| 3 | Swedish Law Would Allow Men To Back Out Of FatherhoodThat is ridiculous. If a woman is not willing to dedicate the rest of her life to having and raising a baby she should not have sexual intercourse. Unless she has an abortion. Or unless she give the kid up for adoption. Or unless she traps a man to pay for it. You don't get to have all reproductive rights, and deny the other entity any. | /r/MensRights | 04/04/16 08:44 PM |

| 0 | How has being a man personally affected you? What are some personal anecdotes about how being a man has negatively affected you.After a life time of fighting through the crap of the expectations of manliness I have a wonderful life. For years I have been a mentor to young troubled boys, I am currently and have been for many years a teacher. Feminism was a great movement that paved the way for equality for women. I am on this particular sub and work in my daily life to help the masses realize that it is also time to free the men from our own little slice of hell. Gender roles are so deeply entrenched into what it means to… | /r/MensRights | 10/11/14 02:37 AM |

What are some personal anecdotes about how being a man has negatively affected you.The constant threat of physical violence is has been very real in my life, though that has started to pass as I am now in my early 30's. How has being a man negatively affected me. Let me list the ways. To start of with, I am a large man 6'2 am very big into power-lifting. Mind you I like to lift heavy things, not look like a blown up.

Can you suggest?Being in trouble is not that bothersome, but the impact can be limited by staying on topic.

I would like to focus on the health issues facing men, prostate and testicular cancer, depression. Where men can find help, and just general information that a man needs in real life.

| 0 | I feel this has less to do with feminism . . .How this pic reads, the person who made it was not concerned with the boyfriend. She was concerned with the fact that society created a system that forced his girlfriend to act that way towards him. The rapist/female is the victim. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/12 05:42 PM |

I work in a realm of highly troubled boys, and by boys I mean 14 year old with the bodies and strength of men. They act out and hurt themselves or others around them. There is only a few options when it gets to a certain point.

| 1 | Cross post from R/Teachers "No Hugs"I am a teacher, and with the policies it can seem terrible, but you can affect and influence many children to grow even with the no touching. Though I would never ever ever ever ever be a elementary school teacher, because you are automatically assumed to just be a strait pedo. I have watched a lot of male teacher friends quickly go back and become secondary ed teachers after a year in elementary school. | /r/MensRights | 29/08/12 05:22 PM |
| 2 | Fellow MRA's I am at the end of my rope. I'm done. Fucking DONE.This is going to sound terrible. It seems all to clear that you want to know and see your daughter. Leave, leave the country. Try and save up a thousand bucks if at all possible and move to Asia. You can be a teacher, make decent money. The downfall is, you are giving up hope that you will ever overcome the system that keeps you from your daughter. This is a cold, and terrible thing, but it may be one of your only options. If the only other path is going to lead you to death. | /r/MensRights | 30/07/12 10:22 PM |
| 1 | "Grass-Eating Men"I think it is, for lack of better word, brilliant. I had never heard of these grass eaters before. I think the ideas of what is masculine damages many men, and to see a race of men the Japanese turning tail on the old ideology, is fascinating. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/12 03:38 AM |
| 2 | "Grass-Eating Men"This same or at least similar thing seems to be happening in the USA. Men are forgoing the core values of masculinity for a life that is more self focused and less ingrained with the idea that money, women and power are the core to happiness. Do you really believe it is just the economic conditions that are affecting these Japanese men, or is there something else. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/12 03:24 AM |
| 1 | "Grass-Eating Men"I do not think the vegetarian aspect of it is the main part, but a much larger disassociation from previous generations ideology of masculinity. These "grass-eaters" are not only forgoing the meat, but the hunt. Hunt of women, hunt of marriage, hunt of sex, hunt of work. It is curious why men in two different societies are giving up on what has previously been declared as the only way to be a man. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/12 03:22 AM |

| 1 | 6 yo boy suspended for sexual harassmentI do not believe there were any kind of charges filed. I know he was removed from the school for awhile, but he did eventually even come back from that. I really couldn't say if he stayed in the custody of his parents or not, or was put in someone else's control. I was a middle school teacher, an this was a elementary school kid at my school. The only reason I was privy to it at all, was because he was selling to my students. | /r/MensRights | 05/05/12 02:16 PM |

| 1 | 6 yo boy suspended for sexual harassmentAgain the important item I feel to take from this is not, he was singing a bad song, but that it was not addressed by the parent in the first instance when it became a problem. And I cannot imagine this is the full story, there is something more going on here, some more disturbances than just singing a chorus of a song by himself on the playground. Just my opinion based on my own history. Which is worth about nothing. | /r/MensRights | 05/05/12 05:06 AM |

Seen kids doing it with contraband such as "food" items. Bringing them in bulk, and selling them for large profits.

| 4 | 6 yo boy suspended for sexual harassmentWe had a child 8 years old at my last school who set up a drug ring.

It more comes down to how you handle it after it becomes a problem. I imagine, and I am completly talking from my ass, that when he first got into trouble for this it was not the first time he had done it. And the parent probably brushed it off as nothing.

I feel like this is less of gender inequality and more of poor parenting. If the boy had been in trouble twice for the exact same thing. Maybe someone should have spoken to him about not singing that specific song to others. | /r/MensRights | 04/05/12 07:52 PM |

We are now the minority in the post-secondary education, where women have extraordinary growth.
