1	Is it possible to be both a masculist and a feminist? I'm not going to debate this any further. I don't think it's an argument I can win. I believe gender roles as restrictive. Saying a man is inherently incapable of caring for a child or a woman is inherently unfit for authority is, in my opinion, utterly false. I support any movement that fights against these assumptions. I agree with many of the aims of feminism. However, I believe that as women draw closer to achieving equality, it has become more obvious that issues preventing male equality ha…	/r/MensRights	27/03/12 09:30 PM
1	Is it possible to be both a masculist and a feminist? This is getting tedious. Please read what I am saying rather than attacking each point individually. I think you are missing my point. Let's start again. Let's agree society evolved the way it did because of "the environment, efficiency and the needs to survival". Let's pretend we don't have a word for that society. Forget "patriarchy", scribble it out of your vocabulary if it's so offensive. So, there's this nameless society in which men are expected to behave one way, women another. No "bullsh…	/r/MensRights	27/03/12 06:04 PM
1	Is it possible to be both a masculist and a feminist? Feminists tend to be the least educated in actual history. Actually, the separation of the genders in the workplace was historically less pronounced than you seem to think. For centuries, very few women didn't work when their husbands did. It really comes down to class. Nobility and landed gentry: neither males nor females worked. The middle classes - a relatively small proportion of society until the technological innovations of the twentieth century - men worked in office jobs such as lawyers,…	/r/MensRights	27/03/12 10:14 AM
3	Is it possible to be both a masculist and a feminist? dangerpantz is explaining the phrase "patriarchy", in its historical context. The only opinion s/he gives of this system recognises that it made "men worse off as well as women". Cultures can be organised into matriarchies, in which women are the holders of property, or patriarchies, in which males are. Western society has evolved from a patriarchal system. This is a fact. Stating this fact is not an attack on you, nor is it negating the issue of male expendability. Our historically patriarchal …	/r/MensRights	25/03/12 02:55 AM
3	Worlds first female president worries about feminist extremists! The only way for the so called 'good feminists' can stop 'bad feminists' harming the reputation of women as a whole is to call them out and fight them, and let everyone watching see that happening. So go to it. As far as I see it, MRA are "good feminists", in that they want gender equality and equal opportunity. If "good feminism" is aligned with the issues that the MRM are concerned with, and these two groups were to come together under the banner of "equalists", shouldn't it be up to MRA and f…	/r/MensRights	25/03/12 02:30 AM
25	When my friend said this to me, I thought she was joking. She was completely serious. This double-standard is what's so sickening in this kind of thinking. Some women think they deserve the benefits of the system whilst still blaming men for taking part in it.	/r/MensRights	22/03/12 09:22 PM
1	2X discussion about alimony reform is surprising, worth checking out If you want discussion, try r/SRSDiscussion. You might not agree with they have to say, but they generally are willing to have an adult conversation.	/r/MensRights	21/03/12 08:32 PM
6	Hey MensRights, mind vetting my argument for me? Mine is the hidden response to the top comment. Let's not pretend she's not having the abortion for emotional reasons, please. She wants a baby and she's willing to circumvent his free will to get it, plain and simple. Firstly, you consistently make assumptions about the OP, her choices and her lifestyle that simply cannot be supported by what's written in her post. You're constructing a strawman to derail the argument, demonize the OP and generally undermine any valid points you make. She's already made the decision to trap him in this is fo…	/r/MensRights	19/03/12 11:36 AM

5	Dear MRA's : Stop Being Angry. I... I think you might have missed the point.	/r/MensRights	15/03/12 12:02 PM
2	Two car insurance quotes in Canada. One is for a man, the other is for a woman. Can you guess which one is which? (All other fields were filled out identically) Baring this in mind, my sister and I once got insurance quotes from a price comparison website. All fields were the same, except the first name. She has quite a classical name, whereas mine's a little bit more unusual and has an alternative spelling. My quote was about £40 more expensive than hers. Clearly, for insurers, having a "ghetto" name means you should pay more too.	/r/MensRights	15/03/12 09:00 AM
8	Women of MR: happy womens day I consider myself both a MRA and a feminist. I think the aims of these movements overlap and gender equality is beneficial for all. Surely, therefore, I am a feminist who "attempts to address these severe inequalities". Generalising and demonizing feminists (male of female) hurts equality too.	/r/MensRights	09/03/12 05:40 PM
