1	It’s about time That's seriously not true. It's extremely variable by region. In New England, men actually get custody more often than women (when 50/50 isn't granted, which is the most common outcome from court-decided custody). The idea that women are granted custody at higher rates is rooted in the fact that more women have custody of their children. However... the vast majority of custody decisions are made outside of court. When contested, most judges tend to agree (as does the research), that children far…	/r/PussyPassDenied	23/09/20 11:18 AM
1	Tweet of the year yes, but what they are saying is illegal and she could have sued them Did you read the article? Because that's kind of the key issue in it. They weren't up front and what they did was illegal. Quote from the article: Some women are using the law to fight back. In 2001, Andrea Mottu refused to wear a bikini top to serve drinks during a Hawaiian-themed event at the Vancouver restaurant where she worked. She took her complaint to the BC Human Rights Tribunal, which awarded her almost $6,000, saying…	/r/MensRights	09/12/18 03:24 PM
5	Tweet of the year Seems reasonable to me! We should really just let people wear whatever is reasonably appropriate and let them decide for themselves (except for health and safety, e.g. hairnets and beardnets in kitchens).	/r/MensRights	09/12/18 02:14 AM
2	Tweet of the year First of all, that's unrelated to the initial claim that women get to wear whatever they want to while men are forced to wear suits. That's the context of the conversation. That said, this isn't a Hooter's scenario. "I didn't learn of these uniform requirements until midway through my training," says Jen Hatchard, who worked at a Jack Astor's in the summer of 2014. She quit after being sent home for not wearing enough jewelry on shift. "I just thought it was ridiculous and not fair to women," sh…	/r/MensRights	08/12/18 10:32 PM
-3	Tweet of the year I've worked in several offices in the following areas: market research, government research, academia. I have not found this to be the case is any of those office-oriented positions.	/r/MensRights	08/12/18 09:43 PM
3	Tweet of the year I've never worked in IT, so thanks for sharing your perspective. That's bullshit, men should be permitted more leeway in their clothing in this instance. i remember that protest a year or two ago in sweden (i think) of men wearing schoolboy shorts because women could wear comfortable dresses whilst the men were almost dying from heat. I remember that too. It pissed me off, boys should be allowed to be just as comfortable as girls. I think the general issue I take with these situations is that I …	/r/MensRights	08/12/18 09:42 PM
7	Tweet of the year Because they were being forced to wear "sexy" waitress outfits. The issue is supposed to be that women get extra privileges in their clothing choices and from what I can tell, this is the exact opposite. I worked back of house in a number of restaurants for about a decade and I'd be pissed if I was told I had to wear skimpy clothes. I wore the exact same uniform as my male colleagues, as it should be.	/r/MensRights	08/12/18 09:37 PM
-4	Tweet of the year The problem is that its far far far more lenient than dress codes for men. And then women go on to complain about how the AC is too strong when theyre the ones who choose to come in in ligjter clothes while the men are forced to wear suits And I'm still asking you, in what industries? Because that has not been my experience in the slightest, but I haven't worked in every industry. At my old job, dress code for men: suits. Dress code for women: suits. Guess what I wore every day? A suit. On the r…	/r/MensRights	08/12/18 07:23 PM
135	Tweet of the year At literally every job I've ever held, there has been a dress code for both genders. No one has ever complained about it being sexist. What industries are seeing this problem?	/r/MensRights	08/12/18 05:13 PM
1	Toxic Masculinity I'm sorry you perceive generally pleasant conversations as picking on someone. I assure you that it has never been my intent, but I cannot control how others will interpret my behaviors or motives. But I really did have positive interactions with many folks there. Even ones that started out by calling me a cunt still resulted in useful, if not positive, dialogue. In the end, we're all people. And we can't understand each other if we don't communicate. I try to start with that assumption and go f…	/r/MensRights	11/03/18 05:42 AM
1	Toxic Masculinity How?	/r/MensRights	11/03/18 12:55 AM
1	Toxic Masculinity None. I also didn't tell the men in incels that they were alone because of their toxic masculinity either. I listened to them and spoke with them candidly from the perspective of a woman. I never once picked on them. But I've also never faced the level of vitriol I received there anywhere else, and it was all purely based on my gender.	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 07:33 PM
1	Toxic Masculinity I didn't say they were toxic. They are an example of toxic masculinity. Their behavior is toxic. Very different. What else would you call suggesting open rape season on women if not toxic?	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 06:08 PM
1	Toxic Masculinity I didn't pick on them at all. But I did discuss how to best interact with them. Until they were banned, I had held many very positive conversations there. Conversations that often resulted in those same men PMing me with questions like "do women really want to feel connected before having sex?" They are examples of men who have latched onto the ideals of toxic masculinity paired with the frustrations of unsuccessful dating attempts.	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 05:11 PM
0	Toxic Masculinity I haven't had the same experience. The people I know who are concerned about the issue teach about it, and much of the focus is on different understandings of what it means to be masculine. Only some "masculine" things are considered toxic. I gave a guest lecture in one of those classes and my talk focused on the incels community on Reddit. They are a perfect example of toxic masculinity.	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 03:42 PM
1	Toxic Masculinity Absolutely. The people complaining about toxic masculinity would be the first to argue that children need good, positive images of masculinity in their lives. Not that they need to remove all images of masculinity.	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 02:31 PM
1	Eliminating feminist teacher bias erases boys’ falling grades, study finds I'm perplexed as to why you think the racial issue doesn't matter. There is some strong evidence that race matters, specifically in the creation of strong bonds between instructor and student. That, in turn, is a strong predictor of learning. The difference between Asian and Black children should be pretty clear. There are no negative stereotypes about Asian intelligence. Asian Americans tend to make substantially more money compared to African Americans. There are also cultural differences in e…	/r/MensRights	29/12/17 02:44 AM
3	Eliminating feminist teacher bias erases boys’ falling grades, study finds That's really interesting. I'm a female instructor but also a statistician so I'm always concerned about potential grading biases. I always check scores on alternate forms to make sure they're equivalent and grade assignments blindly (so I don't know which student I'm grading). Alternate forms, preference for individual students, individual mood, all of these things affect our grading. Being aware of your biases is so important if you hope to be a fair teacher. I highly recommend "McKeachie's Te…	/r/MensRights	28/12/17 09:49 PM
1	Oh silly me. I thought she had raped him. With him being 11 and all. Mowry’s sexual battery charge is a capital offense and comes with a mandatory life sentence if convicted. It's either life or freedom. This is the problem with mandatory sentencing laws. No one wants to feel responsible for putting someone away for the rest of their life, especially if no murder was committed or the perpetrator seems pitiable. It's part of why Casey Anthony got off. She was looking at a mandatory death sentence. Trials for guilt/innocence and trials for sentencing are supposed t…	/r/MensRights	28/06/17 06:37 PM
2	We don't deserve Judge Judy This is not a no-true-Scotsman fallacy issue though. You are assuming by their gender that they are feminists. At no point did the other two women in the video say anything to imply they were making feminist arguments or were actually feminists. It's far from 100% of women that identify as feminists. That's what the person above you meant. She was literally just eviscerating women...	/r/PussyPassDenied	23/06/17 12:57 AM
1	Male privilege. I don't have any comments on the rest because I'm not educated in those areas, but the percent with full custody is really poorly explained and about as misleading as you can get. Women have greater levels of custody. That does not mean they win more custody cases, it means that most of the time the separating couple agrees on a custody plan. In fact This New England Law Review found that when both parents seek custody, the father is more likely than the mother to be awarded full custody. Typica…	/r/MensRights	10/01/17 01:43 AM
2	Its only a prank ! - No bullshit response Maybe, depends on the management. Way back before this was something people did, a customer threw a hamburger at a coworker of mine at McDonalds for smoking in front of his children (didn't ask him to move or anything, went straight for the burger). My coworker ran inside, grabbed a piece of quarter meat and threw it at the customer and huffed off. My manager banned the customer from the location and the employee was given an hour long on the clock break to cool down. Some managers get it. Hopef…	/r/PussyPassDenied	12/02/16 07:46 PM
1	False rape accuser jailed for 9 months x-post r/mensrights Yeah but usually that's the trial portion and appeals process. She admitted guilt so that's why I assume she's already gone to jail. That and she has an active plenty of fish account.	/r/PussyPassDenied	17/11/15 02:53 PM
2	False rape accuser jailed for 9 months x-post r/mensrights I'm assuming she's already done her time. The article is over a year and a half old.	/r/PussyPassDenied	17/11/15 02:35 AM
2	Girl, 16, who cried rape after cheating on boyfriend is jailed for 6 months Thanks for the comment, I appreciate your words. I know that guy wasn't representative of the sub as a whole. Every sub has its extremists. The numbers may be higher than what's reported, it's really hard to know. I did ask a friend who does research on intimate partner violence and he sent me some sources on false allegation rates that I'll be going over in the coming days. I don't want to use inaccurate statistics. I'm glad you're reconsidering my gender, most of us are pretty cool :) Don't be…	/r/MensRights	13/10/15 01:49 AM
1	Girl, 16, who cried rape after cheating on boyfriend is jailed for 6 months Thanks for sharing, that was an interesting read. I disagree that the study isn't credible. It looks pretty well conducted, though as it's an incident rate study over many years, I am disappointed that they did not perform any longitudinal analyses for trends. I'm in the middle of working on some multivariate statistics coding, so I can't devote time to it today, but I'm going to look into those that cited that article and hopefully in a few days of following the citation train I can have better…	/r/MensRights	12/10/15 12:14 PM
1	Girl, 16, who cried rape after cheating on boyfriend is jailed for 6 months I wasn't rude in the slightest and I came from /r/all. If I'm wrong, I'd like to know that. Calling me a stupid cunt makes me less interested in your argument, however I'm interested enough in knowing whether or not my sources are accurate. Could you provide me with some sources that back your claim?	/r/MensRights	12/10/15 02:14 AM
0	Girl, 16, who cried rape after cheating on boyfriend is jailed for 6 months I was just going off the source I found which criticizes the 2-8% suggesting 5-10% is more accurate. Could you point me to the studies that show the 40% rates? Even if it was 40% (which I'm hoping it isn't), that still doesn't include the large percentage which never gets reported, and still isn't enough to automatically assume a woman is lying if she states she was raped. The default should always be to assume that either party could be lying. Lying isn't a gender thing (actually, there's evide…	/r/MensRights	12/10/15 01:11 AM
4	Girl, 16, who cried rape after cheating on boyfriend is jailed for 6 months I'm trying to have a conversation, not an insult-a-thon. The fact is you can't back up your assumption that the majority of rape cases are false. You asked me to prove it, I brought sources. Where are yours? Only people who aren't secure in what they are saying resort to mud-flinging.	/r/MensRights	12/10/15 12:46 AM
2	Girl, 16, who cried rape after cheating on boyfriend is jailed for 6 months I'm not rationalizing anything. That's the explanation given in the website. That's what women said. Now if you're saying it's bullshit that they rationalize it that way, that's your opinion. It's pretty hard to speak to what you or I would do in that situation, having never been raped. I'd like to think I'd push forward with a trial, but I've also known women who were so emotionally broken after a rape that they just didn't want to think about it or relive it in any way. Anecdotal, but that and…	/r/MensRights	12/10/15 12:29 AM
4	Girl, 16, who cried rape after cheating on boyfriend is jailed for 6 months I'm not an expert, but I cited a source which supports the numbers I've provided. Here's a source which breaks down the low conviction rate and explains that much of it is due to the woman wanting to move on. Please provide a source showing the majority of rape claims are false. I'll be more inclined to believe you then.	/r/MensRights	12/10/15 12:23 AM
11	Girl, 16, who cried rape after cheating on boyfriend is jailed for 6 months That's a terrible assumption. Most rape claims are legitimate. It's just terrible women like the one in this article that have damaged your perception. There are no good statistics on how many rape cases are false allegations, but it appears that number is likely between 5-10%. Still shockingly, appallingly high, but not high enough to assume every man in jail for rape was falsely accused. I hate women like this as much as you do. For two reasons, she lied and severely damaged the lives of three…	/r/MensRights	11/10/15 11:18 PM
1	Help me understand why women are incapable of love. Yes, I've read the suggested reading. How is fighting for a side equality? Because it's fighting to right an existing inequality. That's what each side is fighting for. My desire for equal treatment in the workplace is the inequality I face. A man's desire for equality from the courts as he fights for custody of his children is the inequality he faces. I'm most concerned about my rights because they are my rights, and they affect me more powerfully than someone else's rights. I don't think that's being an extremist, I think that's b…	/r/TheRedPill	04/01/14 05:03 AM
3	Help me understand why women are incapable of love. Yes, I've read the suggested reading. The extremists of each group are, but most do not fall below those extremes. The fringes come to mind much easier, but most in each group are not extremists. Most just care more about equality from their perspective. While they want equality for the other gender, they understandably care more about equality for their own gender. They seek to mend their wounds before helping others.	/r/TheRedPill	04/01/14 04:48 AM
-4	Help me understand why women are incapable of love. Yes, I've read the suggested reading. So you do not believe men and women should have the same rights? If that is your belief, fair enough. I disagree, but cannot begrudge you your beliefs.	/r/TheRedPill	04/01/14 04:26 AM
-5	Help me understand why women are incapable of love. Yes, I've read the suggested reading. Certainly, but I do not feel that being an equalist and a feminist are mutually exclusive.	/r/TheRedPill	04/01/14 03:11 AM
-2	Help me understand why women are incapable of love. Yes, I've read the suggested reading. feminists are incredibly intolerant male bashers. Feminism is bad for you and your relationships Are we? I'm actually rather fond of men. I have little bad to say of men, and nothing bad to say of all men (only gripes about specific individual men, much as I have gripes about specific individual women). Just because I want to be afforded the same options as men- to prove myself based upon my abilities and not what rests between my legs- does not mean I hate or bash men. I think many in your comm…	/r/TheRedPill	04/01/14 02:51 AM
