1	Lego’s sexist construction worker mini-figures need to pipe down - Are people actively looking for offence now? Do you spend a lot of time with kids? Stickers like this are popular with toddlers. Why would adults buy this sticker set for themselves?	/r/MensRights	01/05/13 10:14 PM
1	Lego’s sexist construction worker mini-figures need to pipe down - Are people actively looking for offence now? Yes, the stickers are aimed at children. The blog post says he was buying them for his son, and the title is even, "Lego, stop teaching kids that..."	/r/MensRights	01/05/13 10:07 PM
1	Lego’s sexist construction worker mini-figures need to pipe down - Are people actively looking for offence now? I agree, but I also agree that it's in kind of bad taste for a child's toy to be promoting catcalling. Gender issues aside, it's just inappropriate.	/r/MensRights	01/05/13 09:44 PM
14	Totally worth it. WHOA HOLD ON THERE BUDDY "If 1,000,000 people join this group, there will be 1,000,000 people in it." That, my friend, is not necessarily true. If Joe is the 999,999th person to join the group, but he leaves before the one millionth person joins, 1 million people will have joined the group, but there will not be one million people in it. I realize that you didn't actually make this particular comic, but the inconsistency is still your fault.	/r/MensRights	07/04/13 06:04 AM
1	No means no. Yes may also mean no. Basically, all heterosexual sex is possible rape. This chart. It doesn't make any fucking sense. It's mind-boggling how stupid this is. Why would they italicize every other response if the background colors already differentiate them? I just don't get it.	/r/MensRights	28/03/13 08:03 AM
5	"They're determined to be victims.'' says feminist about MRAs... Oh, the irony! male disposability is too ingrained in our biology to be addressed and therefore women should be given less rights. Wait, what? I don't see how these two things are at all connected. What kinds of rights should women have less of? Also, what is MHRM? Google only says that it stands for "Master of Human Resources Management," which seems irrelevant to me.	/r/MensRights	11/03/13 03:46 AM
2	Double standard: women who speak up on their mistreatment by men are brave survivors. Men who speak up on mistreatment by women are whiners. Wow, that all really, really sucks. I can only offer my meaningless condolences that you had to go through that and my equally meaningless thanks for sharing your story with me and the rest of Reddit. I will at least give you some also meaningless internet points. Also, on an unrelated note... When I see all these programs an campaigns warning and educating young women about abusive relationships, it makes me sad because I know young men need this information just as much and they don't get it. …	/r/MensRights	01/03/13 06:44 AM
2	Double standard: women who speak up on their mistreatment by men are brave survivors. Men who speak up on mistreatment by women are whiners. Just out of random curiosity (feel free to just ignore me if you'd rather not discuss it further), what did you say to her when you pointed? What happened afterwards? Was it immediately apparent that your finger was broken? What did you do/say? Also I just realized that I asked you if it was intentional when you explicitly said it was in your post.	/r/MensRights	01/03/13 06:03 AM
1	Double standard: women who speak up on their mistreatment by men are brave survivors. Men who speak up on mistreatment by women are whiners. What did she do to your finger to break it? I'm assuming by your tone that it was intentional, yes?	/r/MensRights	01/03/13 04:19 AM
2	Harsh but true: Men who get married in this day and age deserve to get screwed over Alright, /r/MR, I see this sort of thing tossed around a lot, without a lot of good discussion surrounding it. Why should I not marry? What do you propose I do instead?	/r/MensRights	14/01/13 07:04 AM
4	I don't know why, but there is something about this gif that is male-positive on so many levels. (repost from r/funny) I considered that too, but watch it again, look more closely. The beer doesn't go anywhere near her, it's held over the man himself and, if anything, the people in front of him who cheer for him at the end. It's also held level, so it's not tipping over, and it isn't that full. She's plenty far enough away to not get anything on her, even if it does tip. I can't see any reason in that gif for her to have acted disgusted like that.	/r/MensRights	21/12/12 07:42 PM
-2	I found this letter being criticized over in r/feminism. It's good see that some people really get it. In what way is the article spot on? All she does is tout stereotypes, heavily generalize men and women and complain about women doing things that both men and women do. The entire thing is full of insulting, demeaning language aimed at women and equally ridiculous crap glorifying men.	/r/MensRights	19/12/12 07:28 AM
2	22 Stats That Prove That There Is Something Seriously Wrong With Young Men In America I don't disagree with the point you were trying to make, but I dislike the way you went about making it. The way you presented the numbers made it seem like it was a genuine statistic, not a made-up comparison.	/r/MensRights	19/12/12 12:10 AM
1	22 Stats That Prove That There Is Something Seriously Wrong With Young Men In America So you just pulled that number out of thin air? *edit: That's 12 hours a day, I'm calling bullshit.	/r/MensRights	18/12/12 11:46 PM
27	A man jailed for creating a Facebook page rating the sexual performance of women has successfully appealed against his sentence. Wasn't there an app to let women rate men in a similar way?	/r/MensRights	18/12/12 11:38 PM
3	Has everyone seen the bullshit this one girl pulls at the 29-second mark of the mistletoe prank video thats been going around? While it is important to look at extreme examples like the one you suggested, I would argue that cases like this are more important to take note of and talk about. Most people will realize that a girl beating her boyfriend is wrong. This video shows a great example of female on male violence that is socially accepted. There is only one slap, it is not the focus of the video, and it is only shown once. Many fewer people would instantly realize that that is wrong and that slapping someone is not a…	/r/MensRights	17/12/12 07:58 PM
3	Woman Cuts Husband's Genitals Off & Feeds Them To The Dogs - YouTube Just pointing it out, the person you just replied to is not the person who first posted the idea of mutilating the criminal. I also disagree with both you and hardwarequestions. There is a reason punishments today are not "an eye for an eye." Two wrongs do not make a right, all that cliche bullshit, etc. We have laws and prisons for punishing people like this. Whether or not they are effective is not the question, mutilating this person because of what they did is not an appropriate punishment i…	/r/MensRights	16/12/12 06:37 AM
9	False "sexual assault" shake-down by girls at a rock concert. 4 victims ejected, 2 accusers win (even though they didn't have tickets AND were filming against the rules!) The tale you're referring to, at least as I heard it a week or two back during finals week, was of four friends who went out partying before a test. The day of the test, they barely made it in time, but they decided to skip the test, so they could get time to study. They told the teacher a flat tire kept them from getting there to take the test. The teacher allows them to come take the test at a later occasion. When the students show up, the only question on the exam is: Which tire was flat? Det…	/r/MensRights	16/12/12 06:26 AM
2	Wow, calm down! I agree, the individual in this post was, based on what we know, pretty disagreeable. I tend to dislike these sorts of posts, though, because, as was made clear by the assumptions people made in the comments, there is an implication that this is the norm, that this is not an extreme situation. They tend to promote an "us vs them" mentality that is very much detrimental to our cause. I mean you no ill will for posting this, it's just a mob mentality that tends to arise in these situations.	/r/MensRights	15/12/12 10:50 PM
1	Wow, calm down! That's simply not true. We have no idea what influenced this person to say that. It could have been feminism, it could have been because a female friend was in an abusive relationship with a man. This is from Facebook. Angry venting is extremely common, and based on the antagonistic reply they gave to being challenged, I'd guess that this wasn't motivated only by political ideas.	/r/MensRights	15/12/12 06:16 PM
7	Nancy Grace tells it like it is: Female teachers having sex with their underage male students are rapists. Is there any chance somebody can find a source on this?	/r/MensRights	15/12/12 04:45 AM
1	Wow, calm down! There is no mention of feminism in the post. Furthermore, all people are susceptible to meet a dissenting, logical opinion with negative emotions. That quality is not unique to or characteristic of the feminist movement.	/r/MensRights	14/12/12 08:59 PM
8	Wow, calm down! Where did we get the idea that this person is a "feminist supporter?" Nothing about their post serves to indicate that.	/r/MensRights	14/12/12 08:48 PM
4	Jezebel: Fuck You Men's Rights Activists. I love this bit: So fuck you, MRAs... because you also hate feminists and want a fucking cookie for not killing anyone. I also liked the part where... Fuck you for blaming women, feminists, the legal system... for your own inability to relate to other human beings in appropriate ways. And I liked it when she said: ...we only hate men who proudly stand up for the rights of abusers, rapists, and deadbeat dads. Criminals still do have rights. Just throwing it out there. And then, when she said: Fuc…	/r/MensRights	14/12/12 06:00 AM
2	So my female friend just blew my mind... Just because you haven't experienced it or don't experience it regularly doesn't mean it doesn't happen. And you have seen it. There are plenty of women on this subreddit advocating men's rights, GWW for example.	/r/MensRights	13/12/12 09:04 PM
1	So we were learning about domestic abuse... Notice where the blame is centered... That is very poor word choice for something that should be spread to all people. It's also very poor word choice if you want most men to agree with them instead of acting defensive or feeling insulted. All of that aside, I don't believe that "male privilege," as they use the term, or as the words themselves mean, exists. They explained it to me, men don't face certain discrimination that women face, sure, but that doesn't mean that all women are oppressed and that all men are not. What's more, I…	/r/MensRights	13/12/12 08:25 PM
4	So we were learning about domestic abuse... Notice where the blame is centered... That's exactly the point that clone1205 was making. Lack of negative treatment is not the same thing as preferential treatment.	/r/MensRights	13/12/12 06:36 AM
6	So we were learning about domestic abuse... Notice where the blame is centered... I had a discussion about male privilege on /r/askfeminists a little while back, and basically the only example they could give me for privileges men receive is a lack of discrimination that women sometimes face.	/r/MensRights	13/12/12 06:06 AM
4	University of Toronto Provost: "the disruption of this event by protesters was a threat to free speech" They are literally criminals getting away with their misdeeds. I'm trying to understand this situation more fully. I'm not trying to imply that I disagree by asking this, but what exactly are they guilty of? What crime would it be? And what punishment would they face if they were to be prosecuted?	/r/MensRights	13/12/12 05:54 AM
1	13-year-old boy subjected to six months of horror after being falsely accused of rape The problem is that the huge amount of damage caused by just the accusation is because of an imbalance in the system. Complete destruction of character, friendships, job prospects, etc. is not an intended effect of the punishment inflicted by the court, so the false accuser should not be punished for it. Think about it this way: we balance the punishment for false rape accusations to be sufficient based on the current harshness of the punishment of the accused, which is then still in place and m…	/r/MensRights	11/12/12 06:32 PM
3	13-year-old boy subjected to six months of horror after being falsely accused of rape That's hyperbole. Also, as the kid was only 13, he would not have gone to prison.	/r/MensRights	10/12/12 10:38 PM
2	13-year-old boy subjected to six months of horror after being falsely accused of rape Why should they not be held accountable for what they did? They should. False accusations are, as they should be, illegal. Those who falsely accuse others of crimes should absolutely be prosecuted and punished. That is saying that falsely accusing somebody of stalking and falsely accusing somebody of murder should result in the same punishment. That's not what I'm saying at all. Quite frankly, I'm not sure what gave you that impression. I'm not familiar with perjury laws, but I'm inclined to bel…	/r/MensRights	10/12/12 10:35 PM
2	13-year-old boy subjected to six months of horror after being falsely accused of rape The fact that somebody can lose a decade of their life to a false accusation is a problem that needs to be fixed separately from false accusations themselves. The idea of "guilty until proven innocent" needs to change. Those accused of a crime (in this case, rape) need to be given a fair trial and due process. However, those guilty of false accusations are not also guilty of the disparities in the court system, nor should they be made to pay for them.	/r/MensRights	10/12/12 07:55 PM
22	Man arrested for filming woman in public. This gives us next to no information. Does anyone have any more informative sources?	/r/MensRights	09/12/12 07:05 AM
2	Woman stabs university student in the back during consensual sexual encounter, but he's arrested after she falsely accuses him of rape it's perfectly valid to point out that the circumstances they find themselves in are a direct result of their actions. I disagree. There are certain actions you can take to prevent yourself from becoming victim, but there really isn't a "seatbelt" you can wear to keep yourself from becoming the victim of something like a rape. In a lot of those scenarios, it's not wear a seatbelt vs not wearing a seatbelt, it's driving vs not driving at all. And even if there was some kind of "seatbelt" that wou…	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 07:10 PM
-1	Feminist logic in regards to MRA's The MRM is not against women at all. The focus is not on fighting privilege that women may or may not experience, but upon ensuring that the rights of men are respected and protected. Obviously no one of us can speak for all members, but the movement in general is not anti-woman at all. The FAQ details this as well. 5. Is the MRM anti-woman? Very much no. Being anti-feminist does not mean being anti-woman, and many within the MRM are not even anti-feminist. In fact, many prominent members of bot…	/r/MensRights	01/12/12 05:13 AM
2	School being sexist or just me being overly sensitive, what are my options? I would advise you to talk to somebody about it. Go to the principal, a teacher you trust, or your parents If none of them take action, or are unable to reach a satisfactory resolution to the situation, escalate the issue to news outlets, local government officials, school superintendents, whoever. Tell them what you learned in the sex ed class, why you think it is unfair, and what you think should be done differently. I would also highly advise you to organize your thoughts and possibly make a …	/r/MensRights	28/11/12 10:41 PM
18	/b/ on feminism [Ex-post from /r/4chan] My only problem with this post would be that it might give a neutral observer, visiting this sub for the first time the wrong idea. We should keep this sub focused on promoting men's rights and not bashing feminism. Maybe we should start a MRM humor sub, for stuff like this.	/r/MensRights	27/11/12 10:19 PM
4	Just a frustratingly true little chart (x-post from r/funny) A lot of it is also straight up wrong. Number 5 for example. Women are expected to be boring? What the fuck?	/r/MensRights	27/11/12 04:30 AM
39	As a young adult with open eyes from experience, I am upset by what I've seen in USA public education system. That's also kind of not how statistics work. 2% of abused people being male=/=2% of all men having been abused.	/r/MensRights	20/11/12 03:49 PM
2	Anti-rape poster I agree, but these campaigns are always gendered. It's always the woman who is in danger, and the men who are obligated to look after her from other threatening rapist-men.	/r/MensRights	19/11/12 06:32 PM
5	It may be Urban Dictionary, but are you fucking serious? Just think of how stupid the average person is. Half of the population is even stupider.	/r/MensRights	19/11/12 09:16 AM
2	It's misinformation like this that gives us a bad name. Whatever you do, I urge you to keep your cool. They probably won't listen to you, and they'll probably make excuses for why you're wrong and they're right and they probably won't make sense. Dispute them logically, politely, and happily. If you get mad at them, it will fuel the fire for every single anti-men's rights advocate present, it will alienate any neutral observers present, and you can bet the story will spread far and wide.	/r/MensRights	19/11/12 09:12 AM
7	This is feminist "equality" on display. I need the mens rights movement because I was taught by society and its media to hate men and despise masculinity. When puberty hit me, I was so disgusted by what I would become that I suppressed my sexuality and gender identity, and was suicidal partly due to my self-loathing. God damn, that one hit close to home for me.	/r/MensRights	18/11/12 06:28 AM
27	Someone asked Yahoo! Answers "Why does no one stand up to feminist bullying?" in reaction to yesterday's UofT Warren Farrell protest, and it gets deleted. How do we know that it was removed by Yahoo staff? What if the asker deleted it? Would it say something different on the page? I'm not familiar with Yahoo Answers, so I'm genuinely not sure.	/r/MensRights	18/11/12 06:23 AM

5	Overbearing girlfriend uses gifts as an excuse to oppress a redditor [X-Post from /r/blackops2] Why? What's wrong with that? She isn't demanding that he never leave her, or being overly possessive. Maybe she's completely joking, maybe she wants a bit of reassurance. Regardless, I honestly don't see what's so bad about this. None of us know what their relationship is like, but we have no reason to assume she's an overly possessive or "crazy" girlfriend. To me, it seems more like she feels she's being neglected in the relationship and wants him to do more things for her (eg. buying flowers) …	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 06:09 PM
-2	Bus driver involved in incident with woman has been fired No she stood her ground. She didn't backoff which one could say she is still posing a threat to the bus driver. She did back off, though. She was standing back, away from him, with her hands by her side, and there was no evidence that she would continue assaulting him. She did not continue attacking him until well after he hit her and tried to throw her off the bus. Yes because choking the driver while the bus is in motion in no way presents a danger to anyone. What if she choked him out to the …	/r/MensRights	07/11/12 09:11 PM
12	‘Hypervigilant’ feminists oppose university men’s centre \| Vancouver Sun I wish you had posted a link to this instead. That link actually talks about the issue. Considering that the articles are all from last May, I dug around a little bit, to see what came of this. It seems like the men's centre at SFU is still in the works. On SFU's website, there is a page for one Jeff Mccann (Jeff was mentioned in the article I posted), where it says that he worked on projects including the men's centre and will continue to work on them, which implies that it still has a chance.	/r/MensRights	07/11/12 07:13 AM
1	Bus driver involved in incident with woman has been fired She was not assaulting him in any way when he hit her. She did something to him while he was driving/pulling over, and then she backed off and was standing still, well away from him, when he got up and punched her. There was nothing requiring him to hit her at that point. The situation was not escalating further, he had plenty of help to remove her from the bus if need be, and his life and the lives of the passengers were not in danger. She only continued attacking him (whether or not she was at…	/r/MensRights	07/11/12 06:22 AM
