| 5 | Sat here in the middle of my lecture and I need to vent.Extra support, extra grants, extra visibility, extra encouragement. If it were JUST this, I'd have less of an issue.

I see them occasionally, and I doubt I can teach them to not act like bitches, so I just what I be what I do. The word is "no" and it will set you free.

Looks like I failed, shit, my apologies. I surely wasn't telling you what to call yourself, but rather what people will hear when you say it. I've had more than a few folks call me feminist in the last few years when it comes up, and maybe by their view I am, but I'm not seeing the connection to what is being put out by the big feminist voices. Call yourself what you like, but don't expect that people will hear exactly what you … | /r/MensRights | 27/01/16 11:58 AM |

Seriously I sympathize with you, but I think you don't understand that feminism is an ideology built on the fundamental dogma that women always have it worse, and this doesn't reflect reality. Like others, I've heard enough of the "silent majority" Bullshit, I didn't believe it when describing the Christian right in the USA and I don't believe it here.

Admissions are heavily stacked against men....MGM tho... nuclear-explosion.png I chuckled, because I have to laugh about some of the darkest shit mankind is willing to inflict on itself. Seriously, it's too depressing/enraging otherwise. And I completely agree; I'm happy you're adding perspective to the problems, it's not at all cynical. If you're going to college at all, at least something is going right, not just ivy league (although my guess is it may be more than just the top tier schools doing this).

Admissions are heavily stacked against men.What I'm concerned about is suicide rates, domestic violence, genital mutilation, paternity rights, alimony, child support. Don't get me wrong, if you held a rally about this and it took place in my town, I'd still show up - but let's be real here. There are bigger issues. Totally agree, but that doesn't mean there isn't room in the MRM for folks who think this is an important and pressing issue. I realize you said you'd show up to a rally, but drumming the same points can lead to fatigue and pe… | /r/MensRights | 18/01/16 06:29 PM |
| 0 | It's not just scholarships. Admissions are heavily stacked against men.Interesting, there may be acceptance bias, and these numbers suggest there is. However, this also might be a result of "self-selection" or "efficacy" bias, which I don't know if we can see in the raw numbers. By this, I mean it could just be that of the women might lack confidence that they would even be accepted to these schools because their applications are weak, so they don't apply unless they feel like they are certain to get accepted, leading to an overall higher "quality" of female applic… | /r/MensRights | 18/01/16 05:45 PM |

| 3 | Should we be doing more to expose paternity fraud?I totally agree that most kids are raised by biological parents. And I also think market forces could be a good dover for this. However, I'm trying to view this from the standpoint of the father that doesn't know he has a child, not the other man raising said child. If I had a child, I'd want to know and I think I have a right to be the father of my child (with some caveats of course like non abusive, stable life, actually want kids, etc. ) | /r/MensRights | 15/11/15 01:55 AM |
| 2 | Should we be doing more to expose paternity fraud?most births are of children that were conceived by the two legal guardians. So if we did paternity tests, this would be by and large an unnecessary increase in government spending IIRC manwomanmyth claimed that in some areas of England 1 in 6 children are not raised by the biological father. Granted "most" children are raised by the biological father, but there is a significant proportion that is not. Generally occurs in poor areas, where child support and fatherlessness is already a problem. No… | /r/MensRights | 15/11/15 01:31 AM |

I was not asked this. Upon discharge, the nurse joked that my wife needs to stop kicking my butt so hard. I love in the south, I get that there will be some double standards and I'm not particularly bothered with them, as I realize men and women are different.

| 2 | Boy Scouts of America holds the line against the elimination of an all male space; refuses entry to girls' denThis is a great point. Your previous posts about them already behaving as good scouts sounds like a pie in the sky platitude to me and I don't think that is a reason to let them join. It's just too similar to, "well he's great at volleyball, why doesn't he join the team?!" Or "I already exercise daily, why can't I go to the women's only gym?" "I know how to take a shit and the ladies room is just a better fit for me". The fact that women are already allowed is a much better arguing point, but I … | /r/MensRights | 30/10/15 10:54 AM |
| 3 | Boy Scouts of America holds the line against the elimination of an all male space; refuses entry to girls' denI think we are witnessing the fact that somewhere around 20% of any population will be "mold breakers" and not be satisfied with what satisfies the other 80%. I think this tends to be at issue in small communities, where that 20% is on the order of tens to hundreds of people, who then cannot get together as a result of sparse population density. It's unfortunate, but damn, sometimes life is tough. | /r/MensRights | 29/10/15 09:43 PM |
| 4 | Boy Scouts of America holds the line against the elimination of an all male space; refuses entry to girls' denThere is a common theme in many threads here: the loss of male only spaces. Many here, but not all, recognize that men and women - while largely similar - have several important distinctions. Accordingly, men and women have a different set of needs. One need they share is interaction with members of the same gender as well as interactions with mixed genders. Men and boys need spaces of just men and boys in order to learn about men and boys, full stop. I can only speak for myself, but I would be … | /r/MensRights | 29/10/15 09:34 PM |
| 13 | Boy Scouts of America holds the line against the elimination of an all male space; refuses entry to girls' denIt's unfortunate that you're being downvoted when you are (I think obviously) adding to the discussion. I disagree wholeheartedly with you, however, and think that some instances of gender segregation is needed. We see instances where it is needed for girls, and thus, we are rather forced to accept that this is also needed for boys. It doesn't matter if some kid has a hearing aid, if some kid is gay, or if some kid is a girl. It just doesn't matter. This is flatly wrong. Boys and girls are diffe… | /r/MensRights | 29/10/15 05:07 PM |

Another Eagle here, and I did plenty of stuff with campfire as well, it was super fun and is about getting kids to play together and interact with nature simultaneously. The BSA is partly about this, but has larger components as well. What these folks desire already exists, but just has a different name that they don't like. | /r/MensRights | 29/10/15 04:55 PM |

I have an update and some tips about what the MRM can do to better itself.I'm tired of seeing some feminist say something horribly sexist, have the MRAs descend on the article or post or whatever, have everyone yell the usual stuff, and lather, rinse, repeat Ditto. For me, I've stopped trying to rebut feminists and silly claims, and am sticking to men's issues only. However, even that can be frustrating when I hear, "well, why don't men do something about it?!" | /r/MensRights | 24/03/15 02:56 PM |

Yay NSF funded programs! The men in the group were constantly given the "of course you all are different". I learned to just tune it out, fighting it risks my future, and I wasn't going to change the director's mind, she grew up in a different era.

| 1 | Men can say "no" tooAh, I was confused, it sounded like you were condoning that behavior, rather than just explaining it (that you were rationalizing the behavior in a way to say we should not just expect it, but tolerate it), which was the root of my "bone to pick at" as well. Misunderstanding resolved on my end! I guess that's the rationale for needing to point these things out, to try ad shed light on a blind spot. | /r/MensRights | 27/10/13 10:25 AM |

I agree that if you don't ever think about anything, it will be difficult to change, but that hardly makes those actions tolerable.

In prison it's totally acceptable for someone to violently rape someone else, to say they did so publicly, and they are still welcomed into that society.
