| 1 | Female privilege in action - she is free to act like this because she knows nobody will fight back.this comment is... really naive. I'd have responded to it earlier if I saw it earlier. the difference between a regular person and a psychopath isn't "being okay with killing people", it's the difference between being okay with killing people and being really okay with killing people the law (and sensitization) is the only thing keeping MOST PEOPLE from killing people, nevermind psychopaths. most people are unexposed to violence by virtue of living comfortable and sheltered lives, so they are sh… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/16 11:11 PM |

| – | Anna Stubblefield found GUILTY of raping cerebral palsy-stricken manFrom the original article: "Psychologists have determined he is mentally incompetent and cannot consent to sexual activity." Something I'm curious about: If being mentally incompetent means you cannot consent to sexual activity in New Jersey, how would mentally incompetent people reproduce? Or, if they can't consent to sex with each other under New Jersey law, are they prohibited from reproducing? | /r/MensRights | 03/10/15 06:57 PM |

| 1 | Fear and loathing of penises in the girls' locker roomThat's a good solution if you want greek/latin words to work with, yeah. The problem isn't with the words, though, it's with people, and people are why idiot-proofing words is so important. People who are not diligent about this will infer the meaning from the etymology and not what it's literally used to mean. Look at how many people use 'misogyny' to mean "hatred of women" in a very literal sense, instead of "bias against women", which is how it's used academically. I mean, shit, people misund… | /r/MensRights | 03/09/15 07:27 PM |
| 3 | Fear and loathing of penises in the girls' locker roomThe problem with trying to find a single greek/latin word to describe these events is that both etymologically and functionally it doesn't work; "misogyny" and "misandry" are used to mean "bias against females" and "bias against males" respectively, but there are no equivalent greek/latin terms for "bias in favor of females" and "bias in favor of males"; the closest you can get is gynocentrism/androcentrism and those miss the mark in several important ways.

| 3 | Man asks woman to take his virginity for his birthday, adds $100 offer, and girl explodes -- breaking down how to identify bad informationI'd go even further and say you can have sex without love, love without sex, sex without relationships and love without relationships. We usually think about loving someone as synonymous with dating them -- as in, once you say "I love you" then that's the point where you'd be in a relationship. And there are a lot of reasons why that's probably the case, but those are unrelated commitments. The primary determinant of a relationship is partnership compatibility, since that's usually what the comm… | /r/seduction | 26/07/15 11:24 PM |
| 1 | Man asks woman to take his virginity for his birthday, adds $100 offer, and girl explodes -- breaking down how to identify bad informationWould you be happy if you find out that your daughter is a prostitute? Maybe. If she wanted to be, sure. If she didn't want to be, it'd be a question of what her alternatives were and why she's doing it. But in that case I'd be unhappy about her situation, not the job choice. The job activity itself is a neutral issue. STD risk in heterosexual intercourse is minimal anyway; the main risk is in anal intercourse, especially unprotected and especially receptive.

| 3 | Man asks woman to take his virginity for his birthday, adds $100 offer, and girl explodes -- breaking down how to identify bad informationI get that sometimes, because there is some overlap, though I deviate pretty hard from them too. As far as I'm aware the ideals there are oriented toward heterosexual goals and gender norms; I'm bisexual and in an open relationship and anything resembling nuclear family style relationships I really don't like, and I think a lot of that stuff applies mostly if you're going for very traditional heterosexual relationships. Also, we'd probably disagree on gender roles. Which isn't new to me because … | /r/seduction | 26/07/15 10:05 PM |

You can prefer whatever you want. Of course some people will morally object to some people and not sleep with those people on that basis. This quote for example: She seems to be more emotional empathetic personality type so this type would need more emotional intimacy to have sex.

Can't say I feel the same. I mean, there's nothing mysterious about sex or value or any of that. It's a reproductive behavior that we've hacked to be non-reproductive by manipulating our endocrine systems with exogenous hormones, by putting latex over our genitals, and so on.

I don't actually know how useful stuff like this is for other people. I imagine it would be, but I can never be sure, and this subreddit is a good place to test it out. I've considered making an ebook out of stuff like this, though I've only slept with about 30 people, so I'm not sure how qualified I am to do that when other people in this industry have numbers in the hundreds. | /r/seduction | 26/07/15 08:27 PM |

This article does spend some time setting up the characters and the scenarios, but it sets that stuff up for a reason.

| 3 | Article about the rape of men in the Congo removed from TIL - "misleading claim"A good test for moderator bias is to look how they behave with clear-cut and vague criteria. For example /r/science removed a study about testosterone that conflicted with some feminist positions, but it was legitimately too old and they'd have removed it anyway. But if the rule relies on heavy degrees of interpretation, and the people interpreting that rule tend to side with one group more than others, there's probably bias. | /r/MensRights | 05/06/15 02:15 AM |

| -1 | Crowdsourcing a new word for: aggressive online efforts, usually with social media, to harm the employment or future employment of a person, esp. when said harm is motivated by ideology.I'd vote against "Dongling" because no one would take it seriously when it happens; "Dongle" is one of the most inherently hilarious words in the English language. 'Adriatizing' could be good though. | /r/MensRights | 21/04/13 11:24 AM |
| 4 | Yesterday I was told outright that "we don't hire men."Yeah, when I clicked this I was really hoping it wasn't a guy applying to the Lion & Rose, where all the servers are women wearing short tartan skirts. This would be way more of a smoking gun if it were in a scenario where sex doesn't make a difference, but as it is I can understand the rationale. | /r/MensRights | 15/04/13 02:35 AM |
| 5 | My PhD (from a top 5 school) is in a female dominated field. I have been unemployed for 10 mos. Just want to ask some things...The authors concluded that the positive general evaluation of women derives from the association between women and nurturant characteristics; these characteristics qualify women for the domestic role as well as low-status, low-paying, female-dominated jobs and this explains why women face discrimination in male-dominated professions where male characteristics are seen as a requirement. Wait, what? "The authors concluded that the positive general evaluation of women ... explains why women face di… | /r/MensRights | 10/04/13 04:34 PM |

I've started using alts to post content I feel might not succeed outside of /r/SRSSucks, where my accountname is known, because some people have downvote bots assigned to my MittRomneysCampaign account. | /r/MensRights | 09/04/13 07:05 PM |
| 40 | "If you would just shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up! We should be allies! Shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up! PATRIARCHY! Shut the fuck up! So we can totally be besties, right?! Shut the fuck up!" UWhen you start yelling and cursing at your target audience, they tend to stop taking you seriously and see you as a crazy person. She's not thinking of the MRA she's talking to. She knows she's being filmed, so she thinks that she's going to be spun as a brave feminist underdog mustering the willpower to challenge an oppressor. It's the same line of reasoning that the tumblr feminist had when she interrupted Daniel Tosh. She knew Daniel Tosh was being recorded and she didn't expect to convince h… | /r/MensRights | 06/04/13 03:25 AM |

| 9 | Study: Men look at women's faces, women look at women's bodies.When I was 18-19, I gravitated toward liberalism when I realized that, by being an atheist, I was inherently incompatible with the Christian right. It didn't help that as you went further on the ends of social liberalism (really, civil libertarianism, but I didn't know that then) you aligned with stuff I believed. To top it all off, the Christian right seemed anti-science by principle. So in a very naive way, I reasoned that this must be where all the smart people were. A lot of people accept fe… | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 09:05 AM |

I don't think this is controversial either; I think Eliezer himself would disapprove of upvoting someone just based on who they are. | /r/MensRights | 06/02/13 01:19 AM |

| 18 | I got tired of standing by. Thanks /r/MensRightsThe thing is though, "big tits and a tiny waist" is not nearly as much work as "jacked and tan." Maybe "tall and huge penis" would be a proper equivalent, since neither of those involve work. Many women underestimate just how much effort is required to transform a body from skinnyfat to ripped. A woman can get an incredible body, by female standards, with a few month's worth of work; a man has to spend years to achieve the equivalent naturally. | /r/MensRights | 06/02/13 12:52 AM |
| 22 | University of Toronto Students Union attempts to (1) have the University administration ban/block A Voice For Men on their network, and (2) have AVFM's hosting company shut the website down.if it does happen, make sure to enlist a bunch of football players / bodybuilders so that you can disrupt any blockade they try to create to the speech. The UTSU seems like a perpetual echo chamber so instead of saying "maybe we shouldn't try to block it this time" I think they'd say "we should try blocking it again, but with more people." | /r/MensRights | 05/02/13 11:49 PM |

| 6 | Teenager falsely accused of rape beaten to death by gang (which included the accuser's brother) - XPost from WorldnewsAnd abhorrently, but predictably, SRS has taken the outrage at the murder of this boy and turned it into a talking point about "hating women." You can read it on their frontpage. It's so coldly dogmatic that it's disgusting. | /r/MensRights | 10/01/13 09:46 AM |
| 25 | What would a functional Men's Rights Movement look like?This is basically taking issue-based activism and turning into ideological-based activism. It's implicitly believing in a lot of feminist ideas ("the patriarchy") which aren't so much issues as ideological theories. Especially on the feminist side these tend to lack falsifiability, since it's difficult to prove how, if at all, "the patriarchy" creates the gender role you are claiming to be oppressed by. The "feminization" paragraph is the essence of "patriarchy hurts men too!" without actually u… | /r/MensRights | 12/12/12 09:25 PM |
| 8 | Just got fired from job because of woman.I was actually expelled in 5th grade because of a complaint like this. The actual complaint was that I made a "terroristic threat." I didn't. What happened was that a bully told me that this kid he knew was going to break into my house, and I said "if he does, there's a gun in my house too." The gun was in four pieces, granted, but they twisted this reply to hear "I have a gun and are going to kill all of you." (This was right after Columbine.)

| 6 | YOU DID IT: University of Toronto administration condemns protest, Warren Farrell protest to be covered by Sun News NetworkI would say that's true of people on the far end of any ideology, since they tend to have "ends justify means" mentalities.

| 15 | YOU DID IT: University of Toronto administration condemns protest, Warren Farrell protest to be covered by Sun News NetworkI'm not sure how to feel about that website. It seems to be vaguely pro-censorship, or censorship by mobbing anyway. The blatant bigotry expressed by an apparently responsible adult, and university professor is wholly inexcusable. Barecca is utilizing her stature as an academic to promote class hatred and legal and economic marginalization of a sexual demographic.

| 21 | YOU DID IT: University of Toronto administration condemns protest, Warren Farrell protest to be covered by Sun News NetworkI don't think it really matters who covers it.
