| 3 | Have you ever been able to successfully convince an individual to join our cause?We've basically already won, though only against the feminists. COVID-19 is the nail in the coffin for feminism. I used to lament the fact that there were so many people (particularly on youtube) who share most MRA views but didn't call themselves MRAs. Then I realized what was really going on. MRA views are going mainstream. Now it's not over by any stretch of the imagination, but if you weren't around or paying attention to the situation 10-20 years ago, things are radically different.

| 2 | Critique my thinking hereWell, for starters your math is wrong. Mainly because 5 rapes does not equal 5 rapists. For that matter 5 rapes doesn't necessarily equal 5 rape victims.

Most men have no idea that there is a growing movement for their well being.Red Pill Rage is a fairly common term, so if my explanation here is not sufficient you should be able to read all you want about it from Google/Youtube/etc. Basically it amounts to the extreme anger often felt by men when they realize the extent to which society has lied to them, abuses them, and just generally hates them. And sometimes you need to say things you really don't mean to get that anger out of your system.

| 10 | This community should have more members... Most men have no idea that there is a growing movement for their well being.I know what you're saying, but not every sexist comment is malicious. Red Pill Rage is a very real thing, and if those men don't have a place to vent then things will get worse. For that matter, we don't even ban feminists, and I think that's a very important aspect of this community. I *do* want this sub specifically and men's rights in general to go more mainstream, but we need to be careful with whatever changes we make. Keeping r/mr a free speech space is important. | /r/MensRights | 18/05/19 02:59 PM |

This is a horrible situation for your boyfriend (and you) to be in and there's not a lot of places where you can reach out for support. Just make sure your boyfriend doesn't admit to anything before he gets advice from a lawyer. Anybody have the name/contact info for a MR-friendly Lawyer? If so, for god's sake PM it to this young lady. | /r/MensRights | 23/04/19 08:57 PM |

| 5 | Is MensRights a Hate Group, I am a feminist and wondering if anyone here is willing to discuss.Because having empathy for men is not hate. > Full disclosure, I have the preconceived notion that MRA's are just men How on earth have you missed all of the female MRAs? | /r/MensRights | 09/04/19 11:54 PM |

| 2 | Should MRAs try to be more intersectional?There are problems deeper than the ones faced because of race and gender. In many ways, feminism is merely a symptom. The deep, underlying problem that is creating the massive plethora of societal issues that we are facing is Tribalism. Trying to make the MRM intersectional would just make that worse. I know a lot of black men have the same issues white men have, only worse in a lot of cases. I don't need an intersectional mindset to be aware of that. What I need, is to recognize that those men … | /r/MensRights | 22/01/19 05:41 PM |

| 1 | Female, 23, trying to become more informed— long post, requesting resources and directionToo many people associate "submissive" with "weak" when actually submission requires enormous strength. Add to that, the general demonization of men and male sexuality and the people who don't look down on you will probably be afraid on your behalf. It's probably especially pronounced in women because most women have a natural femininity and have been trained by society to fear it. I can only imagine the horror they live in having been taught that the thing most natural to them will lead them in… | /r/MensRights | 31/12/18 11:53 AM |
| 2 | Why Men's Rights Activists should care about ending the legal prohibition on sex workI agree with legalizing prostitution, but I think you're mistaken on your justifications. I've looked into it, particularly into the dating life in Germany where prostitution is legal. What I found is that the vast majority of customers for those services there are sex tourist a.k.a. foreigners. The culture of Germany has not changed in regard to how they view prostitutes and so the legalization hasn't changed much for men, at least back when I was looking into it. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/18 06:44 PM |

(depending on what "bugging" a computer means). I know you're not in the US but most places have laws regarding unauthorized access. That said: Get a new job As much fun as it might seem to be to toy with these people to get revenge, they aren't worth your time or energy. Once you have a new job in place, the by all means tell them what you think of them on your way out. | /r/MensRights | 21/11/18 05:07 PM |
| 2 | Why don't men's rights activists ever address this sexual double standard?Actually we do talk about this, just not in those terms. It goes to the nature of male and female sexuality. According to western society, if you're a woman and you're exposed to male sexuality, it makes you dirty. To be clear, a woman who is not considered "dirty" (like, say, a virgin) becomes so after exposure to male sexuality. Now I ask you, how does a clean thing become dirty? By exposure to something already considered "dirty". So society considers male sexuality dirty by default and slut-… | /r/MensRights | 31/10/18 07:08 PM |

| 5 | I just watched the Red Pill Documentary that came with my Amazon Prime subscriptionWell, then I think we can agree even if we come at it from different perspectives. Men are more naturally suited to combat roles just from sheer biology. And women are just as capable of being unethical as men, which is how you get a lot of "whoops" pregnancies before a woman is supposed to ship out - because if men had that option, a lot of them would take it. (That said, there's more to the military than combat roles, but that's a more complicated discussion.) The main form of egalitarianism y… | /r/MensRights | 03/10/18 10:51 PM |

Pay close attention to the upvotes though. Not everything that gets posted is indicative of popular opinion. That said, while we do tend towards egalitarianism here, we're also quick to call feminists out on the fallacious idea that equality can only be through congruence.

| 3 | Hello, /r/MensRights. I am interested in having a discussion about "financial abortion" - i.e. men being free of child support obligations if they do not consent to preservation of pregnancy. Will you talk to me?It wouldn't have to be upfront. It could be amortized over 5 years. The state would pay the mother upfront and the man would pay back the state. These things aren't hard if you stop to think, even for one second, how they might be solved. But if you actively don't want them solved, then you'll never see the answer. | /r/MensRights | 24/02/18 09:06 PM |
| 6 | Hello, /r/MensRights. I am interested in having a discussion about "financial abortion" - i.e. men being free of child support obligations if they do not consent to preservation of pregnancy. Will you talk to me?If you think $5000 is bad, then look at what some men are required to pay in terms of child support. Even when they can't afford to. There's plenty of ways of dealing with the specifics but you already said you're against the idea so why should I bother throwing around ideas? I'll just say that it would be trivial to open it up to men who don't happen to have $5k lying around. And if someone comes along who isn't against the idea at the outset, I'll discuss the specifics with them. | /r/MensRights | 24/02/18 04:25 AM |

A feminist posts the story to reddit and gets angry PMs because people think that she is the woman whose profile was posted to the forum. She says says that MRAs are the ones harassing her but offers no proof.We always have. Sure there are those who believe that women shouldn't be "allowed" in the MRM (I mean seriously anyone who believes what we believe is in the MRM. How could you possibly keep anyone out? Tell them "no you can't think of men as human beings you're a woman so we're going to somehow force you to be a bigot"?) and others who just don't want women in leadership.

| 1 | A Feminist admits Feminist men turn her off.I agree that traditional gender roles were bad for both genders. By extension Feminism hurts both genders as well (since it's traditional gender rolls put to the extreme). However what I disagree with, and you've failed to address, is that women are better represented in government. And outside of highly specific sociological uses, "Patriarchy" is bullshit. | /r/MensRights | 03/06/13 10:08 PM |
| 6 | A Feminist admits Feminist men turn her off.Apexuality. Men in power do not necessarily represent the interests of men. In fact if you look at them based on their actions apexuals typically represent the interests of women. As far getting gender roles from patriarchal societies, those societies were gynocentric and misandric in the extreme. They gave power to men, but didn't assign any value to them outside of our ability to benefit women. | /r/MensRights | 03/06/13 06:29 PM |

You could have an equivalent social obligation to the draft - perhaps something more suited to women's abilities than men's. But we don't.

| 5 | The "aspiring equity feminist" who got her ass handed to her was forced to re-evaluate her opinions. I'm here with some legitimate questions now, and I'm willing to learn!Here we go: 1) How do you define feminism? Feminism is a perpetual social revolution that - at this point in time - exists largely to perpetual itself. It does this by continuing to find more and more ways in which women are "oppressed" to prove we still "need" it. 2) What about rape culture Correct me if I'm wrong, but the concept of "rape culture" is one in which rape is somehow normalized or expected, correct? If that's the case then rape culture is DEFINITELY a problem, with the caveat that … | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 06:33 PM |

| 1 | Most feminists are not bigots. Most feminists are bigot-enablers.I agree that you have a point. For that matter, I once considered myself a feminist. My purpose with what I wrote here is not that I believe that average people who consider themselves feminists should be ambushed, and I admit that I may not have made that clear. What I wrote is largely directed at non-bigoted feminists who post in /r/MensRights. I haven't been here all that long, but the feminists who post here really seem to not be ignorant about men's issues. These people don't have an excuse… | /r/MensRights | 15/07/12 01:49 PM |

If Paul Elam himself has made bigoted remarks, believe me when I say I very much want to know about it. As an aside, I am completely baffled why your original post has been so aggressively downvoted.

| 2 | Most feminists are not bigots. Most feminists are bigot-enablers.In what way is manhood academy part of the MRM? If they are indeed misogynist then why do we need to consider them MRAs? As far as I'm concerned if you advocate violence or consider any group to be inferior you are not an MRA regardless of your opinions on anything else. And what's the deal with Paul Elam? | /r/MensRights | 15/07/12 01:31 PM |

| 1 | Are we ready for male birth control?It may be a it on the hopeful side, but I do believe there are good reasons to believe the male pill will be more effective than the female pill. Family Court is a big reason, as is the fact that most men don't have instincts that make them desperate for a baby. I strongly believe men will be more reliable when it comes to taking the pill than women have. As for a rise in STDs, this is entirely possible. | /r/MensRights | 15/07/12 11:24 AM |
| 1 | Most feminists are not bigots. Most feminists are bigot-enablers.I don't expect bigot-enablers to want advice on what to call themselves. I find it interesting though that you find "hysterical rhetoric" more acceptable from people who are more able to influence legislation and have more legitimacy in university settings. So you're basically saying that once the MRA has more power, then you'll be okay with this "crazy talk"? I also find it interesting that you want me to be embarrassed.

| 12 | Are we ready for male birth control?this may sound hyperbolic, but I honestly believe the male pill will revolutionize society. Because of the financial pressures of child-support, men will quickly overcome any fears about side effects (as a group, obviously some will hold out for a while). Then unplanned pregnancy will absolutely plummet. Total child-support dollars extracted from men will decrease precipitously (though not as much). Father's will be more likely to have access to their children (though there will still be MUCH to… | /r/MensRights | 15/07/12 04:12 AM |

Actually I'm a lot more sympathetic to the Germans of that era than today's feminists. Back then a German who didn't support the Nazi actually faced danger. All a non-bigoted feminist has to do? Stop applying that word to themselves. Stop defending feminism when it's attacked. If someone attacks equality-of-opportunity or is actually misogynist?

Following this line of reasoning, Psychiatrist Judith Lewis Herman concludes that "Shame is an acutely self-conscious state in which the self is 'split,' imagining the self in the eyes of the other; by contrast, in guilt the self is unified.

Now when you run into bitter, hateful men who think women are the problem you can actually empathize with them. It may not accomplish anything in the short term (because they probably won't believe you're being genuine) but lack of empathy for men is the ultimate issue we men face.

I'm not entirely certain how feminists have managed to get the LGBT community buying their snake-oil, especially with all the transphobia. Personally I think the struggle of the LGBT community is far more legitimate than the so-called feminist "struggle". Women were handed suffrage on a silver platter the moment more of them wanted it than didn't. Gay marriage? Not so much... (Personally I'm not … | /r/MensRights | 13/07/12 04:10 AM |

If I, as a heterosexual, were going on OKCupid, I'd probably select A, just for my own personal safety. For myself (with regards to someone approaching me for sex), "No" means "No" but is doesn't necessarily mean, "Stop asking". So yeah a "No" can become a "Yes" but I wouldn't lay a finger on someone until it verbally did so.
