I’d be very surprised if this event was legal under Irish discrimination laws so it’s doubtful it’ll happen, but truth be told I’m finding the messaging around it extremely upsetting today, just another example of how collectively shitting on and taunting men for being men is perfectly acceptable in today’s society. Really just makes me sad. And it’s messaging like this which, from early childhood, is exactly what drives resentment and leads some boys to harbour genuinely hostile and sexist atti…

I have to stop giggling before I comment. I can't read 'Hugh Mungus' without cracking up. That guy is awesome! One of the things I would truly hate most about being an SJW would be the sheer amount of comedy which would be off limits. In an Irish context, I can't think of a single Irish comedy show, act, comedian or routine which wouldn't "trigger" the average SJW in some way. Lena Dunham and her false accusation of Barry and her admittedly raping her 1 year old sister. Holy shit, I had to googl…

I fully accept that Irish law is full of bullshit against men and against women, and that particular law incenses me more than anything, but again, my point is that women my own age are equally outraged about it. More traditional feminist groups have stayed silent about it and to my delight and surprise, when that story was in the news I saw far more women on my own social media feeds going apeshit about how unfair it was than guys.

We have also had at least one "affirmative consent" convinction which nobody paid attention to - possibly because the guy was a property developer (automatic enemy of the public) and his behaviour was kind of sleazy, including the fact that he was cheating on his wife (pointing the philosophical implications of the ruling got me downvoted heavily on /r/Ireland).

Court judgments, media hypocrisy, political appeasement and kids taken away from fathers are things which are not within the power of late Gen Y people to influence. So you can't point to those things in order to disprove that this particular demographic is turning against radical feminism.

Well this is what I'm saying, in my experience late Gen Y women tend to be firmly opposed to anti-male propaganda and laws as you describe.

Hmmm... I'm in Ireland, and women in Ireland are in general just more laid back. Also, we have some genuine discrimination here - a total ban on abortion even in cases where the mother's life is at risk, as well as a constitutional article which "champion's the woman's special place in the home", for example - the latter of which both men and women are united in their opposition to, and the former of which has advocates and opponents of both genders.

Even if she's only joking, personally I would never, ever, ever stay with somebody who not only accepted sexist double standards as normal, but gloated about taking advantage of them. Obviously this is one anecdote and I don't believe in judging people by what's said online, but if it was me, I highly doubt I'd still be in that relationship.

Given how you have now experienced being treated by the "gatekeepers" of feminism for holding contrary opinions, is our hostility towards feminism starting to make a little more sense? The problem is that most feminists, unlike you, will not admit to these kinds of toxic elements even when they're staring them in the face. Or they'll dismiss them as "irrelevant fringe loons" even when they're people like moderators of the biggest feminism forums on the internet. It gets quite frustrating after a…

The underlying empathy lays with the women because it's a women who's hearing it happen and they always have empathy for one another before men. As a guy, this has never been true for me. But maybe that's just me. I don't make assumptions based on gender and in my view people who do are assholes.

Hillsborough school district defended their position. They said the notes were unwanted and that borders on sexual harassment. How the FUCK is somebody supposed to know something is unwanted if they're not allowed to ask or approach in the first place? This is my absolute biggest problem with the definition of "sexual harassment". It shouldn't be defined as unwanted, but unwanted and persistent. Otherwise it's saying you either have to be telepathic, or just never make the first move ever.

The usual bullshit - "Both genders should be treated equally and double standards are bad - but if men are treated badly it's really because women are being treated badly and we should feel sorry for women in general rather than the specific, individual man we're actually watching being treated badly". This argument alone was what turned me off feminism for good.

I just hammered out a response that focuses on what it's like putting up with sexism and misandry as a young boy and as a teenager. If I had time to expand, I'd probably also have included a section about being in an abusive relationship and yet seeing propaganda everywhere about how it's men who are abusers and women who are victims.

TIL /r/funny has a "no attempt at humor" rule. I actually get why a lot of people here think that's it's a good thing it made the front page, and maybe I'm just getting the wrong idea, but seeing something like that in a forum called /r/funny conjures up the concept of violence against men, male rape victims etc being seen as a joke - the idea that it's something to laugh at, rather than something to find repulsive. IDK though, I could easily just be overreacting - what do others think?

Cheaters of any gender are scum, as far as I'm concerned. If you want to screw someone else that's your business, but have the decency to break up with your current partner first. Betrayal and deceit of this kind is something I don't have time for. So as far as I'm concerned, anything which helps betrayed partners to discover that betrayal, in this case the hacking incident, is a good thing. I'm fully aware that most will disagree with my point of view. But I've been betrayed many times in my li…

Something you need to understand is that the Huffington Post and the Guardian have developed a reputation over the last 2-3 years as publications which demonise men and angelify women any time any kind of gender based issue is remotely relevant to a story. Had this happened with any other publication, you probably wouldn't have received the flack that you did - HuffPost and Guardian are, in my view, now part of the utterly toxic "check your privilege" movement, and for that, articles published b…

If an article like the NY one was posted here from the point of view of a woman, it would get downvoted to hell. Most MRAs would not just disagree with the idea that being an MRA means letting your boyfriend sleep around, even when it hurts you - they would be actively disgusted by it. The problem with feminism is its refusal to condemn the nastiness which exists under its own banner. You'll find many MRAs condemning the most repugnant of Red Pill ideology, but you'd probably get banned from /r/…

I find TwoX depressing because of how starkly it has exposed an apparent majority view among women that men are not actual equals in relationships, that love is completely artificial and bogus and can be easily swept aside for selfish reasons.

I'm not particularly sure why. It's not as if molestation is any less of an unspeakable crime anyway. But any intercourse where one party does not consent should be considered rape by the other party.
/r/MensRights16/07/15 04:51 PM

So then, to incorporate both forcible penetration and being forced to be penetrate, you have to say it's about forced sexual intercourse. But that's not accurate either, since we consider insertion of a foreign object to be rape. I don't agree with the latter. Rape is forced intercourse, anything else should be considered molestation.

It already is. :) The vast majority of women I know (a) don't agree with bullshit like this and (b) are anti-feminist while being pro-equality. I'm in my mid-twenties. Younger women apparently are even less enthused about promoting double standards against men.

It makes a kind of intuitive sense Again... Why? The issue isn't having something inside your body without your consent, the issue is being sexually violated without your consent.
/r/MensRights14/07/15 01:03 AM

That's the reason legally, sure. But why should it be? What's so special about penetration compared with envelopment without consent? The bottom line is that somebody is being sexually violated and did not consent to it. Shouldn't be treated even slightly differently as far as I'm concerned.

The vast majority of women are good people, just like the vast majority of men. Society tries to teach them from a young age to be selfish and not to empathise with men at all, which in my view is why it's so cool that most of them do. Most women I know reject feminism because of how it shames and demonises men, and most object wholeheartedly to double standards against men.

What really pisses me off is when they turn men's issues into women's issues and the claim that this is the only reason they count as legitimate issues. For example: "False rape accusations are terrible - real victims might not be believed" (not because innocent people might have their lives destroyed). Another example: "Men not getting paternal leave is appalling - why are women expected to do all the child rearing?" (not "Men not getting paternal leave is appalling, why aren't men entitled to …

When I had this class in college on feminism a few weeks back, one of the main, overwhelming reasons for some of the women having been turned off feminism was how patronizing feminism can be to those with questions, doubts, arguments etc. The #YesAllWomen hashtag particularly rubbed a good few up the wrong way - one mentioned the tag in a "how dare anyone try to speak for me, I can voice my own opinions" kind of way and was cheered by other women in the class.

This is what freaks me a bit about it.

I agree to an extent, but if the majority of young women are refusing to buy into the anti male narrative which pervades society at the moment, that's a pretty good start isn't it? Not one woman in this very large lecture defended any of the misandrist bilge which was raised in the discussion, and the vast majority were visibly angered by it.

Because the feminist fallacy holds that feminism = advocating for equality between the sexes and nothing more or nothing less, being anti feminist equals being anti equality.

That's certainly part of it, but part of it is also that institutionally Ireland is a clusterfuck of incompetence.

A combination of things. Firstly, men are still "supposed" to suppress their emotions and there's only so much people can bottle up before they explode. Secondly, mens' mental health is largely ignored by policymakers - the epidemic of male suicide and the lackluster response to it by governments around the world is evidence of that. Further evidence of that comes from the widespread trend of women getting off in court due to mental health issues, but men with the same kind of issues receiving n…

Therein lies the basic problem. Sexism by definition has nothing to do with institutional power, it is the simple act of one individual acting in a particular way towards another individual purely based on the genders involved. That's it. Feminists can try to change the definition all they like, but it's never going to make it true.

I live in Ireland. Under Irish law, if two underage teenagers have consensual sex, the girl "shall be immune to prosecution under the Act". In other words, the boy is considered the criminal. Automatically. Therefore in Ireland, rape statistics are flawed. If you ask me why, it's because one of my good friends is one of those statistics. His girlfriend's parents caught them and went apeshit, in court he discovered that he as the only one who was considered a criminal even though she was a year o…

Again, because we believe the 1 in 5 statistic only holds true if several non-rape scenarios are included in the definition of "rape" used to justify the statistic, and this is harmful as it attempts to criminalize behavior which should not be illegal, or paints men as aggressors where in fact, they are not. Do you see my point about (a) consensual sex between drunks and (b) consensual underaged sex? In both cases, the man will be considered the automatic "attacker", the woman the automatic "vic…

A lot of us disagree about the definition of rape. Rape is sex in the absence of consent. It is not, for example: When two underaged teens have consensual sex and the boy is automatically held to be the "attacker" When two people are drunk and have sex, even when the woman is the one who initiates it, and the man is for some reason deemed to be the one who "should have done the right thing", with no mention of the woman's responsibility even though she was the initiator.

This is just an opinion, and I accept that many people will probably disagree here, but I'm not sure that the statement that "adhd and hyperactivity certainly exists in children" is necessarily true. Being hyperactive seems to be the natural state for most mammals when they're very young (if you've ever had a kitten or puppy you'll know what I'm talking about!) - why should humans be any different? In other words, they're not "disorders" but the way kids are supposed to be, biologically. Not pro…

I'm only guessing here, but I think it was because some of the desks were pushed together sideways in each row, so if one was leaning on it to write at the same time as 'jigging' (what we used to call that kind of restless leg movement), it would send shockwaves down the entire row :D I didn't get in major trouble for it, I'm just saying the simple fact was that X amount of time without being able to stretch my legs resulted in something that felt like what I'd imagine the inside of a volcano is…

Couple of really insightful quotes from the article But we also have to teach people that boy development, their activity and the kind of stories that they love, the kind of adventure and science fiction and superpowers that they love are not dangerous, not leading to violence. There are too many people who think that everything boys seem to love is dangerous. It turns out that the broken families have just a far worse effect on a young man’s educational prospects. We didn’t know that. We’re now…

Ugh. Obviously the fact that one of the reasons for cohabitation is to avoid all the messed up baggage that comes with marriage has gone right over his head.

The economy has changed. A higher percentage of men today than 50 years ago have trouble finding steady employment, securing raises and promotions, or remaining sober and productive. Blue-collar men like Carl have lost ground while more highly educated men have gained. The unemployment rate for all men ages 20–24 is almost 13 percent, and those with only a high school education are more than twice as likely to be unemployed as those with a college degree. Moreover, many of the jobs that are avai…

I'm almost entirely sure that SRS is a troll subreddit and most of them are trolling rather than being sincere. It has been confirmed to me several times by people who post there that they regard it as "satire".

Want to say something else which might go down well here, but all the same: your sister is being selfish and heartless, but don't completely lose your respect for her - an attitude like hers is the product of a society and media which conditions girls from quite a young age to treat boyfriends/husbands/fathers as accessories, to an extent. From memes like "a groom's job at a wedding is to not get in the way" to "a man always has the last words in an argument, 'yes dear'", the idea that this type…

Fair enough, but this is the crucial part IMO - if the genders were reversed in the case, would there have been a guilty verdict? Woman using a misleading premise to convince a man to sleep with her? Because IMO this is more about society's acceptance of this unwritten rule.

This one worried me a little: If severely mentally handicapped people are to be deemed incapable of consenting, does that effectively mean that they are essentially required by law to live a life of involuntary celibacy? While I accept the argument that those with severe disabilities could obviously be taken advantage of, on the other side of the coin should we be pushing for rules which would essentially mean that a mentally handicapped person can never experience sex? That seems rather unfair …

Personally I advocate a gender blind society. Legally, culturally, etc - a human being is a human being, and no more or no less. No double standards, no judgement, treatment, rules or social norms based on gender at all.

I honestly, and I mean honestly believe that most (not all, but the majority) of the SRS crowd are trolls who get off on the lulz of pissing people off. In fact I've had it confirmed to me by some of them, that what they do is satire more or less. Since the term "shitlord" is their flagship word for anyone they target, I presume that anyone who uses it is their ilk and can therefore be reasonably presumed to have a high probability of being a troll. In other words, not worth time, analysis, or e…

Isn't that a bit of a straw man argument? I'm either ok with something or I'm not ok with it. I will never in principle be ok with something for one demographic if not for all demographics. I don't believe in treating human beings differently or giving them different rights or freedoms. If you want to imply that makes me a bad person then fair enough...

Why is this a bad thing though necessarily? Most feminists claim to oppose double standards as well. Why should a human being be treated differently from another human being based purely on their demographic? It's something they can't control and shouldn't suffer for.

Not at all, I merely find it bizarre when people cite reasons for divorce which were clearly present long before they decided to marry the person. Seems pretty peculiar.

/r/askfeminists was set up because /r/feminism was inundated with mra perspectives and questions. We are not inundated with questions and people can ask questions here so there isn't any need to set up a special area to house the people that as asking queations. Fair enough, I suppose I was hoping for the opposite - that setting one up would encourage outsiders to ask more questions and realize that their preconceived ideas about us are probably pretty far from reality.

For being "dark in complexion"? Unless that guy has a herculean tanning ability, I'd say it's safe to assume he was already dark in complexion before she married him.

Of course. It's treating people differently based on their demographic background - this is uncool in any and all contexts. An adult human is an adult human. Beyond making distinctions based on age of majority etc, any discrimination based on demographic is, in my view, wrong. And that, interestingly, is what I feel is the main difference between feminism and the MRM. Most wouldn't agree with me, it's just my opinion. I see a double standard - regardless of what it is - and I think "There are tw…

I don't agree with the premise - any double standard is unfair in my view. A human being is a human being, and should have the same rights as any other human being.

Does it matter how gender roles work though? A double standard is a double standard, any and all double standards should be challenged and everything possible done to get rid of them (in my opinion anyway). The objection to such a flair fuels the perception, whether correct or not, among MRAs that a lot of people are only opposed to double standards which go in one direction, but not the other.

There was an entire thread recently about how "ridiculous" it was for /r/mensrights to have a "reverse genders" flair. That to me was what made AMR sound like a troll group - how can anyone argue that calling out double standards is a bad thing?

OP, mind me asking what country you're from? In Ireland men and women happily coexist in the weights room, in fact there are a few woman regulars in my gym who I'd spot on occasion for things like tricep extension (or indeed anything where dropping would be dangerous) - literally never thought anything of it until I saw this specific post. It does have designated men and woman's benches in the weights area (7 and 7) simply because the gym is sometimes absolutely packed, they have little rules li…

That's what I'm saying, though. He wasn't charged or punished, as evidenced by the fact that there is zero coverage of that - she was credited the money, she went on a mad shopping spree with it, there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that any man was involved in any way.

My ex, who I'm still very close to, suggested last night that if she got pregnant she probably just wouldn't tell the father about it at all and deal with it all herself. And she's someone who I align with politically on most issues. Really shocked me. Just shows how deep seated the whole mother = parent, father = sperm donor paradigm is in our society :/

About time things like this were brought up. Glad someone's looking at it. I have to ask, why is it that Fathers' Rights issues tend to be covered so often by the Daily Mail, a paper which otherwise spouts an almost 24/7 stream of misandrist garbage?

In theory, I laud and applaud all attempts to make children safer and happier. However, when I clicked through and realized that this was a UK law, alarm bells went off - I've heard too many cases in recent times of social services in the UK utterly destroying families on either very weak or totally made up issues because they have some sort of adoption quota to fill. Is this true or is it a bunch of hysterical paranoia?

Because when women aren't doing well with something it's because of the patriarchy / oppression / stuff that happened decades ago / rape culture / the media.

Feminists simply need to learn that "equal pay for equal work" means exactly that - same level of skill required, same number of hours worked, same productivity, same level of experience etc etc etc. Nobody actually has a problem with that, and it IS a problem in some specific nasty corporations I'm sure, but feminists as usual poison the chalice by comparing apples to oranges and then going apeshit when anyone has the temerity to point out the flaws in the argument.

As an Irish guy it pains me to admit that the place is an absolute cesspit when it comes to men's rights. It is codified in law in Ireland that in cases of statutory rape between two minors, "the girl is immune to prosecution". This has been appealed by boys who have been the victims of romeo & juliet prosecutions and they are now having to go to the European Courts to have their human rights upheld. I'm normally very proud of my country but things like this fill me with shame.

Anyone, man or woman, who is single can sleep with as many people as they like and still be a good person.

I agree with a lot of that, what I mean is that there seem to be a lot of articles at the moment (to be fair, a lot of them in rags like the Daily Mail and so on) about how women are missing out on kids because men are "selfish", there are no "good men" etc. It's just something I find a little disturbing as a man - in a lot of these news features there's a sort of overwhelming message that having kids is a woman's God given right, regardless of how the man in her life might feel about it.

The impression I have got of MRAs is that you often speak as if men are oppressed by feminism and women, as if women have structural power over men or something. This is something which is even more the case with MGTOW who have even more of a tendency to portray men as the victims. I think the key word here is structured. SJWs would have you believe, for instance, that racism doesn't matter unless it's backed up by something bigger and institutional (which is why they argue that racism against t…

Being honest, I'm almost entirely convinced at this stage that a good portion of SRSers are, a bit like the Westboro Baptist Church, in it purely for the comic value of trolling and don't actually subscribe to the radical beliefs they trumpet.

Sexism = views or actions which are prejudiced based on gender. Institutional whatever is fucking irrelevant. If person X makes a derogatory generalization based on the gender of person Y, person X is being sexist towards person Y. End of story.
