1	Is rape as traumatizing for men as it is for women? Yes, they are comparable you nasty rape apologist. You don't have a penis, so how would you know how painful it is to have your penis forcefully manipulated?	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/10/16 05:31 AM
2	@jessphillips a female MP in the uk parliament laughed at mens issues When I use the word "feminists," I don't mean all feminists or even necessarily most feminists. I do think the "feminist element" against male rape victims was and is rather large, especially within radical feminism. But of course I know that not every feminist is dismissive of male rape victims. In fact, I hope more feminists get on board with what Rumeny and Cohen are saying. But I also want feminists to acknowledge their troubled history with male rape victims, the same way many contemporary …	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/15 09:47 PM
2	@jessphillips a female MP in the uk parliament laughed at mens issues What I'm questioning is the existence of a "Feminist Authority" though There is not such thing as a "Feminist Authority." You were the one to introduce that term, not me. It's disingenuous of you to put that term in my mouth and then object to the use of the term. Claire Cohen wrote a whole book on male rape last year titled Male Rape is a Feminist Issue You can't be serious. Have you even read Cohen's book? She spends a significant time arguing with the exact radical feminists that I am talking…	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/15 07:27 PM
5	@jessphillips a female MP in the uk parliament laughed at mens issues The fact that women have tried to create gender equality at work means that men can rely on women for income generation. It's just that most men are more likely to earn more money and so women are more likely to stay at home if they need to take care of a kid. That doesn't have anything to do with social and cultural norms, which do not always follow from the current economic situation in society. Many women still look for and expect a man to fulfill a traditional "provider" type role, even if t…	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/15 02:51 AM
2	@jessphillips a female MP in the uk parliament laughed at mens issues Why not? There are international days for everything. Hell, November 19 is also International Toilet Day (which always leads to predictable jokes about men and shit every year). Considering pressing male issues like mental and physical health problems, suicide, and male rape, I don't understand the fierce objections to the idea of having a day which organizations that are fighting these issues can organize around to raise awareness.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/10/15 11:40 PM
5	@jessphillips a female MP in the uk parliament laughed at mens issues Feminists have made all sorts of different arguments against gender-neutral rape laws (laws which recognize male victims and female perpetrators) over the years. If you want a good summary of their arguments, I would recommend Philip N.S. Rumney's article in the Seattle Journal for Social Justice entitled "In Defense of Gender Neutrality Within Rape." As the title implies, Rumney is critiquing these arguments, and therefore his take on them is going to be somewhat biased. But he fully cites all …	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/10/15 10:59 PM
4	@jessphillips a female MP in the uk parliament laughed at mens issues The idea is to discuss issues that men face in society. Unless you're arguing that the majority of politicians being male means that men have no serious issues, than that's really not relevant.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/10/15 10:26 PM
5	@jessphillips a female MP in the uk parliament laughed at mens issues The entire problem of suicide is the ethos of stoic endurance (TRP Perpetuates it too) no matter the issue which leads to isolation and break down. Men with mental illness are seen as weak and so men who are ill don't seek help. Added stress to provide is something women are fighting. I'm sorry, but women are collectively fighting against the perception that a man needs to be a provider? How? When? From what I've seen, both men and women continue to uphold these gender roles for men. Rape - Even…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/10/15 10:20 PM
