3	South Korean government offers almost $100K per baby to combat “national extinction” Faulty argument. I said it can tip the scales, which implies that it will help those already on the fence. Its not. Meanwhile your entire argument hinges on roughly $200/m making the difference on having a child, which is side-achingly laughably absurd. Your argument says “well not in the case of those who are uninterested in children” - which clearly isn’t who I’m talking about. But it is the demographic that is being targeted by this policy. You know, the vast vast vast vast vast vast vast vas…	/r/MensRights	23/04/24 09:23 PM
13	South Korean government offers almost $100K per baby to combat “national extinction” It can tip the scales Not even remotely close. The reason for declining birth rates has next to nothing to do with the additional transient monetary costs, and more to do with the unfathomable lifelong opportunity costs and it being devoid of any perceived positives for would be parents in urban environments. Basically, you could pay people to have children, but it would effectively enough to overcome those lifelong issues. 100k is laughable in that regard. For people otherwise uninterested in c…	/r/MensRights	23/04/24 07:35 PM
-1	South Korean government offers almost $100K per baby to combat “national extinction” You want babies, easy! Its neither easy, nor will any of the things you've listed have any notable impact on birth rates.	/r/MensRights	23/04/24 07:30 PM
1	South Korean government offers almost $100K per baby to combat “national extinction” It’s not even just a men thing. If you want more babies, you should also introduce... Won't have any appreciable affect. None of the things you listed have any sort of significant impact.	/r/MensRights	23/04/24 07:28 PM
15	Why are all male characters in movies muscular and built in a way that's not even close to reality ? Chris hemsworth just talked about him needing a mental health break from Thor cause the work outs were too extreme. For the record, this statement is garbage-ass loaded/misleading and basically a cop-out. There are plenty of effective exercise programs to get you that type of muscle mass. Tons of people run them essentially forever, and they aren't an issue in the slightest, even at decent levels of leanness. So that empirically isn't the issue. So what is? Almost certainly the batshit insane ce…	/r/MensRights	09/07/23 09:16 PM
2	Share of 40-year-old Americans who have never been married hits record high You mind sharing you thoughts? The short version is that It means even in marriage, woman are choosing and/or going after the same exact subset of men as partners (just like in dating). Woman make up a little over 50% of the population for adults in their 40s. So all things being equal, you'd expect to see similar, but a tiny bit slightly higher, single rates for woman. So there's numbers should be something like 24.9 male and 25.1 female. The fact there are notably different indicates something…	/r/MensRights	03/07/23 01:05 AM
5	Share of 40-year-old Americans who have never been married hits record high Men were slightly more likely than women to remain unmarried into their 40s in 2021, with 28 percent of men and 22 percent of women falling into this category The implications of this is statement is a lot more interesting than at first glance, especially if you consider the fact the females make up slightly more of the US population. Not very surprising since this observation exists in dating as well, but interesting none the less.	/r/MensRights	02/07/23 07:14 AM
23	Share of 40-year-old Americans who have never been married hits record high If I weren’t already married I’d be noping out of the dating culture. Not worth it. Lets be honest: dating culture is just one of the causes. When it comes to the marriage, its the legal structure of marriage itself that is the biggest problem. Until there's major reform of marriage and family law, marriage is just going to continue to decline. Marriage right now is just a bat shit insane gamble with absurdly high risk and dubious benefits. You're basically tying a noose around your own neck and…	/r/MensRights	02/07/23 06:38 AM
14	Man who changed gender from female weeps while explaining how much easier it was to make friends as a female and says he can see why suicide rate among males is higher I would have very strong urges to kill myself or at least Id be depressed for the rest of my life. Ignorance really is bliss, relatively speaking.	/r/MensRights	12/06/23 01:24 PM
15	I sent 100 applications as a man and a woman. It's MUCH better being a woman As someone who's been in software engineering for decades now, I thought this was common knowledge. Female candidates get at least a free interview pass due to diversity requirements. Reason being, they are so rare compared to male candidates, that if you aren't at least interviewing essentially every single one, its going to (ironically) look like gender discrimination. I'm not saying they are necessarily getting extended offers at their interview rates. But at the same time let be honest, you …	/r/MensRights	13/09/22 09:01 AM
3	men "hate" foreplay because they get nothing out of it. Do you agree? Yes and no. When ever this subject comes up, I see that real issue in how its treated so dichotomously. e.g if you don't 'love' foreplay unconditionally, they you must 'hate' it. In reality, life, and especially sex, is much more nuanced than that. Do I think men 'hate' foreplay? No. But I think there's a whole spectrum of 'foreplay' out there that many men do not enjoy, and for good reason. You've noted one such paradigm with it being considered one-sided. I would highlight two ot…	/r/MensRights	20/06/22 12:26 AM
2	A constant theme I've noticed among my female friends who use dating apps that a lot of women have unrealistic expectations of what kind of men they can get. I would like to point out that we, men, don't exactly show them otherwise. Its it really unrealistic though if this is the case? When virtually any woman that looks even remotely human, can get virtually any man any time, isn't that expectation (in general) completely justified?	/r/seduction	26/04/22 04:43 PM
6	A typical FDS poster and the proper response lol...yeah...owning a BMW is not a 'standard' of wealth. If you think that, its safe to assume you're probably broke as a joke. Spoiler: BMWs are only slightly more expensive than the average car. There's a reason you see them fucking everywhere.	/r/PussyPassDenied	23/03/22 02:42 PM
0	I hate that I am circumsised That's weird, not a single pediatrics organization recommends routine infant circumcision, while many recommend against it, on both medical and ethical grounds. Dude, did you even read what I wrote? at all? When did I ever argue for circumcisions? Spoiler: Never. Yet you claim 100% of the peer-reviewed research disagrees with them? No, I didn't claim this. Stop putting words in my mouth because you refuse to read before commenting. If you fucking bothered to actually read my what I wrote, you'd …	/r/MensRights	27/04/21 08:16 PM

-4	I hate that I am circumsised you're wrong on literally every topic Lol. Oh really? So you think the NIH, and all the associated peer reviewed research on male sexual function, is "wrong"? The basic mechanics of sex are "wrong"? Because if "you're wrong on literally every topic", that is what you are saying. not to mention the whole point of mensrights is to listen to men and not be dismissive of their problems like society in general is. You're confusing being dismissive with calling out obvious bullshit. I'm glad you don't…	/r/MensRights	27/04/21 06:59 PM

2	I hate that I am circumsised Literally just copy paste from of your /r/unpopularopinon post. So, you didn't like the response or what? Well, buckle up, you're on MenRights now. I hate that I need to use lube when I have sex or I hurt my partner. I hate that I have had partners tell me they are afraid to give me handjobs because my skin is tight and they don't want to hurt me. This has nothing to do with being circumcised. I hate that my skin is actually tight and it makes it difficult to masturbate. Go see a doctor. This is…	/r/MensRights	27/04/21 02:53 PM

3	Dating as a man is completely exhausting because it feels like I have to do almost all of the heavy lifting all of the time Your body isn't exempt from the laws of thermodynamics. Correct. However, the body isn't a simple physics 101 machine. Calories in, calories out. ...If you're not losing weight you're not counting right. lol the instant downvote, shows what kind of person you are. Ehhh not necessarily. While you can control/set a hard CI, CO can actually vary based on a variety of factors, one of which is CI itself. There have been some pretty interesting findings around NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis…	/r/MensRights	12/04/21 12:12 AM
1	Classic double standards But where does that laziness come from? Its just plain old "why should I give a fuck". The way most people approach food is basically toddler-like: People are presented food, people put all food in mouth, regardless of what or how much. People gains weight surprised pikachu. I think the insane work culture of the US explains the need to make everything outside of work quick, dirty, and convenient Be that as it may be, it only makes the laziness more apparent. What you eat matters a lot less than…	/r/MensRights	21/04/20 01:16 PM
7	Classic double standards we both agree on what's the issue but disagree on the solution...at some point the only thing that can make a person try to exercise, go outside and get healthier is themselves There is only one solution: stop eating so much. Period. End of story. The fundamental foundation of weight management is CICO. Exercise is a great supplement to diet and good for overall health. But its not a solution for over eating. Telling people "you're fat and immobile go do something with your life" constantly isn'…	/r/MensRights	21/04/20 11:48 AM
8	Classic double standards he pulled that 70% out his ass. If CDC is my ass, then yes. Percent of adults aged 20 and over with obesity: 39.8% (2015-2016) Percent of adults aged 20 and over with overweight, including obesity: 71.6% (2015-2016) https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/obesity-overweight.htm	/r/MensRights	21/04/20 11:47 AM
17	Classic double standards but shaming them and calling them lazy isn't gonna help anyone. I've been hearing that for years. Now, the vast majority of adults (like 70%) are overweight and beyond. The time for mincing words and sugar coating has past. The only way you get this fat is through total apathy towards your own health. This is almost entirely a result of eating way too many calories due, primarily, to laziness. It time to start shaming that, hard. Exercise/fitness is great and all. But as someone put it: you can'…	/r/MensRights	21/04/20 08:23 AM
