1	Samsung portrays men as unevolved slobs. Gail Dines, an expert on sexist images in the media and a professor of sociology and women’s studies at Wheelock College in Boston, agrees. “It’s not funny because it normalizes masculine behavior and makes a joke of it,” she told Yahoo! Shine in a phone interview. “It’s the reality of many women’s lives, who get dinner ready, take care of the children, help with homework and do the housework, while the husbands are, in fact, sloth-like.” Can we really be expected to accept a conclusion like thi…	/r/MensRights	24/05/13 04:59 PM
1	Samsung portrays men as unevolved slobs. Further, she argues, men, who are in power in our society, cannot legitimately cry sexism. “You can say [this ad is] prejudiced, in bad taste, insulting, not funny,” she said. “But it can’t be sexist. Just like a black person can’t be racist. There's no justification for this premise. Membership in a historically disfavored group does not preclude bigotry.	/r/MensRights	24/05/13 04:54 PM
3	Samsung television commercial portrays men as useless, loutish neanderthals... and women as pushovers who put up with such behavior. That's awful.	/r/MensRights	24/05/13 04:34 PM
-1	Posted on someone I knows FB page. I see shit like this allllll the time. So where is the evidence on which the publishers relied to make this decision? Without including anything else as a premise, the logic of this post is circular, i.e. prejudice exists because someone assumed as much. I'm not saying that the publisher was wrong or that there isn't a bias in the publishing world (or male readership) -- only that this poster should rely on valid reasoning to make his/her point.	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 11:56 PM
-5	Posted on someone I knows FB page. I see shit like this allllll the time. But why did the publishers think that? Where's the evidence Rowling would have had any trouble had she used her first name? This poster seeks to establish the existence of a pattern by using the presumption that it exists as a premise.	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 11:46 PM
5	Professional privilege checker Gender studies can probably teach useful ways of analyzing trends. But it's not going to earn you marketable skills. The inability to get a job after graduating with such a fuzzy degree is not a reason for turning your back on gender equality. In short, quit complaining and go to grad school to learn something marketable.	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 06:49 PM
-7	Posted on someone I knows FB page. I see shit like this allllll the time. "Presumably." Let's just assume the truth of our conclusion, shall we?	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 06:43 PM
6	College student leader: Requiring substantial evidence of a sex offense before a student may be expelled 'automatically assum[es] the information from the victim is false' Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is the core of our criminal justice system.	/r/MensRights	20/05/13 11:57 PM
3	How Should a Man Handle a “Silencing Tool?” Just keep in mind that ad hominem and other ethos-centric positional attacks are nothing more than the last resort of someone who can't convince another way. When logic fails, some try other means to silence the other side and claim victory. But this is never really a substitute for logic. Even if it works, shutting down an opponent never makes one's arguments valid or sound.	/r/MensRights	19/05/13 10:45 PM
3	Article trying to blame men for women's choices to postpone having kids. Why can't they take responsibility for their own decisions? I'm not quite so cynical as that. I think the science is a bit trickier, but we're getting close.	/r/MensRights	19/05/13 10:37 PM
11	Article trying to blame men for women's choices to postpone having kids. Why can't they take responsibility for their own decisions? Can we really expect young men to be okay with broaching the subject of reproduction early on? Via contraception, women have practical dominion over whether kids are coming. Until there's a male pill, there will be a gender imbalance in fertility control. For a young man, having a date bring up kids is scary. It's so easy for a woman to stop taking contraception or to sabotage a condom. Then you're an irresponsible "deadbeat" if you don't stay with her, or, at her option, support her once she le…	/r/MensRights	19/05/13 06:05 PM
