| 1 | Doctors are leaving careers at a high rate, no it seems mostly a certain gender is leaving.The negative aspects of medicine being predominantly female are mentioned in my first comment. More demand for part time work and therefore more expensive training. This is exacerbated by older men being pushed out due to pension nonsense. How the fuck is that blaming men for anything? I’m insulting you because you’re being incalculably dim over this and making the MRM look stupid by complaining about women being doctors. Answer the question. Do you want to ban women from being doctors? | /r/MensRights | 20/08/18 10:37 AM |
| 1 | Doctors are leaving careers at a high rate, no it seems mostly a certain gender is leaving.Christ this is cretinous. I’m not blaming anyone (other than perhaps those who run the NHS). All I was suggesting is that stating most people who leave the profession are women might not be entirely true, due to the differing demographics at different age points. That’s in my original comment, it is cretinous to suggest I was being inibstrusive about that. The problem is multi-factorial. Things are not black and white. You are not offering any solution to this other than saying “women don’t work… | /r/MensRights | 20/08/18 08:23 AM |
| 1 | Doctors are leaving careers at a high rate, no it seems mostly a certain gender is leaving.because men make up the vast majority of doctors who are in that age group and worked to 55-60 you're at the very least being misleading This is a paraphrase of what I said. “Vast majority are men” = “they are mostly men”. I don’t see how that is misleading. Sorry if the phrasing was unclear. It is a negative consequence of women becoming the majority of doctors that you get less bang for your buck in regards to training costs and years spent in the profession. What is the solution?

| 12 | UK Government responded to the petition to make rape gender neutral. - wants it to refer to "penile penetration" only.Ched Evans has seemingly consensual sex with someone a bit drunk = rape. A school teacher gets her pupil drunk, ties him to a bed, threatens him with a knife, has sex with him = sexual assault. And thus perfect equality achieved. I wouldn't mind so much if the definition of rape wasn't being widened to include anything a woman might consider rape. But if rape is sex without consent or where consent could not be given, then men should be protected by the same expansion of the law. | /r/MensRights | 11/05/16 08:52 AM |

She wasn't previously abused, she was undergoing continued abuse. You don't just turn 18 and go "hey ho, best grow up, tell my dad to back off and sort myself out now." Of course this is a mitigating factor, 18 is still young, and there's every chance she has no concept of what is considered acceptable sexual behaviour.

His lawyer, Laurent Poumarède, said at no time did his client force the women to have sex.Pretty much everyone has been raped by this standard. If I knew my ex had cheated on me, I wouldn't have carried on sleeping with her. I don't see how you can criminalize being a lying asshat. If a model on a dating website insists on having sex in the dark without ever seeing their face, you're a fucking moron to go through with it.

| 7 | Did Anita Sarkeesian Commit Felony Wire Fraud?You'd think somebody would have spent the time to at least send her one tiny little death threat. She can't possibly be so useless that she couldn't get a death threat off of the internets when she has spent the best part of a year fishing for them. I have been thinking for a while that she must be doing something illegal. But the problem is proving it. You'd essentially have to prove that she sent the death threats to herself. Even if she was stupid enough to set up that twitter account from he… | /r/MensRights | 14/09/14 05:37 PM |

| 1 | "A man should never hit a woman" -- Why not?More often than not, the best form of self-defense is running away or talking somebody down. There was a story a few weeks ago about a girl at Notting Hill Carnival who 'defended' herself by pushing a guy who groped her. Just like 'pre-emptive' self-defense, all such action does is escalate a situation, and she wound up in hospital. Going through life without punching/hitting anyone should be the goal. Landing the first punch is never really the best self-defense option unless you're fairly conf… | /r/MensRights | 12/09/14 08:24 AM |

| 4 | Former social worker describes feeling like a 'token male' and how he saw ingrained feminist prejudice against dads putting children at risk of abuseThis is why I really dislike feminist theory. I don't get how they get around the double-think. They will always say they want to smash gender roles and then in the very next breath suggest that it is just fact that men are more violent and come up with bollocks like the Duluth model. Gender is a social construct, unless its a guy, then they can't help themselves from smacking seven shades of shit out of their kids. | /r/MensRights | 11/09/14 07:36 PM |

| 4 | “Rape? What rape? I don’t see no rape!” The real reason behind the feminist silence on the Rotherham rapes.It's not only allegations though. I'm from Rotherham, it's been common knowledge for a very long time and 5 men were convicted four years ago. 1400 sounds like a lot, but it works out as 2 victims a week, and even small groups of people operating pretty much unimpeded could manage this quite easily. So I don't think there's too much need to be skeptical about the fact that this has effected a lot of young women here. | /r/MensRights | 11/09/14 03:17 PM |

Paternity is like gender, a social construct implemented by the patriarchy in order to suppress women and ils sont baisee if they're gonna let human rights get in the way of smashing the system. | /r/MensRights | 10/09/14 04:21 PM |

| 3 | Bit of light Relief - What Celebgate says about men. Three feminists speculating about what shits men are and going "that's really interesting"The mind boggles. Again, the assumption that these photos were leaked by a man and that they are being viewed exclusively by men. "Why do naked photos have so much power over women?" "Because female nudity is shameful." Right, so nothing to do with the fact that the male naked form is worthless and that the female naked form is valuable and powerful. Just ignore the fact that both female porn stars and models get paid many many times more than their male counterparts. Just a fucking assertion of… | /r/MensRights | 08/09/14 10:14 PM |

| 1 | Will the Guardian newspaper ever take a day-off from having a go at men?Mary Beard: "It doesn't much matter what line of argument you take as a woman," she told the New Yorker recently. "If you venture into traditional male territory, the abuse comes anyway." What I don't think a lot of women understand is that the abuse is there whether they are there or not. I'm beginning to think of it as a room where a load of men are happily sitting around, jovially abusing one another, and then a women comes in and they get the same treatment and understandably are a bit off-p… | /r/MensRights | 07/09/14 10:49 PM |

Fighting a tremendous amount of propaganda (MRM, not the KKK, obviously, (although who knows? Maybe their a SJ group who disagreed with feminism and have been thoroughly misrepresented)), with 'journalists' still conflating Elliott Rodger, PUAs, Incels, Bodybuilders, NAMbLA, Unrepentent rapists, [insert wanker of choice] with people who think men should be able to see their kids, k… | /r/MensRights | 07/09/14 05:35 PM |
