1	I think this would be a good idea. I fail to see how being a male nerd is better than a female nerd Big bang theory, Ghostbusters, Jimmy Neutron. These are all examples of where the protagonists are nerds and because they are protagonists, people, in particular children associate with them. I don’t buy into the toys concept either. Go into a toy store. In the girl's section you'll primarily see 2 things: Baby dolls and Barbie dolls and the like. While, like I mentioned boys get stuff that promotes interest in sciences. Toys are c…	/r/MensRights	26/11/20 05:29 PM
1	I think this would be a good idea. This is definitely something to look into, I do not currently have an answer for this but I will get back to you, friend	/r/MensRights	26/11/20 11:21 AM
1	I think this would be a good idea. It's base society and the media, not some anti women taskforce. How often is there looked down upon "nerdy girls" in television and cinema. They are generally seen as unattractive and undesirable just because they are more academically or scientifically inclined. This creates the impression in young girls that if they want to find love, they have to not like STEM subjects and topics. With various shows portraying male nerds in a positive light, boys are not discouraged from the sciences and are …	/r/MensRights	26/11/20 08:21 AM
1	I think this would be a good idea. My senior level, last semester controls class there were 12 people in my class. How many were female? ZERO! And considering there are 2,200,000 more women in college than men, there should be more female engineers than men. You do realise you saying that there should be more female engineers than male engineers but there are not even though there are way more women than men in university solidly supports the point I'm making.	/r/MensRights	25/11/20 06:35 PM
1	I think this would be a good idea. It's only in the last 20 years that women haven't been actively discouraged from being engineers. My mother graduated High school in 1990 and the only options that were available for women in general to study, was nursing, education and psychology mostly. Even though engineering is now open to women to study, they are discouraged by their parents from choosing these types of fields. Girls are raised to not have an interest in the sciences while boys are actively encouraged to enjoy science and s…	/r/MensRights	25/11/20 06:15 PM

2	What happens when male victims of domestic abuse seek help? I called some domestic violence hotlines to find it out. This is horrible	/r/MensRights	24/11/20 10:01 AM
1	I understand the sentiment, but... I wish I could send voice notes on reddit. Toxic masculinity is exhibited only by men. It is caused by society forcing men to behave in a very limited way. The behaviour that men display because of this societal pressure is the phenomenon we call toxic masculinity. Feminists like myself strive to free both men and women from the specific boxes society has placed them in.	/r/MensRights	22/11/20 06:31 PM
1	I understand the sentiment, but... It's really not hate speech. Those who are offended by it are ones who display this behaviour the most. Toxic masculinity does not refer to masculinity being bad, rather it is negative traits that men are encouraged to display. You can literally google all this stuff. You speak about how it's horrible to continue using a term that a group finds offensive uet people have been calling women bitches and sluts for decades yet I do not see men like you stand up for them.	/r/MensRights	22/11/20 05:41 PM
-1	I understand the sentiment, but... You are actually agreeing with me, while still arguing that I'm incorrect. It's true that women promote this as well, but what they are promoting is toxic masculinity. Machismo is an aspect of toxic masculinity that must first be addressed in order to overcome toxic masculinity.	/r/MensRights	22/11/20 12:15 PM
0	I understand the sentiment, but... I agree that masculinity itself is not toxic, but it easily becomes toxic because of the ideals that are thrust upon us. A perfect example of a distinction between toxic and positive masculinity is Disney's Tarzan. In it, both Clayton and Tarzan are very masculine, manly men. However, Tarzan is an example of positive masculinity and Clayton is an example of toxic masculinity. Even in their final fight scene, Clayton tells Tarzan to fight him like a man, to which Tarzan replies "not a man like yo…	/r/MensRights	22/11/20 10:58 AM
1	I understand the sentiment, but... Toxic masculinity is definitely a real thing, I went to an all boys school and it was the best time of my life. There I experienced both positive and toxic masculinity first hand. Rape jokes and just utter disrespect towards female teachers that they would never show towards male teachers who are just as strict as the aforementioned female teachers	/r/MensRights	22/11/20 08:25 AM
