| 1 | A New Sexual Revolt Is Underway at British Universities; some male students are refusing to attend their university’s sexual-consent classes, and I reckon this could be the first salvo in a sexual uprising against the gender-studies prudes now running (and ruining) student lifeSupersede is correct. It comes from the word supersedere and is not spelled with a "c". | /r/MensRights | 03/11/15 11:43 PM |

Allow me to educate you on the nature of appearing condescending: It is impossible to appear condescending unless there is an acknowledged relationship where one side is superior to the other. I certainly didn't think of myself that way initially, which means any appearance of condescension was acknowledged by you subconsciously, and therefore you attempted to justify your inferiority by accusing me of bei… | /r/MensRights | 07/05/15 08:13 AM |

"The earth isn't 6000 years old because you're stupid" is completely ad hominem. It doesn't address the argument (Which wasn't even an argument because your straw man didn't have evidence to substantiate its proposition.) and the material of the rebuttal is entirely a personal attack.

If you have no respect for the person you disagree with, you can't expect them to have any respect for you. Sure, you can have a wonderful argument of back and forth gainsaying, theatrics and emotional bleeding, but please don't expect to be taken seriously.

Try thinking like your target market - you can't assume that they'll react the same way you will, otherwise they'd be on your side already. Also, I think Western culture can resonate with the psychotic girlfriend archetype quite easily, Fatal Attraction/Gone Girl are pretty popular, no?

| -8 | I made a poster on gender symmetry in domestic violence: "A Woman Can Do Anything a Man Can Do"That's the entire point - the poster works off the misguided assumption that the picture will elicit sympathy and therefore garner attention.

| 3 | Social Justice Warriorette: Sexual Consent Is Meaningless, Because Sometimes "Yes" Means "No"This was actually covered in the Official Sexually Correct Dictionary under the entry "Yes means No". There was a huge outbreak of political correctness in the '90s, though nowhere as bad as now, and I believe it appeared under the infamous Antioch College's sexual assault policy. Might have been part of the "any sexual encounter a woman finds unsatisfactory is rape". That dictionary is full of rabid feminist gems and has quote sources, I should dig it up for references. | /r/MensRights | 05/05/15 07:10 AM |

If you identify and live as a man and you aren't actively engaging with the women around you for equal space and rights then you're a part of my problem as a woman."Some loud feminists will always be angry that anything is not exclusively about women, just ignore them and focus on the ones that don't treat gender like a form of original sin. They want attention, don't oblige. | /r/MensRights | 05/05/15 06:19 AM |

Here’s what the data actually show.This might sound weird, but I wonder why single mothers in America don't band together to raise their children if 2 parents are necessary for the well-being of a kid, but a father specifically isn't.

Get off your cross - Women have always historically and categorically in almost every single culture been treated as more valuable than Men - there is NO modern culture which has survived to this point by prioritising the welfare of men over women and children.

She can be sued for slander or libel, but not perjury. The burden of proof is on her to show reasonable evidence that a crime occurred. The current evidence does not substantiate her account of the details, therefore she has failed to establish a crime occurred in the first place and any argument treating the alleged crime as a fait accompli is fallacious. | /r/MensRights | 25/03/15 06:50 AM |

Greer has lots of opinions you probably wouldn't like - she's famously said "English culture is basically homosexual in the sense that the men only really care about other men." and "Women have very little idea of how much men hate them."

| 2 | I see articles about young girls being "sexualized" all the time, but never about boys.Hahaha, sorry. I did mean "why the woman who wrote this book is important", though (she's one of the most influential core feminists). To be fair, she did get blasted for making the book, though - but I think that's entirely another problem (I find society sometimes rather uncomfortable with the sexualisation of men - maybe it's homophobia?). | /r/MensRights | 01/12/14 08:54 AM |
