In its small, private space, it can defy the will of authority and the might of wealth. It is without doubt the single most effective means of passing lore, culture, manners and traditions down through the generations. Its loyalties are stronger than those of the state, more powerful even than patriotism.

| 1 | The problem with encouraging men to be more open with their emotions.More fundamentally, men are genetically predisposed to bottle up our emotions. Internalizing your reaction to external stress or trauma is tied to the y chromosome. Maybe instead of making an effort to improve social tolerance of men expressing their emotions, we should try to move away from the stigma that is so often attached these days to the ways in which men generally prefer to emote, which often involves physical activity, alone time, therapy through work or just going fishing.

| 2 | This is fucking bullshit.The real irony is that it's much ado about absolutely nothing, because the bill is unconstitutional. It will be struck down by the first court it appears in front of, next week probably, and it won't be actionable as legislation until it's approved by SCOTUS, which it won't be. It's never actually going to happen.

| 3 | Til that the idea of reducing men to "ten percent of the population", popularized by gender studies founder Sally Miller Gearhart, actually arose during first wave feminismThe ultimate irony of this notion is that if they ever managed it, it would result in a paradigm shift in social power because of the redistribution of value in the sexual marketplace. Social phenomena like feminism exist largely because of our society's instinctual gynocentrism. That gynocentrism is a result of the high value that women have in the sexual marketplace, and the fact that men invariably have to compete for women's approval and affection in order to gain access to reproductive oppo… | /r/MensRights | 04/09/18 12:48 AM |

| 4 | How can people's views on circumcision on Reddit be so bigoted?There's a confluence of motivations that contribute to some people's really visceral reactions to intactivism. For a lot of men and women who have circumcised sons, they'll resort to any level of hysterical self-justification before admitting to themselves that they have caused unnecessary harm to their own child. For men who are circumcised, there's a similar level of denial. They just don't want to believe that they've been mutilated by their own parents. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/18 04:40 PM |

They're not targeting guys with their advertising. As long as women make up the large majority of consumers and spend the most money on products, ads will always be tailored mainly for them. Even non-feminist women occasionally enjoy the supposedly light-hearted catharsis that comes with being made to feel superior to men, even in a context as petty as a commercial for dish soap. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/18 04:20 AM |

| 3 | Jordan Peterson understands male disposability . . . but he's fine with it.Individuals are able to exert some control over their biological predispositions, but groups are not. The bigger the group, the stronger the group's tendency to err on the side of the biological norm. A person can overcome the evolutionary roots of their behavioir to a certain extent, but in the case of sexual politics, society cannot and will never do the same.

| 2 | Jordan Peterson understands male disposability . . . but he's fine with it.I said perceived social groups. Contrary to what reactionaries in this thread seem to believe, I am not advocating for racism, and I'm not advocating for male disposability either. I take the world as it is, and I settle for trying to change the things I think can be changed. Male disposability works differently from other forms of prejudice because it is self-enforced. Women prioritize women's wants and needs, and men also prioritize women's wants and needs. They do this on an instinctive, unco… | /r/MensRights | 20/05/18 02:27 PM |

| 1 | Jordan Peterson understands male disposability . . . but he's fine with it.Racialism and racism are not fundamental to how we run society. Once again, the gender dynamic is. Racism occurs because people under economic pressure are occasionally predisposed to prioritize their own in-group's concerns over those of the people they label as out-groups. This may be instinctual behaviour, but it's not fundamental to biology. That's why it's not only immoral but much easier to overcome on a societal level than the prioritization of women's needs.

We can complain about it and bemoan the unfairness of it, but it's not going anywhere. Peterson is concerned with focussing his efforts and his advocacy on things that he believes he can change. He ostensibly views the overwhelming predisposition on the part of both individuals and society to view males as disposable as a phenomenon that is too prevalent and too fundamental to change, and he is right. The comparison to… | /r/MensRights | 19/05/18 08:11 PM |

I have my own issues with Peterson, but his focus is on helping men, especially young men, learn the skills and confidence they need to take responsibility for improving their own circumstances. Society will always place the burden on men to prove our own value and make ourselves less disposable by actively contributing as much as we can.

| 14 | Astounding statement by Jordan Peterson in his recent Tucker interview (something that people may have missed)It makes perfect sense that Peterson would hold this view. Firstly, it is easy to understand because the historical evidence supports his stance. The traditional social contract that existed in our societies prior to and even during the industrial revolution was one that pigeonholed both men and women into a series of specific gender roles, which while they were somewhat rigid, at least coincided with the roles that men and women respectively are biologically predisposed to play. This contract f… | /r/MensRights | 12/03/18 02:23 AM |
| 6 | Controversy after a Chinese middle school introduces a new course to teach 'delicate' male pupils how to act like a man. This comes just months after a textbook was released in Shanghai with the aim of increasing masculinity among boys.You're absolutely right. The issue is that people on both sides of this argument think that there is only one way to be masculine. Feminists only see behaviours that they think are toxic, and so denigrate masculinity as a monolith, while traditionalists and others who prefer to institutionalize gendered behaviour also treat it as a monolith, insisting that any man who does not conform to the modes of behaviour that they deem acceptable is not sufficiently masculine. Both of these things are equa… | /r/MensRights | 20/12/16 03:50 PM |

This comes just months after a textbook was released in Shanghai with the aim of increasing masculinity among boys.And they fall into the same totalitarian trap as the feminists, insisting on using the power of the state, the classroom and social pressure to attempt to control human nature. Gendered behaviour can't be taught and doesn't need to be. You can't teach boys and men not to be masculine , and you can't teach them how to be masculine. All you will do if you try to bully them out of behaving in the way that comes naturally to them is alienate them from themselves and leave them feeling confused, alon… | /r/MensRights | 20/12/16 01:35 PM |

| 1 | Questions for r/Mensright: Do you think we have reached the tipping point of Western men (especially working class white men)'s frustration of society? And where do you think it will go from here?The problems of male disposability and the lack of societal empathy for men compared to women are biological problems, not social ones. These things are programmed into our DNA. The best we can hope for as men's rights advocates is the restoration of at least some level of legal equality. The underlying psychological and biological motivations for feminism are not going anywhere. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/16 08:38 PM |

Why is this?I don't think there are a disproportionately high number of Canadians involved in the backlash against feminism and the growing anti-SJW skeptic movement. It may be that more Canadian commentators are focused specifically on advocating for men's issues rather than on a broader scope of criticism of New Left ideas, but that's as far as the Canadian exception goes.

The term was coined by white supremacists, but a lot of the people who are using that term to describe themselves now, including people like Milo Yiannopoulos, have expressly disavowed those views.

Certainly SJWs, establishment leftists and Clinton supporters have taken the most extreme wing of the alt-right, which does contain neo-Nazis, white nationalists and white supremacists, and applied that definition to the entire group.

It enables and encourages white-knighting men on university campuses and elsewhere who have been convinced they should be ashamed of their masculinity to wrangle out of it by claiming not to be men.

Tell her you don't want to pay for a degree that has no practical purpose once she leaves school, and especially not for one that teaches her that kind of intolerance.

| 5 | Was military service always tied to male suffrage?Part of the reason majorities of women in Britain, the US and other countries opposed female suffrage during most of the time the issue was being discussed (late 19th, early 20th centuries) was precisely because they didn't want the responsibilities that were associated with male suffrage, and were afraid of losing their privileged status in those societies if they were granted equal rights with men. | /r/MensRights | 19/07/16 09:10 PM |

It seems to me that his reaction to porn is a sort of gut-motivated revulsion. It disgusts him, and he's free to be disgusted if he wants, but he hasn't really explored the logical implications of what he said when he was asked about the Hustler interview: that porn is degrading to women and that it harms them. I could be wrong about that. I'll be the first to adm… | /r/MensRights | 12/06/16 04:42 PM |

The debt crisis was caused by irresponsible Greek politicians and even more irresponsible European bureaucrats who want to make working people pay for the actions of Greece's irresponsible politicians. | /r/MensRights | 22/06/15 03:16 PM |
| 3 | Question for gay men of /r/MensRightsI've gotten a lot of flack myself because I don't present or act the way gay men are socially expected to. Especially when I was in high school and university. It's come from women and from other, more effeminate gay guys. It's certainly a small number of people who react that way, but gay guys who are especially flamboyant sometimes get upset because they seem to feel I'm undermining a large part of their identity by not behaving in the same way. With women, I suspect the reaction is because, e… | /r/MensRights | 19/06/15 10:35 AM |
| 5 | Noam Chomsky explains 3rd wave feminism in one minuteThe problem goes deeper than what he says here as well. The reason this kind of thing is so pervasive in the social sciences (and I mean especially the theory known as "social constructivism") is that it enables so-called "social scientists" to craft explanations for human behaviour that don't depend on the natural sciences for support. It doesn't matter to them and it will never matter to them how much evidence there is in favour of evolutionary psychology or sociobiology. Social scientists wan… | /r/MensRights | 14/06/15 01:01 PM |
| 2 | vkontakte : mgtow.ru bans women from subscribingDiana Davidson's alright, although she's prone to going off on barely relevant tangents. A lot of MGTOW, from what I've seen, don't seem to like Sandman. He's certainly articulate, and insightful when it comes to using evolutionary psychology to explain gendered behaviour, but there's some concern that I've seen on r/mgtow that he's trying to turn the philosophy into a business. It's complicated: there are a lot of faces to MGTOW as I said. I'm not even sure if I could be considered MGTOW. I lik… | /r/MensRights | 13/06/15 09:13 PM |
| 3 | 51% of Queens birthday honours go to females. Everyday sexism founder Laura Bates receives a BEM. But the Guardian is still moaning because at the top, 7 women are made Dames; but there are 33 men given Knighthoods.Basically, the British honours system is comprised of 10 different orders of chivalry, 8 of which are orders of knighthood, and some of those have different ranks of knight, so there are 12 or 13 different types of knight you can be. The most common type of knight, though, is Knight Bachelor, which means you're a knight, but you don't belong to any of the orders, like the Order if the British Empire or the Order of the Garter. There's no Dame equivalent of that, so the lowest rank of Dame they c… | /r/MensRights | 13/06/15 07:37 PM |
| 3 | vkontakte : mgtow.ru bans women from subscribingNot really a good idea to use this one site as an example of MGTOW overall. There are a whole bunch of different aspects of the MGTOW lifestyle. A lot of red-pillers, MGTOW or otherwise, talk about the "anger phase": that is, guys who've only recently taken the red pill after being burned by a woman and so see MGTOW or TRP as a way to spite women rather than as a means of self-empowerment. But I think more MGTOW guys really are just guys who want focus on their own self-improvement without havin… | /r/MensRights | 13/06/15 03:23 PM |

But the Guardian is still moaning because at the top, 7 women are made Dames; but there are 33 men given Knighthoods.The really obnoxious part: the actual reason for this is that the lowest rank of Dame in their ridiculously complicated honours system is actually higher than the lowest rank of male knighthood. | /r/MensRights | 13/06/15 02:57 PM |
| 1 | Do MRAs support gay marriage?It won't go away once it's legal. I'm in Canada where gay marriage became legal nationally more than ten years ago, but MRAs and other people who advocate unpopular positions on social issues still get accused of homophobia even I'd nothing they've said even touches on lgbt issues. Edit: even if. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/15 09:37 AM |
| 1 | Do MRAs support gay marriage?I'm gay and I'm highly skeptical of marriage as an institution. Not that I believe that gay men who get married are anywhere near as disadvantaged as men in heterosexual marriages, but I'm still distrustful of the institution. It just seems unnecessary to me. I'm not opposed to marriage politically, though. If you want to get married, gay or straight, you should be able to. It's just not for me. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/15 09:22 AM |
| 1 | Wisconsin Abortion Ban Would Allow Father To Sue For Emotional DistressJust because we support men's rights doesn't mean we should support conservatives who want to violate women's bodies by forcing them to carry a child to term when they don't want to, and punish them for waiting too long to decide they don't want to. This is not a morally black and white issue. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/15 06:21 AM |
| 6 | Tony Blair [ex UK Prime Minister] appointed head of EU body that wants to make "anti-feminism" illegal. Also will not allow any "tolerance" of female circumcision — but I bet it will specifically "protect" male circumcision. See comments for more info.Listen, have some pity on poor Tony. He just wasted 6 years trying and failing to bring peace to the Middle East, for Christ's sake. You wouldn't think it would be hard after the casual ease with which he brought war to the Middle East, but no, he couldn't do it. Can you blame him for picking easier battles now in order to secure his legacy? Edit: /s by the way. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/15 05:31 AM |

| 2 | Porn is similar for men's liberation as the pill was for women's freedomI hate beginning comments with a cliché, but correlation is not causation. I agree with your premise that pornography can provide a sexual outlet for guys who've chosen not to marry or pursue long-term relationships with women, but I'd say it's going too far to view porn as some sort of magic bullet that will "save" guys from marriage until the power imbalance in relationships is corrected. Even the Washington Examiner article just points to a couple of studies making the observation that marria… | /r/MensRights | 03/06/15 04:45 AM |

| 2 | We should be happy man spreading is outlawed, seriously--this is the Dada manifestoHonestly I'm more worried that this frivolous parody still carries enough political clout to get a law passed that enables police to arrest people on these grounds. I'd feel a lot better about sitting back and gloating over how feminism has become a laughable farce if so many legislators weren't taking it seriously. | /r/MensRights | 02/06/15 08:10 PM |
| 1 | Any socialists or leftists here?At the same time, feminism also robs women of their individuality, collectively casting them as helpless victims and porcelain dolls, infants who are unable to accomplish even the most basic of life goals without the assistance of the benevolent mother movement. It refuses to acknowledge women's own capacity to take control of their lives and to take responsibility for their own actions. In its own way, feminism is as misogynistic a set of ideas as I have ever encountered in any philosophy. | /r/MensRights | 02/06/15 03:11 AM |
| 1 | Any socialists or leftists here?If you think that my focus on the fact that men are treated as more disposable than women by a vast swathe of the institutions which govern our society means I value men more than women, you need to take logic pills. I value men and women equally, and I live in a society that does not share that sense of fairness; that expects me to place my interests second to women's and to accept vilification and marginalization as a reward. That is why I'm here. One reason I'm here is because 93% of workplac… | /r/MensRights | 02/06/15 01:56 AM |
| 1 | Any socialists or leftists here?Some of us are anti-feminist. Some of us aren't. I oppose feminism because it's anti-equality. When it comes down to it, we are all here to stick up for the rights of men and the right of everybody to be treated fairly. regardless of how we choose to do it. You seem to believe that we should all be doing it on your terms. To be honest, even though I identify as left-wing, I share your distaste for a lot of the collective-responsibility crap that dominates leftist thought these days. That's part … | /r/MensRights | 01/06/15 07:01 PM |
| 4 | Any socialists or leftists here?If you think leftism necessarily equals anti-capitalism, you're wrong, and if you think capitalism, the way it's practiced in the West these days, is the only economic system that encourages entrepreneurship, then you need a history lesson. We need MRAs and antifeminists of every political stripe in order to successfully advocate for men's equality. I don't have a problem with conservatives for the most part, but it seems to me like a lot of the hyper-libertarian right-wingers in this sub are on… | /r/MensRights | 01/06/15 03:10 PM |
| 2 | Any socialists or leftists here?The rot didn't begin with feminism. The fact that feminist ideology has found a haven in the left is just a symptom of a bigger problem on the left. All of this denial of biology and denial of evidence began when the academic left embraced postmodernist ideology and divorced itself from the labour movement. Ideologies that make claims in contravention of the available evidence tend to be authoritarian in nature whether they're on the left or the right: They can't argue on equal footing with the … | /r/MensRights | 01/06/15 02:54 PM |
| 5 | Any socialists or leftists here?As I said in my own comment on the OP, the MRM objects to a society, motivated largely by feminist ideals, that treats men as disposable, and those of us on the left object to a political and economic system that treats working people, especially working men, as disposable. These objections are not just compatible; they are inextricably tied together. | /r/MensRights | 01/06/15 02:41 PM |

Has anyone does this/ anyone have any useful advice?Just a few cautionary points from across the pond: I just got finished with university in Canada, where several recent attempts to establish men's advocacy groups on a few major university campuses were thwarted by concerted efforts on the part of feminist faculty members working in tandem with student unions. I'm not sure if you've got anything in the UK like a national federation of students' unions, as we have here in Canada, that polices the activities of member unions on a large number of u… | /r/MensRights | 01/06/15 04:06 AM |
| 8 | Any socialists or leftists here?I consider myself an antifeminist and an anarchist, or at the very least a left-libertarian. I think one of the most important pillars of the MRM is its objection to the way feminism, and society in general, treats men as disposable. In the same way, the objection that a lot of us on the left have with regard to neoliberalism and traditional capitalism is that it treats people, especially men, as disposable. It makes sense, in my view, for anyone who opposes one of these ideologies to oppose the… | /r/MensRights | 01/06/15 03:37 AM |
