2	I sent 100 applications as a man and a woman. It's MUCH better being a woman I joked to my fiancée that I should take her last name over her taking mine, because it will probably hurt her job prospects to have a "white" last name.	/r/MensRights	14/09/22 03:44 AM
20	I sent 100 applications as a man and a woman. It's MUCH better being a woman I'm not even kidding that I'm seriously considering doing exactly this if I have to apply for jobs back home. The deck is stacked against me and no one will even admit to that fact... So, I'll play their vapid identity game.	/r/MensRights	13/09/22 08:33 AM
1	Trans inclusivity of men’s rights vs Trans exclusion from woman’s rights Well I'm human, ultimately. I don't have infinite knowledge of all things. I also have ADHD and extremely limited attention span when it comes to reading sources, I scan, digest and summarize as best as I can and still feel honest about it. Hence why I occasionally oversimplify to the point of error. It's not intentional, I process information at a somewhat low resolution. I just process a lot of it broadly and make informed guesses to work out the middle. I know about Vietnam, (although apparen…	/r/MensRights	23/08/22 02:28 PM
8	When you think misandry couldn’t get worse… Well you aren't totally wrong, the basis for the Amazon's is largely thought to be a tribe known as the Scythians that were famed horsemen that lived around the area of modern Ukraine. They were certainly real, but they weren't actually matriarchal, they did have more egalitarian attitudes (typical among nomadic tribes) and so there are credible historical reports that women fought alongside the men. But that fact got aggrandized by Greek historians into a tribe solely made of women warriors, an…	/r/MensRights	14/08/22 11:57 PM
1	People have ragged on the Momlife Comics a bunch recently, but this may be the worst one. Minimizing "Not providing for family" to one small bullet point The lack of awareness or even willingness of empathy from this artist really makes me sad for her husband. Poor guy must be henpecked and sad beyond belief that she seriously thinks all these things and has never even thought about his own struggles.	/r/MensRights	11/08/22 04:26 AM
0	50 Cent is an idiot. Separate bills should always be the default/expected on a first date. I entirely agree with 50 Cent, yeah sure, that still leaves it often being the man, but I hardly see the problem. It's a good rule that shows courtesy for the person you've invited on the date. Of course it's fine to prefer to separate checks. It's also a good test of character, I paid for dinner on my first date with my fiancée and she later she bought us drinks at the arcade. You don't want to be with someone that expects you to pay with everything but you also don't want to be with someone wh…	/r/MensRights	10/08/22 02:49 PM
0	Trans inclusivity of men’s rights vs Trans exclusion from woman’s rights Yeah, no. See I bring up the anger and it's seeming misdirection because you are so wildly off-base with your attack. I don't think you are reading what I'm writing correctly. Like for instance; I like Jordan Peterson... Most of my posts are defending him. Not attacking him. Though I have my own share of criticism. I actually can't imagine how someone would come away thinking I am trying to disprove him. I also am not really advocating for trans-men in my original post. I don't think I'm attacki…	/r/MensRights	09/08/22 01:46 AM
1	Trans inclusivity of men’s rights vs Trans exclusion from woman’s rights You are expressing a lot of anger that I can't help but think is misdirected. I'm only elucidating why, in my opinion, the status of trans-men are not as critical an issue to men's rights as trans-women are to women's rights. Frankly, trans-men don't pose the same threats, and men don't have enough gendered spaces of our own to even begin fighting who can access them. Though I think the poster who brought up the growing issue of trans-men trying force gay men into sex/relationships is on the ris…	/r/MensRights	07/08/22 06:19 PM
3	Trans inclusivity of men’s rights vs Trans exclusion from woman’s rights Trans-men invading gay spaces? I'm not surprised. But I meant a more literal sense of threat in that case Trans-men are rarely as physically threatening to men in the same way that trans-women can be to women in the same spaces.	/r/MensRights	07/08/22 03:54 AM
46	Trans inclusivity of men’s rights vs Trans exclusion from woman’s rights Frankly I think it's because in general, trans-man do not pose any threat (real or imagined) to men in gendered spaces. Most spaces that are gendered exist to protect or isolate women from men. A trans-man is infinitely more in danger in a men's bathroom or men's prison than a trans-woman in a woman's space. Trans-men don't earnestly pose much of a threat competively in men's sports but they obviously can in women's sports. Frankly, men don't even have enough truly gendered spaces to get up in a…	/r/MensRights	06/08/22 04:19 PM
0	A friend posted this on Facebook. I found it disturbing, to say the least that she thinks like this. What's your opinion? It can be both ways. Men who earn more are more likely to marry, but and are also more likely to be older and therefore earn more. But it is also true that having a partner is a positive feedback loop that can help you increase your earning potential.	/r/MensRights	05/08/22 03:28 AM
1	"White men can't experience racism" The Nazis privatized industries that had been previously nationalized under the Weimar regime. You're right about the rest though.	/r/MensRights	02/08/22 04:51 AM
1	"White men can't experience racism" No doubt, but while both are totalitarian, they are not similar.	/r/MensRights	02/08/22 02:34 AM
1	"White men can't experience racism" > Well. Let's go back to the systemic conversation. When a white man applies for a house loan, he doesn't have to worry as much he'd get denied because of his skin color. Or if he shops, he doesn't have worry as much about being profiled and followed unless he looks poor and low class. He doesn't have to worry as much he's going to get raped walking around at night. True, but the same white man making a job application in Silicon Valley or a university application to an Ivy League school is much…	/r/MensRights	01/08/22 11:16 AM
1	"White men can't experience racism" > Hitler didn't think he was a fascist. He was critical of them. Fascism didn't have the racial component of nazism for instance. They were both socialist however and had similar ideas about economics and governance What? That's completely out of whack with reality... Hitler was avowedly anti-bolshevist and used fear of communism as a major plank in his rise to power.	/r/MensRights	01/08/22 10:52 AM
0	"White men can't experience racism" Hitler wasn't a socialist and fascism is better understood as a right-wing totalitarian ideology. This also wasn't a shift in definition, fascisim has been understood as right-wing extremism even before the rise of Hitler. It was explicitly so to Mussolini. National Socialism is the original ideology of the Nazi party, but it's worth noting that Hitler significantly changed the direction of the Nazi party after becoming its leader, a part of what led to the Night of Long Knives, where most of th…	/r/MensRights	01/08/22 10:14 AM
3	A simple explanation of why the pay gap isn't existing Look. The pay gap doesn't exist (at least, not to the extent it is believed to and only very slightly due to discrimination), but this argument needs to die. Because it's a terrible argument. Businessmen are not perfectly rational actors. If they perceive that women do less work, than they will pay them less for their labour regardless of whether or not they actually do less work. It stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the feminist argument and reality as it stands and as it once was. T…	/r/MensRights	20/07/22 10:03 AM
23	Women Transitions Into A Man And Doesn't Like Being A Man This is all due to white imperialism Oof and he missed the landing by a mile. No. It's not toxic masculinity nor is it white imperialism or any such nonsense. There is definitely a social cause, and that's the utter degredation of the family unit and social isolation brought on, in part, by the internet age, by corporate alienation, and in part, by radical feminism. Men weren't always isolated. We used to have male friendships through work, through shared religious or value-oriented organization…	/r/MensRights	19/07/22 11:40 AM
3	What’s your guy’s thoughts on misandrists, blaming everything on a “patriarchy”or “toxic masculinity”? It's a mostly fictional boogeyman in the same vein as white privilege. Some men, some of the time, have benefitted from making it harder for women to succeed, but most have not benefitted, don't support it and don't contribute towards it. Indeed most men are punished by traditional devaluing of working class and non-privileged men.	/r/MensRights	18/07/22 03:36 PM
5	If you’re talking to a feminist or feminist apologist and they essentially say “it’s okay that men are suffering now because women suffered for hundreds of years”…they just don’t get it. THEY DON’T GET IT. The Iroquois were slightly matriarchal, in that the representatives in their sort of proto-democratic federation had to be women, and those women made much of the laws and agreements. But even then, you aren't talking about a truly matriarchal society, because the heads of households and individual bands are still male.	/r/MensRights	13/06/22 11:35 AM
2	Women will be offered three days 'menstrual leave' every month in Spain under plans set to be approved next week Look I'm all for giving women time off for bad periods, in theory, in practice, this feels very likely to end in two ways: Either companies will employ fewer women or pay them less, considering they will be losing up to three days of productivity a month from them Or these women will be paid the same, per some feverish mandate, and the end result will be that men will be paid less for equal work. There's no even handed way to solve this.	/r/MensRights	12/05/22 11:44 AM
6	Female teacher, 21, who told a 15 year old schoolboy that “age is just a number” before having sex with him twice, dodges jail after admitting she now 'bitterly regrets' seducing him Raping. The word is raping. Not seducing. You don't seduce a child that isn't mature enough to consent. She raped him.	/r/MensRights	08/04/22 02:46 AM
1	Why isn’t Male Infantile Circumcision illegal? Tradition and religious beliefs largely. But with the added detail of it not being as obviously inhumane as FGM. Guys who are circumsized don't drastically lose out, compared to women who experience similar mutiliations, notwithstanding that it's still wildly inapporpriate to perform on a baby. I am mostly opposed to the practice, but I'm also not sure if I can go so far as I am against FGM. Where the latter I think fuck your traditions you're mutilating this person, with circumcision I don't kn…	/r/MensRights	07/04/22 09:59 AM
7	Does anyone else get screwed over in logical debates in other threads for being in this sub? Recently was banned for being subscribed to r/JordanPeterson I have never before been banned from any sub. It was quite the shock especially since my impression had always been that r/mademesmile was just a fun little sub. Never got a strong idpol bent from them.	/r/MensRights	31/03/22 02:32 AM
7	Taliban or feminist rulers, you must choose Uhhh. This is incredibly short-sighted and dumb.	/r/AntiFeminists	11/09/21 06:56 AM
3	That was fast Absolutely. A question like that is a great test of honest, humility or humour depending on their answer. A person who feels offended by the question probably is going to be super-oversensitive in general.	/r/AntiFeminists	30/08/21 01:13 AM
1	Feminists now claim incels are being radicalized by men’s rights activists Beyond PUA somehow being a gateway to MGTOW, I'd like to question how it manages to be considered "lighter" than Men's Rights Activism. Like PUA assholes can say some fucked up incel-esque shit about women, of the kind I don't expect from Men's Rights Activists. I'm pretty sure if anything it goes from Nice Guys to PUA to Incel. It's a short hop from "from girls only like bad boys, I'm too nice" to "women like it when you neg them and treat them like shit" so behave like a douchebag to get women…	/r/AntiFeminists	23/08/21 02:34 AM

1	The feminists were triggered in the comment section over this video I'm pro-choosing life as I like to say. I think the ideal legal framework for abortion is one that considers the personhood of both mother and child, and a society that does not prohibit abortion, but does view it with the (in my view) correct gravity, and has the appropriate structures in place to both prevent unplanned pregnancies and support mothers that choose life even in more dire circumstances. It depends, very much on the jurisdiction, as I understand in my own home country Canada, docto…	/r/AntiFeminists	02/08/21 08:45 AM
5	The feminists were triggered in the comment section over this video Not magically but it does. That's when it's not literally physically connected to it's mother, that's when it gains ethical consideration according to most people and society/most societies, our moral values are largely based on our society's moral values and are subjective. Right, but you'd concede that is not a fixed rule. If the opinion of society is what mattered over what a person was, then abortion would've been wrong before but right as soon as broader society flipped on it. Which is what…	/r/AntiFeminists	02/08/21 08:33 AM
1	The feminists were triggered in the comment section over this video Is it better to be born into an unfortunate childhood or to never be born at all? I'm not sure, but I'd put it to you that it isn't a choice people should be able to make for another person. Look there is only one I think moral argument for abortion and that is that it isn't right to force a woman to carry a child and support a child she does not want, putting her body and her life at risk. A woman should have the right to choose who occupies her body and to expel anything she doesn't want from …	/r/AntiFeminists	02/08/21 07:54 AM
10	The feminists were triggered in the comment section over this video It doesn't magically become a person at birth either. We have as a society drawn a line at "has exited the womb" as the chosen point where a fetus becomes a child. But there is zero difference between a developed fetus and a baby. The line becomes even more unclear when you consider premature babies even up to the very beginning of the third trimester can survive. I'm not sure why that a zygote isn't as reasonable a defining point for a new human life as a birth is, after all once an egg is fert…	/r/AntiFeminists	02/08/21 07:47 AM
2	Oklahoma "accidentally" cancels feminism. "The new law prohibits public school teachers of grades K-12 from teaching eight different concepts about race, including that an individual, by virtue of his or race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously." Teaching unconscious bias is a huge leap from teaching inherent sexism/racism. Examining your own biases and confronting assumptions you make that might be unfairly prejudicial, racist or sexist is a great thing for everyone to do. The fact that it is being taught as though men/white people are uniquely susceptible or uniquely to blame for these biases is where you leap into awful and troubled waters.	/r/MensRights	15/07/21 05:48 AM

7	A group of female friends last night told me they genuinely feel entitled to be bought drinks at the bar by men. I often pay for my girlfriend's lunch and dinner, but then I make nearly 4x her salary. But the thing that made me impressed with her is that she didn't want me to pay for everything on our first date. I offered to pay for the food she said "only if she got to pay for the drinks" I knew I had found a solid partner after that.	/r/MensRights	14/06/21 06:29 AM
4	Does anyone else think there's just a touch of narcissism in women being afraid of men at night? The media sensationalizes violence against women, and downplays violence against men. It's not an act of hysteria to feel that it's dangerous to be outside at night alone, in fact it's something we all feel to one degree or another, it's deep-seated in our human nature to be afraid of the dark and doubly so for travelling alone. But the issue is most men are taught "you can handle this, just look big and tough" and most women are taught instead "every passing shadow could be a man coming for you…	/r/AntiFeminists	23/05/21 12:05 AM
0	In the era of gender equality, why men are still expected to sacrifice their lives to defend women instead of expecting women to start acting like adults and defending themselves? Why the people who claim to be against gender roles want to force gender roles on men? I strongly disagree. Not because men ought to be obligated to help women, but that men and women ought to be obligated to help each other and the most vulnerable in our society. A 65-year old woman being beaten by a grown man, and no one stepped in to defend her? I don't care about the gender, that's cruel and cowardly.	/r/AntiFeminists	04/04/21 05:49 AM
