28	Accurate 🤣🤣 I'd bring something to that table! ....a hatchet and a match count, right?	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	17/04/20 07:48 PM
9	If these #NotAllMen types were genuine, they would attack the MRA/MGTOW/Incel/Pro-Male/Etc. subs instead of harassing feminist subs with their gaslighting tactics. But they do not want to stop toxic masculinity - they just want to stop us from talking about toxic masculinity! Men's Lib does exactly this. Those are guys trying to be good men all the way around. If any guys want to find some men who are confident enough to be kind, that's a good start.	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	15/04/20 11:17 PM
-1	DON'T DATE SIGNIFICANTLY OLDER MEN. If you've never met a single good man in your whole life, not one, then you've probably got some issues to work through because that can be really damaging to both men and women. You're gonna need to actively look for examples of truly good men, and also learn that good people are imperfect, and we are imperfect too, and we need to decide what's a hard limit and who and what we're willing to forgive in this world. You also might be dismissing the truly good men you've met as weak, or not your …	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	14/04/20 03:14 PM
45	DON'T DATE SIGNIFICANTLY OLDER MEN. One thing I've enjoyed here is seeing women post examples they found of good men, so it's more than just a sub for trashing the bad ones. The bad ones are already everywhere in our vision. It feels good to see the positives, too, so you know what to aim for.	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	13/04/20 06:36 PM
97	DON'T DATE SIGNIFICANTLY OLDER MEN. I hate to be the "not all guys" but... not all guys are broken inside. Some of them are healthy, sweet, good, confident, strong men. Resilient men. I know that most everyone in here is in the position of "not in a relationship because bad shit happened" and wow, there's a lot of bad shit in this world. But we can't forget that there are good people, generous people, kind, sweet, loving people - and some of them are men. Something we need to remember is to lift each other up and to cherish …	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	13/04/20 05:58 PM
6	Being a Kinkmeisha traumatized me, but now I’m recovering! Liberal feminism says doing what you want is empowering; you've learned that you don't want to do that anymore, so you chose to change. That's the basis of feminism: the ability to choose your life, and the power of self-determination. Now, some choices are more likely to have the end result you want and that is where strategy comes in.	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	09/04/20 12:38 AM
3	“hE’s A sImP” Simp is a word insecure puffed up hollow men use to neg your ideas of other, better men who have character.	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	06/04/20 08:02 PM
26	Because that's what dads do (x-post from /r/DadsBeingDads) Oh my goodness his daughter's poof's and the puppy!!! My heart!	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	06/04/20 07:56 PM
2	Too bad that even some biological fathers aren’t like that with their kids This is also how you tell one from the other: one dude takes, another dude gives. Find the guys who care enough to make everything they touch better, who take pride in caring for the world and for other folks just because it's who they are inside.	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	06/04/20 12:31 PM
4	Too bad that even some biological fathers aren’t like that with their kids I'm glad you're taking care to learn how to break that cycle. It's hard, but you'll make a better world for any kids under your care.	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	06/04/20 12:29 PM
1	I’m surprised this made it to the front page of reddit Pornhub and the women who do sex work are targets, and it pays to remember that; but porn as an industry is also exploitave and awful to women, and it pays to remember that. It's smart to treat these claims with caution.	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	04/04/20 02:46 PM
2	Swear to god someone went through my old messages to make this... They're trained to see their own feelings that way too, which is why so many guys commit suicide and have untreated mental illnesses. Part of this whole strategy should be identifying mentally healthy men and and ensuring that if the one you want isn't mentally healthy (everyone gets injuries) he's at least doing something about it with a real doc and doesn't expect you to bandage his hurt brain.	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	31/03/20 05:52 PM
19	We are making headway! Cross post from r/auatralia To be fair, I know some women who make me quite concerned. I actually agree that a gender neutral version of this is a good idea. Expressing concern for the safety of your patrons is a nice thing for a bar to do, overall. However... This seems more aimed at mocking the original than being supportive of guys in a tough spot.	/r/MensRights	12/05/17 12:09 AM
15	feminist myth of women earning $0.72 to a man's $1 repeated in u.s. presidential debate Depends on your documentation. If part of the job description involves employee attitude, like in the service industry, and they're failing to maintain that attitude or their behaviour negatively impacts the contract or the customer, and you do performance appraisals where you discuss this with him and provide them the opportunity to develop, and they fail to do so - and at the same time you've documented that the other person has a good attitude the same way, using performance evaluations - wel…	/r/MensRights	17/10/12 10:06 PM
3	What in the heck is this? (a subreddit called beatingwomen is linking here) A plot which we can only resist by succumbing to the philosophy of /r/trees. You, whichever gender you are, are a genius.	/r/MensRights	13/05/12 10:16 PM
1	What in the heck is this? (a subreddit called beatingwomen is linking here) Yes, but not everyone is pre-conditioned against offensive words. Some people choose not to expose themselves to words that are offensive - they feel it makes them hard and don't want to be accustomed to things they consider are wrong. I'm not one of them, but some of my friends are, and I respect that choice. So, to use those words in their presence would be wrong. Malpractice is a suite of things to a doctor - financial ruin, social embarrassment, self-doubt. Cunt is a suite of things to a wom…	/r/MensRights	13/05/12 06:31 PM
1	What in the heck is this? (a subreddit called beatingwomen is linking here) Selective service: I seriously think women should have to register. It feels like a lack of equality to me, that women aren't expected to fulfill the same obligations and take the same risks as men. Like we're considered children. "Oh no, dear, you just sit here and let the men do this part. You're not fit for duty." No, banning words won't stop people from saying hurtful tings. But do you want to be the sort of person who deliberately says hurtful things? We have no control over others - we can…	/r/MensRights	13/05/12 06:22 PM
2	What in the heck is this? (a subreddit called beatingwomen is linking here) Words only have the meanings we assign them, that's true. But consider meanings. Like a doctor hearing the word "malpractice" - he's going to get a sick feeling in his stomach. It's a scary word to him. Or hearing the words "I'm so sorry" come from a police officer at your door. Or "neurological impairment" just after you've given birth. Words are powerful. They have books of laws about slander and there are entire colleges devoted to the study of how to use them to manipulate people. Don't unde…	/r/MensRights	13/05/12 03:56 PM
3	What in the heck is this? (a subreddit called beatingwomen is linking here) "retard" was considered pretty casual when I was a kid, but now it seems to be considered really, really not ok because more awareness has grown about the difficulties of mental illness. Progress. :)	/r/MensRights	13/05/12 03:51 PM
3	What in the heck is this? (a subreddit called beatingwomen is linking here) Because it's only a term for a moron because it references female genitalia. The two meanings aren't separable. They're not homonyms, two different words which sound the same - it's one word. Why would men who want men to have a fair shake defend their moral right to use the word cunt anyways? Why would they want to? I don't get it. It's not like saying "cunt" gets you more time with your kids or fewer circumcisions. It doesn't forward your goals as a movement. All you're fighting for when you g…	/r/MensRights	13/05/12 03:50 PM
20	What in the heck is this? (a subreddit called beatingwomen is linking here) How about not a feminist at all, but a sadist? Or a dramatist? Blaming everything that bothers this subreddit on the feminists doesn't seem entirely realistic. Yes, there might be drama there, but is it completely unimaginable to think some 13 yr old chemist saw two volatile elements and decided to drop a grenade to watch the drama?	/r/MensRights	13/05/12 03:33 PM
1	Just a thing I'd like to say about feminists coming to this subreddit and how they're received That's a book I've been interested in reading for ages now, but never got around to. (My idea was more along the line of "Hey, genie, if I could have one wish I'd make everyone biologically their opposite".) The idea of changing genders - I don't want to be a guy, but I'm fascinated by the perspective shift that you'd undergo. This article is a fascinating look at the actual differences one person experienced making the female to male transition - social, physical, and emotional. I haven't found…	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 11:59 PM
2	Just a thing I'd like to say about feminists coming to this subreddit and how they're received Hi! My name is bookwench (from which you can correctly infer that I'm a female) and I'm a humanist. What this means is I see gendered language in the legal system and gender bias in every system as inherently evil, no matter which gender it's supposed to be protecting. The only place gender has in our legal system is in strict definitions of biology. I disagree with laws meant to isolate or divide our species into compartments of any kind. We are all humans and all laws should apply equally to a…	/r/MensRights	30/04/12 11:56 PM
1	Men are affected by domestic abuse I watched my stepmother abuse my father for 6 years. (He wasn't any peach as a parent, but she was a straight-out psycho.) The verbal portion was constant, the physical was intermittent but really violent. She was abusive to me too, but only as a sort of bonus; like in marrying my dad she got a two-for-one special in people to hurt. When I think of inter-relationship or familial abuse, there's no gender to it. Any human being in any relationship can abuse their significant other. Men, women, bot…	/r/MensRights	30/04/12 11:11 PM
3	More men choosing kids over career I love the fact that this is true, that it's growing more socially acceptable for men to stay home and be the dad. I know a couple couples who made this choice (they moved a lot, and the woman's job was more transferable and childcare was expensive). There's still some idiot folks who look at these guys and see a deadbeat slacker, though, which is sad.	/r/MensRights	30/04/12 10:56 PM
