| 3 | North Carolina becomes first state to guarantee students option for lawyer in disciplinary hearingsMaybe, but the unfortunate downside is that the lawyer has to be provided at the students' expense - which is a massive expense for anyone not part of a well-to-do family. | /r/MensRights | 28/08/13 03:09 PM |
| 5 | Penis Preservation Prevails: Ban on Male Circumcision Will Appear on San Fran BallotThe advent and prevalence of male circumcision was, entirely, an issue to reduce sensitivity - though, like Magnut said, primarily to reduce masturbation. The two processes are exactly the same, and while their effectiveness may differ - the only true difference is the relative social acceptance of male circumcision to female circumcision. The myth that circumcision was done for health reasons was made up after the fact as a way of rationalizing. Only in very extreme cases could circumcision pos… | /r/MensRights | 19/05/11 02:59 PM |
| 3 | Penis Preservation Prevails: Ban on Male Circumcision Will Appear on San Fran BallotThe point being that the original response is that you are, quite literally, scarred for life. You're interpreting it as emotional - and while the emotional damage is hard to quantify (particularly in that it's hard to miss something that you never remember having) the scar is quite literal and quite blatant. | /r/MensRights | 19/05/11 02:45 PM |
| 3 | Penis Preservation Prevails: Ban on Male Circumcision Will Appear on San Fran BallotI think this approach is a very fair and correct way to do it. Ban it for minors, if grown-up men want to get it done, that's fine with them. But it is an irreversible process that can permanently alter someone's life for no reason, before they have any time to input the process. | /r/MensRights | 19/05/11 02:43 PM |
| 8 | The Wars Against MenI agree - this is something that all sides of any equal rights argument need to keep in mind. There are downsides for almost any group in certain situations - I always hear the "you're a X, you have no right to complaint, Y have it worse here". I see it a lot in MensRights - very anti-women sentiments in that women have perks in everything. They are discriminated against sometimes too, but that doesn't mean that men aren't discriminated against in many cases, too, though. Often in many cases, bo… | /r/MensRights | 15/02/11 10:23 PM |
| 1 | National Geographic Bee judge "believes the bee violates federal laws on gender equity because a large majority of the state winners are boys" - I guess boys can't have anything good in their lives, huh?This article leaves out a lot of information that is very important: What is the ratio, in total, of males to female entries at the very base end of the pool in terms of gender? I have nothing to base this on other than knowledge that, typically speaking, males tend to be attracted to and flourish more in competitive conditions - that there is a significant gender gap in terms of number of entrants into the entire competition by males. When I was in high school I attended speech and debate tourn… | /r/MensRights | 04/02/11 02:55 PM |
| 6 | Women paying more than men for health insurance? Discrimination. Men paying more for life and auto insurance? No problem. Feminists only want rights when it benefits Women, not equality.The thing that annoys me the most, is that repealing the health care law is made out as if it will disproportionately affect women - and this is obvious political leveraging as anyone in their right mind who actually reads all of the talking points realizes that there's realistically one - and at most, two - of her bullet points that are issues that have anything to do with gender at all. To me, it sends the message that the representative is trying to make something out that is not sexist into … | /r/MensRights | 20/01/11 07:16 PM |
| 3 | Survey: 68% of men would date an unemployed woman, 80% of women would not date an unemployed manI agree with you on this - some of the negative responses are a little silly and it seems that you're being jumped on for being a woman. As a straight guy, I wouldn't date a girl who was a mooch off of me, either. If I'm going to work and bring home and income, so are they. I don't expect money brought to always be equal, but barring an understandable inability to do so, we're both going to be full time workers and that's all there is to it.

| 1 | Survey: 68% of men would date an unemployed woman, 80% of women would not date an unemployed manHm, well - I'll bite and be honest, I might date an unemployed woman, but I wouldn't get in a serious relationship with an unemployed woman - unless, of course, she happened to be in school or something along those lines. While I understand that finding a job isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world, and I wouldn't leave someone if they became unemployed - I also wouldn't be willing to take on the financial responsibility for someone else if they couldn't at least take part of the load as we… | /r/MensRights | 19/01/11 02:57 PM |

From what I recall, what you said is an outward perception from the victim and not an inward perception from the perpetrators. The top signs to make you get mugged are looking unsure, lacking confidence, appearing socially inept, etc. are what make you the most inclined to get robbed. Though this may seem similar to vulnerability, it's not quite the same thing. In essence, being nervous and afraid that you're going to get robbed… | /r/MensRights | 05/01/11 09:58 PM |
| 6 | “It’s Only “Good Science” If the Message Is Politically Correct”: "No scientific conclusions can be good or bad, sexist, racist, offensive, reactionary, or dangerous; they can only be true or false."This is incredibly true. One of the things I've always hated is hearing the debate about equal rights in something like sports. Hopefully I won't get down voted for this - but I suppose it might prove the topic right, so it'll be interesting either way. Anyhow, I'll use the NFL as an example - there is the widely publicized "Rooney Rule" that requires NFL teams to interview at least one black (maybe minority?) candidate, because black people are disproportionately underrepresented (percentage of… | /r/MensRights | 31/12/10 09:53 PM |

Women have all the power in this situation - including the power to make the man legally responsible for his actions. I fully and wholly agree with the options you gave him. I know that there is an unfortunate truth that a man can't always have full and total power to force a woman to have an abortion so long as it is morally objectionable and has the potential to be phy… | /r/MensRights | 16/12/10 02:33 PM |
| -1 | Woman denied alimony because she had talked about open marriage | - Not as WTF and lulz as the other article, but still women see Alimony as a 'right'.I don't really buy this modern day interpretation, I'm sorry. Maybe I've just never seen it done "properly" but my step-mom was a stay at home mom, and she did cooking and cleaning and general talking care of, of which she spent 2-3 hours a day on. It's just not that much. No one pays me extra to cook my own meals and clean my own house and taking care of myself. If you don't work, you don't have to magically not do those things.

| 2 | Woman denied alimony because she had talked about open marriage | - Not as WTF and lulz as the other article, but still women see Alimony as a 'right'.I'll be fair here - while I'm aware you're not saying this, people that wouldn't get married without alimony aren't necessarily the ones that get married to get alimony. It's kind of like saying that people who wouldn't drive a car of insurance wasn't required are just looking to commit insurance fraud (the analogy is a little bit off, but you get the idea). | /r/MensRights | 19/11/10 01:57 PM |
| 5 | Woman denied alimony because she had talked about open marriage | - Not as WTF and lulz as the other article, but still women see Alimony as a 'right'.Agreed to the reasonable response. However - I do think there should be a maximum. Not having to work is a privilege, not a right. I think that a maximum of two years is reasonable - you can't expect someone to keep supplementing someone else's poor decision. Choosing not to work and to not prepare yourself for a situation in which you may need to work is a poor decision and we shouldn't reward those people for those decisions for an unreasonable amount of time. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/10 01:52 PM |
| 1 | "retroactively revocable consent" ???? Are you Serious ? What is going on with you Canada?I don't disagree that arguments of these types tend to be laden with hypocrisy - again, I think the sentiment of how the verdict is handled depends on the context. If she says "Are you jewish?" and he says "Yes." - I think he deserves a degree of blame, though it's probably only justified as morally wrong. Lying to a person isn't a crime, and I do aknowledge that - but like I said, it's hard to say what is-and-isn't a reasonable amount of effort on your part.

What is going on with you Canada?Hm, well, though I understand that not everyone thinks this way and it's not really like I'm going to be on a jury - I still see a significant difference between the two. One is consent given in the context of a lie, something along the lines of fraud - the other is consent given and then attempted to be retracted on the basis that they weren't pleased with the outcome. I'm not trying to make an excuse for it - but they are still differently. There are really two sides to the "If I had known X, … | /r/MensRights | 17/11/10 09:05 PM |
| 9 | "retroactively revocable consent" ???? Are you Serious ? What is going on with you Canada?I think that retroactively revocable consent as mentioned by the author is an editorialized comment that is taken out of context. This isn't something Canada has done, this is something the author has convinced himself that feminists in general want - and that this, specific woman (in this case) appears to be doing. But let's look at the facts regarding what he states: Although she later recanted her testimony, the judge still sentenced the man to jail for having sex with an unconscious person. … | /r/MensRights | 17/11/10 02:50 PM |
| 1 | [XX] In my Ethics class today, I was the only person who felt that men should be considered regarding the decision to abort.I think that, like it or not, it has to be the woman's choice whether or not to have an abortion. There're just no two ways about it. However, I think that if the man does not want the child, and the woman still wants it - he should be able to sign away his rights to any parental rights of the child and the woman has it, and he is not legally responsible for it. I also think that if the woman does not want to have the child, but the man does - if she is willing to take the pregnancy to term, she… | /r/MensRights | 05/11/10 02:05 PM |
| 2 | "Society paying price for pornography use." Another issue that is demonizing men.This is sad, but true. We've really been trained to think that looking at pornography and masturbating, etc. etc. are this awful thing. Masturbation and pornography are one of those really interesting states where regardless of how widely they are used, most still vehemently deny them. I'm not going to deny that there are people that don't look at pornography - and there are possibly people that don't masturbate... But we need to stop conveying the belief that people that look at porn, or mastur… | /r/MensRights | 20/09/10 03:15 AM |

It's interesting, though, that there is a much wider disparity by gender that is totally ignored. It's the percentage of students receiving A to C grades in England.

| 3 | British man desperately seeks daughter in Toronto: Things really fell apart when he was granted a shared residence order, which meant that his daughter Pearl would spend a lot more time with him.It could be a grudge. It could be mental illness. It's hard to say. In my opinion it's always best to think back to the way our justice system is truly supposed to operate: Innocent until proven guilty. Breaking the law to get away from someone who (to my knowledge, but I'm not really going to do in-depth research on this) does not have any sort of criminal record or history of anything... To me, points to something wrong on the mother's part, and not the father's part. | /r/MensRights | 04/09/10 11:02 PM |

Women good.” I reject that notion categorically.The thing is, though, that it's not like we can't look as far as the vast majority of sexual-based reproduction in mammals and not surmise that there is a scientific explanation for -why- women have so much power in choosing a mate and -why- they are naturally predisposed to be more selective of their mates.

Then there is the resale value...The most surprising issue to me was that I had no idea that there was the entire industry backing of reselling it. For the majority of my life I just attributed this as being a mistake that comes with scientific myths and that it would phase out now that information is coming out that the line of thinking is untrue.

Regardless of whether or not that's the true definition of the term, unfortunately that's the sentiment that it evokes to many people - obviously including yourself.

However, I do agree in that think perhaps people are misguided in really calling it a patriarchy - I think calling it that intentionally leads you to believe that we are a "male dominated" society.

| 1 | Dealing with boys in schoolWell, I think the notion of assigning individual teachers to sub-groups of students is a significant problem. As we have relatively quick ways to set up instant meetings with teachers that are cheap (laptops and web cameras are cheap now), you can still have a ratio of 10 students to 1 teacher, but on a much more macro level.

The issue is that the cost is going up but the teacher pay is remaining stagnant or going down - this leads to fewer people getting into teaching professions, and they are more the bastion of those who want stability more so than anything else.
