6	Introducing SheRides: a taxi service that discriminates against male drivers and passengers. Hair salons aren't gendered inherently. There is no drastic difference between the hair that sprouts from the scalp of a man and the scalp of a woman. Western culture has, completely arbitrarily, settled on a bunch of hair-styles that are deemed either masculine and feminine. The feminist in question went to the male hair-salon, precisely because they provide masculine haircuts (Not male haircuts, there's no such thing as a "male haircut") not in spite of that fact. They turned her down even tho…	/r/MensRights	29/09/14 12:09 AM
11	Introducing SheRides: a taxi service that discriminates against male drivers and passengers. http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/2fgak0/no_more_male_spaces_despite_having_womens_only/ Remember this post in MensRights from a few weeks ago? When a male only barbershop is created MRAs get offended by a feminist criticising it. When a female only taxi company is created MRAs compare it racial segregation. Obviously I can't, and I won't, accuse you or OP as a hypocrite as individuals, but I think the popularity of these two posts shows that, as an entire movement, MRAs need to be car…	/r/MensRights	28/09/14 11:58 AM
-4	Introducing SheRides: a taxi service that discriminates against male drivers and passengers. Anybody else remember this link on the front page of this sub from a few weeks ago? http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/2fgak0/no_more_male_spaces_despite_having_womens_only/ MensRights, as a sub, were pissed about a feminist attacking a male-only barber shop. Women want to ride in taxis with female taxi drivers because it makes them feel safer. Men want a haircut in a male only barber because they feel a bit more comfortable. See the difference? I don't accuse OP as an individual, of hy…	/r/MensRights	28/09/14 11:52 AM
0	Can you guys help me debunk another stupid post? yes, just as the Mexican politicians are doing a wonderful job in Mexico due to the fact that they can relate to Mexicans. Or how wonderful the black politicians in Detroit are doing because, being black, they understand what is best for black people. Wow. I'm just gonna come right out and say it: I'm pretty sure you are a bit racist. Again, you are confusing correlation and causation. Mexico and Detroit are primarily struggling because they have a large population of socio-economically deprived…	/r/MensRights	08/09/14 07:32 AM

-1	Can you guys help me debunk another stupid post? what do you want him to do, eat an enchilada while lowering taxes on the poor? How can Obama, a black man possibly help an old Mexican woman? How would a rich black guy know what its like to be a poor Mexican old lady? No, which is why I deliberately pointed out that his position isn't necessarily his fault nor the fault of the people who elected him. I never said a white person "couldn't help a Mexican", all I said was that there's a chance a Mexican person might do a better job at representing…	/r/MensRights	08/09/14 06:36 AM
1	Can you guys help me debunk another stupid post? Do white men excel at getting elected? Perhaps, but I would argue that the role of a politician is to represent the population. How effectively can a wealthy white man represent a poverty stricken Mexican grandmother? This isn't as much of a problem with all of the other occupations you mentioned because their role isn't explicitly to represent a diverse population. Maybe the number of wrinkly white dudes in powerful positions isn't due to racism or to do with old familial wealth being used to m…	/r/MensRights	08/09/14 03:04 AM
4	Stolen from r/funny more male shaming in games 'Strong' is such a vapid characteristic to demand of lead characters in games. What we actually want are 'good' characters and 'diverse' characters. Any generic action hero (male or female) is strong, but most of the time they are also shamelessly pandering to a target audience, bland and one-dimensional. Good female characters have flaws. Good female characters are realistic, often blending characteristics that you would expect of them based on their gender with characteristics that would not b…	/r/MensRights	08/09/14 02:15 AM
