| 5 | As it turns out, successful women are embarrassed to talk about their husbands who are stay-at-home dads.Heterosexual men are probably more flexible with what kind of woman they will accept for a mate than women are with men. Rewiring biology is hard, and a lot of this stuff has more to do with biology than most feminists are willing to accept. Not that there isn't any cultural influence on gender roles at all, of course, but changing our culture alone isn't going to start producing women who are by default and in general more suited to certain traditional masculine roles, and vice versa. | /r/MensRights | 11/12/13 03:37 AM |

PLAN (Because I'm a Girl Report, 2013): "women and children are 14 times more likely than men to die in a disaster"...in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.

| 2 | Why do feminists always accuse "nice guys" of being entitled?Because when a "nice guy" gets used by a woman stringing him haplessly along, it demonstrates one of many areas in which women have clear power over men. Feminism can't abide this; their power comes from spreading the dogma that women are always subjugated to the abuses of men, and never the other way around. Thus, what they must do is take this well-known example of female power and twist it around to make it appear as though the victim is actually the abuser and that the abuser is actually the… | /r/MensRights | 09/12/13 03:35 AM |

If more women choose to actually get involved in the game industry we will see greater output of games which have appeal for women. I don't see how this could honestly be considered controversial. And there are plenty of positions where women can get involved.

Starting out with a blatant straw man. I never said that. Not because there were literally RULES and LAWS keeping us from joining. Regarding the military, sure. Of course, these rules and laws were nearly the lowest priority for women's rights activists if the chronology of feminist activism has anything to say about priorities.

Do you really think she cares whether he earned it as a doctor or a lawyer? What he does is merely circumstantial. And I will still argue that this is fine. She is making a judgement in an instant as to his value to her as a potential mate. What she isn't doing is permanently reducing him to his possessions and social status and thus really dehumanizing him. Same goes for men not… | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 11:48 PM |

The idea that objectification is the precursor to wholesale dehumanization is taken for granted in the gender roles narrative and needs to be called into question more often.

I can't say this line of reasoning makes sense to me. Frequent visits to the doctor lower an individual's risk of long-term, expensive health complications.

In the aggregate, what we're seeing is that women are in fact doing most of the spending and that whoever actually happens to "own" the wealth isn't exactly turning off the tap.

I had been looking forward to this documentary, but didn't know anything about the creators. No examination of men's issues is complete if it attempts to corral all of the causation within the fence of masculine traits without considering the contributions of the other half of society.

Oh, and since gay men are not masculine, they are necessarily feminine, so teaching guys to respect women also teaches them to respect gay men.

I would also say there are abundant societal changes in today's world which might suggest changes to the ancient traditions of human sexual relationships. That doesn't necessarily mean just hook-up culture, but also serial monogamy or longer-term polygamy (as opposed to short-term hook-ups). That said, long-term relationships have many benefits which cannot be … | /r/MensRights | 09/05/13 05:04 AM |
| 0 | "Why Is There a Hookup Culture?": Young women are under feminist pressure to show that they couldn't care less about forming an exclusive, let alone permanent, relationship with a man.Excellent points. I would also posit that approaching sex in this way contributes quite a bit to after-sex regret, which is becoming more and more (in in some countries already is) equated with rape. Which just compounds the problem. That said, I think "hook up culture" can be a positive thing for both men and women. It just requires the right attitude from all participating parties, that the people engaging in hooking up are emotionally mature. Unfortunately there's a lot which gets in the way … | /r/MensRights | 09/05/13 04:56 AM |
| 4 | The World is Focusing on Women's Issues While Happily Ignoring Men'sI have read my shit. I suggest you do the same. I don't think it takes an academic paper to point out that men's issues don't get a lot of media coverage. We have a hard enough time just trying to convince people that we have issues at all or that they're worth addressing. Insurance companies cover Viagra but not birth control. I'm with you on this. I think birth control should definitely be covered (including the male pill when it finally reaches the market), and I think the rationale for cover… | /r/MensRights | 09/05/13 03:41 AM |
| 2 | Robinsons, doing it right.So very touching. Why do we need the MRM? Because this is what is lost when men, boyhood, and fatherhood are routinely ignored or vilified and when fathers are forcefully alienated from their children based on false pretexts. | /r/MensRights | 06/05/13 11:41 PM |
| 51 | Teenager falsely accused of rape beaten to death by gangRape culture is a concept used to describe a culture in which rape and sexual violence are common and in which prevalent attitudes, norms, practices, and media normalize, excuse, tolerate, or even condone rape. Yep. Sure seems like we're living in a world which normalizes, excuses, tolerates, and even condones rape... | /r/MensRights | 01/05/13 09:59 PM |
| 2 | From /r/bestof - "most Men's Rights issues come from men being required to fulfill their gender role in a patriarchy."Witholding the part we are expected to play by men and women alike would be construed as abusing our male privilege. It doesn't make sense, but I bet one could count the seconds before some feminist writes an article framing it exactly as such. | /r/MensRights | 01/05/13 12:50 AM |
| 3 | From /r/bestof - "most Men's Rights issues come from men being required to fulfill their gender role in a patriarchy."TIL only other men expect men to fulfill traditional and potentially harmful male roles. Women never expect such things of men, therefore Patriarchy. | /r/MensRights | 01/05/13 12:48 AM |
| 2 | Feminist Reaction to the tragic death of Earl Silverman on Salon.So a feminist writes an article downplaying the importance of this man's work in providing actual service to the largely silent male victims of DV, and this commenter can still claim without irony that it's the patriarchy keeping them silenced? That level of cognitive dissonance must take a lot of work to maintain. | /r/MensRights | 30/04/13 01:59 AM |
| 1 | The term "patriarchy theory" is inconsistent with its own definition, as defined by its own proponentsOkay, let's go down this road. You're still choosing to ignore the rest of my argument. Even if I might be wrong on this one point, the rest of my argument stands unchallenged if you refuse to acknowledge it. Now. Persistence hunting. Was it used to hunt the mammoth? The best information I can find is that a common strategy was actually to ambush a herd near a cliff and drive the largest one they could off the cliff. This doesn't involve endurance running so much as ambushing and startling the a… | /r/MensRights | 26/04/13 04:53 AM |
| 2 | The term "patriarchy theory" is inconsistent with its own definition, as defined by its own proponentsThis is just another misrepresentation. I simply said that the strategy posited by these radical feminists would not work very well. I'm not saying that women employing a better strategy (like the ones tribes actually used) would be incapable of hunting. Your choice here is to dismiss my entire argument on the basis of misrepresenting one piece of it which was not even near the crux of our argument. Would you like to try again from a place of honesty? | /r/MensRights | 26/04/13 04:05 AM |
| 1 | The term "patriarchy theory" is inconsistent with its own definition, as defined by its own proponentsThe last article just doesn't seem directly relivent, and to reach your conclusion, we have to suppose a great deal about what is "truly" motivating these women, and I can't see how the researchers jumped to the conclusion that women have a "greater range of career choices" compared to their male counterparts (it seems to me that standardized testing scores are not the same a course performance and enrollment in college). Why do you think that vastly more men do dangerous work than women, as evi… | /r/MensRights | 26/04/13 03:43 AM |
| 5 | Under law, colleges give sex offense accusers the option to kick men out of dorms or remove them from class even before a finding of guiltCollege campuses are becoming ever more hostile environments toward men, and this will inevitably worsen the already growing disparity of men in higher education.

| -2 | This wasn't in the rulebookSo even the ludicrous notion of a written consent contract prior to sex is insufficient to protect oneself from claims of rape? This is absurd. If I bring a notarized form to court co-signed by my accuser spelling out our equal consent to sexual intercourse at the time and place of the alleged rape, it can still be rape. Unbelievable. This basically makes any sex act able to be called rape at the whim of the accuser. Absolutely unbelievable. | /r/MensRights | 25/04/13 11:08 PM |
| 2 | $5,000 scholarship for single fathersIt's pretty easy to see how much income any person has available for their education, no matter what their particular situation.

| 0 | $5,000 scholarship for single fathersTrue, there are. So why do we need scholarships which target some particular cause of economic disadvantages when we have a general solution of targeting economic disadvantage of the whole? I'm open to suggestions as to the legitimate purpose of targeting one factor of economic disadvantage to the exclusion of all others. | /r/MensRights | 25/04/13 11:02 PM |

| 1 | Leno making a sexist jokeIt certainly is cultural to some extent. Some cultures do use the word today without any thought given to its original meaning as a vulgar word for "vulva". But where it is still used in its original meaning, one might say it's considered "dirty" to the extent that it's the use of vulgarity to describe the vulva, and not the vulva itself, causing the offense. And where slang is concerned in general, I might posit that there are many more slang words for male genitalia than for female genitalia, … | /r/MensRights | 25/04/13 10:04 PM |
| 2 | The term "patriarchy theory" is inconsistent with its own definition, as defined by its own proponentsEspecially in light of the fact that social and personality qualities which have been articulated with hegemonic masculinity (toughness, insensitivity, callousness, etc) are very damaging to the mental and physical health of men... Citation needed. This is quite a qualitative, subjective interpretation in your conclusion. Qualities perceived as being masculine are necessary to the very foundation of societal coexistence, even if carried to the extreme, in rare cases, they can become a detriment.… | /r/MensRights | 25/04/13 11:20 AM |

| 1 | The term "patriarchy theory" is inconsistent with its own definition, as defined by its own proponentsEven without factoring in making money off the ideology, one could say it's even just because blaming men might be cathartic for women who have had bad experiences with men. On the micro level, a woman who is resentful of men might, without even thinking much about it, begin to project that resent by blaming her problems on the men within and adjacent to her life. On the macro level, patriarchy extends that resentful blaming to an overarching theory which blames the problems of all women everywh… | /r/MensRights | 25/04/13 04:54 AM |
