| 3 | Picking up babies without their permission will turn them into rapistsUm. Babies can't consent...how does she know he says "yes"? Look at him! He's an infant. He is barely old enough to understand that he's a separate entity from his mom. That's ludicrous. Ten bucks says that his "yes" always coincides with the times when she thinks he needs to be held, or when he needs to be fed or changed or soothed, or when she wants a snuggle. I wonder if she circumcised him...? | /r/MensRights | 18/06/17 01:55 AM |

I stay friends with her so I can poke holes in her logic.This is generally the point where I figure that the person I'm talking to doesn't really have much left to contribute to the conversation. It seems like you'd rather not read what I actually wrote, but instead, set up a nice lil strawman for yourself so you can tear it down and feel smug about "winning".

Do you live in the house? Does your living there contribute in any way to the mess in the house? (hint: the answer to all of these questions is "yes") Then yes, you should be helping keep the house tidy and clean; this should be a default action for every adult. Clean up after yourself instead of leaving it for your partner to do, like they're a servant or your mommy or something.

They wrote on a guy's ass while he was unconscious, photographed his bare ass, and then posted that photo online. If that isn't an ugly thing to do to someone, I don't know what is. The fact that they're hot doesn't make it any less repugnant. If this was a girl we'd be talking about how rapey it was. It's not better just because he's a dude and they're pretty.

The more I learned about it in my teen years, and the more I paid attention to what feminists said and did, the more I realized I didn't want to be part of that.

| 1 | Female circumcision and male circumcision honestly discussed, can't believe the honestyYeesh. I think think that's a mistake. Age of consent in Canada is 16; I think that's about right. They're not legally permitted to drive until that age because they're not yet developed or responsible enough for handling a car. I think it's also a good age to deem them legally ready to handle sex. Using puberty as a marker...there are 9-year-old girls who get their periods. Do you think they are old enough to have sex? | /r/MensRights | 09/05/17 06:11 PM |

That's...not really accurate either. 17-year-olds are not children. They are on the cusp of adulthood - it's not like you go from child to adult at 12:01 am on the morning of your birthday with no in-between. Don't be obtuse. Furthermore, if the 17-year-old consented freely and there was no coercion going on, they haven't been raped.

There's no good reason to do it; unless there's a problem with the foreskin, all you need to do is teach your son how to keep himself clean and everything will be fine.

| -1 | White Men Need Not Apply. No Men Allowed to Run in Upcoming Election for Popular BC Political PartySuffragists and suffragettes were two different groups. The ones who used violence and were generally assholes were the suffragettes. The ones who were peaceful were the suffragists. Educate yourself before assuming they were all the same. Or are we now gonna start judging an entire group by the shitty actions of some of its members? Cool! That means I can pretend that all MRAs are dicks because some of them act that way!

And it's not as if the only men who got to vote were soldiers. Back when suffragists were fighting for the vote, most men couldn't vote either, and they won that right through the same means that the suffragists were employing - protests, petitions, and politics.

The earliest feminists wanted the right to do things like vote, and get a better education, and make the same money as men for working the same job and the same number of hours.

You stop menstruating because your hormones are fucked up, and along with not menstruating you are also not ovulating. It can take months to stop. Until it does, you are infertile. Temporarily, just like the five men in this study who were temporarily infertile until their sperm count went back up and they were fine again.

At least that's how I understand it to work. We are no longer forced into marriage by our culture - if we don't want to get married, we don't have to.

| 7 | The naked truth about marriage and divorce in the 21st century [comics]Wait, so the only reason a man could ever want to marry is because of social pressure, and not because they actually maybe believe in the institution or want that level of commitment with a woman? It's almost like you think men are incapable of thinking for themselves. Marriage is male slavery now when it used to be used as a system to show their possession of women.

The women stayed home and worked all the jobs the men had left open, including things like building planes and tanks and manufacturing the ammo their men were using. They also put together a shit ton of care packages that were sent over to the men on the front lines. They kept their families alive, which was no small feat in places like Britain, where rationing was incredibly strict. The women weren't whooping it up in the absence of their men. They busted their asses too. | /r/MensRights | 05/03/16 05:20 AM |

| 0 | Am I the only one that sees something wrong forcing your husband to have a vasectomy?Laparascopic procedures are still a major surgery. You are still opening up the abdominal cavity. There's a much greater risk of infection than there is when you open a small nick in the scrotum, believe it or not. People think it's minor because it's faster but it's not. Not to mention, vasectomies have a higher success rate than tubals. And when a tubal fails, it puts the woman at risk for ectopic pregnancy, which is incredibly dangerous. Vasectomies are safer and less invasive by a mile. | /r/MensRights | 17/02/16 05:51 AM |

There are also a lot of doctors who will refuse to perform it if a woman is "too young" (which is bullshit; they'll let you abort at 14 but they won't tie your tubes when you're 25?? please).

| 4 | Sexbots: Why Women Should Panic (by Milo Yiannopoulos)"The things that only women can offer are 1. sex and 2. the ability to create a traditional family." It's very obvious from your words that you only need women for that, and that it's all we're really good for in the long run. You can find companionship and love and mental stimulation elsewhere, and in theory you wouldn't even need women for sex if these robots were good enough. You wrote all of that.

I wish I could respond to him, because this is what I'd say: In saying "I am not a feminist", I am not taking my rights for granted, or spitting on the women who fought for those rights. It doesn't mean I support inequality. It doesn't mean I wish to go back to a time in which women were oppressed.

Look at countries where women are not allowed to go to parties, to get drunk or high, to dress suggestively, to flirt, to be out in public at night or alone. THEY STILL GET RAPED.

You can't see your privilege because you have so much that you are blissfully unaware of it all. </s> I actually had a woman say that to me once - that men have so much privilege that they even have the privilege of being unaware of how privileged they are. I thought it was b.s., because even though I'm not a man I have been aware of most of the stats in your infographic.

A lot of rapes happen in college. There's a lot of pressure on guys to treat their female co-students as sexual conquests, and there's a lot of pressure on the gals to be sexually available, to experiment, to be flattered when guys touch you or proposition you because it means you're desirable.

Because while there haven't been a huge number of studies done on this issue, the ones that have been carried out show that false reports are a minority of all rape reports. It happens, but not as often as real rapes/reports. I base it on lying being easier than raping, and it being easier for women to get away with lying than it is for men to get away with raping.

(its making me depressed to see the tweets etc.)Saying that if you wear certain clothes you will be raped puts the responsibility on the victim and makes it sound like it is somehow deserved, even in a small way, because the victim was dumb enough to wear something revealing. Rape isn't something that the rapist just can't help but do...it is a conscious choice. It isn't a natural result of seeing a hot woman in a short skirt. It's something that the attacker decides to do. And when we talk about male rape victims, nobody ever mentions what t… | /r/MensRights | 23/09/12 06:01 PM |

| 1 | Next time anyone tells you FGM is worse than MGM.I doubt FGM has anything to do with what any men want. Look it up for yourself. It is heavily tied in with Islam, which is an obviously male-dominated religion. The women in these countries are treated like property, and no man wants to marry a non-virgin woman.
