| 2 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3.1: Men’s issue priorities and rationales.Thanks for your kind words. I have done my best to be careful and methodical with this project, so I'm happy that comes through and I appreciate that you took the time to say something. I see your point about the potential meaning of the different degree of variation in top-ranked issues between MRAs and non-MRAs. Do you mind if I quote you in an edit to the piece? I find your interpretation compelling, so I would like to include it. I will attribute the idea to you, of course - by name or anony… | /r/MensRights | 17/04/19 03:20 PM |

| 3 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3.1: Men’s issue priorities and rationales.Does Title IX not cover scholarships? My impression was that it did (and not just athletic scholarships). I found this article about professor Mark Perry that seems to confirm that idea. It looks like Title IX is the vehicle he's used to successfully challenge hegemonic female preference in education assistance. So maybe the key there is to take his precedent and run with it? As for healthcare, I have one very specific idea that I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on. I think it would make s… | /r/MensRights | 16/04/19 12:53 PM |
| 3 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3.1: Men’s issue priorities and rationales.Let's talk about those topics. I agree they are important. Can you identify specific ways that there is a mismatch in funding between the sexes in education or healthcare, and/or do you know of any policy initiatives that would address them? | /r/MensRights | 15/04/19 11:03 AM |
| 3 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3.1: Men’s issue priorities and rationales.Thanks for the feedback. I have to say I found the written responses very compelling. I will think about the comparison across multiple dimensions like expert/lay status, MRA/non, and age cohort. I expect that analysis could get complicated very quickly. Also, depending on the number of participants belonging to each relevant subsample, comparisons might not be very insightful. It is certainly worth investigating, though. | /r/MensRights | 15/04/19 01:22 AM |
| 1 | Update: A year ago researchers approached the sub and asked for interviews. Here is the result.You're right! Did the researchers tell you any details about the presentation? I'm interested in the scale and background of the potential audience that their presentation reached. | /r/MensRights | 07/04/19 09:03 PM |
| 1 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?Good question. I didn't define any of the terms that people could select in this part of the survey (aside from explaining what acronyms meant). To be honest, I had no idea there was a formal Egalitarian movement. I went into this thinking that people must have been identifying with the term egalitarian based on its dictionary definition rather than its relation to any specific movement, but maybe I am wrong. The data from Part 1 of the series indicate that the bulk of participants are moderate … | /r/MensRights | 14/03/19 02:23 PM |
| 1 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?It doesn't strike me as likely that a person would anonymously identify as a Pickup Artist out of a desire for bragging rights. I don't disagree that Pickup Artist is a label inherently disrespectful to the people being picked up, but I am not a PUA (and I'm guessing you are not either?). | /r/MensRights | 13/03/19 05:17 PM |
| 2 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?Although most people are familiar with those terms as insults, they originate from communities who actually identify with the labels. | /r/MensRights | 13/03/19 04:57 PM |
| 2 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?I've just changed the clause in that sentence to "...while another person may think that feminists are exclusively interested in bettering women's lot to the detriment of men and children". What do you think of that? | /r/MensRights | 12/03/19 07:41 PM |
| 2 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?I would like to see them do so, because I think that there could be some common ground established between the groups. It would be great if some opportunities for collaboration and broader activism could arise out of such a study. However, it is likely there would not be very much consistency between the research they'd do and this study given that they would have been created by different people (and I'm not sure they would agree to using the topics on the men's rights wiki page as their source… | /r/MensRights | 12/03/19 07:37 PM |

| 2 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?I think I see what you mean, about what I wrote with respect to feminism. I'm afraid I must have communicated my thoughts poorly in the blog post, because when I offered the alternative "while another person may think that feminists are exclusively interested in bettering women’s lot," I was trying to reference a perspective like the one you just voiced. I guess it sounds a bit milquetoast, the way I put it, because I was hoping to avoid being overly controversial. Due to the sadly controversial… | /r/MensRights | 12/03/19 04:16 PM |

| 1 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?Does this post look familiar to you? If not, you might have missed the survey. Sorry about that! I would've loved to have had more data. Either way, if you look through my post history you'll find a couple of other posts with survey results on different measures. | /r/MensRights | 12/03/19 03:50 PM |
| 1 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?I appreciate the positive feedback! | /r/MensRights | 12/03/19 03:48 PM |
| 2 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?The total sample collected was 386. After applying exclusion criteria (see here), the sample for analysis was 231. While writing this post, one person was excluded for having categorized him/herself as both feminist and anti-feminist - so as of now the sample size is 230. | /r/MensRights | 12/03/19 03:47 PM |
| 2 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?You must not live in the West if you think identity politics accomplishes nothing. It's often not any good that it accomplishes, but it sure does accomplish things. To bring it back to this survey, is there no possible use for data concerning the relative proportion of people engaging on this sub who may be MRAs, feminists, incels, or otherwise? | /r/MensRights | 12/03/19 02:59 PM |
| 8 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?That's a great idea. I tried almost an inverse of that in my survey when I asked participants to prioritize issues that concern the MRM - trying to get at the question of where it may be most fruitful to put forth movement effort as a function of the will to tackle different issues. I had hoped to compare this sub to Men's Lib, but their mods declined to allow me to conduct a survey there. | /r/MensRights | 12/03/19 02:54 PM |
| 3 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 3: How do r/MensRightsers describe themselves?Your critique about a women's rights activist label is fair. However, isn't it likely that a person who is anti-feminist, yet believes in the equality of the sexes, likely also ticked the box next to egalitarian? I do think it might have been useful to see how many people might have ticked WRA who did or did not tick MRA, but I suspect there would probably be huge overlap between WRA and egalitarians. I think this is because both feminist and MRA refer to group membership of specific social move… | /r/MensRights | 12/03/19 02:51 PM |

| 1 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 2: Personality DimensionsYou're right that there has been a reddit-wide demographic survey (data presented here). I haven't been able to find any data on personality characteristics of reddit, though. | /r/MensRights | 03/03/19 05:36 PM |
| 1 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 2: Personality DimensionsNo, I hadn't run across that study. Those are very interesting findings. Has anyone done a retrospective analysis of the articles linked on r/mensrightslinks? It occurs to me that it could be interesting to see what patterns would emerge from looking back through them all, as a sort of systematic review. | /r/MensRights | 02/03/19 04:35 PM |
| 2 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 2: Personality DimensionsThanks for that suggestion. I added a few figures for the comparative analyses. | /r/MensRights | 01/03/19 10:04 PM |
| 2 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 2: Personality DimensionsI appreciate the positive feedback, and that you approach the work with a critical eye. | /r/MensRights | 01/03/19 07:59 PM |
| 4 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 2: Personality DimensionsHere is a paper from Sweden that briefly looks into that question. It doesn't compare the Big Five directly with feminist ideology, but you might get a kick out of Table 2 nonetheless. For another paper that might provide a bit of insight (also not looking at the Big Five in relation to feminism), see this paper on left wing authoritarianism. It's unfortunate that nobody has published research on that specific question to better inform the discussion (or, at least, I did not find any papers deal… | /r/MensRights | 01/03/19 04:55 PM |
| 6 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 2: Personality DimensionsThat's a fair point. It's a shame there isn't a source on reddit in general to discern that. Whether it is the case that this pattern of results is true of reddit in general, though, at least there's now hard evidence that it is true of this sub. Edit: plural verb should have been singular. | /r/MensRights | 01/03/19 02:09 AM |
| 5 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 1: Summary Demographic InformationYou could be on to something. I believe one of the mods suggested a similar method of selecting important people, but - if I recall correctly - their suggestion was more geared toward making sure that all of those people were identified strictly correctly, rather than looking at how some were mislabeled. I just did a bit of checking, and it seems like some of the figures on the Check Scale are more or less well-known in unexpected ways. For example, I too thought that Alison Tieman would be a ve… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/19 07:56 PM |
| 3 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 1: Summary Demographic InformationI share your intuition about the element of intellectual curiosity involved in questioning dominant social narratives. If you recall (assuming you took the survey), there was a chunk of questions dealing with the way people approach new information and problem solving. That scale is the Five-Dimensional Curiosity Scale (5DC), which I administered to investigate what you mentioned - whether folks in the MRM are particularly curious people. I will present that data in a later installment, and I'm … | /r/MensRights | 08/02/19 06:30 PM |
| 4 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 1: Summary Demographic InformationI think it's a matter of focus. MRAs and members of those other groups often rail against common enemies, but for different reasons. My impression is that MRAs want what is best for men/boys because they see males as intrinsically valuable in equal measure to every other type of person. On the other hand, groups like incels and PUAs seem to just be looking for what they can get out of women. By regressives, do you mean traditionalists? If so, I think that - while there are probably some traditio… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/19 06:25 PM |
| 3 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 1: Summary Demographic InformationThank you for the feedback. There are details here about what answers I determined to be correct for each person on the Check Scale along with my rationale. That post also has details about how many people were excluded from analysis based on their scores on the Check Scale. I think your criticism of the measure is very fair, and that is part of why I decided to go the route of including as many people as possible and using the lay vs. expert distinction. The criteria I set prior to data collect… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/19 02:48 PM |
| 5 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 1: Summary Demographic InformationAs your question has been answered already, I'll just say: thank you very much! | /r/MensRights | 08/02/19 12:45 PM |
| 4 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 1: Summary Demographic InformationI appreciate your suggestion. Taking that approach may provide me with a way to reincorporate the income data from non-U.S. participants. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/19 12:27 PM |
| 5 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 1: Summary Demographic InformationI welcome your objection, but here are my counterpoints. While you're right that in reality the categories of feminist and MRA are not mutually exclusive, they were in the survey. Participants could only choose one of three options, so the trick of the scale was determining the best answer. When faced with a person whose conduct suggests both feminist and MRA, but who identifies herself as a feminist, I think it's reasonable to determine that the best answer is in line with the way she identifie… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/19 12:14 PM |
| 15 | Community Survey of r/MensRights - Part 1: Summary Demographic InformationWe disagree with most trad-cons too It makes sense - most traditional conservatives advocate for the assumption of historical burden by males, but they seem to miss that there is a disproportionate expectation of burden vs. freedom with respect to males. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/19 04:09 AM |

I meant that it doesn't seem to fit the writers' intended message.

| 0 | Domestic Violence Awareness Australia - True StatisticsI'm on board with showing the counter to the traditional feminist narrative (i.e., highlighting male victimization) as a method of providing balance in the realm of domestic violence. I'm even sympathetic to your point that the mainstream narrative precludes male victims of IPV-related homicide. I don't agree that there is no equivalence, however. The equivalence lies in the fact that this is an erroneous statistic that does not help to further the message that men and boys are equally human and… | /r/MensRights | 02/02/19 05:44 AM |

| 1 | The Harvard GenderSci Lab is a collaborative, interdisciplinary research lab dedicated to generating feminist concepts, methods, and theories for scientific research on sex and gender.Have you had a glimpse at the blog? It's only got four posts, the most-recent of which looks like a bad parody of feminist publishing. I'm a little bit scared to think that they are seriously suggesting that Signs has anything near the rigor, merit, or prestige of Science. It could just be a joke, but I'm not optimistic given the smattering of academics involved with this lab.

It's a pleasure to interact with a fellow appreciator of heterodoxy. As for your first statement in this comment - if you're referring to the scale that I think you are, you are probably not far off. I have my own criticisms to levy against it, and I am looking forward to seeing the data from this study. If things go according to my hypotheses, there will be much to discuss in relation to that scale. | /r/MensRights | 26/01/19 03:53 AM |

| 1 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.I understand that you distrust psychologists in general, but I assure you I have no agenda with this research. Yes, I realize that a person with an agenda would assure you of the same. If you're suspicious of me, please take a look at all the interactions I've had in this thread (and check out my post history if you still don't think I am being genuine). Jordan Peterson himself is a psychologist. While he criticizes much of the discipline, he is a living example that we are not all of the sort h… | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 08:47 PM |
| 1 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.I understand your request, but I am afraid I can't do that. There is too much risk that it will change the way people answer the questions, introducing a sort of bias I won't be able to account for now that data collection has already begun. | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 08:43 PM |
| 2 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.No, I am not a feminist. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're curious why I've said my hands are tied with regard to structure of some of the measures in the survey. Is that right? If so, that is because other people created these scales. For anyone who is attempting to do that with psychometric validity (or even the pretense of it), that is a fairly intensive process. It involves creating a scale with quite a few items, collecting a large sample, testing which items (if any) clump togethe… | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 07:14 PM |
| 3 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.Of course! I am concerned with many issues facing men and boys, as I know MRAs are. At the same time, I am aware of the way many MRAs are presented within popular media and within academic scholarship. An interesting common element to the representation in these domains - beyond their almost exclusive negativity - is the surprising lack of empirical foundation for damaging allegations against MRAs and the MRM. What little empirical work has been done has largely been filtered through a feminist … | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 06:01 PM |
| 2 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.I think your criticisms of that scale are fair, and I share some of them. I intend to shine a spotlight on some of the pitfalls of that measure when I present the data. | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 04:28 PM |
| 1 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.You're right, there's no guarantee that I can avoid bias. However, there are ways to assess whether it is present, and if it is so subtle as to avoid detection then there is no way of knowing. That is a danger we take whenever we attempt to gain knowledge that is not strictly mathematical, and I don't find it to be a compelling argument against making the attempt. I am aware of how popular media generally depicts MRAs and any place where they gather. I don't doubt that there are people motivated… | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 03:45 PM |
| 1 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.I realize that I didn't respond to the concern you expressed in this comment. I intend to look at the impact of sex, gender, and sexual orientation on responses to that specific scale. So, I agree with your insight that such variables will probably influence responses. | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 03:19 PM |
| 4 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.This kind of logic is precisely why I bash surveys especially political ones so often. I know it's probable that you have not taken a glance to check, but this is not a political survey. It is largely a demographic survey that also looks at some cognitive variables (personality and curiosity, for example) and seeks opinions about the most important issues facing men and boys. There are two items in the entire survey (of over 216 separate items) that ask about politics. coming from the perspectiv… | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 02:59 PM |
| 1 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.Thanks for your feedback, but will you please eliminate specific references to survey items from your comment? Including names, specific wording, etc. Edit: Thank you! | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 05:16 AM |
| 3 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.Good question. Some elements of the survey were designed in consultation with the mods with that particular concern in mind. I established a priori criteria for "passing" such elements, to determine whose data should be included in analysis and whose should not. If the results of testing for inclusion based on those standards proves to be too stringent or too loose, I may re-evaluate and shift the criteria. | /r/MensRights | 25/01/19 05:12 AM |

| 1 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.That's confusing. Is that what you see when you follow the link from the blog? The link there should be going to the updated registration. Or are you looking at the activity log? If that's the case, I submitted a registration and then deleted it because I wanted to make edits. You can't edit a registration once it's submitted, so I had to delete (cancel) the first and re-initiate. | /r/MensRights | 24/01/19 09:08 PM |

Would you mind PMing me more details about the survey item you are referring to? | /r/MensRights | 24/01/19 08:51 PM |
| 1 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.That's a fair criticism of the scale. I made use of this scale, despite the improvements that could be made to it, because I have some predictions about the phenomenon it purports to measure. I'm unfortunately limited in resources, so I have neither the time nor the funds to develop and validate my own scale for this purpose. Anyway, thank you for your time! | /r/MensRights | 24/01/19 06:21 PM |

While that's fair enough as it goes, it rather makes your response that the results will be posted on your blog rather pointless and useless.

I am worried that making it too readily available might lead to some people reading it before taking the study (and thus potentially introducing bias into their answers once they know my hypotheses).

| 5 | [18+] Recruiting members of the men’s rights community for a survey measuring opinions, demographics, and personality factors.So the mere presence of a consent form is not sufficient. I followed the link and saw the form, it's still rather vague... This is an unfortunate necessity for consent forms. It's very tricky to strike a balance between giving participants an idea of what they're getting into and keeping things vague enough not to bias responses based on either A) foreknowledge of the specific scales and measures used, or B) accidentally cuing hypotheses and expectations.

It's a positive thing both that there was widespread support for creating the Section in the first place, but also that there are people like these two professors (who authored the blogpost) involved. Their comment on 'toxic masculinity' is refreshing, coming from psychologists. Especially in light of the recent treatment guidelines released by the APA that seem to do all they can to reinforce the stigmatization of masculinity. | /r/MensRights | 31/12/18 02:03 PM |

I have had similar moments with folks, albeit none with whom I share a patient-clinician relationship.

| 2 | The APA has released formal guidelines for clinical psychologists working with men & boys.Psychology =/= social psychology. There are some much more rigorous subdisciplines of psychology not prone to the same sorts of errors common in social.
