1	Workplace gender equality ...In which Douggem proves that he cannot read. 1) When did I say that I worked at a grocery store? 2) Telling me what you don't think is the answer isn't the same as telling me what you think the answer is.	/r/MensRights	23/09/14 11:11 PM
1	Workplace gender equality There is hiring discrimination, though. Don't you think that's wrong? And that we should do something about it? But what does any of this have to do with feminists? There are no feminists or anyone else saying that people should be hired for jobs they don't apply for. That's insane. What exactly do you think feminists are fighting for? To place women in jobs they don't want to dominate all industries and take over the world? If you're not a conspiracy theorist, answer my question.	/r/MensRights	23/09/14 10:59 PM
1	Workplace gender equality No, the point of the image was to support a conspiracy theory about hiring discrimination against men. Most of the people in this thread understood that. Hence all of the "Feminists did this! Some are more equal than others!" bullshit comments Now there are a few of you backpedaling now that the theory has been proven wrong. You fucking idiots. Learn how words work. It's not clever to say "more equal!!!" OK, it just sounds like you don't know what the word equal means.	/r/MensRights	23/09/14 10:45 PM
0	Workplace gender equality I'm sure the OP will see that link in the comments. All he has to do is realize that he made a mistake and offer a clarification. But he won't do that because it would interfere with his feminist conspiracy theory agenda.	/r/MensRights	23/09/14 02:18 AM

0	Workplace gender equality No answer? I'll save you the trouble then. BOOM https://www.wgea.gov.au/about-wgea/diversity-wgea-0 What happened is that, surprise, men weren't applying for jobs in this office and they largely only had women applicants to choose from. Now WGEA is implementing actions to encourage more men to apply. "Additionally, your ellipses sicken me."	/r/MensRights	23/09/14 01:17 AM
0	Workplace gender equality "I'm not saying it's right, but that kind of stuff is why women are discriminated against in the workplace" NO It's not right! I know why women are discriminated against in the workplace, but I just don't give a fuck because there isn't a single good reason to discriminate. And there are lots of reasons. One reason is because assholes like you shit on people for requiring a lighter workload when their carrying a huge parasite in their body! Another reason is because people don't think that a hea…	/r/MensRights	23/09/14 01:06 AM

2	Workplace gender equality I've worked in four different federal offices across the US. I've never seen an office staff that was overwhelmingly male or female.

Needless to say, I'm perfectly capable of performing the jobs I apply to, because obviously, I know my capabilities better than anyone. There are all kinds of jobs that I know I won't get just because I'm a woman.

-5	Workplace gender equality The first problem with this plan is that he can't possibly get the CVs of all the applicants that the women in his office were competing against. You would need those to determine if his colleagues were in fact less qualified than other male applicants. The second problem is that this could be damaging to his self-righteousness. If he got a copy of the women's CVs he might find out they are all very well qualified and were very likely hired based on merit, which I am positive is the case.	/r/MensRights	22/09/14 10:35 PM

1	Always hold the door open Wait, do you all agree with this image or disagree? Do you think this is an mra message or a feminist message? I'm curious, because I can see it going both ways. If you're wondering, I agree with it whether it's mra or feminist, because gendered manners are bullshit. Manners should work the same between all people regardless of gender, and it's wrong to treat women like helpless little flowers.	/r/MensRights	10/12/13 06:04 PM

When I said "feminists think fathers should have an equal role in childcare" you interpreted that as "feminists think fathers should do all the childcare". COME ON. Why do so many idiots love to create tedious, meaningless comment conversations based on intentional misreadings? Guess what, there's not boogie (wo)man and you know it.

I think you're confusing modern feminists with Christian fundamentalists. That one should really just be dropped from the list. It's outdated and has never been picked up by any faction of feminism since the 19th century. Feminists have actively been trying to abolish the trend wherein women are compelled to assume the responsibility of childcare.

"having to prove that the meaning of the screencapped tweets is as the NTP poster characterized them in her argument" "The sky is purple" is a perfect and direct analogy. You want me to prove that "Not all rape is violent" means "Not all rape is violent". I can't do that other than to say that I have no evidence to the contrary. I'm challenging you to prove that "Not all rape is violent" means anything other than "Not all rape is violent".

0	This seventeen-year-old MRA is currently being harassed and bullied by a number of feminists on Twitter - leaving him fearful for his safety. Wrong! When you said "According to you rape has to be violent or its not rape" you meant attacking-and-beating type violence. I was disagreeing that violence is always attacking-and-beating type violence. Wow! It took you sooo long to explain what alleged contradiction I committed and you were completely fucking wrong all along! You're so funny.

Well, I've made it clear how I feel about "non-violent rape", so I don't understand why you're so hung up on that point. It's not even the topic of this discussion.

You're saying that there's context missing, I'm saying that I've looked for it and can't find it, and then you're not presenting it to me. If you can present the missing context that unambiguously shows that he doesn't believe in a meaningful distinction between "violent" and "non-violent" rape, I'll gladly admit I was wrong.

"Just because there wasn't physical damage and overt violence doesn't mean it wasn't rape" This is exactly the message that I got from reading his comments in context. "Rape can be non-violent" is just an abbreviated way of saying the same thing. It's clear on both his Twitter and NTP that he doesn't condone rape of any sort, but that he thinks there's a meaningful distinction between "violent" and "non-violent" rape.

Does that context reveal that he doesn't actually believe that rape can be non-violent? Because all the comments of his that I've read made it sound like that's what he believes. I'm not convinced. I don't see how NTP framed his views differently than he framed them himself. Besides, a guy who's labeled as "that guy who believes in non-violent rape" will only be viewed in a bad light by people who disagree with that position. There are plenty of people who agree with it.	/r/MensRights	29/11/13 05:26 AM

You say rape is always violent." I don't say one way or the other, because I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about the common feminist concept about rape and violence. If you need a review of said concept, see every single one of my earlier comments. "according to your definition of rape if an action is not violent, then we cant call it rape."

No, anecdotal instances of bias aren't a conspiracy, but if Google were to intentionally feature pro-woman causes while ignoring pro-man causes, that would be a conspiracy to minimize men's cause. Furthermore, if that were true and a person interpreted that bias to mean that Google wishes violence against men (as the OP did) that person would be a conspiracy theorist.

Here, pay attention this time: 1) "Rape isn't always violence" and "Rape is always violence, violence isn't always attacking and beating" don't mean the same thing 2) The kid said the first statement, feminists say the second statement, so feminists aren't doing anything inconsistent by disagreeing with him and agreeing with each other.

It just restates his point and then offers a rebuttal. Is it wrong to disagree in text with someone on the internet? And what about their response was irrational or emotional? They typed two concise, light-hearted sentences in response. It couldn't have been less "irrational and emotional". And again, there was no misrepresentation.

The kid lives in England. Why are you backpedalling now? First you made it sound like you think NTP is guilty of defamation under Australian law, and when I asked you about it you changed your story as if you were just interested in an objective analysis of defamation…	/r/MensRights	25/11/13 03:16 AM
1	This seventeen-year-old MRA is currently being harassed and bullied by a number of feminists on Twitter - leaving him fearful for his safety. This is so far off topic. I'm not going to discuss rape v violence with you. Rape is violence, that's a fact and that's all I'm saying about it. Regarding my last comment; I was just clarifying the difference between what feminists say and what this Owen guy is saying. They're not saying the same thing. Learn to read before replying, please, and then stay on topic.	/r/MensRights	25/11/13 03:02 AM
0	This seventeen-year-old MRA is currently being harassed and bullied by a number of feminists on Twitter - leaving him fearful for his safety. Ok, but why? Your comment made it sound like you think this is a case of libel, and that would make you wrong. You're just clarifying defamation law, and I'm just putting it in context of this event.	/r/MensRights	25/11/13 01:51 AM

No, feminists say that not all rape victims wind up bloodied and bruised. Not all rape involves blood-and-bruise type violence, but all rape is violence. That's hardly the same thing as saying that rape can occur without violence.	/r/MensRights	25/11/13 01:41 AM
-1	This seventeen-year-old MRA is currently being harassed and bullied by a number of feminists on Twitter - leaving him fearful for his safety. Are you just giving me a policy lesson? Libel and defamation laws are pretty simple, and I understood them before your lesson. What you haven't done is apply your lesson to the case at hand. Have you looked at the NameTheProblem entry or his Twitter account? Do you really think NTP has done something wrong. I've looked at both of them, and I can tell you that they haven't. Does it count as defamation if the NTP republished his personal information and actual thoughts and words exactly as they ap…	/r/MensRights	25/11/13 01:22 AM
-1	This seventeen-year-old MRA is currently being harassed and bullied by a number of feminists on Twitter - leaving him fearful for his safety. You didn't even look at the website, did you? There were screencaps, published exactly the way they appear on his Twitter. The only commentary made by NameTheProblem was "Owen Eastwood is a Men’s Rights Activist in Brighton, England who believes in 'nonviolent rape.' We expect 'nonviolence rape' is like 'healthy cancer.' Like unicorns, it does not exist." They're restating his point and then disagreeing with it. Unless you think that expressing disagreement with an MRA is slander, this isn't sla…	/r/MensRights	25/11/13 12:58 AM
-1	This seventeen-year-old MRA is currently being harassed and bullied by a number of feminists on Twitter - leaving him fearful for his safety. They're using his name, picture, location, and screen caps of a few comments he made on Twitter. All shit that HE made public. How is that a violation of his privacy?	/r/MensRights	24/11/13 05:56 AM
0	This seventeen-year-old MRA is currently being harassed and bullied by a number of feminists on Twitter - leaving him fearful for his safety. No it's not. NameTheProblem posted a half dozen screen caps of comments THAT HE MADE. Watch this... dysgraphia_add says: That looks like a fairly clear cut case of libal [sic] to me. I just committed libel against dysgraphia_add!	/r/MensRights	24/11/13 05:46 AM
0	This seventeen-year-old MRA is currently being harassed and bullied by a number of feminists on Twitter - leaving him fearful for his safety. Slander? Are you kidding? NameTheProblem used his picture, name, and location which he made public on Twitter. Then they published a half dozen screen caps THAT HE HIMSELF WROTE. "Slander" would be if they were saying things about him that aren't true. What do you think slander means?	/r/MensRights	24/11/13 05:36 AM

I tried to play it off like expediency, but really I was covering up the TRUTH that as much as 40% of women are traffickers. Mwah ha ha! Wrong, I was going with an estimate because I didn't feel like going back to the article to check. My only agenda was expediency. No ax grinding here. I'm not a reddit regular. I just find myself here occassionally. I still don't know what you're "That's one static along..." comment meant.	/r/MensRights	19/11/13 11:51 PM
0	Child sex traffic - yes, more boys are victims, and many women are buyers. Surprised Alternet published this. I'm not sure what this has to do with my comment. You said that women queue up to sell their children. I didn't understand why you felt the need to emphasize 35% of traffickers, so I pointed out the other 65%.	/r/MensRights	19/11/13 09:37 PM
0	Child sex traffic - yes, more boys are victims, and many women are buyers. Surprised Alternet published this. Men queue up to sell their children, too. 65% of traffickers are men.	/r/MensRights	19/11/13 09:22 PM
0	Child sex traffic - yes, more boys are victims, and many women are buyers. Surprised Alternet published this. It's exceedingly believable that this "made it through". They were interpreting evidence and statistics. What do you think they would have done? Pretended that those facts aren't facts?	/r/MensRights	19/11/13 09:20 PM
