| 17 | TIL that in June 2026, the European Court of Human Rights explicitly ruled that forcing ONLY men to serve in the military—or forcing unfit/disabled men to pay a multi-year financial penalty tax instead—is NOT unlawful sex discrimination.But, but, but, it's men who legislated these! This means the laws can't possibly be sexist against men, right? Right? Somehow, a good number of people aren't able to distinguish policy-makers/politicians, their gender, and the actual content of legislation. | /r/MensRights | 20/07/26 01:37 AM |
| 26 | Only 38.8% of all college degrees are awarded to men (as of 2022)Exactly. It's extremely disingenuous. Half decade ago, computer science was extremely hot, and everyone was going up in arms about the CS gender gap. Admissions became extremely gendered, particularly at elite institutions. Now that CS is no longer as popular, it's the "Gender AI Gap". When it came to STEM, there was a question of whether CS should be regarded as STEM given it's nature. That's debatable (I'm of the opinion that it should), but there were many gender activists who were fudging nu… | /r/MensRights | 11/02/26 11:13 AM |
| 69 | Women: "Why are all men leaning right-wing?"That would be the global gender gap index. You are correct. It is a one-sided index by design. It is deeply disturbing that the index is still used by policymakers and academics. There are 4 subcategories that form the index, education economic participation, political representation and health outcomes. A score of 1 or more means women do better than men, while less than one means men do better. Each subindex is truncated at 1 and then averaged over to give the GGGI. In other words, unless wome… | /r/MensRights | 20/05/25 09:45 PM |
| 2 | Why do some women genuinely think men have it MUCH better?So, what makes meeting in person today more risky than it was before online dating existed I don't think that online dating caused it per se, but false accusations, the increased hostility from women towards men, or more generally rising tensions across genders have made the worst possible outcomes in a date much worse. Even though "rare", the lack of any form of recourse in a FA (or even just someone spitefully spreading rumors) make men much more cautious when meeting someone in person. A majo… | /r/MensRights | 24/11/23 12:25 AM |
| 2 | Why do some women genuinely think men have it MUCH better?Also, for my own curiosity, why is online dating so prevalent despite it seeming so horrible for a lot of people It's prevalent because of the risks (to both men and women) of meeting in person too soon is much higher today. It's also much more convenient and perceived as a relatively active (as opposed to passive) method of getting to find a partner. It's not necessarily representative of all forms of dating, of course. But it's a prominent, if not dominant mode of finding dates today. The fact… | /r/MensRights | 23/11/23 05:25 PM |
| 3 | Stop Telling Men It’s Okay To CryProblems that men face are typically concrete ones. If you are in a position to help, that's great! But if you're not, please do not use it as an opportunity to virtue signal (especially if it's in a public setting) by pretending you "care", that just makes things worse. Just tell him privately that if he wants a listening ear, you'd be there (and be actually there if he needs it). He may or may not seek for your support, but knowing that he's not alone can be a breath of fresh air. | /r/MensRights | 15/10/23 05:19 AM |
| 6 | A Nobel prize for proving the gender wage gap does not exist through discrimination.This is entitlement at it's finest. When in the world did the freedom to choose become a burden? Just so you know, once kids enter the picture, men are extremely rarely given the opportunity to choose---you better work your ass at that point. And trust me, many men would love to be a stay at home dad rather than slog to place food for 3 (or more) on the table. Ultimately, it's the couple's decision. If a woman wants kids AND a full time career, she better be upfront and find a partner who shares… | /r/MensRights | 09/10/23 06:50 PM |
| 3 | Looked at the WEF "Gender Gap Index" for Education. Guess how they ranked all the countries in which women are succeeding more than men?The GGGI is among the most disgusting indices created, yet many well intentioned people continue to take it seriously, simply because of the "credence" afforded by the WEF. The bias isn't just induced by the sneaking in the use of a one-sided index (justification hidden in fine print as to how they don't want to start a "gender war") for measuring educational outcomes. It spills over to the health subindex as well. Parity has also been essentially achieved in all countries in terms of life expec… | /r/MensRights | 02/09/23 11:02 AM |
| 1 | What's the most masculine trait In your opinion ?I beg to differ. Sacrifice is stereotypically and traditionally masculine. Whether it's healthy for the man (or even society), is another issue altogether... | /r/MensRights | 19/06/23 12:26 AM |
| 1 | What's the most masculine trait In your opinion ?Sacrificing for the greater good (community/family), often without them even knowing or acknowledging. | /r/MensRights | 18/06/23 12:03 PM |
| 1 | ‘Quite depressing’: Incel community was so sad researchers studying it felt badIt's really difficult to take this study seriously. Take a look at the supplementary material. The words "girl" and "female" are considered misogynistic. Apparently, "lady" and "woman" are neutral. The words "prostitute", "Karen", "plain Jane", are also misogynistic (prostitute is supposedly offensive, but sex-worker isn't). I also found it amusing that a study of the Incel community regards the word "femcel" as misogynistic. This rather broad definition of misogyny isn't some tiny artifact. In … | /r/MensRights | 16/06/23 12:08 PM |
| 16 | Marry Him: The case for Settling for Mr. Good EnoughI don't have any problem with women who adopt this attitude. It's their life and their choice. I do have an issue with the narrative being fed to boys and men. Men need to be aware of the dominant dating culture today and go in with our eyes open. I think society is in this odd transitionary phase where societal conditioning of boys/men is lagging behind reality. In a few generations, we went from "one partner for life" to "one partner at a time" to "any number of partners, any time". Traditiona… | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 01:20 PM |
| 1 | At what point in your life, did you stop being affected by calls to "man up"?When I realized the majority of those who say that (and the like) do not have a modicum of my interest at heart. | /r/MensRights | 14/04/23 12:27 PM |
| 3 | The idea female friendships are stronger than male friendshipsI'm not sure if I'd call them stronger, but good female friends tend to be more personal, especially at an emotional level. For a man, that can be extremely rare, and thus special. I tend to share my innermost worries and fears with female, rather than male friends. It feels unconditional, though in truth it's rarely the case, and you can easily be "dropped-off" for saying something wrong, or having outlived your usefulness. Male friends are imo, much more honest and direct. As guys, we're often… | /r/MensRights | 31/01/23 02:03 AM |
| 114 | Good aspects of being a man?I feel men have it physically better (on average). Being able to carry heavier loads, endure harsher environments, reach for objects placed higher up, no monthly periods etc. Of course, there are some downsides (e.g., shorter lifespans on average, though that can be partially attributed to work environments), but overall if I were thrown alone on a deserted island, I'd be thankful I was a dude. I can think of absolutely nothing legally or socially, at least in today's context. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/23 03:53 AM |
| 47 | Why is the default insult always “incel”? Isn’t that insult indirectly reducing women to sexual objects…..?I struggle to see how anyone with a reasonable moral compass can accept these arguments as civil, let alone as legitimate or meaningful responses. Especially 1,5, and 7. Take 7. I've been (and am still being), one account of my gender been discriminated in job applications. Similarly, I have been forced into military training in my teenage years. So yes, I've been hurt on account of my gender. And thats the main reason I'm into men's rights. What in the world is wrong, or for that matter, contro… | /r/MensRights | 26/12/22 01:14 PM |

| 2 | Some good news for a man today: Won his sexual discrimination lawsuitExactly. This whole "tiebreaking" thing is actually a cop-out. Actual ties occur very rarely where objective metrics are concerned. Furthermore, in practice theres a huge room for subjective criterion (e.g., is the person "nice" to work with), and thats where gender biases can really creep in. | /r/MensRights | 18/11/22 01:35 PM |
| 6 | Why this sub lacks intelligent discourseIt's not uncommon at all. The first result from google gives this . Scroll through the list and see for yourself how skewed it is against men. In case you're wondering, I'm from Singapore, have already served 2 years, and as part of the reserves, am still liable for all sorts of duties. Theres (at the very least) your "0.01%" of the people in this subreddit. | /r/MensRights | 15/08/22 05:29 AM |
| 3 | How do I benefit from the patriarchy?I know this is meant to be light hearted, but in countries like mine, baby boys get a letter informing our parents of liability for military service alongside their birth certificate. The patriarchy starter pack gets delivered even before we are self-aware. | /r/MensRights | 05/07/22 12:32 AM |
| 4 | How possible is it for the US, the UK, and Australia to have an anti-feminist running for president and winning the election?Yes, Yoon won while running a (relatively) anti-feminist campaign. But truth is, I doubt there would be significant change anytime soon. Even a (again relatively) simple propose like abolishing the Ministry of Women (as opposed to renaming it) is unlikely to be fulfilled. The gender wars in SK was incredibly intense, with extreme organizations like WOMAD and Megalia running amok. Men (virtually all of them) suffer from the triple whammy of mandatory military service, being precluded from a multi… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/22 09:11 PM |
| 1 | It’s “my body my choice” until it’s sending young men to die in wars1) 10 million is not a small discrepancy in the US, especially when there are elections decided by razor thin margins of < 1%. For example, around 65% of men and 68% of women voted in the presidential elections. Thats around a 5% difference, significant enough to swing more than enough states to change the election outcomes. Theres a reason why women are considered to be amongst the juiciest groups to target in an election. 2) Theres nothing physically or legally stopping men from voting (and I … | /r/MensRights | 01/06/22 02:39 AM |
| 5 | It’s “my body my choice” until it’s sending young men to die in warsI see this argument from feminists all the time. That because men are the perpetuators or the "ones with power", it is somehow not possible for men to be disadvantaged, or victims of so-called "reverse sexism". Yes, people in formal positions of authority are mostly men. But they are not acting or behaving in their capacity as men. Males in positions of authority are not making policies for or as men, they are decision makers who happen to be men. And even when their legitimacy was partly derive… | /r/MensRights | 31/05/22 04:11 PM |
| 1 | A word of advice ?Theres too little information to give concrete advice, so I'm just going to assume you're thinking of doing (your first) bachelor's degree and in the States. First, it is very important to understand that unlike the previous generations, higher education is a lot more commercialized and is no longer a 'tried and tested' way to move up the income ladder. So, you've got to choose your major carefully. Generally speaking, I'd say go for it if you're studying the hard sciences, math, computer scienc… | /r/MensRights | 12/05/22 04:53 PM |
| 2 | Does Society Allow Men To Show Emotions?"Allow" is quite a loaded term. I mean, sure, you're not going to get into legal trouble for just showing emotion (as long as its not violent). I think that men are certainly judged for showing negative emotion though, and much more so than women. It's nothing surprising really, once you accept that men's primary role in society is to be a tool ... to produce and provide. Would you buy a vehicle whose performance fluctuates with "emotion"? Or a computer whose processing speed changed depending o… | /r/MensRights | 24/04/22 05:08 AM |
| 9 | "Incel" is the misandry equivalent of misogyny's "slut" — The difference being: the use of the latter is unequivocally seen as morally wrong & hateful by societyI've always felt strange that calling someone an incel was a feminist's go-to retort when facing criticism. Is it that surprising that someone is much less likely to support preferential treatment for women if he didn't have a partner, nor as many female loved ones? Sure, I may be warmer (at least from a selfish, not principled perspective) to gender based quotas, special gender-based scholarships and protections for women and whatnot if I had a daughter or a partner. For men with fewer female f… | /r/MensRights | 17/04/22 04:04 PM |
| 7 | Feminists Don't Demand Equality In Times Of WarGreat Logical minds think alike. In Taiwan, this is referred to as "女權自助餐" which literally translates to "feminist buffet". This video features a Taiwanese guy debating with his girlfriend about gender. When it comes to mandatory service (4 months in their case), the lady persistently circles back to "but women must take care of kids", to which the guy replies by saying that, thats really her choice and there are no real penalties for not having kids. He then follows up by genuinely asking what … | /r/MensRights | 10/04/22 11:35 PM |
| 9 | Feminists Don't Demand Equality In Times Of WarDoes it matter?—losing your legs?... For people will always be kind, And you need not show that you mind When the others come in after hunting To gobble their muffins and eggs. Does it matter?—losing your sight?... There’s such splendid work for the blind; And people will always be kind, As you sit on the terrace remembering And turning your face to the light. Do they matter?—those dreams from the pit?... You can drink and forget and be glad, And people won’t say that you’re mad; For they’ll kno… | /r/MensRights | 10/04/22 06:53 AM |
| -2 | I'm team Ukraine and all, but the ban on all men from leaving the country is abslutely barbaric and disgusting.To me, the situation in Ukraine now is such that equality ought to take backseat. Survival, is, kind of a priority, and (for Ukrainians) to argue over equality is a distraction from the real issue. The problem is that when the crisis is resolved (albeit still in question), I guarantee that everyone --- in particular, activists, will conveniently forget the suffering that was imposed upon a single gender. And the focus will spiral back to the non-existent earnings gap, male gaze, foul language, l… | /r/MensRights | 22/03/22 11:11 PM |
| -3 | Your most controversial opinion about mens rights?As important as men's rights are, it should sometimes take backseat when compared to other more important issues like national security and the economy. It's commonplace to bash policies like the draft, e.g., by saying that the draft should be abolished for everyone. I come from a country which does impose male-only conscription (and having done it myself), and unfortunately, can't think of a reasonable alternative to it. It's incredibly unfair and there are serious repercussions with women taki… | /r/MensRights | 16/03/22 02:55 AM |
| 3 | Shouldn't countries compensate men in some way for doing military service (especially as it may mean they will be more likely to be conscripted)?To be fair, conscription is pretty much guaranteed to pay poorly---if not, there would be no need for it at all. I'm honestly fine with low pay. If it's justified and appreciated. Defence is important, I get it. The thing is, women and foreigners (which form a very significant part of Singapore's resident population) are barely cognizant of what men go through. In a study done several years back showed that to many, mandatory service was seen as a rite of passage to instill values, and as a form… | /r/MensRights | 04/03/22 02:52 AM |
| 2 | I don't understand this. Can someone explain it to me?As someone who lives in a country (Singapore) where I was made to serve in the military for 2 years, point (3) really irks me. Or rather, the utter apathy and indifference that females, often as a result of feminist brainwashing exhibit towards service. I can totally understand being drafted. I can accept that men are physically more suited for the military, or for that matter, most uniformed services, and I can concede that at some level, the military simply needs a certain level of "warm bodie… | /r/MensRights | 26/01/22 06:47 PM |
| 3 | What do you guys think about the "male gaze"?It's much more than just the fact that women can do it. If a certain behavior was indeed harmful to women (or anyone, for that matter) by some reasonable, objective metric, I have no qualms about taking the first step to stop this behavior, double standards or not. The problem is that anything that can be construed as making women feel "uncomfortable" is conveniently classified as harassment or some manifestation of toxic masculinity. And these days, the bar for what constitutes uncomfortablenes… | /r/MensRights | 24/01/22 03:12 PM |
| 5 | Outrage as Finnish Court Orders Man to Pay Alimony for Child That Resulted From His Wife CheatingSingaporean here as well. The thing is, I can understand why the draft is needed in practice. I can also understand why only men are drafted. Biological reasons aside, theres no real need to double the size of the reserves when there isn't such an operational requirement. I can even stomach the fact that women free-ride as long as there is mutual understanding as to why this imbalance exists. What irks me is how the government, along with feminists have in the past decade conditioned the populac… | /r/MensRights | 20/10/20 10:11 AM |
