No, I didn't bother to address your bullshit, specious nonsense. I have to source the obvious suggestion that your statistic has inherent bias and may not be a representative statistic?

| 0 | Women shouldn't have to fight back for it to be rape, freezing is a normal response; male victims matter less, because men can fight back.No, you just can't accept evidence that doesn't support your preconceived conclusions. You are invested in the nonsensical idea that it is victim blaming to empower women with real facts about rape, and when confronted with the overwhelming evidence that self-defense is an effective deterrent, you flail in a pathetic attempt to deflect reality. This is because, at the end of the day, you want women to get raped. So, yeah, no, don't address my argument about the bias of the statistic you presente… | /r/MensRights | 24/06/14 10:25 PM |

The 80% (or 81%, whatever) statistic is highly biased. Women who resist are likely women who have assessed their risk of resisting as relatively low (they believe they stand a chance). Women up against much stronger men just aren't going to resist if they're rational actors behaving in their own self-interest.

Patriarchy refuted. Makes as much sense as you. Not necessarily. Male privilege certainly exists. But racism (white privilege) is certainly much stronger, presently.

Not much to respond to here, because (again...yawn) you're not responding to what I'm saying but to what you want to believe I'm saying in the interest of having an easier target. So, by all means, argue with your straw man. You look like you're enjoying yourself. All women have a right to use their fists to defend themselves.

| 0 | Women shouldn't have to fight back for it to be rape, freezing is a normal response; male victims matter less, because men can fight back.There definitely is a double-standard there. However, the fact that men are frequently stronger than women and that many women will not fight back because of a perception of futility (that may or may not be valid) is not trivial to the discussion. Again, I am not making the argument that the double-standard is valid - it is not. Men who put up little resistance to rape can still be victims, certainly.

That I argue that it is not right to do something does not imply that it is instead wrong. Jesus Christ, this is not a very complex issue. I argue that there is no right or wrong way to respond to a rape, because one is going to do what they feel is in their best interest at the moment and that they likely did the best they could with the resources they had at the moment, so it is pointless to speculate.

| -2 | My mother has been a feminist for almost 30 years and I just told her I support the MRAUnfortunately, you are mistaken. It is easy to think of white mothers versus white fathers (in which case the women frequently win custody cases, and we can argue whether the majority of the rulings are fair or not), or white mothers versus fathers of color. But when we introduce women of color into the equation, especially against white fathers, we find that such privilege shrinks very quickly. | /r/MensRights | 24/06/14 02:30 AM |

I concede that there are definite potential benefits to resisting rape violently, but there are also very many potential drawbacks (including but not limited to risk on one's own life), even when armed with guns or pepper spray. And, no, not even when there is overwhelming legal precedence in support of self-defense. There really is no right or wrong way to respond to rape, truthfully.

I can list off dozens of things feminists have demanded while preventing men from getting them. I can think of a handful of issues (equal rights in custody is a big one), but that's not the point, because MRAs indeed support a lot of legitimate men's concerns that we as a society need to pay more attention to.

It's simply the pragmatic, intelligent thing to do.

Of the situations in which rape is physically pleasurable (a paucity of them exist), it is emotionally scarring. Because, you know, it's rape.

When prison rape statistics are considered in general male rape stats, men are actually raped more frequently than women.

| -1 | Feminist here...I need help./r/Feminism doesn't ban posters who have /r/mensrights posts in their history, they ban posters who stir the pot who have /r/mensrights posts in their history.

| -4 | Only men were killed: At the Breeze View Hotel, the gunmen pulled the men aside and ordered the women to watch as they killed them.Of course men's issues shouldn't be disregarded because "patriarchy". If anything, men's issues should be paid attention to because "patriarchy". But it is important for men to recognize that the "patriarchy", although a rather inelegant term, is a real thing that hurts men as well as women and that they should make the effort to combat it as well as women. Many MRAs fail to recognize that, instead of insisting that because they themselves do not recognize their power that they must be powerless… | /r/MensRights | 17/06/14 12:19 AM |

| -7 | Only men were killed: At the Breeze View Hotel, the gunmen pulled the men aside and ordered the women to watch as they killed them.You jest, but it is likely sexist or "patriarchal" attitudes that contributed to the deaths of the men (which are by no means deserved). Men are frequently treated with greater violence because they are believed to either be deserving of it (wrongly) or because they "can take it". Women are seen as fragile, and a commodity besides. It makes perfect sense that they would kill the men and "spare" (I say this ironically, of course) the women, when the women are perceived as less of a threat. | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 11:57 PM |

Yikes. You might wanna stay inside from now on. I'm simply trying to illustrate that I am sorrowful that calling you out on your bullshit makes you feel wounded and hurt. I pity the kind of person who cannot handle that -- I do not intend to beat you with my words, however. I'm sorry if I've made you feel that way, 123vasectomy.

| -1 | Feminist here...I need help.No, no, you've got it wrong, though. I didn't come here to confirm any sort of bias. I've been involved with (although not in agreement with, for the most part) men's rights circles for half a decade as well as feminist circles, and have no biases to "confirm". However, it is undeniable that r/mensrights has patent biases that it needs to deal with, and therein is my point. I'll also point out that while I'm not a "femmetroll", I am intrigued that you're still here even though you said you were … | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 10:38 PM |
| -2 | Feminist here...I need help.If a refusal to take you at your word makes you feel unsafe, by all means stay away from any and all objective circles in favor or places where people will accept whatever you say as fact "just because".

| -24 | A woman smashed my head with her high heels while I was on the ground, nobody helped, doctors laughed at my face.You know, usually I hear MRAs argue that the patriarchy doesn't exist in the first world, where most armchair feminists exist, which is one thing (something I still disagree with, but at least that's an argument I'm used to dealing with). But to outright deny it completely is kind of novel to me. Read a little bit about the milieu in India, China, Nigeria, or Saudia Arabia and get back to me. Femicide is real.

The bottom line is, 123vasectomy, that if you approached r/Feminism with a curious, humble and respectful stance rather than one in which you're constantly calling into question whether someone is being sarcastic or a troll, you'd probably have done a whole lot better on the subreddit.

Like the term or not (and I certainly do not like the term - I think it's entirely too focused on men and the wrongs they commit), what is known as "patriarchy" does hurt men and women alike. | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 09:37 PM |

For example, here: http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/28b17f/a_woman_smashed_my_head_with_her_high_heels_while/ci97npr?context=3 What you don't understand is that r/Feminism is pretty open-minded when it comes to dissent, but it doesn't tolerate people that harass other people.

| -3 | Feminist here...I need help.Sorry, that's just patently untrue and a gross misrepresentation. Of the anecdotal evidence I've seen of people who have been banned from r/feminism for "asking a question", they have done so in a sarcastic, inflammatory, antagonistic, or otherwise hostile manner. Given that fora like r/feminism are intended to be safe spaces for women (and men, as a matter of fact), it is completely understandable that such communities would have no tolerance for that. | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 09:13 PM |
| -2 | Feminist here...I need help.I'd love to see your (if not deleted) comments that got you banned. I'd be interested in seeing whether or not they purely espouse a different opinion or if they are inflammatory and antagonistic in nature. That shit just isn't going to fly in a space that is intended to be "safe for women", so if you thought you can be crass and jerkwaddy in such a sphere, you were clearly quite wrong. But correct me if mistaken. | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 09:11 PM |
| -2 | I saw this encouraging poster in the Indianapolis VA Hospital today.While the people upvoting this are unlikely to recognize that the "silence" around men's health is by and large a result of (for lack of a more elegant and less loaded word) patriarchal attitudes, this poster can only be a good thing. I wholeheartedly support greater awareness of and attention to men's health, although not at the expense of women's (which this poster does not at all suggest). | /r/MensRights | 16/06/14 09:09 PM |

But do men rape more than women? Hell yes. Not victim-blaming. There. | /r/MensRights | 30/04/14 04:13 AM |
| 0 | Hanna Rosin - Male rape in America: A new study reveals that men are sexually assaulted almost as often as women.Feminists generally believe that women cannot rape men. Lol. I know you said that with a straight face. I know you did. Props to you. Again, not a troll account, but I am increasingly amused at the lengths you have gone to delude yourself. You even claim that I'm victim-blaming, but can't seem to point out where. Please insert 25 cents and demonstrate where the article implies that the author thinks women can't rape men to continue. | /r/MensRights | 30/04/14 02:38 AM |
| 1 | Hanna Rosin - Male rape in America: A new study reveals that men are sexually assaulted almost as often as women.Ok, you're strawmanning hardcore here. No sensible person argues that male rape is somehow "impossible". The laws of physics somehow prevent it, I suppose? You're being intentionally disingenuous by claiming that people argue that. Male rape, is, however, consistently demonstrated to be, if not less prevalent than female rape, at least way way more frequently perpetrated by males. In any case, the definition "to penetrate or make to penetrate" is the fairest definition of rape yet. | /r/MensRights | 29/04/14 10:47 PM |

Your use of caps lock is a little unwarranted and frankly renders your argument all the more unreliable, so sit down, have a cup of tea and relax. Focusing on the act of penetration means that if a person penetrates or forces another to penetrate them (or coerces, because it clearly states that the 2012 FBI definition does not specify force), that person has committed rape. This metric does not discriminate against men. You will need to furnish evidence that… | /r/MensRights | 29/04/14 10:19 PM |
| 2 | Hanna Rosin - Male rape in America: A new study reveals that men are sexually assaulted almost as often as women.Ok, I think there's some confusion here. To be fair, there really isn't a clear explanation for whether "penetration-based" discriminates against men or not. It is evident, however, that that 2012 revised FBI definition does not discriminate against male victims, and they are valid victims even if they are the technical "penetrator". If you think she's anything but sympathetic to the idea that male rape is under-reported and under-estimated by limited guidelines, your reading comprehension needs… | /r/MensRights | 29/04/14 09:18 PM |
| 4 | Hanna Rosin - Male rape in America: A new study reveals that men are sexually assaulted almost as often as women."Eventually localities began to rebel against that limited gender bound definition; in 2010 Chicago reported 86,767 cases of rape but used its own broader definition, so the FBI left out the Chicago stats. Finally, in 2012, the FBI revised its definition and focused on penetration, with no mention of female (or force)." She very clearly describes the definition of rape by penetration as limited and implies it is backward. Pay more attention next time. | /r/MensRights | 29/04/14 09:08 PM |
