| 1 | Im speechlessThese are better yeah. I'm happy to accept that women attempt suicide more often based off this data, although not to the degree that was stated in the first source - it appears to be ~1.5x as likely, not 2-3x. | /r/MensRights | 09/08/19 09:06 AM |
| 3 | Im speechlessWomen are three times more likely to make an unsuccessful attempt than a man, yet will attempt suicide two to three times more often. I don't believe this statement is accurate. The abstract of the source that is linked to this statement reads as follows: BACKGROUND: Overall gender ratios are often quoted in studies of deliberate self-harm (DSH) patients, almost always with higher rates in females than males. Reporting a ratio across all ages may conceal important variations in the gender ratio … | /r/MensRights | 08/08/19 09:52 PM |
| 6 | Pamela Anderson wants to advocate for men who are falsely accused of rapeNot OP but I think I've found the site that they're originally found these stats on and the vast majority of them are cited in the article itself, and the primary sources can then easily be found by googling the name of the source as laid out in the article. https://thefatherlessgeneration.wordpress.com/statistics/ | /r/MensRights | 20/10/18 10:46 AM |
| 20 | Literally Hitler...I grudgingly agree with most of the above comments in this chain, but I also have to ask (and this is open to anyone) - what exactly can be done about it? I believe that the majority of those that identify first and foremost as MRAs, rather than first and foremost as antifeminists (which is probably the identity that covers most of the '70%' you mentioned), these people want the ability to criticise feminism when actions by feminists are literally infringing on men's rights and the activism of M… | /r/MensRights | 13/11/17 06:39 PM |
| 10 | 'If you were a man, you'd be going to jail,' judge tells woman burglar'This' as in 'people getting joke sentences for burglary' was how I read it, and OP seems to confirm that this is what they meant in a comment response to you. You'd probably have better results in future asking for clarification from the user if a comment is ambiguous rather than being needlessly hostile. | /r/MensRights | 23/08/17 08:02 PM |
| 10 | 'If you were a man, you'd be going to jail,' judge tells woman burglarThis is the reason to confront any intruder in your home with deadly force. They said any intruder - man or woman, it doesn't matter. How are you interpreting that as 'woman hating'? If anything it's egalitarian to act the same way regardless of the gender of the intruder. | /r/MensRights | 23/08/17 07:31 PM |

| 2 | Why can't a guy also falsely accuse a woman?I wish this was the top comment to be honest, because it's the most concise and simple one that completely demolishes OP's assertions. If there are indeed men out there who are making deliberate false rape accusations against women, why have I seen literally zero news stories about any of these cases, yet there are several high profile cases (UVA, Sulkowitz, 'Jackie') involving female false accusers, in addition to many more lower profile cases that a bit of digging on Google will uncover. And n… | /r/MensRights | 26/07/17 07:06 AM |
| 9 | Why can't a guy also falsely accuse a woman?I'm talking about stories in which the police laugh at the victim reporting the crime, as that was the context of your comment that I responded to. I'm not talking about false accusations, just the treatment of victims by the police in this specific comment chain. I don't really think you answered my last question so I'll frame it differently: if a woman shared a story like one of the ones I linked above, would you automatically assume that the story is false as you have done with my stories?

| 6 | Why can't a guy also falsely accuse a woman?I don't know what your point is or what it is you're asking for. You seem happy to dismiss all of these stories as false, so I don't know what I can show you to make you reconsider. Do you dismiss stories with female victims in the same way? Or are you just playing devil's advocate here? | /r/MensRights | 25/07/17 01:17 PM |
| 7 | Why can't a guy also falsely accuse a woman?I assume good faith in cases where all I have to go on is a story from their POV, with no charges being pressed and therefore no trial. There is little/no consequence of me taking them at their word, so I have no problem in doing so. In the context of trial cases, I am more skeptical and therefore require more proof, as the consequences are much more severe than believing a fake story on the internet. This goes for male and female accusers: I will concede that some MRAs are inconsistent in apply… | /r/MensRights | 25/07/17 12:58 PM |

I don't doubt that there are women who have had similar experiences - the police aren't and will never be perfect. But what I do contest is how often this dismissive attitude is shown towards each sex. I mean, in each linked case, the police have literally laughed at the victim, which is disgusting behavior even if there is not enough proof to press charges.

| 3 | Mom opens son’s diaper and finds surprise genital mutilation (circumcision)unlawful sexual intercourse or any other sexual penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth of another person, with or without force, by a sex organ, other body part, or foreign object, without the consent of the victim I'm not sure if I agree with OP or not, but your comparison is flawed as the recipients of gyno exams consent to the procedure. If the recipient did not consent, it presumably would be considered rape. | /r/MensRights | 30/06/17 10:25 AM |
| 21 | Mom opens son’s diaper and finds surprise genital mutilation (circumcision)Some thoughts and speculation on this specific case: The mother was said to have contacted social services before the police. Was any action taken by social services? How can circumcision without even then consent of the parent/s not be viewed by the police as a criminal matter when it was first reported? Given that the grandparents (who are among those arrested, thankfully) are both in their 40s, I'm wondering if they falsely claimed to be the child's parents in order to get the doctor to perfo… | /r/MensRights | 30/06/17 08:10 AM |
| 1 | Why is it ok for women to say uncircumcised penises are disgusting and to applaud mothers for having thier children circumcisedI find your position absurd in that you seem to think that mutilating male babies under the pretense of preventing an ailment that is responsible for 360 deaths a year is fine, but you draw the line at removing breast tissue from girls to prevent an ailment that is responsible for over 40,000 deaths a year, on the basis that one is just 'part' of something, while the other one is 'the whole thing'. It seems bizarre for you to ignore the fact that breast cancer kills over 100x as many per year, y… | /r/MensRights | 21/06/17 05:16 PM |

| 18 | Why is it ok for women to say uncircumcised penises are disgusting and to applaud mothers for having thier children circumcisedCircumcision of men allows for better hygiene because the head is easier to clean. Only 'easier' in that you don't have to roll back the skin to clean, something that is painless and takes almost no time at all. This is the most minor of 'benefits'. Less chance of contracting STDs. Like HIV? Studies on FGM show similar findings. Regardless, if somebody wants to get circumcised to reduce STI transmission, they can do so when they are old enough to consent to the procedure, and not have it forced … | /r/MensRights | 20/06/17 04:11 PM |

This legitimizes them by framing their religion in the language of peace. Start referring to them as organized Germanophobes, WW1 apologists and proponents of violence against Aryans.

I'm fairly sure that a man who is found guilty of rape will be on the hook for child support (presumably once they're out of prison as male perps tend to actually get jail sentences for rape), but a quick Google search proved fruitless as all the results were articles and discussions about male rape victims being forced to pay ch… | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 11:05 AM |

| 2 | Women's shelters team up to shut down the first men's health programIf you're interpreting every part of this literally, then no. If you're using the fairer interpretation of "many men kill themselves due to the consequences of divorce being heavily weighted against them on average", then yes: http://jech.bmj.com/content/57/12/993.full.pdf+html Divorce is a much, MUCH bigger risk factor in suicides for men than for women. Whether post-divorce men make up a majority demographic of male suicides, I'm not sure, but they're clearly an extremely high-risk group. | /r/MensRights | 04/01/17 04:10 PM |

While I don't think that kids being involved is the ultimate factor in these absolute miscarriages of justice, I swear that every single time a mother is convicted of a crime, the judge always parrots the "but what about the kids" line pretty much every time.

| 1 | Wow...just wowWe obviously fundamentally disagree on this, that's fine. I think the fact that the male abuse line talks about men as perpetrators for the most part, and has one line at the end mentioning services for male victims, while the female line is 100% regarding women as victims and has no section regarding women as perpetrators, is biased.

Next, your figures basically tally up the genders of each victim's abusive parent/s, including situations where both parents were abusive, which is why the sum of your percentages is over 100%, since each of these cases adds two perps to the total for a single victim.

| 1 | Child Abuse - Who Are the Perpetrators?Glad to hear you agree with my main point. Some MRAs undoubtedly claim this. I personally disagree, but it's difficult to know who is 'correct' as the relationship between % of time spent with child (mother vs father) and the chance of any instance of abuse occurring won't be directly proportional. For example, let's say a couple divorces before their child is born and the father is only given access once per fortnight, for one evening, let's say for 3 hours.

| 1 | Child Abuse - Who Are the Perpetrators?This is a good question. I personally don't believe that either men or women are 'more abusive' as a gender, and that women having a higher proportion of time spent with their children compared to men will push the statistic slightly towards them. With 50:50 time spent with children I think that the abuse by gender would be roughly 50:50 as well. My main contention is the notion that men/fathers are generally seen as more likely to be abusive than women/mothers. The statistics clearly do not ind… | /r/MensRights | 22/06/16 08:07 AM |
