8	Marketing experts labeled Gillette's sexist against men ad as the worst marketing move of the year, and they predict it will trash Gillette's sales This strikes me as discriminating against women of color. Some of this could be because white women are fetishized in certain foreign markets (India for example). I’m not sure that I agree that women are more jealous than men though. Look at the past hundred years of racism in America and you’ll see countless examples of white men being jealous of black men being in relationships with white women and it causing violence or wrongful accusations of rape. The Expanse has some good women of color le…	/r/MensRights	25/04/19 12:24 AM
27	Finally had abusive female coworker charged and fired Thanks man, that means a lot. I feel like trying to understand woman's perspective gets downvoted pretty easily on this subreddit, and I understand why that is as I can also be quite frustrated with things that I perceive as attacks on men, but I try and stick to my values and compassion is one of them. I think it's important to understand where people are coming from even if you disagree with them. At times it has been hard to not be misogynistic because of my experiences (I'm also a survivor o…	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 04:54 AM
126	Finally had abusive female coworker charged and fired If it was a seventeen year old girl (and she understood that she could) she would probably sue. Why should you not sue the company for allowing this to go on without repercussions for the offender?	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 04:13 AM
41	Finally had abusive female coworker charged and fired Notice the wording that I used. I said women "feel" this way because that is the narrative that is pushed. You're talking to someone who has been falsely accused	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 03:58 AM
13	Yale is being investigated for discriminating agianst men It doesn't make much sense to give scholarships to women just for being women if they are the majority of those in higher education. I hope that this case puts an end to any Yale scholarships that further widen the gap for male higher education attendance	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 03:56 AM
5	"The Mislabeling of 'Transgirls'" the problem with shaming and mislabeling boys who don't conform I take some objection to what I perceive as a transphobic tone in this article as I am a defender of trans rights, but it does raise a lot of interesting questions about how terribly we treat gender non-conforming people and about how much we want to box people into easily digestible labels. Why can't we have compassion for all people no matter how they identify and what their interests are whether they are considered feminine or masculine. I grew up with a lot of "feminine" interests like fashi…	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 03:50 AM
3	"The Mislabeling of 'Transgirls'" the problem with shaming and mislabeling boys who don't conform Sissy is usually a derogatory term unlike tomboy. Our society has a lot more of an issue with boys acting feminine than with girls acting masculine	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 03:42 AM
2	Finally had abusive female coworker charged and fired That might be because women feel they won't be believed regardless of whether or not that's the case. Someone posting in an MRA subreddit might not feel the same way. This may or may not be the case. Just some food for thought Edit: I think people are misinterpreting what I meant. I am saying that women "feel" that way because of the narrative that is pushed that they won't be believed. On a subreddit where men feel safe that their story will be believed they might not worry so much about havi…	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 03:33 AM
3	P&G grooming products sales are down. It still surprises me that Philips-Norelco didn’t capitalize on the moment and make an ad celebrating men in some way. They might have worried about the controversy, but how great would it have been to have had a campaign like “#celebratemen” showing fathers, soldiers, firemen, and men being chivalrous. With the right tone I think people would have gotten it and the promotion would have been worth whatever controversy	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 11:58 PM
4	The Gender-Bending of Male Stories The executives are trying to cash in on both rebooting a franchise, and appealing to the trend of female empowerment movies that have been successful (such as Wonder Woman). This is all a matter of making money, and they’re able to make both reboot money and girl power money. I don’t have a problem with the latter if it’s a good movie. I enjoyed Wonder Woman for example, but that’s why we’re seeing these movies. Also having female versions of characters is a good way of getting press coverage an…	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 11:48 PM
6	The Gender-Bending of Male Stories I don’t think men are losing their minds over female versions of characters... It’s all a marketing ploy and a way of claiming that people not liking movies or getting bad reviews is because of misogyny. The last Ghostbuster’s was a great example of this. People were talking about how it looked like a bad movie and the marketers quickly came in and spun it that so the critics were labeled as being misogynistic and trying to get people to come to the movie to stick it to the misogynists. In my ex…	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 11:41 PM
1	Doubly Unethical Behavior by Some Manospherians I found that essay interesting, but I don’t see how it doesn’t reinforce my point. Perhaps you take issue with my usage of the word complaining, but it’s also what I would say to any cause that’s talking about trying to improve conditions for a group of people, and then speaks poorly of the people who are trying to help them. I’m not calling for a march on Washington and I don’t see how that essay is relevant to wha I was saying...	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 11:04 PM

2	Feminist mantra: Catch them young, teach them early and they'll be yours forever. She’s commenting that she liked playing a character and not that she wants to personally shame men. There’s so much spin on this. Shaming men for being men is wrong, but shaming men as a character in a fantasy series is a totally different thing	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 04:30 AM
2	Feminist mantra: Catch them young, teach them early and they'll be yours forever. There’s a lot of sensationalist spin on what she said: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thecut.com/amp/2019/04/lyanna-mormont-game-of-thrones-interview-bella-ramsey.html	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 04:27 AM
2	Doubly Unethical Behavior by Some Manospherians So many people like to complain and then when people are sympathetic to their cause they like to play the victim and say it’s not enough and discredit it without advocating for any positive changes because they’ve become addicted to playing the victim	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 03:15 AM
1	Doubly Unethical Behavior by Some Manospherians My response to all posts like this is: what is your alternative proposal for progressing men’s rights? It’s very easy to point at something as not being effective enough, but unless you have a better proposal for improving conditions for men and furthering the discussions of men’s issues this is all only circle jerk complaining. The progression of any social issue whether it’s civil rights, gay rights, etc. is a slow process and when people who hold the power are sympathetic to people who have b…	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 03:13 AM
1	Feminist mantra: Catch them young, teach them early and they'll be yours forever. All I was saying is that if you look at the full article there’s nothing she says that I perceive as man hating. I’d think it’s a little bit ridiculous to say a child is sexist and agist because she enjoyed playing a tough character	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 01:53 AM

4	Feminist mantra: Catch them young, teach them early and they'll be yours forever. I don’t disagree that the tweet is shitty. I think it’s a sensationalist headline to appeal to sjw types and get publicity. It seems like the post is claiming that the actress hates men though which she doesn’t appear to	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 01:23 AM
16	Feminist mantra: Catch them young, teach them early and they'll be yours forever. Yeah if you read the article it seems pretty clear that that’s mainly what she’s referencing: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thecut.com/amp/2019/04/lyanna-mormont-game-of-thrones-interview-bella-ramsey.html	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 01:12 AM
2	Feminist mantra: Catch them young, teach them early and they'll be yours forever. I get the impression that you haven’t read the article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thecut.com/amp/2019/04/lyanna-mormont-game-of-thrones-interview-bella-ramsey.html	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 01:10 AM
12	Feminist mantra: Catch them young, teach them early and they'll be yours forever. Yeah there doesn’t seem to be anything inherently man-hating about anything she said in the article. She talks about being strong despite being little and how it’s helped her confidence and briefly mentions that women can be as strong as men. When I was 15 or so I learned Alec Baldwin’s monologue from Glengary Glen Ross because those kinds of characters are fun to play. Does that mean I hate men? This triggered circle jerk is over a clickbait headline: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thecut.com…	/r/MensRights	23/04/19 01:05 AM
1	In all honesty I hope she is safe and ok. I hope no harm comes to this women. Woman, 46, who abused an elderly man, 74, wearing a MAGA hat has gone missing after she was fired. I would argue that sympathy (for men's issues) is one of the biggest goals of the movement. How else do you plan to effect change? If you want to get people on your side the most effective way to do it is with compassion and understanding, and if you give someone that respect they will often give it back to you. Sympathy (or compassion) does keep people from hating you	/r/MensRights	21/04/19 06:01 PM
