6	Mail Online contradicts itself in the same article. Matthew Hickley probably shouldn't be working as a journalist. Clickbait title, unclear wording, obvious contradictions. If those stats are even true, all they show is that the average amount a man works has declined over the last few years, while the average amount a woman works has increased over the last few years. That doesn't mean the wage gap doesn't exist. Since women are starting to work longer hours and men are starting to work shorter hours, it follows that the wage gap should be closi…	/r/MensRights	31/07/18 06:19 AM
6	Demi Lovato's Funniest Prank was Sexually Assaulting a Man I am so disgusted by the people who are defending Lovato. I understand that she's not the one who actually committed the assault, but who knows what she told the "lady of the night" to do. She hired her to go to his room... harass him... and she did. She could very well have been under the impression that the man was playing along with some role playing thing or who knows what when he denied her advances. On top of being (at the VERY least, indirectly) responsible, she laughs about it? And then …	/r/MensRights	03/06/18 10:03 PM

Most men don't know how to put their or someone else's hair up. Most women don't shave their faces. My father and brother both use straight razors, for the record. I'm aware many men use the same type of razors that women use for their legs, but I would compare a man putting his daughter's hair up to me teaching my younger brother to shave his face; something I didn't…	/r/MensRights	23/04/18 05:23 AM
47	Sanity Sunday, here's to all the single dad's out there :) I'd say it's on par with a mom teaching her son how to shave his face. Women grow up riding and fixing bicycles, too... it's not a very complicated machine, and all children should learn how to perform basic maintenance on the machines they use (especially as they get older and learn to drive). I think it's relevant to say that my brother has pretty much always had really long hair. He wore ponytails and buns starting when he was in middle school ten years ago. His hair is longer than mine and t…	/r/MensRights	23/04/18 03:00 AM
1	Husband protects wife and saves her life, wounds are so massive that he turns into a vegetable, wife dumps him I like to engage with both perspectives. I don't disagree with everything or everyone on this sub. Men's rights are important to me. Women's rights are important to me. Nonbinary/genderqueer people's rights are important to me.

5	Husband protects wife and saves her life, wounds are so massive that he turns into a vegetable, wife dumps him This is selfish and immoral but I don't think it's a men's rights issue. It's a morals issue. My grandma's husband had ALS and she stuck with him to the very end, holding his hand while he died. My grandma on the other side of the family had a stroke and her husband didn't lift a finger, leaving all the caregiving (financial, emotional) to his daughter. He visited her sometimes and told her he loved her, but that was it. He didn't visit when she was dying. I realize it's different because they'r…	/r/MensRights	19/04/18 10:13 PM

Even well-meaning people will dismiss a rape if they don't understand the situation fully, and it's difficult for victims to verbalize their own abuse (imagine trying to tell multiple strangers that someone rammed a foreign object up your ass or vagina). While I only hear extreme conservatives saying things like "the female body has ways to shut that down," plenty of people that I know personally have accused women of lying for attention, especially in high pr…	/r/MensRights	19/04/18 07:05 PM
1	When men are raped in prison people make jokes. When a trans-woman was raped in prison it led to a six figure payout. I have to say I have only ever heard cis men make jokes about men being raped in prison, and it makes me feel sick to my stomach. I have heard many people, men and women, feminists and non, make dismissive comments about male rape victims (if the rapist was a woman), though, and that is sickening. Rape isn't funny under any circumstances. Prison is a fucking hell hole no matter which gender you identify as. Rape and abuse happens in women's prisons as well (maybe not at the same rates) and I don…	/r/MensRights	19/04/18 06:53 PM
1	Smug Texts From Mother Who Avoided Jail Despite Beating Daughter You certainly bring up many examples of self-proclaimed feminists who have done damage to men. I had not heard of a single one of them, and I doubt most feminists are aware of these things. Thank you for taking the time to share these with me; I will be looking into them when I have more time and I will share them with my feminist friends and spaces.

0	Smug Texts From Mother Who Avoided Jail Despite Beating Daughter Gender roles are the expectations of women to be housewives, babymakers, and caregivers, and the expectations of men to be educated breadwinners. Feminine beauty standards are a product of capitalism and objectification of the female body. Slut shaming is a product of old, old patriarchy in which a woman was seen as worthless without her virginity. Women shaming women for these things is an example of internalized misogyny, not toxic feminism. You do bring up a good point about women who don't l…	/r/MensRights	26/03/18 04:33 AM
1	Smug Texts From Mother Who Avoided Jail Despite Beating Daughter Like I said before, we aren't saying that all masculinity is toxic. We are saying that the idea of femininity being inherently weak is toxic. When we say toxic masculinity, we are specifically talking about the toxic parts of the culture which surrounds people who are expected to be masculine. "Enforced gender roles" is vague and doesn't address that the problem at hand is a result of unrealistic expectations for men and boys specifically.

1	Smug Texts From Mother Who Avoided Jail Despite Beating Daughter My go-to feminist spaces already advocate for these things openly. A common topic of discussion is "toxic masculinity," which is the idea that showing any femininity (or things that are associated with femininity like being emotional) means you are weak. It's important to note that we are not claiming that all masculinity is toxic; we are saying that the idea that men are not allowed to display femininity or emotion is toxic.

A difference of 25 points out of 1000 is 2.5%. 25 out of 10,000 is 0.25%, and at that point, how meaningful are those 25 points? To put it into more perspective: If he has 10 points, she has 9.975. If he has 1000, she has 997.5. If he has 1025, she has 1022.4. That 0.25% doesn't mean much at all.

1	Man wins $390000 gender discrimination lawsuit after a woman gets a promotion he was more qualified for That's fair, but 0.25% raised my eyebrows. Again, I'd like to see how this percentage was calculated. How can you quantify something like qualification with a precision small enough to accept a difference of 0.25% as significant? What is the percent error of whatever function they use to determine percent qualification? There must be some range in which two candidates are so close that they are considered to be equally qualified. What if one were 0.10% more qualified? 0.05? You see what I mean?	/r/MensRights	22/03/18 10:15 PM

What's not true is the idea that a person's experience due to physical attributes makes them less competent or intelligent by default. It's not the same mentality, although I do see where you're coming from.

I don't think diversity in intellect is something you want, though. Less intelligent people are less qualified, right? Diversity of thought and ideas, absolutely relevant.

Diversity is a tool for evolution and potential improvement. I'm not advocating for hiring less qualified people just for diversity's sake, so I'm not sure why you're referencing programs that do this.

2	Man wins $390000 gender discrimination lawsuit after a woman gets a promotion he was more qualified for At first I read it as 25%, in which case I think it's entirely reasonable for him to be chosen instead.
