| 1 | Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap"I prefer the term "dumbass". It's all-inclusive. | /r/MensRights | 18/04/17 06:41 PM |
| 5 | Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap"I think that is an extreme reaction. If there are no prior issues with her job performance, then the reasonable reaction would be to counsel her on the appropriate policies and procedures. | /r/MensRights | 18/04/17 06:39 PM |
| 1 | Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap"I'm not close to the situation, so I'm sure there is a mountain of context I'm not seeing. With the information given, however, I wouldn't immediately jump to termination or suspension if there are no other problems with her as a teacher. The reasonable response would be to counsel her on the appropriate policies and procedures with regards access of material (legos in this case). | /r/MensRights | 18/04/17 06:38 PM |
| 2 | People are calling Sam's Club CEO 'racist' after she gave an interview about diversity. She doesn't like white men.I agree with you about the history of their culture and the impact that institutional inequality has had on generational wealth and social standing. Its been 50 years since the Civil Rights Act though. I understand that the effects of that era will linger, but there has to be a point where we look at these communities and say "You can only blame the past for so long." With higher education available to anyone who seeks it out, its getting more and more difficult to use poverty as an excuse to no… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/15 04:42 PM |
| 2 | People are calling Sam's Club CEO 'racist' after she gave an interview about diversity. She doesn't like white men.That is a contributing factor, sure. Another reason is their culture. They're expected to put in a shit ton of hours at work to demonstrate their loyalty to the company. Most of those hours, however, aren't spent doing much of anything. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/15 10:40 AM |
| 3 | People are calling Sam's Club CEO 'racist' after she gave an interview about diversity. She doesn't like white men.I dont think there are any inherent differences. I think the differences are in the relative cultural values between whites and blacks (at least, in the US). White families/communities tend to put a higher emphasis on family and education than black families/communities do. Edit: Down vote all you want! Search your feelings (or... you know, do a google search) and you will know it to be true. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/15 12:45 AM |

| 7 | Rape Activist Threatens to Sue Newsweek For Publishing Accused Student’s Side of the StoryEven if she did, a lawsuit probably wouldn't get very far. To be guilty of libel, the publisher must have printed known falsehoods about a person or organization. I'm sure the actual law is more nuanced than that, but that is the gist of it. If the accused tells his side of the story and Newsweek relays that side of the story as just that... his side of the story, then there are no falsehoods being presented by Newsweek. | /r/MensRights | 14/12/15 03:16 PM |

Spared of the death penalty on account of being a woman.You can't rehabilitate that. A person who will kill their own children...

You call it discrimination and you seem to mean that it should be treated as a form of illegal discrimination. I disagree with that.

Each of these studies notes a strong correlation between BMI and injuries such as sprains, strains, bone fractures, and injuries caused by falls.

It depends. If the job in question requires a lot of physical activity, then their size is a real indicator as to their abilities to safely and efficiently perform the work.

| 1 | Millions of men have 'no close friends'So? What is stopping you from inviting male friends over to your place? Hell, what is stopping you from interacting with your male friends somewhere that has women? Nothing. There is nothing stopping you. If your friendship with someone is predicated on being in a space with no women, then your friendship isn't predicated on any form of practical reality. | /r/MensRights | 17/11/15 01:29 AM |
| 0 | Millions of men have 'no close friends'Because it's simply not part of the problem. Feminism does not stop guys from being friends with one another.

| -1 | Millions of men have 'no close friends'If you're going to complain about male only spaces, then go create one. Just look at the Augusta National. It's a male only club. Why can it get away with that? Because its completely privately owned. When you own the venue for the event that you're hosting, then all the feminists in the world can protest your male only space. Is there anything legitimate that they can do about it? No. So, if you feel this is a problem, then go create that space. | /r/MensRights | 16/11/15 09:39 PM |
| 0 | Millions of men have 'no close friends'There needs to be a victim before you can "blame the victim". Telling someone to grow up, take charge of their life, and stop making excuses for themselves is not really victim blaming. Are there legitimate problems and double standards in our society? Yes. Absolutely. Is this really one of them? No. | /r/MensRights | 16/11/15 09:36 PM |

| 12 | Millions of men have 'no close friends'I agree. While I don't consider myself to have any close male friends, I know it's because I prioritize my family and my career over male friendship.

| 3 | The dating gap: why the odds are stacked against female graduates..... Yet this article and others like this do not even begin to suggest that boys NOT going to college is even a problem!It's been my experience, as an engineer, that college grad females (including female engineers) simply don't want to consider dating "underneath" them. They set standards that are very high. By the time they get out of school and into the work force, many of the men that meet those high standards are already married or have decided to remain single. | /r/MensRights | 11/11/15 08:15 PM |

We didn't become the predominant species on this planet by not being robust and adaptable. With that being said, a child (of any gender) needs role models from both genders to get a good, well-rounded picture of what is expected of you in order to be considered a good human being.

I'd like to believe that we rose to be the predominate species on this planet because of our adaptability and "robust-ness". If a small child only thrived when mother was involved, then we, as a species, would have a harder time propagating. | /r/MensRights | 09/11/15 02:22 PM |

That's how it should work. If it worked like that in practice, however, then we shouldn't be seeing the epidemic of non-reproducibility present in most of the social and natural sciences. Even the medical field is having a tough time with reproducing published results.

The weak, feminine man is not the one who builds houses, forges metal, or builds machinery. Even our "modern" society, today, is built upon the work of strong men and women. You can have all the money in the world, but if you cant build, fix, or fight your way through lifes obstacles, then you will still be at the mercy of the strong within our society.

Due to this, they were also denied the responsibilities that came along with rights and choices. So it's easy for these organizations to separate one concept from the other. In their minds, the rights (privileges) and responsibilities are two, mutually exclusive ideas. Trying to hold them responsible for their actions and behaviors is, in their minds, akin to putting them in chains and denying them their rights. | /r/MensRights | 06/08/15 08:42 PM |

| 3 | Couple conceal male child's sex for 5 years; disallows masculine clothing, allows feminine.I disagree. While there is no physical harm here, the emotional and psychological pain later on in life is probably inevitable. | /r/MensRights | 08/12/12 12:45 AM |
| 1 | Couple conceal male child's sex for 5 years; disallows masculine clothing, allows feminine.This should be some sort of abuse. When you force another human being (even a child) to hide who they are and suppress all of the instincts and motivations that come as a result of their gender (or any facet of their nature), then there is a good probability of the child turning to unhealthy ways of acting on those instincts when they finally do (AND THEY WILL) boil over. This is because the child never learned how to focus those drives and instincts in a constructive manner. I cant imagine what… | /r/MensRights | 08/12/12 12:43 AM |

| 37 | TIL I'm fucked.You sign up for the Selective Service starting at 18. Its no longer mommys responsibility to wipe your nose for you at that age. Why didnt you take care of that? There are normally provisions for late registration. You're not fucked. | /r/MensRights | 05/12/12 11:16 AM |
| 1 | I Need Feminism Because... *Irrelevant/Gender Neutral Problem*Excellent explanation. Single parents can be of both genders. My dad was a single father for much of my childhood. | /r/MensRights | 03/12/12 01:07 AM |
| 1 | I Need Feminism Because... *Irrelevant/Gender Neutral Problem*I agree with that. I think that post was more geared towards single parents who have you both provide an income and be the primary caregivers to their children. I saw how tough it was for my dad to be a single parent to 3 kids. | /r/MensRights | 02/12/12 12:59 PM |

Let the women have theirs. I find that my self confidence goes up whenever I learn how to do something new. Something that makes me just a touch more self sufficient. Growing up, I thought that learning to change a tire, change oil, use hand and power tools, drive a farm tractor, etc. was all there just to make me miserable on the evenings and weekends. When I left home for college, I frequently encountered… | /r/MensRights | 02/12/12 04:44 AM |

"Just because I like to show cleavage, it is not an invite to stare at me." Yes... yes it is. What we wear, or strategically DONT wear, is a form of expression to others. This logic is analagous to a man saying "I should be able to run around with my ass hanging out of my pants and I expect for it to not draw negative criticism!"

| 4 | "Every Day is White Male Appreciation Day"I dont think any group should have an "appreciation" period unless they've done something to deserve it. Memorial Day is a perfect example. The men and women we honor during Memorial Day have earned the right to be honored and remembered by sacrificing their life for our country. Black History Month.... black people dont "earn" being black. I do not feel they should be honored simply for the color of their skin. | /r/MensRights | 28/11/12 02:03 AM |
| 7 | "Every Day is White Male Appreciation Day"As a white male, I appreciate myself everyday. I dont require validation from other people to feel good about myself. I'm not a victim nor do I bother with people who boast the ever so prevalent victim mentality that is rampant in our society. | /r/MensRights | 28/11/12 01:53 AM |

| 1 | Thank you all.I've had it happen to me a few times. A few years back, I was at a gas station. I was walking out as this mother and her child were walking in. I opened the door and held it for them. The mother stops walking and stops her child and says something to the effect of "we are fully capable of opening our own doors! How else is she (she nods to the daughter) going to grow up to be a strong independent woman?!" I said "Okay, just trying to be nice." and walked out the door and to my truck. | /r/MensRights | 26/11/12 11:28 AM |

| 1 | Thank you all.I generally do. Its the polite thing to do. I wont go out of my way to hold a door open for another guy though. A man can open up his own door unless I just happen to be right there. I guess a woman can as well, but I was raised to treat a woman like a woman and a man like a man. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/12 05:17 PM |
| 4 | Heightism Is A Social Construct Based In Gender NormsI guess its hard for me to objectively comment on that issue/article because my father is shorter than his wife. He is also one of the strongest guys I know. He is 5'7'', about 140 lbs, a police officer, and an accomplished martial artist. His wife is also a police officer (thats how they met), but she is 6'1'' (taller than me, even!).

| 6 | Thank you all.I was raised in a similar manner as you. Ladies first, pull out the chair for them, hold doors for them, etc. What I've found is that the a good percentage of women (at least down here in south Georgia) still appreciate being treated like a lady. I wont stop doing what I'm doing simply because some women may not appreciate it. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/12 02:17 PM |

Discussion on popular misandristic culture, and how it erodes at men's self worth.I think this song sums up that sentiment perfectly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2k-gv6xNE | /r/MensRights | 25/11/12 03:45 AM |
| 5 | How do I not get screwed?Here's the thing. If you're worried about protecting yourself, then there is some underlying mistrust of your SO that you're harboring. If this is the case, then simply dont get married. For the man, especially, there is no legitimate advantage to being married... unless you want to count tax advantages. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 05:33 AM |

There arent many. There is a girl at my work, who is a gas turbine assembler (dirty and hard work, in and of itself, but not as bad as coal mining or roughnecking) who was a flight mechanic in the Army before coming to work for us.

Looks like a bevy of bigots is headed your way in the form of a male-shaming campaign called "man-up week" in a few days.I think a Charlie Sheen quote is appropriate here.

The big one is "equal pay for equal work". They are always harping on the fact that "women make $0.75 for every $1 that a man makes".

| 2 | Marriage is like a game of chance.I disagree. While it is definitely not a science, you can sometimes see subtle signs if you're observant enough. I dated this girl for about a year. I noticed from the onset that she treated waiters/waitresses/anyone who was performing a service like shit. This, in and of itself, wasnt enough for me to break up with her. It was, however, enough for me to know that this girl isnt marriage material. Sure enough, when things got the least bit rough, she walked. | /r/MensRights | 30/10/12 03:46 AM |

| 1 | Marriage is like a game of chance."depending on the woman you married." You also have to say "I do" at the alter to marry someone. This means that you have influence over who you marry. Like I said... there is an element of chance involved. Its kind of the same way that there is an element of chance when you play a game of chess with someone. | /r/MensRights | 30/10/12 02:45 AM |

No. You can influence the results by helping to set the initial conditions of the relationship and wisely assessing the budding relationship. Its unwise to set sail in a ship that hasnt yet been tested and proven to be sea-worthy.
