| 1 | What are some good counter arguments to 'men are responsible for their own problems and not feminists'?Harmful physical practices that women and girls suffer from in some third-world countries, like breast-ironing, manual FGM etc. are mostly performed by older women on the victims. Does that mean it is fine to not be concerned for the victim? And does that stop women from discussing it? Internalised misogyny duh /s (If it's actually internalised misogyny then they'e implying that women don't have any conscience of their own and no autonomy over their own thoughts). Should Black-on-Black crimes be… | /r/MensRights | 08/08/26 08:19 PM |
| 1 | Men's rights advocates, do you want others to CALL themselves MRA ?Depends. God forbid someone like Andrew Tate calls themselves MRA. It's more about showing inclination to support the welfare of boys and men than identifying with the label. I don't care if they call themselves MRA or not if they show that inclination. | /r/MensRights | 08/08/26 05:48 PM |
| 3 | Anyone else sick of this attitude?Even if they actually said men are the reason many women behave badly they're only implying that women are incapable of thinking for themselves and have no self-respect or autonomy over their own behaviour. | /r/MensRights | 07/08/26 07:59 AM |
| 41 | The “manosphere” moral panic is stupid and it really just boils down to men not doing what feminists want.'Incel' an insult to virgins, which is the majority of men under 30. It's like saying a man is less valuable if a woman hasn't fucked him yet (or he hasn't fucked a woman yet). | /r/MensRights | 06/08/26 05:18 AM |
| 2 | The “manosphere” moral panic is stupid and it really just boils down to men not doing what feminists want.But what do you mean by the manosphere? Because people use manosphere as a blanket term for almost everything tbh, mgtow, MRM etc. they're essentially saying that there's no difference between the average person on this sub-reddit and Andrew Tate and a man that just recognises the legal risks of marrying, because the word inherently has a negative connotation. That said, I don't think Andrew Tate or anybody like him for that matter, is an MRA or claims to be one. He's indoctrinating lonely and h… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/26 05:07 AM |

| 5 | EqualityNietzsche's writings popularised the term 'ressentiment', and I think that's so apt in that it describes how they think, feminists especially. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/26 08:45 PM |
| 1 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentShe's a feminist troll that lurks on every subreddit not associated with feminism. That confirms we don't have to take her seriously | /r/MensRights | 04/08/26 07:14 PM |
| 1 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentThat user's statement isn't meaningful in any sense, not is it relevant to the post. I don't think we should take it seriously. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/26 04:17 PM |
| 1 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentI never said there is no cognitive difference in individual domains, there certainly is. The above stat talks about overall brain development, not individual domains. For example boys do better in spatial rotation as you said, and girls do better in fine motor skills. And obviously men have larger brains but that's got nothing to do with intelligence. Blue whales have larger brain than humans, for instance. Also, IQ averages are the same because they are designed to be the same across gender bec… | /r/MensRights | 04/08/26 04:05 PM |
| 2 | Is the “man vs bear” thing some kind of bit?Not only does it dehumanise men, it also caricatures actual issues into useless comparisons like this. For example if one were to ask a boy whether he'd be alone in the woods with a female school teacher or a bear, they are essentially diverting the attention from students being protected from female teachers who SA them, to asking for their preference in a hypothetical situation which is irrelevant. That's essentially what media does. | /r/MensRights | 01/08/26 06:31 PM |
| 1 | Why AI is anti-Male biased.Because media and (much of) academia is anti-male biased and AI models are trained on a lot of that bullshit, I guess. | /r/MensRights | 01/08/26 03:21 PM |
| 2 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentAlso, this is what Wikipedia says: "Prefrontal cortex development: The development of the brain is a lifelong process. Maturity is assessed via structural MRI (gray/white matter volume, cortical thickness), functional MRI (activation patterns), and diffusion tensor imaging (myelination/connectivity). These processes do not peak or end at 25 and no executive function changes are found around this age.[23][24] Development of cognitive functions edit Empirical data on youth risk varies, but individ… | /r/MensRights | 01/08/26 11:22 AM |
| 1 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentWhat are you trying to say I don't get it | /r/MensRights | 01/08/26 06:05 AM |
| 1 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentBut regardless, even though you say it makes sense, just because it makes sense doesn't mean it's true. The research did not support it. | /r/MensRights | 01/08/26 05:11 AM |
| 6 | Is the “man vs bear” thing some kind of bit?I don't see why it should be taken seriously. I don't see the point of the "man vs bear" topic even being discussed on MRA forums. We should stop talking about it. It is not men's job to seek the validation of retarded people and it's not men's job to get them to say they'd rather prefer men over the bear. Media takes it seriously because the media perpetually indulges in the most nonsensical things. They specifically weaponise the fact that these cause outrage and come up with more of it. I thi… | /r/MensRights | 01/08/26 04:37 AM |

| 1 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentThe Leiden University study clearly says that the development trajectory is similar for both boys and girls (no clear overall difference on the slope) and that boys do not undergo delayed maturation (no clear overall difference on the time axis). Myelination and synaptic pruning are two microscopic events on a macroscopic timeline, where the brain is constantly maturing and evolving. Just because the timeline biological processes may differ (and it's not for me to decide whether that is or not) … | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 08:36 PM |
| 2 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentLike, if you mean an environment where their personal needs are met then sure. I think boys learn much better when they're put in a place that encourages more physical activity, kineasthetic learning but that's a more useful thing to say than using a vague term like "brain development". | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 05:13 PM |
| 4 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentThe original post is adding things that aren't even mentioned in the article. They seem to be claiming that their (flawed) interpretation of the article's claims is the only correct understanding. The post mentioned that the male brain does not lag behind in development and does not delay in maturation either, but that person pretended they read just the first statement. They seem to be an infiltrator here but idk. The males and females in the study were of the exact same age group btw. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 01:43 PM |
| 4 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentIt's not just feminists it's also fake MRAs who have contacts with feminists, like Richard Reeves, as well, unfortunately. It wasn't until a while ago that I found out he was being funded by Melinda Gates. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 01:37 PM |
| 2 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentThat's fair, because it's the general consensus that the male brain 'lags'. However, in that particular article the way in which they used 'lag' is objective because they included 270 different brain measures that you could obtain from MRI scans. By the way, you're right that there could be differences in individual cognitive domains but I did not make a single assertion in that regard. And I don't know if they disaggregated that either, so we're just talking overalls here. So that said, they co… | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 01:34 PM |
| 3 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain development"grasping how to handle people around them for their own personal interest" is too specific to be a uniquely recognised cognitive domain. And if we generalise like this we're stooping to the level of feminism so I don't suggest doing that. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 01:14 PM |
| 4 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentThe vast majority of men and women never win Nobel prizes. We're talking about average males and females. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 01:11 PM |
| 4 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentWell no sane person would consider girls becoming wives anymore and this is not the point of what we intended to discuss. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 01:10 PM |
| 2 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentWell I think his intention was to not debate over the historical underperformance of girls but point out the double-standard that when females have it worse it's treated as systemic bias while when males have it worse it's treated as something inevitable and inherent to them. But I agree the other person phrased it a bit awkwardly. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 01:07 PM |
| 2 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentWell, girl's underperformance once upon a time is not the subject of the discussion here because as of today it is a random point in history. I certainly get what you're saying though, that when females have it worse it's treated as a systemic bias while when males have it worse it's treated as something inevitable and inherent to them. I guess you could phrase it that way rather than to debate something that happened in history which is irrelevant today. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 01:05 PM |
| 5 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentI agree with this. What I was speaking against was the claim that boys on average have delayed maturation, which is what the research proved wrong. Obviously school entry models can be flexible but the thing is that based on the wrong notions such as boys lagging behind in brain development altogether they should be redshirted (which is what Reeves was advocating for, which is disastrous, as explained in the video.) | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 08:22 AM |

| 6 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentI mean there is some evidence to say that biological essentialism is acceptable when it favours women: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.bps.org.uk/research-digest/people-are-more-sceptical-sex-difference-research-when-findings-favour-men&ved=2ahUKEwji557FjPyVAxXNTmwGHbqvGsUQFnoECCEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0D1YRNwgyFDptMQMwjmyer | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 04:40 AM |
| 13 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentI took these points and compared them to the Leiden study and here's what I got, also from ChatGPT: The Reddit post mixes together well-supported findings, oversimplifications, and one claim that directly conflicts with the Leiden research. Claim: "Boys' brains develop slower." Leiden University research: Disagrees. Wierenga's team states this is a neuromyth. Boys' and girls' brain development is very similar on average.

| 11 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentWidely established yes, but whether it is factual or not is up for debate I guess. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 04:17 AM |
| 6 | It is a myth that boys lag behind in brain developmentIt is not an argument in the first place. What I wrote on the post was simply an afterthought. The core argument is in the links I sent. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/26 04:11 AM |
