| 1 | A mother writes of her sadness about what is happening to boys and young men.Thanks for that! If this term can mean the same thing but be less likely to cause unintended offense then I will gladly add it to my vocabulary. I don't think there's anything toxic about masculinity itself - what's toxic is telling people there's something wrong with them/ that they're not 'real men' if they don't act a certain way. People should be allowed to be themselves. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/22 12:47 PM |
| -2 | A mother writes of her sadness about what is happening to boys and young men.Doesn't matter what it means it only matters how it is used and understood. You're right. It matters how it is used. If someone feels their usage is misunderstood I think it becomes appropriate to explain the meaning. It's the only way to correct a disconnect between how the term is being used and how it is understood (which are both important). Is there a different term that means the same but isn't perceived as derogatory or hurtful that you could recommend instead? | /r/MensRights | 29/01/22 01:07 PM |
| -2 | A mother writes of her sadness about what is happening to boys and young men.I thought that was well-written and insightful. I agree with your sentiment that a lot of people mistake "toxic masculinity" for "masculinity is toxic" and that they don't mean the same thing. There are so many positive aspects of masculinity. Equally that doesn't mean that what you've described as "toxic masculinity" isn't an issue. Edit to say that a lot of the replies to this comment are equally insightful! From my perspective, I don't think moving away from 'toxic masculinity' means that men… | /r/MensRights | 29/01/22 12:59 PM |
| 1 | Feminists judging all men. A dialogue.Please don't ask for examples of misogyny. We've all seen comments about all women being xyz brand of evil and I don't want to argue about garbage that simply isn't worth anyone's time. If you'd rather alienate potential allies that's totally fine with me. Contrary to your comments I will continue objecting to and opposing the positions I disagree with. I will also, contrary to your belief, renounce any laws that require male DV victims of females to be arrested. I am actually unaware of such la… | /r/MensRights | 20/01/22 01:15 PM |
| 1 | Feminists judging all men. A dialogue.I'm absolutely not an MRA. I'm a men's rights supporter. I'm not out campaigning for men - I am merely listening to the issues and trying to spread awareness to those brought forth (not the whiny stuff - the real issues). It disappoints me when I read threads here that are straight up misogyny... just like it disappoints me if I read threads on feminist subs that are totally misandric. I strive to be better than that. Basically, I'd like to learn and talk about how to make things better for ever… | /r/MensRights | 19/01/22 12:14 PM |
| 1 | Feminists judging all men. A dialogue.Actually, yes. I also am a supporter of men's rights. I feel like there can be a lot of common ground when neither group makes sweeping generalizations or gets overly defensive. | /r/MensRights | 18/01/22 09:49 PM |
| 1 | Feminists judging all men. A dialogue.show me the feminists who say that men are OK the way they are. Plenty of men are. Many aren't. Some men need to change. Lots don't. Rational people know there are shitty polarizing people of both sexes. | /r/MensRights | 18/01/22 12:43 PM |
| 1 | Feminists judging all men. A dialogue.If you get offended by MRA's here in this sub talking about all that is wrong with feminism and women, then you are part of the problem that makes such talk necessary. That is a direct quote from OP. He is telling us what's wrong with "feminism and women" (a generalization). | /r/MensRights | 18/01/22 12:29 PM |

"These studies do look at people also wrongfully suspected of murder, armed robbery, abuse, neglect, etc., but rape is one of the most frowned upon crimes in the world so I don't see what difference it makes."I think you are saying that being accused of rape and being accused of murder would be equally traumatic/ damaging? I agree with that, I just am not sure if that's your position. I think anyone who says a false allegation would have no effect on some… | /r/MensRights | 15/01/22 12:33 PM |
| 0 | Men's International Day and Father's DayI've never celebrated it anyway, but isn't it for both men and women in Western countries? I've never heard it referred to as a day specifically for women (then again I do live under a rock so that's not entirely meaningful lol) | /r/MensRights | 13/01/22 12:07 PM |
| -2 | Men's International Day and Father's DayI'm not talking about 'feminist bullshit', I am calling you out for whining. I have many men in my life that I care about. I agree with the positions of a lot of posters here. We have a lot of common ground. In this case I just think the whining is pathetic. Sorry if you think being unsympathetic to it makes 'other women look bad'. Fortunately I don't care about that. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/22 11:52 AM |
| -4 | Men's International Day and Father's DayHoly shit - you are claiming most 'females' don't know Father's Day even exists? This absurd claim alone makes the rest of your post worth ignoring. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/22 11:42 AM |

| 0 | It's not okay to slut-shame, but virgin shaming is perfectly fine.Doing it in person right to someone's face is all that counts? That means calling a woman who rejected them a slut via text doesn't count? And neither does saying it behind their back to all of your friends? This seems like a pretty conveniently narrow definition of slut-shaming. To be honest I know very few women who would call someone a slut in person right to their face either so I still think this is a bullshit comment. | /r/MensRights | 02/01/22 01:07 PM |
| -6 | It's not okay to slut-shame, but virgin shaming is perfectly fine.the only people I've ever seen slut shaming women is other women. I have to call foul here. There are whole subreddits (and a vast internet full) of men slut shaming women. Women don't typically call each other delightful things like "cum dumpster". If this comment of yours is true then you are VERY sheltered. | /r/MensRights | 01/01/22 11:22 AM |

One reasonable solution, improve the conditions of men's prisons.It is illegal but it shouldn't be, it is also illegal to have consensual sex with adult relatives, these laws are absolutely ridiculous, a dog is not person. What the actual fuck. If you want to fuck your mom I could care less but a dog is a sentient being and can't consent. It bloody well SHOULD be illegal. | /r/MensRights | 23/12/21 10:19 AM |
| 2 | Why am I being treated like a monster?I get from your response that I didn't make it clear that I am actually agreeing with you. I think it was a crazy overreaction. The point I was trying to make though is that we should be more careful, as a society, not to unintentionally play into this kind of unfounded fear with kids. I imagine that growing up on level 10 high alert would make someone generally terrified and would follow them into adulthood. I think a lot of overprotective parents do this unintentionally without realizing it. E… | /r/MensRights | 21/12/21 05:26 PM |
| -3 | Why am I being treated like a monster?OK I'm going to play the devil's advocate just a little here. We routinely 'teach' our daughters to be hypervigilant about strange men. If we want society to stop acting this way we need to stop teaching it in our own homes. Tell your daughter to go ahead and pick up that hitchhiker. Tell her to go ahead and let that strange man in. And don't blame her (what were you thinking picking up that hitchhiker??!) when things go sideways. We really can't have it both ways. | /r/MensRights | 20/12/21 12:27 PM |
| 8 | "The secret to a long marriage is always saying 'Yes' to your wife."I have always taken this as a joke or to mean the men are just telling their wives what they want to hear. I've never taken this as a serious or factual statement. | /r/MensRights | 19/12/21 11:47 AM |
| 1 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.Yes I was, and sorry about that! Your post is totally reasonable and I agree with the point you tried to make earlier. If a man really wants to keep the baby (and the mother is actually willing to carry it to term) I can understand how a financial abortion for women could come into play. | /r/MensRights | 19/12/21 10:24 AM |
| 3 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.Not saying it's the rule. But it IS common enough. Your comment implied it's so rare that his wife was pretty likely just paying lip service. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/21 01:51 PM |
| 1 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.You'd be surprised how many fathers try to come back into their children's lives well after the fact. I think it is a reasonable fear for women. If it were legally binding that no contact for x amount of time meant no parental rights I could probably be convinced. I think it would be super rude and childish to run away like that, but we don't make laws against being rude and childish. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/21 12:28 PM |
| 3 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.Lots of women don't accept child support because they want to be 100% independent. Source = I am the child of such a woman. And I know plenty of other people just like me. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/21 12:14 PM |
| 7 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.In my opinion he should let her know bc financial abortion should mean giving up all parental 'rights' to the child. It means he doesn't get to change his mind later in life and try to show up in the kid's life. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/21 12:04 PM |
| 10 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.That is WHY we are suggesting financial abortion as an option. No one here on this sub is arguing for 'happily' forcing men to be fathers. We're talking about trying to make things more equal. Your comment is like 'us vs them' and just trying to stick it to the women and it's weird and useless. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/21 12:01 PM |
| 6 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.No, the father does not get to force the mother to carry a baby to term if she does not want to do that. Lets be real, it takes very little physical toll on the male body to make a baby. We have sex, we shoot our sperm inside of the woman, at this point...physically speaking as in what we are going put our bodies through...is over at this point. A woman, does not get that option. This is so rational. Thank you. I have agreed with you on all points and this is usually the very point where things … | /r/MensRights | 18/12/21 11:57 AM |
| 5 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.Pregnancy is a medical condition. Some women die in child birth. It's absolutely insane to me that you think a person shouldn't be able to make their own medical decisions. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/21 11:52 AM |
| 3 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.The claim isn't that it's her body being aborted. I'm not sure why you'd think that. That's not what that means. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/21 11:49 AM |
| 4 | My wife actually agrees with the idea that men should have the right to financially abort their responsibly of a child the same as a woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy.I think you'll find many feminist women agree with this viewpoint. Source: am one. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/21 11:45 AM |
| 0 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.It's not 'based on gender'. It's based on who a pregnancy affects medically. Pregnancy is a medical condition. I realize that you are fixated on the end result (a child being born or not) but the point is that 9 months of gestation doesn't involve the father at all. He could die or just fuck off completely yet gestation continues. It doesn't go both ways. If the guy could take on the birth, all the risks etc then 50/50 would be 'fair'. The whole toll of the pregnancy is hers to bear. It's not in… | /r/MensRights | 08/12/21 08:56 AM |
| 1 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.decide it via a fair 50/50 cointoss So... she can possibly die in childbirth... but a '50/50 cointoss' seems "fair". And a fetus is reasonably like a shit. Good arguments! I'm learning a lot from you! | /r/MensRights | 04/12/21 12:35 PM |
| 1 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.If I eat food and then am not allowed to get it surgically removed and have to take a shit afterwards, have I been "forced to have a shit"? If a woman doesn't want to get an abortion (or a kid) she has the same options that men have, abstaining from sex or using contraception. I have no idea what that first part is about... why would you need your shit removed? But honestly... that's just a rhetorical question at this point - there's clearly no logic behind any of your comments. The best is the … | /r/MensRights | 01/12/21 04:31 PM |
| 1 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.You're the one who wants to be able to force someone to have an abortion against their will. An accidental pregnancy (very specifically what we are discussing here) is exactly that - an accident. She didn't 'control' it any more than he did. | /r/MensRights | 30/11/21 04:11 PM |
| 1 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.This isn't giving anyone a 'special privilege' - people should have a right to make their own medical decisions. I'm not saying a man should have to abide by any consequences of the woman's decision, but it is her body not his. There is no equality in the process of childbirth - it is a burden that is 100% on women. When science allows men to share equally in the physical burden then maybe 'equality' can be part of the conversation. But that's just not biological reality. I'm sorry it seems 'unf… | /r/MensRights | 28/11/21 05:09 PM |
| 1 | The hypocrisy of women against the MGTOW movement.I agree with a lot of what you are saying - there is nothing at all wrong with MGTOW. But it's disappointing how few young men seem to realize there are PLENTY of women out there who WANT financial independence. There are many couples where each person contributes equally - taking turns paying for dates or even just each paying for themselves. If that's what you want, why not simply seek out such women? Women also don't 'get 50% of all mens belongings regardless of who makes what'. I don't mind … | /r/MensRights | 28/11/21 03:48 PM |

| 1 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.I believe it is totally relevant, so we will have to disagree on that one. I'd like to clarify your last point: you are saying that, in your opinion, if a woman on birth control gets pregnant accidentally the man should have veto rights over whether or not she has an abortion?? How do you justify this? What if she is staunchly pro-life? Even if she's not... it's her body. While I agree that a respectful partner would consider the man's feelings, medical choices involving her body are ultimately … | /r/MensRights | 25/11/21 07:52 PM |
| 2 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.Because I don't think she really CAN 'opt out' later on in the way that you are implying. If I am mistaken about this I am willing to be educated. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/21 06:09 PM |
| 2 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.How do you steal an egg? These are NOT objectively the same thing. That's like saying stealing a used tissue for DNA harvesting is objectively the same as stealing an internal organ for the same purpose. Again - I agree wholeheartedly that a man should be able to opt out of child support etc. Maybe your original post was just unclear and was supposed to mean your bodily fluids were hanging out in a used condom or a tissue or something and someone went and secretly 'used' them? But if a woman is … | /r/MensRights | 24/11/21 06:02 PM |
| 3 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.Yes and give it to a company and sign away any and all rights to that sperm meaning they can use it however they want. This doesn't seem correct. Are you sure? | /r/MensRights | 24/11/21 02:06 PM |
| 4 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.Look, we are on the same side in the sense that I don't believe men should be forced to be active parents. But I am laughing my ass over 'let my gf have my sperm' as though it's some gift you are unselfishly giving her. None of us are stupid enough to believe your ejaculation isn't 100% about you. Edit: Not to mention the fact that the pill is NOT perfect. She can still get pregnant without malicious intent... she's not 'wrongfully using' your fluids. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/21 01:59 PM |
| 2 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.I would agree with child support being opt-in as long as it was PRIOR to birth only. It shouldn't be something one can 'opt out' of later on. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/21 01:48 PM |
| 2 | One of my worst fears is a women forcing me to pay child support for a child I didn’t want.Although I think a potential father's opinion should be part of the discussion I don't think that men should have veto power over abortion or pregnancy because it is the woman's body. She shouldn't be forced to have a medical procedure she doesn't want, nor should she be forced to give birth. On the other hand, I don't think a man should have to pay child support for a child he isn't choosing to bring into the world.

My point was that the question the poster was asking in each case was totally different so there's no real comparison to draw. Situation A asks if they are AH for not paying the $30 sitting fee to a kid who did something wrong, was suitably punished (grounded by parents) and still earned the $.

Situation A wants to know 'AITA for not paying my sister for 3 hours' and Situation B wants to know 'AITA for kicking out someone who doesn't pay rent for having a tinder hookup in my house'.

As such, I think her sister should still pay her for the few hours she was there (that's the 'asshole' debate).

"if feminists can pull the "<person in a position of power who makes me look bad> is not a real feminist!"" Isn't there a difference between sharing a label and having identical beliefs?

Sitting on the couch and chatting whilst babysitting is not much of a distraction. The person is also not a stranger. It sounds pretty PG. As the mom I'd still be mad that she didn't ask for permission. Reverse the genders and I would feel exactly the same way.

| 1 | I hate what feminism has done to this societyOn this sub I have regularly seen men make comments that it isn't 'right' that women can opt to terminate a pregnancy and they cannot. The argument seems to be that even if they don't have to pay child support it is emotionally distressing for them to be forced to become biological parents.

But just like sexism against women doesn't automatically equate misogyny, same goes for sexism against men and misandry.

The system exists for a (good) reason. That doesn't mean it should be abused. "All of the major feminist organizations"? Like who? Here I am, trying NOT to be silent... so I'm not sure what you think I'm trying to defend. | /r/MensRights | 13/11/20 02:49 PM |
| 1 | Unmarried Ontario couple had no children and no house but man must still pay support, appeal court rulesOK I think it's a bit of a stretch to say anyone is clinging to anything. The only point of my comment was to indicate that feminists aren't necessarily the enemy - that there are women (even feminists, who seem to be perceived as lowest of the low) who acknowledge there can be abuse of the system and denounce it as wrong. I also never said I ONLY mean I believe in gender equality, nor that feminists in high places are fake. You actually read a LOT into my very short comments. | /r/MensRights | 13/11/20 11:54 AM |
| 1 | Unmarried Ontario couple had no children and no house but man must still pay support, appeal court rulesI believe it is possible to support a system while acknowledging that it can be abused. And I don't believe that ALL feminists actively fought against reform in these areas. I suppose that is the point I was trying to make. That there are feminists who acknowledge there are gaps and want to be allies when there is obvious injustice. | /r/MensRights | 13/11/20 11:38 AM |
| -2 | Unmarried Ontario couple had no children and no house but man must still pay support, appeal court rulesI disagree entirely... I think it's the people who call themselves feminists without a clue what it means that are the problem on that front. | /r/MensRights | 12/11/20 02:33 PM |
| 3 | Unmarried Ontario couple had no children and no house but man must still pay support, appeal court rulesI am a tried and true feminist and I agree that this is a ridiculous verdict. She should be ashamed. | /r/MensRights | 12/11/20 12:21 PM |
