| 1 | CMV: The impregnable case for omega incel pessimism.FYI, I'm not sure if you mean Rogerian style therapy versus CBT, but the concepts of "talk therapy" and cognitive behavioral therapy are not mutually exclusive by any means. In fact, the term "talk therapy" doesn't actually have a definition. If you mean a format in which someone has the freedom to explore past experiences, then you're right in that some CB therapists are more structured than others and keep the focus very specific and relatively current. However, any good therapist will have th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/16 10:11 PM |
| 1 | If a man doesn't want sex, he must be broken and is a "crappy" partnerDon’t start a family with this man from whom you’re very likely to end up divorced Ouch, that is terrible advice.

| 4 | Writer Charles Bukowski describes "Male Privilege" as being forced to make lots of money for someone else and being forced to feel grateful as a resultI think you may have taken this quote out of context and misinterpreted it. He was referring to the expectation of men to devote their lives to daily toil in the system (and he wrote that before it was common for women to be a part of the workforce). I read it more like an Alfred Prufrock observation, measuring out one's life in coffee spoons and what not. | /r/MensRights | 15/08/13 08:49 PM |

| 5 | Time for psychologists to study menThis relates to the idea that "masculine ideals" that are forced on men are harmful--and they are oppressive. Not that men oppress others. For example, expecting a man to pay for dinner on a date, or expecting a man to take a punch from a woman and just deal with it. These are examples of oppressive masculine ideals. The reason they have a section for "women in D51" is because a lot of women don't join because they think they won't be welcome (similar to men who want to be involved in feminist m… | /r/MensRights | 19/04/13 09:58 PM |

Seems logical enough that foreskin could trap shit (based on my complete lack of medical knowledge mind you)meh, don't decide based on how women react. I've been with uncircumcised partners, and while i can only speak for myself, it makes no difference to me. Some partners just need some education--if they don't want to fool around just because of that, and they're not receptive to being educated, then move on and find someone who will. | /r/MensRights | 29/03/13 06:48 AM |
| 1 | Shaming tactics 101! Men who stare!!No one is forcing you to look at the ground or forcing you to do anything. It is a bit silly to act like you only have two choices: to either stare at a person or stare at the ground. Pointing out that it's rude and asking you to stop is not the same thing as having actual laws against looking at another person. | /r/MensRights | 13/03/13 03:03 PM |
| 1 | Shaming tactics 101! Men who stare!!I guess is comes down to one issue on which we do not agree: I think staring at strangers is wrong, so therefore I think asking them not to stare is an assertion of boundaries. Shaming someone for their sexual behavior (by, say calling them a slut) is ALSO an invasion of boundaries. How, exactly, are your rights being trampled when a woman asks you not to stare at her? | /r/MensRights | 13/03/13 01:58 PM |

| 1 | Shaming tactics 101! Men who stare!!Not to look--to STARE. When someone stares at you it can be very disarming. By "stare," I mean sustained attentional focus on the body (not just eye contact in service of conversation). Listen, I glance at men I find attractive, but I do not stare, because I think it is rude. I have had men stare at me, and I don't like it. I don't feel traumatized by it, but I think it is rude, and I'm not the only one I know who feels that way.

| 1 | No "wife" approval needed in Michigan for a vasectomy anymore.I think a lot of people who are ignorant of the law are pressured all the time. It clearly happens to men (based on your experience) and I know it happens to women (I have worked in women's health). Often women are pressured to not have abortions and often given wrong information about the law...I think the main issue is that we all need to be aware of how the ideologies of individual professionals might be abused to influence citizens who are not educated on the law.

Like any health care rights issue, this is something I think we all need to protest. No one should require the permission of a partner to have surgery.

| 3 | Another female teacher who sleeps with student, gets no jail time.It's not just about statutory rape, it's about abuse of power. She was in a position of power, which she abused. I think standards should be different for professionals who work with kids who have power over kids. As a teacher, she should have recognized that it was not appropriate. EDIT for retrospect: I also don't think that only violent crimes should receive prison time. Are you saying Bernie Madoff shouldn't be in prison? | /r/MensRights | 20/02/13 01:39 AM |

| 1 | Why aren't there more homeless woman?my bad, I misread that part (I thought it sounded high!). Actually, homeless women are 10 times more likely to die than non-homeless folks (that makes more sense, no?). On a side note, homeless women have a life expectancy that is four years less than homeless men, and homeless women are more likely to die (though not ten times). Sorry for the mistake, thanks for pointing it out :) | /r/MensRights | 14/12/12 03:29 AM |
| 2 | Why aren't there more homeless woman?Families with children are the largest growing segment of the homeless population right now. Single men still far outnumber single women, but the number of single women is rising faster now than it ever has. While there are a lot of factors to consider (such as available programs for women with children), I think it's also important to note that homeless women are ten times more likely to die than homeless men (at least before age 45), which could account for part of the disparity, as well. | /r/MensRights | 13/12/12 11:35 PM |

How can I approach AND figure out if she's smart?I love the image of you asking for SAT and IQ scores prior to starting to starting a date. There are lots of indicators for intelligence. From my perspective, I like to see how a person debates a topic. That doesn't mean getting into a fight, mind you, just talk about things for which you have passion and see how she responds.

There's no way this discussion can possibly go in a positive direction. It's just going to be a bunch of people arguing over whether or not rape is worse than circumcision. Why compare them? To show us the gravity of the act? Well, using rape is a bad way to do it--from what I've seen of reedit, rape is casually equated with being down voted, being denied a tip at work, etc. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/12 06:16 AM |
| 1 | Objectification at the OlympicsI really don't want to defend NBC either, I am so with you there. :) When you compare the two pieces, consider this--one is an article written FOR Jezebel, and the other is an actual official promotional video put out by NBC for Youtube. Why are we equating these two? The day I see a three minute exploitation piece about male swimmer fan fiction on a major news network, I'll eat my hat. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/12 05:43 AM |

There's a reason they removed it--it looked like something a 17 year old slapped together for his you tube channel, not an official video produced by the network that is presenting the Olympics this year.

"Second-degree sexual assault to have sexual intercourse with a person between ages 13 and 16 if the actor is more than two years older" So I don't think the gender of the alleged assailant has anything to do with the charge-- in this particular case, anyway. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/12 02:20 AM |

I have had to avoid having tattoos, dyed hair and [other-than-ear] piercings because of my various jobs as a therapist. I have a Master's, yet I've been told I'll be "low class" if I put a streak in my hair or pierce my nose.

Kids need great teachers, and they also need teachers that model "non-traditional gender roles," including men wearing earrings, women with buzz-cuts, etc. I'm surprised your school will allow nose rings either way--mine never would for any teacher. | /r/MensRights | 02/07/12 11:26 PM |

Also, it seems like the writer is male (although I can't tell--I looked at the history, and I'm basing that assumption on the name "Thommy" so I could be totally wrong).

Or are you talking about women who get drunk with men and have sex with them and then regret it? The difference is a matter of consent.

That assumes that to be a man is to be a rapist in training. This is a men's rights issue, and a feminist issue (I prefer to refer to it as a human rights issue). Challenge the assumed stereotypes.

| 1 | Who Needs Feminism campaign - WTF?I'm saying it's normalized. It's a source of humor for many people. It's a casually bandied about term (e.g. "I totally got raped by that exam!"). I feel a lot safer in the U.S. than most countries, and I realize that rape is a daily reality for thousands of women in other countries where human rights are virtually nonexistent. But I don't understand how you can deny that American advertising, entertainment, and media coverage make light of sexual assault and violence towards women. It's everywh… | /r/MensRights | 15/04/12 02:13 PM |
| 0 | Who Needs Feminism campaign - WTF?BTW, I means Raped. Raped, silly. I don't know why you assumed I meant "rapist" except that maybe you were looking for reasons to pout. | /r/MensRights | 15/04/12 02:20 AM |
| -1 | Who Needs Feminism campaign - WTF?I really don't know why you are linking to a comic I have already read. "Every night, we are raped to sleep by the dickwolves." This statement is intended for laughs. Rape is not funny. I have lots to say about your other statements but I also have to go out...I shall return later... | /r/MensRights | 15/04/12 02:19 AM |
| -1 | Who Needs Feminism campaign - WTF?yes, I read the comic, and the fact that you asked me that demonstrates to me that you have no idea what I'm talking about. One of the ideas in the comic is that rape is hilarious. I don't think it is. And if you think it is, chances are you are not one of the people who are likely to be rapes. As a woman, I have a higher chance of sexual assault than men (at least, that's what stats say...who knows the truth? There is pressure on men to not report, so I have no idea). So I don't think reference… | /r/MensRights | 15/04/12 12:32 AM |
| 2 | Who Needs Feminism campaign - WTF?No, I think that people contribute to rape culture regardless of gender. It has nothing to do with him being a man (I can't speak for the campaign, I am only referring to a general sociopolitical idea). All I was saying is that people can contribute to a culture that condones sexual assault and abuse simply by buying into certain jokes, ignoring certain statements they hear, etc. It's similar to racism or any other ism--I truly believe that you have to actively combat prejudice when you encounte… | /r/MensRights | 15/04/12 12:29 AM |
| 6 | Who Needs Feminism campaign - WTF?I do, in how it is covered in the media (for example, the New York Time's coverage of that 11-year-old rape victim in Cleveland )and used as a punch line (I'm sure you remember that ridiculous Penny Arcade debacle). | /r/MensRights | 14/04/12 01:30 PM |
| 1 | Growing up with a feminist mother...Well, I can't speak for "all feminists" because they are individuals. However, I speak of feminism as an idea, a system, a hope that we can increase awareness of inequality and inhumanity to man. I'm not just bullshitting. I wasn't trying to argue with OP, just making a point that I think is valid. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 11:46 PM |
| 5 | Who Needs Feminism campaign - WTF?I think a lot of people misunderstand the term "rape culture" and think that saying one contributes to rape culture means they are responsible for rapes. That is NOT what "rape culture" means. It refers to the fact that rape and sexual assault are normalized and excused in our culture. This isn't just referring to the rape of women, BTW, but anyone's sexual victimization. Every time you laugh at a prison rape joke, every time you automatically think a rape victim is "exaggerating" or lying, you'… | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 10:14 PM |
| 10 | Growing up with a feminist mother...To be fair, feminism done right IS humanism, and it is about equality, not about division. Men are affected by sexism as well, and feminism helps men. It's not about "who has it worse" by any means, but about being more aware of the prejudices we hold about ALL genders, and about being willing to question things like imagery, verbiage, basic gender assumptions, advertising, ad infinitum. Not that I disagree with you about the awesomeness that men do, but as a feminist AND a proponent of human ri… | /r/MensRights | 12/04/12 08:49 PM |
