3	Baby boys are welcomed into the world a little differently in America. One of those "obvious when you think about it" things, but having never had experience with it...	/r/MensRights	14/07/19 08:15 PM
4	Baby boys are welcomed into the world a little differently in America. Yeah, didn't realize this was about circumcision. We didn't do that; had no idea there was a restraining mat involved...	/r/MensRights	14/07/19 02:14 PM
30	Baby boys are welcomed into the world a little differently in America. That's not at all how my baby boy was treated...	/r/MensRights	14/07/19 05:10 AM
15	Cool - and then next march we'll do it the other way around... You have to work all the dangerous jobs, you have to be the majority of the homeless, you have to be the majority of suicides, you have to act tough 24/7 and never get a break..... Yeah.. men have it so easy.. Why are we wanking into women's shoes?	/r/MensRights	12/07/19 03:11 PM
1	How is this even remotely fair? my mistake, mate. Cheers.	/r/MensRights	02/07/19 04:40 PM
1	Woman hits man in public and no one bats an eye I don't recommend retaliation: 1) if we're taking the high road (ie "physical assault is wrong, regardless of gender") it does reduce credibility, and that Western culture doesn't acknowledge women aggressors in the first place, is a problem. 2) the man is going to get pummeled by any bystanders that witness the retaliation (see again: Western cultural sensibilities) and likely arrested, as well.	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 11:28 PM
1	Woman hits man in public and no one bats an eye Nah, If he retaliated those guys in the back would have jumped him in a heart beat. The only safe exit strategy for him is an actual exit.	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 11:02 PM
4	Woman hits man in public and no one bats an eye Not "probably" - https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5928316 Finally found the video I was looking for. Paid actors, male and female, playing out a public display of DV. When it's the guy abusing the girl, he gets taken down by multiple bystanders in multiple settings. When the girl is aggressing, the only public reactions are (sometimes embarrassed) laughter; one guy even pitches in and slaps the male actor himself. This is a social visibility problem that must be dealt with.	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 10:59 PM
6	Woman hits man in public and no one bats an eye While you're "not wrong", this comment smacks of "victim blaming": yes, anyone who is physically assaulted should stand up for themselves, but we're dealing with somebody raised in a culture that doesn't recognize the severity of violence by women towards men, and that culture is not an easy thing to shake. I was raised in the "men don't hit women, ever" ideology, and I got a lot of flakk for saying "I don't care what gender you are, if you hit me I'm hitting you back". I'm lucky to have never h…	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 10:46 PM
8	Woman hits man in public and no one bats an eye If he was the one hitting her she'd be yelling And justifiably so; unfortunately, Western culture (at least, I'm not familiar enough with other cultures to say) doesn't recognize violence perpetrated by women towards men. Violence shouldn't be acceptable in any scenario not directly related to the defense of life, liberty, or property.	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 10:36 PM
3	Woman hits man in public and no one bats an eye Yeah, this is the kind of thing that I joined for: I can't imagine a single thing that guy could have said that justifies being physically assaulted, and that no one in the video reacted is a sad indictment of (Western, presumably American) cultural norms. Violence should not be Socially acceptable, regardless of the gender of aggressor and victim.	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 10:28 PM
1	How is this even remotely fair? Accidentally decapitating the newborn is a honest mistake and she isn't the only one to have done it many cases before her Holy shit WHAT?!? I mean, I can see how it might happen (someone else said the baby was breach and mother wasn't dilating, which sounds reasonable), but you're making this sound like a not uncommon thing and I'm having a hard time coming to terms with that... Then again, this is the first I've heard of baby decapitation...	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 10:16 PM
1	How is this even remotely fair? I'd say there's a difference between a law that says "if an adult is deemed to be transgendered, the State will issue a revised birth certificate reflecting the adult's gender identification" (which is what the text you cited seems to say) and "doctors aren't allowed to say that a new born is a particular physiological gender at birth" (which is what the headline appears to insinuate). YMMV, of course.	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 10:08 PM
5	How is this even remotely fair? Even if it were, though, they're entirely different questions: one is "did this doctor follow procedure" while the other is a question of ideology. Without the text of both articles, there's no way to determine (and no reason to suppose) if the gender of the Dr had any influence in either decision.	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 10:03 PM
1	How is this even remotely fair? Devil's Advocate (don't shoot the messenger): in the lady-doctors case, this is a medical malpractice suit/investigation, so withoutA link to the article we have to assume the investigation found no evidence of "wrong doing" in the medical sense (though how TF you screw up a delivery so bad the baby is fucking decapitated I hope I will never know). The dude-doctor, though, is a question of policy, ideology, and ethics: again, without a link I have to assume the Dr is refusing to acknowledge the …	/r/MensRights	01/07/19 09:58 PM
2	Getting help saves lives Hey, if you're enjoying life then carry on, my friend!	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 11:27 PM
1	I'm done with TV Yeah, I get it, I just had to be overly pedantic for a sec to get it out of my head. Cheers.	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 11:25 PM
3	If you look up “Womenare” on Instagram and go to tags it says “Women are strong” “Women are superior” and all kinds of stuff and if you search up “menare” this is what comes up it’s absolutely disgusting. "menards" is my favorite.	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 05:37 AM
3	I'm done with TV not to nitpick, but "Latino" isn't "somehow 'male'" - as Spanish is a language that employs masculine and feminine lexical genders , "Latin-o" is absolutely "male", with "Latin-a" being female. Calling a Hispanic female "Latino" would be rather rude, I should think, and I'm certain the average Hispanic male wouldn't respond well to being called "Latina".	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 05:34 AM
2	Getting help saves lives keep trying, man. like I posted in another comment above, shrinks and therapists are just people; you gotta find one you can connect with, and that's not easy.	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 04:18 AM
2	Getting help saves lives I hit a real low swing for a while, and it was actually my roommate who made the call to the Dr's office, got me the appointment, drove me there, made sure we picked up the meds on the way home, etc. Start by telling a friend you need help, but you don't know how to get it. Sometimes it doesn't even need to be a particularly close friend, just someone that you trust to keep their mouth shut and listen for a minute.	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 04:15 AM
2	Getting help saves lives I don't even know how to express emotion let alone talk about it to someone That's pretty much The Problem, isn't it? Extreme Stoicism as the Ultimate Male Virtue - we've been actively conditioned to suppress any feeling that "isn't manly", which basically leaves us with humor and anger.	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 04:08 AM
2	Getting help saves lives My wife is the rock that anchors me in this world - she's stood by me at my strongest and at my most pathetic, and she has continued to love me and support me through the darkest moments of my life. And to here her tell it, I've done the same for her. I trust her implicitly, and I can't imagine being able to spend my life with her if I didn't. I wish you the best of luck, brother.	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 03:48 AM
2	Getting help saves lives probably easier for me because I'm a girl. More easily processed by society at large, at least. I'm finally on an upswing after a long, slow slide, but at ~6'3 & 300lbs, people freak out when they catch me crying quietly by myself, even family. I'm glad you're getting what you need, though, lady.	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 03:29 AM
1	Getting help saves lives i tried a therapist before, and found no effect positive or negative( Try another one. Therapy isn't magic, and therapists aren't wizards, they're just people with a specifically trained skill set: a few of them graduated at the top of their class, a few at the very bottom, and the rest somewhere in the middle. Just like an MD, a DDS, a lawyer, or a mechanic, you've gotta find a good one, it's just that "good" in this case refers more to "can I talk to this person about uncomfortable/painful fee…	/r/MensRights	27/06/19 03:21 AM
1	Sponsor dumps streamer after she insults and discriminates the entire male gender. Apparently it was a Twitter thread. https://kotaku.com/razer-brazil-cuts-ties-with-influencer-after-her-tweets-1835850900	/r/MensRights	26/06/19 02:12 AM
