0	Woman raped 14yo boy - pedophilic Guardian describes it as "starting a sexual relationship". She also brutalized children, but portrayed as victim. The crimes committed by men? Well that was "abuse" n Let me rephrase: I don't think rape, in this kind of context of underaged sex (can't legally give consent if they wanted to), should be slammed as rape without more context. Was the boy forced into it? Was the boy abused? Was it verbally consensual? There's different levels of rape on both ends of the spectrum. What I'm saying is that underage sex isn't more of a concern than abusive rape is. Regardless of whether that's rape on man or rape on women. And the fact is, rape on women is a bigger pr…	/r/MensRights	05/12/14 08:23 PM
0	Woman raped 14yo boy - pedophilic Guardian describes it as "starting a sexual relationship". She also brutalized children, but portrayed as victim. The crimes committed by men? Well that was "abuse" n I can see where this gets tricky. The statement I'm about to make is general, and not specific to this case. There's vast amounts of underage kids having sex, technically all of that is rape. I don't, however, think that this is the kind of rape that calls for as much attention as compared to what else is out there right now. I think what does need attention is the abusive rape, and generally the abuse of children by women. I think the rape of women by men that's just a rampant problem needs att…	/r/MensRights	05/12/14 07:26 PM
3	Woman raped 14yo boy - pedophilic Guardian describes it as "starting a sexual relationship". She also brutalized children, but portrayed as victim. The crimes committed by men? Well that was "abuse" n There is no mention of rape. The title is misleading.	/r/MensRights	05/12/14 06:51 PM
6	University of Virginia suspends all fraternities (affecting 3500 students) after woman who did not go to police alleges rape in sensational Rolling Stone magazine article Sorry if this is a bit of stupid question, but I live outside North America and don't really understand what a fraternity is; is it essentially just an extra-curricular group/gathering exclusively for men that share a common interest? Why is it exclusive to men if the focus of the fraternity isn't, for example, men's rights or awareness?	/r/MensRights	23/11/14 12:35 PM
2	Father with no rights: Mother stops him seeing daughter for 12 YEARS - despite 82 court orders demanding she back down "The father – who, unlike the child’s mother, cannot claim legal aid" What does this mean? Why can't he claim legal aid—literally because he's a father and not a mother? What law makes this a reality? :L	/r/MensRights	09/11/14 02:35 PM
1	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism Also, then what is there a movement that calls for gender/sex equality, over and above anything else?	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:44 PM
1	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism But does its core, fundamental belief clash with that of an MRA?	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:43 PM
3	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism Okay, I suppose this argument does make sound sense. But what extremist, mainstream feminists have done things that contend with the beliefs that MRAs hold, that hasn't been condemned by other feminists? I mean, going by the IS example, modern-day muslims living in Western society openly condemn what IS are doing—thus showing us that we needn't hate all muslims for what IS are doing.	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:42 PM
0	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism Yes but that doesn't speak on how feminism equates to man-hate. I understand that there are definitely fundamental issues with men's rights that desperately need attention, but how does being a feminism clash with being an MRA?	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:40 PM
0	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism But does that mean that we have to condemn all feminists? I suppose to some extent people should be more aware of the movements they claim to be a part of, and the actions of those very movements (i.e. feminists should be aware of the immense man-hate that has been a prominent part of the movement over the years), but the thing is, can't feminists re-define what feminism is? And since you seem to be in agreement that the dictionary-definition-feminism doesn't contend with advocating for men's ri…	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:37 PM
1	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism lmao I'm not a troll, I'm a teenage kid who doesn't understand what the big fuss is about. Feminism is a hate movement based on a false theory of social victimhood (aka the patriarchy theory), that is responsable for many or most of the mens rights issues that exist today. Do you realise that you just contradicted yourself? If it's a "false theory", how can it not only exist, but also be responsible for men's rights issues?	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:33 PM
1	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism And Saudi Arabia is not representative of Islam. Trust me, you need to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzusSqcotDw	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:30 PM
1	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism Honestly, I don't like going out and labelling myself with any school of thought anymore, simply because of how much misinterpretation, abuse and general corruption of each label there is. But the problem I've realised is that there are honestly feminists that want nothing more than equality, but go by feminism because it addresses the problems that they were directly affected by. I just want to appeal to everyone, without having to appeal to either MRAs or feminists.	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:28 PM
1	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism Okay where do you guys get all these facts from? (not playing skeptic, I'm honestly interested) I've just been made aware of the likes of how men are raped more than women. I honestly wasn't aware. I suppose I judged the situation based on hypotheticals too much?	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:26 PM
2	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism So why are men raped more? They are? I wasn't aware, where did you get that from? Again, I've been a bit weary of the fact that the hard, cold facts can prove me wrong. But I haven't come across any such hard, cold facts.	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:24 PM
1	Advocating for men's rights ≠ being against feminism I haven't personally studied the Qur'an, so I'm not sure whether ISIS/Al Qaeda DO take the ideals of Islam the most seriously, or whether their ideals are based on misinterpretations. Let's just say that their motivations and actions are acting purely out of the ideals of the Qur'an and Islam, and aren't misinterpretations. This makes them representative of the THEORY of Islam. This does NOT, however, make them representative of Muslims. By and large, Muslims do not believe that anyone who conve…	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 09:21 PM
-5	How do you define feminism? "They believe that society is designed to benefit men, thus, they cannot be truly oppressed by it." — I would disagree. I think a big part of the oppression against men is actually because of the patriarchal archetype that exists in certain communities—being an Indian, patriarchy is very, very deeply ingrained into our culture, and I can attest to the fact that men are oppressed by their own expectations. So going with that, perhaps the patriarchal society /was/ defined to benefit men, but has u…	/r/MensRights	04/10/14 11:22 PM
