1	What Will We Concede To Feminism? Although I grew up reading about Arthur and his knights, that particular fairy tale wasn't popular among my childhood friends. (I borrowed it from my brother.) Not to mention that there is only one strong female character out of a host of male ones. I've never heard of the snow queen. I clearly refer to the dwarfs as males; and despite their lack of machismo, they are clearly depicted as males. It is of no consequence how the Brothers Grimm originally wrote little red riding hood (although, if y…	/r/MensRights	24/07/13 02:53 PM
1	What Will We Concede To Feminism? I appreciate that men might perceive feminist ideologies as vilifying men for not being women; for all I know that may be the intent. However, I continue to stand by my earlier statements: women have long felt vulnerable at night, whether or not this fear is supported by statistical evidence. While there are likely numerous culprits for this fear, I don't really think feminism is at the forefront, if they're in the running at all. Consider virtually any fairy tale involving a woman and you will …	/r/MensRights	24/07/13 01:38 PM
1	What Will We Concede To Feminism? I'd like to think that women are able to look at facts and make logical decisions as to behaviour, dress, environment, etc. without someone lying to them and / or feeding their emotional side. Perhaps this is why, despite being very much in favour of women receiving fair treatment, I've never felt the need to join a feminist group	/r/MensRights	04/07/13 02:39 AM
3	What Will We Concede To Feminism? One in three women are abused somehow? I'd say half or more of all people experience some type of abuse in their life although the degree of abuse and the degree to which said abuse affects the abused will certainly vary. If this is truly their reason for 'take back the night' I guess I'm at a loss as to how marching down the streets at night reduces abuse at home, school or work.	/r/MensRights	04/07/13 01:52 AM
2	What Will We Concede To Feminism? Ill straight up admit that I know nothing about 'rape culture'. However, 'take back the night' is about empowering women, not frightening them (or so I would suppose - I haven't taken part of such an event). Can you elaborate?	/r/MensRights	04/07/13 12:52 AM
2	What Will We Concede To Feminism? Well I think it's important to study women's issues, the same way we study racism or class disparity etc. We need to review what has happened and what is currently happening to ensure we're not turning a blind eye to inequality. However, I think we agree that such studies should not be the main focus of study (unless one plans to be a lawyer fighting for a cause or a lobbyist etc.) and that other areas of study would contribute more to an equal future. I see no reason why women's centres should …	/r/MensRights	04/07/13 12:24 AM
3	What Will We Concede To Feminism? I'm unfamiliar with the statistics you're referring to. I agree that 1 in 4 sounds way too high. And if there is no truth behind the statistic (as it sounds by your post) it is unconscionable to attempt to frighten women with lies. I think you're citing two different surveys (you mention the 80s and 2012), am I right? How exactly does frightening women contribute to the feminist movement? I don't believe that this statistic is the reason women feel frightened to be alone at night. All it takes (…	/r/MensRights	03/07/13 10:37 PM
2	What Will We Concede To Feminism? Well I think we can agree on that.	/r/MensRights	03/07/13 10:16 PM
1	What Will We Concede To Feminism? 50% of men are below average... So too would the strength of attackers vary. You posit that attackers would be of above-average strength, but I don't think there is anything to support this. Nevertheless, even if your scenario is correct, that still leaves 50% of men at even or better odds. How many women have equal or greater strength to the average attacker (who in your scenario is at the upper level of strength)? Virtually no woman would meet that criteria; any that did would likely not be th…	/r/MensRights	03/07/13 06:59 PM
2	What Will We Concede To Feminism? I'm responding on my iPhone so this might be a little disjointed. I live in Toronto, so it's rather unlikely for anyone hiding to be holding any sort of weapon. It exists, but it's not common. I didn't realize you were referring to rape. I honestly thought we were simply discussing violence. Although I hear a lot on reddit about buyer's remorse sex - come - rape, I really don't think this makes up the majority of rape claims. Do statistics exist on this topic? In no way did I mean to imply that …	/r/MensRights	03/07/13 06:01 PM
10	What Will We Concede To Feminism? Well, while I appreciate your attempt to avoid triggering me, your explanation hasn't illuminated the issue for me. Are you saying that women who adhere to feminist ideologies are left feeling unsafe at night? From a woman's perspective: while men may get assaulted as frequently as women (I have no idea), women are very aware of how physically dominant most men are vis a vis most women. So the physical intimidation you might feel when standing beside a Schwarzenegger look-alike is experienced by…	/r/MensRights	03/07/13 04:30 PM
11	"What Will We Concede To Feminism": UPDATE This is what I think of when someone accuses any group of moving the goalposts. Baby steps, people. Once certain goals have been met, we attempt to correct further wrongs. As (what is probably a terrible) example, if white on black slavery was abolished in the US, and the movement stopped there, would that be enough? Hell no. The right to own land. The right to vote. The right to an education. Desegregated schools, transportation, washrooms. The goalposts had to keep moving because the wrongs ha…	/r/MensRights	03/07/13 04:12 PM
9	What Will We Concede To Feminism? As someone not involved in rights movements, I'm unfamiliar with the common arguments made, and therefore don't understand your comment about feminism being the root of women's fear of being out alone at night. Can you explain? Full disclosure: I am a woman. I have personally been the victim of gender -based / -biased issues; however, in my experience the perpetrators are just as likely to be women as men. I'm terrified of being out alone at night in my relatively low-crime city. However, I suff…	/r/MensRights	03/07/13 03:47 PM
