| 1 | Are the folk of r/mensrights sexist?Basically no one here is sexist, though you will probably encounter a good amount of trolls, like most areas of the internet. | /r/MensRights | 09/07/11 01:21 PM |

| 1 | Conscription ends in GermanyThe selective service registration card in my wallet disagrees. | /r/MensRights | 06/07/11 06:52 AM |
| 1 | Conscription ends in GermanyAmbivalence over this isn't right. After all, it is a life & death issue. The largest mass graves in the world are the ones filled with the bodies of boys drafted in wars. "Time in the army could help youths prove to employers they can work" And what employer would hire someone because they were a soldier? Maybe the police, but it isn't really a marketable thing. They'd be economically better off actually pursuing a serious career rather than doing a stint in the military. "or help them get jobs… | /r/MensRights | 06/07/11 06:51 AM |
| 1 | Conscription ends in GermanyMy understanding from my German friends, unless there has been a misunderstanding, is that previously, German men had to serve in the armed forces for a year. The government offered several alternatives to conscientious objectors like the Ziveldienst, but every male had to serve in some fashion. Did I misunderstand them? Do you know something they didn't? | /r/MensRights | 06/07/11 06:44 AM |
| 1 | Conscription ends in GermanyYou mean you're pro-conscription as long as both genders are drafted? | /r/MensRights | 05/07/11 10:19 PM |
| 1 | Conscription ends in GermanyYeah Deutschland! Now German men can go straight to Uni after finishing secondary school without having to waste a year, risking getting murdered. :) | /r/MensRights | 05/07/11 09:34 PM |

| 0 | "According to the 1971 census, they report, 68% of 25-to 29-year-old university graduates were male. Ten years later, 54% were male and by 1991, the number was down to 51%. By 2001, only 42% of university graduates were male.""If you checked the stats for very recent years (unlikely available for 2011, but maybe for 2010), you would likely see that many more men are going back to school because the construction boom is over." I've posted the recent data below from the National Center for Education Statistics, and men aren't going to school in greater numbers. Also, construction constitutes a small portion of the economy and it employs few. If there has been a cut in construction jobs, then it hasn't effected many. Sp… | /r/MensRights | 05/07/11 07:56 PM |

| 1 | If a man is forcibly raped (not statutory) will he have to pay child support? Are there any cases where this has happened in the US?"First, there aren't that many cases of forcible rape by women on men. Part of it is due to low incidence," That's not true at all. Actually there are actually millions of cases of rapes against men. According to the National Institute of Justice, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2,782,440 men will be rape victims in our life time, in the US alone. http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles/172837.pdf And remember, this is only based on what is reported and what even counts in the respective legal… | /r/MensRights | 30/06/11 12:27 PM |
| 3 | Is it ok to be unemployed?It's not something to be ashamed of, but it's certainly not good for you in the long run. Don't measure your self value by your income, but know that you need to be able to support yourself. | /r/MensRights | 28/06/11 09:36 AM |

| 1 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism.Like I said, you illiterate twat, From what I've seen they're not supremicists. I haven't looked at their comment histories, and you're more than free to link us to some gems, rather than just making baseless accusations without any proof. "Fuck you. And fuck this subreddit if people like you are going to accomodate them and make excuses" Fuck you. I'm not making excuses, I'm just being level and fair. | /r/MensRights | 28/06/11 12:34 AM |

| 0 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism."LOL, kloo2yoo...Your marxist feminist power tripping dogma is showing yet again." Kloo2yoo isn't a feminist. Where on earth did you even get this? He accuses them of being in a conspiracy against men, for crying out loud. "I wouldnt be the least bit surprised to find out youre a raging female feminist." So what if our mod is female or a feminist? Why are these automatically bad things? | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:40 PM |
| 1 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism.From what I've seen, they're not supremacists, just ethnocentrists. Not necessarily a good thing, but not as bad as what you seem to think they are. Are they trying to derail this subreddit by adding in unrelated issues? Yes. Do I welcome them? No. So don't say I "accommodate such reprehensible views", you prick. You've never even talked to me before, so how on earth can you claim to know what views I have? | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:34 PM |
| 0 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism."I think we are finally waking up to the simple fact that supporting men's rights but opposing white rights is a logical absurdity." Who was ever against equal rights for whites in the first place here?? To quote the old motto of this subreddit "We support the rights of everyone, but fight for the rights of men and boys." | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:23 PM |
| 1 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism."Not this drama-causing man-bashing feminist posing as an MRA." Kloo2yoo isn't a man-basher or a feminist. Where did you even get that?? The only thing that's right in your post is that he is drama-prone. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:12 PM |

| 0 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism."Are you really so brainwashed by political correctness that you can't acknowledge the obvious fact that most of us here are white men?" It's not so obvious. Have you even seen the faces or genitalia of any other people on this site? I didn't think so...are you so hastily assumptious that you'd blindly ignore the fact that you're just guessing out of your ass? What are the odds that most of the people here are a minority? They're not good. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 11:13 AM |
| 0 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism."what's wrong with acknowledging that most of us, in fact, are white men?" You know this how? "Is that something to be ashamed of?" One's race and gender aren't something to be ashamed of. However, none of us know the race and gender of anyone else on this subreddit. You're just making assumptions. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:38 AM |
| 2 | Why don't Feminists care about or even mention the fact that 99% of the homeless people that one sees on a daily basis are male?Actually, men are 85%, not 99%, of the homeless according to the United States Conference of Mayors: http://usmayors.org/HHSurvey2007/hhsurvey07.pdf | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:22 AM |
| -2 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism."As white men, we need..." Who said everyone in this reddit is white or a man? "Attacking white people" What's being proposed isn't an attack. It's better described as pandering to the insecurities of others, really. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:18 AM |
| 2 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism.Damage control is better handled by yelling at bigots and calling them out, than making superficial and skin-deep changes to the way this subreddit looks. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:09 AM |
| 4 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism."There is no need to change a logo to 'prove we aren't discriminatory'." More to the point, actions speak louder than words. It doesn't matter what our logo is. Our proof of being decent and non-discriminatory shouldn't come from a drawing. That's just bells and whistles, we should strive to be that way in our dealings with others. To me, it's weak minded to lean on symbolism, instead of taking action. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:07 AM |
| 3 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism."we should not/cannot exclude women or blacks or gays or Asians, etc., etc." We shouldn't, which is why it's good that we don't. "That means we can no longer call it Men's Rights" Why call a spade a club? This subreddit is devoted to supporting equal rights for men, so it's name fits perfectly. "or we fall into the same trap as 'feminism' which is named for exactly what it advocates, yet claims to advocate for everyone." This subreddit used to have the phrase, "We support the rights of everyone,… | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 10:03 AM |
| 3 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism."It's very necessary, unless you're only concerned with the rights of straight white males, in which case you need to take your ass back to stormfront." We're concerned with the rights of all men, hence our current logo. Take your own stupid ass back to the dark corner of the internet from which you came, troll. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 09:54 AM |
| 2 | New logo needed, to emphasize racial and lgbt inclusiveness, but not feminism.the current logo of the male sign with an equal sign is really good. Why change it? It's simple and it's message is clear: make men equal. I say keep it. This is a gender subreddit, so why confuse that by changing the logo for 'racial inclusiveness'? | /r/MensRights | 27/06/11 09:51 AM |
| 1 | r/MensRights has had less instances of the words "bitch" and "cunt" than accusations may have lead you to believe...Because the contention that I was responding to was about the prevalence of female-gendered pejoratives. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 11:39 PM |
| 1 | Sexual fantasy and sexual reality are not the same thing - What little girls wear does not create paedophiles. What big girls wear does not create rapists"there has been an overwhelming increase in young girls wearing provacative clothing. It's quite disgusting that their parents allow it." Allow?? What right do have to dictate what they can and can't wear? | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 04:28 PM |
| 1 | Slut Walks Should Be BoycottedRape sometimes is a crime of opportunity, and being vulnerable creates opportunities for that crime to occur; however, I don't believe that the amount of cloth you wear constitutes a vulnerability. It's just clothing. Vulnerabilities would be things like being alone or not being armed. These circumstances make it easier for one to be raped, because they create opportunities for that to happen. If your defenseless and you don't have anyone to help you, then you are pretty vulnerable. It doesn't m… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 04:22 PM |

| 0 | Slut Walks Should Be Boycotted"We live in a society, and every society has established norms of acceptable dress." So? Norms are not automatically ethical, they're just prevalent. "Parents don't want their sons walking around showing underwear." Some don't. For the ones that do, they need to learn how little that matters- how much they're making of absolutely nothing. "Nor do they want teenage girls showing most of their breasts in public." Same as above. It doesn't matter. I'm guessing your American right, and probably have… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 02:00 PM |
| -5 | r/MensRights has had less instances of the words "bitch" and "cunt" than accusations may have lead you to believe...Given the way the search function works on Reddit, this measure can't be more complete. Also, I'm not making an argument, I'm responding to one I've heard at another subreddit. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 01:50 PM |
| 2 | Slut Walks Should Be Boycotted"But forget about rape, girls who dress like some of the girls in the Slut Walk don't attract serious men." And? What if they don't? Why is that a concern? Why do you assume that they even want to attract a male mate? What about lesbians or asexuals? Also, what's wrong with not wanting a relationship? What if they want unserious men because they're unserious, and they just want an all-nighter, or something?

| -5 | r/MensRights has had less instances of the words "bitch" and "cunt" than accusations may have lead you to believe...Oh absolutely, but this is only a measure of the frequency of use of these words, as the contention against this reddit is that it is filled with such language. Apparently, that assertion is a little unfounded. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 01:23 PM |
| -1 | r/MensRights has had less instances of the words "bitch" and "cunt" than accusations may have lead you to believe..."I attempted to in my edit, which it's possible you didn't see." Yeah, I didn't see it at the time. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 01:17 PM |
| -4 | r/MensRights has had less instances of the words "bitch" and "cunt" than accusations may have lead you to believe..."it's worth looking at as a flag for potentially offensive intent." Then I did understand you right, and I stand by what I said. That is indeed a bias on the part of the listener. Individual words are just soundbites. Their true meanings are only expressed when they are put together. Words' meanings are derived from the other words around them. People who get caught up on individual words are weak minded. Individual words aren't 'flags' for intent, because intent can only be determined with any … | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 01:15 PM |

| 2 | Slut Walks Should Be BoycottedOK, then I missed something. I still don't see where you said that, but I'll take your word for it. You have no right to be telling me and other men what to wear, just like you have no right to be telling women what to wear. What makes you think you're entitled to have a voice in that matter? Why don't you have respect for others autonomy? | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 01:04 PM |
| 2 | Slut Walks Should Be BoycottedExplain. Why do you find this a working and fitting analogy? I don't see it. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 01:00 PM |
| 3 | Slut Walks Should Be BoycottedSometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. Every situation is different. However, dressing scantily isn't going to make opportunities for rapists. It's just cloth. It's not a relevant factor. Vulnerability, on the other hand, is going to make a lot of opportunities. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 01:00 PM |
| -5 | r/MensRights has had less instances of the words "bitch" and "cunt" than accusations may have lead you to believe...Then that's a bias on the part of the listener. What's being said solely hinges on what's being communicated, not word choice. Expressing my opinion is a bitch. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 12:53 PM |
| 1 | Slut Walks Should Be BoycottedDifferent crimes have different motivations. It's not a sound analogy. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 12:43 PM |
| -6 | r/MensRights has had less instances of the words "bitch" and "cunt" than accusations may have lead you to believe...You're interpreting what I said literally. Put another way, words are just words. Singling out specific words is pointless. It's what's actually being said by the speaker that matters, not word choice. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 12:38 PM |
| -1 | Slut Walks Should Be BoycottedI did, why did you assume that I didn't? All things considered, I can't see why anyone would take so much issue with these marches as to proclaim a boycott on them. You list two reasons why people shouldn't attend the events. Firstly, you take issue with the fact that a lot of the protesters aren't fully dressed. I just simply don't get that. What is it to you what clothes, if any, they wear? You denounce these protests as "manifestations of ranche culture", but why is ranche culture bad? Why ca… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 12:18 PM |

| 0 | I'm dating a feminist. AMA.This post would have been more appropriate in r/IAmA. Your love life isn't really what this reddit is all about. That being said, no crying over spilled milk. Since this already here, I was wondering if you had set out to date someone of that particular philopshy, i.e. someone who has similar beliefs, maybe; or, was it that this was an irrelevant fact and you already loved this person? | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 11:28 AM |
| 0 | r/MensRights has had less instances of the words "bitch" and "cunt" than accusations may have lead you to believe...When people from r/TwoXChromosomes attack this reddit and its users by saying that it's 'awash' with anti-female language, it's worth reminding them that their reddit has, in only one-third the amount of time, used such language more. p.s. People who get offended by c̶u̶r̶s̶e words are weak minded. Words are just sounds. Be offended by the meanings attached to these sounds, instead. It's the people, not the words, who are sexist. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/11 11:02 AM |

| 1 | Amazing Atheist rips the shit out of psychotic feminist bloggerYes. That's EXACTLY right. TheAmazingAtheist exists because of feminists. It couldn't possibly be the numerous religious loons that he wanted vlog about/against, because that would be crazy talk. It has to be feminism. Obviously. | /r/MensRights | 02/06/11 09:36 AM |
| 1 | Amazing Atheist rips the shit out of psychotic feminist bloggerStill wrong. TJ's persona as "TheAmazingAtheist" exists because of a) religious vloggers that pissed him off, like VenomFangX, and b) atheist vloggers that he liked like Brett Keen. | /r/MensRights | 02/06/11 09:33 AM |
| 11 | Are you reluctant / afraid to publicly disclose being an MRA / supporter of men's rights?I would imagine a few are. It's a lot more socially acceptable to be a feminist, though, because they enjoy more publicity, membership, and acceptance; but, there are going to be some that are paired with anti-feminists, and can't really talk about that side of themselves, which is sad. | /r/MensRights | 20/05/11 06:10 AM |

| 1 | She sets out to prove a point: that men have it so much better than women. But as She soon finds out, her assumptions are quickly dashed!"Her hypothesis was sexist." Let me ask you a question. If her hypothesis was sexist for saying that women have it harder, then why do you talk of her results the way you do, by saying it has earned your admiration? Wouldn't it also be then that it's sexist to say that men have it harder, by the same standards? To me, 'sexist' is just the wrong kind of word to be throwing around here like that. I don't think her hypothesis was sexist. I just think it was wrong, and she's said as much. | /r/MensRights | 19/05/11 07:01 AM |

But as She soon finds out, her assumptions are quickly dashed!To "x-post", what you do is go over to a reddit's front page, and look for the button, which says, "submit a link". Click it and it will take you to a page with a few simple questions. It will ask you what title you want for the post, i.e. what will be seen on the front page as the post's header, and last but not least, what the URL of the link you are trying to submit is. Got it?

But as She soon finds out, her assumptions are quickly dashed!"So it would seem that she initially went with this idea because she was trying to justify her sexism, but had her outlook completely changed instead." 'sexism' is kinda strong language for what she was trying to do. She had a 'hypothesis', for lack of a better word, and she wanted to test it. It's way more innocent then you're making it sound.

Sorry, it doesn't really work like that, I don't think. Take trannies, for example. They appear to live as one gender; but, they've spent at least a portion of their life living like the opposite gender.

He's saying that she got an inclination of what it's like; but, presumably, she still hasn't seen everything that there is to see.

Different parties can stand up for different things, and the whole group can address a much wider range of issues.

Are you sure that Jiang Qing was just doing what her husband influenced her to do?

No, men's rights a civil rights movement rather than an academic philosophy, and has a very different world view from that of feminists and feminism. Take a look at their patriarchy theory.

But, I am an MRA and I disagree that our issues are as frivolous as you say.
