7	Warren Farrell protest at the University of Toronto - Full version - YouTube He's referring to playful behavior between consenting partners. He's not advocating date rape. If people hate us because of an out-of-context quote, that says more about them than us. There's nothing we can do about idiots who don't understand context and, quite frankly, we don't need to. These people represent a tiny fraction of the general population and a large segment of that population sees them as angry and irrational lunatics. We don't need to convince them and it wouldn't matter anyways …	/r/MensRights	01/12/12 09:00 PM
-1	Warren Farrell protest at the University of Toronto - Full version - YouTube The video would be better if it made some reference to what the talk was actually about. It doesn't actually refute the false claims the crowd was making about it being hate speech and people not familiar with Farrell will have no idea that he isn't actually inside promoting rape/hate speech/etc.	/r/MensRights	01/12/12 08:52 PM
0	The proud leader of the movement to castrate as many men as possible. I'm pretty sure this is satire or some running joke to see how gullible people are, but like someone else said, not being able to tell crazy satire from crazy reality isn't always a reflection on the person who can't tell...	/r/MensRights	20/11/12 12:49 AM

6	Norwegian man refuses to pay alimony for unwanted child, keeps fighting after three times in prison Oh, you want an abortion because you aren't ready for a child? Too bad, you should have used a condom. I've heard people say this. It's a shitty rationale when they use it and it's a shitty rationale when people like you use it. The reality is that there are options for dealing with unwanted pregnancies and nobody is forced to birth a child unless they choose to. If a woman decides to give birth, that is her choice, but if she knows she will not have financial support when the child is born then…	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 02:30 AM
9	University of Houston Doing it Right - Imgur The vast majority of rapes are committed by people who are known to and have some type of relationship to the victim. In other words, they are people you trust. Take back the night events have always put a huge focus on 'stranger danger', which basically terrifies a lot of women into thinking they're about to be chloroformed and dragged into a back alley or that they will have their drinks spiked in a club, two things that - statistically speaking - almost never actually happen. It's a good obje…	/r/MensRights	20/09/12 05:12 AM
2	University of Houston Doing it Right - Imgur Why? It vastly understates the number of actual rapes by using different standards than what they use for women. Rape stats for women end up being much higher because their standards for what constitute 'sexual assault' are much different. It's nice to see it mentioned but it's still highly misleading and, when juxtaposed against similar stats for women, provides no valid basis for comparison.	/r/MensRights	20/09/12 05:08 AM
1	Got my pants pulled down in front of my friends. None of my lady-friends thought it was a problem. If she thought this was hilarious, she's probably not the type who's going to suddenly find some sympathy for him. My guess is that her response will be: "Oh, man up and stop being a pussy, it was just a joke" while she remains oblivious to the fact that she would be mortified if someone else did this to her.	/r/MensRights	12/09/12 12:59 PM
8	Was asked to give one example of ways in which sexism hurts men today. I gave several, on of which was selective service. This was the reply. The best is when they try to tell you it's actually a benefit, which I have encountered more times than I can count. Being forced into a draft is a good thing, according to some feminists, because it shows that society respects your abilities to fight more than it respects women. Yes, even a man-only draft policy that forces people who don't want to fight to fight is an example of how men benefit from the patriarchy.	/r/MensRights	16/08/12 11:11 PM
1	Why I no longer call myself an MRA We attack feminism philosophy because they are wrong. The point I'm making is that you far too often you don't attack feminist philosophy at all, you attack the feminists themselves. There is a huge difference between attacking a philosophy that someone holds and attacking the label they identify themselves with. One is a legitimate tactic that reveals the ignorance of the feminist and the other is an ad hominem that reveals the ignorance of the MRA. It's not beneficial to us to turn people who …	/r/MensRights	29/06/12 07:51 PM
2	Why I no longer call myself an MRA Feminists rhetoric should be countered because they dismiss men's suffering and demonize men. Agreed, but we don't need to attack feminism as a philosophy in order to counter the bad rhetoric many feminists use. You can attack a person's position without attacking the person. At the very least, the anti-feminist position needs to be replaced with a position of anti-feminist extremism. Attacking feminists in general is only costing support from people who would otherwise be sympathetic. Paint the…	/r/MensRights	28/06/12 03:45 AM

6	How's this for an Irish joke? Because getting a girl pregnant has no negative consequences for men, right? This is idiotic.	/r/MensRights	22/06/12 01:26 AM
6	I can explain some of the bump in funding for Brian Banks. I think it also explains why MC Hammer is now following me on twitter. I promoted this a bit myself and several people even told me they contributed based on me bringing awareness, so I feel good about that because I'm on disability and couldn't contribute anything myself. If you have money, give what you can. If you have no money but you have time, give that instead. If you have both, well, take your pick! The title + image of MC Hammer following you really made me laugh. I don't know why, but the thought of MC Hammer following you on Twitter is just hilarious.	/r/MensRights	22/06/12 01:23 AM
