16	Illinois Democrat Legislator Says Men Should be Castrated and then Taxed to Store Their Sperm Unfortunately, as one of my favourite blogs puts it: We will now perform an ancient and traditional Slate Star Codex ritual, where I point out something I don’t like about feminism, then everyone tells me in the comments that no feminist would ever do that and it’s a dirty rotten straw man. And then I link to two thousand five hundred examples of feminists doing exactly that, and then everyone in the comments No-True-Scotsmans me by saying that that doesn’t count and those people aren’t represen…	/r/MensRights	30/04/19 12:42 PM

7	Why are Australians no longer getting circumcised? In the 1950s, the rate of circumcision in Australia was about 80 per cent. The ratio of cut to uncut has since reversed: It's estimated about 20 per cent of newborn boys are now circumcised. Gee, how about because IT'S A BLOODY STUPID IDEA?	/r/MensRights	04/10/18 10:48 AM

1	"Call to extend HPV vaccine to boys as cancer rates soar" - this is what happens when you 'gender' health. This should have been done 10 years ago. That's the standard apathy to men's health problems. Like you don't need outright malice to explain this state of affairs, just the usual apathy. Governments have so many levers and knobs they can fiddle with that something like "who gets a vaccine?" won't get re-evaluated without public pressure. There are too many other things to consider day-to-day.	/r/MensRights	01/05/18 09:32 AM
1	"Call to extend HPV vaccine to boys as cancer rates soar" - this is what happens when you 'gender' health. This should have been done 10 years ago. No, that's not what I meant. At the time it was being rolled out in schools, I think the understanding was girls could get cervical cancer from HPV and guys were a transmission vector but the virus didn't do too much to them. So if you vaccinated a girl you'd remove a cancer risk but vaccinating a boy didn't do much. Then later we found out just how much oral sex people were having, and the effect it had on mouth and throat cancers in both sexes. I mean, this is basically what /u/c_megalodon25 i…	/r/MensRights	30/04/18 10:00 PM

1	"Call to extend HPV vaccine to boys as cancer rates soar" - this is what happens when you 'gender' health. This should have been done 10 years ago. Yeah from memory when this was rolling out in Australia they vaccinated girls first because it will statistically do more good. Then as supplies increased they started vaccinating boys at schools too. The bit about mouth and throat cancers from oral sex may have helped too. But "avoiding herd immunity because gynocentrism" is a pretty long bow to draw. You have to assume a lot of anti-male hate to do that, along with assuming that drug companies are not viciously interested in increasing profits…	/r/MensRights	30/04/18 11:07 AM

It's also interesting that the article mostly focuses on the lady who set it up, and the framing in part as "if the men packed up and left it would damage the service delivery and social fabric that relied on men's work". The program ran in Harrow in 2003, and was apparently pretty successful in getting women to move out and form relationships with the men …	/r/MensRights	26/02/18 08:45 AM

God I'm naive.
