| 4 | The hidden classism of modern feminismI agree with almost everything you wrote, but I think it's very, very early to say we're in a hard-left swing right now. Republicans control every single branch of the federal government and although socially, we'd swing pretty left if Dems win back half of one branch of the federal government, economically, the current DNC leadership is very neo-liberal, rather than "hard-left." | /r/MensRights | 06/11/18 09:25 PM |
| 13 | The hidden classism of modern feminismI'm in a similar boat. I don't feel at home in either party. For me, I still lean voting Dem b/c, while both parties are corporate owned, the Dems at least have a few people left who remember the men who died fighting for a 5 day, 40 hour work week and basic worker protections as part of the labor movement. I just wish there was a single, realistic party I could vote for that cared more about people who make their money from a paycheck, not their inheritance. Instead I get two parties pushing po… | /r/MensRights | 06/11/18 08:55 PM |
| 2 | Campus Rape and the ‘Emergency’: It’s Always an Excuse for Authoritarianism."Freedom from want" is not freedom. That is rhetorical nonsense. I'm not saying it is. The point I was making is that in liberal societies, freedom from want (having social safety nets, welfare, unemployment, etc.) is an important goal. The extent to which the government exerts control to achieve that goal determines how authoritarian that society is. The only issue at stake here is the size and scope of government. Literally nothing else matters when trying to pin down a political ideology. Bot… | /r/MensRights | 07/04/15 10:01 PM |

And I might add, especially in war time, like say when the Nazis are invading you. But a dictatorship is centralized to one person. Like... maybe Joseph Stalin? Is that one person?

This is the best I've ever heard this concept phrased.

Most people can't really imagine that men are discriminated against in any way in our society.

Women in their 20s are children being taken advantage of by men in their 40s. They aren't old enough to make adult choices. On the other hand, men in their 20s are adults who are evil criminals if they get drunk and fuck women who are also drunk.

The working poor, the people living paycheck to paycheck, or close to it, need someone to look down on. If they realize that they're at the bottom as much as poor minorities and "criminals," they'd revolt against the system. The key is in making them think they have something to lose.

This dramatically increases the likelihood of finding and successfully prosecuting the rapist. And, since most rapists are serial offenders, rather than one time offenders, this has a huge impact on reducing rape. This is what they told people when I was in high school.

Feminism tells them they can have it all.A career and a family. If they give up on the career, they must just be lazy. But, just because many women drop the label, doesn't mean they drop the sentiment.

| 11 | Top 10 feminist fiascoes of 2014It's not just about Feminism blocking progress on Men's Rights issues, it's about the fact that Feminism is actively working to take rights away from men. Starting with, but not limited to, the fight to deny due process to men accused of sexual assault. If you care about the ways in which men are hurt, limited, and endangered in society, fighting Feminism is a critical step in achieving equality for men. | /r/MensRights | 22/12/14 06:02 PM |
| 3 | Top 10 feminist fiascoes of 2014It's not her filibuster that puts her on the list. Its the fact that Democrats thought she would make a good candidate and actually have a shot at winning over some conservative voters when her personal history reads like a checklist of everything conservative southerners hate. Feminism blinded Democrats from seeing the inevitable outcome.
