| 2 | Man pays into a daycare funding pool every year, is denied its use when he finally needs it because he's a man (x-post from /r/AmITheAsshole)That is EXACTLY the point of community contribution. For example, if you live in a country with socialized medicine/social security, everyone gives a percentage of their earnings to it, so that people who normally couldn't afford medical expenses, could. This is because everyone can end up accruing medical expenses. People pay into a pool, if those people need to access the pool they use it. It is unethical to force people to pay into a pool that they're barred from accessing if needed. You can'… | /r/MensRights | 19/09/19 10:08 PM |

| – | Oh please!So the issue is that the studio is sacrificing profits to let the writers/director tell the story they want to tell. I know a lot of people complain about the exact opposite - when studios meddle and make their media easier to consume but less compelling. Maybe it's an issue for the studio, but is it an issue that we consumers have to care about? | /r/MensRights | 16/07/17 05:36 PM |

| 3 | Imagine the reaction if men got "men's studies" degrees and then tried to dictate all the things that women should do...Corrected the fragment, it was due to rewriting that section a few times. It still sounds to me like you're arguing for different standards of responsibility based on what's between someone's legs. Especially when science can now also allow people to choose which bits they have, I don't see that as a sustainable way forward for society. If one group acquires a new right, it makes sense that we'd look for other groups to acquire comparable rights. Is that really such an "ugly head"? | /r/MensRights | 27/03/17 11:38 PM |
| 5 | Imagine the reaction if men got "men's studies" degrees and then tried to dictate all the things that women should do...What you're saying here pushes a violation of a woman's right to bodily integrity. If a woman is capable of raising a child, but would financially depend on her partner as a result (as it almost universally does), and that partner is free and clear to say "Fuck you, I don't want a child, so I'm leaving", then guess who has no choice but to get a medical procedure she didn't want.

Why is that valid and not irrational juxtaposition? However, many feminists believe in Patriarchy Theory, or even Kyriarchy Theory. These theories are based on the concepts of privilege - male privilege in the case of Patriarchy, and intersecting privileges in Kyriarchy that account for gender, ethnicity and other factors. While there may have been an argument for male privilege at one point in time, many within the MRM do not believe that male privilege i… | /r/MensRights | 27/03/17 11:03 PM |
| 3 | Imagine the reaction if men got "men's studies" degrees and then tried to dictate all the things that women should do...The logic here works as follows: Women have reproductive rights. Men do not. Women and men should have equal opportunity. To that end, there are two options: (a) Advance men's reproductive rights, or (b) rescind women's reproductive rights. Given the options, the former is better for humanity/society. FWIW we're also arguing for a fair way to allow the father to opt out of parenthood.

| 2 | Imagine the reaction if men got "men's studies" degrees and then tried to dictate all the things that women should do...The only argument that should be required in favor of absolving men of responsibility is them admitting they're not ready to be a parent. The same level of responsibility by which we allow women to absolve their parental obligations. It would be anti-feminist to disagree - it's an argument for equality between the sexes after all. | /r/MensRights | 27/03/17 10:16 PM |

Simply put, women have choices when it comes to deciding to become a parent. Men do not have any choices in this regard. That's fucked up.

Though it was satire (and was labeled as such at the top of the piece) several feminist sites quoted it and claimed they were true beliefs and thus urged their readers to not visit the page they quoted.

| 4 | it's not okay to rape or decide for women, but if you are a man, you should agree to marriage...This is actually a misconception feminists use quite often. Only when men think they have any chance at success will they fight for it, thus skewing the statistic. If men always fought for primary custody they would lose much more than they win - your claim is only "correct" because of the pre-selection of cases. Custody battles are always expensive, and when you've already had half your earnings removed it is hard to afford court. | /r/MensRights | 06/08/14 02:47 PM |

| 0 | X-post from /r/relationships: A girl wonders if her man cheated when he was being taken advantage of while black-out drunk. He has no memory of the incident. Comments all over the place, but some suggestions that he was molested are there.Honestly, it depends on whether or not you believe that a drunk person can still consent to sex. There are people in this sub who believe they can, there are others who believe they cannot. Since this is still a controversial and unresolved issue, its hard to come down with an objective "he cheated" or "he was sexually assaulted." Under existing laws, he was sexually assaulted. But this conversation is in the social realm, not the legal realm. | /r/MensRights | 15/10/13 03:23 PM |

Jen is a "strong female character" but she has serious flaws, weaknesses, and personality issues that make her character more complex.

I think it is because the male isn't the one being penetrated and thus isn't being penetrated by the sex organ of another person. I hope you don't mind me saying, it is refreshing to see a self-proclaimed feminist with an open mind to such issues. :) | /r/MensRights | 05/09/12 11:23 PM |
| 3 | I'm SorryOctopusNSquid's comment seems to already answer your question, if implicitly. I also think there needs to be a emphasis on helping men feel comfortable coming forward... ONS thinks society should help more men come forward, so ONS likely agrees that they are currently underrepresented in DV discussions. | /r/MensRights | 05/09/12 11:16 PM |
| 2 | "Rape is a crime committed by a man, not a woman." Fuck You, Napolitano. Sincerely, Godofchaos.A woman would never rape a man with the intention of getting pregnant? I'm not so sure, considering there are many documented cases of such behavior (albeit "forced to penetrate =/= rape" bs). While the context does somewhat alleviate this ignorance/acceptance of the double standard, it is still wrong and paints men in an unequal light. | /r/MensRights | 26/08/12 02:52 PM |
| 2 | Dude throws tantrum on account of ‘sexism’; feminists laugh their faces offMen don’t have to think about where they sit. It’s a non-event. Women and children do have to think about it because they live in a society where rape and assault are common and rarely defended against. I don't know about you guys, but I'm always hyper-aware of where I sit/stand and avoid unusual characters of either gender when I take public transportation. (Which is increasingly often as I do a lot in my city's downtown and recently got a bus pass.) | /r/MensRights | 22/08/12 12:11 AM |

| 1 | If both the male and female are drunk, and they have sex, which one is the rapist?From what I'm getting of your standard, the person initiating isn't in a position to consent - because consenting means you're agreeing to something someone else has propositioned. I'm curious what you think of the following... If a drunk woman initiates with a sober man and he consents, is there no case for rape? She isn't in a position to consent because she propositioned him, after all? | /r/MensRights | 14/08/12 08:05 PM |

If neither parent wants custody of the kids, why would the couple even have children? Logically, there must be at least one parent that wants children, most often both parents do or they wouldn't have them in the first place.

I'd suggest cutting her some slack rather than getting bogged down in the word choice between "can be" and "are socially acceptably allowed to be." I'd say "can be" just because its less to type out and conveys the same idea.

I didn't see anything that placed value one way or another - no "this is a good/bad thing". I think that, on average, and with the disclaimers she has at the start of her post, that she's right on the mark about how those gender roles play out.

"If a father is removed from a woman’s decision over a pregnancy, he is also removed from parental obligation."It makes sense to me at least! And it does suck. Our conflicting opinions are largely about there not being a perfect answer to the issue, but trying to get as fair as possible. As you say, the responsibility of prevention or the blame (from society) is almost entirely on women. If there were more effective means of contraception for men, I expect they would be more equitable in this regard.
