3	GF has started getting violent on me. I left her today after she beat me. Peoples reactions have been insane The law read someone must ALWAYS be arrested for every single domestic violence call?? Jesus. Source?	/r/MensRights	08/02/15 11:58 PM
1	Instead of having "feminism" and "men's rights," why isn't there one civil rights group that works to solve inequalities suffered by both genders? That's not a pervasive idea. That's some B.S straw man feminist dreamed up like 'don't ask what she was wearing'. Saying the whole culture or much of it accepts that in the mainstream is plainly stupid and or intentionally deceptive. Women walk around half naked all the damn time and nobody thinks anything of it. What idiot believes that crap to be true? Hmm. I lead sexual assault prevention & response workshops at a pretty prestigious University. These aren't dumb kids. Young women have asked m…	/r/MensRights	05/06/14 09:58 AM
1	Instead of having "feminism" and "men's rights," why isn't there one civil rights group that works to solve inequalities suffered by both genders? :) Thanks for all your replies! Really enjoyed reading them. Hope you'll think my questions make sense.	/r/MensRights	05/06/14 09:32 AM
1	Instead of having "feminism" and "men's rights," why isn't there one civil rights group that works to solve inequalities suffered by both genders? The part where women feel entitled to men's bodies - grabbing crotches in bars, gay-shaming men who don't want sex or calling the misogynist - that rape culture is real. So no. What you're describing here I've always understood as the assumption that men constantly want it. In that Askreddit thread on men who've been raped, many men and women make this assumption--and many men and women respond harshly to victims as a result. It must be particularly awful to have other men trying to invalidate y…	/r/MensRights	05/06/14 09:14 AM
0	Instead of having "feminism" and "men's rights," why isn't there one civil rights group that works to solve inequalities suffered by both genders? Hey! Thanks for your well thought-out reply. Take the old chestnut: "friend zone". Every time it gets brought up, people speak to their own definition and ignore everyone else's. Which is tricky when a phrase has four or more non-compatible meanings. The conversation devolves into squalor, and everyone walks away frustrated. I’d be very interested to hear your definition. I understand it to mean cases of unrequited intention to date involving bitterness / a sense of entitlement from the pursuer.…	/r/MensRights	04/06/14 06:07 PM
-5	Instead of having "feminism" and "men's rights," why isn't there one civil rights group that works to solve inequalities suffered by both genders? Woah there. Err.. can someone confirm if it's typical for MRAs not to think rape culture exists? Maybe it's a semantic thing? The pervasive idea that men can't control themselves, can't help but rape a women in revealing clothing, is part of rape culture. Similarly, the idea that men can't be raped because they "always want it" is part of rape culture. Isn't the whole slavering sex-addicted man-beast conception of men something that MRAs try to fight against?	/r/MensRights	04/06/14 01:17 PM
2	Instead of having "feminism" and "men's rights," why isn't there one civil rights group that works to solve inequalities suffered by both genders? Hey! Thanks for clarifying. Those people sound terrible. I wish there were a weeding out process by which they would be unable to call themselves feminists, as I feel like they hinder everyone's quest for parity.	/r/MensRights	04/06/14 11:46 AM
-4	Instead of having "feminism" and "men's rights," why isn't there one civil rights group that works to solve inequalities suffered by both genders? People, male or female, who tell a man or a woman to "man up" are proponents of the patriarchy (or however else you want to phrase "system of gendered oppression"). Pisses me off that people calling themselves "feminists" did that to you. I just wanted to reply to your point on mansplaining. My understanding of mansplaining is a very specific thing: the tendency for a man to just assume he knows more than a woman and needs to explain something to her. My boyfriend actually does this a lot. Ex, I…	/r/MensRights	04/06/14 11:04 AM
3	Instead of having "feminism" and "men's rights," why isn't there one civil rights group that works to solve inequalities suffered by both genders? Yeah, feminists attempted to pass and are still attempting to pass the ERA (shot down recently in Virginia). I'm a little surprised you thought NOW is a radical group, as my impression in school was that they're kind of THE second gen feminist organization. Is this a common misconception? If you define "rabid feminists" as people who only want to be rid of the parts of the patriarchy that do not benefit them, then duh. But then idk what the point of that is.	/r/MensRights	04/06/14 10:28 AM
4	The harassing PMs and threats that 2XC users have been complaining MRAs have sent since they became a default turn out to be lies or false flag operations by regular users, according to admin /u/Deimorz I'm confused--2Xer here and I've definitely received more than four abusive PMs myself--only two since defaulting though. I always hit the "report" button on the message in my inbox, but after skimming that thread it looks like I'm supposed to message the mods of /r/reddit.com instead...? Looks like some controversy over whether those mods would do anything. Also--how the hell would anyone know if the PMs came from an MRA?	/r/MensRights	24/05/14 09:47 PM
9	Men forced to swap seats with a female on a flight if seated next to unaccompanied minors. Holy crap, I would have been pissed shitless. I don't even get the empty seat policy--is having a separation of like, three feet really going to stop an ACTUAL predator from doing something if s/he were going to? Furthermore, why was the airilne liable for whatever incidents happened in the past, driving them to instate this policy? Also, ironically, I just came from a thread on 2x where I said I'd never seen the whole men-are-men women-are-females phenomenon, and here it is in this title. I did…	/r/MensRights	20/05/14 03:53 PM
4	I was happy to see this on /r/funny I have a feeling this was made to parody the Don't Be That Guy campaign and therefore is meant to be ridiculous in some way or another--maybe so obvious it doesn't have to be stated? Maybe meant to say men with erections actually DO want to fuck, as do whatever women are described in the original campaign? Maybe just meant to be outrageous / go for shock value? Maybe actually meant as a male equivalent anti-rape campaign--but whoever put it in /r/funny probably didn't take it that way. But I jus…	/r/MensRights	05/10/13 11:47 PM
6	There ought to be a law against this. I saw a thread in 2x about this--women with short hair (I'm going to write "men's length" at the risk of sounding sexist) still get charged a shitload more to have their hair cut in a "man's style." Lots of complaints of this, even girls asking for no layers, no fancy shit--literally want buzzed hair-being charged significantly more. Did see a couple stories of girls successfully arguing their way to a man's price, though.	/r/MensRights	09/05/12 09:06 PM

40	Yep, this is what you call fair justice system: woman rapes boy 300 times, gets 29 months of jail This guy is one shit-ass idiot--I've had freshmen girls in college wonder how a guy could get raped by a woman, thinking that he just wouldn't be hard, but I didn't realize guys could make that mistake, too. Mister--don't you have a dick? Haven't you gotten hard like, riding the bus? Everyone knows in their HEART OF HEARTS that you have. Also: what's with this idea that rape has to be traumatic "enough" to appease general audiences? Omg no physical altercation, not enough kicking and screaming, …	/r/MensRights	29/03/12 06:55 PM
5	Or...you could try being honest. Just a thought, Cosmo. I really disilked Cosmo because I thought it was all about casual sex, then I heard about a story in it about a rape survivor who enjoys Cosmo because it helped her learn how to talk about sex openly and healthily with her boyfriend, so I thought Cosmo was about promoting healthy sexual relationships between you and your (implied: long-term) partner. Now I'm just confused haha.	/r/MensRights	28/03/12 06:36 PM
1	Or...you could try being honest. Just a thought, Cosmo. any woman who is capable of believing a man honestly cares about her can be deceived by a PUA. i'm just saying the PUA range is not just restricted to "skanks" or women with particularly low self-esteem.	/r/MensRights	28/03/12 06:14 PM

4	Modern Men Are Trained To Hate Women Read through this whole thread--no one had a problem with "women, it turns out, are attracted to masculine men, not feminized men, and that is a very painful lesson for some?" I'm just like... speak for yourself?	/r/MensRights	27/03/12 11:03 PM
