The list does not have to be all male but has been written by manginas for manginas.Prince Harry is a spoiled child who has not done a days work Uh, the man served in Afghanistan and founded the Invictus Games for veterans.

| 66 | As Verne Troyer dies aged 49, why we need to take male depression and suicide extremely seriouslyExactly. 6 Australian men die every day by their own hand, but the media and society as a whole would rather focus on the ONE WOMAN PER WEEK who dies by her partner's hand (even ignoring the 2 women who suicide every day). | /r/MensRights | 22/04/18 08:45 AM |

It can get seriously overwhelming when there's multiple people making messes and only one bothering to clean.

Tearing is also common, with the worst-case being a tear between the vagina and colon (in case anyone doesn't already know this, they share a wall, which is why "pooping" during delivery is common: anything in the colon is squeezed out by the baby's descent).

They're 83% of siblicides and 85% of stranger homicides, as well as 81% of acquaintance homicides, just to name a few. Page 22 shows that 85% of perpetrators were men.

That they protect women, even if it cost them their life. That they use their strength to help and/or protect others. Men are still shamed if they're not a provider. They're shamed if they can't find a relationship. They're shamed if they show too much of an emotion, no matter what it is.

But others don't, and children are unable to adequately understand what it means, and thus are not able to provide their consent to it. And yes, their parents are legally able to provide consent on behalf of the child, but honestly, I believe that since it's not their body, and they're not the ones who have to live with it, they shouldn't be allowed to except in the event of being medically necessary.

How does that make ANY kind of sense?The idea is to punish men while not also punishing women. Pretty much.

Mum came over one day after I begged for her help. She cared for my son while I got just a couple of hours of sleep during the day. She's awesome :) | /r/MensRights | 06/02/14 10:10 PM |
| 4 | A stupid male Journalist writes "Two weeks' paternity leave is a waste of time" but gets shouted downAs a new mum, I'm calling total and utter bullshit on this: New dads are almost completely useless immediately after the birth of a child. I simply could not have survived the first few weeks without my husband. He helped with preparing bottles, to warming them when breastfeeding inevitably failed, to giving me a mountain of emotional support and everything in between. The author equates his boredom after his third child to all men's experience with all children. | /r/MensRights | 06/02/14 09:00 PM |

| 0 | Denmark may soon be the first country in the world to issue a ban on non-therapeutic circumcisionNo, I don't think so. I don't think there should be any debate at all. We have in Western society a horrid double-standard. Altering a girl's genitals is illegal, yet many people are fine with doing it to boys. For all we know, FGM could be just as beneficial as MGM, but since no studies have been done on it, we don't know. So why are we OK with mutilating our boys, but doing it to girls is anathema? | /r/MensRights | 24/01/14 08:52 PM |
| 1 | Denmark may soon be the first country in the world to issue a ban on non-therapeutic circumcisionThat wasn't my point and you know it. Vaccines have a proven benefit for the child and the rest of society. Cleft palates cause all manner of issues. I had my son's tongue tie cut when he was a couple of weeks old so he would be able to speak clearly when he's older (and yes, I felt awful about it and still do to a degree). But all the marginal benefits of circumcision are achievable by other, non-destructive means.
