| 1 | My story: From gender studies psycho to normal personThat was a lot of fun to read. You assembled a good set of reference points and mapped the strategic landscape of everyday feminist commentary well. That's hard to do but essential when arguing against massively entrenched narratives like the feminist set. It only makes sense to bring statistics and carefully reasoned arguments to bear once you have the attention of your audience, and feminist narratives work because they have an army of foot soldiers on twitter, facebook, youtube, newspaper art… | /r/MensRights | 19/09/18 04:34 PM |
| 2 | So the Honey Badgers lost their lawsuit. Is it time yet for a discussion about ethical fundraising?So it sounds like your assertion of "bad faith" and "unenforcability" were soundly rejected by the judge. Yes, and I am disputing the reasoning of the judge. Finding that Allison was harassing people, and therefore ejecting her from the conference, without taking her aside and having a 10 min discussion with her, allowing her to respond the allegation that she was harassing people, is not a good faith effort. I don't understand how the political speech distinction matters here. I think what matt… | /r/MensRights | 07/09/18 07:23 PM |

| 2 | So the Honey Badgers lost their lawsuit. Is it time yet for a discussion about ethical fundraising?If the Comic Expo was an invitation only event, and Allison wasn't invited but showed up anyway, I would agree with your reasoning about private events. They would be within their rights to have her leave the premises for any reason at any time. However, that's not even remotely what happened here. They accepted money from Allison, signed a contract with her that promised to resolve complaints by listening to both sides in good faith, then did not make a good faith effort to hear her side. And a… | /r/MensRights | 07/09/18 05:36 PM |

| 2 | Feminist woman here, in the mood to passively listen.Ok. Now your commentary makes more sense. I should have gone into more detail on whst i mean by a rebuttable presumption of shared parenting. I mean that, in the event of a divorce where the parents do not agree on the split of custody, where both want at least 50%, the court is forced to order an equal split unless one side can show some compelling evidence that the other side is unfit. All of your examples (alcoholism, mental instability, ...) definetly qualify IMO, given compelling evidence a… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/17 09:40 PM |
| 1 | Feminist woman here, in the mood to passively listen.Equally fit? You mean, for the most part, who spends most of the time being a hands on parent? Why should that be the courts concern? Are you suggesting that by marrying someone who the court might judge as a better parent than you, you are giving up the right, should your partner divorce you, to equal access to your children? That amounts to not protecting the legitimate interests of the provider in a provider / nurturer marriage. That can only go on for so long until all you have left are prov… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/17 08:52 PM |
| 2 | Feminist woman here, in the mood to passively listen.If the problem is that abusive parents are considered fit, then why would a rebuttable presumption of shared patenting put more children at risk of being abused? Are you assuming that more fathers are abusive toward children than mothers and that without shared parenting, mothers would be favored in custody therefore fewer children would be exposed to abuse? In your reply, you refer to abusers as both mothers and fathers yet you seem to be arguing that far more father are likely to be abusive th… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/17 07:31 PM |
| 1 | Feminist woman here, in the mood to passively listen.Are there any particular thinkers that influenced you, or books / essays that helped you find your way out of resentment and toward understanding / engagement?

| 5 | Feminist woman here, in the mood to passively listen.I think a lot of women who had been through that many bad experiences with violent and threatening men would develop a hateful view of them. Although men and women are not identity groups in the same sense that different ethnicities are (men and women cant wall themselves off as groups the way that ethno groups can in any sort of functioning society), cross group resentment is fueled by individual acts of violence and cruelty and it must be hard to see past your list of horrors, think creatively… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/17 12:40 PM |
| 1 | Feminist woman here, in the mood to passively listen.I also generally feel that, as I see often inside of feminism as well, the root causes of the issues tend to be unassigned, and anger misdirected. As a feminist, what do you think the proper root causes and objects of anger are for legitimate feminist issues? What sort of common misdirection of those concern you most? | /r/MensRights | 17/10/17 12:15 PM |

| 1 | Sometimes I feel like males are mad overprivileged. Why do you agree?Assuming you are open to hearing alternatives to the patriarchy theory of history (the idea that men as a group oppressed women as a group for most of history, that women are the victim's of history at the hands of men), and not merely interested in finding partisan support for it (and ammunition to use against the alternative theories of history), you might find this essay worth your time is there anything good about men.

| 1 | Sometimes I feel like males are mad overprivileged. Why do you agree?Women Are Wonderful This research found that while both women and men have more favorable views of women, women's in-group biases were 4.5 times stronger[5] than those of men and only women (not men) showed cognitive balance among in-group bias, identity, and self-esteem, revealing that men lack a mechanism that bolsters automatic own group preference.[5] Other experiments in this study found people showed automatic preference for their mothers over their fathers, or associated the male gender w… | /r/MensRights | 06/09/17 04:34 PM |

| 3 | Sometimes I feel like males are mad overprivileged. Why do you agree?Are you saying that if women had more than 50% of the votes in the house or senate, they would use that majority more wisely than men use it? Because women have more than 50% of the votes in the population that elects congress and the president, so why do they keep electing men to Congress in such ovetwhelming numbers? They appear to prefer to have men in power who then vote for war in Iraq and afghanistan. | /r/MensRights | 06/09/17 11:14 AM |
| 2 | Sometimes I feel like males are mad overprivileged. Why do you agree?If men as a group took advantage of women as a group by using their greater physical strength to overpower them, then wouldn't they have also needed a strong in group preference as well?

| 1 | Q4Women: Are you oppressed?When most people talk about society valuing one person's life more than another, they mean that society puts more resources behind protecting one than the other. Or equivalently that society is more willing to tolerate the loss of one than another. Your axioms about the value of life are high minded and match the way people like to think society is rather than how it acts. An ought and not an is. So you are saying that the essay I linked does not argue that the life of a man should be worth less… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/17 12:36 PM |
| 1 | Q4Women: Are you oppressed?Devoid of society and it's trappings? So you are not interested in whether society values the life of a woman more than the life of a man, you want to know if a woman's life is more valued by something else? You realize value us a pairwise concept, right? As in X values Y? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/17 04:55 AM |
| 2 | Do you think parents have a right to know if the child they're raising isn't actually theirs?Those are recommended, not mandatory. So would you be OK with paternity testing becoming a routine test on par with the other ones? I don't know exactly what forces are at work there, but for those tests to be routinely done and paid for, the state would probably put them on a list and most insurers would wind up paying for them. The ones that didn't would face heavy push back of some sort or you can bet they would not spend the money. Be careful with your assumptions. A lot of people on here op… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/17 06:48 PM |
| 2 | Q4Women: Are you oppressed?You would like to see some careful analysis that argues men and women have distinctly different value as human beings? Every culture that has survived to the modern day has held the lives of women to be more valuable than the lives of men. The societies that kept their men disposable (and therefore freer to act in the public sphere) and their women safe (and therefore less free to act in the public sphere) overran the ones that didn't. This follows from the obvious fact that a group that loses a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/17 04:45 PM |
| 1 | Do you think parents have a right to know if the child they're raising isn't actually theirs?So far we have been discussing the cost vs benefit (to the child for accurate medical history in diagnosis treatment throughout its life) of paternity testing versus the other routine tests done on newborns. Neither of us has yet shown enough information to make a powerful case on this account alone. Evidence of that sort would compare the liklihood of various illnesses going undetected / untreated for want of paternity information throughout the child's life to the liklihood of the other illnes… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/17 04:29 PM |
| 2 | Do you think parents have a right to know if the child they're raising isn't actually theirs?Knowing who the actual father of the child is would not tell us the full medical history of the father, but it would let us connect what is known about the fathers medical history (which is typically a lot) accurately to the child. This doesn't always or even usually play a role in accurately diagnosing or treating a serious illness in a child's life, but sometimes it does. Much like the other mandatory testing that an infant goes through shortly after birth. You could skip any of those other te… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/17 03:24 PM |
| 3 | Do you think parents have a right to know if the child they're raising isn't actually theirs?Given that knowing the medical history of the actual father of the child could be required later to diagnose / treat a serious illness of the child, why shouldn't this be mandatory? What about the other routine tests done after birth to detect various treatable conditions as early as possible? I mean, it's in the best interests of the child right (its medical well-being)? Or does that principle suddenly fall for some other reason we would rather not talk about? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/17 02:59 PM |

| 6 | Why don't we ever talk about abusive mothers? - DID you know children are more likely to be harmed by their biological mother than father?Because, while we have accepted that women posess the same virtues as men, we have not seriously entertained the proposition that they posess the same vices (cruelty, violence, pettiness, greed, self-absorption, ...). Until we do, we have not really extended women the respect that we extend to men, and we have not really extended men the same compassion that we extend to women. | /r/MensRights | 19/06/17 01:43 PM |

| 2 | Easy opening argument against feminism which is working for meYou are right that men have a strong instinct to protect women and feminists exploited that, but blaming men was another pillar of their success.

When one groups partisans have an edge, when their slurs stick and the others dont, the rank and file stop listening to their peacemakers.

Please feel free to pick them a part - I am willing to consider everything you say carefully, and of course to change my mind.The traditional marriage was a nurturer / provider partnership. Each side of a pairing like that has legitimate interests that should be protected in the event of a divorce, or other poisoning of the relationship. I think that currently, when a nurturer / provider divorce happens, the legal system is only protecting the nurturer's interests. The protections mainly run one way.

| 2 | I just wanted to end 2016 on this note -X-Repost.I think which outcome (bringing a pregnancy to full term or having to emotionally and financially support a child to adulthood) is more onerous depends a lot on the individual woman and her goals and interests at the time.

An MRA, however, who calls into question the idea that men should be easily disposed of in the spheres of war and work? Now that is a threat.

| 2 | The Reasons Women Don't Know Anything About Men's Problems And The Challenges Men Face In LifeYour observations about how the public debate is structured are all consequences of the brutal fact that all societies that have survived to the modern day have held that men are disposable and women are not.

This essay explores how gender roles evolved in light of the disposability of men, and how modern traditionalist and feminist attitudes follow from it.

| 1 | Circumsizing men at infancy is a form of oppression and teaching men that their body is not theirs.I don't think any of the offered explanations for circumcision in the U.S. hold up to scrutiny.

The closing paragraph is to die for: Feminists might not be so surprised today if they had paid more attention when college women, as a feature of Title IX enforcement, were being treated like impressionable children incapable of choosing to join a sports team.

For example, most rape victims were probably supported by the community around them, not told to forget the whole thing. The police and medical personnel would probably be sympathetic.

How could it be possible for one person to not realize that they are dominating someone else?

They would seize a school, separate the boys and girls, send the girls home, and execute the boys. The western media was silent. Once they started kidnapping girls, the western media started paying attention, and did not mention the slaying of boys once it did.

| 2 | ‘A silent issue’: Researchers say 1 in 3 teen boys attempt suicide after being sexually assaultedThat is even more absurd, in the direction I am complaining about, because then 1in6 is a lower bound on the fraction of males that were assaulted (1 in 6 is just the number that were assaulted by the time they turned 18, raise the age of assault to be higher, and an even larger percentage of males would have been assaulted). That would mean that not only had 9 out of 6 females been assaulted, but possibly even more than that!

I think the idea that this happens to a lot of women is widely believed and there is significant public sympathy for the women caught in those scenarios and forces. What is not widely believed is that there are signif… | /r/MensRights | 24/03/15 01:06 PM |
| 2 | TIL a CDC study claims more men are victims of partner abuse than women : todayilearnedmost people have enough common sense to know that, if a child says "my dad got angry and cut me with a knife," that the kid isn't lying about it. If a child were deliberately/viciously cut by a parent with a knife, there would normally be a lot of evidence beyond the childs sole testimony to go on. If, in the midst of a custody battle, the child was talking about an event that happened years ago, I think the judge should entertain at least three theories: 1 the child was attacked by the parent a… | /r/MensRights | 24/03/15 11:17 AM |
| 3 | TIL a CDC study claims more men are victims of partner abuse than women : todayilearnedLike I said, half of domestic violence restraining orders are denied. Are you under the impression that judges are trained to be conservative regarding restraining orders and that, generally, they are not granted easily enough? | /r/MensRights | 23/03/15 06:43 PM |
| 2 | TIL a CDC study claims more men are victims of partner abuse than women : todayilearnedEven in the US, there are police and judges who think it is okay for a man to beat a woman. The fact that a few of those exist says nothing about how many exist. I would be very surprised if that number has not been in steady decline for a long time. You can make the average courtroom as just and rational as you want and still have a few judges here and there like that. By that standard, society will never be enlightened enough to suit you. Any large scale societal gains can be dismissed by find… | /r/MensRights | 23/03/15 12:54 PM |
| 3 | TIL a CDC study claims more men are victims of partner abuse than women : todayilearnedIn what country do you think women are treated like property? I grant you that in some countrues, women are treated like children in that their husbands are responsible for them (women cant, for example, travel without their husbands, or fathers, permission) but I am not aware of any country where they are treated like property. Being treated like a child does come with less freedom, but it also comes with some advantages. Imagine an abusive housewife in pakistan. The husband would have even les… | /r/MensRights | 23/03/15 10:35 AM |
| 14 | TIL a CDC study claims more men are victims of partner abuse than women : todayilearnedIt is undeniable that men have inherent power advantages over women. And women have inherent power advantages over men. The particular advantage men have over women, their physical strength, doesnt count for much when it comes to domestic violence, because you have to sleep sometime. And when you do, you can be struck so hard in a single blow that you would not be able to defend yourself, and your abuser can do any amount of damage at that point. So, for people living together, the only practica… | /r/MensRights | 23/03/15 03:01 AM |

| 5 | Is there a single feminist who accepts the fact that men are on average worse off than women according almost all statistics measuring the quality of life and discrimination?This sort of thing leaves me feeling hopeless about the future, to be honest. I saw that link as well and had the same reaction. However, they are putting some effort into being quantifiable and open, so its not hard to see, as iainmf did, that women are ahead of men in 3/4 of the countries included. If that bias is there, and its still easy to see that women are ahead, then you have to give the site credit for being objective. Constrast that to the NISVS research and how underhanded they are in… | /r/MensRights | 20/03/15 03:51 PM |

| 4 | Promoted Comment: Girlwriteswhat on her awakening, and why feminists *must* suppress our voicesThat is a great analogy. I am thinking that the force = argumentation the light side = rational (aka careful, precise thought), more subtle and requiring a longer road to mastery, the willingness to admit you are wrong at times, ... the dark side = snark, more persuasive and immediate, requiring lots of practice to get good at, but not requiring self-knowledge or introspection or humility to get right. Snark can be used to build large cooperative groups and power structures that last for a time,… | /r/MensRights | 17/03/15 03:21 PM |
| 2 | I'm a feminist and up until about a week ago I was very anti men's rights... until I started digging deep. Question: Has this happened to feminists? Read my text for details.The reason I identified as a feminist was because I wanted to see equality. Hmmm. In what way, back when you first started identifying as a feminist, did you think equality was lacking? I suspect people identify with groups that validate them in some way. Feminism has portrayed women as the victims of history, and men as their victimizers, for a long time now. Being told that you have been held back and that another large group of people were responsible for that and owe you as a result is very … | /r/MensRights | 17/03/15 12:49 PM |

Read my text for details.A network of self reinforcing (demonstratably false) beliefs (that organize society in some way) can last very long, depending on what's at stake. What you've stumbled onto is the mechanism our brains use to form coherent groups of people. The building blocks of clans, tribes and entire societies. How long did slavery last and how many people knew damned well what a moral outrage it was all along? Slavery lasted as long as it did because of the role it played in the economy. Similarly, the decli… | /r/MensRights | 17/03/15 11:13 AM |

Read my text for details.I am guessing that your post is not genuine, but an attempt to rattle our cage. If it were genuine, you would have more to offer in the post about your thought process than "I started reading about the men's movement and now I see the light, its a miracle!". I could be wrong, but that's what this smells like to me. BTW, this point: men's rights groups attempt to take money from going to women's shelters is true.

When you are dead, you don't need to deal with the consequences of anything, obviously. That says nothing about how we should weigh death itself as a consequence, as compared to other consequences. By your same logic, having to deal with a headache is worse than dying as well. What does say something is how often people would, given a choice between death and something else, choose death.

| 1 | I’m a woman who hates menThe idea of having sympathy for bigots seems ridiculous at first, but I think there is serious merit to it. People adopt bigoted attitudes because they don't feel confident that they are valuable to the people around them and try to fill the lack of self-esteem with the value of being a victim of others. They get the negative attention and sympathy that goes with that instead of the positive attention that comes with making yourself useful to your family, co-workers, friends, ...

Do other shelters do this?I think circumcising a 4 yo boy without medical cause is morally grotesque, in a way resonates far more widely than the circumcision an of infant does (although, an infant is even more helpless than a 4 yo and therefore carrying out medically unnecessary amputations on an infant even more grotesque) If you want the law to be respected, then your first duty is to make the law respectable.
