| 3 | The State of Feminist Philosophy: "Men Are Hurting Themselves While Hurting Women"Plus, the Patriarchy hypothesis is an unfalsifiable belief. It is deliberately constructed to be a secular form of religious dogma. That makes it impossible to disprove, which would be required before engaging in any productive and rational discussion about male advocacy with these groups. | /r/MensRights | 17/07/26 05:19 PM |

| 3 | A life dedicated to understanding sex differences in cognition: Interview with Prof David GearyIt's good that the Professor points out how "Just so" stories apply more to Social Psychology than to Evolutionary Psychology. The replication crisis there is simply bonkers. Also, the finding that men's advantages in visual spatial abilities are larger in countries that are healthier and wealthier is quite profound. The idea that this is a core component of the "gender equality paradox" in those societies is something I hadn't considered.

Experts? LOL. That particular idiot was a revolutionary communist who targeted male CEO's and board members of multinational companies, male health care execs, famous male politicians, and almost exclusively powerful male figures in his simple-minded manifesto.

From the information we have, they spent hours with their son, supported him, and tried to make sure he was okay. They didn't "put him to work", but instead hoped after hours of talking and emotional exhaustion, that doing something – and feeling useful for something, which is very important for men's mental health – would "take his mind off" what had happened.

| 26 | Boy, 15, killed himself hours after school suspended him over flimsy sexual assault allegation with no due processYet another example of proxy violence. Misandry doesn't kill men directly. Instead these misandrists use institutions like schools, law enforcement, etc, to degrade, harass, ruin, and ultimately destroy men to the point that they wish they were dead. | /r/MensRights | 13/07/26 11:38 PM |
| 2 | Good News: A New Study Finds Most Men Are Not ToxicWords are weapons. Language itself is the battlefield upon which the "battle of the sexes" is being fought nowadays. So studies like this one are ultimately meaningless; the end result of weaponized language is that the two sides are no longer listening to each other any more. Accusations of "toxic masculinity" will continue to be applied to everything a man does or can do, and those same constant allegations will just get ignored. Rinse and repeat. | /r/MensRights | 04/07/26 05:24 PM |
| 12 | CIS Male is a slurThe whole point of "cis" is political activism, not genuine communication. The term only exists as a pejorative meant to tear down the idea that "normal" exists regarding human sexual dimorphism. And that is why so many activists react hyper-emotionally in an over-the-top manner to any criticism like yours. This should just be a boring linguistic discussion. But it's not. Because ultimately it's just activist-fuelled nonsense. | /r/MensRights | 30/06/26 07:44 PM |
| 14 | I really hate how the term ‘incel’ has been hijacked by feminists and extremistsIf "incel" just meant "misogynist", they would have called you a "misogynist" and left it at that. Mixing the ideological definition (hates wahman) with the literal definition (can't get laid) is a deliberate bait-and-switch tactic to try and manipulate you. In response, you forced them to admit to a single definition. That showed them to be deliberately dishonest or at least terrible communicators. And then you disproved that individual accusation with simple logic. A perfect strategy to deal w… | /r/MensRights | 25/06/26 02:19 PM |
| 3 | Why Women Initiate 70% of Divorces - 30 Years of ResearchThe studies you've "seen" – or rather, that you've probably read about second-hand – have significant flaws in their demographics. Most mainstream articles that claim "married men live longer and are happier" rely on raw cross-sectional data that suffers from two severe statistical errors: selection bias and the omission of the divorce confounder. I've included a sample of much more rigourous papers that actually try to take multiple factors into account. The Guner paper specifically finds that … | /r/MensRights | 25/06/26 02:11 PM |

I've heard it probably a dozen times. And if I try to refute the label, I would have to treat my relationships like trophies and conquests to be displayed publicly. That's obviously chauvinistic behaviour.

And even being in a relationship no longer offers any benefit for men. From life expectancy to finances to happiness/mental health, there is no difference between men who are single their entire lives versus a married man, once a proper baseline is established regarding unobserved "innate permanent health" and the "marriage selection effect".

As a result, any skepticism towards the existence of that supposed "scientific hypothesis" resulted in the student or staff member being judged to have created a hostile or unsafe environment for "marginalized groups".

But in Australia, feminist captured anti-suicide services prefer dead men to men with human rights.Research into suicide, and the services offered for mental health, function to make more men die. It's that simple. And it's so frustrating to witness. Especially because the general solution is very straightforward. What are the most important risk factors around suicide for men? Well, it's lack of employment, legal problems (divorce), and financial issues. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

She has to pay the expense of a lawyer, live with the ongoing stress of a long legal dispute, has to prep and defend herself in court, etc. However, he has to suffer through the same process and expense, albeit with less risk since his exposure is fixed.

| 4 | UK: Farmer, 20, spent THREE years on bail falsely accused of rape over drunk sex video - before case was dropped when judge saw clip and said woman 'clearly consented'Yeah, a "perjury charge" is indeed a slap on the wrist compared to three years of hell. Considering all the mental stress, poor health, expense, loss of reputation, lost opportunity for income, and more for the falsely accused, there is no way a simple conviction of perjury can make up for that. There is a caveat here though: because lying under oath directly threatens the integrity of the courts, it is universally treated as a serious felony. So the maximum sentence for perjury is quite signifi… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/26 03:01 PM |

I can see an argument that perjury charges would protect the police to some extent from a lawsuit by this man, given their incompetence – deliberate or otherwise – in this case. On the other hand, maybe by not bringing charges it's easier for them to take what is an egregiously malicious prosecution and sweep it under the rug?

Include all the non-police allegations – the SA accusations done on social media, to the corporate media, to friends and family, to coworkers, via the whisper network, etc – and it is guaranteed that greater than 50% are false.

Statistics and probability only exist for groups. And even if there is a significant trend for a group of people – say in their behaviour, either positive or negative – individual members of that group are still individuals.

Why is that?I think the best objective measure for anti-male rhetoric and hatred would be a simple glance at academia in Western countries: tens of thousand of courses like gender studies, sociology, anthropology, media & cultural studies, criminology & legal studies, etc, exist that discuss concepts like the evil Patriarchy, masculinity being toxic, mansplaining, the male gaze, fragile masculinity, male privilege, manspreading, manterrupion, hegemonic masculinity, etc on the other hand, zero (0) university… | /r/MensRights | 22/05/26 01:55 AM |

Canada's "Human Rights Tribunals" have reached this level of conviction rate. An interesting comparison is that not even the legal systems in completely corrupt Banana Republics are able to achieve a 100% guilty rate.

Young men were often pulled from school to support their families – especially in rural areas during harvest – which means that men as a group have never been ahead in high school diploma rates.

A commitment to a 1-2% drop in male suicides over a 5-year period (or something like that) would be a meaningful and achievable goal I believe. The reason I would focus on suicide is simple.

I've often seen some form of: "Well, it must be self-defense" attributed to those who kill men, and this is often even stated explicitly in papers and studies around the subject.

It turns out this happens largely because men have more muscle mass. An infection (bacterial or viral) facilitates fluid loss in our bodies, as the immune system uses water to fight its microscopic battle. That's why we're told to drink plenty of fluids when we are sick. So as the muscles become dehydrated throughout our body, they can become quite sore and stiff.

And even if it does avoid a ban, I contend that the bot saves you time by exposing which communities are not worth participating in.

There are two possible mindsets to have when approaching extreme prejudice against an entire group: you can condemn it because it hurts the group being attacked (the emotional path) or you can oppose it because it exposes the ignorance and pathetic lives of those who believe it (the rational path). It's possible to combine both to a degree, but I find the latter path is the more fair one, and it's also the more instinctive one for men. So I naturally… | /r/MensRights | 16/08/23 11:26 AM |

I'm not sure where I heard the "future focused" description anymore (it may have been something Tom Golden spoke about?), but it is essentially the same important observations about men's healing… | /r/MensRights | 01/08/23 01:43 PM |

Indeed, their choices in occupation will tend toward more female-occupied work. And this is likely due to the one biological factor that is well established by research into gay men: their brains are not "male" like that of the average straight guy, and they tend strongly toward the average brain structure of the opposite sex. It is the same for lesbians, where they tend to have "male" brains (again on average). It's amazing how sociology, psychology, and other suc… | /r/MensRights | 01/08/23 12:53 PM |
