| 2 | Julie Burchill talks of guilt after the death of her son Jack LandesmanHow hard up is her current husband? He has to go to bed every night knowing his wife slept with his sister, repeatedly, while his sister interned for her AND that his wife has left multiple families in the lurch. | /r/MensRights | 20/07/15 11:30 AM |
| 1 | Man faces 6 months in jail for disagreeing with feminists on twitter. Does anyone know anything more about this case?The same way it would be considered threatening if a stranger who has previously proclaimed their hatred for you posted an image of you with three knives in your chest and your adolescent son with a noose around his neck to your fb wall. Posting to your personal wall is a little different than making a video game and putting it out generally on the market. This has been done before, to Jack Thompson. That's where the kid got the idea in the first place. Apparently, though, it was free speech whe… | /r/MensRights | 17/07/15 02:25 PM |

Keep plugging looking for the needles in the haystack, my friend, while the rest of us are just doing the job. There's millions and millions of men. We don't need to dig to find the rare as unicorns feminist allies, we have more than enough numbers. | /r/MensRights | 17/07/15 02:23 PM |
| 1 | Two women talking on Facebook about divorceand this board should not tolerate sexism. You don't think this implies something other than down votes and debate? "Not tolerating" means it's not allowed, not that it's allowed with rebuttals. That would be "tolerating" the behaviour. | /r/MensRights | 16/07/15 06:35 PM |
| 6 | Man faces 6 months in jail for disagreeing with feminists on twitter. Does anyone know anything more about this case?I despise Sarkeesian, but it is definitely quite threatening to create a video game that depicts physical acts of violence being committed against a specific person like that. How is it threatening? The link between video games and violence has been nigh impossible to prove, and we've seen games that target other key figures in that space, like Jack Thompson, on multiple occasions and no one considers them a legitimate threat. There's dozens of games where real life people featured in the game, … | /r/MensRights | 16/07/15 03:42 PM |
| 2 | Two women talking on Facebook about divorceI would like to say that AWALT is by it's very definition a sexist statement It's definitely a generalization, generalizing from the actions of a few to the group they belong to, but unless it's differentiating between two pools based on sex, it's not sexism. and this board should not tolerate sexism. You're a big boy. Just debate it and down vote it and move on. You don't speak for the community and you're just one voice in the pile.

| 4 | Man expelled from university for calling ex-girlfriend "Psycho bitch", did not even mention her nameJust another example of intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation. When it's a man doing it, we consider it intrinsic, so it's his own personal motivation, his own personal drive, his own personal failing, his own personal weakness, etc. When a woman does it, though, there's always some external factor, like raw biology she can't deny, sociological effects like poverty she can't ignore, social effects like peer pressure she can't evade, etc. that explains away any and all responsibility for her actions… | /r/MensRights | 16/07/15 03:20 PM |
| 1 | Best and Worst Places to Be a Woman in Canada 2015I know three men on the rigs whose partners openly cheat on them while they are up there. Two of the women have longer term lovers, but one has slept with about a half a dozen men while he's out of town.

| 3 | Feminist outrage over new phone app which allows users to video their date agreeing to sex to protect them against rape claimsA few of them are campaigning for it but they haven't succeeded anywhere. See Scotland, where a lot of women's crimes are being changed to a type of community service, where you serve your time in a local regional jail, with relaxed requirements, and with time in the community that male prisoners don't get.

| 3 | A question considering the feminist reaction to the firing of Ellen Pao...It's called selective locus of control. If a woman fails - commits a crime, does a poor job, cheats, etc. - the locus of control is always external. It's always the job, her peers, her partner, poverty, drugs that were causing her to fail, not her own personal inability or lack of character. When they succeed, however, it's always an internal locus of control, ie. she succeeds personally despite all of the environmental issues she faces. It's the other way around for men. Whenever we fail, it's … | /r/MensRights | 13/07/15 12:52 PM |
| 7 | Feminist Tumblr: It’s Not As If They Hate Men or Anything Like ThatCome on, man. From the major feminist organization in Norway protesting the expansion of conscription to women to NOW lobbying against shared parenting initiatives in the US, there's plenty of examples of "ordinary feminists" that are visibly opposing equality in certain arenas. When national level organizations are doing it, who gives a fuck about the Tumblr feminists? It's clearly entrenched into the mainstream. | /r/MensRights | 12/07/15 02:15 PM |

| 2 | Sister called me "disgusting" for stating facts.She doesn't think that women have it easier. My default answer to this is: "Let's go down to the mall, find a busy spot with a lot of men and women around, and you can hit me - I'll even let you go first - and I'll hit you back. I promise I won't hit you harder than you hit me.

Every news story, title and lead is "BIG MAN HITS little woman."Until the altercation hits the ground, height and weight are usually liabilities. Not sure I necessarily agree. Reach is a huge advantage that can nullify a lot of speed. A small change in angle at your shoulder puts your hand in someone's face.

It's clear as a bell that the value for men in that statement is as labour or money or support, and by denying women that labour, money or support, you've now forced them to work harder, go without, or struggle on their own. Men's sanity, limbs and lives are clearly valued lower than what that … | /r/MensRights | 10/07/15 08:49 PM |

Every news story, title and lead is "BIG MAN HITS little woman."What if there were differences between men and women? So what? Any difference you could mine for a woman's reduced size could also be mined for a smaller man, ergo size cannot be the base point for legal culpability for violence. | /r/MensRights | 10/07/15 07:47 PM |

Every news story, title and lead is "BIG MAN HITS little woman."I'll give you a very simple example. It's legal to wear a purple shirt in all of the USA, but if you work at Wal-Mart you must wear a blue one. P gets fired for wearing purple shirt. All tho legal it's not a wrongful fire It's only simple because the requirement in the contract is within the basic standards for a legal firing.

Every news story, title and lead is "BIG MAN HITS little woman."You are incorrect. Yeah, no. The fact wrongful dismissal legislation even exists proves you wrong. Employers try and slip in all sorts of controlling and reaching practice into employment contracts, but they run afoul of the law all the time. If you want an example, look at the enforcement record of morality clauses in contracts or the temporal limits of non-disclosure agreements. If the employer truly had the power to put whatever the hell they wanted into a contract and it would be law, no one… | /r/MensRights | 10/07/15 06:50 PM |

Every news story, title and lead is "BIG MAN HITS little woman."When I taught martial arts and self defense, one of the things I drummed into my students, repeatedly, was that the human body was fragile as hell, and while training improved your odds, it wasn't any kind of guarantee. Major blows to the head virtually always concuss, shock kills lots of people with otherwise survivable wounds, dislocated or broken limbs are pretty much debilitating, knives are fucking scary, etc. | /r/MensRights | 10/07/15 06:08 PM |

Every news story, title and lead is "BIG MAN HITS little woman."Unfortunately, it does. It depends on your definition. Nothing stops the actual physical firing, but legislation enables employees to sue for wrongful dismissal after the fact and get some possible compensation in many states. | /r/MensRights | 10/07/15 06:04 PM |

Every news story, title and lead is "BIG MAN HITS little woman."Nothing changes the fact that until that first punch gets thrown, there's no violence.

Especially if the man in question was half his size As a really tiny guy that has seen pretty regular physical altercations because of bullying ... baloney. If this was a 5'5" man being belligerent and causing havoc, the larger man would have been excused twenty ways from Sunday for taking care of business and forcibly ejecting him from the premises.

(TW: Slate)In a world seething with innumerable craft breweries, some producers resort to bawdy puns to catch someone's attention for their product on the shelf. Big deal. They've nailed religion relentlessly for years and it stands to reason that eventually every touchy subject will get hit.

That's not in dispute. What's in dispute is why it exists. Feminists and their allies contend that the gap exists because of discrimination and use it as a bludgeon to show exactly how biased and discriminatory our society is. The rest of us have figured out that there's multiple studies, across multiple nations, that control for a lot more factors than a simple average wage by gen… | /r/MensRights | 06/07/15 05:06 AM |

Men still receive no funding at all for any level of help to escape domestic violence from women. In Australia men are now worth less than dogs.Baggage that comes with the movement ... you couldn't have betrayed yourself as a concern troll any better than that, my friend. It takes a special kind of mental gymnastics to argue that the Men's Rights Movement isn't the best group to discuss and lobby for men's rights.

Men still receive no funding at all for any level of help to escape domestic violence from women. In Australia men are now worth less than dogs.The majority of family and domestic violence is committed by men, therefore the majority of resources needs to be focused on the majority of victims. It always blows my mind how people will on one hand, quite easily toss away police statistics when those stats imply that events like rape and domestic violence are quite rare in modern society, because we know that those police statistics aren't accurate.

Um, no, both the complainant AND the suspect were OFFERED a polygraph and suggested to take it. Just declining to take it wasn't enough to have you called a fabricator, you had to openly recant the allegation, too. | /r/MensRights | 02/06/15 05:56 PM |

A man killed his wife and kids, then killed himself. In his suicide letter, he said that he killed them to protect them from poverty, etc. The initial response in my social circle was several women associated with my sister basically coming to the conclusion that there was domestic violence, that she probably stood up to him, threatened to leave, etc. and that this was just another exam… | /r/MensRights | 29/05/15 03:26 PM |

There's actually two patients in that birth, not one, and while the second's rights don't come into existence in most jurisdictions until they clear the birth canal, they are most definitely a patient, and they are most definitely a minor patient that has TWO legal guardians there.

Equality of opportunity does not equate to equality of output. Men's greater physical strength means that we'll likely see them cluster into jobs that require it or benefit from it, even when there isn't some minimum standard that some people cannot meet, and that's perfectly fi… | /r/MensRights | 26/05/15 04:10 PM |

Attorney remarks on "an epidemic of false sexual assault allegations"So, what you're saying is that we all pretty much accept that some women lie about it, but despite that belief being prevalent and endemic in society, we still opt not to prosecute when we have clear examples staring us in the face?

When they split, the guy moved from Cornwall in the far SW of England, to Suffolk, on the far SE of England. It's no surprise to me that shortly after a divorce, a move of that magnitude results in some time where you don't see your child. When I moved home to Alberta from Ontario, it was a full two years before I could afford to even fathom visiting my child because I came home to a low-end retail job and couldn't afford to live, let alone fly out for a visit.

This one ran his 350M dollar a year charity so that he could go on making investment income. I think she had a pretty good case to make for half that cash. | /r/MensRights | 27/11/14 08:53 PM |
| 1 | This was in a subreddit had upvotes in the thousands, but ended up deleted. Men's feelings are getting suppressed. As a man, daring to speak up of fears is bad if it puts pressure on or otherwise inconveniences women.We're all just humans, and we're a flawed bunch, unfortunately. The alternative is to give up and not even live, and while that may seem legitimate and you can cobble together a decent existence if you work hard and get educated ... I've been in both situations, happily single and happily married, and I'll take married every day of the week. Your view may vary, of course, but there's a synchronicity when you get the right person in place, like you can handle just about anything. I support her, s… | /r/MensRights | 27/11/14 06:32 PM |
| 28 | This was in a subreddit had upvotes in the thousands, but ended up deleted. Men's feelings are getting suppressed. As a man, daring to speak up of fears is bad if it puts pressure on or otherwise inconveniences women.Exactly. I pored through and stopped here: "The entire list is nothing but ridiculous MRA stereotypes about women. There's spermjacking, gold-digging, using sex for leverage, women hate men, women think men are stupid, women think men should never show emotion, women just want to use men for physical labour, women always complain, women don't want to have sex. It's a steaming pile of blatantly misogynistic bitterness." Seeing as I can find legitimate examples of all of those behaviours with pret… | /r/MensRights | 27/11/14 06:23 PM |
| 10 | Father gets 36 years in prison for taking his son. Grandfather gets 27 years for helping.He had access enough to his son to be able to take him for an unsupervised camping trip and yet never came back. There's far more here than simply wanting to be with his son. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/14 10:48 PM |
| 6 | Feminist friends have been passing this one around facebook. Thought you guys may like it.Well, why did the connection between clothing choice and victimization ultimately get made in people's minds? Because those clothing choices were ultimately associated with a larger concept, sexual licentiousness, by the people who made the error, right? Ultimately, that's the same failure in logic that had feminists associating Taylor's shirt with a larger concept like misogyny, or institutional sexism. It's just clothing, and expanding what that clothing "says" to grand, reaching and expansive… | /r/MensRights | 20/11/14 04:23 PM |
| 11 | The contrast between what is acceptable depending on which sex it's coming from really bums me outI've never seen a woman shame a man for being short to his face. Wow. You must not be a short guy. If I had a buck for every "Napoleon Complex" comment I've heard over my lifetime (I'm 5'6"), I'd be rich. I've had people comment about my suitability as a dating prospect in front of a room full of people. I've had my date tell me to my face I'm "too short to date". I walked out on that one and stuck her with the bill. It's not common, and most women aren't brave enough to say what they really mea… | /r/MensRights | 18/11/14 10:03 PM |
| -1 | Pick up artist Julien Blanc, expelled from Australia, barred from Brazil. Canada, Britain planning to bar him too, due to feminist change.org petitionsI do not have any earthly idea why anyone in this forum would support this guy. I don't support him, his message or his methods, but what I do support is a couple of basic principles that I think perhaps come into play. The first is due process. We're all innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around, and while there are videos up that imply criminal behaviour, we're all entitled to our day in court to defend ourselves against such accusations in a neutral playground. Until that happens… | /r/MensRights | 13/11/14 05:24 PM |

They are grown adults, not children. | /r/MensRights | 12/11/14 04:25 PM |

| 1 | We should stop putting women in jail. For anything.Yeah, it's clear you know next to nothing about actual incidence rates. For every violent crime, there's hundreds of petty thefts and robberies and men are behind virtually all of those. Men are behind most of the common assaults, too, and they are an order of magnitude above the level of sexual assaults. I think it's time for you to face up to the reality that testosterone works ... well. | /r/MensRights | 09/11/14 08:00 PM |
| 1 | We should stop putting women in jail. For anything.All genders and races commit crimes equally. Not a chance. If you honestly believe this, what you're contending is that you can have 49% of your population filled with 20-25x as much of our primary androgen governing aggression and sexuality, and despite that measurable gap in that hormone, there will be IDENTICAL criminality between the two pools. That's so naive it's frankly laughable. Go read some rat studies using testosterone or read some studies on steroid users and their increased crimina… | /r/MensRights | 09/11/14 04:30 PM |
| 1 | We should stop putting women in jail. For anything.Done preaching? I'm talking about how two equally sized pools of people need to commit crimes at the same rate to justify equal incarceration in a fair system. If there's any discrepancy, whatsoever, in how often one of those pools commits crimes relative to the other one, purely equal incarceration is no longer "fair", it's unfair. | /r/MensRights | 09/11/14 04:58 AM |
| 1 | Are we focusing too much on anti-feminism and too little on actual men's issues?I think that it's just a difference in how you're both using the term. Some people reserve oppression for a wide-scale and quite deleterious set of circumstances, so stuff like California's rape law where it's only affecting a small subset of men that will be accused isn't really considered oppression. Some people use the term for ANY deleterious circumstance, whether it's minor or major, affects all men or just some men ... doesn't matter. To me, you sound like this is your stance. | /r/MensRights | 07/11/14 09:23 PM |
| 1 | We should stop putting women in jail. For anything.They should equal men in numbers imprisoned. Only if they commit the equal number of crimes and of the same type. Everything else on your list I agree with, but this one is directly tied to individual choices. | /r/MensRights | 07/11/14 08:52 PM |

The accounts solely created to seed this subreddit with intentionally inflammatory and anti-feminist posts, so they can further inflame with aggressive commentary using names like "joebob-MRA" sure do. Actual Men's Rights advocates? Not so much. | /r/MensRights | 07/11/14 06:32 PM |

| 2 | Globe & Mail: Sorry, we haven’t reached a ‘watershed’ on violence against womenHere's a thought ... when a hot button topic comes along, make sure the writing staff know that if they have personally experienced something and thus will be coming at the topic from a very emotional standpoint, that perhaps it is best that they recuse themselves from the discussion, lest they let their own personal experience dim their neutrality. I'm sorry that author had to go through what she did, but her personal experience cannot (and should not) be extrapolated to even "some women", let … | /r/MensRights | 05/11/14 09:15 PM |

She whispered, "We could totally fuck like this." and then jumped off. She and her friends were howling. Another time, two women got on either side of my brother in an elevator and both licked his face in unison before bolting off when the door opened.

| 3 | Dad in Spain has been ordered to pay child support to daughter aged 29. Spain seems like a country to avoid.The headline doesn't quite match the content. She's a full time student, and there's many more countries than just Spain that mandate child support continue past the age of majority if there's full time schooling going on. Here in Canada, it's done on a province by province basis, and while my province (Alberta) chose to cap it at a four year degree or roughly 22 years of age, the province I left to move here (Ontario) has no upper cap. If your kid goes to the PhD level or gets multiple degrees … | /r/MensRights | 30/10/14 07:13 PM |
| -1 | The recent "cat calling video" has got a point, right?Well, about 3.5% of women say this is a daily occurrence or better for them, so perhaps she falls into that minority that sees more of this activity than the average woman does. Or, perhaps, as her father you're more attuned to it than a neutral observer might be, or perhaps you have a different standard for what you consider harassment. The guy looking back over his shoulder to check out her butt or poking his buddy to point her out would piss off most fathers, but it's not harassment. It's har… | /r/MensRights | 30/10/14 07:05 PM |

This video was 90s long out of 10 hours of footage, which is 0.25%, not 1%. That means 1.25 hrs spread out over an entire year, not 5. 75 minutes in a year means about a minute and a half a week or 4 minutes a month. And even that's high! When polled, most women say they don't see this issue (35%) or have seen it 1-5 times in their life (60%).

| 7 | The recent "cat calling video" has got a point, right?I can agree that people shouldn't harass random other people in the street, acknowledge that it happens, and yet still have issues with the video. My issues are: It's commonly misrepresented as being typical. Polls and studies of street harassment show that most women experience this a few times in their life and about a third say they've never experienced it at all. A small percentage see a lot of it, so this video is more representative of that small subset, rather than the norm. It could easi… | /r/MensRights | 30/10/14 05:15 PM |
