1	Dutch social democratic party PvdA wants to completely reform development aid. "Support to poor countries should primarily be focused on women." (Link in Dutch translation in comments) Kristof has been pushing this idea for years as being the most effective way to improve situations. I'm not clear on what studies he's basing it on but he talks extensively about how it's grounded in research findings. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/23/magazine/23Women-t.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0	/r/MensRights	18/12/12 12:17 AM
1	I'm a young female, and my current regard on men is that they are heartless, eager to rape etc. Brainwashed by feminism? I'm hoping to soon buy The Essential Difference (Baron Cohen), A Natural History of Rape: Biological Bases of Sexual Coercion (Thornhill, Palmer), and Who's Afraid of Charles Darwin? Debating Feminism and Evolutionary Theory (Vandermassen). So you pretty much read books that play into every pre and mis-conception you have about sex differences in humans? You do know that the aforementioned authors are on the wrong, nativistic side of evolutionary biology, right? They have been left in the 1980s …	/r/MensRights	14/12/12 06:52 PM

0	Swedish Toys R Us Catalog Tries to Blur Gender Roles Gender and sex in this context mean the same thing. look... But it's not dependent on their sex, it's dependent on their gender. It "sounds" "the same" to you because you don't know what gender means.	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 03:42 PM

0	Swedish Toys R Us Catalog Tries to Blur Gender Roles They compared a truck with a doll. You're telling me that you believe boys are disinterested in people? They showed equivalent interest across trucks and humans, which implies they lack any predisposition towards any toy. That's evidence against a sex-based account of toy preference.	/r/MensRights	02/12/12 10:35 PM
1	Swedish Toys R Us Catalog Tries to Blur Gender Roles because baby's are taught that barbies are for girls before they can walk I did not say that, but we're looking at the difference between a truck and a doll. Perhaps it's not that toys are sex-typed but that the human form is sex-typed, with girls preferring human-like objects and boys showing no preference (that's what was found). That has nothing to do with toys. Boys looked at the doll and truck in equal amounts in the 9-month study, which actually disproves your claim. Citation?	/r/MensRights	01/12/12 08:34 PM

1	What stats/info can I know to back me up if I want to mention that women rape too? Why? You realize that the 12-month incidence completely obfuscates the relationship between age (a vulnerability factor) and rape victimization? Further, your statistical table does not show how many of those male rapes were perpetrated by men. From what we know about prison rape the vast majority of male rape is committed by other men. Having a lifetime incidence would help us in seeing that.	/r/MensRights	28/10/12 12:31 PM
1	What stats/info can I know to back me up if I want to mention that women rape too? None of those quotes differs from my account. Something can have no trace in history, have no record of being used against POWs, etc, and still occur infrequently.

1	What stats/info can I know to back me up if I want to mention that women rape too? Why did you circle the 12-month statistics? The lifetime incidence for rape for women is 4 times that of men, which is of more interest.	/r/MensRights	28/10/12 03:09 AM
0	What stats/info can I know to back me up if I want to mention that women rape too? If rape never happened then there would be no reason to have laws against electing leaders who have committed it. That isn't necessarily true. The claim is that rape was nearly non-existent - that is: very, very uncommon. If they had a strict custom against it, and it was very uncommon, then it makes sense for this to be a requirement in politics. I think you need to brush up on your logic - this is all aside from the so-called 'facts'.	/r/MensRights	28/10/12 03:04 AM

1	Adding up all rapes since 1960 So if .15% of women are sexually victimized a year, and 1 in 4 women sexual assaulted in their lifetime, that means that women live on average 166 years.

Someone who spends a good deal of their free time trying to disprove rape, take away funding for women's issues, etc, are a good source for interpreting epidemiological studies? Give me a break.

It'd be a few steps away from anarchy.

0	What does it mean to be a man? Gender is reality, to those who interact with gendered people and to those who live gendered existences. Having a psychological gender means having a biological gender, since one's psychology and identity is directly linked to the brain and hormones. To deny that biology influences gender is to deny the gender constructs of male and female altogether. When you say reality: do you mean your assumptions and your ignorance? Or do you mean reality?	/r/MensRights	19/06/12 09:29 PM
-2	What does it mean to be a man? Your asking to be addressed as Lord and Master is denigrating to Neurotikitty and anyone who interacts with you, since your identity implies the re-identification of others (they are now your "slaves" since the common understanding of the name of your identity is "master") Asking to be called a "them" or "him" or "she" does not denigrate anyone nor does it re-identify anyone's personal identity. That's a false equivocation and it's pretty clear that it is the only argument you have on you. Anyth…	/r/MensRights	19/06/12 09:00 PM
2	Women, significantly more than men, abuse and neglect their children, often leading to death. Please join the campaign to help them see the error of their ways, and save the children. Are those stats in proportion to the number of single mothers v single fathers? You also need to add 20% to each of those figures since you need to include cases where both parents were abusive. Furthermore, if one parent is abusive that means the other is neglectful, so this doesn't remove fathers from culpability, nor mothers. I don't think you should start creating ad campaigns before you understand the basic statistics behind the problem.	/r/MensRights	17/06/12 02:28 PM
2	A study of the epidemiology of domestic violence. What flaws if any are in this study? A more scientific approach to this would be to ask: "How does this article help us understand domestic violence better and provide us the means to prevent it, and what can we learn from it? Additionally, are there any limitations to the theory/evidence that should be taken into account when inferring from this article?" Instead, we've opened our perspective up by literally closing our eyes, holding each other's hands, and dunking our heads into the sand together.

1	Really? (x-post from r/funny) "About 1 in 4 women (24.3%) and 1 in 7 men (13.8%) have experienced severe physical violence by an intimate". The citation you just mentioned may include stalking as well, so it isn't relevant here.	/r/MensRights	14/06/12 03:37 AM
1	Really? (x-post from r/funny) If I recall correctly, the 1 in 4 statistic came from a phone survey of women who called a Women's Refuge. Wrong. A random U.S. survey found 1 in 4 and 1 in 7 men were found to be victims of abuse. Unsure about Britain, but I can't see why the rate would be substantially lower. http://www.cdc.gov/ViolencePrevention/pdf/NISVS_Report2010-a.pdf Cue paranoid/denialist outcry of feminist research bias.	/r/MensRights	14/06/12 12:48 AM
9	Adding up all rapes since 1960 So either the surveys from the Bureau of Justice are wrong, or the surveys yielding lifetime rates are wrong. It's also possible that since they're surveys, they're both very flawed. What is that conclusion based on? Your writing is frankly disorganized and it's not clear where you're getting your numbers. You're also mixing up incompatible data and treating it as comparable. It's abundantly clear that you're in over your head, but you wage forth on your lone mission to disprove rape. Why?

2	Sexual Harassment or Unwanted Sexual Attention? Rather than have a set of principles of respect and fair treatment that I stick to I just act however society tells me I should be acting and then fall back on gender dynamics as my defense when I'm criticized.

0	Adding up all rapes since 1960 But the numbers you derived were derived statistically. Isn't it rather a question of plausibility and not of statistical evidence? You find it implausible that so many women are raped but that belief is not related to how valid the statistics are. If you take a look at certain TwoX threads you would see that rape and sexual assault is an incredibly commonplace experience for many women there, with many women surviving multiple assaults through their teens and 20s.

Do you all understand how paranoid and out-of-touch you sound when you dismiss state and national crime statistics with the claim that "surveys are not reliable" and "everything is considered rape nowadays." The latter statement is literally a rape myth. None of what you're trying to argue is grounded in reality, and few of you even understand the basic math and statistics that you're discussing.

No, but I like Prudie's advice about not leaving the children alone with him. I never said I agreed with the mother 100%, I said that her vigilance was realistic per the situation.

When I worked with abused children I left the door open, I did not go in the bathroom with them without someone else present outside, and we responded to every accusation as if it were true until shown otherwise.
