Who's "disrespecting" you here?

| 14 | in defense of menSeriously? She uses an analogy of children to evaluate men. Like (paraphrased) "hey, men don't have to deal with much, but we generally assume that children don’t have much to deal with much either, and yet, we don’t blame them or hold that against them." Fuck that shit.

| 1 | Car Insurance Sexism.You're talking an awful lot about discrimination, but I never mentioned discrimination in my initial post. I talked about stereotyping - assigning the same characteristics to all people of a visible group. e.g. A higher percentage of men are reckless drivers, therefore ALL men should be treated as reckless drivers. And I questioned how people would react if a company similarly said "a higher percentage of visible minority group X get into car accidents, therefore ALL members of visible minority … | /r/MensRights | 27/05/12 05:55 PM |
| 1 | Car Insurance Sexism.I love how "No offense, but" comments are inevitably followed by something insulting. What did I make up exactly? Most of my post was questions, not statements of fact. I was merely stating that I think this will never happen, even if it can be backed up by statistics. It would be PR-suicide for the first company to come forward and state "based on statistical evidence, we are now going to be charging higher rates if you belong to Group X." | /r/MensRights | 27/05/12 05:50 PM |

Blacks? Is it still "racial stereotyping" if its backed up by statistics? Of course it would never fly; people would be up in arms. Men put up with too much bullsh-- like this. | /r/MensRights | 26/05/12 03:52 PM |

| 2 | "If women insist on viewing every man as Schrodinger's Rapist, then men will fight back by viewing every rape claim as Schrodinger's Accusation."Please explain how those can both be considered true at the same time. | /r/MensRights | 25/02/12 04:53 AM |
