| 2 | How Come Women Have Such A Hard Time In Other Subreddits With Empathy-Why I Love /r/redpillwomenteen-mid 20s socially awkward men Exactly... which makes reddit laughably comical sometimes, when you realize that the person being an armchair tough guy or trying to sound worldly and wise likely still has his mom doing his laundry and plays video games all weekend rather than leave the house. | /r/RedPillWomen | 19/10/15 05:28 PM |
| -1 | Dirty SheetsLots of people consider every women post-30 or sometimes even 25 to have "hit the wall". They advise not fucking women who have hit the wall. Exactly. I'd bet that the guys saying that are probably teenagers or early-20's to whom age 30 feels like an eternity away. I'm in my mid-30's, and although the pool is smaller (due to a lot of them being married or having kids), there's still plenty of attractive single women in their 30's & 40's. Genetics, diet, exercise, etc... treat some women better t… | /r/TheRedPill | 25/06/15 05:06 PM |
| 1 | Creep shamed, because I wouldn't let a woman return a sweaterI think the mother is shitty and the kids will probably act shitty, I'm not debating that point. What I'm saying is that I don't really see a long-term threat from one irate customer yelling an insult at a customer service person in a store. It happens probably a dozen times a day. My GF used to work at blockbuster and has had people call her every name in the book and even throw VHS tapes at her head (she ducked).

| 0 | Creep shamed, because I wouldn't let a woman return a sweaterUm, accused of what exactly? Not taking a sweater as a return? It's like you want to see a threat where none actually exists. I don't understand what you think is going to happen because one irate woman yells "creep" and walks out. | /r/MensRights | 16/05/14 11:01 PM |
| -11 | Creep shamed, because I wouldn't let a woman return a sweaterYup. If it was a guy who went into the store and caused a ruckus about returning something that he broke, it wouldn't be posted on MRA. When a woman does it, it's front page. | /r/MensRights | 16/05/14 06:58 PM |
| -2 | Creep shamed, because I wouldn't let a woman return a sweaterI'm not going to lose sleep over the opinions of random strangers I'll probably never see again in my life. If some stranger thinks I'm a creepy weirdo because they overheard me joking around with my friends on the train, I honestly don't care. Anyone who actually knows me knows I'm a decent person. | /r/MensRights | 16/05/14 06:56 PM |
| 1 | Creep shamed, because I wouldn't let a woman return a sweaterI totally agree. Don't give other people that kind of power over you. The appropriate response to being called a "creep" is to say "whatever, lady", walk away and get on with your day. | /r/MensRights | 16/05/14 06:51 PM |

They made sure I was being safe and knew how to avoid getting girls pregnant and never minded when my GF stayed the night, because it was better than us sneaking around in a shady neighborhood.

| 10 | A new study shows 'ugly' men are less likely to attract business investors. Men are judged on their looks just as much as women.That was one of the best lessons I ever learned. You can be the smartest guy in the room, but if everyone thinks you're dressed like a shmuck, they're not going to listen to you. You can be the dumbest asshole in the room, but if you're dressed to the 9's and have tons of confidence, there's a good chance people will take you seriously. Image is incredibly powerful. | /r/MensRights | 14/03/14 07:00 PM |

My friends and I thought we were so sneaky drinking in my parents basement as teenagers, but years later my parents told me they knew what we were doing and were OK with it because at least they could keep an eye on us and they were happy we weren't in some sketchy part of town or hanging out with super shady people. Protip to parents: your kids are going to do what they want. Telling them not to will just make them better liars and take bigger risks. | /r/MensRights | 14/03/14 06:38 PM |

If a boy is going to abuse the daughter, trust me, it's going to be somewhere real far away from the dad where he can't stop it.

| 6 | Oh look, another image identifying what "real men" areIf you're dating a woman who says even 3 of these things, it's time to break up. Have some self-respect and find a better mate. Not all women are anti-sex money-grubbing naggers... seriously dude, you need to get out there and meet some higher quality women if this is what the women you know act like. | /r/MensRights | 22/02/14 03:44 PM |
| 7 | Oh look, another image identifying what "real men" areA man can always decide not to do what's "expected" of him. For example, I've chosen not to have a family. I'm sure some women look at me like less of a man because I don't want kids, but I don't care. This is who I am. Walking around ashamed of myself and cowardly acceding to other people is not very manly, in my eyes. | /r/MensRights | 22/02/14 03:39 PM |

Most cities have a decent BDSM scene. But you can't sit around and wait for them to fall into your lap... you gotta get yourself out there.

I had no idea what "check your privilege" even meant until I saw it here and had to google it.

Also - you do realize that feminism is a HUGE and vague concept that's undergone numerous waves and has about a thousand sub-disciplines under it.

Your marriage has been over for a while, you just don't seem to know it. ANY woman that would deliberately "sabotage" her birth control and lie to her husband to get herself pregnant again is reprehensible.

I agree. You can't really plan for a woman secretly stopping her birth control and putting pin holes in all your condoms... But plenty of guys also go along with the baby talk and then back out when the kid is a few years old, because they realize having a kid cramps their style.

IMHO, only coerced sex (either verbal or physical) should be called "rape", or when someone's drink is spiked and they're knocked out and physically can't give consent. If someone is conscious and doesn't say "no" or "stop" or push the person away or give the other person any indication that they're not consenting, it's ridiculous to call that rape. | /r/MensRights | 21/06/12 01:35 PM |
| 12 | My College surprised me today.The problem is that "rape" is an umbrella term for anything ranging from a girl having sex while being a little tipsy and regretting it the next day, all the way to a violent psycho forcing themselves on someone with a gun shoved in their mouth. Unfortunately the law isn't good at distinguishing between non-violent "rape" where no physical or verbal coercion is used and violent rape where some psycho is holding a knife to a person's throat in a dark alley.

That's not "blaming the victim", it's simply a fact of life: avoid high risk situations if you want to reduce the risk of bad things to happening.
