I get the point you're trying to make, but I'm pretty sure I've never had much difficulty figuring things out about people in IRC after hanging out in there long enough. Oddly, in complete opposition to this blog's stance, all of the women I've known online from open-source projects I've been involved in have been great people who were highly respected members of the community and have turned into some of the best friends I've made from my involvement. They got paid exactly the same the rest of …	/r/MensRights	12/10/11 02:29 PM

I want more PEOPLE in open source, I don't care if they're women or gremlins as long as they're active contributing members of the open-source community.	/r/MensRights	12/10/11 02:27 PM
5	"Want more women in open source? Try paying them." Oh feminists, if you want women to be equal you should probably stop suggesting they require spoon feeding. Let's see, it looks like Mike is making $0 on this open-source project and Mary is making $0 on this open-source project, but Mike has a $140k/yr job as a senior software engineer for a major tech company that he juggles with his nightly patch commits on the open source project. Mary stays home with the kids (as we all know, the most difficult job in the world) and makes her patch commits during the day when the kids are down for nap time or watching TV. Obviously Mary feels there is a wage gap …	/r/MensRights	12/10/11 02:25 PM
1	This just in: you are a misogynist if you prefer not to have sex with women on their periods. Indeed, it is absurd to think that it has anything to do with misogyny.	/r/MensRights	03/09/11 02:55 PM
–	This just in: you are a misogynist if you prefer not to have sex with women on their periods. I'm going to go out on a limb and say if you're completely unwilling to even try it you're a big baby, but I don't think that has anything to do with gender equality, just weak stomachs and no sense of adventure.	/r/MensRights	03/09/11 12:18 AM
–	...but women were never GIVEN A CHANCE! Historically this theme comes up time and time again, although it does make you wonder what social factors are involved. It could even be a result of biological differences in gender, how the mind interacts with the body's hormones. But yes, it seems, in most situations, men seem to be risk-takers where women are not. It is rather interesting.	/r/MensRights	17/08/11 03:55 PM
–	After wife calls police to help her get into her home, officers enter apartment, shoot unarmed husband in stomach and kill him – despite wife stating she had not been assaulted or threatened Not sure about Canada, but in the US if you have an IQ over 130 you are automatically disqualified from entering the police force in most places. I'm not even kidding, they do a battery of tests on you, including a test similar to an ASVAB and an IQ test. Scoring too high disqualifies you before you ever even start doing training. If you're not an idiot, and you want to be in law enforcement, your best bet is to go study Criminal Justice, get a bachelor's, and apply to work at either the FBI or …	/r/MensRights	03/08/11 02:59 PM
2	As a man, this is how I demonstrate the insanity of ‘blaming’ and ‘slut shaming’ rape victims! Nicely said. I think this is just another symptom of modern society stepping away from embracing self reliance and personal responsibility. I apologize for my brevity, posting from my phone.	/r/MensRights	10/06/11 10:03 PM
2	Man ordered to pay £100,000 for children after ex-wife tricks clinic into using his frozen sperm. Get out your barf bags for this one. I'm not going to take the time to rebut your obviously ludicrous statements about how you're right because you're having a different argument than your opposition. It takes two to tango, the fact you keep replying shows you're engaged in this argument, the stage was set, and you can't simply say "I'm right because my point has nothing to do with what we're discussing". You can just drop that subject altogether if you respond further, because it's simply absurd. As to your "proof" which you faile…	/r/MensRights	31/05/11 02:36 AM
2	Man ordered to pay £100,000 for children after ex-wife tricks clinic into using his frozen sperm. Get out your barf bags for this one. It's trolling because you're inciting the argument, but failing to follow through. Good, let us know the results, till then you might want to revise how confident you are in your foundations. So, you're saying that reality (i.e. what actually happens) is less important than theory? You do realize there are actually laws on the books that are completely unenforced that date back over a hundred years in most states, many of them are absurd. Like laws stating it's illegal to perform fellatio, or it…	/r/MensRights	30/05/11 12:02 AM
3	Are you reluctant / afraid to publicly disclose being an MRA / supporter of men's rights? I'm open about any and all beliefs I have, and I have no problem having a discussion about them with anybody. I do take issue though with loudly proclaiming my beliefs. I only discuss them when it's relevant to the context of what's going on.	/r/MensRights	20/05/11 10:58 AM
–	Are you reluctant / afraid to publicly disclose being an MRA / supporter of men's rights? I had no idea this term existed, and I didn't really realize it needed to exist, until I realized this term was based in the context of using gender as a social construct rather than a portion of who someone is. TIL.	/r/MensRights	20/05/11 10:55 AM

12	Dying to be treated like on of the guys. I had a similar circumstance happen. I was attempting to join the Air Force, as a computer programmer, which is a REMF sort of position. At the same time, I understand all military personnel go through the same training and must be held to the same standard. I was disqualified during MEPS despite my perfect ASVAB scores because I had weak knees (couldn't duck walk) even though I had 4 years of JROTC in high school, several cadet commendations, and had completed the full course of JROTC summer sc…	/r/MensRights	18/02/11 07:14 PM
–	Are most relationships with women really like this? Damnit, all the awesome chicks I've met online have been Canadian. I used to visit regularly, but never had the desire to move there (I like my guns). I'm in my mid 20s and in Southwest Texas. Edit: My upper bound is kinda early-to-mid 30s, just to give you an idea. I'm fairly open-minded, but I just feel like I would be out of place in the peer group of anybody who is much older than that, and I wouldn't expect someone in that age range to feel right in my peer group either. It's just better fo…	/r/MensRights	17/02/11 03:44 AM
–	Are most relationships with women really like this? Link me to some sort of online bio for these seven women. Seriously. If they're in my area, I'm open to at least introducing myself. As I mentioned in my previous post: I'm also independent, work, and spend most of my free-time doing activities that enrich myself (hobbies, intellectual pursuits, charity). My dream woman is someone who is independent, works, and interested in pursuing some of the same interests I have. I'm not desperate for a sexual relationship, I'm interested in a meaningful re…	/r/MensRights	17/02/11 03:05 AM
1	Are most relationships with women really like this? Believe it or not, there are men out there who rate intelligence and kindness above beauty. The problem for many of us (as I've said before in other comment threads) is that we are usually ourselves more intelligent and kind, and not as beautiful. This limits our own opportunities to date, which results in somewhat of a perfect storm situation. I'm a smart, sometimes funny, guy, who has a good job, and has my own personal shit in order. However, I have little time on the dating circuit to find s…	/r/MensRights	17/02/11 02:59 AM
1	Man defends girlfriend from two female attackers, and gets this, "You don't fucking touch a fucking female!" [VIDEO] I consider my friends and family first above all else. They are an extension of self, and by definition, as a proponent of self-defense, I will defend them against any and all aggressors by whatever means are necessary. I don't care if an attacker is female or male, large or small, if you assault my family or friends next to me, I will stop the fight, and it won't be pretty for you. Luckily, I don't live in the ghetto or have trashy friends, so I rarely end up in situations where it's necessary …	/r/MensRights	03/02/11 10:01 PM
–	"We've told our boys to find a mom with kids. Don't ever find a man, even a man with kids. They're dangerous." Good to know. I guess that's why you're "that" guy.	/r/MensRights	15/08/10 05:14 AM
–	"We've told our boys to find a mom with kids. Don't ever find a man, even a man with kids. They're dangerous." I'm not afraid of law enforcement, I'm afraid of what law enforcement involvement will do to my life. I like my life and my lifestyle currently, and I don't think any positive change will come out of me getting arrested. I'd love to play the Internet tough guy and say I'd take every last one with me if they came after me, but the reality is there isn't much that can beat the radio. So, I do what I can to avoid giving law enforcement the opportunity to fuck me over, because law enforcement enjoys…	/r/MensRights	15/08/10 04:57 AM
–	"We've told our boys to find a mom with kids. Don't ever find a man, even a man with kids. They're dangerous." Because I'm a dude, apparently. I also can't really go around beating the shit out of women, or people will have a reason to fear me. Also, imagine the following interaction (chart, P = Policeman, W = Woman, M = Me): P: So what's the story, what happened? M: I was walking along, and this chick was in front of me in the parking lot, and she maced me, so I punched her. W: This guy is a total creep, he's been following me all day. I was afraid for my life and defended myself. Every 2 minutes someon…	/r/MensRights	15/08/10 04:00 AM
2	"We've told our boys to find a mom with kids. Don't ever find a man, even a man with kids. They're dangerous." It sucks, but then again, it's not permanent damage. It's better than getting shot or stabbed.	/r/MensRights	14/08/10 08:00 PM
–	"We've told our boys to find a mom with kids. Don't ever find a man, even a man with kids. They're dangerous." I've been maced 3 times because of this, twice in college parking lots (while in college, once wasn't on my campus though, neighboring campus) and once in the parking lot of my apartment complex. I've walked or biked to/from school/work for years, and this is a constant problem. People do say I look creepy, probably cause of my beard, but nonetheless I don't do anything to bother people or otherwise alarm them. Chicks overreact like crazy.	/r/MensRights	14/08/10 03:39 AM
–	I want to rant and have no where else worth telling this story... Are you scrupulous in your resume and interviews, to the point where you emphasize personal information on potentialities that you honestly do not know the likelihood of actually happening? Yes, I pride myself on honesty above all else. I actually just had an interview today, where I very honestly and very forwardly told them I had no prior experience or prior knowledge of the one of the technologies which they felt was important to the job. I pointed out that I had experience with some similar …	/r/MensRights	27/05/10 05:43 AM
–	I copied the "You are not a princess" blog to my okcupid.com journal for some discussion. It got a little out of hand so I invited the author to join in. She did.... The one comment that sums up all the detractors is this: "tl;dr Sorry shrink lady, be more concise. Your article is remains utter shite. ". Essentially, they're all saying "Hey, I didn't actually read what you said, but I'm going to say you're stupid and a misogynist anyway!" Utterly reprehensible how far we've come as a society where people find it acceptable to completely ignore reasoned arguments and respond in this manner, not to mention holding positions of entitlement. It's not a gender th…	/r/MensRights	07/01/10 10:30 PM
