| 1 | Why are there easy hormone replacement thrrapies for women, but not for men?Testosterone isn't taken orally. There's similar steroids that can be taken like dbol (the blue pills that Arnie took) but it's not quite the same (e.g. natural testosterone changes into estrogen which men also need). Orals are also usually a bad idea for long-term use because they tend to need to go through your liver or kidneys before they are active in your blood, which will damage those organs if you take large amounts. There's new formulas that seem safer but they're very new - https://www.… | /r/MensRights | 29/10/21 06:22 PM |

But they'll disagree on the specific meanings. I think it's part of a larger problem in academia - if you can't contribute hard facts, you need to write bullshit.

But White Ribbon only exists because it's message supposedly stops men doing bad things. Yet some of the very people delivering the message seem to be doing bad things.

If you asked me to qualify it, you'd be right.

| 3 | UK: Police 'should tell men to stay indoors' when a killer is on the runCan't get the source, but I'd guess it's hard to disentangle things like childhood nutrition (well-off people tend to be taller). Wait, I found the article: However, when simultaneously controlling for all measured confounders, height was weakly and positively related to violent crime. So the study you linked really shows the opposite to what you said. | /r/MensRights | 28/09/21 09:42 PM |
| 5 | UK: Police 'should tell men to stay indoors' when a killer is on the runObviously larger, stronger people cause more serious violent crimes, for the same reason why good-natured Labradors cause more serious attacks than vicious little corgis.

Altruism was deemed important in long-term relationships and friendships, but for short-term liaisons, non-altruists were preferred to altruists.

Women, despite in many ways being spoiled by society, have worse mental health than men (except in extreme cases). 99% of the time, being told to work on yourself is the tough love you need.

I'm pretty sure they're trying to make them look silly. But there's more than a grain of truth behind it. The current Australian group-think is that domestic violence is all about the Duluth model and some gender inequality original sin.

It sounds like someone has brainwashed him into thinking that practically all sex could be rape, and men have to go to enormous lengths to validate that the women is actually OK with it because they're fragile creatures who will suffer enormous trauma if a guy puts his penis in her vagina without first making a contract that would be considered enforceable under consumer law. | /r/MensRights | 10/09/21 08:32 PM |

Sex strike is urged now to fight Texas anti-abortion law.The vast vast majority of straight men have very similar views on abortion to their partners. In fact, it's often the women who drive the view (the vast majority of men chalk it up as a women's issue, and listen to their partner's opinion).

I guess some MGTOWs and incels are a bit more "all my problems are due to feminism / women" types, but they are pretty extreme.

| 1 | What are the benefits of being male?Higher expectations. Men are expected to fix their own shit, and most of the time this works out well. It does result in a minority of men failing hard - people should be encouraged to get help if they really need it, but it's good to encourage people to solve their own problems if it is possible. | /r/MensRights | 30/10/20 08:48 AM |
| 2 | "men only bring up men's issues to undermine women's issues, you don't actually care about men"A lot of MRAs don't care that much about men, they just think radical feminism is stupid. For example, if a lot of serious violence against women is caused by women hitting men (and the men eventually hitting back). Or ragey dickheads who simply don't fit the Duluth Model (e.g. drug users, mental illness, just guys who are generally fuckwits ... the kind of people who aren't really about control but are just a problem for everyone and it just happens that their girlfriend / wife just happens to … | /r/MensRights | 27/10/20 08:01 PM |
| 1 | Girl meets guy. Girl strangles guy. Girl gets convicted of manslaughter.It's Australia. For a first offense of this order I'm surprised they didn't just give her a stern warning. And she was diagnosed batshit crazy. She also warned state carers (she was an adult ward of the state) and the police before committing the murder. Maybe they wrote it off as attention seeking (which I'm guessing is an issue with people like her). I think the judge bought that if someone is going on some kind of mental episode and they actually try to turn themselves in, then it's a mitigat… | /r/MensRights | 23/10/20 05:10 AM |
| 1 | Quick review of the science: The most common traits described as "toxic" (grit and strength) are actually good for us. They reduce depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. They also improve psychological well-being, life satisfaction, meaning in life and academic outcomes.Any trait is bad in the wrong context. Men have the best mental health, because they sort their own shit out. But a few men have the worst mental health because they tend not to seek help when they aren't able to sort their own shit out. | /r/MensRights | 20/10/20 07:45 PM |
| 2 | UK: White working class boys are the most deprived in BritainGet a decent haircut, talk properly, carry yourself better, and make sure to dress like a middle class kid. Anyone who looks like a chav will get treated by teachers like a chav. It's not about money (middle class kids often have cheaper clothes than some chavs) but more just style. You know what I'm talking about, and so does everyone else. I don't think this is fair, but it's the way it works. Statistics show that teachers are tremendously prejudiced, mostly against the groups who cause troubl… | /r/MensRights | 18/10/20 06:54 PM |

| 2 | More than 40% of domestic violence victims are male, report reveals | Domestic violenceIf you view violence against women as a public health crisis, and want a harm reduction strategy, shelters for men is a smart move. There's research (e.g. Deborah Capaldi's) suggesting a lot of serious (e.g. requiring hospital) violence is men getting hit until they hit back. It's not too different to guys fighting each other - most guys only go into "fight or flight" mode and try to do serious damage if they've been physically hurt. Ironically, the Duluth Model puts fight or flight mode violenc… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/20 10:01 PM |

| 2 | Police: Woman Admits She Fabricated Traffic Stop Sexual Assault StoryThis is the reason feminists and women in general do not take things about our problems seriously. No it's not. It's wrong, and it's rude, but you can have someone who behaves with a lot of decency like Jordan Peterson (who I'm no huge fan of, but he certainly was quite polite as far as I can tell) and they won't like that either. | /r/MensRights | 17/10/20 05:59 PM |

Yeah, that's the other one. An office with nice decorations like plants is a good office to work in, because they're making enough money to buy plants.

| 3 | Why women get equal pay if they don't generate equal revenue ? In 2020 "gender equality" is more like female privilege and supremacy.Companies with 30% female executives rake in as much as six percentage points more in profits, according to a study, feeding into a global debate over the scarcity of women in decision-making business roles.The conclusion stems from a study of about 22,000 publicly-traded companies in 91 countries ranging from Mexico to Norway and Italy conducted by researchers at The Peterson Institute for International Economics, a Washington, DC-based think tank.
