| 0 | Being raised by a single mother who wonders why I don't man up.You got downvoted, but TBH I think getting a "beater truck" would be a valuable thing to do. Anything older than '97 or so is going to be easy to work on, and auto maintenance can be both a fun and rewarding hobby. Just my $.02 | /r/MensRights | 05/10/12 06:10 PM |
| 0 | How is it ok to condone men being treated this way? Cosmo should be ashamed.During the colder months I keep my keys in my coat pockets; expressly because my coat pockets are more durable (thicker liner), they have zippers (so do my cargo pants; but the working world has robbed me of this pleasure) so my keys won't fall out, and my coat comes with me everywhere. In the summer months I like to use an S-Clip or carabiner to keep my keys on my belt. The constant jingling makes it hard to forget tem. I figured most coat pockets had zippers; they certainly do in my part of th… | /r/MensRights | 02/10/12 07:25 PM |
| 1 | Nope. No feminist struggling to redefine MRA here : urban dictionaryI wouldn't rely on that fact, as it's an implementation detail of their network, and not universally true. My ISP's lease is for 24 hours, within that time my cable box will get the same IP on a reconnect. (Whereas my old provider [AT&T] did reset every time.) (However I can reset it in 10 seconds by also spoofing the MAC address. So I guess if I had a few thousand of those lying around.) | /r/MensRights | 12/09/12 12:24 PM |
| 3 | Nope. No feminist struggling to redefine MRA here : urban dictionaryTwo possibilities that immediately stand out (full disclaimer: I barely use UD, much less write scripts against it): It'd be easy enough if the script author has a botnet at their disposal. All the upvotes/downvotes would then come from unique IPs. They [UD] don't really store IPs, but some kind of session ID generated in a cookie. This makes more sense to me, since it'd otherwise be quite difficult to use UD in schools or on other large networks, since you wouldn't have a unique IP. That or the… | /r/MensRights | 11/09/12 05:34 PM |
| 5 | Another annoying trend I've noticedI don't think anyone actually makes a big purchase to compensate. That being said: I hear this phrase a lot. It's important to note that it doesn't always come from women, either. In fact, quite the opposite in my social circle. Mostly it is male friends referring to other male friends in jest. The females party to this peen-bashing often look on in confusion. Probably because arguing about penises is pretty damn nonsensical. My gamer friends, hell even my dad and I often brag about the "e-peen"… | /r/MensRights | 19/07/12 09:14 PM |
| 2 | My roommate suggested I share my story with you guys.You don't go passed-out drunk to sober in a few hours. Every time I've been black-out drunk / locked to the floor drunk: I end up puking and I almost instantly feel better. Not sober mind you, but as soon as I make peace with the porcelain gods I get cleaned up and I'm walking around, partying, talking, drinking tons of water, etc. I think OP was probably using a bit of hyperbole when he said she was "sober", but in my experience vomitting does make a huge difference... holding onto that liquor … | /r/MensRights | 19/07/12 03:21 PM |
| 4 | To ALL MARRIED MEN -- listen up, always , always keep a stash of cash at your parents home, in a locked box , with some of your most important papers and most of all , gold, silver or any valuables . No matter what you think, it will be important just in case ..if you're 100% sure you can trust your partner During my youth, one of my pastors explained something to us that he had learned after many many years of helping couples get married... Basically he said that in a successful marriage, both partners must give 100%. Many people have a strange notion that marriage is a long standing business arrangement. (In a lot of ways, it's treated as one, even today.) Basically new couples look at marriage as a division of labor. From things like how they will f… | /r/MensRights | 16/07/12 07:31 PM |
| 52 | To ALL MARRIED MEN -- listen up, always , always keep a stash of cash at your parents home, in a locked box , with some of your most important papers and most of all , gold, silver or any valuables . No matter what you think, it will be important just in case ..and I'd like to think that not all wives should be treated as potential back-stabbers Upvote, very well said and I agree with you. Still though, nothing wrong with knowing divorce law (or the law in general) and being prepared for how that law may treat you unjustly. I do think there's an important difference between outwardly treating everyone as a threat, and internally being prepared to deal with a threat. The sentiment goes something like: you never carry a weapon expecting to use it. You kn… | /r/MensRights | 16/07/12 07:26 PM |
| 1 | "No means NO!" - inspired from a question from OkCupid, put to /r/MensRightsOP should put that in the "explain this answer" section, great clip | /r/MensRights | 13/07/12 07:43 PM |
| 7 | Women don't like it when FGM is called "Female Circumcision", and I don't blame them. It's important to them to emphasize that it's mutilation. Shouldn't we also be openly outraged about the double standard of MGM being called circumcision?This is basically what I came to say: FGM is not prevalent in western society, therefore genital mutilation (where mutilation implies "violating the norm in a harmful way") applies. Male circumcision or MGM is prevalent in western society, therefore to those who don't have a strong opinion on it, it doesn't seem to "violate the norm." - By not violating the norm, it is therefore not seen as mutilation. We must not only demonstrate how it is harmful and painful, but how it is not normal. It shoul… | /r/MensRights | 12/07/12 09:51 PM |
| 4 | George Takei just started a circumcision shitstorm on facebook. Most of the comments are pretty good, but there are quite a few nutcases on it.ultimately have the final say over a boys circumcision. Forgive me if I'm wrong: but isn't the gist of the argument that they shouldn't have a say over a boys circumcision. I mean I do agree, women certainly have a place in this debate. But our side of the argument is kind of stripping them of that [harmful] freedom to make surgical decisions regarding their child's prepuce. I see the logic in allowing both sides to state their case, but we are arguing that they shouldn't be allowed to say a dam… | /r/MensRights | 12/07/12 09:20 PM |
| 7 | George Takei just started a circumcision shitstorm on facebook. Most of the comments are pretty good, but there are quite a few nutcases on it.I will not lie: I've heard this before. I went on believing it for a while too. I was circumcised as an infant. To be honest: the fact never came up. I didn't even know I was different until well after sex ed. (I learned about my circumcision just by being a horny teenager on the Internet, its as simple as that.) Yes you read that right: in my (parochial) schools the sex ed materials and biology textbooks depicted circumcised male genitals. So to answer your question ("who makes up this bullshit… | /r/MensRights | 12/07/12 09:09 PM |
| 1 | Banning circumcision of ALL males is anti-semitism. /sThing is I'm fairly sure the girl didn't ask for it. It's not so much age of consent [for ear piercing], but being old enough to consent in my book. (Honestly: 4 is a young enough age that, if mom says "do you want earrings like mommy?" of course the kid is going to say yes. At least for me, at that age, my parents' word was practically gospel when it meant I got something out of the deal. Even if that something was a hole in my ear to stick cute things into.) Because I agree wholeheartedly, my … | /r/MensRights | 27/06/12 06:05 PM |
| 3 | On the Rape Crisis England male rape support page: "Most perpetrators of sexual violence are male and most victims are female" - because even after being raped a man needs to be reminded how 'privileged' the rest of his gender is.any kind of penetration without the victim's consent I was thinking it meant that forced-to-penetrate would be included. As that is still "penetration of another person" without the victims consent? It doesn't necessarily say that the victim has to be penetrated, at least not the way I read it. A bit ambiguous, but I'm hoping forced-to-penetrate is included. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/12 05:38 PM |
| 6 | On the Rape Crisis England male rape support page: "Most perpetrators of sexual violence are male and most victims are female" - because even after being raped a man needs to be reminded how 'privileged' the rest of his gender is.It doesn't even say anything about men and other men. It is just man on woman and woman on woman, nothing about man on man or woman on man. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/12 01:53 PM |
| 2 | On the Rape Crisis England male rape support page: "Most perpetrators of sexual violence are male and most victims are female" - because even after being raped a man needs to be reminded how 'privileged' the rest of his gender is.The other thing is, does that not imply that rape with something like a dildo is not rape? EDIT: Would such a thing count as rape in the states, either? I suppose it could be considered sexual assault but quite honestly the term doesn't do it justice. It's not that the rapist must have a penis, it's that the penetration must be with a penis. I'm with you, I can't begin to comprehend how such stupidity could be codified. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/12 01:50 PM |
| 4 | Banning circumcision of ALL males is anti-semitism. /sThat being said: I believe Muslims do not practice infant circumcision. I think Jews do it between 8 to 13 days old, whereas Muslims did it between 6 to 13 years of age. Still a pretty young kid. More than capable of understanding what is about to happen, but far too young to actually say anything to stop it, in my opinion. Thing is: My parents are Lutheran, I was circumcised as an infant. It is certainly not a tenant of the Lutheran faith. Especially considering Lutherans think all the OT stuff… | /r/MensRights | 27/06/12 01:44 PM |
| 3 | Banning circumcision of ALL males is anti-semitism. /sThis is the thing that gets me, though: I quite like the aesthetics of a circumcised penis. Can't exactly fault me for having an opinion. However, if I was given the choice? Even if I wanted a circumcision? I probably wouldn't have it done past the age of consent because of the pain and recovery process [please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that it takes a few painful weeks to heal]. So basically I'd be excluded on the count of it being an absolutely barbaric pr… | /r/MensRights | 27/06/12 01:20 PM |
| 0 | Banning circumcision of ALL males is anti-semitism. /sYeah I remember babysitting for a little girl, she must've been only 3 or 4 when her mom had her ears pierced. I remember thinking it was strange, because I grew up in a household where my older sister had to pretty much fight [argue] to have her ears pierced before the age of 18. It just irks me to the core: because doing things like this (piercing ears or religious circumcision) before age of consent, or before consent is even possible, turns your kid into a glorified fashion or religious stat… | /r/MensRights | 27/06/12 01:06 PM |
| 1 | Co-worker: "Sexism only applies to women, not men."Thank you for sharing this, a very insightful look at the etymology of the phrase. An upvote simply wasn't enough! | /r/MensRights | 26/06/12 09:15 PM |
| 1 | TheEscapist: Rape vs. Murder in VideogamesThe thing is: that attitude frankly appalls and disturbs me. (That men would welcome sexual advance.) I'm not saying it isn't true, anecdotally I've seen it far too much. - But it is not true for me, and having grown up with two sisters it perturbs me to see some of my best friends in this world welcome sex as some act nearly devoid of emotional meaning. To them: sex is welcomed because it feels good, not because of any emotional ties. I can't say who's at fault. I can only say I'm appalled that… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/12 08:57 PM |
| 1 | TheEscapist: Rape vs. Murder in VideogamesYou make a great point, I never really thought about it like that. I'm a huge fan of the Counter-Strike series, and their faces were (and are) terribly rendered. Plus zombie games? The face is usually horribly disfigured, nearly unrecognizable as a once human form. Even in modern shooters people are usually in full combat gear that masks their face pretty well, despite being well rendered. Another series I was a fan of: FEAR. Now in FEAR 3, the cutscenes can get pretty disturbing - because only … | /r/MensRights | 26/06/12 08:52 PM |
| 3 | Why We Protect Girls Better Than Boys | Psychology TodayYeah, the breaking bones was all really stupid stuff. My older sister fell out of a tree, my younger sister actually got pushed down (in a game of flag football); caught herself, and broke both wrists! The irony of course is that my older sister now gets up on ladders and cherry pickers and lifts heavy equipment and irons costumes all day, while I sit behind my desk browsing reddit. And while I would never touch a tablesaw, she has cut set pieces on a few occasions. | /r/MensRights | 26/06/12 08:21 PM |
| 1 | Why We Protect Girls Better Than Boys | Psychology TodayI wasn't trying to make the argument, I could've been more clear but I was just trying to point out that I've heard it used before. I mean I just have to wonder how much truth there is too it. I have what I guess you could call a paternal instinct, I think. I certainly want to have kids, and I'd give anything to protect my flesh and blood. At the same time it's not so much an instinct as it is a philosophy. Like you said: they're small and weak, they need my protection. That being said they've d… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/12 07:29 PM |
| 2 | Why We Protect Girls Better Than Boys | Psychology TodayThis made me reflect on a fact from my childhood: I'd say my parents protected my siblings and I well enough. (I am the middle brother to an older and younger sister.) Yet I, the boy, have never broken any bones. My older sis has broken one, and my younger sis has broken two. Not particularly relevant, just interesting. What is relevant is that they were constantly told not to do stupid things (such as climbing too high in the tree), I don't remember being warned as often. Going even further: I … | /r/MensRights | 26/06/12 07:19 PM |
| 4 | Why We Protect Girls Better Than Boys | Psychology TodayI've heard plenty of tellings of how the old man will be cleaning a gun in the living room when the BF will be visiting for the first time. To see it in popular culture like that, the idea must be grounded in some sort of reality. | /r/MensRights | 26/06/12 07:13 PM |
| 3 | Why We Protect Girls Better Than Boys | Psychology TodayWell and part of it is chalked up to the "maternal instinct", no? That you could never harm a kid because inherently you want to be a mom (and therefore protective of a kid)? I find that to be patently false, I know several girls who want nothing to do with kids. Not that they go out of their way to hate kids or something as disagreeable as that; but they simply don't like the act of taking care of a child nor do they have any desire to be a mother. Combine that with plenty of cases of negligent… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/12 07:09 PM |
