| 1 | Battered men braving up to report domestic abuseWhat an awful headline. There are lots of reasons men wouldn't phone police etc to report abuse. But this one is a great way to blame the victim. | /r/MensRights | 19/12/23 01:42 AM |
| 1 | Higher proportion of men than women report online abuse in survey | Social mediaI can imagine men in general shrugging off hatred directed at them. I'll go further and suggest guys generally have a thicker skin due to both biological and cultural reasons. | /r/MensRights | 29/04/22 10:49 PM |
| 5 | Man SLAMMED after saying it's 'unfair' men have to fight war in Ukraine while children women leaveLast I looked it was 1 in about 200,000 women that die giving birth. I'd take those odds compared with a man surviving a war. | /r/MensRights | 01/03/22 08:39 AM |
| 1 | Men are 93% of prisoners and 97% of those executed globally. Should this be considered a men's rights issue?I'd also frame it as a men's health issue. In a world where men aren't experiencing sexism in sentencing etc it is still something society would be wise to focus on to improve the well being its citizens. | /r/MensRights | 04/01/22 05:43 PM |
| 11 | Anyone else tired of hearing this?My country doesn't allow people in prison the vote. These are mostly men. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/01/22 04:20 AM |
| 12 | Men's Aid received 8,000 contacts last year — and 94% of their abusers were womenFamily violence happens across the family. Not just partners. Dads and sons, and then all the other mixee would get support from this service. Looked at it that way, It is a remarkably high figure, implying there are a few men seeking support when the perpetrator is another man, and or that men aren't assaulting each other nearly as much as women are assaulting men. | /r/MensRights | 03/01/22 03:31 AM |
| 13 | The Guardian blames men for Ghislane Maxwell's sex trafficking and tries to excuse her actionsNot informed about this issue, but it looks like you are ignoring the fact that she also raped these girls. | /r/MensRights | 02/01/22 06:49 AM |

| 8 | Male suicide is NOT caused by toxic masculinity (with Studies!)While that may be true, I'd hate someone to walk away just accepting that. Women are much more likely to die of breast cancer than men. Men deserve lots more attention than they get. | /r/MensRights | 31/12/21 07:14 PM |
| 1 | Men invited to job interview though job open only to womenI think women do receive significant benefits in society that men don't, and that would exist without feminism as it has previously. My point was that individual women are harmed if they are convinced to assume to assume a self destructive mindset. Hating another group, while harmful to that group, is harmful we well to the hater. Just try hating something for a while and see how it feels. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/21 11:09 PM |
| 1 | Men invited to job interview though job open only to womenI think the danger of having one side of an issue be highly sensitized to it's grievances is plain ugly. If is good to be informed but at the same time the risk of hate being the outcome is very high. It's important to manage it with that you bring about the right outcome. Having women hurt , angry, resentful toward men is harmful to them as well as men. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/21 07:42 PM |
| 2 | Men invited to job interview though job open only to womenWhen I've pressed a few people defending such a position and got an honest answer, spite was waiting there. Resentment toward men having had it so good for so long, that it is good for them to feel discriminated against. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/21 07:22 PM |
| 2 | Every time I show emotion my wife freaks outSounds like a challenging living situation for you both. You guys might get on fine together if you didn't have so much pressure. Either of you might be more of the problem. I don't see this as much of a gender issue. When people complain about men not sharing their feelings more it is mostly motivated by blaming men for higher suicide rates. You might want to read one of the books about fighting fair. Non violent communication is ok for beginners. Videos on YouTube. Learning conflict engagement… | /r/MensRights | 25/12/21 02:02 AM |
| 1 | Say it with me: kids! Can’t! Consent!Again. I'm old. I suspect it's always been this way, and could even be improving. Does anyone have any data on this question to offer? I've not seen anything that confirms your thought that it has been getting worse but am totally open to bring informed otherwise | /r/MensRights | 21/12/21 02:01 PM |
| 1 | Say it with me: kids! Can’t! Consent!You might be right. I'm old and suspect there has been progress in that regard. I suspect women are less likely to get away with it than they used to be. | /r/MensRights | 21/12/21 01:44 PM |
| 2 | Say it with me: kids! Can’t! Consent!Oh. Yeah, adults shouldn't have sex with 15 year olds. I wasn't doubting that. | /r/MensRights | 21/12/21 01:37 PM |
| 2 | Say it with me: kids! Can’t! Consent!I'm talking about the teen. Are you talking about the teacher? I've worked with male survivors of sexual abuse for many years. There are very similar long term impacts in that situation for girls and boys from that situation. It hits some hard. For others it is just an early learning experience. Does that clarify things? | /r/MensRights | 20/12/21 09:37 PM |
| 2 | Say it with me: kids! Can’t! Consent!Girls and boys both are attracted to teachers. And both are harmed I'm similar ways when that mutual attraction is fulfilled. The original comment in the thread didn't seem aware of this. | /r/MensRights | 20/12/21 09:23 PM |
| 4 | Say it with me: kids! Can’t! Consent!It arguably screws people up more when they get an orgasm from it. | /r/MensRights | 20/12/21 08:59 PM |
| 1 | Say it with me: kids! Can’t! Consent!Girls seem just as likely to be hot on teachers. Both genders have long term negative consequences even when they are enthusiastic recipients of the attention. Edit, I swapped sides to gender. | /r/MensRights | 20/12/21 08:57 PM |
| 3 | How to accurately describe how "toxic masculinity" isn't helped by "acting more feminineI think men don't have the space and culture for tenderness as much as they should. We generally do the playful challenging masculine stuff very well but are still finding a modern voice to care for each other. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/12/21 09:22 AM |
| 3 | "The secret to a long marriage is always saying 'Yes' to your wife."I really doubt anyone is happy if they always gets what they want from their partner. I've had partners that were too compliant and hated it. | /r/MensRights | 19/12/21 05:14 PM |
| 1 | Women are NOT "73% more likely to suffer fatal injuries in a car accident due to safety procedures in cars being designed for men".Facts are certainly cruel. | /r/MensRights | 17/12/21 06:54 PM |
| 2 | Women are NOT "73% more likely to suffer fatal injuries in a car accident due to safety procedures in cars being designed for men".I dunno. The article I saw was saying a thick skull had developed in men likely to survive physical attacks from other men. It was an evolutionary biology article. | /r/MensRights | 17/12/21 06:45 PM |
| 1 | Women are NOT "73% more likely to suffer fatal injuries in a car accident due to safety procedures in cars being designed for men".Women are much more vulnerable to a head injury which I expect is the major cause of death. | /r/MensRights | 17/12/21 06:02 PM |
| 8 | Study: Many global charities refrain from ‘poverty porn’ imagery to raise money from donors, but stereotypes still distort their pictures. The imagery also implies that men in developing countries, who are generally people of color, do not take care of their families.If you mean the men aren't taking care of their families you probably should take a close look at your thinking there. It would probably be accurate to say that men in that situation aren't able to take care of their families. My expectation is that family in such zones is much less the nuclear model current in the west. Men are part of a family and worthy of charitable support as well. | /r/MensRights | 12/12/21 09:23 PM |
| 76 | Texas ‘Teacher of the Year’ engaged in sex acts with student in classroom, affidavit saysLots of girls feel the same way toward their teacher at that age as well. It harms both if it is allowed to happen unfortunately. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/21 09:48 AM |
| 4 | How to lie with statistics, a feminist guide. Study shows Female doctors earned $2 million less than male doctors.I agree. That is pretty fucked up. Breaks the rules for this sub I suspect. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/21 02:29 AM |
| 19 | Women in the Military: How a Handful of Republicans Killed the Female DraftThis attitude toward men existed long before feminism came along. As it stands, neither the left nor the right in America have the best interests of men and boys at heart. Not to pick on America in particular as this is a global phenomena. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/12/21 02:25 AM |
| 1 | Article defending Alice Sebold after she falsely accused a man of ra ping her. He served 16 years. All she had to say was “I’m sorry”.To bad. I expect it would be an interesting project to have that subject exposed. Get into how a person could make a false statement or whatever happened. That has been done previously I think, but not on rape charges that I'm aware of. Oh! There was a film on this in the 50s I think about a black guy. Probably more. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/21 02:21 AM |
| -2 | Sidewalks are now sexist. Top post today on TwoX has poster claiming she will move over for anyone on a sidewalk except for single men. Why, because it’s Friday and it’s men suck day.I don't normally find that sub too offensive and like reading what many women are thinking without the filter. I was appalled at some of the comments on this one. It would sure be interesting to get some research either way on this issue. Just take a video from a high building and measure position change based on the head and shoulders. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/21 12:30 AM |
| 1 | Article defending Alice Sebold after she falsely accused a man of ra ping her. He served 16 years. All she had to say was “I’m sorry”.Damn. Hopefully the movie includes this latest stage. Having said that, I expect any movie producer would have her as the hero overcoming challenges. The last thing they would want to do is point out that an innocent man went to prison with her false testimony. not very heroic. This kind of thing wrecks my day. But thanks for clarifying. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/21 12:02 AM |
| 1 | Article defending Alice Sebold after she falsely accused a man of ra ping her. He served 16 years. All she had to say was “I’m sorry”.Wait. This isn't clear to me. She wrote a book about the experience and he used that to get out of jail? | /r/MensRights | 10/12/21 04:18 AM |
| 2 | A Reddit post about FGM being practiced today gets garners Platform-wide outrage about how FGM is inhuman, so why is it that MGM is still being widely practiced to this day and none of those people find it wrong?Little Chinese feet, the way they used to do them. Very feminine! | /r/MensRights | 07/12/21 09:23 AM |
| 3 | A Reddit post about FGM being practiced today gets garners Platform-wide outrage about how FGM is inhuman, so why is it that MGM is still being widely practiced to this day and none of those people find it wrong?Yeah. We weren't very close. I don't hold a grudge about it but definitely don't want to hang out with her for that and other similar reasons. | /r/MensRights | 07/12/21 05:31 AM |
| 7 | A Reddit post about FGM being practiced today gets garners Platform-wide outrage about how FGM is inhuman, so why is it that MGM is still being widely practiced to this day and none of those people find it wrong?I told a feminist friend that I'm angry that someone cut off the end of my penis when I was a baby. She was confused by my saying that, clarified I meant my circumcision, and responded by saying "but I like them that way". Topic changed immediately and I was left in shock the rest of the evening. | /r/MensRights | 07/12/21 12:01 AM |

| 14 | Have we excluded women in research?Remarkable. I'm stunned by the gender difference in the data at the top. Something seems strange about it too me though. My wife used to work in a medical research group and it was almost wholly men they did tests on. She wasnt sure why that was but speculated that it was hard to get women to volunteer for the role as it involved possible risk. Usually they were testing medications. And I've seen any number of discussions about how it is less common to include women in drug trials. Are you sayin… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/12/21 06:32 PM |

| 36 | Is anyone else getting kind of tired of “men can cry too”?I see someone saying that as being just ignorant. Let them eat cake! Let men cry, then that would fix them! It continues that hyper agency expectation of men. Any problem men have is something they have to overcome themselves. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/11/21 09:41 AM |

| 3 | School told me they would make a presentation about men's issues. Instead they talk almost entirely about women's issues while painting us in a bad light.Thanks for both initiating this and then challenging the outcome. You will make a lot of people think and may have done a world of good. Happy imd! | /r/MensRights | 18/11/21 05:11 PM |
| 13 | Feminists invite males to compete against their female teams. Blame men for the result...Oh. So many outrage posts are like this. Simplify the description of a situation, group people together as a single unit when they aren't, then point out their lack of consistency. Repeat. | /r/MensRights | 15/11/21 02:04 AM |

| 1 | How come we don't advocate for more men to work in female-dominated fields?As far as I can tell it is still effective for women. I guess we would have to get into specific data to talk that thru. | /r/MensRights | 05/11/21 09:34 AM |
| 3 | How come we don't advocate for more men to work in female-dominated fields?That's a false dichotomy. I'm a bit old to start a new career. Though I did watch a young man confront this choice recently. He loves kids and knows it. His mother encouraged him to become a teacher in light of this but he chose construction. When I spoke to him about it, it sounded like he just didn't get a warmup from others to pursue a career that would be more fulfilling for him. When I read the comments of others on this sub they don't seem to be aware that stereotype fulfillment happens fo… | /r/MensRights | 04/11/21 11:25 PM |
| 7 | How come we don't advocate for more men to work in female-dominated fields?I think we are still in the consciousness raising zone for men's issues. Hopefully we get behind that some day. One problem is that there aren't a lot of advocates yet. And that when it is done society doesn't get it. It isn't unusual to see an article in the popular press about the lack of men in teaching, for example. They generally focus on the loss for the kids. I don't remember any of them being concerned about men missing out. | /r/MensRights | 04/11/21 05:52 PM |

| 2 | Belgium: An incel facing exceptionnal trial by jury for hatespeechCould be a further case of projection. What would a woman saying these types of things be willing to do to men? Then amplify and project that onto a man saying it. Doesn't seem a strong argument to me but I'll leave it there. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/10/21 08:22 PM |
| 2 | Is there anyway we could just focus on issues and not say anything about feminism?I doubt what you want can be created on a sub like this. Even if there were only 10% of the current references to feminism on this sub it would be seen in the same light. I see this space as a highly effective way to learn about men's issues as it currently is. I don't know of anywhere better. I get the facts as well as the real stories of men. So useful. I think that gynocentrism as well as misandry are the main issues for us to overcome as a society. Caring and affection for men is very much m… | /r/MensRights | 07/10/21 05:11 PM |
| 7 | Is there anyway we could just focus on issues and not say anything about feminism?So true. Imagine any other group having a term like that used toward it. It demonstrates a callousness hatred and disrespect toward men. It is used by researchers, which lends it credibility. | /r/MensRights | 07/10/21 05:01 PM |
| 18 | Apparently we're not allowed to stand around in group anymore?I guess this is one example of male spaces being threats. Imagine hanging out on the street, talking to some bros on a Saturday night, and having to worry that just doing this will have some people thinking you are planning a group rape. | /r/MensRights | 27/09/21 05:27 PM |

| 4 | Welcome to Brazil, where sexist laws are passedYou're telling us that feminism is driving this behavior in Brazil of all places? That is the op.

| 5 | Sick Of MeToo And Time's UpWe should be focusing on male suicide, homelessness, unemployment and education. These issues are, in my opinion, much more important to the well-being of men as a whole. I've run a support services for male survivors of sexual abuse.

Yeah, it does sound weird but not malicious or creepy. For all we know, she had a bladder infection or significant bowel issues or a tummy bug. Yes, she might have just been an entitled Karen.

I frequently advocated for men to receive domestic violence victims services at various levels inside the police and government. I ran into a few people that would fill the feminist stereotype in that time but not that often. It was plain sexism against men that seemed the most common thread to me, backed up by gynocentrism.

| 7 | Masculinity may have a protective effect against the development of depression — even for womenThe Psychology Podcast had a scientist on it a few months ago talking about gender and compassion. She said by the measure they use, men have slightly more self compassion than women. My guess is that those that lack this are the men killing themselves. The compassion is generally not coming from society and others. Be sure to participate in International Men's Day this year. Send men you know love around that time.

I did this when my son experienced sexism and they were willing to pressure a complaint with me if my son was asking to do so. He would have had to in some way demonstrate harm done to him.

| 3 | A common response to males committing suicide 3x times as often as women is “That’s because men choose more violent & lethal methods”, with misandrist implications that it’s a result of men being inherently violent. In reality, studies show that even using the same less-lethal methods, men die more.Yes. And while population data such as the Otago Longitudinal Study show that it generally isn't as upsetting or dangerous for men, I expect in the end more men kill themselves as an outcome of victimisation than women. That is partly due to the higher suicide rate overall indicating just higher likelihood of harm. It is also partly due to what happens to male victims of dv when those care and justice systems are engaged. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/08/21 03:27 AM |

The outrageous engagement by men at our service has taught me that men largely haven't been cared for previously. Hyperagency explains so much. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/03/21 11:03 PM |

| 1 | Triggered todayI took the attitude offered by a friend that in this situation she is extremely powerful compared to you. She is a bear. In that case, one option is to play dead. Play dead means not fighting for the kids. Eventually most mothers come around and starts wanting you to have them more. In my case, she was amazing as a partner but a good enough mother. I went with what she wanted, having my daughter on the weekend. I was burned out as well so it have me time to recover. | /r/MensRights | 28/12/20 06:53 PM |

Please help me with advice on my extremist partner.If she doesn't know what you think and you feel, she doesn't know you. If she doesn't know you, she doesn't love you. You are both just pretending. Time to be bold. It could be she can't love you as you are. That is tragic since you are pair bonded with each other, but that is part of life and growing up. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/12/20 12:33 AM |

| 5 | Why are there no studies on Single father Households?Researchers do have a hard time getting to men. That is partly because there aren't social services for men. I run a social service for men and have found appropriate men for many researchers.

Women have people inside the system advocating for them which leads to consideration of their special needs. I wish men had the same. We would all be better off of this were the case. I expect the counter argument by some would be that men already get a bonus in being men living in a patriarchy.

| 1 | It's International Men's Day, so tell me what you like about men, or tell me what you like about a man you know.I suspect the teasing serves the function of testing someone's emotional state. If they respond with indifference it is a strong signal that something is wrong. And even a lack of a creative response when someone normally would be if a signal of where they are at. That pattern is obvious in my mates and I. Works with my son as well. If he comes home and my gentle wrestle with him brings indifference the is usually something up. And we talk about it as a result. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/20 05:17 PM |

But you make the mistake that most people do. When men have a problem we almost wholly blame it on their internal world. I think you did that.

| 1 | Do men not require more support? (genuine question)One thing I learned from an mra in my region is you probably need permission from the gatekeepers of services for women to create government contracts for a men's service.

I had a friend who you would describe as feminist and very prowomen look at this sub to give me examples of misogyny. He pointed out that the steady stream of examples of bad behavior by women is the main issue. That and the generalisations often made in discussion here. I agreed with him to some degree. I expect I'm in the minority here but I'll go on and explain. I think women and women's advocates do need to come down a peg or two in the assumptions society holds.

| 4 | CMV: Equal child custody for mothers and fathers is not taken seriously enough. It should be considered a basic civil rights issue and supported on the basis of gender equality.I skimmed what you wrote. Marvelous. Thanks for compiling this. I suspect you didn't mention the benefit for the mother and the father. Both benefit from the assumption of shared care. Also, families are more stable in the case of assumed shared parenting. It means that mother's are less likely to initiate a divorce, with them typically being the ones to do this. I suspect there are fewer cases of single mom births as well but that is wholly a supposition. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/09/20 07:02 PM |

I've been with women that were the opposite in that regard and it made it awfully hard to not occasionally lean on them unfairly.

It just happens to be that in this society it's often male issues that are the ones being perpetuated.

I then put the word out via my email list to 1200 health and community workers, asking that they also make a complaint. No one stepped forward to do this. I had lots of brief emails of support.

The example given of women having 55 percent of the top jobs in a company would have a lot more women being promoted than men.

Has extended support during the Covid-19 crisis to only a select few victims - being women & children.I watched the same thing unfold after the Christchurch shootings a year ago. 52 people shot, vast majority of them men. Majority of migrant Muslims are men. The government response was to ensure that the families of those directly affected were cared for, asking with special recognition of the women generally not being able to get out and make a living. I'm very supportive of that happening for the families, and expect that is normal among us. But no focus was put on the Men as a gender. I've he… | /r/MensRights | 09/04/20 12:10 AM |

| 3 | To fight climate change we should do something about "conspicuous consumption", buying stuff we don't need just to show off. But we won't because it's women who do it much more than men? Instead, we'll concentrate on things men do more, like driving cars.Women decide most of the larger decisions involving housing as well. House size and features. And redecorating. And new carpet and drapes. I guess I should have sources for those claims and didn't bother this time.

| 3 | Professor forwarded students’ charges of sexual misconduct to his school’s administration. The students then accused him of looking the other way and intimidating them. He killed himself.I've had to deal with a false claim against me recently. It's incredibly challenging if done in a private context. Done on a highly public one, with peers and strangers directly condemning you, it would be even more challenging.

| 6 | Professor forwarded students’ charges of sexual misconduct to his school’s administration. The students then accused him of looking the other way and intimidating them. He killed himself.Wow. What a tragic tale. The poor guy looks like he did what he was told to do, following the process. He himself was never of concern as a claimed perpetrator. And got grilled in the eye of public opinion. I guess that always happens when you take on a leadership role. But when sexual assault claims are in the picture, that burden can be incredible. Anyone letting a group has to be aware of how swiftly something like this can happen. | /r/MensRights | 11/01/20 08:23 PM |

I've advocated for the last decade for men to also receive support when they are victims of dv. I've never seen anything being done for or against men having care in that context by a group that could be said to be feminist. But the system, even our small one, is much more complex than that. I commissioned the only research into male victims of dv in our country then circulated it thru our networks. The national website about domestic violenc… | /r/MensRights | 11/01/20 12:37 AM |

Are men actually intimidated by women who earn more than them, or do women just have a hard time dating down?I wonder if a woman would bring up the issue of earning more than him during conflicts as a point of resentment.

If so, those men could think of it as another way that patriarchy hurts men. 😀 I was sympathetic to feminism for a number of years as a young man, assuming it really was about gender equality. I never went full hog, but a few friends did. Anyway, putting it down wholly to trying to get laid is very dismissive of those doing the wrong thing for the right reasons.

We definitely aren't seeing men right after it happened which is one aspect to the selection bias. It could be shame is a dominant emotion at that time. It could be the men themselves would say they feel or felt shame if I asked. I generally don't go into the feelings aspect, though am supportive.
