2	Apparently, you can't ask if men think they're being discriminated against as a gender in /r/AskMen. I'm a moderator of AskMen, and I identify as a MRA. I don't know of any moderators of the sub who identify as a feminist, and I know a couple other mods talk about and are aware of mens issues. As for questions, we do welcome questions from both men and women, what we don't want though is to have agenda posts or have posts that incite drama. Gender wars posts often draw the attention of other subs such as AMR, SRD and SRS, and when they do, they cause a whole lot of trouble for us. That is why w…	/r/MensRights	05/08/15 01:07 AM
2	Apparently, you can't ask if men think they're being discriminated against as a gender in /r/AskMen. Your thread stayed removed because we remove threads that are frequently asked and can stir up drama. There are frequent threads about discrimination against men and they often get linked to subs like againstmensrights, subredditdrama and shitredditsays, among other subs, causing a whole lot of problems for us over there. I'm sorry that you didn't get the discussion you would have liked over there, but we tend not to talk about gender issues and agenda as much over there. Now I'm wondering if th…	/r/MensRights	05/08/15 12:59 AM
5	Huh, interesting To be fair though, there was an 8 hour difference in time between the postings. 27 comments in only an hour is a much faster rate than 164 comments over 9 hours. If 27 comments kept coming in every hour, the male rape charity story would end up with 243 comments over 9 hours. In fact, if you check out the /r/worldnews page, 9 hours in the male rape charity story has over 2700 comments in 9 hours with over 5000 upvotes, where the guardian story just now has over 1000 upvotes and almost 300 commen…	/r/MensRights	27/05/15 08:06 PM
5	Red Pill about to surpass Mens Rights in subscribers What do you think about this? Why should we care? Good for them I guess, but I would say that this sub and trp are separate subreddits. Good for them I guess, I don't think it has much bearing on mens rights however, and that's what I'm more concerned about.	/r/MensRights	02/05/15 12:21 AM
2	When I saw this "infographic" posted (by a professor of mine, none-the-less) I had to respond. I think I did so pretty well. How many troops were in Iraq and Afghanistan for those 11 years? 1.5 million? 2 million? Say there were 2 million troops in those countries, the fact that about 6,500 troops died means that there was a 0.325% death rate, compared to more than 150 million women in the United States which the 12,000 killed provides a 0.008% death rate. Not to mention, there were several years where troops weren't even in Iraq after September 2001. Also, the 3,000 people that died in the terror attacks were from a …	/r/MensRights	09/01/15 11:23 PM

If things do escalate with North Korea or Russia, I can be forced into service in a way that no woman will be subject to. That isn't equality. I feel for those 54 men.	/r/MensRights	19/12/14 09:31 PM

7	If "Jackie" from the Rolling Stone article were surveyed, her "sexual assault" would be counted toward the one-in-five stat . . . Yeah, this has always annoyed me about stats that feminists often use about rape. On the one hand, 1 in 5 women are raped and 93% of all rapists never go to jail are based on surveys and studies where an accusation of rape==a rape occurred, whereas on the other hand, the 2%(-8%, although I rarely hear 8% from feminists, it's almost always the 2%) is based on false accusations that are unequivocally and indisputably false. For the statistic they like, they use the minimum possible burden of proof…	/r/MensRights	10/12/14 12:45 AM

6	This Comic Perfectly Captures How Feminism Helps Everyone. Would you tend to agree? Because we think a guy who is a virgin is sad See, this is something I hate about how feminists "help" on their "male issues." They aren't addressing any major issues that the MRM wants to address, and even if this were one of the top issues of the MRM, they represent it from completely the wrong direction. I was a male virgin until I was almost 21 years old. I wasn't sad that society had a stigma against me or something like that, I was disappointed because I was involuntarily celibate and I di…	/r/MensRights	16/10/14 09:29 PM
21	How many of your female partners are rapists under the CA affirmative consent standard? Well, according to the law, you can't agree to something beforehand. Prior sex acts and a ongoing sexual relationship =/= consent. While using common sense, being married and having agreed to these acts before would be enough for assumed consent, this law intends to oversimplify the situation so you have to obtain consent for each sexual act.	/r/MensRights	29/09/14 07:25 PM

You know the weird thing about relationships and dating? There are two people, and the second person has preferences, even if that person isn’t you. Should a man who wants to be a stay at home dad be a turn-off? It depends on who he’s asking. It might be a turn-off to some women, and that is their choice he should just go find someone else to date. If this girl finds that there are guys that ar…	/r/MensRights	01/05/14 12:20 AM
1	The White House just released an anti-rape video that only addresses men as rapists. "It's happening to our sisters, and our daughters, our wives, and our friends." ... and our brothers, and our sons, and our husbands. Just add that to the video and a few female actresses and politicians and it's not that bad of a video. While it is an outrageous video, at least it does show the narrative that people are trying to weave, mainly rape only ever happens to women. I can only hope that the word can get out about how false that really is, because that idea is extremely sexist and harm…	/r/MensRights	30/04/14 11:38 PM
57	It is never ok to publicly shame children, especially for things they haven't done...unless they're boys. Exactly this. Maybe seeing some cleavage or skin isn't going to send me into a hormonal frenzy, but it still is distracting. Also, "It's hot. Girls are going to wear shorts and tank tops." Male students get hot too, funny thing though, they tend to not show their belly-button, or their upper thigh, or the middle of their chest. If guys can dress for the heat without wearing loincloths, I think women can too. The simple fact is, you are at school, and school is a place where you go to learn.

(of a person or a set of views) opposing political or social liberalization or reform. If you are going to try and give me shit for the vocabulary I use, please try and know what you are talking about. Being anti-feminist is being opposed to feminist social reform. Sure, I think feminism is a good thing to be critical of because much of feminist reform is hurtful and toxic, but if we make it our primary objective to be defined by anti-feminist tendencies then we will be…	/r/MensRights	25/04/14 09:04 PM
3	I got banned from r/feminism for complimenting their scepticism... Really disheartened >.< I realize I wasn't banned, and I will say the feminism sub is pretty shitty in that regards. I wouldn't say that the majority of the people in the sub disagree with my opinion, because it looks like a fairly even split to me. I'm just working from a point of view that I want to advance the MRM, and if people in the MRM try to alienate me and people like me, who are already more supportive of the MRM than over 95% of the people out in the country, then the movement is never going to make any mean…	/r/MensRights	25/04/14 06:29 PM
4	I got banned from r/feminism for complimenting their scepticism... Really disheartened >.< Whoa, hold it there. Friendly fire. You can stop attacking me, because I'm a proud MRA, I just don't think we have to be against feminists 24/7. To clarify though, I will fight feminists with everything I've got when they get in our way and attack mens rights. I hate what Mary Koss has done with the CDC in terms of classifying men who are forced into sex as "made to penetrate". It's fucking despicable, and should be changed. I hate the guilty until proven innocent mentality in terms of rape case…	/r/MensRights	25/04/14 08:31 AM
5	I got banned from r/feminism for complimenting their scepticism... Really disheartened >.< Yeah, as long as the MRM is viewed as a primarily anti-feminist movement, we will always be viewed as reactionary to feminism. "Oh, those MRA's are only crying because feminism is taking away their privilege" I think the MRM could be something entirely separate from feminism, and not dependent on feminism. There are some MRA's who want feminism to "fucking die", but there are also feminists who want to kill all men. I don't think either of those should say that the MRM is anti-feminist or the fe…	/r/MensRights	25/04/14 07:48 AM
28	This is a great satire article by the Onion. I can't believe we've seen the day something like this is published in a main-stream print. It all has to do with different types of rape, and in the workplace, there are 3 special types of rape few people know about: When a woman has a male boss, she is subservient to him and has to follow his directions. This takes away her agency and removes her ability to adequately consent, thus it is literally mental and psychological rape. When a woman helps a male customer, she must put his needs before her own, and is forced by her job into helping a man. This is literally job rape. When a wom…	/r/MensRights	22/04/14 03:39 AM

3	I was catching up on Rooster Teeth podcasts and in podcast 263 at 31:00 after mentioning UK youtubers sleeping with young fans they start talking about females at conventions being extremely forward t Wow, I did not expect to see Rooster Teeth mentioned in this sub. I'm also behind on the podcasts, I have a playlist all the way back to 247 that I plan to catch up on, but I'll change the order around to check out 263. Yes, there definitely is a double standard where female fans acting out is viewed as desirable or cute while male fans acting out is viewed as predatory or creepy. I think discussing these issues is a good step forward.	/r/MensRights	12/04/14 10:53 PM
13	True equal treatment is "disgusting" I like point 9 of the response piece: Female disadvantage is BEING THE ONE WHO IS RAPED. Statistically, women are raped more so than men are It's pretty easy to have statistics show women are raped more when they are tailor made to show precisely that. You know that "1/4 women are raped or sexually assaulted"? Well, in the original survey, 1 in 16 said they were raped, and because that number was so low, they added in "Had sex while under the influence of drugs or alcohol" and "Felt pressured to…	/r/MensRights	11/04/14 05:19 AM

You're not sure if your post "attacks" this sub, yet instead of saying "Hey, this group you guys criticize for avoiding mens issues is supporting this cool video" you said "That kind of dumps on the consensus I've seen you guys make about them."

This is a very moving video, and it really shows a side of this issue that you rarely see. I'm not quite sure why you had to pair it with a slam against the common consensus. Feminism will primarily focus on womens issues, great, MRM will focus on mens issues, that's great too. Both movements have idealistic roots in equality, both also have valid criticisms.

Of course, being the “crazy feminist” that I am, I tried to explain to him that unless he’s a terrible person, he’s a feminist. The author doesn't need quotes around crazy feminist. If she is trying to tell someone that they are a terrible person unless they are a feminist, she is a crazy feminist.

The instructor said that women are pressured to take time off for child care reasons and that is the cause of the 85% work load, but I did get her to admit that the "wage gap" is not men and women being payed different amounts for the same work, but rather that it is men and women being pushed towards different fields and parental roles.

21	After an afternoon of talking with 'feminists' who say they're simply for equality I had some issues with this in a sociology class I am taking. We were talking about gender, and because I was guessing that these issues would come up, I made a little fact sheet beforehand to bring up stats. When the wage gap was brought up, our instructor put up a table showing professions, female average weekly wages, and male average weekly wages.

Unfortunately, men are kind of in the situation of civil rights protestors from the 1960s. We have to take punishment without dishing any of it back, because as soon as a guy hits a woman, people in the media and feminists can use that to say "See! Men are violent!

If women really did the same exact quality of work, provided the same quantity of work for the same duration of time, and took only 77 cents for every dollar that a man earned, female unemployment would be ~0%. Any company with half a brain would only hire female employees and reduce their salary costs by ~11% over their competitors.
