1	Professor uses feminist buzzwords to successfully publish entire pages of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in academic journals I'm not a social scientist, but it really depends. Some questions don't actually require controls, and in others it would be impossible or unethical to implement; but for what they were trying to accomplish, controls were absolutely required and they would've been easy to implement.	/r/MensRights	31/03/19 03:37 PM
1	Professor uses feminist buzzwords to successfully publish entire pages of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in academic journals This might be the same one you're thinking of - they first simply tried to publish borderline nonsense into the top journals, but IIRC 6 out of 6 got rejected. So they got clever and started trying to publish somewhat more nuanced, kinda-sorta plausible stuff and that's when things started getting accepted. I actually looked at all the journals they published in, and none (at a glance) appeared to be predatory publications (like the example you're thinking of).	/r/MensRights	31/03/19 03:35 PM
5	Professor uses feminist buzzwords to successfully publish entire pages of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in academic journals It's currently a big topic of discussion among the scientific community, and is a continuation of similar discussions that have been going on for years. It is worth noting though that the methodology used for this project was not particularly sound. Given that there are no controls, it's a subject of debate as to whether or not this is a problem limited to grievance studies or a science-wide problem. It's also worth noting that they are not the first group to stage a hoax like this to make a poi…	/r/MensRights	30/03/19 05:10 PM
9	Professor uses feminist buzzwords to successfully publish entire pages of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in academic journals It has since been retracted by the journal. If you're looking for an interesting take on the subject, check out /r/science 's thread on what they did. A lot less "yeah, gotem!" and a lot more about whether what they did was scientifically valid or will ultimately make a difference.	/r/MensRights	30/03/19 05:03 PM
6	The Right answer about Free Speech If someone wants to start a riot, for example, and all they do is whip a crowd into a frenzy but don't actually participate in the violence, are they just off the hook? They were literally the catalyst that turned the crowd into a mob, but somehow because they didn't do the bad thing themselves they're in the clear? Manipulation is a powerful tool, and people in power are especially good at utilizing it to do shady shit while technically keeping their hands clean. Sure, it might be difficult to …	/r/MensRights	22/03/19 11:01 PM
3	So, women now have literal privilege in the law. This is beyond crazy. Totaling a car costs your insurance company more than multiple fender benders. I don't know if what the above poster said is true, but assuming it is, it makes sense from a purely fiscal point of view.	/r/MensRights	11/10/18 10:12 PM
12	"Male privilege is foreskin advocacy groups. The fact that you think your circumcision is somehow on par with female genital mutilation is so gross." I don't know that that assumption is necessarily correct, but I don't know for sure. Assuming that's true though, stabbing wounds are still more likely to hemorrhage more severely than gunshot wounds on average. That's what I learned as an Army Medic anyway.	/r/MensRights	29/08/18 05:24 PM
2	Something I made after seeing the article about seats where only women are allowed to sit there. Look man, maybe I am being more of an asshole than I need to be, but while you may not often have to think about issues in India, I think about them a lot; and I hear people every day spouting some blatantly absurd and ignorant shit. I get that you were just repeating what you took to be truthful from somewhere else, so sorry for being a dick about that. The situation in India isn't as cut and dry as that. For starters, there isn't this pervasive "assertive, self-reliant cowboy" attitude like we…	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 04:01 AM
1	Something I made after seeing the article about seats where only women are allowed to sit there. I wrote about how the government should get more involved and the police should be more active, other things... Totally, but none of those things will result in immediate improvements. They take some time to become effective, and in the mean time, short-term, inexpensive things can be done to help women get through their day in peace. ...but you ignore that... Nah dawg, remember when I said in the first comment I made that, "I'm not saying they shouldn't keep working on it?" That was me acknowle…	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 03:28 AM
1	Something I made after seeing the article about seats where only women are allowed to sit there. So it was in an entirely different thread with different people commenting and you made the statement: "We've already established that it's guys with knives threatening women that's the problem in India." I think it's pretty fair to criticize that statement, my dude. Not only was it not a part of the conversation we were having, but even in that thread it was not "established" that that was the problem. Even with context, the shit you said was objectively, factually wrong.	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 02:52 AM
-1	Something I made after seeing the article about seats where only women are allowed to sit there. Ohh, I see what you're saying now. These women in India can just turn around and confront the guy. Call the police and Bam no more groping pervs. Well shit, problem solved my dude, I'll tell my wife to tell all her friends. You may have just singlehandedly saved all the women of India. Do you really thing that hasn't been tried? For starters, it's often impossible to even know who grabbed you in a crowded bus, and contrary to what you seem to believe, women aren't falsely accusing random strange…	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 02:38 AM

No, no we haven't. I just looked at the context for this entire thread chain and nowhere does anyone other than you talk about dudes with knives. The idea that this is the primary method of sexual assault for dudes in India is frankly so goddamn stupid that it almost isn't worth responding to. But I will anyway: See, my wife is Indian, she spent the first 20-something years of her life in India, a…	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 02:09 AM
-1	Something I made after seeing the article about seats where only women are allowed to sit there. There is a lot they can do, but very few of them can result in near-immediate improvement in the lives of the women riding the bus, and it costs basically nothing to do. I'm not spreading lies, what I put up there is called an opinion, and given that my wife is Indian, and many in our friend circle are Indian women, I'd argue that mine is probably better informed than yours. Also, this has literally nothing to do with Western women. It's about a city in India, and if you try to look at Eastern c…	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 01:48 AM
-2	Something I made after seeing the article about seats where only women are allowed to sit there. Honestly, governments in general usually do not or cannot accurately account for crimes that are self-reported. Remember, men in the US are frequently sexually assaulted, but only very recently have these reporting agencies shown just how common it is. We saw reports in the media before our government recognized it as a problem.	/r/MensRights	09/03/18 07:52 PM
0	Something I made after seeing the article about seats where only women are allowed to sit there. That's not the topic of conversation though. If anything, since we can't determine whether a groping is intentional or not and persecute those who are guilty, it makes segregation in public transportation a more attractive proposition in India.	/r/MensRights	09/03/18 07:47 PM
-1	Something I made after seeing the article about seats where only women are allowed to sit there. That's much easier said than done, and there's very little an individual or city can do in the short term to change a problem that has developed over centuries. I'm not saying they shouldn't keep working on it, but in the mean time, this helps women who are groped daily in public transportation from having to deal with that bullshit for at least part of their commute.	/r/MensRights	09/03/18 07:42 PM
4	Something I made after seeing the article about seats where only women are allowed to sit there. This isn't in the west though, it's in Bangalore.

61	Studies Show Lesbians Much More Likely to Beat, Sexually Abuse Women Than Heterosexual Men This is a meta-analysis, meaning it pooled and analyzed data from many different primary sources, 111 for this particular analysis. Due to the nature of the topic being studied, many of the primary sources would likely be self-reported, either by the victims or perpetrators.	/r/MensRights	20/08/17 11:09 PM

1	Sign in a shared restroom in Cleveland Define dirty. Do you mean number of bacteria, or probability of an infectious dose being present on a surface? Because if it's the former, then yes your phone is covered in bacteria, that's common knowledge, but most are non-pathogenic. In a bathroom that was recently visited by a sick person, the toilet may still have fewer microbes per square inch overall, but the probability of being exposed to an infectious dose of some fecal microbes are very high.	/r/MensRights	26/04/17 06:11 PM

For most E. coli strains, 10<sup>6</sup> or 10<sup>7</sup> is the ID<sup>50,</sup> true, but for O157H7 it's estimated that only 10<sup>3</sup> or so is required for infection, same with some salmonella strains if not less.

For some diseases like the norovirus, 5% is more than enough to cause illness, so it doesn't matter either way.

It was the authorities that charged him, not her pressing charges. For fucks sake, you can advocate for men's rights without acting like the "mysogynistic male" stereotype that causes this movement so much grief. She shouldn't be charged for something that a consenting adult could do legally and neither should he.	/r/MensRights	19/01/17 06:40 PM

Army-wide the physical standards for women are lower than men due to anatomical differences (for example, the push up standards are lower due to less developed upper body muscles, but the sit up standards are the same). It wasn't really a surprise to anyone who knows this that their run times were longer. It wasn't special treatment any more than it's ever been in the military.	/r/MensRights	30/12/16 07:54 PM

I'd like to see the cost/benefit analysis you did to determine that. And honestly, if you view it that way, there's very few things in life that you're not at risk of being screwed over for doing. Any time you interact with a child you're at risk of being accused a pedophile. Every time you interact with a woman you're at risk of being called a rapist or pervert. Better avoid those at all costs. We're talking about saving a fucking life. The benefit, while not received by you, is much bigger tha…	/r/MensRights	22/12/16 03:03 PM
1	Girl angry she cant get into Disney restaurant threatens man with sexual harassment charges because she did not make reservations. Fortunately in the years since the lawsuit I referenced, new research strongly suggests that the old assumption "moving a suspected back injury will cripple them for life" is not true in the vast majority of cases. In fact, something like less than 2% of actual spinal cord injuries are worsened by reasonable amounts of movement in a rescue situation. On top of that, only a small percentage of suspected spinal cord injuries turn out to be actual injuries. So you're looking at maybe a 1 in 200 cha…	/r/MensRights	22/12/16 05:08 AM
4	Girl angry she cant get into Disney restaurant threatens man with sexual harassment charges because she did not make reservations. It's a sign of the times we now live in. You're fooling yourself if you think that it hasn't always been that way. If anything, it's been much better than it has in the last 100 years. Racial tensions have recently flared up, but nothing like even 30 years ago, political tensions are high here, but not dangerously so (yet anyway), crime is on a consistent decline... Gender tensions are higher than they've been since maybe suffrage, but it's still a minority of women who are radical feminists.	/r/MensRights	22/12/16 04:18 AM

California recently ruled that their good samaritan law extends only to "medical care" (The Cali Supreme Court shit the fucking bed so goddamn bad on that ruling it's ridiculous, but that's besides the point), but so long as what you do is "reasonable" for the situation then you're probably alright.

1	Please Stop Saying That Teacher "Had Sex With" Her Student - It's not sex, or an affair, or a scandal. It's rape. Marijuana was never mentioned in this comment or the comment he replied to.

FWIW there's still a big difference in reasoning ability between a 17 year old and a 30 year old. Hell, there's a noticeable difference between a 14 and 17 year old's reasoning ability. You can argue that there isn't or that it's minimal, but you'd be patently wrong. Ask literally any developmental psychologist.

1	Sexual harassment help done right. No mention of gender. Treatment is available to everyone. The US military, at least at the higher levels, has been making good strides in this direction. Unfortunately at the unit level, it's a big mixed bag. Unit leaders (not exclusively, but in my experience it's usually the NCOs) often still hold to their outdated or biased opinions, and it is sometimes difficult for even women to get the help they need. A male victim of rape is often looked down on and considered weak or whatever by both his peers and leadership. Still a ways to go before the avera…	/r/MensRights	30/03/16 06:26 PM

I'm pretty sure the EO programs between the two are very similar if not the same, so I've probably seen/experienced most of that crap. I will say though that in my 7 years, I never saw a sexual harassment/assault investigation that appeared to be false.

7	This is a very common poster on all US Navy bases and ships. Funny I've never seen a poster with 100% on it. I'm gonna be honest, I didn't get that at all. I think it's to encourage reenlistment among females because they are in the minority and the Navy wants to equal out the ranks. I don't see an issue in that at all. The more I look at it, the more confused I become as to why you're offended, and why this belongs here at all. There are plenty of legitimate things to take issue with, legitimate examples of inequality or sexism; so I don't know why you'd choose to make a point about this.

As much as I want to support men's issues advocacy, I find a sizeable number of men who seem to fall into the same trap radical feminists do: a hyper simplistic us vs them worldview that further polarizes the issues.	/r/MensRights	24/03/15 10:20 PM
1	Thunderf0ot and men lynching. Focusing on a particular issue or the concerns of a group of people does not imply that other related issues are not relevant/important. It's folly to expect someone who has an interest in a particular subject to become equally as active in all related subjects for fear of belittling another. If I'm interested in testicular cancer research because it has personally affected me, it would be pretty fucked up for someone to say, "Well other cancers exist too.

Context is important here, amongst people of the same SES, race and gender play a significant role.

I would agree, majority privilege is probably more appropriate, but in the US whites are the majority, and males do make up the majority of politicians, business owners, and other positions of power.

1	Real talk? The unidirectional definition of racism you put forth has some problems. Due to the heterogeneity of the US and the world (if you're not from the US then I apologize, but my criticisms apply elsewhere), power isn't always unidirectional, and isn't equally concentrated among all areas. Furthermore, other stratifying forces (chiefly socioeconomic status) can have a much greater influence on power structure than race or gender in certain areas.

1	"He Can Do It" - A great picture I ran across earlier this year for Father's Day. You're creating a false dilemma: MRM vs Feminism, which is exactly what I hate about radical feminists. It is possible to be aware of inequalities faced by both sexes and advocate for the correction of such issues, and it is also possible to be critical of a movement without being against it. I have feminist friends, friends that I sometimes disagree with, but also highly respect. Your attitude is childish and counterintuitive to what the MRM is trying to do.	/r/MensRights	17/06/13 02:23 AM
