4	Living in a female dominated world OP, as someone else said, daily interactions is different than dating relationships.	/r/MensRights	23/04/26 07:15 PM
1	Why is it that a woman wants you to fufill and stay in your gender role but she doesn't have to? When/if a guy focuses on women who match his philosophy, then loud idle chatter becomes irrelevant. Main thing is to help educate other men avoid the traps.	/r/MensRights	14/04/26 08:28 PM
1	How do you think men can protect themselves from false allegations, and what changes would you make to the system to better protect them? So move away and watch things burn from afar?	/r/MensRights	14/04/26 02:22 AM
1	How do you think men can protect themselves from false allegations, and what changes would you make to the system to better protect them? I think the LEO approach would be interesting. However, we always have to factor in our location. Some people live in those "at-will" jurisdictions where an employer can literally fire them for no reason at all. That's its own big issue. Seems like we have to address multiple layers of the onion... Men need to have “the talk” with their sons, not just about the birds and bees, but also the she’s and fees. Because rarely is it explained that the choices you make with women can come with real cons…	/r/MensRights	13/04/26 08:57 PM
2	Men are conditioned to worship female approval What do those guys gain by chasing and seeking approval from such women?	/r/MensRights	13/04/26 06:56 PM
2	Men are conditioned to worship female approval What do you think is the root of desperation? We can see guys getting played on dating apps or lusting after random girls on IG or Snap. Or making random OF girls rich. This goes beyond chasing dopamine.	/r/MensRights	13/04/26 06:37 PM
1	Men are conditioned to worship female approval If you had a nephew or cousin who's in his 20's/30's and stuck in this trap, how would you help him develop self-respect and standards?	/r/MensRights	13/04/26 06:33 PM
1	How do you think men can protect themselves from false allegations, and what changes would you make to the system to better protect them? Remote work and date abroad, or just remote work and avoid the day-to-day in-person office politics?	/r/MensRights	12/04/26 05:23 AM
2	How do you think men can protect themselves from false allegations, and what changes would you make to the system to better protect them? How would you address #1? I agree with #2. It feels like things get balkanized depending on the environment.	/r/MensRights	12/04/26 05:22 AM
1	How do you think men can protect themselves from false allegations, and what changes would you make to the system to better protect them? Similar to how it is for law enforcement officers in officer involved shootings? Paid administrative review/suspension, and let the legal case play out? Do you think this turns into a feedback loop? A man chooses a woman based on looks or whatever. If he chooses a woman who was infantilized, then between him and the mother, they end up repeating the same cycle. So it’s not just about who’s good for him in the moment. It’s also about choosing someone who is actually capable, or at least has the p…	/r/MensRights	12/04/26 04:53 AM
1	How do you think men can protect themselves from false allegations, and what changes would you make to the system to better protect them? If the process is the punishment, do you accept that… or figure out how to move smarter within it? Especially if you had a son or nephew watching you. If men are going to get into relationships, they need to start looking at them like an investment. That means thinking about both short-term and long-term risk, not just how something feels in the moment. Who is actually worth your time, attention, money, and sacrifice.	/r/MensRights	12/04/26 04:08 AM
8	Men are conditioned to worship female approval How is religion supposed to help?	/r/MensRights	10/04/26 02:18 AM
6	Men are conditioned to worship female approval There's a difference between providing for and protecting your children and family, and caping up for some random woman. A lot of guys just attach their identity to roles like provider or protector, so when that gets challenged, they don’t really have a clue who they are without it.	/r/MensRights	10/04/26 01:30 AM
2	if masculinity is strong then why is it so fragile? You’re describing a real pattern, but you’re skipping why it happens. A lot of men were never actually developed, just told to perform masculinity. Performative and theatrical versions of what masculinity is supposed to look like. So when their identity is built on status, control, or being “the provider,” anything that disrupts that feels like a threat. Real strength isn’t about needing someone to be smaller. It’s about being grounded enough that someone else’s success doesn’t shake you. The is…	/r/MensRights	10/04/26 01:03 AM
13	Men are conditioned to worship female approval That's a defeatist attitude.	/r/MensRights	10/04/26 12:53 AM
20	Men are conditioned to worship female approval So, how do you think men can help other men escape it?	/r/MensRights	10/04/26 12:18 AM
1	I don't think men and women will truly ever understand and care about each other You’re not obligated to do anything. I just asked you a question. However unlike a lot of people, I'm not interested in talking about issues until I'm blue in the face. I prefer to identify the reasons and then look for solutions to the problems. Not just talk about them. Yeah, men are pushed toward risk, duty, and providing. And yes, men have often been positioned as expendable in defense and labor. I can acknowledge that a lot of men’s issues get overlooked or ignored. But it’s still men’s res…	/r/MensRights	08/04/26 12:26 AM
0	I don't think men and women will truly ever understand and care about each other Okay, so you've identified some problems. What are your solutions to addressing and fixing them? Would you prefer for there to be no conscription requirements for men, or where both men and women have to do it?	/r/MensRights	06/04/26 02:25 AM
0	I don't think men and women will truly ever understand and care about each other So you want to say that men don't look at women to fulfill any role? What men are giving up their lives for women and what is 100% privilege?	/r/MensRights	06/04/26 01:19 AM
4	A ‘masculinity crisis’ is brewing in UK schools, union says I would call it a femininity crisis, but I get your point.	/r/MensRights	05/04/26 11:02 PM
1	"Take it like a man" ????? Yeah, I get what you’re saying, but there’s a difference between falling apart and being human. Society will push and pull you in different directions, but every man needs his own philosophy. If someone sees you in one real moment and suddenly decides you’re unreliable, then that says more about how they judge people than your actual stability. Anyone can look solid when life is smooth. We see this in sports when winning teams start losing, and the facade vanishes. True reliability isn't about p…	/r/MensRights	05/04/26 07:54 AM
10	I don't think men and women will truly ever understand and care about each other It’s not that men and women can’t understand each other. It’s that both sides are trained to see each other as roles, not people. Men get reduced to providers, women get reduced to validation, and once that happens everything becomes transactional. So of course it starts to feel like no one actually cares. That’s not a gender problem, it’s a systemic problem. When either side ignores the other’s issues, the quality drops for everyone, including the dating pool. Women caring are men's issues give…	/r/MensRights	29/03/26 07:43 AM
28	"Take it like a man" ????? Men weren’t taught to hide emotions for no reason. They were taught that if they fall apart, things fall apart. People lose respect for you. People stop relying on you. You become the problem instead of the solution. So “take it like a man” became survival, not ideology. The real issue isn’t that men don’t feel. It’s that no one really taught them how to process things without losing their role. That’s the trap.	/r/MensRights	29/03/26 06:16 AM
13	The gender pay gap doesn't exist The so-called gender pay gap isn’t really men vs women. It’s continuous workers vs interrupted careers. A lot of the difference comes down to work patterns, not discrimination (as people want to claim). When you compare men and women who have never married and never had children, the gap is much smaller and can even reverse. The bigger differences show up after life paths change. Pregnancy, recovery, and raising children often mean time away from work or fewer hours. Men, on average, stay in the…	/r/MensRights	25/03/26 03:02 AM
1	I wrote this article about male suicide and risks for my college newspaper Great work, OP!	/r/MensRights	02/03/26 10:49 PM
1	Are these women ok? What do you think is a viable solution?	/r/MensRights	01/03/26 01:09 AM
16	Social cost of discouraging male emotional openness I think the social cost is bigger than people realize. When boys grow up hearing “man up” or “deal with it,” they don’t stop having emotions. They just learn to bottle them up. Over time that turns into isolation, stress, and not asking for help even when they probably should. That doesn’t just affect individual guys. It spills into relationships, families, work, everything. Bottled-up emotions don’t disappear. They show up as anger, withdrawal, burnout, addiction, or just shutting down. There’s…	/r/MensRights	28/02/26 05:42 PM
1	How stigma affects men seeking therapy or emotional support A lot of men don’t resist help. They resist environments where vulnerability feels weaponized. If mental health spaces felt neutral and genuinely confidential, more men would engage.	/r/MensRights	26/02/26 05:17 AM
1	Would you allow a male babysitter to babysit your child? If the goal is child safety, then vet everyone the same way. Rejecting a trained male while trusting an untrained girl by default is silly. We already understand this in other contexts. Some women prefer a male gynecologist over a female one. Competence and professionalism matter more than gender. And in certain situations, having a man present can actually be a great deterrent. Equal standards. Equal vetting. That’s it.	/r/MensRights	26/02/26 01:31 AM
