| 1 | Girls behaving badlyHey man, me too. We're talking about prickly issues. FWIW I don't consider you an asshole at all. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 04:19 AM |
| 1 | Girls behaving badlyEthics in general are going down the tube. So many problems, both here and in the WR threads, are along the lines of "here is a law that would not harm anyone if all people were reasonable, but since about 20% of society is composed of die-hard assholes, is likely to result in widespread discrimination and shitty behavior." | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 04:09 AM |
| 1 | Girls behaving badlyFair enough. I see your point now, and I think I originally misunderstood it as being particularly aimed at women. Couldn't agree more, but in my case I just call them all assholes and have no hope of their gaining any level of maturity or self-awareness. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 04:07 AM |
| 1 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?God damn it, no one has given me any meaningful way to help advocate for men's rights! Of course I'm frustrated! "figure it out yourself" "it's easy" "it's obvious" Clearly it isn't! The only response I've gotten is "fix yer feminits" | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 03:59 AM |
| 1 | Girls behaving badlyNo, I just believe that most of western society is based on morality lessons that come from the bible and/or that the bible contains the majority of moral code that was used to found western civilization. I'm disagreeing with your saying that someone can't be considered a woman because she behaves like an asshole. You can be both. Womanhood isn't some kind of shining moniker. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 03:58 AM |

| -2 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?OMG THANKS FOR THE TIP. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 03:39 AM |
| 5 | Girls behaving badlyWhen you talk about women and humbleness or humility you are edging a little too close to the bible. hum·ble/ˈhəmbəl/ Adjective: Having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance. Verb: Lower (someone) in dignity or importance: "I knew he had humbled himself to ask for my help". Both relate to behaving in a submissive manner. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 03:39 AM |
| 3 | Girls behaving badlyYou for sure are not the one who gets to hand out that title and dictate the rules. Also, "humble"? Really? | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 03:06 AM |
| 2 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?What about being a feminist and also openly advocating for men's DV rights? Do you view it as mutually exclusive? Personally I do not. VAWA should be rewritten as a non-gendered law and tightened so that it is not simply a "victim versus aggressor" outcome. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 02:53 AM |
| 1 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?and discovered that most of the women coming were just as violent or more violent than the men they were leaving That's not what she said. Semantics are important in these discussions and verbatim quotes are a lot more useful than paraphrasing. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 02:48 AM |

| 2 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?What about the feminists who oppose circumcision? Does that count? | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 02:30 AM |
| 2 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?Uh... Yes it is? You don't get to define feminism. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 02:29 AM |
| 1 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?I know about Erin Pizzey and you yourself are perverting the story. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 02:27 AM |
| 2 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?Do feminists hand out government money now? | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 02:26 AM |
| 1 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?That's because the "tough" questions are verging on the level of conspiracy theory and have no ground in factual history or the reality of society as it stands today. If feminists secretly control everything, why are there so few female politicians, policymakers, lobbyists, and so few female-friendly laws being passed in the USA? | /r/MensRights | 02/04/12 02:26 AM |
| 2 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?I don't really see how it is not obvious how the feminist movement would go about doing the things I said, because the things I said are not that hard. Is what you are saying that I need to say what individual feminists should do? Okay, so please elaborate? | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 08:31 PM |
| 2 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?Semantics. Regarding your arguments, they all preside on the assumption that feminists are in control of these laws. Please, show me a feminist majority in congress or show me a feminist lobbying group that is anywhere near the size of conservative lobbying groups. The issues you mention, I agree with you on. But I disagree on the cause. I think feminism's apathy (when it does occur) is more derivative of the fact that feminism approaches equality by advocating women's issues. MR approaches equa… | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 08:28 PM |
| 2 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?Yes, which is why I wrote this post. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 08:24 PM |
| 1 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?May I see the thread? | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 08:24 PM |
| 0 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?That's fine, but the DM is still not a reputable newspaper. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:52 PM |
| 2 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?MR is a relatively recent phenomenon. The basis of the agitation is that feminists feel that they haven't achieved full equality for women, and that MRA are so opposed to feminism that the two groups cannot work together. Me, personally, in this thread I have not received a single suggestion on how I can personally contribute to the MR movement. I have, on the other hand, received a list of demands that need to be met with the implication of "figure out how to help yourself." On the other hand, … | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:39 PM |
| 1 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?This is exactly what I was talking about above. You're giving me (us?) a list of things we "need to do" but you aren't providing any framework for how to achieve them. I disagree with you that feminists are the ones seeing that DV shelters for men are underfunded, I think it's a governmental lack of advocacy. You aren't showing me any way that I can help you. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:35 PM |
| 3 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?I never said that, and please do not call me dishonest when I have not been. Never once have I argued that women do not commit DV against men, and it is an issue I would be willing to advocate for if someone would provide the framework. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:29 PM |
| 2 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?What is the framework for doing that, though? The main point of feminism is to advance equality for women, and the main point of MR is to advance equality for men-- therefore each side needs to figure out a way to make it easy for the other to participate (if that makes sense?). E.g. MR wouldn't drop everything to work for women's rights because the main goal is to advance men's rights. But if a feminist (or women's rights advocate) found a way to make it easy for MRA to support them, I have to … | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:16 PM |
| 0 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?Here I am, a feminist, asking why we can't work together. (Re: your final paragraph). | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:03 PM |
| 1 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?Okay, first things first, that is the Daily Mail. You literally cannot take anything it says seriously. My grandad has been reading it for years and it is mostly made up. It's run by a conservative think tank (read the most recent profile of him in the New Yorker), so unless you have something else you can assume that article is baseless. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:00 PM |
| 1 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?I already read those. I use "I think" because in an issue as broad as this I don't think anyone can have actual authority, since everyone's opinion differs slightly. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:50 PM |
| 2 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?Did you read my post? | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:49 PM |
| 1 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?Not being condescending. And I did read those links. But I read every article on the main page and almost every comment was demonizing feminists. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:48 PM |
| 1 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?Proof? | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:47 PM |
| 3 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?If you aren't concerned with what a feminist thinks then why bother arguing about it or discussing it? In order to advance your position you need to actually open up lines of communication so that the people in opposition to you can begin to understand where you're coming from. No? | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:46 PM |
| 1 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?Actually violently can be used in a non-literal sense comparable to vehemently. No Freudian slip for you. Could you explain how equal pay discriminates against men? From your post the only conclusion I can draw is that women don't work as hard as men, and hard-working men are hurt by these women legislating equality. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:45 PM |
| 2 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?Proof? | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:42 PM |
| 1 | "Evil feminists" vs. "A man's role in society"?So I read through everything you posted here, and I still came to the same conclusion. Most of your examples are articles/opinions by "fringe" members of feminism. When you say "feminists did _____" you don't link to articles demonstrating that large groups of people successfully organized to prevent or engender an event. Instead you link to articles by individuals, or to opinion pieces. That isn't to say that you are totally wrong, but it doesn't help the argument that feminism, as opposed to s… | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:41 PM |
| 2 | Radfem calls porn "commercial rape industry"Yep. For some people it's worth the trade-off. For me, not so much. I don't like the idea of a bunch of bros ogling my boobs for a few bucks a pop. But it's a great that women can do it and that men can pay for it. Also, men may consider stripping as well. It isn't discussed enough but if you work out you could make a handsome sm. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:31 AM |
| 1 | Show of Hands poll comparison: "Would you pierce your baby daughter's ears?" versus "Infant circumcision: yay or nay?"I think overall that's true, but I'm thinking of people who have a smartphone and are savvy enough to use this app. So mostly the younger crowd, but only in this instance. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:24 AM |
| 2 | Australian feminists work towards destroying fatherhoodAs I stated above, it all depends on the assessor's ability to be impartial and rational, which unfortunately is unlikely due to the poor funding of social services. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:23 AM |
| 5 | One of the only men's domestic violence shelters in Canada faces closure because it can't get state funding. Hundreds of women's DV shelters in Canada receive state funding.Exactly. It's difficult to envision a "men are/can be victims too" campaign that wouldn't be ripped apart and made fun of relentlessly, but it needs to happen somehow. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:22 AM |
| -5 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?No... I just pointed out that I have a pretty good understanding of the majority of feminism, aka the clout. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:21 AM |
| 3 | Australian feminists work towards destroying fatherhoodThis law is not a sole custody law. It could be used to procure sole custody, but to call it a sole custody law is a subjective interpretation based on a theoretical outcome. Just because a group of people vote for a law, it doesn't make it biased. You're framing this as a conspiracy. "are deliberate social engineering policies to decimate traditional conservative voting middle class family and transfer that patriarchal wealth through the feminist controlled statutory bodies of family court & so… | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:19 AM |
| 2 | Radfem calls porn "commercial rape industry"I think both of you are being absurd, unless you are being sarcastic which unfortunately I think you aren't. My boyfriend gets plenty of affection from me and he doesn't pay for it. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 07:11 AM |
| 2 | Australian feminists work towards destroying fatherhoodI disagree that it's feminist pork. As I stated above, I think it's an ill-informed attempt to confront a huge domestic violence problem. The real question lies in the assessors (who are, moreso than the victims, the final arbiters) and their ability to be impartial and rational. Unfortunately social services are so poorly-funded that this is rarely the case. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:16 AM |
| -4 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?Because, unlike (I expect) many people on this board, I don't get my impression of feminism from radical excerpts perpetuated by MRA. My understanding of feminism is current and I think my opinions and positions are in line with the current feminist majority. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 06:14 AM |
| 1 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?What are the real problems? I am not trolling, but I would like to be aware. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:57 AM |
| 1 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?Could you provide evidence for feminists denying aid to men? | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:56 AM |
| -2 | Can we PLEASE stop with the hate-speech directed towards Women's Rights activism?Feminism, as far as I understand (just, you know, as a feminist) is about the advocacy for equal treatment under the law, as well as the attempt to change certain aspects of de facto society that lead to people being victimized. I agree with most of the issues raised on this board too. That's because the solution I seek is equal, not preferential, treatment. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:55 AM |
| 2 | Radfem calls porn "commercial rape industry"Most feminists would strongly disagree with the sentiment in the title of this thread, and many (myself included) view pornography as a profession, albeit one in which woman are at liberty to make ridiculous amounts of money for doing basic physical labor. My gender studies course actively encouraged us to consider porn, stripping, etc., as a labor job similar to construction or roadwork. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:50 AM |
| 6 | Radfem calls porn "commercial rape industry"I had a professor who I strongly disagreed with on almost everything (once to the point of having a heated argument which resulted in me storming out). She was convinced that all the girls in the class needed to be liberated, although from what I'm not quite sure. One class for some reason strip clubs came up, and she went off on a tangent about how her first trip to NYC was with a "group," and how they went to a strip club. We were all like, okay. Then she stared into space and clasped her hand… | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:46 AM |
| 1 | Girls behaving badlyJustinTime112, as a feminist (and therefore an advocate of equal rights) you are correct (at least IMO) when it comes to what will advance your cause. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:40 AM |
| 10 | Girls behaving badlyI really wish the author hadn't used "girls" throughout. It's pejorative, and unless he was referring to the men as "boys" (he didn't), it's clear bias. If you are an advocate for equal treatment, you need to use equal terminology in your argument. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:38 AM |
| -1 | Male contraceptive pill could also prevent the spread of HIV.Guys, please be careful if this hits the market. Just because you can't spread anything, doesn't mean you can't catch anything. Female to male transmission rates are generally lower but they still happen. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:33 AM |
| 13 | One of the only men's domestic violence shelters in Canada faces closure because it can't get state funding. Hundreds of women's DV shelters in Canada receive state funding.I think you need to appeal to two sides in this situation. On the one hand, yes you do have feminists who are so anti-men that they refuse to recognize the existence of male domestic violence victims. On the other hand, one of the biggest reasons that male domestic violence victims are treated with disdain/not recognized is because of the machismo-perpetuated idea that men are too strong/whatever to be attacked by weak little women. What you really need is a mass appeal to the general public, an… | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:27 AM |
| 3 | Government overreach: "The station ... must not broadcast material that demeans or is reasonably likely to demean women or girls generally, or any woman in particular."Serious question. How often is it actual feminists who are in charge of these things, versus how often it is impartial/nonfeminist/etc people who are afraid of appearing bad to feminists? It seems most of the time the politicians/governmental forces in control of these punishments are actually male. Do you think it's actual retribution or the fear of the retribution? I ask because, as a feminist, I would not have mandated this punishment. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:19 AM |
| 2 | Australian feminists work towards destroying fatherhoodThis is the actual test that the author is railing against: Thus, a father will be guilty of “family violence” not only if he physically assaults his wife or a child, but if he “torments, intimidates or harasses” them with “derogatory taunts”; if he “controls, dominates, deceives or coerces” them “unreasonably”; if he denies them money they need for “reasonable living expenses”; if he causes them “to feel threatened”; and so on. My problem with this-- isn't someone who behaves like that a shitty… | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 05:06 AM |
| 3 | Show of Hands poll comparison: "Would you pierce your baby daughter's ears?" versus "Infant circumcision: yay or nay?"Where is this poll from? I read an article a couple of years ago that stated the rate was around 60%. I doubt it's skyrocketed in the past couples of years. Also, consider that the people responding to this app are probably a few years shy of having kids. Most people's opinions radically alter once they go through the whole "having a baby, research everything" phase. For the record, I'm a female and I oppose both of these. Everyone in my peer group who strongly supports circumcision is male. Jus… | /r/MensRights | 01/04/12 04:51 AM |
