0	Borrowed this from 2XC. Guy bitching about the term "white knight." My question though, seriously, is how come all of these feminist dudes are kind of pudgy, doughy types. No an insult, just wondering. how come all of these feminist dudes are kind of pudgy, doughy types It's likely because these are men who have learned to appreciate feminism and gender inequality in ways that men who pride themselves in 'masculine physical characteristics' (whatever that means) tend not to have the opportunity to. For instance, a jock in highschool will likely never allow themselves to encounter homosexual students or girls who do not fit a feminine stereotype (they're both threatening to his gender role). On…	/r/MensRights	02/01/11 02:15 PM
6	Men stoned to death for adultery, murder in Iran - CNN.com (Where was the outrage of the West then?) I think that misled and disturbed people can make good points, at least some of the time. Even a broken watch is right twice a day. I appreciate your input, kloo, nonetheless. I am staunchly opposed to circumcision myself, so I would like to look into the fiasco. Ultimately, I think that we should be striving to improve the image of a movement that can be easily cast away as extremist and hateful by learning from the mistakes of the feminist movement (e.g., callous hatred, sexism, extremism, vio…	/r/MensRights	24/07/10 08:49 PM
5	Men stoned to death for adultery, murder in Iran - CNN.com (Where was the outrage of the West then?) Liverotto, having read some of your comment history, I can understand that you may have a deep trauma history behind all of the hatred and aggression you feel towards other races and women. However, I don't believe that's an excuse for the ideas that you express and feel that you're acting contrary to the goals and potential of a men's rights movement. You've expressed a desire to 'reenslave women', as well as a hope for a holocaust against feminist men. Can any other supporters of men's rights …	/r/MensRights	24/07/10 06:39 PM
5	Men stoned to death for adultery, murder in Iran - CNN.com (Where was the outrage of the West then?) And where did the media say this? I think that your paranoia and delusions about a feminist antiman conspiracy may be clouding your ability to read. What this is, and continues to be, is another instance of cruel punishments being used to deter crimes, much like the use of the death penalty in the US. This is a human rights issue for Iran; for the US, it is a gender issue in the sense that only men are issued death penalties. However, we have to see this in relation to the fact that the majority…	/r/MensRights	24/07/10 06:15 PM
1	Don’t Write Off Men Just Yet This article explores the intersection of 2 critical and timely concerns in personnel selection—applicant retesting and subgroup differences—by exploring demographic differences in retest effects across multiple assessments. Results from large samples of applicants taking 3 written tests (N = 7,031) and 5 performance tests (N = 2,060) revealed that Whites showed larger retest score improvements than Blacks or Hispanics on several of the assessments. However, the differential improvement of White…	/r/MensRights	23/07/10 12:47 PM
4	Reddit shows its disgusting side. Real or not, this is not how it should have happened. I think that this goes to show that we will refuse to believe that bad things happen to people for no good reason, no matter what their gender is. To me, this speaks more of Reddit's issues with masculinity than of a specific insensitivity towards a male victim. I wonder what that thread would have looked like on a site that is predominantly female? Very sad. More sensitive and educated male voices need to speak up for male victims and speak up for male-to-male empathy.	/r/MensRights	22/07/10 11:47 AM
-6	"false [rape] reporting has reached an epidemic level" - Orlando Police So, in other words, you recognize that this story is sensationalist hokum, but still have the gall to deny the staggeringly high sexual assault rate that has been backed by decades of research. Classy. But I appreciate that you mentioned some other very important gender discrepancies that deserve attention. Fortunately for you, rape is not considered a gender discrepancy against males yet.	/r/MensRights	19/07/10 11:47 PM
-5	"false [rape] reporting has reached an epidemic level" - Orlando Police Does anyone else know of any other unsourced, anecdotal exaggerations by police of "epidemics" concerning the issues that I deem important? For instance, what's with all the women drivers? Can the police say something baseless and unprofessional about how they're dangerous? I would upvote that, as it reinforces my preexisting beliefs about the world and makes me feel good.	/r/MensRights	19/07/10 09:01 PM
2	How big of an issue are false rape accusations and what should be done? Certainly, without question, and more. I always found it reprehensible that accused rapists were brandished on the front page of newspapers without an investigation even begun. That's society's bloodthirsty need to immediately rectify and make the world right to themselves; that has nothing to do with justice nor the victim. What I'm responding to is the attempt to erode rape shield laws. Some persons in this thread are fighting for aggressive interrogation of rape victims, which would bring soc…	/r/MensRights	18/07/10 11:50 AM
-2	How big of an issue are false rape accusations and what should be done? “It is noteworthy that the police department from which Kanin derived his data used or threatened to use the polygraph in every case… The fact that it was the standard procedure of this department provides a window on the biases of the officers who conducted the rape investigations, biases that were then echoed in Kanin’s unchallenged reporting of their findings.” More manipulation of the facts. How many times have you been interrogated about a sexual assault that took place against you, may I a…	/r/MensRights	17/07/10 10:20 PM
-6	How big of an issue are false rape accusations and what should be done? Your wife must really love you for who you are, you little lying cunt. Does she know how much you hate her?	/r/MensRights	17/07/10 10:15 PM
1	How big of an issue are false rape accusations and what should be done? First off, you've said yourself that the true rate is unknowable. Our justice system is doing its best to keep the rate as low as possible - the same is true of all other crimes prosecuted. What exactly are you proposing, though? That we stop prosecuting rape? That we make it even HARDER and more traumatic for victims to attempt to prosecute? What do you really have in mind? You have a platform against prosecution - you essentially are looking to decriminalize rape. Only a man could come up with…	/r/MensRights	17/07/10 10:13 PM
1	How big of an issue are false rape accusations and what should be done? That's essentially a repudiated study, though. Are you familiar with anything else that bears closer to general consensus among the field? Because most research indicates that the rate is 5% or less. Don't let those facts bring you down, though, Godspiral! Stick to those singular studies that reinforce your worldview! This post has a pretty in-depth discussion of that, with full citations, if you're interested: http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2009/04/15/eugene-kanins-study-of-false-rape-re…	/r/MensRights	17/07/10 06:37 PM
4	How big of an issue are false rape accusations and what should be done? Where's your source for that bullshit you shot out of your mouth? 41-60%? Maybe 60% where the women withdrew out of being publicly humiliated or threatened. You hate women; that's what this is about. Even Fox News reported that, "First, the category of 'false accusations' does not distinguish between accusers who lie and those who are honestly mistaken. Nor does it indicate that a rape did not occur, merely that the specific accused is innocent. Second, even if false accusations are as common as…	/r/MensRights	17/07/10 05:02 PM
