You say "number of degrees" is a meaningless metric, when in fact higher education directly leads to higher income. If you actually bothered to look up which fields are dominated by women, words such as "medicine" and "law" would come up.	/r/MensRights	10/04/15 03:44 PM
-2	Since 1982, Women Have Earned About 10,000,000 MORE US College Degrees Than Men. "Your friend" might once have said something, but the government has comprehensive statistics, which aren't that difficult to look up, and they prove you wrong. For example see this table: http://i.imgur.com/MY8Oqwe.png source: http://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/cps/highlights-of-womens-earnings-in-2013.pdf	/r/MensRights	10/04/15 12:51 PM
5	Interesting post from Kathy Gyngell of Conservative Women in the UK. "Feminism robs men of their dignity, so men rob themselves of their lives" (The impact of feminism on male suicide rates) You are pretty detached from reality if you think higher alimony leads to fewer divorces xD	/r/MensRights	23/02/15 05:47 PM

17	Intel Announces $300 Million Tech Diversity Initiative I'm glad they are donating to Feminist Frequency. Sarkeesian can make at least 100 more videos with 300 million.	/r/MensRights	07/01/15 03:41 PM
3	So this is what the Feminists at my school are up to I'm not sure why you think that's so true Because you come off as rather braindead so I'm confident everything you say is garbage	/r/MensRights	04/12/14 07:25 PM
8	So this is what the Feminists at my school are up to women didn't necessarily expect/want to do most of childcare Actually, if the wage gap was real, then it would be monetarily foolish for the household to have the man spend time doing the chores. In reality it's just that women prefer to pair up with higher paid men.	/r/MensRights	04/12/14 06:37 PM
2	So this is what the Feminists at my school are up to Money goes to those who price correctly. The rest won't be left with any money to deal out. Granted market price and some folks' conception of "equality price" sometimes differ a little, say if you demand equal pay per hour but people working fewer hours need more office space allocated to achieve the same output.	/r/MensRights	04/12/14 06:03 PM
9	So this is what the Feminists at my school are up to I don't see why'd you bother write a wall of text when the simple fact is that the wage gap goes against basic economics. We shouldn't entertain a lie just because it has been repeated a billion times.	/r/MensRights	04/12/14 05:32 PM

2	A feminist I know wrote this, What are your thoughts? There is no reason to listen to whatever fairy stories feminists believe about history or all the bad brown people. There is only one key insight in feminism and it's that it's all intellectual garbage. It's pretty hilarious if she believes that the chief difference between say the US and India is culture, as opposed to one being the richest big country in the world and the other a severely underdeveloped ex-colony. BTW, feminism did not really take off until the 70's, by which time women alread…	/r/MensRights	28/11/14 12:15 PM
2	BBC gender bias and censorship Reminds me of this: https://mediacru.sh/574b4386f324 (see the picture on the bottom of the page), and that's just at 25. Mexico has one of the most skewed sex ratios in the world.	/r/MensRights	28/11/14 07:50 AM
1	HERE WE GO: Germany forces a 30% female quota upon boards of PRIVATELY owned companies These are also jobs where gender is entirely irrelevant when it comes to a person's ability to perform the job. False. For example, a Swedish study of 125000 companies found that companies run by women are less profitable than those run by men ( http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http://www.foretagarna.se/RegionForeningssidor/Malardalen/Opinion/Nyhetsarkiv/2014/Mars/Lagre-vinst-nar-kvinnor-ar-vd/&act=url ). In the tiny minority of very large companies…	/r/MensRights	27/11/14 05:54 PM
5	HERE WE GO: Germany forces a 30% female quota upon boards of PRIVATELY owned companies If women want "equal representation" on company boards then that is nothing but a childish power fantasy. Company board membership is an elitist concern, and the average citizen will gain nothing from this, but may lose something if the government ever actually enforces these unfair hiring practices. The corrupt don't prosper.	/r/MensRights	27/11/14 04:56 AM
3	HERE WE GO: Germany forces a 30% female quota upon boards of PRIVATELY owned companies The companies, being competently run, will simply ignore the legislation as much as possible. Additionally, with the quota being imposed on only publicly listed companies, many will become private. That's largely how it has went down in Norway (http://sciencenordic.com/gender-quota-boardrooms-come-high-price).	/r/MensRights	27/11/14 04:41 AM
9	The biggest gender gap (unweighted OECD's Better Life Index) in Sweden, USA and Mexico, Finland. Usually women have a better quality of life even in the poorer OECD countries. It's a really neat site. You get to make your own index by sliding the sliders around. Here's what I observed by looking at only one variable time Housing and income: Every country comes out exactly equal. Jobs: Every country except Ireland comes out in favor of men. It would be interesting to know what metric they used since I know (by some measure) women's employment surpassed men's in Finland a while ago. Community ("social support network"): Men are ahead in just 12 countries of 36, but ther…	/r/MensRights	21/11/14 10:35 AM
4	Swiss Gouvernement wants to raise the retirement age for women so that they are equal to men. Not everyone is happy. (Hope google translate is good enough) Even equal retirement age is unfair considering how men die many years younger on average, especially in many European countries where the government endeavors to pay more than a minimal pension. That makes for a huge net wealth transfer from men to women.	/r/MensRights	20/11/14 04:23 AM
2	I'm well aware of the point of the "gap"... Scientists agree: %50 of things tilt more to the left than to the right. I'd be surprised if eletheros has a discrepancy above a couple of percent. However, if you count conscription as work then you certainly end up with a bundle of countries where men are paid less per hour.	/r/MensRights	13/11/14 02:34 AM
6	I'm well aware of the point of the "gap"... There has long existed a gold standard to determing equal wages: ILO 100. Just about every country except the US is a signatory. It's not just about the job title, but the hours worked and the type of work (overtime/night shift/etc). For example, here in Finland (2013, Eurostat) men work on average 39 hours per week, while women work only 34.8 hours. 39/34.8 ~ 1.12, so naively you would expect men to be paid %12 more in aggregate, or in other words women to be paid %89 of what men are. And Finla…	/r/MensRights	13/11/14 02:20 AM

1	What's the male version of feminism? as men, we have held power for centuries that's why the struggle in legal equality for women took so much time That narrative is rather full of holes. If men had held all the power then how could have the "women's struggle" succeeded at all? Proper history tends to repeat itself - why are women's rights such an unique event?	/r/MensRights	09/11/14 01:17 AM
1	Book Review: The Suffragette Bombers; Britain's Forgotten Terrorists A useful thing is to look at countries other than the UK: a couple of backwaters had granted women and men the right to vote earlier, seemingly without much fanfare or gritting of teeth.	/r/MensRights	09/11/14 12:00 AM
1	What's the male version of feminism? I always groan when people talk about The "Original" Feminism, since what follows tends to always be feminist mythology. It's a shame the link on the book on suffragettes seems to be falling off the front page.	/r/MensRights	08/11/14 11:50 PM
2	For anyone seeking closure on the "10 Hours of Walking..."-debacle, this user perfectly describes how the original video downplays harassment and modern "feminists" have shot themselves in the foot with it. it becomes difficult to argue when the argument is "You're publicly denying it but secretly love it." Not really. Sexuality is very taboo across the board.	/r/MensRights	08/11/14 05:35 PM
1	For anyone seeking closure on the "10 Hours of Walking..."-debacle, this user perfectly describes how the original video downplays harassment and modern "feminists" have shot themselves in the foot with it. I thought this was simply a place for people to promote the male side of what "feminism" aims to do. It's not, or at least I hope we can do better than that. But I do agree this subreddit is very vapid at all times.	/r/MensRights	08/11/14 05:02 PM
2	For anyone seeking closure on the "10 Hours of Walking..."-debacle, this user perfectly describes how the original video downplays harassment and modern "feminists" have shot themselves in the foot with it. Well what that's really gauging is whether women will publicly admit they sometimes enjoy being catcalled. The fear of the teacher asking personal follow-up questions if you say yes is real.	/r/MensRights	08/11/14 04:56 PM
1	For anyone seeking closure on the "10 Hours of Walking..."-debacle, this user perfectly describes how the original video downplays harassment and modern "feminists" have shot themselves in the foot with it.

Victory :) I suspect Gawker is turning a neat profit right now from all the publicity they are getting. But they have certainly helped to lend a great deal of legitimacy to gamergate, with Intel, Adobe, BMW, Mercedez pulling ads over Gawker's ramblings.	/r/MensRights	22/10/14 10:56 PM
2	WTF - Utah State University receives massacre threat over Anita Sarkeesian talk!?! There is actually a pretty high chance the source of this threat will be found if the government decides to flex its antiterrorism muscles. Recently a kid who emailed in a fake bomb threat to dodge exams got caught despite having used tor. I don't know if it would be spam for everyone report this incident with the FBI online form.	/r/MensRights	15/10/14 02:51 PM

Take a look. psycho-path More like there are tons of exceptionally stupid people on the internet. If I was in her shoes, I wouldn't feel bad for them either.

1	Even Computer Science is going the way of favoring women Actually, I have seen nothing that shows it is not the men who are not considering whatever degrees the women are taking, not that I have tried to look very hard. I find it pretty disappointing how many articles represent the CS gender ratio as some mystery. I guess it is when they are unable to even dig up the basic fact of what the women are doing instead.	/r/MensRights	26/08/14 10:54 AM

0	Female students in Austria more likely to graduate from university, study finds. OP, you seem to assume men should graduate at the same rate. Yet there is little reason to think discrimination does not extend to the lower levels of education, after which you indeed would expect men to perform worse in universities. Nice links but downvoted for your rhetoric.	/r/MensRights	11/08/14 09:14 PM
2	No means no, Feminists. Indeed the term MRA itself has been popularized a lot by all the noise feminists make while they love to deride it, because the One True Equality movement must have femininity in its name.	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 03:23 PM
3	No means no, Feminists. It's not an argument, it's a quip. And it's not using equivocation, but the exact same principle of personal freedom. I'll grant you that it is a lame old joke, which has probably been seen here a thousand times already.	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 02:58 PM
1	A young man asks (Finnish only) Eva Biaudet, running for presidency, if she, as an activist, thinks it's right that the compulsory military service applies only to men. She thinks it's OK because women can do military service if they want to and only a few hundred per year does. Insane? Yes. In my books that would be an improvement, since at least it would make one joke of an institution less. All these equality agencies are staffed essentially by women only. I think the party line is that it's acceptable because there are no men with women's studies degrees.	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 12:52 PM

It would be great if someone did a background check of all the professors of pedagogy etc. I know here in Finland we have one Kristiina Brunila at the University of Helsinki who has not always watched her tongue.	/r/MensRights	01/07/14 07:08 PM

1	Economist: the government's one-in-five number doesn't add up -- using the government's own numbers It is the same with human trafficking statistics.

2	New ridiculous sex buy law in Finland This is more far-reaching than the OP says. The exact language of the link is "ihmiskaupan uhri tai parituksen kohde" which means "a victim of human trafficking or a target of pimping" (don't ask me what "target of pimping" means in practice). One should note that this is braindead from the perspective of getting customers to report their suspicions to the police. That politicians feel they can pass fluff laws like these just shows prostitution does not cause many problems in Finland.	/r/MensRights	29/04/14 10:56 AM

It is politically unviable to get funding for solving these problems, even when solutions should make a neat profit for the taxman, so it's probably for the best the little money that they do get goes directly where it matters.
