| 2 | www.Jezebel.com: "Why shameless objectification can be a good thing." - but only when it happens to men (because we don't mind).I agree with you, I think. I was just pointing out a very black-and-white issue- physical versus verbal. I'm thinking of the more modern definition of groping, to fondle someone for sexual pleasure, not to blindly search with the hands. If by "groping," you mean touching, I don't totally disagree. There is a major difference between commenting on one's physique and grabbing at absolutely any part of another person's body. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/10 06:38 AM |
| 2 | www.Jezebel.com: "Why shameless objectification can be a good thing." - but only when it happens to men (because we don't mind).If it's not awkward for her to grope me, it shouldn't be awkward for me to comment on her body. It's equality. Nope, that's not even equality. Equality would be commenting for commenting and groping for groping, not one action being admissible for one group and a lesser being admissible for the other. (I do agree with your other points.) | /r/MensRights | 27/06/10 04:48 AM |

When I first started reading your comment, I checked to make sure I hadn't written it myself while sleepwalking. My cousin- also my good friend- went through the situation you described. I soon realized I was wrong- that bitch purposefully got pregnant (then married) for his death benefits.

I mean, the women call themselves "stupid women", the men get to do all the hard labor and the female protagonist doesn't make the first move! Oh, and she can be a bad driver. It's made a bit better by the fact that there are no women in the war. I wouldn't want a woman to back me up on the battlefield; they're better suited to be nurses' aides. And I think she shaves.

| 2 | Don't Let The Trolls WinI think you've pointed out one of the main reasons I love this subreddit. The WBB posts are so-so for me, since I realize that both women and men act like shitfaces most of the time and one more doing it isn't going to teach me a lot. However, the greatest thing (for me) here is that rational discussion, well-thought out posts and knowledge always are upmodded far above any pun threads or "LOL!!1!) or "fuck women, their a bunch a bitches." Thanks for contributing and another upmod for you. | /r/MensRights | 13/09/09 12:17 AM |
| 2 | Don't Let The Trolls WinIt's awesome to have "new" on your RSS feed. It really does help to reduce spam (in other subreddits) and increase viewings of good posts. I hope I can have that kind of tenacity sometime. I can only do it so long before getting so sick of spam and turning it off. | /r/MensRights | 13/09/09 12:03 AM |
| 3 | Don't Let The Trolls WinThank you for reminding people of this. I don't usually find others' editing to be an issue, especially if done quickly, but badly-reasoned or badly-worded posts or comments don't have the weight and impact than those that are well-thought out. I should take this advice, myself. | /r/MensRights | 13/09/09 12:01 AM |

The odd part of your explanation is that I totally agree with almost all of your statements. Women, in general, are very different and most should admit that many women are slutty or gold-digging.

I have pissed other women off with it, but calling their tits pretty bags of flesh there to make up for brains would do the same. Just to add another female tidbit- we objectify men just as much.

| 3 | Is arguing against male-only conscription really arguing for equality?True or not, the usual response comes in the form "we are against the drafting of both men and women and therefore most definitely support equality." Although that response is sidestepping the hypothetical debate over who should be drafted, many people of all sorts of gender beliefs think that eliminating conscription altogether is a larger political issue, as it would be a general equalizer for the sexes, at least legally.

Both men and women play integral roles in society as a whole, no matter the culture. Obviously, we're different in many ways and various religions/societies/cultures define them much differently, but no society could exist without men.

When a certain group of people (disenfranchised, used, whatever) fight against the very same system that has done that to them, they gain very little leverage by fighting alone. Much like the whites you mentioned, women have nothing to gain (and much to lose, in the cases of many self-centered bitches), but also much to gain because their men are happier and more equal.

Edit: Why does a simple question, with no undertones whatsoever, deserve downvotes? | /r/MensRights | 17/06/09 07:45 PM |
| -2 | Men have been told their whole life that it's harassment to relate to women in a sexual manner. Men have gotten the message; college-age women complain that men aren't approaching them.I have no idea why you're being downvoted. As a woman (who hasn't always been married), there is no reason to not approach her with a tasteful (which can be a sexy, but not crude) line or conversation starter, just to see if she's interested. The ladder theory is pretty true. Raping will land you in jail; approaching may land you a date. Go for it! | /r/MensRights | 17/06/09 07:43 PM |

Men have gotten the message; college-age women complain that men aren't approaching them.Then I'm disappointed for both of us. I've read a lot of this subreddit and have been very proud of it- most movements are more prone to ad hominem attacks and pun threads- this one has been more rational and discussion-oriented. I haven't downvoted you, because I like hearing different sides of conversations, whether I agree or not. That's the point of a discussion. I know I'm not right all the time; I'm probably not right most of the time. I just don't think that downvoting is the best way to … | /r/MensRights | 17/06/09 06:29 PM |

I agree that there is enough food to feed everyone in the world and then some. But world peace? Yes, the majority of the world's population (as far as I know and I could be wrong) would prefer world peace over conflicts in all the myriad forms. Do you really think that either are possible, in our or our children's lifetimes? | /r/MensRights | 17/06/09 06:12 PM |

Men have gotten the message; college-age women complain that men aren't approaching them.Okay, I have to ask you guys- why the downmods to all my comments? It's ridiculous. If I'm spamming or adding absolutely nothing to the conversation, downmod me to hell and back. I was trying to offer another point of view to the conversation, which is the whole point of reddit. If you want a big circle-jerk, go for it. I thought the point was to have good discussions without ad hominem attacks and nastiness. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the men's rights movement is getting into th… | /r/MensRights | 17/06/09 06:05 PM |
| 3 | Tackling domestic violence against men - a victim speaks outWell, women aren't dogs. They shouldn't be hit. Neither should men. This woman was way out of bounds by physically hurting him, of course. She should be dealt with exactly as a man would be, had he hit his significant other or anyone else. However, scaring someone by hitting them is ridiculous. What if she wanted to train him like a dog (as you are suggesting), and hit him to scare him into better action? Wouldn't that piss you off? By your statement: ... Some dogs need to be hit with a newspape… | /r/MensRights | 17/06/09 05:56 PM |
| 1 | Men have been told their whole life that it's harassment to relate to women in a sexual manner. Men have gotten the message; college-age women complain that men aren't approaching them.World peace and food for everyone is unrealistic, absolutely. My point is that small changes help, and in huge ways for those that don't conform to the "norm". When it comes to the way one guy reading this acts toward women, it's very realistic. I'm no relationship guru by any means, but perceptions by individuals can be altered pretty quickly, even if widespread changes take much longer. It doesn't have to continue to be 'played' like this for men (and women, obviously, but the topic is men's a… | /r/MensRights | 17/06/09 04:45 PM |

Men have gotten the message; college-age women complain that men aren't approaching them.Admiring is awesome. Harassing, not so much. Persistence will get you somewhere, but not annoyance. Also, women are sexual creatures, too. There's no reason to act asexual with us. Intellectual conversations can be stimulating and attractive, but being sexy is usually welcome.

| 13 | Men have been told their whole life that it's harassment to relate to women in a sexual manner. Men have gotten the message; college-age women complain that men aren't approaching them.In college, I considered myself a feminist, mostly because all the literature we read that promoted gender equality was considered "feminist". (By the way, there were many discussions and a few articles devoted to the inequalities for men, which was also considered feminist. Who knew?) Since then, I've tried to find a better description, but it's difficult. Maybe "equalist"? More to the point, in my experience, it's better for both sexes to be more upfront and honest about their wants and intent… | /r/MensRights | 17/06/09 04:35 PM |
| 1 | No one can be sentenced to life in prison in Russia. DISCLAIMER: "No one" does not include men: you're not so lucky.Yeah, just like how potheads must be more dangerous, because they make up so much of the 'criminal' population in the US,too. I don't understand how so many people, no matter their gender, think that only fighting one side of a problem is somehow fighting for equality. There are unnatural and immoral issues for every gender. | /r/MensRights | 16/06/09 01:43 PM |
| 13 | No one can be sentenced to life in prison in Russia. DISCLAIMER: "No one" does not include men: you're not so lucky.That is absolutely ridiculous. Why are there different standards for men and women (of the same age, for the same crime?) Usually, we have different amounts of strength than the other sex, but that has nothing to do with crimes committed. We should have the same penalties, no matter what. What is the point of emphasizing equal rights if the punishments aren't equal? Is there a specific crime for which men are sentenced more harshly than women? Maybe I haven't read enough about Russian sentencing… | /r/MensRights | 15/06/09 09:04 PM |
