I suspect that r/TheRedPill would agree with the t-shirt slogan. They would probably agree that women can't be expected to put up with a weak man and men need to get their shit together because a woman is a mirror, etc etc. But on this sub you get the exact opposite; You get men NOT taking responsibility because they refuse to acknowledge the natural differences between men and women. MRAs seem to think that men and women should be equal and should be treated equal by society, making them just a…

You've seen the "Jake was junk, Katy was drunk" poster... When a woman is drunk, she becomes no longer accountable for her actions. If she has sex willingly, it is rape. If she rapes someone else, it is an "accident".

You are a biology denialist. Your thinking is just as flawed as any feminist. Society is ideologically broken and your only demand is that it be broken in a way that disenfranchises men and women equally.

This is one of those issues where MRAs screech "Men and women are the same! Men and women should be treated the same!" No they are not. Men are better at technical/manual labor. Women are better at raising children. The refusal to acknowledge the difference in optimal societal roles (i.e. natural biological roles) of men and women is a problem with the MRM. I know everyone here is upset by the oppression of masculinity, but demanding complete social equality of men and women is as deluded as fem…

Men are predators by nature. Literally. In the wild, we had the role of hunting and killing animals. Likewise had the role of searching out and courting women, as it already matched our evolved skillset. This is where some aspects of the MRA movement really irk me. Men and women are not the same and the law should reflect that. We don't want women fighting in wars, because it isn't practical but ALSO because men naturally want to protect women and keep them out of harms way. Likewise, we don't w…

It's not just that women want to be treated like they're special. Also, men want to treat women like they're special. We have a natural urge to protect them. It's biological. Feminism is like a virus that takes advantage of that natural male impulse.

Based on recent similar cases, here's what's going to happen: SJW outrage and protests; Police and counter-protesters will show up; Someone will deface the mural anyway; SJWs get arrested, fights break out between protesters and counter-protesters; Media portrays SJWs as victims of alt-right hate/violence.

For the record, any feminist talk of female body acceptance is directly related to the "incel" debate. Countless feminists are jumping on the bandwagon of pubicly telling incels that nobody is obligated to have sex with them under any circumstances. It's obviously true, but the hate that this message is usually infused with is cruel and we should be quick to reflect the message right back at them when they talk about women's entitlement to the sexual attraction of men.

Good points, and I agree that it would be a good idea, but that sort of government-provided job probably only works in the short term.

It's probably accurate to say that all MGTOW are MRA but that most MRA are not MGTOW.

I totally agree. However feminists see it differently altogether. Their idea of equality is 0% of rapists going free, with no restrictions on the false conviction rate. They think that's equality.

Crazy story. And I guess the two party system (avoided in so many other countries) contributes to the effect. And I see what you mean: Men in power is probably more dangerous to the elite than women in power. Still seems like a cruel strategy overall. But greed, corruption, etc.

It perplexes me that someone can support both BLM and feminism. The former asserts that black people are oppressed, citing as evidence the shorter life expectancy. If we use life expectancy as a broader metric for oppression, then clearly men have historically been more oppressed than women. There's a clear contradiction of values between the two movements.

At my own university, female graduation rates have been ~30% higher than that of males since 2002, and this is just in engineering. https://ir.engr.ncsu.edu/retention-and-graduation-rates/graduation-rates-by-gender/ There are more men enrolled than women (13k vs 11k), but the net output is still mostly women due to the huge disparity in graduation rates. And yet there are programs like this one aimed specifically at helping women throughout the university experience.

If the genders were reversed, the woman (you) would be traumatized for life. Here's the delicate issue. As a society, do we coddle women or tell them to man up?

There seems to be an assumption that men are settling for sexless or manipulative partners. I never got that impression. Everyone I know in a relationship is very happy, but then I am only 27.

Sounds like you are saying that men should be more stringent so as to make the demand for sex more gender-symmetric, but there are fair reasons that this asymmetry exists.

It's only a double standard if men and women are equivalent. Since we are physically and psychologically different, how we conduct ourselves and divide societal resources has to be a bit nuanced.

Society in general has a natural urge to protect women (thanks to evolution/biology). It's hard to say if it actually hurts women more than men.

In the free market days of past capitalism people didnt thrive and all become self employed business people. "thrive" is a relative term. In the US, it means that everything is bubble wrapped, and people don't have the freedom to buy cheaper goods and services even if they are willing to take the associated risks. When I think of a "lesser" country where the streets are filled with unregulated salesman and customers, I see a lot of people thriving who would be homeless in the US because we are a…

It would reduce our dependence on large corporations if the guy flipping burgers at mcdonalds were allowed to cook meat on a stick instead and sell it on the sidewalk, earning money for himself instead of for someone else. Right now there's so much regulation that you usually can't meet them all if you're new to industry. The only way …

I agree with the first part. Sometimes I do feel like I want to cry but can't even though I know it will make me feel better. Is feeling better a good thing?

fear of not being believed The fact that rape trials hinge so much on believing the word of the victim is the problem. Victims of any crime should be afraid that a jury won't believe them, because we shouldn't convict people on the basis of accuser testimony alone. That being said, the police can't collect hard evidence unless the victim comes forward. The whole theory of the justice system is based on the responsibility of victims to report crimes against them.
