0	Why don’t we work together? Sorry to hear that. I think this is a burden on both communities. We feel fighting for the opposite sex will make our own problems not be addressed. It something that needs to be worked on on both groups	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 07:22 PM
-1	Why don’t we work together? Men’s cancer research is funded less because usually the victims of prostate cancer are usually older and prostate cancer is not as lethal. However breast cancer affects little kids and is more lethal, so it garners more sympathy. This also relates to my point how men receive less empathy that’s why they get less funding. My mom is a cancer researcher so she let me work in her lab and I did a project on how a compound called bergamottin reduces androgen receptor activation and reduces prostate c…	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 07:20 PM
-2	Why don’t we work together? I think you’ve been caught up with the wrong feminists. Toxic masculinity in itself has been a huge discussion for feminists. The name might seem as if it’s an attack in men, but it really it is basically the points I described above. Just as there are extreme feminists, there are extreme men’s rights activists who also are mostly reactionary to feminism and hate on it. So obviously many feminists won’t be too keen on this group because of those loud members. But in realty moderate feminists do …	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 06:28 PM
0	Why don’t we work together? I am very much a science person lol I’m going to MIT to study computer science too and I’ve participated in prostate cancer research. I admit the social ideas of masculinity and femininity are derived from biology, but they insinuate and encourage non biological truths. Like sure men are usually stronger and kinda more violent because of testosterone , but does that mean men can’t be vulnerable, or non-violent, or caring? Of course not. And yea sure women have a natural instinct to nurture becau…	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 06:22 PM
-5	Why don’t we work together? I can see that, but tbh I guess I’ve only ever seen those feminists on the internet. I live in a Super liberal area, and have never once encountered one of those in real life. I think the same could be said for this Reddit community too. Some loud MRA are really just here as a reaction against feminism and just bash and hate on women. But that doesn’t mean all of them do. It goes for both sides but I think we should try our best not to hate each other. Like maybe if you made a post like this in …	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 06:16 PM
-6	Why don’t we work together? It’s not about telling men to not work hard. It’s about how women who are just or even more qualified are not allowed to climb up the social ladder. There are many studies on disparities in high paying fields of men and women, and it’s just the truth that if you have the same exact resume but a women’s name you are viewed as less than.	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 06:09 PM
-2	Why don’t we work together? Black color is literally melanin it’s biology. So saying it’s toxic is racist. Masculinity and femininity are social constructs. They are not biological truths that are inherent to men and women. By saying masculinity is toxic, I’m not saying men are toxic, I’m saying that our idea of what it means to be a man excludes femininity and therefore is toxic. Masculinity also encompasses multiple ideas. So I can agree with some facets of it and criticize others. courage, independence and strength are …	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 06:06 PM
-1	Why don’t we work together? It’s just been observed to me that when men express emotion or express feminine characteristics they are bashed and put down and viewed as less than a man by society. It’s not that men CANT be feminine, but that how we raise men , our ideas of what masculinity is, and viewing femininity as less than, all prevent that. It’s much more than wearing pink or makeup, usually if you do those things you’re viewed as gay which also has negative connotations. Also I’m not saying women are weak, I’m saying…	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 05:50 PM
0	Why don’t we work together? At the end of the day there’s no way to really prove who’s right and wrong. I’ve noticed this pattern across the internet too, not just my close friends. The point is that society viewing femininity as less than is the real cause of these issues- no matter who’s the perpetrator, be it men or hyper feminists. When most feminists talk about “toxic masculinity” they aren’t saying all masculinity is toxic, but that for men it almost requires u to only be one thing and reject femininity, which create…	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 05:34 PM
-1	Why don’t we work together? I kindly disagree. From the men I’ve talked to, a lot of times it’s their own male friends that they have trouble talking about their real life issues. They have admitted to me that they usually discuss more serious topics with female friends. And it has been growing trend among women to not go for the “macho” hyper masculine type of man. You’ll see many memes nowadays that say if a man can cry comfortably women will fall in love with them. Although, I think rejection of femininity is a problem …	/r/MensRights	14/06/20 05:26 PM
