| 2 | A rebuttal to "Hark! A Vagrant"'s Strawfeminism argument. (Bonus: Guess the protest I'm alluding to!)Why dissolve in the future? Isn't the divisiveness being done now just as bad? Seems like ditching the MRM label after the fact is a bit too late. Also, people rarely forget their oppression, and they shouldn't. A blank slate seems like sort of a fantasy. | /r/MensRights | 31/12/12 01:45 AM |

Or is it doing a chore that someone else will have to finish? Clothing is generally put away. That's what drawers and closets are for. It seems like a lot of people would rather do the chores themselves than finish up if someone has done it half-assed.

| 20 | Why Do We Demonize Men Who Are Honest About Their Sexual Needs? Society pressures men to initiate sexual relationships, yet punishes them when they express their sexual needs.That was essentially the subject of the article. We blur the lines between real creeps and imagined ones. We expect men to be sexually dominant and assertive and yet completely demonize them as "creeps" when they act that way. And yes, some of it comes down to unwanted attention = creepy, wanted attention = not creepy. Not always though. Sometimes creepy really is creepy. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 08:08 PM |

Unless we know the personal details of her life, I don't know if we could label her a hypocrite. My guess is that they, as two gay people, may have decided to take advantage of the marriage laws, which given their circumstances could be seen as an act of subversion instead of complicity.

Society pressures men to initiate sexual relationships, yet punishes them when they express their sexual needs.I haven't seen any articles like that, but then again, I don't read Cosmo. So having a 31 year life partnership with a gay man and eventually getting legally married translates into a marriage of convenience? Hmm. I don't quite know about that.

| 1 | Women’s Studies and the Spread of Man-HatredIt is a bit fallacious to say that women's studies cultivates radical feminism.

| -1 | I'm both a feminist and a MRA.Entitlement isn't gendered. Women are, unapologetically, taking advantage of a cultural shift in their favor, the same way men, unapologetically, took advantage when it was in their favor, the same way anyone would, unapologetically, take advantage of it because it's in some peoples' nature to be self-serving shitholes, and that's what we're always fighting against. And it's probably all a charade because what trumps all this gender crap? Class. That's where privilege really is. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/12 08:11 PM |
| 4 | Financial Abortion Explained - YouTubeThe concept originated as "paper abortion" because it's entirely in response to the unfairness that abortion leaves too much choice to women at the disadvantage of men. Women have choice. Men do not. Thus men deserve the opportunity to "abort." I don't know if changing it to "legal parental surrender" makes it more accessible. Parental surrender is a two-person decision. You can't adopt without consent of both parents. Once a child is born, both parents have equal obligations to that child. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/12 05:13 PM |

I don't know if an open relationship would lend anyone credibility. Polyamory is socially shunned. It could make everything worse.

| 1 | Courts ban father from seeing his kids until they are 18 because the mother was sabotaging his relationship with them. "It wouldn't work" because the mother was determined to ignore any court orders to destroy the little girl's relationship with her father.Keep in mind that we do not know any details of the case, except that it is "extreme" and "unusual," and there is a history of violence and abuse between the parents and toward the child. The court deemed it to be in the best interest of the child to not have shared custody. It's not like Joe Blow isn't getting to see his daughter because his ex-wife is being a bitch. Both parents probably have severe issues and can't deal with each other and likely to escalate into violence. | /r/MensRights | 08/12/12 05:59 PM |

| 1 | So basically every argument against Legal Paternal Surrender can be transposed as an argument against abortion rights. I wonder if the irony is lost on feminists...Most people will take issue to the idea of LPS because it's an obligation due to a child, not a woman. So much of the concept of LPS is that parenthood is something "done" to men, when it's really what, a biological inequity that has been partially resolved for women? Not to mention that if it wasn't for the feminist movement and its work with securing abortion rights, ~1 million more men would be forced to be fathers each year. Scary thought. | /r/MensRights | 06/12/12 07:47 PM |

| 3 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)I don't know if the problem is a loose definition of rape. We are talking about extreme things that happen. Not normal, everyday childbirth. I've given birth twice and never felt violated, let alone raped. Yes, you are in a vulnerable position. Yes, you have weird crap done to you. As long as people are respectful of you, it's not a physical violation. However, once you strip away respectfulness and you act upon a laboring women in a certain way, then it can become a major violation. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 10:39 PM |
| 1 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)Your premise is that people are using the term birth rape to appeal to emotion and manipulate public opinion. How is finding out what public opinion they are manipulating unimportant? I am saying that people use the term birth rape because it fits, it describes their experience, and there is no nefarious motivation behind it. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 07:44 PM |
| 1 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)To what end? Can you please explain what nefarious thing these women are doing? | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 07:26 PM |
| 2 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)Manipulating public opinion?? Bit of an enormous leap, considering the source of this thread is a fucking blog. Perhaps we should leave such robust criticisms to when there's a coalition to redefine rape to include medical malpractice during childbirth. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 07:16 PM |
| 6 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)Childbirth != birth rape. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 06:39 PM |
| -1 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)Can we really argue about something so subjective? Is anyone looking to define "birth rape" as a legal term in order to prosecute health care providers? No. Are people using "birth rape" because the term fits their experience like a glove? Yes. How can you argue with that? | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 06:30 PM |
| 4 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)Absolutely. If a person was held down and circumsized against their will, then I imagine it would feel like a form of rape. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 06:19 PM |
| 1 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)We needn't be so insular. Statutory rape? Technically consensual, although not legally so. And let's not forget, rape is also: "an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside." So, a violation of a woman's body and sexual organs that causes her considerable trauma? The term rape is apropos. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 06:08 PM |
| -1 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)Look at it this way. What is rape? A feeling of powerlessness combined with violation of your body. A woman in labor is in an incredibly vulnerable position, physically and mentally. Fuck, I suffered PTSD just from childbirth. If a woman feels violated by medical conduct or misconduct, and suffers it as a trauma, then I'm not going to argue. It's not like people are saying OBs and nurses should be prosecuted as rapists and put on a sex offender registry. The term "rape" is being used to describe… | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 05:26 PM |
| 20 | Why are there so many campaigns against female circumcision. Particularly in a religious and cultural context. Yet no discussion about male genital mutilation?It's a violation of a child's bodily integrity. Why cut off a perfectly normal, healthy part of the human body for no other reason than tradition? Sure, if you think you are fulfilling a covenant with your god, that violation ... might be justified. We do all sorts of stupid shit in the name of religion. But there is no compelling reason to routinely circumcise boys. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 05:08 PM |
| 30 | Why are there so many campaigns against female circumcision. Particularly in a religious and cultural context. Yet no discussion about male genital mutilation?Go visit any parenting board (relevant, as these are the people deciding whether or not to circ their sons) and tell me it isn't being discussed heavily. San Francisco tried to put a circ ban on the ballot but the governor signed a law saying that local governments couldn't ban circumcision. It's absolutely being discussed. And that's probably why the circ rates are dropping. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 04:46 PM |
| 3 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)Sounds crazy and made up? Your post would have been excellent if not for that characterization. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 04:35 PM |
| 7 | New form of rape discovered - Birthrape (wish I was kidding)Well, if you are ever strapped down to a bed while a nurse or doctor ignores you and forcibly sticks their fingers into your vagina to check your cervix, you can be qualified to determine whether or not it constitutes a form of rape/assault or not. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 04:33 PM |
| 14 | Court says father ‘nothing more than a wallet’ to estranged daughter but he still must pay toward her tuitionDid you read the article? Parental alienation is grounds for cutting off child support: "'Courts are reluctant to cut off child support unless it’s really clear cut' that there was a “unilateral and egregious” alienation on the part of the child, he said — namely in cases where the payor did absolutely nothing wrong." The judge decided the father was partly responsible for the estrangement and substantially lowered the child support. | /r/MensRights | 22/11/12 03:21 PM |

| 6 | Wife Threatening Action Against me if I get a VasectomyAbortion can be legal. And thank you, that sounds like a great idea! My favorite pastime. xoxo | /r/MensRights | 21/11/12 03:18 PM |
| -2 | Wife Threatening Action Against me if I get a VasectomySame ballpark. Both are choices involving their bodies and each has a natural right to make them. Why is lying about a vasectomy acceptable but lying about an abortion wouldn't be? I'm not saying they are equal choices. I'm speaking only to the issue of bodily autonomy. Just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean you should go behind someone's back to do it. | /r/MensRights | 21/11/12 03:08 PM |
| -12 | Wife Threatening Action Against me if I get a VasectomySo if a woman wants an abortion but the father doesn't want her to, she should lie and do it anyway? That sounds like a healthy relationship. | /r/MensRights | 21/11/12 02:54 PM |
| 1 | I was at a store that had a room for changing diapers. I thought I was a really great idea until..Too ambiguous. Doesn't imply a feeding relationship. Could also refer to birds. "Babies and Their Cows" would provide greater clarity. | /r/MensRights | 21/11/12 02:44 PM |
| 0 | I was at a store that had a room for changing diapers. I thought I was a really great idea until..That's because it isn't a washroom. It's a breastfeeding room. Which is to give privacy to lactating people (shan't use sexist language) so they don't have to use the restroom to breastfeed. Time to get angry, folks. | /r/MensRights | 21/11/12 02:25 PM |
| -2 | I was at a store that had a room for changing diapers. I thought I was a really great idea until..No, it's discrimination. Sign should be more inclusive: "Babies and Moms and Dads Who Lactate." | /r/MensRights | 21/11/12 02:15 PM |
| -4 | A generation of men raised by feminists...What do you mean? You don't think feminists are teaching people to value those "feminine" qualities in men? Good lord, have you ever met a feminist's husband or sons? | /r/MensRights | 20/11/12 11:21 PM |
| -2 | A generation of men raised by feminists...So it's feminism's doing that we call men who exhibit traditional "feminine" qualities "sissies," "fags," etc? Hmm. I suspect that isn't feminism's fault at all. | /r/MensRights | 20/11/12 10:51 PM |
| 7 | My school just cut two mens sports programs for a female tennis team.Did anyone read the report? They are cutting men's baseball and soccer to expand and strengthen the men's tennis team, not the woman's. And yes, this looks like a predominantly fiscal issue. The report states, however, that it's also time they stopped "neglecting" the proportionality requirements of Title IX, meaning that Towson, which is 68% female and 32% male, should have a more balanced athletics program. Woa. Crazyyyyy. | /r/MensRights | 20/11/12 07:02 PM |

Can you imagine the reaction if a 40-year-old man had done this to an 18-year-old girl?I'd like you to know that your feelings for Taylor Lautner are completely natural and not at all creepy or disgusting. | /r/MensRights | 20/11/12 01:22 AM |
| 2 | Jenny McCarthy grabs Justin Bieber's ass and kisses him on the neck without consent. Can you imagine the reaction if a 40-year-old man had done this to an 18-year-old girl?"17 year old boy with a naked hot body"? Editorialize much? Really, though, a naked 17 year old boy is child pornography and so I can guarantee there are no naked hot 17-year-old bodies in those abhorrent films. Plus, no one has adequately answered this: Why do we presume someone who watches Twilight lusts after teenage boys? That's as bad as saying male babysitters are most likely child molesters, or people become high school teachers so they can have sex with teens. It. does. not. follow. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/12 10:23 PM |
| 1 | Exhibit A in why I as a gay dude do NOT support feminists and increasingly identify with the MRM. These hateful FEMEN idiots don't give a fuck about gay rights, they're just appropriating our cause for their sick anti-male attention whoring purposes.I'm questioning how it's possible for feminists to appropriate gay rights, as if it's surprising or inappropriate for feminists to show support for gay marriage, which OP is accusing. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/12 08:52 PM |

Can you imagine the reaction if a 40-year-old man had done this to an 18-year-old girl?No, a correct analogy would be a man holding a Harry Potter sign and everyone saying, "Gross, you pedophile!" | /r/MensRights | 19/11/12 08:15 PM |
| 2 | Jenny McCarthy grabs Justin Bieber's ass and kisses him on the neck without consent. Can you imagine the reaction if a 40-year-old man had done this to an 18-year-old girl?How does being a Twilight fan mean you fantasize about having sex with underage boys? Surely there are other reasons for liking Twilight. ... oh, okay, I get it now. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/12 08:02 PM |

These hateful FEMEN idiots don't give a fuck about gay rights, they're just appropriating our cause for their sick anti-male attention whoring purposes.I agree. It was asinine, but so is going to a gay marriage protest topless with partial nun habit, chanting "In Gay we Trust," all the while being followed by a film crew. Sure, there are elements of a genuinely badass protest there, but meh... not feelin' it. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/12 05:34 PM |

These hateful FEMEN idiots don't give a fuck about gay rights, they're just appropriating our cause for their sick anti-male attention whoring purposes.I agree. I think we are mistaking Femen as a credible feminist organization. Is Jersey Shore an accurate representation of the people of New Jersey? My guess is Femen is just trying to ride the coattails of Pussy Riot. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/12 04:59 PM |
| 4 | Exhibit A in why I as a gay dude do NOT support feminists and increasingly identify with the MRM. These hateful FEMEN idiots don't give a fuck about gay rights, they're just appropriating our cause for their sick anti-male attention whoring purposes.That was not tear gas. That was "Jesus semen."

These hateful FEMEN idiots don't give a fuck about gay rights, they're just appropriating our cause for their sick anti-male attention whoring purposes.Where exactly do you derive the hatefulness from their protest? Aside from it looking more like an underwear commercial, I don't see what's so horrible. And come on, "appropriating" your cause? Why wouldn't women or lesbians care about gay marriage? A bit of a bizarre assertion to make. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/12 04:12 PM |

| 4 | Three partners. Kidnapping, torture, sex slavery, murder. Multiple victims. Man gets 224 years. Woman gets probation.I didn't get the two year figure from Hendy. It was self evident, given she met Ray in 1997 and therefore was an accomplice to THOSE particular crimes (the crimes she was prosecuted for) for two years. There's really no way to spin that. Women getting preferential treatment is a gross injustice, I agree, but I do not think this is one of these instances. | /r/MensRights | 17/11/12 06:59 PM |
| 2 | Three partners. Kidnapping, torture, sex slavery, murder. Multiple victims. Man gets 224 years. Woman gets probation.A criminal hanging out with a serial killer. So shocking and unexpected. Here I figured Hendy was home baking pies. Surely the FBI was as smitten by Hendy as I am, so they let her craft the entire prosecution for them. Drinking the Magic Vagina Kool Aid, indeed. | /r/MensRights | 17/11/12 06:28 PM |
| 2 | Three partners. Kidnapping, torture, sex slavery, murder. Multiple victims. Man gets 224 years. Woman gets probation.Well, which creep are you going to go after? The one who has been doing this shit for two years or the one who has been doing it for twenty and has connections to many other murders/disappearances? Sort of a no-brainer. Also, part of Ray's plea deal included reduced sentence for his daughter. So when looking at the bias with the accomplices, it was more of a crotchfruit thing than a penis v. vagina. | /r/MensRights | 17/11/12 05:47 PM |
| 2 | Three partners. Kidnapping, torture, sex slavery, murder. Multiple victims. Man gets 224 years. Woman gets probation."His partner" was a linguistic choice. Wouldn't want to overwhelm anyone with witty banter. So what kind of plea deal would you have offered Ray to provide evidence against Hendy? Oh yea, you wouldn't because it would make no sense. | /r/MensRights | 17/11/12 05:23 PM |
| 2 | Woman Kills Ex Husband, Tries To Claim He Was a Pedo, Kids Call B.S., Woman STILL Only Gets 17 YearsWell, what the MRM doesn't have is an understanding of murder sentencing. | /r/MensRights | 17/11/12 05:06 PM |
| 1 | Three partners. Kidnapping, torture, sex slavery, murder. Multiple victims. Man gets 224 years. Woman gets probation.So Mr. "Oh hai I built an RV torture chamber and murdered 60 people" was sentenced for 224 years. His partner Cindy Hendy got 36 years. Ray's daughter, an accomplice, got 9 years. A male accomplice who lured and strangled a victim got 11 years. I don't see the screaming inequalities here. | /r/MensRights | 17/11/12 04:31 PM |
