1	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts yeah. we just disagree. to me this view presents a lot of problems with not a lot of good solutions; just assuming absolutes about everyone being against you isn't doing much unless you strive to fix it. to me, its our responsibility to convince the latter group to be the prevalent one. we will not do this with the current tactics seen in this subreddit	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 10:39 PM
1	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts i agree but i think youre making it a black and white issue, when theres really a spectrum of methods we can use to eventually link up with the feminist movement, and we cant keep throwing punches until someone gives in. but i agree, checks and balances are always necessary. im saying what exists currently in this subreddit, to me, is too severe a system to be considered merely "checking" feminism	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 10:23 PM
-1	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts agreed. but what i see is a mottling of the feminist movement; a movement that a lot of women join to legitimately stop the oppression that they themselves face. i feel like men's rights isnt going to get anywhere by accusing that broad category of being at fault all of the time. there are feminists who deny the existence of male-related issues. how do we deal with it? certainly not by accusing the whole movement of being illegitimate. this is a section of society we need to, eventually, be one …	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 10:20 PM
1	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts i totally agree with that but i feel like we have to realize that feminism = women's rights. feminist ideology is so broad that it should be considered synonymous with "women's rights". this is the problem the subreddit has with the sweeping generalizations: not all feminists are the way that guys here define them as, and when they use "feminism" they push away all women who want to be conscious of equality. we shouldnt rely on others to know our specific difference between "feminism" and "women…	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 10:10 PM
-1	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts yeah. the gist i got from this was the: "when a certain ideology hides victims of a certain gender and inflates statistics of another gender you have to begin to question the legitimacy of that ideology" which im not sure happens to the degree many here make it out to be. both you and the guy above you referenced the same story. theres legitimacy in these claims that feminists do these things but the methods that are used to argue against them isnt something that leads me to believe that we are …	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 10:04 PM
0	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts i dont want to make any general claims about men's or women's rights activists. i just want things to not be how they are. but thanks for the info!	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 09:49 PM
0	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts great reply. first, i think its pretty logical for one gender not to know the extent of the oppression the other side faces, because they arent that gender, and inherently they don't face the same things. so i will say without a doubt that men/women who do not defer to the opposite sex about their issues will not ever have the full picture. as for making women partial to these help programs, that is an issue, but its one we can solve/bring awareness about without getting into accusations of femi…	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 09:47 PM
-1	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts a great analogy, definitely, i just don't think we are focusing enough on what is going to prevent us from getting punched. feminists arent the only ones doing the punching/oppressing and there are extraneous reasons for the disadvantages men have, in the same way that men/men's rights activists aren't the sole source of the oppression of women.	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 09:37 PM
1	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts interesting. thanks for the links/information. ill reply later when ive read/seen em.	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 09:24 PM
1	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts first of all, i just want you to know that i am open to my view on this topic being changed, so lets keep this simple and without ego. i dont think its ok to demonize somebody, and i didnt say that. i said its less of a priority than other pressing issues, such as the domestic violence one. i dont think both of those issues go hand in hand. the generalizations you make about feminists serve no purpose in getting my voice as an individual heard. why isn't it better to just reveal the information/…	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 09:21 PM
0	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts at least smaller than it does now, for sure	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 09:13 PM
-2	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts im not too keen on what that means but i think what you're saying is that: i claimed feminists don't demonize men, but if the majority of them do then its wrong for me to call them untrue feminists. this is certainly a good conclusion but i think the reality is that most feminists pose no threat to men's rights. in general. so when i say priorities what i mean is, lets not focus so much on demonization, but have it play a small, small role in what we do here.	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 09:12 PM
-3	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts feminism is not close to being a social institution. it is a broad category that you cant define; though it general its aim is to further women's representation in society. the methods that thousands of feminist organizations use to do this aren't what i want to be focused on. what i want to focus on is the issues discussed in the faq. the reason these issues aren't solved is because society doesn't consider them a priority; not because they are being actively hidden. thats borderline conspiracy…	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 09:04 PM

-7	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts the demonization of men is the most prevalent topic on here, and yet the least pressing. its also not advocated by any feminists who want to be taken seriously, this i promise you. priorities	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 08:55 PM
3	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts the faq denies this generalization of feminism	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 08:37 PM
1	Disparity Between FAQ and Posts but cant we be less apathetic and get some good, men's activism content on here? posts about women's methods of achieving their equality isn't, to me, a breach of my rights. "on par with feminists" is the sort of generalizing of feminists im talking about. this confirmation bias that most feminists hate men, as if its relevant to men's rights	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 08:35 PM
