i've seen people called incels for reasons that i don't agree with, that doesn't mean that i think the word becomes a slur on that basis early on, it referred to people who were involuntarily celibate. after a while, it became something people self-IDed as, and their communities were filled with misogyny and entitlement. they were pretty fun as lolcow hubs for a while but the schtick got tiring over time. nowadays i think it gets overused but it never really comes off as a slur any more than "go…

if the depressed person is lashing out at women, which incels do constantly, then yes i don't see why not. i'm sure the average poster on this subreddit would not be won over by a self described misandrist who has depression those terms are used in comparable ways, in that they describe gendered phenomenon, often in a charged way. do you find it realistic to call all of these terms slurs? i think that's peculiar but to each their own

this isn't what those words refer to though; they are specifically about the entire race / ethnicity of the person they're being used against

the incel is the one who thinks his life is worthless because he cannot get laid. anyways, would you feel similarly on denoting "gold digger" or "feminazi" as slurs as well in this instance?

/r/MensRights28/08/25 02:19 AM

those are words denigrating groups of people. calling someone an incel is saying something specific about one's attitudes towards women, dating, sex, etc. if you sincerely, genuinely believe "incel" is a slur, i'm sure you would feel similarly towards terms like "feminazi" or "welfare queen" or "gold digger"

the last time a draft was implemented in the US was the Vietnam war, which was a humanitarian disaster and had no justification to it. the last time it was "needed" was 80 years ago, and i can't really imagine a geopolitical situation that would necessitate one; it's a huge ask to say to young people that you need to fight in some war or face prison time i want the draft to be abolished which helps all men who would be put in that position; you want to have the same number of people subjected to…

i don't think that's true at all; laws can definitely impact your day to day life. i don't know if "certain types of sexual assault carry less of a sentence than others but both are still major charges" does per se, but other laws absolutely do, especially the absence of laws which result in you having no recourse for your sexual assault the proclamation of the original clipping in the OP
/r/MensRights20/08/25 08:19 PM

women can sexually assault men by law in the UK. the crime being not as severe is a huge oversight and something i hope is corrected, but the fact is that it's still considered a crime, which was not the case for marital rape. i think a system in which you can be a sexual prisoner is worse than one where your rapist can receive a reduced sentence, even if both systems minimize the punishment of sexual violence do you think that women had it better than men when this proclamation was written
/r/MensRights20/08/25 08:04 PM

i think those laws should be changed so that rape is included under that umbrella and it's not just limited to sexual assault as it currently stands, just as i think it's good that laws against spousal rape were introduced And was it illegal for a woman to rape her husband back then? as far as i can tell no, but men at least had the right to leave such setups and i have to imagine that it was more common for the opposite to be occuring

well i mean i'm reading a post about how they clearly didn't like their situation at the time, let alone from a modern perspective; you are the one who is evaluating it from a modern perspective and coming to the conclusion that a time when spousal rape was legal was more equal for both parties than it is today when....i guess men have to pay child support?? can i ask if you currently have custody of your kids?
/r/MensRights20/08/25 04:57 PM
-2

you are currently letting peer pressure and the feelings of other aggrieved men impact historical facts, so you might as well get a woman's perspective too go ahead, see what they think about you calling sex a spousal duty and that asking them to hold up that end is reasonable so long as the male is the caretaker. why don't you see how equal they find this to be?

people are rightfully outraged about rape only being considered as a charge in cases of penetration, which is the case in many places, and women were rightfully outraged at the time about the fact that they did not have much of an ability to accuse their husbands of rape using military service as a right to vote was ended with the 15th amendment in 1870 so idk where you're getting that from
/r/MensRights20/08/25 03:53 PM

because this place is so deep in the rabbit hole that they convince themselves that women had it better at a time when spousal rape as a concept didn't exist and women couldn't vote. losing custody of your kids seems to break some people's brains beyond repair lmao

i think a lot incels speak of it in terms of sexual companionship which is probably where that arises from. in any case, it doesn't exist as a gendered phenomenon; women experience loneliness in similar rates and the rates have increased for both genders

in my personal experience i don't ever see people who are supportive of rape victims discriminate by gender when it comes to their support. i remember when a bunch of film people were having accusations levied against them and i actually saw the opposite happening on reddit; male victims like brendan fraser were given an outpouring of support and female victims were often greeted with skepticism i think it's good to support people who come forward about rape even if it's not something they have …

the whole conversation is because men are so threatened by the idea that some of their learned behavior might need some work that they think anyone who uses a widely accepted term is some feminist misandrist out to kill them.

the reports themselves will tell you that they are not able to conclusively answer these questions. that said, i have not seen data showing that anywhere near a majority of accusations are false. it would not surprise me if the number is higher than the single digit percentage, it would surprise me if it's anywhere near 50 percent, which is why i said a credible accusation is more likely than a false accusation

if you're worrying this much about your potential behavior somehow being misconstrued there and you suffering real life consequences, then you should probably be worried about said misconstruing even if you don't date anyone. which is to say that the odds that it has much of a real-world impact on your life is slim to none and you are probably better off not stressing about it so much

i mean this might hold some water if those beauty agencies were actively lobbying against anti-circumcision causes (which i think is entirely within the realm of possibility) but i do not think this is the reality of it now. there's not a secret reason why people love genital mutilation; they've done it for millennia and are convinced it's correct, high-end beauty products or not

i personally do not think a very niche portion of the high end beauty industry is what's keeping circumcision legal, and even if that were the case, it would be for shareholder reasons and not for anti-men ones. i think it's culturally ingrained into the populace and it's something that billions of people have done to their kids, and hopefully with greater awareness around it, it can be outlawed in the future.

women are not allowed to become deadbeats any more than men are. they are allowed to have an abortion. both parents are allowed to give the child up to a safe haven or for adoption. women cannot relinquish all parental responsibility to the father. posts like this are explicitly arguing for their rights to be deadbeats, as if the welfare of the child (which could be male, if that matters at all) is less important than whether or not the man wants to be a manchild

the entire point of doing things like being courteous and making people feel safe is that it is something you do without expecting anything in return; if i cross the street for someone or let someone disabled have my seat, i am not expecting anything in return then or later. i think being this individualist will lead to problems down the road and it is a mindset that makes no sense to me. what social rules of decorum would you prefer women to engage with in order to make you feel safer?
/r/MensRights03/07/25 10:04 PM

i think as long as you are trying to make people feel safe then you should not worry about whether or not the person you are trying to make feel safe is prejudiced in some regards; this just doesn't seem like a healthy way to live. I agreed with you because you said you wanted to make people feel safe when possible, which is the bottom line ultimately, and i disagreed with the other person because he didn't seem to care about this. i do think it's a kind gesture to cross the street or otherwise …

i don't think being afraid of being near strangers at night is irrational women are not saying all men are abusive predators; it's the fact that they don't know the intentions of a stranger that makes them not be able to tell if the person is a threat women are also afraid of being followed or harassed which happens more often than for men; the threat isn't necessarily purely physical if you are getting this pressed about crossing the street or passing someone to make them not feel uncomfortable…

i do not think being uneasy around strangers at night is a sign of racism or sexism, and to assume as much seems willfully ignorant. woman have spoken at length about how uncomfortable they feel walking around at night and i have absorbed that to mean that i should avoid exacerbating the issue to the extent that it doesn't inconvenience me, and i do not know why someone would disagree with doing this

i am not saying it's your responsibility to fix racism, i am saying that you should try to avoid making people feel uncomfortable in situations where it doesn't take anything from you to do so, just as i would hope that people do for me as well. i find the notion that we shouldn't care about strangers' feelings at all very antisocial and not conductive to a healthy society

it varies by state but i checked the laws for California, Texas, and New York and all of them say more or less the same thing about relinquishing parental rights; none of them mention the word "father" or "mother," it's all just a matter of if the parents of the child choose to relinquish the child to the state

parents can do this; if, say, the mother dies during childbirth, the father could also do this. or if the couple decide together to do this then they can. one party deciding not to care for the child is not something that men or women can do, at least in any western countries I'm aware of

women do not have the right to abandon their child and not pay child support for them. this is not something they get to do. there is no double standard there. women (should) have the right to terminate a pregnancy because it concerns their body. if a trans man wanted to terminate a pregnancy, he should have just as much right as a cis woman

i do not think the rare cases of birth control failing when both parties are actively trying to prevent pregnancy and the mother choosing not to terminate or give the child up for adoption are worth reworking the system to such a degree that fathers aren't required to pay child support for their children, as i think that the welfare of the child being worsened to this degree would be a greater misfortune than requiring some men who had birth control methods fail on them to contribute financially…

the colloquial use of the word is gendered, and has been gendered for many years. it would be like arguing that "incel" does not primarily refer to men. so it is using a derogatory, gendered word to say that you hate sex workers, which i don't think is something people should be saying, especially if they hope to be taken seriously as activists

yes, it is derogatory towards sex workers, of which the vast majority is women and it's an industry frequently associated with women this is exactly what I'm talking about. people are whining about being called an incel yet somehow have construed the phrase "i hate whores" to be a non-gendered statement that also somehow is justified even if it is derogatory towards a group of people

the "demonstrably false" part is about most men not receiving love in adulthood. i personally don't think someone who has affirming friends is an anomaly, and the first post very clearly seems to think that it is. the whole argument of the initial post is that "this happens to me so it must happen to almost everyone"

me personally i have never wanted flowers, my friends will give me gifts that they know i will like more than that, and saying "you are doing great for yourself" is a bit of a dickrider statement that while i do appreciate i wouldn't expect from a close friend. i was moreso saying that i feel very loved and appreciated by my own friends, and i don't think this is an anomaly - and the initial post WAS treating this as an anomaly.

i don't see why any of pictures, height, or weight should be required. i can see why height would be preferable to weight since weight can be guessed from pictures + height, and if you're asking for height, i can see why it would be good to sort by. i don't use dating apps that require any of this info so its not something i actively engage with, i just see the logic there
/r/MensRights13/05/25 01:23 AM

people use all sorts of camera tricks on photos of themselves which is a sizable part of why i don't think photos should be required on most dating apps men have just as much ability to sort by height on there, and if the app is making you put that in then it's probably reasonable to allow one to sort by it i really cannot understand how someone could use dating apps and come away from them with this being something worth complaining about when they are generally awful in so many other ways
/r/MensRights12/05/25 07:38 PM

weight isn't on there because you can typically infer someone's approximate weight if you have pictures of them which is not really true for height. i don't really think either of them (or pictures) should be required on dating apps but i mean it makes sense why one is and the other isn't

believing that social darwinism can be observed in society and believing that social darwinism is the way things ought to be are entirely different; i "believe" in social darwinism the same way i "beleive" in fascism insofar as they both are observable in the world, but i don't think either of them are just.

lmao, "survival of the fittest shouldn't apply to men but it should apply to all other groups of people"

making your date feel nice and doing seemingly small gestures to that end makes everyone happy in my experience

encouraging people to make their dates feel special and appreciated is good

that is an entirely different discussion, and the methodology for both polling and sourcing differs greatly there. in any case, i'm not aware of it being "dismissed," moreso it's a data point which other data points agree or disagree with based on their own studies. if you have studies showing lower rates of abuse within the industry, or issues with the sampling methodology here, then feel free to post those. 120 is not indicative of the entire community, but to me it is potentially indicative o…

it's indicative that there should be more studies done but unless there was an issue in the initial sampling, there's no reason to assume that the population averages are particularly far off from that

120 is a fine sample size; nobody is saying that the numbers will scale exactly to the entire populace, but that's the point of taking a sample. are these numbers not concerning to you?

have you tried reading the posts from people in so called men's rights spaces? i think it's pretty obvious why it has a poor reception. it's entirely possible that someone is into men's rights and is not insane about them but most people that i see that is not the case for them
