3	You are not a princess! 25 points for women and men to consider It's the highly attractive ones that are most likely to behave this way simply because they can. Guys put up with it because they want to bang hot chicks. The hot chicks will always have more males practically falling all over themselves to go out with them. There's little reason to be considerate or to compromise when you can always chuck your current BF for someone more willing to do what you want. It's supply and demand, basically. There's a limited supply of hot chicks and a lot of demand on…	/r/MensRights	06/01/10 05:48 PM
1	Dad loses job. After a year of unemployment and finding a lower paying job, he gets a modification hearing. Judge raises his child support, leaving him $58 per month, and telling him to "figure it out". Rule for life: If you're going to get pregnant, get a guy with money to get you pregnant. The poor ones can barely afford diapers.	/r/MensRights	03/12/09 07:36 PM
4	Dad loses job. After a year of unemployment and finding a lower paying job, he gets a modification hearing. Judge raises his child support, leaving him $58 per month, and telling him to "figure it out". Americans are told that this is the Greatest Country on Earth. The Best Place to Live. It helps that a lot of Americans never really travel anywhere as anything other than waddling tourists, so it keeps them from seeing how shafted they really are.	/r/MensRights	03/12/09 07:34 PM
3	Would you take a male contraceptive? Depends on the guy. I know plenty of women who are caring for children with zero, zip, nada help from the guys who contributed the sperm. Not every male who fathers a kid pays the child support demanded of him. Some women only get a few hundred a month, if that, from the fathers of their kids. What they get definitely doesn't cover half the costs of raising the kid. Guys should simply assume that any woman they're sleeping with is fertile enough to get pregnant just by being glanced at by a male…	/r/MensRights	05/11/09 07:18 AM
1	All parents - absent a finding of true harm - should have an absolute right to 50 percent custody of their children. (Slate, June 2004. I couldn't find a newer, mainstream press opinion) A good family friend of ours was denied custody of his child because, as the judge put it, "I can't in good faith separate a child from his mother." The kid's mother was psychotic. She hadn't held down a stable job for over five years. She was emotionally manipulative (he'd fallen for her during one of her "stable" phases.) She was an unfit parent...which is what the judge should have been looking at. The kid wound up hating his dad because his mother told him all kinds of horrible things about …	/r/MensRights	04/11/09 02:32 AM
1	Date-rape drugs are largely an urban myth used as an excuse by women who booze themselves into a stupor I was getting a refill at the university pharmacy and this girl gets hauled in by her friends freaking-the-fuck out. Apparently she'd had "a couple hits" off a joint and was hallucinating, wanted to puke, was twitching like crazy and screaming the whole time. Dunno what she took a few hits off of, but it wasn't pot. I highly suspect she was over reacting, but meh. They quieted her down after about five minutes of talking to her and called an ambulance just to cover their legal butts. Dunno what …	/r/MensRights	28/10/09 02:03 AM
3	I'v come to the conclusion that most women are not good people Not saying you should "lower" your standards (as in, no need to give up dating women who can see their whole body in an average floor-length mirror,) but if you're attracted to a type of woman that winds up to be batshit insane, time and time again, you might want to reassess your attraction. What, exactly, is drawing you to these batshit insane women? There are plenty of women that are drawn to douchebags and who whine about how men are losers and mean and stinky-poo heads. They keep dating the…	/r/MensRights	23/10/09 03:38 AM

15	As a freelance writer, I could be overtly sexist to a much greater degree for women’s mags than for lads’. The sexism was not only casual and consistent but has to be present. I have a problem with the "quota system" as a way to balance out inequality. There are many reasons why women aren't represented as widely as men in higher-status jobs, many of which aren't directly related to gender alone. There's also the unspoken dirty little elephant in the room when it comes to gender issues in the workplace: Women are really shitty when it comes to keeping things professional with other women. Speaking only from my own experience, and this isn't meant as a generalization o…	/r/MensRights	29/09/09 02:41 AM
3	New poll shows men are more superficial than women : In reality men take relationship more seriously than women: Male respondents said they would see their girlfriend gaining weight as a sign that she didn't care about the relationship as much anymore. It's more than an issue of "you got fat…lose it or you lose me." Take the initiative and hit the gym yourself. Start eating right yourself. Offer to cook a healthy dinner for her so it'll be easier for her to eat good food. Make getting healthy something you do together for yourselves and for each other, rather than something she's just supposed to do on her own if she doesn't want to wind up on the street. Note: Women will put up with a fatter man because he has a good personality and is a nice…	/r/MensRights	24/07/09 09:05 PM
10	American family court is complete and utter bullshit that totally fucks up kids and dads. A family friend lost custody of his kid even though the mom was a psycho drug addict. She was "reforming" (total BS, she just wanted to rip him for child support) and so got the kid. He had a nice stable job, she didn't. He was clean and sober, she wasn't. But she had the uterus, so she got the kid. She proceeded to raise the kid to think that his father hated him and had abused her and was a horrible human being... thankfully the kid got to meet his dad and eventually learned what a cuntaloupe …	/r/MensRights	10/07/09 06:00 AM
7	When food depicts a female bodypart, it's demeaning to women. When food depicts a male bodypart, it's demeaning to women. Women don't seem to have any problem with the way men are portrayed... utterly useless, bumbling, stupid, fat, lazy obstacles to child-rearing (when they're not molesting the kids) and cleanliness. If women want to get offended at hamburger boobs, that's fine. If they're going to be really fair, however, they should get equally offended when men are portrayed as worthless louts. That's equality. ;D	/r/MensRights	08/07/09 06:02 PM
0	Women set the rules of dating: -if he hopes to sweep her off her feet, her suitor must consistently make thoughtful, romantic gestures and pull off a string of five flawless dates. What 'rules' do men have? So would that make all men Johns?	/r/MensRights	04/07/09 06:45 AM
-1	Women set the rules of dating: -if he hopes to sweep her off her feet, her suitor must consistently make thoughtful, romantic gestures and pull off a string of five flawless dates. What 'rules' do men have? Sounds like you want a prostitute, not a girlfriend. They're a lot cheaper in the long-run and a lot less picky.	/r/MensRights	04/07/09 05:55 AM
2	Women set the rules of dating: -if he hopes to sweep her off her feet, her suitor must consistently make thoughtful, romantic gestures and pull off a string of five flawless dates.

4	Study suggests Americans spend less on dads versus moms. Moms are better at milking guilt, I think, than dads are. At least that's my own experience. YMMV. "...you don't have to get anything for me... it's OK... I was only in labor for a week with you and had you by c-section two months early, but it's OK... you don't have to get me anything..." (Yeah, she was in labor for an entire week, we both almost died.) "...what would you like, mom?" "...oh it's OK, I don't need anything..." (...shit shit shit...) With dad, it was easy. Me: "I won't get you a t…	/r/MensRights	22/06/09 05:45 AM
1	There's a total bias when it comes to children's books, Fathers are rarely mentioned it's always the cub and her mother. It's not fair that i have to change "mother" to "father" when i read books to my daughter (i try to keep a 50/50 ratio) Why not write your own stories? You could have a whole series about a seahorse father, for example, or a penguin dad.	/r/MensRights	16/06/09 12:46 AM
7	Teenager with 47 IQ sentenced to 100 years in prison for fondling 6-year-old neighbor. [Taken from /WTF/] A friend of mine worked around the severely developmentally disabled. There were certain males that were ONLY allowed to be assisted by male attendants. They were incapable of understanding that it's not OK to reach out and grab breasts or crotches of passing females. They were reprimanded, of course, but they simply failed to understand what "wrong" meant in that context. If, for some reason, the only attendant around for a span of time was female, the males would have their hands secured so th…	/r/MensRights	12/06/09 02:24 AM
33	Rape, but since the victim is male, it's funny. The rather insulting assumption that all men are oversexed, and thus grateful to get any sex at all at any time, no matter who from, no matter when, always bugged me. I had a friend who was raped at a party by a girl who got him drunk. The traumatic thing for him (other than the obvious) was that he still got an erection, even though he very much did not want to have sex with the girl. He was just conscious enough to be aware, but not enough to chuck her off of him. He never came out about it be…	/r/MensRights	28/05/09 04:28 PM
1	A rather depressing Rolling Stone article about a man whose life has been defined by his abnormally large penis, including being molested by an 18-year-old woman when he was ten due to a friend's bragging about the impressive size of said man's reproductive organ. The downside are the women who go, "No fucking way are you getting that tree trunk near me! I'll need an episiotomy to get that thing in!"	/r/MensRights	05/05/09 05:46 AM

0	"The world would be better if it was ran by women". Yeah, right. My nightmare would be to work in an office full of just women. There's no "blessed sisterhood." It's mostly backstabbing, gossip, and catty infighting. You can't trust anyone and half the time the people you think are your friends are just waiting for the right time to throw you under the bus. You can't get your work done for all the gossiping and bullshit that goes on, and if you stay out of it, you wind up with everyone turning on you. It's like an immune response. Oh, and women who spend a lo…	/r/MensRights	20/04/09 09:18 PM
3	Is this woman capable of writing an essay on ANY subject without referring to her gender? Can you imagine the response if a male wrote like this? I suppose it'd be the same if a guy splattered references to football or bacon throughout any article he wrote about anything.	/r/MensRights	10/04/09 09:28 PM
6	Men's lives are cheap, so each and every man is required to risk his when a woman is in danger. If you're trained to handle dangerous situations and it's your job to do so? Yeah, then go in there and save the woman. If you're average Joe Blow with about as much training in combat as your average video game player? You're likely to add one more victim to the list of people harmed by the criminal. Though, you could be free to get in your car and run the guy over as he tried to get away...	/r/MensRights	06/04/09 10:47 PM

10	Many Women have been brainwashed by feminism's whacked contention that men "shouldn't" care about women's looks, that what's inside is all that matters. Women complain about men being picky as far as looks are concerned, but don't seem to see any problem with their own demands. If he's demanding you look like a playboy bunny, yeah, he's got problems. If he expects you to be able to see your feet without a mirror, however, he has every right to do so. And you should have every right to expect that he will also continue to see his feet without an aid. Fair is fair after all. Ask your average woman if she'd be willing to marry a guy who was 400lbs …	/r/MensRights	18/03/09 06:02 AM
17	Enough with the evil stepdad-as-rapist/Males are dangerous to kids stuff--Offer up your best stories involving awesome male rolemodels/fathers/stepdads/mentors :) The best thing my dad ever taught me was that everyone who does a good day's work deserves respect, no matter what that work is. There's no such thing as "less important" work in the grand scheme of things... without the cleaning crew, surgeons couldn't do their work. Without the garbage guys, no one could do much of anything. Without mechanics, no one would be able to get anywhere. Without road crews, we'd all be driving in potholes. He also stood by my mother through the worst of her terminal …	/r/MensRights	14/03/09 07:35 AM
9	Researchers prodding dozens of male penises with a fine-tipped tool have found that the five areas most receptive to fine-touch are routinely removed by circumcision. I wonder if the whole thing started out as a way to try to control the sexuality of males in more primitive societies? Especially if they were sexually prudish, cutting away the bits of a man's anatomy that would help him enjoy sex would seem an easy solution to a rather "annoying" social problem... Frankly, unless there's something wrong with it, there's no reason to cut it off. We've got soap and condoms and doctors now... there's no reason to go snipping bits off of anyone in the name of "cle…	/r/MensRights	11/03/09 05:42 AM
1	"It occurred to me that if 86 percent of adolescent suicides were girls, there would be a national commission to find out why." The American Association of Suicidology has an expert on female suicide but not on male suicide because funders aren't interested in studying boys and men. Girls tend to fail at trying to commit suicide, mainly because they do things like slitting their wrists or taking pills. They can be discovered by their parents, or by someone else, before they either bleed to death, or die of the over-dose (if they don't vomit up the pills first.) It's more of a plea for help than an actual attempt to really kill themselves. Boys are more likely to try killing themselves in violent ways, usually with guns, or by driving their cars into trees and such. They are…	/r/MensRights	10/03/09 05:54 AM
6	Advertisers know what their audience wants. Showing women wielding power—sexual and otherwise—over men has become a new advertising paradigm. I always found the portrayal of people in advertisements to be insulting. If it's for product A that replaces previous product B (say, a "Snuggie" replacing a blanket) people are shown struggling with product B in such a way that you wonder how it ever made it through the safety tests. Sanity forbid product B be something like a food slicer. If it's real food, there are always men eating it. If it's diet food, it's always women eating it. Sorry, but a Lean Pocket isn't a pizza. It's a freaking L…	/r/MensRights	03/03/09 09:53 PM

3	Kids end up viewing every male stranger "as a potential evildoer," he says, and as a byproduct, "there's an overconfidence in female virtues." Assuming that most males you see day-to-day will be of the "I'd gladly bash a pedophile's head into the pavement" variety of person, I don't think kids should be raised to see males as dangerous. More likely, they'll be of the "I'm kinda busy, buzz off" variety.	/r/MensRights	25/02/09 09:23 AM

-1	Before 1997, Thailand recognized only women and children as possilbe human trafficking / slavery victims. Another example of why the "men hurt too" arguments are necessary. Women are often trafficked for sexual purposes... the same with children. Males are often trafficked purely as hard labor. People have more sympathy for sex victims than they do "merely" hard labor victims. Suffering is suffering. Slavery is simply wrong... being treated like little more than a mule that can talk is just as dehumanizing as being treated as a sexual slave.	/r/MensRights	16/02/09 01:31 AM

(chorus of squealing) "OMG! NO way!!" "Yes! And she so totally knew that Janice was going to wear it!" "Right after Janice had the twins too! That bitch!" "Oh I know girl..." I think the assumption women have is that guys get the world, women may as well get a few nice bathrooms. FWIW, I'm all for equality.
