| 1 | Time reporter reports from Men's Rights Conference, empathizes with many of the issues they bring upDidn't someone there also start making a prison rape joke too, but then catch himself at the last second?If so, it's just not good enough. Off-colour jokes have their place, for sure; with trusted friends for example. But at a conference that you know is being covered by the press and at which one of the points being raised is how male rape is brushed under the carpet? That's just damn stupid. | /r/MensRights | 03/07/14 12:26 PM |
| 3 | Time reporter reports from Men's Rights Conference, empathizes with many of the issues they bring upIf you take away the 'but', all you have is 'yes'. I think you're absolutely right. I would love a men's rights movement to be proud of, where high-profile members don't dilute important messages about vital issues with unnecessary aggression. Few sensible people will argue with points like "too many men kill themselves, what can we do to stop it?" But when the message being broadcast is "too many men kill themselves, and it's because of women" it's no wonder both men and women turn away. Look a… | /r/MensRights | 03/07/14 11:22 AM |
| 1 | Children get called names, they are told "stick and stones". Grown, adult women get called names, and its a crime. Stop the presses, call the cops, internet discussions demanding justice spring up. ThThis absolutely does not belong in here. First of all, someone having a go at a breastfeeding woman is a dick. Secondly, it's posts like this that give others the impression that /r/mensrights is just a place for people to gather and bitch about women. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/14 08:17 AM |

| 1 | [via r/SRSsucks] Male feminist suffers cognitive dissonance after experiencing false accusationI completely take your point, and I'm grateful that you are disagreeing with me respectfully. In fact, I agree with lots of your points. I think honest discourse is better than sterile politically-correct bullshit, but sometimes it tips over too far. I've been angry and bitter too. I guess the difference now is, we (as a sub) are getting big, and the MRM is getting a lot of attention. We have a real opportunity right now to get our message across to people who may not have ever considered there … | /r/MensRights | 11/06/14 08:01 PM |
| 1 | This article about the "lies men's rights activist spread about women" popped up on my news feedIt's far, far harder for people to twist Farrell's words. Elam... not so much. And I think "I find [fembots] so pernicious and repugnant that the idea of fucking your shit up gives me an erection" is very, very problematic. If you don't, then that's great for you, but I think you may find it hard to win people over who are not already partisan. It takes intelligence to be provocative in a way that inspires debate and actually encourages people to listen. Elam and many AVfM writers are lacking th… | /r/MensRights | 11/06/14 07:56 PM |
| 1 | This article about the "lies men's rights activist spread about women" popped up on my news feedClassic Reddit response. But it's our job, as readers, to criticise what we don't like and make clear what we do. That's how things progress and improve. "I don't like what X politician is doing." "Then go into politics, quit complaining." It's just not an argument that stands up, for me. | /r/MensRights | 11/06/14 07:53 PM |
| 1 | This article about the "lies men's rights activist spread about women" popped up on my news feedWe're not talking about 'turning' on large groups though. In fact, I don't can't think of anyone who has been ousted for unhelpful behaviour. This would probably be a first. His brand of writing is just not doing us any good. Major publications are starting to cover men's rights in an honest way, but this guy shouting from the sidelines detracts from otherwise solid messages. Take Dean Esmay on that Fox affiliate show the other day. Solid points made, but slightly spoiled by the abject anti-femi… | /r/MensRights | 11/06/14 07:45 PM |
| 1 | This article about the "lies men's rights activist spread about women" popped up on my news feedHis 'satirical' pieces for starters. They are so poor, it's not obvious it's satire until he says so. Even his non-satire is loaded with language that would provoke the more easily-led reader to doing something silly. His writing is laced with misogyny, genuine hatred. That is dangerous. My opinion. | /r/MensRights | 11/06/14 07:42 PM |
| 8 | [via r/SRSsucks] Male feminist suffers cognitive dissonance after experiencing false accusationDon't get me wrong, I don't think we should shut down everyone who doesn't fit the hivemind. And it's good that it gets downvoted and disagreed with; just wish we didn't have to deal with that kind of nonsense at all, because I don't think it's just poorly expressed stuff that nonetheless comes from a positive place. I honestly believe that people who spew hateful shit are doing it just to get attention or to damage the MRM. Over the last day or so I've made a couple of comments along the lines … | /r/MensRights | 11/06/14 08:21 AM |
| 12 | [via r/SRSsucks] Male feminist suffers cognitive dissonance after experiencing false accusationI think maybe the stuff he "doesn't want to hear" is more along the lines of "you should've knocked that that cunt out". But I may be wrong. I know comments like that are relatively uncommon, but it takes one to confirm his bias and we'll have pushed away someone who needed our help; let alone get them to start thinking about men's issues in a positive way. | /r/MensRights | 11/06/14 07:25 AM |
| -3 | [via r/SRSsucks] Male feminist suffers cognitive dissonance after experiencing false accusationI really, really hope that if that guy did come here, he wouldn't be met with the kind of "fuck that bitch" comments that he expects to find. But I've been here long enough to know that comments like that do get thrown around. This is another example of why I really think we need to be moderate in our language. I know that's not a popular view with everyone, but this is the world we're living in. Even after being attacked, this guy is still wary about the MRM, so aggressive language isn't going … | /r/MensRights | 11/06/14 07:22 AM |
| 0 | This article about the "lies men's rights activist spread about women" popped up on my news feedYou do when they are hurting the whole movement with ill-thought-out articles. All it takes is for one person who was on the fence about the MRM to see one of his more 'feisty' pieces and they'll think "damn, they're exactly what the media says they are", write us off and we've lost someone who could have been a potentially powerful ally. | /r/MensRights | 11/06/14 07:17 AM |

| 1 | I do not get men's rights.And that's part of the problem, whitmatt. When we talk about serious issues facing men (like homelessness rates, lack of cancer funding, boys failing in education, male rape being denied, high suicide rates), the return is often something completely flimsy like "But why is this picture of a robot female?". It would be laughable if silly concerns like that (it's a real thing) didn't get a ton of attention while issues that are literally killing men by the thousands are overlooked. | /r/MensRights | 03/06/14 10:03 AM |
| 1 | Discussion Thread for: Reddit Survey: What are the issues important to the MRM?I would love for us to put more focus on racism and gay rights, however when I've mentioned it before, the suggestion is shot down as apparently it's not strictly about men's rights. The thing is, I think it is, and when I see some of the other things people on here get worked up about, it boggles my mind that we don't dedicate more energy to aiding and defending our gay and minority members. Gay rights should come under the banner of men's rights as gay men still face levels of hate and discrim… | /r/MensRights | 31/05/14 08:52 PM |
| 4 | As a feminist, I am so disappointed in feminism...I think most people, on both sides, want a dialogue. The problem is, when men's rights advocates try to instigate 'peace talks', they are shouted down by the more vocal members of the feminism subs and/or banned. Equally, when non-radical feminists suggest talking to men's rights advocates, they are warned that the sub is full of women-haters and their inbox will fill up with death threats. It's deliberate disinformation and grossly dishonest. Thankfully, when people like you decide to ignore wh… | /r/MensRights | 30/05/14 08:17 AM |

Hell, I find myself saying the MRA equivalent when an MRA does something stupid or hateful and we all get tarred with the same brush. However, highlighting that no organisations - the people in power; the ones who supposedly rise above the hateful behaviour of individuals; the arbiters of what is good and just in a societal movement - have condemned an action, speaks volumes.

There's numerous studies out there that show women get into more car accidents per mile, and that men drive more often.The EU ruled against insurers discriminating against men a couple of years ago, on the basis that it was sexist. There may be solid arguments that can be used in the US as well. | /r/MensRights | 05/05/14 08:48 AM |

| 3 | Really? Number 1?Sometimes, I try to defend things, but when I see anything from Elam, I have no choice but to throw my hands up and quit. His clumsy 'satire' and aggressive rhetoric does so, so little to help us and just gives firepower to those who oppose us. In the right hands, and with the right direction, AVFM could be a real bastion in the fight for equality, but then I see quotes like this and it depresses me how gladly some people celebrate and defer to an individual who unthinkingly enables those with a… | /r/MensRights | 20/04/14 12:27 AM |

"You disagree, so we don't have to be polite!" I'll admit, that seems to be kind of true in this thread, and it's a shame to see. If you were here trolling and attacking people, I'd understand, but from what I can see you're presenting your point of view in a fairly measured way. I don't necessarily agree with your point of view, but you're certainly not being a dick. | /r/MensRights | 04/04/14 06:27 AM |

Unlike many subs, we don't attack/ban people for having different opinions, and we get some pretty good discussions out of it. | /r/MensRights | 03/04/14 10:28 PM |

And you know what, even if you have been damaged, that's no reason to act like an arse. Being able to recognise that there are issues, yet still conduct yourself like a grown-up is what separates us from the Tumblr idiots. | /r/MensRights | 03/02/14 02:03 PM |

Just like I oppose anyone who identifies as MRA and says hateful things about women. From my perspective, the MRM isn't anti-feminist, but it is against some feminist activities that oppress or marginalise men. | /r/MensRights | 01/02/14 12:07 AM |

| 1 | The real rape culture!I think that joking about rape is fair game (unless you're making deliberately hurtful jokes at a rape victim). The issue here, I feel, is the double standard. A man even alluding to rape is aggressively pursued by leftists and radical feminists, demonised and forced to apologise - even if he wasn't telling a joke and was talking seriously ('You have no right to talk about this'/'You're mansplaining'/'Privilege says your opinion doesn't matter').

I know which one I think is more dangerous.How do you feel about the women's magazines which feature photoshopped, unrealistic, highly-sexualised pictures of men? Shouldn't Heat, Now, Closer, Cosmo, Glamour, Marie Claire et al face similar criticism for the way they objectify men as well as women? | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 08:29 PM |
| 11 | In the UK, there is a campaign to ban men's magazines because misogyny. Meanwhile, this is how one of the best-selling women's magazines treats women. I know which one I think is more dangerous.Alas, this article is from six years ago - now, the crosshairs have moved very much onto men's magazines which commit the cardinal sin of glorifying women. I fear that, even if the Guardian did run something like this today, the blame for the too fat/too thin attacks would be somehow be placed on men, rather than the female writers and editors, and the women who buy this shit week-in, week-out. | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 08:22 PM |
| 6 | I made a poor quality men's version of that dumb feminist comic...Ah yes, but they attack each other because of us. Y'know, cos of all the patriarchy. | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 06:12 PM |
| 10 | In the UK, there is a campaign to ban men's magazines because misogyny. Meanwhile, this is how one of the best-selling women's magazines treats women. I know which one I think is more dangerous.In fact, that image is more risque than the stuff they are trying to ban. I don't really see why you feel the need to post it here though. | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 05:51 PM |
| 54 | In the UK, there is a campaign to ban men's magazines because misogyny. Meanwhile, this is how one of the best-selling women's magazines treats women. I know which one I think is more dangerous.No they haven't. UK Feminsta have made no concerted effort to ban women's magazines, nor are they relentlessly attacked by @everydaysexism. | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 05:49 PM |
| 9 | College told me men can't be raped and tried to discredit meI don't understand why you're getting accused of being a troll. You're not exactly saying anything inflammatory. I'm sorry that you've come to this sub and some people are attacking you. | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 11:51 AM |
| 6 | This is not funny.MRAs don't want the right to assault women. So let's just pop that little bubble for you right now. | /r/MensRights | 22/12/13 09:50 AM |
| 6 | This is not funny.Please, for one second, imagine if a comedy film aimed at a male audience had a poster with a brass knuckles on it, with the clear implication that they will be used on a woman. This is not okay. | /r/MensRights | 22/12/13 09:50 AM |
| 1 | The Startling Facts on Female Sexual AggressionAlthough his conclusions are led by emotion, rather than by the FACTS he reports (typical SJW behaviour) - let's be thankful for the research and nice bank of references he did for us, which we can use in our own arguments. Highly recommend going through the comments, too. Among the shit, there are some solid arguments made. | /r/MensRights | 21/12/13 09:09 PM |
| -1 | I suggest that the MRM movement throw it's full weight in support of Gay Marriage.I absolutely agree with the suggestion. It's a sad state of affairs, but groups (like public figures) have to be vocal about things that are common sense. "So, Mr President, why haven't you denounced this terror attack?" Well of course he does - everyone does - but you have to say it. It's not something that's obvious, because of the focus given to addressing sexist policies that affect the majority of men, but the MRM is about more than just that - and fighting for the rights of gay men is one … | /r/MensRights | 20/12/13 11:19 AM |
| 6 | Man speaking to feminists at an athiesm event asks them not to 'silence' critics, especially men. Feminists respond by getting up a petition against him, successfully demanding an apology, demanding his resignation & then denying they've ever 'silenced' anyone. Facepalm.Tell that to SRS | /r/MensRights | 16/12/13 11:21 PM |
| 3 | Guys, check your privilege. I got 80.I did it for myself and got 135. Then I did the exact same but checked 'female' instead of 'male' - that was the only change I made - and got 60. Bull. Fucking. Shit. | /r/MensRights | 13/12/13 07:35 AM |
| 2 | "Male-bodied men do not suffer gender discrimination...defenders of 'men's rights' [are] 'neckbeards'". This belief is widespread at my university. Read the comments.Some of those comments are excellent. | /r/MensRights | 04/12/13 05:34 PM |
| 1 | Movember is sexist and racist, apparently.Alas, a LOT of people read the New Statesman and use the nonsense within as some kind of guide to the way we should all behave. Depressing, isn't it. | /r/MensRights | 02/12/13 09:16 AM |
| 26 | Movember is sexist and racist, apparently.No, they didn't. That's one of the things this sub is for. To highlight discrimination against men (including media portrayals) and to challenge it. | /r/MensRights | 01/12/13 04:53 PM |
| 1 | What Kind of Person Goes to a Men's Rights Rally?Good lord, what a terrible article. Vice is renowned for having shit writers, but this guy reaches new heights of shitness And again, we see links to AVfM being used to portray us in a negative light. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 10:30 PM |
| 3 | Feminist website Jezebel forced to apologize over making fun of Chris Brown sex abuseThis 'apology' still manages to demonise men. The girl that raped him was "likely perpetuating something awful that had happened to her." Even if that is true, this is meant to be a mea culpa, not another way to propagate your worldview. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 10:18 PM |
| 2 | Some statistics to consider (X-Post from Tumblr)The "rapists with anger issues" field is a little jarring. | /r/MensRights | 01/10/13 10:15 AM |

| 5 | Not All MRAs Are Like ThatI think we should, yes. Yesterday, I posted this, which was met with... well... not much really. For the lazy, it's a fairly well-known journalist's account of the first 'MRA' he has encountered. I am using quote marks because I don't believe this guy reflects who we are. Today, Big Red has picked up on it. And yes, it matters because as much of a fool we think she is, people listen to her. And later this week, the journalist who got sent this abuse is going to write about it for The Telegraph M… | /r/MensRights | 30/09/13 06:48 PM |
| 1 | Idiots like this, who send abuse to well-known journalists, give us a bad name.I agree, Mic used Nolan's behaviour to judge all MRAs, and that's not right. I guess my point is, it's frustrating that it's idiots like this that get attention and use our cause as a hook to hang their aggression on. Whether you like him or not, Mic is getting increasingly well-known (and regularly uses his own life as a source of material), so this Peter Nolan character should have had the sense to see that if he behaved in that way, he was going to damage the movement and make us all look bad… | /r/MensRights | 29/09/13 10:21 PM |
| 2 | Commenter "Bubblepop99" destroys feminist argument regarding the evolution of pornography and belittles internet porn addiction in men. Good guy.-UK Independent.Mainstream media in the UK crushes dissent. | /r/MensRights | 29/09/13 09:41 PM |
| 1 | The Guardian runs a guide telling male students how not to behave. There is no female equivalent. This is a screenshot, not a link, because fuck them.When it comes to social matters the Guardian is a joke and uses writers that would fit in well on a 14-year-old's Tumblr. | /r/MensRights | 24/09/13 09:07 PM |
| -2 | Feminist complaining about men not being as successful as women. The kicker is the last line:"Imagine if men were on our level.."The comments underneath are terrifying - some real blinkered people out there. | /r/MensRights | 21/09/13 07:37 PM |
| 3 | The logical, passionate comments on this article about "men benefiting from sexism" are good to see.Absolutely, but once the misandric cheerleaders have their say, there are some really good, logical, arguments from MRAs. | /r/MensRights | 05/09/13 07:01 AM |
| 2 | The logical, passionate comments on this article about "men benefiting from sexism" are good to see.Yes, but if you take 5 seconds to scroll down a bit, you'll see a number of comments from men taking her to task. Thanks for contributing to the debate in a mature way though. | /r/MensRights | 05/09/13 07:01 AM |
| 7 | AskFeminists didn't like my question, I guess...Wow. The level of inclusion. We have so much to learn. /s | /r/MensRights | 02/09/13 01:06 PM |
| 2 | So i got banned from /R/Feminism for thisBecause a major part of what holds us back as a movement is the way we are misrepresented. If /r/feminism would actually engage in serious, earnest conversation, they would have no choice but to accept that we are pro-equality and not an anti-women group. | /r/MensRights | 05/08/13 07:09 AM |
| 5 | Glamorous young TV news anchor arrested for beating her husbandNow, will she be (rightly) sacked by the station, as would happen (rightly) to a male news anchor who beat his wife? | /r/MensRights | 04/08/13 10:27 PM |
| 9 | So i got banned from /R/Feminism for thisIt's unfortunate, but any comment that isn't part of the jerk gets the poster banned. Imagine how much further along we would be if /r/feminism would actually engage in serious conversation with /r/mensrights, rather than just labelling us. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/13 07:05 PM |
| 1 | Meet Cathy Young, our hypocritical "ally"...Fuck you. You're why the MRM is not taken seriously and treated as a hate group. You blinkered, close-minded prick. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/13 04:35 PM |
| 0 | Meet Cathy Young, our hypocritical "ally"...We're not. I am an MRA and have downvoted you because I think the things you are saying are damaging to us and our fight. If I feel that way, I'm sure others do too. | /r/MensRights | 02/08/13 11:30 PM |
| 4 | "Actually, we’re not all sex offenders"I posted it here because, while the guy who wrote it is not an MRA (I'm not sure he is even aware of the movement), in the UK at least, the fact he's saying this stuff at all is a big deal. Our media is so crushed by liberal thought, anyone who says this sort of thing becomes a pariah. If it was someone with no online presence, it wouldn't be worth remarking on, but this guy appears in a couple of big UK newspapers, and he has a large, loyal Twitter following (www.twitter.com/angrybritain). Usua… | /r/MensRights | 29/07/13 06:44 PM |
| 7 | Question for you MRAs from a scepticWhile I disagree with some of the sentiments expressed in this thread, I think it speaks volumes about our movement that questions like this are not shut down and the OP banned. We're seeing, for the most part, thoughtful and intelligent answers. If only the same could be said of other subreddits, there might be a bit more conversation going on. | /r/MensRights | 25/07/13 08:49 AM |
| 1 | Feminist bike enthusiast accuses man of "driving so slowly right behind me" and "being creepy and threatening." Friends "agreed – it was creepy." Nobody checks Florida trail road rules ... no passing until "clear warning signal" is acknowledged.No comments telling her this? Or would I be correct in suggesting she deleted them all and closed comments? | /r/MensRights | 01/07/13 06:04 PM |
| 1 | Male suicide rate caused by....patriarchy and sexism"While Powell might see this as feminism forgetting her brothers, however, it seems more likely that 'male' attributes, with all their attached prestige, are easier to assimilate than those 'female' ones which stink of instability and inferiority." Fuck. Off. | /r/MensRights | 29/06/13 05:47 PM |

And women's gossip magazines will stop showing celebrities in bikinis and declaring them 'perfect' or 'gross'? Yep. Those things are definitely going to happen. | /r/MensRights | 27/05/13 04:47 PM |
