2	Toronto's immigration detention centres have a special "family" section that is reserved for mothers and their children. Fathers are detained separately in the section for adult males, and are only allowed to see other family members for brief periods. What do you propose as a solution to this problem?	/r/MensRights	14/12/12 06:24 PM
2	Women are the victim, no matter who the victim is! I don't believe that sort of behavior is specific to MRA's feminists, but yes, I'm glad you understood what I was trying to say - I suck at putting my thoughts into words, ha.	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 01:19 AM
3	Women are the victim, no matter who the victim is! So now in both cases, they want the choice of wearing male clothing, and the choice of working a full-time job (which is all fine and dandy), but they still look down upon men for not wanting those things because they couldn't possible understand why. Do you think that's because they were originally forced to one side (women's roles), then finally being able to have the choice of the other side (men's roles) they just really can't see why anyone would want the first side (women's roles)? I feel …	/r/MensRights	06/12/12 10:46 PM
-1	DON'T BE THAT GIRL Yeah, had a discussion about this when my sister posted those ads to Facebook. I see the male homosexual poster made it in, but I was irked that not a single one portrayed a female as the 'rapist'. They could have even used the same lines, just changed the gender of the text and image... "It's not sex when he doesn't want it." "It's not sex when he's wasted." "It's not sex when he's passed out" "Just because he isn't saying no, doesn't mean he's saying yes." "Just because you helped him home, do…	/r/MensRights	05/12/12 07:46 PM
15	TIL: A former girlfriend of Bill Maher tried to sue him for $9M for not marrying her. I don't believe any rational person, feminist or not, would believe there is any justification to the lawsuit. Aside from that, nowhere on the Wikipage did it state that the woman, Coco, was a feminist. Just because a crazy person does something does not mean they are 1.) Part of a movement or belief system (in this case feminist) and 2.) That said movement or belief system agrees or supports the crazy person's actions.	/r/MensRights	27/11/12 05:46 PM
1	The Femitheist, the most evil feminist on Earth Really shouldn't be identifying someone like that as an example of any movement - clearly that person is beyond disturbed.	/r/MensRights	26/11/12 09:22 PM
1	Circumcision is good for men, because their partners will enjoy sex more. Can, being the keyword. Some women will never have orgasms. =)	/r/MensRights	26/11/12 08:25 PM
2	How many of you are women? I'm female and I'm for gender equality or compromise when equality is not an option (dumbing down to the lowest common denominator does not provide equality - see Harrison Bergeron shot story for context). And sometimes I really do feel like a lot of MRAs fucking hate women, possibly only because when issues are brought up - say, a double standard - it's clearly women and those damned feminists that did this to men. Because blaming other people as opposed to coming up with solutions to the issue…	/r/MensRights	26/11/12 08:21 PM
1	Men's Rights are important, but please don't let it take over your life. What angers me more: Assuming that, because I'm a woman, I'm part of the "evil feminists" who hate men.	/r/MensRights	26/11/12 08:14 PM
1	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Women can get prostate cancer, as well, it's just very rare.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 11:53 PM
0	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair That would've been a perfectly good way to solve the issue, however keep in mind this wasn't because girls couldn't grow mustaches - it was mostly that the other boys couldn't - I don't see why they couldn't have just done what you suggested, though.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 10:47 PM
4	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Evidence of WHAT? This isn't discrimination against MEN because it's not against MEN. It's not in favor of WOMEN or MEN. The school is stating that young BOYS who cannot grow facial hair may feel left out because a few other BOYS can grow facial hair. Is it a good policy? NO. But it is not a gender issue - unless you want to say men who can't grow facial hair are discriminating against men who can. It has nothing to do with women. And I'm calling you "dude" because I call everyone dude. You're n…	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 08:25 PM
1	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Dude, you need to read the article and get off your tangent. This is not discrimination against men. This is not in favor of women. Let it go.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 08:07 PM
3	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair I'm not giving you an example because your argument is irrelevant. Plus, there are no fundraisers for females that both genders can't support or participate in. Oh wait, cervical cancer. But men can participate in that because HPV is also carried by men and can affect men medically - oh, and because you don't need to do anything that only a woman can in order to show support for it. Regardless, this school's policy did not keep the boy from growing a mustache because of females. Read the damn ar…	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 07:53 PM
4	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Sigh, again, it's not because "women can't". It's because he's a young boy, and most of the young boys can't grow facial hair. They don't want anyone to feel like they "can't" participate. That's what it says in the article. Please read it. It never even mentions "women" or "girls" once. It only even mentions "age or gender" when referring to how they deal with ANY fundraising event. You're trying to make this a men's issue, when it isn't. And I'm not providing you with an "example" of anything …	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 07:40 PM
5	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Except men do have breasts and do get breast cancer, and "breast cancer awareness" doesn't require doing anything that excludes anyone by age or gender. (The only thing that "excludes" men from breast cancer awareness is the idiotic decision to make everything pink - which in turn focuses on women's breasts and gives young men the false assumption that men don't have to worry about breast cancer. This isn't some evil feminist ploy or conspiracy, it's just poor marketing. I mean FFS, women can ge…	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 07:20 PM
2	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair I can agree with you there. The wording is very "I DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE" - but, I mean, can you blame them? No matter what they do they're going to get flack. It's very silly, and I highly doubt any females would ever be offended because they can't grow a mustache. If they want to participate in No Shave November, then they can not shave any other part of their body that actually grows hair. Or, you know, they can donate money to the cause.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 06:10 PM
2	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Yeah, I can totally understand, that doesn't mean that anyone should go out looking for stuff to be angry at. It'd be nice to see some positive stuff coming from MRA - like, a discussion on how they think the laws should be changed for custody or child support that is beneficial to both genders. Or, how their day was... I keep forgetting that this isn't TwoX, where we discuss a lot of our gender issues, but also have "Look at this cute thing my boyfriend made me today!" posts because it's not sp…	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 06:07 PM
1	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Yup, and it looks like the school recognizes that and doesn't want to exclude children who can't grow facial hair. Is it stupid? Yes. Is it gender discrimination? No.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 05:52 PM
3	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Mr Hooker said he was told his son was one of only a few pupils of his age with facial hair and the others would be unable to take part. A spokesperson for the school said it could only support fundraising activities that are "entirely inclusive". "Fundraising is an inclusive activity with all pupils having the opportunity to participate regardless of age or gender," a statement said. "In a coeducational school with young children, growing facial hair would not be an activity that many children …	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 05:39 PM
1	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Yes, please. I read the title, comments, found a comment saying "whoa guys, chill", then read the article. In hindsight, I should've just read the article first.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 04:55 PM
4	TIL that if a woman doesn't swallow and secretly uses a man's "seed" to impregnate herself, he is still legally required to pay child support [x-post r/TIL] make sure you trust someone before you have sex with them And for FFS, wear a condom. I'm female, and I was extremely surprised when I began casual dating at the amount of men who were completely fine with going bareback (I gave them a condom anyway) and assumed I was on birth control (I am, but that's beside the point). It's up to you to protect yourself, as it is for her.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 04:52 PM
33	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair Which is sad, because the MRM has a lot of good, interesting, and important points they touch on - but it gets overshadowed by other communities by inane crap like this that has nothing to do with gender issues.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 04:08 PM
187	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/138ij9/school_bans_movember_because_girls_cant_grow/c71q98a This title is extremely misleading. The school isn't banning it because girls can't grow facial hair, it's because the other boys his age can't.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 03:33 PM
11	School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hair I really like this subreddit, but I swear it really feels like a lot of the users take a lot of articles out of context just to have something to be offended about.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 03:31 PM
1	TwoX reader posts about the culture of fear of men that TwoX creates Ah, I completely agree. I treat all my friends and acquaintances different depending on the person and not the gender - I just have no way to influence others to do the same, except to call them out when generalizing or in the act of a double standard. I can only hope being able to call them out politely as a "not cool, man. look at it from this point of view and tell me you feel the same way". Thank you for the discussion - I always enjoy learning from another perspective.	/r/MensRights	15/11/12 02:52 PM
1	Because it's your son's fault. The only way that would be victim blaming would be if they'd arrest and charge the owner who was burgled instead of or in addition to going after the burglar(s). You can blame someone without arresting them. So you don't think one should tell them that they should have closed and locked the doors and windows? That isn't what I implied. It's fine to advise precautionary measures, but to say "You were robbed because you didn't lock your door" is saying "This is your fault". No, it isn't. It's the …	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 10:37 PM
1	Because it's your son's fault. Technically, yes that is victim blaming. You are telling the victim it is their fault that they were robbed. I dislike when people use the ol' "didn't lock your door" analogy. How many people lock their door and are still robbed? Most. Windows can be broken, doors can be smashed. The criminal doesn't care what you've done to prevent them from committing a crime; they're going to attempt to do it.	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 09:10 PM
1	Has Anyone Else Noticed that Mothers of Both a Son and a Daughter have a Tendency to be More Supportive of MensRights' Ideologies? I think that parents who have both genders for children have a higher tendency to understand each gender's issues and how it will affect their offspring.	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 06:59 PM
1	Any "Real men don't" statement is an example of the "No true scotsman" informal logical falicy. I think people make the mistake of saying "real men" when they mean "honorable people". "Real men don't hit women." Yes, some human beings with penises or who identify themselves as male hit women. "Honorable/Good people don't physically harm another being." is what the message should be.	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 06:28 PM
1	When did asking a girl out become male privilege? I definitely think she got the word "privilege" confused with "obligation". Perhaps what she's saying here is that men are expected to ask the woman out; it's reinforced by an awful social stigma that a woman should not ask a man out because she'll be seen as too "aggressive" or "assertive" and unsubmissive, which has been inscribed into them as unattractive and unwanted qualities to men - mostly by terrible magazines like Cosmo, some other women, and a handful of men who cling to old traditiona…	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 06:21 PM
2	TwoX reader posts about the culture of fear of men that TwoX creates I thought about this last night - you're right, I can't think of how else someone would treat a male if he openly said he was traumatized from being mugged, etc. That being said, I hope you do not feel that being coddled and sympathized is a positive thing - this double standard is negative for both genders, they're just different types of problems. Do you think there is any way we as a society can begin to get rid of this stereotype? I feel if I attempted to be sympathetic or sensitive to a man…	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 03:26 PM
2	Today I exercised my only reproductive right. Ah, I'm sure it is easier for a woman to have a Tubal ligation when she's already has kids, as well. Thank you for replying.	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 03:18 PM
1	Because it's your son's fault. Lots of absent minded people; people who tell someone that they shouldn't have been wearing a skirt or "provocative" clothing, that they shouldn't have been walking alone, etc. When the front page of Reddit was covered in stories about rape last Summer (2011, I think) the posts were full of that sort of shit, mostly based around clothes and "they were asking for it by wearing that". I don't think I've ever heard someone say my exact quote of "Well, if you didn't want to get raped you should have…	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 03:02 PM
1	TwoX reader posts about the culture of fear of men that TwoX creates Has anyone ever been expected to walk down dark alleyways? I don't feel at all like that's a common reaction to a mugging... maybe I just surround myself in good company.	/r/MensRights	14/11/12 01:22 AM
1	"Birth control should be for men." Both genders spread HPV, there are just fewer health risks for men - and I believe there are no available tests for men either (it involves swabbing). It's more than likely beneficial for both genders to have the vaccine.	/r/MensRights	13/11/12 11:38 PM
2	How does a man get raped by a woman? I know it happens, I just don't know how. I'd say I'm ignorant but it's not like society is rubbing it in my face... I see this as one of the more important notes for rape in general, regardless of gender.	/r/MensRights	13/11/12 11:31 PM
2	Why Women Cheat I'm unsure why reasons for cheating are gender-exclusive.	/r/MensRights	13/11/12 11:11 PM
1	Because it's your son's fault. Telling someone that "Well, if you didn't want to get raped you should have taken those self-defense classes." is what would be considered victim blaming. Stating an obvious "Take precautions so you know how to defend yourself in a dangerous situation" isn't victim blaming.	/r/MensRights	13/11/12 11:06 PM
4	TwoX reader posts about the culture of fear of men that TwoX creates What is the response most men get? The response I've seen on Reddit and in person to any person getting mugged or physically assaulted has been, in summary, "Fuck, I'm glad you're alive - what happened? That really sucks, I'm sorry."	/r/MensRights	13/11/12 11:00 PM
3	TwoX reader posts about the culture of fear of men that TwoX creates I don't believe any of them are simply stating that being mugged, assaulted, or raped only happens to women.	/r/MensRights	13/11/12 10:54 PM
2	Today I exercised my only reproductive right. I'm curious, are there are ideas floating around - aside from future male contraceptive pill - that are available to alleviate the reproduction issue for men? I recognize it as a problem, however I'm unable to come up with a solution. Also, do doctors give younger men much hassle for getting a vasectomy? I have had zero luck on finding a doctor who will perform a Tubal ligation for me and have always wondered if it's the same for both genders.	/r/MensRights	13/11/12 10:44 PM
1	Why we need feminism Something I've never really understood when browsing MR... What do most of the MRAs believe is a rational solution to this issue? Obviously it's an issue; females currently have a way to control what the outcome for her body is, men don't have a say in the abortion topic - I'd like to hear some solutions for this, because I'm stumped.	/r/MensRights	13/11/12 10:31 PM
3	Can men be trusted to take male contraceptive pill? I don't think the article is implying that women don't want men to have the option, it's stating that out of their female sample size women didn't trust that men would take it daily - just as I'd say a lot of men in MR don't seem to trust women to take theirs. It's a pretty irrelevant study, though. I think it will be amazing when a fully functional and easy-to-use contraceptive for men is available, aside from condoms. I will be able to take my own pill, he can take his pill, and wear a condom.…	/r/MensRights	12/11/12 11:59 PM
6	Cover of the new Rolling Stone; where is the feminist outcry? Thank you.	/r/MensRights	20/09/12 10:41 PM
0	I used to dislike r/MensRights. Today I changed my mind. I'm more bothered when someone sees me as a sexual object and only a sexual object, either with unwanted advances or uncalled for catcalling - any behaviour that is inappropriate and makes people feel uncomfortable. Auldreekie seems to want to make the defence that if someone checks you out that you should take it as a compliment because it's just a natural mating behaviour; however some people feel uncomfortable when they're treated like this. To one person they're just enjoying the scenery, to…	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 12:51 AM

4	This about sums it up. Thanks for taking the time to share your point of view on this! I feel the same way, so it is a relief that my view is shared by some of the opposite gender.	/r/MensRights	26/08/11 07:57 PM

6	This about sums it up. Hey, maybe you can answer my question. What does the majority of MensRights feel is the solution to a situation where the pregnant female wants an abortion, but the male wants to have the child (and is willing to take sole custody of the child etc.). I know right now in society the female will win the this situation because it's her body that is put on the line, but I was curious if anyone in MensRights had an equal solution to this. As a female, I'm inclined to say "fuck you, I'm not destroying…	/r/MensRights	26/08/11 07:30 PM
