1	This article is making me seriously reconsider whether MRAs/MGTOWs should associate with A Voice For Men. Dude, how about this: Husband repeatedly sexually assaults and rapes his wife, wife eventually chops his balls off. Your "analogy" requires the use of derogatory terms and a false equivalency, it makes no sense. This one is the more logically related one and the one implied in the comment you are responding to. Your argument is still wrong, it's just less incomprehensible now. edit: Original post was too condescending/insulting/aggressive. That doesn't help anything, so I edited that out.

8	TIL: Southern Poverty Law Center thinks R/mensrights is a burgeoning hate group. The arguments in that book are pretty incoherent. Yes, Gandhi struggled for Indian national rights in South Africa and not native African rights - this is completely true and widely known. To construe this to somehow make him a "racist" who "hated black people" is odd and without much evidence. This isn't me advocating a blind faith in a propagandized Gandhi, it's simply saying that you shouldn't buy into every conspiracy theory out there - especially those based that require radical twists of h…	/r/MensRights	09/03/12 04:18 AM

0	You know why /r/mensrights is so pro-free speech... I'll go through this point by point for you. It's not difficult to understand. There is no lie contained in that sentence. Consad is a private corporation, the U.S. Department of Labor is not. This plays into 3: I, in no way, implied that you don't trust statistics from the federal government. My point is, always has been, and remains: Why are you willing to accept statistics from the federal government that support your viewpoint but reject those that do not? You keep harping on "fewer hours = …	/r/MensRights	07/02/12 11:12 PM
0	You know why /r/mensrights is so pro-free speech... You do realize that an appeal to authority is only a fallacy if the authority is not an expert within the field? With regards to wage and labor statistics, referring to the U.S. Department of labor is not a fallacy. I'm also not making an appeal, I'm asking you why one source is more trusted by you than the other. Further, and left unaddressed, is why one source is trustworthy at one time (when it agrees with you) and untrustworthy another (when it does not)? Conversely, personal attacks are alw…	/r/MensRights	07/02/12 08:20 PM
-1	You know why /r/mensrights is so pro-free speech... I presented a peer-reviewed study and referred to it using the terms it chose. I apologize for not removing the university log-in, my mistake. You've responded with personal insults and laughing dismissal. This even though I stated the link was not "proof" but just an example of the types of studies that exist. That article doesn't actually reflect my views; however, your need to automatically assume that it does, not look at it, and dismiss it seems rather telling, don't you think? I even offer…	/r/MensRights	06/02/12 09:03 PM
-1	You know why /r/mensrights is so pro-free speech... The "insistence of patriarchy" and "pervasive male privilege" are your two? Ok, what would you accept as necessary "evidence" for you to change your mind regarding these concepts? Here, for example, is a wonderful study on hegemonic masculinity within police forces (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com.ezaccess.libraries.psu.edu/doi/10.1111/1468-0432.00168/abstract), but I doubt that is the type of "proof" you want. So what would be acceptable?	/r/MensRights	06/02/12 06:54 PM
1	You know why /r/mensrights is so pro-free speech... The issue is how you go from the existing state of relations to one in which egalitarianism exists.	/r/MensRights	06/02/12 06:50 PM
