| 1 | "Women are the foundation of society" - More delusion from the bitter ladies at FDSI saw this documentary once about a society composed of people who were much, much more intelligent than any other creature in the universe. But the most fascinating thing about them was that they, with the help of their super-intelligence, and highly advanced telepathic system, had been able to create a world, a society, a perfect way of living - without the presence of women. A male only world. Highly recommended, must see. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/19 11:48 PM |
| 3 | A female redditor posts a fair system for parenthoodThis wouldn't work in the current system anyway. Too many people would conspire to select yes / no and covertly stay together while the mother gets government money. It would be a disaster. What the government should do in general is punish people for having children on welfare. I.e. pay for the kids until they're 18, but then force the parents to pay back every single dime for the rest of their lives. Would change things real quick. It's completely unethical that responsible people are footing … | /r/MensRights | 28/11/17 09:21 PM |

| 1 | Man who was abused as a child is having half of his compensation payout taken from him and given to his ex-wifeThis isn't correct. The toilet cleaning market sets the price for people who are in the toilet cleaning market. Most people don't want to pay for the service at all, so they're outside of the market. If you make steak for dinner a lot, should that count as a service worth the price of going to a high class restaurant every week? Most people wouldn't do that. To demonstrate further, let's start adding these things up. So you clean your own house for the price of a maid, you make your own dinner f… | /r/MensRights | 18/07/17 07:11 AM |
| 0 | (UK) Ruling "could allow thousands of widowers to access retirement savings built up by their wives". "‘In some schemes, a husband cannot inherit the wife’s pension but a wife will inherit that of her deceased husband."If you can get more out of it than you put in, it's not simply an investment.

| 1 | (UK) Ruling "could allow thousands of widowers to access retirement savings built up by their wives". "‘In some schemes, a husband cannot inherit the wife’s pension but a wife will inherit that of her deceased husband."I don't know where you're from, but what happens to your savings account if you suddenly live to 100 and run out of money? Will you end up on the street or will you get extra money? If it's the latter, you actually have an insurance product. | /r/MensRights | 14/07/17 06:19 AM |
| 2 | (UK) Ruling "could allow thousands of widowers to access retirement savings built up by their wives". "‘In some schemes, a husband cannot inherit the wife’s pension but a wife will inherit that of her deceased husband."I don't want to get into a discussion about whether pensions should be voluntary, but this I disagree with: I expect my pension to support me and my family. By the time you're using your pension, your kids are supposed to have moved out. Your pension is supposed to support you alone after you can't work. Your wife will get her own pension. If you're worried about dying before that, the relevant product is life insurance, which is entirely different. | /r/MensRights | 13/07/17 09:48 PM |
| 5 | (UK) Ruling "could allow thousands of widowers to access retirement savings built up by their wives". "‘In some schemes, a husband cannot inherit the wife’s pension but a wife will inherit that of her deceased husband."Sure, but I don't see why pensions should be transferable in the first place. Your contributions are supposed to act as an insurance policy for when you age. If you die early, that sucks, but that money will then pay for other people's policies, just like you don't get back your fire insurance payments if your never have a fire. Transferring that money to a living relative seems like a good way to overburden the system. And how is it fair that this one person is now getting payments for two peop… | /r/MensRights | 13/07/17 07:11 PM |

| 2 | "If women are silly enough to pay extra for pink razors, they deserve to be fleeced"They give a reason for that, discrimination. And that's ignoring supply and demand entirely. Even if they were exactly the same, and women decided to buy the "pink one" priced higher... that's capitalism at work. It's not anyone's fault they choose to buy the same thing but pink That was my entire point :) Their reason is obviously false due to prices actually being determined by demand, and they would need to show extraordinary proof to prove otherwise. | /r/MensRights | 05/06/17 07:57 PM |
| 10 | "If women are silly enough to pay extra for pink razors, they deserve to be fleeced"It's good to talk about what reasons there might be for the difference in prices, but I think that the burden of proof should be on the other side. If someone claims that prices are arbitrarily higher for women, they are basically saying that manufacturers are leaving money on the table by using suboptimal pricing for one of the two groups. Why would they do that? Clearly they would raise prices for men if they could do it without losing market share, and clearly they would lower prices for wome… | /r/MensRights | 05/06/17 01:57 PM |

Even usually, that would be a questionable argument, but this time it was particularly hilarious, since the discussion was about how she thought men aren't scared of anything.

I agree, but may I just say that no one should be arrested (or fired) for accidentally revealing a nude photo at work. An honest mistake should always be forgiven.

| 3 | Why do people assume men are the primary "slut shamers"?Well I'm a man, and I agree with most of what you say, but I think where we diverge is that I think there are two groups you lump into one. The first one is the people who sleep around because they're irresponsible and just generally have personalities you don't want to deal with. The second one is the people who are actually responsible and just enjoy lots of sex with reasonable precautions. Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I trust I can tell one from the other and act accordingly. | /r/MensRights | 30/09/11 11:49 AM |
| 3 | Why do people assume men are the primary "slut shamers"?Promiscuous as in likely to cheat is not the same thing as in someone who likes sex.

It's much easier for a woman to get multiple sexual partners than it is for a man, so it's probably common to feel cheated out of your "single years" if you marry a woman who's on #35 and you're on #2.

AFAIK the ACLU has defended NAMBLA's right to have an opinion, not defended what they want to do. they consider your practice of religion as part of free speech and they consider the circumcision as part of a religiou… | /r/MensRights | 22/07/11 10:00 PM |
| 5 | ACLU joins effort to quash vote on circumcision banI think the ACLU stance makes sense in the context of what the ACLU is I don't. Their stance only makes sense if you assume the baby has no rights. I find their involvement pretty damn weird. Or are they simply pointing out that the constitution doesn't protect children? | /r/MensRights | 21/07/11 10:27 AM |
| 6 | Latest lies and junk science from anti-prostitution feminazis...probably because they're not. Seriously, if you are going to define prostitution that broadly then all of us working for a living are prostitutes. One thing that I could tell throughout the article was that these are the kind of people who simply think all male sexual fulfillment is degrading to women. As if I couldn't get a lap dance and still respect the woman doing it as a human being. Obviously these people see the dancer as some kind of scum, and that offends my sense of justice. The fac… | /r/MensRights | 19/07/11 03:17 PM |
| 6 | If women have the right not to be automatically considered whores, I feel men should have the right not to be automatically considered rapists.You're obviously much more reasonable than the hysterical ones, but what many women don't seem to get is that men don't walk around in some kind of bubble of invulnerability either. However, I've been in an elevator in the wee hours of the morning, when I'm exhausted and just want to relax, with a man that I didn't know. In that situation, I smiled and made small talk, but in the deep recesses of my mind I'll admit I was slightly intimidated. Not afraid that he would attack me, but just wary of … | /r/MensRights | 07/07/11 07:58 AM |
| 2 | HypocritesFocusing on one thing doesn't mean you're ignoring the whole. If some people want to discuss specific problems, who cares? You guys did not like how the feminists were only concerned with the discrimination against their own gender. Yes, but not in the same way. It's not about what topics they want to discuss on feminist forums, it's about their being ok with discrimination that doesn't target them. I don't think most people here would support discrimination against women (our views on what disc… | /r/MensRights | 05/07/11 01:20 PM |
| 3 | Strauss-Kahn case could deter reporting of rape, feminist campaigners warnwhether or not this woman is a raging liar, it's true that many people would fear reporting if they know there's a good chance the media is going to pick through their pasts. You can worry about that, but the media can pick through the past of anyone who becomes "famous". That sucks, but personally I'm sick of how everything is framed around the feelings of rape victims. They'll just have to face the same problems everyone else is facing. Would be nice if the media wasn't so predatory, though. A… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/11 02:34 PM |
| 3 | I need some advice r/mensrights, what should I be on the lookout for in relationships with women?She should legitimately like you as you are, not as who you could be. If she tries to change you (unless you yourself have expressed a desire to change and she's trying to help), leave immediately. Likewise, you should legitimately like her just as she is right now. This is a fine line. It's not an excuse to treat the other person badly and say it's just who you are. It's also not a reason to ignore legitimate personal problems. Wouldn't you rather better yourself anyway and save the relationshi… | /r/MensRights | 03/07/11 06:28 PM |
| 3 | I need some advice r/mensrights, what should I be on the lookout for in relationships with women?If she deflects blame or tries to make you take responsibility for having been hurt rather then apologizing "Why do you always make me feel bad by starting arguments?" Been there, done that... facepalm | /r/MensRights | 03/07/11 06:24 PM |
| 3 | Woman freeze out menIt's a lot of shit to handle all at once. That had to make it harder. It doesn't even need to be super hard, though. For example, if you have a boring job for a long time, you inevitably get demotivated. Everyone would rather have an interesting job. Getting rejected isn't a disaster, but the only thing in the world that I would put up with so much crap about is getting laid, and as a woman she wouldn't have my testosterone levels backing her up ;). I would be a happier person if it were easier,… | /r/MensRights | 30/06/11 09:14 AM |
| 5 | Divorced mother thinks father doesn't deserve shared custody of newborn | Look into female sexism and entitlement | (TwoX X/post)Sure, but in most of those cases I'm sure the two women were friends or at least knew each other. | /r/MensRights | 21/06/11 10:48 PM |
| 11 | Divorced mother thinks father doesn't deserve shared custody of newborn | Look into female sexism and entitlement | (TwoX X/post)Yeah, I'm actually partially siding with the mom here. I'm not sure I think shared custody for a newborn is all that smart. I mean, it's great that the dad is going through all this effort to provide a good second home for the kid, but can't that wait for at least a couple of months? In the meantime he could be guaranteed the right to be present at the mom's house to hang out with the kid. Equality doesn't mean ignoring the physical differences. | /r/MensRights | 21/06/11 11:55 AM |
| 6 | University Women's Dept. Stirs Up Protest Against Sex Therapist Who Teaches that couples should think about the impact of sexually rejecting their partnersI think you're reading into his comment too much. He was saying that refusing sex on the wedding night is wrong, not that the man has the right to take it. It's just the kind of thing that'll lead to divorce, because one partner doesn't respect the other. And yes, if the man feels trapped, a ruined sex life might lead to cheating or prostitution instead. Those are the consequences of consistently disrespecting your partner's needs while extorting them with kids/alimony. | /r/MensRights | 01/06/11 07:53 AM |
| 3 | Author is looking for a feminist guy. Best comment is 'You should’ve knocked a punch into him right there and then!! What an IDIOT!!'.Hey, this is fun. Here are mine: "What do you think about working women?" They are no better or worse than housewives as long as both are happy with their choices. "What should a husband do if the child does you-don’t-want-to-know-what in the middle of the night and the wife is sleeping soundly?" Do you have a chip on your shoulder? The only logical choice is to clean the child. "What would you do if your lady love is feeling down?" Why does this question need to be asked?

| 2 | Is anyone actually still afraid of being labeled as "gay"?This is how I feel about it. I wouldn't want people thinking I'm gay, but that doesn't mean I have anything against homosexuals. However, if we're just talking about good natured making fun of your friends, I don't care at all. | /r/MensRights | 29/05/11 10:13 AM |
| 3 | One for the 'Feminism fights for Equality' File: Feminists campaign for more mercy to be shown female criminals.all male criminals are all perfectly sane, highly educated, incredibly violent, and don't have children... of course. I think their reasoning is even weirder than that. Lets say that, on average, this were true. Would that still justify having a blanket policy that treats women more leniently? No, of course not. It would just be an observation of the results. Individual men and women would still need to be tried completely objectively. | /r/MensRights | 29/05/11 09:56 AM |
| 1 | Police Abduct 8 Year Old Girl. Oh wait, no they don'tIANAL either, but the officer did take the kid. It's her opinion that it was kidnapping, and I don't think the law prevents her from voicing such an opinion. What I'd do is send this crazy video to the husband's lawyer. | /r/MensRights | 20/05/11 08:59 AM |
| 5 | The lie of masculinity.Women give each other the wrong kind of emotional support. This! I've seen a lot of women give each other emotional support and it always involves building up someone's self esteem at the expense of reality. They'll even treat each other like shit because they expect the group to always be supportive and understanding, because they're "friends" ... and they're right! I'm a guy and my friends will tell me exactly what they think, screw anyone's emotions. And thank god for that. When I really need… | /r/MensRights | 20/05/11 08:48 AM |
| 7 | Calls for MP Ken Clarke to resign for saying not all rape the same.The first headline I saw about the whole issue was that the guy wants to let rapists go free earlier. Why am I not surprised to hear that the original proposal wasn't limited to one type of crime. Still, I don't like the idea of encouraging guilty pleas. While it sort of makes sense, it also punishes people for claiming they're innocent. Especially when suspected rapists are guilty until proven innocent. | /r/MensRights | 18/05/11 06:16 PM |
| 0 | MR folk, question: Are there varying degrees of rape?No, it's not better, or ok. What I'm saying is that he had permission to touch her private parts. That's something you don't have with a stranger. The fact that he chose to do so in anger is equivalent to touching her face in anger, imho. Both are unacceptable, and should end the relationship. Just not "omg this guy is a rapist"-level unacceptable. Edit: although that's pretty much what I said in my previous post. Did you not read the part about slapping my face or slapping my dick? You just pic… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/11 06:56 PM |
| 2 | MR folk, question: Are there varying degrees of rape?I'm sorry, but you're coming off as really bitter. The only reason you're giving for him deserving all that punishment is that genitals were involved. The guy sounds like a total asshole, but you're acting like he decided to do it to a stranger on the street. My girlfriend has full access to my body. If she gets so mad that she betrays that trust by slapping me in the face or on the dick, it's all the same to me. The slapping would be the problem, not sexual assault. I'd leave her, not get her s… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/11 01:47 PM |
