Doesn't even mention that in the article. Guess gender isn't considered a relevant variable when women victimize boys. What disgusts me is I seem to read about some wack-job female teacher victimizing young males every other day. Bloody ridiculous.

Believe it or not this could be an interesting form of satire. It may be mocking the fact that feminists can't see things as things. They see them in completely biased, illogical ways based on their own ideology. This comic illustrates that misandry should be OBVIOUS, yet feminists still deny it.

This was posted up a little while back. Think we should move on from it because there's already close to 2000 comments. No one will take the time to read that so let's not waste resources and move on to the next bit of news. I commented a few times on this article a while back and now they're buried and hard to find.

This article seems to be written as if the two boys never mattered. They all care about what her opinion and state of mind are. Frankly, no one should care, she took away the lives of two young boys. She should be thrown in the corner of a prison and never looked at again. Never mind the fact that no one should ever, ever give another thought to her well-being. She is a horrible mother, child-abuser and murderer. She doesn't deserve our sympathy and most definitely does not deserve any more chil…

That kind of attitude really makes me cringe. I'm now convinced you're extremely bitter. Fighting fire with fire won't work and it only paints you as even more devilish then the feminists you oppose. If you want any recognition you need to appeal to the average individual. Most people who aren't educated in either feminism or men's rights and still find themselves on the fence won't respond to this inflammatory language. I take the example of Warren Farrell. After his recent lecture on U of T ca…

Hmmm, you'd think that maybe they've been hiring the most interested and most qualified people up until this point. It's well known that men both enjoy and enter into tech fields at higher rates than women. That doesn't mean women can't excel if they choose that path, they just don't choose it as often. It's not always about having an even split between genders. Most of the time within the capitalist sphere having the best person for the job will provide the best benefits to the company. Sorry i…

I'm happy to read about this, if only because it proves the difference between mainstream feminist media and MRA accountability. Whereas men falsely accused of rape or sexual abuse are ostracized with little to no apology, AVFM is doing what it can to make sure they don't do the same to someone innocent. Also, considering the staff at AVFM I wouldn't be surprised if they issue a personal apology or are still doing something beyond this simple posting. They'll do exactly what advocates of feminis…

It isn't necessarily a feminist plot, it's just a symptom or outcome of a feminist leaning society. Most are lead to believe not just by feminism but by society as a whole that offering women advantages is the morally correct option. A lot of feminism advocates would appreciate that we seek to blame them for this. It makes us seem bitter, and willing to blame just about everything on feminists. Rather than assign blame, realize that most of society is feminized and the only way to get to them is…

I still think this piece got it fairly wrong. Frankly, it's not that these grass eating men have swallowed feminism and believe in it's tenets as the author suggests. These men seek to avoid marriage because it is a risk and also forces them into a sort of obligatory servitude to a wife and children. Japanese men are smart not because they embrace feminism, but because they avoid the new woman who has the capacity to destroy them.

This is very true. Frankly it can come down to which judge you are assigned and what state you live in. I would at the very least advise that he (or you if you care enough) do some research into the law within your state. You can't really do much about whichever judge you get assigned.

Maybe so, but there are ways of intellectually shaming those that spew those claims. Just be insistent, logical, and somewhat emotional when outing them as an individual with no regard for academia. Intellectual shaming isn't like other shaming. Frankly the goal is to make them feel stupid, and maybe say enough that you'll run intellectual circles around them. This is a responsibility to those who still value true academics. If enough people listen, some will check us out. Unfortunately the femi…

That makes sense haha. It really isn't a nice feeling, I have to agree with you on that. There is something disingenuous about completely ignoring logic and fact.

There is a reason leading lines of questioning can be objected to in a court of law. You knew her opinion, apparently better than I thought given you've had discussions with her in the past. Her standpoint was made pretty clear early on. Your arguments were leading because you shaped the question in a way that will generate an expected response.

You can always try arguing emotionally. Just make sure you maintain a sense of logic. I've tried guilt shaming feminists who claim to be strictly against mens rights. Not many feminists expect that you'll reply asking whether they hate men, or are for female supremacy. It is possible to emotionally demonize feminists, it just comes less naturally to men who prefer logical argumentation.

Disgusting. Fact that the mother beat the son was only mentioned in passing. Where is her trial and persecution? She should be in prison, not allowed to pursue claims that may or may not involve her biological daughter. She should have no children. In my opinion the biggest issue here is that people are humoring this story. Why would anyone want to send a daughter back to an abusive mother? Why do we allow a son to stay with his abusive mother? Focus of this story should be on the fact that she …

I sometimes begin doubting whether feminists know the definition of the word hypocrisy. Then again, their emotional argumentation may simply result in hypocrisy being impossible for women. I mean, obviously we should be able to post anything we want about men without asking. However, as soon as a woman is targeted this becomes a much bigger deal. You know, because they are inherently better than men and all.

Take it easy man. You're speaking to someone open-minded and posting in r/mensrights. This isn't a witch hunt. If you'd like to initiate some sort of argument then you should probably visit another reddit. You're pretty much using a leading line of argumentation, and for what purpose? Just say your point and back it up rather than trying to lead someone into claiming something so you can bash or talk down to them. Horribly unprofessional and pretty inconsiderate.

I only find this article absurd in the sense that I'm always surprised by how much time and effort are wasted on meaningless issues when related to society as a whole. Sure, gender issues are extremely relevant, but we have more important things to talk about, even within gender, then the rights of both men and women to go about topless.

There are a lot of proposals which would result in various issues (pre-nups are another great example). By placing the responsibility on the government to test the paternity of every child, men no longer risk being ostracized if concerned over paternity. This would remove a lot of stress from men suspicious of paternity fraud. They'll no longer have to worry about offending their wife because they'll be reassured that paternity will be revealed to you whether you like it or not.

Yup, finding another way to blame the decline in marriage rates, and the increasing likelihood of divorce on men. I find it interesting that the 80% female initiated divorce stat is completely overlooked. Does this mean that women are the ones who develop issues when making more than their husbands? They also don't really acknowledge the commonality of shaming men who make less than their wives, or are stay-at-home fathers/husbands. This isn't simply done by men, but also done by many women who …

Can you really blame him in todays day and age? When the divorce rate is over 50%, with 80% of them being initiated by women, it becomes hard to trust even the most amazing of women. If the divorce rate is that high, what exempts me from being included in those stats? Further, considering the projected prevalence of paternity fraud in some countries it is certainly a valid concern. Mostly, I figure every child should be tested no matter what. This way the male won't have to ask for it and risk i…

Finding out that your children aren't really yours will cause even more marital problems. In fact, the angrier your wife gets when broaching the topic of a paternity test, the more likely you should get one. She may only be angry as a defense mechanism knowing that the paternity test won't match up.

Only issues I have with this are the fact that sexual assault and rape as a combined stat are still the least likely form of violent crime that can occur. However, feminists go toting this stuff around as if it were more common than murder when it's not even close. For the amount of rape or sexual assault which occurs, it's sad how much time, money, and mental as well as physical effort is wasted raising awareness for a "rape culture" which doesn't actually exist.

Feminism is a one way street. I'm much more surprised when I see them covering something which may expose their bigotry, such as in this case. On a side note, I would never shave my chest for a woman. If my current girlfriend ever asked me to it would be over.

Paternity tests are definitely your go to in this situation. They are all a man really has to save himself from this sort of moment in life. However it's not always easy to get one, especially since you haven't admitted paternity and thus have very limited access to the child you'll need to test. You must continue with it. Just recently France made it illegal for fathers to check whether they are paternal parents of their so-called children. I believe this was pushed because most would be surpri…

It's much easier to spew false stats or emotional argumentation when discussing ideology over logic and/or fact. They can say over and over that the patriarchy makes them feel threatened, but what happens when we don't believe in a patriarchal system? They try to disqualify you from discussion by setting up their own theories as universal and true, and then expecting you to work within them.

I have issues with that because these two schools of thought are set up to oppose each other. Why have a masculism and feminism when we could simply claim to all be gender egalitarians? By creating a whole ideology on one side, and then saying they can work with the other side seamlessly would be to suggest that one side of a coin can become like the other. However, the only way that can actually happen is if someone hammered the coin into a flat nothingness in which both sides were blank. I say…

Not if you don't subscribe to the ideology "masculism." For the most part, it's a term used by feminists to drag MRAs into various oppositional arguments. Rather, I disagree with feminism on fundamental levels. If a feminist attempts to label me as "masculinist" then I will correct him/her by stating that I identify as an anti-feminist and MRA, and then explain why.

Hence the addition of "and not engage with women on anything but a professional level." While even this won't prevent accusations of rape, abuse or assault, a reputation of celibacy and a non-woman based lifestyle will make it easier to prove innocence.

I completely agree, and I figure some bitterness probably came through in my post. If I could have my way, I wouldn't oust anyone publicly until convictions come through. Even then, there doesn't seem much point to it except as a way of providing and selling "news". Frankly, law is law and it should be universal.

I'm not attempting to defeat anything. I'm simply offering a solution to those who wish to avoid surgery. Having sex and getting married in todays age is quite the risk for men, and logically speaking should be avoided. On another note, by outright avoiding these things it won't be long before men start making waves as a movement.

You still need her permission in most first-world countries, though it is very indirect. For instance, if you get a vasectomy which your wife didn't want the result may be a divorce. In most cases, the man suffers much more than a woman does throughout and after divorce proceedings. Thus, indirectly women still control your choice. Sure you can get a vasectomy, but be prepared for a divorce which will leave you broken if your significant other is too unhappy with it.

Better solution than surgery? Don't have sex! Instead focus your energy on things which won't get you falsely accused of rape or involved with someone who will destroy you entirely. Just because you don't have juice doesn't mean you won't be falsely accused of rape or sexual assault. It also won't matter much when your wife/partner wants that child, but because you got a vasectomy decides to divorce you. In the end, you paid for surgery and are still finding yourself destitute as a result of the…

I read the article, but I actually didn't see much of a point to it. Only thing I took from it was the fact that at the moment our author is about to find happiness, his wife is enraged and he ends up unhappy for 10 years. On that note, he may actually be advocating for MGTOW lifestyle and against marriage. However, considering he is a writer for the GMP I can only imagine he just doesn't know how to craft a well written, well structured article.

I like how a few people give references to friends or themselves having been raped and not seeing justice. Frankly, while they assume that they will be believed and are in the right, the whole 1 in 10 of accusations being false raises an interesting point. Is it possible that some of these references are actually made up? Or are friends lying to other friends about having been raped? Frankly, considering that stat I have as much reason to question the accuser as the accused.

Women don't get accused of rape. They do, but then the judge throws out the case or offers a light as hell sentence before media even gets a wiff of it. That, or the media does cover the trial but sides with the woman as being a victim of a patriarchal society. Thus, according to them women can never be held responsible for acts of rape committed by them.

Feminists have near-perfected the art of taking a seemingly unbiased, untainted piece of genuine fact and warping it according to their own illogical, emotionally influenced means of argumentation. Yes, some people are off-put when around someone who differs from what they see as a sexual norm.

Seems to me like one of her more subtle goals was the hijacking of the word "misandry."

There is definitely systemic discrimination against men in regards to sentencing. I can't think of a single country where this isn't the case.

It's pretty accurate. Logically speaking most children born out of wedlock will be unplanned. Often a couple will get married after the fact, but it is still an unplanned pregnancy. In today's day and age it's almost impossible to support a child on your own and still live a fulfilling life. Knowing that, I may not have stats, but I know enough through logic to say stats would prove my point.

Nearly 50% of child birth in the United States occurs out of wed-lock. I can imagine a lot of those were thus unplanned, or somehow planned by the woman involved. If men took their reproduction seriously enough, it's quite possible a huge portion of those 50% are never born. If half weren't born, that's a decrease in total births by a quarter. Seems like it has the potential to effect society quite a bit.

Pretty much. It's kind of sad how the topic was changed from the draft to voluntary military service. Permu... seems to think that they are equivalent.

I completely agree with that. You must acknowledge that the degree to which society as a whole discusses rape is a bit much though. It does definitely need to be addressed as an issue.

Objectification is in many ways an instinctual response and falls in the generalization category as a means of processing information.

Rape is the least common form of violent crime. It really ranks very low on the priority list. Ideas that a woman has to be constantly wary are bogus and used by the feminist community to keep women feeling threatened and in the position of victim. It's actually more likely that a male will get attacked by a group of other males. In that sense, males have much more to worry about when walking the streets at night (males suffer from more violent crime than women, look it up).

Satire is the bending or reversal of social norms in order to inspire moral correction. It is very far from simply trying to abuse people on the internet.

Stop congratulating the use of the term feminism. It's outdated, outmoded, and now represents a slanted view of gender egalitarianism. Even the word itself is inherently discriminatory as it assumes a feminine bend on the way they tackle gender politics. Get rid of it! Gender Egalitarian works so much better and conveys all the right things!

Be extremely prepared friend. Chances are she'll only have to make a claim and provide a stick of evidence to get you the boot. Find all the evidence you can (both proving her wrong and tarnishing her reputation) and use it all. Always be respectful of authority. In order for guys to come out on top in these situations, we need to be PERFECT! I really hope, though I doubt it will occur, that your ex faces some sort of repercussion. If you get away with this sir, then please launch a counter-suit…

Just reinstate the requirement for more evidence in cases of rape and sexual assault. Often there is a bias simply due to the rampant woman=victim mentality. You need significantly less as a woman to gain the favor of the courts in these instances. Punishment should possibly be handed to judges who are seen to partake in this bias. If it results in a sentence where one isn't deserved, the one making such decisions should be taken into consideration.

Shallow thinking? Not quite. I use the word true because I'm aware of many self-proclaimed MRAs who will turn out to be misogynists. I simply use it in the most egalitarian sense of the word, which is applying logic. If you wish to dispute logic then be my guest, but that would be closer to feminist argumentation than my initial comment ever was. Is it wrong to think a true egalitarian in any aspect (race, gender, class etc.) would be against discrimination? No, it wouldn't. You're just creating…

It's true haha, in which case I guess I just gave the op their answer.

Saw this posted a few days ago. It's not really referring to the fact that we as men don't get cancer, but that if we get a cold we act whinier than a woman who has cancer. They are trying to suggest that women are stronger to the point that they can operate fully and be happy while at risk of death while men shut down and become miserable when slightly sick. It's really just a bunch of bullshit. Can't believe this passes as humour to some people.

I made sure to say after the birth of a child. I understand it takes them time to recover, but I'm referring simply the time a parent must spend with the child post-recovery. This role can be filled equally by a male or female, and yet it is not seen that way.

So you believe being a true MRA has something to do with being a misogynist? I don't believe I misused language at all friend. MRAs are human rights advocates, while misogyny refers to a sort of discrimination when used properly. I'm only implying that egalitarians will avoid discrimination whenever they can. No need to be so angry and label it "bullshit". The advantage to having them explain it to you is precisely because they won't be able to. It's not a matter of getting to that individual, b…

In most cases you can ask a similar question and just replace female with male or vice versa. Such as, "Should women get leave from work after the birth of a child?" versus "Should men get leave from work after the birth of a child?" Both are logically valid and equivalent, and imply the same answer when read in an egalitarian manner. However, most people will reply yes to the first while no the second. It's society that shapes most answers to this sort of question. Also, make sure you get stats…

If there is in any way a gender oriented issue to be discussed (in this case differences in male/female sentencing for the same crime, or a woman getting away with behavior a man could be arrested for) then it is a gender issue and belongs here.

It's true, there is a benefit to being seen proving a point explicitly in public lol. We'll get to the point eventually where many of these rad fems are ostracized for their views. Right now they are vocal because they can be. As soon as they get the hateful public stares that many MRAs get by default, I'm hoping that ignorance will start to break.

It's at the point they are about to stomp off that the point needs to be driven home. Otherwise they log onto their radical feminist blogs when they get home, and by the end of the night truly believe the whole situation can be blamed on misogyny and patriarchy. Those illusions need to be shattered completely, beyond the point of the illusion being able to repair itself with a large dose of ignorance.

If a women ever asks me to shave my beard, it's over. Some of them weren't that bad, but a lot of them seem like recipes for OCD type behavior. I feel bad for the women who'll be following this advice, and the men they think they'll be "changing".

If someone ever labels you a misogynist, your best bet is to calmly ask them to clarify what it is that makes you a misogynist. If you're a true MRA, you won't be misogynist, and thus whatever explanation they try to give will be hollow at best. At that point, proceed to politely pick apart their arguments until they have nothing left but an empty term.

Read her comment and you'll notice she still refers to this piece as a solution, although an imperfect one. It was not satire, it was a piece written to blow off steam, meaning it came from a place of anger and/or hate.
