3	So, this thread just got me banned from r/2xc. So much for intelligent debate. You must be scanning our posts assiduously indeed. We talk about you all the time, and you seem to catch us every time. Not really. I do know other people who post here, however, and this was shown to me for a chuckle. The only reasons I posted were because I figured that XFDRaven's posts about me called up 3 pages of links on Google (which is what was linked to me), I'd probably hurt him and owed him an apology. You know we're all speaking for an audience here, and you have many more fans than …	/r/MensRights	06/07/10 05:03 AM
3	So, this thread just got me banned from r/2xc. So much for intelligent debate. Ah, Stemgang, I explained my 'side' of the story here if you're interested. I'm quite curious at your suggestion that I've abused you, if you feel I have you ought to let me know. My rhetorical style is a bit rough. The last 2X post of yours I commented on was the one about Islam in France. There, I did a fair bit of speculating on your motives and yes that's perhaps an unpleasant habit of mine. Sorry. I do feel, however, that the rest of what I said there, in terms of conceptualising the issue …	/r/MensRights	06/07/10 03:58 AM
6	So, this thread just got me banned from r/2xc. So much for intelligent debate. Hello again, Raven. I thought I'd reply to this since it's been brought to my attention by a few friends who subscribe to MR that you've mentioned me quite a few times, and I was indeed quite shocked that my name comes up so often when you speak of 2X or feminism. I would say that I'm flattered, but I'm mostly puzzled. Given Qeraeth's behavior with her latest subreddit invasion on /MR If we're going to talk about intellectual dishonesty, let us begin with this. What constitutes a "subreddit inva…	/r/MensRights	06/07/10 03:44 AM
1	The next "Equal Occupational Fatality Day" is Sunday October 11, 2020. This date symbolizes how far into the future women are expected to work to experience the same loss of life from work-related deaths that men experienced in just the single year 2008. women in middle class jobs like retail, customer service, etc. Those are not middle class jobs in the West by any definition. India, yes, but one presumes you're talking about the US. Furthermore, do you honestly think there's affirmative action for cashiers and people working in phone banks? It seems that's what you implied very strongly there. and the fact that they would be in horror at the thought of a (white) women having to do such fetid work, so they sacrifice themselves for women essenti…	/r/MensRights	27/04/10 06:38 AM
5	The next "Equal Occupational Fatality Day" is Sunday October 11, 2020. This date symbolizes how far into the future women are expected to work to experience the same loss of life from work-related deaths that men experienced in just the single year 2008. this supposed oppression of middle class white women in upper-middle class jobs You mean like sweatshops, maid work, housekeeping and the like, several of which also have intersections with questions of race, class, and immigration-status which are of precious concern to a subreddit that is recently on record equivocating on white privilege and racial oppression? A good deal of the service industry, which is something one might call neo-proletarian, is occupied by women. Feminism certainly has h…	/r/MensRights	27/04/10 06:04 AM
4	Worlds Leading Expert on Masculinity Has His Own Penis Cut Off Such projection. Exactly how was anything I wrote 'hate'? Towards what? Intolerance? And Transsexual propaganda? That's quite rich; yes, accepting trans people as the identities they make for themselves rather than what ignorance such as yours projects onto them. Such a heinous and evil agenda. My arguments do speak for themselves. Compassion, individualist dignity, and justice in the face of your imperious and reactionary attempts to tell others how to live. To even have the audacity to tell th…	/r/MensRights	23/04/10 10:31 PM
4	Worlds Leading Expert on Masculinity Has His Own Penis Cut Off You do not change something this drastically if you appreciate and accept. It is really that simple. Transformation is not rejection in any sense. It's just metamorphosis; it's also eminently natural. Why? Because we evolved to be sentient creators of meaning. It's the essence of humanity to do so with one's body. You're drawing artificial and meaningless standards on this issue. Again, you do not respect Crypto because you're imposing your political ideology onto her lived reality. however, is …	/r/MensRights	23/04/10 10:27 PM
5	Worlds Leading Expert on Masculinity Has His Own Penis Cut Off Everything I do and say here is because I do love and respect the human body(including yours) and because I see that you do not. That's quite the arrogant thing to say when you adamantly insist on refusing to understand how trans people see themselves (an incredibly variant thing, to be certain, there are a multitude of trans self-understandings, but you seem to have grasped not a one.) You do not respect her body because you're laying a claim on its identity, you act as if you know Cryptogirl b…	/r/MensRights	23/04/10 08:57 PM
4	Worlds Leading Expert on Masculinity Has His Own Penis Cut Off Wrong. I challenged the legitimacy of an academicians work because I found it misandric, and also find that the source of that misandry is likely rooted in mental illness, as defined by the APA. You're simply rephrasing what I accused you of but not changing its substance. Leaving aside the fact that you're making a very specious claim to psychiatric authority- an authority being challenged by psychiatrists themselves as evidenced by recent proposed changes to the DSM which are built on a good d…	/r/MensRights	23/04/10 01:47 AM
4	Worlds Leading Expert on Masculinity Has His Own Penis Cut Off I am under no illusions that I can convince you any aspect of her work was not, indeed, misandrist nor that I can disabuse you of this particular footnote that underscores your beliefs regarding this matter: and used in efforts to deconstruct masculinity and reshape it to conform to feminist ideological ideals, most of which are demonstrably anti-male, anti-marriage, anti-heterosexual, and in some cases, anti-white. Which seems to confuse decentralising those groups and ideas from "normality" wi…	/r/MensRights	22/04/10 09:52 PM
7	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program The fear of the feminine you are describing is something I would describe as a fear of the other. Generalising the problem will obviate its solutions. Why is it that so much that is taboo to men is that which is labelled "feminine"? That is not a coincidence. You act as if the only one bullying would be men, yet women hold up those stereotypes as well. Never said that either. Nor does it disprove what I'm saying. I've written countless times about how women act as handmaidens of patriarchy. Oppr…	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 10:58 PM
5	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program What I also do not understand, is the backlash this course is getting before it even started. You tell us time and time again that feminism is more about feminisms, that feminists are the biggest critiques of feminism that feminism is all about different point of views (and I assume discussion of those) yet add another point of view and suddenly we see tear filled eyes and witness a semi-huge backlash This isn't "another point of view." It is, rather, the point of view most prominently expressed…	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 10:43 PM
5	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program This comment came over a bit misandric. With all due respect you have got to be kidding. As if gays don't come out of the closet because "Fucking men is for girls". No. Leaving aside the LGBT intersectionality for a second, the way social pressure works here is that, yes, he fears society's reaction to him. But that knowledge does not exist in a vacuum. He knows he's not supposed to do anything that can be spun as girly, gay, or feminine. To be effeminate or to be otherwise unmanly is unforgivea…	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 10:09 PM
1	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program Females get the slip on a lot of cultural norms Treated in a different way, perhaps, but we do not 'get the slip.' Indeed, for a woman to be masculine and successful in society's view requires something of a tightrope walk where a woman must not be too masculine lest she be understood purely as a 'cold bitch', as well as in touch with her innate femininity so she can still be a good mother or perform other emotional labour. would, without a doubt, say that there is far, far more pressure in mode…	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 09:45 PM
-4	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program The best thing I could do were you in front of me and spoke of your opinions on feminism would be to dismiss myself and socialize with healthier individuals. Mmm hmm... the personal attacks you've made. Cutting out the personal attacks, So, which is it? Personal attacks take away from and obscure an argument or they're fair game to use? Yes, my comment was overloaded with snark because that's the level of seriousness your conception of political reality deserves to be treated with. In order to m…	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 09:51 AM
-1	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program Exactly why I'm wasting my time. And exactly why you're soldiering on valiantly, good sir! To waste your time with yet more words! What ho? Another Orwell reference! Words which are plus good only and no words which may be unplus good. Given your past statements about the evils of "PC"- which itself may be more properly called an Orwell-style neologism, a blanket term devoid of all meaning that is meant to close down ideologically unsound discussion- I'm seriously doubting the sincerity of your …	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 07:17 AM
1	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program Feminine Evangelism you're bringing to this subreddit. ::lays her hand on your forehead:: You are healed, mah son! Uhg she should have stayed in /2X. Yeah, that would've been really nice. We were in the middle of the Goddess-worshipping blood ritual where we drink each other's menstrual blood. It's a lot of fun. We were going to pass around male voodoo dolls to work out our existential hate of teh menz, but I'm missing that right now. Alas. Why? Because I care. I care about you, XFDRaven. And on…	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 06:48 AM
1	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program It was inciteful. As I said, I substantiated the comparison. No one's really explaining why it was a bad comparison (i.e. demonstrating how ID differs dramatically from Male Studies [note, not Men's Studies] in so wide a qualitative manner that it's clear I was being needlessly inflammatory.) She omitted the fact that feminism began as a reactionary movement Yes and no. It's a little more complicated than that. As always though, the focus is on feminism's "reaction" to white cis men. Not it's mu…	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 06:30 AM
3	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program Comparing something intellectual to ID is like comparing something moral/political to Nazism. That's a rather circuitous Godwin. ::winks:: It is a valid comparison and I did substantiate it well. There is ample reasonable discussion about men's issues; this is, again, very much like right wing Christians who assert that we ought to 'teach the controversy' and that their freedom of speech, etc, is being suppressed. Precisely the same set of tactics that misappropriate the concept of free speech a…	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 05:27 AM
0	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program She's a feminist through and through Yarr, that I am, matey. but she's always courteous and logical in her posts. I greatly appreciate the plea for mercy and the compliments, hun. Cheers! I should say in my own un-defence though that I'm not always courteous. :P Particularly when it comes to transphobes. I tend to be rather forthright. Thanks again, though. :P My first confirmed MR downvote brigade! I'm so proud... ::sniffles:: Thanks guys, I couldn't have done it without you!	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 04:22 AM
3	A post on TwoXChromosomes about "Male Studies" program I'm sorry, but when one of the first points is to try to equate the concept that men need protection too with intelligent design, it's really hard to see that person as logical going forward. And I'm sorry but that's not what I said. I equated "Male Studies" specifically with the intelligent design movement in a way that I substantiated fairly well. I did not equate the protection of men, or the concept thereof with ID and it's quite dishonest to suggest I did. As for any equation of 'protection…	/r/MensRights	15/04/10 03:57 AM
6	Hey, MensRights! How do you feel about transgender men? I know a guy who Oh man, this should be great. I don't care what other people do. And yet, we get these essays from you that express a very good deal of caring about what other people do, to the point of policing it with violence. Definition-creep is really getting out of control these days... However, now that we're getting to the meat of this, let's go over something quickly here: The law should treat them as they treat anyone else, although I'm ok with them being kept out of general populatio…	/r/MensRights	11/04/10 07:22 PM
3	TwoXC on /r/MensRights I saw allegations of transphobia on that thread, which is disappointing. I can't imagine a gender identity issue having a negative bearing on men's rights. It's a shame that things like that would occur. Given that my comment on the subject has caused this level of consternation, I feel I should clarify something. The OP on the 2XC thread asked for both opinions of r/MensRights as a subreddit and for views on the broader movement. When I talked about transphobia, I was discussing it in the conte…	/r/MensRights	07/02/10 05:52 AM
1	'Angry Wimmin' - BBC documentary exposes feminist extremists who are unashamed of their hatred of men I'll jump in here because you raise good points that demand answers. And what exactly is the legitimate work of a female advocacy movement in 2010 in Western democracies? You answered your own question. but most of the money and attention seems to be on traditional, Second-Wave, bourgeois white women's issues. Let me ask you this. Are bourgeois white women the only women who live in Western democracies? Are they the only ones with citizenship or residency in such countries? If not, then you've a…	/r/MensRights	24/12/09 06:07 AM
