1	Norway, which is considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, is finally beginning to realize that the "glass seiling" might just be a myth and that women choose differently than me Being a member of the conservative party is an entirely different thing than identifying as a conservative though. That is kind of my point. Not all feminists are supporting bigoted feminist organizations through memberships/funding/whatever.	/r/MensRights	05/01/14 02:17 AM
0	Norway, which is considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, is finally beginning to realize that the "glass seiling" might just be a myth and that women choose differently than me I agree with what you're saying, but I fear that it isn't that simple. It's not as if feminists lobby for donations to the Feminist Fund and then do whatever they want with that money. The movement is comprised of a number of disparate organizations, most of which are not elected and answer to no central body. It's like telling a conservative they need to abandon that label because many conservatives are anti-gay. Or liberals need to find a new label if they have qualms with affirmative action. …	/r/MensRights	05/01/14 01:54 AM
0	Norway, which is considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, is finally beginning to realize that the "glass seiling" might just be a myth and that women choose differently than me The fact that you reworded your answer from how I phrased the question seems like you might be acknowledging the distinction I've been basing my comments on. There is a difference between today's feminism in politics/academia and feminists as a whole. I mean we could even look at countries outside the West where there is nothing even resembling equality for women. It's the same as any other ideology. Very stupid things are done in the name of liberalism and conservatism, but that doesn't mean al…	/r/MensRights	05/01/14 12:24 AM
0	Norway, which is considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, is finally beginning to realize that the "glass seiling" might just be a myth and that women choose differently than me So all feminists are the gender equivalent of KKK members in your mind?	/r/MensRights	05/01/14 12:08 AM
1	Norway, which is considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, is finally beginning to realize that the "glass seiling" might just be a myth and that women choose differently than me It might be inaccurate or idiotic for them to identify solely as feminists, which is why they identify as MRAs too. It just doesn't make sense to assume entire groups of people are evil. It might be appealing to lump all feminists into a neat little labelled box, but doing so doesn't even help this movement, it only feeds some base tribal desire to identify the enemy and close ranks. Why would you want to alienate those who might actually agree with you?	/r/MensRights	04/01/14 11:46 PM
1	Norway, which is considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, is finally beginning to realize that the "glass seiling" might just be a myth and that women choose differently than me Perhaps they manage it by disagreeing with some feminist initiatives while supporting others. Would you unquestioningly support anything done under the banner of Men's Rights? No? Me neither. Feminists are the same way.	/r/MensRights	04/01/14 11:25 PM
7	Norway, which is considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, is finally beginning to realize that the "glass seiling" might just be a myth and that women choose differently than me Equality of opportunity is what I meant by "equality". Obviously men run faster than women, women give birth. Reasonable people don't argue these things. I agree, though, the trend towards equality of outcomes is truly fucked up.	/r/MensRights	04/01/14 10:40 PM

The comment lacks substance and seems only to be a vehicle for pointing out this divisive fact. "Hey check out this fact I know! You won't like it, but it's still a fact!". Alright.. great.	/r/MensRights	04/01/14 10:14 PM
-2	Norway, which is considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, is finally beginning to realize that the "glass seiling" might just be a myth and that women choose differently than me You really don't believe there are any feminists who believe in equality? This is the kind of blindness and division that gender politics breeds. What an absurd statement. There are all sorts of people who identify as feminist. Many of those people are a part of this movement as well.	/r/MensRights	04/01/14 09:59 PM
1	Meet the seemingly unfirable female firefighter I was just trying to explain why white women are considered a minority without injecting my own opinion. However, I do believe women are disadvantaged in some areas, just like men are. The degree to which men and women are disadvantaged varies quite a bit between different countries or societies, though.	/r/MensRights	11/11/13 03:44 PM
3	Meet the seemingly unfirable female firefighter Within sociology a minority is any group which is disadvantaged. It doesn't have to do with race, necessarily, nor does it have to do with numbers. This is the basis on which all women qualify as a "minority", although the phrase "women and minorities" may be more common in everyday speech.	/r/MensRights	11/11/13 03:59 AM
6	Guys this just happened.. First time I've ever encountered anything like this. Are people really this ignorant? What do I do?? Just because someone writes a book or directs a show doesn't mean they are the ultimate authority on moral questions which that work raises. That is an incredibly silly notion. Vince Gilligan can have his own opinions about how people react to the characters and where their flaws lay, while viewers have their own. Neither is more valid than the other.	/r/MensRights	06/10/13 12:29 PM
17	Husband to pay 60% of salary as maintenance Its not just one big privilege point contest though. He never said women have it good in India, and forcing this man to pay 60% of his salary has nothing to do with the rape problem there.	/r/MensRights	07/04/13 06:06 PM
0	girlwriteswhat comments on her experiences with male feminists. Might I trouble you with a request for a brief summary of these events? I don't follow the movement all that closely but your comment and the one you replied to sparked my curiosity. I tried googling for more info but could only find very biased accounts of what happened.	/r/MensRights	10/03/13 08:16 PM
2	The Problem of Males on the Feminized Campus I don't understand the significance, so perhaps you can enlighten me?	/r/MensRights	01/03/13 04:45 PM
6	"When a woman has sex with someone other than her husband and he doesn't object, anthropologists have traditionally called it wife loaning. When a man does it, they call it male privilege." However, we shouldn't try to emulate the behaviors which we find fault with in others.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 06:47 AM
1	Double Standard - female teacher gets early release from jail just after 13 months, sentenced to 4 years after been found guilty of 16 felony counts of sexual battery and three misdemeanor counts of providing alcohol to minors. I think it is safe to say that anytime men and women are being obviously held to different standards by our judicial system, it is an MR issue. However, I do agree that real discussion is far more constructive than raging.	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 08:07 PM
2	Any "Real men don't" statement is an example of the "No true scotsman" informal logical falicy. The problem I have with the phrase is that it serves to enforce gender roles. If I lack a certain characteristic then I deemed to be a fake man? Fuck that. People are all different, and the world is a more interesting place for that fact.	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 08:00 PM
3	The UK government pays women up to £11k to accuse people of rape (www.rapecrisis.org.uk) I understand where you're coming from, but he never called it a Muslim problem. He just pointed out that they make up a larger portion of rape cases, just like you made a similar statement about blacks in America. I didn't read it as racist or xenophobic, just factual (assuming his claims are accurate, I haven't checked).	/r/MensRights	21/10/12 12:41 AM
2	The UK government pays women up to £11k to accuse people of rape (www.rapecrisis.org.uk) Can you refute his claims?	/r/MensRights	20/10/12 10:28 PM
1	Women rights groups oppose making rape gender-neutral. I've been subscribed to this sub for a long time. I wish to one day be able to peruse the comments without coming across an honest question that is downvoted for no other reason than the presumption of disagreement which is apparently based solely on the fact that said question was asked.	/r/MensRights	07/09/12 11:50 AM
2	Crazy Landlord Assaults Man, Realizes It Was On Camera Then Acts Like He Raped Her Edit trolls are funny. I don't recall exactly what it said last night, but it was completely non-misogynistic.	/r/MensRights	04/09/12 12:14 PM
3	I know a woman who is trying to do the same exact thing. Is it actually cheap?	/r/MensRights	30/08/12 02:18 AM
3	Quick question, my sister is a feminist, and when I accused a female teacher of playing favorites with girls and called that teacher sexist, she says that it isn't sexist because she's a women. Many feminists do believe this. They define sexism as prejudice + power, and therefore see it as an impossibility for women to be sexist.	/r/MensRights	30/08/12 02:17 AM
0	The Male Issues Appropriator and Masculist/feminist Ozy, From NSWATM and The GOOD Men Proj, says:"If your partner gets pregnant, it’s up to her whether to have an abortion, GIVE THE CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION, or raise the kid. Her body, her rules." [Emphasis added] It is a true admission, but not one often admitted to by feminists. That explains the first couple sentences from the OP. I can't speak to the rest of it though. Perhaps he wished for a more comprehensive list which included men explicitly?	/r/MensRights	31/07/12 11:40 PM

Her body, her rules." [Emphasis added] I don't think he was taking issue with the overall message of what was quoted. He took issue with the admission that feminism is only about furthering the rights of women to the exclusion of everyone else. Particularly the rights of privileged women.	/r/MensRights	31/07/12 11:11 PM
1	Would they laugh if it was a woman getting her genitals mutilated by a gang of men? Sadly, this story is not all that uncommon in China, and especially in Nanjing. I once came across a wikipedia list of documented cases of sexual assault in which the penis was removed and it really seems to be an epidemic there. All the worse, these women are given very lenient sentences due to the "but he was cheating!" argument. Sometimes they receive no punishment at all.	/r/MensRights	30/07/12 05:41 AM

1	If a female can terminate her maternity at any time during pregnancy, shouldn't a male be able to resign his rights to paternity at any time during pregnancy as well? I don't think that's in implication anyone is really making. When analyzing the gender differences of this issue the discussion may sound cold, but its intentionally being stripped down to issues of monetary obligation because what we're getting at is the difference between what women can do and what men can do and the financial differences.	/r/MensRights	16/07/12 08:05 PM
2	Motherhood, Not Discrimination, May Account for the Gender Gap in Tenure-Track Science Jobs I saw it as replacing discrimination with what amounts to the choice of these women. If they choose to be saddled with most of the childcare work when they decide to have children, that is between them and their husbands.	/r/MensRights	12/07/12 12:42 AM
2	She cried rape, he went to prison for 6 years. She met up with him years later and admitted to him that she had lied, but said she wasn't willing to admit it to prosecutors because she had been awarded $1,500,000.00 I agree with your general assertion, however, if your family was murdered in front of you while all of you were at a facility where there is a reasonable expectation of "provided safety," then you might also have a civil case against the operators of said facility. It is also unclear what exactly made her civil claim reasonable in the eyes of the system. Perhaps it was the example I gave, or perhaps the school refused to investigate. We don't know enough, unless I missed something.	/r/MensRights	26/05/12 12:22 PM
7	I no longer take the SPLC seriously. You shouldn't either. I identify as "leftist" and was initially going to request that your elaborate on your statement. Then I realized that this was simply a knee-jerk reaction on my part. I know why you said it and there is some grain of truth there. The furthering of "women and minorities" by the left is not, by itself, an ignoble goal. In fact, I roundly support the concept. However, it can't be denied that there is a dark side to this agenda which manifests in the form of what is actually sexism and racism hidde…	/r/MensRights	10/03/12 04:56 AM
1	Bitch. (x-post from r/Funny) I don't call people niggers, though. However, if I did go around calling strangers nigger then it would be understandably offensive and racist. But if I was merely telling a story in which someone else used the word, and therefore uttered the word myself, then that would not be racist. Context and intent. Is it racist when black people use the word amongst themselves? Most would say no. The world isn't as black and white as you seem to wish it to be. I know its simpler when you don't actually ha…	/r/MensRights	27/01/12 05:49 PM
2	Bitch. (x-post from r/Funny) In order to determine if there is sexism present in cases where such words are used you need to try to gauge intent and take context into account. When none is detected outside of the use of such a word then I would tend to give the person the benefit of the doubt. I have no reason to believe they are sexist by default and without them proving to me that they are. People who get offended or who brand words as sexist/racist/etc in any and all instances of their use are preoccupied with political …	/r/MensRights	27/01/12 04:27 PM

2	No men allowed. Yeah, Wikipedia has an article about most things. Ask yourself why such a sign is deemed necessary to begin with. Scare tactics and media frenzy have made adult/child interactions so scrutinized that it is sickening. But the results of this have mainly only affected men in unfair ways. Trying taking your son or nephew to a park as a man and you will quickly realize the other people there are trying to convey their assumption of pedophiliac nature through dirty looks. I don't care so much about t…	/r/MensRights	02/06/11 04:50 PM
4	No men allowed. Except no unaccompanied woman would be seen as a threat, let alone reported. Women are innocent creatures. Men are vile, untrustworthy, and deviant. Did you not know this? This sign is the equivalent of a "colored only" segregation sign, but with a PC facade that makes it acceptable. The sign says one thing but society knows what it really means, even if they don't conciously process the discriminatory reprecussions or their own misandrist assumptions.	/r/MensRights	02/06/11 04:00 PM

He is acting like a child there, but he didn't request for anyone here to downvote anything over there. It was just a simple link. I won't defend that comment of his, but your original comment came off like an accusation aimed at all of r/MR.	/r/MensRights	31/12/10 07:35 PM
7	Man asks for love. The answer is: "man up". Downvote brigade? Posting a link to a different subreddit wherein a topic is being discussed which is relevant to this subreddit is not, by itself, calling for any sort of action. It is simply starting a discussion about said topic here, while having the benefit of access to the linked submission's comments as evidence/topics/etc. If downvotes result, well then you're getting a wider pool of opinions. Deal with it.	/r/MensRights	31/12/10 07:00 PM
