8	Why are so many people subscribed to the r/TRP subreddit, yet an extremely low amount of people are subscribed to r/exredpill? Because most people who reject the red pill did so before swallowing it. So most red-pillers may stay that way.....but most people never swallow it to begin with.	/r/ExRedPill	21/07/18 07:19 AM
3	Feminist MYTH Busted by His Excellency Warren Farrell - Why Men Earn Mor... Your comment prompted me to think about how likely men vs. women are to prefer staying out of wars as a nation.	/r/MensRights	16/08/15 04:05 PM
2	As a black male viewing white culture, I cannot help but feel feminism has co-opted white women (generally) and vilifies white males in mainsteam culture. If true, how or why did this occur? That's an interesting take. It doesn't show wether men or women are weaker, but rather that Adam's "weak spot" made it more effective to go at him using Eve, rather than directly.	/r/MensRights	26/02/13 08:28 PM
1	84% of working women told ForbesWoman and TheBump that staying home to raise children is a financial luxury they aspire to. More than one in three resent their partner for not earning enough to make that dream a reality. It may or may not. Sometimes a partner truly believes they're getting the short end of the stick, or are contributing far more. But this kind of assessment can either clarify that this is not true -- or, that it is true after all, and perhaps it would help to make some changes. It sounds like perhaps you're assuming that both partners are intrinsically hardened against being willing to change. That's a social/psyhological assumption, not a realistic characterization of all people. But it helps t…	/r/MensRights	24/09/12 08:53 PM
2	84% of working women told ForbesWoman and TheBump that staying home to raise children is a financial luxury they aspire to. More than one in three resent their partner for not earning enough to make that dream a reality. I definitely agree with most of what you've written here. A few thoughts: Some of this has to do with personal boundaries and overall communication. My wife and I developed ways of me making it clear when something was sub-par that consistently avoided argument. The lack of competition can be addressed in relational actions, such as spending time elsewhere when the home environment is not what is wanted. This can be escalated, but consequences as a method of taking care of oneself are far more e…	/r/MensRights	24/09/12 02:28 AM
3	When people ask me why I'm against 'all' kinds of feminism, this is my simplified answer. My experience so far has been that r/Masculism is less emotionally-driven than /r/MensRights. I do think there's a time for getting angry, and there's also a time to talk dispassionately. I occasionally unsubscribe temporarily from MensRights when I just can't take the grief, but I never unsubscribe from Masculism. Some other examples are: /r/Egalitarian /r/Egalitarianism /r/GenderEgalitarian /r/Equality They each have their own traits and tendencies, but generally don't tend to feel as "angry" …	/r/MensRights	23/09/12 08:30 PM
2	When people ask me why I'm against 'all' kinds of feminism, this is my simplified answer. Have you check out /r/Masculism? I recommend giving it a shot, regardless of whether you decide to park there or leave.	/r/MensRights	23/09/12 08:15 PM
6	When people ask me why I'm against 'all' kinds of feminism, this is my simplified answer. Feminism's counterpart would not be "maleism." It's Masculism. So yes, there is no "maleism" . . . but there is also no "femaleism."	/r/MensRights	23/09/12 06:49 PM
43	84% of working women told ForbesWoman and TheBump that staying home to raise children is a financial luxury they aspire to. More than one in three resent their partner for not earning enough to make that dream a reality. Sometimes it can help to sit down and literally calculate how much money it would take for daycare, housecleaning, food prep (e.g. eating out instead of someone cooking), etc, and view the results through the lens of a penny saved is a penny earned. Then, it's possible to look at all the "saved money" (from either a SAHD or a SAHM) as virtual income, and really see how much "weight" is being pulled. I've seen this really help some marriages -- and also lead to one parent giving up a career becau…	/r/MensRights	23/09/12 05:25 PM
1	In the UK criticism of how a woman spends your money is now "domestic violence", and applies to those under 18 as well. Yeah, that definitely happens. If I were in this situation, I would refuse to be the "helpmate" for my partner's financial struggles, leaving her to get a support network elsewhere (like gambler's anonymous and such). I would also set up legal documents indicating the problem ahead of time, once I knew about it. In the end, though, the fact that the problem you describe definitely happens does not mean financial domination doesn't happen. They both do. And frankly, it's ludicrous to suggest that…	/r/MensRights	23/09/12 12:03 AM
1	In the UK criticism of how a woman spends your money is now "domestic violence", and applies to those under 18 as well. I agree with the oversimplified legal structure of automatically making all property belong to both people and such, though any reason either person has to be concerned can be accounted for on paper. "Traditional marriage" can mean all kinds of things, depending on which tradition we're talking about. Go back far enough in one culture, and women have literally all the property rights. Go back far enough in another, and men have all of them. Marriage law has taken many forms.	/r/MensRights	23/09/12 12:00 AM
3	In the UK criticism of how a woman spends your money is now "domestic violence", and applies to those under 18 as well. That depends on if it's actually their money or not. If it's theirs -- and they have, say, a problem with gambling or overshopping -- they have the option of choosing to hand over control over their money to someone else. But that would be their choice, as an addiction-breaking mechanism. If it's your money, it's up to you what to do with it, period. Whether you put it in joint accounts or only in your own name is up to you. These kinds of policies are not about mandating that all income (earned…	/r/MensRights	22/09/12 03:08 PM
3	In the UK criticism of how a woman spends your money is now "domestic violence", and applies to those under 18 as well. Yeah, it might be. Many well-meaning laws turn to crap once biased people (aka "anyone at all") start applying them.	/r/MensRights	22/09/12 12:22 AM
15	In the UK criticism of how a woman spends your money is now "domestic violence", and applies to those under 18 as well. The article still has gender bias (e.g. "Men who bully..."), but the overall issue the article address seems to be legally balanced: "The definition will...make it clear that victims are not confined to one gender. According to recent Home Office statistics, 7 per cent of women and 5 per cent of men reported that they had experienced domestic violence." BTW the "controlling finances" issue is not about people being spend-o-holics with their partner's money and such, but often about one partner e…	/r/MensRights	21/09/12 10:55 PM
1	Why MRAs Should Be Pro-Choice: If only rape victims are allowed abortions, false accusations will skyrocket. That's a very relevant point. Unfortunate and true.	/r/MensRights	02/09/12 09:01 PM
1	Why MRAs Should Be Pro-Choice: If only rape victims are allowed abortions, false accusations will skyrocket. If the legal structure for the issue continued as it is currently designed, I believe you are right.	/r/MensRights	02/09/12 08:44 PM
1	Why MRAs Should Be Pro-Choice: If only rape victims are allowed abortions, false accusations will skyrocket. Yes, this reminds me of the illustration of being knocked out and waking up to find yourself medically "hooked" to a dying person, who now is being kept alive (for nine months) by sharing use of several of your organs. And they will die if they are "unhooked" from you. This in particular was used to illustrate the implications for women who are pregnant from being raped. It was a very powerful illustration, and I think made it easier for me (as a man) to emotionally resonate a bit more with what…	/r/MensRights	02/09/12 08:43 PM
2	Quick question, my sister is a feminist, and when I accused a female teacher of playing favorites with girls and called that teacher sexist, she says that it isn't sexist because she's a women. It is sexist, but not misogyny. She's confusing the two. It is, however, misandry, which is the other side of sexism -- which is itself just one of the many forms discrimination in general can take. I suggest seeing if she knows the difference between the three, rather than simply challenging her definition of sexism.	/r/MensRights	30/08/12 01:03 AM
2	Why MRAs Should Be Pro-Choice: If only rape victims are allowed abortions, false accusations will skyrocket. I see -- really, you're layering one additional danger on top of another. If abortion is fine, then it's not only bad to outlaw or restrict it; it also can lead to additional nonsensical restrictions. You're not simply pro-choice because of possible secondary consequences; that's just yet another reason.	/r/MensRights	29/08/12 04:12 AM
1	All-men-are-rapists propaganda from big media Well, I agree. But what does that mean? Does it mean it's even more realistic and believable to accuse someone of lying, since it's much easier to do? Or that it should be easier to deflect/disprove a rape accusation since it's so much more difficult? It's hard to know even how to apply your comment. So, what did you really mean?	/r/MensRights	29/08/12 01:56 AM
3	Why MRAs Should Be Pro-Choice: If only rape victims are allowed abortions, false accusations will skyrocket. Wait...are you saying you really only allow abortions because you're afraid that outlawing it might lead to additional restrictions on birth control? That's like saying you're against anything less than full life sentences for all prisoners, because the minute we start shortening any sentences, they may get too short. So mandatory life sentences for all. If an action is okay, then it's okay. If it's wrong, it's wrong. But we shouldn't allow things we believe are wrong out of fear the outlawing o…	/r/MensRights	29/08/12 01:26 AM
4	Why MRAs Should Be Pro-Choice: If only rape victims are allowed abortions, false accusations will skyrocket. Actually, your first sentence is the whole issue. If a fetus does "count" as a child, then your own argument turns over on itself. Otherwise, we could say: "Parents/mother can't circumcise a child without the child's consent, but the mother can kill the child without the child's consent." So you see, your point all hangs on the first sentence.	/r/MensRights	29/08/12 01:18 AM
0	Why MRAs Should Be Pro-Choice: If only rape victims are allowed abortions, false accusations will skyrocket. I read one study/analysis of the data on this (can't remember where) that showed how the popularization of penicillin and other improved general medical practices (even outside hospitals and so forth) caused medical procedures to be far less risky...around the same time that Roe vs. Wade passed. Therefore, it's actually not necessarily true that most of these medical problems happened as a result of abortion being illegal, but rather of known medicinal science being weaker and immature at that t…	/r/MensRights	29/08/12 01:16 AM
1	Why MRAs Should Be Pro-Choice: If only rape victims are allowed abortions, false accusations will skyrocket. Regarding the actual point made by the OP: (1) False accusations may indeed skyrocket, but most rapes are made by someone who knows the victim. (2) This makes identifying the alleged rapist extremely easy, and DNA testing can be a requirement for all "known rapist" rapes. (3) DNA testing auto-clears anyone who would be accused. (4) One of the penalties for a known-false-rape accusation is that the cost of the DNA testing falls on the false accuser. (5) This will never happen to a woman who actua…	/r/MensRights	29/08/12 01:11 AM
28	All-men-are-rapists propaganda from big media There is a not-so-subtle thread woven through the article that it is typical of men to commit rape, but not typical for women to lie. So somehow, accusing a man of rape is fine, but accusing a woman of lying is wrong.	/r/MensRights	25/08/12 05:02 PM
3	Germany bans circumcision, ruling that “the fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighs the fundamental rights of the parents.” You know, it would be interesting to look at this through the lens of pro-choice/pro-life arguments on abortion: "If you make abortion (circumcision) illegal the mother (parents) will just be forced to do it themselves in secret, with much greater potential risk." And so forth. Feel free to plug in your own other argument comparisons.	/r/MensRights	02/08/12 03:24 AM
1	Here's one aspect of the sexuality double-standard focused on less often... Thanks, I'll do that.	/r/MensRights	27/07/12 08:52 PM
2	When moms kill their children I definitely think this is relevant to MensRights because it shows that we "expect more" from mothers/women than we do from fathers/men. e.g. "Women are good mommies! Men are evil abusive killers! So it's not surprising if a twisted, violent man kills his kids. Men do that kind of thing, but women just don't." Reminds me of the fact that women are likely to be found "in need of mental help" when they kill their own children. Men, on the other hand, are simply condemned as evil violent killers. I…	/r/MensRights	26/07/12 03:31 AM
