13	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo "Men need to install barriers to their own success, so that women can and will want to compete with them for positions of leadership." Where did this quote come from? I can't find it in the article.	/r/MensRights	27/05/13 10:59 PM
3	"All your life you are told by others what it means to be a real man..." -Paul Elam It has can have far more meaning attached to it. If you're attaching that baggage whenever the word is used you're going to have frequent misunderstandings.	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 02:11 PM
5	"All your life you are told by others what it means to be a real man..." -Paul Elam No matter the context? You're saying that the word for male human can't be used without all that baggage? I obviously disagree. Context is an essential part of language and communication.	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 05:30 AM
5	This Was on CNN's Front Page Is that the legal definition of rape somewhere? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_regarding_rape	/r/MensRights	25/03/13 01:51 AM
1	Don't be THAT girl - 2 I agree. Thanks for your thoughts.	/r/MensRights	30/12/12 10:31 AM
5	Don't be THAT girl - 2 Yes, that sounds like rape. edit: By the way, you'll need to ask someone else if you want a mra perspective. I do not consider myself a male rights activist but rather a human rights advocate.	/r/MensRights	30/12/12 10:09 AM
4	Don't be THAT girl - 2 Rape as defined by you: "Come on honey let's do it tonight" "No, I'm not in the mood" "Come on it's my birthday" "I said no" "Just a quickie" "Ok, fine"	/r/MensRights	30/12/12 09:44 AM
1	Don't be THAT girl - 2 I think our misunderstanding is due to semantics. You are using terms that are so broad (ie. have a wide range of potential meaning) that your scenarios could be interpreted as either rape or not rape depending on the interpretation of your terms. Can you imagine a scenario (and therefore a definition of "pressured") in which a person was "pressured" into having sex (and did had sex) without having been raped?	/r/MensRights	30/12/12 08:36 AM
10	Don't be THAT girl - 2 That would be true if you replaced "pressured" with "forced." I'm sure there are lots of people who have been pressured into sex (whether begged/nagged/etc) when they aren't in the mood. That is not rape unless it is non-consensual. EDIT: Added the last 4 words.	/r/MensRights	30/12/12 07:36 AM
12	Don't be THAT girl - 2 men think if they pressure a woman so much that she finally caves and gives in, it was consensual. It wasn't. It was rape. That is nonsense.	/r/MensRights	30/12/12 04:11 AM
