6	Done with the excuses People bring up the statistical overrepresentation (or what they believe to be statistically true) to defend prejudice toward men (e.g., "most rapists are men"). EVEN IF the stats were true, the same logic is unacceptable for other groups. If black people are overrepresented in prisons do we all then believe all black people are criminals? No. Given that nearly 100% of mothers are women, do we then assume that all women are to-be mothers (or that they should have a child)? Some people think so, …	/r/MensRights	09/07/21 12:03 PM
-5	If You Want a Marriage of Equals, Then Date as Equals \| Researcher surprised to find that while women want "equal" relationships with men, they also want men to ask them out, organise dates, pay for everything, initiate sex & propose marriage. And they don't see any contradiction in that. This! Thank you. If we cared about men's rights, it shouldn't automatically mean that we bash women and forget that many heterosexual men enable, expect, and demand these behaviors from women...	/r/MensRights	17/02/20 04:39 PM
1	Women “doing the math”? Yeah I wouldn't say you're hijacking the conversation just by disagreeing with someone's position. I disagree with your buddy. I agree with you that there's a distinction. On the one hand, a criticism or an evaluation of a movement or ideology can be assumed to be open to debate and criticism if made public. On the other hand, someone reporting their personal experiences might be assumed to be calling for support or simply wanting to raise awareness, although making that public opens you up to s…	/r/MensRights	15/10/18 05:29 AM
4	We get it, females are empowered. I recently saw a shirt for kids that read "I'm a girl. What's your superpower?" Why are we teaching kids that belonging to one gender automatically means you have power? Isn't that the definition of sexism?	/r/MensRights	11/10/18 06:56 PM
3	Women “doing the math”? I would assume most girls are not explicitly told to do this but more that adults and media imply that men are threats (e.g., in TV shows, movies, or news, you usually see male kidnappers/villains, and materials that warn children of suspicious individuals usually portray men as threats). I would further assume that girls are taught to be careful more often than boys, since people tend to think girls are more vulnerable and are more targeted than boys are. I'm an adult woman who believes this si…	/r/MensRights	11/10/18 06:30 PM
3	A small win She started talking about safety measures in general terms (not gendered) so it's possible that she missed the point or didn't know what else to say. I am an optimist though, so I hope that it at least planted a small seed in her head - and maybe those who were around in the conversation too.	/r/MensRights	27/09/18 04:48 AM
1	A small win Ah I see! I wasn't thinking through. Thanks!	/r/MensRights	27/09/18 04:40 AM
20	A experience I had today that sheds light on the hypocrisy against men in our society. Did the teacher correct these students' comments?? I sincerely hope it was a teachable moment and the teacher took the opportunity....	/r/MensRights	22/05/18 03:37 AM
1	Positivity check-in: Post here any story about progress in our struggle for recognition. That's great!! I hope the social workers retain that knowledge and put into practice :) Progress!	/r/MensRights	07/01/18 05:49 AM
3	Positivity check-in: Post here any story about progress in our struggle for recognition. I got a group of my colleagues/friends to watch The Red Pill movie with me. Some (I assume) came in skeptical and expected themselves to get angry at MRA. I specifically invited people who I know are interested in gender (women's) issues and social justice but who I also suspect are not as aware of men's issues. After the movie, many expressed being surprised at how reasonable the arguments presented were. We got the men in the room talking, touching on topics like circumcision and gender pay ga…	/r/MensRights	06/01/18 06:11 AM

2	Sexual Harassment - sometimes there's more to the story...a lot more... Exactly! Yes, I've corrected my views and behaviors since and do my best not to hurt others or do wrong. But we all make mistakes. I think your story nicely highlights the fact that most of us to some extent have done stupid things. Unfortunately some people take longer to learn or never at all.	/r/MensRights	17/11/17 06:36 AM
1	Sexual Harassment - sometimes there's more to the story...a lot more... Agree. Drives me crazy when people say "if someone tells you they were harassed/assaulted/raped, first believe them." No thanks, I don't just believe people blindly.	/r/MensRights	17/11/17 03:45 AM
3	Sexual Harassment - sometimes there's more to the story...a lot more... Thank you! I've been thinking that people are sooo caught up on these high-profile cases and aren't distinguishing silly behaviors from predatory behaviors. I'm a young adult female and will admit that me and my female friends have harassed men, pressured men into sex, humiliated men in front of their friends, heck some of us as teens have been physically violent against boys. Can we please start talking about stupid behaviors we do as young people when we're not educated about these issues and …	/r/MensRights	17/11/17 03:43 AM
12	Cosmo says it's bad that men get turned on during sex... What a party pooper. I like that he gets turned on watching me. Leave us alone.	/r/MensRights	03/11/17 11:40 PM
7	Are you serious? This is so insane that it took me literally several minutes to understand what they're implying.....	/r/MensRights	20/10/17 05:50 AM
7	Found this on a pole in my university. Seriously? Do you have a source for that claim? I agree with you and it sounds plausible, but there are also a lot of porn videos targeting men that's about forcefully making girls give head and see them choke, tying them up, spanking, etc.	/r/MensRights	02/08/17 11:35 AM
