3	How can you involve yourself with women in today's climate? Your issue is with a culture that raises women to value men by the size of their wallet, and that's fair. It's also with a culture that raises men to feel as though women will only value them by their wallet and that they are expected to pay for things. I'd also contend that any man who "buys into" paying for everything and thinks that is the only way to get a date with an "attractive" woman, or one who is not "desperate" is also part of the problem. I assure you, no man would pay for the date i…	/r/MensRights	20/08/14 11:00 PM
2	How can you involve yourself with women in today's climate? It could have been a general "you"? Regardless, the point is, "having to pay through your nose" is not something one must do in order to date. If one were to meet a woman who expected to be treated to everything and would refuse to go on any date that didn't cost a bunch of money...then I might suggested that person find a woman who is perfectly happy splitting the bill or having a low cost picnic in a park. They are out there, I know it.	/r/MensRights	20/08/14 08:33 PM
2	Dear 'Feminists', Ah didn't see that. Thanks for sharing! Just to clarify, my explanation was never "because we don't respect women" Not sure if you were implying that it was.	/r/MensRights	01/07/14 02:19 PM
4	Dear 'Feminists', It's definitely a fair point you raise, and I think they went a bit heavy handed with saying things like a weak man is "like a woman" That said, childhood insults like "you throw like a girl" are still very prevalent in various forms, so it's worth considering them. Many of the insults that exist (bitch, pussy, etc) are terms referencing the feminine. The question, I think, is why do we use femininity as an insult for males at all? I tend to think it's not so much a "we hate women, so we call we…	/r/MensRights	01/07/14 12:22 AM
12	Dear 'Feminists', Perhaps the point is that both genders suffer (in different ways) from expectations based on their sex? -Boys don't cry -Girls cry too much -Male virgins are pathetic, promiscuous males are alpha pimps -Female virgins are chaste, promiscuous females are sluts -Men should like sports and beer -Women should like makeup and shopping -And on it goes.... These expectations, and the insults that are thrown upon anyone who fails to uphold them, cause significant harm to many. It's the expectations/ster…	/r/MensRights	30/06/14 11:21 PM
4	Men are required by law to register with selective service at age 18. Now that women are allowed in combat roles, when will they also be required to register? Agree 100%. Again, see point 1...there's not a big enough outcry and too many people think "well it doesn't matter anyway"	/r/MensRights	30/06/14 07:00 PM
10	Men are required by law to register with selective service at age 18. Now that women are allowed in combat roles, when will they also be required to register? True - but it's motivation enough for them to not move to make any change. The status quo in this regard is "best" for them. If there was a big enough outcry, they couldn't logically counter it with anything, you're right. They'd have to change it. The problem then becomes: 1) There's not a big enough outcry 2) To my other point, many view the draft (at least in the US) as something that won't ever happen again...so a "well why bother changing the rules" applies. It's all very disappointing.	/r/MensRights	30/06/14 04:51 PM
65	Men are required by law to register with selective service at age 18. Now that women are allowed in combat roles, when will they also be required to register? The "problem" is that society/media will freak out much more about women being sent home in body bags, which in turn will cause support for any kind of war to evaporate quickly (which politicians wouldn't like if they supported it). An unfortunate symptom of how (in general) people value male and female life differently. I doubt there will ever be another draft though, so it's probably a non-issue. Still, it's the principal of the thing.	/r/MensRights	30/06/14 04:40 PM
