2	My university dorms allow you to request all-female dorms, but not all-male dorms. How do they do this and not realise? At least at my university that's just standard naming convention. The Engineering Society is Engsoc, the Science Society is Scisoc, etc.	/r/MensRights	14/06/15 07:34 PM
3	CEO of Reddit: Ellen Pao says she "weeds out" candidates who don’t embrace her priority of building a gender-balanced and multiracial team. She has also has removed salary negotiations from the hiring process because studies show "women don’t fare as well as men." I believe the difference in success stories between black and other minorities in the US is mostly related to slavery. This is my reasoning: Any black person who lived as a slave labourer received little to no education during their time as a slave. Suddenly freed but still hated by the southern white majority, they would have struggled to obtain housing or a steady job to put food on the table. Some turn to crime to feed themselves as the poor might be forced to do, which furthers the hate the …	/r/MensRights	07/04/15 05:55 AM
-9	Nobody goes into marriage expecting divorce, but it comes frequently, & she really does get the house & the kids. In divorces, men lose. Your child support will be based on what a judge thinks you should earn, so that, if you're a stock broker, you can't decide you'd rather work on a fishing boat. What he says about half of marriages ending in divorce is a myth that really needs to be dispelled. The truth of the myth can be seen in a graph in this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/02/upshot/the-divorce-surge-is-over-but-the-myth-lives-on.html To sum it up, marriages that started in the 80s and 70s had a high divorce rate and since then it has been decreasing. If the 2000s follows the trend, by 2040, 40% will have ended in divorce.	/r/MensRights	30/03/15 05:05 PM
5	In a psychology experiment women were found to be more aggressive than men, but only if their gender was hidden. It's important to note that the graphic says the difference between men and women when they were anonymous was not significant. That means the difference was within the expected margin of error and possibly any of the following are true: Men are slightly more aggressive Women are slightly more aggressive Women and men are similarly aggressive	/r/MensRights	25/03/15 06:13 AM
2	This shit. (Xpost /r/rage) I believe they were talking about the tradition of father-daughter purity balls. The daughters vow to remain virgins until marriage and the fathers vow to protect them until they are married. I can see the parallels with marriage.	/r/MensRights	30/10/14 04:22 PM
4	Was It Rape? A handy flowchart, courtesy of lawcomic.net. I think this situation if it came to trial would come down to a jury making a decision based on "Would a reasonable person be aware you were not consenting?" So like trying to push them away or stop them from penetrating or being penetrated would be a clear sign to a reasonable person.	/r/MensRights	23/10/14 07:22 PM
10	Sex dolls for men are evil and creepy. OTOH, the castrated phalluses many women enjoy = empowerment. Yeah I think it's much more about the uncanny valley-like feelings that make sex dolls weird and not the fact that men use them. On the other hand a dildo or a fleshlight is a tool. One could argue that they are often decorated to look like the body part they are substituting for and that may have some uncanniness.	/r/MensRights	08/08/14 07:47 PM
17	Feminists scream rape at Marvel Comics after Captain America rape scene (Disclaimer: It wasn't rape) It's complicated. Her last known age was 14, but apparently she has aged 9 years in a few months. The excuse is that she's from a dimension where time works differently.	/r/MensRights	03/07/14 10:09 PM
1	Dear MensRights - A False Accusation Through My University Has Me Terrified For My Future, Please Help. Not to be pedantic, but a motif is a theme. A motive is a reason to do something.	/r/MensRights	18/04/14 05:01 PM
18	Feminist blog doesn't understand the bias against male babysitters. Could it be due to the fear-mongering about males that this same blog has spread? There is for some reason a notion that a man in a relationship has been vetted and is not a threat. As if only creepy people commit crimes.	/r/MensRights	19/03/14 04:58 PM
2	Schools that punish boys for doing the right thing: two boys take the initiative to report to school staff that they accidentally brought something to school (beer can and plastic gun). Both are suspe The argument is that since boys are socialized to be more interested in action movies, military, tools and weapons that zero-tolerance policies for weapons disproportionately punish boys.	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 05:01 PM
2	Male privilege. I'm having trouble finding a primary source for the claim that women attempt suicide three times more than men do. However, I did discover this Canadian paper which counts attempted suicides by hospitalization rates for self-harm. In their research, women are hospitalized for self-harm at 1.5 times the rate men are.	/r/MensRights	15/07/13 04:10 PM
8	Male privilege. For the general population, it's the high success rate. Women actually attempt suicide more than men. Men choose fast suicide methods more than women do, leading to more fatalities over fewer attempts.

3	Don Draper Was Raped TwoX actually gets bashed a little by the far side for having too much male opinion. I read a thread the other day where someone from SRSWomen was trying to get the mods of AskWomen and TwoX to make the subs read-only for men. The mods were not into it.	/r/MensRights	19/06/13 05:04 PM

8	Women's magazine Marie Claire completely spins the Adria Richards story into a fictional tale of sexual harassment and sexism within the tech industry. Under the title 'When Geeks Attack'. It's not that unheard of in high-end software jobs in California. Facebook, Google and Zynga, for instance, all have private chefs and provide dinner for free. Needless to say, they also don't pay overtime. Another service some of the big tech companies provide are private shuttles to and from residential neighbourhoods.	/r/MensRights	20/05/13 06:22 AM

2	"How Feminists Corrupt DV Research" - by Women Against VAWA Excess. "The Kernsmith study, the World Health Organization report, and the pattern of selective citation show how ideology can be converted Are they? This post and this other one are literally the same article by Dr. Murray Straus, on two different sites.	/r/MensRights	13/04/13 07:21 PM
2	[X-Post from r/Toronto] 50 Most Disgusting Responses to Toronto's Male Rape Victim Only two of the five, unless the others are also alts of his. The more interesting part is that one of his was downvoted and the other one was highly upvoted (Which I assume was because in context, it was interpreted as sarcasm).	/r/MensRights	09/04/13 09:29 PM
14	As a veteran who lost both of his legs in Afghanistan I find the fact that the only links involving programs for disabled vets are for women and minorities. Yeah, this screenshot definitely doesn't indicate either point: That there are women & minority-only programs for disabled vets. That there are no programs for disabled male / non-minority vets. In fact, I spent a couple minutes searching and couldn't find what page he was on, other than it seems to be under the Vet Services section because it has the crisis line image in the right hand side. I did, however, instead find this in the FAQ: I have heard there is a special program to help severely d…	/r/MensRights	09/04/13 09:18 PM
