2	Why is a male suicide attempt statistically more likley to be successful than a female suicide attempt? Frustratingly, every time I've seen somebody ask this question in a discussion on this topic, the response is nearly always a vague reference to a masculine inclination to greater violence, or simply outright "toxic masculinity". Even the old chestnut about women choosing less violent methods in order to leave a beautiful corpse because of society's oppressive beauty standards doesn't get the play that it used to even just a few years back.	/r/MensRights	13/11/18 05:35 AM
3	Why is a male suicide attempt statistically more likley to be successful than a female suicide attempt? I personally believe that while the majority of suicide attempts are by women I wonder how you arrived at that belief? Interestingly, when I went looking for data on this (since "women attempt more" is always trotted out as a statement of pure fact when this topic is discussed), I couldn't find any. Not that I just couldn't find data to support the particular hypothesis, I couldn't find serious data on suicide attempts as a unique phenomenon at all. Every study that I could find that was cited t…	/r/MensRights	13/11/18 05:31 AM
5	'Employers are taking action': Biggest single-year drop in gender pay gap \| Feminists are winning as companies are shamed into giving cash to women employees for no reason. Remember, feminism don't want equality, they want women to be the privileged sex. I think it's Martin van Creveld in his book called (ironically enough) 'The Privileged Sex' who goes into what has happened historically when serious experiments were conducted in the creation of substantive, on-the-ground gender equality in the early Soviet Union and kibbutzim in early modern Israel (and one or two other examples I think). IIRC, basically attempts were made to do away with the traditional division…	/r/MensRights	13/11/18 04:22 AM

39	A list about feminism misandry for anyone who thinks that feminism fights for men’s rights, for anyone who thinks that feminism was only a sexist movement starting from the third wave and for anyone who accuse the MRM of being a sexist movement, while still defending feminism. They will just say that those are not real feminists Ehhh, I dunno about that. Back when I considered myself a feminist and ran in feminist circles, this approach as counter argument really didn't come out very much with anybody I knew (nor with many feminists I've interacted with in the years since I moved away from it). It's too obvious and ineffective. The smell of hypocrisy is simply too strong even for your average feminist to believe that anybody will swallow it. What you do get in my expe…	/r/MensRights	09/11/18 05:48 AM
3	The other side of 'toxic masculinity' in California shooting Agreed. And disentangling ourselves from these notions of male expendability, including and especially in these kinds of situations, is IMO a requirement for getting anywhere close to real world gender equality.	/r/MensRights	09/11/18 04:20 AM
11	The other side of 'toxic masculinity' in California shooting but its STILL a mens issue This is really the crux, but isn't it interesting how these conversations nearly always go down the same well-trodden path? The moment anybody mentions that women have some or (heaven forbid) the majority of the responsibility for some social ill because of their position in society, immediately the debate turns to just how much responsibility men have and, implicitly, how far we can and should tacitly excuse women. Then inevitably we're right back onto the same tired …	/r/MensRights	09/11/18 02:56 AM
3	Australian feminist laments that a massive feminism-based awareness campaign in the media has failed to reduce actual domestic violence Yeah, these campaigns have always been about funneling money into feminist "awareness" organisations in order to raise the social status of the largely upper class people who create and run them, not about actually doing something about the problem. If they were serious about that, they'd be pushing massively redistributive fiscal policy to flatten out wealth inequality, as the greatest predictor of family violence is poverty and financial stress. But of course they don't, because most of the po…	/r/MensRights	02/11/18 09:09 AM

A lot of big companies make noise about this sort of thing so they can put together a nice press release or otherwise give their marketing people something fashionable to shill the company with, but little actually changes in the day-to-day operation (at some point the activists who love this shit are going to catch on, but they haven't yet in a way that's hit the mainstream)…	/r/MensRights	30/10/18 03:32 AM

11	The notion that there's a "patriarchy" with an "old boys club" came about because it's what women would do if they were in charge. A social clique where everything is run by committee. Pure projection. The "old boys club" as a notion was never primarily about the sex of the people involved - except in as far as the concept came into the culture at a time when it was more common for female gender roles to be respected (and enforced) and so the people in these positions did tend to be men. It was always an expression to describe class advantage - where people in the upper classes all had social and familial connections and tended to look after each others' interests. So inside tips on investment…	/r/MensRights	19/10/18 03:25 AM
27	So, women now have literal privilege in the law. This is beyond crazy. It's not just how they say it, it's what they actually do with the power to make changes when they get it - like this. It's always stuff that just happens to mostly or exclusively benefit already powerful and extremely comfortable (mostly white) women. But it's somehow "symbolic" and there are apparently enough people out there in the community - or at least enough of the people in the community that actually have enough money and status to matter - that eat this shit up.

1	Gender Inequality vs Socio-Economic equality It doesn't even have to be a conscious conspiracy by spooky billionaires to deliberately suppress class struggle. Feminism has been an ideological plaything for bored bourgeois princesses since the 19th century. Aside from a very brief period from the Russian revolution and into the interwar period where the likes of Goldman and Luxembourg were active, it has always been a movemet by and for the already wealthy and privileged and remains so today.	/r/MensRights	09/10/18 09:29 AM
1	Effacing The Male - Homeless in Portland: A deepening crisis on the streets of America - They can mention Trans people, elderly people and ""minorities"", but not that the MAJORITY of homeless are still male. Male disposability in action. There is probably an element of realpolitik in play when it comes to activism and advocacy for the homeless and who you showcase when you want to elicit empathy and sympathy. If you want to make real progress on it - be it via lobbying the government, trying to raise community awareness in order to shore up support for this or that measure when it comes time to vote or by directly appealing for charity - you have to find a person or group of people who the punters will care about and feel compel…	/r/MensRights	09/10/18 07:38 AM

Clearly it doesn’t mean anything. men don't understand While I think there are certainly areas where the sexes don't always understand the experiences of their counterparts, this is becoming a little silly at this point. Constant cries of "You just don't understand!" even when every effort has been made for a long time, even including government mandated programs in primary schools, even when there have been demonstrable political efforts to address the sorts of things being complained about for decades.

3	Every guy feels safe at night, only women are attacked obviously It is a unique perspective, but I do also question the usefulness of that perspective in these discussions. My position in LGBT organizations over the years has put me in contact in a lot of trans folk. Most trans people relate to their sex & gender in ways that are far outside the norm. I would say they simply don't map onto the experience of the 99.7%+ of the population who are not trans in many meaningful ways. A MtF person simply does not have the same experience of being male as a cis man d…	/r/MensRights	02/10/18 08:25 AM

26	The Red Pill has been quarantined - for ideological reasons. A big part of the traditional female gender role has always been defining and policing the gender roles of others, male and female (and indeed, social roles of all kinds). There has never been any serious attempt (in the West) at actually deconstructing the female role, not even via feminism. Quite the opposite. The entire exercise of "gender equality" for the past 150 years has been about expanding the territory covered by the female role, but that has never meant giving up or sharing the terri…	/r/MensRights	28/09/18 03:49 AM
2	I despise the idea of "male privilege" However when I see people - mainly self-described feminists - mentioning "male privilege" I don't see them mentioning it in the context that you do. Precisely, which is what I was getting at when I said it was an incomplete concept on its own and is often deployed dishonestly. And trying to discuss it in good faith with somebody who understands the term only in that framework becomes almost impossible. I've tried, even when I still considered myself a feminist and just wanted to talk about it wi…	/r/MensRights	26/09/18 04:02 AM
11	I despise the idea of "male privilege" To be honest, I actually think that "male privilege" as a concept is not even inherently bad. The way our social system of gender roles has been set up for a thousand years (and more) pretty much guarantees it. The problem is that it is incomplete and tends to be deployed dishonestly. That is, the system as it stands also guarantees "female privilege". But the whole point of framing gender issues in the way they are typically framed - ie. "male privilege", "toxic masculinity", "patriarchy" witho…	/r/MensRights	26/09/18 03:18 AM

29	“In the wake of Mollie Tibetts’ death, don’t blame immigrants for murder.

7	"When the number of committed opinion holders is below 10%, there is no visible progress in the spread of ideas…once that number grows above 10 %, the idea spreads like a flame." It's even possible we'll see the next generation of leftists leading the charge on men's rights in pursuit of actual (egalitarian) gender policies. Some of us are working quietly toward that goal, but it's difficult to really understand how powerful the feminist clique is on the broader left without experiencing it. In my experience, there is a quiet and growing undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the current gender paradigm on the left but everyone is afraid of speaking out for fear of becomin…	/r/MensRights	10/07/18 08:23 AM
2	UK: Wolf-whistling at women could soon be a hate crime, as police 'consider the case' for monitoring sexist abuse and harassment. Abuse against men will not be treated as a crime though. So much for equality. While I don't really have a opinion on the issues in this exchange at this point, given that the post you're replying to includes a bunch of links and some statistics to support its premise, you might want to actually address some of it instead of just declaring you're correct because of special knowledge based on your personal anecdotes.	/r/MensRights	10/07/18 02:45 AM
3	England moving to only jail women for serious crimes. Ernest Belfort Bax, socialist and sometimes considered the "father of the men's rights movement" was actually writing about female sex privilege in the criminal justice system in Britain over 100 years ago. We have seen now the privilege at the expense of the man which the law itself and still more its administration affords to women. It remains to consider the preferential treatment in prison after conviction. What prison discipline is for the male offender is perfectly well known: He is liable…	/r/MensRights	06/07/18 09:17 AM
2	"Sarah Hanson-Young brings in the lawyers after David Leyonhjelm refuses to apologise for sexist slurs" Another strong, independent woman who can't handle a mere insult, folks. Sarah Hanson-Young and David Leyonhjelm are really both walking piles of shit that deserve each other more than the public deserve either of them. But at least he manages to be funny while being a massive douchebag while she is a joyless sadsack (and abuses her travel allowance).	/r/MensRights	03/07/18 07:49 AM
3	Why do we think it is OK to be mean about men? One thing I’ve learned from dating is that women are afraid a lot of the time. Something I've noticed being friends with a couple of transwomen (MtF) and a transman (FtM) is how much this really does seem to be hormonal. While my transwomen friends are usually very touchy about the topic (not without reason - people they've just met seem to feel like it's OK to ask the most intrusive and personal questions about their transition and bodies the moment the topic comes up), they have confided in me…	/r/MensRights	03/07/18 07:25 AM

2	Australian taxpayers fund campaign declaring it's sexual harassment to literally quietly look at a woman on public transport. Solely aimed at attacking men of course. It's weird how embedded this revisionist history has become in the culture, isn't it? u/girlwriteswhat has done some great bits on the actual reality of the coverture laws etc. that governed the legal and economic status of the sexes that are quite enlightening.	/r/MensRights	26/06/18 06:44 AM
10	Abusive mothers are actually more common than abusive dads - gets a bit of media attention finally You know, stuff like that really can cause a person to do things they would otherwise find unconscionable. And while it's not an excuse for the behaviour or for completely abjugating responsibility, I don't have a problem with the circumstances being presented as mitigating factors or as ways to understand why it happened and to help us as a society prevent such events in future. Everyone who's lived more than 20 years has probably been in situations where we were overwhelmed and did something m…	/r/MensRights	26/06/18 03:19 AM
2	A case for optimism, a case of pessimism Young men are lazy and entitled, refusing to grow up This notion has been on the rise for probably decades at this point. I think it was intended at first to be a sort of generational shaming thing to encourage young men to think of themselves as being the exception to this rule and thus work hard and contribute to demonstrate that. I also think it probably worked for a while and isn't working anymore. I know a bunch of guys in their early-mid 20s who honestly probably fit this stereotype (in fa…	/r/MensRights	26/06/18 02:35 AM
3	How the media reports on a female murderer vs a male murderer Women are Wonderful means that any immoral or criminal act committed by a woman must, by definition, be an aberration. Not just among women as a demographic, but even for that individual. Hence why you always get "well she was such a good mum, but she just snapped" "it's not her fault, she was ill" "husband wasn't supporting her" etc etc. "Woman" is rarely held responsible, let alone "women". The facts can just be reported without spin because it does not and cannot reflect on "women" as a whole…	/r/MensRights	20/06/18 06:27 AM

2	Meryl Streep: “I submit to you that men and women are not the same, they like different things,” she said. “Sometimes they like the same thing, but sometimes their tastes diverge..." The barrier to entry to be a "movie critic" is just about non-existent. An internet connection is pretty much all you need. Get a Wordpress site or get a cheap camera and a youtube account and have at it. The idea that the established media has a certain demographic skew in who makes up "professional movie critics" is probably true - but most of these are players in legacy media that is in decline. More than that, notice how the attitudes regarding these critics can turn on a dime? The "old whit…	/r/MensRights	19/06/18 05:10 AM

TL;DR - No, but the situation is sticky. Let me see if I can shed a little light here, apologies for the wall of text. I suppose it comes down to what you consider a "fair share" versus what benefits we'd gain. There certainly are issues that are in the MRM's wheelhouse that affect gay men just as much and occasionally even more acutely than others - the suicide epidemic is perhaps one of those. There is also homelessness as I encountered in my story above and legal problems in the criminal just…	/r/MensRights	19/06/18 02:30 AM
5	/r/ainbow supporting equality...until they don't. One user calls for the inclusion of MRA groups in Pride events, and the sub's response drips with misandry... And now, as men's rights are seriously endangered, the gays aren’t really affected, so they don’t care much. It really depends how you look at it and what you're exposed to. An anecdote from my youth as a gay man - When I had trouble at home related to my sexuality and was forced to leave, I was homeless and sleeping rough for some months in between short periods of couch surfing. This is a really common occurrence even today despite the progress that's been made. Every time I was directed to a …	/r/MensRights	16/06/18 06:01 AM
