1	This just turned up on r/Australia. I can't even... Understandable. I don't care to much for being pigeonholed as a victim or for issues being viewed in that kind of black and white manner. Separating gendered issues into male or female issues tends to do exactly that completely ignoring the fact that all gender related issues are linked in some way, impacting one another. It seems to me to be counterproductive creating more hostility than solutions. It would be nice to one day see things like this focusing more on the issues themselves and highl…	/r/MensRights	26/11/13 07:35 PM
0	This just turned up on r/Australia. I can't even... Other factors which I have already explained are not an issue in her situation. Don't get me wrong you are right it is often the case that there are other factors to consider. However if it's a case like this were the factors you've mentioned are not at play, the person in question works harder, is more talented and has undeniably been of high value having single handedly improved the quality of an entire department, and is still being paid less than their worth despite increasing the profits of…	/r/MensRights	26/11/13 06:53 PM
-3	This just turned up on r/Australia. I can't even... She's not lucky she is successful because she pushes herself to the limit and works harder than anyone else there to be so. While wages have been in decline, when I say she works for a famous Australian company I am referring to the AFL (Australian football league). Not sure how much you know about Ausy culture but I can guarantee the AFL is raking it in as much as ever. I understand wanting to pass it off as an economic issue or explain it away as being her fault, it's the same reason extreme f…	/r/MensRights	26/11/13 05:16 PM
-3	This just turned up on r/Australia. I can't even... I wish that were the case but he had not been there for even 10+ years let alone 30 Also she's had this position for the past five years. Now I actually do understand that people get raises over time (so no need to condescend) but considering her starting salary was $55,000 and 5 years later she's just barley on $60,000, I'd say the chances she'll receiving the $85,000 he was five years from now, are pretty damn slim. Edit: To answer your last point it's a regular 9-5 and I can assure you she wo…	/r/MensRights	26/11/13 04:10 PM
-10	This just turned up on r/Australia. I can't even... This would be an excellent point if it weren't for the fact that my sister as the head of a department for a famous Australian company is being paid $60,000. $35,000 less than the $85,000 her male predecessor was receiving. Now I understand the anger people here have when it comes to the discrimination men face in court and other areas but as an Australian (perhaps this is no longer case in the US) to say its a complete fallacy that woman here in Aus earn less than their male counterparts for do…	/r/MensRights	26/11/13 03:25 PM
2	Fuck people who don't think men can be raped by women! [GRAPHIC/Language/NSFW] I'm so glad you understand and yes with all that traveling an open relationship is definitely the best way to go, I would do the same. There's nothing I appreciate more in a partner than honesty and knowing they have the respect for my body to be safe when their with someone else. It kills me to know that someone has disrespected your body and personal boundaries. Edit: word	/r/MensRights	10/08/13 11:28 PM
5	Fuck people who don't think men can be raped by women! [GRAPHIC/Language/NSFW] Ok, I'm very sorry for asking you such a personal question but I felt it was important if it had been the the case that you not attempt to confide in someone right now if they were going to feel resentful towards you for any part of what had happened. I'm really happy to hear that your relationship with her is an open and honest one, hopefully having support from her and speaking to someone with professional experience in this area will be helpful. I wish you the best of luck getting through thi…	/r/MensRights	10/08/13 10:49 PM
5	Fuck people who don't think men can be raped by women! [GRAPHIC/Language/NSFW] Just wondering, so she's on vacation right now and you say you intend to tell her when she gets back, you also mentioned until you realised you couldn't find the condom that your intentions were in fact to sleep with this woman. Obviously that intention changed drastically when you couldn't find it after having heard about her past sexual history and its absolutely not ok what she did. My question however is a little unrelated, I'm just really interested to know, do you and this other woman that…	/r/MensRights	10/08/13 09:54 PM
1	Just more feminism double standards No I don't think your trying to justify her proportions I think your just very confused as to what constitutes a power symbol. Just because you keep saying that power for a girl is being pretty doesn't make it true. What you're saying is nothing more than an assumption you have made based on zero factual evidence. Being pretty and being powerful are two entirely different things and you have shown no correlation between the two. I would never say to a guy being powerful to you is being a cold, e…	/r/MensRights	05/08/13 12:06 AM
1	Just more feminism double standards I see what you're trying to say but it does not make her a power symbol and she isn't marketed to girls as one, she is marketed to them as being pretty. This works because society tells women the most important thing they can be is pretty and there-for young girls that have yet to fully develop their own identities want to play with the "pretty" doll. The problem with this is the physical health risks. While I don't think it's psychologically healthy for young boys or girls to be bombarded with …	/r/MensRights	04/08/13 11:04 PM
1	Just more feminism double standards I think that's a little naive to suggest woman get their sense of empowerment from possessing one particular trait just as it would be to suggest the same about men. Society definitely likes to portray it as being more important for a woman to be attractive than for her to be strong just as it likes to place some absurd value on idea that men shouldn't cry or show their emotions if their to be considered "real" men. However i'd like to suggest the possibility that power means different things to…	/r/MensRights	04/08/13 08:00 AM
1	Just more feminism double standards This isn't really an accurate comparison. A barbie doll figure isn't a female power symbol. If this were a comparison between a he-man figure and say a chun li figure it would be. They are both powerful characters but while the male figure here can be seen as powerful, "barbie" on the other hand for decades has been an image that instils in young woman their only value is in their physical beauty (to an unhealthy degree where a person would actually be at risk of death if they were to seriously …	/r/MensRights	04/08/13 05:54 AM
1	Shit like this pisses me off this is true it's clearly just a joke besides while I get why a lot of guys wouldn't appreciate the joke as a woman if if got married and the guy cheated on me this would be my sentiments exactly. I would never marry someone for their money I would only do so if I loved them but if they were to hurt you weather your a man or a woman I think we can all relate to the feeling of wanting to hurt them back.	/r/MensRights	09/06/13 01:48 AM
