3	"Sorry, dudebros: Sarah Silverman’s “sorry, it’s a boy” Super Bowl ad isn’t sexist" 1 day after praising SNL for attacking sexist SB ads vs women It’s a poor justification to say that Silverman’s joke is acceptable because it’s “just a joke” ...in a world where a tangential joke at the expense of men yields online outrage that overlooks the realities of systemic sexism, it’s pretty easy to see why Silverman would have seen a need to tell it. So, it's 'just a joke' is a poor excuse, but that's basically the excuse you're going with?	/r/MensRights	04/02/15 12:56 AM
2	reddit admins holding "meetings had with experts, activists, victims, lawyers, community managers, founders" It was public at one point, but changed to private. I'm not sure they understand what an Open Letter actually is. And judging by the deleted comment it looks like any open discussion will be shamed and ignored.	/r/MensRights	04/02/15 12:32 AM
3	reddit admins holding "meetings had with experts, activists, victims, lawyers, community managers, founders" And if you want to talk about harassment, you'd have to go after SJW crowd too. No they wouldn't. They could just ignore harassment from people who agree with them politically. These are the same people that think Anita is the only person to be harassed online, and that men are never the victims.	/r/MensRights	04/02/15 12:29 AM
1	Women have fits because U. of Va. sororities are banned from frat parties this weekend, but the ban is the only logical response to the "rape culture" hysteria The sororities can get the cheaper insurance rates by just going to the frat parties, kind of a win-win situation them (although they do give up drinking on their own turf). However, if frats stopped paying extra, there wouldn't be any parties (or at least non-underground ones). So why do frats find it worth it? Partying and hooking up is fun. Guys have traditionally been the ones paying for dates, so it's kind of an extension of that gender dynamic. Guys pay for the opportunity to hook up with …	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 11:52 PM
3	In Response to Radical Feminists and false allegations, Dartmouth to Ban Hard Liquor, and and provide male students more extensive training on not raping women. Prohibition will works this time! I have a good feeling about it.	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 05:10 AM
1	What Silicon Valley thinks of women. - Bias and harassment are endemic in her profession. All these creative women are prevented from making great startups Male VCs who don’t have female professional peers are especially difficult to pitch on products that serve a female market. “Dozens of times, women have come and told me, I pitched to a firm and what do I hear over and over, ‘Oh, I will go home and ask my wife about it,’” Man admits ignorance and asks wife's opinion on something marketed towards women. Such patriarchy!	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 05:06 AM
8	Women have fits because U. of Va. sororities are banned from frat parties this weekend, but the ban is the only logical response to the "rape culture" hysteria I think's it funny how some schools have revoked charters from some fraternities and feminism was silent about that (even though feminism means equality for everybody?) But the moment sororities get told to not go to frats, it's suddenly a huge gender issue. Apparently removing the right of men to even be in a frat is okay, but don't you dare limit anything a sorority can do.	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 04:36 AM

2	Sorority Anti-Rape Idea: Drinking on Own Turf Ok one more thing, Antonia Abbey, a professor of psychology at Wayne State University, said that so many sexual assaults had occurred away from frat parties that colleges should improve educational programs and crack down on all drinking, regardless of gender or venue. Geeze, one paragraph of somebody who is actually intelligent is all they can afford? Everybody else is just pushing their anti-male bias and isn't concerned with improving the problem, and they get nearly the entire article devote…	/r/MensRights	21/01/15 07:06 AM
2	Sorority Anti-Rape Idea: Drinking on Own Turf Seeing as men get raped just as much as women... It sounds like they're trying to make it easier for women to rape men. Edit: One more thing Parties hosted by sororities, many suspect, would probably be more tempered. Yup, just bash males and continue the stereotype that women are wonderful and evil only comes from men. Thanks equality!	/r/MensRights	21/01/15 06:59 AM
7	As men's rights activists, do you support the rights of trans men? We [MRAs] don't generally actively fight for LGBT causes (unless they are somehow specific to men's issues as well) here, but that doesn't mean people here oppose them either. I hope it stays this way. I don't want group to monopolize the "equality" debate. I like having multiple smaller groups all advocating for positive change than in one group dictating what is acceptable to talk about.	/r/MensRights	21/01/15 06:50 AM
5	I can't help but thin that if "men's rights were replaced by "feminism", there would be a shit-storm/downvote brigade I also feel it was created as a way to oppose feminism. Like "They have feminism... we need something too!" Is there anything wrong with men wanting their own safe space to talk about genders? Apparently so!	/r/MensRights	01/01/15 10:07 AM
1	Feminists are using this paper to justify Teach Men Not to Rape campaigns, because some of the men answered "yes" to one or more question. Did more men than women answer "yes"? We don't know, because women were never asked. You said when someone gets raped, it's an "alcohol problem". You're still making stuff up and refusing to even acknowledge me as a human being. You'd rather just turn into a straw man so you can continue to feel morally superior to yourself. Congrats.	/r/MensRights	28/12/14 04:56 AM
1	Feminists are using this paper to justify Teach Men Not to Rape campaigns, because some of the men answered "yes" to one or more question. Did more men than women answer "yes"? We don't know, because women were never asked. And that is a true statement. Campuses do have an alcohol problem. Or is doing drugs until you pass out and/or vomit not a problem? You still claimed that I said that people getting drunk is the cause of rape. Which you're still making up.	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 09:04 AM
1	Feminists are using this paper to justify Teach Men Not to Rape campaigns, because some of the men answered "yes" to one or more question. Did more men than women answer "yes"? We don't know, because women were never asked. All right then. I agree with all of this. But this is inconsistent with your earlier statement that I disagreed with, which is that people getting too drunk is the cause of rapes. Which I never stated... And you just made up. I'm gonna guess at the reason here, so here it goes. The reason you didn't actually listen to what I said is because you used a thought-terminating cliche (victim-blaming) and accidentally created a straw-man argument. This is the problem I have with many ideologies, it's t…	/r/MensRights	23/12/14 09:54 AM
3	This entire community needs to know these guys: they are the nation's foremost champions of wrongly accused college men Universities 'investigating' and 'adjudicating' felonies with no training Well they've been trained... Trained that men are not the victims of rape, and victims never falsely accuse.	/r/MensRights	22/12/14 08:57 AM
3	This entire community needs to know these guys: they are the nation's foremost champions of wrongly accused college men A couple months ago a White House Task-force on Sexual Assault on College Campuses (or something like that) stated that some colleges have been using one person as the investigator, judge, jury, and prosecution. And they found that it has had promising results. That's right, a group from the White House stated that removing all checks and balances and denying people constitutional rights is a good thing.	/r/MensRights	22/12/14 08:57 AM
2	Feminists are using this paper to justify Teach Men Not to Rape campaigns, because some of the men answered "yes" to one or more question. Did more men than women answer "yes"? We don't know, because women were never asked. I have to disagree with you there, that's some pretty clear victim-blaming. Bullshit. How is empowering people to take control of their lives victim blaming? I'm not saying we go up to rape victims and tell them everything they did wrong. But we should be teaching people how to protect themselves. And how to use drugs responsible. "Victim-blaming" has become a thought terminating cliche and as such, has become useless. Case in point, after stating it's victim-blaming (used with a negative connot…	/r/MensRights	22/12/14 08:45 AM

2	Karen Straughan gets shit-faced while ripping apart the "25 Invisible Benefits of Gaming While Male" video. Why is it that whenever Feminists say that that the privileged are unaware of their privileges, they never stop and think maybe they are a privileged group Because they have already decided that they are smarter and more educated than others, and have been indoctrinated by the feminist ideology. Feminism has presented the with only one side of the gender discussion, but it claims the have the whole truth. And if you disagree with them, they just call you ignorant of the real truth and that you n…	/r/MensRights	20/12/14 04:08 AM

We don't know, because women were never asked. As to how that got passed peer review is beyond me. They kind of answered that at the end when they're discussing the flaws. Nevertheless, the percentage of men in this sample who reported rape and/or attempted rape is quite consistent with percentages from other samples (e.g., Koss, Gidycz, & Wisniewski, 1987; Lisak & Roth, 1988; Mosher & Anderson, 1986; Ouimette & Riggs, 1998). So, because their results are what other flawed studies state they must have the truth.	/r/MensRights	20/12/14 03:42 AM
4	Feminists are using this paper to justify Teach Men Not to Rape campaigns, because some of the men answered "yes" to one or more question. Did more men than women answer "yes"? We don't know, because women were never asked. Participants in this study were 1,882 students at a mid-sized, urban commuter university where students are diverse both in age and ethnicity. So really, these results only apply to this specific college and not the population as a whole. Men were offered $3 or $4 to participate More sampling bias. I would guess that poor people are more likely to respond. I wonder is socioeconomic status has any affect on the statistics? Of the 1,882 men in the total sample, 120 (6.4%) met criteria for rape or …	/r/MensRights	20/12/14 03:40 AM
8	Yet another piece telling men they must adjust to women and not the other way round. It's extraordinary to me how much effort men put into trying to change for the benefit of women. It's frustrating that only one side is expected to change. It's well known that men and women communicate differently. But all these article do is assume that men are the cause of problems, and women are wonderful. It belittles men's communication style. Let's look at how men have handled women in the workplace. First, men are told that many men "belittle women." Ok fine, so men make adjustments (bec…	/r/MensRights	16/12/14 09:21 PM
10	Harvard Law Professor: Students Want Profs to Drop Classes on Rape Law Some students have even suggested that rape law should not be taught because of its potential to cause distress. The conspiracy theorist in me says that the reason they don't want it to be taught is because they just want to assume guilt. I know that's not the overall driving reason, but I think somewhere in the back of their heads this idea kind of just "sounds right" to them so they find reasons to rationalize their feelings. So, they rationalize it by saying it's to protect women from hearing…	/r/MensRights	16/12/14 09:06 PM
1	Nicaragua: Drugs and machismo are a dangerous mix: Men, competing for jobs in a global market have fewer opportunities than women. Focusing on protection of women seems easier than supporting charitie I understand the initial reaction when people mention things like encouraging a new masculinity because of how it has become tainted by academics to continually blame all the world's problems on men. However, every time we hear it we should not immediately stop listening and assume the worst about the person who used those words. This article is pro-male. In fact, your bolded statement is literally taking a quote out of context and using it to prove your pre-conceived notions, here's the next se…	/r/MensRights	16/12/14 09:02 PM

Say no to stud-shaming! :) Personally I'm still hoping for female physicists/astronomers showing solidarity online (à la "Stop making (prospective) female scientists look like weak spoilsports.") This is actually a really great point. Feminism has tilted the power in the workplace and given women a lot of power over men. This makes men less likely to socially interact with women, and less likely to become friends with them. And the best way to work your way up the corporate ladder is to be friendly with superiors and co-w…	/r/MensRights	16/11/14 08:31 AM

1	Shirtgate: The reason why we don't have any Zoe Quins or Anita Sarkesians drumming up that abuse and harassment is a big systemic problem is that men roll over and publicly apologize. She would also claim that the female frogs are actually male frogs with a pink bow on them. And thus, aren't true female characters. Same argument she used with Ms. Pac-Man.	/r/MensRights	16/11/14 08:25 AM

-1	Giving up: 40% women, 28% men, 39% youth don't want a job To boil down such a complex issue to "women don't want to do what men have always done" is infantile and obtuse. When did I ever make that statement? To shove words into a person's mouth is infantile and obtuse. I'm glad using big words make you feel like a true intellectual, but just because you read an article about the economy doesn't make you an intelligent person.	/r/MensRights	16/11/14 08:19 AM
4	Giving up: 40% women, 28% men, 39% youth don't want a job Try offering those people a living wage that provides true self-sufficiency and real professional development instead of a dead end non-career and watch them line up. Men have always made this sacrifice for the betterment of their families. Now that women are having to make the same choice society suddenly realizes how shitty of a choice it is.	/r/MensRights	16/11/14 08:06 AM
