| 6 | Exposing How Women Manipulate MenI think when it comes to the relationship and sexual side of things women definitely tend to be the more manipulative ones I just want to say that IMO that's due to women having more opportunity to manipulate men rather than women being inherently more manipulative. Dating gender roles are skewed in women's favor which gives them the ability to manipulate men more than the other way around | /r/MensRights | 07/09/15 03:26 PM |
| 0 | CMV: A cheating spouse should not be able to receive alimony payments after a divorce. : changemyviewSome sacrifices have greater long-term consequences. I don't think alimony payments should be as high as they often and shouldn't last more than a few years, but if a person took 10 years out from working they can't exactly just re-enter the work-force, especially not in this economy. | /r/MensRights | 06/09/15 11:24 PM |
| -1 | CMV: A cheating spouse should not be able to receive alimony payments after a divorce. : changemyviewTheir cheating doesn't automatically erase whatever justification there was for alimony to begin with. In many cases alimony needs to be cut back, regardless of cheating. But if one partner did legitimately make sacrifices in their career for the marriage, then it would be unjust to deny them alimony altogether. Maybe reduce alimony but don't cut it entirely and throw them out in the streets | /r/MensRights | 06/09/15 09:39 PM |
| -2 | Men are now the oppressed sexI would agree with this. Men face a lot of prejudice and discrimination due to our gender, arguably more than women do, but I wouldn't call it "oppression" | /r/MensRights | 06/09/15 05:02 PM |
| 2 | Someone said that MRAs don't understand men's rights, but Men's Lib does. What are the differences between the movements that could make someone think this?Every time a Man tries to express his emotions he's shot down, told to "Shut the fuck up" or "Stop whining" and you wonder why they don't I think the point is that this is wrong and that this is creating toxic masculinity, so we should stop telling men to "stop whining" when they express emotion. My problem with toxic masculinity is that feminists usually blame it all on men, as if women all love to date weak vulnerable men and it's only men that put pressure on other men to "stop whining" when … | /r/MensRights | 06/09/15 01:54 AM |

What are the differences between the movements that could make someone think this?I even agree with their criticism that this sub sometimes spends too much time raging about petty issues or whining about extreme feminist views, but they can't possibly deny that feminism has typically been hostile to anybody who wanted to raise awareness of men's issues. | /r/MensRights | 06/09/15 01:49 AM |

If they really cared about men's issues than why didn't they create their sub 7 years ago when /r/mensrights was made?

What are the differences between the movements that could make someone think this?most people in menslib are the type of feminist that laughed at MRAs a few years ago because men are too privileged to have real issues. None of them actually care about men's issues they just realized that the MRM is becoming much larger than they wanted, and that continuing to tell men that our problems are non-existent was making feminism look bad.

| 3 | Hi MensRights, I am going to an event on feminism and need your help!There's nothing wrong with being critical, but that criticism should be aimed at making the movement better.

That's the biggest problem with women complaining about not getting a man. They aren't trying. Most women I know have never even asked a man out on a date.

| 1 | Women colonising male safe spaces includes MRMso you want us to be exactly like /r/feminism and all other feminist spaces? The reason feminism is in the state it is is because they don't allow anybody to criticize them so the whole movement is just a circle-jerk.

| 1 | Feminist Karen DeCrow on Male Reproductive RightsIf a child is born, it is in his or her best interest for both parents to commit resources to him or her, regardless of the parents' choices in the matter. If a child is born and then given up for adoption, it would be in its best interest for both parents to commit resources to it. So why don't they have to pay child support after giving the child up for adoption? Legal parental surrender would work the same as adoption so why does only one require child support? | /r/MensRights | 27/08/15 11:45 AM |
| 1 | Feminist Karen DeCrow on Male Reproductive RightsEquality feminists were still an anomoly in her generation as well. Karen Decrow (who passed away last year) support MRAs on several issues since the 70s (and remained friends with Warren Farrell up until her death), but she was definitely an outlier in that regard. | /r/MensRights | 26/08/15 11:56 PM |
| 2 | Feminist Karen DeCrow on Male Reproductive Rights1) Women have greater control over pregnancy; ie, the birth control pill. You could also make fathers pay half the abortion cost. 2) Put them up for adoption. They would be no worse off than any other child put up for adoption, and yet nobody objects to that. 3) No, absolutely not retroactive | /r/MensRights | 26/08/15 11:54 PM |
| 1 | Feminist Karen DeCrow on Male Reproductive RightsDoes that apply to adoption as well? When parents give a child up for adoption should they still pay child support? | /r/MensRights | 26/08/15 11:51 PM |
| 1 | Feminist Karen DeCrow on Male Reproductive RightsWarren Farrell wrote an article after her death. She was at NOW the same time he was, and was pretty much the only mainstream feminist that actually supported men's rights. She was also one of the first feminists to start speaking out against the wage gap, and even wrote the foreward to Farrell's book Why Men Earn More exposing the wage gap. | /r/MensRights | 26/08/15 11:48 PM |
| 1 | Two underage boys and an underage girl were caught filming themselves having sex in my city by police officers. There's nothing to suggest that it wasn't consensual, but the two boys will now be prosecuted heavily by the law while the girl gets off scot-free.that used to be the law in most states, statutory rape only applied for female victims and only some laws made an exception if the male was close to her age. It's only relatively recently that the laws were made gender-neutral | /r/MensRights | 24/08/15 09:46 PM |

'I have come to the conclusion that due to the concern and embarrassment caused to both you and your family that you will not be offending again, let alone committing sexual offences That's why she only got sentenced to 2 years.

Without the rule this sub would just be overrun with memes and screenshots of tumblr. A lot of large subs have similar rules for this reason.

| 5 | White males accounted for 70% of all suicides in 2013. [Xpost TIL]If 70% of suicides were women That right there is the problem with OP pointlessly bringing race into this. Men make up 80% of suicides, not 70%, and OP probably should have just made a post about that instead of racebaiting. | /r/MensRights | 20/08/15 12:21 PM |
| 2 | White males accounted for 70% of all suicides in 2013. [Xpost TIL]But the "male" part accounts for a far greater part of that disparity than the "white" part, and given that this is /r/mensrights it would be more relevant to say "50% of the population are males but 80% of the suicides are male" | /r/MensRights | 20/08/15 12:19 PM |
| 2 | White males accounted for 70% of all suicides in 2013. [Xpost TIL]Yeah including race in the OP makes no sense. We aren't a race sub, and after you account for gender there is only a small difference between the races. 80% of suicides are male, which is far more relevant to this sub and highlights the gender disparity better. The racial difference is also probably easier to account for. For example old people have higher suicide rates, and blacks are more likely to die young. Male suicide is an issue. But by dragging race into this OP is just shifting the focu… | /r/MensRights | 20/08/15 12:18 PM |
| 8 | Not sure if the disclaimer means we are getting our message through or not.The disclaimer is mostly sarcastic. The "not all men" part was even turned into a hashtag last year to mock men who were against stereotyping. If they actually cared about female rapists the message would be "teach people not to rape" rather than "teach men not to rape." Still, sarcastic or not it means they're paying attention. | /r/MensRights | 14/08/15 11:46 PM |

When he does ask him about men's issues, such as if he would start a Council for Men and Boys to go along with Obama's Council for Women and Girls (MRAs, especially Farrell, have been trying to do this for years now but Obama refuses).

| 3 | The Difference Between Consent While Impaired, and DUIs (in law)You did, but it was a giant wall of text and I think it's important to emphasize that one part because I see too many people on this sub being confused about that, and I didn't want it to get lost in the long post | /r/MensRights | 12/08/15 01:44 AM |
| 1 | The Difference Between Consent While Impaired, and DUIs (in law)A 14 year old cannot consent to sex. A 14 year old is still criminally liable for any crime they commit. And as another user posted above the law doesn't even say you can't have drunk sex in the first place. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/15 11:20 PM |
| 4 | The Difference Between Consent While Impaired, and DUIs (in law)THIS. There is a VERY high bar for intoxication to void consent. The victim has to be so drunk that they aren't even really aware that they're having sex. If you look at actual cases where somebody was guilty of rape because the victim was intoxicated, the victim was either unconscious or barely conscious. Even just being blackout drunk doesn't necessarily mean the victim is too drunk to consent. Many feminist discussions assume that a drunk woman can't consent and a drunk man can, but that is N… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/15 11:16 PM |

| 1 | 19 year old boy forced to register as a sex offender even after 14 year old told police and judge she had lied about being 17.I think every state has strict liability for statutory rape, which is ok when it works like it's supposed to, but this isn't one of those times.

They get to Qatar and find out that the job isn't what they were told it would be. Their passport is confiscated so they can't leave the country, and their working papers are taken as well so they can't look for another job or they risk being arrested.

While I consider myself an MRA/Egalitarian online, I don't really use those terms IRL.

Seriously.The fact that shy nerdy guys are bullied, shamed, and outcast to a far larger extent than shy nerdy women is a prime example of sexism and female privilege. And instead of acknowledging it and fighting against this sexism, feminists are once again pushing ahead with it. Anybody who has followed GamerGate (/r/KotakuInAction) can see that modern feminism is in favor of nerd-bashing and bringing back the traditional belief that male nerds are worthless losers. | /r/MensRights | 10/01/15 05:59 AM |
| 2 | In my school's paper today.This discusses the "99% of rapists are men" figure. TL;DR: That number comes from studies that define rape as forcefully penetrating somebody; a man forcing a woman to have sex is rape, a woman forcing a man to have sex is NOT rape according to them. If we consider women "rapists" when they force men to have sex, then the numbers are a little murky but the best estimate we have is 60% of rapists are men. | /r/MensRights | 10/01/15 04:02 AM |

And the same with the CDC. And same with BJS (which are the figures that RAINN uses). All of the rape statistics that are commonly cited by feminists only call it rape when the victim is penetrated. | /r/MensRights | 10/01/15 03:55 AM |

| 2 | Why is any crime against women considered "gender based violence" while crimes against men are just considered ordinary crimes?I think it's especially important when violence against men is more common, and that people find it more acceptable to be violent towards men. "gender based violence" implies that there wouldn't be violence if the victim was of another gender, yet that applies to male victims more than female victims because people are far less willing to punch a woman in the face than a man. | /r/MensRights | 06/01/15 04:43 PM |

It's nice to see an article actually call it rape in this case. Though I don't know if we should call it rape in either direction, it's certainly a crime but I do think "rape" should be reserved for actual forced sex.

Feminists often campaign for females who are convicted of making false accusations not to be jailed.Falsely accusing a man of rape is not equal to rape. It is however comparable to [attempted] kidnapping and false imprisonment, and should be treated as such. It definitely needs to be a serious felony. As for other crimes, actual false accusations are rare. People don't really deliberately falsely accuse somebody of murder; when an innocent person is accused of murder, it is almost always a case of mis-identification by the investigators or some other fault of the investigators, not a civilian … | /r/MensRights | 10/10/14 05:39 AM |

There are other types of FGM, such as cutting the clitoral hood which is the same thing as male circumcision. That's still considered an international human rights violation when it's done to girls. I guess that's not mutilation because removing the clitorus is worse? | /r/MensRights | 21/06/14 02:38 AM |
| 4 | Look at all that wonderful male privilegeHow so? "Our government is giving free room and board to more men than women"? Men having it worse than women isn't a feminist issue, in fact merely recognizing that men frequently have it worse than women in significant ways goes against feminist theory of "male privilege."

Women are almost 1.5x more likely to graduate college than men are. Adjunct faculty typically refers to young professors who haven't built up experience to become tenured.

Feminists and the government define rape as requiring the offender to penetrate the victim, meaning that the only way a woman can rape a man under that definition is by shoving something up his butt. That's where statistics like "90% of rape victims are women and 99% of rapists are men" come from. However, if the definition is expanded to include a woman forcing a man to have sex, then approximately 40% of rapists are women.

Okay, this really needs to stop. A man having sex with a drunk woman is not automatically rape. Yes, feminists think that it should be, and yes, their statistics reflect this.

That kind of imbalance doesn't typically exist with somebody I admire and respect as an equal. I am, however, quite assertive with my lamp. And my desk. And other objects. Men who objectify women are much more assertive than men who don't, which means they are far more successful with women. When women… | /r/MensRights | 26/11/13 03:21 AM |

The rationale is, it's in the child's best interest so it shouldn't matter whether or not it's fair to the man paying child support. That same logic means if a person adopts a child and then wants more money, they should be allowed to sue the biological parents for child support. In fact, they should be able to sue a complete stranger. Why can't I sue Bill Gates for child support? It's clearly in the best interest o… | /r/MensRights | 14/11/13 03:15 AM |

| 49 | This bothers me.The official mission statement of the KKK is to stop white genocide. I don't think we should kill all white people... but I also don't support the Klan. The official mission statement of Scientology includes promoting human rights. I want to promote human rights... but I also don't support Scientology. The official mission statement of feminism is to support equal rights and opportunities [apparently they don't even pretend to want equal responsibility] for men and women. I support equal rights … | /r/MensRights | 01/11/13 10:43 PM |

No mention of paternity leave. Yep, they're all about equality. | /r/MensRights | 01/11/13 05:22 PM |

| 1 | Statistics Don't Back Up Claims About 'Rape Culture'Yep. Not to mention how feminism gives zero fucks about victims of F-on-M rape. Every statistic feminists share about rape defines rape as "being forcefully penetrated," which conveniently doesn't count F-on-M rape except in the rare instances where she stuck something up his butt. That's where feminists get bullshit statements like "90% of rape victims are women and 99% of rapists are men, so of course we should only focus on M-on-F rape!" 99% of rapists are men because feminists define rape in… | /r/MensRights | 01/11/13 12:01 AM |
| 3 | Statistics Don't Back Up Claims About 'Rape Culture'I remember seeing a picture of a woman holding up a piece of paper like they do in the "I need feminism because..." pictures, but hers said something to the effect of "I don't need feminism because I don't think my actual rape experience should be lumped in with the drunken one night stand you regret," basically calling out feminism for putting women who regret a drunken one night stand in the same category with women who were actually raped. EDIT: Found the picture | /r/MensRights | 31/10/13 10:35 PM |

| 5 | Who put all that sexism in Google's autocomplete?Well one of the biggest issues (possibly the biggest issue) facing men is the fact that society, governments, and organizations such as UN ignore men's issues and promote the false belief that women have it much worse than men. The UN report was designed to show everybody how badly women have it. They conveniently ignored such search terms as "all men should be..." [castrated; kicked in the balls; killed] or "violence against men is..." [ok; acceptable; funny]. The UN report represents one of th… | /r/MensRights | 31/10/13 04:34 PM |
| 1 | English Teacher, Allegedly Had Sex With 15-Year-Old Student - Once again, the Huffington Post doesn't use the term rape to describe the incident.I made this post a few months ago, and was accused by some of cherry-picking. While it's true that there are some M-on-F statutory rape articles that don't use the term rape, and some F-on-M articles that do, there definitely seems to be a general trend of calling it rape far more often when it happens to girls then when it happens to boys. I had seen numerous examples on this sub when I first made that, and have seen many since as well. | /r/MensRights | 31/10/13 05:30 AM |
| 2 | Going to hell with my head held high!They ignored misandry though, because reasons. "All men should be..." killed, castrated, kicked in the balls. "Violence against men is..." funny, ok, acceptable. Apparently the UN doesn't see anything wrong with that. | /r/MensRights | 31/10/13 02:35 AM |
| 6 | New Study finds men look at faces of women, not bodies.yeah, people assume it's the body and we ignore the face because of all the emphasis on most guys not wanting fat girls, but I think when it comes to obesity people need to realize how much being fat will affect the way your face looks. Fat girls have fat faces, thin girls have attractive faces. Same for guys. | /r/MensRights | 31/10/13 02:31 AM |
| 5 | Just Because He Got an Erection, Doesn't Mean He Wanted It: Both Raped Men and Raped Women Can Become Sexually Aroused and Even Orgasm During the ExperienceDitto for when they're passed out / near passed out. In this case, where the man was unconscious when the woman raped him (and subsequently had to pay child support to his rapist), they actually called in a medical expert to testify that men can get hard and ejaculate while unconscious. People often wonder how a woman can rape a man that's bigger than her, I think a lot of F-on-M rape happens when the guy is passed out or close to it. I've had three male friends who were victims of attempted or … | /r/MensRights | 31/10/13 02:27 AM |

| 0 | Daughter accuses father of rape, who is sent to jail for seven years. She comes clean after 10 years and apologizes for the wrong accusation. Now she doesn't have to face any consequences because the initial hearing has been 18 years ago.That's not how it works, actually SCOTUS just ruled that prearrest silence is not protected by the Constitution, so your right to remain silent only exists once you've been officially arrested [EDIT: In that case, you can remain silent but your prearrest silence can be used against you in court if you are later arrested]. Additionally, here your silence is doing more than just not incriminating yourself, it's actually keeping somebody else in prison, and so it goes beyond what the Constitution i… | /r/MensRights | 29/10/13 07:46 PM |
| 4 | Daughter accuses father of rape, who is sent to jail for seven years. She comes clean after 10 years and apologizes for the wrong accusation. Now she doesn't have to face any consequences because the initial hearing has been 18 years ago.Yeah, I guess that could be worded better, more specifically the above would apply if the person's lies were what lead to the innocent person being in prison to begin with. So if a witness doesn't come forward, yeah that's their right to not talk. But if you go to the police and file a false report, then give false testimony in court that leads to a false conviction, then no you don't (or shouldn't) have the right to stay silent while somebody sits in prison because of your actions.

| 2 | TIME: "How to help 'defective girls': What Schools Can Do to Help Boys Succeed. Brilliant article. Feminists are losing, and we are changing the world.A) Because feminists are the reason that boys are treated as "defective girls" B) Because feminists have repeatedly tried to downplay men's and boys' issues, including education, because they don't want to acknowledge that men and boys aren't just super privileged. 1/3 high schoolers drops out, and boys are 30% more likely than girls. That's a pretty big issue, but feminists just want to talk about male privilege and how society is set up to benefit men and oppress women.

| 55 | Daughter accuses father of rape, who is sent to jail for seven years. She comes clean after 10 years and apologizes for the wrong accusation. Now she doesn't have to face any consequences because the initial hearing has been 18 years ago.The law needs to be changed. It's not like she committed a wrong 18 years ago and then was a perfect angel since. No, she continuously committed a wrong for 17 years. Law should be changed to make it a crime to knowingly keep an innocent person in prison by withholding material information. | /r/MensRights | 29/10/13 12:54 PM |
