| 1 | When They See Us on Netflix should be watched by everyone in this sub.maybe don’t make up your mind about a shows narrative until you’ve seen the whole thing. That's not really a fair standard. Yeah, don't make up your mind based on a headline or short trailer, but after an episode? If there's a clear pattern of literally every white man in the first episode being an antagonist, that's noteworthy, even if it gets better in the latter episodes. And he never “made up his mind” based on the first episode. He simply had an initial impression. It's absolutely fair to b… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/19 01:30 PM |
| 2 | When They See Us on Netflix should be watched by everyone in this sub.Unfortunately, this is why I doubt it will be considered for any Emmy's or mainstream awards. I wouldn't be so sure. I haven't seen it yet, but I'd bet money that the victims are portrayed entirely as victims of racism, and not at all as victims of sexism (based on the trailer, and Netflix's politics). The fact that one of the characters is transgender should be a clue as to why this particular case was chosen. Netflix is an SJW company. Edit: oh, and the fact that Trump was involved back then a… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/19 01:15 PM |

| 1 | Thoughts on "Manspreading"That doesn't really prove anything. There are a lot of feminists who think men have all the rights that women do and more, when the complete opposite is true.

You are being extremely careful to question without saying anything, yourself, and I find it disingenuous. I wasn't being (and am not being) disingenuous.

When that rape accusation is shown to be false, it's just a tiny percentage of all rape accusations, and actually, most rapists go free (see how it changes from “rape accusations” to “rapists”?).

| 2 | Commuter who walked past actress at Waterloo station cleared of 'bizarre' sex assault claimTrue, there's a definite sexism occurring here in how we treat the accused vs. the accuser, especially with the difference in plausibility.

Men and women do not have identical reproductive value. 1 man and 1 woman have identical value when they're the only ones available.

It would have been repeating itself earlier on, but after I fixed the bug, I used a script to remove all the mirrors and comments and restarted the bot.

| 1 | I'm a future female social worker and I want to ask you some thingsLet the other say what they need to, but then you have a turn after them. If the other cannot back up their claims of oppression with facts, instead of feelings, then you don't need to accept what they say. Only an idiot takes all the advice they are given or ignores all the advice they are given.

| 1 | Bill Maher's Response to Recent Study on Sexual Coercion Calls on Male Victims to "Grow A Pair"An incorrect usage of a word (especially where I was clear that I was not sure of the definition) is not a misinformed viewpoint.

| 37 | Men are better equipped than women to deal with all sorts of situations and better able to adjust, which is a sign of intelligence.So I read the full article linked in that post, which says that women are better equipped to deal with some situations than men, and the discussion was about how women often sell themselves short in the workplace because they've been told by society that women are at a disadvantage in the male-dominated business world. In that context, it makes perfect sense to say that women are better equipped to deal with some situations so they should feel just as confident as men when given a task to do. I'… | /r/MensRights | 04/04/14 05:21 PM |

Personally, for me, the word has so many connotations that when you follow all the rules in Islam, you end up with something that you would not recognise as a date. For one, you can't be alone.

| 8 | A local school teacher here was forced to resign after school officials spied on him to catch him having consensual sex with a female teacher at the same school. The female teacher was not reprimanded, her identity is being protected, and she is being treated as a victim.The article refers to her as a staffer, not as a teacher. They may have had different contracts. It also states that the principal had a chat with Mr. Brown, while she didn't do so with that female staffer. This suggests that Mr. Brown lied about his fling, while the female staffer made no comments. Teachers are held to a higher standard. Perhaps that explains the difference in punishment. What happened here may very well be discriminatory, but that's not the only possibility. | /r/MensRights | 16/11/13 11:06 AM |

| 1 | 18% of men will self-harm in their lives, mostly between age 10-19I am a teenager. Only became 19 this year, June. | /r/MensRights | 20/10/13 08:41 PM |
| 1 | 18% of men will self-harm in their lives, mostly between age 10-19Man, that sounds incredibly high. Reminds me of the 1 in 4 women will be raped stat. Does anyone have a link to the full study, so it can be examined? | /r/MensRights | 20/10/13 08:37 AM |
| 1 | 18% of men will self-harm in their lives, mostly between age 10-19I never thought of it that way. However, I don't think when people accuse others of attention-seeking that they mean they don't need attention. I think if person A said that person B was attention-seeking, person A would still agree that person B required attention, just by medical professionals. People say things like, "you/they need help" to or about attention seekers. I think people don't really comprehend the situation when it comes to mental health, so when a mentally ill or damaged person … | /r/MensRights | 20/10/13 07:49 AM |
| 2 | Oxford really need to get their act together - definition of misandry vs. misogyny in Oxford Dictionary of EnglishAnd whoever wrote the definition for misandry did not have the archetypal butch, lesbian man-hater? They better not be written by the same person! | /r/MensRights | 10/10/13 08:47 AM |
| 3 | Oxford really need to get their act together - definition of misandry vs. misogyny in Oxford Dictionary of EnglishWhile it's true that DemonicBtch's argument is a tone argument, she is a well-regarded commenter on /r/mensrights, definitely not a troll. She was simply commenting that there was no need for you to be rude, which while not conducive to the actual discussion, is not totally unreasonable. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/13 08:44 AM |
| -1 | This morning, feminist demonization of male sexuality claimed the life of yet another young boy. I knew him from the day he was born. His father is a good friend. Facing felony sex charges for streaking at a HS football game, he took his own life. He was 15.The sexes are already reversed. Just attend a SlutWalk. | /r/MensRights | 07/10/13 12:25 AM |
| 2 | Guys this just happened.. First time I've ever encountered anything like this. Are people really this ignorant? What do I do??Create a bot that automatically does that. | /r/MensRights | 06/10/13 11:35 PM |
| 2 | Oxford Dictionary defines a rapist as "A MAN who commits rape". Please email [email protected] about this horrible mistake.Yep. This is even worse than you thought, because OS X and Google both use Oxford. | /r/MensRights | 06/10/13 11:27 PM |
| 1 | Secret Toronto Feminist Meeting 23rd September recorded by A Voice for MenI'd guessed as much. Thanks! I'm done editing now anyway, so hopefully, the mods won't have to anything more. I don't remember editing it 10 times, but I guess I'm wrong. | /r/MensRights | 29/09/13 03:35 PM |
| 1 | Secret Toronto Feminist Meeting 23rd September recorded by A Voice for MenYou caught the joke :) | /r/MensRights | 28/09/13 06:41 PM |
| 1 | Secret Toronto Feminist Meeting 23rd September recorded by A Voice for MenOh, okay. Well, keep up the good work! The fact that you went through what the spam filter had already declared as spam is really appreciated. | /r/MensRights | 28/09/13 12:41 PM |
| 1 | Secret Toronto Feminist Meeting 23rd September recorded by A Voice for MenHoly shit, I didn't even notice anything. No email or orangered from the spam filter or anything like that. Is that normal? | /r/MensRights | 28/09/13 12:16 PM |
| 1 | Secret Toronto Feminist Meeting 23rd September recorded by A Voice for MenDone! It'll probably be done uploading by the time you read this. Edit: damn it! Removed for being too long. I should have seen that one coming. Edit: turns out I just had to verify my account. Huh, back in my day, we had to have a partnered account. | /r/MensRights | 28/09/13 11:25 AM |
| 1 | Secret Toronto Feminist Meeting 23rd September recorded by A Voice for Mendiscussing male issues that don't affect them in any way, like circumcision. Of course circumcision affects them. Some beauty products contain baby foreskin. | /r/MensRights | 28/09/13 09:20 AM |
| 4 | Secret Toronto Feminist Meeting 23rd September recorded by A Voice for MenIt depends on what you mean by "private". From the other discussions tab, a feminist commenting on a link to this post (from againstmr subreddit) took issue with the usage of the word "secret", claiming that the meeting was advertised via posters. Nevertheless, secret in this context means unrecorded in the annals of history. At least, that was the intention with the ban on recording devices. So, you could say that the feminists in question did not want and did not reasonably expect their detail… | /r/MensRights | 27/09/13 11:34 AM |
| 3 | Secret Toronto Feminist Meeting 23rd September recorded by A Voice for MenTechnically, if someone published a photo of themselves on Facebook and a friend released it to the Internet, along with their details, that would be doxxing. If they say their names in the recording, without knowing that they're being recorded, that could also be considered doxxing by the recorder, if they release it. | /r/MensRights | 27/09/13 08:38 AM |
