| 1 | “For women, the problem is particularly acute. Tens of thousands of men have died.” — The New York Times article about the dating scene in Ukraine (2024)To be fair, in this sentence "the problem" refers to dating, not the war more generally. And the deaths of men in the war, men's fear of being drafted, and men fleeing the country have all been covered in other articles linked in that sentence. Why is dating an issue worthy of focus? "Last year, Ukraine had its lowest number of births and its second lowest number of marriages in the past 10 years, according to government data."

| 1 | Why should women get priority in disasters? Shouldn’t adults compete equally?"You claimed “they were de facto prioritizing men” and provided no evidence to back that up. The evidence shows they have consistently prioritized women." So you just haven't understood the quote you shared over and over.

Shouldn’t adults compete equally?How does "After struggling to get food to the Haitian earthquake survivors who need it most" equal "it also means that relief organizers--who have a long track record of ignoring male victims--wanted to get more food to women." In that quote, where do you see evidence of this long track record? Seriously, who are they referring to when they say "survivors who need it most"?

Infant abandonment is discussed here like a happy privilege that only women enjoy, which is utterly ridiculous.

The supreme court cannot make laws, formally or informally, but it can rule certain laws unconstitutional and therefore unenforceable. The Roe decision argued that certain abortion rights were protected by the constitution; the Dobbs decision argued that Roe was wrongly decided, thus overturning 60 years of legal precedent.

Male-only governments and voting blocs enacted conscription in all of these cases. Fact.

About half of single dads live with another adult who is not legally responsible for the kids. Did you read the link, or do you prefer to go on vibes? I have no evidence that kids from "rich single mother households" have worse outcomes than "poor single father households," and I doubt that it is true, so I won't explain that. I also don't know where your data comes from, but a quick search sho… | /r/MensRights | 20/05/25 05:04 PM |

| 1 | Taxed for being single in Japan from 2026.Single fathers are more likely to cohabitate with a partner (41%) than single mothers (16%), so they have more domestic help than moms do. They also tend to be older than single mothers. 25% of them are below the poverty line (vs sm's 43%), and they are less well-off than married men. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2013/07/02/the-rise-of-single-fathers/ But again, it's not just bashing women, it's doing so by sidestepping one of if not the most prevalent men's rights violations in the… | /r/MensRights | 20/05/25 02:41 PM |
| 1 | Taxed for being single in Japan from 2026.This is what I don't get about this sub. At least in the US, mass incarceration is by far the most prevalent, damaging way that men are systemically stripped of their rights. Instead of railing against the carceral state taking advantage of underprivileged young men and profiting off of their slave labor, we spend our energy dunking on women (with whom men had sex) that raise kids in their own. Instead of speaking about how the justice system strips fathers from their families and perpetuates a … | /r/MensRights | 20/05/25 02:23 PM |
| 1 | Large new study finds almost half of Australians who have experienced intimate partner violence are maleFair enough, you did not claim women are "more violent," and this discussion came out of curiosity about domestic violence rates in lesbian relationships. However, I wouldn't say my assumptions are baseless. In your initial comment: "More men report being hit bitten or struck by an object (authors attempt to excuse this under reactionary violence or couples violence - apparently reciprocal violence is back in rogue when the men are victims)" -- the studies we looked at show women are more likely… | /r/MensRights | 20/05/25 01:04 PM |
| 0 | Male Loneliness Epidemic in ChinaNot saying you are responsible for Confucian patriarchy and filial piety, but I think that conveniently talking our way around it does not help men. Admitting that it is essentially sexist to favor male babies' lives over female ones does not erase or invalidate men's problems. We need to admit that misogynist traditions hurt men, as is plainly clear in this example. What I am saying is: why are you not considering young fathers as part of this reserve of 'untapped male behaviors'? Young and mid… | /r/MensRights | 20/05/25 12:47 PM |

Ultrasound machines did not abort female fetuses, kill female infants, or put female babies up for international adoption. Ultrasound machines are not responsible for Confucian patriarchy or economies that value male over female labor.

Even in non-reciprocal relationships, the total injuries from male perpetrators (only 30% of non-r perps) were 136 vs 130 from women (70% of non-r perps).

This shows cis women that identify as LGB+ report experiencing slightly higher rates of ipv than LGB+ men, but that would also be inclusive of bisexual relationships.

| 1 | Male Loneliness Epidemic in ChinaPosting this critique while completely ignoring the fact that there are simply more men in China due to the systematic murder of infant girls by the government under the One Child Policy is... a choice. Baby girls were aborted, put up for international adoption, or killed at much higher rates than boys, and now demographics are skewed.

| 0 | It's the equality only when men fall behind"The third distinguishing feature of the Global Gender Gap Index is that it ranks countries according to their proximity to gender equality rather than to women’s empowerment. Our aim is to focus on whether the gap between women and men in the chosen indicators has declined, rather than whether women are winning the so-called “battle of the sexes”. Hence, the index rewards countries that reach the point where outcomes for women equal those for men, but it neither rewards nor penalizes cases in w… | /r/MensRights | 20/05/25 12:57 AM |

| 3 | Why so many people still think that Patriarchy currently exists when men and women both have it hard in today’s world with governments creating many laws which discriminate either men or women or both at the same time??? “Male privilege” is a lie intended to deny men’s problems and put us at fault"Patriarchy is when men dominate over women, not when men dominate over other men so it doesn’t exist right now and it’s a lie." There has never been a patriarchy in which men only oppressed women and men were never oppressed. Women are oppressed on the basis of sex in a patriarchal system, and the entire population is subject to race/ethnic/religious/sexuality/class oppression. When women are oppressed, men are making the laws. When men are oppressed, men are also making the laws. Know your rea… | /r/MensRights | 19/05/25 11:41 PM |

| 1 | Some trans men are so in denial it makes me madTotally agree that the term toxic masculinity has been misconstrued to the point of meaninglessness, and I'd say the most important aspects that get lost are that 1. the toxicity is suffered by the man who experiences it 2. masculinity is not in and of itself toxic. Toxic gender norms is a great, neutral term that would help with both. I think the difference in the toxic vs internalized terms is directionality.

| 1 | This is why boys are continuously lagging behind in education than girlsThis is important research, but it seems like some of these studies are being misrepresented. For the above description of #2 to be accurate, the study would have to focus on specific behaviors (i.e., staring out of a window) and how teachers interpret that behavior differently between male and female students.
