His mom made herself sound like an idiot for saying that. Oh yea, being a secretary (a severely underpaid job set aside for women in the business world), and professors (the people that teach our generations), is all "stupid shit."

It's great that your mom has never felt these pressures, but it's also making her points very one dimensional and short sighted. She's also over generalizing Femism (as in simplifying it to Radical Feminism) without taking into consideration all the other work that is done "in the real world" -- abortion/health care reform, planned parenthood, rape victims/slut shaming, etc...and i'm not even going to get started on this whole professors "not being in the real world" bull crap...I'm sorry, but t…

Realize that now. The full thread was blocked from me viewing on my work computer, so I just assumed that r/mensrights wasn't exaggerating anything. Clearly I was wrong though; the thread of this title is misleading.

you used the example of a father spending cash in a wastefull way as a justification, i personally find both abhorrent and yes even if she spent 500 or 1000 on her kid she doesnt qualify for a refund through CHILD support payments I guess we won't see eye to this than. I didn't agree with the way that this woman was (fantasizing) about spending the money (if you read the thread closer, she hasn't actually bought any shoes (yet))...My bad for not realizing that r/mensrights is promoting something…

Who says that this child is suffering? I never went there. And I didn't disagree with you, either. It's child support, yes, but the person paying it isn't allowed to dicate what a single mother actually spends it on (which is what the real problem is here...not shoes). If the mother is the kids sole provider, she could argue that over the past year she spent $500 in clothes and food for the kid, so she was treating herself instead. Is that still fucked up? Yeah, shes obviously an idiot. Will 4ch…

Yep, a savings account is allowed, but not mandatory. Anything that can directly or indirectly benefit the child is what the money is supposed to be used for...this mother is obviously a dumbass though for buying something so outlandish. Maybe she will be forced to have her checks audited now or something. Sorry for your loss.

Yes and I don't disagree with you that it's for the childs well being. I'm not trying to justify but rather explain that it's not literally stealing because the checks are not technically the childs. Checks like this are made out to the parent and meant to be spent as they see fit. What she did is obviously a rediculous way to spend money, but again it's technically not stealing. If anything, she will probably just say that she got a big tax return (as it is that time of the year), so she just h…

The money being "the childs" is debateable. It is up to the parent to spend that type of money as they see fit. I was raised by a single father until I was 8 years old (due to him being widowed), and he got a good sum of government money every month (even though he already had a pretty good job to pay all our bills (widows comp is different than welfare))...technically, yes, it was supposed to be spent on my brother and I every month (and I know that a lot of it was, of course), but I also know …

Yes, obviously it's wrong. But it just gets annoying sometimes how much r/mensrighits takes individual, extreme cases of women behaving badly and then it gets the top votes. It also invites wonderful comments that I see like "what a stupid cunt whore....what a bitch", etc, etc. I would much rather see articles about what can be done to reform the overall system itself. This is exatly why people get the impression that those in r/mensrights are bitter and angry at women in general.

The number of men raped in prison is similar, not greater. But then you have to add in all the men who don't report being raped to the police or on criminal surveys. I think you are understanding the statistics of the original thread wrong. The comparison is BS. Those numbers ARE the estimated total number of male rapes in prisons (they are tallying in the 'unreported' figure too)..and people are trying to compare it ONLY to the reported number of rapes for women. You have to consider the women …

I'm pretty sure everyone realized that this original thread was a bunch of BS. Not that prison rape isn't an important issue, but these statistics are only taking into consideration "violent rape" and is excluding date rape/rape through drugging/etc (which is the most common way that females are raped). Also, if you look at it carefully, this is tallying the estimated TOTAL number of rapes of men in prison compared to the reported number of rapes of women. Unreported rapes for women make the fig…

I merely quoted the facts about who got saved on the Titanic. yes, but you did this to try and prove a point that this happened because women had 'more rights' than men, and it's just not valid. As I said, it's a poor example because women's rights does not have to do with the way that society would assimulate individuals during a crisis back then. Women could be "seen" as delicate and having the more important role of motherhood (while men were viewed as "strong" and able to withstand such hars…

Well if you are only concerned about the choice why did men not get a choice? Because they weren't banned from working & going to school. As I said before, the feminist movement benefitted the working class (including men) because there were two incomes for a household now instead of one. Men could make the choice to not work, if they wanted. There was (and still is) nothing to legally hold them back. With the exception of many new mothers, most people (men and women) WANT their own careers and …

You're trying to make being saved sound bad. How? I'm saying that's WHY this happend on the titanic.

Using your logic the anti-choice crowd can say abortion oppresses women too. ...they do. You pull that stunt all the time because at the lower levels of society women were better off than men were, not worse. Being a housewife was a pretty decent job, and being a maid to a rich woman beat the shit out of coal miner for example. Says who? Did you know what life was like for individuals? It's irrelevant what life was like for a housewife or coalminer or a maid or a rich person - it's not a contest…

No, my point is that the titanic illustration is irrelevant. Women have, historically, been viewed as fragile, less strong, and delicate creatures (i.e why they wanted women to be saved first on the titanic). This has nothing to do with all of the important political and economic reasons that I listed as to why first wave feminism evolved.

many women actively campaigned against the vote for women. Just because some women played into the oppression themselves, doesn't mean that it still wasn't oppression. I think you are the one with a warped view of history. There was a woman called Queen Victoria for example who was pretty highly paid. Once again, you are trying to compare an extreme situation (like "queen victoria") to how women were treated overall. Nice try. Of course women could enter contracts and own property. Yes, of cours…

You're seriously trying to compare the titanic to how women were treated overall? The feminist movement did not come about because women were trying to be "better than men" -- it came about because women WERE very much treated as second class citizens. First wave feminism dealt with women trying to gain the most basic equal rights in terms of marriage, divorce, parenting, voting, property rights, sexual, reproductive rights; political, economical, and job wages. Women have come a long way since …

Ever think that feminists would be more inclusive if Mens rights was more inclusive as well (or at the very least didn't refer to feminists as 'men-hating nazi bitch's' -- yes, I was called that here for expressing valid, unoffensive points). It goes both ways, you know; It's a bit hypocritical to be upset at a movement for not being 100% inclusive when you are doing the exact same thing (and in many ways it's a lot worse on your end). No offense. As a Feminist, I support Mens Rights. But the fa…

There really wasn't any reason to take offense so quick, I wasn't 100% agreeing with everything they or the article said, but I still remained neutral and on their side (which is the most ironic part).

Voluntary adult circumcision is ok. It's the adult person's body he can do whatever he wants with it. Yeah i don't disagree with you there. Non-medical cosmetic procedures, while I think can be silly, are still a persons choice and almost always out of pocket money (not covered by health insurance). I wouldn't say that it's only America though that has accepted removal of the foreskin as a sometimes "necessary medical procedure" upon birth?

misunderstanding. in which case, yes, male circumscion should be treated similar to a consensual cosmetic procedure like labiaplasty. Will this ever happen? Who knows, it's hard to change peoples cultural ideals. It's shitty how accepted it is, I have a lot of jewish friends who say that it's so ingrained in their culture, people don't even think twice about having the procedure done at birth.

If you are looking at it in terms of worldwide practice, overall, it is done in unsafe/unsanitary conditions which statistically results in a higher mortality rate (about 20 babies per 1,000).

Way to twist it and assume that I'm a "femnazi"...? Now restrict that to only Western countries. FGM is very rare and illegal. MGM is legal and acceptable by society, so MGM has to be worse. Nope, what you are stating is precicely what makes MGM not worse, overall. It's legal and therefore practiced under safe/sterile conditions. Male circumscion, although practiced worldwide, has an extremely low mortality and short/long term complication rate -- this is because it's always been leagal and prac…

Umm no, I mean that If someone finds the procedure beneficial to themsevles, then they can go to a doctors office and have it safely done. I've known a few grown men who were uncircumsized and made that choice for themselves. Babies can't consent which I think is the biggest problem of male infant circumscision.

Overall, FGM is statisticlly proven to be worse in terms of cultural and medical practice (long and short term effects of the surgery have very high mortality rates). In example about 20 babies per 1,000 and 10-25% of women end up dead as a result of FGM. 90% of women in E. Africa have the type III procedure done, which is the partial or full removal of all the sex organs (the most brutal/inhumane type of FGM).

CVTHIZZKID is right. I mean, even if women are given more media coverage (and there's nothing wrong with reporting on the violent rapes there), the focus shouldn't be on who gets more media coverage, but moreso on the fact that life for everyone just sucks, and nobody is ever given enough of a voice. Yes, perhaps rape victims are given more coverage, but it's still not enough to bring justice to the terrible situations they face, or enough to bring attention to the support that rape victims ther…

I'd consider a man lying about a vasectomy or condom to be a rapist. If a woman does likewise about her birth control then she's a rapist, too. For condoms there's also the matter of disease, but mostly birth control rape is about consent to parenthood. While this is certainly fucked up and wrong for anyone to do, it's still not rape. I know from experience, it was scary to have to be tested for STDs and pregnancy when I thought that the man I was with had a condom on (we were in the dark and he…

Well now your argument is different. There's nothing wrong with being careful, I agree with you. There is something wrong with being labeled a 'moron' or 'careless' if you are raped, though. Also, trying to compare being a safe pedestrian is a lot different than the act of rape. One is an accident and the other one is a violent crime.

So I guess women are the morons when they get raped? Shame on them for leaving their home to go out and drink with the men? If people didn't run on the side of the road, then there wouldn't be the problem of padestrians getting killed. And if women just disappeared from participating in social activities, then the problem of rape wouldn't happen. Great logic.

You're view doesn't make sense though because nowhere in this thread are women being treated with sympathy. Actually, it's the exact opposite - people are indeed trying to blame the occurance of rape because WOMEN DRINK TOO MUCH. If you knew anything about rape culture and victim blaming, you would know that the OP's overall stance is STILL very much victim blaming, and it's not okay.

You're comparing locking car doors/robbery to someone being raped. The problem with victim blaming is that it tries to control womens behavior, down to what they consume. Yes, rapes can happen at a frat party or when someones drunk - but why should a woman not be allowed to drink (a very common activity among young adults) just because there are frat boys out there who don't know right from wrong?

There is a line between victim blaming and giving safe advice. Should people that have a higher chance of being the victims of sexual assault or violence in an area be given tips on how to stay safe? Absolutely. I'm sure this has saved many people from becoming victims of a crime.

It does suck to be a person in any of these countries, but what's so flawed about the idea that "women have equal rights everywhere in the world extreme gender oppression doesn't exist" is that this statement is not true.

There are hateful women with superiority issues who claim to be feminists, but actually aren't. This is the same for the mens rights movement, yes? It should be about gender equality and inclusive of women in their movement; yet, there are complete biggots here who claim to be MRAs, but actually aren't. They really just hate women. Really, I can pull the same exact card except from the femin…

Mmmmmm nope, it's not. Still no relevance as to why this article is a mens issue that deserves bashing of feminist literature. Shall I pull up similar articles where the gender is reversed, and then bash the mens movement? Would that be fair?

Feminists want a more moderated MRM but they also want all men dead LOL WHATTT. Seriously, LOL @ this entire comment. WTF. Really, just keep digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole. Once again, THIS is why women and men want a more moderated version of r/mensrights.

This. She does not owe you anything (including sex). Sometimes it's just nice when a man (or woman) does something thoughtful for their significant other just for the hell of it. I went through something similar a while ago where I was "not in the mood" to have sex with my SO. NOT because I was cheating or not sexually attracted anymore, but just because I was going through some personal family issues and work related stress. For myself, being stressed out is a huge turn off and makes me not wan…

how does this call for bashing of feminist literature? I could also pull up an article of a man that beat his wife to death, shot his two children (killing them) and then took his own life. Relevance to gender rights? I think they are all just crazy motherfuckers regardless of gender.

That's not true at all, or rather, that is an extremist and overgeneralized view. Real feminists do believe that the mens liberation movement needs to be included in order for gender equality to truly exist. MOST women are not separatists (the same way that I would hope most MRAs aren't separatists, either?). Also, these "radicalfem" movements really don't hold any significant political or social weight, especially today...perhaps in a classroom at a university, or some type of small grassroots …

"and be able to get a guilty verdict without any corroborating evidence to her testimony." Youre making it sound like that's something which happens often? Most rape cases aren't taken as far as a trial, and if they are they are usually thrown out. A recent high profile case in NYC where I live let two cops off of their rape charges because there was "lack of evidence" -- even though there was an audio recording of them admitting to it and a video showing them coming and going out of her apartme…

All ideologies have radicals, including MRAs. These sub-groups do not hold true to what the larger idea of feminism is, nor do any of these ideas hold any type of political or social weight, especially today (basically the tea party holds more tangible power than they do). Also, just because someone has an 'extremist' belief, doesn't mean that they are terrorists; but rather their beliefs could go against the mainstream; they are/were minorities. Their biggest gripes is that they didn't/don't wa…

Citing a few biased articles and blogs isn't going to change the true definition of a movement that has existed for over 100 years...While I hate citing wikipedia, I think that this is pretty accurate regarding what true feminism is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism#Men_and_masculinity Feminism is mainly focused on women's issues, but because feminism seeks gender equality, some feminists argue that men's liberation is a necessary part of feminism, and that men are also harmed by sexism and…

I've actually had my work featured on the covers of grassroots/up and coming magazines, and have sold anywhere from $500-1000 in comissions at art shows...and have done volunteer/activism work in the U.S and India (mostly working with women in shelters) before I was 20. I'm not really sure what a family guy quote has to do with anything though? My point was that I'm just really not sure why, if you guys actually really, really want birth control, to counter act it by implying things like 'well w…

oh yes, because this is just happening left and right.... so because of a few instances where the legal system failed a guy, all of us are actually 'femnazis' who just hate boys and want to have complete superiority over the world.

thinking about it more (considering I didn't really know what LPS was before), men should certainly be able to do this, regardless of their reasons for not wanting to take part in the childs life. I was more responding to the quote "well men don't have the option to abort like women" -- so my argument was more about the physcial aspect of bringing a child into the world; that it is ultimitatley the womans decision because she's the one pregnant, and no one has the right to interfear with that.

err wtf are you talking about? When I read the article this morning, that comment (the 1 in 40,000) statistic WAS posted by someone who claimed to be from the false rape society. Perhaps they edited it or deleted the content, so we are thinking of two different things? I never said that everyone (or even many) who associate with the false rape society are trying to whip up false information. My point though is that it's a common mindset in many areas, for whatever reason, that the 1/5 or 1/10 st…

From what I understand this is the voluntary surrender of parental rights and denial of paternity. How would this relate to abortion, though? Is it suggesting that a man could surrender all paternal rights before the child is born, if he knows that he does not want it? If so, I think that is a good legal solution.

Yes, and if you scroll through the comments in this article, someone who says they are from the false rape society decided to pull a stastic out of their ass that "actually, only 1 in every 40,000 women are raped" ...I understand where mens rights issues regarding custody and false rape accusations stem from, and it's important to be educated on those important matters... but when I see a "statistic" like that, from someone who is claiming to represent a supposed website of the mens rights movem…

OKAY then don't support male birth control. Geeze, I dont know any woman that wouldn't be thrilled to have male birth control come on the market. Why does this have to be turned around to deamonize women, too? You want birth control? Great, rally together and fight for it non-stop (that's how women in the 70's got it). But you wanna bring in some topic of how women are going to be evil and use it to put men in jail? Then just don't get it, and don't fight for it; because it's really not fair to …

Are we really going to get into this? Men can't get pregnant, women can. What is the solution here, that a man has the right to force an abortion upon a girl if he wants one and she doesn't? Until men can get pregnant, I really don't see how this is something that will be entierly equal. Yes, this is a subject that can't be completely equal, not because one gender is more special than the other, but just simply because of biology.

Entire articles should be read before jumping to conclusions like "men are being ignored once again." This article is actually very well balanced. I also think that the meaning behind the "17% have suffered at the hands of an abuser" is more of an umbrella term for domestic abuse and not rape in itself; like 17% have experienced some type of severe domestic violence. I think it goes without saying that rape, in itself, in any form, is terrifying and awful.

FGM is not 'stopped' - it's just that it's only really practiced in tribal/rural cultures (like places in E. Africa) when a girl is 'coming of age' or getting married, and they don't want her to feel sexual stimulation anymore, so that she wont 'sleep around' with a bunch of men. Most of the time it results in full removal of the sex organs, and sewing up the labia, which results in infections and early death from being unable to pee and menstruate properly. I think the best way to handle male c…

Whats with pulling the "we man" card, like we are all against each other? My point was that women issues should not be ridiculed in a mens rights forum, it's counter productive, makes people go against each other, and humiliating for people that experience it. I would never post an article in r/feminism like "LOL @ men who feel unsafe walking in their neighborhoods because of violence." It's also comparable to femnazis who say that because they've never heard of a man being raped before, then it…

Men and women experience sexism in the media; in my observation, to an equal degree, and it can be terribly offensive and hurtful both ways. Sure, men are portrayed to be the macho man stereotype (among other things, of course)...women are portrayed to be the dainty housewife that loves to talk about her favorite dishwashing detergent, or needs that Slimfast to fit into size 2 jeans, etc, etc. It's great to address sexism in the media towards men; but it shouldn't be done by down-playing sexist …

What you are saying basically goes against your views in this original post, because you are now agreeing that women in certain areas do indeed have it more difficult when in comes to men approaching them. So therefore, don't belittle something that is a real problem for certain demographics of women via this article. And once again, YOU have found a way to make men back off in YOUR neighborhood when they approach you - but this doesn't mean that all the other women in this world are going to re…

oh geeze haha I didn't even realize how much i wrote sorry. My main point was that the whole movement shouldn't be looked at as illegitimate these days just because there are some bad apples that claim to be "feminists," but really just have a superiority complex (and the same can be said for the mens rights movement). Feminism is just about making change where it's needed, where women are being degrated and/or oppressed; weather it's a sexist ad in a magazine, or women in the middle east who ar…

Please tell me how something is a load of bullshit that exists? I have experienced this from a young age because of where I grew up, all of my friends have as well. Typically it's the teen/preteen girls that are most vulnerable to it, yet still to this day my friends and I have had very innapropriate flirtacious actions happen quite frequently. These are facts (not bullshit) of my experiences based on where I live and based on the culture that many men around me grew up in. Be a girl for 10 year…

"If a woman does not want a man to flirt with her, just say "I'm not single" and keep walking - what can someone say to that, fuck all really. " Well you obviously don't understand this problem or where she is coming from, nor have you ever experienced it yourself. You've never experienced it? Great, you're in a position of privilege then to view it as an outsider for women that do experience it on a daily or weekly basis. So, the neighborhood that I live in, at least, I can't go out walking at …

I understand the gripe with roe v. wade, but at the end of the day women and men are not equal in this sense, not because one gender has more privilege over the other gender, but because of biology. Men can't get can't pregnant, they never will, so therefore laws are not going to be equal in this sense to suit both genders. Sometimes laws have to be decided upon not to suit the individual, but to suit what is best for people as a whole. Is it sad that there's some men who may really want a child…

you know poeple can (and do) say the same exact thing about MRAs. it may come as a shocker, but womens rights organziations still have a lot of that same passion due to modern day issues that women face...it's would be similar if you said to people/organizations who work on modern day race issues "well you got the right to vote so just shut up already" ...Also, more importantly, there are feminist organizations that work towards equality NOT just in developed, first world nations, but in places …

Sorry, but I think that real feminism, like any other historical movement, is not about mantaining superiority, but more about keeping constant. If you are consistent then the rights that you worked hard for will remain in tact, but if you stop fighting then they will disapear. Same goes for the civil rights movement - racism and race equality is not 'won' just because the movement happened 50 years ago.... What would happen if the feminist movement and womens organizations just stopped? The fir…

this shouldn't be looked at as a woman vs. man thing...it's just that there's not a strong way to actually prove if a woman was lying about being on the pill, considering it's nothing more than a low dose of hormones. Theres not a ton of tests that can prove if someone was or wasn't on the pill when a child was conceived. Poking holes in condoms is obviously more tangible evidence. I believe reproductive coercion, or reproductive abuse is the proper term for someone who might do this. If this ma…

It depends what matters to you and what the persons intentions are. When I met my SO, I had my education, yes, but I dindn't have the other things due to financial problems and being laid-off. My intentions though, were to work towards all of those things. My SO didn't care though that I had fallen on some hard times upon meeting me, and now that I have all those things I don't think he views me any differently...

Well, privilege in specific situations and overall privilege can usually overlap, which is why I suppose it was easy for me to misunderstand your point. But, we don't live in a genderless and color blind society, we never have and probably never will. White/male privilege exists. It really, really does. And I can't name one? The list in endless, but to name a few - blacks and latinos are three times as likely to be pulled over by cops. White offenders are much more likely to be given lesser sent…

Wow...just...wow. Someone finally in r/mens rights tries to bring up the topic of men 'checking our privilege' at the door, and what does everyone here pretty much do? Deny that such privilege even exists. Just..wow. As a male, especially is you are a white male you have privilege, and do need to check it. End of story. Mens rights will never become an established movement, or even be taken seriously unless you being to do this.
