10	Woman, 39, who glassed a male pub drinker after he wrongly guessed she was 43 during light-hearted exchange is spared jail by female judge. No and no. If there had been risk of serious injury with the choking it would have been mentioned. And you still haven't understood what you're even arguing against: that a similar story to the OP couldn't happen with the genders (plural) reversed.	/r/MensRights	22/04/24 02:01 PM
11	Woman, 39, who glassed a male pub drinker after he wrongly guessed she was 43 during light-hearted exchange is spared jail by female judge. Your priorities may differ, but I consider protecting a young child as more important than protecting a grown ass hibristophiliac. And the severity of a little bruising doesn't really compare with almost losing an eye. That's not to say he shouldn't be behind bars, all three attackers in question should.	/r/MensRights	22/04/24 01:45 PM
19	Woman, 39, who glassed a male pub drinker after he wrongly guessed she was 43 during light-hearted exchange is spared jail by female judge. Try reading the original comment you responded to again. having a young child A child that's likely either going to become a victim to or inherit the mother's low moral character and violent inclinations, possibly both. If it takes this little for her to fly off the handle, what's she going to do to a child throwing a tantrum?	/r/MensRights	22/04/24 01:34 PM
27	Woman, 39, who glassed a male pub drinker after he wrongly guessed she was 43 during light-hearted exchange is spared jail by female judge. In example 1 the female victim explicitly forgave her attacker, the other vic was male. In example 2 it was a man who was attacked. When you find a case of a man being mildly insulted by a woman, with her removing herself from the scene and him then assaulting her once she returns, leaving her with lacerations being let go, lmk.	/r/MensRights	22/04/24 01:13 PM
6	New EU Directive on Femicide has been approved: Male Victims are second class citizens in EU now I agree with the sentiment, but you're forgetting that to many of those legislators and lobbyists protecting .ale victims IS an "undesired side-effect"	/r/MensRights	08/02/24 02:55 PM

21	A pregnant Ukrainian doctor was drafted into the army, now she cries and complains, but any man should, without a doubt, go into the trench, man up and die But didn't mention carrying the child to term or raising said child. Both getting an abortion and getting a fake pregnancy test are easy compared to fighting throughout an entire war.	/r/MensRights	12/11/23 01:18 PM
19	Women’s rights barrister’s fury after legal regulator takes no action over colleagues’ foul-mouthed tweets Dr Proudman said barristers had told her she should be reprimanded by the board - something which she finds “threatening” and makes her feel like her “workspace has become quite dangerous to be in”. In response to which she reported all of them to the board and is upset they didn't all get outright disbarred. What a clown.	/r/MensRights	03/11/23 11:40 AM

7	Unpopular opinion: Focusing on the dating scene is harming men's rights movement Amazing how you manage to be annoyed by posts about dating but at the same time you don't seem to ever even glanced at one. And you're also trying to portray a larger trend as the actions of a single individual, utterly divorced from larger society. But to humour you and answer your question which misrepresents the entire issue: Same as with any other person, male or female, me dating my dream woman after she fell in love with me for no discernable reason, despite her being way out of my league …	/r/MensRights	15/09/23 12:27 PM
7	Unpopular opinion: Focusing on the dating scene is harming men's rights movement It should be nothing less than obvious from the context, but I'm referencing intersexual inequality, not intrasexual.	/r/MensRights	15/09/23 12:04 PM
8	Unpopular opinion: Focusing on the dating scene is harming men's rights movement You're making me repeat myself. Any change in anti-male laws, which are in some way related to sex meaning, MGM, rape, sexual harassment, divorce, child support and probably some I'm forgetting now will be utterly impossible without some semblance of equality within the dating scene. And the fact that the dating scene has shifted means that yes, it is indeed influenced by the larger culture around it just in case you want to pull some biological essentialism argument next. Let me try to put it a…	/r/MensRights	15/09/23 11:43 AM
8	Unpopular opinion: Focusing on the dating scene is harming men's rights movement Gee, who would dare to think that sexual relationships could have something to do with the relationship between the sexes. Quips aside, unequal laws don't just materialize out of nowhere, they stem from cultural views. This shouldn't need explaining but this goes double for legislature in a democratic system. But the very notion of changing culture is apparently heretical in your eyes. Ironically enough you mention unequal rape laws, well they're a DIRECT consequence of inequality in the sexual …	/r/MensRights	15/09/23 11:18 AM

7	“Men have a high probability of outliving women” -BMJ These findings go some way towards debunking the narrative that "Women just live longer." Instead they suggest what many here probably already suspect: that people with easier lives live longer and women live easier lives than men.	/r/MensRights	07/08/23 12:34 PM
1	The Problem With Women Empowerment in the Media https://archive.ph/VTKOX Archived Link I spent way too long sifting through this piece of verbal diarrhea, trying to find anything resembling a coherent argument and mostly finding delusion stacked on top of impossible-to-meet demands. But before that, here's an unintentional nugget from early on: women are people. They are complex beings like everybody else Who's "everybody else" in this sentence?

13	Shame on you fathers Oh I'm very much in favour of spreading awareness around breast cancer. You could even say I'm actively supporting them by suggesting they should advocate for mandatory paternity tests. More than you're doing, certainly.	/r/MensRights	09/05/23 09:30 AM
16	Shame on you fathers To be fair, the organization indeed doesn't explicitly describe itself as feminist, but a Women's Health Org. If you want to describe that group as fully distinct and separate from feminism,possibly even opposed to feminism, I won't stop you. In fact I'd invite you to take that opinion and proudly present it in feminist forums, see how they react.	/r/MensRights	09/05/23 09:24 AM

1	Something positive. I know we shouldn’t rely on external validation for our self worth, but it’s nice to be told that people with bigger bodies are wanted. Video shows a bigger gentleman showing workout progress. Male body positive influencers are so valuable. As I touched on before, assuming fat men to be unattractive (to women) MAY (extra emphasis on the may as I am in fact not a mind reader) be a flawed assumption on our part. This ofc also extends to the self image of these overweight guys. Again, as icecorrect mentioned, overweight guys are, or are perceived as stronger and women tend to look for perceived strength in a partner. Though I guess women being more vocal about that could be considered a win for men and I didn't come here to spread neg…	/r/MensRights	05/05/23 12:56 PM
2	Something positive. I know we shouldn’t rely on external validation for our self worth, but it’s nice to be told that people with bigger bodies are wanted. Video shows a bigger gentleman showing workout progress. Male body positive influencers are so valuable. The idea that larger men are generally attractive to women and that this includes fat men. Icecorrect also made a comment to that effect, but dressed it up in prettier words and justifications. To elaborate, I don't see this as a huge win, because if there is merit to that hypothesis, this would just be an example of women gushing over a conventionally attractive man. I would find people praising a short and/or skinny man or the like more encouraging. Granted, I may just be too pessimistic... Al…	/r/MensRights	05/05/23 12:27 PM

11	Happy International Women's Day Yeah, your post certainly puts mine to shame, but recognizing the inequality and hypocrisy seems like an important first step. So I went with the more basic option of pointing it out.	/r/MensRights	08/03/23 02:11 PM
18	Feminists often deny that boys or men could be forced by women into sex, citing the feminist myth of "a man can't be forced to have an erection". Enclosed is a link to a detailed clinical paper on involuntary arousal under coercion in both sexes, that you could paste to feminists who protect rapists Really the threshold in this analogy should be even lower: "if she was only slightly wet, she wanted it"	/r/MensRights	25/02/23 07:25 PM

The scales are woefully unbalanced, if they weren't this would be a different conversation. leading/guiding his coworkers to success in a positive way What you're describing so quickly and vaguely means ACTUALLY putting in the effort, ACTUALLY having a position of power, ACTUALLY knowing the strengths and weaknesses of everyone involved and ACTUALLY knowing the best way to leverage them. Which a) Women are just as capable of if they have the requir…	/r/MensRights	24/02/23 03:42 PM
12	Women need to be called out on their hypocritical use of sexuality in the workplace My point being that only a small percentage of men can pull it off and not for lack of effort. Meanwhile female beauty standards are low enough for the vast majority of healthy young and youngish women to benefit from there sexuality. A small, scrawny man throwing a squeaky temper tantrum isn't perceived as any better tha "bitchy" women, probably worse in today's climate. So he's not able to use "masculine aggression" or whatever for his benefit.	/r/MensRights	24/02/23 03:26 PM

We can actually simulate this by taking a scrawny guy and putting him in an elevator with 3 muscular men that all wear "Proud to be gay" signs.

3	What do you think, is any current western Feminist core claim factual and balanced? Or is everything they insist to be important and true corrupted by things like ideology or hatred? Womens' and mens' rights are indeed compatible. You'll be hard pressed to find an MRA who argues for restricting womens' rights, but you'll find plenty of feminists who want to restrict the rights of men and their supposedly moderate fellows will rarely if ever call them out. And the feminist movement is fully capable of calling out what they dislike, as you can see with their treatment of TE(R)Fs.	/r/MensRights	23/09/21 04:43 PM

My old biology teacher gleefully told the class that the y-chromosome is a crippled x-chromosome. Feminists also don't want women crawling in the muddy trenches, or in nameless mass graves, they want them in cushy officer positions far from any danger. I don't think viagra and birth control make for an adequate comparison, but if you insist, it's an example of womens' safety taking priority. Same with drug testing.

5	What do you think, is any current western Feminist core claim factual and balanced? Or is everything they insist to be important and true corrupted by things like ideology or hatred? If you're talking about hypertraditionalist societies, yes men typically enjoy more freedom and women more safety in those. But looking at the western world, women are just as protected while enjoying the same or more freedoms than men.	/r/MensRights	23/09/21 03:43 PM
5	What do you think, is any current western Feminist core claim factual and balanced? Or is everything they insist to be important and true corrupted by things like ideology or hatred? Prioritizing womens' well being over mens', tolerating abuse against men while harshly punishing abuse against women. Things like that. The actions of feminist lawmakers, scholars and activists matter more than your personal sensibilities. The Duluth model actively harms male victims of abuse, as it is designed to do. It's not "Nothing"	/r/MensRights	23/09/21 03:30 PM
5	What do you think, is any current western Feminist core claim factual and balanced? Or is everything they insist to be important and true corrupted by things like ideology or hatred? The fact that society is gynocentric despite men being in positions of power is merely a result of the gynocentrism of both genders, aka women and men both have a bias in favor of women. Blindly putting more women in positions of power without widely acknowledging and condemning this bias will only exacerbate these issues. Most people, including most feminists view patriarchy as a system which unilaterally advantages men over women and those that are aware of the definition you use typically swi…	/r/MensRights	23/09/21 02:32 PM

Even if we were to assume that men almost exclusively engage in physical violence and women in psychological violence, that doesn't change how victims are treated based on gender. A male victim of physical violence is business as usual, a female victim of physical violence is a horrible tragedy. A male victim of psychological violence is the object of mockery, a female victim is, giving you the maximum benefit of the doubt, business as usual again.

6	Why does it seem that men hate women? Believing someone to be incapable, but affording them all the care you can isn't hate. Think of overprotective parents, their behaviour may very well be damaging to their child, but they don't do it out of hate and a desire to inflict suffering.	/r/MensRights	31/07/21 11:00 AM
6	Why does it seem that men hate women? You'll notice that putting these restrictions on women often comes with a very similar assertion that they are simply incapable of doing these things. How do you maximize the protection a group of people receives? You make the rest believe that the group is worthy of protection as well as incapable if protecting themselves. The notion of giving children a baseline education and having them then choose their own path is a relatively recent development, throughout much of history children were usu…	/r/MensRights	31/07/21 10:42 AM
9	Why does it seem that men hate women? Almost all of these things apply to children as well. So does humanity hate children? Or does humanity value the well-being of children, occasionally to the point of restricting their freedoms?	/r/MensRights	31/07/21 10:30 AM
12	Women’s rights and men’s rights are not fundamentally opposed Feminism isn't some invisible boogeyman, it's a clear and present ideology and movement. It's like calling any given religion invisible and irrelevant in a nominally secular nation. The individual politicians should obviously be voted out of office as well, but there's feminist organizations collecting money to bankroll these politicians, paying for ads on billboards and TV, helping these people get elected.	/r/MensRights	08/07/21 01:02 PM
10	Women’s rights and men’s rights are not fundamentally opposed Many politicians are either fully feminist or adhere to key feminist ideas. So in order for society to hold these politicians accountable, feminism needs to be discredited. In your version of events, in which feminism is still regarded as the essence of everything good, the lone champion of equality and fairness, people will confront a politician, pointing out what policies they dislike and the politician will shrug, say "Hey, I'm just doing what the feminists told me" and the critics will have …	/r/MensRights	08/07/21 12:31 PM

21	Women’s rights and men’s rights are not fundamentally opposed Firstly, feminism doesn't have a monopoly on women's rights and thus using the two terms interchangeably is either misguided or disingenuous. Secondly, the fact that you seem to put the responsibility to unite both women's and men's rights on the rather small and niche men's rights movement, rather than on women's rights movements and feminism, which command billions of dollars to me speaks volumes on your intentions. Thirdly, a good chunk of the inequalities faced by men today are created speci…	/r/MensRights	08/07/21 08:21 AM
11	[STUDY] Women are more likely than men to call promiscuity a dealbreaker. If you're promiscuous, women are more likely than men to reject you for it. Men don't value low body counts. Seems to me like men are just more willing to engage in a relationship at all, the curves look almost similar. If your hypothesis was correct, the female graph would have to eclipse the male one for the lower body counts.	/r/MensRights	14/06/21 06:21 AM
2	Masculinity as mate-value. What do you think? I disagree. It's judging a man purely by how women subjectively value him, irrespective of his actual value or the quality of his character. And feminists LOVE to use this exact kind of insults against men, so I doubt they call it toxic masculinity consistently.	/r/MensRights	23/04/21 09:52 AM
