| 1 | Has anyone else noticed how it's becoming more common for feminists to claim that they care about men's issues too, when there is an abundance of evidence that shows otherwise?I can't comment on those RAINN statistics but I like them as an organization. Their programs are all staffed by both genders, and provide service to both genders, which helps women realize that all men aren't evil and you don't need to be insulated from them in order to receive service. On the other hand, men in many communities are FORCED to work with women because there aren't male service providers around. | /r/MensRights | 20/12/15 04:24 AM |
| 1 | Strawman: "What are MRAs doing about X"Yes, bringing attention to them has achieved more for me than feminism has for men but women have achieved more for things like sexual violence against women than we have, and they continue to do so. | /r/MensRights | 26/11/15 02:05 AM |
| – | Concerning Ontario's Proposed Sexual Violence ActI read the bill, and it states primarily that colleges and universities are required to have sexual violence response policies and involve student input. The content of those policies is not prescribed, and Colleges Ontario already provides a template policy (that I actually helped draft) that most colleges and universities have accepted similar versions of. The template policy deflects the investigation of the crime and penalty to the police and court system, as they should be, and only attempt… | /r/MensRights | 25/11/15 05:46 AM |

Go check out your local jurisdiction's medical ethics board.

| 0 | Doctor has sex with 2 patients, gets 3 month suspension; starts new job 20 miles awaySex with patients is tantamount to sexual abuse. She should lose her license. Edit: Thanks for the downvotes there kids. In the US you automatically lose your license. | /r/PussyPass | 18/10/15 10:59 PM |
| – | Campus speaker touting men’s rights has fire alarm pulled on her - The College FixProper reporting of sexual assaults against men and strengthening Title IX protections so that men can't get kicked off campus for resembling a rapist or without an investigation because she-said (and he said nothing because she gets a lawyer and he's not allowed even a non-attorney advocate.) | /r/MensRights | 03/10/15 06:38 PM |
| 5 | "Living is a cruelty to girls" - I don't really have a responseMen are more likely to be the victims of all crime (including sexual assault if you count prison rape.) This is an important counterpoint. Women claim to be scared about being raped while they're out, while I'm scared about being robbed and beaten which is just as big a violation. | /r/MensRights | 06/07/15 03:51 AM |

| – | A girl did something to me when I was a kid and I feel like it's fucked up my life. I've never talked about it, but I would like to share to try and understand what to do nextAbsolutely, it's almost an instinct for people to try and give others perspective by showing how their situation could be worse. But pain is pain, and it's relative. That may well have been the biggest emotional pain in your life to date, so it's natural that it would have a devastating impact on the rest of your life. Therapists have to "meet you where you're at"; plenty of people in therapy have issues with things the therapist doesn't think are a problem. Their goal is to understand what it m… | /r/MensRights | 05/07/15 06:03 AM |
| – | A girl did something to me when I was a kid and I feel like it's fucked up my life. I've never talked about it, but I would like to share to try and understand what to do nextYou were sexually assaulted. Most children who are sexually assaulted have exactly the same thoughts. People enjoy this, my abuser seems to enjoy this, why don't I? I'm so sorry you went through that. It doesn't sound like you've had any support your entire life about it. A lack of intimacy is common in someone who has been violated like that. It sounds like you're worried about people telling you to get over it, or that what you went through wasn't that bad. You didn't consent, anymore than a 1… | /r/MensRights | 05/07/15 05:37 AM |
| 1 | The corruption of research on domestic violenceThere is a good reason for not dropping charges in abuse cases, because intimidated partners (of both genders) will often return to an abusive home only to die later. For an example where the shoe was on the other foot, see the man in Australia who was stabbed by his girlfriend with the intent to kill him. She was released because he declined to press charges. | /r/MensRights | 05/07/15 05:12 AM |
| 4 | "Sexual Assault Advocacy & Crisis Line Training Guide"Men get three pages (starting on 227) out of 339. Admittedly, those sections are written very well (they were a selection from a different resource that was shoe-horned in), until the section on anger, which teaches the advocate how to assess risk that he'll kill the person who assaulted him. I note that the sections on women have no similar discussion. Edit: Warren Farrell also makes an appearance in a very unflattering light.

| 3 | Advice on how to start a Men's Rights group where you are (thread)I'm really curious how the undercover piece went. Was it accurate, did it paint the MRM in a bad light, did the journalist apologize? | /r/MensRights | 29/06/15 06:38 AM |
| 2 | Advice on how to start a Men's Rights group where you are (thread)Would you be willing to share your general location and see if you can find others close to you? When you do meet, I'd actually poll the initial group for ideas about what they (and you) want their membership to accomplish. Some groups may want to advocate for change in laws, some may want to directly intervene (e.g. fundraising for a men's shelter), some may want to do research on the state of men's issues in your area, and so on. Once you have an idea what the people who are showing up want to… | /r/MensRights | 29/06/15 03:18 AM |
| – | What can we learn from feminism?You're right, the suffrage movement was not feminist, my mistake. The second wave of feminism (the official movement under the name of feminism) was the early 60s. | /r/MensRights | 28/06/15 02:11 AM |
| – | What can we learn from feminism?CAFE has issues because of the kind of anti-feminism I'm seeing in this thread. Until they become solely "pro men" instead of anti-feminist they'll continue to get attacked. | /r/MensRights | 28/06/15 02:10 AM |
| – | What can we learn from feminism?When there were a lot of sexist policies and women were truly oppressed, the kind of pointless shouting you see today wouldn't (and didn't) work. Organizing and lobbying, grassroots activism were actually necessary skills. Why aren't we forming lobby groups, social service agencies, think tanks? Look at the history of rape crisis centres. Consciousness raising, "a group of people attempting to focus the attention of a wider group of people on some cause or condition" Edit: And yes, later they de… | /r/MensRights | 27/06/15 02:11 AM |
| – | What can we learn from feminism?My point is the systemic discrimination and the culture attitudes have largely been broken down. Yes, feminism is almost irrelevant. Almost. But that doesn't mean they haven't learned a thing or two about how to get their voices heard. We need to learn how to do the same thing if we ever want to make progress. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/15 02:00 AM |
| – | What can we learn from feminism?Are they really opposed though? Women want better handling for sexual assault cases where women are the victim. Men want better handling for sexual assault cases where men are the victim. Neither are opposed to the other getting what they want but feminists are only working for the advancement of their own gender. That's not a bad thing, but it does mean that if we as men don't join together and work on our own issues nobody else will. | /r/MensRights | 26/06/15 11:01 PM |
| – | What can we learn from feminism?You're being deliberately obtuse. Feminists (the good kind) are working to overturn obscenity laws that punish women for selling sex toys, improving the handling of real sexual assault cases (e.g. getting the several year backlog of rape kits in the US processed), activism over victim blaming, all sorts of things. Just because men are lacking in similar areas doesn't mean that women don't need the advocacy too. We just have to recognize that although their goals may not be diametrically opposed … | /r/MensRights | 26/06/15 10:21 PM |
| – | What can we learn from feminism?Feminism advocates for the rights of women as a gender, sometimes at the expense of - but usually simply ignoring - the rights of men. That makes it pro-women in general, even if some women are damaged by it. | /r/MensRights | 26/06/15 09:55 PM |
| 3 | What can we learn from feminism?As far as social services: most of these services were originally volunteer run, before incorporating as a non-profit after a couple years of operation (thus being able to determine positive outcomes), before finally getting formal funding from a grantmaker, government and so on. So the first step to someone interesting in forming an organization like that (and I would suggest the simplest to form would be a legal advocacy group like this one that exists in various forms in virtually every commu… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/15 09:52 PM |
| 1 | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?Yes, but Australia's suicide rate is half of the United States' rate. Suicide is a complex issue, but means restrictions was only one option, and despite it being very controversial here is a standard part of a safety plan that very few people have an issue with. For those who don't know, Australia actually has a MensLine (I don't know if you're familiar with it), and Psychologists are covered under Medicaid/nationalized healthcare. So I'm not sure what in particular causes the 11.0 per 100,000 … | /r/MensRights | 22/06/15 03:32 PM |
| 2 | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?They're a feminist organization, so they work with women only. They acknowledge men are victims/survivors too but they ask them to seek support elsewhere. Unfortunately there is no "elsewhere", the only crisis line for male survivors of sexual violence is an information and referral line that hooks you up with counselling. | /r/MensRights | 22/06/15 03:08 PM |

| – | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?Nobody "decides" it but the person who owns the gun and their family. No legislation is invoked here, it's part of the conversation about taking away pills and other lethal means that happens with the family of someone who is suicidal. This isn't new, it's done all the time. It's just not done consistently even when the protocols indicate that it should be. | /r/MensRights | 22/06/15 02:00 AM |
| – | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?As I've said three times on this thread, we're talking about reducing access to guns to people who are suicidal, not just blindly taking guns away from people. | /r/MensRights | 22/06/15 01:54 AM |
| 0 | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?In that situation, lethal means counselling would focus on pills, like it does in Canada which also has strict gun ownership laws. The more important part of this conversation is that men are not being screened and assessed for suicide - and when they are, there's no conversation about them limiting their access. | /r/MensRights | 22/06/15 12:56 AM |
| 1 | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?Having families of suicidal people lock their guns up and limit the amount of medication they have to a quantity that won't kill them does work. This isn't about passing laws, this is about counselling people to make decisions about their own safety. | /r/MensRights | 22/06/15 12:48 AM |
| – | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?The point is to restrict suicidal people from having guns. Not to take them away from random people who might later pose a threat. | /r/MensRights | 22/06/15 12:41 AM |
| 1 | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?I actually have reached out to them but they have no interest in supporting men :( | /r/MensRights | 22/06/15 12:15 AM |
| 2 | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?Unfortunately my area doesn't have any men's programs. They identify as a feminist organization and support biological women and transwomen only after reassignment surgery. I'd like to start something to support male victims of sexual violence, but it's challenging. | /r/MensRights | 21/06/15 11:57 PM |
| 1 | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?Can I ask, what laws in particular are you referring to? | /r/MensRights | 21/06/15 11:54 PM |
| – | Can we focus on solutions for a moment?EDIT: To the people who are PMing me and replying with gun control posts, I'm talking about reducing access of suicidal people to weapons in countries where firearm suicides are common, and pills in countries where overdoses are common. Put down your rifles for a minute and READ. You're missing the point. Reducing access to guns reduces the amount of dead people because guns are the most popular form of suicide in the US. If the people who would normally pick up a gun to kill themselves have to … | /r/MensRights | 21/06/15 10:51 PM |
