| 40 | Deluded men's rights activists are conspiracy nutjobs – don't believe a word they sayIf you’re in a privileged position and you start moaning about how hard you have it, you look like a crybaby. And yet on social media, I see this all the time, largely from groups and individuals who term themselves “Men’s Rights Activists”. What’s the betting that after identifying MRAs, all the examples he gives are from Return of Kings, PUAs and TERPers? Witness the misogynistic howls over the latest Ghostbusters film … As one men’s blogger wrote, … Oh, look a link RoK … who saw that coming? … | /r/MensRights | 23/05/16 10:48 AM |
| 7 | Rape culture is real. But before you downvote, please read my post first.When I was younger, there was a story doing the rounds about a shoe factory. It was about a young guy of about 16 in his first job after leaving high school (for a long time, it was normal in the UK to leave at 16 not 18) - he was good-looking, but painfully shy and not very bright. He started out in the section where mostly women worked and day after day they would make crude sexual remarks about and to him (of the ‘I wouldn’t mind his balls banging against my ass’ variety) - mostly this was ju… | /r/MensRights | 23/05/16 07:52 AM |

In Coakley’s telling, Monahan was a local boy she was in a relationship with, who then sprung a trap on her at a UVA frat party that resulted in gang rape. But a police investigation was unable to establish that Monahan even existed, and instead “he” appears to have been an invention of Co… | /r/MensRights | 22/05/16 10:29 PM |

I don’t know why this is so hard to grasp - the average IQ for the whole population in the UK is 100 with deviation between 85 and 115. If you accept - and fair enough if you don’t, but I do - that university students are at least of above average intelligence as according to the sources I quoted early on, then the university student population are only those with an average of 120+.

| 1 | "Women are better listeners than men ... According to Dr. Susan Sherwood, this is a result of women being more discussion oriented and men wanting to just take action."Fair enough (I’m in Europe so it’s day-time and I’ve only worked a half day today as it’s Saturday). Anyway, the general consensus is that women as a whole are on average better at learning languages than men see e.g. here and here. That doesn’t mean no men can learn foreign languages or that all women have a natural flair for it, but it does run a bit counter to your experience. That said, just because something is the consensus view doesn’t necessarily mean it’s absolutely correct. | /r/MGTOW | 21/05/16 12:26 PM |

I’m guessing they’ve included it under more intentional attempts to poison themselves on the grounds that kids that age aren’t supposed to be using alcohol in the first place. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/16 02:29 PM |

And this is not a new thing and neither is it something that can only be pinned on some Feminists. This is a core tenet of Feminism and has been since the early 1970s - if any Feminist you meet scoffs as this and says ‘Oh no, that’s not real Feminism’ they’re either lying or ignorant.
