It's okay that you think it's absurd for me to ask you to prove something that seems reasonable to you, but I please understand that it simply doesn't seem like common sense to me. Maybe that's the result of "times changing" for the worse. Or maybe not. The idea that "the world is built" on blood ties doesn't make sense to me either. Children raised from infancy by non-bi… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 01:12 PM |
| 2 | The feminists deadliest enemy !Sorry, it didn't "click". I will definitely ask my parents about it, and my sister - who has kids - because now you've got me curious. And I agree with you 100% that intact families are better than broken families including single parent families. Obviously. But, yeah, I don't think anyone ever proved that adoption is bad for kids. Especially when you consider the sort of kids that are getting adopted. I've got another anecdote - which I know you hate - but bear with me. I have a friend who was … | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 12:35 PM |
| 2 | The feminists deadliest enemy !You parsed that statement wrong. It says nothing about traditional families being unnecessary. So, nope, no contradiction. :) It points out that there are certain some adoptive families have over some traditional families. The main things it points out is that adoptive parents often go out of their way to "make up" for the fact that they're not biologically related. But that doesn't contradict the fact that plenty of natural parents go above and beyond too! No, I do understand the difference bet… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 12:04 PM |
| 2 | The feminists deadliest enemy !But, again, although you keep saying that there's this super special bond that people can only have with their biological children, and that that's so obvious to you, but it really isn't obvious to me. I'd like you to show me that it exists somehow. I realize that since it's not a physical thing, that's difficult to do. But you have not successfully convinced me that it exists at all. Like the "patriarchy", merely asserting over and over again that it's real and common sensical doesn't make it s… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 11:24 AM |
| 2 | The feminists deadliest enemy !The study I linked to before says nothing about "traditional families" or men being unnecessary... It merely points out that people such as yourself often baselessly assume that "traditional families" are automatically better than "nontraditional families" irrespective of the thousands of variables that make every family unique. Also, I'll have to disagree with you that gender is bullshit. There are plenty of actual people in this world who have chromosomes of one sex and brain structures analog… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 11:09 AM |
| 2 | The feminists deadliest enemy !I find the Men's Rights Movement appealing because it criticizes the length to which feminists go to assert that women are oppressed by men. To me it makes sense to conclude that people of either gender believing that gender roles as they have developed are perfect and therefore never to be deviated from have oppressed both men and women in different ways, rather than to conclude there's no such thing as gender-based oppression whatsoever. At any rate, I think it is dangerous to dismiss people a… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 10:27 AM |
| 2 | The feminists deadliest enemy !At least I'm offering anecdotes that demonstrate some level of thinking about the matter. You just keep saying over and over again that, "yeah, some biological parents are bad, but biological parents are better than adoptive parents"... How does that make sense? I am 100% sure that if I made the decision to adopt a child I would love him or her unconditionally. I don't think of myself as a saint at all. I don't personally think adoptive parents are better than biological parents in general. I th… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 10:25 AM |
| 2 | The feminists deadliest enemy !I'm sorry, it doesn't make irrefutable sense to me. I have personally seen too many people with awful relationships with their biological parents for me to think there's something super duper special about that biological bond. I can imagine having my own babies and loving them unconditionally and I can imagine making the decision to adopt babies and loving them unconditionally. I can't fathom having children and treating them like dirt but that happens all the time. Adoption is not about rippin… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 10:02 AM |
| 2 | The feminists deadliest enemy !Should I assume this to mean you looked up the authors and concluded that their fields of study rendered them wholly unable to produce logical academic work instead of taking the time to read said work and judge it based on its evidence? I absolutely agree with you that in a perfect world, biological parents would be unequivocally the perfect parents for every child that is conceived, but that is not the world we live in. And unless you support the government preventing couples from procreating … | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 09:44 AM |
| 3 | The feminists deadliest enemy !I would love for you to actually show me a statistic that adoptive parents are "on average" worse than biological ones. You insist they exist, so it mustn't be too hard to find one from a reputable source. On the other hand, here is a study done in a reputable sociological journal which claims the exact opposite. Though, I don't expect you'll trust it, considering how wet water is. http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/about/cap/assignments/art-07/packet5supplement.pdf Cheers! :) | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 09:12 AM |
| 1 | The feminists deadliest enemy !That's definitely true! Loving biological parents are obviously better than strangers who don't care. But adults who used to be complete strangers but raised a child from a young age and love it are probably better for that child than neglectful, abusive people who happen to be the child's biological parents, wouldn't you say? Maybe where you're from everyone's biological parents are awesome parents, but I know plenty of people whose biological parents were pretty awful. So to me "biological par… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 09:03 AM |
| 2 | The feminists deadliest enemy !Please point me to a study that says that biological parents are better than adoptive parents. Thanks! :) | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 08:38 AM |
| 1 | Feminists continue to promote male genital mutilation.Unrelated to circumcision, but your argument doesn't stack up against the coccyx and the appendix, and plenty of other totally useless vestigial body parts we humans are left with. | /r/MensRights | 09/05/13 07:15 AM |
| 1 | would you be for or against a forced male contraceptive?Depending on where you live, vaccinations are sometimes mandatory, IIRC. | /r/MensRights | 09/05/13 06:55 AM |
| 1 | Technically shouldn't Men's Rights advocates just be Feminists?From what I understand, men's rights is an attempt to tackle gender equality with regard to how men are treated and equity feminism is an attempt to tackle gender equality with regard to how women are treated. Two paths up the same mountain. | /r/MensRights | 06/05/13 03:35 AM |
| 1 | Jewish Men Discuss Circumcision. What do they think?Yes, the Amish case definitely seems better! I certainly feel lucky, having been raised in a household where adherence to the religion was not considered mandatory. | /r/MensRights | 04/05/13 05:05 AM |
| 1 | Jewish Men Discuss Circumcision. What do they think?That sounds good in theory, but in practice I don't think it's quite that simple. I have a good friend whose family are Jehovah's Witnesses, and that works the same sort of way -- you can only commit to the faith as an adult. But even children are very much pressured by their parents and by their church, and they go through life assuming that they will pledge their faith rather than being brought up to think of it as one of many options for them. | /r/MensRights | 04/05/13 05:00 AM |
| 3 | Jewish Men Discuss Circumcision. What do they think?Actually, a huge percentage of modern Jews already consider themselves atheists or agnostics, and involve themselves with Jewish religious practice purely for cultural reasons. | /r/MensRights | 04/05/13 04:28 AM |
| 1 | Jewish Men Discuss Circumcision. What do they think?I'm Jewish, and I was circumcised as a baby. I'm actually completely happy with my circumcision status, but I definitely think the Jewish community would be better off, morally, if it moved toward optional adult circumcision instead of mandatory infant circumcision. | /r/MensRights | 04/05/13 04:26 AM |
| 2 | Needing AMA from someone raising uncircumcised son.I want to know if it's as big of an issue as circumcised people make it out to be. Just so you know, some circumcised people do not make it out to be a big issue. Plenty of circumcised men are happy about their circumcision status, and plenty of uncircumcised men are not happy about their circumcision status. The reverse is obviously true as well. Though I am personally happy I was circumcised, I still think that the simplest and most morally sound solution is not to circumcise your son as an in… | /r/MensRights | 28/04/13 04:23 AM |
| 1 | Out of anyone on Reddit, I thought this sub would like what I found tacked to the bulletin board in my apartment buildingLike I said, had you just originally replied with something along the lines of, "I know, I'm just speaking purely about my perceptions of my circumcision status" there wouldn't have been any further discourse. Except I did, silly! :) All I'm saying is that I'm perfectly happy with the way my penis is, as is. Reading a thread like this makes it seem like every cut guy hates his own penis. Just offering my own perspective. ... that was the bulk of my first response to your first comment. I also in… | /r/MensRights | 16/04/13 09:57 PM |
| 1 | Out of anyone on Reddit, I thought this sub would like what I found tacked to the bulletin board in my apartment buildingI agree that my personal feelings are irrelevant to any objective facts about male circumcision This is all I've been talking about this entire time. Everything else, has been 100% brought to the table by yourself. I honestly do not understand you. My original post never said anything against the statement which we both agree on, so I don't understand why you had to say it in the first place. You posted it as if it was an argument against what I said, which it isn't. I brought up that point, and… | /r/MensRights | 16/04/13 08:40 PM |
| 1 | Out of anyone on Reddit, I thought this sub would like what I found tacked to the bulletin board in my apartment buildingI still am not entirely sure why you're trying to argue with me here. My original post was simply a comment that a lot of people around here appear to be deeply upset by the fact that they're circumcised, and I was just wondering if I was alone in feeling the opposite. I told you that in this context, in the face of the objective information the original post presents, your perspective is irrelevant. Do you see where we our lines of communication are falling? The idea that my feelings about my c… | /r/MensRights | 16/04/13 08:05 PM |
| 1 | Out of anyone on Reddit, I thought this sub would like what I found tacked to the bulletin board in my apartment buildingOkay, okay. It seems like we're trying to talk about different things. I was reacting to the general tone of the conversation in the thread, and not trying to make any statements about anyone else's penis but my own. Just offering my own perspective on how it's not automatically some kind of psychological trauma or physical limitation to be circumcised. I'm not trying to refute other people who experience it that way, just trying to say that I don't. That said, I completely resent you comparing … | /r/MensRights | 16/04/13 05:22 AM |
| 1 | Out of anyone on Reddit, I thought this sub would like what I found tacked to the bulletin board in my apartment buildingHm, please reread my post. I'm not saying, "and therefore all babies should be circumcised.." All I'm saying is that I'm perfectly happy with the way my penis is, as is. Reading a thread like this makes it seem like every cut guy hates his own penis. Just offering my own perspective. Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable. | /r/MensRights | 16/04/13 01:38 AM |

| 2 | A List of Men’s Rights Issues That Feminism Is Already Working OnI know you are probably inundated with some negative comments in your inbox right now, but if you've got time, I'd love to know what you mean by "working on destroying the patriarchy". Can you describe a little bit about the mechanisms by which feminists are doing this? And can you describe how MRA people are working against that goal, if you think they are?
