| 2 | Where can I find peace whilst surrounded by people who hate men?I was basically in a similar position to you about ten years ago. I just ended up dropping connection with every person who pushed online politics. I remain comfortably left of Bernie Sanders politically, but I have absolutely no interest in any part of the progressive project any more. So, I have strong sympathy for you. This sucks. It's not as simple as just finding new people to hang out with, especially when you get it from your family. There aren't any really good answers for finding compan… | /r/MensRights | 09/03/26 03:19 AM |
| 0 | What does a Gen Z man like me REALLY owe society to where he needs to stay alive to preserve it?it's because you're trying to sell something using AI slop to buffer your words. To people watching from the sidelines: Nobody who genuinely holds views this strident uses this voice while writing. /u/Technical_Bet_9785 is showing a grasp of grammar and composition that do not exist in young people who are so deeply cooked. | /r/MensRights | 20/11/25 10:25 PM |
| 3 | What does a Gen Z man like me REALLY owe society to where he needs to stay alive to preserve it?Hey OP? This person is lying to you, either because they're an idiot child or because they want something from you. This is the exact same scam you're decrying with different frosting smeared over its rot. There was no recent past of 2005 where everyone got along. Going back 40 years before that, there was still no point where everyone got along. People's ability to find and form communities of fellowship was much better in the 90's than it was in the 70's. I watched, in real time, as the rules … | /r/MensRights | 20/11/25 06:31 PM |
| 2 | What does a Gen Z man like me REALLY owe society to where he needs to stay alive to preserve it?On no, leaning into the role as soon as you're given an 'atta boy' just makes you a whore, my good sir. The only thing you owe society is the same opportunity to pay forward the deprogramning that you received. The West has rejected the life of self-actualization and plenty that we were on track to develop so that a few thousand people can play status games. The only sane response is to withdraw one's support in holding off the eventual collapse. The only route to any kind of self-actualization … | /r/MensRights | 20/11/25 06:19 PM |
| 0 | What the UN decides to celebrate today instead of... you know... stuff that actually mattersOh, it's funnier and worse than that. There are plenty of places in the world where the lack of indoor plumbing means that women face significant risks associated with nighttime bathroom use at communal squat toilets. Safe access to bathroom facilities is totally a legitimate feminist issue in certain parts of the world. | /r/MensRights | 20/11/25 06:07 PM |
| 1 | How were effeminate men treated across cultures in the past?.. And why do we expect that their treatment will get betterIt's worth noting that the traits that made one effeminate have varied a lot over the centuries. So, when I say that the treatment of men identified as effeminate has been poor, you have to understand that things considered sissified in one time and place might have been considered shameful to lack in another. A big example is how much stoicism men were supposed to have around art like the theater, or anything else intended to provoke emotional responses. In the US, we generally view the Victori… | /r/MensRights | 05/04/25 06:05 AM |
| 1 | How to overcome the shame created by feminism?You can learn a lot about being a man by watchinging Dadvocate's "Womansplaining Men to Women" series. She's pretty goddamn insightful, and unless you find a video to be completely off-base, you can compare what you know about yourself to how she explains it to understand both what your life looks like from the outside, and how to get women to understand who you are. I think Roma Army's still doing stuff, but her stuff is a little less stringently educational and a little more sensationalist rag… | /r/MensRights | 05/04/25 05:54 AM |
| 1 | "Although men can be victims, human trafficking disproportionately affects women and girls."FWIW, I'm pretty sure the idiot on twitter failed to account for much of the agricultural slavery or all of the bullshit going on in the middle east with foreign workers. I would automatically discount any discussion of human trafficking that didn't spend a while talking about the UAE and other Middle Eastern countries. OP might be harping on something irrelevant, but that broken clock just happened to be right this time. | /r/MensRights | 05/04/25 05:49 AM |
| 0 | Just as women can choose whether or not to have a child, men should also have a choice?People constantly look at abortion through the lens of its effects, rather than its causes. That is not how abortion rights work. Look at abortion in terms of who has the right to what, and THEN look at the downstream effects. For example: We give everyone a very large amount of bodily autonomy as a right. There are no situations in which an adult person is legally required to surrender their biology for the benefit of another. You can't even be forced to donate poop for a fecal transplant, even… | /r/MensRights | 03/02/25 05:59 PM |
| 4 | “Patriarchy hurts men too”The thing that everyone forgets is that patriarchy is not rule by men. It's rule by and for the benefit of patriarchs, the top men. The real hierarchy under the society described by the term Patriarchy is: Top Men, the breedable wives of top men and their male children, their other children, useful and accomplished men, fuckable women, useless men, and at the absolute bottom, unfuckable women. Patriarchy treats everything as being either useful or useless to the folks above you on the hierarchy.… | /r/MensRights | 15/11/24 10:34 PM |
| 1 | Saw this on another subreddit yesterday and thought to myself "when was the last time anyone thought to vote for their boys?"The left has to offer something to young men, some kind of hope for a better future for them. It doesn't have to be a direct bribe, though that's what separates political thought from religious thought generally. There are people for whom things are worse than they are for young, white, single, straight men - but things are also worse now for those men than they used to be. That isn't the fault of women, or minorities, or gay people - most of it really comes down to the fact that it's been a lon… | /r/MensRights | 07/11/24 10:41 AM |
| 6 | If there really was a Patriarchy, then why do we have these?This is because non-academic women who dress up their feelings in academic language do shit like this all the time. It's why "gaslighting" now means "lying" instead of the very specific act that it used to mean. In the case of Patriarchy, it's supposed a system that puts certain men at the top due to a variety of factors, that then keeps them on top by tilting the playing field in their favor. It's not "all men > all women", it's "some fraction of people > everyone else, and those people are als… | /r/MensRights | 07/11/24 10:27 AM |
| 1 | Why does a man always have to apologize and be the first to admit wrong?Maybe stop having sex with this woman? (Edit: Maybe not permanently, but stop having procreative sex while it is possible/likely for her to conceive.) If this is how she acts now, it's going to be really bad from the third to eleventh trimesters when she's emotional and mentally retarded. (Yes, I'm talking about the last three months of pregnancy and the following two years. "Pregnancy brain" can take that long to recover from.)

| 1 | She can't figure out why men don't want to stay with someone who handles cylinders for money.This is just all so weird to me. The activities recorded in porn are only superficially sex. The positions are different, the activity is different, and the intent in doing the act is different. Yes, peepee goes in hoohoo or bumbum or whatever. But putting peepee in hoohoo in order to construct a titillating image just isn't the same a fucking someone for pleasure or love. Everybody, in the image, in this subreddit, and on forums.red, that isn't me is a fucking idiot. | /r/WhereAreAllTheGoodMen | 05/06/22 09:31 PM |
| 1 | Should the husband have to split chores with the housewife?You uh, don't have any experience in this area, do you? There are people whose career is based on making videos reading the reddit posts in /r/relationships and /r/relationship_advice about this very problem. Let me split that out for you. The problem is common enough that there are enough reddit posts about that very question (the division of labor) to provide some of the material people need to earn a living making videos for youtube. It is an endemic and non-trivial problem that stumps a lot … | /r/MensRights | 04/06/22 07:37 PM |
| -1 | Should the husband have to split chores with the housewife?You have to include solo child-care in that total, though. The "degree" of labor might vary by the age of the child, of course. For example, a man working a white-collar desk job with average stress would reasonable "owe" several hours of home labor a week to a homemaker who is the only carer for two children below school age. But, when the kids are both teenagers, and contributing to the care of the home themselves, it's much less likely that a fair split of labor would require homemaking by th… | /r/MensRights | 04/06/22 07:32 PM |

| 2 | Pro-Choice women, is there a flaw in my argumentation for financial abortion rights?While your argument is interesting, it's kinda orthogonal to the arguments for child support. Child support is seen as a right of the child, not either parent. Children are seen as having a right to as much support from their living parents as is available. That's why, in almost every jurisdiction, you cannot voluntarily wave your parental rights and responsibilities, even if the other parent agrees. It's a little complicated, but that's most of the issue. Noone can agree on behalf of the kid, s… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/22 09:04 AM |

They age together. B suddenly decides he wants kids and leaves A for C(also f) to form couple 2. Couple 2 pops out a few kids. That's not anything like your scenario. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/05/22 01:21 AM |
| 3 | Women here constantly respond to every complaint by men with some variation of “women don’t owe you sex” or “sorry you can’t get your dick wet” and basically imply that sex is all that men want from women.

This is obviously false and used to once again diminish our struggles.I'm pointing out that a man can be childfree, and change his mind later, and he isn't being dishonest. He just changed his mind. Once changing his mind, he can then re-evaluate who he wants as a partner. He doesn't owe his current partner kids any more than she owes him sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/05/22 11:21 PM |
| 1 | How long does it take to become good at sex?It's not just a test, it's a test where the popular study materials are actively lying to you. Studying techniques and thinking about shit before you try it is going to work a lot better than muddling along and hoping the shit you saw in porn is effective. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/05/22 11:18 PM |
| 1 | How long does it take to become good at sex?In my experience, it took about as long for sex to go from "novel" to "enjoyable" as it did for driving a standard transmission car to go from "challenging" to "routine". I realize that doesn't help, so I'm gonna say that it's two or three months, or 2-3/week experience, so 20-40 times. Doesn't have to be with a bunch of different partners, but you need the general experience with people's bodies.

| 1 | Most of the time when men react with frustration when women reject them it is because the woman is less attractive than them and has an inflated image, not because they are “entitled to sex.” Women react the same way when they don’t get what they feel they “deserve,” yet only one is shamed for it.You're right, but there's nothing to fix. The only real and viable solution is to shame women more, not shame men less. If a woman gets pumped and dumped, it's because she's only got her looks and doesn't bring anything else to the table. It's time everyone told her that, really grind it in until it leaves a mark. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/05/22 09:49 PM |

| 4 | Men care about n-count:The MoratoriumSo, you're basing your beliefs on the US in the 50's on some myths that were never true. People prior to the 60's were not pure and totally monogamous. They were just hypocritical about it and hid their actual behaviors. Differences were mostly tied to lower opportunities due to lower population density. You're pining for a time that never was. If you're going to do that, then fucking own it and implore people to return to Camelot. Mythologizing the 1950's just shows a lack of imagination. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/05/22 08:52 PM |

| 3 | Men care about n-count:The Moratorium-. - in the 50s they didn't lose their virginity because they were promiscuous. They lost their virginity because they got married and had kids.

| 2 | Men care about n-count:The MoratoriumThis is a well known association both sociologically and genetically. I don't think there are "slut genes". It would be comforting if there were, but I don't think brains work like that. Extoversion? Sure, and that probably contributes to potential promiscuity in some people. (Experience can make the most mousy introvert slutty, as well.) But it's all too complex to be down to genetics. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/05/22 08:35 PM |

| 11 | Men care about n-count:The MoratoriumThis whole bit struck me as bullshit. Where's the man's right to change his mind? People get to update their views based on new information, y'know?

| 1 | You should not have to pay child support to a kid that isn't yoursThe child can be given up for adoption (even to a single parent with one income). Or the child can be given up to the state. Or the child can be given up as part of a surrogacy contract. I'll need a citation for anyone giving up their child to the state due to economic hardship. Otherwise, those are adoptions, of course they have special applications of the rules - they wouldn't be possible otherwise. | /r/MensRights | 22/01/20 08:25 AM |
| 1 | You should not have to pay child support to a kid that isn't yoursIt makes no exceptions ever, not even for underage rape victims. That is the horrible aspect of solving the ethical calculus here. Child support is seen by lawmakers and family courts as being a civil right of the child. It's paid as reimbursement to the parent who does the majority of the caretaking, but the right to extract the funds comes from the kid themself. Due to the way that rights work, there is no form of agreement that can be made to circumvent that kid's civil right. The kid can't v… | /r/MensRights | 22/01/20 05:45 AM |
| 6 | Genius idea: in the case of a person having to pay child support, the person should pay money to the local government, who will in turn buy things necessary for the guardian. It prevents the abuse of funds given to them in the first place!Child support is reimbursement for the expenditures and labor of the parent performing the majority of the parenting duties. It is meant to be sufficient to provide enough for the care and comfort of the children such that their lives continue more or less as if their parents were maintaining a home together. There isn't, legally speaking, much of a way to "abuse" the funds. A parent can neglect their children, but that's not child support abuse.

Even if their conception was due to a crime, they themselves are not guilty of any crime. So, the courts usually don't see a reason to curtail the child's rights.

Will you talk to me?What state can a woman unilaterally surrender her parental rights in? In Texas, a woman can surrender a child to the state, but the state will attempt to then home the child with the other parent or a blood relative. If the child is homed with either of those people, mom is still on the hook for child support. I've seen situations where an aunt was caring for a child in lieu of either parent and was receiving child support from both parents.

Additionally, organ failure can be a consequence of personal choices as much as pregnancy. Decisions on whether a person receives a transplant are based on how likely the transplant is to be successful and to maximize the number of adjusted years of life that the transplant grants. How the person got into the position of needing the transplant can have an impact on that calculation, but only if it makes the likely outcom… | /r/MensRights | 14/06/17 02:45 AM |

Middle-aged women are invisible outside of their families, and if there's no family to care about them they are completely invisible. Edit: I originally indicated #4 when I meant #3. Edit 2: Thanks for posting this, my fiance and I have had a rousing good time reading and laughing at these points. While I don't doubt that the origi… | /r/MensRights | 10/04/15 10:33 PM |
| 2 | Don't forget, in the US a woman is entitled to sue the father of her child for child support even if conception occurred as a result of a criminal act committed by the woman. But women are, like, totally oppressed and stuff!Yes, actually. Unless a formal adoption is completed an abandoning mother is still on the hook for child support to whomever is caring for the child. If a fraudulent adoption is carried out without the consent of the biological father, that father can step in and assert their own parental rights, possibly gaining custody. At that point, things get fuzzy. If custody is shared with the adopting parents, they may be on the hook for child support, otherwise it's the mom. I worked in a law firm for o… | /r/MensRights | 05/04/15 08:36 AM |
| 1 | Fiance wants to see his son, Mother of child makes it impossible.I would recommend my former boss, but you need an attorney in New Jersey. Harris County won't take the case because the child doesn't live here. However, if you do end up fighting here, contact Fathers for Equal Rights for referrals. You could also try contacting Patricia F. Bushman, (713-807-9405). She's somewhat flexible with regards to prices and payment ranges, and very experienced with this sort of thing. | /r/MensRights | 09/02/15 05:11 AM |
| 1 | Why arent we pushing for nationwide paid paternity and paid maternity leave?That's... a very strange view to have when you think about it. You're allowing for exploitation to flow in one direction but not another. We live in a world where raw materials and transport are essentially free. They have costs, but those costs are not a big part of running a business compared to labor and capital. People who own capital extract value from it by exploiting labor. Many of them manage to do so while keeping their workers reasonably happy, but there's more profit in paying the min… | /r/MensRights | 01/11/13 08:56 PM |
| 1 | Why arent we pushing for nationwide paid paternity and paid maternity leave?Well, that last part's a relief. As for suffering, the consequences of open negotiation between workers and bosses tend to be pretty harsh. In US history, one of the very important lessons that we keep forgetting is from our own history. When we had relatively weak unions and lacked strong regulation, it ended in bouts of open warfare between mercenaries and workers. There's absolutely no justification on earth to imagine that it would end differently. Government force is better than mob force b… | /r/MensRights | 01/11/13 05:45 PM |
| 1 | Why arent we pushing for nationwide paid paternity and paid maternity leave?But when it happens, it will happen quickly. Folks in the skilled trades learned that the hard way - or did you think that welding cars was something dead-end teenagers who should be flipping burgers do? | /r/MensRights | 01/11/13 05:05 PM |
| 0 | Why arent we pushing for nationwide paid paternity and paid maternity leave?Considering that there's no math backing complicated expressions of ethics beyond the iterated prisoner's dilemma, I'm going to point out that your ethics are arbitrary. Don't make the next step of reaching for evolutionary psychology, you'll get laughed at. Wanting things to be different is nice, though. I can support that. However, deciding that you're going to support decisions that assume the rest of the world cares is another. Deciding that you don't care about the very real suffering that … | /r/MensRights | 01/11/13 04:07 PM |
| -1 | Why arent we pushing for nationwide paid paternity and paid maternity leave?Yes, because that's the method that works and doesn't end in mercenaries and workers fighting in the streets. It's like you've never heard of history or something. As a culture, we figured this shit out a long time ago. I know it all sounds good and ethical, but the world outside your head just doesn't work like that, and all the should-be's in the world don't change that. | /r/MensRights | 01/11/13 10:16 AM |
| -1 | Why arent we pushing for nationwide paid paternity and paid maternity leave?It's worth noting that government force is less likely to end in business owners being strung up as an example to others. I mean, I'm cool with individual negotiation because it ends in murdering business owners, but you might just be working against your own best interests. | /r/MensRights | 01/11/13 02:34 AM |

| -2 | Fascinating discussion last night re: hypergamyMakeup and working out aren't going to correlate exactly. If I was the last person on earth, I'd still workout for the health benefits. No, if you were the last person on earth, your workout would come from all the necessary bullshit you'ld have to do to maintain a decent standard of living. I mean, I guess you could big enough gym that you could live on protein and shit in a different toilet every day, but that doesn't seem like much fun. Sorry, the silliness of your statement just brought out … | /r/TheRedPill | 05/04/13 09:33 AM |
