3	Always Told How to Behave around women to make them feel safe. But never been told what to do if someone harassed me This is jut my hot take, but nobody has the right to "feel" safe. Or the right to feel anything for that matter. If somebody's paranoia prevents them from comfort at certain movements of the sun, then they may need to make changes to their lives that facilitates that. If I get touched inappropriately, my main response is to remove myself from the situation. Rarely is it worth the stress of escalation and I am not confident I even could 'win' anything that feels like justice in that conflict. Cer…	/r/MensRights	21/06/22 08:42 AM
4	Do you feel Words and Definitions matter? My hot take: If there is an ernest aim for discussion and debate then finding at first common ground on definitions/context is important. Are we discussing the masculine in a philosophical way, or in a purely biological model? Or do we want to only talk about it in the coloquial casual sense? I think it could make a big difference in how you formulate your argument and evidence. I also think that such debates are easier held in person (or in video conference), than in text from the phone. But tb…	/r/MensRights	01/05/22 02:18 PM
14	Meet the mechanics at London's first all-female garage called "Spanners with Manners" I didn't know the BBC was allowed to make advertisement like that (state funded and all that) :P	/r/MensRights	30/04/22 10:00 PM
36	Staring on public transport: His eyes were glued on me Personally, I am looking forward to my new human right to "comfort".	/r/MensRights	30/04/22 11:58 AM
4	What is masculinity then? Indeed, in reality you would have to approach the question from biological, aesthetic (I mean in the philosophical context) and sociocultural angles. Not useful for 140 characters on twitter.	/r/MensRights	30/04/22 11:49 AM
11	Thoughts ? I don't have strong feelings about this video. There are assertions and no evidence presented. If I assume that all information presented is 100% true, I would still be more conservative with claiming a causative effect globally when it comes to situations that are clearly a consortium of complex human interactions, cultures and so on and so forth (i.e. more than just hierarchical in nature). Actually I lied. I do have one strong feeling. I realised I don't particularly like the audience pov whe…	/r/MensRights	26/04/22 10:59 PM
2	Issue Number One: Male Infant Circumcision Also tax money goes into financing religious medical interventions (that are not necessary), which is an unethical use of resources. Why should a UK atheist pay for e.g. Jewish/Muslim medical procedure on the national health service?	/r/MensRights	26/04/22 05:21 PM
20	It's called Male genital mutilation. It's worse in the social health care systems. Tax money (in a secular state) pays for religious disfigurement of babies. Let that sink in.	/r/MensRights	26/04/22 03:52 PM
2	Rise in Tube passengers reported to police for 'intrusive staring' I am so sorry guys. It's my fault. There was this really hot guy in gym kit standing near the door. So strong that he had perfect balance without holding on to anything. I was really impressed by the biceps that were the size of my thighs. I was so distracted that I nearly failed my wordle. His significant other probably caught me staring. I'll be more subtle and wear sunglasses next time.	/r/MensRights	24/04/22 12:52 PM
3	Male Mental Health and Gaslighting In 2014 'mental health awareness' was debated heavily in our psychology high school class as a double edged sword in regards to self-fulfilling prophecies. The idea that continued expectations (of for example that mental health is a serious concern) will manifest as a serious concern in your life. That effect is well documented and scary (Rosenhan Being Sane in Insane Places is a super fascinating study and common course work). This doesn't have that much relevance with your post, but this felt …	/r/MensRights	24/04/22 12:42 PM
17	Why is nobody outraged that the CDC literally has a propaganda page promoting circumcision? Well even here in Europe I find it disgusting that mutilating boys is perfectly fine under the flag of religious expression. It is socially risky to criticize practicing Jewish or Muslims though as they are protected characteristics and if your employer finds out probably fired. It's also sad that clinicians who willingly carry out these procedures in Europe under health insurance (state supported). Yes, your tax money pays for mutilating child genetalia. Separation of church and state is one of…	/r/MensRights	24/04/22 12:30 PM
2	I suspect that treating kids as unisex may actually hurt them developmentally. This is a scientific question so it needs to be answered experimentally and with data, as well as a lot of definitions/controls etc. Anecdotally, as a gay child I would avoid any wrestling (which I assume is a form of horseplay) like the plague out of fear of any possibility of getting turned on (which would be extremely embarrassing). I ended up with tennis as a chosen sport which put me at a comfortable court of distance for the majority of the time.	/r/MensRights	24/04/22 12:16 PM
3	Does Society Allow Men To Show Emotions? I don't have strong feelings about this question. Oh no, the chains of society. They bind me to this lack of emotional range. Why can't I shed a tear for the words on this screen woe is me. I will say though that I have always been more candid about my thoughts and feelings with 'the boys' than any woman friends/colleagues.	/r/MensRights	23/04/22 08:31 PM
