6	Does anyone else experience 'emotional' misogyny and have tips on how to combat it? You're not alone on this. That's why I was relieved to find this community - I believe most "evil" comes from trauma or ignorance - nothing innate. Everybody deserves empathy, even the ones you dislike. I've found it hard to connect with some other leftists because they will agree with this statement, but then generalize and stereotype men in their next sentence. When I was very young, the court system placed me with my physically and emotionally abusive mother over my even-keeled father despite…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/08/23 09:23 PM
44	who are some male heroes from history that you admire? Alan Turing was who I thought of as soon as I read your post title as well, haha. Near Olympic level athlete, mathematical cryptographic genius, national hero, what's not to love? I'm also big on Eugene Debs. I do generally agree with the notion that hero worship is unhealthy and unrealistic, but there's a difference between following somebody's example and wholly endorsing everything they've ever done as an individual.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/03/23 01:34 PM
3	Pushing Kids Into Transgenderism Is Medical Malpractice I know this is kind of a fringe piece, but it does give you a look into the other side of the trans rights issue. At this point, if I were a doctor, I'd be tempted to just turn away young transgendered patients. It seems like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" type situation. Give out hormones or perform surgeries, and I'm doing unneeded, permanently damaging work while enabling a false political movement. Don't do it, and I'm cruelly turning away somebody with a legitimate medical need o…	/r/MensRights	23/09/16 05:58 PM
–	Student 'diversity' officer who banned men from meetings and tweeted #killallwhitemen KEEPS her taxpayer-funded job despite petitions calling for her to be removed. Holy shit, this is legitimately enraging to me. Whenever I read about these kinds of people, I always calmed myself down by telling myself "These people are extremists, and can't behave like this in public if they want a job or to be accepted into society. It's okay. They're contained to their online echo chambers, and their cartoonishly bigoted ideology will not be tolerated anywhere else." And now I see this. What the fuck? That is all I've got to say. What the fuck.	/r/MensRights	28/05/15 02:39 PM
–	I used to think Wil Wheaton was cool I hated him in Star Trek, I hate his shitty circlejerky "nerd" online presence, I hate him in his contemporary cameo roles... And my other trekkie friends could never really understand why. But here we go, here's what I needed, a solid piece of evidence. He's such a lame, bottom-of-the-barrel, bandwagon sellout. From the bottom of my heart - fuck you, Wil.	/r/MensRights	21/01/14 07:56 PM
7	Sexual Assault quiz is a little biased... Reminds me of how the HR orientation for my current work position made me watch this video, then asked in a multiple choice quiz - "Were men or women more likely to intervene in this situation?". The answer was obviously "Women", as you could see in the video, where they thoroughly stroked those girls' egos for having spoken out against the racist actor, even going as far as to call them "heroines". It's just really damn frustrating - the overall message or lesson in these kinds of things are po…	/r/MensRights	09/12/13 09:59 PM
12	Get a load of this: Man tells of girlfriend in /r/askmen getting upset about not being able to find used condoms in the trash can containing his sperm. What I dislike about that thread is the fact that it's filled with women who are quick to jump on this guy for his (admittedly excessive) practices, and use the word "trust", but don't seem to understand the nature of trust in this context. In a situation where one party holds all the cards, isn't it natural to be more distrusting? She has the power to get an abortion in the event of an unwanted pregnancy on her part, OR lie to him about taking the pill for a desired pregnancy on her part. He, o…	/r/MensRights	03/12/13 09:01 PM
1	Colleges offering credit to put feminist viewpoints on wikipedia Reminds me of how the Men's Rights Movement article has had the sentence "The men's rights movement's claims and activities have been critiqued by scholars and others, and sectors of the movement have been described as misogynist." for months now, and the statement still hasn't been taken off, even after months of edit wars, talk pages, arguments, and comparisons to comparable women's rights articles. I'm disgusted by how ubiquitous women's studies/feminist theory is in academia. It lends them s…	/r/MensRights	30/10/13 06:29 PM
7	Dr. Helen Smith schools tradcon douche bags on Fox TV Thank goodness we have a couple of good female advocates like Helen Smith and Karen Straughan. I was so happy and relieved to hear those words coming from her. She actually gets it.	/r/MensRights	30/10/13 05:12 PM
14	Reddit is waking up to feminist falsehoods by rejecting the myth that men make more money than women for the same work. Where I work (About 200 person company) the 25 or so cushy business office and manager positions all exclusively belong to women. The owner and general manager are both male, and most of our people out on their feet and doing labor are male, but the actual nice, high paying, information-centric jobs, that don't have a ton of responsibility tied to them? All female. And their jobs are not hard. (I'm the one-man IT department). It makes me so angry when I hear feminists rattle off about the wage g…	/r/MensRights	13/09/13 02:18 PM
–	About the "Women in Tech" thing DING DING DING. I agree completely. I've seen it myself. A good friend of mine's girlfriend was once having trouble with an introductory programming assignment (simple math and C++ syntax), and I couldn't believe it. The assignment was old news for me - beyond old news. I had been programming and scripting since way before high school, and I was able to breeze through most programming classes by the time college rolled around. Nothing against her personally, or women in general, it's just a fact…	/r/MensRights	10/09/13 04:25 PM
2	Start "Don't be that girl" posters on more college campuses. I'm so excited. We're finally getting noticed! I don't even care that most of the attention is negative, we're finally fucking getting noticed. Girlwriteswhat showing up on TV, the reaction to Helen Smith's new 'Men on Strike' book, this poster controversy... We're stirring up some shit. I hope this doesn't all go up in smoke. We need to get this train going. I will try to put up some of these posters myself!	/r/MensRights	12/07/13 02:08 PM
3	How often were you punished or treated with suspicion or paranoia growing up because you were a boy? I know how you feel. We're supposed to be these pillars of strength and reliability, we're supposed to be the targets that can be attacked, and tirelessly accept any additional burden we're given, but we can't. The truth is that we're human too, and we have a breaking point. The difference is that once we reach that breaking point, nobody springs up to console us or tell us it's okay, or meaningfully help us in our times of need. We're supposed to be able to take it. And everybody nervously turn…	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 04:51 PM
7	So it's ok for a guy to be a need but not a woman? What other excuses will people find to explain why women don't do STEM fields? Oh, it can be annoying. I mean, I can and will talk about how a mechanical hard disk operates or how network share permissions interact for hours, but I'm also a big guy who works out, eats well, and has good hygiene/fashion sense. There really isn't much of a basis for the nerd stereotype. Women won't go into STEM fields because of their own derogatory attitude toward it. And thank you for saying this. For all the "geek is chic" kind of glorification of us, we're still seen as unattractive and …	/r/MensRights	27/06/13 07:23 PM
27	So it's ok for a guy to be a need but not a woman? What other excuses will people find to explain why women don't do STEM fields? As a sysadmin who got where I am by toying with computers alone in a dark room for most of my youth, I really hate this attitude. It is nobody's responsibility to pique your interest in something. I got into computer science because I liked it. I read forums and tinkered and fixed machines and programmed and automated and explored. I gained perhaps 15% of my skillset through classes and certifications, the rest was learned through self-study and personal interest. I didn't have any friends who t…	/r/MensRights	27/06/13 02:48 PM
3	I don't know where else to turn. As a child who was in a situation very similar to this one (abusive bi-polar mother obsessively keeping me away from a divorced father), this really gets to me. I wish my dad had cared this much about my well being, and had fought this hard for custody. You sound like a great father. When I was little, I tried to communicate your daughter's sentiments to my own father, but he didn't take me this seriously or try this hard. I didn't take any of the steps required to get away from my mother becaus…	/r/MensRights	25/06/13 08:08 PM

1	Turning Boys into Men A very good older post that I feel is relevant This issue has been hard for me to deal with personally. I have so much pride, and am so used to everybody telling me to "man up" and "stop whining" and reacting negatively to my expression of emotions, that it takes a lot for me to ask for the help that I need, or share the emotions I feel. A thoughtful post, OP.	/r/MensRights	13/06/13 03:55 PM
21	14 y/o firmly and calmly stands up to his mother so he can go live with his dad. (Possible domestic violence, false allegations) God, as the son of a abusive bipolar woman that unfairly won custody of me, this video is bringing up some bad memories... The emotional shaming. Parker never said anything really negative or insulting to her, and in fact, was quite cordial. He said "Ma'am", he waved to his brother, he repeated his statements firmly, and just didn't roll over for her. That's it. Still, she claims he's being "ugly" to her, and she tries to play the part of the victim. I remember my mother doing this constantly. A…	/r/MensRights	09/06/13 08:45 PM
5	I have a girlfriend of 6 years, marriage is something on the cards at the moment. I've said that I wont get married unless we get a prenup, she said that it's ridiculous and wants to get married without one. She's not budging, should I give up on the idea of marriage? I'm with you. No prenup, no marriage. Obviously, this is your decision, but I personally wouldn't proceed. If she really loves you, and the prenup is fair (considering current household contributions), then I think there's no reason to refuse to sign one. It doesn't mean you don't love her, it doesn't transform the union into a cold and calculating contract, and it's not going to change how the marriage operates if you two never divorce. All it does is level the playing field if you do. She's pr…	/r/MensRights	09/06/13 05:29 PM
12	A Feminist admits Feminist men turn her off. I can't believe I went so long in my life believing women were largely attracted to this kind of behavior. It pains me to think of all the other young men getting indoctrinated into acting in this self-damaging way and then having to slowly learn the truth for themselves.	/r/MensRights	03/06/13 08:48 PM
2	I'm new around here, and just saw something on facebook which made me seek this page out. Yep. All you really need to do is ask yourself "If the genders were reversed, would this behavior be considered acceptable to the public?" every time you witness inter-gender acts of cruelty, and suddenly a lot of bullshit that's propagated in modern society becomes readily apparent. Due to my heavily feminized upbringing, I sometimes don't even think about or second guess things like this when I see them.	/r/MensRights	03/06/13 08:42 PM
458	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo Reading that article was like taking a stroll through a park on a pleasant day with a cool breeze, and suddenly having a brick dropped on your head. She was making sense, and I was feeling for her situation, then she said this: I cringe when I hear well educated, successful women refer to their "choice" to spend more time with kids rather than stay on a high-powered career track. They should never have to make that choice in the first place. Instead, we need to recast the very nature of those to…	/r/MensRights	27/05/13 05:01 PM

2	Samsung portrays men as unevolved slobs. That line made me so angry. I can't believe we take people like this seriously in our society. And from a college professor, no less... I guess I shouldn't be surprised she's a women's studies professor.	/r/MensRights	24/05/13 04:07 PM
3	Stunning college degree gap: Women have earned almost 10 million more college degrees than men since 1982 I wonder how long it'll be before the governments of developed, academically active countries realize this is a problem. Women currently earn approximately 58% of the degrees according to this article. Will women have to earn 70% of the degrees for someone to notice? 80% of degrees? It's not even about those "easy" solutions like bringing more men in via incentives or affirmative action - we just need the educational system to be less hostile towards men. Women are fine. They're people just like…	/r/MensRights	24/05/13 01:41 PM
1	The Wikipedia page calls us Misogynist in the lede. Let's build a case against the biased editors and "Robert Young" them. Exact text from the lede's last sentence: Some MRM groups have been described as misogynist. Oh! But it's okay, because it's a weasel word! It's technically correct, because of fringe groups X and Y! It provides context for the later portions of the article! It's not biased at all! Someone ought to add "Some feminist groups have been described as misandrist." to the bottom of the feminism article just to capture the reaction it'd give. $50 says the change would be reverted in less than 30 minute…	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 03:09 PM
2	Why women cheat: To go on a journey of self discovery. (Apparently) I was going to post the same quote. I don't know what rock the author's been under, but from my perspective, these men have gotten plenty of flak for cheating. If anything, I'd be inclined to say the reverse of what the author said is true. A common societal preconception when women cheat is that it was the man's fault in some way, because he didn't do something right, or she wasn't getting the attention she deserves.	/r/MensRights	18/05/13 06:28 PM
