1	56 percent of abusers of all kinds are women, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention I suppose what I don't get is, now that it has been established that both men and women are capable of abuse, why the numbers need to speak "against" a particular group. Isn't it more fruitful to look for the structural/environmental/psychological factors that cause abuse, so that it can be prevented, rather than just making abused kids pawns in some imaginary gender war?	/r/MensRights	11/07/11 02:12 PM
2	56 percent of abusers of all kinds are women, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention I don't mean to portray abuse as passive. It happens, it's terrible, and both women and men actively commit it. However, any statement I could make on the psychology of abuse would be pure conjecture on my part. I don't know what you're looking for me to say here...?	/r/MensRights	10/07/11 09:40 PM
–	56 percent of abusers of all kinds are women, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention All I meant is that with women being awarded custody in greater numbers, and being more likely to be employed in roles where they give care to children, of course there will be more abuse committed against children by women, since we have given women greater access to children. According to this, http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/pubs/cm09/cm09.pdf, women make up 53.8 percent of unique perpetrators of abuse against children, so I don't doubt that the 56% statistic is approximately correct.	/r/MensRights	10/07/11 08:01 PM
–	56 percent of abusers of all kinds are women, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention Uh, the OP was suggesting that the problem would be eradicated by removing women from the military. While that would certainly stop sexual violence committed by women in the context of the military, it wouldn't stop men from violating other men.	/r/MensRights	10/07/11 06:55 PM
–	56 percent of abusers of all kinds are women, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention There shouldnt be any women in the military. Problem solved. Wow. Way to erase the experiences of those who have been subjected to male-on-male sexual violence. But im interested to know what you think about this. No, you're not. You're looking for an outlet through which to spout your rhetoric.	/r/MensRights	10/07/11 06:39 PM
–	56 percent of abusers of all kinds are women, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention No, but I see where this is headed. What you're suggesting is like saying "well, most sexual assaults in the military are committed by men, so there should be no men in the military," which is completely unfair because of higher statistical percentages of men in the military overall.	/r/MensRights	10/07/11 05:38 PM
–	56 percent of abusers of all kinds are women, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention I wouldn't think so, particularly if it's not adjusted for the higher incidence of overall female interaction with children.	/r/MensRights	10/07/11 03:48 PM
3	Been busting my ass for it, so it does get kind of frustrating I assure you, the average woman that does nothing else but "not eat like a hippo every single day" is going to have a pretty brutal BF%, and will just wind up "skinny-fat."	/r/MensRights	10/07/11 03:37 AM
1	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? I hope that eventually you can work through your rage, and find some peace and clarity so you can best support your movement.	/r/MensRights	09/07/11 05:04 AM
1	11 Famous men who were abused by their spouses/partners It's quite disturbing that the author of this article has decided that domestic violence against men is hilarious.	/r/MensRights	09/07/11 04:56 AM
2	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? Legal equality. Not enforced outcomes. And yet you pretend to care about the interests of your historically disadvantaged brothers. I quote the word "enforced" grudgingly. Men haven't had THEIR turn yet. I guess you deny all historical oppression of women, and now seek vengeance instead of equality? Neat. Sorry punkin. Amazing tactics. Not everything is easily packaged for sound-byte consumption. I'd love to see what the response would be if a feminist used that logic. No sources, then? I though…	/r/MensRights	09/07/11 04:06 AM
1	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? I find the mere suggestion that I might be less 'sympathetic' a character simply because I'm a white male to be pretty damned offensive, to be frank. Uh, I didn't know you were white. How the hell could I have? I find it kind of tragic that you are following the exact same strategies that first and second wave feminists did. By fighting men, and not all forms of oppression, these feminists ended up subordinating a great number of other women. These feminists are now being taken to task by the wo…	/r/MensRights	09/07/11 02:43 AM
1	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? As much as you'd like to believe it is, feminism is not a monolith. By characterizing it as such, you're falling victim to the same logic you're critiquing. Also, I think you're taking a reductionist account of men's legal issues. You are completely ignoring many of the the issues that your brothers of colour and marginalized socio-economic status face. These are the men overrepresented in prison populations, not the men worrying about paying unfair alimony.	/r/MensRights	09/07/11 01:45 AM
1	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? I just think you're wasting your time fighting the imaginary enemy that is feminism. If feminists wield this great amount of power, then why are abortion clinics across the US losing funding, for instance? (I think all of the authors that you have cited write in support of abortion.) You're tilting against windmills here, and I think it's a shame that the well-meaning efforts of so many men are going to waste, and end up alienating potential allies.	/r/MensRights	06/07/11 04:11 PM
1	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? I have been reading the men's rights literature, but find it's characterization of feminist literature unfair and highly selective. I don't understand why the MAJORITY of the women's studies canon is being overlooked. I am very sorry about whatever happened to you to make you as angry as you are. Truly.	/r/MensRights	06/07/11 06:07 AM
1	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? Er, it would appear that the Men's Rights movement cares what feminists believe, given the volume of work online critiquing a small portion of feminist scholarship. What exactly is your fucking point when you say there exists, in a cave somewhere, a feminist who doesn't hate men? What exactly is your point, then, when you say there exists, in a cave somewhere, a feminist who hates men? I am absolutely interested in Men's Rights. I just don't understand why the interests of men and women need to …	/r/MensRights	06/07/11 05:57 AM
1	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? So...the majority of modern feminists aren't hate mongers. Bully for them, indeed! I guess you're being deliberately obtuse. Enjoy being consumed by wholly irrational hatred, if that's your modus operandi. :D	/r/MensRights	06/07/11 05:41 AM
0	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? Are you referring to the aforementioned authors? I have read the works of most of the second wavers. Feminism, by and large, has moved on from this binary thinking. (You know, the same way that most men have moved on from denying women full citizenship and personhood rights. Second wave feminism was largely a response to this - not the best response, certainly, but neither "side" has a entirely rosy history.) I've also read the works of postcolonial, postmodern, queer, and other contemporary fem…	/r/MensRights	06/07/11 05:28 AM
–	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? It has been shown over and over that Feminism is an anti-male hate movement. It's been shown over and over that some women hate men. It's also been shown over and over that some men hate women. This doesn't invalidate feminism, nor does it invalidate the need for a men's rights movement. I just don't understand why there can't be solidarity between us, since our causes are similar - the reduction of suffering.	/r/MensRights	06/07/11 02:10 AM
–	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? There are hateful feminists. That doesn't mean feminism, as a movement, is inherently hateful. I don't see how citing a few bloggers and outdated theorists depicts feminism as a whole. Give me a few examples of contemporary, peer-reviewed authors that condone violence against men of the order that you're citing here, and I would be more than happy to rethink my stance.	/r/MensRights	05/07/11 07:05 PM
–	Don't MRAs and feminists both want gender equality? Where's the big disagreement? You are aware that these feminists have been widely critiqued by other feminists, right? This is a fairly small and outdated sample. If you could please explain to me how more contemporary/popular feminist scholars, like Chandra Mohanty, Raewyn Connell, Judith Butler, or Wendy Brown are the purveyors of hate, I would welcome the critique.	/r/MensRights	05/07/11 01:38 AM
