| 1 | If sexual strategy is amoral, can a woman lie about her partner count?Can they lie? They already do. Realistically, most women already edit their partner count or at very least throw in arbitrary qualifying statements. (Oh we hooked up, but I was younger and partying a lot.) The logical conclusion is to not ask a woman her partner count, and only stealthily deduce an estimate if you're considering her for some greater level of commitment. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/09/14 03:56 AM |
| 1 | Red Pillers: What advice found on TRP is completely unique to the red pill community?I'm not sure very much advice is "exclusive" to Red Pill. Some of it could be found in at least similar form in PUA and Game forums, some of it could be found in various masculinity forums. I would say that the Red Pill advice is a pretty specific blend and direction of advice that you wouldn't find elsewhere. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/09/14 03:47 AM |
| 1 | Has anybody else now realized your Dad's actions and banter with your Mother has subtly included dread and other TRP themes all along? AKA How I'm using my upbringing to set rules in relationships and how Women acted better pre-feminismNo, I have to admit my dad is betabux, and it honestly makes me really fucking sad. Seeing him try and fail with my mom is really what first set me down this sort of path. | /r/TheRedPill | 14/09/14 05:32 AM |
| 2 | The difference between TRP and MRA, and how one leads to the other.Me too. What MRA does is it breaks down the man's trust in what he thought his entire life. It points out the logical inconsistency in society. It shows the weakness of the opposition. It makes the man question everything about the nature of men and women and what is right and what is wrong. I'd never thought of it like that, but it makes sense. | /r/TheRedPill | 03/09/14 03:33 AM |
| 3 | Has anybody been brought here and stayed by the "bad press"?Really? That's interesting, I just kinda naturally fell out of /r/MensRights for reasons I find hard to define. Later found this sub and felt a huge click with everything I'd previously thought about and understood. It was a great thing to happen, but I had no idea there was vitriol between the two subs. | /r/TheRedPill | 03/09/14 03:25 AM |
| 1 | If what women say should be ignored, and we should only pay attention to what they do, does the same go for men?Men's thoughts/words are generally in line with their actions. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/08/14 07:36 AM |
| 1 | If sexual strategy is amoral, why should any woman disclose having had many partners? Shouldn't both sides be equally amoral?As I understand it, it's not that woman are morally obligated to disclose their sexual history, just that to an extent it's desirable for the man to know her sexual history. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/08/14 07:38 AM |
| 2 | Why does lack of empathy, a characteristic of psychopaths, makes someone attractive?Fair warning, I'm just a lurker here, but I'd guess that a lack of empathy amounts to a better exploitation of resources, which amounts to an increase of power. They're only attracted to the power. | /r/TheRedPill | 20/08/14 03:45 AM |
| 1 | I fucked up...I don't think you really fucked up, since you didn't compromise anything too serious. You wanted to preserve your virginity and made it happen. You just had a painful learning experience, and that's nothing to worry about in the end. | /r/RedPillWomen | 14/07/14 09:02 AM |

| 6 | I am a Female to Male Transgendered person and I plan on transitioning to being physically male as soon as I'm reasonably able to. Is there a place for someone like me in /r/mensrights?Definitely, feminists (and women in general) might very well think worse of you than they do of us. Gay and transgender men both have a place within the MRM. | /r/MensRights | 27/04/13 11:50 AM |

| 4 | Men will be extinct in 5 million years (According to female scientist)This is exactly what I was going to say, the Y chromosome isn't going to evaporate off the earth. Also, as interesting note, for all those strange thoughts of female chromosomal superiority, it's the exact opposite in birds. (ZW chromosome system, females have the specialized chromosome.) Mother nature must not be as egalitarian as they think. | /r/MensRights | 03/04/13 02:35 PM |
| 1 | Is it possible to be an MRA and a liberal at the same time?I identify as an MRA liberal. Everything's on a spectrum, and all that. | /r/MensRights | 03/04/13 10:26 AM |
| 1 | Should people who make false rape allegations be required to register as sex offenders?I don't support the sex offender registry, but if it was going to exist then I'd say yes. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/13 04:53 AM |

| 1 | I love a girl but I'm scared to death of getting screwed in a divorce. What can I do to protect myself?You can make sure you don't marry her, live with her, knock her up, or take care of any kids of hers in any way. The first and third items are bad ideas, and the second and fourth can get you counted as married despite anything else. A prenup will not protect you, they get thrown out all the time. | /r/MensRights | 25/02/13 09:55 AM |

| 3 | Obama is sexist and here's why...Don't get me wrong, this shit still is part of the problem, but I've picked different battles. Before anything else, the President is a politician, which entails serving the interests of those who put him into his position. Also, women's issues are a basic staple of the Democratic party, and commonly of liberalism in general. I wish it were otherwise, but this isn't enough to sway me from identifying as a liberal. I hold more ideology in common with liberal thought and the Democratic party than … | /r/MensRights | 15/02/13 09:22 AM |

The guy on the front desk looked me up and doIt's not about him being a coward you stupid shitbox, it's about not going to jail for DV accusations being hard enough when he didn't respond. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/13 10:12 PM |
| 2 | It finally happened.And to think, so many men think this can't happen to them, that their relationship is different. True love and all that. Nope. Men these days need to honestly reevaluate the women in their lives, because these things happen everyday. Trust can be a good thing, but it is not necessarily a good thing. This man was robbed of his mobility from being crushed by a van, and his girlfriend accepted an offer to have him jumped. What kind of benefit will any of you have? Men need to learn to protect thems… | /r/MensRights | 30/01/13 07:50 AM |
| 1 | I was jailed after my wife punched me in the face and called 911.The idea that sufficient watch for warning signs will protect you is probably a comforting idea, but it's honestly one I don't agree with. I think fully trusting your own ability to appraise another person's quality is one of the basic relationship mistakes that a lot of people (and a lot of men) fall prey to. Not that you can't ever have an idea of what you're looking at, just that you can never have the whole picture. The next part of protecting yourself is accepting that the unknown parts of … | /r/MensRights | 25/01/13 07:34 AM |

| 7 | is it an MR position to abolish the sex offender list?I don't support the sex offender's registry. Even if it was only for real sex offenders, it doesn't do anything except give them less to lose. It also throws the justice system off balance. Say you molest someone in a train and go to jail for it. After you get out, you're on that registry for the rest of your life. What was the jail time for then? Did they pay appropriately for their crime or not. I'm all for punishment, but not branding. | /r/MensRights | 03/12/12 10:08 AM |

Providing some sort of push towards that is a good thing, because the fact that women gravitate towards softer vocations of their own accord is fucking irritating.

It's just that if anyone of them had felt need to pull a weapon, shit could've gotten out of hand very quickly.

This sort of thing happens all too often, and aside from however common it is, the real power to it is that men in this situation have no way to help themselves. This fact is reason enough for any sensible male to look at the women around him with a level of cautious suspicion. Yes, suspicion: any person will take the advantages available to them.

| 5 | Can we change the title of /r/mensrights to something less angry?Anger is understandable, but the majority of the time I don't think it does us much good. Changing the title to something more constructive and less reactionary would do good for how we appear to outsiders. The MRM is more than a reaction to feminism, and the scorn earned here is a secondary effect, not the goal. | /r/MensRights | 04/03/12 09:23 AM |
| 2 | A couple of change proposals - Need community input - MR Title and Violent CommentsHonestly, the title could use a change. The OP's proposal option is much more constructive and isn't inaccurate in the MRM's motivations. While the original anger-based title is also accurate, it doesn't do us as much good as the provided change could do. Image is important, stating things constructively/positively is greatly helpful and desirable. | /r/MensRights | 04/03/12 09:09 AM |

If something reflects the majority mindset, you're not too far off base with just making the assumption. The thing is, MRA's are generalized as angry and belligerent, a phenomenon none of us care for.

| 5 | A word about "safe spaces" for feminists and MRA'sOP has a very good point, but even as an MRA I can sympathize with r/feminism. For a female-oriented subreddit, it is really overrun with people from the MRM. Even as an MRA who goes to r/feminism specifically to find controversy, I can understand that their section being full of our members is detrimental. This is mainly considered an issue because MRA's are typically seen as aggressive and abrasive. Prior to the responses of "anything against feminist discrimination is going to be called abras… | /r/MensRights | 29/01/12 08:48 AM |
| 2 | Do rape victims have a moral responsibility to report their rape?I believe I would agree that a rape victim has a reasonable moral responsibility to report her rapist, but not that the victim would be actually responsible for any future victims if they didn't. While they should report, any future cases aren't their fault. Their responsibility only goes so far. I think that's a good, reasonable, defendable position for an MRA. | /r/MensRights | 28/01/12 10:46 AM |

As far as I can tell, as long as one can accept that women are not oppressed helpless waifs, then liberalism doesn't conflict with one's status as an MRA. It's less about, say, social programs (or something else generally considered liberal) being created or not, and more about who they're actually going to.

| 3 | Aren't we just asking for the same equality that feminists asked for years ago?It makes a little more sense with the fact that many feminists feel like there is a patriarchal force out to get them. It's actually, because a right's movement doesn't need a discriminatory conspiracy to justify its own existence. Women feel like they are still "oppressed" to varying degrees, and thus don't want to let go of their advantages. It's undesirable, but it makes sense. | /r/MensRights | 14/10/11 08:59 PM |

It can be arousing, but it doesn't make a woman an easier target. I think better advice would be to go out in groups, and not get too drunk to be able to manage one's faculties. This preserves the responsibility of women to take measures to protect themselves, which is important and not "victim blaming". Clothing is arousing, but doesn't make committing a rape easier. Women still need to protect themselves though. | /r/MensRights | 08/09/11 12:34 AM |

If there wasn't the expectation of the man to be involved parentally, then all that it amounts to is some of a man's genetic material being harmlessly released into the gene pool earlier than he intended for himself.

A man is told to act according to the woman's choice. If he didn't want to be a parent and she does, too bad for him. If he wanted to raise the child and she aborts, too bad for him.

| 2 | What's anti-male about feminism? (an asker in /r/Equality)What's anti-male about feminism? Feminism has developed misandristic qualities by having evolved from a movement supporting women's rights. People are inherently fearful/greedy, and thus stepping from women's rights to misandry is seen as taking the offense in terms of women's protection. This is, of course, flawed. However women may feel that dissenting from misandry is harmful to their fellow women, and to themselves. Group mentality persuades members that misandry is common sense, should the … | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 08:23 PM |

| 1 | The ugly truth about women and trustI usually don't care too much for the Voice's work that gets linked here; It usually strikes me as a little overdone. However, this article was great. It didn't get too worked up, and it presented the issue of our system breaking down inter-gender trust in an unbiased way. He understands that the issue isn't women, it's the privileges afforded to women, and that human nature will take advantage of said privileges. Overall, a great article, and a good thing to see on MR. | /r/MensRights | 15/05/11 05:14 PM |

| 0 | The Human race loves a scapegoatIs there any room to talk about the matriarchy (small 'm') in feminist theory that controls access to family and socialization of everyone thus determines the composition of the patriarchy (small 'p')? Sure there's room, but the point was just that feminism's conjuring up of the horrendous foe "The Patriarchy" is due to the fact that common patriarchy (while not desirable) is simply a mundane occurrence, with no particular dark reach over the world. | /r/MensRights | 14/05/11 06:46 PM |

| 2 | Is having part of your penis cut off normal?It is a popular opinion among women that uncircumcised penises are inherently dirty, due to concern over women's health, (by dint of keeping penises surgically clean) thus creating support for a practice which is cosmetic at best and genital mutilation at worst. | /r/MensRights | 14/05/11 06:13 PM |

| 0 | The Human race loves a scapegoatBut feminists do like to point to patriarchy(thus the choices of individual men) as the source of the most potent evil that ever existed. I think a more accurate statement this that feminists blame "The Patriarchy". Common patriarchy (small 'p') is a real phenomenon. "The Patriarchy" is an aberrant construct, on par with blaming a group's influence on a giant invisible robot. | /r/MensRights | 14/05/11 06:04 PM |

But for the life of me I can't figure out how third wave feminism is different from the MRM.As a man that was raised feminist, I didn't see it as feminism belonging to women. It's not that Feminism belongs solely to women, it's that it works to promote equality where women are disadvantaged, not men. This isn't a bad thing, and Feminism and MR are just separate, more focused halves of egalitarian belief.

| 12 | So I was raised feminist in Sweden. I've read all the FAQs and I've been lurking for some months. But for the life of me I can't figure out how third wave feminism is different from the MRM.Feminism does concern itself about equality (or at least did), but it focuses on raising women from lower levels of society. At one point, this was a legitimate issue. Nowadays, not so much. All in all, the fact that feminism concerns itself about working from a female starting point isn't a big deal, and kind of a given. There's nothing wrong with feminism concerning itself with women, but problems arise from: Later saying they are also concerned about men, which ends is a dishonest attempt at … | /r/MensRights | 05/05/11 03:35 AM |

That's a good point. there is no reason to believe this woman is any less qualified than the other students who applied. Also true, we can assume she's about average.

"Altruism is the defining female characteristic." Hypothetical example of exactly what pisses the MRM off, legitimately.

| 1 | /r/feminisms: "You can't support both men's and women's rights."Feminism isn't innately bad for men's rights, but it will always tend to carry some of that affiliation in practice. It's just a side effect of human behaviour, not anything specific to feminism. The only solution is plain support for men's rights in the face of misandristic tendencies, rebuking undue aggression where is appears. Nothing wrong with that, just the mundane act of dealing with the human condition. | /r/MensRights | 01/05/11 10:03 PM |

Furthermore, when men fight, the motives don't have anything to do with the receiver being male, and the attacker is understand that their actions warrant a similar response. Men fighting is honest and both parties understand the consequences of their actions. Contrast the situation of women feeling entitled to strike men without mutual response.

I'm happy everything worked out, how do you have that sort of problem of dissatisfaction, and not let anyone know until that point.

Even in a matriarchal ghetto they blame patriarchy.I think the "patriarchy" in this one is less of an institution and more of a mindset. The concept of masculinity for a thug boyfriend which was ridiculous/extreme/outdated to a degree is what motivated this violence, and may very well be what radical feminists think of as "patriarchy". There were toxic concepts of masculinity in play here, but the whole ordeal is the product of overall violent people, not any sort of institution. | /r/MensRights | 12/04/11 05:33 AM |
