Yeah somewhere else in this thread someone told me that saying this wouldn't get me laid. Lmao. It's really too bad. I love the message that this sub sometimes spreads, but at the same time there just so many sexist users here. I've unsubscribed.

Women doing important jobs is not relevant to them helping maintain our society?

Not where I'm from. And again, even if they were protected classes, they will still work as a doctor, teacher, caretaker, or nurse. That might be at 90% of a better candidate, but they're still working in those jobs. Right?

Remember, the women who get these jobs, on average, are less qualified than the male applicants due to the fact that women get preference. There is as far as I know no lower bar for women to become a doctor, caretakes, teacher or nurse. If anything, they will by now want more men. And let's say there were. Ok, they're doing 10% less than their male counterparts. Still means they're putting in 90%...

Women as caregivers and teachers is their biology talking to them. If they leave the job market, they will still be doing this. Don't know about things in the USA, but there's currently a teacher shortage in the Netherlands. We can't afford them to leave the job market and "do it at home". Kids need an education. As for police... I wouldn't trust a female police officer to handle anything dangerous. The only reason that women can even get these types of jobs is due to affirmative action and lowe…

I didn't know women were actively being pushed into being a doctor, caretaker, teacher, or nurse. That's new to me! As for police: yeah true, there's active hiring to correct a gender imbalance. But do you know the beauty of it? Even if it's due to "artificial reasons", they're still doing the work as a doctor as a teacher.

Most of our teachers are women. Half of our doctors are women and that number is growing rapidly. Basically all of our nurses are women. Basically everyone who works in a daycare is a woman. You don't think that's a large contribution to society?

What do women do Do you look around on a daily basis? Woman are the vast majority of our teachers, women are the caretakers of our children. Half of our doctors are women and that figure is growing rapidly. Let alone the percentage of nurses! As for your police: where I'm from 27% are women. I agree, men do provide a lot of the vital infrastructure. And I do think men are more risk-prone and that results in important contributions. Heck, based on hours worked men have a much bigger role! But to …

I think what might be a good mental exercise for you is to go back through our conversation and switch the genders. If the woman has the high paying career and the man stays at home to take care of the children (a joint decision) because that's what would work best for the family, and they divorce after 20 years, then is it still ok for him to have to work a minimum wage job and receive no alimony?

So...he worked his ass off for long hours to give his family the best. She received the benefit of that. Yes, he chose to focus on his career while she raised the children. They both benefited. My dad would never have switched places with her. They both chose is the same as saying she chose. Not at all. By saying "she chose" it sounds like she made the decision unilaterally. She didn't.

She willingly chose to not work. No. They both chose for her not to work. They were married. Partners for life. As a team, they chose that one member would look after the children and the house, and the other would focus on their career. It's not like my mom was a lazy bum, she loved working. However, they deemed this better than both having a mediocre career in their home country and both looking after the children now and then. That's a double negative for him and a double positive for her. No…

However I see females working road and construction weekly. You're seeing a lot of road and construction workers! 1.3% of constructions workers (assuming you're American) in the USA is female! And you're see multiple of them every week. So you're seeing hundreds of construction workers a week. That's insane!

You're seemingly using it as an insult to get us riled up or something. It's not a neutral observation. If it was, it would be useless. Heck, why even bring up sexuality? It really is rather homophobic. actively pushing women out of the group, openly hating females, pretending to be superior You got all that from a post celebrating men as builders and providers?

Yeah this post is a bit on the edge, absolutely. But do you really not see anything in this world where men are disadvantaged and issues need to be addressed or at least receive some attention? More women attending college than men for example and that percentage is growing? That doesn't get a "hm, that's odd, why is that?" from you? Interesting though that we're all closeted. We're actually very open to people of all sexual orientations here. Perhaps you could learn more from us than you think!

I don't need to look your mom in the eye buddy, I just fuck her doggy. Honestly though mate if you're keen on learning and perhaps expanding your view a bit then I'm happy to tell you why mensrights has a place in this world. Not everything about the sub is good, but the movement is all right. Just don't come in guns blazing calling everyone incels, then you're just going to get equally stupid remarks back.

I'm not arguing that alimony is never a fair solution. Just saying it's a system that is often abused and hardly ever implemented in a way that is fair. I can understand that, but that doesn't mean we should just get rid of alimony entirely. dunno why you say a decade off Because retirement age here is 67 and they're near 60. they have a pension that would be split, and according to you your mom would also get her own stipend Yes once they reach retirement. So if a court implemented a fixed year…
/r/MensRights05/09/19 04:47 PM

It's the internet, not everyone's an American. However, perhaps we should focus on pension a bit less than for this argument to work. As I said, they're nearing 60, retirement is still a few years away. If they divorce now, she has to bridge perhaps another 10 years. Should she do so while making minimum wage? Or, after two to three decades of taking care of the house my dad lived in and his children, should my dad perhaps support her a bit so she can have less of a shitty situation?

Everyone who has worked in the Netherlands has a pension. Whether you've worked or not, everyone gets a certain pension/stipend from the government once they hit retirement age. But what's your point? A lot of people don't have a pension so that's just fine for my mom as well? Even though they as a couple made choices to just have one person have a career? A choice my mom never would have made if she knew that there was a possibility of having a shitty pension at the age of 60? I just don't get …

Well, if he were to retire they would both live off his pension. If they split up, they could just ~ split up his pension as well. Their costs individually would be higher, but it should be enough for each of them to live off. Would they lose out? Yes. But it's part of the planned possible sacrifice you make when you decide together that only one person will work. Plus, living by yourself is always more expensive so it makes sense.

I personally don't find alimony robbery in the right situations. It gives a couple the freedom to make choices that benefits one person's career and perhaps both their children. My dad had a very promising career, including possibilities abroad. Overall they spent 10 years abroad. By choosing to pursue it, it meant my mom (Dutch law degree) couldn't develop her career. She would focus on the home and raising the children. My dad spent many weekends (and sometimes weeks) travelling and made long …

Lethal police encounters aren't as much a worry in every country. Plus, criminals might react differently to a woman. Less likely to be aggressive perhaps? No idea but it's just as founded in reality as your claim. And it's not all about violence. Vast majority of police tasks are non-violent and a more balanced police force might aid in those situations. A woman who has just been assaulted might appreciate a female cop. Just have them pass normal physical standards and women serving is just fin…

I feel like the problem we're seeing with "incels" and "men festering in bitterness" are more of a recent problem. Or perhaps I'm just ignorant of the situation in the past, but that's what it feels like. However, society being monogamous has been going on for the past millenium. Explaining the former by the latter doesn't makes sense to me given the different timescales. What has changed? Have we given these men a voice?

It's still not. It's giving people with a physical problem or limitation a better parking spot. In this case that limitation is pregnancy. People are given that spot because they're pregnant, not because they're women. I know it seems like it's sexism, but if you think about it a bit it's really not. If men could get pregnant we would have gotten that spot as well, but we cannot. Since we would have been treated equally if we were able to, there is no sexism in providing that parking spot to wom…

It's in order to have a child though, a very, very human thing to do and something that the majority of people will be involved with at some point. We could be dicks and say "omg you chose this" or how about we just give those women a parking spot close for this natural thing happening to them? Something that most men will benefit from as well as their partners. What exactly is the harm?
/r/MensRights19/08/19 02:30 PM

I think this is only true if you really stretch the definition of victim. A lot of question and answer jokes don't have a victim: "Why did the dog sit in the shade? Because he didn't want to be a hot dog!" Unless you believe the fact that someone who didn't know the answer is a "victim". Or how about stupid things like this: "The shovel was a ground-breaking invention." "I wouldn’t buy anything with velcro. It’s a total rip-off."
/r/MensRights19/08/19 11:16 AM

/r/MensRights13/08/19 02:37 PM

Of course it happens, but the default option if this were to happen to a man is not incarcerated. The (fictious) guy is an artist using nude models! "He ogled me while I was his model by choice" doesn't really sound as a reason to lock someone up. Unless all the models tack on false accusations, but in that case we're not discussing the situation as described in this thread. Sticking to the situation, no I don't think he would be incarcerated.
/r/MensRights13/08/19 11:01 AM

If you look closely at my initial comment, you'll see that my issue was with claiming that they would be incarcerated. I did not say they wouldn't be fucked over by other means. I never said that was all good. Nothing of the sort. Heck, in my last comment I even said they would be "crucified by the public". No idea what warranted your sarcastic as fuck remark. Are you just trying to read what you want to?

Absolutely. If their reasoning is flawed, why would we join them in flawed reasoning? It should be clear to anyone thinking logically that just because the women's world championships can be beaten by 15 year old males that that doesn't mean that they're not the best in the world compared to their peers. They're good (compared to their peers). The latter is always the context meant by anyone. No reasonable person believes that the women are good compared to any decent men's team. For some reason…

I thought my comment was rather clear in addressing the fact that I didn't disagree with you because you bashed feminists. I disagreed based on the arguments that you made.

Whereas women typically have abundant social outlets and an enormous amount of social safety nets to help them in any scenario. I think you might be exaggerating this a wee bit.

I think that’s a hasty conclusion. Perhaps she’s nice at first, but over the years she changes, she starts mentally breaking you down and maybe even gaslighting you. There’s kids, and eventually you just learn to go along with her antics. She’s threatened that if you divorce you’ll never see your kids again... Is it bad that a man doesn’t leave a relationship like that? Absolutely. But sometimes people just see no other option or accept their shitty relationship.

Ugh, can we perhaps not call it "survivors"? I feel like that should be a term for something that you actually survive because there's a big chance of dying. You survive a highway car accident, you survive a natural disaster, and you survive a stabbing. I know false accusations are grim and I bet chances of suicide are higher, but I just wouldn't call these people survivors. They're just victims. Just because others call those who were sexually assaulted "survivors" doesn't mean we have to adopt…

The problem here is that she says she hates being a woman because rape. It would be beter to say that she hates being a human because rape. That’s the point others are trying to make. In her phrasing she makes it seem a woman-only problem. Personally, going against the grain a bit, I’m fine with what she said. I think in day to day life as an adult, rape is a lot more of a concern for women. Just like being violently attacked is more of a concern for men.

Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. Communism: a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.

Who is they? Socialists? Because hell, I'm no expert on the matter and not pro-socialist (big fan of a mix though as in some Western countries), but I don't think that's what socialism is about.

So your logic is that you don't want a woman dictating what will happen in your life.

I think both parents should have a say when it comes to abortion You think the dad should be able to veto an abortion? Boy that sounds fucked up. Or force an abortion? Heck that's also fucked up. No, the dad should be able to legally waive his rights and privileges over a child before the abortion period is over. Based on that information the mother can decide whether she wants to carry the child or not.
/r/MensRights24/03/19 04:49 PM

The point is not that I care about wanting my child aborted. It's that if I make a mistake I don't want to be dependent on the mother's decision whether or not to keep it. And yes, I can take responsibility, but turns out that's just not how the fucking world works. People have sex and accidents happen. Denying that and stating "omg take responsibility" is just stupid. It's like promoting abstinence and realising that teenagers will still end up having sex. Who the fuck would have thought?

The point about attractiveness is that yes, our opinions differ, but there is a general standard. Half the world is attracted to Chris Hemsworth or Mila Kunis because a lot of people find them attractive. While yes, it is subjective on a personal scale, we can on a larger scale objectively say whether someone is considered conventionally attractive. Models exist for a reason mate. So, that being said: that guy is absolutely not a looker by any conventional level of attractive. If you're into him…

Problem is, you're only thinking in terms of money. The point is that (lack of) money is a very tangible effect of (not) having a career and it would be the biggest change. If my parents were to divorce right now and my dad could keep all of the money, my dad's life wouldn't really change that much. He would still have children who had a happy childhood and a stay at home mom. My mother would suddenly be earning minimum wage and would have to live in some crappy apartment somewhere.

Yes? Isn't that how marriages work? You become one entity and sacrifices are made somewhere. In the end you can't just have the breadwinner keep all the money. Now Bezos is an odd situation because it's just so much money, but for example my dad has been the breadwinner because my mom couldn't work while they were moving around countries and she was raising the children.

But why not? Why can't I define what is feminine? Am I not a well-thinking human being with a plethora of experience? Was my mother not feminine? Or my girlfriend? Or the women I see in movies? Am I myself in part not feminine? Can't I see what femininity is and define it and interpret it? Why not, just because I myself am not a woman? Is it partially from a different point of view?

I get the point, but I find that a rather weird way of thinking. Why can't we define the opposite? Do men suddenly have no notion of what femininity is and the other way around?

Georgina Herrmann OBE, an eminent archaeologist and the first woman to discover the Afghanistan’s Lapis Lazuli mines in the 1960s. I can't find this on her Wiki page. Not that I mean it's not true, but the phrasing odd. She's either one of the people/women to discover the miner, or the first. You can't be the first woman. That would mean there was a woman after her who discovered it as well. Generally speaking you can only discover something once.

I get your point mate, but basically you're being pessimistic as fuck. Nobody is obligated to love me or be my friend, but if that were the case then I'd be the exceptions.

What you are ignoring is that removing the foreskin deadens sensation on the head, so that removal is functionally the same thing. Reduces, not deadens.

I mean, just how much cock do you have to have had before you start to have an opinion on the subject? Not a lot? 3 cut partners and 3 uncut partners and you probably have an opinion. Or heck, make it 10 and 10. Doesn't seem astronomical to me. Edit: Imagine you're 18, single, and going to college. You go out every week, which is pretty normal I guess. Once every 26 times you go out, you bring home a girl. That's not a lot, right? To each their own as to whether they're comfortable with one nigh…

For all the weird comparisons that are sometimes made on this sub (had a discussion yesterday about foreskin removal being at least as bad as clitoris removal) this one is actually pretty good. Not that foreskin and labias are equivalents, but cosmetically some might feel the same way about them.

The foreskin has more nerves than the clitoris The foreskin and clitoris are very different parts of the body though. The foreskin is equivalent to the clitoral hood. From the wiki: "It is also described as the prepuce, a technically broader term that also includes the clitoral hood in women, to which the foreskin is embryonically homologous". Does it provide sexual pleasure, yeah definitely, let's not deny that: "Also, the WHO debates the precise functions of the foreskin, which may include "ke…

You literally said this: " The entire reason for removing the foreskin is to make it less pleasurable as well. " Since we were talking about sex I reckon it's rather correct of me to assume you were talking about sex as well. The foreskin and clitorus do serve the same purpose. Holy fuck mate. Read the wiki.

Seriously what's your point, they serve almost the exact same purpose in multiple areas; maybe the clit is a little more important for pleasure, but that still means it's comparable and still means they serve salmost the same function. My point is all of the above... You stated "The clitorus and foreskin share almost the exact same practical function". That is just blatantly false. And it had a 100 upvotes!

It serves, (like the foreskin and head of clitorus), as a cover for the tip of the genitalia, and a barrier against rashes and other things from the outside wirkd The clitoris covers the genitalia? You sure you're not talking about the lips? It serves as lubricating mechanism. The tip of the penis and the vagina both get lubricated by either the foreskin or head of the clit. By the clit?

I'm not really sure who you're arguing against mate. I think most people on Reddit (and I hope here as well) are perfectly ok with abortion as long as it's early in the pregnancy. The same logic applies in that regard.

As someone with a foreskin: it's great. But oh boy oh boy we really can't compare a foreskin to a clitoris. I'm just baffled that you're getting so many upvotes. Just look at their functions during sex. A lot of girls can only cum from some form of simulation to their clitoris. Is that the case for the foreskin? No. Can a foreskin add pleasure and help give pleasure? Definitely, but the head of the penis is much more comparable to a clitoris in that regard.

They're just very different concepts though. The horrible thing about bodily autonomy for women is that in case of pregnancy it just ceases to exist, kind of. Eventually, you're the carrier of a baby. My sister gave birth a few weeks early and the child is doing great. Would we accept it if she wanted an abortion at that point? Of course not. I understand your point, but not everything can be seen as black and white, or "bodily autonomy is holy". It's just not that easy when pregnancy comes into…

As far as I know male suicide is actually more common among the elderly. There was a graph on this subreddit about it recently. Assuming it at least stays the same: the reason it's not the most common death reason overall is simply because we en masse start dying of other stuff. It's rare for a 40 year old to die of cancer or heart disease. Not so much for a 70 year old.

I think you're going on a massive tangent here. I'm simply stating that we shouldn't value women less for having more partners. It's not me white knighting (lmao, white knighting on men's rights, that should get me laid), it's just that I think women should enjoy the freedoms that I do. And yeah, there is a major discrepancy between men and women when it comes to having sex with underage boys or girls. That is wrong.

Yeah, that makes sense. But if people have safe sex and get tested every once in a while, then why would we be 'ew, slut'. Have safe sex with them and there's really not too much to worry about. Chances of someone with more partners having a STD is probably larger, but I think blatantly saying that they have more STDs and are worth less are rather mean-spirited and very unnecessary.

Pretty much everyone enters into a marriage with this in mind. Unfortunately, women initiate 75-80% of all divorces, so it's quite often the men in those marriages finding out that their relationship is no longer life-long, as they supposed, but some shorter version. True, which is far from idea. Perhaps, after a number of years, you should have the option to switch to a different type of marriage? Also, if you are only married for a few years then generally alimony is not as much of a problem. …

There are some big benefits. Generally, taxes are a good reason. Also, family is allowed to visit in hospitals or make important decisions, while a "partner" will not be allowed to.

But I would try to bring it up before I would ask for a date. You're going to bring up who pays for a date before you actually ask a girl out?

If she's offended then good job you filtered an unpleasant person.

I think it's one of those games you can play if you want. I'm a man, I like being in the traditional role. Sometimes that means I'll insist on paying for the date because I like feeling like a provider and old-timey, and I like it if she feels like she's being treated to something because she's great. For me it's not really about politeness. However, I would expect her to at least offer.

Only people that seem to be complaining about circumcised dicks are uncircumcised men on Reddit. You're circumcised so I guess you've come to accept that. Good chance it's also accepted in your society. On the other hand though there's uncircumcised men who are glad they aren't circumcised and find it a cruel, unnecessary and medieval act.

I'm not making any petitions, but I don't see the harm for us if they do. They might as well make a petition to not sleep with anyone who doesn't listen to Bieber.

How exactly do they obtain biased laws through the use of sex? Are we talking about some complot theory where the wives of US judges use their power of withholding sex to influence them? And I don't really understand your first point. That's a TV trope, which might sometimes happen in real life, but withholding sex to get what you want tends to be a sign of a bad and unhealthy relationship.

I think it's because they're comparing it to the rest of the world.

To be fair, it doesn't even have to be SJWs. Even a perfectly normal person simply won't value men's day as much as women's day, and I can't blame them. They'll think women's day is much more important, or think that men's day is unimportant. The first is a false way of thinking (whether or not it is true) since one problem being bigger doesn't make the other irrelevant. The other stems from a lack of education on the topic.

Thanks for the data. It's interesting, but I always wonder how it applies to real life though. Almost every man I know is capable of finding a woman that finds him attractive. There's the exceptions (whether that be 10 or 20%) but most are capable of finding a girlfriend. In the data, are we just seeing the averages and in real life everyone finds the exception that they find attractive? Or are women settling?

The purpose is that when there's a "tie" between a male and a female applicant to always choose for the female applicant. If there are ties often, this will thus ensure that more women get a job or start studying in a certain field. Especially with large studies when there's hundreds of applications this could be quite significant. It's sexist, of course, but it's nowhere near as bad as actually choosing a woman with worse qualifications over a man with better qualifications.

You're allowed to sit there with your girlfriend or with your female friends. If I'm not mistaken, the whole Japanese groping problem has to do with strangers groping strangers. A man from one group could grope a woman from another group, but I think the chances of this are smaller if your female friends/gf are there.

Police in the States are trained that when they do fire their weapon, they fire to kill. This is because hitting someone with a bullet is so lethal, that cops should only use it when they actually need to kill the victim to ensure that he is no longer a threat. Otherwise, cops might be more inclined to go for 'leg shots', even though this is still incredibly dangerous. Gun shots are not like in the movies, where you tie some fabric around the wound and everything is just fine and dandy. This is …

It's not that the man can't protect himself. He just suffers the blows and accepts it. He might think he deserves it, he might think it's normal or that it's just part of the relationship, he might think that if he hit back she would have him arrested, he might be doing it for the children. You see the same thing with women. They defend their husband's actions or try to be silent about it.

I think it would be defined as voluntary manslaughter.

It is sometimes amazing how women treat each other. As a student I became a member of a 'studentenvereniging' (student association) here in the Netherlands. It shares some similar characteristics with a fraternity.

Black man chances of going to prison / White man chances of going to prison = 5.667 White man chances of going to prison / White woman chances of going to prison = 6.53. The gender gap in prison rates seems to be bigger than than racial gap in prison rates (as long as you compare black men, white men, and white women at least). Although, since there's actual differences between men and women and not between black men and white men, racism is probably still more of an issue.

Not exactly true. In Dutch bars for example Moroccans for example are (on average) more likely to cause trouble and buy less.

There is (or at least should be) be no difference in the way members of different races are viewed. Yet there certainly is a difference between how the sexes are viewed. This is unchangeable. No amount of social change is going to make me want to fuck a man. So if the drinks for women are lower and there are more of them around in a bar, thus increasing the chances of me getting laid, then I won't complain. Of course, this is an example that benefits both sexes. More females = good for men. Chea…

Yeah, this is nothing to get all riled up about. Heck, I'm glad bars do this if it attracts more women.

Given your past experience I understand your hesitation, but if you weren't subscribed to /r/MensRights you would probably be a lot less cautious. Some women can be crazy, but most aren't. On this subreddit you will find the most dramatic cases. Make sure you sign a prenup if you deem it nescessary, otherwise marry or date anyone you would want to. Hopefully you will pick up on the hints of crazy ahead of time.

It's targeting male insecurities. This would not happen the other way around by talking about a woman's breasts. Therefore it's kind of men's rights. Of course, this is not really that big of a deal.

Exceptions no longer matter the moment you actually force people into the army. If the normal army can no longer take care of it then this means you need A LOT of people, not just the top 5%. I am arguing that most people selected will be men, not only because they are physically stronger but also because they are mentally stronger. On average, of course.

I base this on personal experience in civilian life. I broke my arm a few weeks ago with a lot of people around. The lower part of my arm was in a ~45 degree angle with the rest of it. Two guys immediately pulled me off of the floor and got me somewhere less crowded. All other guys just reacted surprised. Most of the girls reacted by shrieking and averting their eyes. A stupid example maybe, but for me it characterizes the difference between men and women. Although it probably comes from the way…

I can't imagine though that in case of a world war they would immediately recruit every single person, even if it be due to the fact that we will not have enough weapons or vechiles for them. Surely they would have some form of selection process.

Not exactly a bad thing. What I want is for women and men to be equal before the law. But once drafting occurs the best still have to be selected. Physically 90% of these will be men, but if they are the best this country has to offer then so be it. Personally, I believe that men are also mentally better at handling war or combat, so I am glad that the women I know will not have to go through this.

The downside is that there will still be a living and breathing child of yours somewhere on the world. Abortion I could live with. But deciding just to see myself as a sperm donor while she still goes ahead and puts my child on this world? That's more difficult and a choice that would be taken for me.

The fact that women are not combatants is, in my opinion, with good reason though. Women are physically a lot weaker than men. That's something everyone can agree on. A strong woman will be just as strong as an average man, and in the military you need people a lot stronger than the average man. I also think that most women will not be able to handle it psychologically. Men are drawn to violence. Whether this be during playtime when they're 6 years old, th games that they play when they're 16, o…

The fact that woman rating men is seen as socially acceptable is not due to feminism. Feminism is a movement that tries to better the opportunities for women and increase their social status. What we have here is just sexism. Society's belief that women are allowed to do certain things and men are not.

How were you not expecting these responses? You're doing something that a male is not expected to do. You might as well wear a skirt. Or as a woman, you might as well buzz your hair short. You should do whatever makes them happy. But don't be surprised when you do something so unconventional.

You're not understanding her correctly. Men like it. In the same way that women love caring for children, doing all the housework, and cooking for their husbands.
/r/MensRights12/11/12 09:15 AM

Maybe an unpopular response, but: Because of biology. Men are seen as leaders by both sexes. If an emergency were to happen in, for example, a classroom, both men and woman will naturally look to a man for guidance because we see men as more determined, stronger, and better decision-makers under stress.. This is of course not always the case, but it's what we naturally do.

Compare it to racism: "Blacks are better at basketball than whites". It's a stereotype. Wouldn't surprise me if it is a correct stereotype. Is it really racism? Meh, maybe not, but we don't want to segregate people this way. Same goes for male and female: "Women love flowers more than men" It's a stereotype. One that is certainly correct. However, what we want is men and women to be treated equally. And if, everytime in the media, we as men see that women are allowed to use tissues for crying, r…

It's a tricky subject. Why do we give flowers to women? Because flowers are beautiful. And only women want beautiful things, men want wood and bearfighting (or something like that). It's not really important, but in a way it is sexist. Same way that women argue that action figures or LEGO is marketed for boys, while flowers or tissues are targeted for women. Both are a bit sexist. But I wouldn't really get into a fuss about it.

"My elected representatives are mostly people of my own sex. The more prestigious and powerful the elected position, the more this is true." Well, if all women voted for a female candidate, then we would have female senators. The reason they're not doing so is because they also prefer men, since we see men as more capable leaders (biology and shit).

Condom breaking is not the same thing about lying about being on contraception as a female. Condom breaking = contraception pills not working for some reason. Lying about having a vasectomy = lying about contraception pills. The problem of the condom breaking is also the 'fault' of both the sexes, while a female could have been incorrectly taking contraception.

Of course not. I said the point was valid (men should be able to sit next to children), but there is a larger difference between men and women than between black men and white men.

Although the point is totally valid, there is a difference between men and women, not between black men and white men. They are thus not comparable.

I don't think that there are any female soldiers in Afghanistan. It's ridiculous of course to classify these military-age males as militants, but it would be even more ridiculous to do the same for women since they will certainly not be fighting. It's not sexist, it's just common sense.

I was simply assuming that the mom gets custody in my example since this is normally the case. No reason to deny that. And it is certainly not necessary to give the children to the breadwinners. If you have a stay-at-home mother and a working father, then it would be best for the children if they stayed with their mother (smallest change). The father would not be as suited since he would maybe want a career, or maybe he just isn't used to caring so much for his children. Not saying that he would…

True, but this would still be the case even if the alimony is not based on the paying party's income. People here are now arguing about the fact that it's unjust and that all money should go to the child, but the title of this post clearly refers to whether or not the money should be relative to the payer's income, not how it should be paid.
/r/MensRights28/05/12 11:48 PM

Because, as far as I know, the child should be able to enjoy the same standard of living as he/she did before the divorce. If the parents split up and the mom gets custody, then the father should still provide for the child as if he were still around (the money he spends on the child increases as his salary goes up). Not flawed reasoning in my opinion, as long as the money is put to good use and both sexes abide by these laws.

Not sure about this one. Marriage is no longer this 'sacred' vow to one another. It is most of all a legal status. What if your wife is horrible (but you're trying to love her), you get seduced by this incredibly attractive girl, one moment of weakness (hard to ignore due to testosterone and the fact that you don't get any at home) and all material possessions that you have worked for are suddenly gone. Hardly seems fair... On the other hand, a guy like that is a bastard for cheating on his wife…

I think it's implied that its "equality for women" compared to men. And yeah, feminism means nothing now and usually I actually think less of a woman who calls herself a feminist. Often, they -as you said- think that they should be treated better or they're just manhaters.

I agree completely, but that's why I made the distinction between the 'classical' Wikipedia definition of feminism and the type of feminism that you find IRL or on /feminism. If feminism is just a movement that tries to get equal rights for women -which is the same we're trying to do on here for men- then isn't it a great cause? There should be no distinction between genders in the law or politics.
/r/MensRights02/05/12 01:45 PM
-2

Of course it's corrupted, you just have to follow the news or head to /feminism to know that. However, the definition above is one I got off Wikipedia. This is what, ideally, feminism should be about. It shouldn't be about female power and hair and blablabla, but simply about the movement that tries to create equal opportunities for men and women by giving them equal rights. There is nothing wrong with that, is there?
/r/MensRights02/05/12 01:31 PM

Well, every person here should be a feminist.... If we are fighting for the fact that men should be equal to women, then women should also be equal to men. "Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women." Over at /feminism bitches be crazy, but in the traditional sense feminism is someone that everybody should support if they're not sexist.

This is not a 'stand-alone' list. It is meant as response to the lists made by women that we have seen before in which men are meant to treat girls like princesses, admit their wrong even if they're not, pay for dates, etc. His approach is thus directed at girls who believe those lists, it does not address women in general and is therefore not sexist. All women should however, if they want a loving relationship in which they are both equal, abide by the points he makes (unless some things just w…
