1	We need to “teach men not to rape” 1) Implies only men rape (or 90%+). 2) Implies the default state of men is “do rape” until told not to. ~Schala If you think 'teach men not to rape' implies 'all men are rapists, but won't be if we put up a poster that tells them to stop', you're dramatically misunderstanding the arguments everyone else is making. For example, The small percentage of women who end up raping people don't do it because they are unaware that it's wrong. Absolutely! But they don't do it either solely because of some inborn urge. Societal factors play some sort of part, whether to create this urge, normalize it, etc. Therefore…	/r/MensRights	23/05/13 07:57 PM
1	We need to “teach men not to rape” 1) Implies only men rape (or 90%+). 2) Implies the default state of men is “do rape” until told not to. ~Schala Teaching men not to rape treats violent sexual assault as a behavior exclusive to men. Nope, as long as you teach women not to rape as well. Glad to see we're essentially on the same page though.	/r/MensRights	23/05/13 05:51 PM
1	We need to “teach men not to rape” 1) Implies only men rape (or 90%+). 2) Implies the default state of men is “do rape” until told not to. ~Schala I wouldn't consider a supposed 'external locus of control' to be a societal factor. Additionally, 'teaching not to rape' wouldn't normalize rape as innate to men if women were both taught not to rape and included as such in the messaging. It would make rapists of both genders abnormal rather than simply giving into supposed innate urges.	/r/MensRights	23/05/13 05:41 PM
1	We need to “teach men not to rape” 1) Implies only men rape (or 90%+). 2) Implies the default state of men is “do rape” until told not to. ~Schala It isn't learned only by being raped and abused. There are certainly societal factors, whatever they may be, that additionaly normalize victimizing behavior. The only way to help people who are repeating their abuse by victimizing others is therapy. Not ridiculous posters that assume men just need to be told not to rape. This is completely true. 100%. And that's without going into the overly negative messaging consequences created by too-simple slogans, posters, and the like. However, I would co…	/r/MensRights	23/05/13 05:30 PM
1	We need to “teach men not to rape” 1) Implies only men rape (or 90%+). 2) Implies the default state of men is “do rape” until told not to. ~Schala Why would a male-led society teach men to rape? No idea, but they think it does. I guess a male led society might teach men that their impulses can override other people's consent, is that their logic? There's a lot I agree with in that oft-posted genderratic piece, shaming men in particular is the worst possible outcome (making rape a 'normal' male behaviour is the horrifying consequence). It also goes without saying that having been victimized is a strong indicator of becoming a victim. Howeve…	/r/MensRights	23/05/13 05:20 PM

1	We need to “teach men not to rape” 1) Implies only men rape (or 90%+). 2) Implies the default state of men is “do rape” until told not to. ~Schala It's also faulty logic to imply that teaching men not to rape implies it is inherent. This is made doubly true by the fact that feminists, faultily, talk about patriarchal societies that socialize men to rape - clearly, not even the feminists believe rape is an inborn behavior in men! Therefore, teaching men not to rape, when done in a system that treats rape as a socialized behaviour rather than inborn (as it should be treated), is pro-male and anti-essentialist. Conversely, given the reality t…	/r/MensRights	23/05/13 04:57 PM

There is not a "default state" of men presumed by "teaching men not to rape". "Teaching men not to rape" implies that rape is a learned behaviour and so can be unlearned. It is an egalitarian, non-essentialist position when paired with "teach women not to rape, as well".

0	Showed up on my FB wall, is it appropriate to compliment random people? and if the appearance is sexually provocative the message is "I want attention". That's where you go wrong - this isn't always the case. Most people don't believe that 'sexually provocative' clothing logically leads to this. You can't expect society to conform to your personal standards just because you feel entitled to dress however you please. Right. And you can't impose your personal standard of meaning onto everyone's clothes. Sorry.	/r/MensRights	03/05/13 04:18 AM

1	Yayyy patriarchy? Really? An excellent point. However, that doesn't change that feminists would blame negative outcomes for both men and women on a 'patriarchy' that doesn't stem wholly from the actions of men.

1	washington state bans gender-specific words It certainly doesn't make things more unequal, so at worst we're even. In my opinion, it implies that men can be equal to women in a professional setting, which is a major step forward for how men can feel about themselves. Additionally, it's my belief that in areas such as schools and in counseling we need significantly more gender neutrality - I interpret this as a move towards that.	/r/MensRights	24/04/13 05:17 PM

Does this subreddit think that the maternal h I mean, yeah. That's one way to take it. I do believe my feelings are valid. Women aren't the only people whose feelings must be respected - men like myself as well. But yes, I do feel that if a gender is socialized to be overly dominant and to seek a particular kind of high achievement, it explains the other gender's lack of high achievement to some degree. I hope you don't dispute this. I feel socializing young boys in a more egalitarian manner is a completely reasonable response. I don't feel…	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 10:09 PM

1	Have you considered the dominance enjoyed by males across Western society throughout history? Why is it that men disproportionately achieve higher status? Does this subreddit think that the maternal h It is daft. I stand by it though. I do believe it is possible to socialize a gender too much towards achievement or dominance, creating unfair and harmful inequalities. I feel like your argument leans too much on 'less achievement' being inherently bad - which it essentially is due to my phrasing - but when phrased as 'less dominant' or 'different kinds of achievement', I feel it makes more sense.	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 09:57 PM
2	My school did something that made me proud of it last week. That sounds great. My school at one point offered an issues in masculinity course, but it was only open to 4th year Sociology majors (and so I, among presumably many other people who were interested, couldn't take it). We need to lower our standards and become more inclusive. Classes such as this need to be available to more. Personally, I'd also like to see motherhood discussed in the class. Fuck gender segregation.	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 09:54 PM
-1	Barbara Kay: Feminist dogma values rocket science over happy home I'm not trying to be post-modern. You're saying 'normal' families as being 'the average'. Perhaps the 'most common' family structure. However, I live in the real world, unlike you - you use theories, I look at results. You've used the label 'normal', I look at how that label actually affects real people.	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 09:44 PM
1	Have you considered the dominance enjoyed by males across Western society throughout history? Why is it that men disproportionately achieve higher status? Does this subreddit think that the maternal h It makes a lot of sense, really. It's a stock feminist example (and seems a little slight in this context), but we've all seen the difference between the toys aimed at young boys (aimed at construction, science, creative building, etc) and at young girls (homemaking, perhaps arts). It certainly seems one gender is socialized for high achievement and one for less achievement. If you socialize one group towards less achievement, another group will achieve more. Total 'achievement' remains the same…	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 09:40 PM

0	Barbara Kay: Feminist dogma values rocket science over happy home I think that in our current society leading with a woman scientist's cooking has a far more dismissive tone than leading with a man's. And if you want to believe 'normal family' has any real meaning, feel free, but I live in the real world. I realize you're likely meaning the two-parent, nuclear, heterosexual family - which of course is a valid family situation. But it's never been always the only structure, and even families who ostensibly fall under that category may deviate. I also realize th…	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 09:28 PM
2	“19% of prime time television characters are non-human while only 17% are women” -There are more “non-humans” on TV than women. Talk about unequal gender representation in the media. Just because it's 'failure' rather than hate or suffering doesn't mean it's not a valid problem.	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 05:37 PM
0	Barbara Kay: Feminist dogma values rocket science over happy home Not true. Here's why. a) There's no such thing as a 'normal' family already. It's an ideal that has never existed in a static state. To say that they won't be satisfied until it doesn't exist is simply comical. I won't be satisfied until wizards don't exist. b) Many feminists absolutely fetishize motherhood, and many are by no means anti-wife either. They just want this distinguished professional to be described in similar ways to a male in her position. That's an argument I fully agree with. c)…	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 05:33 PM

But as I see it, biological determinists take it too far, decide boys and girls should be raised and socialized in dramatically different ways, and then have no idea how to handle this.	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 05:29 PM

2	Have you considered the dominance enjoyed by males across Western society throughout history? Why is it that men disproportionately achieve higher status? Does this subreddit think that the maternal h I don't know. Perhaps men are socialized to over-achieve? I feel the 'old boy's club'/societal prejudice thing is relevant, but is certainly lessening. They almost certainly have drive and ambition.	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 05:17 PM
1	Have you considered the dominance enjoyed by males across Western society throughout history? Why is it that men disproportionately achieve higher status? Does this subreddit think that the maternal h I don't value diversity as an end in itself and I don't think the added perspective of more women at the top is inherently valuable (I believe in gender equality - men could add that perspective). I value women. It's clear they're equal to men. It's clear that being at the top is valuable, and that for some reason women who could and should reach that point aren't getting there.	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 05:13 PM

Does this subreddit think that the maternal h I basically agree with you. I don't care about history but it's pretty clear that the majority of high-status people are male. We need to change that.	/r/MensRights	02/04/13 05:09 PM

They look at a group like this and think "I want this too". I'm not sure where I stand on that. It might seem like "oh no, these straight white cis men want everything, even women's spaces and whatnot", but that's almost too simple. They just want the same. I think at the core, these people are good people who just want the same for themselves.	/r/MensRights	30/03/13 05:04 PM

3	An Open Letter to the r/MensRights Community from a "Radical" Feminist (please read, not a "wow you guys are awful and bad!!!) I think legal equality would be largely pointless without the dismantlement of gender. It's possible, but I can't really see what good it would do. For a more 'men's right-y' example, when determining custody, child support, parental rights, the like, a legal recognition of equality would be helpful - but if judges and others don't believe it, that is recognise men as equal parents - it won't mean nearly as much. To believe it would be to break down gender roles in that area.	/r/MensRights	29/07/12 04:01 AM
