| -3 | GF is pregnant and wants it. I do not. I am considering leaving the US. (x-post from /r/offmychest)As an alternative to the "Hail Mary" someone else suggested that involves lying to your girlfriend and generally being a scumbag, I recommend you ask her what she would do if she had to choose between having the baby and having you in her life. You guys have been together a long time so she might not want to throw that all away. | /r/MensRights | 15/08/14 02:47 AM |

| 0 | I noticed something interesting in my health insurance policy about birth control coverage...I get what you're saying, but might not be cheaper for them if he's impregnating women who have insurance with different companies. Sterilizing a woman that they cover guarantees that they won't be paying for childbirth. With men it's a little more ambiguous. | /r/MensRights | 06/11/13 08:58 PM |
| 4 | I noticed something interesting in my health insurance policy about birth control coverage...I'm guessing that it's cheaper to pay for a woman to be sterilized once than for any number of childbirths, so it's in the insurance company's best interest to incentivize tubal ligation. I don't have any resources to back that up though. Edit: That's just a feeling though, I don't have anything to support it and I don't think it's morally acceptable. | /r/MensRights | 06/11/13 03:59 PM |
| 1 | Are there any women MRAs still here? The female based MRA subs are all dead quiet - can they be revived?It means you could still encounter a good orange, but if you've had really bad experiences I can see how you still wouldn't care about that. It's just frustrating sometimes because I see a lot of generalizations that aren't true for me personally, and it feels like I'm assumed to be something I'm not just because I'm a woman. (I realize that feeling is very common among men, with the various horrible generalizations that are applied to them.) | /r/MensRights | 23/09/13 11:14 PM |
| 1 | Are there any women MRAs still here? The female based MRA subs are all dead quiet - can they be revived?I would consider "all oranges are bad" to still be a generalization because it leaves no room for the possibility of good oranges. If they were to quantify the statement and instead say "in my experience, all oranges are bad," it allows for good oranges to possibly exist outside of their experience. You could definitely argue that the "in my experience" bit is implied in a lot of posts, but it's not true for all. Does that answer your question? I completely believe that generalizations reflect t… | /r/MensRights | 23/09/13 07:24 PM |

The female based MRA subs are all dead quiet - can they be revived?There's a self-post by a female MRA apologizing on behalf of the entire gender at least once a week, so I'm going to guess there are a number still here. The issue I feel most strongly about is circumcision. I recognize the inequality in reproductive rights, but I haven't seen any potential solutions that I'm completely comfortable with...

I'm from the area and have a lot of friends who go there... most of them are straight, white, upper-middle class, and male. I don't know why you were rejected, but it probably wasn't because you lack diversity. | /r/MensRights | 26/08/13 06:25 AM |

| 1 | American women hate the fact that I married a Filipina.I'm glad you're happy! Your wife sounds wonderful, and it seems like you have a great relationship. However, I don't think it's really fair to say that all American women are the way you describe... I fully believe that's been your experience, but I know plenty of women who don't deserve to be thrown in with that lot. | /r/MensRights | 22/08/13 02:37 AM |

| 19 | American women hate the fact that I married a Filipina.Noticed that I'd lost all interested in American women because of the way they behave when compared to Filipina women. Obviously this is a sweeping generalization, but I'm curious. In what ways do you find them different? | /r/MensRights | 20/08/13 09:30 PM |
| 1 | Just more feminism double standardsAren't you the one who said that "power" means different things for different people? Just because you keep saying that power for a girl is being pretty doesn't make it true. I'm saying that that's the idea of "power" that is promoted by Barbie. As in by Mattel. As in not by individual women. I'm a woman myself, and I certainly don't get my sense of power from my physical appearance. If you understood power you would know that in real life power is usually derived from more substantial qualities… | /r/MensRights | 05/08/13 12:28 AM |
| 1 | Just more feminism double standardsTo be blunt: I think the idea of Barbie as a "power" symbol has to do with the idea that "power" for a girl is being pretty so that you can get what you want (which is not a message that I agree with). It has nothing to do with health. I agree with what you're saying about it being physically unattainable and an awful message to push on little girls. I don't really understand what point you're trying to make about what I said. Do you think I'm trying to justify Barbie's proportions or something? | /r/MensRights | 04/08/13 11:40 PM |
| 1 | Just more feminism double standardsHowever i'd like to suggest the possibility that power means different things to different people regardless of their gender. I agree completely! I was talking more from the view of a marketing agency that has to appeal to as many people as possible. Unfortunately, large corporations can't really market to individuals. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/13 06:32 PM |
| 3 | Just more feminism double standardsI think Broccoli_Tesla is suggesting that "power" means something different to each gender, and that women get theirs from being physically attractive rather than strong. Or at least that's the idea that Barbie promotes. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/13 07:09 AM |
| 1 | Today's young women think they're victims... Do stop whining, sisters. We've WON the sex warBut women are told to take self defense classes, always go out with a friend, and not accept drinks from strangers. The difference is that these aren't slapped on posters under a "DON'T GET RAPED" headline--and I think that's a good thing. People on this sub complain that women view all men as potential predators, and posters like that would kind of encourage that behavior. | /r/MensRights | 01/08/13 01:21 AM |

| 1 | Found this in r/WTF but thought it'd be better suited here. 63 year old man denied access to Legoland because apparently all men are presumed to be pedophiles.I don't really buy that Lego is an exclusively male hobby for adults. That's a pretty big assumption, and there are plenty of stories about adult women being turned away as well. | /r/MensRights | 10/07/13 01:28 PM |

| 0 | Airline stops employing male flight attendants to save moneyI think height restrictions make sense... you want flight attendants to be able to reach the overhead bins and still be able to maneuver about the cabin easily. I just don't get why they're not the same for both genders. | /r/MensRights | 02/07/13 03:44 AM |
| 0 | Airline stops employing male flight attendants to save moneyYou literally had to be 5'10" or more or they wouldn't hire you. Most airlines now have limits on how tall flight attendants of both genders can be. I think women can't be taller than 5'8". | /r/MensRights | 02/07/13 03:30 AM |

I'm fairly confident that by "risk themselves" he/she meant "risk their own lives." Revan_Deschain then said: Female cops, firefighters, and soldiers are a thing. Which you directly responded to with: Part of their job, that's what they get paid to do. Which implies that the fact that they risk their lives is less significant because it's thei… | /r/MensRights | 14/03/13 06:42 AM |
| 1 | Video games and feminismI know the context of the conversation. Your response made it seem like the risk involved was less legitimate because it's their job. If someone said that the deaths of male firefighters, cops, and soldiers are less significant because it's "part of their job, what they get paid to do," people would be pissed. I know I would be. | /r/MensRights | 14/03/13 06:06 AM |
| 1 | Video games and feminismPart of their job, that's what they get paid to do. There would be complete outrage if someone said that in response to the statistic about male workplace deaths. I don't understand why it's acceptable to say in this context. | /r/MensRights | 14/03/13 05:06 AM |
| 2 | Men in gamingThe survey that these stats are based on says 60% of females play on mobile devices; that still makes ~24-28% of the kind of gamers we're talking about female. Other surveys say that 25% of console players and 39% of PC players are female. You still haven't included a source. The reason I asked in the first place was because 5% sounds like the kind of number that would be suggested as a "reasonable estimate," when in fact the real percentage (though debatable) is definitely much higher. | /r/MensRights | 02/03/13 04:40 AM |
| 4 | Men in gamingAlso consider that like 90% or higher of the playerbase is men... I'm not trying to be a dick, but do you have a source for that? The only statistic I can find suggests that around ~40% of gamers are female. (Source) | /r/MensRights | 01/03/13 06:44 PM |

I'm not saying anything at all about this particular case, much less that he's guilty (in fact I specifically gave an example where "evidence" could support a false allegation).

| 1 | Did I rape her?I appreciate your analogy, but I don't think the situations are comparable. What would a reasonable amount of time be, in your opinion? | /r/MensRights | 30/08/12 01:41 AM |
| 1 | Did I rape her?Nice edit. Edit: He said he posts whatever he thinks will get him the most karma. | /r/MensRights | 30/08/12 12:10 AM |
| 3 | Did I rape her?Do you think women shouldn't be allowed to withdraw consent? | /r/MensRights | 29/08/12 11:44 PM |
| 1 | Girlfriend hounding me on "male privilege". Does this really hold any water?How can you know that though? I'm not disagreeing outright, but I can't see a way to reach that conclusion without a lot of assumptions. | /r/MensRights | 29/08/12 02:41 AM |
| 1 | Girlfriend hounding me on "male privilege". Does this really hold any water?I was told that the difference was because men are more likely to choose a violent and guaranteed way to commit suicide (jumping off of buildings, gunshots to the head), and women tend to choose less violent and less reliable methods (cutting, overdose, carbon monoxide poisoning) because they're concerned with preserving their bodies. | /r/MensRights | 29/08/12 01:00 AM |
| 1 | Girlfriend hounding me on "male privilege". Does this really hold any water?From the second link: I have a much lower chance of being driven to successfully commit suicide than a man. This is true, but it rubbed me the wrong way. The way it's worded is invalidating, like people who survive suicide attempts just weren't driven enough. | /r/MensRights | 28/08/12 10:21 PM |
| 1 | Town in Germany Designates Harder-to-Get-Into Parking Spaces for MenDon't forget the fact that men drive more than women on average. Source? I can't find anything that says that. | /r/MensRights | 11/07/12 04:59 PM |
| 2 | I just saw a commercial for the Olympics claiming that, "behind every athlete is a loving mom." Not any sort of father figure. Only a mom. The fuck?That's not the media so much as marketing. If the majority of consumers who buy Tide laundry detergent are middle aged women, that's who they're going to cater to in their advertising. A lot of lawn mower advertisement campaigns are aimed at men. Do women still mow the lawn? Yes, but they're not the primary demographic. To call for equal representation in advertising is a little ridiculous. The "bumbling dad" character is harmful; an ad campaign aimed at mothers is not. | /r/MensRights | 11/07/12 04:40 PM |

| 2 | Top 10 Lies Men Tell Women... Anyone else get angry reading this?Despite the fact that it was obviously a hyperbolic statement, there are a ton of legitimate reasons for not wanting to have sex. I can't imagine someone withholding sex to spite their partner when they would otherwise be in the mood. For example, no one thinks "Damn, I really want to jump his bones right now, but he said something that made me feel bad about myself so I better teach him a lesson." Generally they wouldn't want to have sex because they feel self conscious or undesirable, and they… | /r/MensRights | 02/07/12 11:01 PM |
| 6 | my son had his first run in with sexism, i thought this would't happen until he was older:(I'm pretty sure it stems from the idea of stay at home moms. You know, barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and all that. It has nothing to do with careers. | /r/MensRights | 29/06/12 06:46 PM |
| 1 | Blatantly misogynist? I don't think so... (Feminist "friend" accuses me of sexism and unfriends me) What do you think?I'm not saying you would be offended. But it is insulting to have someone read something you wrote, form an opinion about you, find out you're not of the gender they assumed, and then think less of you. If that happened you might give a shit (assuming you still have shits to give). I'm not talking about people who start posts like "As a _____, I feel..." like their opinion is superior. I'm just talking about women on the internet acknowledging that they're women. | /r/MensRights | 21/06/12 03:25 AM |
| 3 | Blatantly misogynist? I don't think so... (Feminist "friend" accuses me of sexism and unfriends me) What do you think?It's a little insulting to have it assumed that you're a guy, and then when you make your actual gender known people think less of you. There's nothing wrong with wanting your gender represented accurately. If someone replied to one of your posts and assumed you were a girl, would you feel no desire to correct them? | /r/MensRights | 20/06/12 11:40 PM |
| 0 | My College surprised me today.Would you rather assume someone's into it and face possible rape accusations afterwards, or ask and risk ruining the moment? | /r/MensRights | 20/06/12 10:52 PM |
| 2 | How (some) feminist educators use their position to push their agenda.I always use "they" in speech and informal writing, but since it's traditionally a plural pronoun it can be tricky to use in academic writing. A lot of professors (in my experience) will mark off for it because it's technically a grammatical error. | /r/MensRights | 19/06/12 01:35 PM |
| 2 | How (some) feminist educators use their position to push their agenda."They" is a plural pronoun. Colloquially it can be used as a singular, but it's technically wrong and therefore isn't used in academic writing. | /r/MensRights | 19/06/12 06:04 AM |
| 3 | How (some) feminist educators use their position to push their agenda.The "inclusive language" remark meant the professor wanted gender neutral pronouns. Typically people are taught to use masculine pronouns. For example: Conservative: "The reader comes to his own conclusion." Inclusive: "The reader comes to his or her own conclusion." I've actually had a professor who told the class if anyone used inclusive language he'd mark it down, because it felt "clunky and superfluous." It goes both ways. | /r/MensRights | 19/06/12 05:54 AM |
| 2 | Just can't do it today.I would go even further and wager that most women who self-identify as feminists don't hold radical beliefs. Some do, but most just consider themselves to be in favor of women's rights. | /r/MensRights | 13/06/12 05:52 AM |
| 1 | This is the notice I got when I applied for financial aid (California).How exactly is that relevant to my post? I used a hypothetical situation to make a point; women are legally eligible for the death penalty. And again, someone who is against the death penalty isn't going to be like "Know what we should do? Kill more women. You know, just to make it fair." I'm not saying the issue isn't important. It just isn't relevant to what I wrote. | /r/MensRights | 08/06/12 12:30 AM |
| 1 | This is the notice I got when I applied for financial aid (California).Both are horrible. I didn't say it was justified, or that I agreed with it. Actually, I thought I made it apparent with my death penalty analogy that I think the draft should be abolished. I don't even know what you're trying to argue with me about. | /r/MensRights | 07/06/12 06:41 AM |
| 1 | This is the notice I got when I applied for financial aid (California).I read your response as two separate thoughts. I'm guessing you meant to suggest that the latter is an additional purpose of the draft? If so, my bad. That being said, you don't enslave people for no reason. That in and of itself can't be the purpose because there's no inherent objective; it's a means, not a goal. | /r/MensRights | 07/06/12 06:23 AM |
| 1 | This is the notice I got when I applied for financial aid (California).The constitutionality of excluding women was decided in 1981 by the United States Supreme Court in Rostker v. Goldberg, with the Court holding that registering only men did not violate the due process clause of the Constitution. "The existence of the combat restrictions clearly indicates the basis for Congress' decision to exempt women from registration. The purpose of registration was to prepare for a draft of combat troops. Since women are excluded from combat, Congress concluded that they wou… | /r/MensRights | 07/06/12 05:40 AM |
| 2 | Engaging with feministsNo. Priority should be given to children, but gender shouldn't come into play. Yes, statutory rapes committed by women should have consequences matching the severity of those met by men. I am in favor of Romeo and Juliet laws that benefit both sexes. (not numbered) Yes, if you can prove intent to deceive. No one who is raped should have to pay maintenance or child support. The exception to this is if both parties are teenagers (a Romeo and Juliet law situation) because one cannot be held more cu… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/12 07:39 PM |
| 1 | "as males enter female-dominated occupations, sexism and gender privilege follow"Ah. Your post made it seem like you thought it was stupid of her to come to that conclusion because few men were in her nursing classes on account of it being a predominantly female profession. I agree that it was an illogical conclusion anyway, as is anything else drawn from anecdotal evidence. | /r/MensRights | 06/06/12 06:55 PM |
| 1 | "as males enter female-dominated occupations, sexism and gender privilege follow"When I was doing my prerequisites for nursing school, I noticed how few males there were enrolled in any classes. OH well fewer males were in nursing classes, so clearly males in general don't prioritize education. Prerequisites for nursing school are not nursing school classes. General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, and Microbiology are all prerequisites, for example. Edited for quote formatting. | /r/MensRights | 06/06/12 06:26 PM |
| 8 | This is the notice I got when I applied for financial aid (California).Let's say only men were legally able to receive the death penalty. If you don't agree with the death penalty, you aren't going to fight to expand it. You'll want to get rid of it entirely. That being said, women are exempted from the draft because the military doesn't allow them to be in combat troops (what the draft is/was for), and there IS outrage at that. | /r/MensRights | 06/06/12 06:16 PM |
| 3 | Helen Benedict claims 30% of women who fight wars are rapes by male soliders. Author uses the well worn feminist mantra that men are bad and women are victims with made up stats to sell something.They don't. That standard is set by the military. | /r/MensRights | 05/06/12 09:43 PM |
| 3 | Helen Benedict claims 30% of women who fight wars are rapes by male soliders. Author uses the well worn feminist mantra that men are bad and women are victims with made up stats to sell something.I'm sorry, but it must be really difficult having to be less fit and held to a de facto lower disciplinary standard all while getting the same pay. Right. How dare they even try to serve their country. | /r/MensRights | 05/06/12 09:06 PM |
| 1 | Well, I won't be buying this anymoreShow me a beer marketed at men that says "for the times when your nagging wife just won't shut up..." Is commercial subtext admissible? If so... all of them. Edit: I find this kind of marketing annoying, regardless of which gender it disparages. | /r/MensRights | 05/06/12 07:11 PM |
| 8 | Why don't shelters and social workers require proof?The closest thing to a threat would be that I said I wished she would kill herself... You expressed a desire for her to be dead in a heated argument, which could easily be interpreted as a threat. You'd think that would be considered a show of restraint when you find out for the first time that your wife is lying and cheating. No, I wouldn't. Your description of what she does when she's angry is horrible, and while your actions pale in comparison, it doesn't make them justifiable. Being better t… | /r/MensRights | 05/06/12 06:23 PM |

| 2 | Can we talk about "slut-shaming" for a minute?I am a white person, and I would laugh my ass off if someone called me a cracker. I just can't see a guy being offended at being called a manwhore. That being said, I'm sure it does happen. | /r/MensRights | 05/06/12 08:39 AM |
| 3 | Can we talk about "slut-shaming" for a minute?That seems kind of like the equivalent of calling a white person a cracker. | /r/MensRights | 05/06/12 08:00 AM |
