| 0 | Domestic violence ad to be aired during superbowlWhen I first saw the 'No More' ads I looked at the website and found surprisingly gender-neutral wording, as well as significant recognition that men and boys can be victims as well. I hope they've kept that sort of approach on their website. The simple fact is, domestic violence does affect us all, and sometimes that will be a woman needing help. I don't see a problem with it unless it's worded as if men are always the perpetrator. | /r/MensRights | 29/01/15 11:00 PM |

Frankly, you could drop the 'feminism' here and have the same argument. Women need realize that 'feminism', as a concept, is not armor you put on to deflect the realities of life; that is that "different people will view [you] as embodying different forms of [being human]".

But the point of this entire dumb thread was that you seem to think that men are the ones committing 'the bulk of' the violence.

| 1 | So this is what the Feminists at my school are up toNo, I did. You're not thinking this through. Just because "40% of victims reported to the police are male" does not at all mean that men are single-handedly beating women 60% of the time. Read the CDC study I replied with, that explains everything. | /r/MensRights | 08/12/14 02:54 PM |
| 1 | So this is what the Feminists at my school are up toYou're confusing "causes more damage" with how frequently violence occurs. Which wouldn't be an issue if you didn't say something as easily disprovable as "man-on-woman violence is more frequent". The fact is, your links do not prove frequency but injury. And, as this study shows, the largest predictor of injury is not, at all, if it's a man beating a woman - but if both partners are mutually violent. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1854883/ | /r/MensRights | 08/12/14 06:02 AM |

You said 60% of domestic violence is man on woman; this cannot possibly be true; studies show half of all domestic violence is mutual, and the other half is almost evenly split (man->woman, woman->man). At most any given one-sided violence can only possibly be 25%. You can quit pulling statistics out of your ass. But you can definitely fuck right off trying to say I've claimed anything about being "oppressed". Doubly so for coming here spouting shit like me… | /r/MensRights | 05/12/14 10:55 PM |

So now you come here, knowing that women are capable of violence. You've seen that women's actions very much can hurt men. What does this now mean to you? Can we convince you to talk to others about what you've done, and how that's shown you a glimmer of truth in what we want changed? The reality of domestic violence as it relates to women is not what you've been told - it's not the 'wife beater' putting his poor innocent wife in the hospital.

| 1 | Emma Watson called out in the New York PostI will agree women have, in the grand scheme of things, less equality worldwide. You - and they - should also be willing to agree that men have, in the grand scheme of things, always paid for that in blood and sweat. Wars have been fought by almost exclusively men. Cities have been built by almost exclusively men. Science has been advanced by almost exclusively men. And that's not to diminish that women haven't had their own sweat and effort put into society - they most certainly have. But it is… | /r/MensRights | 30/09/14 02:08 PM |
| 96 | Emma Watson called out in the New York PostWhy don't you start with the wording of HeForShe's pledge. I didn't have a ton of problems with her speech, had some great mentions of our issues as well, until she ended it all with discarding the notion that feminism could help us and then basically tossed the words 'gender equality' right into the fire. And then you go to the website she's hawking, and realize that they're pitching "gender equality" by only addressing the plight of women and girls. That's pretty clear, right? I mean, you get … | /r/MensRights | 30/09/14 02:33 AM |
| 6 | (f) New to MRA. I am not a default victim. I am an adult and should be held accountable for my own actions.It's a tough one, for sure. There are different edits of the film, some with better resolution. Interestingly, most edits cut out the very first strike, which is very clear, and very much from janay. This not only happens before they get into the elevator, but you can CLEARLY see he's just standing around, minding his own business on his cell phone, and she just walks up to him and backhands him. I say minding his own business with the caveat that I haven't heard audio yet, I don't know if he sa… | /r/MensRights | 12/09/14 09:11 PM |
| 1 | Have Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian broken the law?If the threats were real they would investigate them. Here, in your own words, you imply that because there is no investigation, the threats must not be real. Because "If the threats were real they would investigate them." So, I say again, yes, you HAVE said an investigation is evidence that the threats were real. | /r/MensRights | 04/09/14 05:50 PM |
| 3 | Have Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian broken the law?You started with false equivalency, and now you've just moved the goalposts from "what the FBI will investigate" to "what someone will report", on the topic of "investigation == evidence". | /r/MensRights | 02/09/14 04:56 PM |
| 1 | Have Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian broken the law?I really hope our "Serve and Protect" justice system isn't wasting our tax money chasing every pimple-faced teenager making threats online. But even at that, you should know better. If "police investigation" is evidence, then all the un-investigated domestic assault that men undergo is right out the window. We made it up, right? Because the police ignored us? Come on. This isn't a good argument at all. | /r/MensRights | 02/09/14 03:57 PM |
| 3 | Have Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian broken the law?Do we really not see the difference here? The leaked photos is a hack of iCloud, a major cloud storage site fromAPPLE. There's serious corporate interests involved here; hacking a company that many, many people use always gets attention of the cybercrime divisions. Anita's harassment is a drop in the bucket. If you believe it's true, or don't believe it's true (I'm squarely undecided) you've got to be able to see that the FBI isn't going to have any reason to pursue it either way, the same way y… | /r/MensRights | 02/09/14 01:59 PM |
| 2 | My school's pamphlet on domestic violence. Is there something wrong with this or am I overreacting?I wouldn't say 'no mention'. "Not exclusively" women - is men. All other concerns about it being too slanted ('majority of victims') are valid, can't say it's the worst offender I've seen though. | /r/MensRights | 21/05/14 01:03 AM |
| 1 | What are your views on "slut shaming"? [F]I think people believe men care about the number. It's true, some (maybe many) insecure men do care about how many women their partner has been with. It's important to note this is a different issue than 'slut-shaming'. Probably deserves it's own discussion, too. And that's a feeling that I think I'd accept it is males problem to fix. Slut shaming is, as noted in this thread, more often a female-on-female problem. Guys do it sometimes too, but the root cause is different. Women - it's a competit… | /r/MensRights | 20/03/14 04:51 PM |
| 0 | Asking someone to stop sleeping around is rape culture. (xpost from /r/Tumblrinaction)That message isn't falling on deaf ears, though... and petty attacks on feminism isn't making the 'legbeard' claims sound unfounded. We should be better at this. | /r/MensRights | 19/03/14 03:23 PM |
| 1 | If "no means no", then what does "yes" mean?No, the subject was where the line is drawn between coercion and negotiation. If you have been empowered to say no, and you still say yes to receive some benefit, you haven't been coerced. You can't accept money for sex and then claim rape; you were complicit in prostitution. Now, that said, coercion by definition is a threat, and certainly in the workplace, quid pro quo is a threat. But it's also a threat where the benefit of the doubt is on the employee being threatened, and even opens paths t… | /r/MensRights | 10/03/14 03:18 PM |
| 3 | If "no means no", then what does "yes" mean?I didn't at all say more immediate. I said it is not immediate. When there are multiple avenues of escape, picking the one where you knowingly consent to sex really weakens a claim that consent didn't exist. Go call your lawyer, and have a nice meeting with HR. | /r/MensRights | 06/03/14 11:43 PM |
| 5 | If "no means no", then what does "yes" mean?When people are not aware that the law protects them against something like this -->I sympathize with those people who have lived under a rock the past three decades... I do. I'm sure their blindness is also a pretty difficult thing to get over, what with having to have someone guide you to the clock to punch in at, the one that has all the workplace harassment notices above it in large letters that the rest of us can see. "have sex with me now or I kill you tomorrow" -->Is not only not immediat… | /r/MensRights | 06/03/14 10:33 PM |
| 10 | If "no means no", then what does "yes" mean?Yes, but you completely missed the point - ignorance of the law is not a valid legal defense. Holding a gun to someone's head is immediate. If you said to me that someone held a gun to your head and told you to have sex with them, that's clearly rape. But a boss takes you in the office and tells you you have to have sex with him - unless there's some reason you cannot walk out that door and march your ass to HR you do not have a rape. You have several outs - and no, they aren't great, but the la… | /r/MensRights | 06/03/14 07:42 PM |
| 0 | Tumblr Delivers Pt. 2I love this stupid libertarian belief in self-sufficiency. You'll pay cash. So, you have $50K in the bank? Oh, you mean you'll sell your car? Oh, no, that was in the car wreck too - and you didn't have car insurance, did you? So, sell your house? I expect that when you're hobbling out of the hospital after your leg was amputated for the car wreck (wasn't your fault, but hey - no fault state!) and you realize that you are homeless, out of a job because hey, no leg, and need a place to stay... wel… | /r/MensRights | 06/03/14 07:30 PM |
| 10 | If "no means no", then what does "yes" mean?I would want to know why someone would go through with actually having intercourse to keep their job - instead of reporting it. In some ways I would see that as entrapment; you've got this boss on the hook for one violation - but milk it out and go for a charge of rape? It's not rape to proposition someone, nor is it rape to suggest their job is dependent on intercourse. Agreeing to that intercourse is a terrible idea; and claiming that in this day and age a person would be unable to report it a… | /r/MensRights | 06/03/14 06:45 PM |
