Sure, I don't think "better that they're dead" should be said about anyone ever, but especially about a suicide. Glad they can't hurt anyone or hopeful that it brings closure to their victims, sure, but BETTER THAT THEY'RE DEAD is a dark perspective driven by anger and a psychopathic perspective of unempathetic human utility. There is ALWAYS a better path. Relatedly, as someone who struggles with suicidal urges and thoughts, ever supporting THAT route with a "it's good for others they might have…

I'm confused, I went to the link and it was about 15 consecutive "God, MR's, their shitfucks, huh? Not even really human kind of!" Was that your point and I misread? Also, I am on the alien blue app, so it doesn't show that deep into the comments, usually just 3 or less in.

I think a better analogy would be if you accused someone of trying to kill you while you were actually making threats frequently that they tried to ignore. Except in a world where your word is taken far more seriously than theirs and where attempted murder was the single most socially hated crime. But I really like your line of thought, it's a good thing to think about.

Similar to MR finding her site (gloat, mock, be outraged to some extent), but given the newness of the MRM and her cohorts' already twisted and vicious opinions of men as a sex she'd probably find fertile ground in media-at-large for this story of 'targeted hate-speech and aggressive sexism directed at this everyday, normal, hard-working female blog-specialist (or "blogger" if they're pushing the "average woman" angle instead of a "dedicated online professional who's breaking down glass barriers…

So out of curiosity why do we call female on male or female on female forced sex "rape" here? Why do we use the word while fighting to change it if we shouldn't use it until such-and-such dictionary agrees? Because quite a few don't agree with our use. Edit because my point is incomplete: Clearly not quite the same issue, but I'm hoping you'll stop and consider that "country" best gets his point across even though a longer and more specific phrase might have been more accurate. Additionally, do …

I'm beginning to question what the purpose of this conversation is. I doubt piercings qualify as surgery, but I also cannot imagine why that's a relevant question.
/r/MensRights26/01/14 03:38 PM

So we agree that potentially damaging surgeries of a non-medical nature shouldn't be done to anyone who can't legally make the decision for themselves then?
/r/MensRights26/01/14 02:41 PM

True, I'd be careful about what I got pierced and by who. I also wouldn't do something that risky to an infant or child. The majority of piercings also close over if you don't constantly wear something in them, so it's a lot easier to back out later if you regret it. Some don't get that chance, no circumcision patient gets that chance.
/r/MensRights26/01/14 01:02 AM

Serious, but reversible usually. That really is the key difference for me. I would want the legal age for surgically removing any part of the body for non-medical reasons (especially if there's parental or religious pressure to do it without regard to your possible preferences) to be a deal older than the age for piercings and such, and I think most would agree if we were discussing ear removal or cosmetic surgery to debone a pinky toe (apparently that's a thing). It just so happens that we're t…

It's got function that could never be recovered once removed (so in a sense more serious than a reversible vasectomy, but I get what you mean) and there could easily be excessive religious pressure from community or parents to do it as soon as you legally can so making it a legally later age would help protect easily pressured people (like my younger self) from doing something without putting real thought into it. Besides, even if it were merely cosmetic it's more permanent than a piercing or ta…
/r/MensRights26/01/14 12:35 AM

For anything but medical necessity I'd say whatever age tattoos become legal to get (equivalently permanent) or whatever age it becomes legal to get a vasectomy (if the age for a vasectomy is different from that for a tattoo).

Exactly! I'm a circumcised man, I'm against circumcision. I argued for it for a while when I first encountered anti-circumcision activists because I felt like they were calling me inferior or something and I didn't feel that way. My opinion changed when I started listening to the points instead of taking it personally: it's not that we're dirty or inferior, it's that a morally indefensible thing was done to us. It's fine to get a circumcision or to have it done for medical purposes, it's not fin…

On infants? All three unless there's medical necessity. Can't imagine a baby needing braces though. Or tattoos. Or piercings come to think of it.

Precisely this. It was probably done more safely and by a more experienced doctor than a female circumcision in a 3rd world country would have been, but that doesn't change the fact that it's unnecessary mutilation.

A person might act/be powerful but that has no bearing on whether or not he/she commit suicide. Yeah, you don't get to pull that out of your ass and have us believe it.

Dude, I don't even have kids and I know that's bullshit. It's not your hours, it's their hours, with no time off period unless you find a worthwhile babysitter. It's essentially a tiny, drunk, suicidal boss who never stops asking questions. Raising kids isn't harder work necessarily, but it is relentless work that you don't get to ever stop thinking about. I can easily see how being a decent parent deserves respect and acknowledgement.

The point is you should only defend in that most extreme circumstance here.

Good life advice, terrible advice for this particular situation. This is going to be a big deal and filmed from every angle with only the choicest bits making any sort of news. Going to this particular meeting is now essentially a symbolic act rather than attending a regular event, so if you care at all about the movement you need to reserve any sort of physical retaliation or defense for only life-altering threats.

That was my point. The German atrocities are a class of their own since it was literal systematic genocide, but the Japanese easily did enough on their own to merit global intervention.

There are plenty of shittier nations than us that are still here, and, as a reminder, I'm pretty damn sure your policy of "let the poor ones die" would be worse for us than a slightly improved version of our current safety net. We have more than enough wealth to pay for it, and if people like you don't need it well then all the better since that's less expense

Either way though I'm just saying it's not fair to the individual (women who work 40 hrs a week are paid less than men who work 40 hrs a week) So women work 78% as many hours and make 78% as much, which line up perfectly, while suffering a mere 7% of fatal work-related injuries but you're still certain they're being oppressed.

his own letter indicates that he was a violent, disturbed individual Pretty sure this is in reference to the single paragraph where he is brutally upfront about how he lightly smacked his daughter and, to his shock, drew blood.

It sounds like picking up women is your passion and only real motivating goal right now, which of course makes settling down impossible.

As someone who comments here but wouldn't call myself a Men's Rights Activist I'm guessing women would date an MRA for the same reasons a man might date a Feminist: Either the person has a lot in common and presents their beliefs well without being unpleasant, or the person who is dating them aggressively agrees with their beliefs. I think that answers your question, but if you're looking for an angry tirade against you that is full of swearing and strawmen I could probably whip something up. I'…

Oh yeah, comments lead to lynch mobs for both sides, but which one is socially acceptable? Which one are more people okay with seeing? Also, I don't doubt that most feminist might be careful with the word, I just know that in my experience they are the only other people besides gamers who will throw it around.

This interests me. I hear a lot about the dangers of false rape accusations and family courts on MensRights detailing the ways in which it is biased towards women. I would like to hear your information, as someone who studied law, that disagrees.

Wait, you haven't? Shit, and I just got my pitchfork polished :( Kidding aside, rape is thrown around (in my experience) most often by gamers (in the context of having defeated someone utterly) and feminists. These are people who have not experienced rape and who are indeed devaluing the concept by turning it into a mere insult or a talking point, with no care or consideration for actual victims except as more statistics to throw. However, the moment rape is alluded to in a personal and serious …

Thanks. I hope the people who downvoted did it because they found one of my angry diatribes and saw this as hypocrisy, not for some stupid reason. I also hope they'll think about this attitude and maybe understand what I'm trying so hard to convey. Also, maybe if I don't go on reddit so soon after I take my ADD medicine I won't post 3 paragraph summations of my personal beliefs in response to 1 and 2 line comments :\

I think the problem has more to do with the implication that these things are exclusive to straights/whites/guys. Some of these points are worth considering, but all of them are phrased in such a way that the implication is it's our fault. Oh, and "I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having my co-workers on the job suspect that I got it because of my race" is probably the most frustratingly obnoxious one here. Really? Getting a job at a place which hires non-whites at ti…

The pointing out of "privileges" is a good way to make someone like me really notice that there is a disadvantage for others, but I think you've missed the point of the two paragraphs. The argument is that what you are calling a privilege is no more than what any American should have. It's a right. Viewing my not-being-followed-in-stores-because-I'm-white as a "privilege" turns me into a jerk for having this undeserved thing you do not have. It's an unproductive and accusatory twist which promot…

Very, very true. The only healthy way for this exchange to happen is if both parties are willing to listen to privileges the other thinks they have and consider whether there is a valid point. I'm not going to listen to a woman berate my gender viciously even if I feel like she could have a valid point somewhere. I am going to converse with a woman who has serious thoughts on the issue and is willing to return the favor of considerate interaction.

You lucky fucker! Every time I play They Might Be Giants people are all "stop encouraging a culture of thuggish gangsterism!" But no, you make a good point. It's important that everyone consider their own privileges and disadvantages and be willing to seriously consider those of others. If we don't do this it just devolves into the usual us vs. them stuff where one group shouts about the privileges of another and the other responds by shouting back their disadvantages, then the first group mocks…

...I apologize and mean no disrespect, but I thought your name was "dumb for life". "Hawk"ward. I'm sad because people think a guy can't be raped. I'm also sad because people think all guys want sex so badly they'd gladly fuck anything that came their way. Being more likely to accept sex when you get the chance does not mean you aren't allowed to say no.

Right. Statistics. About a so far undefined element of why homophobia would be 10x worse for straight guys.

Pretty much agree with you. I personally give a fuck whether my friends are bi, hetero, homo, a, pan, etc. because sexuality is such a huge part of how we interact in a non-professional setting and because almost all of my experience is with hetero people. I want to know your sexual preference so I don't make an assumption and then make an ass of myself later on by acting on that assumption when I accidentally lead a gay friend on or embarrass my bisexual friend in front of a girl I didn't know …

This. People do evil, vapid, angry, and stupid shit (along with all the loving, kind, caring, and supportive shit). Maybe their particular type of ignorance is something you cannot tolerate being around and you will confront them about it if they engage in it in front of you. That's cool, everyone has their boiling point and if you can engage in a corrective way you might even cure the person of their ignorance (or at least make certain they know what their words/actions mean to you). For me the…

Are...are you confusing what straight and gay mean? Or do you just mean worse for straight people's reputation as a group versus worse for gays as individuals?

I'm cautiously interested in hearing why you think this. Personally I feel like homophobia has been hugely destructive to male bonding, but I highly doubt you can convince me that it's 10x more destructive for straight guys than for gay guys.

When I talked about learning to keep a woman I meant more along the lines of learning when to be like a brutish man than trying to talk her into to staying.

I agree. It's nice to read what people think about themselves because often how they write tells you more than what they say

Again, I doubt they've considered that they could be to blame, but some of the brutish guys really are that. I know I've swallowed more 'please her' bullshit than I yet realize, but the way is pushing through and coming out the other side with concern for a woman and knowledge of how to keep her rather than claiming that ignoring them flat out is best.
/r/MensRights10/11/10 06:16 AM

Not entirely true, but damn close. I think you give us too much credit and ignore them unfairly. Men are great for advancement, women are great for nurture. Men think and do the stuff needed for the group or the greater good, women think and do the stuff for the people, the caring. Women are worse at getting outside a situation and seeing the external problem, men are worse at reading and detecting the internal problems.

I felt the same. She's noticing the problem, but flinging blame in the form of condescending jokes to avoid needing to deal with the problem.
/r/MensRights10/11/10 05:56 AM

It's not hate speech, it's an uncomprehending mind trying to explain the terrible error that has been made and thinking casting blame through humor will make it go away.

Honestly, this article didn't even anger me. The whole thing kept coming across as someone who knows they've fucked up and are desperately trying to talk themselves up by bashing the person they feel inferior to. I don't even necessarily hold that view, it's just what this article felt like to me. It screamed inferiority complex.
/r/MensRights10/11/10 05:53 AM

Exactly! She can tell there is a problem, but rather than try to identify and deal with it (write the manual she jokes about) she uses that kind of joke to make sure that her audience knows that whatever this problem is, it's because guys don't get it. So now, the women are all allowed to acknowledge this issue in the context of "why can't men..." instead of even stopping to figure out what the problem actually is
/r/MensRights10/11/10 05:50 AM

Possibly. It felt like a cheap punchline to remind the audience what they tend to think and say about the subject about to be discussed to gain their attention and trust. The next bit could have been slowly expressed and carefully thought out examples and a theory ultimately causing the reader to regret their positive reaction toward the beginning sentence. But it wasn't. It was somehow even more insulting.

Hey, she's just doing her best to play the role of a man. She's noticed a problem, but, unable to get her social "multitasking" brain to focus, is unable to clearly state what it is. Much less acknowledge possible guilt and try to identify a solution. So she quickly throws in stuff she likes to gossip about and blames the unstated "it" on men. God help her, she's trying.

Everything he said is fairly boldly stated in the article, that doesn't mean this guy's defending it. He's just doing what we guys do best: correcting a perceivably incorrect view with his added perspective. It's why women hate us

I think this guy is correct in identifying her intentions. She clearly says something is wrong, but in her mind it's "how can men better adapt to us" rather than "What is the problem and what should we all do"

Funny how she manages to to stop short of mentioning how she thinks men should deal with things these days. I have the distinct feeling she has no idea what to do and is crying out for someone to figure out what's gone wrong, but has to pander to her audience and doesn't want to think feminism as she defends it might have made some mistakes.

I feel like she was almost touching that, or at least beginning to notice it was there. As more rational, less (uncontrollably) emotional creatures we like to understand what's going on in as close to objective terms as we can. She seems on the verge of acknowledging that maybe the system wasn't working if the results were decreased happiness; but right before taking that extra step she calls us stupid again and stops the article. After all, figuring out what the problem is or how to fix it is a…

I figure it's aimed exclusively at women, so a little condescension could have been the sugar to ease the medicine her readers needed. Instead she gave them their favorite candy bars and told them she had been thinking about going to the store to get the medicine.

So as someone who really wants to avoid that, how did it come to this? How did you and her meet, Why did you guys get married, how did the divorce happen and give me an idea of how you viewed women and the world during that process so I can hopefully understand a bit more. I've just never heard anyone explain their situation beyond either "We were in love and she became a bitch" or "We married because of kids/money/etc. and she became more of a bitch" and really want to avoid the whole situation…
