I think that a great topic would be the loss of male identity as a result of over half a century of expanding feminism. I witness an army of men daily who seem lost and seem to have no soul or ambition. Our definition and context for a good life has been undone by feminist cultural ideology. How do men regain a positive, powerful, empowering identity that makes life bearable again within the context of a movement that rationalizes male subjugation as basic to its forward momentum. Discuss how, i…

It is very weird to me that women view "banging" men as a bragging right. While many men have the luxury to be picky now-a-days, there are still droves of men who will jump at the chance to stick it in any hole a woman offers. From my perspective, I would rather know how often she actually orgasms from these sessions (if at all). I would like to know if she feels used or validated when a 22 year old cums in her and never calls again. I would like to know if she feels accomplished for doing somet…

Good points. Recently there was a man and a woman who made a video on youtube asking women and men directly to have sex. All of the women said no and most all of the men said yes. I agree there is no collaboration on the part of men or women which could have created such a drastically different outcome. However, cultural, social or some other force causes women to turn down sex often while men accept it often. Do you have any thoughts on why this might be? Also, I am an older guy than many here.…

Men have shot themselves in the foot with creating the standard, with creating the stigma. With creating words like "whore, slut, loose, cheap, easy, hoe" In my personal experience, I have seen more women "slut shame" than men. For many men, sluts are a benefit. Perhaps not long term relationship material (because not many people "want" to increase their chances of being cheated on). Women collectively need to control access to sex in an effort to raise the SMV of women as a group. If large grou…

It's more due to the fact that feminists get a lot of fan mail if they don't crack down MRAs get that "fan mail" too, but feminists are welcome to debate here. I have seen srs and others post some pretty ugly comments in this forum and they are allowed to defend themselves until they are tired of the game. The point is, they were allowed their argument. I no longer have a desire to debate internet feminists. The real argument is going on in government. It is going on at the grassroots where laws…

It's pretty ridiculous that the only time I've ever had my opinions dismissed and censored should be in a feminist space. Anecdotally, I find it interesting that feminist "spaces" have a culture that is suppose to be respected and separate while male spaces are to be infiltrated and transformed. Protecting a male space is misogyny. Protecting a feminist space is feminism.

So you used a throw away account. That's cool. However, I am having trouble understanding why you would come to a relatively small sub with this type of request. Why not a larger sub with a larger audience? Are you aware that even participating here may be a part of your addiction cycle if in fact you do have an addiction at all? Try Google. At this point I am sure there is a growing body of both research and counselors who deal with any manner of internet addiction. Good luck.

If men had a protest and went bottomless, every bitch in town would have her iphone out snapping pics and giggling with the girls. It just is not very common to see public nudity. People respect their peers and families, not naked strangers. Priviledge has its limitations.

If men aren't capable of fighting back against government funded entities, does that really mean they've lost their masculinity? Yes, if it means that we are powerless against an entity that dictates the dirction of our adult lives. You do understand that an external definition of masculinity has been erased by institutionalized feminism? Groups of men or individuals define masculinity by what is workable in local conditions. Lots of things emasculates modern men.

If part of my personal definition of masculinity states that I cannot be the victim of abuse and retain my vision of masculinity then it is personally emasculating. I would argue that a lot of men feel emasculated by abuse. We tend to not talk about it for that very reason.

LOL, perhaps. However, it would still be an indication of immaturity to allow anything negative said about me (true or not) to compromise the integrity of my own self worth. Even with (if I had but I don't) a small penis, ugly face and no money, my children and family would still love me. My work could be meaningful and my relationships strong. If the abuse of school yard taunts could undo me, I was hardly anything of value to begin with. No? BTW, nice user name. Relevant?

The most interesting aspect of this story to me is the age of both people (50s?). This all seems so childish and immature for both their stature and ages. I am early 40s and could not even be bothered to entertain a woman saying these things about me. Sure, they would be somewhat hurtful and generally mean spirited, but overall, it would be beneath me to be concerned. I am glad he is fighting against being defamed, but if a 50+ year old woman said I had a tiny penis, I could only muster pity to …

Are you joking? I could be wrong, but I think Kombaiya was talking about war as a proxy for the agression between men of power who use the bodies of other men to fight for them. Similar to Bush on vacation or Obama playing golf while men are disfigured and die everyday from the casual decision of a "leader".

Most women are neither monogamous. True, but when they become single mothers, it pushes them to act like monogomy is the greatest thing since sliced bread because monogamy fits the female with child narrative as well as pacify a few insecurites. Women hate to be made to feel bad about themselves, be shamed or feel like they are outside of the group. From an evolutionary stand point, group dynamics and conforming to the rules of a social group mean survival to women. It used to be understood that…

There's nothing we can do about it. Under those circumstances, it would seem the best way to retaliate would be with profound participation on the part of the MRM. Most of the upvotes here are only a few points upvoted. We have 80k members of various ideologies. These dogs can bark at us, but we can surely defend our home turf and safe place. If we cannot defend it or fight for it, what good is it to have? I certainly want to have this space.

Every time I read about anti-porn laws or general discussions, they seems to be based on premise that porn is or can be degrading or humiliating to women. Why do I never see the argument that some people actually want to experience those states of being with a partner? It is not invalid to want to both experience humiliation in a safe way or view it from a safe distance. The assumption is made that banning this material will end a form of oppression. In fact, they will be repressing this urge or…

Wasn't shame the movie about the guy from NY that was a porn/sex addict? I thought that was a great movie, but not sure (If we are talking about the same movie) how it relates to the topic in the video. I think the video itself was great because it addresses concerns that many men in this sub are already well versed. It often helps to be validated from an external source. Can you explain the movie connection to the video as it relates to your post title.

I believe I know what you meant, however: When my boyfriend was 14 this 22 year old woman sent him naked pics, bought him alcohol, and propositioned him multiple times. means that something did happen. It may not have been physically sexual, but all of those actions were illegal. You cannot purchase or ply minors with alcohol (in the U.S.). You cannot send or supply minors with pornography or nude images. You cannot proposition a minor for sex. Imagine the reaction of most parents if they knew a…

Why do articles with female perpetrators often show a stock image of a similar weapon used in the crime or some quasi-humorous/violent image? I find it unfortunate that often the way our society deals with male victims is with humor or shaming rather than compassion. Could anyone imagine what would be said if at the begining of various rape articles where a woman was the victim, there was printed a massive, throbbing, veiny, penis as a reminder of how she was violated?

If the love isn't though, he would try to enforce his ideal on her and vice versa. Why would it have to be about force at all. It is a preference and he could simply seek a new woman that was a better fit for what he wanted. Why compromise when you can get what you do want in someone who already is that.

Didn't want her to go to school, didn't want her to work etc. Just for the sake of argument (the devils advocate type) I would ask is it permissible for a man to desire a traditional wife/gf? Is it ok for a woman to choose to not go to school and not work outside the home? Is it hatred for a man to want the same thing that some women freely choose for themselves? Is it hatred that most (my belief) women do not see a stay at home occupation for their husband as a invalid choice? Is it hatred that…

I agree that tact is reasonable. However, we are operating in an environment where men as victims are not seen as valid. Men talking openly, with no hint of aggression, is seen as misogyny. Tact? Sure, but we cannot walk on eggshells.

We're fighting an uphill battle though, as men and especially the MRM are stigmatized. Black people were and still are stigmatized Women were and are stigmatized Gays and lesbians were and are stigmatized All of these groups have made tremendous change in our own time. Social change means working through stigma, educating the ignorant and changing perception by being your real self.

By posting here yourself, do you actually think anyone outside this sub views you (personally) differently than those that you are calling misoginists? Do you actually believe that some of the people who post here have a hatred of ALL women? Do you believe misogyny is an acurate description of the behavior of anyone you have actually known? Is misogyny real in your opinion.

The survey, conducted by the Japan Family Planning Association, found that 36% of males aged 16 to 19 said that they had "no interest" in or even "despised" sex.

I would be interested to know who the originators of this event are. I know I am exposing my bias, but I somehow feel a female feminist is lurking deep behind the scene of this event. Women wear running shoes and work boots in addition to high heels. Why the heels? I feel it is an attempt to apply a feminine "fetish" clothing object males in an attempt to normalize feminization.

That statement is a shock to my conscience. I have not followed this story and am reluctant to, from some of the stuff I have read (too upsetting from my perspective). Although I have been with my daughter since birth, I could not imagine how he gave his child up to strangers (adoptive "parents"). My blood and DNA is all I need to know about who my child is.

Those comments are excellent. Even though I feel men are a long way off from defining a new core identity for ourselves as a group, I feel great knowing that the veil has come off for so many of us. There seems to be a shift in conciousness occurring. It is sad that so many have had to be a victim to the machine in order for us to finally see the failure of continuing on a dead end path.

I think the main point that she seems to be missing is that boys are in an identity crisis, not an economic crisis. When we are happy and satisfied with the world and ourselves, we can engage that world in a way that makes us ambitious and successful. When we have lost our path and definition of who we are in the world, nothing feels very much worth doing. Feminism and female centered education outcomes have created a world that puts boys at a disadvantage when competing against girls in almost …

Which is why a "lot" of women of color consider feminism a rich white woman's movement. Many poor and "minority" women are in a position that they still need a man, however, feminism has forever changed the landscape of relations between men and women.

I am leaning toward deliberate conspiracy. I seem to remember that early feminism saw marriage as an oppressive institution for women. It was one of the early goals of feminism to eradicate marriage. They sought to do this by creating "strong, independent and educated women" who knew better than to get married. The problem with that was that women at almost every income level still wanted to at least eventually get married. Yes they did create many women who detested marriage and or babies, but …

If redpill is concerned with the truth, then this is a truth. Without growing young healthy sluts, there would be no one for us eligible men to pursue.

Most people 16 and older can consent to sex, I am not disagreeing with you, but I am not sure this is the case in America. I believe in many countries outside of the U.S. it is legal to consent from 16+ but in the U.S. it is technically and legally a crime if you are more than 4 years older than a person below 16 (again, I could be wrong on those numbers).

Because if the teacher was attractive, the boy is more likely to have not been coerced into sex. By current law, it is impossible to have consentual sex with a minor. Any child that willingly has sex with an adult has still been raped no matter how dashing the assailant.

An interesting aspect that I don't see addressed here is how average to below average she looks.

Part of the problem here is that often the young girls want it just as bad or at least they would love to experiment with an older attractive man. The problem exists in part because there is a taboo against young women wanting and liking sex.

If young women were allowed to express, display and engage their desires, would prosecution of adult men be so harsh in these cases? These cases ange…

Until men start taking over responsibilities in the home, women will not be able to reach the highest positions in the public and private sectors.

If they can pull a sexual assault conviction out of this, I will never trust my instincts again.

Thank you for your reply. Since I commented on your post, I had a deeper look at that site and I think I better understand where you are coming from. The news stories are all about racial issues and how they affect white people negatively or white men specifically.

However, I do acknowledge that feminism has almost complete control of the democratic party, leftist thought and even atheist's (where ever they may gather).

I would agree, however I personally think there are more pressing concerns. The fields of psychology, education and more recently law, are becoming increasingly (or currently) dominated by women. While gender studies majors (which has male and trans focus etc) would have a means to interpret the culture evolving underneath us, men could be marginalized from defining that cultural evolution. If women control education of boys and girls, as well as the legal framework in which they exist, and the …

I find this idea to be interesting given the tendency for children of single mothers to be far more susceptable of crime across the board. I think, perhaps wrongly, that single mothers would be open to tell their children (sons) this this information. I would assume they would tell ther children not to murder, steal or any number of crimes, but other factors seem to overide the message. I further believe that passing this message on to sons will do damage. It identifies and profiles them as all …

I don't believe they are intentionally trying to surpass men, but it is happening. Not as a group no, but many individuals are wanting women to surpass men (and actively working toward that goal). I believe that a great deal of it is revenge, some of it is hatred and still others believe in the supremacy of matriarchy. To those who seek to surpass men, there is very little opposition because the core belief in this process is that no matter how much women achieve, they are still oppressed. Overt…

but I don't blame sexism for not having that angle. I do. I simply believe it is part of the larger problem of not making women responsible of the wrong they do by not talking about it. In my opinion, the entire issue of paternity fraud should be a criminal offense, but women face no danger and stand to benefit even from paternity fraud. While this may also be sloppy media, I would say that the desire not to hold women accountable for their actions is certainly a factor of omission.

The knee-jerk reply would be patriarchy hurts men too. What feminists seem to miss is that even if patriarchy were dismantled today, the basic differences between the sexes would still remain intact. Men would still get the deadliest jobs because they are the only people who tend to take them. Men would still be murdered more and still probably die earlier than women. The basic problem is that even if patriarchy is the system that benefits men most, it tends to actually benefit very few men. I b…

From the article, she stated that she aborted the child (if I read that correctly). My theory is that she is not as open with her current "boyfriend" about how much she has been cheating with her ex.

She (his ex partner) is not named in any story that I was able to search (did not look beyond a few shallow searches).

excessive terminology ("male bashing" for instance ) used on complete non-issues. You don't HAVE to be offended by every little meaningless comment/joke/meme.

On first glance, I would say that this is a fluff piece in the entertainment section of this news site.

Many of them will wise up as they make their way into the real world. Which is a problem of itself. If men are indoctrinated feminists until mid to early 30s then a significant amount of human capital is lost to the process. The only solutions are to have men actively involved in child rearing, education (formal) and more men receiving college level education. But, increasingly we are in fewer and fewer of these places and in smaller numbers.

This may be better dealt with in /r/deadbedrooms. Your gf may just have a lower sex drive than you. Could be that she likes the sex but you just don't do it for her.

I think you are right on this observation. I do however think that when men voice concern or a preference for a girlfriend/wife with a low number of past sexual partners, that is seen a slut shaming. I have no idea why that is not simply seen as a preference. It matters to a lot of men and women. While I can understand the need for women to fight against so called slut-shaming, I hope women can understand why a male would see them as lower valued in the sexual market place.

Both partners lose some autonomy and choice. Often husbands have more value after a woman has left him or after he dies rather than when they are together "in love". Just look at the divorce rate and general misery that marriage causes so many. Few marriages work and even the ones that don't end in divorce often range from unfulfilled to unhappy. Some couples remain happy and committed but I would "assume" they are the minority.

unrestrained pursuit of sexual pleasure will doom us all. I actually agree with you. However, it is not evil men or evil women who restrain sexuality, it is nature.

Thank you for providing these numbers. The concept of legal custody vs physical custody clouds this issue as well as the notion of joint or full/sole custody.

This makes sense once the child is born. However, the point of contention seems to be that the woman will always have the right to choose to abort a fetus with no regard for the wishes of the male. The argument is that men should have a period equal to a woman's with regard to opt-out of fatherhood. If she chooses to have the child on her own after that point, then it is her full decision and financial responsibility.

But I do know that the previous crisis that deconstructed the black family and greatly affected the black male will migrate to white men and eventually negatively affect white women as well. I will probably be dead by then but in the mean time I get to live in a world in relative shambles. I know no one who knows what the solutions are.

It seems like we are working ourselves into a situation that will take generations to correct. I have no idea what the world will look like 20 years from now, but it seems that the failure of modern men would almost necessarily exclude many of us from a seat at "the table".

Agree. Our sex drive causes us to take risks and seek out the company of women even against our best judgement. I am sure a lot of people here do not believe in a conspiracy against men but I cannot argue that there seems to be a structure to what may be seen as the downfall of American men. Books like "the end of men" or talk about the failure of boys in school or the man-session seem to point to a general bad time for men. From where, if anywhere, has all of these negatives come.

It may not be a true conspiracy with dark unseen forces working in the shadows, but I have to admit the changes that I have seen in society for men have been dramatic in my lifetime. Whether coordinated or not, the effect of losing our earning power, less education than women currently, fewer opportunities etc. would seem to be an effort of some type which has not been to kind to the male sex.

The normalization of no fault divorce and the benefits that it can provide to the women who initiate them seems to have been a boon too. It makes it harder to be a single parent and industries have grown to support the new fragmented family structure. In the end, it does make for a working class that has to keep working from pay check to pay check.

With a strong black family structure, I think it would have had a lot less impact. But there are many factors to the problems of black men particularly. A lot of our spirits are broken. We live in a world that often we don't want and has rejected us. We often are not seen as men except as a mythical "big black dick".

100 percent right from my perspective as well. I should have mentioned that. The black "family" today is approaching 80% single female dominance. It is safe to say that the black family is dead. Perhaps it has to do with the policies of offering benefits to women who have no male in the home or simply the cultural beliefs of black America. Life outside of Prison, higher education and generally fitting into the mainstream is almost an imposible thought to many black men for many generations.

It is my guess/understanding that male on male violence occurs at a much greater magnitude than male on female violence. The tragedy is that everybody seems to ignore male on male violence and accepts it as the status quo. I would further argue that women are a protected class in the west. The protection exists in the form of political, legal, social, and personal action typically administered by men in power who use their power over other men in an effort to protect women.

Please tell me your definition of what an actual man is? If you read this sub often enough, you would realise that the majority of us have women in our lives.

Any person that I have asked to define the phrase "man up" is incapable of doing so.

The world needs men. In fact, the world needs heterosexual men who tow the traditional line.

I believe that the sexual harassment charge is clear enough.

True. Seems best for everyone to just be polite. Media, money and advertising being what they are, however, polite doesn't come close to satisfying bottom lines or blood thirsty fans. Also, the speech is free on both sides.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say while this guy may be insensitive, I can appreciate his ability to directly argue taboo topics that actually do need some discussion. Rape or rather rape victimhood has become the epitome of feminist rage against all men, not just rapists. The idea of rape fear surpasses the finality of actual death in some circles of women. In our society, once you have raped, you are subject to the worst treatment our society can legally inflict. The reason I am writi…

While some of the bullet points expressed are somewhat valid (most are not in my opinion), most of what is written seems to be a wish to go back to things as they were. The old system really didn't work for men or women but society as a whole. Society needed men and women to function as they did to allow for the protection of children and growth of civilization. Women left the old system before men did but men are now seeing how unworkable it was for our lives. Today we have a legacy of stunted …

I have noticed that children will scream when they can't get what they want or they don't have the language to express their rage. Usually as a kid gets older, they will make a few last ditch attempts to scream and tantrum until finally it clicks and they realize it makes them look worse to scream than to accept the truth of not always having their way. The screams coming from people like the author of this piece of writing seems to be an acknowledgement that they realize their tactics, no matte…

Excellent video. There are some great insights that are shared on the topic. For some perspective, I was born in 1971 so I have been around as a lot of social changes have taken place. I have seen this dynamic occur in Men's locker rooms, all male learning institutions, private male clubs, education (in general), and countless other social areas where men could freely associate and share ideas. It seems to me that radical feminists believe that any group of males that exclude females will use th…

Seems like you are looking to be angry at someone today. For the record, not that I need to say it, but I am supportive of gay rights, same sex marriage and general freedom for anyone to be who they want to be. KaydenFox said that he was humiliated by the behavior he was subject to and stopped short of punching someone (just go back and read the parent thread). I felt I was being supportive of a guy who had been subject to bad behavior that made him angry, humiliated and ponder it for weeks afte…

Absolutely. Although the government has dumped billions of dollars onto programs and handouts, black males have gained almost nothing. So it is my opinion that money is not a real factor in black male recovery. Women have done exceedingly well due to a plethora of reasons which stem from social money and massive support fueled by legal force and the ability to adjust to social norms.

I agree with what you have said. I find it unique in the context of the topic discussion that black men and the gay community have historically been at odds. To that end, I believe that there is a complex psychology at work for black men which contains messages of how to be a man, then no means to achieve manhood which is then compensated with machismo which is expressed often as public hatred of gays while simultaeously positioned as the weaker sex socially and economically as it is defined tra…

Thank you for the reply. I did not mean to imply that your GF was evil. I was simply curious given your ordeal about the nature of her reaction after things went from bad to worse. Based on the way you told the story she kind of got the ball rolling that identified you as a target for the humiliation I believe you said you experienced. I don't believe she was trying to do anything malicious but I don't know her so I had to ask the author of the tale. Thanks for sharing and clarification.

I'm black. While I would not like to compare one person's suffering to another, I would say black MRAs have a unique perspective in America. The media and therefore mainstream culture almost exclusively paints us as Violent, stupid, animalistic and useful primarily as stud service. Our failure in education and social status has been cemented decades ago. Black women have far surpassed our ability to provide or exist on their social strata. When we are boys, a lot of people don't care about us in…

If the sexes were reversed, as we often say here, there would be hell to pay. If your girlfriend had been subjected to that type of treatment she would have been justifiably angry and received support from others. I'm curious, what was her reaction? She was the one who enabled others to humiliate and assault you. What was her reaction to all of this. Does she know you well enough to know that you may have been hurt by this behavior? Did she go to gay clubs infrequently or did she know what was g…

I can apprechiate your position on this question. However, I must respectfully disagree and maintain my own position. If I have an intent to ensure you get no sexual satisfaction for the rest of your natural life on earth while I violently target the part of your anatomy that (in my opinion) defines your sexuality then I see no clearer charge than sexual assault. No rapist can so totally dehumanize and control a victim as in the manner of a person who has your genitals in hand in a location othe…

Genital mutilation to the point of non-functioning penis or vagina is the most serious sexual assault to me. If my body is still intact after a rape, I can get my mind and freedom back even if it takes years. If someone cuts off my penis and it cannot be reattached, no matter how my mind adjusts to the sexual assault, I will never be the same. I often hear MEN (for crying out loud) and women say he should have his dick or nuts cut off after a male has done crimes less severe than rape even invol…

I think there is a deep unspoken fear of male anger and aggression in the western world which cause mens issues to be ignored. Sure, people love to control male power as police officers, military personel and prison inmates, but free men who raise their voice or hand in anger are frightening to many people. Based on the disposability, invisibility and accepted violence enacted against men in our society it would be unthinkable if we were not angry. Who suffers wound after wound and is still expe…

Just a heads up. Most places I go I am seen as a lady hater and a possible rapist before I open my mouth. A culture which values men would not impune us all as criminals simply by our sex alone. But this culture does. I honestly don't need to hear you dictate to men about what we should not do with our humor, love or hatred. No, two wrongs don't make a right but feminism, in my opinion, has been the most destructive force against modern men coming in a close third to war and cancer. I don't care…

I'm at work so I don't have the time or resources to get you an appropriate answer to your question. I did, however, want to say that often the forms of violence that women exhibit are either not considered "violent" or arrests/charges are never filed to be added to statistical data. Women often use direct violence to harm those who are weaker than them. Children and elderly husbands are subseptible to physical and psycological torture from their female "caretakers" but I doubt there is much evi…

Don't insult me with sarcasm. I don't believe women enjoy or take abortion lightly. The ability to have the right to not be a parent is a real MRA issue hence the subject of the post you commented on. I can understand you not agreeing with the argument but talking down or being sarcastic instead of arguing your point makes me assume you are a child. Perhaps a troll? Certainly not serious about this discussion. Good day to you "sir."

This issue isn't about after the child is out of the womb. The woman obviously has to abort before the child is born. It is during this time that the decision must be made by the man if he wants to be a father or not. What you call legal child abandonment by men seems a better situation than the legal murder of a viable fetus of women. It is not so odd a thing to think of abortion like pullling a tooth, but is was not always so simple. It would become just as easy for a man to "abandon" his chil…

Am I to understand that you are saying that men should be abstinent as the only control mechanism to prevent an unwanted child? Of course if women were told that they should not have sex as a method of birth control rather than an abortion I think you would have some pretty angry women yelling about sexism. The issue isn't about sex, the issue is about a man having the same right to choose not to be a parent. If he wants to go to college or if she was just a fling or any other number of similar …

Make no mistake that although this is a subreddit about men's rights, that many people have access to visit and comment. There are many people who have hateful and negative views of maleness in general even without the notion of a full-on movement for men. Much of the negativism that you see here may come from people who are articulate, smart and subversive against our rights and freedom to assemble. Subversion does not always present itself in the form of overt disdain or obvious tactics. Subve…

Yes, this is still, at least due to institutionalized sexism, a male "dominated" society. However, I must point out that the need for a sub-reddit such as this i.e. "Men's Rights" speaks to the fact that the domination or idea of such has diminished or vanished. Rarely do I venture anywhere today where I find male positive language without someone pointing out the feminine equivalent for "balance." I'm sure most of us here, male or female, can give numerous examples of the acceptable use of fema…

I believe what you are saying, however, I find it disheartening that at least 1000 out of 50000 men aren't hardcore activist at least as far as posting and commenting on issues relevant to them. I would hate for male life to get much worse in order to see a rise in men's rights participation.

I love reading this sub and r/conservative but find sub relevant comments lacking in both.

All very good points. I would only argue that the societal perception of women were a major issue facing women early in the women's rights struggle. Today, those perceptions are not completely gone but are variable based on situation. Women were perceived as weak, helpless and incapable of equal intelligence of men. These were seen as hard facts and not merely opinion. Today it would be considered "backwards" and ignorant to hold those same views. Perceptions were changed. However, today, women …

Your criticism is well taken. But, a few further points if I may. In my opinion, feminism has done far better in the market place of ideas than mens rights. What ever the reason (human history, social structure, etc) feminism can be expressed as "Man hating" and it works for women. Feminism can been seen as male supportive and it works for feminism. Some modern men do hate women and some modern women do hate men. I think it is ok to express that opinion. For some reason this sub seems to think i…

I have often seen male pro feminist ideas on this (MensRights) subreddit. I enjoy coming here to get a perspective on what I and many other men are feeling today. Often I see we are angry and feel like we need a place to vent or to have our grievances heard in a world with deaf ears to mens suffering.

I agree with what you have said here in terms of online discussion. But, all of the raised awareness in the world does men no good without the force of law. Ultimately what men need are people in the legal profession who have power and sympathy for mens issues. I do realize that goes beyond the scope of this subreddit, but it is a great place to organize such a structured movement. It doesn't matter if men are aware of womens issues or not because when the cops and the judges come, they will tea…

To be honest, in some ways I do. I would be lying if I said otherwise. For the longest time, men have not fought. We simply acquiesce to the wants and needs of women while thinking that they are less strong or less smart than "us." Our continued deferrals to the proclivities of women has done what for men? We have VAWA, no reproductive rights, forced infant circumcision (ok thats a side issue but still), fatherhood is all but meaningless in the mainstream, violent rape against men is a cultural …

True. It has been commented that men needed to become involved at the moment that our rights were being infringed by the women's movement. Men do not/did not need to counter women's right to vote. I spoke too generally.

I would like to respectfully disagree. A men's movement was needed on the first day that a women's movement was started. Men have been losing ground/rights in the gender "war" for more than 50 years now. To begin now is to begin behind unfortunately. Part of the problem is that men are not equal to other men although it seems to be assumed so. Higher status males have always had an advantage over lower status males. The women's rights movement have treated all males as if they are high status or…
