3	That Guy You Slept With Clearly he is referring to full ride scholarships at the prestigious Johnson & Wales university where many major in fashion and pastry arts.	/r/MensRights	10/01/12 06:43 PM
-7	That Guy You Slept With I'm so glad I was single for about five minutes. shudder	/r/MensRights	10/01/12 01:52 PM
1	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men Point taken. I think the solution is to update my apology post with the newly published policy and be done with MRA. Thank you for responding.	/r/MensRights	09/01/12 03:40 PM
1	“It’s women who suppress the sexuality of other women.” Now might be a good time to point out that momentary male attention and long-term reproductive success have little crossroads :)	/r/MensRights	09/01/12 03:49 AM
0	Should men get a say in Abortion? So because I mentioned not wanting to post more MRA things on my blog, now I have no right to post in this forum. Then you say because I have a hunch that most abortion situations do NOT involve a father pledging finances and stability that I'm an airhead. Call me names all day but don't kid yourself that I don't have a point.	/r/MensRights	09/01/12 02:59 AM
2	Should men get a say in Abortion? I second this.	/r/MensRights	09/01/12 01:42 AM
-3	Should men get a say in Abortion? And I prefaced it by saying "I have a hunch". Please work on reading comprehension before embarrassing yourself.	/r/MensRights	09/01/12 01:39 AM
0	Should men get a say in Abortion? No, I said that is usually the case, not every case.	/r/MensRights	09/01/12 01:38 AM
-2	Should men get a say in Abortion? Hunch = every friend of mine who has had an abortion. Tell me, how many men do you know who begged the mother of his child not to abort and she did anyway?	/r/MensRights	08/01/12 08:50 PM
-2	Should men get a say in Abortion? I have a hunch the number of pregnancies ending in abortion with the father screaming, "I want this child! Please let me contribute financially and emotionally as much as I can!" and the mother saying "nope sorry, I'm getting an abortion anyway" are in the acute minority.	/r/MensRights	08/01/12 04:04 PM
1	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men Paul Elam deleted my comments and banned me when I tried to make the corrections. I was very civil and even pleading, they just don't want to admit they made a mistake. I never put it on my blog because there was a time lapse of about a month between the dust up and when the school published their new policy (the only "proof" I have). At this point, since it's blown over, I don't want to risk being a target again. There would be those who would say I was lying or that I made that policy up. It h…	/r/MensRights	08/01/12 03:17 PM
3	A girl who supports Mens rights. Ooooh, an up vote! It tickles!	/r/MensRights	08/01/12 03:20 AM
1	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men Thanks. I've come to terms with my "profile". At least I'm on there with Katherine Heigl! What sucks, besides the false info up about me, is that I'm not a media personality with tons of Google stuff to drown it out. My mother-in-law is from Turkey and I was so embarrassed when she told me her friends Googled her and found me. The whole family supports me 100% and in fact it was my very traditional, non-American inlaws who prodded me to handle this potty issue with the school, but still. It suck…	/r/MensRights	08/01/12 01:33 AM
-9	A girl who supports Mens rights. I'm voting tits.	/r/MensRights	08/01/12 01:25 AM
2	A girl who supports Mens rights. Oh I see, I misunderstood then. Hm. Tough one. I guess if I had to choose which gender I'd be in the way back machine, I'll take female as well because of the rad aprons ;)	/r/MensRights	08/01/12 01:21 AM
3	A girl who supports Mens rights. For arguments sake, maybe we should go back to when only white property owners could vote. I'm both of those and I'm pretty sure not every MRA in here is. Sounds much different then, huh?	/r/MensRights	08/01/12 01:20 AM
4	A girl who supports Mens rights. Wait, what? I followed you until you said you'd rather be home raising the family instead of having the responsibility of "voting to elect the right person". Are you saying you preferred it when women couldn't vote because it's too hard? Wow. I'm a stay-at-home mom and I love the traditional roles in my house, but honey, you have to vote. When the work of caring about the world around you is "too hard" you lose your right to complain. That is your voice. Use it.	/r/MensRights	08/01/12 12:17 AM
1	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men Hey, as much as I hate this, could everyone please up vote "donkey Schlong" who asked me to stop posting below? Hiding his thread is masking an interesting discussion below it. Thanks.	/r/MensRights	07/01/12 12:04 PM
2	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men Wow, seriously? Because it hasn't changed. I'm on the registry and nearly had to move out of my home from harassment. The real problem is I got into a pissing match with Paul Elam who seized the "good press" the misunderstanding caused and refused to correct any mistakes written about me. Not that it would matter at this point anyway, since it spread like wildfire across the "blogosphere". Even people defending me were misinformed (like for example that I am a feminist activist - I am a PARK act…	/r/MensRights	07/01/12 11:53 AM
2	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men No. Please be aware that my stance that volunteer men (these were not employees, mind you, they are a revolving door of parents who have to serve time in the classroom) not take my daughter to the restroom only had to do with my own child. I didn't concern myself with what happens to the other girls and I hadn't considered who should take the boys because I don't have any sons. (I was later criticized for saying women taking boys was "fine" in my comments section, but that was because I was talk…	/r/MensRights	07/01/12 03:54 AM
2	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men Yes, it's me. There are some errors in my profile I am happy to go into if anyone is curious.	/r/MensRights	07/01/12 02:22 AM
2	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men @DS, you're such an awesome detective considering I announced myself the other day and never changed my screen name.	/r/MensRights	07/01/12 02:20 AM
2	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men Thank you for remembering me and being kind! Yes, I find this whole world of MRA fascinating. I was reading some fiction the other day and kept seeing things pop out at me like, "hey, why is it okay that the heroic female character shoved the man and caused him a bloody injury?" The next scene was him like, "oh, I shouldn't have upset you". WTF? What if he had thrown her around and caused her to get cut up? End of the story, that's what. It's seriously everywhere. Not that I agree with everythin…	/r/MensRights	07/01/12 02:19 AM
8	Twenty Four Indicators of Systemic Discrimination Against Men "Zero percent of American 12th grade girls were able to correctly answer basic math and physics questions" I find this hard to believe. What were the stats for the boys for the same questions? I'm no math wiz myself, but 0% seems a little strange.	/r/MensRights	06/01/12 11:01 PM
1	“It’s women who suppress the sexuality of other women.” I don't think it has much to do with men. For example sororities have huge requirements for dress and conduct, which is a matrix for women with only secondary regard for male perception. It really boils down to sorting class. Here is an example: Wearing the wrong kind of make-up foundation or the improper shoe (closed toe vs. open) with particular outfits is a "crime" during sorority rush, yet most men regard these types of things with neutrality. "Slut shaming" speaks more to class and socioeco…	/r/MensRights	06/01/12 03:19 AM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? Hm. I'll just put some links here. http://www.chicagonow.com/high-gloss-and-sauce/2011/12/ridiculous-chicago-dad-facing-child-abuse-charges-andre-curry/ http://www.chicagonow.com/high-gloss-and-sauce/2011/12/little-liars-teaching-kids-honesty/ http://www.chicagonow.com/high-gloss-and-sauce/2011/11/silly-cosmo-muzzles-are-not-for-people/	/r/MensRights	03/01/12 10:38 PM
5	The Female Privilege Checklist Mothers shame each other all the time about the pain of childbirth. They don't say "woman up". They guilt each other that unmedicated childbirth is better for the baby. And maybe it is. But the level which one woman will shame another for getting an epidural is atrocious. I had one woman tell me I didn't really give birth. Ha! I was in labor for TWO DAYS and had pitocin pumped in my arm for 13 hours before pushing for 2.5. Yes, I had an epidural a few hours before the child was born (that had wo…	/r/MensRights	03/01/12 09:35 PM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? Do you really think it was intentional that spellcheck does that to "women's" and "men's"? I thought about submitting a few things I've written since, but I'd just be accused of pandering. I do identify myself when I comment though because I believe in being who you are everywhere. I can't stand it when people sock puppet around town.	/r/MensRights	03/01/12 09:20 PM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? I did not know spellcheck was so gender biased ;) Before I wrote the potty post, I found a feminist message board to test the reaction thinking that would be my only opposition. Ah, then I was introduced to the world of MRM. I really don't care who I get flack from when it's something I know is right, like my circumcision stance. I got lots of flack about it but it didn't bother me because the word needs to get out there. The potty thing was completely different. I wasn't trying to get a policy …	/r/MensRights	03/01/12 06:36 PM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? I had never heard the term "misandrist" before this and as a matter of fact, spell check is questioning if that's a word. Fine if you want to be angry about what I wrote. I apologized and that is more than you will ever see out of anyone else dragged through the mud by this group. But it was not a feminist perspective. To illustrate my point, here are other examples of ideas that would be considered "misandrist" but not feminist: Only mothers should stay home with a child Men cannot cook for the…	/r/MensRights	03/01/12 02:58 PM
1	Wasting a Precious Resource: Our Boys Thanks, I'll take a look.	/r/MensRights	03/01/12 02:13 AM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? You know my original post never came from a feminist perspective, right? It mentioned the word "feminist" because that is supposedly the "progressive, cool-kid" and expected viewpoint which I did not share. The belief that women care for children is not too liberal. It is, however, very ingrained in our traditional, non-American family (myself excluded, I was born in the midwest). To give you an example, my mother-in-law considers herself a very liberal person for not wearing a burque. She is mu…	/r/MensRights	03/01/12 01:23 AM
8	Wasting a Precious Resource: Our Boys Funny, my husband and I were JUST discussing this very thing the other night. Weird. His take is that school was geared toward the learning style of boys for so long that he doesn't buy it has changed so much. My point was that ADHD drugs are prescribed so often to boys now to make them calmer, like girls. Maybe what has changed is the expectation of how kids are supposed to behave. (We have two girls so I guess it doesn't really matter to us, but it was quite a discussion.) I tweeted this - tha…	/r/MensRights	02/01/12 09:56 PM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? What is your point in bashing me? I'm only here because I feel the topic is worthy of attention. I guess you'd rather just preach to the choir here in your echo chamber than have an outside person take an interest. You win. I was thinking of exploring this topic again on my blog which has a fairly high national, mainstream readership but your being a dick reminds me why I should avoid men's issues like the plague. Hey everyone, pat this guy on the back for promoting progress!	/r/MensRights	02/01/12 03:15 AM
0	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? That is incorrect. Yes it is me, but I never said that. As a matter of fact, on several occasions MRAs themselves have lobbied to have me removed from the registry because so much of m y profile is false. (Not that I mind being on there per se - I'm in great company with Katherine Heigl!)	/r/MensRights	01/01/12 10:18 PM
-1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? One in the same! And apparently the reading comprehension of many MRAs is flawed because I said 99% of sexual predators are men, not 99% of men are sexual predators. BIG difference. I am happy to repeat my comment above: Yes, I think my daughters are entitled to privacy in gender-assigned bathrooms. If you have a problem with that, start with every public building in the country. Just because my child is SMALL doesn't make her less of a person. That "profile" of me is entirely misleading. Not on…	/r/MensRights	01/01/12 08:28 PM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? Well it is the same thing, but not everyone may be aware of that.	/r/MensRights	01/01/12 08:25 PM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? Do I seem like a man hater? Hm. Thank you for the food for thought. I didn't believe my comment had anything to do with women being "good". I merely meant to imply that women have a physiological connection to a newborn infant that men do not share, an instinct that precludes the desire to hand it over to anyone, for any reason. Especially someone wielding a knife. Such an instinct is nearly impossible to follow, of course. There are the obvious medical examinations that need to be performed and…	/r/MensRights	01/01/12 08:21 PM
2	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? I think it's the very same thing and should NOT be tolerated.	/r/MensRights	01/01/12 06:34 AM
0	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? Yeah, I think my daughters are entitled to privacy in gender-assigned bathrooms. If you have a problem with that, start with every public building in the country. Just because my child is SMALL doesn't make her less of a person. You don't even know what battle you're fighting here. That "profile" of me is entirely misleading. Not only did I never advocate for policy change at the school, neither did I invent the statistic. Further, my opinion was about how my OWN child should be handled. She was…	/r/MensRights	01/01/12 06:33 AM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? Mothers may permit it, but I believe the majority are compromising and defaulting to the father for the final say. Unless they are just telling me that and the truth is it's a unanimous decision they later blame the fathers for. That is possible!	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 09:06 PM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? I can't see the article, just the headline. I guess there will always be crazy people out there. Allow me to rephrase. No GOOD mother is happy about handing her child over to be cut. She might consent to it out of pressure, but the natural reaction a mother has to her newborn baby is not to hand him over.	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 07:51 PM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? What is this "yourselves" bit? I was just suggesting if feminists are a demographic one takes issue with and from whom you'd like to gather support on this matter, that might be a tactic to use if your goal is less circumcision. Meh, forget it. I forgot the second I have anything to say on an MRM issue I'm an "evil feminist". Forget it.	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 07:43 PM
1	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? "Lying"? That was rude. I'm telling you of the mothers I talked to and the healthy discussion on my blog there evidence that mothers weren't pushing it. As for your first link (I'm not bothering with the second) it seems like the mother is trying to justify a decision she regrets. Whatever. I guess I really don't care that much in the end to fight you about it. Buh bye!	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 07:37 PM
-4	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? Interesting. Is it really a matter of not thinking it's a problem or more of a matter of focusing their issues on things that pertain to women? Just asking. There are a lot of wrongs out there in the world but you can only fight so many battles if that makes sense. Maybe the way to get feminists on board is to come from the angle of supporting mothers' rights. All the moms I know were either upset about their husband's decision to circumcise or just went along with it. That is to say no mother I…	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 04:51 PM
7	Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision? I find it interesting that feminists are blamed for circumcision. I'm a mother of two girls, but when I was pregnant with the second one I started worrying about the circumcision decision if the child was a boy. It just doesn't seem right to me. No politics behind that, just how I feel. Anyway, as I was researching the topic and putting out feelers with all my friends who have boys (none of whom ever mentioned being a feminist) nearly every mother said she had left the decision to her husband.

1	Paul, lets delete Jenna from RH So since you never saw it the threats (comments hidden on my blog and emails) it didn't happen? So maybe your story about your brother didn't happen because I didn't see it. (I don't actually doubt you, I'm actually sorry for your ordeal, I'm just pointing out the fallacy of your thinking.) And please tell me how I can be caught in "lies" when absolutely NO ONE has verified anything with a third party. Every single detail in this entire affair is my word against the writers at AVfM.	/r/MensRights	13/12/11 07:23 PM
1	Paul, lets delete Jenna from RH Leave me up there, I was just pointing out what black mail is. Katherine Heigl is on RH now for the stupidest thing imaginable, so I don't see the big deal. Please note it is YOUR people who said things like they hope my daughter gets molested. Disgusting. Would I badmouth people like that? Yup.	/r/MensRights	13/12/11 07:10 PM
0	Paul, lets delete Jenna from RH Absolutely not true. Blackmail is if something is offered in exchange. Simply admitting a mistake is the mark of a decent person.	/r/MensRights	12/12/11 11:09 PM
-1	Paul, lets delete Jenna from RH I appreciate your input. My decision to avoid MRM topics (even ones I have discovered need attention) more has to do with the fear of fallout. The Cosmo covered really irritated me, but I noticed writing about it led to further criticism and nastiness, so it doesn't seem worth it at this time to cover these issues. My loose plan at the moment is to finish selling my house (this whole thing spurred us to move - it's too dangerous having our info out there and people who hate us - you really shoul…	/r/MensRights	12/12/11 03:27 PM
1	Paul, lets delete Jenna from RH See my comment above. I wanted to do more, but the continual harassment after the fact made me realize it's not worth it at this time.	/r/MensRights	12/12/11 09:36 AM
0	Paul, lets delete Jenna from RH Are you saying the OP on this post is my husband? That is not correct. My husband is unaware of this site. I just found this thread (12 days late) when I came to see the fuss about Katherine Heigl. This is Jenna, btw.	/r/MensRights	12/12/11 09:26 AM
0	Paul, lets delete Jenna from RH To be fair, I conjured the school to remove male volunteers from taking MY daughter to the toilet. Never did I ask for any change in protocol for the other kids. This is a key point worth noting. My mistake was blogging about it, especially with a misleading headline. When the school decided to make a policy (where there had not been one in place before) it was of their own accord. This is not a regular school where you might imagine every base had been covered. It's a parent-run co-op and no on…	/r/MensRights	12/12/11 09:13 AM

1	Paul, lets delete Jenna from RH Who cares if the apology was heartfelt - you're not going to get any remorse from any other person on there. No policy change was ever requested at the school. The policy change that did occur was a result of the school's own realizations and NEVER addressed gender. The stat was not "made up", it was published in a book. So by your logic, the profile should stay up because the apology was insincere - even though it never should have been up in the first place. Register Her is such a joke.	/r/MensRights	12/12/11 05:07 AM
1	False allegation culture - Jenna Myers Karvunidia has assumed the position of victim and is pretending to be fearful for her safety You must not have read the 1st comment on that post, which was a "mangina checklist" from an MRA. He later amended his list to use the word "guys" instead of "fags". Yay progress?	/r/MensRights	29/10/11 12:45 PM
-1	False allegation culture - Jenna Myers Karvunidia has assumed the position of victim and is pretending to be fearful for her safety You are a horrible group who should be ashamed to be men. You say men are the victims because no one believes them when they are abused, yet you doubt me, a bombarded personal blogger who is the target of collective rage. Just look at what has been written to me on this site. What makes you doubt much worse has to to me privately? You are not men. You are disgusting.	/r/MensRights	27/10/11 06:53 PM
0	Nicole Fabian-Weber placed on offenders registry I can see what you're saying that I guess a person can be crazy and do something bad. But the blogger who promoted the action, not being under duress herself, exhibited very poor taste and horrible judgement. I'm on the registry for citing a disputed stat for which I later apologized and I'm pretty offended to be put in a lot with those who advocate violence.	/r/MensRights	27/10/11 03:13 AM

Not all women are crying oppression. If anything, my natural fear of other men is completely in line with that post. Other men have no biological concern for interests of my child. If we were still monkeys, that strange new dad would kill my baby and rape me. Don't you guys know anything about anthropology?

1	Paul, take Jenna off Register-her.com Paul has blocked my comments again so I am not able to point out on his latest article that the school's policy NEVER in the past, now or in the future has had language about gender in the bathroom. The policy "change" was a policy implementation where no language existed before - that of ensuring that no adult is alone with any child to protect both interests. This is the case at nearly every other institution of it's kind and is irrespective of gender. This makes a difference because one of Pa…	/r/MensRights	25/10/11 10:02 PM
