4	Why is it teach young boys about the dangers of misogyny and not also teach young girls about the dangers of misandry I'm only one woman, but, well...I do. I won't let my stepdaughters get away with comments like "well isn't that just like a man," or "oh, duh, men" or similar derogatory remarks, any more than I'll let my stepson get away with misogynist remarks. We're Catholic, so I have a built in way of stopping this sort of thing in its tracks: if all humans are made in the Image of God, then doesn't that include men? So every time you denigrate anyone, including men, you're denigrating the Image of God. I…	/r/MensRights	05/12/23 01:56 AM
2	When I tell women that I was raped every time they have gotten hostile like rape is property of women only. They get mad. Professors, pastors, family members. Then they say not to use that word or they attack me and call me a liar misogynist. I literally can't talk about my life to anyone. That's not just rape, that's entrapment and fraud on top of it.	/r/MensRights	05/12/23 01:31 AM
2	When I tell women that I was raped every time they have gotten hostile like rape is property of women only. They get mad. Professors, pastors, family members. Then they say not to use that word or they attack me and call me a liar misogynist. I literally can't talk about my life to anyone. Talk here. There are women on this sub who know full well that it's possible for men to be raped, both by other men and by women. I'm female and just off the top of my head I can think of several ways to force a man even if their erection just plain ain't happening. I'll lay good odds that the other females here can do the same thing. If we can do that, we can agree that men can be raped and we can listen. It's a lousy substitute, but it is something we can offer.	/r/MensRights	05/12/23 01:29 AM
2	Female MRA here. I have a question for you guys. Sometimes you do have to talk the talk. My stepdaughter had picked up comments from her mother that were coming out as "well, isn't that just like a man?" or "ugh, men and boys." I asked my husband to let me correct her because she needed to hear an adult female say that that kind of talk isn't okay. It's what leads to men getting rights denied. It worked a heck of a lot better than her brother's complaints did, and I daresay it's because I was throwing a bit of female privilege into it. And t…	/r/MensRights	05/12/23 01:00 AM
1	Female MRA here. I have a question for you guys. This. I've twice been married to men who were slapped with unbelievably high child support because of some twisted belief that men apparently don't need a roof over their head or something. One of those men was abusive to me. As in, I had bruises and sprains etc. That's part of the reason he's an ex-husband. He told me it was because of "his bad experience" with his daughter's mother and I bluntly snapped back that holding me guilty for her crimes was the same as a woman blaming all men for the …	/r/MensRights	05/12/23 12:58 AM
2	Female MRA here. I have a question for you guys. raises hand Another feminist men's rights supporter here, although I often refer to myself as a "classical feminist" to indicate that my views are closer to an older definition of feminism than they are to some of today's definitions. That older definition is essentially rooted in the idea that women should not be forced to be SAHMs and wives if they don't want to be -- which carries the corollary that men certainly can be SAHFs if that's what works best for their marriage. I've suffered discr…	/r/MensRights	05/12/23 12:53 AM
2	Its always "my body my choice" when its the women affected Plenty of women out there who object to both abortions and any draft at all. I'm pro-life and I also absolutely do not want my stepson sent somewhere to be cannon fodder for the rich cats in our current government.	/r/MensRights	30/11/23 08:31 PM
2	Dear Left Wing Male Advocates, why do you support mens rights but vote left? on the right they want smaller government and people to be more free Not true in modern American politics. It's more accurate to say that the Republicans support large corporate interests and the Democrats support small corporate interests. Both have been responsible for increasing the size of the government ever since the Reagan era, and neither are particularly interested in individual freedoms except for those particular special interest groups they want to promote. Feminists seem to overwh…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/11/23 07:48 PM
25	Dear Mens Rights activists, why do some of you vote left? It is not necessary for me to hate men in order to like women. Nor is it necessary for me to hate women in order to support men. These zero-sum arguments are both fallacious. I vote based on policy.	/r/MensRights	26/11/23 08:32 PM
4	Feel useless as a partner or family man No, I'm telling you that if you have a problem, then you need to go work on it. Don't blame women for a problem that you can fix. Fix the problem instead. That's how men tend to approach things, and as a woman who wants men to act like men, that's what I would expect a man to do.	/r/MensRights	25/11/23 08:48 PM
2	Why is emasculation played for jokes in the media and how is it affecting society's view of masculinity? I recently got into a discussion about the Star Trek: Enterprise episode, "Unexpected," which features a man getting accidentally impregnated by a woman because she didn't think the activity in question would work across species (and he didn't realize the activity in question was that species' version of sex). It's then played for laughs. During this discussion I mentioned that it's the one episode I won't allow to be aired in my house, because I don't think r*pe is funny regardless of whether t…	/r/MensRights	25/11/23 08:44 PM
1	Kanye West to pay Kim Kardashian $200,000 per month in child support That is an obscenity.	/r/MensRights	25/11/23 08:37 PM
1	„Men can’t handle strong independent women“ is the same thing as „women don’t like nice guys“ That's been my experience. Generally, if I get this line from a man, I immediately shoot back a question: why does the presence of strong, independent women threaten your masculinity? Don't you think that says more about you than it does about them?	/r/MensRights	25/11/23 08:35 PM
1	Feel useless as a partner or family man But tbh I feel so useless to society. I don’t have necessarily a hard skill that people can rely on besides fighting. If you feel this way, you're only going to attract women who aren't interested in finding men who can contribute to society. That doesn't sound like the kind of woman you're looking for. Not a handy man, don’t make a lot of money. I wish my kindness was seen as something as a man but it’s not as much I feel. I feel I could be a great father in terms of understanding but in terms …	/r/MensRights	25/11/23 08:30 PM
1	Why do so many women think all men want is sex? I think it comes from differing viewpoints about emotions and sex. Many of the (very good!) men I've met often express their emotions via physical means. For them, sex is one of the ways that they show a woman how much they love her. It's also a time when they themselves can be emotionally vulnerable and also check to see if it's "safe" to be emotionally vulnerable in other circumstances with a particular woman. Thus, if a woman rejects sex, it can be interpreted as rejecting emotional intimacy.…	/r/MensRights	25/11/23 08:01 PM
2	Are all women Gaslighters? This. I'm a woman and six weeks into a relationship? Is not the time to be talking about sharing bank accounts to begin with. And for the record -- I'll never share my bank account with anyone again, male or female, after what my first husband did to me. Thankfully, my current husband agreed. Of course, I put it into context by explaining why along with stating the position. I also pointed out that his ex could have access to my income (for CS calculation purposes) if we had a joint account, and…	/r/MensRights	10/11/23 05:07 PM
1	Dealing with feminists who don't hate men but are afraid to say it Hi, here's another feminist who absolutely adores men and wants them to be men instead of trying to make them be like women. My sister women often do not understand that. I think it's because so much of our society codes "female" as "weak and undesirable" and "male" as "strong and desirable," that the rabid feminists actually try to take on male characteristics and/or redefine them as female. As an example: I've been criticized because I do the end-sentence rising thing a lot and I've been told …	/r/MensRights	04/11/23 12:10 AM
3	I'm still a Feminist I consider the "feminist" movement to have left me, not the other way around. Back when it was about actual equality between women and men, I was all for it. It was when it started being about hating men, medicating boys so that they would act more like girls, seeing men as little more than ATMs from which the maximum child support and alimony should be extracted, and similar, that I said "enough." I still consider myself to be feminist in outlook, and I actually agree that male privilege is a t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/06/23 02:34 PM
1	Can I be an MRA and a feminist at the same time? Because women should be allowed to develop their own personality and destiny. I would add here that I also consider it patriarchal to assume that men CAN'T be nurturing and caregivers. Isn't that up to men, and not society?	/r/MensRights	04/10/22 06:13 PM
1	Can I be an MRA and a feminist at the same time? Patriarchy is real. The thing is, so is female privilege. It's in different spheres, that's all. For example, I hold that abortion is a tool of the patriarchy because it tells women that they have to become like men if they want to be treated as seriously as men when it comes to education and the workforce. Women shouldn't have to give up their fertility and the opportunity for motherhood in order to do that. But I also hold that the current system is nakedly biased toward women because they get…	/r/MensRights	20/09/22 05:58 PM
1	Can I be an MRA and a feminist at the same time? I certainly hope so, seeing as I am. Of course, I'm more Second Wave feminism (equal opportunities, the ability to have your own financial accounts, etc.) than I am supportive of the recent stuff. I also am quick to point out that if we women want rights, we have to accept responsibilities. Which means I have no patience for the use of abuse allegations as a "strategy" in divorce proceedings. This means that those who are ACTUALLY abused are less likely to get the help they need. I have no patie…	/r/MensRights	20/09/22 05:46 PM
