| 24 | My Sociology professor ranting against male domination of women - HELP!Welcome to the modern Sociology curriculum. My Soc 101 professor fed our class the old rule of thumb myth as a true fact, giving all her students a patently false understanding of legal history in order to perpetuate her gender segregationist ideology. People like this are why MRM and /r/MensRights exist. The lies of the Feminist Establishment have become too numerous and too transparent for society to continue to ignore. MRM has a long road ahead of it to bring and end to this, but at long last… | /r/MensRights | 16/11/11 03:35 AM |
| 1 | Tell me I'm being irrational...You are completely rational; and television critics actually had a lot to say about this very subject at the start of the fall season. Relevant article from a couple of months back: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/sep/21/mean-women-milquetoast-men/ | /r/MensRights | 16/11/11 03:12 AM |
| 1 | Men’s Rights Activists Are Spineless PussiesIs this site where the ridiculous leave-the-country MRA/MGTOW's come from? Wake up shit for brains, misandry is the order of the day in the majority of English speaking countries; and the country to experience it the most egregiously does not appear to be the US, but rather the UK, where sexual assault and domestic violence laws generally apply to women only and generally do not recognize female-on-male assault or rape as a crime. | /r/MensRights | 29/10/11 01:12 PM |
| 0 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirI am not talking about the "Freedom of Speech"/First Amendment per se, and don't believe I have once referred to it as such. This is more generally about open communication and the authority of an editor or publisher to control the content of what a writer writes. Mr. Elam is asking the editors of CafeMom to self-censor, which honestly probably will not do, and you have a point in that regard. But the fact that he is writing to them as a representative of MRM and flat out asking them to is not r… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 02:02 PM |
| 1 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirFree speech does not include the right to shout "FIRE" in a crowded movie theater. Fabian-Weber is inciting violence and mayhem. Your right on one count: Shouting "FIRE" in a movie theater is not protected by free speech. As I pointed out in another post in this discussion thread, it is in fact a crime. If that was the case, we need do no more than alert law enforcement and it would be handled as a criminal matter. That's just not the case here. The writer of this editorial doesn't actually inst… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 01:53 PM |

| -1 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirYou are completely baffling me, Mr. Elam. I respect you for the work you do on behalf of AVfM, but I've got to say I thought you were a great deal more sincere about the cause than this. Demanding for the editors of CafeMoms to remove one of their writer's columns because you find it unacceptable, is demanding self-censorship. If someone were in immediate danger it would be criminal threatening and we could get law enforcement involved. Instead of that, and instead of directing your missive to t… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 07:51 AM |
| 0 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirYou opened your initial response saying that you are squeamish about censorship. I wasn't aware that further proof of the intellectual dishonesty was necessary. Do we really want to go down the rabbit hole of trying to justify this, or this, or this? Because we have a long documented history of feminists using this approach to obfuscate the truth and control the conversation. If that's what AVfM stands for, that's fine, but call a spade a spade and own it. Advocacy is advocacy, and censorship is… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 07:14 AM |
| 0 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirPlease enlighten me Roland, what does Thomas Jefferson have to do with MRM? He was a diplomat, not a social reformer. He was dead 100 years before Feminism existed. It's amusing to say the least that you look to arbitrary historical figures to hastily make points about this CafeMom controversy, who have no bearing on the conversation at hand, and then entreat me to wake up? A riot, positively. ;) I am very much awake. I see the linked /r/Feminisms threads and screencaps here everyday where Ignat… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 06:48 AM |
| 2 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirI'll quote myself since it appears you didn't read my entire post: The blog's editors should be asked to post a retraction, condemning the writer's incitement to violence and making it clear to the writer and the readers alike that DV is not something to be celebrated in any form. Censoring the bigots doesn't make them go away, it only presents them the opportunity to delay their own badly needed reality check. There is much work to be done, and enforcing MRM's own brand of self-censoring politi… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 06:31 AM |

If the majority or even half of the first world female population decides to quit having children or even sex then what would men be left to do? Men in the third world will continue to breed explosively and father immense numbers of children year in and year out, no matter what social movements rise or fall, without any help from first world émigrés. You are confusing your ability to get laid, personally, with the ability … | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 06:23 AM |
| 7 | Women will always have more worth than men.It is more than plausible to believe that one day western women of childbearing age may say "fuck it" and stop giving us children. Sure a few of us can run to women from the third world, but how many? You are confusing your ability to get laid, personally, with the ability of the species as a whole to reproduce. Without any help from first world émigrés, the third world will always be an explosive center of population growth no matter what social movements rise or fall. I encourage you to read u… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 06:15 AM |
| 0 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirBut I have to ask myself how I actually feel about that as an ideal compared to the fact that men are being butchered and the Sharon Osborne's and even Cafe Moms of the world are facilitating an environment of social acceptability for it. It is, without any over statement, reminiscent of 1936 Berlin. And people remained silent or complicit then as well. They have their microphone, and you have yours! The open letter was completely justified, and in that regard you did the good work you've always… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 06:01 AM |
| 8 | Women will always have more worth than men.We may not see it in our lifetime, but I think that it's very possible for women to someday globally unite and decide to no longer have children or have consentual sex. There are 3.4 billion women on the planet Earth, speaking somewhere between 3000-6000 languages. Who is going to organize this strike exactly? And how are they going to address the massive logistical and communication challenges to ensure every member of the group knows what's going on and doesn't cross the picket lines? It's a f… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 05:50 AM |
| 1 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirImminent threats, yes, sure, in the extreme case where a specific and credible threat is made, expedient steps should be taken immediately to prevent the person from being victimized. That's when you get law enforcement involved. Expressing admiration for a violent butcher does not quite rise to that level of scrutiny. Take it to the logical extreme: If/When MRM swells into a mature, well-funded movement to rival feminism in its influence, and the AVfM's of the world patrol the communication cha… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 05:29 AM |
| -1 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirThat part is fine I guess, but per the line I quoted, Elam is asking the publisher to censor the writer. The calling out is 100% the right approach, I just don't think that removing the content after the damage has been done, and pretending like this never happened, is an appropriate way to deal with these things. | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 05:12 AM |
| 6 | Women will always have more worth than men.With that one choice women have the power to control and influence nations with complete authority. All they would have to do is not have children and there would be absolutely nothing we men could do about it. Only one problem: Biology. (Most) Human beings aren't mental exercises; they are human beings. Although Establishment Feminism shames them for it, some women are actually pleasant and not all that hung up on gender issues, don't go thermonuclear everytime a man sneezes without asking perm… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 05:05 AM |
| 1 | To the editors of CafeMom, The StirThus far, the question that Fabian-Weber posed to her readers, asking them if they felt that sexual mutilation is justified, has been removed, but the remainder of the post remains. This is unacceptable. Is... anybody else just a smidge uncomfortable with this approach? MRM is asking writers to self-censor now for the sake of political correctness? This is Establishment Feminism's #1 weapon for controlling the public dialogue around sexism. I honestly don't think we can beat them at their own ga… | /r/MensRights | 28/10/11 04:24 AM |

RO dismissed. I get her back on the lease with the dismisal. You can be excused from a lease because you applied for a restraining order against your roommate? That is severely fucked up.

To one degree or another, most of us are happy with our gender identities and are more interested in reforming certain social and legal norms in the here and now that are prejudicial to us as men and fathers.

Where all of the preconceptions and notions about what gender is or isn't are thrown out the window. Agree 100%.

| 1 | "Horrendous act of evil": Cops say S.C. woman Susan Hendricks killed family for insurance moneyI've got to ask: How does posting this story on Reddit - encouraging other users to read the news and know their world - constitute "attacking women"? That's ridiculous. Who's saying that all women are like that? That the crime is in anyway gender-linked? The fact that you have a problem with the story of one woman killer being recognized and spread speaks volumes about the double standard at play in our culture.

Too often both groups are undeservingly tarred and feathered with prejudicial notions of being predisposed to crime and violence and presumed guilty without any actual evidence demonstrating our presence or participation in a crime.

If you want to argue for guys to not be assholes, you will find it more productive to do so in a dating subreddit. It's not a social justice matter, and doesn't fall within the realm of MRA issues.

| 4 | Are the MRA antagonists mentally unstable people?Class is a valid lense through which we can evaluate these issues also. But that glosses over the essence of what we're discussing here: The statistical disparity that exists in high-earning professions which benefits men and feminists call "patriarchy", has the exact opposite statistical disparity at the bottom of the socio-economic scale to the disadvantage of men.

That's because a false accuser does not have feelings of shame/devaluation/trauma preventing them from saying they were raped.

| 2 | Why "Slut Walk" is Wrong and What We Can Do About ItThe thing is, the Constable who created all this backlash was the campus sexual assault specialist and should be a better judge of that than any of us armchair experts on the sidelines. He wasn't just some rookie cop with "opinions" shooting his mouth off about crime. He was the guy the city police put on campus to inform female students about sexual assault.

If you want to wear attention-grabbing slutty clothes, don't do it where heavy drinking is taking place and/or you're not sure you can trust strangers to keep their hands to themselves.

The role in preventing rape from happening is less clear. This was the point the arch villian of the slutwalks, Constable Sanguinetti, was trying to convey to the women attending his campus safety lecture when they flipped their shit and started organizing marches.

| 6 | Feminists Angry over Weinergate because men's sexuality isn't tolerated in our culture. Wonder why? Must be because women are sex objects, couldn't possibly be due to feminists claiming men are rapists.i'm saying, this is not even an issue of sex/gender as much as it is politics and a way to throw a liberal out of office. I'm not disagreeing with you there. Sex scandals, however minor they might be, have been part of gotcha politics since at least the Kennedy administration. But politics don't exist in a vacuum. Politics are able to take advantage of completely consensual and noncriminal transgressions like Wiener's because the wider culture condones slutshaming. Both variables at at play at t… | /r/MensRights | 08/06/11 08:29 PM |
| 1 | Presumed guilty until proven innocent; Even then you’re still guilty“When a father can be sentenced to months in jail for simply leaving a gallon of milk on his child’s doorstep, we have indeed reached the point of ‘hysteria’ about the issue of domestic violence,” ACFC executive director Michael McCormick commented. Ew? :\ | /r/MensRights | 08/06/11 07:03 PM |
| 7 | Feminists Angry over Weinergate because men's sexuality isn't tolerated in our culture. Wonder why? Must be because women are sex objects, couldn't possibly be due to feminists claiming men are rapists.how is this ANY issue to feminism? Establishment feminists tell MRAs all the time that feminism is about equality, and that we should disband MRM and become feminists because they will look after us while MRM will just lead us into temptation and misogyny. If feminism is about equality, then feminists ought to be standing up for Wiener's right to sexual agency, and speaking out against the media's largely successful campaign to shame him for non-criminal behavior. This is a current issue for fem… | /r/MensRights | 08/06/11 06:52 PM |
| 4 | Feminists Angry over Weinergate because men's sexuality isn't tolerated in our culture. Wonder why? Must be because women are sex objects, couldn't possibly be due to feminists claiming men are rapists.Have been waiting for the right article to appear online to post to the subreddit regarding this event. The reaction is just too mindblowing between the way the media depicted crowds of women marching in public in their underwear a month ago, and one politician posting some photos of himself in his underwear on the internet. Dr. Drew was even on HLN Monday night saying Wiener must have a severe sex addiction and needs to obtain immediate treatment before he self destructs and tears his family do… | /r/MensRights | 08/06/11 03:05 PM |
| 2 | Two WOMEN ticketed for being childless and eating doughnuts in a playground [IAE surprised about this?]I'm going to go ahead and go with the second one. I have been unfortunate to catch pieces of the Casey Anthony trial where her attorney is claiming child sexual abuse as an explanation for the wild social life she carried on while the daughter was missing, and I just don't see any light at the end of the tunnel for the time being. | /r/MensRights | 07/06/11 07:39 PM |
| 1 | Question about believing alleged rape survivorsI guess I'm trying to figure out a way to combine how I feel in sympathizing with an alleged survivor with maintaining objectivity and fairness in conversations outside the realm of providing support to survivors, it that makes sense. It's a challenging question that I believe we as a society are in desperate need of reconciling. Unfortunately huge segments of American society choose to advocate for female victims and slander or shame any men who point out the double standard. I think I speak fo… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/11 10:43 PM |
| 1 | Question about believing alleged rape survivorsHow would you term/not even term a survivor of sexual assault? I know the point is vague, but the point I'm trying to make here isn't that a given is valid or invalid in any specific circumstances. We're speaking in generalities, not specifics here, right? To my understanding, there are a few different categories of "people" (let's be clear here: women, under current social and legal circumstances) who press charges and receive treatment and counseling for rape: On one end of the spectrum are th… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/11 10:14 PM |
| 1 | Question about believing alleged rape survivorsI use the word survivor because survivors of sexual assault sometimes find it more empowering than the word "victim," though I leave it up to the person to determine how they define themself. Empowering on a purely emotional level, in a vacuum so to speak, or because the choice of words garners more sympathetic and potentially enriching responses from the people around them, in the absence of any knowledge whatsoever about her assault? Food for thought from an MRM POV. | /r/MensRights | 06/06/11 08:44 PM |
| 1 | Question about believing alleged rape survivors1)avoiding victim-blaming, This is impossible in the current hyper-gendered state of American society. Turn on the Caylee Anthony murder trial for a few minutes: Her primary defense at this point is that her daddy (allegedly) forced her to perform sex acts on him when she was a little girl. As if that in anyway proves guilt or innocence in the slaying of her daughter! This is real life! This is the crazy manipulative reality that we men live in that pushes us towards MRM. Points two and three ar… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/11 07:50 PM |
| 3 | Is the moderator of /r/feminisms conducting astroturfing campaign against /r/mensrights?As I understand it, astroturfing is a kind of 'negative campaigning.' It makes the accuser look bad, but not as bad as the one they're accusing. As defined by who, exactly? To whit: "Astroturfing is a form of advocacy often in support of a political or corporate agenda designed to give the appearance of a "grassroots" movement. The goal of such campaigns is to disguise the efforts of a political and/or commercial entity as an independent public reaction" -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfin… | /r/MensRights | 03/06/11 05:21 PM |
| 4 | Non-parent registry: a fair and beneficial solution for men?If women knew that in order to have fathers for their children, they needed to marry or make some other kind of legal arrangement with a willing guy, I think we'd see some better reproductive decisions being made. I like this idea, it has legs, if MRM can get just a little bit of traction in public opinion, I could see this actually happening. If marriage is going to be primarily a state-sanctioned legal arrangement in our society going forward anyway, why not make it part of the marriage licens… | /r/MensRights | 02/06/11 10:13 PM |

| 2 | Some 300 people on Facebook cheer on castration and celebrate male genital mutilation on story of Bangladeshi woman cutting off accused rapist's penisComments thread on this story opened my eyes and made me physically ill. When did sexual violence against the male groin go from slapstick comedy fodder to righteous and awesome? Before someone else posts it, I am familiar with the Man, Woman & Myth video on the subject. Link. I guess I didn't realize how widely accepted it's become in the mainstream. | /r/MensRights | 02/06/11 12:08 PM |
| 5 | I ask /r/feminisms if it's wrong for men to want a post-conception choice of being a father. This is their answer.Correlation isn't causation, but you already knew that. You have a whole lot more work to do if you intend to prove that the quote you reference seriously reflects the priorities and activism of NOW. Last time I checked, the only groups making any kind of effort to change misandrist social paradigms such as the California law that mandates child support payments from male statutory rape victims are our own fledgling little groups like Fathers & Families. Show me NOW's commitment to solving that … | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 05:00 PM |
| 7 | I ask /r/feminisms if it's wrong for men to want a post-conception choice of being a father. This is their answer."I know you are, but what am I?!" Really? Aren't we a little old to be playing this game? byte-smasher, everyone sees the point your trying to make, but this comment is a non sequitur. It's great that Karen DeCrow held egalitarian views regarding conception, but that enthusiasm is obviously tempered by the fact that she no longer holds that role at NOW and all too obvious to those of us who follow MRA issues that her attitude is not widely embraced at the present time. In that context, what effo… | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 03:58 PM |
| 1 | Mother attempts to kill child shortly after giving birth. Men are not the only ones capable of great evil..And as usual, note the fingerpointing starting from user comment #4.1 attempting to lay blame on the child's father... No comment for the father? Why is it always the girl's responsibility? Castrate the father...do what you want with the mother, but Holland is right. That's not a fair comment, shame on you for not including the Father. The woman didn't clone herself. If the father raised this baby on his own, no doubt he'd be considered a hero. The woman, however, even if she raised the chil… | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 05:19 PM |
| 2 | Tom Leykis rips Kay Hymowitz a new one.Leykis is basically saying, "You burned that house down, sister. Yes, relationships and children are important to men. But you women have made the relationship environment so toxic, men are not even getting the relationship and children they desire (to say nothing of human dignity or respect). You women have removed every incentive for us men to be meaningfully involved with you. That's an understandable point of view for a man whose been burned by 21st century American family law, but if you li… | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 05:00 PM |
| 1 | Tom Leykis rips Kay Hymowitz a new one.She's got her points; in fact, I think it's more accurate to say she's got her little routine well talking-pointed. In that respect, I have to disagree with the characterization of this program as ripping Hymowitz a new one. He completely caved to her characterization of single life as being all about self pleasure; fed the stereotype by dwelling on strippers and sex; and didn't try to elevate the conversation above that level even once. If that's the livestyle you're most comfortable in, I gues… | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 08:29 AM |
