0	Improving the reputation of the MR movement by learning self control. There are almost always outliers when making generalizations. Yes, very good. Though, I'm surprised you didn't say "There are always outliers when making generalizations." Because saying 'almost' is just being a pussy, according to you, right? "You have nothing of worth to say." When I state this about you, am I making a generalization, or saying something specific and concrete? Have a happy and reflective New Year.	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 11:45 PM
3	Improving the reputation of the MR movement by learning self control. Writing clearly and concisely is masculine. Being verbose and unfocused is feminine. ... Source? I never use the word "all" when I make a generalization. That would be stupid. It seems you're stuck with stupid either way, here. If I say, "People named Jeremiah are nut jobs", that means if you are a person named Jeremiah, you're a nut case. 'All' is implied, as I'm talking about a property for the group 'People named Jeremiah'. But by not using words like "I think", I should be able to provide a …	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 11:29 PM
9	Improving the reputation of the MR movement by learning self control. So, speaking clearly is feminine and apologetic? And if you say "All x is blue", and I point out a y in x that is red, you're not wrong? Being a dude doesn't mean you're not an idiot. Your arguments are sloppy, you twist the argument unreasonably to your own conclusions, and as someone who believes in this movement, I don't want to be associated with anything that's so righteously idiotic if you're speaking for a majority of the members. I doubt I'm alone on that. TL;dr: Speaking clearly is not …	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 07:39 PM
8	Improving the reputation of the MR movement by learning self control. ... Seriously? So if I find one inaccurate generalization on MRA you're going to come across as a bit of a nut case. Do you really stand behind that statement? We don't need this kind of strong language with respect to MRA statistics. Honesty and humility is better. Forceful language is great when expressing demands of equality, however. I never speak using inaccurate generalizations. But people do.	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 06:57 PM
7	Improving the reputation of the MR movement by learning self control. It's not about being acceptable. It's about communicating clearly. Do not over generalize, or lash out through generalizations. This is stereotyping or bigotry. It does not help the movement to use hate speech.	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 06:29 PM
4	Improving the reputation of the MR movement by learning self control. I don't think you can generalize like that. Some may be misogynistic.	/r/MensRights	31/12/11 06:22 PM
1	Florida Boy Attacked, Stripped Naked in Public, and Videotaped By Three Girls — Resulting In No Charges His points are being down-voted without being argued. That should be unacceptable here, I think.	/r/MensRights	16/12/11 03:45 PM
1	Number of states that allow a woman to abandon her child post-birth, and not be financially responsible for that child in the future: 49. Number of states that allow a man to abandon his child post-birth, and not be financially responsible for that child in the future: 0. The use of "women" as a group does not seem to be associating any stereotype with women, but rather a sentiment that all women be willing to accept equal responsibility legislation. I think. I thought otherwise at first, as well. But the act like adults line is offensive; agreed.	/r/MensRights	16/11/11 11:10 PM
3	Pelosi calls for ethics probe into David Wu sex accusation - I'm getting really sick of men being called upon to resign after merely being ACCUSED of wrong-doing. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Or, perhaps the administration knows the truth of it and is trying to get it resolved before another wave of bad press for a meaningless issue begins. The larger point is that this stuff should not be making headlines. What they do in their personal life should not be seen as relevant to their public work.	/r/MensRights	25/07/11 02:38 PM
4	Send Complaint to CBS against "The Talk" Hosts for Misandric Laughter about Genital Mutilation Victim! The complaint I posted: I would begin by stating that to laugh at gender, race, religion, and/or any other differences among us is a healthy thing, provided that we come from a place of unity when we say it. But when using humor to disguise misandry, as shown on The Talk's 7/14/2011 show, I will simply say it represents an unfortunate inhumanist perspective. There will be many jokes over the next few weeks, or longer, at the news item regarding the described castration; I will likely feel little…	/r/MensRights	17/07/11 10:38 PM
1	Stuff like this women. This is the correct spelling for now on, I think.	/r/MensRights	30/06/11 05:36 AM
-1	What does being a man mean to you? To be a man is to, presumably, be a good man. To be a good man, you must simply be a good person. The idea of man is asymptotically approaching that which defines being a human. And thus the qualities of a man are the qualities of a human, and lacks nothing.	/r/seduction	05/06/11 05:54 PM
5	Dear god, I hate stuff like this. (first post) I'm all for taking issue with assumptions about men like this, but...I don't think this is something to be worked up about. It seems reasonable. She wasn't claiming he was going to do or try something. Personally, I just can't believe someone can be entirely medical in a situation like that. As in, I don't want to believe it. It seems inhuman to the point of it being unsettling to me, though I'm not quite sure why.	/r/MensRights	04/06/11 06:17 AM
6	How to deal with women and drama. I could have used this so many times [link] He's 8 dude. He lives with his mom. Not cool.	/r/seduction	03/06/11 05:36 AM
34	What do you do when you get a boner when making out You should be upfront about it and tell your uncle you're not comfortable with it, and your body is confused, and that he should stop and let you go. edit: grammar	/r/seduction	31/05/11 08:12 AM
12	Is it weird/creepy to go to a bar alone? There are a lot of "So a guy walks into a bar..." jokes. So I'm pretty sure it's okay.	/r/seduction	26/05/11 07:28 AM
0	She sets out to prove a point: that men have it so much better than women. But as She soon finds out, her assumptions are quickly dashed! My point about Reddit males was that she could have picked any group, but she went for a group that tends to not deal with feminine males, and requires a great deal of socialization towards that kind of life in order to be accepted. And she seems to draw conclusions from her experience, and apply it to all males. That's the sexist part. And this is some who is trying to get the largest audience possible to listen to her opinion from an extremely biased and incomplete set of information, which me…	/r/MensRights	18/05/11 06:35 AM
2	She sets out to prove a point: that men have it so much better than women. But as She soon finds out, her assumptions are quickly dashed! I honestly don't know what the male demographics are. That said, I don't know that the Reddit males are any more or less significant than any other group. He hadn't eaten fast food in a while and his stomach wasn't used to it. I don't want to argue the point, because it's fairly obvious there was little science done by this douche bag, yet he still came out with a conclusion, publicly. If it ain't science, it's manipulation. No logs of his diet, no idea of his exercise, and we are shown a guy th…	/r/MensRights	18/05/11 05:58 AM
1	She sets out to prove a point: that men have it so much better than women. But as She soon finds out, her assumptions are quickly dashed! He had not eaten meat for some time before the movie. Then he eats McDonalds, and gets very sick. This is the opening scene. You don't think that's pretty manipulative? As for this chick, why the hell did she choose those types of guys to be around? I think it's to add more drama. If she hung out with guys from Reddit, I don't think there'd be much of a story. It's just bullshit and contrived pseudo-reality to get people to read about the film and stir up some publicity. I find it horribly indec…	/r/MensRights	18/05/11 04:58 AM
4	She sets out to prove a point: that men have it so much better than women. But as She soon finds out, her assumptions are quickly dashed! Does this strike anyone as something akin to Super Size Me? As in, set up to display a false dramatization of how things really are, in the hopes of getting attention? Her insights seem horribly sexist against men, as well. Just my thoughts.	/r/MensRights	18/05/11 04:42 AM
