| 8 | Kinky woman invites kinky man over, and they have kinky sex.She declares it "RAPE",posting her version of the event on FetLife(a Facebook for kinky people).And even though it's pretty clear from her own description that it WASN'T rape,she gets so many "upvotes",that it reaches their front page!Exactly. The BDSM community is incredibly considerate and thorough, which is what is amazing about it. But there are others who weasel their way in and use aggression and violence against subs under the guise of "dominance". | /r/MensRights | 21/08/15 02:06 AM |

And screaming and crawling is okay IF YOU SAY ITS OKAY BEFOREHAND. You have to have these discussions, and he did not even bother with them. Using BDSM as a way to dismiss this issue is not okay, because the community knows that this is rape or assault. You're the only one saying otherwise. | /r/MensRights | 21/08/15 01:55 AM |

If he is truly knowledgeable of the ins and outs of BDSM, he should know how to read his partner and do check-ins to make sure everything's going well. But he didn't care, because he was clearly just there to do whatever the hell he wanted. Sometimes people are too scared to actually say th word "no" Or "stop". If your partner is unresponsive, crying, screaming, unconscious, etc., then you NEED to make sure things are okay | /r/MensRights | 20/08/15 10:48 PM |

That doesn't mean someone can just attack me and force me to have sex because it's "what I'm into" . I have to CONSENT ,and she was clearly to terrified (and probably damaged from the choking) to say whether or not shown wanted this. If a person is screaming and trying to get away, you need to stop and see what is going on. That's how responsible adults act. This guy sounds like a psychopathic rapist who doesn't give a damn about boundaries. | /r/MensRights | 20/08/15 10:44 PM |
| 3 | Why do you hate women so much?Regarding your attempted rape, did she have a strap on? How did that work? First of all, that's none of your damn business. Would you ask a woman how her rape happened? That's a tactless thing to ask someone, and you should be ashamed of yourself. Second, rape is sex without consent. That means that a man can be forced to penetrate a woman or man, can be assaulted while asleep, drugged, coerced, manipulated, etc. ,etc. And just because a man gets erect doesn't mean he's consenting (some women ge… | /r/MensRights | 07/08/15 11:31 PM |
| 1 | #SpankAFeminist: Because it's finally time to put abusive liars over the kneeThe racist lie that men in 3rd world countries beat their women and treat them like property What rock are you living under? Obviously men in third world countries have a lot holding them down, But we can't just ignore areas like India, Africa, and the middle east, where there's an epidemic of male-on-female violence. It's not racist. It's the truth. | /r/MensRights | 21/06/15 06:59 AM |
| 5 | Feminists declare they own gayness. Apparently, they get to decide who's the right kind of gay man.It's not hijacking anything. It's just overlap, like another user said. I'm a woman, so I care about women's rights even though I'm also a men's rights activist. I'm not straight, so I'm invested in LGBTQ rights, even though I'm going to marry a man. We're a diverse group of people, and we can support various causes without "hijacking" them | /r/MensRights | 09/06/15 06:50 AM |

| 0 | Do MRAs support gay marriage?No problem! Bisexual refers to someone who can be attracted to both men And women. Pansexual means someone who can be attracted to men, women, people with no gender or fluid gender, trans people, etc. It's covers the grey areas of gender identity. Some pans people refer to themselves as bi in order to avoid awkward questions, but most that I've dealt with are comfortable discussing it. Edit: I hope that made it more clear. Edit: I accidentally defined bi people as straight. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/15 04:24 AM |
| 1 | Do MRAs support gay marriage?I support gay marriage as an LGBTQ issue, rather than a men's rights one, simply because it affects more than just gay men. I'm a pansexual woman who's already found the man of my life, but I still want others to be able to marry someone of the same (or no) sex | /r/MensRights | 04/06/15 12:57 AM |

That's how marriages works." Saying you'll be with someone for the rest of your life doesn't mean that you're obligated to give them sex when you don't want it.

You really showed us what it means to be a masculine man, coming in here with a brand new account to give your uninformed opinion on a group that you disagree with and therefore feel the need to be a gigantic douchebag to.

The mother MUST take part in the test!They keep talking about paternity tests destroying the fragile family dynamic. Isn't it already destroyed when your partner chooses to have sex outside of your monogamous relationship?(working on the assumption that most of these people are worried about cheating or fraud) Just because it's a secret doesn't mean it didn't happen. | /r/MensRights | 12/05/15 11:16 PM |

I'm saying that they're more concerned about their own penis than woman tend to be. Obviously there are people who are size queens or men who don't give a fuck, but the majority of people who seem to really care about the size of a penis are men. | /r/MensRights | 26/04/15 04:51 PM |

There are some assholes who believe that marital rape isn't real and that women are vastly inferior to men and that trans people cannot exist, but they are the very small minority. Just the usual extremists that you find in any movement. Also, I've never heard anyone say that rape only exists when done to men. If anything, some feminists say that rape can only happen to women. | /r/MensRights | 26/04/15 04:11 PM |

"Do women really care about penis size?" (Thousands of comments that say it's not really that important) "My penis is small. How can I satisfy my partner?"

| 3 | No cunt, no one cares you "choose" to be barren. Of course you could find a husband if you wanted to!.... all she's saying is that men and women shouldn't have to explain themselves to everyone when they say they don't want kids. I don't understand why you have a problem with this mindset. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/15 08:08 PM |
| 5 | Reverse logic was my down fallYeah, you made a stupid argument. The sister shouldn't get mad, and it doesn't matter if you flip the genders or not. Calling a boy pretty won't make him gay. Calling a girl handsome won't turn her into a lesbian. Its a compliment using small words that children understand to be good things.

| 3 | I was so shy I had to be drunk to make love, says Julie Walters: Actress says she used to turn to alcohol to bring her out of her shellIf I see someone who drank too much and is passed out on a bed, I'm no going to touch them because that's an incredibly fucked up thing to do. It doesn't matter that they chose to drink. If I see them in that state and choose to have sex with them anyway, IM the one in the wrong, because that is taking advantage of someone who is unable to consent. Edit: Also, fuck you and your chaperone bullshit. | /r/MensRights | 10/03/15 07:11 PM |
| 3 | I was so shy I had to be drunk to make love, says Julie Walters: Actress says she used to turn to alcohol to bring her out of her shellWhich occasion? Both parties a little drunk, or both parties smashed out of their minds? You weren't clear. Regardless, both parties always have to consent. That's how sex works. You don't have to say explicitly "I want to have sex with you", because there is enthusiastic consent. If someone is just laying there and not participating, one should stop and make sure everything is okay. | /r/MensRights | 10/03/15 03:48 PM |
| 3 | I was so shy I had to be drunk to make love, says Julie Walters: Actress says she used to turn to alcohol to bring her out of her shellA little alcohol is okay.

Blame yourself. Once again, if you want to start a discussion on male suicide due to feminism, go for it. Its more productive than saying "I've been banned! How can I stop these evil women?!"

That's why I wanted to get a feel for what makes a person too feminist to associate with. | /r/MensRights | 29/05/14 04:24 AM |

| 3 | Getting feminists out of your lifeThen you're being close-minded. You know that everyone in every movement has different views of what that movement stands for. Looks at us, for instance. We are probably two very different MRAs. Yet we continue to associate with each other. Rather than pushing potentially awesome people away just because they identify as a feminist, you should have a discussion with that person and figure out what their stance is on issues, what feminism means to them, etc. | /r/MensRights | 29/05/14 12:32 AM |
| 4 | Getting feminists out of your lifeHow feminist-leaning is your girlfriend allowed to be before you dump her? I believe that women deserve the right to vote, access to abortion and birth control, no discrimination, etc. Is that too feminist? Because to me, that's basic equality. | /r/MensRights | 29/05/14 12:27 AM |
| 3 | Getting feminists out of your lifeBecause you value their friendship otherwise? Because sometimes your boyfriends, girlfriends, coworkers, parents, etc hold feminist beliefs?

| 1 | Open question, what the hell does "men are taught they are entitled to sex and women's bodies" even mean????I don't believe that it's true overall, but you can find some evidence of it in film. No one is explicitly saying "You are entitled to sex". But films show every male main character ending up with a chick. It doesn't matter if it's Vin Diesel, the Rock, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Nicholas Cage, etc. They guy always gets the girl. That's just one example. Like I said, I don't buy into the idea too much. I'm just explaining a feminist perspective. | /r/MensRights | 28/05/14 08:46 PM |

There is no excuse. He should have gotten a shit ton of mental help. Yes, he was a misogynist. Yes, that played a huge role in this act. But that was not the only factor.

The reason men will benefit is because they will be paid the same as their female counterparts, rather than getting tipped way less for having a penis. We often discuss how the wage gap doesn't exist, but this one clearly does, and it needs to be removed. I have seen other articl… | /r/MensRights | 03/04/14 05:42 PM |
| 4 | "Unfair Restaurant Tipping" All I got from this was men should not be waiters...If all you got from this was the part that mentioned effeminate men, then you read it wrong. They aren't tipping men less because they dislike men. They're tipping men less because those men aren't attractive, polite, and touchy women. Had they conducted a study that analyzed tips given to "pretty" waitresses vs ones given to "ugly" waitresses, you'd see more of what I mean.

| 3 | What is up with these Fake "Moderates" & Concern trolls?No. It means that I value debate in general. First and foremost, its good to know that the man is okay after his divorce. Clearly, he's not, since he seems to believe that feminism is solely to blame for brainwashing his ex-wife. His belief that feminism Is at fault raises the question "is that really the case?" Some people think it is. Others, not so much. Of course they're going to talk about it, and it is good for all of us to discuss it, including OP. | /r/MensRights | 24/02/14 05:39 PM |

Aside from your example, I can't think of any mainstream video games that have a bigger female audience than a male one. As a girl, I always played the same things as everyone else. Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Mario, Sonic, etc. | /r/MensRights | 20/11/13 04:37 PM |
| 2 | Ms. Male Character - Tropes vs Women in Video GamesBut we also are not feminists. Anita is a feminist producer. Her videos are proceeded with the title "Feminist Frequency". And because she is a feminist, she uses male-blaming feminist terms such as rape culture, patriarchy, misogyny, etc. She is the exact opposite of the MRM. Posting a video about how women are negatively affected by gaming is not men's rights related. Posting a video in which a woman blames a male-dominated society for these effects is not men's rights related. Maybe a video t… | /r/MensRights | 20/11/13 04:34 PM |
| 3 | Ms. Male Character - Tropes vs Women in Video GamesShe gave people a time frame. I didn't just pull that out of thin air. The point is, her credibility is totally gone. Also, why post a feminist video made by a prominent feminist who is disliked by MRAs in an MRA subreddit? I understand trying to get people to see the feminist perspective, but nothing she says has to do with the men's rights. | /r/MensRights | 20/11/13 03:25 PM |
| 7 | Ms. Male Character - Tropes vs Women in Video GamesThis isn't a case of feminists being bad. It's a case of Anita being bad. She got all this extra money to make videos that shouldn't cost that much to start with. She bought a few games. If the money really freed up her time like she said it would, she should have blown through at least a few games quickly and had a video out fairly shortly. She didn't. Instead, she went on various shows and complained about how mean people are and how much hate she's been getting. Maybe if she had been honest a… | /r/MensRights | 20/11/13 03:10 PM |

When I drink with my friends, Its because I want to hang out with them, play video games, and drink. It doesn't mean that I'm opening myself up to any and all sexual scenarios. If that's the case, then stepping outside my house would be my way of inviting people to murder me. | /r/MensRights | 17/10/13 03:52 PM |

| 2 | How do you define sexual assault?How do you define sexual assault? Your definition Sexual assault is when someone does not/cannot consent to sex In my opinion, that is rape. My definition of sexual assault is more like undesired/forced groping, kissing, etc. When some form of sex comes into play, that's when I up the severity from sexual assault to rape. That being said, you should contact the people who made the survey and see where they got their stats from. | /r/MensRights | 17/08/13 04:27 AM |

If you give a feminist any example of how men are disadvantaged in society, the feminist will warp it into sexism against women.

| 40 | Sadly this seems to be how feminists view menYou know those "Walk in her shoes" marathons, in which men walk in high heels to raise awareness for male-on-female domestic violence? Well a prominent feminist was against those altogether. Why? Because they were too focused on men. Basically, she said that men should be silent cheerleaders. They need to stay quiet while the women are talking and never voice their opinion, because that is a demonstration of their privilege. So much equality..... | /r/MensRights | 12/08/13 09:37 PM |

Yes, our primary focus is on the rights of men. However, look at the ultra shitty time that gay men have in this world.

| 1 | See, it's okay to sexually fondle sleeping men; what would the reaction be if the genders were reversed?Not really. People with that mentality usually do things because they feel they have to in order to.appease someone. A long talk about this stuff can actually reveal what they aren't cool with, even if they say they are. You just have to look and listen for signs of hesitation, that's all. Body language is still a form of communication. If you mention wanting to wake up your boyfriend with a blowing and he gets all shifty and looks not thrilled about it, you probably shouldn't do it.

It really does have nothing to do with men's rights. It has nothing to do with problems that men face as a gender. It offers nothing positive, note-worthy, inspiring, etc for men. It has no place here. The actors death most likely has little to do with men's rights.

I've been asked on dates, and they had no problem buying dinner (I'm a cheap date, so they don't have to spend much). When I invite someone somewhere, I pay, unless the person insists otherwise.

I dumped them because I just honestly felt we were better off as friends (which is why I'm still cool with all of them). The guy who has hurt me emotionally didn't do it through abuse.

I intensely disagree with this person's argument, but don't know the right words to give a constructive argument.The issue that feminists have when it comes to women's reproductive rights usually involves politics. People try to pass legislation to make abortion illegal, or to try and guilt trip you out of getting one. There's even a lady who is trying to push the idea that, if a rape victim aborts the baby that was created during her rApe, she is tampering with evidence ad is committing a crime.
