1	Was It Rape? A handy flowchart, courtesy of lawcomic.net. If someone is being raped, but the rapist is too drunk to remember (black out), it is rape. You're starting with the assumption that rape is occurring. All this sentence says is "if it's rape, then it's rape." If I shot someone but said as a defense "well I was too drunk so I couldn't tell if the gun was loaded or not", I'd be found guilty. The case of shooting someone is different from the case of drunk sex. A shooting always implies a criminal act (either maliciousness or negligence from the s…	/r/MensRights	24/10/14 05:19 AM
3	Crowdfunding campaign to "Pay back the money women lose from the 'wage gap'." How many times does this idea need to be proven wrong to stop the idiocy? "Only 22 days left for every man, woman, and child in the entire US to donate $100,000! Donate now!" These people are so fucking stupid I don't even have the words to elucidate how stupid they are.	/r/MensRights	10/10/14 12:59 AM
7	Crowdfunding campaign to "Pay back the money women lose from the 'wage gap'." How many times does this idea need to be proven wrong to stop the idiocy? Here's the one I usually cite. "this study leads to the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action. Indeed, there may be nothing to correct. The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers."	/r/MensRights	10/10/14 12:54 AM
2	Article tells women to treat their partners like "puppies", "train him", "create scarcity" to keep him chasing, etc. Imagine the feminist outrage to a reversed article? While Sloan recommends drawing upon traditional puppy psychology, she doesn't suggest women should literally treat their men the same way they do their dogs. 'That would be disrespectful and would not work to produce lasting results,' says Sloan. 'But I do condone changing your behaviour to elicit a better response from your partner.'	/r/MensRights	01/08/14 09:19 AM
2	You can take back consent? Taking back consent is entirely acceptable and understandable. What is not, and what this article espouses, is retroactively taking back consent. It's just fine to say yes to something, but then decide against it and say stop. It's not okay to blame someone for what they did before you took that consent back, and this article claims that you can take it back whenever you want and retroactively blame the other person for "violating your consent." I wouldn't even call your case one of taking back …	/r/MensRights	13/05/14 07:08 AM
1	You can take back consent? Your comment must have been deleted; there are currently only a handful of comments, all of which agree with the author. Figures that someone this deluded would be unable to handle criticism.	/r/MensRights	13/05/14 06:58 AM
1	You can take back consent? I think I understand what you're saying. You're saying that people can make a bad decision that seemed good at the time, right? This is true to a point. People make decisions based on the information they have, which is rarely all the information. So a decision can seem good based on the info you have at the time, but turn out to be a bad decision. You can make bad decisions while using good judgement. The problem now is the issue of "fault." If you make a bad decision but used good judgement, I…	/r/MensRights	13/05/14 06:54 AM
2	"The other woman". Three men gang up to take vicious revenge on an unfaithful slut, feeding her hormones, causing spine injury, ruining her financially. A hilarious comedy. (Reversing genders on a movie in theaters near you.) That's a fair criticism when you're only looking at what /u/Kuato2012 commented on: MRA internet forums vs. feminist internet forums. Personally, I see men's issues marginalized in the places where it really matters to me: society at large and the government. The white house recently (and still does) officially supported the "women earn 77 cents to the dollar compared to men" statistic. This is after a 2009 Department of Labor study came to the "unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the…	/r/MensRights	13/05/14 03:44 AM
2	Women can be shitty too That doesn't appear to me to be the default feminist opinion at all. Here's how feminist rhetoric makes their worldview appear to me: Default feminist opinion is that the patriarchy is real. That somehow men seized all (or most) of the world's power, and women aren't in positions of power because the men are scheming to keep them out. Thus: Men are selfish and power hungry, and women are just trying to correct that. Default feminist opinion is that there is a rape epidemic and a culture of rape.…	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/04/14 03:52 PM
5	A woman who stabbed herself and told police she had been kidnapped, stabbed and raped by her ex-husband and two other men, was charged with filing a false report. THIS. This is why I hate it when people claim that punishing false accusers deters real victims from coming forward. Not only is their conception entirely wrong, but spreading their false conception is likely to deter real victims!	/r/MensRights	28/03/14 07:05 PM
2	Utah Coach had to hire a private investigator to prove false rape claims, police don't care, of course accuser is not charged Okay, thank you. I didn't know what charges are what, so your clarification is appreciated.	/r/MensRights	27/03/14 11:00 PM
4	I was hit by my wife and I am the bad guy Dude, get the restraining order. If it comes down to a legal battle regarding which one of you is violent and abusive, you need that restraining order to prove that it's her. In the court of public opinion, and maybe even in the real courts, without that restraining order she will win.	/r/MensRights	27/03/14 09:31 PM
8	Utah Coach had to hire a private investigator to prove false rape claims, police don't care, of course accuser is not charged Please no. Our justice system's doctrine of innocent until proven guilty means that accused persons must be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Automatic charges would mean that real crime victims would be charged with perjury in every case where there simply wasn't enough evidence to convict the criminal. The accused, if found not guilty, should be able to charge the accuser. However, he should definitely have to choose to bring those charges, and his accuser should also have to be proven g…	/r/MensRights	27/03/14 09:21 PM
8	Utah Coach had to hire a private investigator to prove false rape claims, police don't care, of course accuser is not charged No. A verdict of "not guilty" is not the same as "innocent." Not guilty means that the accused could not be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; it does not mean that the accused is certainly innocent and the accuser must have been lying. Automatic charges against the accuser if the accused is found not guilty would be absolutely horrendous. This would mean that every case must be decided one way or the other, with either the accused or the accuser being convicted of something! In a world whe…	/r/MensRights	27/03/14 09:09 PM
2	Feminists Outraged After Female Author Writes Book Encouraging Women to 'Get Married and Be Submissive' Based on Bible Becomes a Hit in Europe I bet you didn't even know the bible is almost a direct plagiarism of the Torah. You mean this Torah? The Torah that literally is part of the bible? With regard to your claim that nothing in the bible is original, I'll believe that if you show me the older texts that teach the same things. With regard to everything else about your comment...maybe people would be more inclined to listen to you if you weren't spewing insults like this is a fucking grade-school confrontation.	/r/TheRedPill	23/03/14 07:27 AM
8	The Ultimate Craigslist W4M Personal Ad That sixth one, holy fuck. "I'm gorgeous, so you must be educated, kind, affectionate, unselfish, honest, confident, passionate, caring, handsome, considerate, intelligent, charming, funny, young, vibrant, respectful, religious, not an asshole, ambitious, liberal-minded, car owner, funny, no felonies, no STDs, not shy, not too aggressive, good personality, and cute."

2	"Primary-school education is a crock, basically. It's oppressive to anyone with physical energy, especially guys," pointing to an obvious example: the way schools have cut recess. "They're making a toxic environment for boys. Primary education does everything in its power to turn boys into neuters." There's a huge difference between believing that gender norms are social constructs and that gender as a whole is a social construct. I believe that some gender norms are social constructs. Mainly, I believe that the fear of going against gender norms is a social issue, and that if someone wants to do a job or has a hobby that is predominantly the domain of the opposite gender, that's entirely alright and shouldn't be discouraged. People should be allowed to do what they want, provided it doesn'…	/r/MensRights	17/03/14 04:54 AM
6	The art of persuasion in 59 Seconds. Like /u/quantum_esq said, it seems that sometimes women want something but don't want to say that they want it. Or perhaps they just want you to take the initiative. Obviously, if she says no and her actions/body language also say no, don't push something. However, if she says no but her actions are strongly contradicting her words, maybe she just doesn't want to say yes. I don't know why people can't be straightforward, but it appears to be hardwired into us to play the mating game by hiding ou…	/r/seduction	22/02/14 08:32 PM
6	The art of persuasion in 59 Seconds. So far as I know it's just a joke. I can't imagine a woman not wanting (insert act here) but being okay with just the tip.	/r/seduction	22/02/14 08:28 PM
8	(Bottom half of article) A sexual assault awareness campaign that actually encourages women to protect themselves, as opposed to viewing men as potential rapists Yet chock full of absolutely ridiculous "facts" about sexual assault.	/r/MensRights	10/02/14 04:50 AM
2	Feminist suggests that famous men should be denied the right of a jury trial when accused of sexual offences. I'm pretty sure that's what he meant (that is, "if someone claims they've been raped"), and he just misspoke.	/r/MensRights	08/02/14 06:14 AM
6	Because objectification is absolutely dandy if you do it to men. Actually, the woman writing articles about swimmers' abs is the exact same woman who's writing complaints about gratuitous ass shots. http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/1te1fg/because_objectification_is_absolutely_dandy_if/ce73qzv Both articles are from jezebel. "Someone at NBC Apparently Approved This Creepy, Porny Video of Female Olympians" and "Fifty Strokes of Gay: The Wonderfully Weird World of Filthy Olympic Swimming Fanfiction" are the articles, both by the same author.

2	Let's see what happens... (x-post from imgur) First, whether or not I have actually been assaulted has no bearing on whether a boner is consent. Second, just because I personally have never been raped or otherwise sexually assaulted, it doesn't ever happen to other men? Learn to think please.	/r/MensRights	24/09/13 05:01 PM
2	Let's see what happens... (x-post from imgur) Seriously? Were you never a teenager? Back in high school I would get random boners on a daily basis. And even if I'm turned on and want sex, that does not necessarily mean that I'm turned on by and want sex with any of the women I happen to be around at the time.	/r/MensRights	24/09/13 04:46 PM
1	NZ woman rapes 13 year old boy: Cries in court, avoids jail, avoids a fine, can't be charged with rape She said the seriousness of her actions only dawned on her when the boy started to avoid her [...] O'Brien said the offending had "totally devastated" his client Pretty sure it wasn't consensual. Besides that, he was 13, i.e. a minor.	/r/MensRights	28/06/13 04:31 PM
1	Should have known better, but I wanted her to understand what she was really saying. Why not? There are 1.1 billion Facebook users who are active monthly, and more than half of those are active daily. I find it much harder to imagine that there wouldn't be anyone using such language on Facebook.	/r/MensRights	10/06/13 08:05 PM
2	Should have known better, but I wanted her to understand what she was really saying. Here's what I reply to people who think the wage gap is real: According to the US Department of Labor, this 93-page study came to the "unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action. Indeed, there may be nothing to correct. The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male a…	/r/MensRights	10/06/13 07:32 PM
3	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo Okay, thank you.	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 05:26 AM
5	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo I don't understand where this quote says that the workplace should be changed because women's minds aren't good enough. It seems to me that I do not believe that women's internal barriers are the primary cause says the opposite: that women's minds are up to the task, but they choose not to pursue leadership roles because of the demands. Could you please explain?	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 04:33 AM
4	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo That quote I had no problem with, in fact I think it's likely true. But then she goes on to say that clearly the problem is the demands of leadership, and that we need to change those. Mmmkay Stacy, you get right on that.	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 04:28 AM
2	Yep, "ALL" victims... He's not saying that there shouldn't be separate places for male and female victims. He's saying that the facilities are not even close to equal.	/r/MensRights	02/03/13 06:58 AM
4	Askreddit thread asks "what's the worst thing you've ever been accused of?". Thread EXPLODES with false rape allegations. Seriously? I've read a couple dozen (so far) and not a single one fits your sarcastic description. If you're going to make comments like this, back them up.	/r/MensRights	10/01/13 03:18 AM
1	My experience in Target Wow, I didn't even notice that difference. I was referring to the fact that one says "no one" and the other says "nobody." The perils of speed reading, folks.	/r/MensRights	08/11/12 05:36 AM
1	My experience in Target This is an interesting view. I once read that the riskiest thing you can do is try to avoid all risks. When you shut yourself away from anything you deem risky, you're not really living.	/r/MensRights	07/11/12 01:16 PM
1	My experience in Target I strongly disagree. You're saying that least risky = most wise. This is not necessarily true. Wisdom in this case is using your judgement to determine the best course of action. If OP believes that bringing the child to the front is the morally right thing to do, he may decide that ensuring the child's safety is worth the risk of false accusations. Thus, helping the child is the wisest decision for him.	/r/MensRights	07/11/12 05:20 AM

Retirement age was set at 65: (1) An age requirement of more than sixty-five years, except that the plan may impose, effective until January 1, 1940, an age requirement of as much as seventy years The program was only intended to support the extremely small percentage of the population who lived several years past the average life expectancy.

Perhaps ch4os1337 badly worded his comment or misspoke, and admittedly there are people who believe that there's no such thing as climate change. Still, everyone I know personally who doesn't believe global warming is a big deal believes two main things, which leads me to believe that the majority of people who don't jump for climate change prevention also believe these two things: The majority of climate change is due to natural processes, not humans.

13	I'm a woman, and I'm on your side. I strongly agree with your second point. For me, it's things like men receiving far stricter sentences for crimes, paying more child support, rarely getting custody of kids in divorces, and the like that strike a nerve. That and women who claim that men have no disadvantages, or that any that are present are still our fault.
