At one point we had to create an archive bot for text posts. We had a bunch of incidents where original text posts were edited to make us look bad. I remember that, and losing any respect I had held for them. So no. As much as I'd love to have a lively debate on /r/FeMRADebates, I will not participate in a subreddit where comments are routinely deleted, or where you have feminists dictating the rules of engagement. I'm a pretty frequent poster there, and a lurker here on /r/MensRights. I totally…

If you will refer to my previous comment, you will see that I wasn't talking about borders, but Trump's branding of illegal immigrants as rapists, without evidence that they commit rape more than any other person. I was talking about your support for a ban on same sex marriage. Saying that more people should be allowed to be married isn't supporting marriage, and nontraditional marriages are going to make it easier to change the idea of marriage with the man as the wallet, IMO. While there are e…

Better security, you're just taking his word that his SUPER AWESOME SECRET plan is more fleshed out than any of his other 'positions'. Doubt it. Better economy--actual economists are saying that Hillary Clinton's a better president for the economy. Trade wars actually aren't good for the economy. Abandoning troops--eight investigations into Benghazi, and basically they turned up the possibility that she initially identified the cause wrong. That's it.

Trump is the guy who wants maternity leave only, which favors women. Clinton wants leave that is open to the man as well. Trump wants "a whole lot more" than waterboarding. US torture victims are mostly or all men as far as we can tell. That doesn't seem pro-rights. Trump branded illegal Mexican immigrants as "rapists", that certainly doesn't apply to both genders equally, either in how he meant it or in how it was received. Clinton may not be the dream woman of people who care about men's right…

Yes, transgender people are mentally ill--they have gender dysphoria and transitioning is a possible treatment. They are also doing quite a bit more than changing their clothes, as they have the hormones of the sex they are transitioning to. FtM will for example grow beards.

I recognized your name from /r/femradebates and I thought that I could have a decent discussion with you, but you're making it really fucking hard, dude. You explicitly list bodily autonomy as a right women don't have. What are you doing here? Why are you denying it now? I'm not. It's not in any way analogous to Earth. In fact, I don't think it was helpful at all. If you think that it's supposed to be analogous to Earth, then you didn't understand it. What exactly do you think I was trying to sa…

Yes, and to that question you replied bodily autonomy. I'm explaining that you're wrong due to women having more bodily autonomy than men. If my argument was that women have less bodily autonomy than men, then you'd be correct. Planet redblue is there to show that having more rights doesn't mean that you have all rights. It also is meant to show that even if some people don't mind lacking rights, it doesn't mean that they don't lack them. It isn't meant to be directly analogous to Earth. I stand…

This is a great response to a comment that I never made. Let's say that on planet redblue, there are the reds and the blues. The reds are slaves and have no say in anything that happens to them, and anything their owner desires can happen to them, besides being granted citizenship. The blues aren't allowed free speech, due process, or a vote, since planet redblue is a vicious dictatorship. So the reds have it worse, but tell me, do the blues lack any rights?

Women have more bodily autonomy than men. Men do not have the bodily autonomy not to be circumcised without consent or to stay out of war if the govt calls on them. The question was what right women don't have, not what rights men don't have. Abortion is being heavily restricted right now in various countries, and some states in the US are moving towards de facto bans.
/r/MensRights03/03/15 06:46 PM

Plenty of states in the US are moving towards a de facto ban by making it extremely hard for an abortion clinic to operate.

The armchair lawyer in me agrees.
/r/MensRights28/09/14 05:26 PM

At least in the US, the person making the claim must: Make a false assertion. Know that the assertion is false. Being found "not guilty" does not mean that someone did or did not do something. If someone reasonably believes that the person is guilty, then it is not illegal to say that they did the crime. So, if you think for some reason that David Futrelle is any of those things, you probably don't have to worry about if there was a court case, and if there was, what the outcome was.

Plenty, as far as I can tell. It's easy to notice the people who are very open, even aggressively so, with their sexuality. People who are discreet about it by definition won't wear it on their sleeve. Look at /r/sex and some of the surveys on there. Admittedly there will be some bias. Here is another example. Plenty of people are kinky in bed. If anything, people who are trustworthy are less prevalent.
/r/PurplePillDebate02/07/14 02:10 AM

The same could be said of men. Men want a pornstar in the bedroom, but a dainty trustworthy non-horny women outside the bedroom. Both men AND women have to settle for a balance of sexuality and practicality. Agreed on what men want, but if we rephrase that as men wanting someone who is kinky, but trustworthy and discreet, then we can preserve the core meaning while saying it in a way that isn't contradictory.

Solutions were – at least by the halfway point of the weekend's debate – harder to define. And though there was a general agreement that men might benefit from doing more cooking and having less access to pornography, by spending not quantity but quality time at home, and by talking about it all, there was also an inevitable sense of preaching to the converted. That's it! Men would stop killing themselves if they had more pent-up sexual frustration and were fatter! How didn't we see it?

Too bad I only made it far enough to sift through the preview on Amazon. If you look at my replies to the above comment, you'll see that there was actually a lot in the preview. Most of the studies cited were early to mid-eighties, so we can say that those number were about 30 years old. They also surveyed college campuses, if that matters.

As I was browsing, I found another little gem. ...experts estimate that 10 percent of the victims coming to rape-crisis centers are male ... almost all male rape victims have been raped by other men ... women do rape ... a few women have raped men ... the number of women who rape men is infinitesimally small.

You make a few good points at first, though you can't really deny that gender and class don't exist in a vacuum, or that it goes beyond what you listed. Guilt by proxy. Some men--lower class, usually--have been betrayed by other men--upper class. At least as far as war and politics. It's the same line of logic as "well, most perpetrators of violence are men, so you need to stop doing that to yourself." Next, women enforce these things too! Again, I won't detail every instance, though there is pl…

This right here is a fairly typical response, but it's rooted in wrong assumptions about what class conflict implies. The concern is not "can" or "can't" or "does" or "doesn't", it's systemics. Discrimination against men? That can't happen, even if it has been proven that society at large does it and it is not just an isolated case. That was what I thought about "systemics." For instance, to take something out of your post, there is bias in the legal system.

The problem is that while Patriarchy is certainly a useful framework, it's incomplete. I haven't taken any gender studies courses, but from my own readings, Patriarchy appears to be based in class conflict theory. The problem here is that conflict theory doesn't tell the whole story, especially when it is in one direction. Patriarchy is not the grand unifying theory of how genders interact, despite the efforts of some (feminists, mostly) to use it as such. This becomes particularly obvious when …

Blacks are much more likely to grow up in nearly all black ghettos. As for language, what we think of as inner city black dialect is a disadvantage, and so many blacks need to change their language to do business. Drugs: despite coke and crack being almost the same thing, the punishment for crack is much harsher. Crack is a popular among blacks, and coke among whites.

Explain the sentencing disparity between crack and coke. That's not enforcement, that's targeting. Explain ghettos. Explain being forced to do business in a language other than what you grew up with.

I had been gaining sympathies for a while, both from the frustrating responses to mens issues in feminist circles I received and from reading /r/MensRights.

white male privilege There are two common ways this term is used. "Why don't black people just stop breaking the law, then they would be equal to whites."

Just one thing: in Arver vs. United States, the argument in favor of upholding the draft had a lot to do with the idea of rights and responsibilities; so it's important to note that while the draft was not justification for giving men the vote, men having a vote is part of the reason that the supreme court upheld the draft. Therefore, the two things are indeed linked.

Here's the thing. Let's say we have a group, and this group is always going on about violent things black people do to Latina people. It's practically all that they talk about.

Probably a draft, which would get enough support and kill a lot of men. But war with Iran or NK is highly unlikely, they have China backing them. And war with someone else is even less likely. Bottom line, the Republicans have their limits and so does Obama (which are looser). And anything anyone does will have a backlash, so no one can actually get away with something radical even if they wanted to. The only reason feminists have gotten this far is because of lack of attention.

I have to wonder about the veracity of some of this advice. First of all, the most likely person to rape you isn't a stranger. Second, rapists don't discriminate based on clothing. (Can dig up links if you need proof, would rather not, though.) Third, most of these self-defense tips are pretty worthless in an actual fight, as you wouldn't get a good chance to use them.

No, that's bull. If one gender is 75% of X, why would one make help for that gender only? I don't see it as a problem unless they don't receive 75% of care for X, or unless they need special care, in which case they can get a small amount of that on top of the gender-neutral stuff.

I wouldn't say that you deserve any social vilification, but I wouldn't say that it's fair to say it requires equal attention if one gender's problems are more sever than the other's. Thing is, many feminists use that as an excuse to absolutely and utterly ignore men's issues, often backing up their assertion that one happens more than the other with faulty statistics.

men will still never know the feeling of your body being legislated against Which is why they legislated that it's perfectly fine to cut a useful and functioning part of my penis off? And it has caused me trouble. being left out of the conversation regarding your repro rights You mean like how men have no say in what happens to their child while in the womb? (That's more biological anyways.) Or how family courts are heavily biased in favor of women? Just as you all can't be lumped into one group…

In law, assault is a crime which involves causing a victim to apprehend violence. The term is often confused with battery, which involves physical contact. The specific meaning of assault varies between countries, but can refer to an act that causes another to apprehend immediate and personal violence, or in the more limited sense of a threat of violence caused by an immediate show of force.[1][2] Assault in some US jurisdictions[which?] is defined more broadly still as any intentional physical …

Really, the ignorance is astounding. Pretty much getting in the way, touching, or talking to someone, or making someone afraid that you might do so is assault in the right situation. I doubt that he'll get more than a fine and maybe a week or two in jail. Edit: and actually harming them is battery.

The best way to do this is to stick around for a while. In short, feminism may claim to be for equal rights, but they instead want equal rights for women.

In my opinion, you have fallen for a typical trick: begging the question.

Fascinating, TheAtlantic! You mean to say that creating hormone imbalances to sub-optimal levels results in decreased performance? Who would have guessed!

I think that in general, many have very outdated views on sex. It's important to note that everyone is different, has different preferences, and will therefore have different behavior.

Some are happy being monogamous, some aren't. Honestly, I dislike slut shaming, just like I dislike virgin-shaming or shaming for not having enough sex. None …

By the way, partial birth abortion doesn't mean aborting a healthy, viable baby that's in the process of being born. It generally refers to forcing a miscarriage early on in the pregnancy, which can be necessary if the baby becomes too large. It doesn't mean that it was a viable fetus.

For most feminists, you can just try not to bring the subject up, try to find some common ground or smart arguments, or anything, really, and get along without too much fuss. Some radical feminists have a world-view so different from anything that a MRA could have that there really isn't anything that I could tell you, other than to avoid them as much as possible and report threats or clear cut hate-speech to the proper people.

I'm not sure what they want to accomplish. There are billions of people who have visited the internet at some point or other, of course you will find shocking comments. The writers are probably too disturbed and anonymous to stop their actions based on being called out. Some people will say shocking things online. For instance, someone started a game of starcraft by saying they would rape, kill, and eat my whole family. Did I freak out? No, I just brushed it off. (Though reporting them wouldn't …

I'm from the USA and things are similar (only being penetrated is considered rape). I don't know who came up with the idea (it probably existed before the feminist movement). I hate the idea that men can't be raped. It is even more irritating that penis in vagina (what sex is all about) is considered rape if it's man attacking woman, but isn't if it's woman attacking man. Take the exact same action, flip the genders, and suddenly it's different. Talk about double standards!

Anything with alcohol means that she is much more likely to be taken advantage of. Be sure that she realizes the effects of alcohol.

At present, filling a combat role is something that the US doesn't let women do, even if they want to. Some in the armed forces who fill those roles wouldn't have it any other way, and would be angry if someone tried to take it away from them. Talk to those people about whether or not being allowed to fill combat positions is good or bad. Talk to those people about whether or not they would be missing out if that privilege was taken away from them. Try asking them if they came out for the better…

The reason is that the draft is used primarily to fill combat positions, which women aren't allowed in. The real reason that men have to sign up and women don't is that women are discriminated against, as backwards as that sounds.

No. The question being asked here isn't about how the law should be. It's about if the law--the same exact words--should apply differently to women. E.G. the words in some law "you shall not eat steak on monday" would apply to men as read, but women would get an exemption, NOT because the exemption is law but because women deserve special treatment (so it would be illegal but not enforced, would stand up in court, etc.).
