2	Woman: "I discovered I enjoyed studying more than I enjoyed working and took advantage of gender expectations, opting to stay home and raise kids. It's a luxury few men have, even if they, too, would rather not work." Mathematics is already a male-dominated field as it is. I could see good reason if we were talking about, say, men in nursing fields. But what would be the point in this?	/r/MensRights	13/09/12 12:26 AM
1	Suggest women's rights activism isn't what it used to be because it used to fight injustice and now just pushes for others to pay for your medical expenses? DOWNVOTES! What might their reasoning be to advocate that insurance plans not cover male birth control?	/r/MensRights	07/09/12 02:25 AM
5	Why other gender equality groups should be feminism Did you even read the article? The author wasn't arguing about "why men need women's rights". She was trying to argue that the men's rights movement and feminist movement share some common goals. Or basically, that "feminism" should describe a movement for gender equality, rather than a movement of women fighting against men's rights. Of course, many here see "feminism" more like the latter rather than the former. But this is nonetheless a valid topic of discussion, and I hope that people can at…	/r/MensRights	03/09/12 08:21 AM
4	Why other gender equality groups should be feminism This article has an extremely valid point: gender roles and social norms are a cause of many issues that not only women have faced, but also the issues that men face (as discussed in this community). Think of the stigma upon men who go into female-dominated career fields like nursing. Or the issue of men being less likely to receive custody than women (as the author points out). Or being called a "pussy" or similar pejorative words if a guy's behavior conflicts with someone's standards of male b…	/r/MensRights	03/09/12 08:08 AM
1	Wife and child accepted to shelter, husband/father is not. The title of this post is bullshit. His rejection had nothing to do with being male; he was rejected for having narcotic pain medication. This is not a men's rights issue. The motivation for this policy is understandable: these shelters probably deal with a lot of drug addicts. Many of them have problems with opiates...maybe the very medication that Doug was prescribed to treat his pain. I highly doubt that they would have applied the policy differently to a woman possessing pain meds. Of course…	/r/MensRights	03/09/12 06:37 AM
1	Just quick threw this together. Thought this sub might appreciate it. Women often worked in dangerous conditions too; this is more of a labor issue than a gender or racial issue. Ever heard of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire?	/r/MensRights	31/08/12 08:17 AM
15	Just a Little Comparison That Needed to be Done Try your local Planned Parenthood or similar. They give out free condoms, and are probably the biggest provider of free/subsidized birth control services. Also, university or city/county health centers often have free condoms too. Of course, Walgreens isn't in the business of giving out free prescriptions. So it makes sense that they'd sell condoms too (which tend to be somewhat overpriced, like a lot of other items there).	/r/MensRights	27/08/12 08:21 AM
-2	This subreddit has pleasantly surprised me. However, up until I ran across this subreddit most guys I knew who would talk to me about issues that men face would also argue that women were just imagining any inequalities that women face. Really? I'd say that a good contingent (if not majority) of people in this subreddit believe/argue the same thing. For example, look at this post that got a lot of upvotes and discussion. It's practically saying that discrimination and inequality against women is rare or nonexistent. Nonetheless, MR has so…	/r/MensRights	15/08/12 06:35 AM
1	It's shit like this Reddit... Looks like most of the votes are from people who found it here (or elsewhere) rather than directly through that thread. The post in question has far more votes than any of its parent posts, even though it's ~6 levels deep. Root post 150 up/92 down, next post 119 up/114 down, next post 117 up/51 down, next post 73 up/100 down, next post 95 up/33 down, linked to post 161 up/374 down.	/r/MensRights	14/08/12 03:16 AM
7	Newest Zimbabwe Health Demographic Survey shows that HIV infection rate is higher on circumcised men. They aren't pointing the finger at circumcised men personally for the spread of HIV, but are rather identifying common misconceptions so health organizations/providers can more effectively provide information. It is easily plausible that such misinformation is widespread in a place like Zimbabwe. Heck, it's the country where the horrible myth that having sex with a virgin can cure HIV is most prevalent. Furthermore, it looks like most men in Zimbabwe aren't involuntarily circumcised. The WHO and…	/r/MensRights	01/08/12 06:20 AM
1	I don't need Feminism. Okay, they are saying that people see women as equals ("I don't need feminism because when people meet me they already see me as an equal"), but pointing out one problem to indicate that men are being discriminated against (her FIL supposedly being stigmatized by people who think he's trying to have a relationship with a young woman). Of course I see that this community is here to discuss gender discrimination and stereotypes against men. But if men face such issues, this does not negate the pos…	/r/MensRights	31/07/12 10:34 PM
-16	I don't need Feminism. Seriously? Gender stereotyping and discrimination against women/girls is rare/nonexistent, yet it is an epidemic for men? That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard all day.	/r/MensRights	31/07/12 04:30 AM
19	4 Women Kill a Man While Raping him... if it was the other way around, maybe it would get more publicity Seriously? This sort of thing happens to women and girls all over the world on a regular basis. If this were a case of a girl/woman being gang-raped and beaten to death in most parts of the world...you probably would have heard nothing about this particular incident (unless it was particularly noteworthy). However, this particular case did get a lot of publicity (see google news), likely in large part because of the odd circumstances.	/r/MensRights	25/07/12 05:53 PM
13	For every £1 spent on mens health £8 is spent on womens I found this post in the thread, posted by a moderator: Feminist's overstate their strength's because in reality they know they don't measure up to men in the areas they want to but they don't want to be seen as being weaker than men so they create a fiction of the "strong woman" that can do anything a man can. Feminism is fueled by a fear and jealousy of men. Why should this site be taken seriously when a post like this isn't just condoned, but actually made by someone who runs it? He's practic…	/r/MensRights	18/07/12 04:37 AM
28	Men's Rights compared to r/beatingwomen, r/jailbait and r/spacedicks. This this this. Some issues in MR are a result of the same sexism and homophobia that cause problems for women and LGBT folks. Look at it from a more 'sociological' perspective and you will find it easier to gain sympathy and support from these groups. Our society sees it as a woman's duty to raise children and fulfill domestic responsibilities. As a result, men have a harder time gaining custody of children and aren't trusted so much around them. On the other hand, it also results in women havi…	/r/MensRights	28/12/11 02:28 AM
7	Anal sex. How it suddenly became the grim reaper that women are now forced to exact at the mercy of leery men. No, he's saying that some hetero women see it as an assertion of power and feel that they have to endure pain to please their partner. (Being gay myself) I think most gay guys don't see it that way...they aren't relegated to a "top" or "bottom" role solely by their gender as many straight relationships are. Some identify as one or the other; some don't; others don't have anal sex at all. In general gay guys seem to put in more effort to enjoy taking "it". If you do it right and get sufficiently …	/r/MensRights	23/12/11 09:54 PM
4	AskReddit discussion: should guys who are in relationships be expected to split the cost of Birth Control with their partner? How exactly would you prove that she failed to take birth control? If she ends up pregnant, that is not evidence in and of itself that she failed to follow through with the agreement (birth control fails sometimes). Remember that abortions cost money too, and some people avoid abortion for personal reasons. If you were to draft such an agreement, it might make sense to agree to help pay for the abortion in such a case. And IANAL but what about the legal validity of such a contract? I'm not sure …	/r/MensRights	20/12/11 09:10 PM
3	I thought this was illegal now? Arguably men are (statistically) more likely to get into severe accidents because they tend to be more aggressive and more likely to take risks. (It's a whole other topic as to why exactly this is; probably a combination of natural and cultural factors.) Would this not partially explain why men tend to end up in management, sales, and various other business positions? It's a bit hypocritical to complain about men having a higher average salary than do women, but then defend practices like insura…	/r/MensRights	05/12/11 06:02 PM
5	I thought this was illegal now? It might be wrong for them to discriminate, but really it's not silly logic. What if the average cost is more? Say for instance that 3% of women get into accidents and the average claim is $3000, whereas 1% of men get into accidents and the average claim is $15000. That would mean that the average payout for women would be $90, whereas for men it would be $150. Even though the number of incidents involving women might be more, the magnitude of severity of ones involving men would make the sum of…	/r/MensRights	05/12/11 05:56 PM
1	Girl, 16, jailed after lying about rape after cheating on boyfriend. The penalty for this offense should be as severe as the penalties issued towards rapists. Being falsely accused of such a heinous crime as rape is easily just as emotionally and socially debilitating as actually being a victim of rape.	/r/MensRights	08/12/10 06:52 PM
2	No evidence, but suspected of child porn… oh wait, he also had encrypted content! Jail time! Well, maybe they'll be able to prosecute him when they finish breaking the encryption in maybe...100,000 years or so?	/r/MensRights	06/10/10 04:48 PM
5	You want equality and quotas for women in Congress, on Boards of Directors, in wages, in science? Fine. Are you also ok with equality in healthcare spending? In sentencing of crimes? In child custody? In Selective Service? Quotas for dangerous, difficult jobs? Quotas in education? Why not? If some women complain about being underrepresented in the corporate world, then why (for instance) are they completely ok with auto insurance companies charging higher rates for men than for women? Yes, men tend to get in accidents more often, likely because they are naturally prone to be more aggressive and take risks. This could also explain the higher prevalence of men in business fields (among other reasons, like women tending to leave jobs to raise kids.)	/r/MensRights	02/10/10 09:50 PM
