1	My coworkers got flowers. I got nothing. You said this was an equality issue, I was refuting that. Yeah, you didn't make that clear in the slightest. Maybe I was supposed to infer that from the whole "feminists" bit of your comment, but honestly it was not clear, if that was what I was supposed to infer. And I still disagree, frankly. This isn't an issue of equity. For it to be an issue of equity there would have to be groups who require more thank you gifts than others, for some reason, and so some people getting more gifts than other…	/r/MensRights	23/04/21 11:28 AM
0	My coworkers got flowers. I got nothing. .... wh-what? So I was saying that equality issues can broadly be considered rights issues, and... you said... "No it can't. Equality issues are rights issues". But... that's what I said? Just in more definite language. Did you misread my comment?	/r/MensRights	23/04/21 08:49 AM
0	My coworkers got flowers. I got nothing. From the new reddit sidebar: At the most basic level, men's rights are the legal rights that are granted to men. However, any issue that pertains to men's relationship to society is also a topic suitable for this subreddit. Men's rights are influenced by the way men are perceived by others. Subreddits aren't limited to the most constrictive interpretation of their titles. It may not technically be a "rights" issue, in the sense that it's not about some particular passing legislation, but it's st…	/r/MensRights	22/04/21 09:16 AM
3	My coworkers got flowers. I got nothing. Someone being left out of a group thank you because of their gender doesn't seem like a gender issue to you?	/r/MensRights	21/04/21 02:57 PM
4	My coworkers got flowers. I got nothing. Triviality is often directly correlated with emotional investment. The more trivial something is, the more people care. The fact that it's such a minor thing, the fact that it would've cost almost nothing for them to include you in this is exactly why you're upset about it. There's no reason they couldn't have asked you ahead of time if you'd like the roses too, and just to keep the surprise, or else just give you something of equivalent value on the side, if they were sure you wouldn't want the…	/r/MensRights	21/04/21 11:23 AM
0	STUDY finds that women are "significantly" more likely to be verbally and physically abusive to men than vice versa Whatever, troll. I'm done with you. Come back when you actually want to have a genuine debate, and not just devolve into ad hominem, and "He SaId ThE wOrD FeElInG iN oNe SeNtEnCe. FeElInGs BaD!!". Seriously, if you're a real person, and you genuinely believe you've been rational, and objective in this debate... good god, you need to take a long look at yourself.	/r/MensRights	17/04/21 12:05 PM
0	STUDY finds that women are "significantly" more likely to be verbally and physically abusive to men than vice versa Jesus, okay, now I'm sure you're a troll. You were questioning my intentions about why I was criticising this particular study. That is a question about my internal motives, my feelings. You attack my feelings, I describe them to you, and you go for the "Feels over reals" argument. Motherfucker wants to talk to me about objectivity, and bias, when you've got ad hominem and bad faith arguments coming out the ears.	/r/MensRights	17/04/21 11:52 AM
0	STUDY finds that women are "significantly" more likely to be verbally and physically abusive to men than vice versa Ok, so when you claimed that you critique all studies and methodologies in this way you were actually lying... ... I'm sorry, did you think I literally meant that I have been on forums talking about every study and critiquing them all, as opposed to the far more obvious interpretation of "If such a study is put before more, I would criticise it in the same way". If you show me a feminist study that used the same methodology as this one, I would criticise it in the exact same way. Again, sorry I …	/r/MensRights	17/04/21 11:16 AM
1	STUDY finds that women are "significantly" more likely to be verbally and physically abusive to men than vice versa Ok, now you're finally being consistent. If you don't trust anything people say then that's fair enough. Motherfucker, I was being consistent the whole time. If you thought that I was somehow endorsing male control theory, again, that's your biases. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I didn't say at any point "Oh, this study is rubbish, but man, those F E M I N I S T studies before hand that used the same methods were all great!" If you thought that was my position, you were the one who put th…	/r/MensRights	17/04/21 10:29 AM
0	STUDY finds that women are "significantly" more likely to be verbally and physically abusive to men than vice versa They've differentiated between men and women. Which makes it appear as though the data was gathered, and applies to all age ranges, yes. Because they were doing a study between men and women. No, it was done between male and female students. Not just men and women. Just because it's technically correct that the study was about men vs women, that doesn't make it an accurate description. Furthermore, the study was open to people up to the age of 71. The study was open to people older than that, bu…	/r/MensRights	17/04/21 10:23 AM
0	STUDY finds that women are "significantly" more likely to be verbally and physically abusive to men than vice versa They defined the severity and types of violence. Actually read the study and stop speculating. You’re being lazy. I'm gonna start with this part, because I want to acknowledge that you actually have a point with this one. I will grant you, I haven't read the study in it's entirety. It was very late at night when I made the comment, and I think most of it holds true regardless of the specifics of how the questions were answered. I did try and find just where the damn questions were, to see how ex…	/r/MensRights	17/04/21 09:32 AM
10	STUDY finds that women are "significantly" more likely to be verbally and physically abusive to men than vice versa Couple things worth noting. The average age of the participants is pretty damn young. The majority are in their 20's. It's entirely possible that the relationship with violence changes over time, or is a function of growing up in different times. I don't think it's that farfetched that older men might be m In which case you really couldn't extrapolate this out to all people. At best you could just say that it's true for young people. And also the results were obtained via a questionnaire. Which …	/r/MensRights	17/04/21 01:32 AM
3	What would happen if no men showed up for work tomorrow? You know, people sometimes make posts where they're confused about why MRA's in general, and this sub more specifically, get a bad rap... and then someone linking from fucking "femoid.com" gets 900+ upvotes. Shit like this is why, guys.	/r/MensRights	12/04/21 09:25 AM
2	Sudden memes about missandry This feels very much like availability bias. I suspect probably the exact same percentage of feminists speak out against misandry, as MRA's that speak out against misogyny (which, frankly, in both cases isn't that many). You almost certainly just see more of the latter than the former, and so think that means it happens more often, but your anecdotal experience not necessarily a reflection of reality.	/r/MensRights	31/03/21 05:58 PM
27	Change the Sexual Offences Act so women can be charged with rape against men Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's worth noting that the current wording doesn't just exclude women from raping men, but also women from raping other women. Granted the later is probably less frequent (I haven't checked, but I'd assume so), but the point is the law needs to cover all bases. It's just as important that female victims of female rapists are represented in the law as male victims of female rapists. If the purpose of the petition is to represent all possible victims properly, …	/r/MensRights	18/03/21 09:46 PM
4	I hate my life Here's my suggestion, if you're regularly looking at places that talk about this stuff. Stop. That includes this sub. Even places like this that are ostensibly pro-male, boost the voices of people who are anti-male. You don't need that shit in your life, especially not at your age. Anger is actually the emotion that's mostly likely to get people to click something, so I know it can be really hard not to, but seeing that shit takes a toll on your mental health. I spent years looking on some subre…	/r/MensRights	15/03/21 06:49 PM
0	Why are there so in this subreddit 'upset' with women? /r/MensLib might be more your speed. It's a lot slower in terms of the amount of stuff that gets posted there, but there's a lot less fluff as well.	/r/MensRights	16/02/21 11:46 PM
1	Do you think transgender women are treated as expendable in society as cis men are? ... do you think straight and cis mean the same things? Because... they absolutely do not. Straight means you're attracted to people of the opposite gender, cis means you identify with the gender you were assigned at birth. You can be gay and cis, and you can be straight and trans. And I'm pretty sure you're wrong, because I went and looked it up, but regardless, even if women is the majority, that just means I change it from "man" to "woman". The argument doesn't change. Just because something …	/r/MensRights	15/02/21 11:10 PM
1	Do you think transgender women are treated as expendable in society as cis men are? Good god, how you managed to fill such a small comment with such a huge amount of bollocks is really quite impressive. This is gonna take me a while. No word is necessary to describe the normal in that manner. This is such an unbelievably idiotic stance, that I honestly don't even know how you can believe it. There are hundreds of terms that refer to the majority of people. If there's a group of people who are going to be talked about, we need terms to describe them. Most people are straight, do…	/r/MensRights	15/02/21 09:04 PM
2	Do you think transgender women are treated as expendable in society as cis men are? Well first off, all terms are made up. Secondly, "straight" is also a term to describe the majority group, but I'll bet you don't have an issue with that? Even though it's used as a derogatory term by the exact same people that would use "cis" as a derogatory term. Because you almost certainly only see it being used as derogatory, your perceive it that way. I watch a lot of left-wing youtubers who talk about this stuff, and I don't perceive it as remotely derogatory because they're using it for …	/r/MensRights	15/02/21 02:44 PM
6	Do you think transgender women are treated as expendable in society as cis men are? I think there's something to be said that transphobia is often rooted in sexism. The bathroom issue almost always revolves around transwomen in women's bathrooms, and never transmen in men's bathrooms. Because transphobes view transwomen as "not real women", and therefore men, and since they're men they must be dangerous sexual hungry perverts, because that's basically how society sees men. That being said, I don't think you can remotely draw an equivalence between the level of bigotry transwome…	/r/MensRights	14/02/21 10:39 PM

-3	UK: Teacher sacked from Eton over anti-feminist video could be banned from teaching for life And even if it was made for his students, it's an absolute mess structurally. Just because lots of lectures are bad doesn't mean a bad lecture is exempt from criticism. I don't see how that changes anything about the terrible presentation.	/r/MensRights	09/02/21 05:04 PM

1	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. ... you literally did assume something... You said "you have no problem linking things like rape to men." When I do have a problem with that. You made an assumption, and you were completely wrong. That's irrefutable. How you're convincing yourself that this was you "calling me out on my bullshit", when I have proof that you were wrong is... utterly beyond me. I'm not spending any more time on you, dude.

You made an assumption about me, I proved it wrong, and made reference to the assumption you made. That's not a victim complex, what drugs are you on? You do know that telling someone their opinion doesn't matter because of their skin color is racist right?? You know the context of that was about tribalism, a well known effect.

I've made my position plenty clear, and I don't feel much like repeating myself. I do want to point out one, frankly hilarious, thing you said though. you have no problem linking things like rape to men. If you had actually read the other comments I made, you would have seen the one where I literally complained about the fact that the UK definition of rape explicitly makes it a male crime. But that doesn't…	/r/MensRights	17/01/21 07:40 PM
2	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. And this is exactly what all the ruckus is about, the whole post is shitty towards men for being men. They were the one gendering it, because they wanted it to be about gender. Nothing in that post was about men being men. The only one you could slightly argue was about men being men, was the "confronting toxic masculinity" one, and even then, only if you misunderstand and think that term means "it's toxic to be masculine" which it doesn't. Being unkind or uncaring, being sexist, disrespecting w…	/r/MensRights	17/01/21 03:53 PM
2	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. Oh shit, yeah, I remember seeing a tweet recently where a guy was saying that if you're a guy, it's gay to find animals cute... fuckin' crazy. Animals are adorable, and it sure doesn't have shit to do with sexuality or gender. And yeah, just to circle back a bit, that is the kind of thing people describe as "toxic masculinity".	/r/MensRights	17/01/21 03:07 AM
0	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. You didn't listen to anything I said. You only responded to the most minor fragments of my comment, and not the overall point. Including, again, the very large part where I agreed that it's most appropriate to use privilege in a group sense, and not an individual one. If I'd have said "so it's tough to say if it would've been worse" I'd understand your outrage, but I even accepted the possibility that it would've been the same, or even better. You've chosen to take the worst interpretation of my…	/r/MensRights	17/01/21 03:03 AM

And I want to make it clear that I'm doing my best to be compassionate here, what you went through is awful, and if it sounds like I'm implying anything else, I hope you'll believe me when I say it's not intentional. Now, firstly, and most importantly, I need to point out that I did actually agree with that other guy that it would be more appropriate to talk about privilege at the group level, rather than an individual level, where the large sample can smooth …	/r/MensRights	17/01/21 02:17 AM
4	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. Oh definitely. Honestly, that's my main goal. Even if no one is convinced of an argument, an understanding of the argument is still extremely valuable. Ah, well, forgive me if I over explain because you do know about this, and just didn't recognise the reference. Back in 2010, Hasbro started airing a cartoon called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and... bizarrely, tons of guys, including myself, ended up really liking it.

-1	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. Then we should stop applying it to all men, as the original post implies. We're applying averages to individuals now based on the traits they were born with? I get where you're coming from, and the thought crossed my mind as I was trying to explain it, but here's the thing, over the course of a life, averages are valid even to an individual. At some point in your life you will have had a better experience due to your gender. Even if that just means that you didn't have a worse experience. I thin…	/r/MensRights	17/01/21 12:28 AM
2	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. Believe me, it's easy to get into that mindset. It took me a long ass time to actually open up to these kinds of posts myself, after spending so long on places like TumblrInAction. You really do start to pre-empt an attack, and there's just no way to have an honest conversation with someone if either of you (or heaven-forbid, both) are assuming the other is trying to attack you for who you are.	/r/MensRights	17/01/21 12:03 AM
3	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. Honestly, I agree with everything you just said. I hate the tropes in media that portray men as morons, and women as the voice of reason. If I ever have a son, I'd worry for his mental health due to the people who do generalise all men, and who are extremely toxic to men when they talk about women's issues. Hell, I don't have to worry about my future son, that's a thing that affects me. Seeing all that stuff hurts, it makes you feel like shit for being a man, and that's bullshit, and needs to st…	/r/MensRights	16/01/21 11:37 PM
0	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. The post is bigoted because not only does it attempt to justify the sexist belittlement in the form of "not all men" but it does such by gendering the idea that "shitty people exist and do shitty things". Firstly, shitty people doing shitty things is a gendered issue when people do shitty things on the basis of gender. They didn't gender it, it already was gendered. And I honestly don't know what you mean by "sexist belittlement". I can only speak for myself I suppose, but I didn't feel even sli…	/r/MensRights	16/01/21 11:26 PM
1	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. Well, I'll respect your consistency then. But I disagree that it's "gender attacking" to point out that there are too many sexist men. There are. And it's going to be a lot easier for men to stop other men from being sexist than it'll be for women to stop men from being sexist. People are more open to criticism when it comes from someone they feel is a part of their in-group. So we all pretend that the problems don't exist, or reject the truth that some men are sexist, because it was expressed i…	/r/MensRights	16/01/21 11:07 PM
-9	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. I believe you've misunderstood those terms. Not that I blame you, basically everyone does. Privilege does not mean that all men have it better than all women, it doesn't mean that no men can suffer immensely, it refers to the aspects of life in which men, on average, do better than women. Which exist. You can't deny there is inequality between the sexes. Toxic masculinity is pretty simply just the toxic aspects of masculinity, or those aspects when they are taken to a toxic degree. They're both …	/r/MensRights	16/01/21 11:00 PM
-3	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. Yeah, there's a good chance you would get shit for it. But that doesn't mean it would be wrong. A "not all women" post could be just as valid at calling out the sexist ways that some women treat men as this "not all men" post is at calling out the sexist ways that some men treat women. If you think the former would be okay, but the latter isn't, you're just as much of a hypocrite as the people you are okay with the latter, and not the former.	/r/MensRights	16/01/21 10:47 PM

"Not all men" is pretty often used as a shield to ignore the problems women face, and in plenty of cases it can be justified to use it, if their stating it in a way that generalises all men. But ultimately, those problems still exist, whether they were expressed in a sexist way or not. The point of the post was to make that clear to the kinds of people who only use "not all men" as a shield, and not as a legitimate way of calling out sexism toward m…	/r/MensRights	16/01/21 10:39 PM
-13	Twox once again defending and this case doubling down on their bigotry. Nothing in that post is bigoted. It absolutely is bigoted to imply that all men do these things, but this post does the exact opposite. It's acknowledging the very reason that "Not all men" became an argument, because it isn't all men. But the important point is that it is still some men. And not an insignificant number of either. If you really find it offensive to be told that there are men out there who disrespect women, that are sexist, who don't do their fair share, etc, you're burying your …	/r/MensRights	16/01/21 10:27 PM

1	Self awareness of individual activists ... wh-what on Earth are you talking about? I'm genuinely baffled by this comment. What exactly do you think I'm saying? Because that isn't remotely a response to it. Nothing about what you said makes gender equality a zero sum game. That's an example of discrimination against men. That's it. Nothing about that makes it a zero sum game. Do you think I'm saying men's rights aren't important or something? Do you understand what a zero sum game even is?	/r/MensRights	23/12/20 10:05 AM
1	Self awareness of individual activists It literally isn't. A zero sum game is one in which, for one player to win, another player has to lose by the same amount (i.e the sum of the players scores is zero). There's absolutely nothing stopping everyone having gender equality. If, for example, there ends up being more female movie directors, there's nothing stopping men also getting equality in criminal sentencing. If all players stand to gain, then it isn't a zero sum game.	/r/MensRights	22/12/20 10:02 AM

Yep,feminism is desperately needed in india,africa,china,but not america or canada.It’s still needed there,but not to the extent it is right now. I think you contradicted yourself a little there, you said the US and Canada don't need feminism, but then you said they do, just not to the same extent as those other countries.

I mean, I thought that during the last comment, but even more so now. Is this relevant in some way, or are you just asking me my opinion on what someone said in a blog post separately from the rest of the conversation?	/r/MensRights	20/12/20 08:39 PM
1	Some of that toxic masculinity working at young age. A 7 year old boy saves his sister from burning home. Okay, you're still largely arguing against the term itself, while my whole comment was about the meaning of the term, and I already agreed with you that a better term would be nice. Toxic attitude is okay, but is too broad, and refers to toxic behaviour of individuals. The whole point of toxic masculinity/femininity is to talk about the toxic behaviours as they relate to gender norms in society. Telling someone they can't be tired because you just got off a really long shift is a toxic attitude,…	/r/MensRights	20/12/20 08:19 PM
8	This lady tells that men should be kept at home and women go out and enjoy.. So I watched the whole thing, the bit where she says that is here for those interested. That's the only time she says it, and at least to me it comes off as a sarcastic idea. Honestly I think the more harmful thing she says comes just beforehand, talking about how boys are taught to be strong physically, as well as have dominant character traits. She says this in contrast to the way girls are taught to be diminutive and weak, and the implication is that how girls are taught is bad, but the way b…	/r/MensRights	20/12/20 07:29 PM
1	Some of that toxic masculinity working at young age. A 7 year old boy saves his sister from burning home. I think you're making a valid point, but you're mixing things up a bit. I agree that toxic masculinity is a bad term, and should be replaced, and honestly I think that goes for a lot of terms in identity politics. But the important point is that the meaning would be identical. Negro doesn't mean anything different to "black person" (or African-American for the US), it's just a more acceptable way to taking about the exact same thing.

2	Stupid Irish law That was the intent behind the question yeah, but they still asked the question, so I'm not sure why you said "no". At any rate, crimes mostly being committed in a particular way is not an argument against updating the wording to include the more fringe cases. You can imagine a law that only classifies stabbings only when they were done with knives, but even if 99.9% of stabbings are done by knives, the law should still extend to other sharp objects. It often goes unsaid but a lot of these outda…	/r/MensRights	20/12/20 11:58 AM
6	Stupid Irish law This is one of those questions to be that seems so obviously ridiculous that one shouldn't even need an example to disprove it. You're genuinely asking if, in the history of Ireland's existence, there has been a single instance of a woman having sex with a man without that man's consent?	/r/MensRights	20/12/20 10:44 AM

Nothing in that person's comment discredited what the boy did, in fact, if you read it properly they specifically said it was a good thing: Grow up and stop using good things to defend the unacceptable /u/WhatIsYourLegacy was very clearly making the point that toxic masculinity does not mean "all things masculine are toxic".

1	A quick thought and a question even the non stereotypical feminists looking ones. despite us knowing otherwise A good place to start is probably to not generalise people, and more importantly, not to presume that you are already correct. If you and your opponent both go into a debate with complete certainty that your respective positions are 100% correct, then no one's opinion will be changed by the end of it. It'll be an utterly pointless fight. You won't bother listening to their arguments, you'll dismiss them out of hand, …	/r/MensRights	15/12/20 12:42 AM
-4	If feminists actually believed in the theory behind toxic masculinity, they would support the men's rights movement. MRAs are giving men a voice and a safe space to express themselves. The fake term “toxic masculinity”(which doesn’t exist) You can't just claim terms don't exist because you don't like them. It very obviously is a real term, even if you disagree with the concept. And even then, I'd be willing to bet you don't actually disagree with the concept, it's just a shitty name that's easily misunderstood (even by people using it) to mean "men bad". The fact that you're happy to use the phrase "toxic femininity" is pretty much proof of that.	/r/MensRights	15/12/20 12:03 AM

Security footage proves otherwise Words hurt nothing but your ego I genuinely don't understand how you can be this naive. And yes, a hit can kill someone, but if you're going to be like that, words can kill people too. Say something shocking enough and you can give someone with a dodgy ticker a heart attack if you try hard enough. It's not remotely in the majority of cases though.

1	Three black girls attack a white man on the bus and later accuse him of assault and racism. Security footage proves otherwise A civilian punching another civilian, over what the second civilian said is absolutely a social consequence. It's not "just" a social consequence, but it is one. And the point is that freedom of speech doesn't cover social consequences and shouldn't do. And whether or not it is one isn't the issue at hand here anyway. Maybe "justifiable" isn't the correct word, but it can certainly be understandable.

You can't say you're glad your mate's mum died, and then cry "freedom of speech, bro" when all your friends suddenly start hating you. It covers you from governmental consequences. Everything your talking about here does not apply to the conversation we're having. Again, they're "controlling" you either way.

0	Three black girls attack a white man on the bus and later accuse him of assault and racism. Security footage proves otherwise Saying "mere words" massively downplays the power of words. Because words aren't meaningless, they can cause real harm, and sometimes it's enough harm that it's worth punching someone over. Again, not often, maybe only 1 out of a hundred, but it still happens. As for your point about giving the person power over you, this honestly doesn't make sense. You're essentially saying that your choice to hit them over just standing there and letting it happen is them controlling you, but standing there w…	/r/MensRights	07/04/20 09:56 AM

Security footage proves otherwise It's not common, I'll grant that, but words absolutely can be justification for violence. Extreme racism for one.

Say something terrible enough and people will start hitting you, that doesn't necessarily make them the instigators for making it physical. and the eyewitnesses saying that they were the aggressors Eyewitnesses are notoriously untrustworthy.

1	Three black girls attack a white man on the bus and later accuse him of assault and racism. Security footage proves otherwise I like the part where they explicitly said at the end of the video that the videos don't make it clear what happened, yet the title of this post literally says that it "proves" the girls otherwise. Assuming the guilt of these girls without sufficient evidence is just as bad as assuming the guilt of those men. We can't tell either way.	/r/MensRights	06/04/20 06:25 PM
2	Woman reacts to having to pay child support to single Dad Just to check I'm reading this right. If a mother needs to pay a father, they only get the amount they're supposed to 34% of the time, but if a father needs to pay a mother, they do it 42% of the time? Sure, the mum's are worse at it, but if you're going to say "women rarely do it", those percentages are close enough that it's fair to say men rarely do it too.	/r/MensRights	06/04/20 06:14 PM

2	A tweet outlining feminist dishonesty. "The patriarchy" does exist, but that's because it's basically the label for "everything bad about culture that relates to gender". Is there a thing in culture? Is it something to do with gender inequality? Hooray! That's the patriarchy for you! Let's blame men for modern culture when it's bad. Because I guess 50% of the currently living population is solely responsible for it. Definitely isn't a thing we were all born into, and all take part in or anything.

Don't buy from misandrists, don't buy Gillette 100%, by a country mile, the primary aim of the advert was to sell more Gillette, far beyond any other "moral" aim. And I don't know, but I'm guessing their stocks took a hit after that given all the bad publicity. But if I had to guess the moral message it's largely trying to portray isn't even necessarily "anti-sexism". In the "good shit you should be doing" portion of the ad, I'd say there were 6 instances of "the good shit". 2 were basically calling people out for catcalling (which is fair t…	/r/MensRights	28/01/20 12:31 AM

Of course, I never meant to imply that people weren't entitled to be outraged, just that I disagreed that they should be. Apologies if that wasn't clear.

Because I think stopping mates from catcalling, stopping kids from beating each other up, and raising your daughters confidence are all pretty similar levels. Granted, murder was the strongest part of yours, but you're the one that put it in there.

The most you could argue that way is the bit where he makes his kids stop punching each other, which is hardly a bad thing. Plenty of manly men types don't get in fist fights (Ron Swanson, I'm looking at you).

Don't buy from misandrists, don't buy Gillette I think people had a visceral reaction to the first half of the advert which does portray men as uncaring, misogynistic, sexual harassers, and ignored the latter half where there are plenty of men not doing any of that. Over all the advert was just a normal "be better" kind of advert, and I don't think that's unfair. A lot of men are still sexist. Not all, not even a majority, I don't believe, but it still happens. I don't think there's anything majorly wrong with trying to address it.	/r/MensRights	27/01/20 03:30 PM
