9	There's a 4 year old boy from Florida who has been court ordered in a landmark case to be circumcised, explicitly against his will. Please sign and share this petition to show the judge you disagree with his his decision. Let's give this kid his body back. [X-post r/Intactivists] It doesn't matter if something is commonplace or not- that's not looking at the topic at hand objectively. That's couching your logic in some misplaced appeal to tradition. It's too bad we don't have slaves anymore, right? Fucking human progress making me change my worldviews, ugh!!!	/r/MensRights	10/11/14 05:30 PM
3	Women are selling positive pregnancy tests to other women on on Craiglist, to trap men into marriage. This is one of those stances that I don't know how I feel about. On one hand, some people need to learn things the hard way. Should they really have to suffer for life because of the consequences of that process? Conversely, there are some incredibly decision-making impaired, critical thought devoid cretins who I don't mind fading into obscurity.	/r/MensRights	21/10/14 03:55 PM
0	Male privilege The fair, obvious point. Evolving understanding of the origins of oppression, double standards, and so forth, has changed the perspective, but not the term, which is too entrenched in its associations.	/r/MensRights	22/10/13 05:02 AM
1	Male privilege That's the problem here. The generalizations. The feminists you're likely familiar with are the men haters, the hypocrites, et cetera. In academic circles, feminism is quite reasonable and principled. Some women just don't want to be told they can't lift the furniture, or feel that they've never opened a door on their own.	/r/MensRights	21/10/13 09:34 PM
1	Male privilege The patriarchy isn't just here to oppress women and empower men, it's not even really an intentional movement or institution of any sort, it's the set of notions and assumptions people make about women and men based on their gender, and what roles they should fill, perpetrated by years of reinforcement in law and culture. Women are objects to be desired, and men are the violent criminals of the world; these are both examples of these laws and cultural norms at work.	/r/MensRights	21/10/13 09:32 PM
3	Male privilege Cannot believe I haven't found this yet, thanks! I'll try to post relevant topics when I can.	/r/MensRights	21/10/13 08:43 AM
11	Male privilege Thanks for the reasonable response. I've been a part of this community for a while and all of these "factual" diagrams proving the "privilege" of women are getting tiresome. The mere mention of the term feminist elicited a couple heated, dismissive, reactionary comments, and some folks can't look at the historical perspective of various gender roles and laws that oppress both sexes. This movement shouldn't be about screwing over feminists and SRS, it should be cooperation when possible, and igno…	/r/MensRights	21/10/13 08:34 AM
24	Male privilege It often takes years if not decades for these kinds of stats to be verified, if not updated. This could be the best we have.	/r/MensRights	21/10/13 07:00 AM
43	Male privilege I live with a feminist, and their explanation for these kinds of discrepancies is that the patriarchy creates the same conditions for male suffering as it does for female inequality- just think about it. It's not like there's a multitude of women in government and running corporations conspiring to murder and incarcerate us, women are viewed as more delicate and in need of male 'saving' or what have you, and the perpetuation of those ideas create conditions where these kinds of statistics show u…	/r/MensRights	21/10/13 06:59 AM
2	SRS and Tumblr are very much alike. It's when you bring up something 'sensitive' to another person, such as rape, domestic abuse, homophobic assault, etc. It's a real thing sometimes, I found that out the hard way when I brought up my friend's rape in a bad context. Usually it's just another thing to wail and moan about for these types.	/r/MensRights	26/03/13 08:17 PM
1	..Seriously? I agree that's a suitable definition for balanced here, and I also agree that women experience domestic violence more often. However, I think ignoring female on male isn't healthy for society. I also think it vilifies all men, casting suspicion on the gender instead of raising awareness about the issue, a point made elsewhere on this thread. I really need to sleep now, but rock on dude!	/r/MensRights	02/02/13 10:32 AM
1	..Seriously? I think our main disagreement here is that I believe there should be a semblance of balanced representation, and that ignoring women abusers is a surefire way to send the wrong message and rub people the wrong way, as this post demonstrates. Even if they're in the minority, ignoring them is a mistake. I think it tells women that when they abuse men, it doesn't really "count" and tells men that when they're abused, it doesn't "count" either. And it does happen, especially in more forward-thinking…	/r/MensRights	02/02/13 10:11 AM
1	..Seriously? I just believe we should address the issue at hand as a whole, rather than a majority of the population that contributes to that issue. Once you remove gender from the equation, it becomes everyone's responsibility to be proactive. And thank you for this thought provoking exchange!	/r/MensRights	02/02/13 09:58 AM
1	..Seriously? I believe that limiting any message to exclusively one gender, especially such an important issue as this, is not only sexist, but damages our collective culture. If men are constantly taught that they are abusers, but then become the abused, and feel they can't respond or defend themselves, what will that produce? Battered women have a multitude of outlets, and men, only men, are demonized by these campaigns. My single request- why not insert a female face in that picture? Just one. Is that so …	/r/MensRights	02/02/13 09:48 AM
3	..Seriously? Just because a majority of abuse is perpetrated by males doesn't mean that they should be exclusively targeted for it. It's equivalent to saying "well, a greater proportion of gay men have HIV than anyone else, so let's only tell them to wear protection." Plus, the statistics for female abusers are likely wildly underreported due to cultural taboo and the law's bias.	/r/MensRights	02/02/13 09:17 AM
18	Hey, /r/MensRights! You're Subreddit of the Day! Congratulations! If this sounds completely awful, that's because it is. But the admins go on allowing it nonetheless. You know, for the good of the site and whatnot.	/r/MensRights	31/01/13 11:06 AM
7	The saga continues: After Reddit CEO Yishan goes on the record as saying links to "investigative journalism" will not be removed, an admin has done just that in /r/MensRights This explains so much. I get caught up looking at the arguments over the least polarizing videos- some cool chemical reaction will ultimately lead to a fact-less argument on gun violence or socialism. And I scratch my head. Almost every time!	/r/MensRights	03/01/13 12:49 AM
