1	What men do when nobody is watching, courtesy of Amnesty International No, I am not ethnocentric. Actually, I am a member of an ethnic minority myself. Also, my education is in Equity Studies and I am deeply invested in ending those kinds of attitudes in my daily life and work. Because Men's Rights members argue that sexism in North America no longer exists (which I don't agree with anyway) I was trying to point out that in other places in the world, women are suffering. I don't think that violence and sexism is the norm in other cultures, I was just saying that it…	/r/MensRights	15/01/11 11:25 PM
-1	What men do when nobody is watching, courtesy of Amnesty International "No. Reality is that there are more men in overt positions of power for women. That does not mean that the average man has more power then the average woman." That is true, but overall, being a man is an advantage in the world and is one way a person may be privileged. "For starters, men in positions of power at least in the west have had a long history of using that power to benefit women over men." This is just bullshit. Men have placed other men into positions of power and this has mostly jus…	/r/MensRights	14/01/11 04:05 AM
-2	What men do when nobody is watching, courtesy of Amnesty International I don't agree with that statement. Bringing awareness about an issue like domestic violence is important and in a lot of cultures, it is still the norm.	/r/MensRights	14/01/11 01:10 AM
-1	What men do when nobody is watching, courtesy of Amnesty International That's fine to speak from personal experience. I am sorry to hear you have family who have suffered. I also have family that have suffered from abuse (male and female). I simply wanted to point out that there is a power differential in the world, no matter how you frame it. Men have more power than women, and organizations exist that reach out to help the vulnerable group. I definitely agree however, that there is a serious lack of resources to help abused men. I work in the Canadian shelter sys…	/r/MensRights	14/01/11 12:51 AM
0	What men do when nobody is watching, courtesy of Amnesty International Women probably turn to weapons out of desperation. Where are you getting your stats from?	/r/MensRights	14/01/11 12:02 AM
-3	What men do when nobody is watching, courtesy of Amnesty International Agreed. However, the number of women who hit men in the back of the head with a bottle, versus the number of women who get punched in the face with a fist are vastly different.	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 06:34 AM
-2	What men do when nobody is watching, courtesy of Amnesty International Yes, there is a lot of silence surrounding child abuse as well, however it isn't quite the same as woman abuse. The silence surrounding violence against women is due to the fact that this is a man's world and there is a lot of protection for male abusers and guilt, punishment, and fear for women who speak out.	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 06:33 AM
0	What men do when nobody is watching, courtesy of Amnesty International The poster is trying to bring about awareness. Domestic abuse is a problem still, despite women gaining rights over time. There is a lot of silence surrounding domestic violence. You really can't ignore the fact that a power differential exists between men and women in a variety of arenas. For instance, generally men are stronger than women. Their bodies are built differently, giving them a physical advantage. I don't disagree that men too experience abuse, but there is no argument that the numb…	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 01:40 AM
