1	Men are not to blame (from /imgoingtohellforthis) Legally, the copyright owner of a picture can prohibit someone else from publicly displaying or republishing that content. There are additional laws regarding the distribution of sexually explicit content, and specific prohibitions on distribution of sexually explicit content depicting someone without their consent. In America such a victim can to sue you for defamation and various invasion of their privacy, etc. since they only consented to you seeing the picture NOT the public. Realistically, …	/r/MensRights	21/01/14 11:23 PM
1	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry Feminism does suggest that social harms stem from many of the social norms surrounding gender, and I would even agree that the movement is focused on the individual damage to women, although it also posits society-wide harms that result. Herein seems to lie our first difference in assumptions - recognizing the need for special treatment of women is not about shifting a burden, but about distributing it more efficiently. No one wants to pay more taxes, but economics would suggest different global…	/r/MensRights	10/09/13 08:44 AM
1	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry I'm doing my best to be consistent, but without clarity of what I have been asked to defend, there is no way to be specifically responsive to /u/Pornography_saves_li in his request. We are all on the same page that "man up" is a shitty thing to say, because it demeans and belittles men by forcing them into a gender role arbitrarily. I disagree with most of this community that Feminism contributes to the "man up" phenomenon. Feminism is naturally more concerned with the belittling of women, and M…	/r/MensRights	06/09/13 10:42 PM
1	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry I'm sorry you feel wronged by my effort to answer your question. I posted here first because I wanted to comfort OP, and have replied to the discussions my opinions have caused as respectfully and clearly as I can. If I understand you right you imply the concept I am feigning ignorance about is the claim that "men oppressed women" - I infer this oppression is what must be the point of Patriarchy theory. You take some issue with however feminists in this theory identify what is or is not oppressi…	/r/MensRights	06/09/13 05:24 AM
-1	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry I would say that the notion that lives women are more valuable than those of men predates feminism and even suffragism, and is more about the elevation of the value of women, specifically attractive young women, to a status of being prized above all else. Ancient history is summarized well by analyzing the prestige goods that defined cultures and military campaigns. Helen of Troy was worth more than the deaths of ten thousand men, and the greatest kings and rulers were those with the most access…	/r/MensRights	05/09/13 07:40 AM
-1	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry So is telling a man who is upset to "man up" a logical outgrowth of other beliefs integral to most forms of feminism? Which beliefs? Is a huge amount of feminist rhetoric and activism involved in supporting the belittling of male emotions and crying as non-masculine and therefor bad? Can you give me an example of this activism? Is the most common feminist response to men decrying "man up" as hurtful a stream of sneering ridicule about masculinity? Can you show me some feminists responding this w…	/r/MensRights	05/09/13 01:56 AM
-1	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry Well, I would say that Feminism as a critical theory, one concerned with identifying and criticizing under-emphasized problems in society and trying to link them to social harms, this specific theory you mention may be concerned with classifying commonly accepted behaviors as actually harmful and akin to sociopathy. The theory would not be concerned with examples which are not harmful, and so the body of the theory would be to attack behaviors which are at least somewhat common, and not exclusiv…	/r/MensRights	05/09/13 01:20 AM
0	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry Some Feminists also are Jets fans. Does that make sports fandom a tenet of feminism? Some Christians say to "man up". Does that make this attitude a part of the beliefs in Christianity?	/r/MensRights	05/09/13 12:42 AM
-1	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry Hold a person accountable for the harms of telling someone to "man up", or otherwise being dismissive or prejudiced or anything else. If they defend their position by claiming it is feminism, don't hold back there either. If you find a behavior reprehensible, pursue that criticism wherever it takes you.	/r/MensRights	05/09/13 12:40 AM
3	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry I agree, Feminism has not done enough I can concretely say has helped me or men in my community either. I'm glad for some of the help women I have known enjoy, but not all of it. It is frustrating that critical groups, usually defined as being against something, struggle to ever find positive changes they want to make, and a lot don't even seem to care about replacing what they tear down with something better. I hate boys and men being belittled too. Let's help each other find the role models yo…	/r/MensRights	04/09/13 11:24 PM
-1	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry That is a misuse of the fallacy. I am not redefining feminism to exclude every example I disagree with, as with the case of saying anyone born in Scotland has a certain quality, and then circularly excluding people born in Scotland who lack that quality. "All Scotsmen pay their debts." "What about Scotty McTavish? He didn't pay his debts." "Then he is no true Scotsman." vs "Many feminists would agree that 'man up' is dismissive and wrong to say to a man." "What about Tabitha McBitchFace, who cal…	/r/MensRights	04/09/13 11:00 PM
3	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry I am touched that you share this bond with your brother, that he was able to express this conflict to you. I am sorry your father has done this to you and your brother's lives. You don't say so specifically, but I am sorry you dad may have caused you doubt and guilt and pain as well. Seeing it in your brother is probably a lot harder than just dealing with it on you own. I am somewhat surprised to see transitioning so suddenly to a hatred of feminists, although this is the right sub for finding …	/r/MensRights	04/09/13 10:37 PM
-1	My 12 year brother was ashamed to cry A person who self-identifies as a feminist may or not practice feminism. The practice of dismissing an individual's feelings by putting them in a gendered group is contrary to the core of the idea and the movement of feminism. You do yourself a disservice for hating an idea because of negative experiences with a label.	/r/MensRights	04/09/13 10:22 PM
1	"Rape is rape is rape" is a lie, Joe Biden! There are 20 different types of rape! Swedish-broken-condom-rape, 5-second-rape,didn’t-get-consent-in-writing-rape,withdrawn-consent-rape, Fake-ID-involuntary-statutory-rape, false-accusation-rape, I-don’t-have-taxi-fare-rape,Andrea-Dworkin-Rape It is theoretically possible for a society to be over-sensitive to unwanted sexual contact, and for the criminal justice system to be grossly inefficient and detrimental to that society in its aggressive persecution of men who have not done anything wrong. We do not live in that society. Based on the prevalence of totally unreported rape, we are not even close. For some reason you wish to invoke in the minds of men a parade of horribles selected from throughout history as caused by saying we sho…	/r/MensRights	12/04/11 10:06 PM
