34	Many who have faced false rape charges would disagree... Galbraith had a simple rule: listen and verify. “A lot of times people say, ‘Believe your victim, believe your victim,’” Galbraith said. “But I don’t think that that’s the right standpoint. I think it’s listen to your victim. And then corroborate or refute based on how things go.” A quote from the competent detective featured in this horrifying article.	/r/MensRights	30/09/18 10:50 AM
2	Girls love a guy who fixes the house and wears a tool belt with no shirt in the sun, but if I say I want watch a woman make me a sandwich in a short skirt I'm a sexist who supports gender roles. Depends on what I'm cooking. If there's hot oil involved, hell no.	/r/MensRights	23/07/17 08:28 AM
1	Male massage therapists Yay, for trying to break stereotypes and good luck. Male massage therapists are fantastic at working out difficult knots. I have run into two types of massage therapists that I would rather not though. The female version only wants to work on younger attractive men and usually tries to go into athletic massage. They're creepy and predatory. The male version is incredibly socially awkward and you get the feeling that massage is the only physical contact he has with either gender on a weekly basis…	/r/MensRights	05/04/13 07:28 PM
2	In response to the latest heavily upvoted idiotic concern troll here today calling us "whiny, bitchy little boys" for talking "too much" about feminism: THIS IS WHY the MRM must and constantly does sp Hmm, not sure why it's not showing up for you but here you go.	/r/MensRights	01/04/13 07:04 PM
5	This sub spends too much time complaining about feminism and not enough time pushing forward men's rights and changes in the treatment of men. As far as I can tell, this sub is trying to serve two purposes: education about Men's Rights (ie. custody, alimony, child support are biased and unjust systems) and support for men who have gone through unnecessary trauma because of their gender (eg. dealing with custody, abusive wives, or false rape accusations). Overall, I find this sub similar to r/TwoXChromosomes. Both subs offer useful support but can get very passionate about topics they care about which can lead to anger and less rational…	/r/MensRights	31/03/13 10:40 PM
1	New study suggests women are underrepresented in STEM fields by choice, because they have more career options Your posts are still coming across as incredibly rude and angry but you are getting slightly better at this. You have provided some form of data though with no sources. I still wonder at your reading comprehension as no one but you has mentioned the desire for a 50:50 gender split in STEM. I have no problem with you raging against the injustice of quotas. Quotas are bullshit. Quotas are not the goal and I am uncomfortable with their use as a stepping stool. Having a 50:50 gender split is not a r…	/r/MensRights	21/03/13 03:40 AM
1	New study suggests women are underrepresented in STEM fields by choice, because they have more career options No, they don't and men don't have to be fathers.	/r/MensRights	20/03/13 07:41 PM
1	New study suggests women are underrepresented in STEM fields by choice, because they have more career options Woah. When did I say women have a cognitive flaw? Are you talking about stereotype threat? Stereotype threat can effect performance for anyone regardless of gender. It is a subtle (and possibly minor) social ill that could use some work. If you are female, there are likely societal pressures against you becoming a mathematician. If you are male, there are likely societal pressures against you becoming a nurse. Both genders (at least to some degree) do these jobs anyway. I have no desire for "bus…	/r/MensRights	20/03/13 07:39 PM
1	New study suggests women are underrepresented in STEM fields by choice, because they have more career options My uncle was a math teacher for 25 years before he got tired of parents and administration. It is completely possible to be a math teacher if that is something you desire. If you continue to worry about legal ramifications, my tips would be don't work a private school for rich kids who are always used to getting there way, look for work in a smaller town (under 100,000), or just find a school that has a number of other male teachers. You do have options and either way it is your choice.	/r/MensRights	20/03/13 05:33 PM
1	New study suggests women are underrepresented in STEM fields by choice, because they have more career options There is funding for getting men into teaching and nursing. Run a quick google search on "scholarships for males in ..." Nursing and education come up immediately. I'll agree that it is generally less talked about but the funding does exist. Reminder: The goal is for those with equal skill and ability to be able to get the jobs they desire. The hope is to be able to work through some of the societal pressure put forth by both genders to limit options.	/r/MensRights	20/03/13 05:27 PM
1	New study suggests women are underrepresented in STEM fields by choice, because they have more career options It's true. A woman does not have to have a baby. That said, a man does not have to be a father. However, if a loving couple wants to have a child, in general, a woman will have to go through pregnancy and give birth.	/r/MensRights	20/03/13 05:21 PM
1	New study suggests women are underrepresented in STEM fields by choice, because they have more career options Well if anybody is going to be having them... it's going to be a woman.	/r/MensRights	20/03/13 05:17 PM
1	New study suggests women are underrepresented in STEM fields by choice, because they have more career options Thank you for your posts. See above for some supporting data. In this type of discussion, I find data to be the most effective tool.	/r/MensRights	20/03/13 05:15 PM
1	New study suggests women are underrepresented in STEM fields by choice, because they have more career options That's not what the_raptor is saying at all. No quotas, quotas are bullshit. Lowering the standards is also bullshit. I want my civil engineers to be effective when designing roads and bridges, thank you. The point he is trying to make is that there may be pressure (both societal and within the classroom) for women to enter other fields. I will link you to a couple of studies about mathematical performance and stereotype threat. This one discusses women and mathematical ability while this one di…	/r/MensRights	20/03/13 05:10 PM
1	Are you a man? Like tinkering with motors? Congratulation! You're a misogynist! I've seen this thread and if memory serves, the replies were all giving her crap.	/r/MensRights	19/03/13 01:37 AM
1	Glass cellar vs Glass ceiling (85% of the worst rated jobs are held by men) Sure. I'll find a more specific paper. Double-blind review favours increased representation of female authors in ecology and evolution. More papers with a female first author were published when the authors name was hidden. The new numbers were more representative of the field demographics. The above example is specific and has data. My previous example, though less data driven, is still valid. In general, a male scientist (and I am not speaking of the social sciences) will garner more respect f…	/r/MensRights	12/03/13 10:53 PM
2	Glass cellar vs Glass ceiling (85% of the worst rated jobs are held by men) The glass cellar is a valid issue but multiple issues can be valid at the same time. The STEM community definitely has some bias in favor of males. One goal many people share is the desire do good work and be respected for it. It can be harder to gain that respect in STEM because of the way you look or the gender implied by the name on your peer reviewed paper. See here for an article on a scientist to transitioned from female to male.	/r/MensRights	12/03/13 08:35 AM
1	Glass cellar vs Glass ceiling (85% of the worst rated jobs are held by men) All right. Lets pick two traditionally blue collar jobs that require little education. Would you rather work construction or work in a nursing home? Why? Is it pay? (construction wins) Odds of injury? (construction wins short term and severity, odds aren't much better for nursing home long term though) Who you work with? (these jobs fall heavily under gender lines) Societal gender role pressure? (not wanting to be seen as a dyke or a pussy) Location? (construction is more mobility based, nursing…	/r/MensRights	12/03/13 08:25 AM
4	"...one of my main objections to the book is 'Who the hell cares what these women or anyone else thinks, who died and made them the arbiter of manhood?'"--A self-proclaimed feminist's surprisingly excellent critique of a disgusting example of how men are treated in the media I'm in agreement and highly entertained by her rant. Thanks.	/r/MensRights	01/10/10 06:23 PM
