| 1 | I have a question for /r/mensrights.Feminism isn't a philosophy or a study. There are no central tenets and it isn't based on an empirical analysis of the world. It's simply a special interest group acting for political change, and it is defined by the change it actually works towards. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/12 01:09 AM |
| -1 | Chilling recording: Husband: 'Are you going to make something up that I hit you?' Wife: 'Yes, without a doubt.'It doesn't. When you ask people to rate their quality of life before and after major injuries, there's a brief dip while they learn to cope and then they figure out how to deal with it and life goes on. If they were happy before then they'll be happy in a wheelchair or with a hook for a hand or whatever. There's actually a fair amount of research on it with all the soldiers coming back injured and the bad thing is the PTSD, not the physical injuries. Hell, with current technology you can lose a … | /r/MensRights | 12/06/12 10:49 PM |
| 3 | Chilling recording: Husband: 'Are you going to make something up that I hit you?' Wife: 'Yes, without a doubt.'The physical trauma of abuse isn't that significant. Cuts scar over, bones mend and even if you have something really bad like an amputation it doesn't generally effect your quality of life that much. The real issue is the psychological trauma of being abused by a loved one, it's much harder to heal wounds in your head and it tends to represent a huge drop in your quality of life. | /r/MensRights | 12/06/12 01:46 PM |

| 3 | You want privilege? You got it!The major issue with the privilege debate is that it assumes that gender based privileges are constant. White privilege and economic privilege are static enough in western culture that they work, but gender privilege is highly situational. If someone wants to be a stay at home parent, then they're going to be more privileged if they're a woman. If they wanted to be an executive thirty years ago (this is less true now) then a man will be more privileged. There's a tendency to only view this throu… | /r/MensRights | 03/05/12 01:35 AM |
| 1 | Why isn't PUA "game" popular outside the US? What does it say about the US dating culture?A lot of it's the old Catholic/Protestant divide. Going back to the middle ages protestant groups were a lot more likely to look down on physical pleasure and they tended to be bigger on shame. Catholics tended to be more along the lines of "better to ask forgiveness than permission". | /r/seduction | 29/03/12 04:20 PM |
| 1 | Boy, 6, caught playing doctor, is accused of sex assaultI'm not sure how a 6 year old can fulfill the mens rea requirement for something like this. | /r/MensRights | 20/11/11 05:19 AM |
| 2 | Feminist here...The problem with feminism is that there is one word used to describe dozens of things. I don't think anyone here has a problem with the personal philosophy that men and women are equal, for example. There are, however, feminist groups that pursue actions that are against gender equality. I doubt they are deliberately opposing it or anything, it's just that the actual effects of their actions are not helpful. | /r/MensRights | 08/11/11 08:21 PM |
| 3 | Feminist here...IIRC the only studies that don't show at least some amount of symmetry are Crime Victimization Surveys which have known bias problems. | /r/MensRights | 08/11/11 08:04 PM |
| 2 | What percentage of the population believe that a woman is partly to blame for her rape if she is dressed like a slut? (we need this stat).I think the problem is differentiating between "fault" and "consequence". There's always a sequence of events that lead up to the rape that a person with perfect information could avoid, but that doesn't mean that if the person doesn't manage to avoid those events it is their fault. | /r/MensRights | 31/10/11 12:36 AM |
| 6 | Majority of sex workers 'not forced or trafficked': Most foreign prostitutes in London are not trafficked and choose to sell sex because it earns more money than other jobs, a study has found. (xpost from r/libertarian)Yeah, the biggest problem is that a lot of governments criminalize a lot of the activity around prostitution (pimping, buying, prostitution itself) which tends to cause prostitutes to segregate themselves from law enforcement. This isn't really good for anyone. | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 11:51 PM |
| 1 | Why are you against circumcising babies?It's removing tissue with tons of nerves in it that deals with sexual pleasure and it's not their decision. There are no proven benefits and even if there were there's no reason to do something non-reversible like this before they are able to make the judgement on their own. | /r/MensRights | 23/10/11 11:35 PM |
| 2 | Can 2x/1y/mens rights create a better rape law?One of the big things to consider is a mens rea requirement. Right now, the primary criteria seems to be whether someone was raped, but the requirement for a crime should be that someone raped another person. | /r/MensRights | 21/10/11 06:44 AM |
| 6 | Did they get what they deserved? The recent attack by two women of a man at McDonaldsOne could argue he was preventing them from reaching for one of the hundreds of other weapon-usable implements found in a kitchen. You can shoot someone in the back if you believe they're running for a gun. You could argue that, but it would be pretty pointless since going for a "weapon-usable implement" isn't a valid reason to continue the assault. Legally speaking, if someone said that they were going to walk to their house, grab a gun and shoot you and your family and you kill them, that's ho… | /r/MensRights | 18/10/11 12:12 AM |
| 4 | Did they get what they deserved? The recent attack by two women of a man at McDonaldsThere is a principle of proportional response. If a 5 year old swings a foam bat at you then it isn't ok to shoot him in the face even if you think you need to defend yourself. I think he was actually fine in this case because it was two on one. The problem is that he became the aggressor once they were on the ground. | /r/MensRights | 17/10/11 08:51 PM |
| -1 | Did they get what they deserved? The recent attack by two women of a man at McDonaldsNo, under common law you have a right to your body and property and you have a duty to protect it. No, you have a right to your body. It's typically illegal to use lethal force to defend property. This is basic stuff anyone who's been through a concealed carry course should know. He had the right to defend himself with a weapon when they were coming at him, but a fleeing subject is not attempting to cause you harm and you cannot attack them. There is an exception for a fleeing subject with a gun… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/11 08:48 PM |
| 7 | Did they get what they deserved? The recent attack by two women of a man at McDonaldsHe isn't making up an arbitrary rule. There is a standard in law of proportional response for self defense. I think you could make a case that two smaller people attacking you constituted intent to cause loss of life or limb, but without a weapon on their side it's hard to argue that attacking them when they were down was reasonable. | /r/MensRights | 17/10/11 05:22 PM |

| 6 | Myth: The Wage Gap is Caused by Men's Higher Pay for Dangerous JobsThat's just bad research. Dangerous jobs do have a premium or you wouldn't have truck drivers in Iraq being paid $80k a year. The big requirement though is that the job have a reasonable barrier to entry, which agriculture doesn't. When you can hire someone who just jumped a fence you don't pay them extra because the job is dangerous. If he had data on pay differences within the same job in dangerous and safe areas then it would actually be a decent argument. | /r/MensRights | 05/10/11 03:26 PM |

| 2 | Ive mentioned Wendy MccElroy a few times in the past , this is an interesting article , its from a feminist perspective of how modern feminism is damaging and a potential form of feminism that is not based around hatred and bigotry.You generally want to focus special interest groups. It doesn't make sense to call a women's liberation movement masculism and it doesn't make sense to call a mens rights movement feminism. | /r/MensRights | 02/10/11 07:48 PM |

If he had an infectious disease and didn't tell her, and she got sick as a result of having sex with him, is that 'directly related to the sex'? Because the disease was transmitted through sex? Depends on the disease, but taking HIV as the extreme example, yes. This should be contingent on personal knowledge, but if some chick has sex with me and has HIV then I didn't consent to that. You could just as well argue that her having sex with a … | /r/MensRights | 17/09/11 03:58 AM |

| 6 | Another Men vs. Women blog about how Men manipulate women by "Gaslighting"He messed up the definition of gaslighting. It's when you cause someone to doubt their memory or perception, not just "I disagree with your assessment". "I told you earlier to take out the trash" when you were never told that is gaslighting because it forces you to accept their reality and reject your recollection. What he described isn't. | /r/MensRights | 15/09/11 07:00 AM |

| 1 | I have a serious question.Even beyond sentencing black people are pulled over more often and have a lot of other issues. There's a black ex-cop who actually documents a lot of this stuff by using himself and others as decoys, and a black person in the wrong area will be stopped within an hour or so if they do anything remotely suspicious. White people don't have the same problem. I'd agree that part of the problem black men face is that they are seen as having more of the negative traits society perceives in men but that… | /r/MensRights | 10/09/11 01:44 AM |
| 0 | I have a serious question.The simple fact of the matter is that in the west, men are the most oppressed class. And the most important fight is the one to help them. This is slightly off. There are a number of groups like native americans, trans people and the mentally ill that are far worse off than men as a group. I'd also argue that black people are more discriminated against than men because of legal problems. The main thing is that men are often as or more oppressed than women, especially when looking at legal discri… | /r/MensRights | 10/09/11 12:44 AM |
| 1 | Am I allowed to identify as both a Feminist and an MRA?Of course. I don't think that there is a significant amount of legal discrimination against women, but there are issues with women's roles in society and entertainment that need to be dealt with. | /r/MensRights | 08/09/11 03:59 PM |

College argues that "any discriminatory effect [against men] was plainly justifiable".Even Women's Studies classes should be held up to a standard of accuracy. My main problem with the Women's Studies class I took was that either the people in charge of the curriculum were idiots or they were liars. One example was that they said the punishment for Adultery in England was death. This was true for the ten years that the adultery act was in place, but it was repealed when the monarchy came back and I haven't seen an act other than that which made adultery punishable by death (outsi… | /r/MensRights | 06/09/11 06:06 PM |

The story was cool and your dad sounds like a great guy but it isn't a response to a position held here. Nobody argues that all dads have problems. It's like going to r/feminism and posting a story about how you went walking in a bunch of dark alleys and nobody raped you so obviously their position doesn't make sense. It's completely off the mark. | /r/MensRights | 06/09/11 05:36 PM |

It's just an example of how important correct framing is. By emphasizing the fact that some rapists aren't going to jail you're asking a dishonest question.

There's a high social benefit to putting a rapist who will repeat in jail, a small social benefit to putting a rapist who will not repeat in jail and a very high social negative to putting an innocent man in jail.

EDIT: Nobody has an issue with legitimate rapists being put in jail. The problem is that there are legitimate issues with rape accusations, from victims not being able to accurately identify who the rapist was (people misidentify someone they've talked to shortly about 60% of the time and when you add alcohol into that there can be serious issues) to questions of whether consent was given (if sex itself is not questioned) to outright lying. … | /r/MensRights | 02/09/11 10:12 PM |

The hypocrisy of these feminists isn't unique and it should be called out so that the reasonable feminists can see it. | /r/MensRights | 08/08/11 08:45 PM |
| 6 | Should I donate my sperm to a lesbian couple wanting to have a baby? (X-post from /r/AskReddit)It's ultimately the guy's choice but he needs to be aware that he is on the hook if anything they decide to go for child support.

| 5 | Judge rejects the discrimination claims of 3 female wrestlers who had to compete against men of the same weight class in order to make the teamThat being said, I have heard pound for pound, women are stronger than men (but with less total mass leading generally to less strength). Either way, I'm glad they have to be in the same weight class because if I was still wrestling and I had to wrestle up weight classes... That would have been awful. Women are nearly as strong in the legs (the wider hips are slightly less efficient, but not that much) but the upper body is generally at least 30-40% weaker than a man of comparable body mass and … | /r/MensRights | 06/08/11 09:32 PM |

| 1 | "For decades, women have been inundated with unrealistic, thin images in magazines, movies, ads and other media outlets. And now, men are also feeling the pressure for physical perfection, surrounded by unattainable images of muscular physiques, six-pack abs, bulging biceps and lean bodies."A tall/skinny guy who goes on a 4000 calorie diet and starts lifting is going to gain fat. Say you're skinny at 150lbs, so we'll assume 10% body fat. That means you have 15 lbs of fat. If you gained 50 lbs, and 10 lbs of that was muscle then probably 25lbs is going to be fat. That would put you at 40 lbs of fat at 200 lbs, which would put you at the image below which isn't cut but does have visible muscle definition. http://musclebomb.com/nyc_personal_trainer_blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/anth… | /r/MensRights | 31/07/11 02:46 AM |
| 1 | "For decades, women have been inundated with unrealistic, thin images in magazines, movies, ads and other media outlets. And now, men are also feeling the pressure for physical perfection, surrounded by unattainable images of muscular physiques, six-pack abs, bulging biceps and lean bodies."The amount of muscle you can gain in a given time frame is well documented. IIRC the theoretical limit for a large, peak level human (age and genetics) working out at the optimal level is 23 lbs of muscle in a year. That's above what has been recorded in any athletes that weren't off their minds on steroids. The initial gains in strength are often misleading. You aren't getting "stronger" physically, you're often just getting better at the act of lifting. I've had people I've trained go from ben… | /r/MensRights | 31/07/11 01:18 AM |
| 1 | "For decades, women have been inundated with unrealistic, thin images in magazines, movies, ads and other media outlets. And now, men are also feeling the pressure for physical perfection, surrounded by unattainable images of muscular physiques, six-pack abs, bulging biceps and lean bodies."Not really. My brother is in Special Forces, runs marathons, has competed in intra-office competitions to see who could do 1000 pullups the fastest and in general works out at least 4-5 hours a day and he lacks any real muscle definition. Anyone can look like a male model, but for a lot of people it involves supplements or working out in a manner that isn't really that healthy. The whole "Greek God" thing isn't even all that attractive to a lot of women, any more than female body builders are to… | /r/MensRights | 30/07/11 07:50 PM |

| 1 | Boiling down a good point in the comments about insurance discrimination against men.Women make about the same per hour assuming they have similar education, experience and they're in the same job and non-profit status. Women tend to work fewer hours, they work at non-profits (which pay less), they take more time off, work less dangerous jobs and they go into different jobs. If you control for these things, women make somewhere between a little bit less than men and a little bit more (mostly varying by job). | /r/MensRights | 28/07/11 04:48 AM |

There's a good chance that this is a matter of transphobia and if evidence comes out that this is the case then I am all for putting it here, but the only facts here point to a simple homicide, which while sad wouldn't be appropriate here if it was a cisgendered man or woman or a child. | /r/MensRights | 22/07/11 10:22 PM |

| 1 | "Hazard Pay" and the gender wage gap: a questionMost of these are going to be based on trade skills, like welding. They tend to be high paying, afford long hours with overtime and extra pay for extremely hazardous jobs. You also have a lot of jobs that are just really dangerous and pay a lot, like PMC in Iraq for $100k+, Crop Dusting for $50k, Crime Scene Cleaning (picking up skull fragments) for $50k, doing oil rig work for around the same etc. Most of these shitty jobs get you better pay than an average non technical bachelors holder. | /r/MensRights | 22/07/11 05:25 AM |

All of the presidents of the US have been men, males are the more common perspective character in fiction, the overt sexualization of the female body is completely acceptable etc. Those are all real issues.

It's a DV rehabilitation program based on feminist concepts of the patriarchy. There are a few main points. 1) All domestic violence is patriarchal. As such, all male violence is based on the patriarchal need to control and all female violence is based on combating patriarchal violence. Basically, female violence is good. 2) The rehabilitation basically jsust consists of telling men that they're terrible people. 3) It's pretty much useless as an actual treatment program… | /r/MensRights | 19/07/11 05:30 AM |
| 3 | What is MR after? I always thought it was gender equality, but lately I have seen comments with upvotes supporting gender roles.One of the issues is that Feminism bases their idea of "equality" on the idea that all or most of the gender norms come from socialization. This has some roots in real science, but it also has a lot of contradictory evidence (there were some cases in the 70s and 80s where infants with genital problems were sexually reassigned and they almost universally associated with their original gender), and it seems to be the reason that many of the second wave feminists are fairly transphobic.
