3	men feel less judged by other men? lets judge em for that "Sounds like fragile masculinity to us. And having an intimate relationship with a male friend may not have positive effects all around." Really? Openness and brotherhood are symptoms of fragile masculinity? Really, really now? Because it sounds to me like certain gate keeping journalists should develop their own hobbies and learn to stop policing everything people do based off of what's between their legs. It goes to show how little they know about the values they claim to hold. You can't take …	/r/MensRights	13/05/18 06:01 AM
3	New research finds that boys with a playful disposition in kindergarten are viewed as rebellious and disruptive by teachers, as opposed to playful girls who are not labeled this way. Hey bud, no problem! I'm just another poor guy next door myself. I can't say I don't have my own cringeworthy moments. I've come to realize the older I get, the more sure I am about some things and the less I really know about the rest. I just try and do better each day to be me and not let the horseshit we've been led to swim in overtake me. It sure seems like you've been through far more than I have and still come out fighting.	/r/MensRights	07/04/18 04:53 AM
3	New research finds that boys with a playful disposition in kindergarten are viewed as rebellious and disruptive by teachers, as opposed to playful girls who are not labeled this way. It's difficult but doable for me not to hate people in general. I won't let it eat up my hopes and joy. But I don't blame you for having those feelings. We just grew up in an odd time in history, where being a guy and having deep feelings was still a disgusting thing in the eyes of most people, while on the other side, the most firebrand feminists were chewing us to pieces over how privileged and oppressive we were. "Nut up and be a man, you wuss! But don't be a tool of the patriarchy, jerk!" is…	/r/MensRights	07/04/18 04:17 AM
11	New research finds that boys with a playful disposition in kindergarten are viewed as rebellious and disruptive by teachers, as opposed to playful girls who are not labeled this way. Which is a lose-lose situation when you consider that even boys like me, who happened to be somewhat sensitive and took a liking to "girly" things just as much as I enjoyed toy trucks and basketball during elementary school, were never spared the slightest sympathy from teachers. And it's worth mentioning that many of them were also outwardly homophobic in the public schools I attended. I can still remember a preschool teacher embarrassing me constantly while I played house with the girls in my …	/r/MensRights	06/04/18 08:44 PM
3	Why raising my son's made me question what female empowerment is doing to boys: A passionate feminist, Michelle was determined Fin would share her values. But gradually she realised this wasn't in HIS interests Don't take this as a personal attack, it's not an attack at all I won't since we know very, very little about each other. I'll admit it's hard not to when you say things like I gave mom all the credit, when I clearly didn't, or that dad is a passing mention, then you stop just shy of saying I'm thankless to my own father. Your responses seem to ignore the context of describing my upbringing give off a lot of assumptive, reductionist vibes. But I respect that you feel fathers need more credit. Th…	/r/MensRights	29/03/18 08:30 PM
0	Why raising my son's made me question what female empowerment is doing to boys: A passionate feminist, Michelle was determined Fin would share her values. But gradually she realised this wasn't in HIS interests Goddamn are you assumptive. You could've asked the same thing in reverse: "So what, is your mother some flighty, fickle-minded jerk or something? Why not give her some credit instead of giving dad a trophy for being aound. Way to leave her out." I'll critique mindless feminism just for the sake of feminism all day long, but here you are jumping right into policing my language like they would. This sub is so bitter.	/r/MensRights	29/03/18 06:59 PM
1	Why raising my son's made me question what female empowerment is doing to boys: A passionate feminist, Michelle was determined Fin would share her values. But gradually she realised this wasn't in HIS interests No. I meant ever-present in my life. If it's not worth mentioning that the women in my family are independent and intelligent then why are you concerned what makes my dad so involved in my life? He just is. And they are those things–even beyond the family role. Why does that have to be seen as some suspicious, involuntary shout out to girl power? I'm pointing out what a healthy balance of people were there to help raise me without acting like self-involved narcissists. I'm sorry I didn't pass yo…	/r/MensRights	29/03/18 06:34 PM
3	Why raising my son's made me question what female empowerment is doing to boys: A passionate feminist, Michelle was determined Fin would share her values. But gradually she realised this wasn't in HIS interests The upshot is that every woman posting, whether she claimed to have sons or not, was eager to sacrifice her sons on the altar of her daughter's supposed self esteem. I wonder how much of that is the need to live vicariously through a daughter. It fits pretty sensibly into the bigger picture of a neofeminist culture that encourages narcissism at absurd levels. It was not just that the women knew nothing about how well their sons were doing, they did not want to know, you could not tell them, they…	/r/MensRights	29/03/18 05:38 PM
2	Feminists are cancer Modern feminism, for sure. But also, people of all types do be saying some crazy, nonsensical shit that isn't with your time.	/r/PussyPass	23/09/17 07:43 PM
43	Oh silly me. I thought she had raped him. With him being 11 and all. Plus the fact that FOUR YEARS of it was "accruing" while he himself was a minor. I don't need anyone to convince me the courts are de facto punishing centers for males.	/r/MensRights	28/06/17 05:06 PM
105	Oh silly me. I thought she had raped him. With him being 11 and all. He said he panicked, ignored the legal documents and never got the required paternity test. The state eventually tracked him down. Olivas said he owes about $15,000 in back child support and medical bills going back to the child's birth, plus 10 percent interest. The state seized money from his bank account and is garnisheeing his wages at $380 a month. All of this happening to a victim of child rape, without ever knowing he was a father for 8 years. No big deal, guys, right? I guess western soc…	/r/MensRights	28/06/17 05:02 PM
1	Picking up babies without their permission will turn them into rapists I understand your sentiment, but I highly doubt this weirdo is representative of most women even in the first world.	/r/MensRights	18/06/17 02:00 AM
3	Picking up babies without their permission will turn them into rapists There's equality to fight for, I'm sure. It just doesn't look like this. This is a petulant, irrational distraction.	/r/MensRights	18/06/17 01:42 AM
8	Manspreading Buzzwords that can fuck off and stop wasting my time: -Manspreading -Cultural appropriation -"x"-splaining (gotta be the most backhandedly hypocritical social phenomenon today. "We need social dialogue about 'x' as a problem," followed by, "No-no-no. You're just 'x'-splaining that way because you're 'x.' Let me lecture you instead, since you can't possibly have non-oppressive opinions. See? Dialogue!") -Micro aggression (not entirely unsound in concept, except usually disastrous when used in rea…	/r/MensRights	18/06/17 01:36 AM
5	Manspreading I was stuck in college with these Disney Princess types for years. They're immature and the absolute worst. Especially to one another. They're every bit as bad as the blank-palate douche-bros who make terrible life choices and think they have something to prove by shitting on other men. If I sound harsh, that's because it's true.	/r/MensRights	18/06/17 01:12 AM
4	Manspreading Tfw immune to this metastasizing cancerous bullshit because I'm a five on the Kinsey Scale. I know this sounds awful, but reading these makes me feel sorry for modern straight men. I honestly do not comprehend how they deal with it. I am very grateful that female empowerment exists for the women in my life–but it sure as hell doesn't look like this. Something in the back of my head always told me being picked on for being too gay in middle school would pay off someday.	/r/MensRights	18/06/17 01:06 AM

2	Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap" such as the increased threat of sexual violence perpetrated against women, or the increased danger of male suicide promoted through a lack of mental health support. Both extremely important and continuous social maladies which need to be addressed... that unfortunately act as entirely tangential issues at best in this case. Equality does not simply mean treating everyone the same. It's about acknowledging and understanding peoples unique struggles and strengths and enabling them to overcome Exac…	/r/MensRights	18/04/17 07:33 PM
2	Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap" At a certain point both boys and girls need to know how to appropriately treat each other with respect. Yeah! By teaching separate but equal, guys!	/r/MensRights	18/04/17 07:12 PM
3	Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap" She also said her "hell freezing over" remark was "a casual, off-record aside meant to convey my frustration with the marketing to girls in our society." She said that it was "not appropriate" and "taken out of context." Whatever, bitch. You seem more angry with unsuspecting children than systemic sexism in marketing. Go take it out on Mattel, you vindictive ass. I'm sorry, I usually try to put a great deal of effort into seeing things from the perspective of someone from the opposite gender, es…	/r/MensRights	18/04/17 06:55 PM
