11	When you read more about manspreading than actual issues in the world... This story got me a little teary eyed as I read through it with a big smile on my face. It's even got the rarely used intrigue for good.	/r/MensRights	04/12/18 07:30 PM
21	Ssoooo the other 50% are... So, gender has nothing to do with people being out of school then. It's a complete non-factor.	/r/MensRights	08/10/18 04:42 AM
10	So true. There's also a lot of Americans that consider Liberals a dirty thing, because those liberals were for equal voting, improving democratic rights, and general end of discrimination against blacks. It then became a generic negative term. For those curious, liberalism generally refers to movements for improving civil rights, republicanism, and egalitarianism.	/r/MensRights	30/09/18 02:49 AM
1	#himtoo The problem is that there's two kinds of feminists in this equation. One thinks that feminism is an egalitarian movement and gets mad if you imply otherwise. The other thinks that feminism should be about female issues only and gets mad if you imply otherwise. The two are separate, but ascribe to the same name. So the movement seems to be hypocritical as a result, even if most individuals are not.	/r/MensRights	28/09/18 05:05 AM
2	Telling a feminist the truth. The problem isn't that feminism is a women's advocacy movement or that it's an egalitarian movement. It's that there's different people in it that believe in each side and they get pissed when it's treated as something else. They can't have it both ways, the movement needs to clearly define what it represents one way or another. I would argue that it would be best if feminism was changed to be specifically about women's advocacy and egalitarianism was about gender equality so it was less likely …	/r/MensRights	22/08/18 05:43 PM
7	Ex radical feminist speaking up after his transition to being male There are many things like this in the world. You may know how things are, but not actually understand it or truly empathize with it. I recently was reading through a story which made it clear to me for the first time on an emotional level what it would be like living homeless, desperate, and never knowing where your next meal would come from.	/r/MensRights	21/08/18 07:07 PM
1	Father accused of molesting his daughter for 15 years. Goes on Dr Phil, proves his innocence and his daughter still doesn't believe him because of the magnitude of her mother's lies. It's essentially the same sort of brainwashing you get with cults or propaganda for extremist movements where people are made to unlearn rational thought since that's not useful for the narrative they're trying to force onto their followers.	/r/MensRights	21/06/18 06:38 PM
27	I guess this where we’re at now. “Men are scary. End of story” These sound like they are irrational fears and should be treated the same way phobias are. A crippling fear of a group of people, regardless of who they are, isn't something that other people should have to adapt to in order to deal with. That's undue pressure on society as a whole to solve a problem that is ultimately irrational.	/r/MensRights	10/04/18 11:24 PM
12	19 year old woman has sex with 14 year old boy, and suddenly the sex offender registry is a problem. Both of the linked articles talking about how unfair the sex registry is are both talking about unfortunate male teenagers that are now permanently on the list. I don't think this particular article is actually making this a gender issue, it's more aimed at the problem of the list in general.	/r/MensRights	20/09/17 01:38 AM
5	Male and female student accuse each other of sexual assault. Only the female's complaint is investigated while the male's is ignored If I remember right, the problem originally was that they'd ignore or try to brush off any harassment for a long as possible, especially if it was a high level athlete committing the crime. With new laws put into place, they've now swung around all the way to the other side and essentially just assume that all men accused of harassment are guilty out the gate. It really is the worst of both worlds with either extreme.	/r/MensRights	19/11/16 11:18 AM
-5	Man Refuses to Allow a Homeless Woman to Stay with Him; Loses his Job, his Car, and nearly his Home Because of a Clearly False DV Allegation. This doesn't really sound like it was mainly an issue with men's rights, it's a systemic issue in the county's justice system. My guess would be that this is due to private jails looking to maximize their prison population. EDIT: I'm talking about how the guy was kept in prison for much longer than he should have been. My mistake for not specifying. There are all manner of issues here, the man's rights issue was only the catalyst that got things started.	/r/MensRights	17/08/16 12:03 AM
1	A male professor said this women-only study lounge is sexist and illegal. The school shut it down If your dorm mate is trying to sleep, you studying might be making that rather hard for THEM. If they're entertaining a guest on their desktop PC and showing them a program on that, they can't actually go somewhere else. Your roommate might not be the sort to actually do that as a consideration for you, besides, if they were there first, it's rude for you to ask them to leave on your behalf. Studying on your bed might not be an option if you're doing something like architecture drafting. Having …	/r/MensRights	01/08/16 07:47 PM
1	A male professor said this women-only study lounge is sexist and illegal.

3	15yo boy forced to pay child support after being raped by 34yo teacher [x-post /r/wtf] Yes, laws as they are currently written means that this is the only legal outcome. The problem can only be fixed by changing the laws, not by getting mad at the court rulings that result from the current ones.	/r/MensRights	19/06/16 02:56 PM
31	Colleges Slammed With Lawsuits From Men Accused Of Sex Crimes: "At least 75 men have sued their schools since 2013, complaining largely of reverse discrimination and unfair disciplinary proceedings." They're basically doing whatever is most profitable or simplest for them. A decade ago it was best if they simply brushed all the rape accusations under the rug, even if they were legitimate. So that's what they did. With recent changes to the laws, it's now easiest for them to just treat everyone accused as being guilty. So that's what they do. The root of the issue is the institutions and laws that lead to these two extremes in the first place.	/r/MensRights	24/03/16 05:22 PM
1	Female Veteran on Women in Military. I wouldn't say all ground operations, since they can definitely be in supporting roles or long range combat roles. It's the up close and personal stuff in gorilla or urban combat where all these problems come up.	/r/MensRights	12/01/16 02:23 AM
1	"Equality = Patriarchy" No, that's not the case. You just hear about a lot of these people because they're very vocal minority and the shear stupidity of some of their comments gets a lot of attention. The majority of feminists don't seek to perpetuate double standards that favor women or increase them, they're just normal people concerned about women's rights.	/r/MensRights	30/12/15 02:47 PM
3	"Equality = Patriarchy" I wouldn't say it's the whole organization, but there are some people who call themselves feminists that genuinely do just want power or think that women need special treatment or powers.	/r/MensRights	30/12/15 12:40 AM

It's never a middle-ground situation. Not both groups in this discussion 'benefit' equally. Are you talking about the issue with the University, or with online harassment? I was referring to online harassment alone. Now I will admit that I shouldn't have said both sides, as it's pretty much just assholes in general who benefit.

-23	Male University of York Student Commits Suicide on Day His University Ditches International Men's Day After Pressure From Feminists What advice do you give to people who can't do that? There are people who have that problem, they cannot ignore it and move on. They end up obsessing over it until it destroys them. The worst part about this is that its actually a minority of people who can ignore it without it affecting them. Fortunately most people aren't affected by it too badly.	/r/MensRights	18/11/15 09:17 PM
-34	Male University of York Student Commits Suicide on Day His University Ditches International Men's Day After Pressure From Feminists That's great for you. Not everyone has the same ability to suck it up. Many people take this sort of harassment very personally and can end up having to go offline to get away from it. The problem is that most of our society these days is online. EDIT: I'd argue that the fact that this is getting downvoted demonstrates just how little the people here understand this issue.	/r/MensRights	18/11/15 08:23 PM
-21	Male University of York Student Commits Suicide on Day His University Ditches International Men's Day After Pressure From Feminists I'm glad to hear that it is in fact illegal there, however, are the reports actually publicly available for people to view?

So people can do it without consequence. 2) The police won't actually do much about the threats, simply because they don't really have the capability to do so. 3) Anybody who has any kind of online fame will receive hate messages in some form, regardless of the situation. The more famous your are, the more you will get this. This happens regardless of sex, ethnicity, or any other factors or traits. 4) Thanks to the anonymity of …	/r/MensRights	18/11/15 06:32 PM
-48	Male University of York Student Commits Suicide on Day His University Ditches International Men's Day After Pressure From Feminists I wouldn't actually be all that surprised if the rape threat stuff is legitimate. A lot of women do get these on a regular basis from some pretty nasty guys. You end up having assholes on both sides being the only ones who're actually benefiting from the current situation. EDIT: Why the heck would I get downvoted for saying this? People getting harassed online happens all the time and many people actually go to therapy for it, regardless of sex.	/r/MensRights	18/11/15 05:33 PM
13	Children do not have affairs with older women, they are abused by them The thing is that you should still be horrified by this even if you only believe that women are damaged by this because men who were abused as children are more likely to abuse other children when they get older. By condoning the abuse of boys, you make more men that will in turn abuse children, including girls.	/r/MensRights	06/10/15 07:19 PM

Likely you will see more and more women filling in all roles in society as physically strength no longer matters. So long as the barriers of entry are torn down (work environment, such as co-workers can be a barrier of entry and is often the biggest one for many women), this issue will correct itself.

1	Army Ranger instructors say women didn't carry the same amount of equipment, didn't take their turns carrying heavy machine guns, and were given intensive pre-training not offered to men, among other things The issue I'm bringing forward is the necessity of an outside force to make changes to an existing flawed system. I think that you're arguing that the way that they're going about making changes is causing problems. Is that a fair assessment? Like it would be possible to open up the military to women without lowering standards or creating quotas, for example.	/r/MensRights	01/10/15 02:23 PM

They couldn't run their farms without them and they're doing the slaves a favor anyway. Being forced to uphold safety regulations puts undo stress on the owners that will force them to close their businesses down, the government doesn't understand how things work here and should butt out!

Americans want children to be protected because of family values, but they don't want to foot the bill because that's communism. The money has to come from somewhere, and parents are pretty much the only option. Since the mother almost always takes care of the kid, the father has to pay child support to her. Good luck getting the law repealed, since that's taking money away from children or is being uncaring towards the needs of children.

-2	Injustice system: "So now, my exwife lives in the house with her lover, I have to pay $788 per month for a child that isn't mine, plus $1400 for a mortgage in a house I don't get to live in" The child's real father cannot provide enough money to make sure the child's standard of living does not decrease. The courts have a legal responsibility to make sure that the child's standard of living does not decrease in divorce cases. The ONLY way for them to accomplish this is to force the OP to pay child support and mortgage fees.	/r/MensRights	10/08/15 07:38 AM

From what I can tell, if there are no kids then the divorce laws do not favor either spouse and are more or less equal. If there is a child, then legally the parent who is given legal custody of the child is the one who will receive the house so that the child has as little stress as possible due to the situation. Unfortunately, women receive custody of the child about 85% of the time (for various reasons) and this is what leads t…	/r/MensRights	10/08/15 07:35 AM

No mater what, the (legal) father must pay for child support. This is regardless of whether or not the child is actually his or if the child was born without the man's consent. Legally, the state can seek reparations for state funded child support from the father even if he was raped by the mother as a minor if the mother applies for state funded child support.

How far do most of these cases go? EDIT: According to the article, any sexual activity between the staff and the youth is considered sexual misconduct.
