10	We at MensRights would like to celebrate international womens day because in contrary to popular belief we're not anti women! At this point you're playing semantics. Feminism has a dictionary definition–yes. Fine. Mens Rights is in line with the definition of feminism. In practice, people who call themselves feminist have also said really shitty things about men, including things that are not about equality at all. That's what this parent comment was referring to. Even moderate, non-radical people who call themselves 'feminist' often don't give two shits about the disproportionate male suicide rate, the majority of job…	/r/MensRights	08/03/18 04:07 PM

2	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women Yes, that's why I was so confused. Their argument is shit.	/r/MensRights	08/02/18 11:08 PM
2	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women Are you familiar with different types of employees earning different salary amounts or say, a cashier earning less than an executive officer? It's a dumb argument. Really dumb.	/r/MensRights	08/02/18 08:36 PM
5	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women Yes, and if you read it, it's a ridiculous lawsuit. Female store employees are upset that employees working at the distribution center (which tend to be male) earn more. That's it. Those are entirely different jobs. This is what their lawyer said: ‘In terms of equal worth to the company there really should be no argument that workers in stores, compared to those working in distribution centres, contribute at least equal value to the vast profits made by Tesco, which last year had group sales of …	/r/MensRights	08/02/18 08:29 PM
1	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women Example distribution job listing Example cashier job listing Those are two entirely different jobs with different responsibilities.	/r/MensRights	08/02/18 08:27 PM
1	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women it's not fine that cashiers aren't paid as much as warehouse workers Yes it is, if the warehouse work is different and more labor intensive (which, it is). That's just an absurd argument. Of course cashiers can be paid less, they do much less work compared to physical labor jobs.	/r/MensRights	08/02/18 08:24 PM
1	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women Warehouse work is not the same thing as being a cashier at all. Are you serious? And some jobs favor physical attributes. Not their fault that one sex tends to be taller, etc. Work needs to be done and it just so happens some people are better at it, are you genuinely going to complain when they favor those people?	/r/MensRights	08/02/18 08:21 PM
2	Good to see this in public media! I disagree. Feminism as practiced (in general) cares for equality only when it benefits women. Again, I’m not looking at definitions, I’m looking at the actions of people who call themselves as such. Egalitarianism is what I believe is True equality, not just when it benefits a (traditionally minority) group. I’m not a feminist because I believe in True equality, not closing down conferences with blind submissions because the judges blindly happened to pick all male candidates. (Legit happened, …	/r/MensRights	07/02/18 07:31 PM
1	Good to see this in public media! Look, at some point we, as a society, have to acknowledge that feminism as a definition and feminism as modern practice are completely different. It’s not semantics to call yourself an egalitarian versus feminism, despite usage of prescriptivist arguments about theoretical definitions. It’s *fundamentally different, hence why I am technically a feminist, I will never call myself that. Just an egalitarian.	/r/MensRights	07/02/18 07:18 PM
5	Aziz Ansari accused of being a creep and not picking up "non-verbal cues" Maybe, maybe not. Who has the right to say based off of 1 allegation? If more people start stepping forward, then let’s re-evaluate.	/r/MensRights	14/01/18 03:02 PM
1	I work as a teacher for a Coding Club for children. They no long accept boys into their classes. What can I do?? If you're gonna troll, do it right at least. 3/10 obvious troll is obvious.	/r/MensRights	27/11/17 07:56 AM

7	I work as a teacher for a Coding Club for children. They no long accept boys into their classes. What can I do?? You don't make the world a better place by doing bad things out of spite. You set an example by doing things right. In this case, it means hosting an equal opportunity classroom of boys and girls. Not going down to their level and being petty, fucking about with childrens' education in the process. Is that who you want to be?	/r/MensRights	27/11/17 04:29 AM

1	Are men being held to higher ethical standards then women? Yes, [some] women get upset when they get held to the same standards we hold men to. I noticed this the other day actually, where a friend of mine accused me of sexism shaping my views towards Hillary. I was simply holding her to the same standards I'd hold a male politician to. But because Clinton is a woman, egalitarianism must be sexism. This isn't new behavior either. I have this study archived: "Lay misperceptions of the relationship between men's benevolent and hostile sexism" by Amy W.Y. …	/r/MensRights	20/11/17 04:22 AM
1	How, if You’re a Man, to Deal With the Fact That You’re Probably Trash We are all complicit. We are all agents of patriarchy, and we’ve all benefited from it. Speak for yourself. Why do these people always speak in black and white terms? I was having a conversation with someone the other day and they also tried to reduce a complex, faceted issue into either "for"-"against". It boggles my mind because just about nothing in this life is truly black and white.	/r/MensRights	20/11/17 01:57 AM

1	Feminist business owner burned out on hiring female employees. Rare honesty. It's because it was hosted by someone else, who staunchly believes women and men are exactly, 100%, the same minus genitalia.	/r/MensRights	16/11/17 10:28 AM
8	Literally Hitler... Says the guy willing to irreversibly and painfully lop off a sensitive part of his son’s genitalia, for aesthetic reasons. That’s pretty fucked up and IMO circumcised penises actually aren’t nicer looking aesthetically.	/r/MensRights	13/11/17 04:16 PM
1	Our problems began when we attempted to publish our findings Because it was culturally ingrained by Dr Kellog of the corn flakes. Same dude said we should put acid on vaginas. So the majority of the population right now is circumcised but it seems public sentiment has been shifting over the years.	/r/MensRights	07/11/17 12:07 AM

3	Cosmo says it's bad that men get turned on during sex... To most people if you say I’m republican it means you support the current Republican Party / platform. Which isn’t necessarily true. And if you mention that in parts of Reddit you’ll be torn to shreds because people have a mental image right now of the term republican, thanks to the GOP / Trump. I don’t agree or disagree, I’m just noting how I see people react to the term. Same with democrat, people just start assuming a lot of things. My point was Sanders used the term absolutely correctly. In …	/r/MensRights	04/11/17 02:36 PM
3	Cosmo says it's bad that men get turned on during sex... Doesn't matter what you call yourself, if you support the equality of the sexes then you are a feminist It absolutely matters, because people define each other by labels. For the same reason, I do not call myself a republican, libertarian, democrat, socialist, etc, regardless of what I support. As an example, Sanders lost a lot of potential older supporters because he used the word socialist. They may have definitions, but they also have social connotations and implications, etc, due to outside …	/r/MensRights	04/11/17 12:23 PM
1	Cosmo says it's bad that men get turned on during sex... You're arguing using theory and definitions, I'm arguing using real life examples of how people act in real life. People who call themselves feminists, and use that branding, regardless of whether they're sexist, or not. I'm an egalitarian but I will never call myself a feminist [despite agreeing completely with the theory]. Doesn't matter what the textbook definition is, people clearly ignore it, and the label is completely charged. You can argue theory all day and to the moon and back. People …	/r/MensRights	04/11/17 10:38 AM
5	Cosmo says it's bad that men get turned on during sex... Unfortunately that term is quite charged now, as everyone from moderates to extreme radicals uses it. If someone calls themselves a "feminist" you have no idea where on that spectrum they are without further info. Of course most people agree about equality. But that still leaves the extremists who unfortunately abuse that in things like legislation and policy that end up directly affecting people. That's why I want the term "Egalitarian" to be in vogue. There's simply no way to be a "radical Ega…	/r/MensRights	04/11/17 09:36 AM
1	Cosmo says it's bad that men get turned on during sex... The Feminist party in Sweden is fighting for men to have more maternity leave. For men to have the ability to abort their responsibility of a child (like women have). Do I look like I live in Sweden? Check out the contrasting attitudes between the USA on those topics and other countries. Also, Sweden temporarily changed snowplow paths because they apparently were "sexist". That's the other thing about postmodern feminism- anything and everything is sexist. Me existing as a white male is sexist. …	/r/MensRights	04/11/17 09:19 AM
1	Cosmo says it's bad that men get turned on during sex... Modern feminism has little to do with equality of the sexes. It only is about giving women things but completely ignores things when men are disadvantaged because of their sex. It’s called a double standard. Nobody gives a shit about young boys’ education or that the school system doesn’t really work for them as well as it does for young girls. Modern Feminists don’t care about the issues fathers face in the divorce and visitation system, being totally biased. Feminists don’t acknowledge that wo…	/r/MensRights	04/11/17 04:43 AM
9	Why America must stop circumcising baby boys and start viewing it as mutilation I don't have to go out of my way to clean dick cheese Why does it seem like every single cut person brings this up? The dick cheese meme is greatly over exaggerated.. Literally just shower.	/r/MensRights	03/08/17 05:52 PM
1	University offers the first ever scholarship for men, in Vet Science a course with over 90% female students. The feminists have a furious meltdown It's harder to poison a term like egalitarian when the name isn't based on "feminine". That name implies everyone, including white males, whereas modern feminism has never really strived for that kind of equality.	/r/PussyPassDenied	12/02/17 05:16 PM
3	University offers the first ever scholarship for men, in Vet Science a course with over 90% female students. The feminists have a furious meltdown How its seen or perceived is not a redefinition. I already said that I acknowledge that this does not apply to all people who call themselves feminists, but it does occur pretty often, and the people who are militant in this regard are the ones making insane policies that we get affected by.	/r/PussyPassDenied	11/02/17 10:13 PM
6	University offers the first ever scholarship for men, in Vet Science a course with over 90% female students. The feminists have a furious meltdown And those people who are more militant are the ones affecting policy change / creation and breathing down people's necks at universities. So yes, that subgroup does reflect back overall when you see insane policies or backlash towards anything that benefits males whatsoever. Where are the militant men's rights activists at universities offering courses for women to discuss their "toxic femininity" and how they can deconstruct it to better fit into society? Conflating TRP & Mens Rights is complet…	/r/PussyPassDenied	11/02/17 08:55 PM
–	University offers the first ever scholarship for men, in Vet Science a course with over 90% female students. The feminists have a furious meltdown I never redefined anything. Over time I've observed different members of the group act and it's been pretty consistent. Like I said, I acknowledge not all feminists are bad, but in my personal opinion I would never conflate the terms feminism and true equality. I always have to be wary.	/r/PussyPassDenied	11/02/17 08:33 PM
–	University offers the first ever scholarship for men, in Vet Science a course with over 90% female students. The feminists have a furious meltdown It's true that not all feminists are anti male and we get that, but feminism as a term, in the context of men's rights, is often a negative one. Usually "feminists" are the people doing things like asking men to analyze their "toxic masculinity" attacking us when we attempt to address men's issues. I'm not saying you are part of this, but it's why a lot of us dislike the term "feminism". I personally just say I fight for true equality, or I'm an egalitarian. Feminism, in my opinion, often does n…	/r/PussyPassDenied	11/02/17 08:07 PM
10	This double standard infuriates me Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I myself had a rare defect, phimosis. But you have to agree that for the vast majority of children this simply is not the case. If you are in pain it's one thing, it's completely another thing to do an irreversible procedure to someone who cannot consent just because. That is what makes it unethical.	/r/MensRights	31/01/17 05:35 PM
3	This double standard infuriates me Oh, you can't read reddit comments? Then here's an analysis of the study you seem to base everything on.	/r/MensRights	31/01/17 05:25 PM
5	This double standard infuriates me I edited it, for some reason the mobile link didn't work. Secondly I agree in general about huffpo, but I said it was an analysis of the study, you utter moron. The article itself links to the study. And for huffpo, it was a pretty decent article. But I imagine people like you assume everything and don't even give it a chance.

1	This double standard infuriates me Then here's an analysis of the study you seem to base everything on. Small sample size, and the findings do show that the foreskin has sensitivity. Someone who's circumcised will never have the sensation of the foreskin back and forth across the head. Stop supporting this bullshit.	/r/MensRights	31/01/17 05:08 PM
12	This double standard infuriates me So their accounts don't matter at all because they disagree with your views. It's common sense, and regardless if you want to believe it or not, it's still an unethical, non reversible procedure being performed without consent on a child. Go fuck yourself if you truly support that.	/r/MensRights	31/01/17 05:00 PM
17	This double standard infuriates me You can read the accounts of adults who've undergone the procedure. And really, how can someone who was cut at birth tell the difference? It's bullshit that there is no sensation difference. Your skin literally becomes hardened mate, keep believing that.	/r/MensRights	31/01/17 04:49 PM
16	This double standard infuriates me Sensation is decreased, because your penis keratinizes (hardens a bit) because there's no longer a protective foreskin. This procedure is unethical, and anything it might provide is not worth it.	/r/MensRights	31/01/17 04:44 PM
