6	CDC shockingly recommends increases Syphilis screening for all males in their 20s in general....and not for women. I think MY first reaction to the news sums why the MRM is morally superior to feminism. From the original article, in JAMA: Men accounted for 90.8% of all cases of primary and secondary syphilis in 2014 Why not test both men and women more often anyway? Again, from the article: Although direct evidence on screening among nonpregnant persons who are not at increased risk for syphilis infection is lacking, based on the established test performance characteristics of current screening tests and the low prevalence rate of syphilis in this population, the yield of screening is likely lo…	/r/MensRights	09/06/16 03:55 AM
2	The stats indicate it's safer for a woman to walk down a dark alley than it is for a man. Anyone else find this surprising given the stranger danger we always hear about? I mean, it's like telling people not to drive a car rather than teaching them not to crash. Maybe it's more effective in preventing car crashes, but it also prevents people from living a normal life.	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 10:30 PM
1	The stats indicate it's safer for a woman to walk down a dark alley than it is for a man. Anyone else find this surprising given the stranger danger we always hear about? But.. the data from OP showed that less than 25% of sexual assaults with female victims happen from strangers, and less than 20% of them happen in public. The data doesn't tell us what time of day those sexual assaults happen, but presumably less than all of them happened at night. So telling a person not to be walking the streets at night is probably not the most effective advice for someone looking to avoid being raped. Additionally, I don't feel like we should be encouraging people to be shut…	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 01:56 PM
0	The stats indicate it's safer for a woman to walk down a dark alley than it is for a man. Anyone else find this surprising given the stranger danger we always hear about? I would say that not only are men more likely to open themselves to the possibility of violence, they are much less likely to report it. Citation needed. As a man, I face the Spector of violence a lot I think the data show that both men and women, sadly, face the specter of violence a lot. Like I said before, from the data we're given, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between physical attacks on women and physical attacks on men.	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 01:45 PM
0	The stats indicate it's safer for a woman to walk down a dark alley than it is for a man. Anyone else find this surprising given the stranger danger we always hear about? The report OP released also shows that about 75% of homicide victims are male, similar to yours. But we're talking about generally being attacked, which means both physical assault and homicide. So let's look at the numbers OP gave us (nothing wrong with your study, but it just doesn't give physical assault numbers). In 2008, about 1500 physical assaults were reported per 100000 people, roughly split between male and female victims. There are more than 20 million adults in Canada, so about 300,0…	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 07:33 AM
1	The stats indicate it's safer for a woman to walk down a dark alley than it is for a man. Anyone else find this surprising given the stranger danger we always hear about? I think you prove that a taboo exists with data. All I'm saying is that I'd like to have enough data to make a sound conclusion. Edit: and along the same lines, the statistics OP posted seem to show that men and women are physically assaulted at roughly equal rates. Certainly, the rates are not "orders of magnitude" different.	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 06:07 AM
11	The stats indicate it's safer for a woman to walk down a dark alley than it is for a man. Anyone else find this surprising given the stranger danger we always hear about? So I frequently use similar statistics in a women-empowering way, to try to convince young women that the world isn't quite as scary as they're told etc. The response I usually get is that men are attacked more on the street because they're more likely to be out on the street alone in the first place. Just from a statistical point of view, without knowing how many men or women are on the streets alone in general, it's hard to make statistical comparisons for whether it's safer for a woman or a m…	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 04:39 AM
3	"A man should never hit a woman" -- Why not? I'm not sure blackmail generally justifies the use of force. I think the general rule is to use just enough force to protect yourself (possibly others) from direct physical harm, and no more.	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 04:28 AM
6	I have taken an interest in the MRM and now my SO thinks I'm the spawn of Satan! Right, which is why I think avoiding arguments about labels and focusing on issues is so important. If you start out attacking feminism, she's just going to get defensive.	/r/MensRights	25/08/14 04:15 PM
4	I have taken an interest in the MRM and now my SO thinks I'm the spawn of Satan! I'm not trying to get into a "who is worse" argument.

If OP wants a gentle introduction to MRM for his girlfriend, this subreddit is not the place.	/r/MensRights	25/08/14 01:38 PM
19	I have taken an interest in the MRM and now my SO thinks I'm the spawn of Satan! As a woman and a TwoX reader, here's my advice: move conversation past labels. People here and elsewhere get all up in arms when you call yourself a feminist, a men's rights activist, a [fill-in-the-blank]er, but most people just want the same thing - equality. So focus the conversation on that. a substantial number of feminists have come to the conclusion that women will never reach equality until they give up privilege in certain areas. I would have her start there. In particular, I think the …	/r/MensRights	25/08/14 01:06 PM

(x-post /r/PussyPass) On a related note, men do admit to using cannabis at higher rates than women, but only about 30-50% higher (and not 1000% higher, like the arrest rates show).	/r/MensRights	22/08/14 02:26 PM
1	Rape has fallen 80% since 1970 Not necessarily. It's mathematically possible for the number of rapes to decrease drastically while the percentage of people having been raped does not. You just need to take into account that people can be raped more than once.	/r/MensRights	21/08/14 03:22 AM
1	Rape has fallen 80% since 1970 It's actually mathematically possible for the number of rapes to decrease drastically while the percentage of people having been raped does not. You just need to take into account that people can be raped more than once. I don't know the truth of it either way (we'd need to dig up more data than was provided in this article), but you're presenting a false choice here between "you're all liars" or "you didn't really do anything at all".	/r/MensRights	21/08/14 03:21 AM

-1	Am I being trolled, or does this "feminist not welcome in /MensRights/" really exist? Feminism is based around the idea of privilege and the idea of patriarchy. If you believe that men have total control over society and are solely privileged in their day to day life, then any problems they have aren't your problem, because it's caused by the patriarchy and thus by other men. I don't care if you don't agree with patriarchy theory, but this is a rather unfair explanation of it. Feminists believe that men have a disproportionate (not total) amount of control over society and are pr…	/r/MensRights	04/04/14 03:13 AM

2	Which gender gets more education (MapPorn xpost) Evolutionary explanations make nice stories and can help guide hypotheses, but in the end, you need actual evidence. Evopsych theories are not widely accepted in the medical or scientific field. And you could use those same evopsych theories to argue that "women are better at child-rearing" or "men are better at math". So should we stop fighting for men to have equal rights in custody battles, or for women to have equal access to engineering education?	/r/MensRights	13/03/14 07:03 PM

11	Which gender gets more education (MapPorn xpost) I've heard this from feminist professors in medical school, but I'm not buying it. How do we know it's biological? Just because the historical trend shows it? Maybe the life expectancy of men has historically been lower because, you know, men take on a disproportionate amount of the dangerous work (except childbirth, I suppose). Honestly, to me this is the same as saying "women are better at child-rearing" or "men are better at math" - it's not biological. If we're fighting for gender equality, …	/r/MensRights	13/03/14 03:21 PM
7	Very encouraging conversation with a self identified female feminist. That's why I like to steer conversations away from labels. Honestly, the labels people choose for themselves only weakly correlate with their actual beliefs. I don't care if you call yourself a feminist or an MRA, but do you actually support equality under the law for both sexes?	/r/MensRights	04/03/14 07:15 PM
1	A very old man pointed this out to me on the bus. Said it was an incredibly sexist ad. I couldn't agree more Then 30 minutes later; she grasped my left hand and turn my wrist to read the time. She did it nonchalantly and I later wondered what would have happened if I had done that to her instead. Perhaps I am over-thinking this. Perhaps I am just overly sensitive. I did feel that personal space was violated. Your personal space was definitely violated, and that was very unprofessional behavior. If she does it again, I would definitely recommend asking her to stop.	/r/MensRights	22/02/14 03:44 AM

5	The Bechdel test fallacy Should Bechdel’s observation be used as a means by which to not only judge films, but potentially decide which films get made and which don’t? The answer is "obviously not". Anyone advocating otherwise just doesn't understand how the Bechdel test is meant to be used. The Bechdel test is meant to reveal overarching trends in film-making (or genres of films), not to condemn any particular movie. It's definitively not a problem if an individual movie fails to pass the Bechdel test. It's only a prob…	/r/MensRights	15/11/13 01:55 AM

1	Things men do are rape, but things women do are alright. Well, first of all, you're not an asshole for leaving a sexless marriage. No one should be expected to live their lives in celibacy because their spouse no longer wants sex. But depending on the variables in this particular example, you might be an asshole for giving up so easily and suddenly. If, for example, you are newly weds with no children - then yeah sure, just chalk it up to a mistake and leave. But if you've been married for years, you have children together, and this change in sexual a…	/r/MensRights	02/10/13 12:16 PM
3	Things men do are rape, but things women do are alright. If you ever require more sex than a relationship yields, is your only recourse to politely ask for it without mention of your needs, and then pack your things if you don't get the desired answer? Personally, I would say yes - not just to sex, but also to anything you need from a relationship. The way relationships work: you state your needs (politely) and then give the other person room to accomodate them or not. If they aren't meeting your needs, you restate them, express how important they are…	/r/MensRights	02/10/13 02:08 AM

2	Saint Joseph’s University sued for bias under Title IX by student suspended over rape accusation I agree, with the exception that the school could take reasonable actions to separate the two (accuser and accused) once a complaint has been filed, regardless of the verdict.

1	Are men the only ones who are guilty of objectification? Yes, both men and women are capable of appreciating the beauty of attractive members of the other* gender. I'd say these people are pretty normal and healthy. We could argue about whether or not seeing ideal forms in magazines and advertising ultimately hurts our body image more than it brings us pleasure - but in general it's still normal to notice and admire an attractive person.

Edit: it seems that the Bureau of Justice Statistics includes threats of rape as "attempted rape", but separates attempted rape from completed rape. If you want to call this an "attempted false rape accusation," I guess that works too. As long as everyone is clear on how these definitions are being used.	/r/MensRights	20/04/13 07:01 PM
81	It still makes me sick that this is always their go to.(Cross-post r/creepyPMs) To be fair, this isn't a false accusation. Just a threat of a false accusation. Not saying this behavior isn't absolutely reprehensible - because it absolutely is. I'm also not saying that false accusations don't happen - because they do. But this situation shouldn't get counted as a false accusation. It's more like blackmail - an especially unfair form of blackmail, that currently only has a much higher possibility of being successfully used against a man than against a woman.	/r/MensRights	20/04/13 06:56 PM

If I were in an argument with someone or a group of people, and someone used the term "mansplaining" in order to diminish the value of someone's words, I'd be very upset. In my mind, no one's words are less valuable simply because of their gender, and using "mansplaining" in this way is exactly the same as saying "well you're just a woman." It's offensive.

Though I do think there could be some serious biological ramifications that we need to consider, ultimately it's absurd that women can't even join the selective service voluntarily, let alone that they aren't required.

1	The rape culture fraud - what is classified as rape and rape culture when men do it, is normative behavior for american college women That's very sad. Did you pursue legal action or report this to the cops?	/r/MensRights	05/04/13 12:54 AM
1	Empowering single moms, but at what cost? Sometimes there's some bit of truth, but sometimes there isn't. For example, there are stereotypes that men are more violent than women or that women take better care of their children. Personal anecdotes aren't enough - the way to distinguish fact from fiction is to submit hypotheses to empirical testing.	/r/MensRights	05/04/13 12:44 AM
1	dear Men's rights I am a female college student who is trying to make a speech educating students about rape any help? Some people recognize "girl" as the female equivalent to "guy", but many do not. Others say "gal" would be the correct, age-neutral equivalent to "guy".	/r/MensRights	04/04/13 02:09 PM
-3	Empowering single moms, but at what cost? I understand you aren't trying to make sweeping generalizations of all men and all women, but I still think you need sources if you're going to make any kind of statement like "women tend to do x, while men tend to do y". There are a lot of generalizations out there that are based more in stereotype than in fact.	/r/MensRights	04/04/13 01:34 PM
