1	TIL about Sally Gearhart, who founded the first womens and gender studies program, and believed the human population should reduce the male portion to 10% because of the "danger of male-bonding" If the future is female it’s because the men died trying to take care of the present.	/r/MensRights	01/05/19 12:52 AM
4	TIL about Sally Gearhart, who founded the first womens and gender studies program, and believed the human population should reduce the male portion to 10% because of the "danger of male-bonding" But but but why can’t my daughter be a Boy Scout? “Literally segregation!!!” (Insert Shapiro joke?)	/r/MensRights	01/05/19 12:51 AM
1	Professor uses feminist buzzwords to successfully publish entire pages of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in academic journals I don’t have an answer to your question but I do think it’s important to bring up that the entire field of academia will treat you as a respected scholar whether or not your paper is published in a journal with real standards or a “pay to play” one (I like that comparison by the way, very accurate). Just being able to say that you’ve been published is a huge thing to a lot of professors and researchers, as said by a professor of mine behind closed doors. No one really questions the integrity of …	/r/MensRights	31/03/19 02:35 AM
3	BBC completely ignored the story last time a female MP was arrested for domestic violence, so I reminded them of their duty to cover the Layla Moran arrest - 5 hours later they published this article! This. I heard this all the time from my male friends in high school. One even came in with a faint bruise on his jaw and the first question was, “Who did she catch you with?” Of course, while listening to their conversation about violent girls that like to smack, punch, and throw things, the tone of the conversation was light, as if it was just natural to have to face that kind of abuse in a relationship.	/r/MensRights	26/03/19 10:31 PM
1	BBC completely ignored the story last time a female MP was arrested for domestic violence, so I reminded them of their duty to cover the Layla Moran arrest - 5 hours later they published this article! I think it’s a problem in society that we assume any violent woman must be justified. Your emotions shouldn’t make whatever violence you do excused.	/r/MensRights	26/03/19 10:28 PM
10	‘Our goal is to halve the male suicide rate’: why no-frills therapy works for men I’m so glad these kinds of things are actually being not only talked about, but acted on. Our current approach to mental health has obviously severely neglected men in need. Hopefully we are well on our way to bringing true healing to everyone, regardless of sex.	/r/MensRights	23/03/19 08:59 PM
1	In Canada we have an Amber Alert system - where if a child goes missing - everyone is notified. We had one earlier this week and this is the father’s response. Very poignant explanation of misuse of t I may have perceived it differently, sometimes I get really mad when I think one thing is happening and I don’t think it through so I just react. Either way, she was being pretty rude with that first remark, in my opinion at least.	/r/MensRights	22/03/19 02:03 PM
21	In Canada we have an Amber Alert system - where if a child goes missing - everyone is notified. We had one earlier this week and this is the father’s response. Very poignant explanation of misuse of t When I helped my dad get groceries after his surgery a lot of people glared at him because they thought he was a dirty old man that married a girl half his age. One woman had the gall to say, “is that your girlfriend or your granddaughter?” I’m not proud of it, but I was angry and wanted to have the last word so I ripped off of a recent roast I saw and said, “Don’t you have a failing marriage to worry about? Mind your own business.” There’s no way any older man has anything other than a sexual m…	/r/MensRights	21/03/19 11:32 PM
4	Evil foster mum starved and drugged her son for eight years to claim £50,000 benefits to splurge on luxuries Highlighting difference in media coverage, too. I haven’t seen this anywhere.	/r/MensRights	19/03/19 11:42 PM

1	Now this is true equality Relationships are best when both people don’t lose the kind of high school sweethearts feeling. Not for the shallow infatuation or rush of dopamine, but the strong desire to just make your partner happy, to just do things for no reason other than making them happy. It’s when partners start expecting the other to do things without any gratitude that everyone becomes unhappy and unwilling to do anything kind anymore. Affection should always balance out, both ways.	/r/MensRights	19/03/19 08:32 PM
3	Dad being a Dad That seems really excessive, I’d think it would get in the way of people that want to be supportive of their kids and even discourage it. Was this a bigger school? The school my siblings go to is small so everyone knows who everyone is, just flash them an ID, go through the detector, and you’re good.	/r/MensRights	19/03/19 08:24 PM
6	Dad being a Dad It makes me almost cry to think about all the things my Dad gave up just to be there for me for little things. He never expected a thank you or anything, just that “glow” was all he needed. It’s amazing what you don’t realize you have until later on, when you hear stories and see just how much was sacrificed for your sake.	/r/MensRights	19/03/19 08:20 PM
9	Seems we were wrong about male suicide rates, we must now stand corrected - male suicide rate is higher because ignorant men don’t think about who will have to find them /s Leave it to the hipster artsy fartsy types to gloss over real struggles for the sake of “deep” and “edgy” aesthetics. Why do you think every teenage girl’s DeviantArt OC has cuts and their bio is nothing but a list of mental health problems that the artist themselves aren’t even really informed on and are only going off of stereotypes?	/r/MensRights	18/03/19 05:51 AM
5	Seems we were wrong about male suicide rates, we must now stand corrected - male suicide rate is higher because ignorant men don’t think about who will have to find them /s Wow, this is the most insensitive thing I think I’ve ever read. Why not just spit in the face of the suicidal or those who have lost someone to suicide? Why not? They’re just men, after all. It makes it worse that these absolute morons just nod their heads at each other and no one is allowed to say anything because that would be misogynistic and (based on those profile pics) racist. If I see them spouting mental health problems in their bios I’m gonna laugh because anyone that has been anywhere …	/r/MensRights	18/03/19 05:40 AM
2	If you say “mansplaining” to me in a conversation you will lose all credibility with me and I will 100% call you out on it. Ahhhh! Thanks, I couldn’t remember the exact one!	/r/MensRights	17/03/19 07:52 PM

18	An Excerpt from 'Confessions of a Male Nurse' demonstrating male disposabilty and sexism in the work place. Same thing with my father’s workplace. He’s at a distribution center doing heavy lifting and reaching into spider and snake infested produce all the time. Of course, the men that want to work there are expected to do this while the women are handed clipboards and told to yell at someone if they drop something. There is always the option for the women to switch over and do the physical stuff, and for the men to be the one’s keeping things in order, but it just doesn’t happen and no one minds it.	/r/MensRights	14/03/19 03:44 PM

1	Lost my job because I was targeted for being a white male Wow. Even though I’m a woman I’ve had some bad experiences with women that have authority over me, and so when I got to a point that I decided to see a counselor I requested a male. I felt a lot less tense and much more welcomed in the space, and it helped me get to the bottom of why I was having a hard time with female authority. You were 100% in the right that it is important to have both sexes present in that space, anyone should be able to request a male or female therapist if that’s what wi…	/r/MensRights	12/03/19 10:32 PM
2	Mother-of-two, 40, falsely branded a neighbour a sex offender because he 'made too much noise building a guinea pig hutch in his garden'. It seems for many women if they do not get their way they make a false sex allegation knowing a man is not protected by the law. I definitely agree that people are hammering in the idea that these traits are “admirable” in girls. Every piece of media promotes a “spunky” girl that is “challenging norms” by doing nothing other than being a real bitch. The cartoons my little siblings watch are full of sadistic and condescending female characters that bully everyone around them, with the exception of other girls.	/r/MensRights	04/03/19 09:19 PM

It seems for many women if they do not get their way they make a false sex allegation knowing a man is not protected by the law. If someone doesn’t give you what you want the way you want it, threaten them. If they call you out, cry. If they still refuse your BS, cry to the police. If the police see through your BS, take it to social media and destroy the existence of every dissenter. And because you’re a little lady you were the victim all along.	/r/MensRights	04/03/19 02:54 PM

It seems for many women if they do not get their way they make a false sex allegation knowing a man is not protected by the law. I think it’s an effect of our culture promoting the idea that women are always victims of circumstance somehow. It’s never a woman’s own fault. Thinking you can get away with it is a pretty good extra motive to commit fraud of any kind for any intent, whether that be benefitting yourself, harming someone else, or both.	/r/MensRights	04/03/19 02:40 PM
3	How male victims of domestic abuse often end up getting arrested themselves The Duluth Model is absolutely disgustingly biased. The unadulterated version, complete with exclusive he=abuser and she=victim, was taught in my friend’s gender studies course. No revisions, nothing from the professor about the fact that it can be reverse and that it happens in non-heterosexual relationships as well. It’s the kind of purposeful silence that feminists say is “rape culture” when it affects women, but when it is hurting male victims or invisiblizing other victims it’s just challen…	/r/MensRights	04/03/19 01:26 PM

3	Lesbian Women Have Higher Rates of Domestic Violence Than Hetero Women, 43.8% I struggled to get back into the social and romantic world after that, but things have steadily gotten better. I’m scarred, but it was an experience that opened my eyes to the fact that violence like that is wrong no matter the sex of your partner. I really think these statistics show that, as a society, we think any kind of violence a woman does must be justified. Even my male high school friends that were slapped in the face or kicked by their gfs were asked, “what did you do?” and “did you ge…	/r/MensRights	02/03/19 05:57 PM
3	Lesbian Women Have Higher Rates of Domestic Violence Than Hetero Women, 43.8% I’m a bi (leaning to girls) female and I had a manipulative and abusive gf for 4 years. I was the more masculine one in the relationship (yes, that happens sometimes, and anyone that pretends it isn’t fairly common is really desperate for their ideology to remain unchallenged). She would slap and shove for a while, then it became bottle throwing and then heavier things. At first she would cry. “I didn’t mean to,” and “It’ll never happen again!” were common words. I believed her. I made excuses f…	/r/MensRights	02/03/19 07:05 AM
