| 1 | One of my favourite W.B. Yeats quotes.Thanks man! Yeats was unequivocally messed up, but I think that's just a prerequisite to being a great poet. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/13 02:12 AM |
| -6 | Indian Supreme Court on Live In relationships:"We cannot, however, lose sight of the fact that inequities do exist in such relationships and on breaking down such relationship, the woman invariably is the sufferer,"No, but nice try. Read the article this time. | /r/MensRights | 28/11/13 09:48 PM |
| -8 | One of my favourite W.B. Yeats quotes.More often than not, sources made on those quote aggregate source cites are completely bunk. If posters want us not to be skeptical, then they should start with the source rather than some junk site with no verification. Still, anyone who thinks Yeats is a good model for relationships is nuts. | /r/MensRights | 28/11/13 04:15 PM |
| -7 | One of my favourite W.B. Yeats quotes.That is not a source, it does not say where the quote came from. I'm assuming it is in fact entirely made up and not by Yeats at all. Yeats is fairly well studied and this quote does not appear in any of the published scholarly material on him that I can find. Yeats didn't marry Maud Gonne's daughter, but he did propose to her and was rejected. That alone should tell you how messed up he was. Maud Gonne (and her daughter!) were right to stay away from that kind of crazy. | /r/MensRights | 28/11/13 02:42 PM |
| -2 | One of my favourite W.B. Yeats quotes.Source? I am skeptical that this was actually said by Yeats. Yeats is hardly a model anyhow. He unsuccessfully pursued Maud Gonne for years before reluctantly marrying another woman he used to put into trances so she could contact spirits. A strange marriage, that one. | /r/MensRights | 28/11/13 12:54 PM |
| 2 | Father's son given up for adoptionBoth points are true! In this case, the father knows about the child, so he should pursue his rights, because if his story is true than something illegal has definitely happened. Men who believe they may have fathered a child should check their state's putative fathers registry. | /r/MensRights | 27/11/13 12:28 PM |
| 1 | Father's son given up for adoptionThis is not true for the purpose of adoptions. Fathers have to give their consent, regardless of the names of the birth certificate. | /r/MensRights | 27/11/13 12:15 PM |
| 2 | Father's son given up for adoptionI don't buy this. In all states, fathers' rights have to be terminated before an adoption placement can happen. He would have to consent to this. If he did not consent, that means someone (birthmother, adoption agency) lied or broke the law. The father has rights and he needs to get a lawyer to enforce them. | /r/MensRights | 27/11/13 12:14 PM |
| -5 | TIL a sperm donor, and even a rape victim can be forced to pay child support.I wouldn't go that far, but yes, the validity of so many men's issues is undermined by a small (but loud) minority of vile, angry, and ignorant commenters. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 06:34 PM |
| 10 | TIL a sperm donor, and even a rape victim can be forced to pay child support.I am neither, but the law does indeed fascinate me :) | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 06:33 PM |
| -1 | Of course it's always about the rights of women, never about a father's right to his childNo person should have the right to restrict the other's movements. If the father wanted to move, I would believe that as well. Equality. But you're correct, there is no value in your continuing comments. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 06:30 PM |
| -1 | Of course it's always about the rights of women, never about a father's right to his childYou keep reading past my comments, either willfully or from an inability to read carefully. Custody is still being arranged, she does not now nor has she ever gotten to make a unilateral custody arrangement. You can't create custody arrangements before a child is even born. And yes, I consider the father's opinion somewhat irrelevant here, although the situation is very messy. He has no right to tell her she cannot move. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 06:05 PM |
| -24 | TIL a sperm donor, and even a rape victim can be forced to pay child support.Oh lord, you people. It's like one big conspiracy specifically designed to screw you over. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 04:56 PM |
| -1 | Of course it's always about the rights of women, never about a father's right to his childTraveling is trivial? People don't have to move for reasons of jobs, education, family? Once again, her move is not denying the father his rights. I suggest you read the article more closely. The custody arrangements are still being decided in court, but joint custody with parents in different states is a reality that has been present for decades. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 04:51 PM |
| -2 | Of course it's always about the rights of women, never about a father's right to his childThat is nowhere indicated in the article, you are completely exaggerating. She is asserting her right to freely move, which to me seems completely reasonable. The custody issues are still being decided, but it is unlikely that the father will lose all custody of his child, which means he will be guaranteed visits. My divorced parents lived in different states, so I would spend breaks and summers with my father. This is simply a reality when parents get divorced. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 04:21 PM |
| 61 | TIL a sperm donor, and even a rape victim can be forced to pay child support.I have a bit more sympathy with judges interpreting complicated issues without updated laws to guide their rulings. Just because two people draw up a contract does not mean that the contract is valid if it violates existing laws. State legislatures either need to address the problem by statute or we will all just have to deal with the messy ambiguity until a case makes its way to federal courts. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 02:57 PM |
| 153 | TIL a sperm donor, and even a rape victim can be forced to pay child support.The Pennsylvania case referenced in the article was ruled in favor of the sperm donor (http://www.nbcnews.com/id/22488113/). | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 12:57 PM |
| -2 | Of course it's always about the rights of women, never about a father's right to his childThis is hardly a good case for men's rights, although yes, we should watch it closely. It's a hard case, both sides have excellent points, and there won't ever be a right answer. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 11:08 AM |
| 2 | What sort of response does everyone else get when they identify with the MRA movement?Same here. Nobody really disputes the issues themselves, when they are presented in a reasoned manner supported by credible evidence. No need to bias people to the issues because of the MRA bad image. Heck, I don't want to associate with a good number of the commenters here either. | /r/MensRights | 25/11/13 12:53 AM |
| 2 | Got STUCK UP at walmart today by a feminist-marxist!And somehow, on the basis of this incredibly limited experience, you were able to determine she was a 'feminist-marxist'? She is a horrible woman (if you're actually telling the truth), so therefore she must be a 'feminist-marxist'? | /r/MensRights | 20/11/13 09:54 PM |
| 11 | My weekly child support payment. Kids are with me over half the time.That you see this as a fairly standard contracts demonstrates your complete and utter ignorance of law. This is not a contract in any sense of the word. Child support is court mandated, not decided through a contract between parents. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/13 05:43 PM |
| 9 | My weekly child support payment. Kids are with me over half the time.Uh, that's not how it works. Child support payments adapt to the changing circumstances of the parents. Your loophole would be laughed out of court, and then your wages docked for the rest of the money. | /r/MensRights | 19/11/13 11:42 AM |
| 6 | "Sorry, but being a mother is not the most important job in the world." - Catherine Deveny (Guardian)The deification of mothers not only delegitimises the relationship fathers, neighbours, friends, grandparents, teachers and carers have with children, it also diminishes the immense worth and value of these relationships. How do gay dads feel about this line, I wonder? Or the single dads, stepdads or granddads? No matter how devoted and hard working you are, fellas, you’ll always be second best. A million times this.

| 19 | Explanation for the animosity towards Men's Rights? Psychology experiments suggest that men who demonstrate low benevolent sexism are erroneously believed to be mysogynistic, more likely to commit DV, be less supportive of professional women, and be worse husbands and fathers.Interesting study, but studies presented in MA theses mean nothing. These are very, very junior scholars that still have a long way before they are academic professionals. MA theses are also not peer reviewed in the traditional manner in the same way a journal article would be. So take the study with a huge grain of salt, and wait until the study is published, if it ever is. | /r/MensRights | 16/11/13 11:50 PM |
| 1 | What's worse for children than a single mother household? A double mother householdUh huh, those fantasy academics in your head. Find me a peer-reviewed paper in a well-regarded academic journal that actually says this. | /r/MensRights | 05/11/13 09:14 PM |
| 1 | What's worse for children than a single mother household? A double mother householdIt is clear neither you nor the original poster have no idea how academic research works and have some axe to grind against academics for some reason. Consensus is built by the review of evidence over time by people actually qualified to review it. Is the consensus sometimes wrong? Of course, and this is true even in the hard sciences which have so-called hard evidence and tests. The nature of academic research is that it changes its positions in light of new evidence. | /r/MensRights | 05/11/13 09:13 PM |
| 1 | What's worse for children than a single mother household? A double mother householdThose positions are not the academic consensus. There have plenty of peer reviewed, scientific studies that show that these claims made by some feminists are not true. | /r/MensRights | 05/11/13 07:29 PM |
| 2 | What's worse for children than a single mother household? A double mother householdThanks for clarifying, you make some great points. I recently adopted my son and I am constantly fighting against well-meaning but ignorant adoption comments (I don't count your comment among these!). | /r/MensRights | 05/11/13 01:48 PM |
| 2 | What's worse for children than a single mother household? A double mother householdIt has nothing to do with the source being conservative. It has to do with a think tank with a vested, partisan interest funding a research study. All studies funded by partisan, biased agencies receive extra scrutiny. Regardless, the study is crap, and it would be crap whether or not a conservative think tank paid for it. Of course, I doubt you have actually read the study, based on your comments and your faulty, anti-women summary of it in the title. | /r/MensRights | 05/11/13 01:42 PM |
| 2 | What's worse for children than a single mother household? A double mother householdYou have a narrow sense of what it means to be adopted. Sure, kids adopted from foster care are sure to have worse outcomes that kids that are not, but that has nothing to do with not being biologically related. Additionally, there are plenty of kids adopted from birth, without the messed-up family histories that trouble kids adopted from foster care. And in any case, the studies don't actually say that the children of gay and lesbian parents do any worse than the kids of heterosexual parents. G… | /r/MensRights | 05/11/13 12:47 PM |
| 14 | What's worse for children than a single mother household? A double mother householdUh huh, a study by a widely discredited researcher, including by his own academic society, with results from a research project paid for by a conservative think tank. I feel inclined to believe the 99 percent of studies that indicate that lesbian households are just fine for children than the 1 percent of studies that disagree. Problems with the study, and they are numerous: http://www.newrepublic.com/blog/plank/104001/are-gay-parents-really-worse-children-how-new-study-gets-everything-wrong EDI… | /r/MensRights | 05/11/13 12:20 PM |
| 14 | Why does breast cancer receive so much attention while prostate cancer goes virtually un-noticed?I don't see this case having anything to do with society valuing women more. Women have advocated and advocated hard for breast cancer research and that work has gotten results. I see nothing wrong with women advocating for their interests in this way. If men want more funding for prostate cancer research, then they need to step up their game and start organizing and advocating for it. | /r/MensRights | 31/10/13 12:55 PM |
| 3 | All charges dismissed in OU false rape alligation.That's a good point, I was focusing on how they handled the investigation of the accused. She should perhaps be charged with a false report or obstruction of justice, or whatever the relevant crime would be. | /r/MensRights | 30/10/13 04:58 PM |
| 13 | All charges dismissed in OU false rape alligation.Nice to see the police investigation and their statements to be so reasonable, although I don't have the same expectation for the university proceedings. It always bothers me that these news stories rarely mention if the man was drunk as well. If both were drunk, then weren't both parties incapable of consenting, according to the logic of some feminist groups? Of course, if women are incapable of raping men, as some attest, then I guess the man's sobriety or lack thereof is a moot point. | /r/MensRights | 30/10/13 02:02 PM |
| 2 | God forbid we allow local schools to regulate their own students, especially when it comes to provocative bracelets. But everything is a potential SCOTUS case now.Yes, let's let government-run schools restrict the free speech of its students and not fight it through the Constitutional means given to us as citizens. Restricting speech has certainly never harmed male students. This is totally a men's rights issue. /s | /r/MensRights | 30/10/13 12:50 PM |

I have definitely noted a rise in the past several weeks of posts aggressively and polemically attacking MRAs. These posts are not made in the spirit of civil debate and should be deleted. But I favor hands-off moderation in cases of comments that toe the line between trolling and an earnestly held opinion that other people disagree with. I think concern trolling is definitely in that territory. Labeling one a 'concern troll' is often a tool… | /r/MensRights | 26/10/13 03:29 PM |

But the mod policy has been fairly hands off, in response to the excessive and frankly unreasonable mod policies on many feminism forums. If you want a free and open forum, you have to take the good with the bad. And honestly, I am hesitant to label many of these commenters as trolls than I am to take their concerns as legitimately held beliefs a… | /r/MensRights | 26/10/13 01:47 PM |

| 4 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.I agree with this. Women being barred from combat is horribly sexist and I'm glad the Marines seem to be changing both the archaic restriction as well as the tests that evaluate women. But it is a process and is not going to happen overnight, which some people here don't seem to understand. | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 11:19 AM |
| -1 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.No, it isn't lifted until 2016. Presumably, the test will be the same by then. Until then, you can't necessarily expect women to have the same test for different work. | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 11:17 AM |
| 8 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.Women have been treated unequally on the test in the past, and the Marines are trying to correct that by instituting these more rigorous standards. Even though men need more pullups than women to achieve a perfect score, the minimum requirement is the same for both. Women are still forbidden from combat roles, so one can hardly bitch about their requirements being slightly lower without advocating for their full inclusion into the Marine. I don't know how to explain it more simply for you. | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 03:36 AM |
| 17 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.A better link, since the original link is behind a paywall for me: http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/article/20121127/NEWS/211270320/USMC-changes-fitness-requirement-women I don't see that much sexism here, if any. Both men and women need to complete 3 pullups to pass that portion of the test. Men need 20 pullups to get a perfect score, women need 8. Sure, a disparity, BUT this new requirement is a transition to a more rigorous test AND women are still barred from direct ground combat. | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 02:29 AM |

Come on, this is rocket science. Women suffer far more from breast cancer than men do. It's a good thing to make sure men know than can get it, so they don't dismiss any breast lumps, but there's no problem with spending money on the group that suffers from it most, by a fairly large proportion. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/13 10:02 AM |

I am a MRA because I am gay; without a female partner, I am hyper-aware of gender stereotypes and how they hurt my family.

| 1 | Why don't more men aspire to adopt and raise a child with full custody?Do a search for agencies that specialize in open adoption, which tend to not discriminate, since the whole premise is that birthmothers choose who they will place with rather than the agency (although they are also obviously less likely to place with single men). I cannot recommend the agency we have used ourselves since they have proven to be incompetent (although not discriminatory!). | /r/MensRights | 06/09/13 06:00 PM |

Women are more affected by the cutthroat nature of academia but that's only because they more often choose to prioritize children and their husband's career over their own. Yes, women face more pressure to do more of the housework and childrearing, but nothing is forcing them to give into that pressure. W… | /r/MensRights | 19/06/13 06:57 AM |
| 3 | So there aren't many mens shelters out there... maybe there's another way?I know at least 4 men who regularly knit, and they are all younger than 35. I know more women who do it, but still. | /r/MensRights | 15/06/13 05:10 PM |
| 1 | Scientific study shows that gender roles are for the most part bullshit.So these authors you cited? They are studying women and are thus doing research in women's studies. I have studied plenty of gender studies stuff and while there is indeed a ton of overblown crap (as in most humanities/social science disciplines), there are also really intelligent, thought-provoking works as well. There is nothing inherently wrong with studying women. And in fact, most reputable research universities have changed women's studies departments into gender studies or gender and sexu… | /r/MensRights | 15/06/13 04:23 AM |
| 1 | I'm trying to create the Men's Center at my campus. What do I do?Make sure it isn't there just to complain, but start with some useful, perhaps even charitable, programs. Make it legit by making connections with a relevant academic program (Gender Studies, Law, etc.). Try to get funding to invite recognized scholars in men's issues for a panel or lecture. The center should have a clear focus with attainable goals with an actual plan to implement them. | /r/MensRights | 15/06/13 12:28 AM |
| 1 | A demeaning "Father's Day" just in time for the big dayUhh, mothers can teach children to BBQ, play football, etc., etc. Just like fathers can teach children to cook, etc. Your of idea what fathers (and mothers) do is completely narrow and arbitrary. | /r/MensRights | 15/06/13 12:23 AM |
| 1 | A demeaning "Father's Day" just in time for the big dayGay parent here, the current system covers it pretty well. Our boy will have mother's day off and work doubly hard on father's day. No big deal. EDIT: Although I'm not really opposed to a parent's day either, to be honest. | /r/MensRights | 15/06/13 12:22 AM |
| 2 | Women's studies - total joke?Most reputable universities don't have women's studies anymore, they have replaced them with the more appropriate gender studies which yes, include the study of men. There's plenty of fluff classes out there for sure, but studying gender should be an inherently useful and relevant college course. | /r/MensRights | 11/06/13 02:05 PM |
| 2 | Question: what can women do to be more supportive of the men's rights movement?I wish this chart had sources. So easy to question those numbers otherwise. | /r/MensRights | 10/06/13 08:24 PM |
| -3 | Double standard? Seattle Times runs front-page opinion article featuring male bashing. The complaint? Men don't hit on her enough so they are bad.Seriously? You're paranoid. | /r/MensRights | 08/06/13 08:38 PM |
| 1 | Oh you're gonna love this (men wearing skirts, but with a twist)Well, at least the company is being consistent. I can see many other companies back-tracking after this move: "Well, we meant only for women to wear skirts, so wear pants or get fired." Kudos to them. | /r/MensRights | 08/06/13 08:35 PM |
| 10 | Blogger mocks father-to-be's anguish over girlfriend’s abortion as "penisfeels"I think the real problem is the double standard. Women can choose whether or not to become mothers by exercising their right to an abortion. Men have no say over this decision, which I think is unfair, but really the only practical solution. However, I think there should be some recourse to men so they too have the choice to become parents or not. If a woman decides to carry the baby to term against the wishes of the father, then the man should be able to waive his rights to parenthood and not b… | /r/MensRights | 08/06/13 08:32 PM |
| 11 | Is Feminism becoming more of a Conservative ideology, while Men's Rights is more Liberal and Progressive?It really isn't a left vs. right thing. In general, politicians (normal people too, for that matter) on both sides of the aisle suck when it comes to men's rights, although usually for different reasons. | /r/MensRights | 08/06/13 08:23 PM |
| 3 | The "men can stop rape" poster is submitted to r/WTF: the comments section is full of posts defending the generalization of men as rapistsThat is a great infograph! | /r/MensRights | 08/06/13 01:50 AM |
