| 1 | The trouble with register-her.comhttp://register-him.wikispaces.com/ Happy now? also, the sex offender registry already is a register-him, although it is gender neutral, we all know how much easier it is to convict men than women of sexual abuse. | /r/MensRights | 26/10/11 08:12 PM |
| 7 | Gentlemen (and ladies), creep-shaming at its finest.They typically aren't even specifically gender segregated. The segregation is typically incidental, because the fitting room happens to be near women's or men's clothing sections, which are typically segregated. If a man wants to try on women's clothing it makes sense to do so in the nearest fitting room, which would be near the women's clothing. If that behavior was against the store's policy, I imagine SRS would be up in arms about it and call for a boycott of that store, which I find rather i… | /r/MensRights | 24/10/11 06:56 PM |
| 10 | Gentlemen (and ladies), creep-shaming at its finest.He wasn't in a space set up for women to get changed. He was on a wall, in a store which is open to the public, NEAR changing rooms. That is no worse/different from leaning on a wall near a women's restroom while waiting for a woman to finish her business. I consider it harassment to tell someone to leave a public area because they are making people uncomfortable by their mere presence. The business is well within it's rights to do this, but before I allow them to do so I will make it abundantly… | /r/MensRights | 24/10/11 06:02 PM |

The thing is most SRS subscribers do not subscribe for the SRS circlejerk, but actually to counter it. I voted in that thread long before it was crossposted here, and I know many other people did as well.

| 1 | Woman has sex with sleeping man. Will she be prosecuted for rape?In some places HE would be prosecuted for rape. That night Ryan took me by surprise. = rape. Men can rape people while they are asleep and still be held liable for it. If she decided to claim he raped her while he was asleep, there is literally nothing he can do to defend himself except hire a good lawyer and hope he gets a sympathetic jury. If he decided to claim she raped him at night, all she would have to do is tell the police that he had sex with her consensually, even though he doesn't rem… | /r/MensRights | 20/10/11 09:30 PM |
| 2 | Police warned about rising risk of false confessions - up to 20% of convicted criminals had confessed to crimes they didn't commit.because IF a crime has in fact been committed, AND you lock of someone innocent, THEN the guilty party is still in fact free. Ahh yes, that is very true, but not always. Sometimes, in fact I would say probably most of the time with false rape accusations specifically, there may have been no crime actually committed. There may not be a guilty person going free for every innocent person who is convicted. BTW, you seem to be conflated "false accusations" with "false confessions". The former exist w… | /r/MensRights | 20/10/11 08:18 PM |

My mother, who was my father;'s first wife, took his name, and still kept it to this day, his second wife kept her name.

The supreme court is the body which gets to decide these issues of constitutionality. Just because you disagree with them doesn't make your interpretation of the constitution correct.

| 1 | Police warned about rising risk of false confessions - up to 20% of convicted criminals had confessed to crimes they didn't commit.Are you fucking serious? Or making fun of the feminist thought process? Because poe's law is in full effect, and I can't tell if you are being sarcastic. In case you are serious, it is a much better outcome to allow an actual guilty person to walk free than to convict an innocent person. Also, it doesn't follow that for each person who is falsely convicted one real offender got away with it. I would hope that for each innocent person who is falsely convicted that many more actual guilty people w… | /r/MensRights | 20/10/11 07:31 PM |

Often times the woman will get a lawyer who is trying to get as much for her as possible, and the men will not get their own lawyer and just use the same one, who is not serving their best interests.

| 3 | 'Chickens have come home to roost': some taxi drivers think twice about picking up young women because of false sex claimsThat is not a good solution... statements like that are why a big part of reddit thinks that mensrights are just a bunch of trolls. A better idea is what I said, that we need to make the standard of evidence for rape the same as for murder or any other crime. It shouldn't be any easier to prosecute a rapist than a murderer. We should maintain innocence until proven guilty, and protect the anonymity of the accused until convicted (something we don't even do for murder) just because false accusati… | /r/MensRights | 19/10/11 10:10 PM |
| 1 | In Colorado, men can use women's restrooms due to 2008 transgender protection lawVery true. That is why I think it is ridiculous to pass laws which regulate criminal behavior. If something is already illegal, in this case perving in a restroom, then we don't need extra laws to regulate that activity, such as not allowing men in women s restroom, etc. We can allow men into the women's restroom without fear, because it is still illegal if they do anything inappropriate. It is the same thing with allowing guns in bars for sober people. It is still illegal to get drunk with your… | /r/MensRights | 19/10/11 09:58 PM |
| 1 | In Colorado, men can use women's restrooms due to 2008 transgender protection lawWhat if his intent was to merely use the stall and secretly install a tiny secret camera? Obviously that is still illegal, but wouldn't be very obvious to the other occupants of the restroom. A creepy cisgendered individual could use the protection of this law to install secret cameras in many restrooms. I'm just playing devil's advocate here, I simply understand that there are some reasonable concerns about this law, but I still think it is a valuable law. People have to get over the idea that … | /r/MensRights | 19/10/11 09:20 PM |
| 1 | In Colorado, men can use women's restrooms due to 2008 transgender protection lawVery true. We have laws against perving in the restroom, that was my point. Homosexuals can already perv in their respective restrooms. This just provides a little protection for people who look like men to go into women restrooms, and visa versa. some of the people who try to take advantage of those protections will be cisgendered, not transgendered. I think that is an acceptable consequence of this needed legislation. And it isn't where people know you that this is an issue, it is at the mall,… | /r/MensRights | 19/10/11 08:55 PM |
| 1 | 'Chickens have come home to roost': some taxi drivers think twice about picking up young women because of false sex claimsOf course, my point was that punishment will not make men safer from false accusations, because the vast majority of false accusations will of course be unpunishable. The only way to make men safer is to change the justice system such that innocent people are not convicted wrongly, and protect the anonymity of the accused until proven guilty. | /r/MensRights | 19/10/11 06:56 PM |
| 1 | In Colorado, men can use women's restrooms due to 2008 transgender protection lawI think the point is that men could use the women's restroom and claim protection under this law even if they are not really transgender. As I said in my other comment, if that makes it harder to get rid of creepy cisgendered perverts in the wrong restroom then so be it, it is worth it to allow transgendered individuals to be able to use the restroom that makes them more comfortable. However, I can see how it is a valid concern for some people, they just need to get over it. We need to become le… | /r/MensRights | 19/10/11 06:15 PM |
| 3 | In Colorado, men can use women's restrooms due to 2008 transgender protection lawAnyone should be able to use whatever restroom makes them feel more comfortable. If someone else has an issue with that, tough shit. If someone is being creepy and leering at other restroom inhabitants or doing something else inappropriate, then that is a violation of a different law, and they are still not breaking any rules simply by being in the restroom. If this makes it harder to get rid of creepy perverts oogling people in the other gender restroom, so be it, it is worth it to be able to a… | /r/MensRights | 19/10/11 06:10 PM |
| 1 | 'Chickens have come home to roost': some taxi drivers think twice about picking up young women because of false sex claimsThen again, maybe if we started to actually charge and try more false accusers, and hand our more significant senteces, victims wouldn't need to worry so much about preemptively protecting themselves. That is the same logic the other side uses to justify higher sentences and ways to make it easier to punish rapists (or even those accused of rape, even if they are not rapists). Despite all the harsh punishments and lack of due process, people still rape. I fear the same would be true here, no mat… | /r/MensRights | 19/10/11 05:58 PM |

| 8 | 'Chickens have come home to roost': some taxi drivers think twice about picking up young women because of false sex claimsThe issue becomes privacy, I don't want to be flmed everywhere... because, sadly, cabs are not the only place where false rape claims happen. We need to be filmed everywhere, and soon we will have the technology to do it. Hell, they already do it in london.

| 2 | Women Can Stop Rape!Wow, you are ridiculous. So 3% are definitely, provably without a doubt false. Those are the cases which should be prosecuted, and those people who made those false accusations should be in jail. But what about all the cases where it is not provably false, but is still a false claim? Obviously we can't prosecute people for that, but it is still a false accusation. You can't possibly be making the claim that all false claims must be provably false, otherwise it was not a false claim and a rape re… | /r/MensRights | 18/10/11 08:42 PM |

I support the slut walks generally, but the male blaming, helpless victim sentiment I can not abide. They are being counterproductive. | /r/MensRights | 18/10/11 05:46 PM |
| 3 | Anyone else offended by the "10 tips to end rape" poster from r/funny?Yes this is terrible fucking offensive. I've seen this before in a different configuration but basically the exact same 10 list. It is condescending, useless, and belittling. It contributes to the idea that women can't do anything to prevent rape, or even to help fight against it. It turns women into helpless victims who don't have the power to help themselves and are at the mercy of men. | /r/MensRights | 18/10/11 05:07 PM |

They might have a case of mistaken identity, or she might not fully remeber the event but actually consented. I never imply that I know she is lying, I simply state that it might not have been rape, for various reasons I usually state, otherwise if I didn't state the reasons the people who have already condemned him will just laugh me off and say he is guilty.

Have you checked the demographics of the United States? African Americans make up about 12.6% of the population, so the fact that they make up over half the population of offenders shows that they are significantly more likely than white people to be criminals. That doesn't mean that anyone is justified in displaying fear around all African Americans. And about your other st… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/11 08:39 PM |

I can link you several studies which show that the percentage of false reports may well be over 50% in some places for some time periods. it IS possible to sympathize with someone without condemning the person they're accusing.

| 1 | Women Can Stop Rape!What bullshit would that be exactly? There was no logical error that was pointed out. Neither men nor women can completely stop rape, that is part of the point of this post. The title "women can stop rape" is deliberately poking fun at the "men can stop rape" campaign. But it has a good point, that women can do just as much to stop rape as men can by changing their attitudes, and it thrust a bit of that discomfort back onto women than men feel with the "men can stop rape" campaign.

I don't laugh at rape jokes, and I would report a friend if I thought he had raped anyone, so i'm doing my part, rape should be a thing of the past soon. Or maybe we can work on reducing the child abuse which creates most rapists in the first place, much of which is perpetrated by women.

HOW DARE they think he's a criminal? Would you consider it acceptable to say what you just said about a black person? It is statistically more likely that a man will rape you than a woman, but it is also statistically more likely that a black person will commit a crime against you than a white person.

It is encouraging that the top comment is reasonable though.I think it is their joke because I explained the difference between a pedophile and an ephebophile, and then was very clear that I am neither.

But if one is more sober than the other it calls everything into question, that the sober one could have been taking advantage of the other, and you know damn well it will apply primarily to men who are seen as the sex seekers and not women, who are seen as the ones who need to be coerced or drugged into having sex. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/11 11:10 PM |

Hlady was careful to mention that “two people can have too much to drink and still have consensual sex” but that consent still needs to be explicit and freely given. How is that not a contradiction?

However, if the victim did something to "deserve" the assault (for example, being drunk), that makes much more sense. There is another line of reasoning that explains my beliefs though.

When a predator fails to capture their prey, they will always continue to go after other members of the herd, because they need to do so to survive. Rape has a more complex motivation than the simple need to feed. It is often not even about the need for sex and the desire to reproduce. It is often about the hunger for power.

The victim has no control over the rapist. The victim can only control their own actions. Certainly the rapists themselves have power to not rape, but that isn't much help to the victim of a rape.

Same thing here. It's not that it is his fault he got molested, the only person to blame is the person who molested him. It's just that he should be more intelligent in the future for HIS OWN SAKE. See, look at this comment. THAT is victim blame. The difference… | /r/MensRights | 06/10/11 06:26 PM |

The woman gives consent to sex, she didn't intend to regret it, then she does regret it so she calls it rape.

The girls don't need to change their behavior at all, it is only the rapist's (man's) responsibility not to rape. Girls can get drunk all they want and try to get sex from guys, they can be enthusiastically seeking the sex, and if the guy gives in and accepts the girl's advances, BAM, he is a rapist.

Its that you broke the law (by stealing the car) but you didn't know you would be breaking the law because you thought you had the right to repo it. Same with rape, you think you are not breaking the law because the sex is consensual, but then she calls rape on it and says it wasn't consensual so you broke the law just… | /r/MensRights | 09/09/11 04:43 PM |
| -1 | Mens rea, a reason to give more credibility to the story of the accused than the accuser in rape accusations?If the victim can prove it was not consensual, then yes. Otherwise, it could have been consensual sex. And if the accused believes it was consensual then they are not guilty. My point is the burden of proving that it was not consensual lies with the accuser. | /r/MensRights | 09/09/11 02:42 PM |

No, not if they unknowingly did it, if they did it without a guilty mind. A good example I came up with is if the bank repo guys come and repo a car, but the bank messed up the paperwork and they get the wrong car. They are not guilty of grand theft auto for stealing that car, because they thought they had the right to do it. The same goes with rape, if you think you have consent, then it isn't rape.

| -1 | Mens rea, a reason to give more credibility to the story of the accused than the accuser in rape accusations?I know exactly what mens rea means, if he honestly and reasonably thinks she consented (perhaps because she did) then he is not guilty of rape.

Of course he could be lying, I addressed that. She could be lying too, but you don't care what the consequences of a false rape accusation can be. The point is innocent until proven guilty, the burden of proof is on her to prove she didn't consent. I am aware of how difficult it is to bring a case against a rapist, but that dosnt mean we shouldn't protect the innocent. | /r/MensRights | 09/09/11 12:18 AM |
| -6 | Mens rea, a reason to give more credibility to the story of the accused than the accuser in rape accusations?Here is my logic: If the accused says that the accuser consented to the sex and that it was not rape, then by definition they do not have mens rea because they think that the sex was consensual, so they do not have a guilty mind. Obviously they could be lying, so their story should be checked out. However, if the accused admits that the accuser did not consent or was unconscious at the time of the sex act, then they have mens rea even if they think what they did was not rape.

Just read about this Feminists want the standard of rape to be a preponderance of the evidence. They essentially believe it is rape if she says it's rape. That is wrong.

Or perhaps the male rape victim is a homosexual and doesn't like having sex with women.

| 4 | Feminist thinks male rape victims should have to pay child support to their rapists.Yes, the problem is that the male victim should have custody, if he wants it, and the female rapist should have to pay child support if she is capable. And if the man doesn't want to keep the child, it should be put up for adoption and taken care of by the state. The problem in this case is that the charges were never pressed, so she is not a convicted rapist. I think his testimony that he was raped should get him out of the child support obligations and give him priority over custody, but if he… | /r/MensRights | 16/08/11 05:37 PM |

| 2 | Feminist thinks male rape victims should have to pay child support to their rapists.The point is that female rape victims don't have to be financially responsible to a male rapist who gets to raise their child. That is what happens to male rape victims. Also, female rape victims do get child support from their rapist, if he is capable of providing it, or can get support from the state. Or they can give the child up for adoption. A male rape victim who doesn't have custody has none of these options, the female rapist is raising his child AND he has to pay for it. | /r/MensRights | 16/08/11 05:08 PM |

| 10 | Don't forget to not rape people on your way home!You cannot avoid rapists if you think that every potential individual is a potential rapist. You would have to live up in the mountains and never see another human being. You are willing to generalize that all priests might be scary because some of them are rapists, its not a big stretch from there to go to all men are scary because some of them are rapists. Why not just target the whole male gender and stay away from those, think of all the rapists you might avoid! | /r/MensRights | 03/08/11 01:53 AM |
| 9 | Don't forget to not rape people on your way home!That is not what anyone is advocating. But if you spend a lot of time driving near bars at 2 am your likelihood of being hit by a drunk driver increases. There is still no reason to blame you if you are hit by a drunk driver, but there is behaviour which increases the chance of that happening. If you are engaging in dangerous behavior and something happens, it is still not entirely your fault, but maybe you should have been doing some reasonable common sense things to minimize your risk. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/11 12:14 AM |

Women simply do not want to perform manual labor, or dangerous jobs as much as men. They are not as willing to sacrifice their safety and comfort for a pay check. Do you think we need to have equal numbers of men and women working in construction for the sexes to be "equal"? | /r/MensRights | 12/07/11 06:40 PM |

I'm just too indoctrinated by the feminists who claim they are still being oppressed by the patriarchy.

Both sides are just perspectives, both sides are right, and both sides have asshole extremeists who yell and point fingers and generalize, alienating the other side and continuing the cycle of hate. | /r/MensRights | 03/06/11 01:49 PM |
| 1 | Why so much hate for /r/MensRights?This is a very logical and reasonable post. If more people would read this, maybe they would realize generalizing and many of the other things you mentioned are really not progressing men's rights and just cause people, men and women, to stop reading this subreddit. | /r/MensRights | 03/06/11 01:44 PM |
| 0 | Why so much hate for /r/MensRights?There is a difference between men defending against attacks and attacking back. Calling women evil and implying that all women are a certain way alienates people from this subreddit, men and women alike. It is not ture, not all women behave any specific way, and not all women are evil, just like not all men beat their wives, although many do. Generalizing, especially in negative ways, doesn't progress the men's rights movement. | /r/MensRights | 03/06/11 01:42 PM |
| 2 | Why so much hate for /r/MensRights?I wouldn't generally call it a lie, its just a perspective. People see what mattrs to them, and focus only on that, ignoring all else. Some women are oppressed and some men are privilaged oppressors, just as some men are oppressed and some women are privilaged oppessors. | /r/MensRights | 03/06/11 01:37 PM |
| 1 | 117 baby boys die per year in America due to circumcisionHow would you know since by your own admission you didn't read my reply. Edit: I think it is hilarious you are trying to bait me into repeating myself, when you said you didn't even read my last post which had substance. Why is it that the real trolls seem to always accuse people with well reasoned, logical, punctuated, and grammatically correct posts of being trolls? If you want me to continue this debate with you, you must first read and respond to my previous long winded post. I thought I add… | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 09:34 PM |
| 1 | 117 baby boys die per year in America due to circumcisionThanks for proving me right. I love being right. | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 09:01 PM |
| 2 | 117 baby boys die per year in America due to circumcisionI feel like it is probably a waste of my time to talk with you based on the lack of intelligence displayed in your post, but i'll try anyway. For starters, what do you mean by "Some things are easy to pick up infectionwise"? It is true that uncircumcised boys have a higher risk of urinary tract infection, but it is negligible if proper hygiene is maintained. We can do invasive surgeries to help prevent sinus infections also, but we don't unless the person has a serious sinus infection which conv… | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 08:21 PM |
| 4 | Utter misandry from NPR.Ya seriously, i've stayed up at night worrying about all sorts of things, and I don't even have children to take care of, I imagine it will get worse not better. I just think men generally are taught to be tougher as far as showing emotions, so they don't display as much worry on average, leading to the perception by women that men do not worry as much. It is mainly cultural I think. | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 05:30 PM |
| 3 | Utter misandry from NPR.I think she meant watching friends as in people who are her friends, not the TV show. But interesting that they edited it... I remember hearing that part. | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 05:13 PM |
| 2 | 117 baby boys die per year in America due to circumcisionHmm I did some research and you are correct. I was mislead by stupid feminist arguments and false studies. It seems they all must have medical justification to go forward. Unfortunately, I cannot find anywhere a list of justifications for the medical reasons for it, so I'm afraid it is mostly up to doctor and parent discretion, but yes, it is a much smaller problem than male genital cutting. And the same type of cutting on females in this country is illegal by federal law as of 1996. | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 05:08 PM |
| 2 | 117 baby boys die per year in America due to circumcisionWell despite the bad study, kids do die, like this one http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/hjird/boy_dies_from_botched_circumcision/ We don't have good statistics, but I'm sure its not just one, and isn't one too many? There are very limited benefits to the procedure in modern times, we don't have cleanliness issues anymore. its getting rid of some penis skin, removing some sensitivity, and making masturbation much less enjoyable and easy. I don't want some ancient religion passing down … | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 04:57 PM |
| 1 | 117 baby boys die per year in America due to circumcisionI'm in the same situation. I don't really blame my parents, but i do hold a minor grudge against them. I mostly blame the culture, the fact that my dad, while not a practicing Jew, came from a partially Jewish family, and that doctors in America recommend the procedure. I will not allow my son to be circumcised no matter what. | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 04:54 PM |
| 7 | Utter misandry from NPR.I heard this story on the radio this morning, it pissed me off so much. Sounds like my mom talking about how useless her boyfriends are, stupid man hate. Especially the part about how only women worry, and only women care about children's nourishment and work/home balance... Wow | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 04:46 PM |
| 1 | 117 baby boys die per year in America due to circumcisionActually we do perform genital cutting on female infants in his country. Usually it is corrective, like if the clit is to large or he vagina opening is not large enough, but often it is cosmetic and not medically required and the parent gets to make the decision in those cases, not the doctor. There are also complications from that, but it is much more rare than circumcision so I imagine there are fewer fatalities every year, but I don't know for sure. | /r/MensRights | 25/05/11 01:56 PM |
| 3 | This thread asking how to put a woman at ease if you're walking behind her late at night so she doesn't think you're a rapist is appalling.what doesbeing cautious in this situation mean to you? Putting your hand on your purse gun and keepingaclose watch on the guy? Because that is a reasonable responce, and thats the resonce I sometimes have as a man encountering sketchy people at night on foot. If your recation is to look creeped out and speed up, then you are just sending signals to the guy that you are scared, which is lame. If he does not intend you harm (most likly) you insulted him, and if he does you have accomplished nothin… | /r/MensRights | 07/05/11 02:31 PM |
| 1 | bin Ladin Dead and All it Cost was a Thousands of Young Men and The TruthWow you are funny... you are saying that thefact that the language has been changed to include women somehow shows a bias against men? Women are serving and dieing just because they can't be assigned to combat units yet doesn't mean they dnt get into combat. The language has been changed to reflect that and you complain that it is not biased for men like it use to be. Equal is equal, and before women can be assigned to combat units (coming soon I hope) they have to be recognized as worthy of tha… | /r/MensRights | 03/05/11 06:15 AM |
| 15 | bin Ladin Dead and All it Cost was a Thousands of Young Men and The TruthJust remember 113 women died in iraq and afganistan, and about 600 were wounded in action, so I don't think its totally fair to say young men only and discount the female soldiers dieing for no good reason over there. http://usmilitary.about.com/od/terrorism/a/iraqdeath1000.htm | /r/MensRights | 02/05/11 01:39 PM |

| 1 | A Letter to Traditional WomenWomen typically want a lot more from a relationship than just money. But you are right that some women will do this. | /r/MensRights | 15/04/11 06:20 PM |
| 0 | A Letter to Traditional WomenYa that's why you have to make sure the woman is more interested, or thinks she is moreinterested in keeping the relationship. Women need far more from us men than just money. They depend greatly on their man for emotional reasons, and if you threaten that they will do anything to stay in. Relationship. That is why women are often forced to stay in abusive relationships eve though they could just all the cops, because they are too afraid of losing their husband. Not saying I abuse my woman, just… | /r/MensRights | 15/04/11 01:25 PM |
| 2 | A Letter to Traditional WomenBut you cannot assume that she only uses men for her benefit from comments made supporting men's rights on a forum. Traditionalist women often do A TON for their man, and are a valuable part of the household, contributing to the man not having to do as much housework and work raising children. On a case by case basis you can call specific women out, but to insult all traditionalist women who support men's rights is counterproductive, and outright prejudice. Judge individuals based on their own a… | /r/MensRights | 14/04/11 11:59 PM |
| 2 | FAQ request: Is feminism about equality?I like that, I may have to use that argument some time. | /r/MensRights | 14/04/11 11:26 PM |
| 3 | A Letter to Traditional WomenYes I agree with that to an extent, but there are bigger enemies. If any person is arguing for the side I believe in, regardless of their motivations, they are by definition on my side. I'm not going to tell them to go fuck themselves for arguing for me. Now as soon as that traditionalist women starts arguing for things I don't agree with, I wont hesitate to say I think they are wrong, but i'm still not going to result to insults. There is simply no reason for it, especially if they are being po… | /r/MensRights | 14/04/11 11:14 PM |
| 2 | A Letter to Traditional WomenWell I'm not as anti traditionalist as others. I figure if a traditionalist women is arguing for men's rights that's still a net positive, and she most certainly doesn't deserve to be told to "go fuck herself" because of it. | /r/MensRights | 14/04/11 11:11 PM |
| 0 | A Letter to Traditional WomenI might, but for now I just wanted the MRA of reddit to have some questions to think about after reading this. It just seems counterproductive to insult people who are arguing for things you believe in, even if they have some beliefs you don't agree with. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. | /r/MensRights | 14/04/11 10:52 PM |
| 2 | A Letter to Traditional WomenI'm with you. I just wanted people on reddit to have a voice of sanity to balance it against. It just seems counterproductive to insult people who are arguing for things you believe in, even if they have some beliefs you don't agree with. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. | /r/MensRights | 14/04/11 10:51 PM |
| 5 | A Letter to Traditional WomenI'm trying to figure out what the person who wrote this actually wants. What is the end goal he is going for, what society structure would he consider better than what we have now and what we had before. Clearly he doesn't want to go back to traditional values of the 50s and earlier, but he also doesn't like where we've ended up along this path of man hating feminism. So where is he trying to get to? Generally to me it would seem counterproductive to tell people who are arguing for your side to … | /r/MensRights | 14/04/11 10:41 PM |
| 1 | We need to start doing this again, except perhaps add in video recording of the girl actually reading it and signing it on camera, clearly not under duress. Might need a witness too.Ok so we might need to add a blood test to ensure the person is not under the influence of substances when they signed the document. The blood test would also be performed on camera before the document is signed, in front of the witness. | /r/MensRights | 18/03/11 09:29 PM |
