19	Found this when browsing through my local book store... "what if the genders were reversed?" The funny thing is, this used to be the feminist battle-cry when they actually had issues to fix.	/r/MensRights	25/12/12 10:37 AM
14	Men's Rights vs. Feminism vs. Egalitarianism True feminism is about true equality for women, not getting priveledged. That has been said about true socialism, true liberalism, true capitalism... you name it. Talk is cheap. Execution is everything. Fact is, people make misjudgements, errors and fuck everything up (at least in some extent). One should not give full authority of something for anyone. No matter how True or Just they claim to be. Everyone ever has always claimed to be on the Good Side. But we fuck shit up. When the Social Justi…	/r/MensRights	24/12/12 08:50 PM
21	Men's Rights vs. Feminism vs. Egalitarianism So my question is, why don't both men's rights activists, and feminists who support their cause on the basis of equality for all and do not harbor negative feelings towards the opposite sex identify as egalitarians. A spectrum of voices is more useful than an unanimous voice. Gender equality is a political dimension with several issues, which are zero-sum-games (e.g. gendered healthcare spending) and people generally make mistakes. That's why opposition has the most important role in a democracy…	/r/MensRights	24/12/12 08:40 PM
1	My Feminist Identity Crisis In my presentations, I frequently mention that most rapes are acquaintance rapes, meaning they are done by someone known to the victim - either in a relationship, or a friend-in-a-bar type of date-rape situation. Why do you guys think that rapes like this occur more frequently? Do you agree that this happens more often to women than to men? Why/why not? I think who has to suffer more in this sense is a bit of a moot point from MR-perspective. What I believe, is that men and women are (likely due…	/r/MensRights	23/12/12 11:58 AM
1	Query: Are you now or have you ever been a feminist? 1) I don't like to identify myself or my world-views through symbols nor ideologies. I don't identify myself as masculist, feminist, MRA whatever. I'm interested in ideas and viewpoints. MR has one of the freshest and most interesting PoV right now, and I feel more sympathy towards them (as underdogs) rather than established feminist-culture. Womens rights movements do not need my support as much as they. 2) I would distance myself further from feminism. It's not wrong to stand for a non-inclusi…	/r/MensRights	03/12/12 06:24 PM
5	I am a girl who is interested in learning more about the MRM. Right, that might have been what the right to vote was based on historically, but what about today (or the last 50 years for that matter), where the draft has come under increasing fire and is no longer commonly used? Men no longer get the right to vote because of it, so should women still be restricted from voting, or if allowed to vote, expected to "pick up the slack"? Speak for yourself. I'm drafted. In well-known "gender-equal" societies, like Norway, Finland or Switzerland - the geopolitica…	/r/MensRights	27/11/12 06:50 AM
6	Why so much hating on marriage? The risks in failing marriage are not as grand where I'm from. But nevertheless, I'm strongly against the institution. Marriage is among the contracts, where an individual has no right for renegotiation or establishing one's own terms. Issues like gay marriage, polygamy, divorce etc. would be moot if marriage wasn't regulated by law at all. I think a church should decide who they want to bless and an individual should decide the terms. Not an external government. Granted, it's good that an exter…	/r/MensRights	16/09/12 09:02 PM
3	I've called mysel(f) a feminist since high school. Now, I'm rethinking it. Don't get too attached on labels. It's good that people can get you to question, change and enhance your perspecties. But ultimately, labels lead to externalized thinking. Learn. Don't follow.	/r/MensRights	12/09/12 01:26 PM
3	hey, r/mensrights. I want to talk to you. You can, but many are at a disadvantage due to some tenents they have subscribed to. Women, men and the world would benefit from some greater scepcism towards current dogma of social justice. I've watched implementing feminist politics and group-think further than most of the world combined. In scandinavia, we have a concept called "state-feminism", meaning that thebgovernment has committed itself towards a certain path of gender-equality. There's a lot of great achievments, though the problems …	/r/MensRights	09/09/12 04:30 PM
1	hey, r/mensrights. I want to talk to you. I think that feminist women are simply more likely to realise they are being exploited. Well, I disagree in a way. I mean, they are right that they are getting a shitty deal (like most people), but the premises of the ideology appear very misleading, faulty and self-damaging. In short, they know they are being screwed, but they fail to understand the dynamics behind their oppression and the means to fight back worse than most people with "street-smarts". I think feminist emancipation failed in m…	/r/MensRights	09/09/12 03:09 PM
4	hey, r/mensrights. I want to talk to you. I'll draw an anecdote from my dayjob as a security consultant. Me telling a client that they should keep their protective measures up to date and not allow their browsers to the shady districts of the internet is not about me being a dick or blaming them for the damages network criminals cause. We are still trying our best to catch 'em, but it sure would help me if normal people would do their part, increasing the difficulty and risks of the perpetrators. So when a seasoned professional, like a …	/r/MensRights	09/09/12 11:13 AM
2	/r/MR, a request A suggestion: clean comparable real world scenarios of how men's situation can (and in someplaces is) be better. E.g. "In Sweden, men too get 6 months of parental leave." Or "In Germany, men can play with their kids without being suspected as a pedophile" Or "In [i don't know where], false rape claims are a crime" Or "In Canada, there is no draft requirement for men's student fiscal aid" Or "in Finland, Shared custody with capped child support is the default" Pointing out, how "easily" things co…	/r/MensRights	08/09/12 12:24 PM
