| 1 | Gay men should join the men's rights movement!Looking through these comments, it seems there are a lot of us here. In my completely anecdotal and personal experience, the MRM stuff near me tends to be disproportionately homo. Gay men and the MRM are pretty natural bedfellows. It's hard to find people who care about men more than gay dudes do. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/24 02:47 PM |

| 1 | What are your thoughts on the “mental load” debate?100% agree, and I don't think people really stop to consider how powerful this biological conditioning — the force of evolution — is. Perhaps we like to blame society because society is something we can change, idk. Re: mental load, it's the mental labor of having to remind the men in her life to mop the floor, and gosh why don't they ever just do it? Why do I have to be the one to tell him to do his chores? He's a grown-ass man, this is ridiculous, etc etc. | /r/MensRights | 05/08/24 03:36 PM |

| -4 | Do you think that when a woman is pregnant and doesn't want to abort but the man doesn't want the fetus he should be able to sign a document to the government that says he doesn't want this fetus and then he doesn't have to pay child support when it's born?Thank you, I shall. Though really, it's less of an opinion, and more of an observation: the conceptual framework that says personhood begins with the zygote doesn't have adequate means to differentiate that zygote from any other cell in the body. When we call abortion "murder" even when the victim is a single microscopic cell, it follows that any destruction of human tissue is also murder. It's not epistemologically consistent otherwise, which is the previous gentleman's primary concern. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/24 09:27 PM |

Yes, it's human (i.e. made of human cells) and alive (i.e. the cells are performing biological functions), but that doesn't actually mean very much. So is a wart. You can't remove a wart without murdering all those cells. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/24 07:34 PM |
| 23 | What are your thoughts on the “mental load” debate?This is how it always went in my life. And for the record, it happened in reverse as well. My female roomies and I just tend to have different priorities. Just as they would get annoyed when I didn't prioritize washing dishes or sweeping the floor, I would get annoyed when they'd leave their shoes all over, or leave all the yardwork for me, or forgot about bills. They had to play maid, I had to play landscaper/personal assistant/occasional ATM | /r/MensRights | 04/08/24 06:50 PM |
| 9 | What are your thoughts on the “mental load” debate?She's actually right this time. Sort of. Psychometric data shows that women have lower disgust thresholds than men do — essentially, men (on average) can put up with more mess before it starts to bother them. This probably has something to do with keeping babies safe. Several things in women's natures evolve from that: their sensitivity to cold, their heightened sense of smell, their increased attunement to infant cries, etc. Where she fails is attributing it to society. It's much older than tha… | /r/MensRights | 04/08/24 06:32 PM |
| 20 | Female leaders are the best /sMy roommate (a woman) says this all the time. "If we had women in charge, there wouldn't be any wars. I mean, how could a mother start a war and send people's children to die?" So, men have no affection for their children, no paternal drive to protect them, and no empathy for others. Gotcha. I mentioned that, historically, queens tended to be much more aggressive than kings, so it may end up the exact opposite of what she hopes — a more bloody, violent era. She just says "I don't think so. As a … | /r/MensRights | 03/08/24 06:01 PM |

I've only ever heard it in the feminist context — "I'm the one who has to write all the birthday cards," or "I had to listen to my husband complain to me about his day like I'm some sort of therapist," or "my little brother keeps asking me for relationship advice, ugh."

These people get so booty-bothered when they're expected to at least pretend to care about others. Things people have put forward as examples of emotional labor: wishing someone a happy birthday, asking about someone's day, cheering up your friends/family when they're sad, giving someone flowers you got for free, etc. etc. I'm sorry, no.

She may well have Swyer syndrome or something — maybe the guy who leaked her confidential medical information, and that one Russian news source that published it, are telling the truth.

Not only is everyone running around invalidating her successes and saying she has a d*ck, but they're also making her out to be some sort of cheat because she has a hormone imbalance. "It's not fair, because her body is stronger and more muscular!" Um, what? It's a physical competition. Those are never fair. Someone will always be stronger/faster/tougher/whatever. The whole point of the competition is to tease out who that is. I fail to see the issue :/ | /r/MensRights | 02/08/24 12:37 AM |

I haven't checked the numbers myself, but I heard tell that the gender gap now is worse than it was in 1970, when all these countermeasures were taken to boost women in education.

We're all working toward the same goal, right? That tells me it's more a "women's advocacy" thing than an "equality" thing. Which is fine, but let's call a spade a spade, and leave space for the people who are actually fighting to make the world more fair, not just more good for women. | /r/MensRights | 01/08/24 02:04 PM |

They tend to freak out and try to shut the whole thing down instead. That, to me, is pretty damning.

| 5 | RANT: Another 'stat' that won't die. "Rule of thumb" means that a man can hit his wife with a rod no thicker than his thumb.Good point. In this particular case, however, they are wrong. This phrase has nothing to do with DV, and never did. I can't say definitively 100% for sure what it means, but as a linguist, I'd bet my left nut it actually comes from measurement — i.e. the width of your thumb is about an inch, so a "rule of thumb" came to mean "a simple but inexact workaround."

| 46 | RANT: Another 'stat' that won't die. "Rule of thumb" means that a man can hit his wife with a rod no thicker than his thumb.Yuuuup. That whole interpretation comes from the gut feeling ONE 17th century judge had about the origin of the term. Not backed up by any evidence whatsoever. It almost certainly comes from the practice of using the width of your thumb as a rough measure for an inch. "Rule" being the old word for "measure" (think: "ruler"). Hence, it's meaning: "a rough strategy that'll generally get the job done, but isn't exact."

| 3 | How women play victim cardExcellent point. I don't mind the idea of considering the costs of pregnancy and childbirth this way, but I'm not a fan of this nebulous, undefined cost being used to argue against equity in support. If we can calculate down to the cent what a father's financial interest should be, surely we can calculate the costs of childbirth, divide that by 2, and incorporate that into our support calculations, rather than assuming the mother's cost is infinity, and the father's contribution is zero. | /r/MensRights | 29/07/24 07:51 PM |
| 1 | How to convince my husband not to circumcise our baby boy?I think the fact that you aren't in agreement should be cause enough. Like when your parents disagree on a rule when you're a child, you follow whichever is strictest. Putting aside the ethical issues with circumcision — others here have addressed those already — looking at the issue purely pragmatically: he wants it, you don't. The strictest rule would be to abstain from any permanent body alterations, as you two don't agree on what's best for your son. Best to err on the side of caution. | /r/MensRights | 29/07/24 07:39 PM |

Two of the five administrations I've lived through lost the popular vote, but were elected anyway. I think the voting habits of regular people has very little to do with who becomes commander in chief. I bet if we scrapped the system that has overriden the popularly elected Democrat candidate, and instead handed the presidency to a Republican whom most of the country voted against — twice — they'd be more active at the ballot box. | /r/MensRights | 21/07/24 05:26 PM |

Data out of the US suggests gender parity in sexual victimization, and it's not hard to imagine that male victims could just be harder to count. Men are less likely to discuss their victimization. And in surveys, more women admit to committing rape than men do.

Psychometric data suggests (despite feminism's claims to the contrary) men don't have an innate in-group preference. We don't "look out for our own" the same way women do.

But even setting that aside, giving someone unilateral authority to dictate what happens in another person's body is, to my mind, pretty evil.
