| 1 | Aussie Barber facing human rights court for not cutting a young girl's hairWell... for whatever it's worth, a similar complaint did NOT get thrown out in Pennsylvania: http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2015/09/08/barbershop-fined-for-refusing-to-cut-womans-hair/ I don't know the legal differences. | /r/MensRights | 10/04/18 01:38 AM |
| 1 | Aussie Barber facing human rights court for not cutting a young girl's hairThis barber said he didn't have the proper equipment to cut women's hair (at least in the interview).

| 3 | The premise being that men don't literally do exactly this and more already slaving their lives away to gain the excess income to spend on women's desires...Perhaps the suggestion here is the men should act like more like birds with respect to sexual behavior. I don't know, but I don't think there exists any sort of punishment for male birds raping birds. So, does the author really think it wise to suggest that men act like birds? | /r/MensRights | 08/04/18 12:03 AM |
| 4 | The premise being that men don't literally do exactly this and more already slaving their lives away to gain the excess income to spend on women's desires...Scarcity increases value. So the fertility that women provide is more valuable because it’s more scarce. Value only occurs via an agent. As the saying goes "the price of something is whatever someone [emphasis added] is willing to pay for it." There is no agent which provides value with respect to human reproduction in general. People are not consistent enough in their nature either to get regarded to be similar to an agent. If there existed a supernatural agent that valued human reproduction, t… | /r/MensRights | 07/04/18 10:52 PM |
| 10 | The premise being that men don't literally do exactly this and more already slaving their lives away to gain the excess income to spend on women's desires...Right, so the average man provides more fertility, meaning reproductive capacity, than the average women. Men have far more sperm than women have eggs. Consequently, it's more like women men provide fertility ... than what you said above. | /r/MensRights | 07/04/18 10:10 PM |
| 21 | The premise being that men don't literally do exactly this and more already slaving their lives away to gain the excess income to spend on women's desires...Pretty sure that it takes two. In other words, men provide fertility just as well as women do. | /r/MensRights | 07/04/18 09:58 PM |

It's just a hunch, but when people hear 'exercise' they may think of a school program or some sort of poorly designed fitness program. If they think of exercise associated with school programs, then they might think of exercise as working your body to the point of barely tolerable pain, or having to measure up to some standard of some coach. | /r/MensRights | 16/03/18 11:12 AM |

| 1 | How is this still legal in the USA?Women aren't going to pound as many "all you can drink" as men will, but women are really cheap and so the lower cover charge will attract more of them in. So, then the woman engaging with the bar would pound more, become more liable to liver problems, and also become more likely to engage in risky or immoral sex. MRAs are opposed to this, because it's prima facie discrimination and it's straightforward.

| 1 | How is this still legal in the USA?I think you're correct in some of your details. I do agree that it works as incentive for females to show up and in turn attracts more males to such places. Women get a pecuniary discount which men do not get. So, a man with $10 in his pocket doesn't have the same means to obtain the intoxicants from that bar as a woman with $10 in her pocket. If a particular woman has the same amount of money as a particular man, then she has a greater means to purchase intoxicating substances than he does. Giv… | /r/MensRights | 13/02/18 04:31 PM |

| 1 | Dave Chappelle jokes about Louis C.K. accuser in latest Netflix special | Toronto StarI don't agree that Louis CK did anything morally reprehensible.

Feminism is not a movement for political and social equity since women and girls have more protections (e. g. legal maternal surrender via adoption or abortion, laws against female genital cutting, laws which acknowledge female rape victims as more worthy of concern than male rape victims, the Affordable Care Act in the United States) and fewer obligations under the law (men having to register with the Select… | /r/MensRights | 31/12/17 11:01 PM |

K. have explicit bans on female genital cutting bans of minors, and there is no explicit law banning male genital cutting. Though, some people argue otherwise on the basis of other laws.
