-23	Women make choices, men are to blame. To play devil's advocate: Victimhood is proportional to non-accountability and the average r/mensrights user embraces victimhood.	/r/MensRights	02/11/22 12:29 PM
-9	Women make choices, men are to blame. Opposite for me. Funny that.	/r/MensRights	02/11/22 12:28 PM
-13	Women make choices, men are to blame. Your entire argument is based on a generalisation which you've conjured up without evidene. Women in the west make choices that men have no influence on, that result in a lower sum total of the overall earnings of women in a country compared to men's.	/r/MensRights	02/11/22 12:27 PM
1	Why any male in the west would be a feminist? It's not my argument. You're reiterating a pretty common logical fallacy. You can obviously look at any such movement, or group and understand their general views based on the values they share and support and generalize based on that. Incorrect, and I repeat The proportion Q of the sample has attribute A. Therefore, the proportion Q of the population has attribute A.	/r/MensRights	02/11/22 12:25 PM
1	Why any male in the west would be a feminist? Precise and labels don't go together. A faulty generalization often follows the following format: The proportion Q of the sample has attribute A. Therefore, the proportion Q of the population has attribute A. Such a generalization proceeds from a premise about a sample (often unrepresentative or biased), to a conclusion about the population itself. Faulty generalization is also a mode of thinking that takes the experiences of one person or one group, and incorrectly extends it to another. source…	/r/MensRights	30/10/22 10:08 PM

1	Don’t let society shame you into misery I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way. There are various treatment options and there are people out there to support you. I wish you all the best in your journey. I hope you find what you're looking for.	/r/MensRights	30/10/22 07:29 PM

-1	everything is geared towards women yet somehow I'm privileged Thanks for sharing this with me. I suppose it depends on the relationship with your therapist, whether it be a man or a woman. Do you believe you can separate the MRA and Redpill related stuff when discussing your depression? Or, do you believe it perhaps it part of the source of what might be causing your depression? I just say whatever is on my mind. However, my relationship is pretty good with my therapist. It helps when I'm given questions, which makes me either question, or reframe my minds…	/r/MensRights	29/10/22 10:59 PM

0	everything is geared towards women yet somehow I'm privileged I see a therapist weekly about depression as well. Why do you avoid many subjects? What do you think is this source of your fear of wanting to talk about how you feel as a man?	/r/MensRights	29/10/22 07:42 PM
1	Feminists aside, I think the largest problem between the sexes is a lack of understanding Obviously these are broad generalities; it doesn't apply to every woman or every man, but I'd like to think that, for the most part, it's a lack of understanding that drives the growing divide between men and women, rather than misandry or misogyny. To offer an alternative viewpoint, why the need to use generalities? Why not specify certain individuals that we know, and perhaps make inferences on this sample size to the general population with the understanding that we might by x% wrong.	/r/MensRights	29/10/22 05:26 PM
1	Don’t let society shame you into misery Yes, but everybody has an intrinsic responsibility over their own lives. If the OP is miserable and isn't a great person to be around, this is entirely on him to sort out. It's usually a good sign for therapy.	/r/MensRights	29/10/22 05:17 PM
0	Don’t let society shame you into misery If you’re feeling your sexual desires aren’t fulfilled, get yourself an escort. I'd say you should really communicate here. If you're miserable and lonely, there are proactive steps that you can take to remedy this. Also, if you are in a relationship and you feel that your sexual needs aren't being met, you should communicate this honestly with your partner. Whilst they have every right to consent, or not consent to sex, you also have the right to consent to being in a celibate relationship. How…	/r/MensRights	29/10/22 05:13 PM

7	everything is geared towards women yet somehow I'm privileged You're wanting to kill yourself? I really think reaching out for help is needed here.	/r/MensRights	29/10/22 05:05 PM
2	My gender studies course required us to write about the wage gap, and I pointed out that empirically it is complete nonsense. My professor more or less told me I shouldnt use empirical data to determine the wage gap or issues of gender inequality You appear to be going through a Dunning-Kruger effect here. What evidence have you provided to support your claim? What is the sample size? Country? Statistical model used? I'd really avoid ad hominen statements about your professor here. It's a logical fallacy and I'd advise that it's better to support your claim by evidence than by saying that somebody is dumb.	/r/MensRights	29/10/22 05:03 PM

To delve into this further Unhealthy coping mechanisms: People who have a victim mentality have often suffered through trauma or hard times, but haven't developed a healthier way to cope. As a result, they develop a negative view of life, where they feel that they don't have any control over what happens to them. source Per the article, if a person doesn’t think anything is their fault, they have little or no sense of responsibility for their lives. It just happens to them. So…	/r/MensRights	19/10/22 07:25 PM

2	We are fighting a war without any support. I just need to rant. I apologise if that’s not allowed. I have no issue with someone holding a different opinion to me. However to be ignorant to accountability and blame men for women’s own problems is just moronic. That's your opinion. Also, you'll meet people who hold this opinion. There's no point to allow them to live rent free in your head. Also, we live in a world where there is reality and truth. If someone wants to live outside of reality & truth then that’s up to them, but spouting their ridiculous notions of there own opinion which has no …	/r/MensRights	19/10/22 05:20 PM
5	We are fighting a war without any support. I just need to rant. I apologise if that’s not allowed. Women now have all the power because you don't agree with the basis of her argument? You've also just called her a person "with the intelligence of a 5 year old" but you don't have the maturity to accept her opinion being different from yours, and simply moving on. I would argue a 5 year old would get upset over this. You live in a society. You won't always agree with everybody. I'd suggest figuring out why you're so trigged by this. It's your issue here, not her issue.	/r/MensRights	19/10/22 04:52 PM
1	Female colleague at work told me "Imagine how great it would be if all men stopped existing for like, a month..." You can't control people. You can control the way you interact with them. Perhaps this specific person was a bigot, but this won't be the last person the OP will have to deal with. A therapist would normally ask such a statement would have provoked the reaction. Also, how does it make them feel. Ultimately, we have an intrinsic responsibility over our own individual lives.	/r/MensRights	19/10/22 04:49 PM

1	ask your counsellor if she is a feminist? I suggested feminists have a very one sided view on the world and im seeking someone who is more open minded. How do you define open-minded? Is it simply when it agrees with you?	/r/MensRights	19/10/22 01:35 PM
1	Female colleague at work told me "Imagine how great it would be if all men stopped existing for like, a month..." Edit: I don't hate women and please don't turn this into a generic women bashing thing. It undermines us and the cause of equal rights. Ta. You seem to want to control what other people are saying to you. First, by her comments, then now, what others are wishing to bring up. Have you ever thought why you have this need to control what others say to you?	/r/MensRights	19/10/22 01:33 PM

1	Just got a letter from AAA about life insurance. Men pay up to 40% more than women because they were born with the wrong genitals Can you please provide the data for the below statement: Similarly certain ethnic groups have shorter life expectancy than whites. But having a "whites" and "blacks" pricing would be evil. Also, out of curiosity, what is your understanding of actuarial risk? For example, the risk where assumptions actuaries implement into models used to price specific insurance policies may prove to be inaccurate or wrong?	/r/MensRights	14/09/22 03:35 PM
1	I don’t understand why sexual assault cannot be gender-inclusive these days, why is it still seen as a women’s problem? Statistics isn't a science. For most people, it's a field of its own. It has connections with science and math, but it’s not part of either of those. Herein lies your issue. Also, you might need to look into how null vs alternative hypotheses work, and bias of estimators. I believe your misunderstanding probably stems from those two topics. You'll need a bit of calculus and linear algebra. I really feel for you, and your pain. There is obvious hurt. I hope you're able to deal with it. All the be…	/r/MensRights	23/06/22 11:33 AM

0	I don’t understand why sexual assault cannot be gender-inclusive these days, why is it still seen as a women’s problem? A bodily violation clearly more permanent and harmful than rape.

1	I don’t understand why sexual assault cannot be gender-inclusive these days, why is it still seen as a women’s problem? It's clear that your background is not in statistics, or mathematics. Objectivity doesn't exist in clinical, or peer-reviewed studies. What we can do, is to eliminate bias via mixed models, control groups, and monitoring type 1 and type 2 statistical errors. You tend towards one or the other, without the proper safeguards in place. However, there's no free lunch, and with statistical power, you either gain or lose the validity of your data or models. However, you can't be objective. Also, as sta…	/r/MensRights	23/06/22 02:41 AM

0	I don’t understand why sexual assault cannot be gender-inclusive these days, why is it still seen as a women’s problem? That stat is only valid because they ignore male victims. If you use the objectively same criteria for a victim and apply it equally to men, 7 out of 10 men in the USA have been sexually assaulted. Citation please. Per RAINN Millions of men in the United States have been victims of rape. As of 1998, 2.78 million men in the U.S. had been victims of attempted or completed rape. About 3% of American men—or 1 in 33—have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. 1 out of every 10 …	/r/MensRights	22/06/22 04:56 PM
1	Why do many men hate other men? You point out that certain men (you don't cite your sources, so I'm assuming you're referring to arbitrary personal events in your life) hate other men whenever girls get involved, but then you yourself claim to hate those men, who hate men whenever girls get involved. Perhaps, you might be part of the very problem that you're raising?	/r/MensRights	19/06/22 11:44 PM

Also, many organisations treat this as a widespread issue, which affects men as well. https://www.rainn.org/statistics/victims-sexual-violence What statisticians find interesting, is why one group is affected more than the other. For example, the null hypothesis is that sexual assault is equal amongst both men and women. However, the data shows this is untrue, therefore we reject our null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothe…	/r/MensRights	19/06/22 01:29 PM

Much of this stems, at least in my opinion, from a lack of statistics, sample sizes, how this infers to the greater population, etc. I'm very open to my own bias. I'm also open to being wrong. However, on the other hand, if you arbitrarily lump people into groups, or just call people names, without addressing the flaws in your argument, it might be a testament to your maturity level.

Also, if you call a person a troll, who has a contrary viewpoint, and asks for citations, or peer-reviewed studies to support his/her opinion, then you truly have my pity.
