1	Female Soldiers Sue U.S. Challenging Restrictions on Combat heh, sorry.. the pussy thing was a reference to an unrelated absurd comment in here. And I agree about the draft, ideally we wouldn't really need to drag people off the streets to send them off to war. So one way to accomplish this would be to make sure that people who are willing to make this sacrifice can actually join the forces or the reserves and be placed according to their abilities, not gender.	/r/MensRights	25/05/12 04:12 AM
1	What are your problems? I disagree that the problems should mirror each other. There are problems that are faced by both genders that don't have an exact opposite match and this would also encourage the whole oppression olympics thing that usually just obscures any kind of rational discussion of a topic.	/r/MensRights	25/05/12 03:52 AM
5	What are your problems? I think the fact that the problems listed on both sides is kinda the point. We keep getting into heated debates over which side has it worse, and comparing the problems between men and women. That exercise is utterly useless though because both sides of the arguement actually do have problems, but they are different problems and comparing the 2 just confuses everything.	/r/MensRights	25/05/12 03:28 AM
2	Female Soldiers Sue U.S. Challenging Restrictions on Combat To a point, yes it would. The problem that would need to be figured out is that women are built differently than men. So while some would be able to keep up to those standards a large portion of women wouldn't be able to. How do we get around that? Would people be cool with equality for the qualifications to get into the front-line positions if it did mean that there were more men out there getting killed? Which I guess brings me back to the draft thing, why bother making women be a part of the …	/r/MensRights	25/05/12 03:13 AM
3	Female Soldiers Sue U.S. Challenging Restrictions on Combat I thought that one of the things MRA's were interested in was equality in the Military. ie: all the complaining that only men have to be drafted. If that's the case, than why are all the comments on this post about how women need to be held to the same standards as men, how men are killed more often than women, not giving a crap because they're reservists, woman cost more money, ETC ETC. How is this not one step towards a good thing? Nothing gets magically fixed in one step.	/r/MensRights	25/05/12 01:35 AM
1	Student who cried rape is spared jail He told her: “People who make false complaints do so at their peril. >“What you have to take into account is the adverse effects it could have had on the complainant. If a trial had proceeded he could have been facing a lengthy prison sentence. It must have been a very harrowing experience for him.”	/r/MensRights	12/05/12 01:13 AM
2	Just who are men's rights activists? - "The continuing gender pay gap and the fact that men dominate senior positions in public life, show up where the real discrimination is" It's an average of 30% across the workplace. You're telling me you wouldn't notice if someone you worked with got paid more than 30% more than you? Particularly in this day and age, when women are told constantly that they're being paid way less. We've muddied things up a bit here. If somebody can prove their peer is making 30% more than them I'm sure they would go to HR and complain. It doesn't work the same with the "wage gap" How do you prove beyond a doubt that you are being paid less becaus…	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 09:49 PM
1	Just who are men's rights activists? - "The continuing gender pay gap and the fact that men dominate senior positions in public life, show up where the real discrimination is" Yes, but come on. You would know if you were being paid 30% less than someone doing the same job. Maybe not 5 or even 10%, but on AVERAGE 30%? That's ridiculous. If person A is getting paid 5% less than person B they might not know, but if the difference was 30% they would? How does that work? If we're talking generalizations, lets assume that there is a 30% wage gap overall for your job description. Is that in your company or everywhere? If it's everywhere, do they know for a fact that it's als…	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 09:05 PM
5	Just who are men's rights activists? - "The continuing gender pay gap and the fact that men dominate senior positions in public life, show up where the real discrimination is" Playing Devil's Advocate here. I'm not saying that the base concept is wrong (wage gap does/doesn't exist) I just think your questions here don't really justify or prove anything. 1) Because women are viewed as being worth less. There are companies that will actually pay more for folks they believe are worth the extra money. I think several people will agree with the idea that equity hiring is bad because the company is not getting the best person for the job if they have to automatically disqua…	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 08:16 PM
3	So..my EX can get away with vandalism.. well there's the old handy standby of posting the pictures on facebook, mutual friends for this one would work best. You could print out copies of the photos and tape them to her car at her place of work would be best (because of that jibe about you using your car for work) In my case we just went with straight up revenge. The day we moved out of that apartment we egged the crap out of his car on our way out. We knew the police wouldn't care and the guy would no longer have access to my car anym…	/r/MensRights	30/04/12 11:04 PM
3	So..my EX can get away with vandalism.. personal anecdote: I used to live in an apartment building above a complete nutjob. Our first encounter with him was drunken screaming off the balcony at us when we arrived home, walked across the floor and out onto our balcony for a smoke. Over the next 6 months he would randomly throw food off his balcony onto my car. I moved my car to the other side of the lot thinking that would stop him. Nope! He would go out of his way to crack eggs on it. Move my car again to clear the other side of the b…	/r/MensRights	30/04/12 10:41 PM
1	I'm a girl and... Most people in here won't bother to qualify it, since we all know what they mean, but when we say feminists, we don't mean the truly egalitarian-minded or people who are just for women's rights or anything. While that may be true, the original question was why I feel unwelcome here. To outsiders who happen to lean towards feminism everybody in here is hating on it is going to come across exactly as it sounds. The "armchair feminists"-- the ones who call themselves feminists because they think fe…	/r/MensRights	30/04/12 08:25 PM
2	I'm a girl and... I don't think it's that simple though. I don't think this subreddit hates women, but some of its members do say some hateful things about women. And yes, I do mean women and not feminists. On to the feminist thing. There are a lot of men & women in the men's rights movement and they don't all believe the same thing. The same goes for feminists. I have experienced and witnessed a lot of injustices to women over the years so I want to fight for the equality of women in situations where things aren…	/r/MensRights	27/04/12 11:53 PM
3	I'm a girl and... Yup, that was me :) that whole fiasco had me so annoyed! It's more of a general vibe to the comments than ones in specific. A lot of the time the bad ones do end up getting downvoted but the sheer amount of generalized anti-women remarks just gets tiring to read. Some of my personal favs were nonsense about 'western women' or posts of men's rights success stories that have absolutely nothing to do with feminists but end up with a comments to the likes of "oh I bet the feminists are all up in arm…	/r/MensRights	27/04/12 10:25 PM
4	I'm a girl and... I agree, many, if not most, women are perfectly capable and oftentimes perfectly willing to take advantage of the stacked deck men seem to face in the US and many western countries. But not all of us are evil, psychotic, money-grubbing sluts who jump at the chance to screw a male over. It seems a lot of the time, this subreddit treads a very grey area between anti-feminism and anti-female. I remain subscribed because I support many of the beliefs and causes debated here, but I've rarely posted i…	/r/MensRights	27/04/12 12:40 PM
