| 2 | Jada Pinkett-Smith and Amber Heard Make Me Question: Why Is No One Talking About 'Toxic Femininity'?In Britain, they recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage, via the Representation of the People Act (1918). What no one talked about during the celebrations was that this Act of Parliament brought more than 5 million British men into the electoral franchise. They also won't tell you that the most convincing and popular slogan in both public and parliament was not "votes for women", but "if he's fit to fight, he's fit to vote." The argument was that if men are called to fight… | /r/MensRights | 21/05/22 12:27 AM |

| 16 | Is pseudo-feminism even a thing?It's the classic motte and bailey tactic (medieval castle analogy). The bailey is the part of the castle where most of the actual work is done. It's several acres, filled with people working at various tasks--weaving, brewing, blacksmithing, tending livestock, etc. There will be a wall around it, but because of the large circumference of the perimeter, it is hard to defend. The motte is a tower, set on high ground, with strong fortifications that can resist attack. When enemies arrive, the peopl… | /r/MensRights | 26/09/20 05:40 PM |

It was the fever, aches, chills, sweats and fatigue that were the worst part. I don't generally get those symptoms when I'm sick, and they hit me like a truck.

| 2 | Studies found that studies that have positive results for men are reflexively doubted, by men and women likewise. If a study show female superiority, there is more trust in the result, the methodology lauded, and the assertions deemed more relevant. Again, by both women and men.Three things: religion and nationalism, and patriarchy. Religion and nationalism facilitate cooperation by evoking kinship bonds. Patriarchy (particularly that which promotes as its most predominant model monogamy) reduces male/male conflict. The cultural promotion and augmentation of the father/offspring bond can't be underestimated in both its motivational capability, or in its capacity to suppress intra-tribal male/male conflict.

If a study show female superiority, there is more trust in the result, the methodology lauded, and the assertions deemed more relevant. Again, by both women and men.Here's a scary thought: do we even want this end goal? Like I've said before: it's men competing for women which drives the advancement of society forward. There's a sweet spot there, though, between male/male competition and male/male cooperation. Men who feel they have reproductive skin in the game are more motivated to be productive. Egalitarian monogamy harnesses the productivity of the largest number of men. Even in societies that allow polygyny, it is those in which egalitarian monogamy is… | /r/MensRights | 13/08/20 06:19 PM |

Of course the differences in reproductive potential would generate the Women are Wonderful effect (or some similar narrative that nets the same outcome, which is that we are more forgiving and protective of women).

It's an engine. In the past, there was a scarcity of "fuel" to make it go. Now, that scarcity is gone (or we believe it's gone because of the smokescreen of quantitative easing, deficit spending on social programs and affirmative action, law and order, skyrocketing personal consumer debt, etc). We're shovelling "fuel" into the furnace, and the engine is chugging along in the direction it always wanted to go. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/20 01:58 PM |

Pretty much everyone was in favor of them. When asked why, a lot of them said that if women had to be paid the same as men, companies would be more likely to hire men.

He often finds dogs who've been horribly abused and they're terrified of humans and display a ton of fear aggression at first. But... you know.

Most, but not all, of the genes on the second X chromosome are deactivated. About 10% of them avoid deactivation. This is remarkably similar in proportion to the Y chromosome, which contains about 70 protein coding genes (depending on how you define genes) compared to the X's 800.

| 33 | Lets see who's 'genetically superior' when we have a cage fight.The methodology is probably sound, the conclusions lack nuance and are overstated. The X chromosome is much larger and much more "complete". The Y has been shrinking over millions of years, losing genes. The X contains more than 10 times as many protein coding genes as the Y. It's generally understood that since human females have 2 Xs, the X has not had to shed genes--if a gene on one X is defective, there's a back-up on the other X. In the case of the Y, there's no back-up, so gene selection f… | /r/MensRights | 10/04/20 03:21 PM |

I'm not going to itemize the death counts, other than to say neither is without a giant mound of bodies (civilian and otherwise) lying on their doorsteps.

If Cantwell is at all concerned about men's issues, he should notice that in such a system it is men who are getting killed. I think it would behoove us all to ask why it happens.

And if they happen to get a woman pregnant and she's not insured, they can't use their own coverage to obtain services for her. That is, they pay for services they can never use in order to subsidize women in general and keep women's premiums down. | /r/MensRights | 18/05/19 04:01 PM |

By the early 19-aughts, Millicent Fawcett had to admit that women's suffrage in principle had majority support in parliament, but the two parties representing the working class at the time would never accept it with the same old class/property restrictions, which would effectively double the Conservative electorate. She also eventually realized that she wouldn't be able to convince the publ… | /r/MensRights | 18/05/19 03:57 PM |

The Chartists were a movement for broad electoral reform, including: universal male suffrage secret ballots (to prevent electoral coercion by employers and others) paying members of parliament a salary (to open the position to non-wealthy people) getting rid of "rotten boroughs" (for more proportional representation) Between the 1830s and the 1860s, they presented 3 pet… | /r/MensRights | 18/05/19 03:35 PM |

On the other hand, I think you could also look at this from a different perspective. Whereas women have the freedom to simply exist with intrinsic value, men have to earn and display their value and utility.

Because she tells women who want high power careers they have to start behaving more like men than like women. The majority of women are unwilling or incapable of that. What is the feminist solution? Deconstruct the hierarchy and rebuild it as a reflection of female psychological preferences. But those preferences are not scalable.

This allowed them enough leeway to apply a tax of 5% (the lowest rate possible under the EU), rather than the 20% they have to charge on essentials like toilet paper, diapers and baby wipes, cotton swabs, shampoo, soap, razors and toothpaste.

The idea is not that women are bad. It's that women can be bad, can do bad things and can be motivated by bad intentions.

If there were no perceived benefit to women, would they have done it? I doubt it. The ones who are in politics, who are pushing for these changes, typically have thinking that is every bit as cancerous as the ones in the media.

As in, capital punishment. Rape of women by men was one of the last non-lethal capital crimes in most western countries. On the other hand, at least these researchers are capable of acknowledging that women can be perpetrators and men can be victims. | /r/MensRights | 13/10/17 04:58 AM |

So basically, men are expressing their emotions to other men and feel judged and at risk of rejection when they express them to women, but it's men who are to blame for men not being allowed to express their emotions?

So that's what ... 240 a year. That's just a completely dishonest statistic all around. According to NBC, nearly three women a day in the US are killed just by intimate partners. That's one woman every 8 hours. The US is clearly more than twice as dangerous for women as Honduras, since the number for Honduras is for all homicides of women, while the number for the US only includes intimate partner homicide.
