1	Male Privilege Why'd you even reply to a month old thread if you're just going to downvote my answer and not respond?	/r/MensRights	19/08/16 12:47 AM
0	Male Privilege This post is a month old. For whatever reason women are more likely to make half hearted attempts, and men more likely to really mean it when they do it. Women aren't making "half hearted attempts." Men and women choose different methods of suicide. Women tend to think more about what people will find afterwords and about preserving beauty even after death because society has ingrained that beauty is the most important over and over. As for military deaths, what the hell? So it's totally okay th…	/r/MensRights	17/08/16 11:45 AM
1	Male Privilege Sorry, just to clarify, this was in reference to whether or not there are more than two genders, right? I only ask because the analogy seems to fit the gender fluid point more, but you address that in the next paragraph Both really. The third gender that most older cultures talked about from what I saw were mostly just transgender people or eunuchs. Basically they knew they weren't what they were born as, but they didn't quite have the science we have today to actually fix things. I apologize ag…	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 07:40 PM
2	Male Privilege Nothing at all. Its one of those things where its hugely controversial within the Trans community as well. Think about bisexuals in the LGBT community. They're constantly told that they're straight or gay and just looking to be special when its entirely possible that they could be bisexual. When it comes to gender fluid stuff, we don't honestly know if its real. But we don't want to come out and tell people that their core identity is wrong because we've seen how that works out with the rest of …	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 06:33 PM
1	Male Privilege What right have you been deprived of? I've already asked this and yet you've failed to mention. Let's see. I can't donate blood. Can't join the military. Can't go to any public bathrooms. Been denied jobs. Been denied healthcare. Been denied housing once. Not personally, but seen some people beaten and sexually assaulted for being trans. Literally can never win a custody case since you love talking about that one so much. A 42% suicide attempt rate because of how shittily we're treated. That is …	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 03:45 PM
1	Male Privilege Let's think of this way. You're a straight man, you like women. You tell everyone "I'm gay" what the FUCK other than your words would lead someone to conclude that? And I can tell you don't trust the mental health community so you probably don't know this. In order to get a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, in this instance in order to get prescription medicine in order to transition, you have to meet certain criteria. There are typically 10 or so symptoms that are possible and you need a set numbe…	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 03:29 PM
1	Male Privilege Because of how rare it is. It's one of two things either you're wrong (i.e. You were XX and were never a man) or you're lying (and you don't have XX chromosomes). You are aware that being trans is just as rare as these genetic disorders right? Gender is what you think you are, Sex is what you really are. Gender means nothing, gender won't let you reproduce, sex will. Gender doesn't carry on humanity, sex does. Gender can't be identified, Sex can. If your Sex doesn't match your Gender you've got …	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 03:01 PM
0	Male Privilege Gender and Sex aren't the same thing. The entire field of psychology disagrees with you. The people who specialize in the mind, the field I'm a part of, disagrees with you. Your entire argument hinges on "Well you can't change your chromosomes!" And when confronted with the fact that you're wrong about my chromosomes you think I'm lying. Of course you're a bigot.	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 02:37 PM
0	Male Privilege I disagree with what you believe yourself to be because it conflicts with scientific fact, that is all. Scientific fact disagrees with YOU actually. But you won't accept that because you're just a bigot	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 02:21 PM
1	Male Privilege This is honestly why I avoid this sub. Its just full of bigots who want rights but won't accept anyone else. Have fun hating on feminists I guess	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 02:15 PM
1	Male Privilege Biology can't be trumped by psychology. Scientific fact always remains. If you were to commit a crime and leave only DNA evidence behind they could - guaranteed - know exactly what you always were regardless of how many "Transitions" you do. Can you show me a bioligist's paper that agrees with you? They say that trans people are deluded and that they're right? Why do you ask silly questions when your links already contain the answers? The point was to show you that XY and XX are not the only opt…	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 02:01 PM
0	Male Privilege Oh? What about these cases? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYY_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XXYY_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/48,_XXXX There are more as well. Chromsomes aren't quite as cut and dry as you think. As for this garbage It most certainly is a mental illness, that's not up for question. The fact of the matter is you have two things: Body and Mind. If the body is healthy then it must be the mind that is broken. Do yo…	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 01:47 PM
1	Male Privilege If I staple a horn to my face am I a unicorn? If a man loses his penis does he cease to be a man? Define a man then. And define a woman. Also the first part is pretty shitty thing to say. I don't know how you can say that you want help from the psychiatry community and then go on to say that their studies and methods about a group of people are just flat out wrong. I doubt this INCREDIBLY rare issue is the case however. You do realize being trans on its own is already an incredibly rare issue ri…	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 01:38 PM
1	Male Privilege You are a man. DNA does not lie. Oh? How do you know what my DNA is? What if I told you I was actually born with an XX and just had an odd birth defect that made me develop as male? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XX_male_syndrome So despite being born with XX and as a male, I'm a man to you?	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 01:28 PM
2	Male Privilege You simultaneously complain about Men not coming forward and harass them when they do. I haven't harassed any men actually, but thanks for the input. I actually talked about how things will likely be getting better for men over the next few years because of the awareness from groups like yours. All you did was rant about feminists in that last post. If you want to talk about men's rights, talk about the issues not your "opponents." Feminism is a broad group of people and they don't all agree wit…	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 01:16 PM
0	Male Privilege So you're not even talking to me anymore. Thanks for the dump of links that don't have to do with what I said though I guess? Once again, you cherry pick a sentence without the context around it and go off on a rant though. I dunno, you just don't seem like you want to actually talk and just want to rant so have at it.	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 01:05 PM
0	Male Privilege Yes, there is no COMPLETE count. That means that there are likely a lot that go unreported as well as some self-harm that gets reported as a suicide attempt. Do you think that every male suicide attempt just goes unreported? You didn't even read the rest of the sentence you're quoting : however, each year the CDC gathers data from hospitals on non-fatal injuries from self-harm. Females attempt suicide three times more often than males.	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 12:58 PM
1	Male Privilege Its a well known statistic. I didn't think I needed to source something that has been known for a very long time.	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 12:56 PM
-2	Male Privilege It helps to read everything I say and to not only read the parts you disagree with you know. You don't think suicide attempts are counted multiple times (as people repeat) despite having no evidence that such is the case and the fact that such reporting would require a national database of personal information. I said they were right here : "As for how many times an unsuccessful attempt is recounted, each attempt is one attempt" They intentionally choose a non-lethal method, despite knowing how …	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 12:37 PM
0	Male Privilege I never said I was okay with it.	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 12:14 PM
-1	Male Privilege You could have just googled it instead of calling me a liar you know. http://afsp.org/about-suicide/suicide-statistics/	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 12:14 PM
-2	Male Privilege So a man dying counts as much as a woman who tried unsuccessfully? How many times is an unsuccessful attempt recounted? Think of it this way. There are 5 men who commit suicide. There are 15 women who attempt suicide, some of which survive because your body can painfully shut down a pill suicide attempt. The fact is, those 15 women were trying to die just as much as the 5 men who did end up committing suicide. Just because they ended up getting help doesn't somehow make the deaths of the men mor…	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 11:32 AM
1	Male Privilege No, you can't just dismiss a suicide attempt as a cry for help. If someone is attempting suicide, it is every bit as serious as a completed attempt	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 10:58 AM
5	Male Privilege Not quite 60/40 actually. A CDC study found that, in the US, 1 in 71 men had been raped or suffered an attempt within their lifetime. The same study found that approximately 1 in 21 or 4.8% men in a survey had been made to penetrate someone else, usually an intimate partner or acquaintance Its definitely higher than people like to talk about, but its not quite that high.	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 02:48 AM
16	Male Privilege Sure, I'll take a shot at this. We don't have a draft, so I'm not sure how combat deaths is really relevant. These are people who chose to go to the frontlines as soldiers, and the military is largely still a boy's club so there's not nearly as many women in the military so you should be using a % of men that die while serving and % of women that die while serving. Homocide victims is a weird one as well. While certainly true, there are other violent crimes that women are more likely to be affec…	/r/MensRights	18/07/16 12:09 AM
