| 1 | XKCD and Narrow Perception of the MRMWell, twitter. Apart from being hard to look into today it's on the edge of being a chat platform. Some people having an oppinion or expresing concern on a chat platform is hardly a controversy. Is the part about hair and appropriation something larger? | /r/MensRights | 05/02/14 12:26 PM |
| 0 | XKCD and Narrow Perception of the MRMYes, I do get the joke and maintain that it is a rape joke as it makes light of rape. You might want to use a different definition if you want to catalogize jokes or similar but that's splitting hairs and leading nowhere. My orgignal point was that you cannot really compare a slice-of-life webcomic that tries to portray different lifestyles in a positive light with the deliberate dark humor and snark of penny arcade, especially when they go overboard. | /r/MensRights | 05/02/14 11:25 AM |

| 1 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"Alright, thank you, this has been very helpfull. I guess people thought it wasn't difficult to communicate these ideas before, so they added an extra hurdle. It's more of a battle to have some non-insulting terms which precludes those by a lot of older medical profesionals, especially when taken out of context. I'll just wait for the first bigot who trows merriam webster and some ill-understood medical study at me in order to call me a man because "it's science".. Thank you all the same though. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/13 02:06 AM |
| 1 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"I took that difference just based the definitions of the words, Ok, can you provide links, please? I've never seen transsexual defined in a way that it required surgery outside of really barebones dictionaries. (unless the culture is so extreme that they perform surgery to further distinguish the sexes). That is the sad truth about a lot of intersexual babies. | /r/MensRights | 10/12/13 06:52 PM |
| 1 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"That awkward truth is that the behavior is both born and learned because the brain is a complex organ. That makes it harder to make the distinction between gender and sex, but is useful for the "social construct" argument since social pressure would only relate to learned behaviors. I agree with this. It can be hard do differentiate learned and inborn behaviour and I would suggest that the brain is a sex organg insofar as it relates heavily to breeding (esp. the case for homosexual and transgend… | /r/MensRights | 10/12/13 09:09 AM |
| 1 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"Gender is a a longlasting identification with one of several possible ideals that is thought to have neurological causes *:as well as societal ones. Those ideals are typically about apearance, behavior and personality and normaly allow for some variaton. In some western societes there are only two complimentary options (man / woman) available. Now, it would be cheating if I didn't include that most people where mostly fine with their gender bein assigned at birth based on their physical sex (as … | /r/MensRights | 10/12/13 08:50 AM |
| 1 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"Uhm, I'm quite sure masculine and feminine are gender roles and expectations. You'd use them to say -- " hey, that was girl is quite masculine-looking", or "hey that guy has a very feminine hobby"..., but not personality unless you where talking abut specific traits. sex: anatomy, as in capatibitlity to reproduce or appearance? | /r/MensRights | 10/12/13 08:35 AM |
| 2 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"Do you mean transgender or transexual? As in changing the gender identity vs a physiological sex-change? I've seen this usage of the terms a lot recently. Could you please explain where you got it from? In my experience, transgender and transsexual are nearly synonyms but transsexual is used more in a medical context and lacks any umbrella meaning. | /r/MensRights | 10/12/13 04:06 AM |

| 1 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"Ah, yes, I tend to forget about it's umbrella meaning sometimes. Yes, it can also mean anyone who identifies outside of the binary (i.e blurred genders, multiple genders, fluid gender, agender or thirdgender). They really should've picked a better word than "queer" though, in my oppinion..... | /r/MensRights | 10/12/13 03:00 AM |
| 1 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"Not that gender in of itself is a social construct. Like I said, it is partly in the way a binary is assumed. You can either be a man or a woman but not inbetween and not something else. This is called the gender binary. Also physical sex is regarded as always the same es gender identity. While both are true for the majority (or at least don't cause them enough trouble to complain), there are exceptions to the rule. Hopefully you are willing to answer another question. Sure am.

| 2 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"Isn't the entire idea behind it that if you tend to enjoy girly things and have a girly personality that that literally means you're a girl? Nope, that's just what the media has found to be the bestselling narrative. Quite a few trans women also like more masculine hobbies. But a trans girl whose parents "always knew" because "he" wasn't playing with lego and wanted to wear dresses makes for a much better story than a trans guy who basically played along till his twenties, became depressed, did … | /r/MensRights | 10/12/13 01:39 AM |
| 3 | Thoughts about "Gender is a social construct"To get some misconceptions out of the way: Social construct does not mean that something is entirely made up by society. It merely states that societal oppinion of it makes up a huge amount of individual oppinion.

This is why I suggest the concepts of a safe atmosphere, enthusiastic consent and multiple inquires to deal with potential problems.

| 0 | Self-described feminist explains why rapists are almost never your average joeThe problem is that, as stupid as you rightly describe this attitude (which by the way is not that of feminists but of rapists), it is very prevailing and will be used as a defense by rapists. Rape culture however means more than just a lot of people assuming that rape is natural. It also means that people will try to blame the victim for what happend, insisting that they somehow deserved it. | /r/MensRights | 27/11/13 01:15 PM |

| 1 | Funny thing happened this morningI never said that. Why are you trying so hard to put words in my mouth? You don't have to want to hurt someone (or make them feel uncomfortable to stay on topic) for the act to be immoal. Not considering their feelings or the general societal rule regarding the appropriateness (which is why I used the term moral) of the act is sufficient. | /r/MensRights | 05/11/13 03:49 PM |

| -1 | Funny thing happened this morningI did argue that expressing such interest can be problematic for the reasons above and find that it would be very unlikely for an adult person to never have considered this topic. Thus, in expressing sexual interest in the above mentioned circumstances they are not acting inocently. Of course merely having such feelings is entirely human and there must be thousands of ways to express them without being imoral. | /r/MensRights | 05/11/13 01:36 AM |
