13	Not bad, not bad at all. This is the first I've seen this. I'm glad I had the chance to see it - I think it's a well-done ad.	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 04:17 PM
3	Do these signs bother anybody else? There are regulations that dictate the number/distance of handicapped spaces. Pregnancy spots, however, are not regulated - there's no consequence for using them if you aren't pregnant, for one, and secondly, they can't supersede a handicapped space. So there's no "probably" about it.	/r/MensRights	27/05/12 12:41 PM
3	Why don't Feminists care about or even mention the fact that 99% of the homeless people that one sees on a daily basis are male? In the name of intellectual honesty, while homelessness is disproportionately male - poverty is not. Of single adults, the numbers are fairly even (25 million men to 26 million women). In households, the majority are married couples (59 million), followed by 14 million female householders and 5 million men. Source: census.gov	/r/MensRights	27/06/11 12:30 PM
1	Why don't Feminists care about or even mention the fact that 99% of the homeless people that one sees on a daily basis are male? I'd love a link to that study. I wasn't having much luck in hard numbers for unsheltered homeless demographics, which isn't particularly surprising. It isn't the easiest population to count. But still, a 6% variation between studies doesn't make homelessness a problem for only one gender. Children (of both genders) under 18 represent 39% of the total homeless population, at around 1.37 million. That's 1 in every 50. This is a broad societal problem.	/r/MensRights	27/06/11 05:04 AM
12	Why don't Feminists care about or even mention the fact that 99% of the homeless people that one sees on a daily basis are male? According to HUD, men comprise a total of 64% of the homeless population - this includes single males, youth, and men in families. Women make up 36% of the homeless population. The biggest difference between genders is in how they break up into units - most men are single entities, but women are more likely to be part of a homeless family unit (81% of homeless families are adult women with children). So, yes - men are disproportionately represented in the homeless population, but could we pay at…	/r/MensRights	27/06/11 04:31 AM
2	Crowdsourced philanthropy for Career Gear - organization helping low-income men with interview attire This is very cool. The importance of attire at a job interview can be huge, and I think men often face more consequences for not fitting the "uniform" of the suit.	/r/MensRights	14/06/11 01:40 PM
1	From 2xc...."You did it to yourselves!!" The "pat" part being often misleading or inacccurate is part of why "kyriarchy" is becoming a more popular term for systemic oppression - whether by class, race, age, orientation, gender, ability, etc. That system of reckoning also acknowledges that it is possible for someone who is normally priviliged to not benefit from that in all situations - because the real world is more complicated than "The Man" is keeping us down. edit: And go me, for belatedly reading the last part of your comment on k…	/r/MensRights	08/06/11 08:10 PM
1	From 2xc...."You did it to yourselves!!" I would think -either- gender getting custody "by default" should be regarded as a bad thing. Pre-feminism, in a divorce, the woman had no money of her own, no possessions, had restrictions on what she could do for income and barriers to owning property. It did not reflect on caregiving, but on the reality that women were economically disadvantaged. Furthermore, attitudes about childcare have significantly changed in the past century - in the victorian era, rich children were raised by domestic …	/r/MensRights	08/06/11 08:01 PM
