12	My school just cut two mens sports programs for a female tennis team. That's nothing new. The New York Times has even written about it. If you want a brief overview of Title IX application, I found this excerpt. It seems to be pretty good. I remember reading, in a book by John Stossel, that Brown University once cut four teams - two mens teams and two womens teams - for budget reasons. (That excerpt has a general overview of the case, but it doesn't mention the following. I don't have the book in front of me, so from here on out I'm going by memory.) Predictably t…	/r/MensRights	20/11/12 10:43 AM
16	Community is outraged and wants a man prosecuted because he did not risk his life to help a mother The woman's story makes no sense. First, she says that she held onto the tree for hours - while still also managing to hold onto two children? I suppose the generous explanation is that her sense of time was skewed and it only felt like hours. Second, she says that she went to the door to ask for help. But the door is all the way around the front of the house; if the hurricane was still in full force, how did she manage to get up there (again, while holding two children). Because the only other …	/r/MensRights	12/11/12 10:39 AM
15	Victimization has driven me away from mostly female subreddits... I find it odd that feminism spends so much time telling women that they are strong, capable, etc., and then turns around and tells them that they are a "victim" when any personal interaction turns negative. Unpleasant sexual experience? Rape, because you wouldn't have had sex with him unless he forced you or tricked you, or intimidated you so that you couldn't back out. Date some guy who's kind of an asshole? Domestic violence, he's an abuser, etc. A man was promoted at work instead of you? Sexi…	/r/MensRights	04/11/12 08:40 AM
0	A woman who is good-looking, fit, and can cook and keep house is to a feminist like a cross to a vampire. A few months ago pinterest was like 80%+ female users [most of 2x was bitching because reddit was 75%+ male users.] Welcome to feminism, where "equality" is achieved when women make up a 60% majority.	/r/MensRights	04/11/12 08:15 AM
2	Male sexual liberation. I held my tongue. Not sure if double entendre, or I just have a dirty mind.	/r/MensRights	30/10/12 04:12 AM
41	A real feminist at work!!!! I am shouting at him that it is not a question of blame, that the mistake was understandable, but that the way K was treated was completely unacceptable that it reflected both racism and sexism. What a load of bullshit. This woman has clearly never worked in the service industry and had to deal with angry people who make every issue, every unintended slight, into a huge production of victimization. This isn't a case of "oppression." This is a situation where tired and harried service personnel -…	/r/MensRights	27/10/12 10:29 PM
51	Mindblown If you feel like being nauseous, go and read the comments on last week's and this week's Savage Love (a sex/relationship advice column). There's a huge abortion discussion in the comments. 99% of the posters take the feminist position that the choice is entirely the woman's. There are tons of comments like "the woman decides and the man lives with it," "[t]he point of ejaculation IS WHEN MEN MAKE THEIR CHOICE," and the one you point out, that if men don't want a child then they simply shouldn't …	/r/MensRights	22/10/12 06:05 AM
4	Feminist Here with some questions. Not looking to start a fight, but I just want to learn/understand. Long post sorry. What are the specific laws set in place by Feminism that restrict male rights (only really heard of the ones that GIVE women rights, such as right to own land, to vote, etc not the ones that take away from men)? Little late to the party, but here's one of my issues - Men having no input in the abortion discussion. Let me be clear, I believe that women get the ultimate decision; they are the ones who have to deal with pregnancy and birth. But if the woman decides to keep the child, the man is now…	/r/MensRights	21/10/12 03:13 AM
13	Feminist here with an honest question--before you bite, hear me out... When feminists stop ... stop complaining about stupid bullshit.... If you haven't read the link, you should. This is exactly why I don't trust modern feminism: it's become too much of an industry onto itself. There are too many "professional" feminists - women's studies professors, NOW, etc. - who have built their careers on the premise of women being disadvantaged. They have every incentive to keep that theory moving forward, even in the face of contrary evidence. If tomorrow the world suddenly…	/r/MensRights	10/10/12 09:52 PM
2	European Court of Justice makes car insurance premiums equal - Time to pay up, ladies My favorite quote from the comments - This is not fair! Insurance premiums in all industries are prices on odds and statistics, and statistically men have more crashes and accidents than women, as well as more license points. - SparklingStarfish, London, 9/10/2012 8:09 But in any other context... Women statistically use more medical services, and use more expensive medical services. They should pay more for health insurance. Gasp! Patriarchy! My sex is not a pre-existing condition!! I demand equ…	/r/MensRights	10/10/12 07:06 AM
10	The Myth of Male Decline - NYTimes.com (Comments need a trigger warning) I feel dumber for having read the comments. Most of those people are utterly clueless. Here's a prime example: Right on, sista! While working for a top management consulting firm, I learned that my direct report who had an MBA was making $40K more than me and he was basically being trained by me. My master's degree was seen as less worthy than an MBA. I guess this keen businesswoman has forgotten that "MBA" is short for "Master of Business Administration," which Wikipedia defines as "a master's …	/r/MensRights	30/09/12 09:47 PM
51	Girlfriend hounding me on "male privilege". Does this really hold any water? A man, for example, who gets a job isn’t going to ... be shrugged off as a “quota hire”. Scumbag feminism: demands quotas and preferential hiring, gets mad when other employees are suspicious of (potentially) unqualified new hires.	/r/MensRights	28/08/12 02:14 AM
