| 2 | Feminist blogger 'disturbed' by the new Male Studies academic disciplineI'm concerned about the individuals selected for leadership roles in this conference as well. After some thought I have changed my mind about some of my initial feelings on the idea of a "male studies" academic discipline. The blogger linked is correct, however, to point out that Lionel Tiger is hardly the right sort of person to lead a movement toward the study of masculinity "free from preconceptions." His own preconceptions are notoriously misogynistic. One frequent argument against women's s… | /r/MensRights | 16/01/10 01:14 AM |
| 2 | Dan Savage; You're a douche if you don't like the idea of your GF or wife flirting with and making out with other guys.Thanks :) I enjoy Dan Savage, too. I remember sneaking away from school to the bus stop as a teenager to pick up our local free weekly to read his column every Thursday. Of course I could have just read it online, but it's more fun in an actual newspaper. He's overall a force for good and has helped to fight homophobia, transphobia and the generalized fear of human sexuality that's polluting our political system. But everyone has their faults and this is IMO one of his. | /r/MensRights | 08/01/10 05:12 PM |
| 10 | Dan Savage; You're a douche if you don't like the idea of your GF or wife flirting with and making out with other guys.I agree if you're unhappy in a relationship, enough so to gripe to an advice columnist for any reason, you should probably leave. I just wish Mr. Savage would simply say that rather than attacking the character of people who have more mainstream sexual tastes or a lower sex drive. He's always the first with a vituperative rant against the people who consider kink immoral, so why exactly is he so comfortable demonizing those who aren't kinky and making them out to be useless partners? There are p… | /r/MensRights | 08/01/10 07:36 AM |
| 6 | Dan Savage; You're a douche if you don't like the idea of your GF or wife flirting with and making out with other guys.If you read Dan Savage, you've definitely heard a woman called a frigid bitch for not fulfilling whatever fantasy her partner has. In Dan Savage's world, 95% of the time the more sexually adventurous person is right. | /r/MensRights | 08/01/10 05:26 AM |
| 1 | Can some of the custody experts here offer advice to a father whose son was taken to another country without his knowledge, during his scheduled visitation?Note: This could be a troll or a scam, but if the situation is 100% real, I think the father needs help modifying his custody agreement even more than he needs donations to visit his son. I know there are people here who have been through custody battles and even a family lawyer or two--can anyone give him some guidance? | /r/MensRights | 07/01/10 10:15 PM |
| 5 | Um, did Saydrah post a story about herself falsely accusing a 16 year old boy of rape? No, but it's one hell of a strange coincidence.Come on, dude. We may disagree on multiple issues, but do you really think that I would submit something, to r/mensrights, with an angry "fuck this chick" kind of title, that was talking about me? I'm not going to give my real name (especially not here) but if you look, you'll find it, and it's much more unique than my alias. It's unique enough that even giving you my first name would be enough for you to find my identity with a single Google search.

| 3 | My Response To "Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"You can't judge the author on the basis of comments on her blog. If you did that to my blog, you'd have to infer that I'm an idiot, a big fan of Tom Clancy and an online troll, since those are the three types of people who typically comment on my posts. She made a good post that, if read slowly with a stiff drink in hand and deep breaths, can even serve as a window for men into female life. I get that it's infuriating for you to read--that's sort of an unpleasant side effect of telling the unadu… | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 10:38 PM |
| 4 | My Response To "Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"Also, have you read this? Try to detach yourself a little bit from the original Schrodinger's Rapist article first and just relate to her personal narrative. It's pretty realistic, even though my first impulse despite my own similar experiences is to recoil from it because I still like to live in a comfortable little denial bubble sometimes. But it is true: Women have to make a lot of big sacrifices in our daily routines to feel safe. Asking men to sacrifice their sense of entitlement to our tim… | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 07:50 PM |
| 3 | My Response To "Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"I read your post and I see parts of where you're coming from, but I think you're missing the mark in a lot of places. Firstly, the original author's work was targeted as a guide for men who want to approach strange women without being perceived as threatening. It's advice, which is easily confused with "giving orders." I write blog posts full of advice for pet owners--does that mean I'm a control freak who feels threatened if pet owners don't follow my "orders?" Secondly, yes, if one gives a dir… | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 07:25 PM |
| 3 | My Response To "Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"relating male assertion to rape I don't see it that way; I see it as relating male entitlement to rape. How different are these statements, really? "I am a nice guy. She owes me a chance." "I am a nice guy. She owes me sex." Aside from the first, obvious, all-important difference, they're very similar, and that's what makes women nervous about men who feel entitled to an ownership interest in any part of our bodies or minds. It's probable that a man who feels entitled to my time and attention wh… | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 07:02 PM |

You mean, exactly like your ideological advocacy for men's rights? Feminist successes help men, too. Now that women can work and succeed in their careers, men are freer to choose stay-at-home fatherhood. The loosening and, in some cases, elimination of fixed gender roles frees both men and women to escape their traditional "place" in society and seek happiness as they see fi… | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 05:36 PM |
| 1 | My Response To "Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"Thanks, that's good to hear. It's sort of frustrating that there are some things that don't seem to be relatable for most people without personal experience, and personal experience in those things is only available to one gender. I'm sure there are some male perspectives and issues that I don't get and can't/won't get because I simply haven't ever been in that position. | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 05:13 PM |
| 0 | The only way I can see to make a difference.Argument: Attacking a group of people who currently represent the only successful gender-rights movement worldwide and refusing to learn from their mistakes and successes is harmful to your movement. Additionally, few rational human beings will take seriously a group whose primary argument appears to be, "Boo hoo, I don't like feminists!" | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 05:11 PM |
| 1 | The only way I can see to make a difference.I don't know if they'd consider your suggested additions on-topic to most existing texts. There's no requirement that a book about a social issue present both sides. Nobody goes back and edits pacifist responses into Machiavelli or Libertarian arguments into Locke. In my experience, most gender studies texts are primary sources; that is to say, they use books and essays written by activists about their views and experiences. There are a few introductory textbooks that are actually written as tex… | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 04:53 PM |

Not "no feminist," no person with two brain cells to rub together and create a spark, including other men's rights advocates.

| 0 | The only way I can see to make a difference.The reality is, if you possessed the cognitive faculties to understand feminism, you'd probably recognize that the worst way to be taken seriously as a social movement is to smear the only other movement that has succeeded in the same area. I don't care what you think of feminism, really. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But men's rights activists are making the same mistakes early feminists made, and if they were more willing to seek allies and learn from a more mature movement, they woul… | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 03:49 PM |

| 2 | The only way I can see to make a difference.I like everything about your post except the confusion of "feminism" with "misandry." Whether you personally feel that everyone who considers himself or herself a feminist is also a misandrist or not, drawing a distinction between the two is necessary if you hope to be taken seriously in this quest. I would suggest that you write to local gender studies professors, express polite concern about some specific issues pertaining to men, and offer to visit the class and give an informed presentation … | /r/MensRights | 14/10/09 12:04 AM |

| 5 | My Response To "Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"Lastly you double back significantly on your support of the author. Which of the two is it? Is it flirting or is it rape? As a writer myself, I see her language as inflammatory and provocative, more than it is literal. She's making a point, not saying that she literally thinks about rape every time she sees a man. At least, that's my interpretation. Again you strain credulity, this time past the breaking point. It is hard to treat the rest of your message with any level of seriousness when you m… | /r/MensRights | 13/10/09 11:45 PM |
| 4 | My Response To "Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"I'm not sure what's so controversial about the author's assertions. Her title is provocative, and I don't think most women actually worry about rape every time any stranger approaches, but yes, a strange man approaching is often a cause for anxiety. Being approached by a strange man frequently leads to unwanted flirtation and commentary on one's looks. That's not a comfortable situation to be in. I don't think most men like it if strange women approach them to give a series of rude "compliments.… | /r/MensRights | 13/10/09 09:35 PM |

| 4 | Reported rapes drop to their lowest level in 20 years, thanks largely to the numerous benefits of DNA evidence.Well, I think you're overlooking the fact that knowing and being able to identify your rapist doesn't actually count as proof of their guilt. In fact, victims of acquaintance rape, spousal rape and incestuous rape might be more likely to benefit from DNA evidence, since the accused rapist can be easily located and a DNA sample can be compared to a sample from a hospital rape kit. When stranger rape happens, DNA evidence is one of the few tools police do have at their disposal, but it's not much … | /r/MensRights | 08/10/09 08:06 AM |
| 3 | Reported rapes drop to their lowest level in 20 years, thanks largely to the numerous benefits of DNA evidence.Use of DNA evidence has expanded gradually over the past 15 years and can put a rapist in prison the first time he's caught, preventing him from harming other women, Berkowitz says. Many rapists are repeat offenders. | /r/MensRights | 08/10/09 03:30 AM |
| 6 | Reported rapes drop to their lowest level in 20 years, thanks largely to the numerous benefits of DNA evidence.Well, one would hope that both are true. As the article posits, less rapes may be occurring because the existence of DNA evidence acts as a deterrent and because more potential serial rapists are caught after their first crime. | /r/MensRights | 07/10/09 11:06 PM |

Assuming that a victim of rape would be offended by rape jokes is just one way to try to fit people who have been raped into the little "How Victims Act" box, which is then used to assert that anyone outside that box hasn't actually been raped.

A person who has been fathering a child for years, then discovers it isn't biologically his, retains paternal rights to that child as in loco parentis, the person who has acted in place of a parent. Imagine raising a child for 5, 8, 10, 16 years and then some guy who your wife cheated with years ago shows up, swipes some of your kid's saliva and discovers that he's the biological father.

I'd like to see 100% of all teens learning to cook satisfying, nutritious and low-calorie meals, as well as learning to shop for the ingredients necessary to do so.

Yes, so long as the speech does not expressly incite violence. I suppose one could argue that a sculpture of severed penises incites violence, but I would disagree-- sculptures of severed body parts have been displayed for many centuries without outbreaks of body part severing in the areas where they are displayed.

I'd find the severed tongues exhibit disturbing (as I did this one when I saw it), but I wouldn't oppose displaying it in an art gallery, nor support censoring it because someone was offended by the artist's self-expression. Lousy, obscene art is still, in my opinion, art-- if we start deciding which sculptures are art and which are not, that opens too many doors to widespread censorship.

The last war that proceeded with the support of the electorate was World War II. That said, I think this is a point where we'll have to agree to disagree.

| 1 | Feminist 'art' portraying hanging penises to protest rape nothing but crude male bashingI don't see it as an attack, though. If it were a sculpture of gaudily colored guns made by a victim of gun violence, I wouldn't interpret it as an attack on all gun owners. Art is a window into the way one person sees the world. The artist is saying, in a very crude and pornographic way, "I am damaged and this is now what I see and feel when I try to have a sexual relationship." When Georgia O'Keefe painted vaginas into all her work, was she attacking women? I don't think the depiction of a sex… | /r/MensRights | 05/07/09 06:22 PM |

As a self-identified feminist, I would say, "Many misandrists use inaccurate and unfair stereotypes (etc.)" There are bigots in every subset of society. There are misandrist feminists, misandrist men, and probably a few misandrist black transsexual Libertarian dwarves.

Should we go back to requiring a petition to the Pope in order to be granted a divorce? She wanted a divorce. He begged her not to leave. She refused.

You r/mensrights types complain constantly about how awful fatherhood is because men are expected to support their children financially even if they don't live with or have a relationship with the mother.

I think it's a damn shame the guy didn't have the option to take the girl and leave because he likely feared the court … | /r/MensRights | 16/09/08 04:57 PM |
| 2 | Father wouldn't give disabled daughter up for adoption. So the mother drowned the child.Developmental disabilities formerly regarded as mental retardation are not the same as cerebral palsy. If you want to discuss whether or not killing babies should be allowed, go pester Maddox. I'm done playing with this particular trainwreck, so go ahead, have your last word-- something about how I MUST be wrong if I'm no longer willing to indulge you by debating such a patently ridiculous topic, and how I'm just so cowed by your remarkable ability to argue on the internet that I've taken my bal… | /r/MensRights | 15/09/08 11:48 PM |
| 2 | Father wouldn't give disabled daughter up for adoption. So the mother drowned the child.It's not just not a direct quote, it's a transmutation and decontextualization of my original statement into something with a completely different meaning which would, indeed, support your point, had I said it. Which I did not. I am both unable and unwilling to answer any questions about why I made a statement I did not make, which is ontologically completely different from the statement I did make. Does that clear things up for you? If you really are unable to read for comprehension, here. I'll… | /r/MensRights | 15/09/08 11:31 PM |
| 2 | Father wouldn't give disabled daughter up for adoption. So the mother drowned the child.You must be a Republican. You're really good at misquoting me. Why don't you read my post to yourself out loud, real slow, and then tell me where you found that quotation? | /r/MensRights | 15/09/08 11:16 PM |
| 2 | Father wouldn't give disabled daughter up for adoption. So the mother drowned the child.Sidetrack? You brought abortion into this, which needed to be addressed. Jeebus. Go back under the bridge already, or try Fark. I don't even subscribe to this subreddit, and I'm remembering why. | /r/MensRights | 15/09/08 11:08 PM |
| 3 | Father wouldn't give disabled daughter up for adoption. So the mother drowned the child.Particularly determined troll it is, then. Aborting a fetus the size of the period at the end of this sentence (for whatever reason) and killing a four-year-old specifically because is disabled are not comparable. End of discussion. Abortion is not murder. Murder is not abortion. One can be against abortion and for murder (many Christians are!) or against murder and for abortion. | /r/MensRights | 15/09/08 10:56 PM |
| 2 | Father wouldn't give disabled daughter up for adoption. So the mother drowned the child.If you're going to use pure probability to calculate whether or not a baby should be killed, then probability dictates we should kill all babies, because they have a 50% chance of being below-average. Or, better yet, let's kill all black males born-- I mean, one third of them will serve time in prison at some point. They can't all be Barack Obama. Wait! Even better! We could just kill all male babies at birth-- men are more likely to be violent. Plus, men can inseminate as many women as they've … | /r/MensRights | 15/09/08 10:38 PM |
| 10 | Father wouldn't give disabled daughter up for adoption. So the mother drowned the child.Yeah, boy it's a damn shame we don't do that anymore! I mean, lord knows no disabled person ever contributed anything to society... we don't need your goddamn Stephen Hawking or FDR! | /r/MensRights | 15/09/08 06:11 PM |
