1	Question for all: If you were born as the opposite sex, what would be the advantages and disadvantages for you? Just because two people are both men one of them cutting off part of another's body isn't not a violation of that person's bodily autonomy. If you were held down and had a brand applied to your flesh, would that be any less a violation of your autonomy just because the person who wanted it done was a woman or had also wanted it done to them? Many people who go through hazing rituals also don't see anything wrong with then doing it to someone else in turn. Often it takes an outside perspective to…	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/02/23 01:51 PM

3	Apparently lonely men don’t deserve any help and are only lonely because they’re “entitled” Also from that exact same comment: I saw a stat that said by 2035 45% of women will be single and are happier than being married. Men benefit from being taken care of in relationships and many women get burnt out and it’s not reciprocated. Why would anyone want to sign up for that? They are only compassionate in the sense that they want women to have better partners. This isn't about men, it is about women. Way to quote mine.	/r/MensRights	23/01/23 12:29 PM
3	Apparently lonely men don’t deserve any help and are only lonely because they’re “entitled” and when you combine the two it creates the hostile dynamic of guys paying for a date and then ‘expecting’ something in return. This is like the ‘nice guy’ example Except this misses that men aren't being told they have a right to this, and society as a whole expects them to pay for being on a date and to then expect nothing. Men aren't told they can get away acting entitled by society in this example, rather society is trying to force them to take a shitty deal which involves absolutely no enti…	/r/MensRights	23/01/23 12:24 PM

I’ve never heard people seriously claim that all masculinity is toxic. The bailey So when people say “toxic masculinity”, they are referring to shit that our culture sometimes says is fundamental to masculinity but is also unhealthy. The motte Toxic masculinity in the motte isn't even a masculinity, it isn't a specific expression of a masculine identity.

2	I posted on a marriage thread about my wife's effort in the bedroom vs mine an it's all my fault apparently! Its takes hardly 2-3 hours per day, for me to cooking, cleaning, laundry and a bit of routine maintenance.. How are you doing this? I honestly cannot imagine, short of staring at the laundry as it is in the machine, or dusting every surface, how you'd spend this much time per day. Per week seems short due to the cooking admittedly.	/r/MensRights	17/01/23 01:26 PM
3	Why is the “patriarchy” narrative still getting pushed by feminists despite abundant evidence that men are more subjugated now than ever before? As an atheist I see feminism as basically a secular cult, and The Patriarchy is their god-concept. It is a god-of-the-gaps which exists in radically different forms among different people, and makes it possible for the heterogeneous ideas feminists actually hold to present as far more homogeneous. Just like how one might say "look at the beauty in the world" when challenged about God, ignoring all the ugly things, so too is the idea of patriarchy that "oh look at how society ensures male dominat…	/r/MensRights	29/11/22 05:06 AM

He didn't "sexualize" her, he just asked if she wanted to have sex. That doesn't mean he didn't value the friendship.	/r/MensRights	15/11/22 12:19 PM
1	Do you concede the patriarchy does exist in some form and is at least partly responsible for the predicament of males today? What would you accept as a "test" of if a society is patriarchal or not? Like, if I had a society in a box how could I tell if it was a patriarchy? Patriarchy's definition would then have to be limited by that test. The problem is overwhelmingly the test proposed is ill formed or the term is used outside of what is actually tested for.	/r/MensRights	18/10/22 05:48 AM

2	Facebook post deleted because it contained FACTS. Men are more likely to be the victims of violent crimes. What is hypocritical is though, is to say the wage gap doesn't exist because women make different choices, but then complain about disproportionate violence against men which literally exists for the same reason, men making different choices. Either both of these things are a problem or neither. Chose one, don't be hypocritical.

It's quite funny because even animals are like women and are very wary of men because we know how they are. Edit: To be clear they aren't just pointing out that dogs are more likely to be afraid of men, they are saying: dogs are more likely to be afraid of men this is a result of men abusing dogs (not mentioning non-abuse factors) even dogs know you should be wary of men this is part of how men are Saying "oh I'm not saying all men are like that" is kinda like saying "There are lots of Mexican r…	/r/MensRights	31/08/22 01:10 PM

The jump from "some dogs are scared of men" to "clearly this is due to associated abuse" is ridiculous. My GF's cat is scared of strange men significantly more than strange women. She has had this cat since it was a kitten and it was born in a shelter. We aren't sure why exactly, but it is unlikely the cat was ever abused.

Children also can't even comprehend what 'bodily autonomy' means. If someone doesn't understand free speech, do you think they should be able to be censored freely?

1	Patriarchy Basically, men dictate how society is run, generally. Under this definition, pointing out that men suffer systemic discrimination does not disprove patriarchy, as the people in power that allow this discrimination to happen are (generally) men. How would you debunk this argument? I wouldn't. This functions as a definition, and other than ambiguity as to what exactly "men" making decisions means, I could be willing to grant it describes countries that exist today, if you mean the individuals in c…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/08/22 12:27 PM

Even if this is down to fetishization of lesbians/wlws Despite conservative controversy, Magic Mike and 50 Shades both were relatively mainstream movies, and made explicitly to turn on women, with the most bare bones pretense of a plot outside of that.

Specifically it is used in a discussion of transition in behavior, where some subset of women "ride the cock carousel" and then transition to having a single committed relationship later. I don't think any data mentioned here actually touches on this specifically.

9	I'm so tired of being blamed for everything because of my gender. This is a report from 1984 e: even if I accepted anything in it on face value, I wouldn't agree it can be extrapolated 38 years later. The problem with it being some complex sociological "in reality" is that we only see the points people are arguing in the public sphere, which are independent of anything that happens behind closed doors in academia, and there also seems to be a lack of public outcry from sociologists given the broad "misuse" of the concept.	/r/MensRights	08/08/22 12:33 PM

Then do you feel that when you developed scripts, that you were being manipulative? That is the question. Not what your preference is, but if it amounts to manipulation or not.

A naivety, if you will. I would suggest this is not much of a PUA piece of advise though.

Not everyone actually says it out loud, but sour grapes, and the like are common psychological defenses for rejection.

I hate when people mention PUAs and negging while demonstrating they don't understand what negging is. There are multiple schools of thought behind the neg, none of which are really manipulative. Neg stands for "negate" not "negative".

The perspectives of women in-person are generally much better adjusted, much less man-hating or borderline man-hating, and harassment, cat calling, .etc are described as very uncommon.

By functioning as an interest group that solely represents women, it has been (at best) deaf to other injustices, including a crisis in our own homes: the boy crisis." THIS IS BECAUSE THEY WERE CONSIDERED PROPERTY AND NOT FULLY RESPONSIBLE ADULTS. Historically there have been classes of people actually considered property. We call them "slaves".
