7	Flashback: A rape lie and a curfew for men and boys Why is this a Men's Rights Issue?

10	She called me a "manwhore" Why is this Men's Rights related? People in the story assume men want to be seen as sexual machines and therefore claim that, when done to a man, slut-shaming is more acceptable The victim's girlfriend defames his character and humiliate him using his sexuality in order to punish him Why is this potentially not Men's Rights related?

Implied is that feminists or some feminists say they want equality but really do not (crossing their fingers behind their back) Why is this potentially not Men's Rights related? The logo on its own is simply hate on feminists/some feminists which implies that this is a men's rights vs. feminists issue	/r/MensRights	10/02/12 05:16 PM

5	People are against "victim blaming" when a person has been traumatized, but when trying to administer justice, it is necessary to "tighten the screws" and make sure that every person's claim is subject to scrutiny. Why is this Men's Right related?

People who have been legitimately raped but are ignored because of the lack of weeding out of false claims	/r/MensRights	10/02/12 05:56 AM
110	People are Mean to My Wife Why is this Men's Right related? People assume a random man is forcing his wife to do what he wants People assume a random man is potentially beating his wife Who else is discriminated against? Women because people assume the OP's wife cannot make her own decisions because people assume a woman cannot possibly want to be a housewife	/r/MensRights	10/02/12 05:47 AM
