2	UK 10 Pound note -- great scientist to be replaced with adequate writer of fiction. No prizes for guessing the sexes involved. You used the wrong account to reply, schmuck. What? You think I'm /u/Uncap? xD You really are a conspiracy theorist.	/r/MensRights	31/07/13 01:28 AM
5	UK 10 Pound note -- great scientist to be replaced with adequate writer of fiction. No prizes for guessing the sexes involved. Shakespeare's already been on a note.	/r/MensRights	30/07/13 03:27 PM
4	UK 10 Pound note -- great scientist to be replaced with adequate writer of fiction. No prizes for guessing the sexes involved. I assume it had to be a truly great person I think most people would say that Austen was a truly great person. She's one of the most widely acclaimed and read English writers.	/r/MensRights	30/07/13 03:24 PM
4	UK 10 Pound note -- great scientist to be replaced with adequate writer of fiction. No prizes for guessing the sexes involved. Unfortunately, that's not how logic works. You first made the claim It is definitely not as important as science So the burden of proof is on you.	/r/MensRights	30/07/13 03:20 PM
22	UK 10 Pound note -- great scientist to be replaced with adequate writer of fiction. No prizes for guessing the sexes involved. What? Jane Austen was one of the greatest fiction writers of all time. Someone thought it was a good idea to allow ONE female figure (barring the Queen, who never rotates out) on the currency. Is that really a feminist conspiracy?	/r/MensRights	30/07/13 06:20 AM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood How does the public feel toward standing up for women? I guess they support it. Really? If you ask people, they basically feel that sex crimes against women are ok and not a problem? Wow, and you accuse me of straw manning. Again, the issue is not how they "feel" about sex crimes, it's that sex crimes are occuring in high numbers. It might, but only if you compare misogynist practices with misandrist practices in amount, acceptability and severity. But you haven't even looked at them so you can'…	/r/MensRights	26/06/13 08:43 AM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood To anyone who reads this comment thread: I'm sorry, I tried. The questions were: 1) How big is feminism relative to masculism? How often are womens' interests explicitly addressed vs men's interests? How many more male voters are there than female? How are women and/or women's interests addressed in the media vs men and/or men's interests? How does the public in general feel towards helping and standing up for the interests of women vs doing the same for men? Which is more important to people an…	/r/MensRights	26/06/13 08:22 AM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood If you don't know... why have I spent like two days debating people on this sub, trying to establish that women are at a disadvantage in India? I'm by no means a feminist- I think that, in Western democracies especially, women and men have different sets of problems, but are on pretty equal footing, and men's issues do tend to be obscured and ignored as a result of women's issues. But in India, where problems for women include public gang rapes and harassment, throwing themselves on their husban…	/r/MensRights	26/06/13 06:33 AM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood So, what are your answers to those questions? At least for me, my knowledge of gender dynamics in India indicated that men are clearly in charge. Also, how come "How are men treated?" and "How are women treated?" not questions we need to ask?	/r/MensRights	25/06/13 10:41 PM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood In reality, whichever group gets more political attention is also more influential. So you're saying that women have more power in India?	/r/MensRights	25/06/13 09:45 PM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood Usually because there are more women in general but this might be different in India. It is, because in India there are about a million sex-selective abortions and female infanticides per year. But like I said, the majority in the electorate is small (unless a country has just come out of a war). It's not, because of all the various women's right issues, about 927 women per 1000 men make it to voting age. I was talking about democracies in general. Some things may be different in India. Most (pe…	/r/MensRights	25/06/13 08:17 PM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood So you're saying that women control Indian society? That's really the claim you're making? Also: In the case of majority, women have only a small advantage over men Huh? Why are there more women in the electorate?	/r/MensRights	25/06/13 07:54 PM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood If all crime went down Source?	/r/MensRights	25/06/13 12:43 AM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood This connection has a counter example. This was a statistical fluke. How come when I do it, it's a fluke, but when you do it, it's a counterexample? Socially marginalized groups are seen as more sexually predatory than socially dominant groups. Consistently. Well, they're not in India, if "socially marginalized" means women. Dark men are traditionally seen as evil, so I suppose it shouldn't. That's really racist. So you're saying that higher numbers of rapes occur not because of societal structu…	/r/MensRights	25/06/13 12:10 AM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood Is India one of those empires? No. Unless you can provide some evidence that women control Indian society, then whatever the Ottomans did is totally irrelevant. You actually are the one who originally asserted that men control society because they are in the overt positions of power. Right. I'm saying that unless you can provide proof that women control society despite men having overt power, then your ottoman example is irrelevant. Uhhh... they're not seen as more likely to rape if they don't b…	/r/MensRights	24/06/13 09:03 PM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood This is an assumption based on a faulty premise. Namely that the people in overt positions of authority are the ones who have effective control. There have been slave classes in history that occupied most of the ruling class of an empire, while still being slaves. Is India one of those empires? No. Unless you can provide some evidence that women control Indian society, then whatever the Ottomans did is totally irrelevant. Again, your conclusions do not follow from your premise. Socially marginal…	/r/MensRights	24/06/13 08:34 PM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood That's not the case. The rate of sex crimes against women is the frequency with which they occur. They occur frequently. The justification for this campaign targeting just men is that sex crimes against men are a sufficiently insignificant part of all sex crimes that they can be ignored. Okay, sure, that's an assumption they're making. Yet "patriarchy theory" would have predicted that girls are more likely to be targeted for sex crimes than boys. I never said that. My argument was just that in a…	/r/MensRights	24/06/13 03:39 PM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood Whether or not the rate of sex crimes against women is high is unknown if you don't know the rate against men. That's not the case. The rate of sex crimes against women is the frequency with which they occur. They occur frequently. If a "patriarchal" society can have such a high rate of sexual abuse of boys why is it such a stretch to assume a "patriarchal" society can have a similarly high rate of sexual abuse of adult men? Patriarchy means "rule of the father". Eg, rule of older men. So, no co…	/r/MensRights	24/06/13 06:22 AM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood You don't seem to be getting the point. When a group of people are part of the unworthy victims of rape, their experiences do not show up in media. There are more boys in India being raped than girls according to stats, but they do not exist in the media eye. We would never know about them except for anonymous surveys. The exact same thing could be happening for adult male victims. We won't know until we ask. I take your point. It is possible that men are being raped in equal numbers. It is not …	/r/MensRights	24/06/13 04:38 AM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood We haven't really heard of any Indian boys or girls being raped in the media. Indian girls? Lots of reports in the media. Really? Hadn't heard those reports. I concede that. Again, gang rapes of anyone in public are rare. I wouldn't say they are rare (Aside: I did hear about that on the news, but they told it in that sort of jokey "man-did-he-get-lucky" manner that a lot of male rapes get described in. Made me mad.) We're not seeing an epidemic of Indian boys being raped, yet... there they are, …	/r/MensRights	24/06/13 03:58 AM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood When they look at sexual abuse of Indian boys and youths they find them to be subject to the majority of it. Have you heard of any Indian boys being raped in the media? We haven't really heard of any Indian boys or girls being raped in the media. Child abuse, physical or sexual, is something that needs to be discussed more. I agree. We don't know what they would find if they actually asked adult Indian men because they haven't asked them. You're right, we haven't asked if they have been raped, a…	/r/MensRights	24/06/13 02:27 AM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood And, again, how much is violence against men embedded in the culture? You don't know. You're using a russell's teapot argument. Could it be the case that there's some secret ritual of men throwing themselves onto their wives' funeral pyres? Could it be that secretly it is men whose parents pay women to get rid of them because they're seen as useless? Could it be that wives secretly throw acid on the men when they turn down marriage proposals? Could it be that there are public gang rapes of men o…	/r/MensRights	24/06/13 12:54 AM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood Why do you believe that such a society would have a higher rate of male-on-female sexual violence than the reverse? In that specific society, violence against women is imbedded in the culture and has been for centuries. Just look at the practice of Sati. Additionally, there is evidence to indicate a problem with violence against women (see: the recent string of brutal rapes of women in public areas). This evidence is not conclusive, but it is suggestive. Also if men are to be shamed for the smal…	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 11:46 PM
-1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood Because women are seen as weaker and objectified, and thus the idea that they can rape men (the "stronger" gender) does not make sense in that society.	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 11:31 PM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood I don't agree that public shaming campaigns are emotional violence. So, I don't believe I'm promoting violence against men. We should try to fight to get that reinstated, because feminists are obviously in the wrong there.	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 11:13 PM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood Absolutely. It's true, I don't know, I'm making my best guess at the rate. I am doing this by #1 knowing that the rate of violence against women is high, and #2 there has not been a documented instance that I know of where violence against men is that high. It is, I admit, extrapolation and inference, not solid fact. If the situation was reversed, I absolutely would. Woman-on-man violence is absolutely real and serious. If it happened in high numbers, there absolutely should be a shaming campaig…	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 10:54 PM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood "public" = parks, streets, buses. Public areas. We do know the numbers for other countries for female on male violence, and none of them come close to 70%. For instance, some US surveys put the number as low as 7.6% or as high as 16%. Neither of these are close to 70%.	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 10:15 PM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood People do care. If you believe that a man could get raped in public, and it would not make headlines, then you're wrong. It would be huge news. I agree with you, the fact that young boys in India are victims of sexual abuse is important, but it's not relelvant to the topic of this poster, which is cutting back the number of male-on-female rapes. There are no statistics on male rape in India because not identifying that is a huge cultural problem. So, barring the availability of statistics, we ha…	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 09:56 PM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood This is only indicative of how much the public cares when women are raped. So you can, for instance, point to an example of a man in India being publicly raped, that people just "didn't care about"? EDIT: I agree with your first point, by the way. The fact that Indian government categorizes female-on-male rape as sexual assault and not rape is horrifying and wrong.	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 09:45 PM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood I'm sorry, I really have been trying to find this stat for you. It's just hard, googling any combination of words with rape and india just floods the results with public rapes of women. I don't deny it happens, women can obviously be rapists, but I'm having trouble finding a documented case of it occurring. This is partially because of Indian culture: The idea that men can be raped is still trying to gain mainstream acceptance. Personally, though, I take the overwhelming amount of public rapes o…	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 09:32 PM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood Read the wiki article I linked. Just from there, women are subjected to acid throwing, child marriage, dowry-related violence, female infanticide, sex-selective abortion, and sex trafficking. Man-on-woman domestic violence is widely accepted as okay. Sexual harassment of women in India is so common it even has its own term: "Eve Teasing". Indian men have none of these problems, because society in India is so male-slanted. It's true that I don't have exact numbers to back up my claim, but if you …	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 09:20 PM
-2	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood I'm aware, but at that time they'll be statistically more likely to be abusers, rather than the abused. Being abused as a child is awful, but it's not a free pass to abuse others as an adult.	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 07:29 PM
1	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood Here's what wiki has to say about it. It's the "fourth most dangerous place in the world for women". Are you really saying that you believe that female-on-male sex crimes are equal or greater in proportion than male-on-female ones?	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 07:25 PM
-2	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood You're calling on men. Nowhere does it say boys. I agree that the ad does not acknowledge adult male rape/abuse, but that's because adult sex crimes in India are overwhelmingly committed against women. Were this a poster in a society where men and women were assaulted in equal or near equal numbers, I would agree with you and find it offensive (For instance this campaign in Vancouver goes too far in my opinion), but this is trying to curb the epidemic of female rapes in India. Personally, I woul…	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 06:28 PM
3	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood You can't totally eliminate it, but you can certainly reduce it. Making no attempt to try certainly seems like the worst option.	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 05:48 PM
0	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood The male children in that study are not the ones doing the raping and not the target of the ad. Neither male or female child sexual abuse is talked about to the degree it needs to be, but there's a lot of stigma.	/r/MensRights	23/06/13 05:45 PM
34	Men better not dare to define Womanhood - but of course everyone and their mother should define Manhood Are you kidding me? I can understand your point: If you were to reverse the pronouns and cliches in the second image, I can see how it would be super offensive to women. The true test of your womanhood is how you treat a man. All men. Any man. Every man. If you do not respect a man you are only half of a woman. So, yeah, it could use some reworking.

3	[xMODx] Recent Drama, Reporting and Message to those linked here from viral campaigns It seems like what mhuezzell is saying is that, explicit/implicit semantics aside, "grabbing her hand and putting it onto your cock" is not waiting for any kind of consent. There are a lot of sexy/funny/nonmoodkilling ways to ask for consent, but that does not involve of them. The problem with this approach is that it's too fast, and doesn't give the partner time to A. realize what is happening and B. make a decision about whether she wants to.	/r/seduction	22/06/13 12:07 AM
