4	Sydney barber who refused to cut girls hair settles discrimination case \| Women-only gyms are legally protected, but a male barber who isn't trained to cut women's hair cannot refuse a demand that he do so. As a woman, why would you want to go to a barber shop doesn't know how to cut your hair, unless you want a men's cut. This was done purely to create a court battle.	/r/MensRights	12/07/18 06:15 AM
112	The hard naked truth about marriage To be fair, this happens to women too. I had a friend was the sole breadwinner of the family while her husband looked for a job in other women's panties. She ended up stuck supporting him and his mistress through alimony. He even had the balls to ask her for her wedding ring back even though he paid for less than half of it (he gave her 2 grand for something she spent 8 grand on). Lesson here is to get a prenup.	/r/MensRights	12/03/18 12:50 AM
1	Switch the picture to a female... Except the expectation is that the standard female already comes with the cleaning supplies, a cooking pan, and maybe a kid on her hip (for context, I'm not white). But regardless of gender, it's nice to have a tidy partner who shares in all responsibilities.	/r/MensRights	29/10/17 06:12 PM
1	Just this one issue justifies MRA Like any group, there are reasonable people who want reasonable things, and there are radical outliers who give the whole group a bad name. For example, Susan B Anthony was not a neo-feminazi who thought all men should die, but they both fall under the same general category. There are misogynist people who claim to be mra and since its more "buzz worthy"and gets more clicks/views, they get more coverage and causes people to freak out. Many people think mra is a bunch of men who can't get dates s…	/r/MensRights	07/09/17 01:17 PM
-1	How does feminism determine that masculine and feminine traits are social constructs and not evolved traits? Nature vs. Nurture is an age old question. However, there are many laws and norms that are not based on biology at all. Are women biologically incapable of owning property or holding a job? Are men biologically pedophiles incapable of raising their own children? High heels were originally designed for men and pastels look amazing on men with the right skin tone. It would be silly to suggest that women are biologically designed to wear heels when it is proven how horrible they are for them. The i…	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 09:34 PM
3	I think I hate my English teacher. She sounds like a horrible teacher all around. An English teacher who refuses to read, doesn't provide support for facts she presents, and ignores all evidence against her own argument. Every English teacher I've ever met would fail this woman, how did she ever get the credentials to teach? She is setting a horrible example for all of the students, not just the males. Imagine if you as her student used the same lines and logic in class, refusing to read the material, having no sources, and just …	/r/MensRights	14/11/15 07:46 PM
1	[Study] Men who treat women the same as they treat other men, without benevolent sexism/female privilege, are seen as overwhelmingly sexist by both men and women. I've heard of people complaining about the same thing when affirmative action was taken out. Our neighbor (white family) was complaining that her granddaughter had a college admission acceptance retracted. She had applied for early admission, but affirmative action was taken out of effect before she would have started attending. Turns out they only accepted her to fill a quota that they were no longer required to fill. Many white women didn't realize they were a huge chunk of the population bene…	/r/MensRights	15/01/15 05:49 PM
1	I am a woman, and I am appalled by feminism. There seems to be two camps, feminists and what I refer to as neo-feminists (who I am convinced are crazy). I am incredibly grateful for the feminists from 18-1900s. Thanks to them I can vote, go to school, get a career, and not be considered property. Some are still around, advocating for better conditions for women in other countries, or some legitimate inequalities here as well. Unfortunately, neo-feminists have completely lost sight of what the movement is supposed to be about and instead, a…	/r/MensRights	11/01/15 04:55 AM
3	Sex While Drunk Is Now Legally Rape In California (Seriously, It Is) What if you have your date sign a contract that they give consent while sober (including a "I am currently sober"clause), that they plan to have sex with you and will not press charges. To retract their consent, they agree to use a safe word and consent is not considered absent unless that word is audibly verbalized. Have both parteners sign. My husband was hesitant about sleeping with me if I drank any alcohol but I usually want him even more then so I gave him blanket consent in those cases. I…	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 07:02 AM
2	24% of women would have a baby without their partner's consent If the mother never goes on welfare or other social aid in the U.S., it's very difficult to make them pay. Source: biological father owes a lot in unpaid child support despite several court orders. Now that I'm an adult, I could sue him for it, but I don't plan to. However, if she does, the government will recover that cost from the father.	/r/MensRights	22/08/14 05:45 PM
2	"Women are used as sex symbols"? How about "People are used as sex symbols"? A large collection of how males are represented in the media Women are also programmed to hide it more. Things are starting to change but for a very long time women weren't allowed to show any sexual desire without people thinking she was a slut. There is still a lot of negative attitudes towards female sexuality so it's in a woman's best interest to play innocent.	/r/MensRights	31/05/14 11:08 PM
-2	"Women are used as sex symbols"? How about "People are used as sex symbols"? A large collection of how males are represented in the media Women started demanding that more attractive men appear in media in the early 90's as a response to all of the images of objectified women in ads. Advertisers obviously wouldn't stop using women in ads so it would be easier to add men in the mix since women were still the primary buyer of household goods. I know there is an example from earlier but as a woman I can tell you that guy is neither attractive, nor does his outfit do anything for me. If a guy tried to seduce me in that short onsie, I …	/r/MensRights	31/05/14 07:34 PM

A large collection of how males are represented in the media Lady boners is all just pictures of celebrities which is an issue of its own. They are everywhere even without that subreddit. People like looking at attractive people, it's hardwired into our biology. Some of the top Google searches around the world are for images of attractive female celebrities.

7	Men can't hit a woman, even if she's attacking your daughter. This is easy to say until it's their own daughter being attacked.	/r/MensRights	26/05/14 01:23 AM
2	'Feminism is concerned with Men's Rights too.' The problem comes in with the term "rights". Some people think rights to equality, others think rights to extra privileges and superiority, on both ends. Feminism and masculism are used by all groups to describe both so it is very confusing when trying to communicate to people with existing prejudice who don't wait to see which you mean.	/r/MensRights	18/01/14 05:27 PM
3	College told me men can't be raped and tried to discredit me Honestly, I feel like you should file a law suit to get it on the books and bring more awareness, plus that would help many other men at different schools and institutions who have the same problem. Even if it was just to out law one sided sexual harassment training. It's important for everyone to realize that sexual harassment can happen to anyone. Even if it's not rape, men can easily be groped against their will or told things that make them feel objectified, uncomfortable, or threatened. The…	/r/MensRights	30/12/13 03:51 PM
1	Getting divorced turns men into slaves Is he able to go back to court and try to get that lowered? Depending on the judge, they may be able to lower payments. Or is there some way he could put it into a fund for his children's future? Obviously none of this money is actually going to his children which is wrong! I would be pissed at my mom if I was their kid. And that woman completely doesn't understand the concept of tithing or Christianity. It is meant to be a personal sacrifice, not a way of getting back at your ex and taking away…	/r/MensRights	18/12/13 11:53 PM
1	Since no other Sub will care about my rape story I'm really sorry to hear that. A past boyfriend of mine had lost his virginity to his rapist, and although it had been quite a few years, on the anniversary of when it happened, he was a mess and it still hurt him so much to think of how he had been violated. In addition to raping him, she sliced him up with a knife, and he didn't feel like he could do anything about it. Remember, this is not your fault and you have done nothing wrong or shameful. People who say you should enjoy it are ignorant …	/r/MensRights	13/12/13 06:12 AM
1	How Feminism has broken the system Many of the problematic attitudes and policies sited on MR can be seen as related to the partial shift since there was a much larger shift for women without an equal shift for men in social norms (women get this right/choice, but men are stuck with limited to no choice or little support in the same things). Social issues involving gender are often linked back to the culture's attitudes toward gender roles. Many of the issues bought up here don't apply only to one man in a specific relationship. …	/r/MensRights	24/09/13 08:48 AM
1	How Feminism has broken the system The rigid vs fluid spectrum (or masculine vs feminine, it has a few names) is based off of Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions theory although there are others that deal with the same thing. I can't show you the college course I took, but the Wikipedia page has a small section on a couple of theories under "Theories of the social construction of gender". (Many sources and journals require a subscription or for you to buy the article to read it so that wouldn't help very much) http://en.wikipedia.org/…	/r/MensRights	23/09/13 12:03 AM
1	How Feminism has broken the system This is why advocacy is necessary in order to change it. It creates issues and confusion for both genders and leaves an opening for injustice. Some women are comfortable where it is because they have an upper hand but not all women feel that way. I do feel like men should have a fair and equal application of the law (protection and justice in abuse cases for example) and cultural attitudes need to change to allow for more equality. Plus it gets tiring trying to argue with a date to let you buy h…	/r/MensRights	21/09/13 03:30 AM
1	How Feminism has broken the system I had not heard of that but do agree that this and other standards like it need to be changed. Not surprisingly, this information was not widely publicized. I have dated a couple of men who were previously victims of rape and/or domestic violence and it is horrible. In one case the woman was arrested for being physically violent towards him but the rape case went unreported as I imagine is often the case. Victim blaming or shaming is always horrible no matter the genders involved, and I realize …	/r/MensRights	21/09/13 03:21 AM
1	How Feminism has broken the system Through advocacy for a shift in social attitudes. I don't personally have all of the answers for how to change society, but that is the point of groups like these. To share ideas and build awareness in an effort to change attitudes the same way all movements aim to. But it starts by recognizing the problem, making others aware of the problem, communally coming up with ways to change or persuade others to contribute towards fixing it. We can encourage our friends and family to reevaluate sexist t…	/r/MensRights	21/09/13 12:57 AM
1	How Feminism has broken the system I can't say I'm terribly familiar with that act but the wiki page on it states that it does protect men. Although I agree the name has a charged connotation. Would you want to change something about it other than its name?	/r/MensRights	21/09/13 12:42 AM
1	How Feminism has broken the system It has improved things for women but also created an imbalance in gender roles where now both genders are in a confused role. With women free to take on any role but men still expected to keep their roles it created this pressure to either revert back to old roles or cause tension by leading to competing with your own partner rather than working together. I am not bashing it, I'm just saying by not making it a complete shift, it has brought about its own unique set of issues and challenges to so…	/r/MensRights	21/09/13 12:34 AM
2	How Feminism has broken the system Yes, equality would mean that any victims (of abuse, rape, etc) of any sort should be protected regardless of gender of the victim and the offender. However, advocates are still needed to bring about this change. People should also be considerate and polite to everyone regardless of gender. Fluid gender roles is more about taking gender out of the equation and everyone working as a team, male and female alike to the best of their abilities and carrying equal responsibilities. True, there are var…	/r/MensRights	20/09/13 10:31 PM

0	How Feminism has broken the system So you feel that educating and employing women is a waste and wonder why women get offended... Perhaps we should stop educating children in foster care or with parents who are living in poverty and/or on welfare too since statistically they aren't likely to do anything productive with their lives other than live off the system either. Also, just because many women with an education don't stay in the work force for long, they make up the bulk of volunteers in which they do use their skills and ed…	/r/MensRights	20/09/13 07:57 PM
1	How Feminism has broken the system One, roofs don't need to be reshingled that often so it isn't a constant day to day thing, I think my grandpa is the only man I know who would even do that himself and not hire someone to do it for him. But if a woman did complain about that, I would just think she was an ungrateful bitch. Yes they exist, but normal women aren't that mean. But men can be that way too. Day after day, the house is clean, dinner is made, children are in one piece, he comes home from work and asks "Why do you just s…	/r/MensRights	20/09/13 07:28 PM
1	How Feminism has broken the system I'm saying that it doesn't work with things being in the middle. The current Feminist movement did half the job and left it at that which is the source of a lot of the complaints and concerns voiced on this subreddit. However, it will be difficult now to take back women's rights since they have gotten used to it. That would be like deciding all African Americans should all be slaves again now because that worked better (in that revoking rights and equalities would cause a huge uproar and be mora…	/r/MensRights	20/09/13 07:13 PM
0	How Feminism has broken the system So are you proposing that we should stick to rigid gender roles (I'm just want to make sure that I am understanding correctly)? There are women who would rather be the breadwinner than stay at home with crying babies and cook and clean all day. I personally would have no problem opening doors, paying for dinner, and providing for my family and I know many other women who feel the same. It would be a matter of finding a good team mate who compliments your own goals and desires for yourself. Not a…	/r/MensRights	20/09/13 06:18 PM
0	How Feminism has broken the system That is more an issue of how lazy and selfish people are. Granted Americans have the luxury of being those things whereas the people in tribal communities do not. Perhaps it is better that it goes back to rigid gender roles. My point is that many of the issues of inequality arise because currently we do not have one or the other.	/r/MensRights	20/09/13 05:41 PM
5	How Feminism has broken the system True, but they were rarely high power, high stress careers that have opened up to women in more recent times. There were some exceptions but it was less common. And I know that not all women have careers, but the "Mommy myth" has become a more prominent thing over the past 20-30 years where women are expected to transform into super woman if she wants a fulfilling career. I admire women who seem to pull it off but as a college educated woman who wants a family, the pressure to become that is eno…	/r/MensRights	20/09/13 05:31 PM
2	This post by a female friend of mine made me very uneasy To be fair, women should evaluate a partner before commiting to marrying them. If her boyfriend is not someone she can live with, don't marry him. Women are subject to the same evaluation. But I feel like if she isn't going to praise him until the honeymoon, she won't pass his evaluation to get there. What man wants to marry a cold, ungrateful woman who never expresses attraction? Also, sorry guys, but there are people out there who only date to find a spouse, both men and women. It is probably …	/r/MensRights	18/09/13 05:05 PM
0	"I'm a girl, we can do that..." They sound like entitled bitches. My friends and I have never tried to do this. Best way to handle it would be to bring in another group of women waiting in line to make them back down because the rape card becomes completely invalid if it's another woman arguing with them. But honestly, let them call security and tell them that they are just walking to the front of the line and let security deal with them. However, if you are having a conversation with them, does it really matter? It's one thin…	/r/MensRights	22/07/13 06:31 AM
2	Male privilege. I've never heard it called that but there certainly is. Like girls who play the female card in getting their way or gaining sympathy through false rape charges. I knew of a girl who would accuse every guy she slept with of rape because she didn't want to be labeled a slut. She even went as far as filing a police report because her friend touched her "inappropriately" after ditching school to watch porn with this guy in his room and taking off her panties. She also never actually told him no or t…	/r/MensRights	15/07/13 02:34 PM
3	Male privilege. How does the term "rape culture" demonize men? We do live in a rape culture and I feel like men get the worst end of it because not only does our society blame the victim but they even refuse to believe that men can be a victim of rape and harassment even though it happens all the time. Again, a society that accepts rape as normal does it even more so with men. How many people get offended over prison sex jokes (blatantly making fun of men getting raped by other men) compared to female rape joke…	/r/MensRights	15/07/13 02:24 PM
6	Survey of 101 divorce lawyers show the #1 reason for divorce is boredom, 7 out of 10 divorces initiated by women Actually, it is usually the partner that is more financially stable that pay alimony. An old coworker (woman) worked as a manager for a communication company and was an assistant manager at the retail store we worked at and she had to support her ex husband, his mistress, and the kid they had together while he was still married to her through alimony since he didnt work. It's not a common case but some women do have to pay alimony if they are the primary bread winner, I guess that just isn't the…	/r/MensRights	19/06/13 05:59 PM
1	Men/Women of Seddit, I had oneitis relapse, I forgot about abundance, and I got played for a fool, /startrant I feel it is harder for attractive women to be rejected. Women are taught that every man wants sex with any female that is 18+ and breathing (and younger but we'll keep it legal for now) and if you're pretty that desire just increases. This girl was offering to sleep with you and could not understand why any male would decline that offer. It's like the HIMYM power of no episode. She wants you more now because no guy ever says no to sleeping with her. She wants to prove to herself that she still …	/r/seduction	08/04/13 05:12 PM
1	A Question from a Pessimistic Lady I am a woman who enjoys sex (more so than the average woman, and more than some men as well) and I went into dating thinking that men only wanted sex and wanted it all the time, but was sorely disappointed. I was very upfront and clear with what I want when I was dating and some guys just weren't as interested in sex as I was. One way to find out if that is what a guy is after is to tell them upfront that you want to wait until marriage (or another goal you are interested in like after a year or…	/r/seduction	08/01/13 11:20 PM
