| 1 | John & Andrew - Same sex salsa dancers - These guys are pushing boundaries, and gaining recognition for the strength and speed of male dancers, and aren't using the sex appeal of a female dancer.Gay men are men, too. It is part of men's rights. If you are just a conservative/traditionalist, or are anti-gay, so be it. But just because you are bigoted, doesn't mean others have to be. When I get a chance to read this subreddit, there is very little about gay issues. Clearly posting the occasional one is not excessive. | /r/MensRights | 09/08/14 06:43 PM |
| 1 | In Science, It Matters That Women Come LastRead the comments on the article. Many scientists have backed up my opinion. Go to www.arXiv.org or www.inspirehep.com and you can search for the names of the people responding to see that they are, in fact, prominent scientists. | /r/MensRights | 08/08/14 03:45 AM |
| 2 | John & Andrew - Same sex salsa dancers - These guys are pushing boundaries, and gaining recognition for the strength and speed of male dancers, and aren't using the sex appeal of a female dancer.Why do I think this is a men's rights issue? Women get a lot of attention in dance pairs/groups due to their flexibility. But men get relegated to the background muscle, and are rarely the focus. This is also in part because of sex appeal for the female, who dress skimpily. Male-male dancing can become more mainstream, where as female-female and male-female dancing has been more accepted in the past. In addition, this is pushing the right for straight men to associate with gay men without being … | /r/MensRights | 08/08/14 03:43 AM |
| 1 | In Science, It Matters That Women Come LastAs a scientist who submits papers to the arXiv regularly, I can say with certainty that most of the fields who put papers on the arXiv put authors names in alphabetical order in order to not give any one author preference over another. This study fails to note that, and thus undermines their conclusions. | /r/MensRights | 06/08/14 06:02 PM |
| 2 | A person can support equality without being a feminist, just like they can be good without god. You can agree with some aspects of an ideology without embracing the whole thing.You appear to want to create a new ideology to rival feminism, rather than let individuals have their own ideology and then collectively work together towards common goals (such as men's rights, women's rights, etc). I don't see your solution as being any better than feminism. It is, in fact, susceptible to the exact same problems of feminism - enforcing group-think. Democracy is about bringing people with separate ideas together to work on solutions to common problems. Bringing people together … | /r/MensRights | 31/07/14 04:33 PM |
| 1 | A person can support equality without being a feminist, just like they can be good without god. You can agree with some aspects of an ideology without embracing the whole thing.A person can be a women's rights activist, a men's rights activist, a civil rights activist, a gay rights activist, etc. without being in conflict at all. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/14 04:31 PM |
| 2 | A person can support equality without being a feminist, just like they can be good without god. You can agree with some aspects of an ideology without embracing the whole thing.I don't think the false dichotomy is a product of feminism. Look at what happened recently with Dawkins - it is the same logical misstep that people took to twist his statements. It is people making these stupid assertions, not the ideology itself. But yes, "if you don't agree with me about one thing I hold dear, then you must be dichotomatically opposed to everything I hold dear" is far too common. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/14 04:30 PM |
| 1 | A person can support equality without being a feminist, just like they can be good without god. You can agree with some aspects of an ideology without embracing the whole thing.I was not so specific. It was a general statement. I don't care what an individual believes - you are free to believe whatever you want. But it is ridiculous to assert that a person who opposes feminism must necessarily oppose women's right to vote, for example. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/14 04:26 PM |
| 3 | Competitive Victimhood as a Response to Accusations of Ingroup Harm DoingThis is actually a very important study that should be followed up with more research. In essence: a group who harms others is more likely to claim to be victims themselves in order to excuse their behaviour towards others. It is also why groups like Feminism and Men's Rights attract people who are aggressive and bullyish. There are definitely members of feminism and the men's rights movement who are not bullies, who are not aggressive and domineering, but it would be folly to deny that bullies … | /r/MensRights | 07/06/14 10:16 AM |
| -3 | Why /r/MensRights should distance itself from Paul Elam and call him outA female acquaintance of mine, whose relationship will remain undefined in this instance, is both a rape victim and agrees (to an extent) with Elam on that second link. Her argument is that it is not fair and respectful of women to use sexuality to lead men on. She doesn't believe that anyone deserves to be raped, and it is still a crime, but she does believe that there is a certain fair etiquette that a person should use. Similarly, going by stereotypes, she feels that a guy who flaunts his mon… | /r/MensRights | 04/06/14 09:28 PM |
| 10 | Q: If there is/was a "patriarchy" then why were women ever given the right to vote?First, get the story straight before asking the question. Patriarchy didn't have an overarching "purpose". It is simply a social structure that determines degrees of authority based on gender. The assertion feminists make is that women are oppressed under a patriarchal social structure. That does not mean you can apply personification to the social structure and claim that it is acting overtly upon women. They use a classification of oppression to describe a group of people who do not have the s… | /r/MensRights | 04/06/14 09:15 PM |
| 2 | Does the gender pay gap really have anything to do with gender?So... you were wrong about programmer salaries. Good to see you accept that. And then your second article suggests the very thing that people on this subreddit have been saying for a long time - that women are choosing jobs with a greater work-life balance, among other things. That is not mainly social conditioning. The study cannot measure that. That is an application of personal bias to the results. But, that being said, people on this subreddit do not deny that there are differences in income… | /r/MensRights | 01/06/14 05:49 PM |
| -5 | anyone else think this is bullshit [full article in commentsThe only bullshit part is the implication in it that MRAs believe otherwise. Many/most of those messages are positive messages that most MRAs would agree with. | /r/MensRights | 01/06/14 05:34 PM |
| 2 | Does the gender pay gap really have anything to do with gender?I have plenty of research that disagrees with yours. But you are the one making the claim, therefore you are the one upon whom the responsibility of supporting that claim is laid. "I am on a mobile" isn't much of a counter argument. It is really quite easy to do research on mobile - harder than a regular computer, but not difficult in the grand scheme of things. You could also follow it up at a later time. | /r/MensRights | 01/06/14 02:04 PM |
| 2 | Does the gender pay gap really have anything to do with gender?So much facts that you don't have a single citation. Much facts. So wow. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/14 11:33 PM |
| 2 | Does the gender pay gap really have anything to do with gender?I am sure you actually believe what you are saying, which is what makes it all the more sad. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/14 09:38 PM |
| 3 | Does the gender pay gap really have anything to do with gender?I am going to ignore the text of your comment because it just screams of troll. But to answer the submission title: yes, but not in the way that is spouted in the media. The gender pay gap has to do with gender because people of different genders, on average, make different choices. These choices can be influenced by biology, by socialization, and potentially by non-overt discrimination (such as suggested by the study that tested male vs female names). This is a very different statement than say… | /r/MensRights | 30/05/14 08:10 PM |
| 1 | Is consent a contract?I make a point and you shut down and return to your old, tired argument. Way to avoid addressing the elephant in the room. | /r/MensRights | 29/05/14 02:38 PM |
| 1 | Is consent a contract?In an ideal world, you might be right. Judging based on a person's observable behaviour might work in theory, but I don't think it is practical. The classic "She seemed alright to me" argument would be sufficient counter argument to "You raped her" in a court that uses a 99% certainty standard. It focuses on one person's ability to determine state of mind from behaviour, rather than on the actual state of mind - an even more "muddy" issue. These issues are really quite hard to resolve to everyon… | /r/MensRights | 29/05/14 02:37 PM |
| 1 | Is consent a contract?You are saying that it is embarrassing that there exist people in the world that don't understand the laws and the philosophy behind them? This subreddit exists to bring new people - often those who are entirely unfamiliar with philosophy and law, quite possibly with little to no advanced education - to ideas that are not commonly held. If you are expecting this to be /r/philosophy or /r/science or anything else, you are in the wrong spot. This subreddit isn't "this movement". This subreddit is … | /r/MensRights | 29/05/14 02:28 PM |
| 1 | Is consent a contract?Do you get off on talking down to people? It's like you live to pontificate. Seriously, dude. Get over yourself. People actually do understand the things you say, before you even say them, without you even having to say them. You act like you are some great genius-thinker, yet your contribution to discussions is "No, you are wrong. So I am just going to repeat your argument using different words so that I can convince myself that I am smarter than you, and gloss over the fact that I made the sam… | /r/MensRights | 29/05/14 01:44 PM |
| 1 | Is consent a contract?I think you are straw-feminisming. That might be your interpretation of their arguments, but I think that you would be misunderstanding their arguments. The weak version of the argument they are making is that intoxication removes the ability to validly consent, much like a contract. The strong version is that any amount of alcohol, including 1 drink, removes the ability to validly consent. Few would argue against the first one, and few would argue for the second one. Many people would argue som… | /r/MensRights | 29/05/14 12:52 PM |
| 1 | Is consent a contract?Did you bother to read what I said? You are over simplifying things. | /r/MensRights | 29/05/14 12:47 PM |
| 1 | Is consent a contract?That doesn't appear to talk about what I said, in my quick scan of it. Care to highlight the part that you think applies? | /r/MensRights | 27/05/14 02:36 PM |
| 1 | Is consent a contract?There is no legally defined cutoff BAC for consent. Like I said, that is determined by a judge/jury in the case that a complaint is made. | /r/MensRights | 27/05/14 02:34 PM |
| 2 | MRAs do not feel 'entitled to women.'Sometimes the message is stronger when you leave out the qualifiers. Try this: "MRAs do not feel 'entitled to women.'" End. Don't say anything else. Later on you can have a conversation about your views of the "lies told in the name of promoting women". But really, you worded that terribly and are going to come off as a mysoginist to our detractors, anyways. | /r/MensRights | 26/05/14 02:49 PM |
| 4 | Say it loud: "I'm a man. I'm an MRA. I condemn what Elliot Rodger said and did."Articles that say that we are silent clearly aren't bothering to do any research. So shouting it out loud YET AGAIN isn't going to change that. I don't disagree with you, I just don't think you are going to have the effect that you think you will. | /r/MensRights | 26/05/14 02:47 PM |
| 2 | Is consent a contract?I would venture to guess that the philosophy behind the law goes something like this: A person who is drunk is responsible for their own actions, but not responsible for actions done to them/taken against them. Whenever an activity involves more than one person, and one of them is inebriated, the activity changes dynamic. If both are taking actions against a third party, then the inebriated party is still responsible. If they are taking action involving only each other, and only one party is ine… | /r/MensRights | 26/05/14 02:43 PM |
| 10 | Whoopi Goldberg: Jay Z had the right to hit Solange Knowles backI wonder when feminists are going to call Whoopi Goldberg hateful... they use Paul Elam saying the same thing as proof that AVfM is a hate site. Shall we expect consistency? | /r/MensRights | 14/05/14 06:22 PM |
| 1 | The Hugo ProblemA group can advocate for racial issues without being "the study of racial equality", primarily because a group is not a study. You are talking about a totally different issue. | /r/MensRights | 12/05/14 01:47 AM |
| 11 | The Hugo ProblemThe most important statement in that article is this: An ongoing debate among advocates of women’s rights is, Can a man be a feminist? While some women have no problem letting men join discussions of female-related issues—the more allies, the better!—others think men should shut up and butt out. Feminism cannot claim to be the study of gender equality unless they include 50% men. So long as any significant portion of feminists feels that men should shut up and butt out, they will never, ever be … | /r/MensRights | 28/03/14 11:48 AM |

| 1 | Why I do not approve of the new egalitarian "MRA"How do you plan to do what has never been done in the history of the world? Much like I would respond to a Christian arguing that God is the creator of the universe because science doesn't have an answer to the question "what caused the big bang?", I will say to you, "THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT!" Just because we don't have an answer now, doesn't mean we drop what we are doing and accept a different answer, especially one that has a shitload of baggage that comes along with it. The go… | /r/MensRights | 05/03/14 11:48 PM |
| 2 | Why I do not approve of the new egalitarian "MRA"Folding the MRM into egalitarianism removes its ability later to stop and exclaim "Wait, hold on, that's bullshit and here is why" as all the voices and even the internal debates get lost in a sea of "old ideals rebranded". The nice thing about /r/MensRights is that it allows traditionalists and feminists to talk, also. Maybe egalitarian philosophy gets certain details wrong, maybe it misses out on a bigger picture in certain areas. Having that criticism from outside sources is useful and challe… | /r/MensRights | 05/03/14 11:45 PM |
| 1 | Why I do not approve of the new egalitarian "MRA"I don't see a refutation there and implying that the choice is only between the above three is disingenuous. I was stating that people see the choice as being between those three. If you have an alternative for them, please present it! Enlighten people as to your sophisticated, problem solving ideology, so that they aren't stuck with crappy egalitarianism. Or were you just simply criticizing people without actually advocating for an alternative? | /r/MensRights | 05/03/14 11:42 PM |
| 3 | Why I do not approve of the new egalitarian "MRA"Feel free to provide an alternative. At the moment, there is Traditionalism, Feminism, Egalitarianism. Please feel free to provide an alternative. Traditionalism and feminism limit people's rights, liberties and freedoms. Egalitarianism does not. | /r/MensRights | 05/03/14 06:46 PM |
| 5 | Why I do not approve of the new egalitarian "MRA"Why do you rape your mother? Hey look! I can ask leading questions, too! I am not arguing against the point about disposability. Equal treatment also means equal responsibilities, including disposability potentially. Most MRAs, including the egalitarian ones, agree on the issue of disposability. Stop manufacturing your outrage. Seriously. | /r/MensRights | 05/03/14 05:24 PM |
| 2 | Why I do not approve of the new egalitarian "MRA"The argument of egalitarianism is not that men and women are biologically equal, or that biology doesn't play an effect. It is rather that biology is not the only factor, and that men and women each have the potential to similarly achieve in different aspects of life. Thus, they should not be restricted in their life choices based on their gender. After that, trends that result from biological factors are simply natural and uninteresting. Egalitarianism seeks legal equality and equal treatment a… | /r/MensRights | 05/03/14 04:08 PM |

| 4 | Recent fake story troll posts: Don't fall for this shitFeminists are doing a good job of influencing policy and then claiming that they have nothing to do with it. It is a necessity to continue pushing the narrative that women are oppressed, because a group won't be seen as oppressed if they have that much political clout. Looking at the reauthorization of VAWA and the Dear Colleague letters, it is clear that feminists have political clout. Looking at the effects of feminist organizations on college campuses at banning men's rights groups, it is cle… | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 08:43 PM |
| 3 | Not even sure this is the right place, but here's an example of terrible science: Why Do Standardized Tests Underpredict Women’s Academic Performance? The Role of Conscientiousnesssigh I will take a stab at this. The study does show statistically significant gender differences in both the SAT scores (male mean above female mean, though smaller standard deviation for men than for women), and statistically significant GPA differences (female mean above male mean, though with now a smaller standard deviation). The trend of higher score corresponding to smaller standard deviation should not be surprising, as the standard deviation assumes a Gaussian distribution of data, whic… | /r/MensRights | 07/08/13 10:13 PM |

| 9 | Quite likely a repost, but I feel the need to express just how anti-equality this is.If you are going to argue against a point of view, at least understand the point of view. The statement being made is that this guy's opinion, as an individual, matters less than women/poc/etc because there are more people that supposedly share his opinion. The goal of this point of view is to give equal consideration to all opinions. Given a population where 90% of the people all have one opinion, the remaining 10% would have a difficult time having their opinion considered.

| 17 | The One Thing "Don't Be That Girl" Got RightI disagree with you on that. I would have said the same thing. That is just a cogent analysis of the situation. The official interpretation would be the interpretation that is recognized by officials or other important, public persons. The fact that the statement says that the official interpretation is "universally accepted in spite of the creators' explicit claims to the contrary" suggests that the author is giving a nod to the fact that the official interpretation is not the correct one. | /r/MensRights | 15/07/13 05:46 PM |
| 13 | The One Thing "Don't Be That Girl" Got RightIn hindsight, we can call "spousal rape" what we now recognize it to be, but prior to its legal acceptance it was not, in fact, "spousal rape". It was the act of legalizing that gave it a definition. But prior to its legal definition, it was behaviour that was damaging to the people who suffered from it, yes, but it was not "spousal rape". As a society, people came to recognize the damage it was doing, and decided to give it a legal definition. This is a good thing, and it is something that shou… | /r/MensRights | 15/07/13 05:08 PM |

What people don't seem to understand is that "rape" is a legal term. What the author should have said is: If a female acquiesces to a forceful advance after a short period of meek resistance, endures an encounter with inner revulsion that has little or no outward si… | /r/MensRights | 15/07/13 04:30 PM |
| 1 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusArticle is about man giving a drug to a woman to cause her to miscarry. Using the term "poison" is not correct, as it is a drug that many people willingly take. This is the first instance of your fracture with reality. The second is that I never said that it was way worse to be tricked into parenthood. I simply discussed the issue about being tricked into parenthood because this is a men's rights subreddit, and therefore the topic is men's rights, not women's rights.

I have watched as the community has actually accomplished things, how the concepts have gone from being obscure to semi-mainstream... I have seen traditionalists and liberals come and go, as they find people don't have similar enough views to them. I have seen people from all sides (traditionalists, liberals, feminists) try to get control of the subreddit in order to twist it for their purposes. | /r/MensRights | 19/05/13 06:12 PM |

| 1 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusI am not, nor have I been, talking about what you are currently talking about. I was very clear from the start about my views on his actions. I then changed the subject. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/13 10:28 PM |
| 1 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusWow... Your view is some kind of messed up, then... I don't find wives beating their husbands any worse that the reverse. But what does that have to do with this? His wife wasn't beating him was she? He is the abuser here. I understand now. You see his actions your way, other people see them differently, and you are adamant that no matter if people see them differently they should still view it the same as you. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/13 08:58 PM |
| 2 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusNowhere does it say that she tricked him into pregnancy. Right. But you haven't yet determined whether people are under the mistaken impression that that is the scenario. I find it stange that you invoke wives beating their husbands since the husband is the one doing the "beating" here. You seem to constantly reject my attempts to explain situations with reversed genders to point out the egalitarian view. Do you somehow find it different to think of wives beating husbands than the reverse? | /r/MensRights | 17/05/13 08:04 PM |
| 2 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusYou attacked an aspect of my thread that doesn't exist.

| 2 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusNow who is reframing the debate to fit their own views? You are interpreting their statements as defending violence against women. They are no more defending violence against women than if a person were to say that they are justified in protecting themselves if they are being beaten on by their wives. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/13 04:15 PM |
| 1 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusGoing through that other thread, all I see is a bunch of varied opinions. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/13 03:37 PM |
| 1 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusThis is just thinly veiled misogyny This is a claim. If you want to make it actually have weight, you need to defend that position. How is it misogynistic? | /r/MensRights | 17/05/13 03:34 PM |
| 1 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusI wouldn't call them sickos. I would say that people are a little short sighted, and don't see past their own issues. That is one of the big problems with feminism - feminists have a difficult time seeing past their own issues, empathizing with others. That is why feminism doesn't actually address men's issues. None of the feminists experience them, and just write them off as being part of the patriarchy, and therefore resolvable when feminism wins its war against the patriarchy. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/13 02:26 PM |
| 1 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusYou are right, to an extent. I got the impression that the pregnancy wasn't just caused by carelessness, as often comes up here. I think I should have paid more attention to the OP's name... But since this is MensRights, the focus should be on the issues men face. I don't think it is unreasonable to want to discuss how society ignores reproductive rights for men. Note how I did show disdain for the man's actions, in this case. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/13 08:49 AM |

| 12 | man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetusI don't believe a person should be tricked into an abortion in this manner. That being said, I don't understand why it is okay to trick someone into becoming a father. Our society (mostly) agrees that it is wrong to trick someone into an abortion, but doesn't see any problem with a guy being tricked into being a father.

| 3 | I was forced into letting a woman perform oral on me. Do I tell my girlfriend?I don't see anything over in AskReddit... Anyways... rape is an act done to another person. A woman cannot rape you by penetrating herself, according to the common definition of rape. Many people here disagree with that definition, and we use the term "forced envelopment of the penis" to refer to such situations. Many people here will assert that such events should be included in rape, and the statistics show that when they are, in the same surveys that show high rates of rape of women, then you… | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 04:06 PM |
| 3 | I was forced into letting a woman perform oral on me. Do I tell my girlfriend?Are you new here? This issue comes up regularly. | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 03:09 PM |
| 2 | I was forced into letting a woman perform oral on me. Do I tell my girlfriend?Men can't be raped in their view because "rape" is defined as being penetrative. So unless someone penetrates the man (anally or orally), then they can't be raped. They can be sexually assaulted, but not raped. It is an issue of definition - they define rape as being penetrative, and the result is a drastic gendered issue. The gendered nature of the problem is neither surprising nor concerning if the definition is so restrictive as to create that gender imbalance. | /r/MensRights | 15/05/13 02:21 PM |

Do I tell my girlfriend?This is a situation that many women claim to experience - they feel that they had a sexual encounter that they said "no" to, but found they ended up enjoying it. I use the word "claim", because I have never experienced it nor forced someone else to experience it, and have no proof of it happening either way. Thus, I am not qualified to comment on the reality of it, only the possibility of it.

However, family law has the penalties set up against whomever makes the most money (is the primary provider).

A word's origin does not necessarily declare the word's common meaning. For example, "awful" originated as "worthy of respect/fear", and now it means "terrible". A manhole cover is not sexist against females, nor is the hole masculine. It refers to sewer entrance points that were large enough for humans (men, at the time) to go down into. Just because it continues to be used does not indicate anything to do with the gender. Feminism, as a word, has a hi… | /r/MensRights | 26/03/13 10:08 PM |

| 3 | Misandrist Article in College NewspaperWell, first off you can note that non-verbal consent is very common practice by both genders. What constitutes non-verbal consent is not clearly defined (definable) in the law, and therefore leads to these kinds of problems. If a person gives consent, they are not a victim but rather a participant in the sexual act. Redefining the debate to presume a status of victimhood is post hoc ergo proctor hoc, I believe. They are presumed a victim and therefore found a victim. But, under the proper null p… | /r/MensRights | 26/03/13 04:27 PM |

The women, not being inundated with all the rape propaganda, are going to consider whether explicit verbal consent was given.

I speak from experience that the money-parent can and will, without necessarily being malicious, use that to leverage more time and privileges with the child. | /r/MensRights | 22/02/13 11:10 PM |

After WWII, coincidentally not causally, with the rise of technology (technology frees up time, which people fill with other activities), more people started taking part in public discourse. This resulted in a lowering of the standards used, as fewer intellectuals were involved and people were able to win attention by catering to a lower standard (w… | /r/MensRights | 09/02/13 05:21 PM |

| 20 | Why women lose the dating gameIf women are approaching dating as a way to find someone to fund their family-making-enterprises once they hit their 30s, then they really are going to be losing out to the women in their 20s who want to do the same thing but are younger, more energetic, more virile, and more able to offer the guy the benefits of a younger age.

| -1 | I'll never look at Bill Maher the same way again. I mean, this is one of the women behind V-Day and the Women's Media Center.Bill Maher has had some things that would suggest he is supportive of the MRM. But really, he is just anti-bullshit. So he will be critical of both the negative aspects of the MRM (ie the members who are too extreme) as well as of feminism (ie the members who are too extreme). But I don't think that means he is going to find every feminist to be worthy of criticism, and he likely doesn't see how rejecting the friends in his life due to their ideologies to be a useful endeavour. | /r/MensRights | 23/12/12 02:14 PM |

In Feminism, they recognize the problems of privilege and think that the solution is to give privileges to those they identify as being privilege-weak. In Masculism, we recognize the problems of privilege and think that the solution is to try to eliminate the sources of bias, only. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/12 10:08 PM |
| 3 | Supermodel Cameron Russell describes how, as a beautiful woman, she benefits from privilege over, for example, black and asian young men.So to analyze her statements... Privilege is the effect of a person's biological status on how society treats that person. In her case, it was aesthetics that lead people to treat her differently than others. None of that is therefore under the control of the person receiving the benefits. And, so long as they don't specifically seek to abuse it, then really they are not morally or ethically required to do anything about it other than recognize it.

| 1 | Society is reversing gender roles.The feminist ideal for women is being strong, independent, career oriented, competitive, aggressive, and even violent, as opposed to social, interdependent, family oriented, cooperative, accommodating, and pacifistic. I disagree. They want strength through interdependence, cooperative career orientation, non-aggressive of violence in general. This is based on lobby efforts of feminists (gender quotas, for example, and attempts to remove competition), and a reading of feminist philosophy. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 08:01 PM |
| 1 | Society is reversing gender roles.Society is still, to a large extent, traditional. Men are still expected to be the primary providers, and women are still expected to be the primary care takers. But obviously that is changing. However, it isn't changing to the opposite, it is changing towards an equality - neither men nor women being expected to be providers, nor primary care takers. If we were to graph the trend, it wouldn't be two linear lines crossing. It would be two lines approaching an asymptote at the centre. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 07:59 PM |

I would rather there not be a gender bias in this, but that isn't going to be a deal breaker. As for whether the women will be attracted to you, I think you really need to re-examine your priorities.

Yeah, as soon as someone says "faggot", I tune them out. I write them off as a bigot. But I don't suddenly think that a person using that language makes anyone else look bad.

Each woman/man will have different reasons for agreeing with feminism, but that doesn't mean that feminism doesn't feed ego and remove responsibility. Both of these things (the ego feeding and absolution of responsibility) are attractive and work in the background, rather than being the surface reason.

This kind of pandering is done to children, and it creates narcissism - look at the current generation.

| 3 | "Teach men not to rape instead" is a sarcastic reversal and come back to those that say women should be taught to follow a hyper vigilant anti rape schedule. If we keep failing to realise that, the jokes on us.I disagree. Women themselves are the ones that fear stranger rape. This is an issue repeated quite often, and they give each other tips to avoid it also. And it is the one that can, oddly enough, be prevented with effort. But women don't fear date rape as much as they statistically should. So why can't MRAs give advice on how to avoid rape when women can? | /r/MensRights | 12/11/12 02:54 PM |

Obviously a victim doesn't want to be a victim - no one does - and therefore they can take proactive steps to protect themselves. Don't want to be mugged? Well, stay away from short cuts, dark alleys, poorly lit areas at night, etc. Don't want to be hit by a car?

| 2 | Controversial Claim. Still true if you replace "racist" with "misogynist".At one point, income taxes in Britain were 95%. How much incentive do you have to make an extra dollar when you only get to keep 5 cents of it? The risk of increasing business to make that extra dollar isn't worth the 5 cents. No income is guaranteed, and an tax rate at 95% is literally going to outweigh the incentive to make an extra buck. So in short, I disagree with your statement. This prevents money hoarding and the creation of the super rich. It does not prevent people from making more mon… | /r/MensRights | 25/10/12 06:27 PM |

Still true if you replace "racist" with "misogynist".The most successful con of all time seems to be the business owners' attempt to reformulate the concept of taxes into an argument of "the government is taking something that is rightfully yours". What's the point of working harder to expand my business, make more money, and hire more people, if you're just going to take all my extra profits and give it to the people who were dealt a bad hand, made bad decisions, or are just lazy?

The gap when adjusted for hours/job choice is about the same as the result shady found in the Comsad study: 6%I guess I didn't, because the plethora of other links on this subject have found a reverse wage gap for young people.

| 3 | Friends, stop claiming that women just out of college make more on average than men. It's not true. The gap when adjusted for hours/job choice is about the same as the result shady found in the Comsad study: 6%You aren't really understanding the argument being made. Feminists: "There is still a wage gap of 5-7% for men over women!" Others: "Well, if you want to claim that, then there is a 5-7% wage gap for women over men just out of college! Or we can just agree that the wage gap is bullshit.

I feel like he values his money more than he values our relationship and that he doesn't trust me. This is a pretty poor argument for why you think you shouldn't have to sign the prenup agreement.

| 1 | MindblownActual costs are going to vary depending on the capability of the parents. But, for example, if the non primary parent will have the kid stay with them, then they need an extra room in their place also. Assuming both parents are renting, then they both need at least a 2 bedroom place, so that shouldn't be factored into child support. The remaining costs are things like health care, dental, food, etc. If the child lives with one parent for 24 days a month and the other for 6 (on average), then th… | /r/MensRights | 24/10/12 12:31 PM |
| 1 | MindblownOh, and by the way... If the child is innocent, and the mother has the sole choice to bring it to term, then the mother is more responsible for the life of the child than the father. Both parties had sex that resulted in insemination, but only the mother chose to continue to bring it to life. IF responsibility and innocence has to do with the choices that the people make, as you seem to suggest by stating that children have no choice and are therefore innocent (a point I agree on) and that both … | /r/MensRights | 23/10/12 06:52 PM |
| 1 | MindblownAnd it shouldn't happen. Better that the father have less money than the child. The child did not ask to be brought into this world. The child is innocent. The parents are to blame for it's existence, and it is their responsibility to take care of it. Then you would agree to child support reform that bases the child support on actual costs of the child, split in half?

Just so that you are aware, a salary gap refers to differences in average yearly earnings. A wage gap refers to differences between hourly wages earned by people who have the same job experience, same education, same occupation, etc. The salary gap is very easily accessed, but a wage gap is much more difficult to asses.

Should we require all eighteen to twenty five year olds to have at least one child during that period or ban abortion to force them to do their duty?The better counter argument to use is that there are more than enough women to repopulate the country, and many are choosing not to have children these days.

The range of all of these different studies should cause some distrust in their results, by the way. It is not clear that any of these studies account for socialized gender differences, … | /r/MensRights | 17/10/12 03:38 AM |

Let's arrest the people involved in Toddlers and Tiaras, America's Got Talent, and any other similar TV shows due to the sexualization of underage people.

So women don't get deal with sexual advances. Oh, I see, so then lesbians aren't allowed also, but gay men are, right? No? So lesbians are allowed, and may hit on people there, but gay men aren't.

Fumes about sexual attention from guys she doesn't like: men are awful.I think the point he is trying to make is that Black Cat was a) highly sexualized, b) leather clad, c) involved in crime (naughty things). That is where the analogy ends, though. Apparently some people think that Black Cat is based off of Cat Woman, who has used whips as weapons and is much more BDSM-related, but Black Cat predates Cat Woman.

It still stands that a threat was made against r/MensRights to do the same to us as was done to ViolentAcrez (and CreepShots by insinuation). And it still stands that it was some of the same group who opposed the AgentOrange doxxing that were involved with the … | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 04:25 PM |
| 0 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.but r/creepshots deserves to be taken down You wish to deny people rights. There is nothing illegal about r/creepshots. You and I may think it is unsavory, but we don't have to visit there if we don't want to. None-the-less, between the two of us - I defend people's rights to do things that are not illegal. Let's see you take a stance against things like the Paparazzi first and the rest of journalism, and then let's see you take on a small organization like /r/creepshots. Get some consistency he… | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 03:54 PM |
| 7 | [Xpost] So it begins. Creepshots member beaten up following the Jezebel article which doxxed 20 Redditors : SubredditDramaAgreed. I am looking for proof and will share it if/when I find it. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 03:18 PM |
| 1 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.Ok I get that doxxing this guy was wrong, but none of us are defending r/creepshots in any way are we? If you are then leave. What this subreddit and the ideal version of feminist movements on reddit should be about is promoting rights of ALL, just through specific channels. Your statements are in contradiction. You can't have "rights for all" and then selectively deny rights for people that you don't like. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 01:49 PM |
| 0 | SOMEONE WANTS CHILD SUPPORT (humor)There is nothing in that post about child support. The only relation to Men's Rights is your editorialized title. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 01:41 PM |
| 4 | The political standing of this movement?I am a "left wing" person, and I completely disagree with your statement. a) you are over simplifying, and b) your bias is so strong it is disturbing. "Left wing" violent people? Cuba, Russia, China, North Korea... "Right wing" peaceful people? Many American presidents, some Conservative Prime Ministers in Canada, etc. Neither left nor right wing politics should be deemed "good" or "bad", simply "effective" or "ineffective" at making the society flourish. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 01:11 PM |
| 2 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.I don't support doxxing. A person should be judged based on how they treat their enemy, not how they treat their friend. If they are willing to compromise their morals/ethics when dealing with an enemy, they are not a moral/ethical person. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 05:16 AM |

| 9 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.Absolutely not. Doing so will get you banned from /r/MensRights (and from Reddit). | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 01:55 AM |

| 1 | "confession" from an internet shell (general interest, trolling)This really isn't on-topic here. While I find the article interesting, I don't think it belongs here. Perhaps you can post it in Meta? | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 12:13 AM |
| 4 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.but the argument defending the shutting down of the subreddit is that it's not OK to post pictures of people on the internet without their permission. Apparently people haven't heard of the Paparazzi. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 11:40 PM |
| 8 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.Well, when I get actual confirmation of his involvement in anything, I will be sure to post it. Until then, I like to think that I hold myself to a higher standard. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 11:32 PM |
| 4 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.It wasn't when I read the SRD thread. I had work commitments. I posted after taking care of work commitments. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 11:08 PM |
| 1 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.Yeah. More information has come in since I made the title. I can't change the title. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 10:23 PM |

Apparently r/MensRights is next.Based on screenshots of private messages, VA was blackmailed into giving up his account and mod privileges for subreddits he owned. Those subreddits were then modded by SRSers who claimed victory. 'nuff said. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 10:19 PM |
| 21 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.Because r/MensRights is not socially acceptable yet. Feminism is too pervasive, and r/MensRights is very anti-feminism. Many people make the erroneous argument that being anti-feminism is being anti-female, and therefore misogyny. In an age of political correctness, such an accusation can cause problems with employers. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 09:44 PM |
| 6 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.Yup. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 09:20 PM |

Apparently r/MensRights is next.imgur was actually featured recently on a TV show I was watching... damn, now I can't remember which one. I thought it was hilarious (and awesome)! | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 09:18 PM |
| 8 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.SRS members are in control of /r/violentacrez, and the discussion is that violentacrez was doxxed and blackmailed, along with other people. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 09:14 PM |
| 8 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.Yeah. I like this idea. I am going to make our free speech policy much more clear. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 09:13 PM |

| 3 | /r/Creepshots and /r/violentacrez taken over by SRS by blackmailing with doxxing info. Apparently r/MensRights is next.ViolentAcrez was a... famous reddit account. He is famous because a) he has a LOT of karma, and b) because he gained a lot of that karma from some dubious posts (a lot of porn, jailbait, etc). He has typically had his hand in most of the seedier sides of Reddit (things like /r/jailbait, /r/incest, etc.). | /r/MensRights | 10/10/12 09:12 PM |
