2	Here's a few for ya. How does this sub feel about gender exclusionary functions? i.e. Baby showers, bachelorette parties, and girl's nights out? Alternatively, would the men of this sub engage in male-only functions? What kind of fallout do you expect from your SO, if any? I don't see a problem with them usually, although I rarely participate in them. The baby shower one is the only really annoying one--both parents are having the baby, not just the mother! As a gay man, I've been invited to many baby showers and have learned to ask if I'm the only man invited. If so, then I tell the host right then that I won't be there. I am not an honorary female!	/r/MensRights	05/06/13 06:24 PM
1	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. For all the same reasons sports benefit men: increased physical activity, team-building, etc.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 05:01 PM
4	TIL Only 66.8% of American men had a job in 2010. That was the lowest level that has ever been recorded in all of U.S. history OK, but I'm not sure what this has to do with baginton's conspiracy-theory rant.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 04:59 PM
-4	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. You're right; at least, I haven't went and looked for evidence to support that, and the numbers could support your claim just as well. Regardless, I think the outcome has been positive, although it's clear the law needs revising.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 04:57 PM
-1	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. That's why I said we should lobby for improvement of the law rather than repeal. It is fairly clear that women were discouraged, both socially and fanancially from participating in sports, before the implementation of Title IX. That more women are now playing is a good thing. Let's keep that aspect, but remedy the law's downfalls.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 04:38 PM
2	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. The reason it isn't easy is not because of the law, but because of people's sexism. Administrators don't want to allow girls on teams because they worry about parents' complaints, boys don't want to wrestle against girls because it makes them uncomfortable. And I would like to point out that you still haven't offered a single case in which such a lawsuit occurred.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 04:35 PM

1	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. And I think you don't have a good idea of how the law works. It is clearly illegal. But we can argue about our expectations all day--we'll see what happens when a decision is reached. Again, do you have any actual evidence of cases like this occurring? Because it sounds to me that you're just making up hypothetical. The law has been in place for 40 years now, there should be something, if the problem actually exists anywhere other than your imagination.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 04:19 PM
2	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. Fair enough points! I think most girls my age could have bested me at nearly any sport, though :P I still think that if there is not enough interest from other girls to form a female-only team, then you're just stuck with your other option, which is to try out for the men's team. If you're not good enough, then I think you should just be out of luck. It sucks, but I don't think the boy's team should be eliminated because of one girl. I still passionately defend girl's right to try out for the bo…	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 04:17 PM
17	TIL Only 66.8% of American men had a job in 2010. That was the lowest level that has ever been recorded in all of U.S. history To be fair, that is still about 10 percent higher than the number of women who had jobs in 2010, at about 56 percent.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 04:12 PM
14	The law demands equality, except when it benefits a boy and this is exactly why, despite its problems, Title IX is a good thing. Without it, this boy would have no case. With it, he is likely to win his lawsuit against the school.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 04:06 PM

2	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. The parents are more than welcome to sue. They will lose, because there is nothing illegal about co-ed wrestling. Following your logic, what's next? Refusing gays to participate because of sexual harassment worries? Necessary does not mean equal. Your point that a girls' wrestling team with 2 players must get as much money as a 40-member boy's' team remains grossly wrong.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 04:02 PM
6	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. I don't see that as a problem with the law, but rather with your ability level at the time and your parents' choice. Wouldn't the sport have been just as dangerous with many freshmen boys?	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 03:59 PM
3	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. There certainly was a problem, and Title IX seems to have succeeded in improvements in women's sports. Is the law perfect? Nope. But it's better than nothing at all. MRAs should lobby for improvement of the law rather than outright repeal. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_IX#Impact): Advocates of Title IX's current interpretation cite increases in female athletic participation, and attribute those increases to Title IX.

I don't believe your "you get a sexual harassment suit a week." According to whom? How is allowing girls to join boys' teams sexual harassment? And your second point is just plain wrong.

As far as I know, there's no separate but equal clause in Title IX. Could you clarify?	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 02:17 PM
5	Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the approval of the Title IX law. Article fails to mention the 300+ boys wrestling programs closed due to IX. Couldn't women just be allowed to join men's teams? Then they would not have to close and would still be in compliance with the law.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 01:19 PM
1	Studies about the "wage gap"? Here is a good summary of the wage gap issue, with links to sources: http://mediamatters.org/research/201205020006 The important bit is closer to the end. After controlling for variables, the wage gap between women and men drops to 4 to 7 percent of the wage--or 96 to 93 cents to the dollar, a far cry from 77 cents. So yes, women seem to make less than men, and it is probably due to sexism. It's not fair and should perhaps be addressed, but it is not anywhere close to as big an issue as many hav…	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 10:48 AM

3	Don't debate feminists, because they know what they're hiding..... This is certainly true in some situations, such as employment and politics. But in other arenas (family court, primary education) actual, peer-reviewed research shows that women have an advantage over men.	/r/MensRights	06/05/12 12:41 AM
5	Don't debate feminists, because they know what they're hiding..... what about a poor black male versus a rich white woman? Privilege is not as clear-cut as you make it out to be. Everyone belongs to a wide variety of social groups, each of which has its own kind of privilege in certain environments and circumstances.	/r/MensRights	06/05/12 12:29 AM
2	Don't debate feminists, because they know what they're hiding..... I'm glad it was helpful. It is frustrating because privilege can be a legitimate, useful way to talk about issues of identity. It has unfortunately been completely distorted by some amateur social scientists to the extent that it is no longer a tool for inquiry and analysis, but of censorship.	/r/MensRights	06/05/12 12:27 AM

30	Don't debate feminists, because they know what they're hiding..... The privilege defense drives me totally batshit insane because it's usually used incorrectly, as a means to silence the opinions of others. I have a doctorate in the social sciences and have done lots of work with identity, and I can tell you with certainty that most who throw out "male privilege" are using the term incorrectly. No actual researcher thinks that an identity has privilege in all situations; it's entirely contextual, and each individual is made up of a complicated web of privileges…	/r/MensRights	05/05/12 05:54 PM

5	Feminist say 'a gender-based capital gap for new ventures” exists. Women CEOs face a 'green ceiling'. Will the whining stop? Where is your evidence that these are feminists? They are researchers, presenting evidence from a peer-reviewed research study. You may not agree with their conclusions, but presenting evidence is hardly whining. Argue against their methodology, or the interpretation of their data if you think their conclusions are wrong. But making up unfounded accusations and calling research "whining" is childish.	/r/MensRights	04/05/12 07:31 PM

Think about where a comment is coming from next time you're offended. Misogyny is a default answer for detractors of MRAs, and it's usually wrong."

Doctors are not interested in the nuances and complexities of actual research findings, but in patient health (and that is how it should be). But as a result, doctors are not above simplifying in order to better care for patients.

True concern for equality means ending all discrimination that is based on gender stereotypes, not only those that effect men or only effect women.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 12:12 PM
4	This sub-reddit has become a circle jerk, why? I see what you're saying, and agree to an extent, although I also think that some of the links are really pushing it. Perhaps we as a community should do a better job of contextualizing links we post, including a couple short sentences on why the link was posted and how it relates to men's rights.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 12:03 PM
2	This sub-reddit has become a circle jerk, why? I think it a bad idea to make the same mistakes that some feminists do. We should try to be better than that, to bring attention to our issues with facts rather than inflammatory lies.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 12:02 PM
9	"You may be her biological father, but you ain’t her dad now." When someone wants to take money from a dad, biological parenting means everything. When someone wants to take away his child, it means nothing at all. Maybe I missed it, but doesn't he have a legal right to see his daughter? Although family court is usually horrible when it comes to fathers' rights, they are usually guaranteed at least some visitation. Maybe it's complicated because he is not a citizen?	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 11:52 AM
-7	TIL that in 1993 Nine womens studies students posted fliers, with the names of random men who attend their college, around campus under the headline "Notice: These Men are Potential Rapists" Agreed, there's plenty of problems now without worrying on those that happened 2 decades ago.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 10:13 AM
2	Will Sweden abolish the concept of gender? You're right that it doesn't sound equal. I still think the concept is a good one and would ultimately be beneficial to men as well, although the implementation is obviously flawed in this case.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 10:11 AM
8	Woman castrates a man and then murders him, female commenters already assuming he deserved it. I think you're an idiot.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 10:07 AM
2	Teacher assaults student and rants about 'Nazis and Jews'. Teacher's Lawyer says she was merely conducting an "interactive lesson" on the Holocaust I also don't see what this has to do with Men's Rights. You're grasping at straws.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 09:57 AM
1	Will Sweden abolish the concept of gender? wouldn't this benefit men as well?	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 09:56 AM
1	Egalitarian feminist opposes quotas for women in STEM fields Yes, but most research suggests that men do better, on average, at math due to social and cultural reasons rather than an innate biological one (although there is by no means a scientific consensus on this claim). If women were encouraged in math and science fields the same way that men are, these differences in ability would reduce considerably, if not disappear entirely.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 09:54 AM
1	Found this golden video on the /rfeminism accurate being the key word, as in, backed by actual evidence gathered by credentialed researchers.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 03:32 AM
5	TIL that in 1993 Nine womens studies students posted fliers, with the names of random men who attend their college, around campus under the headline "Notice: These Men are Potential Rapists" indeed, posting both types of posters is wrong, but they differ by orders of magnitude!	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 03:27 AM

7	TIL that in 1993 Nine womens studies students posted fliers, with the names of random men who attend their college, around campus under the headline "Notice: These Men are Potential Rapists" ugh, that's revolting.	/r/MensRights	02/05/12 01:03 AM
2	Egalitarian feminist refutes the “Equal Pay Day” Myth Uh, social work usually requires a Master's degree. Many math/science jobs only require a bachelor's.	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 11:56 PM
1	Democrats want to give all mothers the right to "stay at home to raise their children". Fathers are out of luck. Fair enough. Both parties are awful when it comes to men's rights, although in very, very different ways.	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 08:42 PM
1	Egalitarian feminist opposes quotas for women in STEM fields Additionally, they are a mouthpiece for right-wing conservative groups. Hardly a reputable source.	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 06:12 PM
0	Egalitarian feminist opposes quotas for women in STEM fields What a shallow article. While I oppose quotas for females in these fields, bias and workplace hostility against women are rampant in these fields and should be addressed. Women are not somehow biologically less capable of doing math and science!	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 06:01 PM
4	Rachel Maddow (also some others on MSNCB) repeating the gender wage gap lie in its most explicit form Nope. I'm not saying that women are discriminated against in ALL aspects of the workplace, or that men are NEVER discriminated against. Both men and women are discriminated against in different ways in the workplace because of their sex. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that, and we should work to eliminate sex-based discrimination for all. I've seen workplace discrimination in my own workplace setting (higher education) too many times to count, although it is usually of the passive, tho…	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 04:03 PM
1	Rachel Maddow (also some others on MSNCB) repeating the gender wage gap lie in its most explicit form I have been pointing out factual rebuttals to those who have been posting the interview on facebook. While discrimination against females in the workplace certainly exists, particularly in some fields, this 77% meme grossly oversimplifies the situation.	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 03:30 PM
1	Can one be a feminist and a men's rights activist? - A feminist answers. Personally, I don't consider myself either one. I am for gender equality for both sexes. Both sides have their points, and both sides also have their rabid wackos.	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 03:22 PM
3	18 USC § 1384 prohibits US military to solicit legalized prostitutes abroad (1 year imprisonment). Pent-up sexuality may cause higher rates of harassment, date rape, forcible rape. Also premature marriages, whose failures will come to financially and emotionally haunt the immature young soldiers. I don't see how this is a men's right issue. Surely, it forbids women from soliciting prostitutes as well. And sorry, "pent-up sexuality" is no excuse for rape.	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 03:14 PM
2	Democrats want to give all mothers the right to "stay at home to raise their children". Fathers are out of luck. Republicans/Conservatives are just as bad. Do you really think they would support fathers taking on traditionally female roles?!	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 03:12 PM
