| 1 | Good examples of women lying about rape to gain something from itpersonal toll and stress it takes to accuse someone and go through the whole legal process with friends and family finding out etc This is really only true for someone who has actually been psychologically affected by rape. If someone is acting, you can't honestly say that the stress is the same. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 31/07/19 09:59 PM |
| 1 | Did Andrew Yangs latest circumcision controversy help the agenda of protecting boys from mutilation, or did his waffling actually help the boy mutilators’ agenda?If this is referring to his talk with Ben Shapiro, he clarified that he never really intended to debate about it. Generally, he's against it but doesn't want to make it illegal, and that was it, they talked for like 2 mins about it. | /r/MensRights | 10/04/19 04:09 PM |
| 0 | Child support of $161K is no longer supporting just the child. We need limits for what the government can force a man to pay in child support.No, the support the earner gives to the non-earner is a fair exchange for the utility from a stay-at-home partner. The non-earner definitely don't owe the earner anything like that. | /r/MensRights | 07/03/19 05:04 PM |
| 0 | Child support of $161K is no longer supporting just the child. We need limits for what the government can force a man to pay in child support.Yeah, but it’s kind of true. If they hadn’t gotten married, they would actually have to support themself. By staying at home and bearing / raising children and keeping the household, they are directly benefiting the other party at the expense of their own potential. That has a real cost. It’s unreasonable that the wage earner could simply through the non-earner on the street with no resources. Alimony in its concept is perfectly acceptable as long as its equally supplied and is only for actual n… | /r/MensRights | 07/03/19 02:05 PM |
| 1 | Women who suffer a cardiac arrest are less likely to receive life-saving CPR from bystanders 'out of fears they'll be accused of sexual assault'. I do not think anyone can be surprised by this.Which I've never understood anyway. Sure, you have a moral obligation to help other people, but a legal one is absurd. If someone wants to be a cruel person and just walk away, they should be allowed to do that. They have caused no harm and they are not legally obligated to do a single thing. | /r/MensRights | 06/11/18 03:56 PM |
| 1 | Women who suffer a cardiac arrest are less likely to receive life-saving CPR from bystanders 'out of fears they'll be accused of sexual assault'. I do not think anyone can be surprised by this.It's not even that they work best... bras have to be removed because they might have metal in them when could conduct electricity and cause very bad things. Another good reason to not have nipple piercings (goes for both genders). You can actually get an arc between the piercings and then you're in trouble. | /r/MensRights | 06/11/18 03:53 PM |
| 1 | Q: Would you wear a body cam to protect yourself against false accusations, if it was legal and OK?Even in 2 party consent, you can still wear one in public spaces with no issue. The consent laws only apply in situations where the other parties would have a "reasonable expectation of privacy". So if you're at the mall, or a park, a restaurant, or walking around your college campus, no issues. You would only run into consent issues when you enter someone's home or other locations, but I'm much more sketchy on those details. | /r/MensRights | 03/10/18 03:16 PM |
| 1 | Police state feminism is getting more brazen by the day. Slate Magazine basically says: "Men are afraid of unsupported allegations ruining their lives. Good! That's the whole idea." [There was a similar article on the front page of Huffpo a few minutes ago, but now it seems to be gone]The author references a tweet that says "Even if true, teenagers!". I can't verify because the link is dead through archive. But this is actually a really bad sentiment. The idea that just because they were teenagers that it's no big deal is not a good philosophy to have. However to say that this is a common or even popular argument I think is quite incorrect. I've never met a single person who thinks like this. It seems like the only ones who do are senators and other members of public office. … | /r/MensRights | 20/09/18 04:25 PM |

[Just kidding, they’re talking about Donald Trump’s penis].I'm surprised the real outrage isn't being discussed here. The article says that she ruined Mario Kart, but then shows a screenshot of Captain Toad, which is not the Toad featured in Mario Kart! | /r/MensRights | 20/09/18 04:07 PM |

| 2 | Criminal Justice Software blatantly discriminates based on gender.I think we can agree that letting computers issue sentences is a bad idea unless it issues the same sentence for every crime regardless of the offender, and at that point it's just a convenience. However this same type of software also discriminates against black men, giving them longer sentences and denying probation for the exact same reasons. The reason I bring this up is because there is a statistical factor here. We know that humans given men (and more so black men) longer sentences even wh… | /r/MensRights | 14/08/18 05:21 PM |

Google is vehemently anti-male, and anti anything that could remotely be construed as conservative. (Despite the fact that MRAs are vastly varied in political opinion, the whole group is painted as conservative as if that's some reason to discount them). If the firing of James Damore didn't show us that, then nothing will. | /r/MensRights | 26/07/18 03:08 PM |
| 7 | Even when I file for financial aid.Yes, women wanted the right to join the military, so we gave it to them. However we don't draft them. Women have the freedom to do what they like. If they want to join the military, they are allowed with a lower standard of entry, regardless of the consequences. However, women are not disposable like men are. So they only go to the military if they want to. Since men are disposable, nobody really cares whether or not they want to join. | /r/MensRights | 03/07/18 02:48 PM |

Money. Freedom. You name it. Feminists act like women have always been oppressed, but that's obviously false to anyone with eyes. Women have always been given the best that men could obtain, without any of the responsibilities that go with it. There used to be some natural order to this. Men sacrificed everything to protect the family, but the… | /r/MensRights | 03/07/18 02:28 PM |
| 2 | What I feel is the most frustrating part of the Roe v. Wade debate from a MRA perspectiveNo, not allowing bank robberies is not compelled poverty. Just because you make murder illegal, you’re not forcing anyone to do anything. You’re only saying what they can’t do. If you don’t want to give birth, don’t get pregnant. And yeah, you have the right to make a call about what happens to your body. Not to other people’s bodies though. And the argument here is totally disingenuous. All but the most extreme will be in favor of abortion in cases of rape or for the life of the mother. Very fe… | /r/MensRights | 29/06/18 01:54 AM |

The business is that it's murder. Just because I don't live in Chicago doesn't mean that I won't advocate for murder to remain illegal there. And I agree that if a man is knowingly and deliberately trapped by a woman and he can prove that then he should be able to terminate all obligations to the child should the woman bear the child. This is kind of hypocritical. If a woman can walk away no questions asked, why can't … | /r/MensRights | 28/06/18 03:22 PM |
| 1 | What I feel is the most frustrating part of the Roe v. Wade debate from a MRA perspectiveAbortion is a terrible thing. Both sides agree that in a perfect world, there would be no abortion. I'm not really sure that's true. If you don't actually believe that a baby is human being, then it's the same as any other surgery. And I've met a lot of people who legitimately don't consider it human. Another thing that I don't like about the debate is the "compelled to give birth" phrase. If abortion was banned, that is not "compelling" anyone to give birth. Birth is a natural process that happ… | /r/MensRights | 28/06/18 03:19 PM |

There's nothing wrong with admitting that both men and women have unreasonably high expectations for each other. That's life.

They have all the problems the US has, but no free speech protections, "hate crime" laws that are absurd, and obscene internet regulation.

It is a complete leach upon the parents, otherwise it will die. It will wake the parents up in the middle of the night, affecting their health and stress levels. It may even get them sick because it has a lesser immune system. It may cause them to miss work, or school, or miss out on many other life experiences.

| 2 | Projection or just stupidity?Men grow up in a world where men are always more important than everyone else. Take a second to think about what this means, and you see that the argument is absurd. First of all, who is "everyone else"? There's only two genders. So if I'm in my nursery group with approximately even gender split, "everyone" is actually only half the room. The whole concept makes no sense.

It's either bad to separate children from their parents or it's not. If it was bad, (and it is, objectively, by the science) then we wouldn't have no fault divorce. People really only care about "the children" when it supports their political position. This entire issue is a perfect case study for how the American public has no idea how our government is supposed to work. The legislative branch makes the law, the executive branch enforces it.

Sexism: Discrimination based on gender Discrimination: a distinction; discernment, the act of discriminating, discerning, distinguishing, noting or perceiving differences between things. So anything or anyone that notes a difference between genders is sexist. The only way to not be sexist is to claim that men and women are completely interchangeable.

A good professor can produce assignments such that the average student will earn an average grade. Obviously new professors may deserve some lenience, maybe they accidentally made some things too hard and need to curve up, fine. But this should be the exception, not the norm. I also dislike profs who intentionally design a test so that the average will be around 40% and then just curve like crazy.

| 7 | Does the “wage gap” or poverty statistics take child support or alimony into account?No, it doesn't. The numbers all come from broad surveys of income at full time positions (>35 hours / week). If you are then losing (or gaining) money from court ordered payments, that's not even asked for. If I remember, I'll do some research later on the poverty one. I'm pretty sure poverty is also strictly defined as income, ignoring, child support, alimony, and other government benefits like food stamps or housing. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/18 06:07 PM |

| 1 | The cost of childbirth in the United States is high in large part because of parents suing their doctors. Instead of taking responsibility, this is used to argue that the cost should be subsidized.Similar note, feminists often complain about the relatively high rate of maternal death in child birth. There are two main problems with this. 1) The studies count the death of mothers up to a year after birth for any health reason, even if it wasn't pregnancy related 2) America is the most obese country in the world, which often leads to birth complications. So as usual, there are plenty of factors other than "sexism" that explain why things look not so great at first glance. | /r/MensRights | 18/01/18 10:00 PM |

While it is helpful to point out the systemic barriers to addressing the problem, it is important to not lose sight of a simple fact : Rape is caused not by cultural factors but by the conscious decisions, of a small percentage of the community, to commit a violent crime.

If a man was near a girls locker room, I would at least understand the suspicion (while still seeing the sexism that there would be no suspicion for a women near boys), but soccer doesn't make any sense to me. | /r/MensRights | 19/08/15 07:20 PM |

It's telling that in the one state where you can still file under fault grounds, only 6% of divorces go there. To me, that suggests that women aren't actually being abused or exploited in marriage very often. There was an interesting quote in the beginning...

A year later, the percentage of women promoted to partner had more than doubled. So we're handing out promotions because of gender now. That's just wonderful.

So in cases of "date rape" where the girl says no but doesn't struggle and the guy isn't rough, there's essentially no way to prove that it wasn't consensual.

You may recall Amy Schumer's recent HILARIOUS story about raping a guy in college. r/askfeminists manages to do a mental triple-tuck front flip and conclude it not only wasn't rape, but that Amy Schumer is a rape victim!So here's the logic I'm getting... He called her, so he's responsible for 100% of what happened. Her leading him to bed, removing her own clothes and creating an environment for sex is all essentially "no action" and she was, as usual, completely acted upon with no role to act in any capacity.

| 1 | Why are more women in poverty than men?It is actually a 21.7% difference by the definition of percent difference. In cases where both numbers are small, I agree that it's disingenuous to claim large differences, but it's still factual. However, poverty doesn't really fall into that case anyway. We're not dealing with 0.001%, we're dealing with 11.1%. A good thought at least. | /r/MensRights | 21/04/15 01:58 AM |
| 1 | Why are more women in poverty than men?Ah. Whoops, I flubbed. I took 11.1 and 13.8 percent of the entire population. I should have divided by two... Dangit... Even accounting for this error, my original source still places single mothers at 5.72 million, which is a fairly large difference from the Census Bureau. Different years? Still.

| 1 | Why are more women in poverty than men?You make a fair point. I did some research though, and I have to call into question your number of 11 million single mothers in poverty. Where did you find that? According to this (which is sure to inflate the numbers as much as possible) there are 12 million single parent families. 80% of these are headed by women, and 39.6% of these were in poverty. When you do the math on those you get 3.7 million, not 11 million. But yes, I agree, I should be more gender neutral. Thank you for pointing that … | /r/MensRights | 20/04/15 03:19 AM |
| 2 | Why are more women in poverty than men?This is about 9 million women, not 44 million. Correct. My 44 million number was the total number of women, not the difference between men and women. Important note. With 11 million single mothers in poverty, this differences in single parenthood more than account for the differences in poverty rates. I can accept that.

When parents turn on their own children and abandon them like this... I can't handle it.

| 1 | My coworker just said "A Man probably designed the new iPhone 6 because it's going to be so big, and they always need everything to be bigger."The funny thing is, the iPhone 6 isn't even the biggest phone out there. For one, we won't even know for 100% the sizes until September 9th. Also, the 4.7" model is still pretty small. The 5.5" is 0.4" more than the Galaxy, but still smaller than the Note. So it's a strawman argument at best, and a calculated attack at worst... | /r/MensRights | 19/08/14 09:59 PM |
| 2 | What are the actual statistics on alimony payments?Yes, I checked the Census Bureau. I confirmed that men represented only 3% of alimony recipients. So it's a pretty poor argument to say that women pay alimony too so men should shut up about it... I did read some stories about women getting screwed over by alimony, so it certainly can happen. But just look at the numbers. | /r/MensRights | 18/08/14 11:54 PM |
| 7 | Is disagreeing with a Female point of view socially unacceptable these days?From personal experience, yes. I highly doubt there are any studies done, but at least from my interactions online and in person, yes. | /r/MensRights | 18/08/14 06:51 AM |
| 1 | The Men's Rights Movement Is Making A Huge MistakeEhhh... He really has some decent points, but you can't make a blanket statement about all female MRAs. GirlWritesWhat is an incredible supporter, and I would trust her at least. I don't personally identify as an MRA, but nonetheless, my point stands. I don't know much about the other women. So yes, he has decent points, but something seems not quite right. I can't put my finger on it. | /r/MensRights | 17/08/14 04:31 AM |
| 1 | I used to be a feminist, now I'm just confused... Help? Did I go from one extreme to another?I think you've got a good attitude about this, but like others have said, there's no need to prevent women from working in certain fields. If a rare woman is exceptionally strong and enjoys construction work, then she shouldn't face any obstacles. I think this kind of woman would be exceedingly rare, but it's really more for an example. You make a good point about the living wage though... I don't know if a study has been done, but it's possible that everyone could benefit from a change like tha… | /r/MensRights | 16/08/14 08:16 AM |
| 2 | Gender differences: A variation in the cognitive abilities of the two sexes may be more about social development than gender stereotypesThe article only says that only to a degree they could be from society. I think that, yes, that has to be at least one part of it, but biology I think is another part of it. I can't remember where, but I think I remember a study about men being better with abstract and spatial reasoning, while women have better memory and multi-tasking abilities. The point was that their brains are different. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/14 05:42 PM |
| 1 | Not being able to accept a job because I am a male.This. I sympathize with OP, but you can't use the same logic the SJWs use. These reactions aren't everywhere in society, so it's possible no one will raise any eyebrows. And if they do, then now you're vindicated. Plus, who cares what other people think? If some women equate catcalling with harassment, isn't this kind of in the same vein? I don't want to attack OP, so correct me if my logic is faulty. Like, oh, people think I just wanna be around little girls, so I won't pursue my dreams because… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/14 03:16 AM |
| 1 | How many people share my opinion?Genital Mutilation: A fair point. So for sake of equal right, the women do have that one going for them. Rape Laws: That's messed up. "Unwanted sexual intercourse isn't rape." Reverse the genders and buildings would burn. I didn't realize that the max was 5 years lower, so that's a problem, and of course statistics are important too. Birth Certificate: All I can say is that is messed up. So it looks like women do have more rights than men. However, in my original argument, and this one, Feminism… | /r/MensRights | 05/08/14 10:18 PM |
| 1 | How many people share my opinion?Another fair point. You may wish to read my response to /u/anon_and_on. So we can still say that under peaceful conditions men and women have equal rights, correct? Assuming there are now wars and we're not considering a crime? It's kind of stretch, but my point is that both genders can own property, have equal pay for equal work, able to live on their own, etc. These issues are good points though, and honestly I'm surprised that Feminists can blatantly ignore them, or treat them like victories. | /r/MensRights | 05/08/14 03:13 PM |
| 1 | How many people share my opinion?Interesting... Good points. I was referencing the US in my original post, but the UK is a similarly developed area. Circumcision is bad, and I give you that point, but how much does it disadvantage someone, in that they do not have an equal opportunity to succeed as an individual? For example, what ailments result long term from it, with what frequency? Can it cause death in any case? Despite those questions, I still pretty much agree, I suppose. A female baby has the right to not be mutilated, … | /r/MensRights | 05/08/14 03:10 PM |
| 2 | How many people share my opinion?Yes, that's it. Good point, it seems I was misinformed. I did some further reading on the case and found that many feminists completely blew this out of proportion. It just shows how saturated our culture is with Feminism I guess. I had heard that his main motivation was to kill women, even though a few men got in his way. Apparently that's not what happened at all. So yeah. Interesting. | /r/MensRights | 05/08/14 02:50 AM |
| -2 | How many people share my opinion?Definitely not being stupid =P I'm sure there are. I seem to remember something about a mass murderer identifying as an MRA. And I'm sure there are other people who honestly think women collectively oppress men, which is an extreme view. Feminism has been around for much longer, and has far more members, so the extremists are infinitely more easy to find. This doesn't make the extreme MRAs any better or more correct though. Both are wrong. One reason why /r/Feminism may seem more radical is that… | /r/MensRights | 04/08/14 11:31 PM |
| 1 | How many people share my opinion?I wouldn't completely agree with you, but I hold a similar view. When it comes to actual, legal rights, men and women are the same. Everyone has equal opportunity. At least in the US. Women have issues that are specific to their gender. (A lot of what Feminists complain about though aren't even gendered issues, but there are some legit complaints) Men have issues that are specific to their gender. No one is being oppressed. We all suffer in different ways. So I wouldn't call myself an MRA, even … | /r/MensRights | 04/08/14 10:23 PM |
| 1 | eBay gives advantages to women that work for them simply for being femaleIt does actually: encourages women to stay on with the company in order to take on leadership roles down the road So they specifically encourage women to stay so they can get better positions later on. They don't encourage "hard workers" or "productive people." No, they encourage women. Sure, obviously those two things are encouraged. But they have a program specifically targeted at women to get them better positions. I would call that an advantage simply for being female. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/14 04:17 PM |
| 4 | eBay gives advantages to women that work for them simply for being femaleeBay's strong female leadership numbers are at least in part because of its Women's Initiative Network. Known as WIN, the program encourages women to stay on with the company in order to take on leadership roles down the road. This is ridiculous. They are being given this advantage solely for the gender, and not based on performance or ability to work. If it was reversed, people would freak out. Why is this okay? | /r/MensRights | 03/08/14 11:27 PM |
| 1 | All men are objectifying pigs because some of them look at me when I dress in booty shorts, low cut shirts, and cake on makeup.Spectacular point. I was at the beach with my girlfriend, and she slapped me because it looked like I was staring at a girl in a bikini. Honestly, I was reading a sign in a store, and didn't notice the girl. Additionally, like another user pointed out, you can't wear a trench coat, black gloves and dark sunglasses at night and not expect people to react negatively to you. The fact simply is that appearance matters. Trying to change that is basically uprooting some of humanity's basic functionali… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/14 06:51 PM |
| 1 | [QUESTION] Are You A MRA?I don't identify as an MRA. For the same reason I don't call myself a feminist. Anyone can pick up the tag and say whatever they want. I think percentage-wise, MRAs probably have just as many crazy people as feminism does. Additionally, regardless of what they actually stand for, people generally make the assumption that MRA = women hater. This is unfortunate, but it's the reality of the situation, so I avoid that label. I try to not put any labels on myself at all, because of these very reasons… | /r/MensRights | 22/07/14 07:53 PM |
| 1 | Irish father-of-two tells of how wife 'stabbed him up to fifteen times' and nobody believed himI'm not the one who used it, I'm just defining it as people use it. Some feminists would take great offense at being called AMR though, while others would be happy for it. It just shows that the movement has too many definitions and is slowly coming unglued. | /r/MensRights | 12/07/14 04:52 PM |

| 1 | In defense of "boys will be boys"When I was growing up, I heard my grandma utter the phrase "boys will be boys" on a number of occasions. One time was when I was exploring in the woods and fell and got scratched up. Another time was when my friends and I had a wrestling match and I got some bruises. Another was when I got welts from paintball. In my world, this was used to say that we shouldn't baby boys because they're naturally into things where they may get hurt. We should learn to suck it up and deal with our choices. Gener… | /r/MensRights | 09/07/14 05:29 PM |
| 1 | Article suggesting that men are not made for the delivery room of their childrenI want to be there for my wife (not married yet, but I have a committed girlfriend) , if only to make her feel better. But I have to say, that terrifies me; knowing that she could die. At the risk of sounding callous, if the doctors gave me a choice to save the baby's life or my wife's, I would instantly choose her and feel no regrets. Maybe I'm too attached. But that's still scary. I don't know if I could go on living if my wife died delivering a baby. I would feel responsible, even though we b… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/14 04:15 AM |
