| 1 | Rides for women only. -- "Knowing that I'm picking up just women, to me it feels a lot safer." -- "It's a great opportunity to be able to drive women and children around without worrying." -- These are acceptable in society today.The same arguments can be applied to, say, Muslims. Or Blacks. Imagine a ride service that is "whites only"?? | /r/MensRights | 11/04/16 05:43 AM |

| 1 | Female Teacher caught having sex with underage student, no jail time only £100 fine.I'm always a little skeptical when a law follow algorithms games might use. | /r/MensRights | 27/09/15 03:03 AM |
| 1 | Female Teacher caught having sex with underage student, no jail time only £100 fine.I think it's awful and each case should be considered on a case by case basis, but yes, someone manipulating a 5 year old into sex is disgusting but still not as bad as violently forcing it. The punishment of one should be worse than the other. And the ways of helping someone with the issues of one would be different than the other. Think about it in terms of assault, and I think it seems more obvious that a violent form of a crime is automatically worse than the non violent form of that crime. | /r/MensRights | 26/09/15 10:10 PM |
| 1 | Female Teacher caught having sex with underage student, no jail time only £100 fine.Less serious charge. The government should not be protecting people by preventing consensual sex. That's retarded. There are power dynamics that can be used in play, but the fact that our society treats consensual sex with a, say, 16 year old as worse than the physical abuse of a 16 year old makes zero sense to me. And yes, minors should not be the criminals of the crimes in which they are also deemed the victim. Two minors having consensual sex should result in no penalty. | /r/MensRights | 25/09/15 03:40 PM |
| 2 | Female Teacher caught having sex with underage student, no jail time only £100 fine.To me, justice isn't giving this lady the same stupid punishment as a man. I really really hate that we call consensual sex with a minor 'rape'. If it's consensual, it's not rape. It's just sex with a minor, which should be its own crime. | /r/MensRights | 24/09/15 05:15 PM |
| 1 | Vegas nightclub ticket prices for men vs. womenHuh? When you want to treat somebody to something, a smart person does look for a good discount. It's not about her wanting discounts it's about him wanting discounts, and him wanting to be at a place where there a lot of good looking women. Women care less about that. Sex for men and women are clearly different: we do not play with the same rules. I accept that. | /r/MensRights | 26/06/15 03:13 PM |
| 1 | Vegas nightclub ticket prices for men vs. womenI think there are different levels of discrimination. But yea, in this subreddit, we have men that are basically like "fuck you, I like my masculinity" (and I agree) Well, so do clubs. :P | /r/MensRights | 26/06/15 02:44 AM |
| 6 | Vegas nightclub ticket prices for men vs. womenTo be fair, this has less to do with discrimination, and more to do with the fact that men are more likely to go where the ladies are, AND more willing to go where they can get discounts for their dates.. it's a marketing thing, not a discrimination thing. Make all the prices the average of the two, and watch their customers go elsewhere. | /r/MensRights | 26/06/15 01:50 AM |
| 1 | Modern Feminism in AmericaThis is so true at my favorite little bar here in SF, and other than this fact, I love that place. The bathroom situation is BS though. This perpetuates the idea that women need safe spaces (and men do not). I think, it's a bathroom. At a bar (usually). People want to pee/poop and get the hell out of there. Not fuck. Besides, if they did want to fuck, they'd just do it in that shared men's room. Unless, of course, we're worried about all those rapey men! /s | /r/MensRights | 07/05/15 05:10 PM |
| 1 | Look at how many hypocrites want to grant the pass to this teacher who had an orgy with her students.I'm saying the law needs to be modified; that isn't the same as ignorance of the law. She happened to live in a state that jails people for consensual sex, if they are their teacher. That's absolutely stupid. I hope you realize I'm criticizing the law, something I could not do if I was ignorant to it. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 22/04/15 03:55 PM |

| 1 | U.S. cracks down on female teachers who sexually abuse studentsI think the punishment is over the top for anybody. Hopefully by making sure women pay the same consequences of men for the same crime, we'll unitedly address the issue in a more productive way. I see to many "consent" but "abuse of power" cases that get treated no different than forced sex cases. I think there's a difference, and only when men and women are seen as equally being able to be on either side of these predicaments will we start to (as a society) care about those differences. | /r/MensRights | 21/04/15 10:39 PM |
| 3 | My female friends give some stats on female rapeI feel like you didn't read what he wrote. He said there are OTHER people reading it. It's not a bad idea to argue it, and keep your cool in that argument, because the alternative means the viewers of this person's page see absolutely no resistance, and those on the fence will just assume it's common knowledge that, say, men are rapey. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/15 05:12 AM |
| 1 | People dedicates an touching article about a woman who went to jail for getting pregnant off a 13 yr old when she was 34... and how she deserves to be removed from the sex offender registry.This is a clear case of someone taking advantage of their power, sure. And if they are in the sex offender registry, it should be because they had sex with a minor, and not grouped in with the same people who forced rape on to another person. Rape is a form of assault, sex with consent is never assault, though still not without its restrictions. My argument has never been she shouldn't get in trouble.. but I do think she ought not to be put on the same list that sexual predators and / or rapists… | /r/MensRights | 14/04/15 03:15 AM |
| -4 | People dedicates an touching article about a woman who went to jail for getting pregnant off a 13 yr old when she was 34... and how she deserves to be removed from the sex offender registry.I have an unpopular opinion on this. I AGREE she should be removed from the sex offender registry.. I also think consensual underage sex should not be seen as 'rape'. Should we outlaw it? Sure, that's fine. But we are doing rape victims a huge disservice by calling everything that is not rape (consensual sex) rape. I think something should happen.. but first, talk to the damn 'kid' who is underage. There are plenty of cases, underage boys and girls alike, that do not feel victimized and do not w… | /r/MensRights | 13/04/15 07:04 PM |
| 0 | Look at how many hypocrites want to grant the pass to this teacher who had an orgy with her students.Think of it from the perspective of the school. They don't want the reputation of "this school has teachers that sleep with their students".. I think this case was harmless, completely harmless.. but I would understand them wanting to (for political reasons) resign her from her position. Jail, though? It's absolutely stupid. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 07/04/15 05:26 PM |
| 2 | This is just insulting.Not a huge deal, but the 'men are helpless' is pretty annoying. If we labeled something "mom-proof" or "woman-proof", you can bet it would be news tomorrow.

| 1 | Told by my boss I'm intimidating and less effective at my job "because I'm a male"Did you miss the bit where I explained that sexual harassment only takes place at work or in an educational institution? Lol, sooo if it happens anywhere else it's not sexual harassment? Oh ok. Has that ever worked? Because my suggestion works ever time. Evertim!

Ok so you totally replied to my comment AS you read it, accusing me of possibly not reading the site you linked me to. I quoted directly from it later in the post. I have nothing against this method, but it was pretty ironic. I'm not dogmatic -_- I'm just not a fan of bullshit definitions.

| 1 | Told by my boss I'm intimidating and less effective at my job "because I'm a male""Sexual means sex, not sexual" Really? Even if that were true, how is telling someone they might be being intimidating 'harassment'. It's bias, or prejudice, or sexist.. but not harassing. From the link you posted, it says (to your point) " it is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general." But I'm going to categorize that under 'Shitty Definitions that the Women's Rights movement probably had defined to make everything bad happen to them seem like harassment'.… | /r/MensRights | 03/04/15 05:50 PM |
| 1 | Told by my boss I'm intimidating and less effective at my job "because I'm a male"I don't think you meant sexual harassment.

This says, if you're going to claim that people are discriminating against you, let alone an industry or a whole society, you better get your evidence in order. But there isn't any. Look, some people DO discriminate. We get that.. and nobody is going to blame you for going after them.

| 2 | I'd like to understand MRAs and FeministsYou should back that up, kind sir.

Defining gender as 'sex' vs. defining gender as 'how one identifies, complimentary to their sex' is probably one of the bigger confusions in the debate.

| 2 | Female Judge noting "[anti-male] double standard in this society" sentences pedophile Female Teacher to 6-15 years in prison.Agreed, and all of those cases should be diligent about determining whether or not there was consent from the minor. I'm fine with laws against adults having sex with minors, but treating a consensual encounter the same as a forced one is really stupid.

| -3 | The Daily Show tackles "Manspreading"...I totally understand that it could have been done gender neutral, I just think picking on a specific case within the broad problem (legs open, purses, other ways to take up space) is petty. Of them, and us. | /r/MensRights | 29/01/15 11:53 PM |
| -6 | The Daily Show tackles "Manspreading"...So let's just go back and forth picking on each others' petty flaws? I understand we should address ALL of these issues, and not make it seem like "men" are at fault or "women" are at fault for taking up the space in the subway.. but I think the campaign is just tackling some of the many issues.. the manspreading wasn't the only one: http://www.wnyc.org/story/mtas-new-etiquette-campaign/ I'd love to see one about purses on the seat next to you. I'd love to see one about people standing in front … | /r/MensRights | 29/01/15 10:24 PM |
| -1 | The Daily Show tackles "Manspreading"...I get your analogy, but I think it's a little less prejudice to suggest that sitting with your legs open is largely a man thing to do. I am not opposed to statistical truths being pointed out. There is a case for unnecessary demonizing here, I suppose.. but I feel like us "men's groups" are being just as silly as feminists by pointing this one out. Who the fuck cares? Close your legs in the train. Lol.. I think /r/mensrights is big on pointing this one out, not because they are actually hurt ove… | /r/MensRights | 29/01/15 10:21 PM |
| 0 | The Daily Show tackles "Manspreading"...I actually agree it's quite.. common courtesy.. to not sit like that. It's men who generally sit like that, and perhaps the sign would have been better to just ask 'people' not to do things that take up multiple seats (including using your purse as a person, etc.) I too thought "men's groups" took this a bit far. Let's not get to the point where we are being just as silly as the feminists, just to demonstrate their silliness. | /r/MensRights | 29/01/15 10:15 PM |
| 1 | Underage male rape victims should have kept "their stupid mouths shut and enjoyed it."In the case that the high school boys did want this sex and also didn't want anyone to get in trouble, the advice is actually good advice. The law shouldn't exist to judge the actions of all, it should exist to protect those needing it. I think consensual underage sex is very different than nonconsensual underage sex. "Rape" should be the crime for nonconsensual sex, and we should probably name consensual underage sex, and consensual coerced sex differently. I think it actually makes it harder t… | /r/MensRights | 23/01/15 10:54 PM |

| 1 | Subway 'manspreading' ads debut to shame male ridersHa, good point. Though I think in the short term, closing your legs is a much easier accomplishment than losing 100 lb. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/15 10:38 PM |
| 0 | Subway 'manspreading' ads debut to shame male ridersI love this subreddit and I love when we point out things that are unfair to men, especially when it's similar to something that unfair to women.. because it demonstrates that society is unfair to all of us, just in different ways... and that it isn't one sided. The world isn't out to get women, nor men, alone. That said, this is petty. I think if it's true, then it's not bad. And this is true. Women in this society just generally don't sit with their legs spread, and men do. Do they need to use… | /r/MensRights | 21/01/15 10:37 PM |
| 2 | Yet another case of Female Teacher on male student rape. Article confirms minors were involved, yet the word rape is never used once!Ok, I think it was the way you worded your original comment. No crime at all occured here. Breech of ethics can be argued, but absolutely no crime occured unless the students were prepubescent. You are claiming no crime occured, but according to current law, a crime did occur. What you're saying is that consenting sex 'shouldn't' be illegal, and I agree! I think we cleared this up. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/15 04:56 PM |

| 1 | Yet another case of Female Teacher on male student rape. Article confirms minors were involved, yet the word rape is never used once!Is that really the case? Had they genders been reverse, would it have been a crime? (Also, can you please link me to a source on something that shows this isn't a crime?) | /r/MensRights | 21/01/15 04:47 AM |

| 7 | Yet another case of Female Teacher on male student rape. Article confirms minors were involved, yet the word rape is never used once!I actually think we should stop calling underage consentual sex 'rape'. It actually makes the overall term lose its meaning, and it blows things way out of proportion. Should it be a crime? Of course. But "rape" should be crimes of forced sexual behavior. The reason the states get away with calling it "rape" is by belittling the will of the underage person(s) involved, and saying they can't actually make choices for themselves. They can, they do, and although this teacher should get in trouble, … | /r/MensRights | 20/01/15 11:08 PM |
