2	This recent BBC documentary about mens rights has been made and edited in such an unbalanced way that it makes being anti-feminist seem like nazism, and supporting mens rights seem ludicrous. It even makes an 18 year old who speaks with great rationality seem like a delusional extremist. To be fair, that Roosh V guy seems like a pretty scary fringe element. I honestly would have had a very similar reaction to the host's on many of his statements throughout the conference and later chats. The interviews with Yiannopoulous and the 18 year old kid seem to have been heavily edited to only show the points of opposition to feminists. Although it might not be easy for an outsider to access the issues discussed, it doesn't seem as they even tried. Is this a part of a series? Or is this …	/r/MensRights	17/12/15 01:30 PM

1	Feminist speaker at Oxford Union debate, opposing freedom of speech and right to offend, regrets it and manages to get her video deleted off the official Oxford Union YouTube channel. Yep, playing devil's advocate is something that is completely legitimate, especially in a debate society. By the way, it isn't necessarily as easy as simply stating your own views, and there in lies its value as an intellectual exercise. A debate society is not meant to be a public political forum for shaping public thoughts on an issue. It's an exercise, more akin to an actor's rendition of a character in a drama society, meant to showcase the person's skills in research, exposition, counter-ar…	/r/MensRights	28/10/15 12:01 PM
5	Incels, 4chan and the Beta Uprising: making sense of one of the Internet’s most-reviled subcultures I agree, the article is pretty balanced and well-written. The final appeal to sympathy with the suffering of these people is a cherry on top of a very solid article, in my opinion. It is apparent that she did some non-superficial research on the subject. The article could've simply resorted to generalizations and still generate a lot of traffic. I'll definitely keep an eye out for her articles.	/r/MensRights	14/10/15 06:25 PM
6	Brazilian men are are more than 10 times as likely to be murdered as a woman, but women report higher feelings of "insecurity" You can't feel unsafe when you're dead.	/r/MensRights	14/10/15 12:47 PM
–	We Need to Stop Telling Ourselves that Women and Children are the Only Refugees that Matter. The writer of the article is a feminist.	/r/MensRights	10/09/15 05:50 PM
–	Dear my bro's and chill sis', would you support Feminist... outside of the West? Yes, and I do support feminism in my country, to an extent. Women do face legitimate discrimination and some legal and cultural barriers are still in place that prevent them from being free (in a way first world women may be). A prolonged and brutal armed conflict and a deeply religious society does no favors to anyone's right to a free sexuality. Feminism isn't all composed of the superfluous nitpicking that is usually showcased here. The U.S. Has gone a long way in the civil rights track, whil…	/r/MensRights	28/08/15 03:39 PM
2	Judge jails kids for refusing lunch with dad; blames mother for poisoning the children's attitude toward their father. We really don't have much information on the case from the article.	/r/MensRights	10/07/15 09:17 PM
-1	Girl challenges boys-only robotics class, designed to help boys catch up in literacy. People say she was fighting sexism. Yup same here. No special treatment for anyone. Give access to all children to the opportunity to learn.	/r/MensRights	07/07/15 12:11 PM

2	[Father's Day] “Can we make them talk about your father?”: Reclaiming Respect for Fatherhood Great read. The boxing trainer's motivational speech was incredible.	/r/MensRights	22/06/15 11:32 AM
-5	The male Pill is coming - and it's going to change everything. New forms of male contraception are estimated to hit the market in two years and - unlike women's options - most won't contain hormones. Agrede. The law tries to make the best of a bad situation in order to benefit the child. People may argue about the problems with its implementation, but I agree that the principle is ok.	/r/MensRights	18/06/15 03:35 PM
-1	Feminist Gruesomely tortured and murdered a man, sentenced to 25 years, gets out, and claims women in prison are victims. Oh and she fights for "Gender equality." I'm not blaming men for anything. I'm defending the woman in the video for what I see as unfair dismissal of what she is saying due to her past crimes and the fact that she is only addressing the issues she experienced in a sex-segregated facility. I have said nothing about blaming anyone for anything, so please don't put words in my mouth.	/r/MensRights	17/06/15 07:16 PM
–	Feminist Gruesomely tortured and murdered a man, sentenced to 25 years, gets out, and claims women in prison are victims. Oh and she fights for "Gender equality." Honestly, I would be VERY pissed if I was forced to remain in a place where there was not enough toilet paper, and had to periodically ask guards to provide it to me piecemeal (don't know if this word is appropriate here). I do not think that her past crime should prevent her from complaining about this. She served her sentence, which is the punishment we as a society agreed to impose on her particular crime. Is she a good person? Definitely not. But her past should not prevent us from listening…	/r/MensRights	17/06/15 03:42 PM
2	A spanish article about the violence against men and how to act (for spaniard readers here) Great article. It really highlights the symptoms of domestic violence and provides advice and resources for those affected.	/r/MensRights	17/06/15 10:57 AM
2	Argentinian judges reduce rapist’s sentence ‘because six-year-old victim was gay’ - “It cannot be considered abuse when a boy is used to being abused in his home and is accustomed to sexual behavior and has a homosexual orientation” This is horrible. Poor child. I wonder how the judge managed to argue his way past the age of consent laws there. Do we know if there's some type of judicial review of the decision pending?	/r/MensRights	22/05/15 10:40 AM
1	Can someone explain why males accused of rape are named publicly, why their accusers are not? This is actually the correct answer. It should be higher up.	/r/MensRights	21/05/15 10:33 PM
2	Mexican boy raping girl's fist with his face It's very sad. Obviously there is a story behind it that we know nothing about. Why does he just stand there? Why doesn't he leave? What are they saying to him? Victims of bullying need our sympathy, regardless of gender. Oh, and they all seem to be Brazilian, not Mexican, btw.	/r/MensRights	13/05/15 10:15 AM
1	Modern man a wimp says anthropologist (x-post from /r/oney.) Interesting article, but I see no harm in it really.	/r/MensRights	08/04/15 05:25 PM
-1	A Rape on Campus: What Went Wrong The report posted suggests it was an issue of laziness and not deliberate intent behind her mistake. It IS a serious mistake, but calling for her career to be over is still very very harsh. What would you do if you suddenly lost your livelihood? The work that feeds you and your family? If a single mistake meant that, on top of answering for the pending lawsuits where you are to be held personally liable for your mistake, nobody would hire you again? Do you think that it is fair that, after indem…	/r/MensRights	06/04/15 01:42 PM
-1	A Rape on Campus: What Went Wrong People on this thread are calling for the reporter's career to be over. Come on, people, it's a human being we're talking about here. It is not necessary for her career to be over. I don't wish that on anyone, especially if acting on (although misguided) good faith. Everyone makes mistakes. She should most definitely face the consequences of her mistake (which was shown in the report not to be entirely hers within the organization, and somewhat the result of her main source's manipulation). But …	/r/MensRights	06/04/15 11:49 AM
1	Boys Will Be Boys: Deconstructing Masculinity and Manhood at Dartmouth He argues, among many other things, that there is a sense of sexual entitlement in current masculinity, and that the in group dynamics between males (hazing, homogenizing behaviors) are a challenge to gender equality, as they negatively shape male and female experience on campus. Among the things that stuck with me (don't expect a very accurate tl;dr of an hour and a half): Social dynamics are changing. People are growing up slower than in the 1800s: people living with their parents longer, assu…	/r/MensRights	02/03/15 08:48 PM
1	I am a woman, and I am sorry. I agree. I think this is a question of form prevailing over substance. There are people on both sides that are crazy and have fringe opinions on very controversial issues who, vying for attention, use inflammatory speech to get their point across. I, personally, agree with many of Feminisim's points about sexism in our everyday lives, but the way some feminists try to get their point across by pandering to their base really irks me. I consider myself a progressive person. I am a lawyer who acted…	/r/MensRights	15/12/14 12:19 PM
1	Washington Post reports on joke "study": Men are just more likely to be idiots This is actually the only piece of reporting on the "study" that states the non-seriousness of the results. I actually think it is fair reporting on this "news".	/r/MensRights	15/12/14 10:42 AM
1	Some of the worst twitter trolls are women and not men - contrary to media stereotyps I agree. The only thing I can conclude from this article is the fact that people can be assholes, regardless of their gender. But I guess we already know that, don't we? I really don't like the title to this thread, as we'll assume of the comments. Don't perpetuate gender stereotypes please.	/r/MensRights	12/06/14 11:33 AM
0	Finnish equality debate video (with english subtitles) Meh, I stopped watching when he said that women's problems are not important because they are "made up". I don't think stating any gender's problems as non-existent is a fair assessment.	/r/MensRights	03/05/14 07:32 PM

1	Denmark: Bella Sky must allow men in its women-only hotel rooms I agree. Sometimes the law intrudes excessively and peoples' (and businesses') plans. I see no foul in that hotel's business model. This really doesn't hurt anybody in practice.	/r/MensRights	29/04/14 12:24 PM
1	In Germany the Justice ministry's has stated that state institutions must use 'gender-neutral' language. Germany is a feminist man hating country and it is likely that the feminine gender, already the "At the moment, German is a very comfortable language, but a very unfair one." THIS, however, is clearly false, as anyone trying to learn German can attest.	/r/MensRights	25/03/14 11:22 PM
2	CBC Q ran an episode on rape culture. I think /r/mensrights will like it. I may not be the most informed person to answer that question. So I'll pass. I'm sure there must be people deeply knowledgeable of the subject (including both the academic foundations of the subject and it's real world basis justification) and good critical thinking skills. The feminist proponent seems to have a clear mastery over the subject. An uninformed opponent would be hard pressed to argue against her. I'm sure someone in this subreddit can come up with a name. Sadly, that person is not m…	/r/MensRights	25/03/14 11:08 PM
2	CBC Q ran an episode on rape culture. I think /r/mensrights will like it. I listened to the letters being read, and it seemed like the natural response. Bear in mind that this was a one-sided debate where no compelling case was made against the concept of rape culture being debated. This debate would not change the opinion of people who believe that rape culture as a concept is useful and applicable. On the contrary, it would validate their opinions. The opposite is also true.	/r/MensRights	25/03/14 10:27 PM
6	CBC Q ran an episode on rape culture. I think /r/mensrights will like it. Honestly, the debate was awful. Ms. MacDonald's arguments were lacking at best, and she constantly changed or avoided the subject. She also seemed to have no answer when her counterpart went into the specifics of the survey questions. Overall, it seemed like she simply went into the debate with some very narrow bullet points, and simply refused to debate outside of them. People are rightfully angry with the show. MacDonald, as a guest in the debate, did not contribute anything meaningful at all.	/r/MensRights	25/03/14 07:20 PM
1	Mother slaps daughter in domestic dispute. Responding police kill father I wholeheartedly agree with you. We do not have all the evidence on the case.	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 12:15 AM
1	Feminist suggests that famous men should be denied the right of a jury trial when accused of sexual offences. I agree with her, the trial by jury has flaws as a means to judge a famous person's conduct. However, I think a non-jury trial is also heavily influenced by the judge's personal opinions (although, as a trained professional it may be less so). I also agree with her on the issue that the verdict reached in a court of law is based only on the information presented at the trial (by definition far from perfect). Testimony is unreliable in most occasions and hard evidence is hard to come by. However,…	/r/MensRights	07/02/14 10:35 PM
2	Man held as 'slave' by abusive family. Beaten daily before discovered. Mother of family only gets 4 months prison, Father gets 6 years! I try never to judge a criminal sentencing based on a news article. It is quite likely that the difference in their sentences is based on evidence presented at the trial that the journalists will likely not present in their article due to lazyness or time/space constraints. This is no men's rights issue, at least not with the limited information provided by the article.	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 04:22 AM
