26	The man was handcuffed and taken to jail, and the woman was given a citation.. Public sex in a mall Yes, I am sure the man who decided it was a good idea to have sex at 3:30pm in front of a prom shop was probably innocent of all previous charges. I don't disagree that there are way to many people incarcerated in the US who don't belong in jail but I think it's safe to say this guy is not one of them. What happened here doesn't seem to have anything to do with men's rights at all unless you think men should have the right to break the law while on probation and suffer no more consequences than …	/r/MensRights	22/02/15 11:14 PM
6	48% of Sexual Assault perps are female, and females are more likely than males to perpetrate gang SA The actual results of the study are a hell of a lot more complicated than either the article or the title of Op's post make them out to be. They still indicate higher levels of sexual violence being committed by girls/women than generally expected but the pattern of results isn't as simplistic as girls and boys both engaging in equal levels of sexual violence. http://archpedi.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1748355 "Results Nearly 1 in 10 youths (9%) reported some type of sexual violence …	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 12:25 AM
2	Improved Graph: Where we donate vs. What kills us Yeah but heart disease is often caused by preventable, bad health habits. One could argue that the best way to prevent heart disease is not by pumping money into research, like we do with cancers, but instead by encouraging healthier habits amongst the population. The research required to cure cancers is probably a lot more expensive than the awareness campaigns needed to prevent heart disease. You're kinda comparing apples to oranges.	/r/MensRights	28/08/14 04:56 PM
0	Feminists gushing over 'feminist father' shirt So basically you can't actually justify any of the claims you just made about this girl and would rather just not have your preconceived, sexist notions challenged. As I understood it, being for men's rights does not mean hating and stereotyping women and if you think it does then I suggest you go back to /r/TheRedPill.	/r/MensRights	20/06/14 06:22 PM
1	Feminists gushing over 'feminist father' shirt You get all that from the fact that she just happens to post topless pictures of herself? Please explain to me how exactly posting pictures of her boobs makes her a hypocrite. Also where does she say she has a problem with ugly people looking at her pictures? I did not see evidence of that anywhere. I think you might be projecting some of your own issues here just a tad.	/r/MensRights	20/06/14 05:27 PM

Most of the people on this subreddit are also completely unaware of the vaginal tearing (tearing from the vagina and down towards the anus) that often occurs during childbirth. These tears can sometimes take weeks or even months to fully heal and are quite painful making walking around a bit of a chore. Sometimes really bad ones will even result anal incontinence. But you know, it's easier to just assume this sign is misandry.	/r/MensRights	07/05/14 04:43 AM
1	Saw this in my feed, made me smile that more of my circle is starting to open their minds about these issues Ok I need to know where you stand on this image before we continue. Do you agree or disagree with the message? I actually do think this comic has a lot to do with the rights of men and very little to do with feminism but, before I explain why I think this, it would be helpful if I understood your stance.	/r/MensRights	06/05/14 02:50 AM
2	Saw this in my feed, made me smile that more of my circle is starting to open their minds about these issues So I'm guessing this isn't how you actually feel but it sounds like you're saying that because you think feminists would have done this you think it's OK to get angry at them for this even though they had nothing to do with this? I'm not sure what your feelings are towards this comic but my original response was directed at /u/Eryemil who was pretty clearly trying to insult feminists in their comment.

9	Saw this in my feed, made me smile that more of my circle is starting to open their minds about these issues It amazes me that you were somehow able to bring feminism into this even though every single character in the comic is male (except the babies who are genderless) and the message of the comic is "don't discriminate against men."	/r/MensRights	05/05/14 06:47 AM
0	When feminists say "male privilege," I think they may have forgotten about this. In that case both the hitman and the woman who hired him would be considered murderers. I'm not sure what you're getting at here though,just because you have one case where a woman hired a hitman does not mean it's systemic.	/r/MensRights	03/05/14 12:32 AM
-1	When feminists say "male privilege," I think they may have forgotten about this. The point I was trying to make with the 90% statistic is that is it wrong to assume that just because more men are victims of homicides they must not be privileged. The reality of the situation is vastly more complicated. For instance, while it is true that more men are victims in homicides, a breakdown of the different types of homicide shows that the vast majority of male homicides are drug or gang related. Women actually outweigh men as victims in domestic and sex-related homicides. What this…	/r/MensRights	02/05/14 06:36 AM
-1	When feminists say "male privilege," I think they may have forgotten about this. I think you might have misunderstood what I am trying to say. I do not think military men are disposable, I actually think it's terrible that anyone has to lay down their life for their country in this day and age. I just don't think the number of men who die in the military is large enough to be a statistically relevant fact in a case where someone is trying to disprove the idea of male privilege. Male privilege as a concept suggests that men have it easier overall. Pointing out that more men d…	/r/MensRights	02/05/14 06:09 AM
0	When feminists say "male privilege," I think they may have forgotten about this. Yeah but we're talking about making a case for male privilege not being a thing in America. Something that only effects a very small portion of American men does not actually build a strong case against the concept of male privilege. I totally acknowledge the fact that it sucks for those men and their families, my point is that it's not something that drastically effects American men as a whole.	/r/MensRights	02/05/14 12:55 AM
-1	When feminists say "male privilege," I think they may have forgotten about this. Let's not forget, 90% of homicides are also committed by men and differences in number of suicides are not due to overall attempts but rather to method used. Overall women actually attempt suicide twice as often as men. The army statistic isn't really a fair one to use if you're trying to make a point about male privilege being a myth. While it's true that 97% of military deaths are men this is still only 6616 deaths in the US over the last 13 years. While that is 6616 too many, it's not exactly…	/r/MensRights	02/05/14 12:30 AM
1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. I would agree that both sexes are entitled to discuss everything including reproductive rights. Please do not think that my opinion is about silencing men. For me, this is about women's health issues being discussed primarily by men. This is about giving women a voice on an issue that primarily effects them. It's basically based on the idea that people should be trusted to know what's best for themselves. Men can't get pregnant and so they shouldn't presume that they know what the best policies …	/r/MensRights	01/03/14 08:21 PM
1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Ok I mean I personally disagree with you about the popular opinion on bodily autonomy because I think most people are actually pro-bodily autonomy (especially their own) but I can see what you're getting at. That said it still doesn't explain why you have a problem with this particular t-shirt which is about a specific issue of bodily autonomy. I mean I think it's a pretty lame t-shirt but I don't have a problem with the message it's sending.	/r/MensRights	01/03/14 08:04 PM
1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Notice that I never said anything about forcing a 50/50 split. I was very careful to suggest an evenish split for precisely the reason that I do not want to force people to vote one way or the other. I'm not suggesting a method of fixing this problem because I honestly don't know what the best way to fix it is. That doesn't mean there is no problem though. I can acknowledge the fact that there is a problem with having a group of mostly men making policy decisions regarding women's health without…	/r/MensRights	01/03/14 07:58 PM
1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Men and women are equal in that they deserve equal rights but the issues that effect men and women aren't always equal. This is just an unfortunate fact of biology. Men can't get pregnant so having a bunch of men making women's health decisions is really not cool. I'd feel the same way if bunches of women started making decisions regarding men's health without asking for any men's opinions too. We do have some inherent biological differences health wise between the genders. If I could change tha…	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 09:04 PM

1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Rereading what you've written makes me feel like for the most part we will probably agree for a large portion of the abortion debate. Where I disagree with you (unless I'm reading you wrong) is when we get to the issue of fetal viability. The issue gets really messy here because if we're talking about healthy viable fetuses then morally speaking I think they shouldn't be aborted once they've reached a certain point of development. What that point should be is a difficult question to answer given…	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 08:44 PM

1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Well I was trying to be nice but you've jumped the niceness train. If you're going to start calling women names then I'm afraid we can't have this discussion. I'm asking you to avoid this for my sake because I will start getting pissed off and I don't particularly want to derail this conversation. I'm enjoying this discussion and don't want it to turn into a yelling match. I like getting alternative perspectives on these kinds of issues because sometimes I end up learning something new. I'm only…	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 05:58 PM
1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Well how do we change popular opinion if not by voicing our views? What I'm trying to say is that this might not be the current situation but it is the situation we should strive for (in my personal opinion). That's the point this t-shirt is trying to make in regards to a specific issue.	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 05:42 PM
1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Ok so from the perspective of the abortion debate we are not going to agree but I don't really want to derail into a big conversation about it. I do want to say that I appreciate the fact that you at least seem to have put some thought into your stance on abortion. Nothing annoys me more than people who take a stance on the issue without actually looking into it. Politicians might not be representative of the population but women make up more than 50% of the population. They aren't a minority gr…	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 05:34 PM
1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Except that the messages being sent by these two t-shirts are very different. The woman's t-shirt is about taking a stance on bodily autonomy (specifically it's probably a pro-choice t-shirt about abortion). I think a lot of people on this sub are reading it wrong, they think the message is identical to the one in the second t-shirt. The second one is making a statement about male dominance (I have a penis so I get to make the rules). It's a joke, but it's a bad joke.	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 05:19 PM
1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. So if you feel that elected representatives don't actually represent anyone in the US, that there is only the illusion a of choice, then you must understand that those groups composed of mainly men weren't really representative of what women would want. If there are two choices and most are men you can't act surprised by women electing mostly men.	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 05:11 PM
-1	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Little hint about abortion, it usually happens long before anything I'd call a body exists. Also, I don't think you understand pregnancy much if you think it works like inception. I'm just picturing babies inside babies inside babies...and then it's turtles all the way down.	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 08:49 AM

The thing is I have no problem with anti-choice women or men (from either side of the debate) wanting to have a word in on the debate but this slogan was designed to address a different issue. That issue being that groups consisting mainly of men have been in charge of deciding abortion law. It wouldn't be very democratic of me to ban the opposition from the debate and in theory I would hope that I would hold true to this belief regardless of whether or not it would help my side win.

I do agree with you in principle, people who can't get pregnant shouldn't really presume that they can make decisions for those who can. It's just that this particular sentiment (no uterus no opinion) came about because of that whole deal with abortion policy being discussed by a room full of men. That's not to say that I think men shouldn't discuss abortion policy, I just can see the issue with men discussing abortion policy without considering wo…	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 06:30 AM
0	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. What about it? The t-shirt is simply about criticizing the specific issue of having a group consisting mainly of men making decisions about women's health issues (the group of men here consists of the law makers in the American government). The "No uterus, No opinion" statement is meant as a catchphrase, not a sophisticated argument that accounts for every single possibility.	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 06:13 AM
2	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. Just because these things happen(ed) doesn't mean it should happen. The T-shirt isn't about saying what is always the case, it's about saying what should be the case. I think you'll find that if you actually ask people "do you think you should have the right to decide what you do with your body?" they'll say yes. As for changing the political system (whichever system you're referring to), well I'm certainly going to work on it.	/r/MensRights	28/02/14 06:01 AM
0	"Bathing in Male Tears" and other man-hating t-shirts touted as feminism. She? Also the point of the t-shirt is that a woman gets to make all the decisions regarding her vagina; nobody else gets a say. It's pretty clear and pretty fair.

You have been arguing as if everything is fine the way it is and we should just learn to deal with things. This is not how we make improvements. The way we get to a better world is by voicing our dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.

1	The representations of the female body in video games and movies are unrealistic and unattainable My point was that in a better world you would not have needed to go through abuse at all. The reason you feel that you have benefited from the abuse is because you think your experiences will help shield you from future abuse. If we work to change things for the better, then people will not need to learn to protect themselves from abuse, bullying or negative stereotypes. It is more important that we work towards a cure than a treatment. It's not that kids that need to be educated, it's that adul…	/r/MensRights	02/02/14 12:46 AM

As far as I know there are no studies showing any net positive benefits of being stereotyped or bullied. The fact of the matter is that it shouldn't be up to kids to overcome this negative shit. It should be up to us as adults to try and eliminate these stereotypes altogether; this is the example we should be setting for kids.

It's about making things better for everyone. Being exposed to the realities of life and being exposed to a barrage of negative stereotypes are totally different things. For instance, giving a kid a pet that you know will die in a decade or so is a positive way to expose children to the fact that everything dies.

Similarly, my issue with Bayonetta has never been the thinness of her legs it has always been the length in proportion to the rest of her body. A fact I have made perfectly clear.

Kids are less likely to simply be called "bad" and more likely to be recognized as having an actual condition. There are other possible reason but this is one of the most likely and personally it makes the most sense to me. As far as doctors not perf…	/r/MensRights	16/12/13 07:36 PM
23	Medicating the Masculine: "I’ve seen boys being routinely misdiagnosed as ADD and medicated for it just for being well… boys. " I'm actually studying abnormal child psychology right now and ADHD is an actual thing and currently the best treatment we have available is medication. There are measurable brain and neurological differences between kids with ADHD and kids without. For example, one common difference is that children with ADHD have smaller right prefrontal cortex than children without ADHD. There's lots of other measurable differences too. The medications used to treat ADHD help approximately 80% of children with…	/r/MensRights	16/12/13 06:55 PM
0	Critics of the male pill are wrong. It would end conception by deception, empower men and be the ultimate sexual revolution, says Peter Lloyd You can't just point to the mensrights subreddit and say "there's your proof." I think you misunderstand the concept of burden of proof. Its not about who started the argument, its about whoever is making claims. In this case both of us are making claims so both of us share the burden of proof. You are making wild assertions regarding the nature of the world and feminism and I'm saying that you're wrong. You want me to prove that women have it worse than men world wide. I'll admit that's a hard …	/r/MensRights	11/12/13 03:55 AM
0	Critics of the male pill are wrong. It would end conception by deception, empower men and be the ultimate sexual revolution, says Peter Lloyd I have to admit I find it pretty funny that you are accusing me of not citing my claims when your entire argument is lacking in citations of any kind. I have never said that there aren't issues affecting men too. In fact I'm pretty sure I admitted that there are some serious human right's issues that effect men and that they are what you men's righter's should be focused on instead of whining that feminists are not. I also never said that classism didn't exist but guess what? You can have both c…	/r/MensRights	10/12/13 10:48 PM
1	Critics of the male pill are wrong. It would end conception by deception, empower men and be the ultimate sexual revolution, says Peter Lloyd I want to make sure I've got a clear idea of exactly what you're arguing. Are you suggesting that overall men have it worse world wide than women, or that men have it as bad as women worldwide? Because I think you'll find that both these ideas are wrong. On the other hand, if you agree with me that women have it worse worldwide than men do then whats the problem with my suggesting that you look at the bigger picture? Patriarchies clearly still exist in a big way. I think that if you need to narr…	/r/MensRights	10/12/13 01:40 AM

Please note that this article provides a very good example of why the concept of patriarchy is still valid. Its valid because lots of people live outside your own part of the world and women still get the shit end of the stick in many countries. If you look at the world as a whole, then you should notice that women on a…	/r/MensRights	09/12/13 07:28 PM

So you're saying there was actually nothing worse about the way the girls bullied you, it was more about how you felt you could respond to the bullying.	/r/MensRights	20/10/13 08:19 PM

Pardon me for asking but how do you know that being bullied by girls is worse than being bullied by boys if you went to an all boys school?	/r/MensRights	20/10/13 07:35 PM
