| 1 | Another author targeted for departing from ‘rape culture’ orthodoxy - by suggesting self sefenseSo what happens if someone can't defend themselves because they're drunk or overpowered? What if someone doesn't WANT to learn self-defense? I don't. I carry a taser when I meet clients (I'm a call girl) but I don't give a shit about learning how to psychically fight back. I just realized you must be confused because feminism seems to have it's own definition of the word 'promoting', which is something like 'forcing ideas upon people'. Example: "promoting the existence of patriarchy or rape cult… | /r/MensRights | 20/06/14 03:12 PM |
| 0 | Iggy Azalea notes that she is most frequently groped by women while crowd surfing. Maybe we should stop teaching girls that sexual assault/rape are only committed by men and that they are exempt?If a woman has the right to be upset if a male goes into their showers why does it make it taboo to be upset that a homosexual male can freely go into a male shower room. Well there's a difference between being uncomfortable and being upset, I don't know if you are making this distinction of ir you are conflating the two. I understand being uncomfortable (heck I'm uncomfortable being naked around anyone, even straight men) but I do not understand being upset that gay people choose to use the sho… | /r/MensRights | 20/06/14 01:10 PM |
| 3 | Iggy Azalea notes that she is most frequently groped by women while crowd surfing. Maybe we should stop teaching girls that sexual assault/rape are only committed by men and that they are exempt?It has nothing to do with whether people are aroused by what they see, it's about how comfortable people are being naked in front of other people. It would be a logistical nightmare to separate locker rooms and showers by both gender and sexual orientation. So if being naked in front of gay people bothers you, it's just easier if you don't use public locker rooms (or if you find a way not to display your intimate areas to anyone in the room). I have no idea what unisex locker rooms would accompl… | /r/MensRights | 20/06/14 11:40 AM |
| 10 | Another author targeted for departing from ‘rape culture’ orthodoxy - by suggesting self sefenseI also noticed the contradictions in how feminists treat rape victims. I'm not sure how to best explain it either, so this is going to be longer than I'd like unfortunately: Besides the refusal of feminists to encourage self-defense for women, there are two other strange things I noticed: 1) They propagate the notion that victims will not be believed. Listening to feminists, it's like the majority of society engages in victim blaming and justifies rapists. And yet, most people we know find rape … | /r/MensRights | 19/06/14 10:22 PM |
| 0 | Men Owe Women NothingI agree with you. If some idiot throws the "real man" rhetoric at you, I think it's fine to give them a taste of their own medicine and throw back "real woman" at that individual. But telling random women about what "real women" should do isn't the solution. It doesn't even matter if you're saying "real women" should have qualities that any decent human being is expected to have, it's still phrased like you are making gender distinctions. Even if you said something like "a real woman would be po… | /r/MensRights | 17/06/14 05:14 PM |
| 5 | Feminists N' Elliot, sitting in a tree...If I were being cynical, I'd say Elliott seems to have done feminists a favor, judging by how happy they are to exploit his actions to promote their movement. | /r/MensRights | 17/06/14 10:32 AM |
| 1 | In your opinion, what are the three most important Mens' Rights Issues?Do I look like I'm taking the easy way out if I just say the #1 issue, for me, is the lack of awareness about the problems and discrimination men face? At least if I could solve any problem men have, I would make it so everyone is aware of men's problems in society. But in case that answer is just a cop-out, I'll list the 3 issues that affect me the most personally: The demonization of male sexuality: it took me a very long time to understand that having sexual wants and needs doesn't make me a … | /r/MensRights | 17/06/14 05:09 AM |
| 2 | Psychologist's claims that under-fives are damaged by 'sleepovers' with their separated fathersAbsolutely. But I think rather than attack the sincerity of people who throw "the needs of the child first" to gain custody, we can go right ahead and attack the actual premise that the needs of the child should come first. "The needs of the child first!" "No! We never put the needs of the child first, why should it suddenly become the case when we step foot in a divorce court?" I think this might be more convincing than arguing "I'm a good father, my child needs me" -- people can just choose no… | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 11:45 PM |
| 1 | Psychologist's claims that under-fives are damaged by 'sleepovers' with their separated fathersIn this context, possibly. But in psychology, it can be legitimate issues such as a child having separation anxiety. But yeah, I'm really not happy how this woman makes it sound like these issues can arise from spending a few days with daddy and away from mommy. I don't want to criticize much without more information, but if I knew her sources and her exact words, I'd tear her professional credibility a new one. | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 11:34 PM |
| 11 | Psychologist's claims that under-fives are damaged by 'sleepovers' with their separated fathersThe whole "what's best for the child" reasoning needs to stop. It's not about what's best for the child and never has been. To give just one example, if we really put the interest of children above parents, then we would take children away from poor families and give them to wealthier families. You can imagine the outrage if that ever happened. What matters is protecting the children from unusual and serious harm. If children are abused or neglected, they're taken away from the parents. Do we ev… | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 05:55 PM |
| 9 | Psychologist's claims that under-fives are damaged by 'sleepovers' with their separated fathersseparating children from their mothers "reduces brain development" and creates a tendency toward "unhealthy attachment issues". I have a degree in psychology. This is wrong. Unhealthy attachment issues should only occur from separation from the mother if the child is traumatized by the separation. She makes it sound like any separation, even when the child isn't upset, can result in attachment issues. Also, children need to get used to being separated from their parents, otherwise they will deve… | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 05:40 PM |
| 28 | Female 911 dispatcher asks hysterical woman for more information and is vilified as dismissing a rape victimThis has been a complaint of mine with feminists for a while now: they refuse to understand how law enforcement and emergency services work when it comes to rape victims. Often, feminists complain that police officers judge and/or don't believe victims who report rape. I don't know every single case and I can believe that some cops have been real assholes to victims, but usually the reason the police asks tough questions is so they can build a proper case. 1) Coddling the victim can get a rapist… | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 12:04 PM |
| 5 | "Women Need To Be Educated About Sexual Consent, Right Now They Aren’t" Great article by Janet BloomfieldI think teaching both genders about consent is fine. The issue with "Teach men not to rape" (at least to me) is that it implies only men need to learn about consent. Also, these campaigns often express their message in a way that implies adults are too stupid to understand rape is wrong, which is offensive and untrue ("Teach people to respect consent" would be a far more polite thing to say). But if we're talking about teaching teenagers (both genders) about consent, as part of sex ed, then I se… | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 07:49 AM |
| 36 | Fathers Day Bull Shit put out by Nickelodeon passing around Facebook. (Screenshot)Child watching is important, but it's not more important (or harder) than a full time job. I hate feminists for always making things a competition of who has it worse between men and women. Can't we just agree that both responsibilities are hard and tiring and leave it at that? No, feminists just have to make sure women are seen as the victims by society. | /r/MensRights | 15/06/14 11:26 PM |
| 12 | Sorry, I'm confused, how is this not hate speech again? "You can't say anything because you're white and male."Here's a rebutal that works against this kind of reasoning: A girl in my class in high school made a presentation/speech on gay rights as part of an English course. Students could ask her questions or make comments after every section of her presentation; everyone was respectful, no bigotry, at worse just a bit of lack of tact due to lack of familiarity with the topic. Nonetheless, it wasn't long until she responded to someone with something along the lines of "You can't understand, you're not g… | /r/MensRights | 14/06/14 05:56 PM |
| 2 | I'm banned... so I won (they deleted the post too)Feminism also uses "forceful recruiting" to gain members. Basically: "If you support gender equality, then you are a feminist" "If you're a woman, you're a feminist". Cults use the same method for recruiting. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/14 07:33 AM |
| 6 | A Campus Dilemma: Sure, 'No' Means 'No,' But Exactly What Means 'Yes'? : NPRYou're spot on, but just to go a little deeper: according to feminism, women have no agency because men take it away from them. See, women are afraid of saying "No" because men are stronger and could beat them up. Or men could make fun of them. Or something. This is what the schrödinger's rapist bullshit leads to. Every man is a possibly violent, therefore women are intimidated by every men around them. As a result, all the interactions women have with men cannot be presumed to be consensual, th… | /r/MensRights | 14/06/14 07:15 AM |

| 9 | Movement reflection time, what is our movements most un-egalitarian belief and how can we rectify it?I haven't been here long but I've already noticed a few cases of people being heavily downvoted for saying things the majority here doesn't agree with. I completely understand downvoting someone who's resorting to logical fallacies or who just throws logic out the window. That stuff doesn't contribute to any discussion. But sometimes legitimate criticism can be raised, and I think instead of downvoting the people who raise it we should address what they say and explain why we disagree (or acknow… | /r/MensRights | 14/06/14 02:29 AM |
| 3 | I was kicked out of my campus feminist group for talking out about circumcision.I think SilencingNarrative made a nice point about genital mutilation being an issue for both genders. But in answer of your question, I wanted to add that should someone post here about FGM, it's possible I would think it's off topic (or after reading SilencingNarrative's response, I might try to reframe the discussion around genital mutilation of both genders). However I wouldn't display the attitudes OP received: I wouldn't laugh. I wouldn't question why the poster cares about FGM. I wouldn't… | /r/MensRights | 14/06/14 01:44 AM |
| 7 | #EndFathersDay was started as a troll by /pol/. Let's not get up in a tizzy about it, okay?You're giving feminists too much credit. They actually work like this: Information they agree with is always true. Information they disagree with is mansplaining. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/14 01:32 AM |
