| 3 | Sexual Assault of Men Played for Laughs - Part 2 Female PerpetratorsThis came up in the first NSIVS survey/report NISVS 2010. And the result was with some small variation replicated in later iterations of the same survery like NISVS 2011/2012, NISVS 2016. For the NISVS 2023/2024 it reports that the sample size was too small to provide reliable statistical results for many forms of male victimization, such as MTP in the last 12 months. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/05/26 10:10 AM |
| 4 | Sexual Assault of Men Played for Laughs - Part 2 Female PerpetratorsI believe it is from this: https://newcomb.tulane.edu/content/metoo-research Here is a direct link to the #MEETOO 2024 Report: https://newcomb.tulane.edu/sites/default/files/MeToo%202024%20Report%20_1_0.pdf Which has this quote on page 22: Among those reporting sexual harassment or assault in the past 12 months (n=1432), 87% of women and 89% of men did not talk to anyone about the experience.

At least that’s what they told me they were going to do after I a decade ago pointed out to them that their questionnaire for CSEW did not have any questions capturing «being made to penetrate» despite that crime having its own paragraph/section in the Sexual Offences Act. https://tamenwrote.wordpress.com/2015/09/10/crime-survey-of-england-and-wales-made-to-penetrate-questions-confirmed/ However, I don’t think they report the findings on that particular offence i… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/02/26 11:12 AM |
| 12 | I realize how most dating advice for men you get from people is unhelpful, sexist, and biased, and why I think that's the case.Instead of flirting with men and trying to date them, many of them get touchy with their male friends. But for this to work, the men need to understand the boundary that it's still just a friendship, without taking it as being friendzoned or led on. So no need for the women to get some kind of consent/gauge the boundaries of the friendship themselves before they get "touchy"? I wonder because your comment only talks about the men needing to understand the boundary that it's still just a friendsh… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/11/25 03:51 PM |

A governmental commission in Norway tasked with looking at boys lagging behind academically pointed to boys maturing later in their report published in 2019.

| 11 | Time For Left To ADMIT Boys, Men Are In CRISISYeah, there is something off to me about the notion that men need a script on how to live their lives. I am not sure one set of handcuffs are that much better than another one. What men need is the freedom to not be constrained by a "script" in our lives. The problem with the "old" script of becoming a breadwinner, and look after one's family is not the script itself, but rather that society still expects it and tries to enforce it.

| 25 | Time For Left To ADMIT Boys, Men Are In CRISISMy impression is that when the discourse is around why women do no enter or quit STEM in education the predominating reasons being discussed are systemic issues and sexism while biological determinism as an explanation is at best frowned upon.

For instance accidents (unintentional injury), cancer and many heart diseases are all excluded from the 2020 study (using 2018-19 data) as they are not directly related to pregnancy.

| 1 | TIL withholding sex and affection is considered "Sexual violence" according to the university of michigan.Perhaps it's just me, but I interpreted the "telling the partner about his affairs" as the man telling his partner about his sexual affairs rather than a man telling his partner about his (for instance) financial affairs. The reason why I interpreted it as this is that "to have sex with other people" (aka cheating) is defined as sexual violence. Hence telling your partner that you cheated on them being defined as psychological abuse would be consistent. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/14 06:45 PM |

If there is a 100% overlap (every man who reported being raped also reported being made to penetrate) then 4.8% are victims. The "true" number is somewhere in between.

Your intuition that it would be much closer to 50/50 is in fact pretty accurate when we look at the reported victimizations happening in the last 12 months - which was 1.1% of men and 1.1% of women - or 50/50 as you put it. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/13 07:24 PM |

Ted Nugent thinks men going to war is cool -- unless the man is Ted Nugent, then he literally shits himself.I don't think you can claim that Nugent has the courage to be honest about it. He told in an interview back in 1977 of the extreme lengths he went to to avoid being drafted. He now claims that that interview was a joke and a lie. Regardless of whether the '77 interview or the current backpedalling is true one of them clearly isn't.
