5	Dear r/MensRights: Why do universities always supply women's centers, centers for various minorities, but there are very few men's centers? Yeah, my school had one of these, and a women's senator on student government. As a representative myself, I spoke against it, but met trouble... (1) Donations come in for women's empowerment, groups, etc, from either institutional or individual donors. The university wants all the money it can get. The women's center organizes how to spend that money to the specification of the donor. In my time I never saw or heard of any donation or scholarship targeted toward males. Is this a problem? Yes. I…	/r/MensRights	27/07/10 07:36 PM
1	Dear r/MensRights: Why do universities always supply women's centers, centers for various minorities, but there are very few men's centers? It's also not always the institution itself. I used to be on student government - women's centers (and for that matter the clubs and support groups, whatever) make a LOT of money. The institution wants to use that money. The women's center finds a way to use whatever donation comes in to whatever specification the donor provided. I had never seen a donation to improve the lives and "empowerment" of men.	/r/MensRights	27/07/10 07:32 PM
1	Who else is disgusted by this Well, if you can't figure out if your partner's a bitch, you might be too skeptical of her (...or him, actually), honestly.	/r/MensRights	08/07/10 10:53 PM
–	Who else is disgusted by this Sucks my dad was pretending that whole time. Oh, well.	/r/MensRights	08/07/10 08:13 PM
–	Who else is disgusted by this So men never want to have children?	/r/MensRights	08/07/10 07:24 PM
–	Who else is disgusted by this Marry someone who isn't a cunning bitch who wants to run you out for your money. Chances are if SHE suggests a pre-nup or very easily will agree to it, she's not out to run your money out.	/r/MensRights	08/07/10 07:23 PM
–	Single guys out there, do yourself a favor and read this. Huh. For one, I need to do my homework. I was misinformed. Secondly, I still think changes are needed to fix the problems that exist in marriage, whether or not they are recent changes. Women should have the same qualms about marriage as men do.	/r/MensRights	25/02/10 10:53 AM
–	Single guys out there, do yourself a favor and read this. The problem, I see, is that marriage hasn't changed along with society in the last half-century. Marriage itself is not to blame, a lack of update in the legal status of it is. That list of risks should be for both partners. Prenuptuals should be mandatory. Men and women should be treated completely equally in custody cases. Alimony payments should be thrown out or the laws completely rewritten. A partner should be able to ask for, and receive a divorce without having to argue a case in court (w…	/r/MensRights	25/02/10 10:28 AM
5	Harry Reid bashes men, but he has a (D) beside his name, so it's cool, right? I wish people would more often think before they talk. This politician is an idiot. I hope he loses his job in the next election. Also, when a politician expresses an opinion, it is going to be interpreted as a fact, whether that politician is qualified to state it or not. Hell, I learned this in college "student government." Making statements like Reid did is bullshit. If Reid would have said, "A 2004 report prepared under a National Institute of Justice grant found that domestic violence again…	/r/MensRights	25/02/10 10:20 AM
–	Single guys out there, do yourself a favor and read this. About "I deserve it" - well, in some cases I think everyone needs to treat themselves. I would say that all people deserve things they find fun or restful sometimes. The way it's presented here, I disagree with, though - a balanced budget would include money for each partner to do something they "deserve."	/r/MensRights	25/02/10 10:07 AM
3	Misandrist mothers: the next (current?) wave of feminism. ha ha. I mean things like "my kid will be a football player" or "my kid will be a doctor" not expectations of happiness that can be achieved through many different means.	/r/MensRights	15/10/09 02:13 PM
9	Misandrist mothers: the next (current?) wave of feminism. Expecting anything specific out of your kids only leads to hurt.	/r/MensRights	15/10/09 06:09 AM
5	Misandrist mothers: the next (current?) wave of feminism. She probably does. My parents were all set up for a boy, and I ended up being female (doctors made a mistake). Though I've heard the story, know what my name would have been if I had been male, and heard some stuff about my parents wanting a boy, they still love me. Chances are she's just curious, and would have been curious about it even if the doctors hadn't messed up their gender diagnosis.	/r/MensRights	15/10/09 06:08 AM
2	American abortion addict boasts of 15 terminations in 17 years. I can't believe that she wouldn't use another form of birth control at any time. It sounds like this woman is seriously unbalanced, and the abortion clinics should have recommended her for mental help. I also can't believe that she's still physically able to conceive after that many abortions.	/r/MensRights	14/10/09 02:38 AM
1	'When I go on a date, I leave the man's contact info so the cops can find my body if I go missing' Yeah. No matter where I go I generally give my housemates or friends an idea of where I am in case something happens. A date would be no different. EDIT: I guess I should say that "something happens" can be anything from I crash my car late at night to being attacked.	/r/MensRights	13/10/09 08:00 PM
2	Vaccinating boys not cost effective. Plenty of things aren't cost-effective. I have a smallpox vaccine in an age where children are no longer vaccinated against smallpox because the contact risk is so low. I doubt I will ever come into contact with measles, mumps, or rubella. I don't think I would have gotten the flu last year even without my flu shot. Just because it may not be cost-effective doesn't mean it shouldn't be an option.	/r/MensRights	09/10/09 02:58 PM
8	A university report has claimed that while men welcomed a male contraceptive pill, women said their partners could not be trusted to take one regularly. I don't understand why this is a problem. If you don't want children, there's a pill for that - now for both sexes. If a woman does not want to get pregnant, she can take precautions. If this pill is released and a man doesn't want to get someone pregnant, he can take precautions, too.	/r/MensRights	05/10/09 05:41 AM
4	A girl tried to tell me that 1 in 3 women are raped in their lifetime, and that women are paid less than men because of discrimination. I can't find the articles that were here that refute this. Help, please. I know pretty much nothing about the law in that case other than "someone can't give consent while drunk." And that fact I got from a college orientation assistant training session, so it may be a college or local law.	/r/MensRights	23/09/09 04:58 PM
4	A girl tried to tell me that 1 in 3 women are raped in their lifetime, and that women are paid less than men because of discrimination. I can't find the articles that were here that refute this. Help, please. ...maybe. I think women are less likely to claim rape than that. Out of all the discussions I've had, I've only met two women who claimed they had been raped (one I believed). Maybe statutory rape? Even though it wasn't rape outside of the legal definition? Or perhaps just having sex while drunk, which would also legally be rape, even if the woman had intended to do it? Even then, the 1/3 figure seems entirely too high.	/r/MensRights	23/09/09 03:06 PM
1	Is anyone else sick of looking for a place to live and having nearly 75% of them say "females only" Alright, I finally got an answer from my mom - and I'm wrong (this is what I get for tuning my mom out when she talks a lot!). She says that most listings advertising for roommates are private, not public, and if something like that were to come up, chances are it would be proven to be a "private advertisement" in court, unless you're doing something like putting up signs, handing out flyers, or something that is highly public. She also mentioned that she's never heard of a case of housing discr…	/r/MensRights	23/09/09 02:43 PM
1	Is anyone else sick of looking for a place to live and having nearly 75% of them say "females only" Don't worry, it's not a problem. You got me sorta curious, too.	/r/MensRights	21/09/09 03:54 AM
1	Is anyone else sick of looking for a place to live and having nearly 75% of them say "females only" I'll have to ask her, but she's probably asleep by now. I'm really not sure about the legality of that. EDIT: Essentially, I'll call and ask tomorrow, and reply again with what she says.	/r/MensRights	21/09/09 03:37 AM
2	Is anyone else sick of looking for a place to live and having nearly 75% of them say "females only" Ideally the house itself has a keyed-entry after the entryway/atrium. I think if it did not, you could discriminate against who you allow access to. My mom had at one point mentioned that a common gray area is when a bedroom has a separate key. If you have a separate bedroom, and your bedroom has a separate key, then you can't discriminate legally when choosing who can move into the other bedrooms (but it happens in practice a lot since you'd have to share a common area/kitchen/et cetera). So, t…	/r/MensRights	21/09/09 03:26 AM
5	Is anyone else sick of looking for a place to live and having nearly 75% of them say "females only" My mom used to work in real estate law, so I know something about how this works in New Jersey. It's basically where that person has keyed entry to. If you're sharing a living space/apartment with that person, you can choose that person using whatever criteria you want. If there's a separate locked-off apartment, room, or living space in your house, you can't discriminate.	/r/MensRights	21/09/09 03:06 AM
1	Is anyone else sick of looking for a place to live and having nearly 75% of them say "females only" More people need to understand this.	/r/MensRights	21/09/09 12:53 AM
6	Is anyone else sick of looking for a place to live and having nearly 75% of them say "females only" It is legal for someone to choose who they live with. They're not providing a place to rent out, they are sharing their own living space. If they were putting a separate, rentable living space on the market, this would be clearly illegal, but you can and may choose who lives in your personal space with you on any basis you desire.	/r/MensRights	20/09/09 11:23 PM
10	Is anyone else sick of looking for a place to live and having nearly 75% of them say "females only" Their opinion is bullshit, but I've heard it before - I am also female. This is a big reason that people discriminate based on gender; the opinions or feared opinions of others. I live exclusively with males because my experience with females is that they create unnecessary drama, need to be my "friend" to live with me, or so on. Granted, not all females are like this, but it has made me tend toward male roommates. I've had people look at my boyfriend in surprise when I mention my roommate in co…	/r/MensRights	20/09/09 11:21 PM
