by the increasingly rigid standards, you still label many of them as "problematic." I wrote this a… | /r/MensRights | 11/05/18 09:33 AM |

Because that's who we have to feel sorry for not the two men who spent 26 years in prison for a crime they didn't commit.It's injustice like this that I find truly horrendous. At the same time, though, I take some comfort in the knowledge that the injustice was uncovered. It took way too long and robbed two innocent men of 26 years of their lives, but justice eventually caught up with them. There's still a LONG way to go in terms of improving how our justice system handles cases like this, but every innocent person exonerated still counts as progress. | /r/MensRights | 08/05/18 06:21 PM |

I also agree that what he did was morally gray. However, in that situation, I still think Joel had the higher moral standing compared to the Fireflies because they lied too. They never told Ellie that they were going to kill her for the cure. They never even gave her a choice. On top of that, they provided no definitive proof that doing so would create a cure.

| 1 | Profiles In Noble Masculinity: Joel From “The Last Of Us”That's a tough question to answer and one that warrants a larger discussion. I address that to some extent in the article, but I didn't want to get into the weeds with that one, especially since it's probably going to be addressed at some point in Last of Us II. But in terms of a man wanting to protect a child who, by all accounts, he's come to see as a daughter, he did what any father would do.

| 4 | Profiles In Noble Masculinity: Joel From “The Last Of Us”There's a lot of media criticism these days about which male characters are toxic and which are "problematic." I've seen a lot of recent articles calling out Kratos from God of War or Thanos from Avengers: Infinity War as embodiment of more "toxic" male culture. Rather than debate those asinine concepts, I think it's more productive to single out male characters who embody the noble elements of men.

I think it's quite revealing in that it shows what people have been conditioned to expect of men, in general. Without knowing the tone in which the woman said it, I think it's fairly obvious that she meant it as a joke. But I think the fact it's such a joke, men being obsessed with "pursuing" women like a predator, says a lot about male stereotypes. They are there. It's very much like the old saying, "Men are dogs and women are angles." It's assumed men are go… | /r/MensRights | 30/04/18 06:10 PM |

From a pure men's rights perspective, this sort of thing is something to both applaud and encourage. Right now, there's an undeniable disparity with respect to how much control women have over their fertility compared to men. I think that disparity breeds a lot of conflict.

I think it's an experience that often goes overlooked and forgotten because of the taboos surrounding stripping and adult entertainment in general. To some extent, I think those taboos actually fuel the behaviors your described. The fact that it's forbidden, dirty, and deviant actually makes it more appealing to some extent. And the more people try to stigmatize it, the worse it gets. Thanks again for sharing and I sincerely hope that, with the success of m… | /r/MensRights | 18/04/18 08:45 PM |

Movies like Magic Mike have made male strippers more mainstream, but they're not subject to the same taboos as their female counterparts. I think that's an issue that doesn't get enough scrutiny. It shows a disparity that, in the long run, is harmful to everyone. With that, I hope this article generates some further discussion. | /r/MensRights | 18/04/18 10:41 AM |

Since the practice is in active decline, I think that will likely change over the course of the next several years so it'll be interesting to see how attitudes change with it. | /r/MensRights | 03/04/18 09:47 PM |
| 1 | Circumcised Vs. Uncircumcised Preference (According To Porn Stars)I respectfully disagree. I think the attitudes of women are part of what informs our overall attitudes towards circumcision. The idea that a circumcised penis is "normal" is going to affect how people perceive circumcision. It may even inform how parents decide on whether or not to circumcise their boys. That's why I think these preferences are worth noting. I believe they do play a factor in the circumcision debate. | /r/MensRights | 03/04/18 10:14 AM |
| 1 | Circumcised Vs. Uncircumcised Preference (According To Porn Stars)Just one quick side note about this article. I found that when researching it, he idea of what constituted "normal" was kind of a factor. In North America, circumcision is considered more normal than it is in places like Europe and Asia. Over there, a circumcised man is more an anomaly and that does color their perspective. The debate on which is more effective during intimacy is kind of unique to North America, which is revealing in and of itself. | /r/MensRights | 03/04/18 09:42 AM |
| 6 | Truth About Circumcision with Joe Rogan and the Legion of SkanksGreat segment. I really like Joe Rogan's show. He's really good at sifting through the nonsense and agendas to get to the heart of the issue. He does the same with circumcision and he does it with attitude. Can't help but respect that. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/18 12:22 PM |
| 1 | Why does it have to be mens rights or women's rights?I think hiding pain is something nobody, regardless of gender, enjoys having to endure. It places an inherent value, or lack thereof, on that pain. Be it the pain women go through with periods or the kind men go through with the expectations they face, just not being able to acknowledge it really hurts. I can relate and I think a lot of men on this sub have similar stories to tell. It doesn't have to be exactly the same as the stories women tell. Pain is pain. It doesn't care about your gender. … | /r/MensRights | 26/03/18 08:22 PM |
| 1 | Why does it have to be mens rights or women's rights?Well, in my personal experience, a man showing too much emotion will often result in someone telling them to "man up." That's a common theme I've seen throughout this thread, the idea that men just have to suck up their suffering, repress their feelings, and endure. Personally, I've experienced that throughout my life. It's not always direct, but I always got the impression that it was "uncool" for a man to express his emotions. That's a quick way for women to not respect you and for other men t… | /r/MensRights | 26/03/18 07:19 PM |

Some of those issues are unique to them that the other never has to worry about. Men will never have to worry about giving birth or being forced to carry a child to term. Women will never have to worry about getting drafted to war, getting disproportionately punished for the same crimes, testicular cancer, or being scolded for expressing emotions.

| 17 | How Does Submissive Sex Work in the Age of #MeToo?This is pretty fascinating stuff. Nice find! Thanks for sharing. I would actually add something else to the mix. The more this kind of submissive sex becomes taboo, the more it's going to appeal to certain people. Call it the "forbidden fruit" effect. Once something gains taboo, it gains another level of appeal that's always going to excite a certain crowd of people. In a sense, the anti-harassment movement might actually make submissive sex more appealing than they ever would have otherwise. It… | /r/MensRights | 13/03/18 05:43 PM |
| 2 | Katy Perry kissing that kid on American Idol.Yeah, I find myself doing that too whenever I see a moment like this. I imagine what the reaction would be if the genders were reversed. More often than not, it reveals just how far the double standards go. I think in recent times, any gesture a man has towards a woman is subject to greater scrutiny. And that's a real problem because the more reluctant we are to show affection to one another, the easier it is to resent one another. | /r/MensRights | 13/03/18 04:35 PM |

| 1 | Gad Saad: Is toxic masculinity a valid concept?I've already argued that no, it isn't. The whole concept is obscenely contrived. It's just a blanket term some regressives use to lump any behavior they don't like to a single, easy-to-identify source. It's simple, neat, and fits a certain agenda. It's also completely wrong and ignores the larger complexities of being masculine and being human, in general. | /r/MensRights | 09/03/18 04:52 PM |

| 6 | What Men Lose From CircumcisionI don't care for those fruit metaphors either. When writing this, I tried to find some better symbolism. I couldn't find much, sadly. I also think it's revealing that male circumcision can be downplayed by comparing it to fruit while there's no similar method for FGM. The double standard in this issue is wide and I sincerely hope we find a way to bridge that divide at some point. | /r/MensRights | 27/02/18 04:58 PM |
| 9 | 2018 Could Be A Big Year For Divorce Thanks To New Tax RulesSimply put, it'll no longer be possible to deduct alimony payments from your taxes anymore. That means if you're stuck paying alimony, you'll end up paying more under the new tax rules. For some, that means getting divorced will be THAT much more expensive. For others, it means getting married in the first place is that much less appealing, especially for the men who end up paying more alimony. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/18 01:01 PM |
| 3 | Terry Crews on #MeToo and the backlash he experienced: "I endured the male version of a female survivor being asked, 'What were you wearing?'"I find it troubling that nobody really pays much attention to Terry Crews' story. He's basically ignored the same way Corey Feldman has been ignored for years, even when he speaks out against the sexual exploitation of men. It's a pretty egregious double standards, but because he's a man, like Feldman, his pain doesn't seem to matter as much. I hope this changes at some point, but I have a feeling Crews won't get even a fraction of the support that female victims have gotten. | /r/MensRights | 07/02/18 07:11 PM |

| 20 | Why The Men Were Silent At The Golden Globes (For Good Reason)Yeah, that's the real irony here. The women clearly want the men to speak up, but the current environment ensures that if someone doesn't say exactly what they want to hear, then they're condemned. Matt Damon found this out the hard way. I think a lot of male actors took notice. They saw first-hand what happens when they dare deviant from the narrative. It can be damaging to their career and their reputation. So they have every reason to stay silent. | /r/MensRights | 10/01/18 01:51 PM |

| 2 | Are men accused of harassment denied due process? Or are the victims?The problem with due process, which isn't actually a problem, is that it presumes innocence and requires evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, at least in criminal cases. And simple accusations, even if there are a lot of them, are tantamount to anecdotal evidence, which is not reliable. It's tragic, but when the only evidence involves a he said/she said situation, due process means that the accused cannot and should not be convicted. That's just basic law.

I'm aware of the toys you mentioned, but my primary point was that there's a much broader, more diverse market for female sex toys when compared to male sex toys. On top of that, women who use these toys don't face as much stigma compared to men. A woman with a vibrator is considered kinky. A man with ANY kind of sex toy is considered creepy. I'm sorry if I didn't make that point well enough. I hope to do better in future articles. Thanks for your … | /r/MGTOW | 08/01/18 12:00 PM |
| 4 | Joss Whedon: Feminist Hypocrite Or All Too Human?I agree. It is an old, familiar tale.
