| 12 | A feminist at my school is becoming very popular by encouraging hate.Wow she's awful, I can't believe the benign tweets she passes off as abuse. Notice how she brands ME a racist, despite pointing out how black men are affected to. That girl is a vile bigot with a huge chip on her shoulder sitting in for a brain. I think this girl needs her Asian privileged checked so remind her that her demographic earns more than whites and can't possibly count themselves as a under privileged group by any practical measure. It's always the privileged feminists who act a fool m… | /r/MensRights | 09/04/14 03:09 AM |
| 3 | The feminist group at my school are very concerned at the heteronormativity of our campus's dating safety tips. They completely missed the gender bias present in it.Can you please tell them that men make up 25-30% of campus sexual assault victims. I still can't believe I'm the only one saying this but none of these wanna be gender scholar seems to have actually looked at a study of campus sexual violence with BOTH GENDERS but want to pretend their experts on the subject. Print a copy of this study and hand it to them because it's the best and most detailed I've found.

| 1 | BBC - "How can Wikipedia woo women editors?"Apparently using words to discuss problems that arise issues is unwelcoming to people and too 'old school' and intimidating. "Wikipedia is not only an unwelcoming place to female editors, it's unwelcoming to most people," Lih says. "It's an old-school online community... and it has a tradition of verbal fighting and verbal debate. In the best cases, that leads to things that inform and inspire. In the worst cases, they lead to people feeling intimidated and uncomfortable." | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 06:22 PM |
| 3 | Serious question: why is the Mens Rights Movement so opposed to feminism?Feminists emerged first and MRA's were a push for men's liberation akin to women's liberation that emerged from feminists perspectives. So if we take it back to the 1970's the two could have merged or cooperated but that didn't happen. Feminists were fixated on male bashing their way to equality which is a tradition they haven't dropped to this day. A even more serious answer can be found in the work of Warren Farrell. From his wiki: "He came to prominence in the 1970s as one of the leading male… | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 06:15 PM |
| 3 | Serious question: why is the Mens Rights Movement so opposed to feminism?Feminists aren't fighting for equality, they are lobbying to get things for women often at the expense of men whether or not it's equal or fair. It's about getting as much as you can not equality. The sexes grow up in the same homes and go to the same schools so they already were mostly equal to begin with. Their life choices then diverge resulting in disparities feminists call 'inequality' only when it's a disparity they see as negatively impacting women. The wide array of areas where men appea… | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 06:01 PM |
| 4 | Serious question: why is the Mens Rights Movement so opposed to feminism?but it's a bit troublesome when I come over here to see the MRA side of things and it's full of comments calling women cunts. Well what did that particular women do? I rarely see comments such as you describe either way and I think your use of hyperbole here is unhelpful. The only 'cunt' reference came from you in this thread and now me quoting you. Tell me do you police every nasty reference to men in SRS? If not then don't bother doing it here. We try to take our equality seriously. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 05:52 PM |
| 2 | Serious question: why is the Mens Rights Movement so opposed to feminism?The MRA response to work place deaths and the wage gap are the sexes making different life choices. If not our 93% male prison population in the millions would be bigger issues or the 80% male suicide rate with 30,000 victims, or the 79% male homicide rate with 12,000 victims before the 4000 or so victims of work place death. (edit: numbers just counting male victim estimate) What we see here is a lack of compassion for men across the board. Few care what happens to men and that's the problem we… | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 05:44 PM |
| 2 | Serious question: why is the Mens Rights Movement so opposed to feminism?I think people just have more compassion for women than they do men. I don't see the disconnect as being inspired by the politics so much as the culture as a whole being more apt to aide a women in need than a man. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 05:37 PM |

Due to the amount of misinformation people form the wrong conclusions and buy into these outdated world views. Men's rights is empowered by the truth while feminists find themselves running from it.

For the record poor people period are seen as a underprivileged group as can be seen in the 'poor peoples campaign' MLK was advancing before his death that united poor whites and blacks. The most general way of framing Men's rights is a cause that demand equal compassion for men and boys. When these people need help they should be helped in the same manner a women would.

| 1 | There is no wage gap if the only differing factor is genderDo you have picture of the flyer so we can test the veracity of our argument? "There is no wage gap if the only differing factor is gender" doesn't make much sense. It's more like the wage gap can be explained by differing life choices made by the sexes. There is a wage gap, and it's how that gap is explained that we have a problem with. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 02:03 PM |
| 1 | I'm getting real tired of the tone in the MR subreddit.He's just saying that's not what we're really about. Shitting on feminism is a means to an end since feminism get's in the way of helping men and boys by spreading lies, misinformation, and negative stereotypes. It's like saying the civil rights movement wasn't about being against the Klan but the Klan was clearly something they had to deal with. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 02:51 AM |

| 1 | As a queer boy, can i be a MRA?Why not call himself queer? Do you want people who aren't white cis males to hide their true identities? I don't agree with that and the macro movement deals in social justice issues impacting a great many minority groups whose issues need to be heard. I think intersectionality is B.S in how feminists have implemented it but I think the least that MRA's can do is respect other groups issues are out there and they may overlap with the MRA macro agenda. Having minorities identify as minorities is … | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 02:36 AM |
| 0 | As a queer boy, can i be a MRA?Queer theory and feminism are not one and the same. They nonetheless co-opted the LGBTQ movement along with anti racism to expand their largess. I think you should be looking to take it back so it's not misused to attack you for being male as we've seen with black males who cosign the feminist agenda. Being in a marginalized group doesn't make you safe from white feminist hegemony and it's dilution of real minority issues. That's even before we get into their over the top man hating that they us… | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 02:30 AM |
| 1 | (serious question) How many of you guys have resentment towards women?Both sexes get bitter towards the opposite sex and I really don't think we need to go overboard condemning people who've been put through the wringer emotionally by abusive people. Feminists are notorious for their bitterness towards men but you won't be posting this at /r/feminism because you give women a pass for that kind of stuff like most people. The alternative is you post it and people will call you an MRA. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 02:13 AM |

Sometimes you wonder if they are trying to convince others or themselves when they speak considering their over reliance on historic basis for claiming oppression rather than any modern day barriers in a culture that long ago accepted gender equality.

Feminists probably just want women making more money.”More over privileged women whining loudly because they can easily get plugged in a place like the NY Times for doing so. People have to wake up to the reality of women playing these victim games to get stuff from men.

I was banned at the Guardian not long ago and these censorship efforts will back fire as the public grows impatient with controlling feminists ideologues grasping for power using manipulative tactics.

Simple as that!If you knew more about men's rights you'd probably be teaching your daughter not to rape because we hold that men are just about as likely to be victims according to studies. Then again we think studies have inflated numbers and we're in a climate of rape hysteria. That would include some degree of false accusation hysteria but since the society doesn't talk about it enough we need to raise awareness while we can.

They talk about rape then complain about sexy ads and heels.

A lot of MRA's do not think like a 1940's German man with plans of world domination. The average MRA wants to see his kids, be treated fairly in life, and respected as a human being. He recognizes there are gender differences which explains gender disparities better than a hypothesis of gender being purely social but he doesn't assume women are just for making babies. I think your comment is insulting to MRA's and is a… | /r/MensRights | 02/01/14 06:50 PM |
| 2 | We need statistics on female-on-male rape.Great info here from a unlikely source. It was posted a few weeks ago. http://freethoughtblogs.com/hetpat/2013/09/04/the-startling-facts-on-female-sexual-aggression/ | /r/MensRights | 02/01/14 06:47 AM |
| 1 | Are we just as bad as the feminists?"why can't we have a subreddit which actually tries to solve inequality by looking at the problems of men and women" That's because it would become a feminists forum by default. If you haven't noticed feminists have been claiming they were doing just that but in reality you've seen that they favor women over men. MRA's expose feminists hypocrisy while raising awareness about men's issues. The issue of inequality isn't really the issue. People have problems and those peoples problems need attenti… | /r/MensRights | 02/01/14 05:57 AM |
| 1 | As many as 12 women seem to have lied about being sexually harassed by this man.The MRM movement is about issues we shouldn't have ever ignored in the first place. The fact men even care to care about other men seems like a revolutionary act today because men tend to favor women and that's what you're doing now. Being the white knight makes men feel good about themselves and I get it but notice that you darn near went after the MRM itself to it. Will we sacrifice ten men to protect the honor of one women? That's white knighting. Indian culture is a traditionalist mess but t… | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 02:29 PM |
| 0 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.Trans aren't the center of the damn universe and that goes for everybody. MRA's shouldn't have to beg you or anyone to support compassion for men and boys. That's not suddenly going to become centered on trans issues, gay issues, black issues, Hispanic issues, or any of the identity politics victim of the week. It's MEN. The whole lot moving from big issues to small ones. Focusing on trans men would be like narrowing focus to disabled war vets instead of confronting massive gender gap in higher … | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 02:16 PM |
| 2 | I have an intersectional question for you guys.The thing is that's better dealt with as a male issue in general because then we can help everyone. The divisive approach of singling out every sub group isn't helpful when we're trying to get men in general compassion rather than just gay men or black men. That game ends up pitting various groups of men against each other when we need a unified front. | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 07:00 AM |
