Mens magazines do the same thing. They sing the praises of living like a rough and tough, old fashioned, manual laborer, man's man. Which of course means buying 6000$ watches, never wearing less than two grands worth of clothes. Just like grandpa! Because if you don't pay at least 500$ for your shoes, you're not wearing real shoes and you're not a real man.

From what I've seen this is a divisive issue, but I think the point that has the biggest consensus is that if women can make the choice to abort unilaterally, men should have the option to renounce their paternal rights and obligations as well.

This is something that they often point to when talking about male priviledge. That men don't need to discuss things from a gendered perspective as the male perspective is the assumed default. For instance, there's a /r/Girlgamer sub, because due to PatriarchyTM, a gamer is assumed male. Of course, it's handwaved away when you try to explain that guys for the most part don't mind if ladies contribute to a discussion without prefacing everything with their gender.

The Bride believed her daughter had been killed by Bill. Her husband actually was. Hence the Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Since she "reformed", she did not kill for pleasure or for business, she did so for the same reasons a lot of normal, well-adjusted people would very much entertain the idea. It's all in the justification: people can sympathize with a parent avenging their child. Less with someone who kills for business.

The SRS crowd uses it as a blanket: "You cannot have an opinion about this." Their post-modernist reasonning is that if there is no objective, definite truth, it cannot be measured from the outside, therefore only those living a situation are ever qualified to have an opinion about it. This is a wonderful circlejerky philosophy, right up to the point where it crashes violently with reality. There's a good reason scientific method prefers distance between the scientist and the subject. To re-use …

Unless we make a habit of checking the copied text, though, someone could game that as well. By starting with posting a heinous message, then quickly editing it before people start commenting and upvoting, then turning it back into the heinous message once it's been commented on. Also, it's quite ridiculous how people would think it's necessary to do this to us.

The way I see it, the belief that men are/were more privileged than women or that women are/were more privileged than men can only ever be an opinion, it can't be quantified. So if someone comes to a false conclusion it can never really be proven and therefore the "acceptability" of their opinion is only yet another opinion. This way of seeing things cannot be held by someone who consider herself a skeptic. It would be a display of pure hypocrisy.

My story must seem as unbelievable as how I perceive all this, and I wish I had some objective stat saying "X amount of feminists say this".

There are indeed a lot of men (probably most) who aren't really tough. And most are told very often they, as men, should be. This disconnect between what men are, and what men are expected to be I think has very much to answer for with regards to depression, alcooholism, recklessness... For all the bad feminism has done, one of the greatest things it did is making it not okay to judge a women on what she does for a living. Fuck if I know why we still tolerate it for men.

I had one in college. I was fairly well off, no real reason in my environment to make me feel this way. I've never had issues making friends, I had a job, studied in a field I was pretty good in. But one day I started feeling like I just didn't measure up to expectations: I was merely doing a technical degree while my brother, father and most of my friends went to university. This made it harder to motivate myself, which led to lower performance, which yet again led me to think I didn't measure …

The way I see it, it's also useful to get the cooperation of parents. The moment you become a parent, it is (usually) a self-evident thing: you would (normally) do anything to save your child, period. I can easily imagine parents going batshit insane, and even literally murderous, if the life of their child was "traded" for the life of a random stranger. So I think that could still be a valid social reason for children first.

The problem is that you can't use "acceptance of a as the correct conclusion on the subject of x" as a prerequisite to discussing what is the correct conclusion on the subject of x. You cannot use "you don't accept that my position is right, therefore you do not know what you're talking about" as a reasonable debate tactic. The other issue with this is that it assumes that the person saying it has better knowledge of the other part of it. Gender is like a coin; you can see one side of it, but no…

Not assigning roles is not the same as ignoring differences between the sexes. There are awesome male nurses, and women mechanics. No one should be pigeonholed in a job or role on the statistical likelihood they would be good at it due to their gender. Moreover, arguing in favor of gendered roles in society is giving feminists the biggest weapon they could want in their fight against fatherhood.

Except not calling out other feminists is how feminism got to be this way.

I'm sorry, but those asking to meet you in a public place are right. It's not about you being a man, it's about you being a stranger. I do the internet dating thing too, and I would insist on meeting someone in a public place. As for the other one who won't meet you at all, I'm suspecting she's probably going on dates with a guy she considers a more interesting prospect than you, but want to keep you as an option if it doesn't work out with that guy.

I'm not judging her for making the choice of staying at home, but I think she needs to understand she is incredibly priviledged to have the opportunity of not working. And I say not working because this is what it is, despite all the "being a parent and taking care of the house full time is harder than any job" BS; there are plenty of moms and dads who accomplish just as much as she does and have a full-time job.

IANAL, but I'm fairly sure it would not absolve the guy of financial responsibility: if a boy being raped does not absolve him of financial responsibility towards the child the rapist decided to keep, I think it's pretty clear that the law will allow nothing to absolve the financial responsibility. If the contract is valid, though, it might be possible to sue for breach of contract.

If archeologists from the year 3000 were to look at the society of 2000 through our recorded media, I think they'd probably have the same kind of opinion of us than the one we have of people in the middle-ages.

There are many points on which we disagree, but there are points on which you will find we very much agree.

Exactly; feminists are slowly losing ground in the media. Or rather: we've been making real gains recently in the PR department, thanks to some very visible slip-ups on feminists' part. We should be thanking Sharon Osborne for providing us with a potent example of men being dehumanized.

Trust me. More than half of all marriages end in divorce. I'm not contesting that (albeit I'm not confirming it either). What I'm arguing is the proportion of men that get divorced by unilateral decision from the wife is, by your own statistics, lower than what you say in your conclusion. It is not the most likely outcome of marriage: the most likely outcome is at 45% a "successful" marriage, 38.5% get divorced by wife and 16.5% other divorces.

Yes, but I think his point stands that most marriages ending in divorces and most divorces being initiated by women does not mean most marriages end in divorces initiated by women. 70% of 55% is still 38.5%. It's not even the most likely outcome. Of men that marry, 45% stay with their wife, 38.5% get divorced by their wife and 16.5% either divorce their wife or divorce by common agreement.

Exactly. There are post-pubescent teens that are still not of legal age or even consent age that are physically, and sometimes psychologically mature, and biologically, we can't help but find attractive. There are, however, good reasons why there is a "legal" age and an age of consent; the law cannot operate on a case-per-case basis, so lines had to be drawn, and the lines were drawn between 16 and 21.

For the most part, eberkimer is right. The police is hardly able to stop any crime. Providing it isn't too dependant on happening in a specific time and place, most criminals with half a brain cell could arrange to commit their crime in a place where the police would not be able to interrupt them. Police dissuade by enforcing a punishment for crime, but for the most part, they can't stop it. Only the criminal himself can reliably do that.

Giving someone the opportunity to do something doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to take this opportunity.

So, according to you, women deserve a more than equal say into something they contribute to less than equally.

What I mean is that in the US, as feminists are mostly aligned with the left-wing, there is some overlap between libertarians and MRAs, but it is not due to any intrinsic link between the two ideologies.

That is a great book; it talks about a lot more than just these extracts. It's very interesting because she has a unique insight, not as a woman, but as an outside observer. I really heartily recommand it, and I'd suggest it to a feminist that has trouble understanding why the Men's Rights movement exists.

The insanity! These are people that have internalized the role of victim so much, that they're accusing themselves of victimizing their own damn selves in the name of Patriarchy. There are no limits to how twisted the mental gymastics these people will perform to justify their belief in a Patriarchy.

In some ways, they are responsible, yes. For instance, father's rights are very related to the traditional view of men as distant fathers. In some other ways, though, refusing to accept biological roles is responsible for damaging other men's rights. By refusing to accept that there are differences in ability between men and women, feminists have come to expect equality of results. Their thinking goes like this: if men and women are just as capable of doing anything, the only possible reason for…

Someone thought that it people interested in mensrights would find it interesting. If they do, it's upvoted, if they don't, it's downvoted. That's what reddit is; the editorial line is what the group finds interesting. EDIT: And to preempt the question that will surely follow, it's mostly upvoted because it undermines one of the core tenets of feminist doctrine: that traditional gender roles are the result of men oppressing women.

If you really need to make this about rights, then I would concede that biologically, there is obviously a good reason for giving more, or at least a fixed minimum, maternity leave for women. But it's not about rights; it's about masculinity. There should be equality of opportunity for everyone. There is a biological basis for men's behavior and women's behavior, but it doesn't really matter when it comes to people's rights, as there are a number of cases of people being born outside of what is …

We don't blind ourselves to facts and science. Masculinity needs help; but it's not by inventing a concept out of thin air like gender studies nonsense about sexes and sexual orientations being fluid that we'll get anywhere. We need to know what being a man means, both in the biological and psychological meaning, before we can redefine masculinity in a way that will be more agreable with modern feminity.

Moreover, our bathroom social norms would go down the shitter (pun intended) if women were allowed. tl;dr We don't want wome…

1) How does this title change what the movement is about? It is quite obviously said in jest. We don't tend to get hung up on this. By the response we get from the feminist movements, the very existance of a Men's Rights Movement seems to be considered hateful. Better laugh about it than let it get to you. 2) We want equality, but we're not fighting for equality in general.

I would think most custody battles are not fought over breastfed children who are less than a year old. Men in the US and Canada do not typically stay at home with the children for more than a few weeks. Here, in Canada, mothers have a 15 weeks and there is a shared bank of 35 weeks for both parents, but it is at 55% of their salary, but that is mostly used by the mother. Not sure for the US. Personally, I don't think the Canadian system for parental leave is too bad. Some places have it worse f…

Yes, changing the legislation and how it's applied is one of the aims of the movement, but the other part is changing the perception of men in society. The thing about these claims is that whether they are true or not has little bearing over a custody battle; these are about the child's best interest, and not about the right of a parent to have access to his child. Even a tiny little doubt can weigh in the balance, especially with the claims from feminist groups that rape and domestic violence v…

Ideally, in situations where neither the father nor the mother is batshit insane, joint custody should be the norm. As for the cases with a history of susbtance abuse or violence; do we really know the truth? Many men here have had their ex wife or girlfriend accuse them of such thing in order to affect a custody judgment. I'm sure some will chime in with their experience. If you look at the overall perception of men in the media and society in general, it would be hard to argue that this does n…

Often, those with the most hatred are those who have been burned the most, usually by family courts removing their sons and daughters from them. I hope I don't need to tell you how strong the bond between a parent and their child usually is; it's not any weaker for men than it is for women. While I don't agree with blaming all women for this kind of injustice, I'm not sure I'd be able to think about it rationally if I had my children removed.

Yes, but the question is framed as a trap: "Why do you MensRights men hate women?" implies that it is a defining characteristic of the movement to hate women. It is not, some MRAs hate women, and we don't censor them for it, but the movement as a whole doesn't. In essence, it's the same kind of trick question as "Have you stopped beating your wife?", in that by answering the question you are admitting to something.

The thing is, we're quite happy to shed as many loonies as we can. Take the White Supremacists, for instance (or White Nationalists or whatever) that try to latch on to the Men's Rights movement. I've yet to see anything comparable happening on the other side of the fence. The other problem is that feminists are defining "the problem that is causing both of our suffering" as "patriarchy". And thus their solution is typically empowering women and disempowering men. If you want an example, think a…

Take a look at the thread you posted on Feminism. What do you see there? "Patriarchy hurts men too" (blaming men), a lot of vague mentions of "male privilege", no effort in understanding or explaining. These things are gospel to the theoretical feminists who control the movement. They are never questionned; any dissent is shamed or excommunicated. What can't you see there? An honest discussion. Here? Well, I disagree with several posters here, I do believe that gender equality is possible, but m…

Indeed. No sane person would ever consider rape to be worse than murder. No matter what you do, you can never get over being murdered. But society has warped us such that our perception of a rapist and a murderer are totally unbalanced. Best example would be TV and movies. Try making a movie that makes a rapist look sympathetic, or actually just anything else than a complete monster. A shitstorm is inevitable. You don't, however, have to look far to find an example of a show or movie with a symp…

Little correction here: while the man's word is law in an "old-fashioned" relationship, in most cases it was the woman taking care of the money. Technically, I guess some guys and gals might like this arrangement, society didn't move into that model without any reason. But there are so many problems with it. First, wealth is relative to the wealth of others, and with a single source of revenue, it would take a very very wealthy man to comfortably support a family alone. Certainly not working cla…

Most guys I know around my age have learned how to defuse that specific "fear" by exagerating it. Most of the time, when someone calls you gay, it's all in jest, and as with all good-natured ribbing, the best answer is not to get defensive but to go along with the joke.

The jokes are being frowned upon because it goes against the feminist agenda of making rape the ultimate bogeyman. By any reasonable standard, murder is a much worse crime than rape, but somehow feminists have managed to make the rapist such a monster that even just being accused of being one makes someone an inacceptable risk, guilty or not. That's what makes false accusations and creative redefinitions of rape such a powerful weapon for them. By joking, you're dedramatising something that, whi…
