| 4 | This isn't 'feminism'. It's Islamophobia (Rageworthy)Even if I wasn't interested in men's rights, I'd still have serious reservations about the article. I fully agree that we need to take a stand on misogyny, if not as MRAs, then as human beings. Nor do I completely disagree that at least some criticism of Islam is fueled by xenophobia. But, in terms of practical effects, this article isn't just silly, it's downright harmful. When the very first sentence is already criticizing 'white men,' one cannot make the case that the article is directed towa… | /r/MensRights | 25/12/13 04:55 AM |
| 0 | What future event/tragedy do you think will happen that will make people realize not only are women no longer deprived but in fact equal to men?If you've ever had the opportunity to see women as a group make decisions, it's incredible how differently they process information in general. I'm not sure if I buy Argument #1 without a source, but even if it was true, we probably should have more women in office. Having more than one perspective is a good thing, especially in politics, where we seem to keep making the same mistakes over and over. That said, I don't think we'll see that perspective involved in politics, mostly because of Argum… | /r/MensRights | 05/08/13 02:22 AM |
| 0 | When I was in junior high school I was sexually harassed by 3 or 4 senior students. I have crippling agoraphobia now, and I think that's why.I never thought I'd say this, but: thank you, Judas. I'd had a really negative experience when trying to force myself outside the house again despite my...everything, and I was speaking from a place of extreme anger. Now the incident is far enough away in my mind that I recognize my post as the BS that it is, and I'm incredibly thankful that there were people on this subreddit to help ground me again. Sorry for posting in a long-dead thread, but it took a lot of courage for these people to call … | /r/MensRights | 05/08/13 02:10 AM |
| 4 | I always hated the "False Equivalency" comic.Forgive me if I'm wrong, but there's nothing actually preventing women from writing comics for women, is there? People self-publish 'zines all the time, and if the market for comics for women was really as big as is often claimed, I'm sure some capitalist would have exploited that untapped potential by now. I think there's a difference between "women aren't allowed in comic book stores" and "publishers can't entice women into comic book stores." While I'd support women making comics for women, I… | /r/MensRights | 05/08/13 01:00 AM |
| 7 | I always hated the "False Equivalency" comic.It's not the double standard that bugs me about the "false equivalency" deal. It's not even that fact that the lady in this comic drew an Anime Batman, and somehow anime never gets called misandrist just for catering to women. It's the idea that male fantasies are inherently wrong, but women's fantasies are only fantasies. I am going to make a small gender stereotype assumption on this Reddit and assume not many of you have read a women's romance novel. As a wee lad, I read a lot, even discoveri… | /r/MensRights | 04/08/13 08:17 PM |
| 9 | So i got banned from /R/Feminism for thisIf you support women's rights, you can't be what /r/feminism would recognize as a feminist. No matter how well-intentioned the feminist cause once was, the people who have power now care more about their hate-filled rhetoric than they care about improving conditions for women. The next time you read an article written by a feminist, ask yourself if it is more about punishing men for being men, or if it's meant to actually correct an injustice. That's not to say that injustices for women don't ex… | /r/MensRights | 04/08/13 07:25 PM |
| 2 | Women in STEM Scholarships: Do they actually do anything?I don't believe that this is the proper way to fix the problem of there being too few women in STEM fields. However, I do think it's justifiable if we accept the rest of "the system" working the way it does. As someone who was in school for a STEM program until recently, there was a dearth of female students--but the ones we did had were far smarter than your average male student. The way I saw that was that the few women in STEM really wanted to be there, despite society telling women that they… | /r/MensRights | 25/07/13 11:09 PM |
| 5 | When I was in junior high school I was sexually harassed by 3 or 4 senior students. I have crippling agoraphobia now, and I think that's why.Sorry to hear about what happened to you. I'm in a similar situation with the agoraphobia, but lurking around /MensRights has been incredibly helpful, because I know I'm not alone. I wish I could tell you that doctors and therapists would understand these things, but I've been in therapy for a little over a decade now and I haven't had a single one who really "got" what I was talking about. Maybe things will change, but as of right now, I don't think they're trained to know how to deal with fema… | /r/MensRights | 20/07/13 08:34 PM |
| 2 | Why are you an MRA?I don't put much stock in certain metrics. Claims that women are better off economically in cultures where they can become housewives don't mean much to me--I wouldn't want to be a househusband who depends on literally everything from my mate. And I've met a lot of intelligent and hard-working women whose gender has been the principal reason they've been held back in their careers. Sure, she could give up and live a comfortable life without working, but that's not what she wants--and it's not wh… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/13 07:50 PM |
| 11 | I don't usually rage...Women, of course, have the right to be afraid--especially in an unkind universe. Knowing a few victims of sexual assault myself, I can't say their fears are unfounded. But if you applied the same logic to any other situation, you'd get a very different response. Someone with little morals could make up some BS argument that, hey, according to statistics, people with green skin commit more crimes, so I have to assume all green-skinned people are evil until proven otherwise--and you would be, quit… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/13 03:57 AM |
| 1 | Why are you an MRA?I'm an MRA because mainstream feminism is less about equality for women and more about hostility towards men. I used to call myself a feminist, and if you defined a feminist as someone who believes women should have the same rights and opportunities as a man, then I remain one. There is no question in my mind that women are suffering, and that they are suffering at a greater rate than men. But gender politics need not be a zero-sum game, and we shouldn't measure "equality" by both sides taking e… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/13 03:08 AM |
| 4 | An Open Letter to Penny Arcade, RE: CisgateUnintentional irony--just remembered that Gogo might be either a man or a woman, and could Mimic both male and female movesets. Not exactly transgender, but that might be the first time in video games there was a character with a non-conformist gender lifestyle. (I heard Birdo being a "confused man" was just someone's poor attempt at a joke for the Super Mario Bros 2 manual. I wonder if that person would do it over again differently? I remember one of the creators of Star Control II apologizing … | /r/MensRights | 24/06/13 05:40 AM |
| -5 | An Open Letter to Penny Arcade, RE: CisgateIf he had an alternate viewpoint, he would be a bigot. Which, I suppose, isn't technically censorship, as it is usually defined by a government doing the censoring--but it has a chilling effect. Nobody wants to hire, or work with, a known bigot--even if the rumor isn't exactly true. Let's go back to his original tweets. He doesn't include transpeople as women because it hasn't occurred to him. I'm not arguing for this, but isn't there at least some validity to the idea that female masturbation w… | /r/MensRights | 24/06/13 05:32 AM |
| 7 | An Open Letter to Penny Arcade, RE: CisgateI'm not actually in high school--I was in college until this past semester, but ended up quitting. Too much living in fear. I don't want to blame it on the Twitter thing, but it didn't help, either. The "jock" thing, though--it's an entirely different universe. I'll explain this in a bit, but as I said to a friend during the last drunken football rape scandal: "I wish, just for a second, we could be that kind of rapists." I don't mean I want to be a rapist, hell no, but as I've said before, I've… | /r/MensRights | 24/06/13 05:20 AM |
| 9 | An Open Letter to Penny Arcade, RE: CisgateI deleted my entire online presence. And, while it's probably just me being paranoid, I looked up how to use Tor just to post this stuff. As far as reporting it goes--no way. If you're here, you probably know exactly why. In high school, this one girl was extremely upset that my locker was next to hers, so I tried to make a deal with her, right--I'd just stand 10 steps back, wait for her to be done, and then I'd use it. She'd occasionally stand in front of the locker and stare me down, and I'd m… | /r/MensRights | 24/06/13 05:08 AM |
| 5 | An Open Letter to Penny Arcade, RE: CisgatePerhaps you're right about him fessing up to his mistakes. He made a mistake, and he should apologize, no question. But I feel like he's not apologizing to transpeople, he's apologizing to people who wanted to get mad at Gabe and what they think people like him represent. He didn't have a transphobic agenda when he made his tweets. He's just a goddamn idiot. I know what transphobia sounds like; I occasionally have to eat Thanksgiving with my extended family, you see. This wasn't that. No, it's t… | /r/MensRights | 24/06/13 04:55 AM |
| 5 | An Open Letter to Penny Arcade, RE: CisgateI don't know anything about the charity and haven't researched it. A quick glance at the website makes it seem like they're doing good work. It's why the donation was made that bothers me. He felt pressured to donate money because he was severely undereducated about a specific subject. Instead of engaging in a calm debate about it, a vocal minority spun simple ignorance into rumors of transphobia, and now someone has to spend $20,000 to fight these accusations. I don't think that's good preceden… | /r/MensRights | 24/06/13 04:34 AM |
| 5 | An Open Letter to Penny Arcade, RE: CisgateRationality has nothing to do with it. Most of human life is beyond the scope of rational thought. Feeling has to come in at some point--we don't need to justify watching TV shows, or listening to music, or spending money on useless gadgets to some God of Rationality. I disagree with most political correctness because I feel it's an attempt to avoid discussing uncomfortable but very real issues, a polite form of censorship, but treating someone as their non-biological gender isn't politically co… | /r/MensRights | 24/06/13 04:11 AM |
| 10 | An Open Letter to Penny Arcade, RE: CisgateMy post was originally a letter to someone who was claiming that they weren't transphobic, so I didn't feel a need at the time to state that I wasn't, either. If not spelling that out made it sound like I was against transpeople, I sincerely apologize. I think most of us grew up in a culture that believed in a gender binary, and that there is definitely an adjustment period in our thinking and transgendered people, but having met a few has caused me to realize one simple truth: what genitalia th… | /r/MensRights | 24/06/13 03:50 AM |
