12	Stanford teaches panels that decide sexual assault cases to be 'very, very cautious in accepting a man's claim that he has been wrongly accused . . . .' concrete evidence and objective third parties That's completely beyond any college panel for a sexual assault case. Which is why college panels should not hear sexual assault cases.	/r/MensRights	04/05/11 02:22 AM
1	Women paying more than men for health insurance? Discrimination. Men paying more for life and auto insurance? No problem. Feminists only want rights when it benefits Women, not equality. Responsibility has nothing to do with it. People cost what they cost. It is not reasonable to charge one group a higher interest rate simply to subsidize another group. There's no reason we should expect men and women to pay the same for health insurance if they cost different amounts. Should earthquake insurance for a house cost the same in California vs. Texas? Different context, different cost. It's not reasonable to expect women to be charged the same for insurance as other groups because th…	/r/MensRights	21/01/11 06:53 AM
1	Imagine what would have happened if it was a male teacher giving cunnilingus to a female student. Moulton was accused of inappropriately touching four girls in 2008. Moulton has said the unwelcome touchings were pats meant as encouragement for good work.	/r/MensRights	08/01/11 05:24 PM
2	If women want to be equal in all things, why are they not required to sign up for the selective service? and who is being attacked? Well, obviously men. So they've already polarized the issue. That sounds a whole lot like the same argument you just debunked: they'll give some idealistic vision of a utopia of a world without war, then blame the patriarchy for the military and claim they are fighting to stop men from having to go to war too.	/r/MensRights	16/12/10 01:45 AM
10	Larry Summers, Harvard's dean, says that sexism doesn't really explain the skewed gender ratio in science, and provides hard proof. He's fired after that. Infants self-select those objects. Research Twelve-month-old infants (n=60) were presented with a video of cars moving, or a face moving, in a looking preference experimental design. This tested the prediction from our earlier work that attention in males is drawn more to mechanical motion, whilst attention in females is drawn more to biological motion. Results supported this prediction. These findings are discussed in relation to social and biological determinism.	/r/MensRights	12/09/10 06:15 PM
9	Feminists' Dishonesty on the Gender Wage Gap: In tennis tournaments, female players receive 100% of male players' prize - sometimes more - even though they only perform 66% of the work. More good links and points inside. A comment I made in a previous thread, debunking the pay gap in the first place. The pay gap comes almost entirely from the fact that women don't work as hard as men (men are significantly more likely to spend more than 60 hours per week at work), and are more likely to leave their career or cease it for periods of time than men. Summary: "For men and women who never marry and never have children, there is no earnings gap," said June O'Neill, an economist at Baruch College and former director of…	/r/MensRights	04/07/09 05:44 PM
25	"Male privilege" is an article on Wikipedia. There was one on "female privilege", but they deleted it citing "lack of context" How about the fact that females are rarely drafted into armies? It's always the men that are conscripted. Or: The massive over-representation of men in the homeless compared to women The massive over-representation of men in low-paying, manual labor jobs Also the most dangerous jobs Women live much longer than men The disproportionate number of jobs lost by men in the recent recession In the last year I read a book (wish I could remember that the moment -- maybe something by Malcom Gladwell?) wh…	/r/MensRights	27/06/09 12:45 AM
4	Many Women have been brainwashed by feminism's whacked contention that men "shouldn't" care about women's looks, that what's inside is all that matters. People tend to be attracted to others their own age. I'm sure you remember finding 13 year olds hot when you were that age, no? Do you still? (and anyone older than 25 was incomprehensibly old, and definitely not attractive) A while ago I read a comment (maybe Slashdot, maybe Reddit) from an aging man who said he was surprised to find himself thinking of elderly women as attractive. Anyway, I think this all reduces down to a concept of "reasonable change", where marriage vows include implicitly …	/r/MensRights	18/03/09 02:40 AM
4	Is it fair that only women have reproductive rights while men only have reproductive responsibilities? Does this mean greater societal cost? Yes it does. Actually, I don't think so. You're assuming the women will still want to have the kids. With that system, women will no longer force men into becoming husbands, where I am guessing there is a larger-than-average proportion of deadbeat dads. I expect there would be social benefit here. Fewer kids are born to families with unwilling parents. There will still be single-parent families, but most parents will know beforehand.	/r/MensRights	07/10/08 12:07 AM
6	Math IS Harder for Girls -- and also, it seems, for the New York Times Not true. The vast majority of mathematicians, especially the ones who made crucial advances, have been men: Leibniz Newton Erdos Ramanujan Turing Boole Euclid Gauss These giants, and others I don't remember at this moment, built ancient and modern mathematics. I am not saying there are no female mathematicians or that their contributions are unimportant. I am countering your clearly preposterous statement that they invented "most" of modern mathematics, when in reality they invented "very littl…	/r/MensRights	17/08/08 12:20 AM

4	Today is Equal Pay Day, and Hillary will introduce the Paycheck Fairness Act From my personal research on this subject, there are a number of reasons men earn more. Some of them were touched on in the article, but here is my list. Men are more willing to ask for raises Sub-item: Women are less confident in their abilities. Men are more likely to continue working full-time after having children Men are more willing prioritize their job over other things in life Men are drawn to "stacking" (hierarchical) work (big business) while women are drawn to "leveling" (social) work…	/r/MensRights	22/04/08 08:31 PM
6	Wacky Virginians try common sense approach to child support: "When you put a guy in jail, you're not going to get anything out of him," Rather sexist article: "When you put a guy in jail, you're not going to get anything out of him," said Jim Dedes, Fairfax County's director of court services. "Anything that gets money to the families makes a lot of sense. Jail is a great lever for getting guys to shape up, but if you can impact them before they're incarcerated, you really can't lose." Does anyone have data or research on this subject? ... absentee parents, most of them men, refuse or are unable to pay child support, officials s…	/r/MensRights	22/04/08 03:41 AM
1	When predator is a woman, are rules relaxed? Let's stop calling them "predators" on both sides. Anything consensual and not coerced is not predatory. Whether there was actual coercion should be decided individually for each case, and not merely based on the age difference or even teacher-student relationship.	/r/MensRights	26/03/08 01:41 PM
