| 5 | Married female middle school teacher, 27, is arrested for having sex with a 17-year-old boy in his car and at a community center, and sharing nude photos of each otherI'm not sure I get this one. He is 17 and not her student, so she isn't in a direct position of authority over him. Is the legal age of consent in this area 18 or something? Or is this because she was involved in that club? | /r/MensRights | 24/03/18 05:16 AM |
| 10 | A common narrativeCampus feminists are very vocal about how evil men are. There's probably a couple of things going on there. The first is that campus feminists (as with most young students) tend to be gormless children who haven't yet mastered the brain-to-mouth filter. So they just say what they think and often that's pretty awful stuff. The other is that they are in an environment ("safe space" as it were) where the official political line agrees with them and there aren't any consequences for their behaviour.… | /r/MensRights | 24/03/18 03:32 AM |
| 3 | Michael Kimmel: Masculinity, Not Ideology, Drives Violent ExtremismKimmel does a good job laying out the events that lead men to violence, and the trajectory seems standard. They are people who have endured humbling setbacks: lost jobs, difficulty in school, family issues. Kimmel makes the case that rather than look inside themselves for the source of this misfortune, these men find fault with the system, or immigrants, or unseen outside forces conspiring to keep them down. Yeah, it's definitely not the conditions they find themselves in. It's definitely not br… | /r/MensRights | 23/03/18 07:02 AM |

I couldn't finish the book and had to be very 'diplomatic' to my friend about why when I gave it back because he was so invested I had the horrible feeling his reaction would be like the time I handed back my feminist friend's copy of Gender Trouble and told her I thought it wa… | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 08:51 AM |

But you've been calling that "Patriarchy" and "sexism" and have been complaining about it for 150 years. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 03:34 AM |
| 3 | Students Say Diversity Is More Important Than Free SpeechPresumably they wouldn't be so keen if/when the culture were to shift in such a way that those in power were less keen on diversity and used the rules the pro-diversity crowd instituted to suppress speech for their own purposes. A lot of people on what passes for "the left" (and I say this as a lefty) don't seem to understand that if you want authority to have - or worse, actually demand authority be given - the power to suppress something as fundamental to any kind of democratic society as free… | /r/MensRights | 13/03/18 03:58 AM |

| 20 | It's a pity female abuse isn't treated the same way by society as it is when men do it…This reminds me of one of my most vivid memories from my teenage years. It was when I first realised just what people actually meant when they talked about men being "stronger" than women. Up until then, I guess I didn't really believe it. This girl and I had been friends forever pretty much - she was a tomboy when we were little and we used to roughhouse a lot and she probably got the better of me more often than I did her. We stayed friends into puberty and she went from tomboy to punk-anarchi… | /r/MensRights | 06/03/18 07:22 AM |
| 2 | New sentencing guidelines discourage jail time for women offenderswomen and minorities This is one of those sneaky little tactics that you start seeing everywhere when you recognise it. It's the political equivalent of women-and-children. You take some group or category which is actually marginalised, actually vulnerable, actually faces discrimination and disadvtange and then you, without fail, mention women in the same breath with it to associate the two.

Victims of abuse men/women - 23% / 19%; women more likely to be perpetrators 28.3% vs. 21.6%.Lifetime rates higher among women than men Past year rates somewhat higher among men This is something that seems consistent every time new research comes out in this space or in sexual assault. Would anyone care to speculate on why this is? Is it a result of changing society that men are simply receiving (and/or reporting) more abuse in recent years than previously? Or is it down to a difference in the way men continue to report as the event moves further into the past? ie. Do women remember/dw… | /r/MensRights | 05/03/18 04:13 AM |

| 12 | Feminists do not seek "equality of outcome", they seek female supremacyYou know, if they were serious about redressing past ills via skewing things today to make up for what happened in centuries past and achieve some kind of cosmic balance - well, it would still be bullshit but at least I could envision some ways to work with that. Like, for instance, all those hundreds and thousands of years where lower-class men were effectively enslaved and pressed into service in the military as cannon fodder.

As far as I can tell, no specific men were named or accused and no men were arrested and held by police as a result (correct me if I'm wrong). It sounds like she wasted a bunch of public resources and police time that could have been better spent elsewhere and caused a media fuss that everyone could have done without, but no individual was re… | /r/MensRights | 01/03/18 03:40 AM |

Feminists are the butt of a lot of jokes and there is a simmering hostility that seems to flare up from time to time, especially when some female celeb makes remarks about gay men not "doing their part" for women, like Rose McGowan did a couple of years back.

| 153 | Two women murder young male "because it was something they'd always wanted to try doing". As usual, news reports keep it off the front page, and bury it in sub sections. Imagine the reporting if the genders were reversed?This actually happened in my city and it has been headline news on local TV, print and radio every time some new development came up (for instance, when one of the killers in remand at the women's prison awaiting trial was hospitalised after another prisoner threw boiling water over her - I'm gonna guess she is not going to have a fun time in gaol).

When I started out it was great - aware of and focussed on what we were working to achieve and who we were working to achieve it for.

Girlfriend who is the abuser and forcefully touches his genitals repeatedly, gets assault charge but no sexual charge.The difference is that, even though neither is now likely to spend any time behind bars (unless they fuck up), he now has a sex offense conviction on his record and she does not. This may have longer term consequences for him that she will not have to face, despite their actions being basically equivalent.

Unless you have some novel data, the problems with this stat have been discussed on this sub and elsewhere a bunch of times, but the long and short of it is that we don't actually know what the suicide attempt rate is for either sex.

Sure, some of those guys are actual misogynists but... who cares? The entire premise of mgtow is men minimizing or eliminating risky entanglements and interactions with women, isn't it? So why would their personal feelings even matter if they're going to be keeping away from women anyway? | /r/MensRights | 20/02/18 06:05 AM |

So much for gender equality.This is basically true in my experience. Being a gay dude that used to affect an effeminate persona when I was younger, I've been "one of the girls" almost as many times as I've been "one of the boys". Obviously this is not true for everybody at all times, but on average I've found that women spend a lot of time bonding over badmouthing the men in their life, spreading gossip and telling stories.

Shortly after the Russian revolution when Lenin was still around and many of the laws and social conventions of the time were in flux that has never been seen anywhere since, there were actually huge sweeping changes to the way women were recognised, including pushing them into industry and out of the home and generally liberalising gender relations in ways that were barely even conceived of in the West of th… | /r/MensRights | 06/02/18 05:51 AM |

The Presidents Club Gala is nothing compared to what we gay men have to put up with from females.I've known a few "butch" lesbians via the local gay networks that always exist in cities and the impression I've often gotten from them is that they are chasing some distorted image they have in their head of "masculinity" which can lead to this kind of aggressive antisocial behaviour. They've reminded me of nothing quite so much as the young men I've known who were raised by a single mother without any serious long term adult male presence in their lives. | /r/MensRights | 27/01/18 03:02 AM |

| 1 | "I 100% did not feel like I had a choice to say no."It's certainly compatible with either, but it is also a lot more than that. It's a specific political project with a history and ideology all its own. If you're interested in a more detailed understanding of what neoliberalism is and what people on the left are talking about when they critique it, I would heartily recommend you give David Harvey's 'A Brief History of Neoliberalism' a look.

I would say, based on my own reading of feminist literature from the time, that this transition from the genuine radicalism that characterised segments of the women's movement in the interwar period to (back to, arguably) middle-class liberalism is actually a defining trait of what is now known as the second wave.

Does anybody know the source of this figure? I would be interested in seeing the data and methodology for myself. | /r/MensRights | 05/01/18 03:12 AM |

| 2 | Teacher is wondering why boys are unhappy about SJWisms and how to "fix it"Always keeping in mind that "generations" the way they are talked about in pop culture and assigning sweeping characteristics to them is and always has been only, at best, marginally useful and is mainly bullshit... believe it or not, people were saying the same sorts of things back in the late 90s about the cohort would become known as "milennials" - that they were more interested in traditional roles, that they were more economically liberal, that the boys' attitudes toward girls/women (and gi… | /r/MensRights | 18/12/17 04:52 AM |
| 5 | Anon is rightMen need to stop letting women define what it means to be a man... and stop letting women dictate how we are supposed to talk, behave and think. This used to be something men were able to do and there were customs, rituals, places, etc. to facilitate it - where men could exercise some (limited) power over what it "means" to be a man. This stuff ranged from tribal initiation rituals and "men's councils" segregated from "women's councils" all the way through to male-only social clubs and that sort… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/17 03:19 AM |
| 3 | More than 20 states in 2017 considered laws to promote shared custody of children after divorceI love the effort to try to spin this as some traditionalist patriarchal notion that is a holdover from the Victorian and previous eras rather than a comparatively recent (in historical terms) change to the law that was explicitly sought and achieved by feminists of the time. It's staggering that this idea has the legs that it does when the reality is a matter of public record. | /r/MensRights | 13/12/17 08:31 AM |
| 9 | The feminist idea that "we don't need to worry about false accusations because only 2% of accusations are false.Even when the law does not get involved at all, accusations can destroy lives. I saw it happen to a guy I know - he was having a casual fuckbuddy type relationship with a girl, it went sour as they sometimes do and she comes out into the circle of mutual friends making accusations that he raped her. She never went to the police or anything like that, just basically spread rumours with very little in the way of concrete details. In fact, the single time she gave a time and place for an incident w… | /r/MensRights | 13/12/17 06:01 AM |
| 9 | The Red Pill Raw Files: Why Are You Anti-Feminist? | Karen StraughanHer story about men being told that feminism is for men too and that feminists would help address their issues and then being completely shut down and told to solve their problems on their own because feminism was about women, only to then be told they're doing it wrong and that it has to done through a feminist lens and then trying again and being completely shutdown etc etc etc. sounds eerily familiar. I think I personally went around that merry-go-round about 5 or 6 times over a few years bef… | /r/MensRights | 12/12/17 09:12 AM |
| 1 | Everyone likes to argue that sexism against men does not exist. I'm a woman and even I know that's not true, considering people say stuff like this.I wonder how people interested in ~social justice~ reconcile a view like this one - that prison and all the terrible things that happen there are OK and justified because (white, hetero, whatever category we don't like today) men deserve it and are getting their comeuppance with a view that prison and all the horrible things that happen there are bad and need to be reformed because they are disproportionately populated with black and other minority men and that is unjust. | /r/MensRights | 12/12/17 03:24 AM |
| 8 | 'Imagine if it were the other way around!' Female stars of The Apprentice are blasted by viewers for leering at male models’ six-packs during 'uncomfortable' taskNo, it can't. That's the unfortunate truth. One way or another, women and women's interests (however those might be seen in a given time and place) are the gatekeepers of what is socially acceptable - the keepers of public morality, as it were - and have been for most of recorded history. This is, I think, why people like u/girlwriteswhat sometimes say that men simply cannot solve these social gender issues themselves and need women to be involved. IMO, she is right.

| 1 | Mens Rights Is a Hate Movement ApparentlyWhile I wouldn't put it quite like that and I don't believe that women generally are just somehow innately incapable of empathising with a man (i think a case could probably be made that the way we socialise women and girls can lead to it though) - there is probably something to be said about finding a male psychologist if you are a man. I've had 3 men in my life who were in psychotherapy for various reasons and were at the end of their tethers, convinced it just "wasn't helping" who, at my urgi… | /r/MensRights | 02/12/17 04:54 AM |

Too much risk and too little potential benefit that I can see. Being publicly known to be a part of a "men's rights" group would mean most of my friendships would be at risk, which would put my relationship under strain because we share most of the same friends (despite my partner mostly being on the same page with this stuff) and if I had the misfortune of being in a picture or som… | /r/MensRights | 02/12/17 02:36 AM |
| 5 | Apparently there's no limit to what they'll promote as a "Women's issue"Looking at stuff like this, it sometimes seems that the only way to get women to care about something is to frame it specifically as something that will adversely affect them "as women" or that is unfair to them somehow "as women", rather than just as people. Not sure what it says about women that media and market analysis leads things to be framed this way though. | /r/MensRights | 01/12/17 05:20 AM |
| 1 | How to respond to the "we're not blaming men, we're blaming patriarchy" lineIt is also unrealistic to assume that men have no value in society. We are the construction workers, doctors, lawyers, politicians, scientist, and engineers, that run this country. This is something that a few authors (Farrell, Goldich, etc) have touched on. It's not that men have no value, it's that they have no inherent value. A man's value is determined by what he does, what he contributes to "society" generally and, particularly, what he contributes to the upkeep/protection/provision/comfort… | /r/MensRights | 01/12/17 04:05 AM |
| 6 | How to respond to the "we're not blaming men, we're blaming patriarchy" lineI'm not a scholar by any means, but it seems to me that "3rd wave" is simply the result of what turned out to be the dominant current of the second wave ("corporate feminism" or "bourgeois feminism") having stewed in the post-'68 social milieu of identity essentialism and the linguistic and cultural turn of the broad left for a few decades. Hence it seems to be different only in the sense that the movement has expanded it's scope and is characterised primarily by it's shallow "intersectional" rh… | /r/MensRights | 29/11/17 02:47 AM |
| 8 | How to respond to the "we're not blaming men, we're blaming patriarchy" lineI'm aware of that document and the convention that spawned it, but generally I don't find it to be a worthwhile angle. Not only is it fairly obscure, but is also about what one would reasonably expect for the period. All political movements begin with complaints because that is the catalyst for social change. What matters is the theoretical framework that has been developed once an ideology or movement has reached its maturity - which is why I chose the post-war "second wave", because this is wh… | /r/MensRights | 28/11/17 08:31 AM |
| 9 | How to respond to the "we're not blaming men, we're blaming patriarchy" lineThey never give straight answers when you demand that they clarify their bullshit definitions Something I've discovered trying to get an answer on this stuff out of an average online feminist or even to get them to actually commit to a position is that they simply don't know. They couldn't give you a coherent definition even if they wanted to because the vast majority of feminists seem to have never bothered to actually read any feminist theory. I mean, I use the term "theory" here generously be… | /r/MensRights | 28/11/17 06:56 AM |

| 3 | On male feminists and female MRA'sThere's some truth to the idea that guys like Elam are deliberately adopting a more unapologetic "masculine" rhetorical style. That has it's place and despite my personally being a bit of a windbag, I actually do appreciate it as well. However, it's also worth remembering that the conciliatory, consensus-seeking "feminine" style of communication is also the communication style of politics.

| 26 | On male feminists and female MRA'sThe men's movement does have actual misogynists who say and believe all sorts of ridiculous, hateful and often inaccurate things about women. Some of these are even women themselves. As I probably don't need to point out, the feminist movement also has perhaps more than it's share of outright man-haters who say and believe all sorts of ridiculous, hateful and often inaccurate things about men. Some, even many of these are men themselves. The difference that became immediately obvious to me when … | /r/MensRights | 21/11/17 07:40 AM |
| 3 | People are playing a very dangerous game with the “power dynamic” angle in accusations"Power" in these pseudo-political situations is almost never defined at all, let alone defined coherently. I find it difficult to really engage with any arguments around this stuff for this reason - nobody seems to want to say what "power" actually is in this context and how it affects what's going on, except to say vaguely that men have it and women do not. I mean, if we take "power" to equate to the ability to commit abusive acts with no likelihood of facing significant social censure, no judi… | /r/MensRights | 21/11/17 04:08 AM |
