| 1 | Feminist thinks that no man would be against abortion if he could get pregnant. Neglects to mention that women are actually less supportive of abortion than men are.That is NOT the only reason that institutional power tends to remain in a particular demographic in this country. It's really simplistic to think that way. And I really don't know what semantic games I'm playing. I used the term "old white guys" in quotations because it was from the article the OP linked to. It wasn't my terminology. | /r/MensRights | 12/02/11 01:19 AM |
| 1 | Feminist thinks that no man would be against abortion if he could get pregnant. Neglects to mention that women are actually less supportive of abortion than men are.Now you are arguing semantics about how to define "feminism" and how to decide who gets to use the term to describe themselves. So, as a FEMINIST, I will just tell you that the term is maleable and its meaning has changed over time as the people using it to describe themselves have grown and changed. When I say I am a feminist, it doesn't mean I am pledging allegiance to any particular set of opinions out there. What it means to me is that I have done my homework on institutional sexism against … | /r/MensRights | 12/02/11 01:16 AM |
| 1 | Feminist thinks that no man would be against abortion if he could get pregnant. Neglects to mention that women are actually less supportive of abortion than men are.Notice that I used the article writer's phrase "old white men" with the caveat of my own phrase "who are lawmakers." So please do not accuse me of being ageist, sexist, and racist. It is a historical fact that, in this country at least, power has tended to be concentrated in the hands of people who have "white" skin and who have penises and typically who are also older than 50 years old (not that that makes them "old" in a pejorative sense). Power concentrations in politics and economics do not … | /r/MensRights | 12/02/11 01:09 AM |
| 1 | Feminist thinks that no man would be against abortion if he could get pregnant. Neglects to mention that women are actually less supportive of abortion than men are.See, you are confusing "all men" with "a man in power" namely the Pope, the leader of a very influential religious institution that has greatly impacted the debate on abortion. And there will never be a "popess" because the Catholic Church has such deeply entrenched sexism against women. I don't blame "all men" for a viewpoint that some women share. However, I am honest and realistic about how the actual "men in power" (ie the institutional misogyny that characterizes our historical and even at … | /r/MensRights | 12/02/11 01:00 AM |
| 7 | Feminist thinks that no man would be against abortion if he could get pregnant. Neglects to mention that women are actually less supportive of abortion than men are.I'm a feminist and I don't think like this. So, in fact, you've just made a sweeping statement that "all feminists think alike." | /r/MensRights | 11/02/11 09:03 AM |
| 4 | Feminist thinks that no man would be against abortion if he could get pregnant. Neglects to mention that women are actually less supportive of abortion than men are.She isn't talking about all men, she's talking about "old white men" who are lawmakers-- who tend to make the laws that differentially impact women. Maybe you are looking for something to be mad about but there are just so many better things to get mad about, seriously. | /r/MensRights | 11/02/11 09:01 AM |
| -2 | Feminist thinks that no man would be against abortion if he could get pregnant. Neglects to mention that women are actually less supportive of abortion than men are.That's a sweeping statement you are making that I think you must be basing on this quotation in the article: "Rearrange human biology so that it's men who get pregnant. It might not end verboten sexual relations, but it will probably put an end to old white guys trying to ban abortion and targeting the most vulnerable women, from rape victims to the needy poor, in the worst circumstances." Your argument is empty because she is talking about "old white guys" who tend to be the people in power, hi… | /r/MensRights | 11/02/11 08:59 AM |

| 4 | Feminist thinks that no man would be against abortion if he could get pregnant. Neglects to mention that women are actually less supportive of abortion than men are.I support that law under the societal circumstances that (a) abortion is 100% woman's choice with no caveats, (b) the alleged father gets to decide whether or not to be named as such and held financially responsible BECAUSE (c) the children who are parented by women without the involvement of biological fathers from birth are fully and well supported by our society so as not to suffer the largely economic effects of their likely being raised by a single parent. But he has to decide by the time t… | /r/MensRights | 11/02/11 08:54 AM |
| 4 | Feminist thinks that no man would be against abortion if he could get pregnant. Neglects to mention that women are actually less supportive of abortion than men are.I believe (a) the pregnant woman gets the ultimate choice [in a kind world, she would consider the man's desires], (b) the alleged father gets to decide whether or not to be named as such and held financially responsible BECAUSE (c) the children who are parented by women without the involvement of biological fathers from birth are fully and well supported by our society so as not to suffer the largely economic effects of their likely being raised by a single parent. This is not to say that child… | /r/MensRights | 11/02/11 08:46 AM |
| 1 | Did the "I stopped taking birth control and woops I'm preggers" thread scare you? Here's how my bf knows for certain that I'm on birth control.Apparently, you won't have to wait long! One of the recurring themes in the thread is about this issue of "trust." So I still think the tactic of having solid relationships built on trust-- as a foundation for a sexual relationship where SO MUCH is at stake in your own life-- is a key here. If you are dating women who might purposely "forget" to use their BC though that agreement has been made a clear foundation of your own willingness to have sexual intercourse with them-- well, if those are th… | /r/MensRights | 09/02/11 06:41 PM |

| 0 | Did the "I stopped taking birth control and woops I'm preggers" thread scare you? Here's how my bf knows for certain that I'm on birth control.There are several: condoms, vasectomy, abstinence, and have sexual relationships only when you have rock-solid trust in your partner.

| 1 | Did the "I stopped taking birth control and woops I'm preggers" thread scare you? Here's how my bf knows for certain that I'm on birth control.The point, for a lot of men, seems to be sex. I'm not saying that to down on men-- it just seems to be true that men will tolerate a lot of crap for access to hot women and/or sex. | /r/MensRights | 09/02/11 09:09 AM |
| 3 | Converted.You have given a very interesting answer and I will certainly give it some thought... But I wonder how this subreddit is any different than any other in the way you describe it: "A lot of people stumble into this subreddit and just start talking about their own beliefs. Most of the time, they present arguments that have been gone through thousands of times before." Does this mean that the newcomers are unwelcome to ask questions that have been asked before? I don't know, in theory I agree with y… | /r/MensRights | 24/12/10 09:12 AM |
| 0 | Women's sexuality gives them, and the state, almost unlimited power to control men. As long as women are free to use their power of sex to exploit men, then all the things we resent in women will continue and get worse.I'm really glad that you came here to say that. | /r/MensRights | 24/12/10 12:28 AM |
| 1 | Women's sexuality gives them, and the state, almost unlimited power to control men. As long as women are free to use their power of sex to exploit men, then all the things we resent in women will continue and get worse.And the blog rant also makes it seem as though Single Mothers are some kind of vast conspiracy to control men through their dicks and bring down the glory of our civilization. People really believe this shit??!!! | /r/MensRights | 24/12/10 12:24 AM |
| 3 | Women's sexuality gives them, and the state, almost unlimited power to control men. As long as women are free to use their power of sex to exploit men, then all the things we resent in women will continue and get worse.Nor has it helped much that one of the major commentators to this post has decided to ban THREE other users from some other subreddit that he and he alone moderates/created (apparently) because of what these 3 users were saying on this page. Truly, if it's a circlejerk, please make that clear so those who might want to think intelligently about these issues and respond to completely inflammatory posts will just not waste our time. There is useful stuff in /r/MensRights and real people go there l… | /r/MensRights | 24/12/10 12:21 AM |
| 2 | Women's sexuality gives them, and the state, almost unlimited power to control men. As long as women are free to use their power of sex to exploit men, then all the things we resent in women will continue and get worse.He also banned me for the same reason from the same subreddit as CheshireIsBack. So my question is: can HE be reported by all three of us for banning users based on stupid reasons? He hasn't bothered to respond to my request for a reason for banning me from some other subreddit he moderates. | /r/MensRights | 24/12/10 12:18 AM |
| 1 | Converted.I have a question about the "bad rap" thing. I recently commented in a post questioning and challenging some highly offensive and unsupported remarks and then was banned from another subreddit called "men's studies" (by its moderator) that I've never even visited. This has left a sour taste in my mouth about the whole community surrounding "men's rights" on reddit. If I want to participate, what should I do to avoid retaliatory actions? What I said in my comment was certainly WAY MORE TAME than … | /r/MensRights | 23/12/10 11:45 PM |

| 1 | Women's sexuality gives them, and the state, almost unlimited power to control men. As long as women are free to use their power of sex to exploit men, then all the things we resent in women will continue and get worse.Did you get any response as to why? I've tried researching "banning" on reddit and have found very little to help me. It does sound like, however, that people can mount hate-campaigns to ban a user from multiple subreddits for nothing other than disagreeing with the hivemind-- and the automatic system will at some point then ban the user entirely from reddit. How lame is that? And there is a much simpler way to address a comment that is "inappropriate" (if it truly is) which is for multiple peop… | /r/MensRights | 23/12/10 07:13 PM |
| 2 | Women's sexuality gives them, and the state, almost unlimited power to control men. As long as women are free to use their power of sex to exploit men, then all the things we resent in women will continue and get worse.So is the point of this discussion just to circlejerk with other people who already "know" (that is, BELIEVE) everything you "know"? If you want people to align with your efforts to challenge the ways that men experience discrimination and prejudice, it would help if you were more gracious toward those who ask questions and request verifiable information. If all you want is a little club exclusive of those who dissent, question, and challenge-- take it off reddit and do it yourselves in another … | /r/MensRights | 23/12/10 07:10 PM |

What a fucked up generalization to make! Like single mothers aren't ever left in the lurch by the fathers who demonstrated their willingness to walk away? Like single mothers aren't ever women who get pregnant by choice using sperm donors? Like there aren't any men and women who agree she can have the child but he's not going to be involved? … | /r/MensRights | 22/12/10 10:45 PM |
| 1 | Seeing All Men as Predators - NYTimes.comInterestingly, I did some research once on female child sexual abusers and while few are caught, I don't for one minute believe they don't exist (sorry, no links, need to find them again). In fact, I think it is the same cultural bias that probably leads to them NOT being caught. We don't think that women abuse kids, we especially don't think women sexually abuse kids. The thing is, women abuse kids somewhat differently, even in the sexual realm, than men. And, the fact is, we just don't know. T… | /r/MensRights | 07/12/10 04:37 AM |
| 1 | Is it OK to deceive your spouse about your ability to have children?in a marriage, everyone has the right to the truth about things that impact their own life meaningfully. partners should figure out what this includes. one can assume that the OPs wife's life is meaningfully impacted by his lie since he admits that she wants children AND believes they are making a good faith effort to conceive. nobody has the right to have children. but nearly every adult human has the right to make the decision for themselves about that issue. and yes, the OP has a right to ref… | /r/MensRights | 03/12/10 06:51 AM |

| 1 | Can someone explain to me exactly how children are supposed to need their mother's care more than their father's (as seen constantly in parental custody cases).The first question is: What is the best arrangement for the child, period. I would NOT agree that divorce is a substandard arrangement for every child. If there is abusive behavior between partners, regardless of whether or not the child is a "direct witness" (hears or sees the interaction), then the partners need substantial help to change their dynamics because continuing the behavior is clearly NOT in the best interests of the child. If they cannot or will not change their behavior, then divo… | /r/MensRights | 28/07/10 12:31 AM |

| 1 | Can someone explain to me exactly how children are supposed to need their mother's care more than their father's (as seen constantly in parental custody cases).The supply of milk in breastmilk banks is generally pretty low and its reserved for babies in high need who can't be breast fed due to medical issues, such as babies who were born too prematurely for moms to develop lactation properly or babies who have medical conditions of the mouth that make it impossible for them to nurse. This is not an answer for nonemergencies such as divorce/separation situations. In those situations the two parents need to be helped to be grown up enough to make the dec… | /r/MensRights | 24/07/10 09:04 PM |
| 1 | Can someone explain to me exactly how children are supposed to need their mother's care more than their father's (as seen constantly in parental custody cases).Some babies do NOT accept a bottle ever. Or, if they do, they begin to reject the breast. The evidence is overwhelming that breast milk is the best possible nutrition for the first 6 months of life. IF the mother wishes to provide this, then decisions should be made that make this possible, for the child's long term health. For ever baby, mother, and father, the right decisions will vary. I was lucky that my baby took immediately to breast, bottle, and pacifier and that my husband was able to be… | /r/MensRights | 24/07/10 08:55 PM |
| 1 | Can someone explain to me exactly how children are supposed to need their mother's care more than their father's (as seen constantly in parental custody cases).Any developmental specialists/psychologists on this thread? A couple people have mentioned early childhood attachment. I'll elaborate. Women are not by nature "better caregivers" than men. That's far too essentialist an argument and goes against everything that feminism stands for. That being said, mothers in our society provide the majority of care during infancy and early childhood. Therefore, kids' primary attachments are too the mothers. This does not have to be this way. Modern attachment t… | /r/MensRights | 24/07/10 08:46 PM |
