5	UK: Woman, 32, flew into a rage and stabbed her boyfriend with a kitchen knife twice after he used up the milk making HER a cup of tea avoids jail. OP: Because she is female He went to protect his face with hands - she stabbed him in the hand and forearm. She was going for his face/head.	/r/MensRights	01/06/24 03:12 AM
7	The Old Boys Club: What is happening to male spaces? I seem to remember a few girls being allowed in the scouts when I was a kid (in the late 90s, Australia). And personally, I liked that. So it strikes me as odd/hypocritical in this supposedly progressive, inclusive time that a few boys wouldn't be allowed into the girl scouts. That said, I'd have no problem with the girl scouts being just for girls either. But then it's back to the problem, why are girls-only spaces sacred and necessary and boys-only spaces are regressive and misogynistic? And t…	/r/MensRights	12/05/24 01:14 AM
2	Just another legal double standard Yep. That article does not say what the op says it does. There's still plenty of room to talk about gender disparity in how that would be applied etc. But the article says it's not talking about blanket banning prosecution of all vulnerable women (let alone all women), because even vulnerable women can commit gang-related crimes willingly.	/r/MensRights	06/02/24 12:09 AM
2	When will the camel's back break? I don't think logic and reason should be abandoned - not at all, critical thinking is precious, obviously. (Not that anyone's suggesting it, but insofar as the rest of my comment:) But I think, for the people on the other side of the fence, it's been usurped by another style of thinking. Where the truth is found by stories and things that get repeated, cliches, the way people feel etc. If they can find stats or facts to back those things up, that's a bonus. But really that's secondary. So, it's …	/r/MensRights	18/07/23 01:31 AM
2	"I'm a mom who flies in business class while my family stays in economy. We see it as a lesson on feminism." Her kids are 5 and 7. She travelled with her two-month old the first time she went first-class. On a separate occasion. And I guarantee she didn't get any funny looks for being a woman in first-class as she claims, that's ridiculous (everybody feels self-conscious doing something like for the first time). But she says it was "life-altering" - that's true. Do it once and you'll absolutely want to do it again if you can. That's all that happened here, nothing to do with feminism. I hope her husban…	/r/MensRights	12/06/23 02:54 AM
3	Why the rate of single men in the US looking for dates has declined True, it's weird to think of it as a "market". But then again, if you meet someone that shares your interest, and you enjoy their company, you can form bonds and maybe have a future. People have options, but they've gotta remember it's all about equity these days.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/02/23 02:33 AM
5	"Patriarchy hurts men too!" "Do you even left, bro?" Sorry, I don't mean to make light of serious stuff. Your ability to write a compelling, succinct and fair comment is only matched by the job you do on these slideshows. It really is top-notch - I just couldn't help notice that little bit o' funny.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/02/23 10:47 AM
7	thoughts? "80% of violent crimes are committed by men" =/= 80% of men are going to commit a violent crime!! Also, that comment about "She was in fear for her life, which you wouldn't understand because of your privilege". That bugs me. For one, it goes against their own logic, which accepts that more men are victims of violent crime (so there's higher chance that any given man has trauma from being a victim than a woman and a better chance they would understand that fear). But also, people like this seem …	/r/MensRights	16/01/23 12:41 AM
1	Domestic Violence: complex problems demand complex solutions. Yeah, that's so true. Didn't really think about it before, but you could interpret power in a lot of different ways. And play on that.. if you were so inclined.. to define people as more or less powerful when that might not really mean anything.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/23 10:45 AM
1	Domestic Violence: complex problems demand complex solutions. Yep, I get ya. Just intuitively, if power is associated with "wife battering" (and you'd assume it is a lot of the time..?), then you'd think it would be just as much associated with husband battering. Ngl, I'm not sure I fully understand the difference between a direct relationship and an associated risk factor. I guess, a direct relationship is more causal maybe (?), but a risk factor isn't necessarily? ^ Anyway, so on that basis don't take my comments too seriously (I don't understand this st…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/23 10:44 AM
8	Domestic Violence: complex problems demand complex solutions. I'm confused about "No direct relationship exists between power and violence within couples". I thought wow... that is not what I imagined at all. I thought at least some of the time (like 25% of the time maybe) there would be one more powerful partner - that whole coercive control thing. But then in the comment it says "power and control IS a characteristic" of both male and female abuse. So - is abuse different to violence? Am I not understanding what a "direct relationship" is between power a…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/23 01:00 AM

1	Suicide - speak up? Yeah, fair enough. I mean, my first thought is (in trying to defend my case here!) - maybe you were seeing the more extreme cases. Like, the more violent/aggressive anger-prone type people tend to be the ones who might end up in a psychiatric facility (?) But then, you were probably also seeing the people that were most likely to fulfill a suicide attempt. And those are the people we're talking about. (I assume, anyway - it could always be that the obvious angry guys are actually less likely to …	/r/MensRights	29/11/22 01:28 PM
2	Suicide - speak up? Rage or potentially harmful behaviours. Is it just me that balks a little at this? I hear it a lot - usually something to the effect of: "men process emotions differently, instead of being X, they'll show anger or rage". How common is this really?? As a man, I can't relate to it at all (and I've attempted suicide etc. like I'm sure a lot of people have). Not to saying it doesn't ever happen; that a suicidal impulse can't manifest that way. I've seen really fucked up people - like deeply disturbe…	/r/MensRights	29/11/22 08:07 AM

1	Who is responsible for abortions? According to ‘Ejaculate Responsibly’ author Gabrielle Blair, it's men of course. Never mind that men literally have zero say in whether an abortion happens or not. My thoughts too, it's the same argument.	/r/MensRights	21/10/22 01:55 AM
5	When someone tells you that "Reddit hates women," just remember that threads like this (and worse) are totally commonplace. Okay. So you're talking more about women being harassed, which is fair. That's psycho behaviour. So yeah, I can see how that's a more justified fear. At least intuitively, I can imagine that potentially happening much more often than violence, which is what I was thinking of (I think because of the comment I responded to and the Bundy stuff). I mean, my point was that even if you can't tell which men are psychos, the chance that any man you choose to compliment will be a psycho is very, very low…	/r/MensRights	16/10/22 12:28 PM

Men wanting to see males as well as females modelling clothes is just as important an issue as women being murdered in Iran or abortion being outlawed.	/r/MensRights	16/10/22 08:08 AM
22	When someone tells you that "Reddit hates women," just remember that threads like this (and worse) are totally commonplace. This is the thing. The women here talk about how dangerous men are and that women feel afraid all the time. I have sympathy for women feeling afraid. But when it's an irrational, unjustified fear... (Like, you seriously think male psycho murderers are so common there's a good chance any given man you talk to will turn out to be one??). That part just grates me a little, it's like.. get real. And your point addresses the second comment very well. If people's actions were dictated by the actual da…	/r/MensRights	16/10/22 07:27 AM
2	I spent my night watching “The Red Pill” by former Feminist Cassie Jaye this is how i feel about it For sure. (Also on the falling asleep and blurry details, that happens to me a lot too lol). But yeah I agree, like in some situations it really undermines women and the power they do have by pretending that they have the capacity of children even though they're grown adults. Exactly how you said, women who buy into that must feel weak and like victims. Another thing that just popped into my head, can't remember if this was mentioned, but I'm curious about financial motivations with this stuff. …	/r/MensRights	15/10/22 12:33 AM
5	I spent my night watching “The Red Pill” by former Feminist Cassie Jaye this is how i feel about it A lot of the time it feels like people are way more interested in reinforcing their own beliefs rather than finding the truth. And it sucks how often people would rather act in bad faith and misrepresent the opinions of others so they can argue against them. So, I really respect her honesty. And it's usually a good sign (imo) when doc-filmmakers find their opinions conflicted or changed after exploring a subject.

I knew he's had addiction problems (and I'm not one to criticise for that). But I didn't know about the domestic violence and beating women stuff. He's always come across as a bit of a soulless, phony, slimy character, I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that. And I can totally see him being adversarial towards Cassie just for his image and woke points. But that's to be expected.

1	UK: Fury as AA says it does NOT 'prioritise' a lone woman over a man at roadside: Customers 'CANCEL memberships' as breakdown firm confirms it does not give priority 'based on gender' Oh, okay. They actually changed their procedures/policies? You get my point though - from the article/s, it looks to me like the wording of a generic PR tweet they sent was used to create a misleading headline (that they now prioritise women - when the only concrete thing they said was that they would prioritise anyone in danger, including women). But yeah, show me that they actually changed their procedures, or that they prioritise women, or said they would, I'll happily believe it.	/r/MensRights	25/01/22 02:30 AM
3	UK: Fury as AA says it does NOT 'prioritise' a lone woman over a man at roadside: Customers 'CANCEL memberships' as breakdown firm confirms it does not give priority 'based on gender' Did they actually change anything though? I can't tell if that second article is based on exactly the same tweet response included in the first article: "Where there is any concern raised by the customer, they receive the highest level of care and priority". ie. Their policy was always to prioritise anyone who raised concerns about safety. The second article just reframes that as "Women are top priority".... when they raise concerns (which was always the policy). What do you think? Anyway - If t…	/r/MensRights	21/01/22 03:30 AM
1	Why was there so little media covarege when it turned out that amber heard was the one who abused jonhy depp? No wonder he lost then, he had no evidence! Seems like a major oversight. Evidence has gotta be like, one of the basic things you need to win a court case... I'm sure he'll remember for next time though. Bring some evidence along with his packed lunch ;)	/r/MensRights	20/01/22 04:07 AM
2	Why was there so little media covarege when it turned out that amber heard was the one who abused jonhy depp? I mean, I'm sure there was a huge bias in how it was reported (and a huge public bias anyway) and that probably had a lot to do with why the decision went the way it did - especially in the UK. Because at the time, I found it difficult to understand how that ruling could have ben made (I forget the details of it now - like what the Sun or JD had to actually prove - but I remember thinking the judge was crazy). And JD's been stopped at every turn to try and appeal the decision, afaik - which, aga…	/r/MensRights	21/10/21 07:16 AM
2	Why was there so little media covarege when it turned out that amber heard was the one who abused jonhy depp? Was she though? I know enough to know that's true, essentially she was the abuser in the relationship. But Johnny Depp lost the case against The Sun didn't he? They found it was fair to call him a wife-beater. That's about all I know, so I might be missing something - I know there was going to be another case, not sure if that's happened yet? So, I would say a big reason is because it hasn't been legally established (I'd love to be wrong though). From everything I've read/looking into, obviously…	/r/MensRights	21/10/21 02:37 AM
3	We need to be vocal about misandry in movies and TV – A case for Amazon's Cinderella Just from your post, the thing that kind of annoyed me the most was Cinderalla's business - it's like she's virtuous because she's an aspiring entrepreneur. So I was glad to read at the end you talked about "feminist capitalism" (which is a term I haven't actually heard before - and I honestly haven't given it much thought). But it grates against me for some reason. And I'm not exactly sure why! It's like the message is "young women should all aspire to be good at capitalism". Anyway...

1	UK: Drunk mother, 29, makes false allegation of sexual assault then flashes her breasts and bottom at a police officer before sexually assaulting him. But she is spared jail. "She was made the subject of an 18-month community order, ordered to undertake a 30-day rehabilitation programme and handed a night-time curfew". Honestly, that seems like an appropriate punishment to me. Maybe because I'm an ex-drinker who has had my moments in the past, I have sympathy. But basically, she got rowdy with the police. Flashed her tits, rubbed her arse on one of them and spat at the other one - If that's a first offence, I don't think someone should get jail for that. The false al…	/r/MensRights	17/06/21 08:42 AM
23	Statutory rape victim forced to pay child support At first I thought it was because she was never actually convicted of raping a minor. So, kind of a technicality that results in a terrible situation. You would think based on his age alone, that it would be legally seen as a rape by default, but...even still. (Edit: Actually, maybe it is seen as a rape, but it doesn't matter somehow). You could almost stretch to seeing that it's sort of a legal loophole that screwed him, if she was never convicted. But that's not even it. In some cases, the wom…	/r/PussyPass	04/05/21 02:04 AM

2	A round of applause for the government of Ontario for displaying the correct definition and statistics about rape (sexual violence) on their website. I am actually surprised only 1 in 6 men have received unwanted sexual comments or advances, to be honest. Would have thought most men would have been groped, called-at, hit-on, had sexual comments made about them when they didn't want it... at some point. I also don't think that's particularly violent, or a big deal. But if that's how they're defining it... the number actually seems low, to me. I mean, it does say "are affected" so maybe the survey had a time limit, like "in the last 6 months". …	/r/MensRights	05/04/20 07:25 AM

He's five years old, for fuck's sake. And his bahaviour sounds absolutely normal for a five year old. But in her eyes, he's wrong from the start because he's a boy. And compared to the older girl, he's a liar and pathologically stubborn.

It's weird as hell, imo - if you really imagine it happening to you - but it''s not necessarily that big a deal.

It's just so strangely specific that it makes it kind of obvious that this has more to do with the type of 'fathers' she attracts into her life, than anything to do with fathers in general.

Because in a very small way, it reinforces "this is what men are supposed to be. This is what women are supposed to be". It's another small message that you should aspire to be the stereotypical example of your gender.

But apart from that one article you linked, any other articles about "toxic femininity" seem to be just another angle on why women are victims.

But the feminists, after being "subliminally" shown the stereotypes sacrificed men more readily? huh... A few other comments mentioned this; but it seems like the stereotypes could potentially reinforce sacrificing and not sacrificing men. I guess that depends on what mood they're in and what aspect of the contradictory narrative feels more convenient in the moment. Save the men = Men more…	/r/MensRights	05/06/18 10:01 PM
6	Rant: Why does even suggesting that maybe men are lacking some basic humans rights somehow imply you want to subjugate women. Maybe it's just me, but I really feel like people have gotten worse with this. Is it just an illusion that 10-15 years ago people weren't quite as bad with this BS? Maybe it's just that I see it on the internet more now than back then. But now it's like, with any serious topic, it's not about making a solid argument. You have to make an argument that, when misinterpreted, still sounds kind of right...to someone who's going to ignore the actual meaning of what you're sayi-...ugh I don't even know…	/r/MensRights	04/06/18 03:42 PM

With scents that would supposedly appeal to men? Is that it? I just don't get it from their perspective. Is it that they felt left out, or was it "sexist" to say that those smells appeal to men? Or..? Not expecting a reasonable argument for why, but is it just because the word "man" is in the product name? Cause I can't really see any other reason…	/r/MensRights	01/06/18 02:31 AM
10	Female Teachers Having Affairs With Young Boys — Now a Weekly Occurrence Which is why that "I wish that'd happened to me" or "he probably didn't say no" is so ignorant So true. I just want to add - not that it needs to be said, really - but that children aren't fully-formed people psychologically. That's why we should treat minors as not able to give consent. Gender doesn't affect that in any way whatsoever. Obvious stuff, I know, but still... So the implication of treating a male victim abused by a woman differently to a female abused by a man is absolutely disgusti…	/r/MensRights	27/05/18 08:57 AM
1	Feminists get sued for gender discrimination and cry to their followers to pay for it Thanks. I think you're right; it's a shame, that what should be taken as genuine and serious issues are brushed aside because of the negative public perception of the people bringing them up.	/r/MensRights	12/05/18 10:36 PM
2	Feminists get sued for gender discrimination and cry to their followers to pay for it Thanks for your reply. I take your main point, if the law really is that clear, then so be it. The law is the law. Sure, we can have our opinions on whether we agree with the law, but that's not the point here. So, fair enough. (I'm outside the US as well, so I'm more ignorant of it than most). This part doesn't really matter, but I was a little unclear on the next two things you said : Positive light? This guy is a schyester lawyer trying to make a buck Well...yeah. That doesn't help the appear…	/r/MensRights	12/05/18 10:23 PM
2	Feminists get sued for gender discrimination and cry to their followers to pay for it Absolutely not a feminist here and I like to think I take men's rights issues seriously. But unless I'm missing something major, your analysis seems spot-on. Regardless of what I think about the wage-gap or lack thereof, suing this group really doesn't paint the men's rights movement in a favorable light. I know the people suing don't represent all MRAs. But that's not necessarily how it will be appear to the average person. "Evil MRAs destroy the attempts of underprivileged women trying to get …	/r/MensRights	12/05/18 04:55 PM

5	Liberal feminist professors are decidedly illiberal with students whose opinion differs from theirs. I think people might mean different things when they talk about the wage gap. There's what you mean; a difference in total earnings between men and women. Obviously that exists, no question and there's legitimate reasons for it. I'm just wondering if some people may mean a gap at more of an individual level. Like regular instances of women being paid less than men for the same work. If that's what someone meant by a "wage gap", then it would be fair to say it doesn't exist. I think the first def…	/r/MensRights	24/01/18 07:18 AM

0	If both parties were drunk, how can only one be accused of rape? Ugh...You're just being way too touchy in general. But this part I should clear up because I think I see how you're misreading it: Cos it seems like you're saying on the one hand, people don't think she was sober. But then, if she wasn't sober, he could have raped her while she was asleep. First sentence, you did say that. And it's true. Second sentence, was just me drawing a conclusion - I can see how it may have sounded like I was putting words in your mouth there, but that's not what I meant.…	/r/MensRights	21/09/17 03:35 AM
0	If both parties were drunk, how can only one be accused of rape? yeah alright, alright keep your pants on.... It's just that everyone - including you in your previous comment - are focusing on whether she was drunk, which is mostly irrelevant. You already made it clear nobody's going out to fuck sleeping women, that part's fine. Last few sentences - agree completely.	/r/MensRights	21/09/17 03:20 AM
1	If both parties were drunk, how can only one be accused of rape? I agree her story doesn't add up. But to me, if she was asleep, it doesn't matter if she was drunk or not. Cos it seems like you're saying on the one hand, people don't think she was sober. But then, if she wasn't sober, he could have raped her while she was asleep. So...then she was raped? So..I don't think it matters if she was drunk or not. Only whether she was asleep. And she's probably saying she wasn't drunk to avoid being blamed, but actually imo, that kind of goes against her. Because li…	/r/MensRights	21/09/17 02:28 AM
1	If both parties were drunk, how can only one be accused of rape? Usually this sub is really reasonable, so maybe I'm missing something. But if she was unconscious, then it seems fair to call that rape. If fucking unconscious women is acceptable now, then count me out... Or is everyone just assuming that part's bs? I mean, it's hard to believe her story - she claims she wasn't drunk, but somehow he managed to penetrate her without waking her up = that's hard to believe. Is that what people are assuming/reacting to?	/r/MensRights	21/09/17 01:07 AM
1	Gender gap in physics blamed on boys being able to project pee up walls [No, I'm not kidding] I think that's an intuition for physics rather than intuition for aiming projectiles, tbh.	/r/MensRights	17/09/17 05:41 AM
3	Gender gap in physics blamed on boys being able to project pee up walls [No, I'm not kidding] Learning how to solve theoretical projectile motion problems is completely different to using intuition to aim balls ...orpee etc. Eg. Take a bunch of footballers with excellent aim and without teaching them how, ask them to solve a theoretical projectile motion problem. They haven't got much of a hope. Males might be generally more adept at the maths involved. And males might be more adept at physically aiming and throwing things. But those are two quite different skills.

Honest to god, I'm not exaggerating when I say it's a shame ^ that your last comment is in an ancient (I day old) chain so a lot of people will miss it. I knew there was something in the back of my mind as I was writing before (!); and that's it, the similarity to politics these days. It sounds really old-mannish, but it's hard not to see these things as all linked.

I agree mostly with what you're saying. just see it slightly differently right now, so I may as well just mention what thoughts your comment inspired. I think it forces us all to make our comments unequivocally clear. People need to know which side you're on!! Which is stupid.

2	College student who lied about getting raped begs to dodge jail Don't you hate that? The thumbs down just discourage intelligent discussion. Sure, I can understand someone being sooo outraged by an opinion that they have to thumb it down. But when you clearly say the "devil's advocate" opinion isn't even yours, all the downvotes don't exactly shout intelligent, rational discussion. It shits me.

1	The day the school told us we couldn't have body image issues It's like the average male build (according to television) is way more muscular than real life. So the buff guys are gigantic thor types and the nerds are just normal athletic/buff guys.	/r/MensRights	31/08/17 12:30 AM

6	The day the school told us we couldn't have body image issues Just as a sidenote and only my opinion here, but men in TV shows and the media generally are way more muscular, buff, athletic etc. than they used to be. I mean, they practically all are unless they're specifically a nerdy character. It's really getting to a ridiculous and almost unnatural level imo, compared to previous decades. So I'm just speculating here, that I'd guess now more than ever young guys would be especially prone to body image issues.

10	The power of bias : Are you confused at how so many critics of the "google diversity memo" seem to be criticizing an entirely, utterly different document from the one actually written by James Damore? Cassie Jaye's experience gives valuable insight. Honestly and openly reading or listening to someone's argument - especially if you disagree with it - and trying to understand what they're actually saying, is something I consider a pretty fking basic adult skill. Clearly, a lot of people don't or can't do this - and we've all met them, but it does blow my mind a little bit how common this is, and how blind those people are to what they're doing. It's a mental maturity thing. And it's absolutely rife among feminists, fwiw. (From what I've seen …	/r/MensRights	12/08/17 04:41 AM
4	Feminist gets pwned by Australian Senator Seems to me, all he wants is for this "violence against women" program (whatever it is) to be successful by being based on accurate information. It just seems to me, that feminist types (I don't know how else to describe them) are so used to bullshitty make-it-up-as-you-go reasoning, they're not in the practice of looking at reality, and then solving the problem. They make up their own wishy-washy reality, and then go from there. This just seems a perfect example of that, imo.	/r/MensRights	04/08/17 01:08 AM

7	Why do some feminists say that the term "friend-zone" is offensive ? I mean I tend to disagree with most of the things feminists say, but "friend zone" being an offensive term is a concept I can't even grasp So...the term refers to a social dynamic where a woman wants to be friends with a guy, but it's implied that he wants a romantic relationship. Or vice versa with the genders, but usually not. Yeah? There's nothing inherently misogynistic about the words themselves, so maybe it's the situation they describe that feminists take issue with? But there's nothing misogynistic about the situation, so feminists have to misinterpret the term and give it a negative connotation. So, I think they interpret …	/r/MensRights	22/07/17 06:27 PM
