| 24 | Women's magazine Marie Claire completely spins the Adria Richards story into a fictional tale of sexual harassment and sexism within the tech industry. Under the title 'When Geeks Attack'.In development companies, we've used "Brogrammer" to actually describe people who don't know how to actually code, but have gotten work by using the paint-by-numbers templates. | /r/MensRights | 20/05/13 05:05 AM |

| 1 | Getting married is a terrible decisionThanks for throwing out a stat. I question that site, however, because they say 41-50% of first marriages fail, then: 25% of adults experience a minimum of 1 divorce during the course of their life I did a cursory check, and it seems that around 75% of adults get married at some point of their life.(just quick Google results) If my math is correct, 25% getting a divorce from the 75% who get married would only be around 1/3, not 2/5-1/2.

| 1 | Getting married is a terrible decisionThat's more what I figured. It really means that 80% of people succeed at marriage, and 20% do it over and over. I am also interested in any stats regarding the rate connected to birth year and age of divorce, because I wonder if the rates have huge swings by generation. | /r/MensRights | 18/02/13 01:39 AM |
| 8 | Getting married is a terrible decisionQuick note, your phrasing is incorrect. Marriage has not failed for 50% of participants, just 50% of occurrences. People who get divorced multiple times skew that stat rather heavily. | /r/MensRights | 17/02/13 08:01 PM |
| 28 | Getting married is a terrible decisionI don't like the 50% end in divorce stat. There are a number of people who heavily skew those numbers. If I get married and stay married for my entire live, I count as 1 non-divorce, but Larry King has 7 ex-wives. That one person gets a much stronger weight in the numbers. I think the number should be represented by the % of people who get divorced, not the % of marriages that fail, because I would have to guess that divorce is like killing: after the first one, it becomes easier.

| 5 | Consent form for wife for Vasectomy?That is a curious angle. I had not considered the HIPPA ramifications to requiring another party to agree to the procedure. I had only considered the point from "Doctor doesn't want to get sued, I guess he has the right", but considering that, he may actually not even have the right to request that. Out of curiosity, can a doctor be sued/disciplined for attempting to coerce a patient to give up HIPPA rights? | /r/MensRights | 20/12/12 10:53 PM |

Many fields have different rules about it. Where I work, you include in the quotes only the exact things you want in the quotes.

Ohio BOY suspended...Sports are a totally different ballgame. depending on the activity, some restrictions can be beneficial.

| 0 | For a week, I've been falsely accused of sending rape threats to another redditor. Yesterday, a redditor threatened to dox me and tell my boss, mom and dad that I threaten women with rape. I reported it to the admins, and within an hour, they were both banned.again, I believe that (and if I am incorrect, please clarify this), the threats were not directly linked to the simple "or else". Instead, it was implied that removal of the account would be beneficial, but without any explicit "or else" being mentioned. For better or worse, that would make the situation outside the realm of blackmail. If I am wrong, and the conditional was explicitly stated, then blackmail is certainly the correct call. | /r/MensRights | 12/10/12 03:09 PM |

My general "go to" was either trim the chest area, tightly trim the happy trail, shave my upper thighs (figuring out where to stop there is more of an art than a science), and very tightly trim pubic hair, or to just keep pulling that razor until i stopped finding hair from thighs and above.

I can start by saying that leg hair is a bit of a wildcard, and men are not expected (usually) to have hairless legs. Sometimes yes, but more often than not, nobody cares about your legs.

Police department asks for more funding.I think he means a high number of serial rapists. From the 200, if you assume an average of 3 or 4 rapes per serial offender, you have up to 84 of the 200 kits accounted for, meaning that the other 116 would be from separate offenders who have not popped more than once in the database. That does not mean that there are only 21 identified people in the 200 kits. | /r/MensRights | 24/08/12 06:33 PM |

Until 1990, it was whites only, and by maintaining that they are a private club, they are permitted.

What is interesting is that my best friend, who himself had to fight a false rape charge 6 years ago, still refuses to engage in debate about the validity Men's Rights. I respect him as an intelligent person, and respect his counter argument (he thinks that currently there are worse issues, and would rather care about those), despite my protests… | /r/MensRights | 25/03/12 07:23 PM |
| 8 | Innocent man wrongfully locked in prison for 17 years is greeted with $100,000 child support bill when finally freedDoesn't matter if she truly believed she was right or not. She was wrong. Thus, it's a false accusation. I think we need to be careful about how we discuss a few things here. The accusation was not false in the way that false rape accusations are generally discussed here. While I agree that there was a wrongful accusation, in the general context of /MensRights, false rape usually refers to something more malice driven. Not saying you are wrong here, just that clarity is important. This was a fai… | /r/MensRights | 24/03/12 08:56 AM |

| 0 | MRAs and feminists end up distrusting each other because hateful comments of random people online. These random haters are assumed to be extremists from "the other side," but really they're mostly just random idiots.I don't think people think things through as much as you believe. I have met tons of people (men and women) who say "I support feminism because it's about equality", and wholly mean it. They also say thing to the effect of "If you want things to be equal, then why do you have to be a part of Men's Rights when feminism already strives for that". When I question the idea that the very word feminism is biased, it becomes a game of "Why should feminists start calling themselves by another name when … | /r/MensRights | 24/03/12 07:50 AM |
| 5 | Innocent man wrongfully locked in prison for 17 years is greeted with $100,000 child support bill when finally freedI will note that if I heard correctly, the woman had been raped, and picked him from a police line-up. Assuming that is what happened 17 years ago, she was likely traumatized, and her memory could have just been totally fucked. After she picked the person that she did believe (I am assuming that not all women want to send random men to jail, just as not all men are rapists) was the correct choice, her memory likely filled in blanks to make her honestly think she had the right person. For me, it … | /r/MensRights | 24/03/12 07:40 AM |

| 1 | False sexual harassment at work - what to doI find that RES tagging SRS-ers everytime they pop up (Silver, SRS) helps ever so slowly in marking the field to simplify life.

| 1 | (x-post /r/pics) This makes me sad; some men are very stupid and apparently like to have an inferior lifeI think that the idea is close, but should read something more along the lines of: This guy is a hero, he chose to save the person that he loved above himself. This has nothing to do with being a man or a woman, but being in love. Making the choice to save the person you love at the expense of your own life is fucking Epic. Regardless of gender, sacrificing yourself for another is a heroic act. Give this guy a fucking statue for being an awesome person.

| 1 | It's not sexist when there is something to gain [IMG]Just to clarify here, are you saying that people should get equal pay for unequal work? Sorry if I am misunderstanding, but if one person can do a job better (in this case, presumably men carry more weight than a woman, likely speeding up the job and increasing the profit of a company), they should still be paid equally because the job is the "same"? | /r/MensRights | 16/02/12 07:05 PM |

| 5 | What is the best way to convince men who deny the existence of discrimination against men?Sadly, I feel that just like people who must have something terrible happen to them to leave a church (or more accurately in this situation a cult), there is no way to externally convince most people. While inside the cult, they cannot see the other side, because their entire understanding of the world is based upon this notion. If someone one day finds out that the priest has been raping kids (or that the feminism argument does not hold up), the whole world around them ceases to make sense. | /r/MensRights | 24/01/12 10:14 PM |
| 8 | Is a school allowing girls to wear earrings but not boys a form of sexual discrimination?Only if the girls are permitted to wear the boys. If a girl can wear a skirt or pants, and a boy can only wear pants, then the dress code is discriminatory. That fight has been done many times, and it seems that the result is always schools giving up and saying boys can wear the girls skirt. I also believe that there was a case where girls could wear skirts or pants, but boys just pants. The summers were hot there, and a boy fought for the right to wear shorts. tl;dr Citation Needed. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/12 09:24 PM |
| 3 | Autism definition restricted, care limited, costs sharply reduced. And most of those denied health care will be men and boys. This after a move to reduce prostate cancer screening.I am saying that fixing a wrong definition is not an attack on men. If they said that prostate cancer was not a real disease, that is an attack on men, but the definition of autism was watered down, and stopped really meaning anything. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/12 01:55 AM |
| 3 | Autism definition restricted, care limited, costs sharply reduced. And most of those denied health care will be men and boys. This after a move to reduce prostate cancer screening.I want to start this off by saying that I understand that most of those effected by this will be male, however I do not feel that this one is specifically a MR issue. My mom is a Special Education teacher. She has spend the last 15 years of her life working in classrooms with variously disabled children, and when I lived in the same city, I would often come help her with some special projects. Having this background, I must agree that the definition of autism was made far too broad. Many of the … | /r/MensRights | 20/01/12 10:28 PM |

| 6 | Reasons why Males are in the decline in modern society? Need resourcesI think that anyone that needs to go to college to understand any Bachelors level coursework will never be educated. The only classes that were challenging in my undergrad were those that lack a "right" answer. The science and math classes are a giant joke, because the undergraduate level that is taught is just high school level. See, I can do that too. | /r/MensRights | 06/12/11 02:48 PM |
| 6 | Reasons why Males are in the decline in modern society? Need resourcesI agree, and wholly disagree. The issue that you are bringing up seems to be related very slightly to a rights movement, and more one about the government paying for college. I can tell you from my current experience, that I am better off with my BA (Theatre) working in Programming than many people that I know who got CS degrees. This is not due to the education exactly, but rather seems to be related to learning how to be a thinker. I actually think that vocational professions (Medicine and Com… | /r/MensRights | 05/12/11 08:05 PM |
| 18 | Reasons why Males are in the decline in modern society? Need resourcesMuch the same applies at university where standards have been significantly reduced and where spongiform subjects have been promoted over real subjects like science and technology. The other subjects are "real". Stating that a subject that lacks a concrete "right" answer is not a real subject is idiotic. That would nullify the entirety of literature, philosophy, and the arts. My current belief is that those real subjects, and the focus on them is one of the core issues in education. | /r/MensRights | 05/12/11 05:06 PM |
