I stumbled across the book "Spreading Misandry" on amazon and purchased it. It opened my eyes to the movement and the fact that men were not treated fairly in regards to the media. This opened my eyes to the fact that men had issues that need to be addressed and shortly thereafter I discovered r/MR.

You want a good succinct reply from MRAs? Okay, how about this. We believe in equality and that males in modern society are not given a fair chance to pursue our own goals in various areas. The government is investing heavily in women's health and is seeing great results in reducing negative results when it comes to cervical, breast, and ovarian cancers. Many lives have been saved while, unfortunately, a department of men's health has failed to be established various times by congress. We can sa…

I'm happy to see an article calling out Manhood academy. The site is, at best, a haven for PUA and, at worst, a community of would be date rapists and misogynists. The word is thrown around way too often but if you read their literature it seems they actually hate women.

I would not exclude other factors but often it boils down to the fact that people need the basics, food, water, shelter, and this requires wealth that can only be acquired in another labor market that is flush with cash but not with labor. This is one of the primary reasons a lot of economists are talking about the future of the world economy being Turkey, Egypt and the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) due to their young populations.

Even though it's the modern day it's still much easier for one person to relocate and make a living than an entire family. To make a living in a boom area you have to put up with terrible conditions but the money makes one accept the terrible situation. Men in the US deal with it when they move to the Baccus oil field region. They live in a section of a room for three times or more the money of an average one bedroom apartment.

Men are leaving to make money to send home to their families. It has been a a terrible but necessary evil throughout history whether it be Chinese sojourners, Mexicans moving northward for work or Filipinos going to Japan to work in construction. Society says men should provide financial support for their families but unfortunately there is not always a local source of income for the brood.

What problems do we have as men in this country that requires such a movement? Men are forced to sign up for the draft which essentially allows the government to will any man of young age to be murdered at their whim. The old saying that "justice is blind" has been cast by the wayside as sentences for the exact same crime vary by as much as 90 percent depending on sex. When a man rightfully gets ten years for a sex crime and a woman walks with probation for the exact same crime we have to ask wh…

Fighting inequality with inequality is not really the best approach. Women consumed more health services and were charged more because of it. Legislation was passed to ban this practice. The same action should taken to forbid the charging of greater rates for men. This issue shouldn't be about women living longer but about the causes of the shorter life expectancy for men.

Many colleges consider race as a contributing factor in the admission process. Many Asians and Caucasians score high on the areas in which colleges consider for acceptance. As such a significant portion of those that are qualified are not allowed into institutions of higher education due to nothing but their race.

It's actually a conservative satirical protest against the way in which college admissions are decided. White people are disadvantaged, as are those of Asian decent, by the admission process.

I understand how one can assume that men in power create great technology and great catastrophe but there really has never been a test base to see if a female led society wouldn't lead to the same pitfalls. The motives for war and conflict are universal human needs and flaws. Greed for wealth or power, revenge, or the need to secure basic resources to support a society are usually the root cause.

r/feminism is a more open forum than other subs and there are a few key aspects that seem to tweak those of the r/feminisms set. There are a good amount of things but a few I noticed at first glance were... Instead of linking to SRS they link to antiSRS They state that equalities between the genders is important and link to r/masculism They openly denounce SRS as a source of hate speech and harassment

That is true but there are a lot of weaknesses in the law that could be manipulated to allow for better services for men. Modern statutes often are now using inclusive language like "individuals" or "citizens" and this has led to court verdicts to expand paternity leave and men's shelters at least in the U.K. The U.S. is not going to get decent legislators anytime soon so any advances are going to come in the form of re-arguing and reinterpreting current laws.

to allow politicians to ignore public opinion when starting wars. Also there is the tax angle. During all the previous wars taxes were levied that were a constant reminder to the general public that the government was incurring enormous debt. The pay-go system was not even considered by the previous administration as a means to fund their activities.

Legally they can call a draft anytime they want. Throughout the peace time era they convinced an enormous amount of ignorant individuals with the explicit promise they would be forced to fight into the reserve and the guard. This was the only reason we did not have a draft.

Men have the right to vote based on the idea that we will die for stupid reasons for our government. Oddly enough there is a backward movement among feminists to make women eligible for the draft in the name of equality. Conscription is the way of the past and I really hope that Americans will realize that forcing people to murder for idiotic reasons is unacceptable both for moral and practical reasons.

My comparison may be seen as hyperbolic but the act as at least equivalent to the much maligned practice of female circumcision in the middle east. You are sacrificing functionality and anatomy for aesthetics and cultural acceptance. The decrease in infection rates is not significant enough to warrant mandating the practice for all male children.

I think the men that are circumcised will realize just how incorrect their parents were in their actions. The circumcision of the modern male is akin to the lobotomy of the previous generations where the intentions were pure and understandable but the actions were based on pseudoscience and cultural concerns.

You may find my position unacceptable but the judgement and reasoning skills of eleven year olds (a 5th or 6th grader) is severely lacking. While they may have some semblance of right and wrong they have no idea of severity of actions. Nine years later she realized her horrible mistake but she had become almost a different person in that span and probably shouldn't be punished. It's the same reasoning that brought about the need for statues of limitation.

I think there is a greater social support network for women than there than there is for men. If you are a guy and you fail at life it's assumed it was due to a lack of knowledge or not working hard enough. Often women's failing are accepted as due to an unjust system or a temporary setback.

That's one part of it. Also there are very few movies directed at minority audiences.

I agree with you on separating out the perception of violence based on gender alone. I consider this to be a macro issue and my concern is more on the micro level.

Getting beaten up may or may not lead to PTSD but I think when it comes to rape it is almost universal. The combination of violence and sex often leads to sexual dysfunction and other issues with victims.

Dealing with the negative effects of rape is easier due to technology but it's still a bad crime. I wouldn't say it's worse than being disfigured with acid but it's still far worse than the author claims. Also he may be trying to be provocative but he turns off readers by seeming to act like rape is closer to being mugged than being psychologically destroyed.

The happy nuclear 50s family was more myth than fact. It was a time not when morality ruled by when the appearance of it did. Kids need two parents and statistics show it's better if they are married but this, more often than not, is just not possible.

In many ways you are right. If you want to get into the unfortunate reality of gender politics it boils down to two main points. The Democratic party is the party that institutes large social programs. Women vote for them in significant numbers so social programs should be directed toward them to maintain their base. Men tend to split between parties and offering greater benefits isn't going to sway them. The American Bar Association is a large lobbying group and litigation is good for business.…

Private property is a bit of a misnomer. It's not like it was a person's home or cabin or anything. This is a business open to the public that has now banned one group of people from it.

Suggestions for points you should focus on. Point 1: Men are routinely given longer sentences for crimes and are more likely to receive the death penalty for crimes. In family court men are far a away less likely to receive joint custody of their children due to the fact that women are seen as the preferred parent.

I've known a few foster parents and they could take care of kids in the short term but never adopt them.

There is the argument that this a "big brother" kind of move on the part of the government and that idea does have merit but it would be good if birth certificates could state, without uncertainty, the mother and the father of the child.

The numbers they throw out would be much closer in the states. I would like to see an examination of this sort in the U.S. The European countries they cite have generous welfare systems that allow women to take off years to raise children making it so they never have to drive to work. This and their various awesome social programs make the numbers effectively useless. Also every time I think of Time I'm reminded of this video.

In some sectors yes but in many urban center women make more than when they are in a situation similar to men (single, no kids, focused on salary over benefits). If you have a minute look at this article. Quoted below. ...in 147 out of 150 of the biggest cities in the U.S., the median full-time salaries of young women are 8% higher than those of the guys in their peer group. In two cities, Atlanta and Memphis, those women are making about 20% more.

"men EARN more money", "women spend more money" If you have a country that is mostly based on consumerism a.k.a. economic maturbation, you are actually better off subsidizing consumption.

Women do die in wars but at incredibly low numbers. Between WWI, WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the two wars we are currently waging over 600 thousand men have lost their lives. Throughout the same conflicts a grand total of about 1500 U.S. servicewomen died or about .25 percent of the total losses.

My problem with civil cases is that they are often abused because the standard of evidence is not "beyond a shadow of a doubt" but instead the plaintiff only has to be 51 percent right. Janet Napolitano used civil courts as a way to raise money for her state by using this to her advantage. Using speed cameras people could probably win in a criminal court but by prosecuting people in the civil court her administration just had to be a little more right than the defendant.

Marriages often cost in the tens of thousands of dollars so, yes, I'd say there is a flourishing marriage industry.

Avoiding those issues is really just an opinion of mine. I think that marriage and alimony issues are a little more controversial and harder to explain in what I assume is only a chapter within your greater lecture plan. Also data can be somewhat easily found for the other points by looking at government figures for suicide deaths and admissions and graduation records for lagging academic achievement. It seems like every other week another article comes out on these topics.

I would put an emphasis on the decline of men in education, the way in which society discourages men from seeking psychological help and how this contributes to drastically higher suicide rates, and the misandry that pervades pop culture.

If this is something that interests you pickup a copy of "Spreading Misandry" from your library. The authors explore the trend of TV, movies, and books profiting off of portraying men as either villainous lechers or unintelligent codependent wimps. Unfortunately this kind of sexist stuff appeals to men to an insane degree. Abandonment of gender stereotypes has been part of feminism for decades and it annoys me. Primarily because it says that women can do everything a man can but not vice versa. …

Apart from the six pack abs women have always told me they find the insanely tone "V" attractive below the abdomen. You are right about definition, no matter how much one exercises you sometimes can't get the abs, the "V", or the pecs to show up.

Did anyone really doubt where he stood on men's issues? In "Audacity" he spoke about cracking down on deadbeat dads such as his own.

People would definitely have more concern about a man acting as a nanny, though I think a male caretaker would be a different experience for a child that could bring good benefits (possibly more outdoor activity). As far as the CFO thing goes the qualifications are what should matter.

The death rate in the military is pretty low and most Russian males don't live long enough to die of lung cancer from smoking.

Russia has the lowest life expectancy for males in Europe. Between suicide, alcoholism and death by drinking alcoholic non-food items like rubbing alcohol the life expectancy is only 59.5 years.

I'd always assumed Mexico's laws would favor men or at the very least treat them equally under the law. Mexico seems to be going the way of Australia creating tons of disincentives to entering into a relationship.

I'm a fan of democratic socialism. I disagree with democrats because of their anti male stance though so I vote third party.

I'm glad to see some scholarly work on the issue. Books about misandry are great but a doctoral or master dissertation has much more weight.

That didn't really surprise me. There are a lot of people that still believe in the pseudoscience of astrology. I know that criminal records are more or less public but uncovering properties you own just seems wrong.

When a male teacher has sex with a female student everyone screams rape and the guys goes to prison for years and is put on a sex offender registry. When a female teacher has sex with a male student the media and people generally consider it to be a lesser crime and the courts give the woman months in jail or sometime even probation. Life isn't fair but it's assumed that the government should be, same crime should equal same time. In short, it's relevant.

Yeah I saw that as well. I think most of their mothers' ideas of what it means to be a woman are becoming less and less common. The ballerina, make up obsessed archetype is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

As of 2002 there are 138 million men in this country. If just ten percent, about 14 million people, acted as Katz says all men do society would collapse within weeks and, as you said, the streets would be bloody. Personally I don't trust any women's studies students to be free of bias against men.

I don't get the drive to fight nature. Even if you were to get the desired gender there is no assurance that the girl won't be masculine in nature or simply disinterested in pink, cliche girl activities.

Fight for survival is definitely acceptable but Katz pushes a stance that all men lack self control and glorify violence. I know it's only anecdotal but out of everyone I know only one male has ever shown violent tendencies.

I've been forced to watch this movie in high school and in college and the guy, while well educated, show a distinct bias against men. Minoring in Women's studies probably helped to cultivate this belief he seems to hold that all men are violent and those that aren't are beaten and bullied into being violent by those who are.

He stated that the odds were closer to 1 in 8. Sometimes feminists will claim 1 in 3 women will be raped or otherwise sexually assaulted in their lifetime. As far as credibility goes I see no problem with Levitt. He's a Harvard educated author who specializes in statistics and probability, two things that are not effected by gender politics.

In his book "Freakonomics" the economist Steven Levitt claims that sexual assaults occur to 1 in 8 women in their lifetime, not the 1 in 3 that's so often claimed.

I don't see as a matter of context but more so as a matter of politics. The word is closely tied to Rush and I've seen militant feminists cite this point when trying to shout down MRAs. I've always seen men's rights as neither a left nor a right issue but as a simple fairness issue. To those on the other side the word feminazi is only used by "dittoheads".
/r/MensRights19/09/09 10:07 PM

I don't take offense to the word "feminazi" but I think a word with less of a stigma attached to it would be far more effective. Using any words coined, or at least celebrated, by Rush Limbaugh degrades MRA discourse.

I've watched the videos and they are edited in such a way as to distort or, at best, omit most of the "damning" evidence. Context is left out, voice overs say what happened instead of video that just shows that part of the conversation, and so on. ACORN may have problems but these tapes are simply a set up. Also this sting was attempted five times prior at different sites but they failed to find someone of low moral character at the other locations.

I don't really fault my father for the choices he's made in his life. He's at the top of his field and he has taken great care of the family. I've just always been a little bitter about the fact that he left us in the care of people who had no business taking care of kids. For a number of years the house was a hellish place to be. He and my mother would work and I would be left in the care of my eldest brother who would beat the ever living shit out of my brother and sister and would hang me fro…

The way one's father acts greatly effects the way in which a child's personality is shaped over time. My father would exit the house at five thirty in the morning, get home at six in the evening, make dinner, and then drink himself to sleep by consuming a bottle of wine. The last six years I lived in my parents house my father and I did not exist on the same floor of the house. I think I saw him twice on the base floor on which I lived in that time. Eventually I just gave up on trying to know hi…

The book was pretty badass, definitely worth buying in order to read the full text. The following book, Legalizing Misandry, is more relevant to mensrights though. There are one or two more due out to complete the anthology.

The "Beyond the Fall of Man" series got me interested in Mensrights. Spreading Misandry, Legalizing Misandry, and the, as yet unreleased, Transcending Misandry do much to illuminate the ways in which men are getting an unfair deal in modern American and Canadian culture. They are the closest thing I've seen to a primer while still remaining scholarly.

This bill was allowed to die three times prior to this incarnation. Men are more likely to get cancer, die earlier, and die more often from chronic diseases than their female counterparts. The government has announced on numerous occasions how many women have been saved by the office of womens health, counterpart to this office is the right thing to do.

In many areas if you are allowed to run video within the privacy of your own home as long as it's not in the bathrooms. If this happened I would instruct the guy not to continue videotaping without consent and I would bring charges against the false accuser.

If your friend is wast of the Cascades he doesn't stand much of a chance. The courts tend to favor women in all matter especially divorce. Eastern Washington tends to have fairer trials but ultimately longer sentences. It's kind of a crapshoot either way. More than likely this is all a setup by the mother.

Astro, thanks, seriously. I'm always surfing the mens rights sub-reddit and, though the arguments are well laid out, I've never been able to track down studies to debunk the feminist assertion that false rape claims are about as rare as an ocelot singing German folk music.
