The unrealistic expectations placed on men are different than the unrealistic expectations placed on women. Ideally we'd live in a world where everyone is treated fairly and equally, and encouraged to simply be who they are.	/r/MensRights	28/08/21 04:13 AM
0	Tell me you're sexist without telling me you're sexist "Never be weak" is the poster child for toxic masculinity. People will be weak, it's just a part of being human. By telling people they must never be weak, you're encouraging them hide and deny their weakness, which causes them to not seek help, and causes them to then lash out, either at others or themselves. Your response is, quite literally, why suicide is so prevalent among men. Please let other men know that they don't have to be strong all the time. They can relax, they can crumble, they c…	/r/MensRights	28/08/21 02:50 AM
-8	Tell me you're sexist without telling me you're sexist Yes, those things that are toxic about traditional feminity would be toxic femininity. Things like being expected to be demure, unassuming, and dumb are bad for women and they have to work to fix those problems.	/r/MensRights	28/08/21 01:05 AM
-6	Tell me you're sexist without telling me you're sexist No, the problem is with toxic masculinity being a thing that exists. It addresses those things that are often considered to be masculine traits that are bad for men. Every time a father tells their son to "man up", that's toxic masculinity. Healthy masculinity would be teaching the child ways to understand their feelings and respond to whatever situation in constructive ways. Every man who has bought in to the idea that the only viable response to what they dislike has adopted toxic masculinity.…	/r/MensRights	27/08/21 11:48 PM
-3	Tell me you're sexist without telling me you're sexist These comments are a prime example of people not knowing what toxic masculinity is. Toxic masculinity is how we're taught to never be weak, so we wind up committing suicide at a staggering rate because we're told that seeking help is weak.	/r/MensRights	27/08/21 10:33 PM
0	My almost year-old post on Twitter got a pleasant response. You're intentionally missing the point: One person can never use the body of another person without that person's consent to do so. Remove every other consideration, and that's the core issue. If I concede that a fertilized egg is every bit as much a thinking, feeling human as you or me, they still don't have a right to force any other person to let them use their body. I can not force you to donate blood to save the life of someone who is bleeding to death. You can not force me to donate a kidn…	/r/MensRights	19/08/21 11:42 PM

14	My almost year-old post on Twitter got a pleasant response. It's all about bodily autonomy. Even if we accept that a fertilized egg is a complete human being with all of the rights and responsibilities of any other human being, that human has no right to use another's body against their will.	/r/MensRights	19/08/21 06:42 AM

1	Apparently men can't even walk past a woman nowadays Y'all never do anything if you suspect someone is following you? Leaving sex completely out of it, if I think someone is following me home, I'll be extra cautious, and, at some point, am also likely to yell at them. Sometimes misunderstandings happen. The best thing for all of us to do is just move on from them.	/r/MensRights	23/04/21 02:46 AM

12	One of the most embarrassing things about America is how the family court system ALWAYS sides with the mother, no matter how abusive they are. Yeah, alive and free you're there to support your child and fight for their needs.	/r/MensRights	05/09/20 06:44 PM

3	Shared parenting could be new divorce outcome Let me start with a personal anecdote. My ex-wife and I fought all the time. No matter what I did, she would belittle me for it, often in front of the kids. I wasn't any nicer to her, but I did try to not mention her failings in front of our children, although I'm sure I probably did on occasion. There were a lot of arguments. Would it have been better, in my case, for a) the parents to stay together, even though the degree to which they can't stand each other is almost comical, b) argue out a l…	/r/MensRights	02/02/14 11:51 PM

7	I've heard about it, but it finally happened to me. In that particular example, you broke the first rule. You talked to the cops. The police are never there to help you. Ever. There is no exception. Their only function is to build a case to take people to court for violations of the law. If the officer you're interacting with in the hopes of being helped thinks you've broken the law, they will stop helping and start building a case against you, without necessarily telling you that fact.	/r/MensRights	23/08/13 04:41 AM
2	Wildest thing happened last week and i need to vent And this is why the only words to leave your mouth, ever, when dealing with the police, are "I don't answer questions" and "I don't consent to searches or seizures". If you're arrested, add to that list "and I want a lawyer." Then you proceed to STFU.	/r/MensRights	11/04/13 11:16 PM
23	Wildest thing happened last week and i need to vent Even if they do say that, remember that in the Land of the Free, the police can lie to you with impunity.	/r/MensRights	11/04/13 11:10 PM
11	Feminist parenting blogger writes "letter to her sons about stopping rape," full of subtle sexism and consent fallacy. The part that strikes me is the author is telling her sons that they, as boys, have no right to bring up the issue of sex in their relationships. Why is it only the female that gets to be the initiator of a sexual encounter?	/r/MensRights	20/03/13 02:47 PM

1	Arkansas Boy tasered, beaten up and arrested for walking with his mother In my neck of the woods, a couple of brothers were acquitted of murder charges for doing just that. I always wondered how they survived to be arrested for that act of self-defense.	/r/MensRights	06/03/13 09:51 PM
13	Arkansas Boy tasered, beaten up and arrested for walking with his mother It wasn't illegal because the boy resisted it. “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” ― George Orwell, 1984	/r/MensRights	05/03/13 09:32 PM
122	Arkansas Boy tasered, beaten up and arrested for walking with his mother Not wanting to be arrested is now grounds for arrest? The article never indicates he fought the police, and explicitly says he didn't commit any crimes. So he was arrested, beaten, and assaulted with a potentially deadly weapon because he was walking toward a woman and didn't want to be hassled by the cops. Way to go, America.	/r/MensRights	05/03/13 03:04 PM
-4	Husband tricked into believing wife's children were his own wins £25k payout in UK Court. Kids blame him for "Ruining their lives." I understand the choice issue, but I fail to see how being initially tricked in to raising the children would matter once they are teenagers. Having a new fact now may very well change his views of his ex-wife, but why should that have any effect on the established relationship with the children?	/r/MensRights	14/01/13 02:54 AM
-4	Husband tricked into believing wife's children were his own wins £25k payout in UK Court. Kids blame him for "Ruining their lives." Thank you. I have two children. One of them has my DNA and one does not. I love them both equally, and am a father to both equally. I'm far more concerned with what we do together as a family than if they have nucleotides in the same order as me.	/r/MensRights	13/01/13 10:37 PM
6	It's taboo to admit it, but I wish my unborn baby wasn't a beastly boy! This one goes beyond just not liking her possible future boy. She also shows a distaste for her daughter being anything but the perfect little stereotype of what a "girl" should be. God help her if her daughter grows up to be less interested in dresses and dolls than in balls and cars. She'll likewise hate that child for not being " a fashion accessory to mould in your own image, or a crazy idealised image you saw in a magazine."	/r/MensRights	14/12/12 01:55 PM
