4	So it turns out the new Bond film, partly written by a man hating feminist, is basically a nearly three hour long film of apologising for being male... Honestly, I think what you said is the bigger issue. Jodie Whittaker is just bad in that role. The Doctor being a woman really wasn't a big issue for the fanbase.	/r/MensRights	02/10/21 01:27 PM
2	What percentage of women are actually radical undatable feminists or undatable due to mental illness? A woman that I considered to be a fairly radical feminist had a husband and 3 kids with him. And from what I could tell, they had a reasonably stable marriage, and pretty well-behaved kids. But I couldn't stand to be in a room with her because she made me feel worthless every chance she got. Somehow though, her husband seemed happy. This is a person that I watched purposely not hire men in positions at the office because she basically thought men couldn't do intelligent work, and at one point ev…	/r/MensRights	26/09/21 03:23 AM
2	Men on tv sitcoms Dan Conner (John Goodman) is on ABC on "The Conners". Always sorta liked him. But his character is from the same era as Boy Meets World.	/r/MensRights	26/09/21 01:38 AM
9	The post itself is annoying but the comments are...decent. I mean, getting mad at someone for wanting personal space is so petty. At least some comments understand that everyone deserves personal space. I mean Ive seen men who are assholes about their 'man cave' but woman can be the same their space I scanned through the first handful of comments and it's surprisingly a civil discussion. But the title is definitely a generalization. I don't think that ALL men feel "entitled". But I do think that that many "people" like to have their own space.	/r/MensRights	21/09/21 04:49 AM
10	Being a man means neighbourhood kids no longer talk with you cause you are seen as a creep I have 2 nieces and 1 nephew. One niece in particular and I get along very well. I think we have a pretty good bond, we play games, take walks, do family stuff and have a great time. But all of them are fun to be around, and we enjoy each other's company. My mom (the grandmother), has been irritated recently because that particular niece isn't as affectionate towards her as my mom seems to want. Especially when it comes to hugging and that sort of thing. My mom is sort of forcing the issue, some…	/r/MensRights	21/09/21 03:40 AM
1	Feminist GF seems unsympathetic to mens issues, sees most men as assholes. Is this a red flag to break it off? Being in a bad mood and having one negative conversation wouldn't have been a big red flag. But, when you told her about your experience in prison and she not only had no sympathy but brushed it off as not even being a rape would have been a deal breaker right there for me. If you don't feel like you can share something like that with your partner and she at least be understanding and supportive, then she isn't right for you.	/r/MensRights	21/09/21 01:21 AM
2	is this wrong You were harassed, no question. The moment you rejected the action and it wasn't stopped, it became harassment.	/r/MensRights	20/09/21 08:00 PM
68	I have never been told not to cry by a man, only women and children. I really only remember really breaking down really intensely once in public - at my grandmother's funeral. I was 17 years old (I'm a guy by the way). I held it together during most of the funeral, but I was asked after the funeral started to be a pallbearer, and wasn't expecting that. I wasn't prepared, and it made the situation worse. The other pallbearers were seating together (all men), and my cousin was sitting beside me. When we gathered after the main ceremony was over, I lost control and …	/r/MensRights	20/09/21 06:58 PM
1	Gender bias in who have to come back to office in this pandemic I'm glad you were brave enough to ask the question. Although I'm not very surprised about the answer you received, it is a little disappointing.	/r/MensRights	08/09/21 02:58 PM
3	Gender bias in who have to come back to office in this pandemic Management has been asking, but did they make it mandatory for anyone to return to the office? If it is an employee choice to return to the office, I'm having a hard time seeing how there is bias in this situation. Not to say there isn't bias, I'm just not seeing it from what you shared in your post. I'm just seeing that the women chose to stay working remotely. I would also be curious as to the situations of those individuals. Are these workers using the work at home option as a way to save on …	/r/MensRights	06/09/21 02:07 PM
2	Notice from Selective Service System (SSS): Exemptions include: At Birth My Sex was female. Ahh, ok. That makes a lot more sense now.	/r/MensRights	26/08/21 12:19 AM
2	If the baby in Nirvana's Nevermind album cover was female instead of male, would people get mad at it? I don't disagree with that at all, especially if it's a royalty situation. But then, the lawsuit should be against the parents, not the publisher.	/r/MensRights	25/08/21 06:19 PM
1	Notice from Selective Service System (SSS): Exemptions include: At Birth My Sex was female. I find 4 and 5 somewhat amazing as well. Do they actually expect an illegal immigrant to fill this out and state that they're effectively here illegally? And, expect someone confined in a mental hospital to be able to fill this out? Also, if a trans man did register as a man, even though at birth was a female, is that some kind of felony?	/r/MensRights	25/08/21 06:01 PM
1	If the baby in Nirvana's Nevermind album cover was female instead of male, would people get mad at it? I definitely don't understand the idea of making statues of anything peeing.	/r/MensRights	25/08/21 05:00 PM
5	If the baby in Nirvana's Nevermind album cover was female instead of male, would people get mad at it? I agree that circumcision is mutilation. Not sure on the exploitation issue...do you consider a painting of a baby to be exploitation? What about child actors? What about family photos of a baby? Obviously a gray area where many people draw the line in many places. I don't disagree with you. I just like to understand the thinking.	/r/MensRights	25/08/21 04:58 PM
17	If the baby in Nirvana's Nevermind album cover was female instead of male, would people get mad at it? If this was pornography, then wouldn't all nude art be considered pornography as well? Like, the statue of David should be forced to wear clothes because it's pornographic? There is no sexual intent of the cover of this album. But, I have a suspicion that this lawsuit has nothing to do with any sort of abuse, it's really just about the money. I don't think this is really a male vs. female thing, I think it's about a guy that probably found or was approached by a lawyer that decided he could make…	/r/MensRights	25/08/21 02:36 PM
1	Something that I HATE in movies and series I have to confess that I've gotten a bit teary eyed on more than one occasion during intense family moments in that show. The writing for character development in that show is pretty amazing.	/r/MensRights	21/04/21 02:32 PM
1	Something that I HATE in movies and series I almost mentioned Captain Sisko from DS9....but then I realized that he was a widower. Oops... I still like how his relationship was portrayed with his son though.	/r/MensRights	21/04/21 02:30 PM
7	My coworkers got flowers. I got nothing. If the female nurses are incapable of these duties, which seems like they would be a part of their job requirements, then they are not qualified to work there and should be reassigned. It is absolutely not acceptable for the "guy" to get stuck with the "heavy lifting" jobs, as we all seem to.	/r/MensRights	21/04/21 02:29 PM
33	Something that I HATE in movies and series I agree that the scenario you're talking about is what the majority tends to show. I will say that I finally ran across an amazing example of a totally different scenario - Have you watched the CW series "The Flash"? A father gets put in prison because he is accused of murdering his wife. However, he is proven innocent and is released (eventually). The neighbor (a single father), takes in the effectively orphaned kid (who becomes the Flash). The single dad neighbor's former wife was a drug addic…	/r/MensRights	20/04/21 10:09 PM
2	Plummeting sperm counts, shrinking penises: toxic chemicals threaten humanity — The Guardian Do some digging into this article....the fertility rates have dropped since 1964 by half. Think about what was happening prior to 1964...2 world wars, the cold war, threat of nuclear attack. Wouldn't that drive humans to have more children to replace who was lost? The reality is that families just aren't having as many kids. Fewer people get married. Fewer people even want families. They even say that widespread availability of contraception, cultural changes, and economic factors come into play…	/r/MensRights	19/03/21 05:37 AM
3	I usually listen to Reddit videos on YouTube while working. This video came up on my recommended, and definitely had me remembering similar situations in my life. I’m sure men here can relate. To all the men who can relate to any of these, you are not alone. Do not give up. Sometimes, unless you're directly affected by these situations, it's almost hard to believe that they even happen. Some of the stories told on this video could have been written by me. Several of them happened in such a similar way it brought back some pretty terrible memories. I worked in an after school program as a "teacher", really just a babysitter, but we did do some educational activities with the kids. I had a great relationship with the kids. Very rarely were there any problems, and we …	/r/MensRights	19/03/21 03:20 AM
1	Is anyone knows a good movie/tv series about fatherhood ? Star Trek DS9 has some phenomenal episodes about a father and his son. The whole background story of the Siskos is pretty amazing. Probably the best example is the episode from the 4th season called "The Visitor".	/r/MensRights	20/10/20 09:31 PM
-1	Does anyone else feel like if you were as strong and confident as you wanted to be, you would be condemned for being toxic? I'm a guy, and I would consider a strong, confident, gutsy guy that's an ass to everyone around him to be toxic. However, being all those things but still having the ability to be friendly, and a decent human being is perfectly fine. Just my opinion. But honestly, you should just be what you want and forget what everyone else thinks.	/r/MensRights	10/10/20 03:03 AM
3	“We cry as men” I wasn't excluding other instances of emotional reactions that would trigger someone to cry. I was referring to the context of the original post. I even referenced that, about crying in relation to pain.	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 03:33 PM
11	“We cry as men” Crying is a reaction to a trauma of some kind. Of course it doesn't solve emotional problems, but it doesn't for women either. Traumas can most definitely last past the crying. What worked here is that the coach talked through what triggered the crying with the kid. The crying part was just a side effect of him dealing with the pain (trauma). And, ALL men don't get satisfaction from physical activity like chopping wood. And I'm sure that some women would get a benefit from chopping wood. Choppin…	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 01:03 AM
9	"Girls can have long or short hair, boys don't get a choice." Senior with dreadlocks is discriminated against by the division superintendent with a new dress code about hair length. That video is from January. Apparently there were two guys involved, one was a senior (featured in the video), the other was a junior. The school told the junior that he would be "indefinitely enrolled" in in-school suspension, and the senior wouldn't be able to participate in graduation ceremonies. The issue wasn't resolved, and both students ended up transferring to another school district. The federal court gave them "temporary relief", but the senior was unable to graduate from his high scho…	/r/MensRights	21/08/20 04:36 AM
5	Why is everyone blaming men for not wearing masks when it’s clearly women? I think there's plenty of evidence that gender has little to do with not wearing a mask. It's just a way to find something to complain about to try to reinforce the person that's blaming them's position that they already have.	/r/MensRights	08/07/20 03:37 PM
3	Was I wrong about feminism? I think all of us stories related to this. The problem is that when guys share them, they're met with humiliation instead of being supported. I was harassed multiple times at work by a female employee, like to the point where I refused to use the elevator because she would jump on to try to make me feel uncomfortable. My office was on the 8th floor and I would walk stairs that far multiple times a day to avoid her. I was young (22 years old), and when I complained to the HR person she literally …	/r/MensRights	07/07/20 05:06 AM
5	One of our own just got stabbed by a crazy woman just for being male. Blue Orange wasn't even talking to her about anything MRA related. I'm curious as to the context of this situation. It sounds like a terrible incident, but what's the background story, like the event/venue, etc. I'm also a little blown away that all he got was a card from the police department. As others have said (on youtube), if you didn't go to the hospital, you really need to get some kind of medical report.	/r/MensRights	04/07/20 11:09 PM
33	My wife left on an agreed break with the kids, now I am losing everything... It isn't right in any way. You need to find an advocate to help you fight for this. I have to assume that you had a lawyer involved in your custody hearings that established the child support. You need to appeal the court's decision in this. I have to imagine there are some support groups and/or advocacy groups that have resources to help with this sort of thing. I hope things get better for you. This has to be absolutely terrible, and please don't neglect your mental health through all of this.	/r/MensRights	30/06/20 01:24 PM
9	My wife left on an agreed break with the kids, now I am losing everything... Not particularly helpful.	/r/MensRights	30/06/20 01:22 PM
3	Didn't get accepted to a job because I'm not a woman? I'd apply again, identify your gender as female, and see if you make any headway. I still think this stuff is unbelievable. In a job like that, gender is so irrelevant, as it is with most jobs. I would also record the conversation as well. Because in a lawsuit, they'll just deny it, and you won't have any proof of discrimination.	/r/MensRights	30/06/20 12:44 PM
2	The ad was against masculine toxicity and was meant to make them more money but then surprisingly men fight back I think the mods should flag this as slightly misleading. There's no real evidence that this is related to the ad that aired, and the US stock prices for the same company really didn't fluctuate all that much during the same period.	/r/MensRights	21/06/20 12:12 AM
39	So I did an experiment to test male employment discrimination, and it's real. I'm joining this sub Speaking from a person who has done hiring at a restaurant - I actually had a very difficult time getting male applicants for server positions. And same thing for females in kitchen positions. So when one looked promising, I usually jumped on the opportunity to try them out in those spots to try to achieve some kind of balance. I didn't even know this was going to be a thing (because I hadn't been in the restaurant business). I hired a couple of male servers. They were constantly criticized by t…	/r/MensRights	18/06/20 03:09 AM
2	"My wife has stopped being intimate with me until I agree to adopt an African American child" - Welcome to Clown World ladies and gents, where women can be unabashedly racist and everyone takes their side 🤡 If the husband has any desire to attempt to keep the family together, they really should see a family counselor or something. I can't see any discussions at this point being productive without a mediator involved.	/r/MensRights	17/06/20 07:26 PM
3	Study on woman abusing man in public - no one cares Could that be a difference in culture (country)? The video you linked seemed to be American (based on accents from speech), the other was definitely British. Not saying that the Brits wouldn't ever react that way, but Americans seem to get stirred up much easier in scenarios like that.	/r/MensRights	16/06/20 01:37 PM
17	Study on woman abusing man in public - no one cares Watch the reactions of the people standing around in both scenarios. When the woman is the target, there is anger on the faces in the crowd. When the man is the target, people are smiling and laughing.	/r/MensRights	16/06/20 01:34 PM
