| 2 | Excellent NY Times op-ed pointing out creepy paternalism of modern Democrat Party and their promises to take care of woman's every needI disagree completely. 1. Douthat is hardly a fire-breathing right winger 2. everything he points out is logical and based on verifiable observation. It doesn't matter what he is. It matters how this op-ed will be received. And regardless of content, it will be received as an op-ed written by a Republican partisan. | /r/MensRights | 29/10/12 01:04 AM |

| 17 | Excellent NY Times op-ed pointing out creepy paternalism of modern Democrat Party and their promises to take care of woman's every needThe op-ed is undercut because it was written by a Republican pundit.

I do think the belief in the image is a relatively common belief amongst various feminists, and so worth discussion.

There have been arguments on Men's Rights, that a man cannot express his justified anger without being incarcerated. So you would hold HER to this same stultified standard?

If the woman and her boyfriend have some traditional man protects woman relationship, then there is no problem with her post. If the woman typically holds contemporary feminist attitudes about people not being forced into gender roles, then yeah, she's a hypocrite, but this is still not much of a men's issue.

If the OP has taken all sorts of gender feminist positions in the past, then she might be hypocritical for demanding her boyfriend conform to gender roles and defend her. But we don't know that.

My main point was the difference between Atheism and atheists. One can be defined one way, but the human implementation won't be bound by those purist definitions. And that's explicitly violated for Atheism Plus which is Feminist Atheism, certainly a religion since it explicitly believes in an untestable Sky Fairy, the Patriarchy. | /r/MensRights | 15/10/12 08:07 PM |

The latter was actually in a converted Army base located in the Marin Headlands that is now used for conferences, weddings, all sorts of stuff.

I still think that it's completely reasonable to call up the campus newspaper and ask why they haven't reported ANY rapes. What does it take to have a rape reported, and when is it they don't report them, and why aren't they looking at the police blotter. Etc. I think a rape of one per day or one per week or even one per month would have cops all over the place, the campus terrified, and the papers reporting. | /r/MensRights | 01/10/12 06:28 PM |

Other people buying you drinks is not an excuse. Your blacking out indicates you were so drunk you cannot tell how intoxicated your partner was. It makes for a very ambiguous situation that without further investigation leads us all to remember Blackstone: It is better that 10 guilty people go free than jail one innocent person.

For getting a handle on whether campus rapes approach the RAINN projections, the damn campus newspaper should be a good approximation. At the same time RAINN predicts a rape a day and the campus women's centers are plastering campuses with don't rape posters, the campus paper is reporting ZERO rapes.

Some fathers in some countries do some pretty amazing things in the names of fathers rights. Google for fathers rights in your local area.

| 3 | Former SPLC fundraiser raises questionsInteresting article, but basically a rehash of known information. What would be more interesting would be to politely, sincerely engage Arthur Goldwag on the topic. My understanding is that Goldwag is not an SPLC employee, and they paid him to write his article. He might have something new or topical to say about Morris Dees and the allegations of that 2002 piece. From communication with Goldwag at his blog, I have a (probably misplaced) sense of optimism that someone could politely, firmly deba… | /r/MensRights | 20/09/12 12:04 AM |

(Also note how I am reclaiming dildz.)No need to be sorry, and thank you for the explanation. I had to memorize Jabberwocky and several other poems in elementary school. There is only one of those poems I still remember (mumblety-number of decades later.) I was actually shocked at the article from Deacon Duncan, but admittedly, I couldn't get past the first couple of paragraphs where he seems to create this straw equity feminism out of nowhere and then slays it. Upon re-reading it, I find myself upset. With myself, for not seeing th… | /r/MensRights | 19/09/12 08:55 PM |

| 7 | Ladies Firsters: Why the new sex segregation is great for women - Yahoo! NewsSigh, I need more coffee. I read 90% of her column as a subtle critique of modern feminism in our culture. And then the last 10% just seemed to end weakly, with no point at all, and no "closure" -- was this a parody of feminism or a triumphant cheer. I can see people reading it as cheering feminism on, but if so, the first 90% seems to be pretty weak about that. My conclusion: I need more coffee.

| 1 | An interesting blog post at Free Thought Blogs about A+ from an atheist woman that has left Iran and fights sharia in Britain. She politely calls bullshit on A+ attitudes.Instead of downvoting why doesn't someone explain how I am wrong that communists suck when it comes to human rights? You are talking about a feminist, and though I didn't understand it for years and years, much of feminist theory WAS and IS based on communism. So hell, at least she's honest about that. So because of that, I don't see why you would give her less attention than to any feminist anywhere including the ones that would claim to be for the free market. | /r/MensRights | 19/09/12 07:32 PM |

| 4 | Feminist book store is calls itself "Women and Children First"Okay, that's plausible, and I can see that as a slight to men and more importantly one nail falsifying a feminist claim. But it does fit in nicely with the kinds of books they carry, and their targeted customer: We are one of the largest feminist bookstores in the country, stocking more than 30,000 books by and about women, children's books for all ages, and the best of lesbian and gay fiction and non-fiction. | /r/MensRights | 19/09/12 08:04 AM |

I don't want to keep people from posting these things, but idiot critics at SRS and intentionally pernicious critics like David Futrelle will take a look at what is posted and try to use it to trivialize us. That really shouldn't change our behavior, but we should, as subscribers to mensrights, be okay with people asking "how is this a mensrights issue?".

Although it can refer to varying forms of deviation, it is most often used to describe sexual behaviors that are seen by an individual as abnormal, repulsive or obsessive.
