It depends whether you think feminism as a bulk movement was a genuine movement for equality that was then bastardised, or was it always a prejudiced and one sided campaign for unabashed favouring of women above men in as many areas as possible that is only now becoming undeniable because the only ground left to win involves overt and intentional discrimination rather than subtle institutional nudging and bias across so many wide portions of society. Many male specific issues and disadvantages h…

Yes. I think for many individual feminists the specific reasons why are simpler than that too. They literally do not think in terms of logic and fairness. Their thinking is guided by their emotion. They feel unfairness, unsafety, unprivilege, etc. Then, regardless of whether that is factually true or entirely untrue, whether it is the whole picture or not etc, they use their feeling to guide something akin to "logical and reasoning skills" to advocate for their emotions. Everything that at face-…

Contact sexual violence includes things like being groped once. While that's not to be ignored, it's not to be conflated with domestic violence and intimate partner violence either. In those categories, lesbian women in relationships with women experience greater victimisation than straight women in relationships with men. Rape is commonly defined as only or nearly only being able to be perpetrated by men, and in any case the methods by which women commit sexual misconduct against their partners…

Women are actively legally and societally privileged in several areas of modern life, while men are systematically and institutionally disadvantaged, as well as having their rigid gender roles upheld while women have theirs dismantled. All people are asking for is fairness and balance. For equality. Then you call it an attack and a gender war. It's that simple.

Have a look at the hard evidence that was presented. It is really quite obvious that she was lying. To put it another way, there is far more evidence that points to her lying than there was ever evidence that he had assaulted her, and that case was brought to trial. So she should absolutely be brought to trial and it then determined whether or not she is guilty. In the UK, they don't do this because it is deemed "not in the public interest" to bring trials for women who do this even where the ev…

Statistics in this area are frequently disingenuously used to move finite resources away from equal distributions towards women. The statistic "women spend a greater portion of their lives in ill health than men" is used to argue for greater resource allocation towards women of all ages, but this statistic only becomes "true" because men die 5 years earlier than women, and old people have ill health. If you discount the extra five years, men spend more of their lives -- the first 60-65 years of …

This is a motte and bailey tactic used all the time - lots of genuine injustice and bigotry propagated by self-identified feminists is dismissed because that's not what "real feminist scholars" say. Firstly, let's see those real feminist scholars go at the bigotry and misandry that is currently rampant - the hatred of all men, the undeniable inequality before the law and more. Until we see that we should assume they are not any different in terms of playing what they see as a zero-sum game. Inti…

Feminism in it's current form has never been about making things fair, just, equal or uplifting the downtrodden and unfortunate. It has only ever been about power for those who espouse it. That's why they go straight to eugenics and biological essentialism with respect to incels while completely rejecting the same hypotheses elsewhere.

The blatant, open misandry only really kicked off full steam around 2014-15 or so. It's not unreasonable to think that in another 10-15 years the landscape will be very different.

He was convicted for that and yes, rightly. I meant that in the court proceedings he, or his lawyer on his behalf, had to read out a statement saying how regretful he was and how sorry he was for making the recording. Not just distributing it. That recording virtually saved his life. And had he not made it there's every chance that very same judge in that same statement would be lambasting him about what a sick, twisted excuse for a pathetic man he is for raping a woman when he didn't do it.
/r/MensRights05/06/26 02:50 PM

Perverse in a sense that he had to apologise for recording the sex. Sending it to others without consent he should apologise for. But as the judge vaguely acknowledged, had he not recorded it he would have been in a far, far worse situation. It is so wrong that (false) sexual assault prosecutions in the UK are often more likely to succeed the less evidence there is.

If she actually knew what it was like to be raped, she'd know that (a) if the topic comes up it would be impossible not to think about your own experience, making sharing the fact it happened in the right conversation pretty likely, but also (b) you learn pretty quickly to just deescalate and avoid when someone starts asking questions you have no interest in answering. Who the fuck enjoys being cross examined on the details of their own sexual assault?

Absolutely horrifying. Thanks for the write up. There is this overarching pattern where when men genuinely lie, it becomes established that they lied and unless they are very powerful, consequences ensue. When it is established that women have genuinely lied, what occurs instead is a broad discussion about society, the legal system, complexities surrounding the case, timescales and disparate factors and a lot of "no one comes out of this looking particularly good, do they?". The proximate cause …

I think enough people see through that and are further awakened to the genuine injustice. People don't like being patronised, mocked, talked down to. Perhaps controversially, especially men. And a bit more solidarity from men on these issues (as is already happening in younger generations) is a good thing.

Thank god. I wish a peaceful onward life to Chris Trybus. When I first read about this case, I was really worried - exactly the sort of thing you can imagine going the other way based on emotion and ideology, especially given the jury was 7 women and 5 men. Grateful the jury made the right decision, whatever their reasoning. Horrified the CPS would bring the case and assign their top prosecutors. They will no doubt try again with another unsuspecting victim.

Actual men's rights includes male bodily autonomy (conscription, infant genital mutilation). They include recognising that the erroneously named "pay gap" is entirely explained by pregnancy and career choice, which are personal choices that women have autonomy over, and using that as an excuse to discriminate against and disadvantage men making different choices is a gendered choice that has nothing to do with equality. They include recognising that men make up nearly half of domestic violence v…

Lol. Table 1 of their own working paper shows that black women were contacted less than black men, but white women were contacted more than white men and the most overall. The gap in contact rate between black men and white men is nearly the size of the gap again to the contact rate for white women, which was the highest. And that's with their own data, whose collection I'd be fairly skeptical about given how they've chosen to report it.

It's more that there's rape and then there's rape, and there's trauma and then there's trauma. The truly visceral and life destroying ones are relatively rare, but they do happen to people. Supply doesn't meet demand, so we expanded the definitions to include things that, whatever they are, aren't those life-destroying all encompassing violations that occur more rarely. If we were being precise, we'd use different terminologies, but that doesn't suit the needs of the people who seek to weaponise…

If we accepted that it is not men or women but individual human beings that are both responsible for the evils of the world, and capable of being victim to that evil, then the entire feminist worldview collapses instantaneously.

Good man . I think they're banning moderators from doing this now (via automatic methods anyway), so it should become significantly less prevalent. Well done for holding the line.

You only need to come to men to understand about "personal experiences" that were not recognised as such by the systems meant to do so.

If you are a man, there are vastly, vastly fewer, but I can still let you know where to look. Just let me know.

For a genuine answer - it's the exact opposite. That's why no one wants to talk about it. Men are far, far more likely to be pushed by the unshielded realities of life, the lack of fairness, support, and care, into ending their own lives prematurely. There's no one to turn to, and if there was, turning to them frequently results in further ostracisation and loss of respect, not tangible and pragmatic help.

Agreed. The commenter I just replied to is the one who spoke about male Vs female teachers. That said, given that it isn't a gendered thing, it's a bit strange of her to gender it.

Most MRAs are really egalitarians. We carry this label because no one else wants to talk about it (society is gynocentric and very few are true egalitarians), and because a few select issues eg mens reproductive and fatherhood rights, suicide, etc do deserve special focus. Keep just telling the truth and arguing for what's right. The other side can't really fight reality forever.

This absolutely happens to male teachers. It happened to me when I was teaching. "I'm sure the girls get distracted, do they talk to you like that". "You must get crushes, how do you deal with that". I don't think I'm even particularly attractive, it's enough to be a young male in view of adolescents. This isn't a gendered thing and as I say frequently a result of just what people say rather than something creepy or regarding any independent sexual interest in the member of staff.

She's not standing up for her boys, she's just calling fathers who compliment her without intent of anything sexual or romantic happening creepy for no reason. It wasn't about the boys at all, it was about her. Women always infer that male compliments mean interest.

For a real answer, I don't think many women are socialised as though they're agents of their own lives at all. It literally might not cross some women's minds that "they" as individuals are treating men poorly and that this constitutes their own internal view and reflects on them for other people. They do it because it is what's done, and they've learned to be "nice" which means not actually being nice but going with the crowd.

I don't think men at large ever claim they are victims of everything (or that many men ever claim to be victims of lower-impact things they actually are victims of); the point is they are capable of being victims of some things sometimes. And those victims -- as any true victims -- deserve recognition and support. That's absolutely a point men's rights activists should be making clear.

Feminism also exploits our sort of base biological condition to think women need protecting and men do heavy lifting. This appeals to the overly empathetic left and often to those on the right who believe in traditional gender roles. This is why I think men's rights should generally focus on fundamental fairness, which most humans also stand for, rather than specifically focusing on "lifting men up" (even though it would be correct to do so). It doesn't mean not saying men are disadvantaged spec…

We'll never know in actuality who was in charge. Could have been either of them. They love the phrase "behind every great man is a great woman".

Yeah well absolutely. But look how much the culture has changed in many ways for the better. Womens liberation and understanding of sexual assault (at least regarding female victims etc). There will essentially always be issues in those areas but we've made great strides. Culture can be changed, it takes people standing up and speaking out. I think it's also the case that a lot of women, certainly not all, respond to group dynamics more than men. If it's no longer the culturally expected or soci…

An interesting perspective. Unfortunately (and ironically if you subscribe to "patriarchy" theory), I think getting enough women onside is the only way we're going to get out of where we are. Many women listen a lot more attentively to other women than they do to men.

It's why some of the more vocal women will be angrier at women who tell the truth than they a…

This is actually a good example of how feminists use statistics. For example, in the section "Men who seek custody are more likely than not to get it": Fathers who fight for custody typically get it. Ignoring that they had to fight in the first place while women are awarded it by default in many situations and jurisdictions. Even 30 years ago, 94% of fathers who sought custody got sole or joint custody. Translation: A percentage of men got full custody of their children, which is much smaller th…

I've always thought this is a take that exemplifies men's Vs women's thinking quite well.

The most serious cases of physical sexual assault are more likely to leave physical evidence that can be and is used to prosecute the perpetrators, yes. When there is no such evidence, it is worth questioning whether we should imprison people for say, 4-8 years (UK example), and destroy their entire life after they get out, based on the unsubstantiated or poorly substantiated words of one person.

There's no such thing as a patriarchy for ordinary working men. Even if there was, feminists should then care about dismantling those aspects that "hurt men too".

What I mean is misogyny is societally unacceptable. This is why feminists need to invoke a vacuous and intentionally ill defined "patriarchy" as the lense through which to view everything bad that happens in the world - because genuine and real misogyny is already culturally abhorrent and legally punished even beyond reason.

It doesn't make sense because misandry is a widespread refusal to recognise a vast swathe of male issues in society, care about them as human beings or give them equal treatment in all sorts of important places. And people can say they hate literally all men with impunity, etc. Misogyny is an incredibly fringe practice perpetrated by a small number of men (and some women) who are seen as pathetic and or total outcasts by other men and the rest of society.

The problem is that counting all the deaths ultimately caused by misandry/total lack of base care and support for men versus women, and men being expected to do all the dangerous things, would result in so massive a figure that society couldn't tolerate its recognition.

While it's good to be thorough and one could recognise the limitations, the data as they stand continue to indicate the main point that needs to be made: women are capable of violence and abuse that would be intimidating and dangerous towards men at least as often as men are. Domestic violence laws and attitudes towards the issue should not be gendered. If you're interested in finding genuine misrepresentations of data and drawing of provably disingenuous conclusions, I suggest you have a read o…

I think she starts unfortunately because in the opening paragraphs it seems like she is about to blame men for feeling like victims, but go on and read the rest of the article because she ends up doing the opposite - she blames society and says society is what should change. Yes there could have been more overt criticism of feminism, but I think people who write these articles know you can only get away with so many 'big steps' at a time. I really enjoyed the article.

I think it's an excellent article. She highlights many ways in which society has ignored genuine problems that face men. The section on their total disposability being emphasised by the Ukraine (as soldiers) and Israel-Palestine conflicts (as victims who are not 'women and children') is particularly strong. In it, she mentions that when the war started she tweeted "I never want to hear anyone complaining about manspreading ever again", which is both funny and touches the right nerve regarding th…

The left absolutely has failed men, the premise of his video is wrong. The video says that the left simply need to frame better towards men, change how they message - "the ways and avenues that they try to communicate with them", as he says...

The patriarchy itself doesn't even exist, at least not in the ways that are often claimed. 99.99% of men have no special power, no special privilege, and are in fact seen as disposable (if indeed they are seen at all) and frequently ignored or downtrodden, all through history. I think most of us are wondering when this society structured to benefit and prioritise men is coming to help us rather than keep on beating us down.

I actually fundamentally disagree with this. Arguing for the fair treatment of men, recognition of male-specific problems, can and should come from a place of stoic strength and adherence to logic and fundamental fairness, not any feminine quality or victim mentality. Where it does, it is powerful. From the perspective of this subreddit, I've literally slept with multiple women because of getting talking about the 'men's rights agenda' in a polarising way. Keep it at logic and fairness, which is…

That's for wasting police time. You can get more for perverting the course of justice. In practice this is almost never pursued, at the personal discretion of the director of public prosecution, partially because of that convenient fear that such prosecutions (which would already need to have passed the evidential test ie belief that the evidence is such that a jury is more likely than not to convict) will "deter real victims from coming forward".

Reeves makes a lot of salient points and I enjoyed his contributions. I do think he needs to be a little firmer on the fact that there are some issues specifically faced by men where the issues are regulatory or legal, and financial. It is not 'neglect' alone, as he would like to maintain. Certainly a lot of it is, but there are specific ways that systems and institutions are set up at the moment that can be actively harmful towards men. These are even encased in what he is talking about. Reduci…

People can and do. False accusations can frequently be distinguished from genuine ones by their lack of specificity. False accusers use broad, general terms and phrases like "maybe I shouldn't have felt this way, but..." or "it all just felt a bit off", "kinda creepy", "didn't feel entirely safe". Others can read into that sort of thing and get a lot more angry than they would if they had seen the events in question play out as they did in reality.

That's a surprising figure for your own life. Usually figures that high are arrived at by including things most people wouldn't really consider as sexual assault (eg receiving an unwanted compliment, or being touched at the waist unexpectedly/without explicit consent). In a nefarious context, these could constitute sexual transgressions but not by themselves and the surveys are often asking for instances without any context.

The title is so indicative of the problem, as well as many points about how the rest of the article had to be written.

It's because they know that as soon as they let one thread fall the whole web unravels. If men can have specific mental health problems and needs, not stressed properly by society as it stands, resulting from pressures in society as it stands, then that means shock, horror, men are people too, the vast majority of us don't benefit from the "patriarchy" or have immeasurably easier lives, etc. The fantasy and justification behind most elements of female oppression/female victimhood rather than "ma…

So sorry you went through that. It's the same now except they have more techniques for excusing the lies of women (or any false accuser, which they assume to be "vanishingly rare"). There is no way an investigator would suggest to an alleged victim that she might be lying, that would be so traumatising. They will ask whether that same "trauma" they are pre-assumed to have might have caused them to misremember some details (or have memory gaps completely) where the story is inconsistent. They can…

Good video. One correction is what he says about domestic violence, for which there is gender parity and is not a female issue or a gendered issue.

That's great but a single thread on perhaps the most pertinent legal and political issue for men and boys, false accusations and male sexual assault, does not represent a catastrophic slide into what you say it does.

I think at the moment, while the excesses of such ideologies should be addressed with concern, it's the lesser of the evils. You can barely discuss any male issue in public without repercussions.

Male domination of things like depression and drug use at the scale of global society is not because of the individual choices of men or men failing to help themselves.

I struggle to see how you are reading it that way. It says "a rape he did not commit". There is no reference to whether or not the rape actually happened, in fact being strict about it the opposite is what would be inferred from the original title.

Being incorrectly identified is a common form of false accusation. If you are uncomfortable with the word false, you can refer to a wrongful accusation.

People default to believing you about rape. They default to avoiding you and "not knowing what happened but I'm gonna stay away from that guy" about false accusations. That's certainly been my experience after I was raped by a woman who immediately when she was done called the police to falsely accuse me of rape to defend herself.

False accusations are not at all rare, despite what feminist institutions attempt to tell you, and the impact on victims of false accusations (male or female) is devastating.

A false accusation with the tiniest amount of planning and kept as vague as possible will ruin or at least severely waylay the life and career of any male target for months to years.
