1	Something that happened at work today Peace indeed. Calm again now - the thing is, that you are (I think) putting ideas in my head that I don't have. Even though a man, if he did what she did, would be. I don't disagree Hell, you do realize that men are assigned the death penalty far more often than women are for comparable crimes? Yes, I do, this is terrible to see there is double standards here? I recognise the double standards completely Here is why I'm struggling you say: In all likelihood, she will not be fired. Even though a m…	/r/MensRights	20/09/12 07:09 PM
1	Something that happened at work today GOD DAMN IT - I'm sorry to get frustrated with you and everyone else in this place but I NEVER ADVOCATED THAT WHAT SHE DID OR SAID WAS OK OR GOOD OR EXCUSABLE. I Was just saying maybe resolve it rather than aim to get her fired ITS JUST FUCKING UNKIND SHE HAS A LIFE AND PROBABLY A FAMILY TO HELP FEED.	/r/MensRights	20/09/12 04:52 PM
2	Something that happened at work today Fuck me I never realized how damn childish this sub is. I came here for reasoned debate about gender equality, something I care a lot about - and instead I get people angrily making unreasonable responses to things they want to hear rather than have been stated. Well enjoy the circlejerk guys - unsubscribed and blocked.	/r/MensRights	20/09/12 04:37 PM
-2	Something that happened at work today talking about killing your coworker Ok I understand your point, but sensationalism by gradual increment is getting us no where, we aren't talking about death threats, we are talking about discussing slapping a guy for touching a woman. It's not the same. The guy shouldn't touch the woman, the woman shouldn't slap the man. No one is disagreeing about that. I just don't think it's good to try to get people fired unless it's absolutely necessary. EDIT: relevant, and mood lightening :) (I hope) http…	/r/MensRights	19/09/12 08:26 PM
0	Something that happened at work today Jesus, remind me to never work for large companies. I've always worked in start ups and we all just get along, if we piss each other off we talk to each other about it - but then there's like 8 of us so that actually works.	/r/MensRights	19/09/12 07:33 PM
-12	Something that happened at work today What? First of all that's ridiculous, no one is getting fired for not reporting something which is not explicitly banned by a work place (this is open to interpretation). And secondly of course I wouldn't prefer it, what part of anything I said implies I would. What a stupid question. I'm not saying it should be passively approved - make your objections to the people concerned or go via HR to improve behavior. Just don't aim to get the person fired because you are mad about something they did, t…	/r/MensRights	19/09/12 06:07 PM
0	Feminist Frequency and 21st Century Feminism - YouTube ._. you shouldn't generalize when discussing the behaviour of large sets of individuals. That's partly what we ourselves are here to fight against. I've never met a feminist who isn't up for vigorous debate. So there are at least many exceptions to your claim.	/r/MensRights	19/09/12 04:39 PM
-25	Something that happened at work today Guys, can we please be more reasonable? Jokey conversations* like this are a product of social backdrop against which we currently live - yes it is bad: it's more acceptable to joke around about violence against men than it is women ("just slap him!" vs "just slap her!" are very different - and that's bad!) BUT they are different, at the moment, in this world, and these women are somewhat guilty for not being more self aware blah blah, but again, these ideas are somewhat accepted. It won't chang…	/r/MensRights	19/09/12 04:30 PM
-2	Woman who falsely claimed she was raped by three men because she regretted having sex with them jailed for two years Listen you pathetic angry little boy: Don't bring your half baked understanding of jurisprudence and the role of gender in society to bear in calling others around you trying to have reasoned conversation 'ass hats'. The irony of you calling me ignorant is astounding - I've advocated nothing that isn't completely obvious to a rational reasoned person, you are simply angry at women. You need to stop viewing this world as a war of the sexes otherwise there will always be discrimination, so long as…	/r/MensRights	19/09/12 04:21 PM
-6	Woman who falsely claimed she was raped by three men because she regretted having sex with them jailed for two years Woah woah, there's a whole lot of anger in your post. Firstly, you feminist types I'm a guy, and not very keen on feminists as I think a gender based approach to equality defeats the point (we're all just people, our genitals don't matter) Secondly, I don't think your really replying to my concern: I was just suggesting that this is a very complex issue. Don't, in your anger, forget that the majority of women who have been raped have been brutally mentally broken, they are afraid insecure and te…	/r/MensRights	19/09/12 06:06 AM
1	Woman who falsely claimed she was raped by three men because she regretted having sex with them jailed for two years The Daily Mail's reporting standards are well known not just to be 'one point of view' as you are implying but extremely warped to support an agenda they clearly have. I personally know people who have had their studies compeltely taken out of context (in one of the DM's many cell phones cause cancer stories) to support an article claiming the exact opposite of the claim the study was making. They are NOTORIOUS for hackery, sensationlism and dishonesty. If you want a slightly right wing paper as…	/r/MensRights	19/09/12 12:04 AM
0	Woman who falsely claimed she was raped by three men because she regretted having sex with them jailed for two years It's not like this is a war between men and women. There are some people of poor character out there, some are men who rape women, some are woman who cause men to be falsly imprisoned. Both life ruining things to do to someone. We should do our utmost to avoid both - I do think that women need protection in coming forward with claims of rape, and if false accusation was punishable this would be an extra barrier to this (if they fail to get evidence and win the rape case then suddenly they are lo…	/r/MensRights	18/09/12 11:57 PM
2	Just a Little Comparison That Needed to be Done They are - you'd have to go to your Dr. and explain why you wanted it doing so that they could make you an appointment and all, so I think you have to justify it. But that justification only has to be 'I changed my mind about not wanting more kids'.	/r/MensRights	27/08/12 09:06 PM
8	Just a Little Comparison That Needed to be Done UK here, it's worth noting that a lot of these issues are US specific - brith control (including IUDs) is free for everyone of any sex in the UK	/r/MensRights	27/08/12 04:15 PM
2	The new poster campaign on campus These are fascinating links thanks. Yes I think you are certainly right to point out how deep our programmed prejudice / bias in these matters runs. Additionally in terms of female crime, this video always makes my skin crawl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBdHXelHSPE two girls at the London riots. As we've both said it's very complex, and the degree to which men and women have been socialized into both percieving and performing their roles is amazing. I used to instruct a self defence class, a…	/r/MensRights	23/08/12 01:14 AM
3	The new poster campaign on campus Also for what it is worth, you changing this part: I repeatedly witness this demographic get involved with petty crime, specifically mild violent crime (catfights) to more serious things (gangs/vandalism/thievery/thelistgoesonwithoutbeinggendered). Makes it innacurate for me - I don't witness this, at anything like the same rate as I do for men. So as I was presenting my own experience (well aware that this is simply my experience) in that context this is not true	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 11:04 PM
6	The new poster campaign on campus I take your point, but in honesty, how it sounds is like you are over reaching to make your point. Female teenagers are viscous, cruel and competitive. Are they as likely to be involved in violence? No, I don't believe so, I've just got no reason to believe that it is the case, so if you have please present it. While I'd agree conditioning is an issue, you can't just state that we are conditioned to ignore it without some reasoning to discuss the degree to which that is the case or if it is the …	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 11:00 PM
1	The new poster campaign on campus :) MRA? Male... Rapist Assassin?	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 08:34 PM
2	The new poster campaign on campus Yes - I'm at least partially aware of these issues, and would certainly guess that our / your justice system has a real problem with sexism. Again though, I was never disputing this, just that using the absolute number of men and women in gaol is not a good metric to use in support of this unbalance.	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 08:31 PM
2	The new poster campaign on campus That's very true - that's a good thing to look at. Thanks for link, interesting to read	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 08:29 PM
3	The new poster campaign on campus Well, yes. I too share your exact profile in this regard, I was a young man between 12 - 19 who went to private school and also didn't break the law. Anecdotal evidence is very problematic, but I think it's unfair / not useful to imply an equation between all types of anecdotal evidence. Me witnessing the general trends in society (e.g. gang culture and its male centric nature) isn't quite as worthless as anyone saying well IM a man and I didn't commit a crime. That said it is still guilty of be…	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 08:09 PM
4	The new poster campaign on campus However, even when these tendencies are taken into account, I'd beinterested to know how one attempts to control for such an impressively complex set of confounding factors. Either way - I'm well prepared to believe that this is the case, and never disputed it - just mentioned originally that citing different numbers of each sex in gaol isn't a good statistic to base the discussion on, for the all the reasons mentioned above.	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 08:05 PM
19	The new poster campaign on campus I admit that I am entirely subject to the social and cultural ideas surrounding the probable behavior of the genders (and thus should be cautious with statements like this), I do feel like I wage a war against these preconceptions and try to bear them in mind. However that said, I witness that the dispositions of the sexes can be effectively grouped. I personally think this grouping is very socially influenced, but why they do what they do is not relevent to this particular issue. I have direct …	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 06:23 PM
24	The new poster campaign on campus Population of genders in prison is no kind of metric to assess this issue. For one it doesn't address weather or not more men than women commit crime, which be it for social or other reasons, I suspect they do. EDIT: Can't help but notice this isn't a popular statement. I apologize if I've offended, but I am a statistician by training, and was just pointing out that I felt the number of women in prison versus the number of men in prison isn't in itself a good way of supporting the argument that …	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 06:05 PM
