0	Women aren't living quite as many years longer than men. Feminists outraged The point isn't "We've all got it rough; let's sit in a circle and talk about how awesome we are!" I actually think it's kind of the opposite. The point is that someone being in one marginalized group does not mean they can't be privileged in another way. Conversely, just because the commenter is in a privileged group with respect to race and class does not mean she can't be marginalized in another way, or that she loses her ability to call other people out on their privilege. She still might be…	/r/MensRights	24/06/11 11:45 AM

7	Chivalry is actually 'benevolent sexism', feminists conclude Well... in some instances it kind of is. Take the example from the article of 'helping a woman to choose the right computer'. (I'm female.) I'm a software engineer, I did tech support in college, and I drool over pics and specs of expensive gaming PCs on the internet. But I still get Best Buy employees who feel the need to explain to me in great detail what an Ethernet cord looks like or how to choose a power supply, and I don't see that happening to guys I've dated.

1	War Propaganda: Let's send more men to die in Afghanistan because of "women's rights" Ah, sorry. I thought you were talking about ad hominem the logical fallacy, not ad hominem the colloquialism used to insult your opponent's argumentative skill when you've run out of actual arguments. My bad. Edit: merriam webster also defines 'feminist' as the belief in equality between the sexes: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feminist Good thing that's more reliable than Wikipedia.	/r/MensRights	01/08/10 08:38 PM

2	War Propaganda: Let's send more men to die in Afghanistan because of "women's rights" He didn't say "jayhammers is a knuckle dragger; therefore his opinion is invalid". That would be ad hominem.

I think she was talking about comments like "All feminists just hate men", or the comments that blame feminism for everything from circumcision to prison rape to divorce.

1	Female teacher (41) will avoid jail time after pleading guilty to sending nude photos to Boy (15). Right. I think, in this case, we need to punish men less, rather than punishing this woman more. There are a lot of possible scenarios in which men and women are equal--perhaps anyone who sends an explicit picture to a minor could be burned alive. But, in my opinion, this policy would definitely be worse than the one we have now, even though the punishment for men and women would be equal.	/r/MensRights	29/07/10 05:55 PM

1	With regard to Male vs Female circumcision: "Right, except that one causes a shitload of problems and lifelong issues and pain and the other does not." Okay, make it a small irreversible change then. Say a cut that caused a tiny scar. My point still stands. I wasn't arguing that it wouldn't be better if the foot stomping or the pin prick didn't happen, or that stomping on feet or pin pricking shouldn't both be illegal. I was arguing that it's ridiculous to claim that we can't draw a distinction between foot stomping and foot amputation because both violate the same right. If one causes more harm than the other, then that one is worse.	/r/MensRights	28/07/10 06:18 PM
1	A Man's Right to Choose? - TIME If we have an agreement that any pregnancy will be aborted, she can void that agreement at any time without my consent, and then take half my income for a very long time.

1	A Man's Right to Choose? - TIME I'm not sure I understand your point... We're talking about women who won't abort, since if the woman were going to have an abortion, there would be no baby for the father to relinquish his rights and responsibilities to. So, if you have sex with a woman who will abort, there's no risk for either of you. If you're having sex with a woman who won't abort, there's a risk for both of you. This still isn't fair in that the woman is the only person who decides whether or not she will abort. But there…	/r/MensRights	27/07/10 03:25 PM

0	With regard to Male vs Female circumcision: "Right, except that one causes a shitload of problems and lifelong issues and pain and the other does not." This argument leads to an absurd conclusion. If every violation of the "human right to bodily integrity" is as bad as any other and deserves equal consideration, stomping on someone else's foot is as bad as, and deserves equal consideration as, cutting off someone else's foot. Put another way, suppose there was a law that said the parents of a son had the choice either to circumcise him or to 'symbolically' circumcise him by using a needle to draw a drop of blood from his penis. According to you…	/r/MensRights	26/07/10 07:21 PM
3	Overcrowding and DUI in LA: Most women only serve 20% of their jail sentence. Until last week, male inmates served 80% of their jail time, but recently the sheriff's department began freeing men who were sentenced for non-violent offenses after they served only 50% of their time. It doesn't say why the women serve less of their sentences than men. Maybe people generally get out earlier for certain types of crimes, and women commit those crimes more often than men do. Maybe the women's prisons are more overcrowded than the men's prisons are. Or maybe it's discrimination. But the article doesn't give us a reason to assume it's gender discrimination.	/r/MensRights	13/07/10 05:53 PM

For example, some girls have stereotypically male learning styles, and some boys have stereotypically female learning styles. So if the reforms they're criticizing actually are trying to treat all girls the same and all boys the same, they might have a point.

1	Wikipedia allows 'girl gamer' article but deletes 'guy gamer' article as hoax. Eh. I'm a girl, and I'm a gamer. That makes grammatical sense. On the other hand, I could not be a "fireman". I think the issue is more that the overwhelming majority of gamers are male, and the overwhelming majority of games are made for an audience assumed to be male, so the "gamer" article applies mostly to them. The "Girl gamer" article is probably supposed to be about the minority of gamers that are women, and the games that are marketed specifically to them.	/r/MensRights	01/07/10 01:02 AM

5	Winning the war against men Every human society ever has had a form of marriage. Some are polygamous, some are monogamous, but men have always been "willing" to marry women. The feminist movement has not made the gains it has because someone managed to convince women to stop getting married or having sex with men. Men need to do what women did and do: advocate, vote, and SUE. Whether or not Republicans (or Democrats, for that matter) have, up until now, done anything to advance men's rights is irrelevant.	/r/MensRights	28/06/10 03:12 PM

In his research, which surveyed 100 men in 48 states, it was found that very few men actually engage in sexual activities the first time they meet the “other woman.” Only six percent start their relationship through sex, meaning the two individuals engaged in this forbidden relationship take the time to get to k…	/r/MensRights	25/06/10 04:03 AM

Not completely, but I've also never seen a woman complain that men act like women, while I have seen men complain that women act like men. So I'm assuming the OP's goal was to talk about how 2X hates men or how women like to complain or how feminism is evil, all of which have been done more times than I care to remember. The 2X discussion did have some "stupid whiny men" stupidity, but there was also discussion of men's issues. I hardly think this is a call to discuss women's issues.	/r/MensRights	24/06/10 02:53 AM

2	In praise of pro-feminist fathers Some aspects of feminism harm men, but "feminism" also encompasses things that don't harm men, like ensuring women's access to birth control/abortions. Talking about how "feminism" is evil instead of specific issues just alienates people who associate feminism with its positive aspects. It also seems to make people think the critiquer of feminism is a right-wing Christian who thinks women should get back in the kitchen. At least it made the author of this blog think that...	/r/MensRights	24/06/10 02:09 AM

This study(PDF), which I believe is the study quoted in the article, asked men if they had raped "when a woman didn’t consent to sex, was forced or when she was too drunk to stop them."

So it sounds like, assuming the son is as competent as the father thinks he is, the son agreed to the DNR too.
