| 1 | Jordan Peterson Revealed as a Men’s Rights Activist | Male feminist writes yet another hit piece on JBP, but panics about him "helping to take men’s rights mainstream"Try giving his magnum opus "Maps of Meaning" a try sometime. If you can make it through the whole thing then you've done better than me, but it's obvious he really believes his own bullshit. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/18 05:10 AM |

| 5 | Japan - Men rearing toddlers an "unwelcome idea," says ruling party execAnd where there is a draconian judicial system, massive problems with mental health with a staggering (male) suicide rate, a dangerously aging population, decades of completely stagnant economy with a declining standard of living and, while no "gender war" that looks much like the one we have in the west, there is certainly enough tension to drive movements like the grass-eaters/herbivores mentioned in the parent comment. There are some things they are doing better than "us" in the Anglosphere o… | /r/MensRights | 29/05/18 09:01 AM |
| 10 | Tempers at boiling point as female protesters break into a men-only lido and leap into the pool as they claim to 'self-identify as male'... for the daySome feminists (usually called "TERFs" or Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists - a misnomer much of the time but the most common name you'll see for them) are virulently opposed to transgender people being recognised legally or socially as gender they have transitioned to / are transitioning to. Or at least, to transwomen. I don't believe they make much noise over transmen aside from the occasional snide remark about "gender traitors". They literally think that being a transwoman is about men ap… | /r/MensRights | 29/05/18 08:45 AM |
| 5 | Japan - Men rearing toddlers an "unwelcome idea," says ruling party execMy impression is that it's not anti-male as such - or at least no deliberately so. It's just quite a rigid, conformist society where everybody is expected to fit in and perform their prescribed role without making a fuss or standing out too much. At least in public, which probably at least partly explains why things get a little strange when it comes to stuff that is enjoyed privately. That kind of society is no picnic for women either. I understand that it is common, for instance, for women to … | /r/MensRights | 29/05/18 08:20 AM |
| 6 | Feminist groups increasingly being investigated, charged for violations of civil rights laws; they are not pleasednew disgusting tactic used by feminists: trying to conflate men's rights advocates with "incels." Same as they've been doing for years conflating MRAs with PUAs and/or "red pillers". I can still remember (and even still see in the wild from time to time) references to "Men's Rights Activist Roosh V" - as if he hasn't written and publicly posted several pieces explicitly shitting on MRAs. Whatever the new hotness is in sensationalist journalism that touches in any way on muh wammen, feminist blog… | /r/MensRights | 29/05/18 03:56 AM |
| 2 | Are all finances shared? If the shoe were on the opposite foot, would you feel the same?It's worth mentioning that there plenty of women, even young women (I know some!) who also share this view. I would probably guess that, these days at leaast, it's very rarely a matter of a man imposing his patriarchal will on a defenseless woman and rather an agreement between 2 people to live a certain way (and sometimes one or both finding later on it's not what they thought it would be). In fact, assuming the image in OP is legit, I dare say the woman writing it is probably among them. | /r/MensRights | 18/05/18 06:14 AM |
| 3 | I have been on this sub for 7 years and I have never seen it this angry.'passed by men' a bullshit It's interesting really. "Well mostly men ultimately passed those laws" while correct in the most banal and obvious sort of way, is typical male hyperagency stuff. It's actually a very conservative position and a position that, dare I say it, smacks of male chauvinism. It completely ignores the way that women historically and even still today typically wield power, which is often indirectly and often through men. It makes it harder for them to take credit and be visibl… | /r/MensRights | 18/05/18 02:52 AM |
| 3 | "Justice hasn't been done" says the victim of two women who were spared jail (after assaulting him so badly that he needed operations and still can't go into work)This is now the point feminism is at The feminist movement has a lot to answer for, but IMO, unreasonable relative leniency within the justice system for female offenders is not something that can laid solely at it's feet. It can play a part for sure (see the recent edict about female offenders from the UK crown prosecution) but traditional notions of gender are at least as much to blame in instances like this. We are all primed to some extent to assume the best of women and look for excuses and… | /r/MensRights | 16/05/18 05:22 AM |
| 9 | Women raping women..Purely anecdotally, my impression has been the same. Despite all the urban myths and stereotype, every time I've seen a gay dude make a pass at another guy and be told "sorry, not interested" or "I'm straight" or whatever, he's backed the fuck off without having to be told twice. On the contrary even though (hashtag notall) it's not universal, there seem to be a substantial minority of lesbians who really believe "every girl is bi" or "just needs to try it with the right woman" and just won't ta… | /r/MensRights | 11/05/18 04:50 AM |
| 2 | "How to fix toxic masculinity for the next generation of boys." ABC Australia, so you know what to expect.It's like they just can't make the stretch to talking about fatherlessness, the rise of single mums, and unfiar custody arrangements. Given the divorce rate and the fact that a significant majority of divorces, including no-fault divorces, are initiated by women... well, that would get too close to for comfort to "attacking mums", ie. holding women responsible for their affect on their world. | /r/MensRights | 11/05/18 04:31 AM |
| 3 | Women have outnumbered men in higher education worldwide since 1995, and the gender disparity continues to grow each year. This imbalance highlights boys’ educational underachievement at pretty much every stage of education.We've had the odd instance here and there in Australia where the talking point of local media or government for the week is to make a bit of a song and dance about needing more male teachers - especially in primary school (first 6-7 years of school here) - to provide "positive male role models" and all that sort of stuff. But 2 things always stand out for me every time I've heard it in last few years. The first is that despite all the talk around "something needs to be done", there has never eve… | /r/MensRights | 11/05/18 03:40 AM |
| 1 | Just a reminder to #dontbethatgirlSo wait, let me just ask you, why would you join this movement if the majority of users here believe that rape is too blown out of proportion in comparison to the supposed treacherous magnitude of 'false allegations'? Because that is simply not what I've seen after a number of years of involvement, including initially being extremely skeptical at first and wanting to see the worst. Believe it or not, I used to consider myself a feminist and initially came here (many years and many reddit account… | /r/MensRights | 08/05/18 07:44 AM |
| 1 | Just a reminder to #dontbethatgirlyou're making a lot of assumptions. there are actually many of us here who have been sexually assaulted ourselves (myself included, according to most modern definitions) and are quite familiar with the aftermath from our own experiences. in my case, I'm also close with other people who have also been assaulted and with somebody who has been the subject of false accusations. My experiences with all that are part of what led me here and to the men's movement in general. | /r/MensRights | 08/05/18 05:36 AM |
| 1 | Looks like we deeply need gender equality in warehouse workers, we must close this work gap /sShit yeah, there's a reason almost every chef and cook I've met have had love affairs with amphetamines. | /r/MensRights | 08/05/18 05:05 AM |
| 2 | Women's store donates % of profits to women's charities; perhaps men's stores should donate money to Movember Foundation or similar? (half sarcastic, half serious suggestion)I mean, it's not a terrible suggestion. But even something as tame and (I would have thought) unobjectionable as Movember still gets regularly decried every year as "sexist", "transphobic", "promoting outdated gender norms" and all sorts of other stuff in major publications as well as in the usual social media circus. I mean, those slurs at least don't go unchallenged, but I do wonder if larger businesses (and hence larger targets) would be leery of sticking their necks out for it, let alone any… | /r/MensRights | 04/05/18 09:20 AM |
| 2 | 'Universities which 'no-platform' controversial speakers will face Government intervention' interesting how feminism is listed as a controversial viewpoint, I would have thought our movement was more more controversial?This. If well-connected pop feminists like Germaine Greer and Julie Bindel hadn't been on the wrong side of "no-platform" campaigns recently, nobody would care. | /r/MensRights | 04/05/18 08:29 AM |
| 3 | A woman who faked her ex's signature to inseminate herself has successfully sued for child supportIt's difficult because the well being the child - who had nothing to do with the parents' decisions - really is important (though it is also fair to question how far this really is the guiding principle of the courts and legislators in practice) and they should not be punished for the reprehensible behaviour of, in this case, the mother. For this particular case and others like it (like the above mentioned one about the woman successfully suing the boy she raped for child support when he reached… | /r/MensRights | 04/05/18 05:48 AM |
| 1 | Apparently heterosexual men are the source of all evils...lesbian incels are wild. honey, maybe it aint the evil men brainwashing and enslaving all the women that's the reason you can't get laid. | /r/MensRights | 02/05/18 01:36 PM |
| 3 | a mix between the standard feminist no-scotsman fallacy and that the MRM "is obsessed about victimhood"It's always frustrating to see the same people who effectively advocate for politics to be conducted almost or actually exclusively on the basis of identity victimhood rhetoric then get their knickers in a knot when an identity that they don't like starts using (or they start to perceive to be using) victimhood in their politics. Like, what did you expect? You've been supporting an establishment movement that has spent the last few decades making any other avenue of politics except identity-base… | /r/MensRights | 02/05/18 05:39 AM |
| 6 | Pathologizing Men and Boys: Feminists at University of Texas to treat Masculinity as Mental Health CrisisIt's a little like Scientology isn't it? Golly, are you feeling down? Just look at these personality test results - you're a complete basket case! Know what can help? Just read Dianetics, buy this E-Meter machine and do what we tell you and you'll be feeling better soon... | /r/MensRights | 01/05/18 04:19 AM |
| 15 | Pathologizing Men and Boys: Feminists at University of Texas to treat Masculinity as Mental Health CrisisApparently, helping is not the desired outcome. Sure it is, just not for who they say it is. Helping (a subset of) women is the desired outcome. One thing I've found is that the longer I've immersed myself in both the history of feminism and the history of gender roles more broadly, the more I've seen the common thread throughout. And that thread is the desires and well-being of women (ie. gynocentrism). When what is known commonly as "chivalry" was the normative position for male behaviour, it … | /r/MensRights | 01/05/18 04:10 AM |
| 4 | Is it just me or is r/relationships anti male?It's not even that they have some ideological view on "female supremacy" - they are just doing what makes them money. And while we're all still all-too-aware that it's disproportionately men earning the money, it's the women who do the spending. So if you're an entity that exists to generate profit, the only practical thing to do is to make the one who controls the purse strings feel good about spending their money with you. | /r/MensRights | 01/05/18 02:29 AM |
| 4 | "Good Night Men's Rights" sticker I found in East London (imagine men thinking they should have rights!)Because of the political circles I run in, I'm acquainted with the kind of people who actually put up stuff like this and honestly, they are not the kind of people who could smash a sandcastle, let alone the state or the "patriarchy" and they certainly won't be a knocking anyone over and beating them up. These are not even the kind of people who actually do any of the shitty legwork involved in serious, grown-up political activism. This is the extent of their activity (except maybe screeching at… | /r/MensRights | 27/04/18 08:58 AM |
| 5 | "The rise of women-only coworking spaces"Their problem was trying to sell it as something positive for men. Apparently nobody wants anything good for men and only want to see them suffer. The way to do it would be to spin it as a kind of containment project where all the men were sequestered away with each other in order to protect wammen from toxic masculinity. Women aren't allowed for their own good because, gosh, who knows what kind of harassment and other terrible things they might suffer. | /r/MensRights | 24/04/18 05:23 AM |
| 9 | Apparently throwing a simple party about whether a baby is male or female makes you a cis transphobic sexist. Good to knowgay rights movement As someone who has actually been involved in the gay rights movement, this sort of thing really gives me the shits. In what way does a gender reveal party have anything to do with gay rights? Certain currents within trans activism get their knickers in a knot over stuff like this sure, but those tend to be the same currents that go after lesbians for not wanting to sleep with transwomen because they are biologically male (and paradoxically sometimes gay men who don't want to … | /r/MensRights | 24/04/18 04:27 AM |
| 2 | Scientists edge closer to a male 'pill' that 'turns off' sperm without any side effectsWhile I'm doubtful that this is anywhere near actually hitting the shelves of pharmacies (the "male pill" seems to be like advanced artificial intelligence - it's been just around the corner for decades), I think that how "women" react - that is to say, how the powerful feminist government and media establishment will frame it - will depend on the kind of discourse that surrounds it. I think men's advocates need to be careful about they publicly talk about this sort of thing. If the discussion r… | /r/MensRights | 21/04/18 03:32 AM |
| 6 | Appalling: According to the SPL, Libertarians and MRAs are part of the Alt-right and White Nationalist movement.That's what happens when the only people who make even the slightest effort to appear to give a shit about you and your problems (or even acknowledge that the demographic you're shoved into is even capable of having problems) have a bunch of other shitty beliefs. You become more open to those ideas when the people that hold them and evangelise for them are the only ones who will even look at you as a human being. I agree that there IS a link between people who are concerned about the fortunes of… | /r/MensRights | 20/04/18 04:55 AM |

I mean, minus the bashings, unjust firings, police harassment and the rest, which are thankfully in sharp decline now even compared to when I faced that stuff as recently as 15 years ago. Sometimes I really feel bad for my straight mates. The way they talk about it sometimes makes it sound like pussy is like smack or meth - they hate the way it makes them feel and act when they are chasing it, never really feel satisfied when they get it, and the pushers kee… | /r/MensRights | 20/04/18 03:13 AM |

| 8 | This man tried to set up child support but they couldn't believe that he was a man.This is something like my dad's experience trying to get child support from my deadbeat mother. There was an order issued during the divorce and custody proceedings that she would pay but it wasn't enforced at all and most of the time my dad was too proud to pursue it. But during the lowest points of our poverty in my childhood when he swallowed that pride and tried to get the state to actually enforce the child support, it was a struggle to get anyone to even believe that he was a single father… | /r/MensRights | 17/04/18 03:57 AM |
| 3 | Women Are More Sensitive To Men's Issues After They Have Sons: A Personal ExperienceThey also did things like cut recess I can never quite figure out what this means. When I was a kid here in Australia, "recess" was the shorter morning break of about 15-20 mins where we went outside to run around, kick a football, whatever and sometimes also a 5-10 minute one in the late afternoon to just stretch our legs, go to the toilet etc. "Lunch" was a longer break, usually 45-50 minutes, outside to eat and do whatever. Is recess something different there? Does it refer to any break from … | /r/MensRights | 13/04/18 03:32 AM |
| 1 | ELI5: The Wage Gap issueI'm prepared to entertain the idea that when women make choices about their job that they are at least somewhat influenced by the the conditioning associated with social sex roles. I mean, that's kind of a "water is wet" revelation and I think it tends to be overplayed in womens' case, but all the same, I don't have problem with it being brought up. Of course, men are also influenced by their social sex roles, hence the massively skewed workplace death/injury rate and all the rest of the stuff w… | /r/MensRights | 10/04/18 05:42 AM |
| 1 | Aussie Barber facing human rights court for not cutting a young girl's hairI've been refused service at a salon that specialised in women's hair - even though my hair was long at the time and the style I wanted was a unisex style that they explicitly advertised in their front window. I walked in, went to the front desk, they told me sorry, they only cut women's hair, I shrugged and went somewhere else. No big deal. If only I'd been a lawyer, maybe I could've got a nice payout for the harm that it caused me when I was discriminated against and forced to walk 100 metres … | /r/MensRights | 10/04/18 04:25 AM |
| 10 | I’m working on a project to increase understanding between sides and I would like you help.It’s sounds like I should read some stuff by the people you’ve mentioned so I can educate myself a little better. You sound like someone who has explored feminism at a deeper level than I have I encourage everyone with an interest in gender politics to read some of the major feminist authors, especially of the second wave when the theory was still fairly coherent and the literature was, despite my criticisms, still pretty readable. I really want to emphasise that there is plenty of good, insight… | /r/MensRights | 07/04/18 04:52 AM |
| 7 | I’m working on a project to increase understanding between sides and I would like you help.I use a little hyperbole there, but only a little. In her book Sexual Politics, Kate Millett has a section where she expounds on her notion of "men's house culture" (a concept that exists to describe certain kinds of gendered associations in mostly primitive cultures of history). There's a lot in there and (like much feminist literature, I've found) it's a bit murky and she dances around her point a lot. The thrust of it is that men don't like each other (it's implied that they aren't really cap… | /r/MensRights | 07/04/18 02:34 AM |
| 7 | Feminists claim Youtube shooter was a manTERFs are basically just feminist fundamentalists. They are usually better read and know and understand feminist theory better than your average feminist. Yes, they're usually hateful assholes, but that's feminism. They are just being consistent and taking it to it's logical conclusion. And frankly, my experience has been that every feminist can be a "TERF" on demand when it's convenient for them. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/18 07:36 AM |
| 32 | I’m working on a project to increase understanding between sides and I would like you help.I was a self-described feminist for a long time. It's one of those things I never really thought about most of the time. I was for "gender equality" in the sense that I thought women should be able to vote and work if they wanted and should generally have all the same options as men and vica versa. And that's what "feminism" is right? Well, that's what I was told and I believed it. My break with the label and ideology of feminism came in 2 major stages.

| 1 | New Study Confirms Stigmatization of Men in Canadian Society (March 29, 2018) - Canadian Association for EqualityI suspect it's because there is a stereotype that gay guys are also feminists. Which was a stereotype that was pretty accurate from, probably, the 70s through to about 10 years ago I'd estimate. But I haven't heard a positive word about feminism from a gay dude in the wild for years now except from bisexuals who are still chasing pussy or in a relationship with a woman but willing to settle for another man when women are off the table for whatever reason. I was certainly a self-described feminis… | /r/MensRights | 06/04/18 02:54 AM |

But don't completely write off the idea of talking to them about it later in life when they're adults and more able to understand. My dad raised me alone after my mother split in the middle of the night when I was 4 years old.
