14	Important: The White House's own numbers prove that one-in-five college women are not sexually assaulted Same here. I only guessed what it actually meant because it was an MR subreddit post.	/r/MensRights	23/01/14 04:19 PM
3	Not super-positive but not dismissive MRM Toronto coverage by the Huffington Post Well, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Parts of it were even somewhat supportive.	/r/MensRights	02/10/13 07:34 PM
1	Why men sit with their legs apart. (spoilers: it's not "privilege", nor simply your balls) Do you have sources on any of these?	/r/MensRights	18/09/13 11:14 PM
2	Feminist university newspaper article says there's no such thing as a good man in a patriarchy, and that all men oppress women by nothing more than existing. And more happy thoughts. I agree with you, and understand what you're saying - but to me those two statements are ambiguously worded. Something like "Most/All men held power" and "Most/All power-holders were men". As you worded it, both statements you made could take either meaning.	/r/MensRights	26/08/13 04:59 PM
7	Feminism is the remedy for men's issues? This is how feminism fails when it comes to men's issues, point by point. I don't get it. Did he make those replies up? Or are those real? I'm having trouble believing that those replies are real. Edit: Ah ok, they're paraphrases of the linked articles.	/r/MensRights	06/08/13 05:29 PM
1	Cosmopolitan (women's mag): How common is female on male DV? Of all the magazines ...	/r/MensRights	19/07/13 05:09 PM
0	"What Will We Concede To Feminism": UPDATE I was going to say - that's one thing I would agree on with feminism. Like, if you do the Bechdel test on hollywood films, you find they're rarely from a woman's point of view. This isn't oppression of course, it's the result of consumer choices which (in my opinion) reflect unhealthy cultural attitudes.	/r/MensRights	03/07/13 03:26 PM
1	That same old hypocrisy!! Maybe I don't know the right people, but I don't think I know anyone, feminist or otherwise, who would say both those things.	/r/MensRights	27/06/13 05:12 PM
1	The Injustice of Lifetime Alimony: The Ex-wife changes sexual orientation and is rewarded. What is 'no fault divorce'?	/r/MensRights	13/06/13 04:18 PM
2	The Injustice of Lifetime Alimony: The Ex-wife changes sexual orientation and is rewarded. I don't see it making sense at all in any situation. If I move out of my parent's house, they're not legally required to send me money. My previous living conditions has nothing to do with what anyone owes me.	/r/MensRights	13/06/13 06:12 AM
1	He told you that he was being challenged due to a gender identity issue? Yes I don't understand the significance of this article. It just makes me feel really bad for the guy.	/r/MensRights	08/06/13 01:34 AM
1	Woman picks out two random men on Facebook and falsely accuses them of rape From this article alone it's not clear to me how they know the allegations are false. All they said was that there was no incriminating evidence against the men. That should be enough to drop the charges, but it's also a completely different thing to now implicate the accuser for a crime. Doesn't that require evidence?	/r/MensRights	07/06/13 04:27 PM
4	My son's teacher has falsely accused me of physical abuse. Find out if she has children then make an anonymous claim so she has to go through the same BS. Right, let's waste government resources so that we can exact selfish revenge. This can only further endanger OP. If anything, it will only solidify the conviction of the teacher and anyone else involved that OP is capable of malicious and manipulative behavior. What do you suppose CPS would think of your brilliant plan?	/r/MensRights	01/06/13 09:00 AM
1	Patrick Stewart - "It's never the woman's fault in domestic violence." (Repost from /r/geek) Ok. I'll accept that.	/r/MensRights	01/06/13 08:23 AM
11	Patrick Stewart - "It's never the woman's fault in domestic violence." (Repost from /r/geek) Don't try and reassign meaning to what he's saying. He was responding to a comment regarding the blaming of victims. He was comparing our past and current understanding of domestic violence. He clearly described from his personal experience how it was commonly believed by other men that his dad's domestic violence was somehow the mother's fault. Today, we (including men) know that it's not - violence should never be an expected response to provoking someone to anger. That is what he was trying t…	/r/MensRights	31/05/13 11:03 PM
3	Wikipedia has it right People who use the term intend to say "an unjust preference of women to the detriment of men", but this incorrectly implies that sexism is "an unjust preference of men to the detriment of women" rather than "an unjust preference of one sex over the other".	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 06:57 AM
2	Hello MensRights. I have a few questions for active regulars here. (some back story) I'm married. Is that rare among MRAs?	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 11:22 PM
1	9 Reasons Why I Can’t Stand Modern-Day Feminists Can somebody clarify something? This article says there's a pay gap favoring men. I've heard elsewhere that payment favors women for people aged under 30. Am I to assume that this article is referring to people over 30?	/r/MensRights	21/05/13 11:28 PM
1	Calls to helpline for male Ωdomestic violence victims tripled when Soap Opera ran story about female abuse What was the episode about? What was the nature of the abuse? I'm just curious.	/r/MensRights	21/05/13 04:31 PM
1	Help! My mother is being indoctrinated by Extreme Feminisim While those four points aren't 100% accurate, they're not completely false either. Likewise, while I think feminism can be misleading, and regularly neglects to address men's issues, I think it does also identify problems that are real. 1) Women did have it pretty bad throughout history. The thing is - many (if not most) men did too. They just faced different issues, and feminism failed to recognize the men's issues. 2) & 3) While I'm not aware of an epidemic of violent pornography, violent porn…	/r/MensRights	14/05/13 04:36 PM
1	Jodi Arias verdict: GUILTY of 1st Degree Murder Thanks for the info. Do the MRAs find it interesting because she lied about domestic abuse to get away with her crime? Or is there something else going on?	/r/MensRights	09/05/13 03:56 PM
1	I would like to see statistics of male abuse. Are you talking about the reading list? I don't see any links labelled stats. Sorry, I'm just curious too.	/r/MensRights	09/05/13 03:43 PM
2	Video getting a lot of traction right now. Imagine the colossal shit storm if the roles were reversed. Dude, while I feel somewhat the same way, I don't think you've thought this through. That man didn't do anything illegal, and the women (who committed a crime) appear to have freely chosen to make the evidence available for public viewing. If there was any legal trouble on the horizon, that video would be gone.	/r/MensRights	09/05/13 04:50 AM
7	Jodi Arias verdict: GUILTY of 1st Degree Murder Can someone help me out? I'm not familiar with this case.	/r/MensRights	09/05/13 04:31 AM
2	It's time our society stopped demonizing male sexuality. What's the original poster?	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 06:46 PM
1	Committed feminist mother who marched at the barricades, committed to women's rights, now finds her own son facing unsubstantiated accusations by a former girlfriend and a nightmarish college tribunal These stories make my blood boil. I'm often tempted to unsubscribe from /r/mensrights because of how upset I get from the articles.	/r/MensRights	18/04/13 04:13 AM
1	Committed feminist mother who marched at the barricades, committed to women's rights, now finds her own son facing unsubstantiated accusations by a former girlfriend and a nightmarish college tribunal Read the article. She's perfectly aware that her son is not an exception.	/r/MensRights	18/04/13 04:09 AM
