3	Interview with Cassie Jaye on Laci Green & Media Backlash Why do you believe that about Laci? (I'm not trying to defend her; I barely know anything about her, other than what I saw in her interview with Dave Rubin. I'm just wondering what you've seen that makes you suspicious of her.)	/r/MensRights	19/07/17 10:39 PM
2	"Trump Admin. Begins to Dismantle Obama Campus Rape Tribunals" I would never vote someone guilty as a juror unless their was proof beyond a reasonable doubt. How would you know? As a juror in a rape trial, you do not know whether you're seeing all the relevant evidence. Rape-shield laws (and the biased way in which they're applied) have often been used to suppress important pieces of evidence. You can't trust that what you're being shown is the whole truth. I'm not exactly comfortable with the "always acquit" position, but it's not as abhorrent as you're ma…	/r/MensRights	19/06/17 10:47 PM
9	Are you guys tired of being lumped in with rich old white men in politics and in business, while you toil away and live from paycheck to paycheck? And on top of that... being one of those few people at the top is incredibly stressful. Jordan Peterson talks about that in this video. The whole video is awesome - I recommend watching it right now instead of reading the rest of my comment here. But the basic point is that those few people at the top of their profession aren't sitting around being lazy; they are working all the time, and it is unbelievably difficult and stressful. You almost certainly would not be happy in that job. Most people…	/r/MensRights	23/05/17 10:22 AM
1	Apparently saying "Boys will be Boys" is promoting rape culture Do you have a source for that number?	/r/MensRights	17/05/17 08:43 PM
25	Cassie Jaye's Presentation at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) - May 2017 Cassie Jaye is wonderful. Not just because she happens to be saying things that I agree with, but because she's capable of listening to someone she considers an enemy, and learning, and changing her mind. That's a rare ability. This is a great video about the process of doing that.	/r/MensRights	15/05/17 08:52 PM
1	[SOCIAL ISSUES] Barbara Kay: No consequences for women who “stealth” men I think you did exactly the right thing. You stopped her, you said you weren't comfortable with it, and you didn't make a big deal of it. (If she had done it stealthily, I'd call it rape. But since she did it out in the open, I don't think she did anything especially terrible.)	/r/MensRights	13/05/17 11:42 AM
7	As an egalitarian, female newcomer to this subreddit, what are some of the main statistics and information you would recommend for me to look at and read? It's hard for us to imagine how questions like "are you a rape advocate?" or "are you an advocate of sexual assault / harassment?" could possibly not be intended to be inflammatory.	/r/MensRights	13/05/17 01:16 AM
4	Karen DeCrow on men's rights Would you apply that reasoning to women too? Would you condemn a woman for having an abortion, in cases where she's doing it solely to avoid the responsibility of parenthood (which is the vast majority of the cases)? (Imagine a woman gets pregnant, and tells you, "I'm going to have an abortion - I'm too young, and I can't afford to raise a child right now." Are you going to tell her, "No, you need to take responsibility for your actions. Any type of consensual sex involves some form of risk that…	/r/MensRights	04/05/17 06:41 PM
8	Karen DeCrow on men's rights At that point, considering that he's already opted out, I think the decision (about whether to let him back in or not) should be entirely up to the mother. He can ask her, and if she wants to let him back in, that's fine (and she should be able to set any conditions she wants, like paying back child support). But he shouldn't have any right to be let back in. Rights and responsibilities should go together. When he declined the responsibilities of parenthood, he waived the rights of parenthood to…	/r/MensRights	04/05/17 11:25 AM
5	Karen DeCrow on men's rights That's true, but it's basically the same with any politicized subject. Liberals are more likely to listen to a contradictory opinion if it comes from another liberal, conservatives if it comes from another conservative, Java programmers if it comes from another Java programmer, etc. This isn't really something that's unique to feminism. (I know that "woman" is really really not synonymous with "feminist", but still. People listen more to people they perceive to be on the same team.) And it even …	/r/MensRights	04/05/17 09:09 AM
19	Karen DeCrow on men's rights If our society were making the Responsibility argument ("you assume that risk when you choose to have unsafe sex") to both men and women, I'd be OK with it. I do think there's a lot to be said for responsibility. But society doesn't do that. We allow women various options: aborting, or leaving the newborn baby at a safe haven, or giving the child up for adoption. And I think that's fine too - when women do choose to abort, their reasons are generally reasons that seem good to me - but overwhelmi…	/r/MensRights	04/05/17 08:43 AM
13	From my FB feed: women are apparently only successful in the absence of men. The shitty part of this is the demonization of the boys. Segregating sports teams by ability level, and caring less about winning at the lower levels, is totally normal - in real life we have casual leagues where people aren't that good and don't care that much about winning (though of course everybody cares at least a little bit), all the way up to professional leagues (where they accept only the best of the best and spend a huge amount of time practicing), with lots of levels in between. But, …	/r/MensRights	26/04/17 09:20 PM
2	Men: I need help with a conflict Talk with her. Try to understand why she wants the abortion. Try to help her understand why you want to keep the child. Try to reach common ground. Legally it's her choice. And I think that's the right thing for the law to say, because a decision can't be split 50/50. Ultimately someone has to make the call. So this is a situation where the "it's in her body" argument actually makes sense to me. The man and the woman both have a stake in this pregnancy (and as a matter of human decency, she real…	/r/MensRights	23/04/17 11:32 AM
2	Currently a trending feminist outrage about a judge claiming a "convicted rapist is a good man" is hitting everywhere. Here's the facts from the case. Have a look and see if you're seeing the same red flags of bullshit. http://www.utah-domestic-violence-attorney.com/domestic-violence-sexual-offenses/object-rape.php	/r/MGTOW	19/04/17 05:14 PM
4	Maryland just made it easier for false rape accusations. Removing requirement of evidence you were forced into sex, making claims of rape all the evidence needed. They defend this violation of due process with disgustingly disingenuous "making it illegal to require a woman fights back to be raped". Is the law different where you live?	/r/MensRights	19/04/17 11:53 AM
6	Question: Why Do You Continue To Talk To A Society That Hates You? As bad as things are right now... they could still get worse. What would you recommend? That we stop talking about this stuff?	/r/MensRights	19/04/17 11:19 AM
2	Girl comes out as boy, has a moment of clarity, so she returns to identifying as girl [comics] Why do you say that? I'd bet that the average man on the street could do a much better job of coming up with a list of feminists' complaints than the average woman on the street could do of coming up with a list of MRAs' complaints.	/r/MensRights	15/07/16 02:09 PM
2	Girl comes out as boy, has a moment of clarity, so she returns to identifying as girl [comics] I think his statement was quite plausible. I think men are much more aware of women's problems than women are of men's problems, because feminism is a massively powerful movement that's been shouting as loudly as possible for decades about every problem women have. We've all heard their list of complaints. Whereas when MRAs try to speak up about the problems men face, feminists scream obscenities and block the doors, or get them branded as misogynists, or get them fired from their jobs, or shame…	/r/MensRights	15/07/16 12:20 PM
5	Girl comes out as boy, has a moment of clarity, so she returns to identifying as girl [comics] Motte and bailey. You want to say that it's "sexist by definition" to make sweeping negative generalizations about women? Fine, no problem, we can certainly define the word that way, and AloysiusC certainly did make a generalization. But so what? The only question that matters is whether his generalization is true. You made no effort whatsoever to actually argue that what he said wasn't true. You just called it "hilariously sexist" (as if making a generalization is a bad thing even if it's true)…	/r/MensRights	15/07/16 11:17 AM
3	100% of men rape... SJW logic Last I heard, that was bullshit. Rape is bad. It would be great if this kind of "teach men not to rape" campaign actually reduced rape. But as best I can tell, it doesn't. It just paints men as the enemy and encourages men to feel shitty about themselves for being men.	/r/MensRights	12/07/16 03:49 PM
9	Are reluctant men to blame for so many women being childless? Record numbers are never becoming mothers - and not by choice. It's my fault. All my fault. I am so, so sorry. I was the one who didn't father those nonexistent babies. Every single one of them.	/r/MensRights	07/01/16 09:27 PM
9	Why have they even mentioned a man. Just out of curiosity, what are the statistics? (i.e. What percentage of rapists are female?) (I'm not trying to minimize it, I'd just like to know what the actual facts are.)	/r/MensRights	06/01/16 01:31 AM
1	Man stabbed in the heart by his partner. Immediate victim blaming in the news story, by asking if it was self-defence (wouldn't ask that if the women was the victim) They did. Did you miss the part where they arrested her and charged her?	/r/MensRights	04/01/16 07:16 PM
3	Man stabbed in the heart by his partner. Immediate victim blaming in the news story, by asking if it was self-defence (wouldn't ask that if the women was the victim) It's not decent to assume it. It is decent to ask the question. To investigate.	/r/MensRights	04/01/16 07:10 PM
3	Man stabbed in the heart by his partner. Immediate victim blaming in the news story, by asking if it was self-defence (wouldn't ask that if the women was the victim) I agree that our society is more likely to ask about (and accept claims about) whether it was self-defence in cases where the woman is the perpetrator. But still, it's a good thing that they're asking whether there was an element of self-defence involved. That's the right thing to do. That's what should be done in cases where the sexes are reversed, too. (And I do get angry in cases where a man's claims of self-defence are dismissed just because he's a man.) This story doesn't seem to me like it…	/r/MensRights	04/01/16 02:28 PM
82	Accused of molesting the children I babysit Are you sure that this is good advice? I'd be worried that the police would believe the aunt, not the 16-year-old male. Heck, I'd be worried that the aunt would call the police herself. (I don't know anything at all about what normally happens in situations like this. But this sounds like a dangerous situation for him.)	/r/MensRights	20/12/15 03:25 PM
3	Should we be doing more to expose paternity fraud? Just out of curiosity, how would you feel about having hospitals routinely do a paternity test for every baby that's born there? (That way it's not personal.)	/r/MensRights	16/11/15 08:13 PM
15	Feminists are more bothered by manspreading than by circumcision. Let that sink in. I'm not sure about this, and I'm not one of the ones who downvoted you, but I think you've being downvoted because: You didn't explain why you thought that, you just asserted it, and it's contrary to our experience. (I've seen quite a few angry feminists ranting about manspreading. I can't recall seeing any feminists ranting about circumcision. But when I Google it now, I see stuff like this and this. So it does seem like they're out there.) You said "I'm a feminist" as if that was relevant. (Th…	/r/MensRights	14/11/15 11:08 PM
20	Feminists are more bothered by manspreading than by circumcision. Let that sink in. It bothers me that feminists claim to be interested in equality and fairness, that they claim to be working towards justice for men too, when generally they're just on The Side Of Women, period. It bothers me that they're bothered by "manspreading" at all. It doesn't especially bother me that they don't care about circumcision. Or in general that they care more about women's issues than men's issues. If someone is especially interested in helping women and doesn't really care about helping men, …	/r/MensRights	14/11/15 09:59 PM

4	What do you think is the "real number" for most girls? Seriously, they understand your point just fine. Do you understand that they're trying to say something important about our culture and about human nature, and that you're pointlessly hassling them with pedantic trivialities that they already understand?	/r/TheRedPill	16/02/13 03:31 AM
