29	Anyone noticed there are no longer any boy centered movies/tv shows? Asian media still has stories that focus on boys / men, that is likely partly why western comic books are down in sales while manga and anime have increased their market share. And I would say that unlike Harry Potter, where the boy may be the hero, but the female friend gets to constantly shine at his and Ron’s cost, many Japanese stories actually do have competent and good male heroes. It is rather a breath of fresh air in comparison when the male lead of a story can be both capable and the mo…	/r/MensRights	28/07/26 05:42 AM
7	In a weird, but simple way... It was and still is out fault My experience has always been that there are too many men who show very strong pro female and anti male bias. And will act on that. Some of those are kinda tragic, from the boys who always got ostracized by male peers, to those indoctrinated into shame and self loathing. Some of them are really just assholes who see other men as competition first and women as objects of desire, both because they are inherently egotistical. These seem to all be much rarer among women overall. Maybe it would help …	/r/MensRights	03/05/26 12:11 PM
1	How Capitalism ruined the Male role in society. Historically, the only system that allowed that american dream and payout for hard work are free markets… It should also be kept in mind that you are comparing to a time with less government debt and less government programs causing said debt both weighing down on people.	/r/MensRights	30/04/26 08:03 AM
1	Let's be honest, the left isn't going to solve Men's issues Given that there tends to be little appetite by most people to actively address male specific issues on a state level, I think that the consistently best policy for Men’s Right is focused on liberty and low state involvement. …that at least leaves people free to organize and fund efforts to help deal with specific issues vs forcing you to pay for a program that may exclude men or underserve them. Especially since a fair number of men’s issues are all about excessive government meddling in the fi…	/r/MensRights	28/04/26 07:10 AM
1	I've heard some people say that women don't do bad things unless there's an adequate justification. I assume the likely excuse would be that lesbian women supposedly do it as some response to “trauma” inflicted ultimately by men. It is similar to debates about crime by immigrants, where trauma and mental illness are often talked about as reasons. We often have this weird duality in social discourse where people are either fully responsible actors (usually the typical old white men) or more child like and not fully responsible for their actions. One group gets empathy, one gets condemnation. It…	/r/MensRights	25/04/26 08:45 AM
2	They no longer want equality. There are only a handful nations aside from Israel, which is the one most people would know, which actually enlist both men and women for military service…; From a purely cynical perspective, too few people actually want fairness, if they can potentially get away with preferential treatment.	/r/MensRights	12/04/26 08:37 AM
2	"False accusations hurt real victims" I do not mind it if it is an “on top of this, false accusations hurt real victims”. What mostly galls me is the result of people trying to downplay or memory hole false accusations based on that reasoning. Because they think making them widely known would hurt victims. Especially because that is the dumbest thing you can do. False accusations do take time from police and courts that would be needed for other victims, not just those of sexual assaults. And of course people will be more doubtful i…	/r/MensRights	06/04/26 09:15 AM
2	"not all men, but always a man" And the whole thing is rather insidious because the same people who will make this argument regarding men usually will react completely differently when it is a racial group or a religious group. I think with religious groups it gets especially insidious because these people will be more prone to argue against collectively talking about the issue of a religious group, which by its definition is comprised of people at least paying lip service to the same fundamental creed, than about a sex, half …	/r/MensRights	03/04/26 10:47 AM
34	"not all men, but always a man" But it is the whole point that it is NOT always a man. Even the vast majority is not all. And turning most into all or few into none is exactly the problem of prejudice. And people who do not engage in a harmful behavior and do not aid or abet it aren’t part of the problem.	/r/MensRights	03/04/26 01:20 AM
2	The "Patriarchy" Causes Misandry? It more or less breaks down to the claim that “negative behavior of a group creates negative sentiment towards that group”. That is in itself not a wrong claim. It just of course runs both ways. So misogyny would equally be created by systemic negative behavior by women. And ignores that of course, negative sentiment can arise from other sources as well. This is a very typical form of dishonest reasoning, mixing some valid argument in, but using a selection bias and ignoring other points.	/r/MensRights	13/03/26 03:35 AM
8	They're rewriting history To be fair, you could make the not unreasonable counter case that, say, female warriors would be put in less risky positions, thus being less of the casualties than their share of total combatants... ...but you would need to have some data to support that hypothesis over what you suggest, which in a chaotic combat situation seems more likely. What people COULD have said of course is "anthropological examination reveals likely female combatants at this battle among the fallen, matching other hist…	/r/MensRights	03/03/26 03:49 PM
68	They're rewriting history It fails since history does actually acknowledge female warriors in Japan. But then it gets to up to 50%? From, if I understand it right, the remains of one battle? If 30% is your best number from a singular case, how do you get 30 to 50%? Is it so insufficient for people to have “members of group x are / were able to do thing A”? Does it always have to be “members of group X do / did thing A just as much as group Y”?	/r/MensRights	03/03/26 12:53 PM
11	What is your opinion on reports that Disney is attempting to win back men and boys? Disney had their share of things that were successful with boys in stuff like the disney afternoon. If you want to cater to the boy audience, then the classical way to do it is stories about boys having adventures together. That is what many cartoonnseries did and that was the formula for books for boys. And that is how many popular anime series work. The ducktales reboot kinda shows why they likely will not. The original ducktales added Webby as the girl character. …many people did not really l…	/r/MensRights	25/02/26 02:54 AM
6	UN Document calls for scary societal changes Same spiel as with any other movement about “equality” alas… They may start with demanding a fair system and that is fine. …but fair systems do not mean everyone ends up the same. Because that is not actually fair. And thus it always ends with wanting to be unfair in the opposite direction. You can have a fair system. You can have a system where even people who do badly still get a relatively nice save floor. But a system with equal outcomes never works.	/r/MensRights	17/02/26 08:52 PM
2	Elon Musk using emasculation tactics towards men who don't fit his political agenda I think Musk pretty much always had the tendency to behave a bit like a teenager who has not fully grown up. I personally do not care as much. This instance seems rather like how people would say “they are not human” about people who commit atrocious acts (instead of not real men = cowardly), and while, yes, you usually do not get the same disparagement about women not being proper women, I think there is this: That “being afraid to be called racist” is quite like the “being afraid to be called …	/r/MensRights	14/02/26 09:39 AM
3	MRAs who lean right, what appeals to you in right ideology? Ppl say rMensRights is right wing, but as a left-leaning centrist, sub gives me more left vibe to me as it completely coincides with my views, but there's also some right wing opinions here I agree on. Can you expand on what right is about? My perception is that most men’s issues on the political front boil down to just leaving men alone. And not deliberately withholding universal programs from them. On the right, there can be the issue of trying to enforce traditional standards on men. …but that seems to have lost its teeth. Or I should say, it has in the areas where you do not get even more bad things from the left. And that same leftwing seems to be very fond of the idea of men as an oppressor class to blame for things which thu…	/r/MensRights	08/02/26 01:02 PM
2	The gynocentric right wing. To be fair, in Germany, one of the recent right wing talking points was to highlight that female immigrants were more criminal than German men as a counter to the leftwing point that „it is not an immigrant problem, it is a men problem!“. And while brutal group sexual assaults will make the news, so will cases like a young boy being brutally assaulted by immigrants over some supposed „offense“ to an immigrant girl. People will be people. There alas is not any one side in politics that is free fr…	/r/MensRights	26/08/25 06:39 AM
2	I hate these dumb little anecdotes Given how much easier it is to cut off your foreskin later than to restore it and how the latter is still a popular thing for purely personal reasons, vs the leading case in adult circumcision being conditions like phimosis, this seems at best a good case for why data is not the plural of anecdote and at worst some dishonest manipulation.	/r/MensRights	25/08/25 06:40 AM
3	The feminist conundrum As a gay guy, I am just running the hypothetical about how any of those things would be viewed in a male-male context… That seems to help clarify the issue of so many feminist talking points.	/r/MensRights	18/07/25 12:43 AM
3	Married mum teacher, 43, who had sex with student, 17, accuses her husband of ‘neglect’ as she faces 10 years in prison I am pleasantly surprised that the tone of the article from a tabloid seems to not engage in the usual double standard.	/r/MensRights	10/04/25 05:32 PM
3	Yes, Women are Visual too, and get Horny the Same as Men, They just Don't Admit it There are quite a lot of women producing visual erotic art. Women's "romance novels" are full of the naked upper bodies of men. Maybe women on average are a bit more drawn towards written erotica vs just visual images, just judging on markets and sure, you can for example easily make a list of statistical trends in, say, the difference between male / male erotic material created by women and gay men respectively, but there is not any kind of huge binary gap.	/r/MensRights	03/02/25 08:32 AM
4	The Lesbian Girlfriend test. Would you have the same expectations for boyfriend as you would for your lesbian girlfriend? Same here, as the “less manly” partner in a gay relationship, my baseline is that a) I would find it unthinkable to pull the kind of stuff that regularly seems to be seen as acceptable coming from women and b) doubt that my boyfriend or any other guy would put up with it. I also know that getting a partner to do some of the typical male things for you in a relationship is always feeling like a very sweet, very special treat that should be the kind of things to make you feel warm inside for the r…	/r/MensRights	22/12/24 04:29 PM
1	How many other gay men are here? I think as a gay man you are spared a lot of the big Me ‘s rights issues, but you also come from a standard of how relationships usually work where a lot of the kind of bad female relationship behavior just seems especially egregious. On the other hand, lots of the general male specific issues like, say, draft laws and the general societal attitudes still affect you. Add to that that as a gay guy, you potentially have the greatest appreciation for men as such as both your ingroup and the group y…	/r/MensRights	06/12/24 07:19 PM
14	Boys will be boys is overrated; Girls will be girls first better I think the only case where I actually do hear someone use boys will be boys as opposed to bring it up as some sort of argument is “oh, yes, boys will do that kind of thing” and it is usually about something silly, about doing something that gets them dirty or stuff like that. I.E. understanding that children, in this case boys, will do age typical stuff adults would not do. Thus I am extremely suspicious of that ever being an excuse for bad behavior. Especially not the way it will often be brou…	/r/MensRights	26/09/24 04:17 PM
88	Sex is a need for men and that's okay One of the very liberating things about being a gay man is getting out of that (even if some feminists still try to shame and demonize even gay male sexuality). On top of that: Don‘t let yourself be led to believe either by certain types of women or by certain types of fellow straight men that men are not attractive and sexually desirable. Pretty much all gay men and many women absolutely love the male body and male sexuality because both are really great and deserve being treated as such.	/r/MensRights	26/07/24 12:10 PM
3	Is chivalry oppressive to men? I think the proper way to act is just extending everyone the same courtesies, with only old, disabled, sick or injured people and pregnant women or parents with small children getting extra attention based on need. I think it is great to be considerate towards people especially those who need it, but why restrict it to women? Giving preferential treatment to just one group is kinda discriminatory against everyone else.	/r/MensRights	09/07/24 12:50 PM
20	I've spent more than $360,000 to become a single dad-of-three after enduring years of rejection Reminds me of another story from years ago. In both cases, they seem like really nice guys I am happy to see being fathers! I do wish him the best, I hope he will not face too many more hurdles.	/r/MensRights	18/06/24 12:49 PM
6	Why is Menslib about femininity? Well, turning any active negative discrimination of men into “it is really because women are discriminated by being seen as less capable” is a rather classical and rather twisted argument… Given that I do not see women volunteering to the same rate that men are being conscripted, I find it a bit hard to give credit to, but, eh, I am not saying anything new to anyone here.;	/r/MensRights	13/06/24 12:30 AM
6	Why is Menslib about femininity? …here in Germany, even those who went so far to escape masculinity to claim being a woman for themselves are finding out that men’s rights issue like forced military service will still come for them. I think in the end it is just about saying “no buts!” To all those who think that the principle of fundamental human equality needs some exceptions carved into it. Very feminine men still need that as much as super masculine ones. And neither gains anything by throwing entire groups of other men und…	/r/MensRights	12/06/24 09:33 PM
6	Man vs. Bear is a divisive talking point and it just hit me in a vulnerable place. The sad thing is that some people actually do not understand that. Despite it being obvious. Because someone gets up on a pedestal and says that statistics show, without bothering to tell them that that does not mean what people think it does… Lots of the insanity of modern political movements is because the people propagating it do not understand math…	/r/MensRights	12/06/24 05:02 PM
14	Man vs. Bear is a divisive talking point and it just hit me in a vulnerable place. First, the whole man / bear thing is at best showcasing how dumb people are about statistics. Many have said it, but everyone should know that like so many other things, it is a dumb statement. It is like saying because more people die from accidents at home, you are safer climbing a mountain without safety gear than lying on your couch. But it is not just the usual idiocy about people showing that they do not understand statistics (and frequently not basic mathematics either). This is deliberat…	/r/MensRights	12/06/24 12:10 PM
2	If Men Really Are the Problem in Relationships Then Why is the Lesbian Divorce Rate So High? There definitely is that, I just am not sure if that is mostly, well, my type of gay men, or generally gay men. I mean, my fiancé I would say is in many ways more „straight like“, while I know some straight men who are also like that. I tend to believe it is likely more a matter of statistics with more „temperamentally androgynous“ gay men than straight men. …but I am open to data for either hypothesis there. Personally, I still feel overall more kinship with straight guys. Since usually not eve…	/r/MensRights	29/05/24 02:41 PM
15	If Men Really Are the Problem in Relationships Then Why is the Lesbian Divorce Rate So High? Hmmh, i think it is double the divorce rate compared to gay men, not straight couples. This was UK data, correct? I think the UK divorce rate generally is 42%, so that would still make lesbian divorce a bit less common, if it is that 30% figure? Or am I missing some thing. I still find it telling: Gay men get divorced less and according to other studies have less domestic violence. Not that I would say that as a gay man, everything is perfect, but I feel like heterosexual men definitely have to …	/r/MensRights	29/05/24 11:21 AM
5	Do men need women? As a gay guy, I agree. You need both sexes for procreation. Anything else, sorry, but we have data in abundance that all male groups in humans and the animal kingdom are perfectly self sufficient. Of course you can argue that all female groups of course can also be self sufficient. Again with plenty data. But just in terms of raw data, I think it is easier to point to things where men due to just physical differences will excel to a degree I really am not sure you can easily make the other way a…	/r/MensRights	26/04/24 10:44 AM
3	Germany's "Fridays for Future" movement is run by open female supremacists. Well, the Fridays for Future movement already is a collection of high grade idiocy. …I think I would not really feel too doubtful if prominent figures in that movement were reported to hold even more extreme and unhinged views. There always had been a lot of overlap with environmentalism and feminism, especially in the most radical segments of both. I mean, both effectively lash out with irrational hatred towards the societies and their systems that is propping them up.	/r/MensRights	15/04/24 11:56 AM
1	Your biggest criticisms of the word " Toxic Masculinity?" It is very clear that it is a disparaging shaming tactic based on the fact that no other kind of socially encouraged or reinforced standard of behavior in other groups is talked about in the same way, even if it includes similar elements as what they refer to as „toxic masculinity“. There is no „toxic islam“, „toxic blackness“ or whatever else you could name. The word toxic masculinity exists because the people using it are accepting a kind of disparaging of men they would not with any other gro…	/r/MensRights	19/12/23 03:25 PM
7	Japanese “I hate my husband” website It seems Japan has no „no fault divorce“, meaning that either both parties need to agree or a court finds that there are grounds, from unfaithfulness, failing to provide, locking your partner out of the house, etc. From what I read, this does cover a lot of legitimate ground, including „other reasons why it would be difficult to continue the marriage“. This apparently leads, not that surprisingly, to a lower divorce rate. It is of course hard to judge all cases, but I am pretty sure that the sit…	/r/MensRights	11/12/23 11:50 AM
2	When talking about men being victims of violent crime at higher rates, what’s a good response to those who reply that it’s men killing men Well, people who commit violent crime, especially against strangers are usually a very specific small subset of the population. Meanwhile, pretty much any man can, depending on circumstances, become a victim of a violent crime. Meaning, the higher rate of being victimized really affects every man. The higher rate of being a perpetrator is completely unrelated to the vast majority of men. You can check for various nations what percentage of people have a criminal record, keeping in mind that many…	/r/MensRights	24/11/23 01:56 PM
-1	Why for society it is always fault of porn and videogames for the rising of male sexlessness and not fault of females irrealistic standards? Well, easy way to check what it actually is about: If it is porn and video games, gay males should be as sexless as straight men. If that is NOT generally the case, then it has to be something specific to straight males. Just anecdotally speaking, I do not really see gay male sexlessness being a thing myself in general…	/r/MensRights	06/11/23 08:13 PM
1	Unpopular opinion: I really liked the Barbie movie. I just watched the different reviews, from the "it is a terrible feminist propaganda piece" to "it actually makes a very anti feminists case". It seems to me like the first appears to be the intention and the second is the necessary outcome of a twisted ideology that just does not make sense. That is not a first. The best anti feminist argument usually is just to put the spotlight on feminism and make sure people pay attention. That is generally the thing with bad ideas.	/r/MensRights	18/08/23 09:03 AM
22	I was accused of mansplaining as I was... ...use the term mansplaining as a red flag, whoever uses it is at best indoctrinated and ignorant and at worst a toxic misandrist to avoid having in your life if possible.	/r/MensRights	07/08/23 05:25 PM
8	Why is is that when men want to find love, they’re “entitled”? Since even on the "non feminist" side, you will get people still by and large talking about the crisis of men as something by and large where men need to shape up and it is on them, paired with mostly anecdotal evidence about stuff like "too much video games, too low social skills, does not apply himself enough", etc. I am a bit skeptical about society as a whole. While it is likely possible to cut away the extremes and stop the sheer toxic belligerent insanity, there will likely always remain a…	/r/MensRights	17/07/23 11:20 AM
1	Tired of fandoms “shipping” male friendships There are some things that can make that a bit “complicated”. First of, for everyone still used to media from times or cultures that were a bit more reserved around that, that more or less was like you would portray it, even as a gay author. Lots of innuendo, maybe some subtle hints, but not an outright confirmation. That attitude can carry over and of course make people see things where they were definitely not intended. Japanese media, which a lot of the modern fanfiction movement really latch…	/r/MensRights	05/06/23 07:09 AM

Eh, I admit, the game rather hit a nerve with me after looking forward to the initial proposal for years and then getting a very disappointing delivery. ^^ ; I do remember that many in the west were criticizing the all male cast. I think at that time though, Japanese developers were not paying as much attention to western media, which seems, alas to be shifting... ^^ ; To me, the game mostly falls short by Japanese standards.

I don’t know about that one. A) It frequently goes out of its way to make Noctis look dumb and incompetent and contrasting him with Luna. B) Aside from Ignis who is hiding very strong loyalty and affection behind an iron crust of snark and stoicism, I found the “bro relationship” pretty shallow to downright bad and not really reflective of any deep male friendship.

9	The casual way contemporary culture and most women assume men’s assets are transferred with long term sex. It’s abuse. Plain and simple Basically, as some others already said here, we have the issue that we simultaneously still stick to some aspects of “evolved sex differences” while also pursuing an egalitarian moral system seeing all humans as fundamentally equal on paper. And usually, where that clashes is currently resolved in a way that favors women.
