2	Imagine the amount of pitchforks if it was the other way round, but people are making excuses for her instead Looks like back entrance to Casey Moore’s in Tempe, AZ. Not surprised, lots of trashy people drink way too much there. Don’t normally see this kinda shit during broad daylight, though.	/r/MensRights	30/01/19 02:15 AM
1	UK: 'Do you want men to be weak spineless sobbing wrecks?' Piers Morgan slams Gillette's new #MeToo-inspired ad and says brand has gone from 'celebrating fabulous masculine qualities' to 'portraying them as evil' Portraying men as potential peacekeepers for a better world for everyone* you men with daughters love the trope of "knowing what boys want" and shit, you already feed into the narrative that men are shit. Men commit 80% of the world's violent crime, its disproportional to an obscene extreme. OK, I misunderstood your statement. My bad. This advertisement is the same kind of patronizing bullshit that would be considered offensive if it were about female stereotypes.	/r/MensRights	17/01/19 12:20 AM
2	UK: 'Do you want men to be weak spineless sobbing wrecks?' Piers Morgan slams Gillette's new #MeToo-inspired ad and says brand has gone from 'celebrating fabulous masculine qualities' to 'portraying them as evil' aggravated assault (firearms, weapons, sexual assault of a minor, etc.) is less than 25% of violent crimes. So the argument is still valid over 75% of the time. In this thread you say that the 50% of violent crimes due attributed to Black Americans are due to poverty. OK, throw that out, and you basically have damned close to 60/40 to a 50/50 split of Men/Women for committing violent crimes. More than 55% of children's murders are committed by mothers, and the majority of those mothers are singl…	/r/MensRights	16/01/19 04:33 PM
2	UK: 'Do you want men to be weak spineless sobbing wrecks?' Piers Morgan slams Gillette's new #MeToo-inspired ad and says brand has gone from 'celebrating fabulous masculine qualities' to 'portraying them as evil' Threat of force doesn't mean much when I am 2-3x bigger than you. Violent crimes require a threat of force. Not sure how you don't seem to understand that the statistics will inherently lean towards the group that has a more credible threat of force. The bottom quartile of men in regard to physical strength are still stronger than the upper quartile of women. Coincidentally, women are more likely to commit violent crimes against children than men are. Perhaps, just maybe, men and women aren't al…	/r/MensRights	16/01/19 05:31 AM
13	UK: 'Do you want men to be weak spineless sobbing wrecks?' Piers Morgan slams Gillette's new #MeToo-inspired ad and says brand has gone from 'celebrating fabulous masculine qualities' to 'portraying them as evil' Just to be clear, the 50% of the population that is significantly physically stronger than the other is responsible for 80% of the crime where physical strength is a key component?	/r/MensRights	15/01/19 03:08 PM
1	Senator, this is a troubling message that excludes and diminishes half the population of the young people in America. I strongly encourage you re-evaluate your priorities on this. If you're in the U.S. and you think that phrase is an accurate representation of anything you are literally living in the past. The future has already come. That was accurate back when women barely had the right to vote and weren't really allowed to hold any jobs. It was still accurate into the 80s and 90s, but the "revolution" already happened. That is not the world anyone more after 1980 lives in. Maybe in older institutions still run by out of touch baby boomers this phrase is still accurate.…	/r/MensRights	05/12/18 10:52 PM
1	Pay gap hysteria- the results are in! "Pay Gap" is a bad way of describing these things. It implies that men and women are paid differently for the same work. This basically doesn't exist if you were born after 1980. The last vestiges of gender workplace inequality really only exist in the lives of people who were born earlier (in The U.S. at least) and did not have the same opportunities that my generation of women had. This is a pronounced "Income Gap" between men and women based on career choices for people my age. Somehow all th…	/r/MensRights	01/12/18 05:52 AM
1	Kavanaugh accuser Judy Munro-Leighton admits she lied. Should we still believe all women? Brett Kavanaugh is not the hill to die on in the fight for Men’s rights. This article does not refer to Dr. Ford, the accuser who’s public debate committee testimony was aired live on national TV. Certainly it is a problem when someone claims to be the author of an anonymous accusation and there needs to be a culture of accepting “innocent until proven guilty”, but given the horrible political machinations associated with Kavanaugh, I would stay very far away from using anything related to him a…	/r/MensRights	03/11/18 03:02 PM
4	New Doctor Who Trailer Cant Resist Virtue Signalling Feminism Dr. Who changes bodies all the time, this really shouldn't matter. Also the "It's about Time" line is a cheeky play on words which fits in with it being a British show. Of all the Sci-Fi shows to swap genders of the protagonist, literally there isn't a more fitting one than Dr. Who.	/r/MensRights	23/09/18 12:21 AM
5	Why women should keep paying the tampon tax \| Short answer: because they are the biggest net recipients of tax money, including that raised on tampons Hygienic products, medication, first aid kits and components, and groceries should probably not be taxed in general. Don’t let your frustration with the messaging take away from the foundation of the argument: we should not tax hygienic products.	/r/MensRights	19/06/18 04:03 PM
4	“Family Restroom” Heh, almost wonder if that was the real intention of that law. Fuck it, all bathrooms are unisex.	/r/MensRights	10/05/18 09:30 PM
-1	“Family Restroom” So the distribution of bathroom facilities does not line up with the sex distribution of your work environment. There are lots of factors that you haven’t accounted for. Is the employee distribution equal between sexes? Do men take the same amount of time as women at your office? You’ve only described a peak demand issue, which is really hard and expensive to fix. It does not sound like there’s been any preference in your facilities.	/r/MensRights	10/05/18 09:26 PM
48	"To me, Dunkirk felt like an excuse for men to celebrate maleness—which apparently they don't get to do enough" \| Whining feminist asks why director Nolan didn't make a movie about women in World War II instead. Great writing in that article: "...I understand that this war was dominated by brave male soldiers. I get that. But the packaging of the film..." Followed by "If it was one of your friends, it would be the one who starts his sentences with 'I get what you're saying, but...'" Jesus, the writer explained how the movie was stupid in a way that also could be used to describe themselves as being stupid.	/r/MensRights	30/07/17 09:41 AM

Gah, do people not get their kids hobbies anymore? Hobbies = time for adult naps.	/r/MensRights	07/06/11 03:30 AM
-3	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV I've played your game enough here. http://www.doingbusiness.org/rankings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzQmdTt5dPQ The growth rates of HIV outside of the epicenter of the disease have been lower in countries with high circumcision rates. Even Rwanda, which has a somewhat lower infection rate than it's neighboring countries suffering from epidemics still has a high infection rate, but was the first country to step up with HIV prevention, and has massive amounts of funding going into free IRVs an…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 06:59 PM
0	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV Circumcision was linked to higher numbers of sexual partners in your linked papers. You're just grasping at straws with that argument. I agree about circumcision being ethically wrong, under normal circumstances. Also, you keep asking for information that is VERY difficult to get reliably in the U.S. or even Europe. Self reporting of any sexual information is highly suspect in general (taboo in most cultures).	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 06:45 PM
0	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV I'm tired of bring you more and more citations. You have already chosen your result and have ignored all other information that does not fit with that conclusion (or you think is unrelated). If you were interested in learning anything you would look up the CCR5 and CCRX4 receptors (google european HIV receptors), you are only interested in defending your clearly ignorant and wrong conclusions. The worst part is, I'm not even a proponent of circumcision, but I still see one situation where it isn…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 06:34 PM
1	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV What you said does not make any sense... 40% the risk of infection is still positive, not negative. All it could do is mean that overall lower infection rates amongst the population and slow spreading. I'v already addressed that particular study in other posts.	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 06:23 PM
0	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV I'm done, you don't understand the science, Africa, HIV testing, or how academic research works. You have 0 background in any of this and question the obvious, simple, and don't offer any logical analysis. You do not understand what the word "rate" means.	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 06:11 PM
-3	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV What do you think that 60% reduce risk of infection of HIV in circumcised men would look like if it were working? If you chart the circumcision rate, vs HIV prevalence, vs distance to the origination of HIV location, you will find overall lower HIV infection rates. But that in itself is too simple a model, but it does trend AGAINST your argument. What do you think 60% less risk of infection would look like? I think it looks pretty similar to what I just described.	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 12:32 PM
-3	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV 2 years, with testing done at 1,3,6,9,12,18,24 months. The trial was replicated over the course of 4 years in S. Africa and Uganda. HIV was more prevalent amongst circumcised men in countries that have had longer exposure, more poverty, and less prevention methods. HIV was overall more prevalent in countries where circumcision rates were lower. HIV rates were lower in countries where circumcision rates were higher. The only countries that were not like this were Cameroon, where HIV originated, a…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 12:22 PM
-1	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV You have misrepresented evidence that your lack of authority/experience on the subject matter does not allow you to properly analyze. You have not provided proof that your argument is correct, and I have finally addressed your 6 country long list in 2 other posts. You state your research is evidence, when actually I can interpret your sources + add more information from my expertise, and show a completely different conclusion (That is nearer to the truth but has some holes remaining) You keep as…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 12:09 PM
-4	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV The major problem is that this 4 year study (that was cut short because the evidence was so clear, to prevent harm to uncircumcised subjects), was not a "shoddy" study. Most of the other research you have presented does not contain the depth of information of the Uganda/Kenya/S. Africa circumcision study, and cannot be used to interpret your conclusion. And see my other post where you could more easily say that infection rates are overall lower in countries with higher circumcision rates. Except…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 11:53 AM
-2	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV My authority is from working in Africa (not as an AID worker), and studying African Development, having African family (and thus more personal knowledge of tribal taboo topics at least with Ghanian tribes), all of which back the claim of saying that those countries are harder to get accurate data from, and less reliable to work with. All of this is also very clear if you actually read about Africa in any major international publication. You're clear lack of experience and not describing your bac…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 11:42 AM
-5	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV Ok, I'm going to go through this: Cameroon is largely considered (blood exposure to SIV from bush hunting being the most legitimate theory) where HIV started, so infection rates will be the highest there. We pretty much have to eliminate that as one of your countries off the bat. Ghana has the lowest HIV infection rate of any Sub Saharan African country, with the highest (second highest?) circumcision rate. Lesotho, which has one of the HIGHEST HIV infection rates has one of the lowest circumcis…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 11:32 AM
-4	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV One major thing I see with that study, is it was a 4 month questionnaire/blood testing while the circumcision study was a 4 year study. I don't know how familiar you are with HIV/HSV2 testing, but it can take 6 months for the presence of those viruses to appear for testing purposes. Simply put, that study did not (and could not) collect data on the population's infection rate at the beginning and end of the study (4 months isn't enough time for that). It essentially is looking at one instance in…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 11:21 AM
-3	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV Look up "co-factor." The studies you have referenced only contain aggregate population data, they did not collect the data necessary to come to your conclusions. The effects of reduce risk of infection would be SLOWER growth rates of HIV, not 60% less HIV overall. Cameroon is largely established as the most likely place for the origination of HIV (through eating bush meat which can entail simian blood exposure). Vectors for spreading the disease will of course be based on human interactions (tra…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 11:06 AM
-2	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV You need to look up logical fallacy. Appealing to authority, or experience is not a logical fallacy. Saying that circumcision does not reduce risk of infection by 60% vs uncircumcised males because there are populations of circumcised men in Africa with HIV IS a logical fallacy.	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 10:56 AM
-7	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV Circumcision reduces the risk of transmission by 60% in males. That is all the study said. Circumcision, in addition to education programs, condom availability, and reducing poverty will have more of an effect on reducing HIV prevalence than education programs, condom availability, and reducing poverty on their own. My reference to vaccines was about the vaccines cause autism scare that was not medically backed, but had exceptionally similar "research" to your own, and has resulted in the unnece…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 10:45 AM
-1	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV The studies your offer do not back your claims. Period. End of story. You are not interpreting the data correctly. You make extreme assumptions about the reliability and depth of the data collected which does not actually support your claims. You are not capable of understanding this complex of an issue and are using your bias against circumcision to dream up some conspiracy theory.	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 10:35 AM
-4	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV You have ignored every counter argument I've made. You are spreading dangerous interpretation without any credible hypothesis. You have no scientific, HIV-related, or African experience. Your crusade against circumcision could be as dangerous as recent crusades against infant vaccines.	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 09:49 AM
-2	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV You did not ask a single question in that post. They were all rhetorical statements.	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 09:38 AM
-4	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV No, you have hand picked data, that came to conclusions based on a personal belief against circumcision (which, I actually don't disagree with). But that belief, and spreading false interpretation (bad science) can foster distrust in something that can actually save lives. The data you cite cannot reasonably describe a situation where circumcision does NOT reduce transmission rates to men by 60%. Ghana is a great example though... under 3.1% HIV infection rate, 95% circumcision rate. That's pret…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 09:28 AM
-3	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV I have actually lived and worked in Africa, at best there may be a World Bank report on doing business in Africa that shows how unreliable and difficult it is to work in these countries. Have you spent any time in Africa? Do you know how taboo sex topics are and how that varies from tribe to tribe? Do you have African family? You're just trolling with poor rhetoric and an obvious lack of scientific understanding or any experience in Africa.	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 09:18 AM
-3	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV There is no data to suggest that Circumcised or Uncircumcised men are have the same number of partners in those other countries. The only study to really address this at all, was the Kenyan one (there may have been a similar study in Uganda as well?), hence why that information is so valuable. And you have to break down those aggregate results to age-based, and the presence HIV prevention programs (S. Africa avoided these a lot in the past). Villages (which can be tens of thousands of people in …	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 09:05 AM
0	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV It's pretty much unnecessary, there is no real benefit to circumcision (as far as I can tell, only negative impacts to one's life). Except where HIV prevalence is high or significantly impairing the affected, and cost/benefits of other methods don't come anywhere near the reduction rate of male circumcision. I've have a colleague (he worked for Gates Foundation, basically researching why their aid projects did NOT work) who worked in Africa and were asked by locals to show how to put on a condom…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 08:53 AM

-3	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV You don't get it. Unprotected sex circumcised is 60% less likely to contract HIV than uncircumcised. You can still contract it if you expose yourself to that risk (albeit reduced risk) multiple times. A randomized study, with control groups, showed that circumcision had a real effect in reducing transmission.	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 08:25 AM

-2	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV I'm not going to cite something that anyone who has ever worked in/lived in Africa, has any experience with research in Africa, or even reads the economist or NYT/WSJ would know. It's common knowledge amongst anyone who's studied Africa at all (as in anyone who could possibly add to this discourse), that Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, and Kenya are extremely reliable countries to work with in comparison to almost all other African Nations (Outside S.

-6	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV That was the study that during Phase I got shut down because the results were so good that to continue the trials posed a significant risk to control groups (uncircumcised men) in the HIV prevalent regions. I can't access my University proxy for the original study links right now, but the WHO recommendations were based on that.

-5	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV This site is truly awful, looking at the actual references, most of the countries with higher rates are both harder to conduct accurate studies in and exceptionally poor (Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Malawi). They have overall higher rates, but places where accurate data is easier to get, circumcised males have lower infection rates. This research cited, also doesn't avg. number of partners in those studies broken down by circumcision status. Contracting HIV with 100 partners circumcised, is quite differe…	/r/MensRights	29/05/11 07:15 AM
-2	Where Circumcision Doesn't Prevent HIV So a controlled study of circumsizing males from one ethnic/religious/economic group shows reduced infection rates... that much be wrong. But comparing a bunch of studies that take existing conditions of circumcision, but not population centers, tribes, or religion proves it doesn't work? Ghana has extremely low HIV infection rates, due to their culture, but 95% circumcision rates, uncircumcised Ghanaians tend to live in the far north where there is little contact outside of their village...
