1	Cool social experiment on Tinder [x-post "All men are pigs who care only about looks!"] I don't think it's a men's rights issue. I agree. It didn't shed any light on issues that weren't already consolidated in the minds of whoever would believe it on the basis of seeing this either, confirmation bias and all that. However, lots of gender and social issues boil down to people's own emotions and insecurities, so this isn't too different from a study on 'feelings of sexism in the workplace/school/clubs' etc.	/r/MensRights	04/03/17 11:58 AM
11	By every single metric, men have it worse than women There is substantial societal pressure in many cultures, including wesetern cultures for women to reproduce. Nobody forces men to work dangerous jobs or work extra hours in the office (for the most part), but the same societal pressures produce this effect.	/r/MensRights	18/01/17 03:33 PM
1	Men consistently outperform women in Oxford exams. Solution: ban exams Very interesting article, very misleading title. OP clearly only read the first sentence.	/r/MensRights	23/09/15 09:09 PM
1	Sexism in a nutshell [3] No problem. I got where you were coming from.	/r/MensRights	02/09/15 10:38 PM
1	Sexism in a nutshell [3] I did concede that both are unrealistic and perpetuate negative body image, I agree with you on that. But I disagree that the male is showcasing anything negative, particularly in a game where primal brutality is the point the game and source of the entertainment. As for both of them being scantily clad, there is the societal acceptance of the male nipple, but not the female, you have probably noticed these 'free the nipple' campaigns around that explain this. I'm not sure I follow the full bear…	/r/MensRights	02/09/15 12:42 PM
1	Sexism in a nutshell [3] I do too, and I've never felt that sort of dysmorphia either, but it is prevalent.	/r/MensRights	02/09/15 11:51 AM
1	Sexism in a nutshell [3] No, it does. If you're judging the societal effect of the empirical amount of clothing that each character is wearing then you have totally missed the point.	/r/MensRights	02/09/15 09:55 AM
1	Sexism in a nutshell [3] I'm comparing the image, not the physique. If the woman was muscular it would be a different story. yes, I know that genetics and performance enhancers of all sorts play a role in the Mr. Olympia physique but I'm talking about symbolism, not realistic aspirations as I explained in my above post about creating unrealistic body standards for men.	/r/MensRights	02/09/15 09:02 AM
14	Sexism in a nutshell [3] A lot of guys do. Look at the body insecurity that young men have, or just look at the supplement and fitness industry in general.	/r/MensRights	01/09/15 09:53 PM
-49	Sexism in a nutshell [3] I'm a straight, white cis-gender male who sees what's in front of him. I see sexism in this because a Mr. Olympia physique is a symbol of dedication, pride and strength, which are generally positive qualities, whereas the female character's physique is that of a hentai character. She's wearing silk robes which are cutout to reveal specific sexual parts of her body and a mask, this sort of thing is akin to fetishism and that's probably why the 'feminists' you speak of are upset.	/r/MensRights	01/09/15 05:45 PM
-12	Sexism in a nutshell [3] There are two sides to this, and whilst I agree that the male character (and most others) looks unrealistically jacked and sends negative messages to young men with unrealistic body standards, that isn't necessarily where the sexism lies, as this is applicable to both male and female characters. Where the sexism lies is the depiction of male characters as mighty and strong and female characters as being delicate and virginal. This is also seen in the special moves (e.g. fatalities in Mortal Komb…	/r/MensRights	01/09/15 05:41 PM
