| 3 | Disney Spent $15 Billion To Limit Their AudienceI love the idea that you can only buy products that are advertised to you. Also the fact that this article, which claims to be against sexism, is sexist by pretty much saying 'a girl can't buy these toys now because she'll only want Black Widow or Gamorra. A girl won't want to play with Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, or Iron Man, those are for boys.' | /r/MensRights | 14/05/15 07:34 PM |
| 11 | More teach men not to rape bullshit with fake stats.I would genuinely like to see consent talk in school too. But not the feminist version of "girls are the only group whose consent is important (since boys always have sex on the mind and will do it with whoever will offer) and if she even stutters before giving consent, then the boy's a rapist". I would like to see the facts laid out to the kids. "Boys, if a girl has had even a drop of alcohol, you're a rapist." "Boys, if you've had any alcohol, no matter how much, and she says 'no', you're stil… | /r/MensRights | 22/04/15 08:56 PM |

| 1 | This is the sexual grievance industry's "proof" that "the rate of false allegations is between 2 to 10 percent"Yeah, let's just use their logic for a second. 52.2% of accusations do not proceed to prosecution or disciplinary action? Well therefore, 52.2% of accusations can't be proven true, thus they're false. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/14 04:26 PM |
| 3 | Men's Rights isn't the appropriate title.I understand what you're trying to say here, but to me, it's essentially like saying "the NAACP should disband because, even though they're fighting for equality, they're only focusing on the troubles black people face, and thus aren't truly an equal rights group." | /r/MensRights | 26/10/14 09:09 PM |
| 8 | A discussion in/r/gaybros about gay men fearing to associate with male children brings very concerning issuesI completely understand what this guy's going through. I used to work at Target and would frequently chat to the little kids who came through line and ask them stuff like 'how are you doing?' and basic generic questions. I would frequently get parents just making sure not to take their eyes off me, or at very least walking over to be closer to their kid. Keep in mind too, my female co-workers would go up and get right in the children's faces or even put their hands on them. I'm not flamboyant or… | /r/MensRights | 26/10/14 08:52 PM |
| 40 | TIL just deleted a post about male victims of domestic abuseExactly! What's even funnier was that some of the comments (luckily they seemed to be very well downvoted) were along the lines of "typical MRAs trying to make everything about men; what about the women here!?!" Do they genuinely not see their own hypocrisy? | /r/MensRights | 26/10/14 04:16 PM |

While a lot of consent-culture content is aimed at male perpetrators due to the proportions of female rapes, there is no excuse for male victims of rape to not be validated and supported as well.

| 3 | As a man, I don't understand how circumcision became a men's rights issue.Okay, well clearly we're not going to agree since your stance is that an uncircumcised penis is imperfect. So I don't really think there's any more point in discussing. | /r/MensRights | 18/10/14 09:11 PM |
| 2 | As a man, I don't understand how circumcision became a men's rights issue.Waiting on a response still. I can ask again if you've forgotten. It's not a men's rights position because the whole point of men's rights is respecting men and boys and not treating them like they're disposable or need to be corrected. | /r/MensRights | 18/10/14 08:46 PM |
| 2 | As a man, I don't understand how circumcision became a men's rights issue.Why can't circumcision wait? Again, you've 'forgotten' to answer my question. Edit: How is circumcision a value?

| 2 | As a man, I don't understand how circumcision became a men's rights issue.How is circumcision 'laying the groundwork for a better future'? Why can't it wait?

Your response along with the quoted part from your previous response pretty much tells me all I need to know. You don't care about your son enough to be concerned with what he wants. All it is to you is: 'Well, what if he doesn't care enough to get himself circumcised when he's older; I better make sure he does what I want and get him cut now so he doe… | /r/MensRights | 18/10/14 08:25 PM |
| 4 | As a man, I don't understand how circumcision became a men's rights issue.Okay, now you've completely gone off the deep-end comparing circumcision to going to school. A circumcision is not a habit. It's not something that has to be done to an infant at the expense that they'll be failures in life if it doesn't happen. Not getting your infant son circumcised is not steering him in any direction let alone the wrong direction. And anyways, what does he 'miss out' on if he doesn't ever get circumcised? | /r/MensRights | 18/10/14 08:16 PM |
| 4 | As a man, I don't understand how circumcision became a men's rights issue.'Yes' is a choice that can be made whenever; it's also a permanent choice. 'No' allows your son to make that choice for himself. Why do you believe that 'yes' is the better choice? Why not let your son make the decision for himself? Whenever I talk about this I always use the analogy of getting your ears pierced permanently. If you had your ears pierced as an infant and were fine with it as an adult, that's great. But what if you did the same for your son and he doesn't like it when he's an adul… | /r/MensRights | 18/10/14 08:06 PM |
| 7 | As a man, I don't understand how circumcision became a men's rights issue.I'm circumcised and I'm also fine with it. You are a man. I think that, as a man, your choices SHOULD draw disapproval from the sort of person who weeps over every goddamn thing. It's that kind of thing that makes you sound delusional. Along with the whole 'a father should get his son cut simply because he is'. You're, of course, free to have your own opinion too, but why do you think it's your choice to make for your son? | /r/MensRights | 18/10/14 07:57 PM |

She surveyed the students, these were the results.I know I'm okay because I've never had any issues with being circumcised. I understand what you're trying to say, but I don't think that circumcision is some sort of automatic death sentence that some people make it out to be. At the same time, I don't think leaving your child uncircumcised is bad or wrong either which is why I don't feel it's a decision for a parent to make for an infant. I agree that the only way to change things is to bring awareness to people and point out that it's not nece… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/14 03:33 AM |
| 3 | My professor tried to lecture objectively about circumcisions, but I feel she was leaning more towards our way of looking at it. She surveyed the students, these were the results.Don't just attack him on religion. I completely agree with him that it's a cultural thing too. I'm Christian, but my parents reason for circumcising me wasn't that, it was because my dad was to and so it made sense to them. I don't agree with him that circumcision is okay, but don't act like you're better than him because you personally don't believe in 'some fictional god'. It makes you sound ignorant. | /r/MensRights | 16/10/14 09:07 PM |
| 2 | My professor tried to lecture objectively about circumcisions, but I feel she was leaning more towards our way of looking at it. She surveyed the students, these were the results.I am actually a religious person though just so you know. And you're right, there are tribes who permanently modify their children, and we look at it as barbaric. And there's a big difference between an indigenous tribe and a first world nation. I genuinely don't see it becoming illegal either, but just because somethings not illegal doesn't mean it's not wrong. To me, it sort of follows the whole "everyone else is doing it" argument. | /r/MensRights | 16/10/14 09:00 PM |

She surveyed the students, these were the results.I completely agree with you about how it's a cultural thing. Like I said, I'm fine with being circumcised. And as far as the pleasure part, I've seen people argue 'well I lost 60% of my possible pleasure since I was circumcised'. I don't agree with that idea at all though because if you were circumcised as an infant, you're not going to know any difference between pleasure when you're old enough to have sex. And I personally don't feel that sex isn't pleasurable enough either being circumcised. … | /r/MensRights | 16/10/14 08:02 PM |

One man who hated women=Every MRA Hundreds of feminists call for the death of men, are misandrists, are fine with the way men suffer because of 'privilege', but NAFALT.

You do realize these are discussion boards, right? As in, you don't just throw out a question, people answer, and if you're not satisfied you just listen until you hear what you want to hear. People will ask you follow up questions and if you can't answer them (or more likely in your case, you refuse to), then I implore you to not start threads. So you agree that taking away someone's due process rights is bad. Okay, that's a start. Now I'm ask you a… | /r/MensRights | 15/10/14 09:37 PM |

Maybe there was more interest for this fair over one for servicemen. Maybe there's a group on campus that funded this event. I honestly can't tell with just the information from the poster. Just because there's an event honoring women, doesn't mean it's immediately anti-men.

I don't know, maybe that they don't have to imitate everything they see and that just because there's no ideal role model or no role model at all that you can be your own person.

How exciting! Finally, I don't have to actually voice that I don't want what someone wants to do with/to me!" If you, as an adult, are unwilling to tell someone 'no' because it's too awkward, you don't want them not to like you, or whatever reason you have, you're not mature enough to be having sex. | /r/MensRights | 29/09/14 05:56 PM |

| 3 | Is anyone here willing to admit they are a feminist also?It sounds like you've pretty much made up your mind on the matter then. And if anyone's spent too much time on a subreddit, it's you, on the feminism subreddit, because it sure seems like you have the typical feminist "agree with me or you're wrong" attitude. But for real, all those points that SwanOfAvon22 made are true, and if you don't believe that, then you need to do some more research. | /r/MensRights | 15/09/14 05:24 PM |
| 4 | Is anyone here willing to admit they are a feminist also?Okay, first off, calling the MRA misogynist, sexist, slut-shaming, etc. isn't defining it based on 'the negatives'. Those words are used by people who disagree with the MRM. It's stupid to think that 'the down-side' of the MRA is that it's hateful towards women. Secondly, SwanOfAvon22 has it perfectly right. If you go to a feminist and ask if they believe in patriarchy theory, rape culture and all the other typical feminist rhetoric, they'd most likely say yes. | /r/MensRights | 15/09/14 04:18 PM |

| 2 | My take on the Ray Rice video...Okay, first of all, that's ridiculous to say that a physically stronger person needs to be held to a higher standard. You're expecting that a person, who's being assaulted, if bigger than the person attacking them, should pause for a moment and think about just how much force they can use. And not only that, but chances are if a person's being assaulted, they're going to be either angry or fearful or both.

Ray Rice's fiancee was intending to hurt him, it doesn't matter how much bigger he is or how much stronger he is or how little pain people perceive he would receive from her hitting him and antagonizing him. I do agree with you on the no hitting rule; I think if people just followed that things would be okay, but that's not realistic because people get caught up in the moment and for some people their reaction is violence.

The situation would go along the lines of he hits her, she might slap back, he continues to antagonize her, finally, she just punches him in the balls, collapses, and hits his head on the railing knocking him unconscious.

Especially after reading the AskReddit post about men who were raped by women.1- There is one single surefire way of ensuring that women don't get raped — and it's by teaching men not to do it. To stop rape, we need to teach men not to rape, not teach women that it's their responsibility to prevent it. Of course... assuming that women don't rape.

I am a circumcised male and if given the choice when I was born to be circumcised or not I would tell my parents to do it.I somewhat agree with you for the fact that I'm circumcised as well and I've never had any medical problems or had really any problem feeling pleasure. But I think the issue here is that it's doing something permanent to your body without your permission. You said if you had the choice at birth you'd still be circumcised; I would be too.

That just seems perfectly at odds with the feminist idea of 'it's her body, not his; he doesn't get a choice'. And then, they grasp at straws even further by saying 'even men can get abortions.

| 1 | Oh AU... More "I Need Feminism" Posts.I definitely agree with you there. I would add too (something I forgot to mention in my first post) that men are also shamed much more if we're not heterosexual. No one really tends to look twice in my experience at lesbians, especially if they're attractive. But if a guy's gay, even if people aren't negative towards him, there'll always be the whole 'he's not as much of a man' thing. So I don't see how feminists claim that men are so sexually free while they're so vilified. | /r/MensRights | 30/04/14 10:56 PM |

It'd be like naming a movement "Equality for Everyone" but focusing on only immigrant issues for example. It doesn't make sense.

I understand where you're coming from in your concern, but it's sort of naive (and please don't take that as an insult because I don't mean it to be).

This is just further proof of how little society thinks of women and how misogynistic everyone is'.

It just takes that big misconception that 'if you have a boner, you actually wanted it' and throws it out the window by him telling her 'no' even after he gets hard.

Pretty disappointedThe worst part about this is that it takes basic, good safety advice and turns it into 'you don't want me to do anything ever and think that if I'm victimized it's solely based on what I do, say, or act like'. Giving a woman (or anyone for that matter) advice on how they can reduce their risk of being victimized isn't the same as blaming the person if they then are victimized. But if you're willingly putting yourself at risk then you do share a part of the responsibility as you made it easier fo… | /r/MensRights | 12/03/14 01:59 PM |
