6	Circumcision-How can people have a thought process like this and choose to make a life altering decision? It's not "fucked up", however circumcision removes a large part of the penis (the foreskin is part of the penis) which contains a lot of nerve endings. As a result circumcised penises provide less sensation compared to intact ones. There's plenty of reasons to perfom a circumcision for medical reasons. However the rate at which those problems occur is very low and does not justify pre-emptive action.	/r/MensRights	15/08/11 10:27 PM
6	Circumcision-How can people have a thought process like this and choose to make a life altering decision? Have a look at this talk on circumcision, it explains what actually happens and why it's a rather bad thing to do: http://youtu.be/ZSM-SkwGEf0	/r/MensRights	15/08/11 10:20 PM
1	Feminist: There won't ever be a male Pill, and it's all because men are irresponsible bastards. P.S. Women worst affected. However, I'd be curious to see why women are more likely to undergo tubal ligation rather than her partner undergoing a vasectomy in LTRs, since vasectomies are a much less invasive and much more reversible Exactly, finding out why the numbers are what they are is interesting and might provide some insight. My gripe with the article was that she jumped from the numbers to a conclusion without looking at how these numbers came about. To me the whole thing read like "I have a conclusion. Let me fi…	/r/MensRights	09/08/11 01:09 PM
3	Feminist: There won't ever be a male Pill, and it's all because men are irresponsible bastards. P.S. Women worst affected. She uses a variety of examples of how men don't take responsibility or less responsibility than women or shift the responsibility on women. toilet cleaning (i lol'd) overstating in polls (duh) sterilization rates (" If men, on average, were invested in taking responsibility for contraception, we should see those numbers basically reversed, since tubal ligations are more dangerous.") condom usage ("I couldn't find any research on who in sexual situations is making the decision to use a condom, bu…	/r/MensRights	08/08/11 02:42 PM
9	Feminist: There won't ever be a male Pill, and it's all because men are irresponsible bastards. P.S. Women worst affected. "To be clear, I'm not saying men are irresponsible monsters." And then she goes on to spend a whole article explaining why men don't take responsibility. slow clap	/r/MensRights	08/08/11 02:24 PM
8	When DNA clears you of rape of a 12 yo The girl in question was 11 years old at the time. There's a reason why society does not expect children of that age to take (full) responsibility for their actions. The man accused of beeing the father tied his own knot by signing a confession. He might not be the father, but if he really did have intercourse with an 11 year old he is responsible.	/r/MensRights	06/08/11 06:31 PM
7	What's wrong with circumcision? so my penis is wrong? You original post was rather weird: I am circumcised, and I am proud to be. Why would you be proud about having a completely healthy part of your body removed? I don't need to clean out my foreskin in the shower Do you also have your ears removed so you don't need to clean them? and I have more nerve endings (which means better sex for me) Makes no sense whatsoever. Circumcision removes one of the most sensitive parts of your body, effectively removing nerve endings and sen…	/r/MensRights	30/07/11 02:18 PM

3	Gender Is Dead! Long Live Gender! Meh, it would have been interesting to do more experiments with other roles/occupations. To me the article and cited studies seem to be influenced quite a bit by researcher and author bias. Would you see a similar difference in performance/self image between people who imagine themselves as teachers/construction worker, chess enthusiast/NASCAR fan, ...?	/r/MensRights	10/07/11 01:08 PM
2	I got this in email form forwarded to me by a single mother at work. I was pissed. As someone from a country where homeschooling is illegal with small exceptions I found that homeschooling phenomenon quite puzzling. The parents are expected to teach history, a whole range of complicated sciences, arts, languages and lots of other things to their children on their own? How could they do a better job than someone who spent years studying just two of those subjects with the clear intent of teaching?	/r/MensRights	07/06/11 12:34 PM
4	Is circumcision America's number one men's rights issue? That is precisely my point: your body. We are talking about someone projecting and forcing their values onto others and causing them physical harm in the process: their children!	/r/MensRights	13/05/11 02:56 PM
6	Is circumcision America's number one men's rights issue? 2) As a Jewish guy, I don't care if you make it illegal, I'll just have to find someone to do it in a back ally. This can only lead to worse medical outcomes. You can arrest me, you can send me to jail, my sons will be circumcised. As a humanist I find reading this most horrible. The mutilation of a human beeing without their consent is a crime in any other case, yet because it is a tradition people simply accept it. If parents were to decide that cutting off a babys ears would be nice and make …	/r/MensRights	13/05/11 01:18 PM
7	Is circumcision America's number one men's rights issue? Personally, I'm glad I was circ'ed when I was young, and didn't have go through that when I was older. Unless you happen to to have a medical condition that warrants it, there is no reason to even consider circumcision. So having to go through that at an older age is rather unlikely.	/r/MensRights	13/05/11 01:05 PM
