1	Trans woman saying male privilege is overstated and female privilege is understated in feminist discourse. Rejects feminist discourse. For something to be a lie it just needs to not be 100% true. You're thinking of "false," which is a category of statements much broader than those that are called "lies." False statements are often made from ignorance rather than malice, and only the latter category are normally deemed "lies."	/r/MensRights	14/12/15 01:04 AM
2	Google's front page celebrated International Women's Day in 2005, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. Still awaiting the first acknowledgement of International Men's Day. That's not even remotely true. Of the first 15 on that list that celebrate individuals, 13 were for men. The only other gendered ones in that time were international girls' day and women's day. 13-4 is most certainly primarily male. Stop living in some kind of fantasy world and get back objective reality.	/r/MensRights	10/03/15 12:23 AM
1	Are you a boy between 12 and 16? Don't go to the Salvation Army (at least in one location) on a cold night. You'll be turned away If these facts were accurate for some reason, why do you think that they show what they do? Because society treats boys and girls differently. They could be absolutely identical at birth, but it's perfectly understandable for people who are raised differently to behave differently.	/r/MensRights	02/12/14 12:03 AM
1	Are you a boy between 12 and 16? Don't go to the Salvation Army (at least in one location) on a cold night. You'll be turned away Are you claiming to know that if the statistics could be accurately measured, we would find that the rates are equal? Or are you just saying we don't know, and should therefore go with the often correct assumption of equality? I don't know what the true rates are, so my position is that I don't know who does it more, if either. I used to believe the statistics were true, but if they're literally all wrong then I have no basis upon which to form an opinion.	/r/MensRights	01/12/14 08:07 AM

You'll be turned away It's impossible to get accurate statistics and I'm sure that men and women are equally likely don't seem to be compatible statements. How are you so sure of your position if accurate statistics don't exist? Have they found some other way to measure it?	/r/MensRights	30/11/14 11:53 PM
10	Women's rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali slams feminism's 'trivial BS': “We must reclaim and retake feminism from our fellow idiotic women.” If their movement is genuinely about equality for humans, and they have a large supply of supporters and resources, does it really matter what it's called? Throwing a fit over the name is just as bad as worrying about the "trivial BS" mentioned in the article.	/r/MensRights	24/11/14 09:30 AM
2	Even false rape accusations should appear on academic records to prevent entry into college Employers are allowed to run criminal background checks before hiring, to protect both the company and your fellow employees. College students often spend even more time in close quarters with one another than coworkers do, shouldn't private universities be able to exercise the same precautions as private employers? Of course, crimes you are accused but not convicted of aren't supposed to follow you around, but I'm taking about actual convictions.	/r/MensRights	05/10/14 08:42 PM
4	Why false rape accusers should be considered sex offenders. Most actual rape cases don't have enough evidence to convict, because it very often boils down to he said vs she said. I'm pretty skeptical that a lack of a guilty verdict is that highly correlated with a maliciously fabricated accusation.	/r/MensRights	17/08/14 05:02 AM

1	The 18 year old girl who hit and killed 2 kids in a pile of leaves, then drove off and covered up the evidence will not serve any jail time.

2	A good friend died 2 days ago . He was denied a medical procedure because he is male, and I'll really angry. Is it not possible to get more people to learn by making it more convenient to learn? That is, wanting to learn vs not wanting to learn isn't a binary trait, but rather there's a spectrum of how much effort people are willing to exert to increase their knowledge. Putting everybody in a class won't help the people with an extremely low willingness, but people in the middle who wouldn't have sought out the information on their own might learn if they get it nicely cut up into bite-sized pieces and…	/r/MensRights	01/02/14 10:14 PM
1	A good friend died 2 days ago . He was denied a medical procedure because he is male, and I'll really angry. You can't teach people who don't want to learn. I disagree with that based on my childhood of being raised by Asian parents, but I agree with your overall point. Obviously not everybody will retain all the knowledge they were supposed to obtain from their 13+ years of school. Still, I believe trying to get everyone to learn more (e.g. whether or not you inherit your diseased relative's debts) would be well worth the investment.	/r/MensRights	01/02/14 02:15 AM
3	A good friend died 2 days ago . He was denied a medical procedure because he is male, and I'll really angry. I guess we just have very different outlooks on the way society should function. Personal responsibility is great, but I think it's just a tool for achieving the greatest good for the greatest number of people, rather than a worthy goal by itself. I also think it becomes a much stronger tool when we give everybody a proper education whether they want it or not.	/r/MensRights	01/02/14 02:03 AM

Even if you think they should know, the fact is that they don't, and letting them suffer because of that is pretty cold. 1 Source: my ass	/r/MensRights	01/02/14 01:55 AM

5	Solo Mother Blocks School's Day Of Male Bonding I've already heard stories of kids from straight couples who have a different gender identity. It's just a thing that happens, I doubt it occurred solely because of his parents' sexuality. Something like that is less likely to be repressed in more liberal household, so you might hear about it more, but that doesn't mean it happened because of the parents.	/r/MensRights	02/06/13 10:35 AM
-1	Feynman Sexist Pig! (a chapter from Feynman's semi-autobiography) There's a feedback loop. Because men are currently over-represented in technical fields, there's an abundance of male role models and media depictions that encourage boys and young men to get into technical fields. While it's possible that men are inherently better at technical subjects than women, the fact that there are more men in technical fields is certainly not sufficient evidence of such a disparity.	/r/MensRights	25/03/13 12:12 PM

3	Teenage boy jailed for being a teenage boy. Drawing a flaming glove is now disturbing and suspicious weapons-related activity when done in a school. Because males make more testosterone, which makes for bigger, stronger muscles.

1	Front page, center. Glad to see these issues picking up steam. It's only my local paper, but it's getting visibility! I don't actually know if that's how alimony laws work, I'm just saying alimony is a reasonable concept if you have restrictions like that.

1	Front page, center. Glad to see these issues picking up steam. It's only my local paper, but it's getting visibility! If you get a divorce because your wife decides she doesn't want to work, I would imagine that alimony gets calculated based on what she was making before she quit her job. If you decide you want her to go back to work after she's been at home for 5 years, then you're probably screwed.	/r/MensRights	21/12/12 01:08 PM
1	Front page, center. Glad to see these issues picking up steam. It's only my local paper, but it's getting visibility! I find it hard to believe that it was solely the stay-at-home husband/wife's decision to suspend their career. Yes, it was a choice, but the working partner almost certainly still had a say in the matter. The choice was also made under the assumption that they would be supported financially for the rest of their life. If you signed a prenuptial agreement saying otherwise, that's another matter, but you have to establish the fact that financial support is not indefinite before somebody sacrifices…	/r/MensRights	21/12/12 12:56 PM

2	Stop this: "Yes, behind all human misery stand MEN, but they only did what they were told by women." Hmm, perhaps I was reading my own ideas into the OP, if not you're correct in saying it could have been clearer. And I most certainly agree that it is a part of the problem, if not one of the main problems in the quest for gender equality. Not only are women at a disadvantage simply because of tradition, but efforts to balance the playing field will inevitably hurt some men disproportionately, and not help some women enough, making society unfair across some other axis.	/r/MensRights	09/02/11 10:38 AM
0	Stop this: "Yes, behind all human misery stand MEN, but they only did what they were told by women." No, the point they were trying to make wasn't "men accomplished all the good in the world, so you should also forgive all the bad." The point was that for most of history men have been significantly more prominent in the public sphere, so it's perfectly normal for most of the evil to be attributed to men. As evidence of this, it is also the case that they are responsible for a greater portion of famous achievements that benefited mankind.	/r/MensRights	09/02/11 09:08 AM

-2	Misandric Poster from Amnesty International I'm sure plenty of women hit their male partners, but that 70% does exclude cases where when a woman hits a man and he doesn't flinch (cases where the woman is too weak to land a real punch/the man is a badass), correct?

2	'5 of 1,000 women raped or sexually assaulted' The only statistical effect lowering my rate would be people who get repeatedly attacked, but because the original rate is so low, it makes little difference: 1- (.99575) =1 - 0.686 = 0.313, so a woman has an overall chance of a little less than a third of getting raped some time in their life. The fact that women of different ages have different chances of getting raped actually increases this probability, so it's a lower bound. Now, please let me know where I'm wrong.	/r/MensRights	29/12/10 06:37 PM
