3	10 teachers caught molesting their students. None of these teachers were men. Teacher #3 claims she was the victim, not her student. I read the first couple and thought people were being hilariously tongue-in-cheek, like an X-rated version of The Onion: "Now that homosexual marriage has become de rigueur the next push will be to legalize relationships between adults and children, then comes between humans and fido and we'll eventually get to sex with office equipment." "been saying that for years! i heard that first on Christian radio." However, if you scroll down to the bottom, there's a wonderful reply to the first comment:…	/r/MensRights	03/05/13 12:39 AM
2	"Men should be offended" (x-post from r/feminisms) I whole-heartedly agree. I can't find it now, but the article below might have some pointers. I think I misrepresented the conclusion statistically; the conclusion was actually "rape victims, by number, are more likely to have been dressed conservatively than provocatively". Since people dress conservatively far more often on a day-to-day basis and then only very rarely dress provocatively, that's probably to be expected. Of course, they didn't run an experiment where they could establish whether or not dressing provoca…	/r/MensRights	10/09/12 01:26 AM
2	"Men should be offended" (x-post from r/feminisms) I whole-heartedly agree. Thank you - people seem to be talking as if men are generally not rapists until a scantily-clad woman comes along and then BAM! we'll probably rape them, and hey who can blame us? It's bizarre. Rapists and men are just two different categories. You may as well talk about 'women' and 'burglars'. "As a woman, you should be offended when people don't invest in top-of-the-range home alarm systems."	/r/MensRights	06/09/12 07:40 AM
10	"Men should be offended" (x-post from r/feminisms) I whole-heartedly agree. The factors that turn a normal person into a rapist are probably related to trauma, personality disorder, mental health problems etc. A girl wearing a short skirt doesn't make a man into a rapist. I've passed hundreds, maybe thousands, of scantily-clad girls in dark alleys while I was staggering home drunk from the pub/club. I haven't raped a single one of them, nor would any non-rapist. Also, rapists' victims are not typically scantily-clad. Your chances of being raped are actually higher in co…	/r/MensRights	06/09/12 07:35 AM

2	Germany debates plan to pay stay-at-home moms Incorrect. It's available to fathers equally. Germany, incidentally, is the country where you get a 'parental leave' that can be used by either parent equally. It's VERY important to remember that men's rights issues are completely specific to the country & culture (same as women's rights). A lot of the more fucked up stories you hear on MensRights are not just USA-specific but even state-specific. The interesting story here is about the media deliberately misrepresenting the facts... and people…	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 05:02 AM

1	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" Are you a gay parent then? Interesting. I guess "parent" overrides "gay" then? Either that or your friends are cool, not all people are judgmental jerks and we are just railing against a vocal minority. Nah sod it - FUCK THE MATRIARCHY!	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 04:47 AM
6	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" It actually reminds me of a Jimmy Carr joke or something. Next time someone suspects you of being a deviant just tell them: "Don't worry, your kids are safe with me. Besides, I just don't find them attractive."	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 04:40 AM
6	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" In a pinch, being gay will do. At least it shows that you don't have an attraction for adult females and therefore obviously children as well.	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 03:58 AM
1	An Experiment: This sub rightly, and for obvious reason, usually only posts stories about the way society makes being a man difficult and shitty. That can get you down after a time. So instead, tell me what you like about masculinity and being a man. And yet we're always lectured through the media and in school that violence is never acceptable and never solves anything. It's like playground boisterousness is exactly identical to a vicious and traumatic assault. That's one of my pet peeves in life - people who have no understanding of context when it comes to teenagers being teenagers.	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 03:55 AM

3	SomethingAwful Anti-MensRights IRC Channel I've backtraced your IP address through all 7 proxies and now I can reveal, in front of everyone, that your IP address originates in... the US! But that's not all, ladies and gentlemen, I've hacked your monitor and found your place of work: you work in IT support! From one hacker to another, a bit of advice: never leave your Facebook logged in when you're round a mate's house. Word is it, they can actually hack in and change your status.	/r/MensRights	11/03/12 09:44 PM
3	Women Need Pregnancy for Life as an Adult Holy shit. You think this article's bad, look at the comments section! Seriously, it's this misogynistic bullshit that makes r/MensRights look like an anti-women cesspit rather than being about social egalitarianism and equality in the eyes of the law. I'm finding it more and more difficult to hunt out the thought-provoking articles in this subreddit.	/r/MensRights	16/02/12 04:39 AM
2	The next red pill - male birth control everytime you have your viagra and birth control you'll feel like you're in the matrix	/r/MensRights	03/02/12 06:53 AM
1	The next red pill - male birth control Eek... if there are any feminists out there who oppose men having access to reliable, easy and safe contraception, then they're nutcases, pure and simple. Anyone who wants to get pregnant against one of the partner's wishes is simply a psycho, and that's the only motivation I could see for opposing the male pill. All I've ever heard is 'phew, now men could take the pill so I don't have to deal with the side-effects' (people tend to assume it's side-effect free, who knows if it will be).	/r/MensRights	03/02/12 06:51 AM
2	X-Post r/Australia: I am 35 and own my 3 bedroom house by myself. If I get a girlfriend, will she be able to take part of my assets if we breakup after living together for 2 years (de facto relationship)? Another IANAL post, but I was told by someone who's studying law that in the event of a breakup, your de facto partner would be able to take a proportion of the assets that have built up since the start of the relationship (which I think means when you started being de facto), but not from before. The safest assumption is that the division of assets will be 50/50, but only assets built up after you got together. If your de facto is contributing near-enough half of the mortgage payments then ther…	/r/MensRights	03/02/12 06:04 AM
1	So in this time of economic crisis, we all have to pay for women's free birth control? Is that gender discrimination? I always have the same feeling of deflation whenever I comment on a troll post like this: "ha, what an idiot, he needs to be set straight" think of a reasonable response to write pause facepalm, I think I've just been trolled.	/r/MensRights	11/11/11 03:09 AM
1	So in this time of economic crisis, we all have to pay for women's free birth control? Is that gender discrimination? It's not "women's free birth control", it's "couples' free birth control". It just so happens that we've only invented it for women so far. As far as I know, we don't have an epidemic of lesbian pregnancies, so birth control is something that applies to men and women equally. I guess if homosexuals wanted to be really pedantic, they could say that they object to funding birth control to heterosexual couples, but they don't, because birth control is of benefit to the whole of society (apart from …	/r/MensRights	11/11/11 03:07 AM
