1	Absolutely disgusting The system is broken. This is not the fault of women. Thank you for stating this obvious truth. It's easy for us to get drawn into these sorts of issues and lose sight of the basic humanity intrinsic in the vast majority of every man and woman. In our social media-driven echo chambers, we tend to essentialize the Other, driving a narrative of conflict and moral grandstanding. There are terrible people like the lady in OP's clip who will take advantage of faults in any system. These people should…	/r/MensRights	11/03/20 05:53 PM
3	Sexual Victimization by Women Is More Common Than Previously Known - Could we finally be seeing academic acknowledgement of female sexual perpetration? I wasn't aware it was only homosexual pedophile priests in the Catholic Church that were a problem. From what I understand, there were female victims as well. While boys were the majority of victims, one in five were girls, which is far from nothing. I wonder how much of this belief that homosexual priests are solely responsible is rooted in anti-gay bigotry? I'm certainly not saying you have an anti-gay agenda, but the vast majority of media shaping our opinions on the matter seem to focus sole…	/r/MensRights	13/10/17 05:24 PM
16	Woman murders fiance by sabotaging boat to get $250'000 life insurance, tells police "I wanted him dead" and it "felt good knowing he was going to die" - convicted of "unintentional" negligent homicide Is it possible that the prosecutors just wanted a conviction so that the insurance companies don't have to pay out. I certainly have no special knowledge of the details, but from the NY Times article OP shared, it appears she never admitted to killing him, only to that she "wanted him dead" and "felt good knowing he was going to die." Also, here's the final paragraph of the article: After Mr. Viafore’s body was found in the river weeks later, the medical examiner, in a decision that was met with…	/r/MensRights	25/07/17 03:35 PM

Also, turns out she is a fetish dreadlock porn model and her entire family now knows. If US anyifa is anything like EU antifa, then they are against anything and anyone except themselves No doubt, there's plenty of truth in that. Against the dominant social order, hard left libertarianism presents an unreachable "ideal" society (i.e., everything except Antifa) from which its most ardent proponents cast their criticisms, protest, and riot (not to mention over the years numerous Antifa "radicals" in the US have turned out to be police informants and/or agents provocateurs).

1	Did you know that women get cat called? Added: it looks like another guy falls from above but is wearing the same clothes...

3	Did you know that women get cat called? if you watch the left side of the pics as you play them... Exactly.

3	Another delusional ted talk feminist asks that women to be able to report the many times they are "raped" daily, with a simple mouse click. The requirement to write a report on a "rape" is too "oppressive" It seems to me - and you may disagree - that many women behave like this. I'm sure you could do the research, but it seems clear to me that women exploit, bully and still-up mobbing in the workplace and at home. To be honest, if you don't accept this I'd wonder if you've ever been in society at all - anyone who's ever been to school, work of any form of social-interaction would surely recognise this.

I'd rather not make feminism equate with women. Feminists would love it if we would, even if in a negative equation. I'm with you on opposing feminist-led moral panics.

1	Another delusional ted talk feminist asks that women to be able to report the many times they are "raped" daily, with a simple mouse click. The requirement to write a report on a "rape" is too "oppressive" to 'Satanic sex abuse' in the 1990s During the 1980s and early 1990s there were many men involved in exacerbating the Satanic Panic I'm afraid. For example, let's not forget the book Michelle Remembers (1980), which initiated widespread fears and promoted bogus science like repressed memories, was co-written by Lawrence Pazder, who, as a psychiatrist and ostensibly honest investigator, did far more to legitimize the claims of Michelle Smith than Michelle ever did.

Yes, and I'm curious about the role evolution -- our nature -- plays in this. Men are also expected, and expect to protect women who provide them offspring. We are a sexually dimorphic species. Males are substantially more powerful than females. It's taken a long time to get there, millions of years of men protecting and often dying to protect women and their own children. In short: nat…	/r/MensRights	18/08/15 08:13 PM
4	Woman sets sleeping man's groin on fire and films it I'm not sure that lack of empathy with male penis mutilation is due wholly to women not having penises. No doubt a minor part, but I'm fairly sure that young man's mother and other female relatives have no problem being outraged about the actions taken by this violent woman. Men and women seem to have no problem empathizing with close relations of the opposite sex in any number of sex-specific areas, from childbirth to male circumcision. The more interesting question is, why is it so much easier…	/r/MensRights	18/08/15 07:58 PM
6	Woman sets sleeping man's groin on fire and films it Culture certainly plays a part. But I'm also curious as to how much this kind of behavior is influenced by biology, which it must be to some degree? The ease with which far-too-many women seem unwilling or unable to empathize with men, the ease with which they can laugh at such horrifying actions is disturbing to say the least, and is so broad and embedded through society that culture alone seems an insufficient explanation.	/r/MensRights	18/08/15 05:38 PM

After it passed by a 116-to-5 vote in New Zealand's parliament, Gareth Hughes, one of the four Greens MPs to vote against the bill, said it was overly broad and “risks limiting our freedom of expression”. **Edit: That was not meant to be a complete answer, just pointing out it's the only thing approaching a party "breakdown" of the vote in the article.

If we want to improve girl's and women's self-esteem we need to teach them to fight for their value like boys and men are taught. Western society already does that. Women get the best of both worlds.

However, I don't think we could pass laws which would say officers accused of covering up their own misconduct by "misplacing" video evidence are automatically guilty of the crime they are accused of. While absence of video evidence might lead to charges being dropped against those accused, it can't lead to police being considered guilty unfortunately.

This actually appears to not be the case. Evolutionary psychologist Steven Pinker (The Blank Slate, How the Mind Works) has built a strong case against this very common refrain. In short, it's better to not trust one's intuition based on cultural messaging on this. What's needed is to actually look at the evidence. Here's a presentation by Pinker on his findings.

Men's Rights groups don't exist simply to oppose feminists. Men face sexual discrimination in some areas of their lives and sometimes feminists are the cause or working to increase the problem. The only solution is to actively work against feminists in these areas. I think you're exactly correct here. The focus shouldn't be anti-feminism per se. The Men's Rights Movement exists because there are obvious and serious issues unique to men, in which an organized effort is needed to address most effe…	/r/MensRights	22/10/13 12:30 AM
2	Why have young people in Japan stopped having sex? The fact of the matter is, we are very far from fully understanding such human behaviors. Speculations can be informative and useful, but one should never lose sight that they are just that: speculations. While great strides have been made we are nowhere near an understanding of human behavioral evolution and culture which would warrant a confident position one way or the other. (At least I think it wise to be careful and aware of our limited knowledge, particularly when it comes to these issues…	/r/MensRights	21/10/13 07:46 AM
6	Why have young people in Japan stopped having sex? Maybe stuff like this is an instinctual behaviour as way of trying to control our population. Unlikely. If this were the case, we would expect to see such behavior in all densely populated areas. From what I understand this is not the case. While Japan's situation is mostly unique, it generally follows the same trend found in most rich post-industrial societies rather than simply overpopulated ones. With few exceptions relatively wealthy educated societies have lower birthrates regardless of pop…	/r/MensRights	20/10/13 10:34 PM

10	One Direction star stunned no legal action being taken against crazed female voyeur - "If you flip it the other way round [...] I'd have been straight off to jail." They should have given Harrison more songs. Two of the most timeless Beatles songs are "Here Comes the Sun" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." When the band finally split, Harrison was relieved to be able to make more of his own music. Lennon and McCartney are rock/pop gods undoubtedly, with talent of the highest order. I'm just a firm believer that the Beatles would have been even better had they given Harrison more than the occasional song.	/r/MensRights	14/10/13 11:13 PM
0	Woman is jailed for just 16 months for organising gang beating of innocent man who was wrongly named as a paedophile on vigilante website. "I jumped on his head myself!" Trying to portray men as innocent victims who are hurt by the big bad women is not much better than what radical feminists do. I'm afraid this is a tendency MRAs will have to deal with. Humans over-moralize against their enemies. Nuance gets lost in these conflicts. It's no surprise some of the men here see the cause of Men's Rights not so much as against feminism as it is against women generally. Just like for many radical feminists the problem is men/masculinity, the evil in the minds of some …	/r/MensRights	07/10/13 10:34 PM
59	Dr Phil under attack for 'misogynist tweet' which merely contained the question "Is it ok to have sex with a drunk woman?" My guess is most of these critics -- from a very privileged position -- perceive misogyny and rape culture as mysterious, quasi-mystical forces acting through culture upon a society of blank slates. They imagine men as slaves to the Patriarchy® , incapable of resisting these evils without help (from "correct" thinkers like them of course). From their standpoint men must be re-educated, taught not to rape. So it doesn't matter what Dr. Phil's feelings about rape are, even if he condemns it in the…	/r/MensRights	21/08/13 05:52 AM
1	Verbal abuse expert says only abusive men are capable of change, not women I don't think your conclusions are justified until more information is given. First, do men use verbally abusive language more often than women? If so, how much more? Are some men incapable of changing this behavior? If so, how many? Are these numbers closer to the number of women unable to change? It's very possible more men use this kind of language for social reasons, and hence make the behavior more easily altered. While it's also possible most of the women who use abusive language might do …	/r/MensRights	21/06/13 09:53 PM
4	TIL: Feminist 'scientist' promoted widely-lauded (by feminists) theory that we're all descended from mermaids From what I can tell, there's nothing directly related to men's rights, but Elaine Morgan's aquatic ape "theory" does have something to say about science and feminism. She developed her ideas as a direct response to the dominant theories of the time, which she deemed to be sexist because they stressed the importance of hunting (a predominantly male activity) in the evolution of human intelligence. Morgan's primary motivation was feminism rather than scientific understanding. Though the ideas she…	/r/MensRights	17/05/13 11:53 AM

I think the worst damage done by the feminist rape culture narrative and false accusations is in fomenting fear and distrust, unfairly painting half the population as violence prone predators. This event is a men's rights issue because, as you so eloquently point out, it demonstrates the level of dishonesty used by feminist activists in order to "prove" to the public at large the victimizer status of men/masculinity. The work you do at COTWA points to the horrible consequence…	/r/MensRights	01/05/13 07:13 PM
3	Facebook 'rape threat' against activist spurs huge anti-'rape culture' rally -- but now, police have charged the activist for posting the threat against herself This type of thinking is certainly not unique to feminists or "greater good" ideologies. Any and all ideological stances are prone to ends-justifying-the-means thinking. Everyone tends to over-moralize in areas of conflict and disagreement. We often question the moral and ethical motivations of our opponents, seeing them as driven by pure evil intent, out to destroy us just for the sake of doing so. They are sociopaths and haters. Thus we are justified in even the most outrageous actions taken a…	/r/MensRights	01/05/13 06:54 PM

I wouldn't say it describes this subreddit per se, just some elements here. It seems all too easy for people to get caught up in a combative, winner-take-all attitude. Feminists become a caricature of ultimate evil, out to destroy men at all costs. There's no gray area. In my opinion, scoring points is a counterproductive strategy. Communication will prove much more effective in the long run. Playing games with idiotic feminists is going to do very little to inform the general public, who are al…	/r/MensRights	25/04/13 06:24 AM

It's not too hard to imagine, but always be aware that science is a long way from fully understanding such human behaviors, at least not to the degree that we should then start founding our ideas and opinions about society and human nature based on such limited knowledge.

For what "Now, let’s take it a step further that just acknowledging the fact that using our brains forces us to concede that rape is, in fact, about sex and reproduction." I'm not saying he's right or wrong here but shouldn't he at least demonstrate why it's so obvious? At least I'm not so sure about the "reproduction" aspect of rape. What of homosexual rape and child rape? I see no reproductive advantage to such a thing. Maybe rape is a more complex phenomenon than both Elam and feminis…	/r/MensRights	24/04/13 08:27 PM

2	How to Stop Rape - Typhonblue Some very good points here, particularly concerning the normalization of rape resulting from the rape culture narrative. But I find it a bit simplistic to blame "female" abusers for rape. The problem is abusers generally and the cycle of abuse they perpetuate. What makes these women abuse and rape children?

The gap in suicide between men and women cannot fully be explained in terms of men simply being more effective in their attempts (because of their more violent nature?).

Here are the graphs with relevant quotes from the report when it concerns gender, I think you'll find it interesting. I lived in South Korea for four years and this doesn't surprise me. There's a powerful, over-bearing pressure on young men to achieve near-impossibly high levels of financial and social success. Young men (but almost never young women) are expected to not only provide for their parents in old age but are also expected to marry into an equal or higher social class and to provide an economically better life for their partners and children.
