| – | CNN leads college rape article with woman who claims to have been raped by boyfriend of three years after breaking up who 'pressured her.'"Don't have other friends" is not the right way to look at it. An abusive person maneuvers them and their parter so that they are the center of the world. Nothing can exist without that person, and breaking up is not just breaking up, it's taking away a person's center. So lets state the obvious: If a person says "have sex with me or I'll kill myself" enough times, and self-harms when you don't, the threat becomes implicit. Any time that person asks for sex, the threat of their suicide is loomin… | /r/MensRights | 10/02/14 04:28 AM |
| – | CNN leads college rape article with woman who claims to have been raped by boyfriend of three years after breaking up who 'pressured her.'Social isolation can occur even if a person leaves the house every day. I had a friend whose girlfriend hated his friends-- all of us-- and constantly threatened breakdowns and suicide and the like unless he stayed with her. He still went to class and work and the like, but she successfully isolated him from his friends and colleagues because he believed if he didn't attend to her at all times, she would do something terrible and it would be his fault. If he did go out with people, she would cal… | /r/MensRights | 09/02/14 09:14 PM |
| 1 | If women ruled the country, would there really be peace?While your point is good, I think your method here is suspect- first of all, the sample size is too small. In a situation where there are 3 individuals being compared to 46, or 18 compared to 205, you're bound to see more partisanship and be criticized for being skewed. Also remember that congresspeople are bought and sold by special interest - a voting might be cast for political reasons, verses moral or intellectual ones. You'd do far better to analyze public opinion polls from the major outle… | /r/MensRights | 03/12/13 04:28 PM |
| 11 | A recent email: "Hi, As the workplace gender equality agency, can you tell me why there are no men on your management team?"Not disagreeing with your point, but my mom is a therapist, and bring your kid to work day with her was the worst. Because of privacy/HIPPA reasons, I had to sit in the waiting room all day while she saw patients. Nursing might have similar problems. | /r/MensRights | 27/09/13 01:41 PM |
| 12 | Man tricks pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion pill -- Comments discuss Legal Paternal Surrender and equal male reproductive rightsThe difference between poison and medicine is not consent. Can you please explain what this means? The defendant in this case allegedly gave the woman a dose of medicine that he was not authorized to prescribe, and did so with the knowledge that it would violate her bodily autonomy. How can that be construed as medicine? | /r/MensRights | 10/09/13 08:02 PM |

| 1 | So why are dad's overprotective about their daughters dating but not their sons?I do remember teenage guys, but I also remember teenage girls. Here's a little secret: they're exactly as horny as the guys, and about as worried about morals. You keep using this language for women "get cocked" and such- I don't know why you seem to think that girls are utterly passive in all relationships. Girls like sex. They like feeling good. Sex isn't something that happens to them, it's often something that they, as sexual human beings, initiate and enjoy. I'm aware of more guys who will … | /r/MensRights | 27/08/13 04:18 AM |
| 3 | So why are dad's overprotective about their daughters dating but not their sons?I'm a little put off by how you're describing things; your son can "put his penis in" a girl - well, the girl is a part of that, too. And hopefully your daughter was raised in such a way that she is strong enough and smart enough to say no and stick to it. Do you honestly think that sex is something that men do to women, and not something that two people do together? For the record: I'm a girl and my father was never overprotective with me - he and my mom just made sure I knew what my options we… | /r/MensRights | 27/08/13 03:25 AM |
| 3 | So why are dad's overprotective about their daughters dating but not their sons?I've read this over and over on Reddit and it just doesn't make any sense to me. Ignoring the existence of trans* people who might not meet the male=penis standard, lets flip it: "With my daughter, I only have to worry about one vagina. With my son, I have to worry about the possibility of a lot more." Well, it still doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? Assuming we're talking about pregnancy: Your son could potentially get five women pregnant at the same time. Your daughter will very likely onl… | /r/MensRights | 27/08/13 03:06 AM |
| 4 | I seem to be the only kid in my school to notice the ridiculous amount of sexism.Dante is a pretty traditional part of the Western canon, but you can probably make the argument if you try. Some other books to consider (and I'll even give you male protags): Pedro Paramo - the story of a man searching for his father, the birth of magical realism. Chronicle of a Death Foretold (or anything by Marquez) - Who killed Santiago Nassar, and why? Things Fall Apart the story of how society and changing expectations weigh on a Nigerian man named Okonkwo. Fictions by Borges - you will ne… | /r/MensRights | 14/08/13 03:00 AM |
| 3 | I seem to be the only kid in my school to notice the ridiculous amount of sexism.I think you've got the title of the last one wrong. A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah is the autobiographical story of a (male) child soldier in Sierra Lione. It looks like your teachers are going for a world lit kind of vibe - three of these books are about black Africans, one about Chinese-American women, one about Hatian women, and one about Jews during the Holocaust. While there are a number of female protagonists, it seems more likely that this was a side effect of trying to give you a (limit… | /r/MensRights | 14/08/13 02:36 AM |
| 5 | Nice to see some pushback against the feminists trying to take over the gaming / nerdy community"Hey sexy, looking good!" is the mildest form of catcalling imaginable. I've had men yell things about my tits, or speculate what I would be like in bed, and then call me names for ignoring them. All at the top of their voice in a public space. More than once, and so have a lot of women I know. Not to mention being barked at from a moving vehicle, which is just fucking demeaning. That is harassment, and it shouldn't happen just because I happen to go outside while having a rack. | /r/MensRights | 24/04/13 04:40 AM |
| 1 | Y'Know Because Only Women Have Ever Been Shot and Killed by a Domestic PartnerI think this might be addressing the fact that in their recent congressional testimony, the NRA asserted that women need guns to protect them from domestic violence, which is an argument that has been around for a long time. | /r/MensRights | 04/04/13 08:59 PM |

| 2 | Banning yoga pants because "boys will be boys"?I have large boobs as well, and a dress shirt is not a good idea. It is hard as hell to find one that buttons over your chest without gaping and doesn't feel like you're wearing a tent. At the point where I get one that closes over my chest, I might as well buy a dress for how long it is on me. | /r/MensRights | 15/03/13 04:13 PM |

I have been in the middle of fixing something for men who will a) take things out of my hand and condescend to me about how to do something, which they get abjectly wrong; b) not talk to me, but talk to the dude with me, even though I ask the questions; c) let me do things, but if another man enters the room, ask them if I'm doing it right.

| – | Consent form for wife for Vasectomy?If a woman couldn't get an Implanon (implanted birth control) unless her husband signed off on it, you could only imagine the type of uproar that would cause. And, rightfully so. If you look, you'll find a lot of stories of women who are asked to get their husband's consent for a tubal ligation. This one cuts both ways. | /r/MensRights | 21/12/12 04:40 AM |

| – | Why Do You Think U.S. Women Are So Miserable Now?See, there's no way I can win this, and there's been no way from the start. You came in with your mind made up that, because of something I said about not liking to be interrupted when I'm working, I was a terrible, ugly person with an attitude problem. Anything I say in response to that is going to be met with more of the same. I thought about listing all the ways that I'm a good person, but you don't care how I help others, because I said that I don't always smile, and that makes me lack perso… | /r/MensRights | 20/12/12 04:42 PM |

| 1 | What's Wrong With The Hunger Games Is What No One NoticedBecause you're the one posting the link to me? Did you not want to talk about it? I'm saying that when her father is killed and her mother sits catatonic in a chair, Katniss picks up a bow and arrow and breaks the law, on penalty of death, to get food for her mother and sister, who are literally starving. The medicine is in the arena - Peeta is dying of blood poisoning from being stabbed, and she has to face the other tributes to get it, almost dying in the process. From the article: In the actu… | /r/MensRights | 20/12/12 04:29 AM |
| – | What's Wrong With The Hunger Games Is What No One NoticedI had a response to this piece by piece, but then I closed the tab because I'm a doofus. The fact is that this writer takes a number of things out of context (Haymitch's words) and ignores the existence of the second and third books to make these points. In short: Katniss learns agency through these books. If you only look at the first one, you don't get the whole picture. (And the point about her not saving anyone is bullshit. She saves herself, her mother and her sister by taking up hunting. S… | /r/MensRights | 20/12/12 03:43 AM |
| – | Why Do You Think U.S. Women Are So Miserable Now?Have you considered that maybe they're not unhappy, they're just busy or not particularly interested in putting on a show for you? Anecdote: I am a woman who works in a male-dominated field and have an office that my coworkers pass by quite often. I have found that if I my door is open and I am looking at my computer with my resting face, people will assume I am angry or upset. Honestly, I'm usually not unhappy. I'm working or concentrating.

| 3 | What's Wrong With The Hunger Games Is What No One NoticedIt's in the books, and about 1000x more gruesome as she steals the bow and arrow and hallucinates the other kid melting under her hands. | /r/MensRights | 19/12/12 07:15 PM |
| 3 | What's Wrong With The Hunger Games Is What No One NoticedI think the story is, among other things, about Katniss learning how to be a person who makes decisions. She changes from someone who is working to survive (in the district, the first arena) to someone who wants things and works for them (demanding to be sent to battles, fighting when her handlers don't want her to, finally choosing between Peeta and Gale). Saying that the first book doesn't show her as a character with agency is kinda like saying that there isn't enough Sauron in The Fellowship… | /r/MensRights | 19/12/12 07:14 PM |
| – | What's Wrong With The Hunger Games Is What No One NoticedYeah, it's bullshit. Spoilers: In book two she kills Gloss, another victor, in the second arena. In book three, in addition to becoming a straight-up warrior (shooting down hovercraft and shit) she kills several peacekeepers, a civilian who has the bad luck of being in a place Katniss wants to be, and Coin. | /r/MensRights | 19/12/12 04:23 PM |
| – | Why is birth control being compared with viagra?Just speaking to some of the claims you made: Birth control can be prescribed to almost all women whereas Viagra is only precribed to men with erectile dysfunction. Yes and no. Hormonal birth control is not one thing. There are different kinds, and different chemical mixes. A person's internal chemistry is unique to a certain extent, so not every woman can take the same birth control. Not to mention, they're not all pills. Birth control can be used to prevent ovarian cysts witch are benign 95 pe… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 09:29 PM |

| 2 | The Patriarchy. What?I think talking about clothes is talking about clothes, but here: The Guardian puts Sarah Palin's clothes under "world news." A story in The Blaze, filed under "Politics" decides which political party has [more feminine women].(http://www.theblaze.com/stories/study-finds-republican-women-look-more-feminine-than-democrats/). I can keep pulling more up, but the fact is that this dialogue exists, and it's not healthy for the people it effects. | /r/MensRights | 04/12/12 10:36 PM |
| – | The Patriarchy. What?Women-centric publications like the Drudge Report, official State Department Briefings, and The Daily Fail? I agree that it can be pertinent, but when the big scandal around Sarah Palin was not the fact that she was woefully unqualified but how much the RNC spent of her wardrobe, something is wrong with the discourse. | /r/MensRights | 04/12/12 03:38 AM |
| 1 | The Patriarchy. What?I'm talking about social conditioning that runs through your life. When you grow up seeing something over and over (men in charge) you tend to internalize it. I'm also talking about the studies I linked where women are less likely to be approached by people who want them to run, and will raise more money. Societal encouragement. I think it's damn hard to do something that goes against societal norms. If people can do it, I certainly want them in charge of more things (this goes for men who are t… | /r/MensRights | 04/12/12 03:24 AM |
| – | The Patriarchy. What?I don't think I'm advocating entitlement because I don't believe I said women should win every race they're in. In fact, I think they should lose often, and well. I think there need to be more women trying to gain public office, so that younger girls will want to be like them, and I think they should show those girls the truth - there is victory, and there is defeat, and defeat is much more likely.

| – | The Patriarchy. What?A quick Google search, ("Do women vote for women?") which is by no means exhaustive, suggested that when it got down to the electorate, there was no gender bias. However, I'm skeptical of that result (and any result about how people vote) because it relies on self-reporting, and people may or may not tell you what they think they should. So I have no idea how the demographics of the electorate shake out in real life, feel free to share your opinion. Yes, there was a lot of talk about perceptions… | /r/MensRights | 04/12/12 12:23 AM |
| – | The Patriarchy. What?There's a really interesting report that shows, among other things, that women are less likely to be endorsed by the major political parties or to consider themselves qualified. [Source] (http://www.american.edu/spa/wpi/upload/2012-Men-Rule-Report-web.pdf) Yes, they're allowed to run for office, but the lack of support and the rampant self doubt (because they perceive themselves as less likely to win, because they see fewer women in the political arena) make it difficult to succeed.

And we need to find out why." Now, I understand that men are dying at an inordinate rate as compared to women, and I agree that it's a problem. But then there are cases like Chavis Carter who, medical examiners say, managed to shoot himself in the head while handcuffed in the back of a police car. And he's not alone.

| 8 | In a variation of Milgram's obedience experiment, subjects were told to give increasingly large electric shocks to a live puppy. 20 out of the 26 participants complied to the end. The six that had refused to comply were all male (54% of males were obedient); all 13 of the women obeyed to the endDo you think the propensity to continue had to do with who was administering the test and how they did it? Kilham and Mann found that men were less likely to disobey than women, which wasn't quite what Milgram had found - bringing up the question of why. The source above mentions three possibilities, including who is asking people to perform the tasks.

When I talk about objectification, I'm talking about being 14, walking down the street, and having men holler out their windows at me. And it wasn't just "you're pretty" or things like that. It was gross, specifically sexual innuendo about me wrapping my legs around them, or the contents of my shirt.

A lot of girls at that age fight with their mothers viciously, and if my parents had divorced when I was 16 or so, I would have begged to stay with my father.
