| 1 | One of the First Women in the Infantry Will Be Discharged From the Marines for FraternizationI think I like that better. Promise makes it seem a bit more explicit, but trust is more all-encompassing. I may not promise my boyfriend/girlfriend I'll be monogamous, but I could still violate their trust. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 14/09/18 02:03 PM |
| 36 | One of the First Women in the Infantry Will Be Discharged From the Marines for FraternizationI mean, I lose respect for people who break their promises, and adultery is contingent on the breaking of a promise. Of course, breaking promises isn't universally "wrong", but there is no objective "wrong", is there? It's all relative to a certain system. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 13/09/18 01:16 PM |
| 3 | Woman hangs a toddler and runs over 2 people with a van, judge blames abuse by husband, gives her probationWhich means that if she's mentally ill enough to kill people, for the sake of the public and herself, she must be sent to at least a psychatric ward. Looks like a 10-year probation with mandatory psychological treatment. | /r/MensRights | 19/08/18 03:15 PM |
| 1 | men feel less judged by other men? lets judge em for thatI've typically noticed that men seemed to be less understanding of their male friends who listened to girly music than women. I'm fairly comfortable with my taste in music, but I've bonded with a fair number of jock-ish guys over less-than-masculine music in the past. And even when they do crack jokes, it's usually a gateway to talk about their odd favorites. I'm thinking men hiding this stuff from women may have more to do with insecurities about sex, and not necessarily because their girlfrien… | /r/MensRights | 10/06/18 05:21 PM |
| 2 | Are all finances shared? If the shoe were on the opposite foot, would you feel the same?The gender is certainly irrelevant, sure. That's why we were discussing hypothetical wives earlier and my position didn't change. I grant that just 'boyfriend' status doesn't necessarily mean they're not trying to make a life together. It's not necessarily true, but I think it's a fair assumption to make given no further information. And I'm not saying that the money isn't life-changing, I'm saying that it's not her right to know, and he's not deceitful for withholding it.

| 9 | Are all finances shared? If the shoe were on the opposite foot, would you feel the same?AIDS isn't exactly a fair comparison though, is it? If your sexual partner has AIDS, it is necessarily your business, and not disclosing it has serious harmful repercussions. An investment account with a large sum of money? Not even the same ballpark. I can respect that it's a big deal for you, but I wouldn't consider this to be my business. Maybe if we're trying to create a life/home together, but in the scenario above he's just the boyfriend, so I'm at least dubious. | /r/MensRights | 18/05/18 04:34 AM |

This would be a bad change for employees as a whole. 2) Employers should automatically consider promotion They already do. 3) Consider more women for internal promotions They should promote the best person for the job, regardless of gender.

| 38 | men feel less judged by other men? lets judge em for thatI found another source for this story (archive). The core of it's the same, but that highlighted text is slightly different: The men also reported feeling less judged by their close male friends than by their girlfriends. One participant commented: "Tim knows I love listening to Taylor Swift and Beyonce, but I keep that quiet [around my girlfriend] because she would judge me. I feel like I have to be more manly around her." Sounds like fragile masculinity to us. I think that puts the final remar… | /r/MensRights | 12/05/18 05:37 PM |

| 8 | The naked truth about vibratorsIt addition to the other comments you've received, it's important to note that Sarkeesian is basically just the modern day Jack Thompson, but where he argued video games make us violent, she argues they make us sexist. And her arguments carry the same flaws as his did. I won't be so naive as to say her feminism is irrelevant, but to suggest it's the primary or even a major component of the reaction against her is frankly ignorant. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 04/05/18 05:59 PM |

| 2 | TIL: When feminist Susan Brownmiller was asked for evidence supporting her claim that feminist censorship would stop rape, she replied "The statistics will come. We supply the ideology; it's for other people to come up with the statistics."the reason women have much larger breasts than our closest relatives (chimpanzees, gorillas) is because humans are more sexual in nature, more sexual all year round, have more erogenous zones etc. I'm not too sure about this. Bonobos are fairly closely related and much more sexually 'liberal', yet do not have persistently enlarged breasts. You also need to consider that there is no correlation between 'normal' breast size and milk production. That, and give our 'litter size', humans don't exactl… | /r/MensRights | 22/04/18 04:34 PM |

| 2 | I guess this where we’re at now. “Men are scary. End of story”I wish you would have lead with that, because it's a very different statement from your original statement. And with this I agree wholeheartedly, so it seems there's nothing more to say. Have a wonderful day! | /r/MensRights | 11/04/18 01:07 AM |
| 4 | I guess this where we’re at now. “Men are scary. End of story”I'm going to link to the other comment I wrote on this. But I'll still address you in particular. No one thinks it's inherently wrong to have fears, and ones fears might be quite valid (as yours are). But there is a distinction to be made between "I'm scared of men" and "Men are scary," right? That's really the core point here. | /r/MensRights | 11/04/18 12:34 AM |
| 6 | I guess this where we’re at now. “Men are scary. End of story”I'd say it's the framing that's the issue. It's not wrong for someone to have fears, but they aren't attributing it to themselves. They're attributing it to the other. It's no more reasonable to say "men are scary" as it is to say "Jews are scary". It's more reasonable to say "I'm scared of men" and then we can talk about why. Perhaps it's even justified (abuse) but that doesn't make men inherently worthy of fear. Additionally, there's the comment by "nutriecutie".

| 1 | Male teacher gets 5 years in prison for hugging 1 student- women who have sex multiple times with mutiple students rarely see the inside of a prison let alone 5 years.The headline of the article itself is good. "Iowa Supreme Court: 'Hugs can constitute sexual conduct' for teachers" The title of this post is not. He was not imprisoned simply for hugging a child. There was a greater context that suggests grooming. Granted he was given a worse sentence for grooming than a woman likely would have, but at least that's an apples-to-apples comparison. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/18 07:25 PM |
| 2 | Male teacher gets 5 years in prison for hugging 1 student- women who have sex multiple times with mutiple students rarely see the inside of a prison let alone 5 years.And hugs are a bad thing as a male. This particular story aside, this is a sad reality, but it's definitely reality. I've heard male teachers say they never close their door when with a student, and if they're with a female they always call in a third party. There's concern, and then there's this, and this is just terrible. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/18 04:00 PM |

The MRM's got a bad enough rep already; no reason to add fuel to the fire. But I don't disagree with anything you've said. Just wanted to be absolutely clear :) Edit: It would be better to say "The MRM is viewed unfavourably". There is no earned bad reputation, it's just what it is. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/18 03:57 PM |

| 279 | Male teacher gets 5 years in prison for hugging 1 student- women who have sex multiple times with mutiple students rarely see the inside of a prison let alone 5 years."Wickes’s prison sentence is not simply punishing him for giving hugs to a student. Instead, his punishment reflects the fact that Wickes abused his position of trust as a teacher to sexually exploit a student for his own gratification," Zager wrote. I'm not saying there's no sentencing bias, but this case is clearly more complicated than a hug, and framing it as such is a misrepresentation. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/18 01:14 PM |

That seems like a pretty solid idea. Watered down drinks tend to gross me out, so it doesn't work for me, and even if they did I know that I respond better to total prohibitions.

| 1 | How to get banned from r/feminismI'm going to try using "multivaried analysis" and we'll see how well that flies. I'm not kidding either, nor am I going to try to get banned.

The generous view is that I'm simply pointing out how language is messy, and that the literal words we use aren't always what we mean.

Almost half are uncomfortable participating in a common work activity with a woman.I'm not making a judgement here (I've never seen the triple parentheses before) but just reading the Wikipedia summary, as soon as I read "alt-right" I immediately became suspicious that this is actually anti-semitic at all.

| 1 | More knowledge bombs over at r/blackpeopletwitterYou're approaching this from a very logical perspective. I've often been described as robotic, so that's very possible. Pro-choice women don't necessarily find it an easier choice Relatively they do. The pro-life advocates are saying that abortion is literally killing a child.

I just didn't see another solution to the issue given the precedence set with other assets. You're assuming pro-choice would easily want an abortion. Not easy, easier. That makes a huge difference.

| 1 | More knowledge bombs over at r/blackpeopletwitterFirst, a potential source of confusion I should have clarified earlier: For married couples, 'financial abortion' this is not an option. Children would be treated like cars or houses in that the marriage contract enforces rights/responsibility. 'Financial abortion' would come into place for unmarried couples.

As I have clarified, I'm talking about the opportunity of opting out. It seems clear to me that you're talking about the consequence of that decision.

| 1 | More knowledge bombs over at r/blackpeopletwitterThey also aren't rights. I misread your previous comment. That's on me. It could easily be argued that gender dimorphism should play a role. Men are predisposed to aggressive tendencies, so aren't they unfairly targeted? And sentencing severity is heavily based on the gender of the offender (this is frequently intentional on the part of the judges). It wouldn't be unexpected for our laws to be gendered, but they're not, and that's a good thing. The right to opt out of parenthood is just a blip t… | /r/MensRights | 14/02/18 01:16 AM |
| 1 | More knowledge bombs over at r/blackpeopletwitterNone, because outside of gestation sexual dimorphism is largely irrelevant. Not entirely true. A large portion of the gender wage disparity is attributed to differences in gendered behaviour. Men are more aggressive which means they negotiate higher. Separately, women are more agreeable; a trait which is generally paid less. These aren't considered irrelevant points.

| 1 | More knowledge bombs over at r/blackpeopletwitterSo fairness is the only thing that matters. From a legal perspective, yes. That is a foundational concept of our legal systems in the West. Biological inequality is not an argument against legal equality. The ability of a woman to end a pregnancy is about bodily autonomy, it has nothing to do with supporting a child, because at that time there is no child.

If she didn't want a child, she shouldn't have had sex. Either both sexes get a say post-conception, or neither do.

| 1 | More knowledge bombs over at r/blackpeopletwitterBy aborting the child, she is preventing herself from becoming a parent. That is what I mean by "opting out of parenthood". While a man shouldn't have control over a woman's body, what's wrong with giving them a similar right? As for the latter, safe haven laws differ from place to place, but generally because no questions are asked, the father of the child practically no say, and those caring for the child have no means to contact them. | /r/MensRights | 12/02/18 02:54 AM |
| 1 | More knowledge bombs over at r/blackpeopletwitterYes, but I don't see how that's a counterpoint. In a pregnant couple, the woman has the right to out out of parenthood but the father does not. After birth, the woman has the right to forfeit the child without consulting her partner. Do you disagree with anything I've said? | /r/MensRights | 12/02/18 01:29 AM |
| 2 | More knowledge bombs over at r/blackpeopletwitterNot really. What if the man doesn't want the child but the woman does? The child stays with her, and the financial burden stays with him. And the thing is, that's not even a bad thing, because if she has no support she's in trouble. But if you don't at least give the man the option to walk away in the beginning, then what you're literally saying is "Women get a say in their parenthood, but men get none."

| 9 | More knowledge bombs over at r/blackpeopletwitterIt's not made clear in the OP (to be fair it is a Tweet), but this is referring to parent rights before birth. Women have the right to opt out of parenthood (via abortion) but men have no such right. Once the woman is impregnated, the man's fate is entirely controlled by the woman. One solution is to allow men to opt out of parenthood while abortion is still an option. Another is to have men opt in. While this has its issues, it also solves things like undisclosed pregnancies. | /r/MensRights | 11/02/18 05:15 AM |

You essentially walked into a discussion about a men's issue and said "But what about women?" I would say you go a step too far on the rape front.

But men should also have this option. While abortion is an option, men should have the choice to opt out of parenthood, just as a women can. This would be more fair, and if a woman doesn't want to be a single mother it gives her time to abort if she'd like. It's not shirking responsibilities. It's not taking them on in the first place.

The labels just muddle the conversation. In regards to the abortion point, it's a tricky matter. Women should have final say when it comes to carrying a fetus, but I do think that men should have the ability to opt out of parenthood too.

I disagree. If someone believes something due to an emotional appeal, evidence rarely sways them, but if someone comes to a conclusion because of evidence, evidence to the contrary can and often does. As soon as you see that valid evidence is being dismissed by someone, you've determined that emotion plays more of a role in their position than evidence does.

It's absolutely a straw man to take the worst argument (that one obama tv ad) and say the entire wage gap is a myth because of it. That's a straw man again. The wage gap is largely due to discrimination, but not solely.

| 1 | Another Perspective on the Wage GapInterestingly, your statement on negotiation appears to be circumstantial. This study found that framing the situation a certain way (using "ask" instead of "negotiate") made women more likely to negotiate than men, though as you suggested men do typically negotiate more than women.

| 1 | Another Perspective on the Wage GapWhile women certainly have things to deal with, most of those things either don't have a bearing on one's wage, or have a negative effect on it. For example, menstruation sucks, and maternal leave means that one has spent less time with a company and thus a comparable colleague would have 1 year more experience than them.

| 1 | Another Perspective on the Wage GapActually, empirical evidence shows that the more factors you compensate for (such as the ones on the horse's back) the wage gap shrinks to the point where single childless women outearn their male counterparts.

Alice and Bob are single and live alone, which means they have to do their work, come home, and then maintain their home. That's just life.

| 1 | Another Perspective on the Wage GapIt's an exaggeration to make it seem like women have no burdens, but the point is that from the perspective of wages, men are getting the short end of the stick and thus it makes sense that they be compensated for it.

I would like to raise one point while I'm here. Negotiation is an interesting subject when it comes to gender disparity because the process does indeed favour men. Not only do they possess the traits that make them do better (eg. risk-taking tendencies) but they aren't viewed in a negative light for being more assertive, unlike women.

I appreciate that trauma is more than just emotion. We're in agreement on that. The thing about precedent is that with it, your argument has a strong basis, but without it, you have to make a stronger basis for yourself. | /r/MensRights | 20/09/16 12:10 AM |

She's being charged with "Providing a False Report to Law Enforcement." In other words, she's not getting charged for trying to ruin someone's life, but rather for wasting the law's resources. I just want an explicit law targeting people trying to ruin other people's lives. Just its presence would satisfy me. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 19/09/16 11:59 PM |

I believe I've read a few articles suggesting this. The difference is that the current system basically tells women that there is no consequence to making a false claim. Even in this case above, there was no problem with her accusing some of rape (which puts him in jail for roughly a decade). By putting in some consequence at all, it's saying "We actually care if you abuse the system." That's diffe… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 19/09/16 11:38 PM |

A single dad would have just as much use for it (minus a breast pump, I suppose). Meanwhile, the paternity test is little more than peace of mind and a deterrent/safety check for fraud.

Second, officers using excessive force and getting away with it is not commonplace. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but to act like that's the norm is extreme.

| 3 | That Time Screenshots Kept Me From Going To PrisonAn officer is allowed to treat a suspect as hostile, meaning they can lead them into certain conclusions. This is used because people are often reluctant to admit that they, say, murdered babies, so it's more practical to see if you can get them there. As far as I know, no evidence in a court of law can be used if the suspect was lead to that conclusion, unless the judge permits the lawyer to treat them as hostile, usually because they are being uncooperative. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 02/06/16 02:52 PM |
| 1 | That Time Screenshots Kept Me From Going To PrisonI don't quite know the rules, but I'm pretty sure the cops aren't supposed to do this.

As harsh as it is, I'd say that the burden lies on the woman; she is the one who will get pregnant, so she should be careful not to be in such a position.

| 1 | Just posting this to remind feminists visiting that we do not advocate the following.That's true; proof burdens should resolve this issue. Then again, our legal system has always been unabashedly sexist. Still, it'd be a step in the right direction at the least. The issue I'm seeing is that it's hard to prove something was said.

A man should not be held financially responsible against his will, nor should he be forced to create a child he doesn't want to. First of all, if a woman intentionally gets impregnated by a man (eg. lies about birth control) she should be reprimanded for it. In many cases, a man's emotions get the best of him, and he'll want to protect what's his, even though he didn't want that child in the first place. It's quite honestly emotional manipulation.

| 1 | Just posting this to remind feminists visiting that we do not advocate the following.In fairness, this is less of a legal battle and more of a medical challenge. Female birth control works because women essentially have an inbuilt mechanism that can be exploited. No such mechanism exists in men. Think about it like this: Women can only get pregnant in a certain window of time. Only around ovulation, and not while they're already pregnant either. Men, on the other hand, can always impregnate a woman (if she's ready). Oh, and by the way, you have to be really careful that no long … | /r/MensRights | 29/05/16 06:20 PM |

As I've said before, I understand why one would reciprocate violence, but we shouldn't condone it. People can walked away from fights, so we should strive for this.

| 6 | Whoopi Goldberg on The View: "Women have this idea that you can hit and punch on a man and you will get away with it, these days are gone"We should strive to be the best versions of ourselves, which sometimes requires us to stand down from confrontation. Martial arts and self-defence classes frequently teach that avoiding a fight is just as important as defending. If we are to talk equality, we need to drop gender from the equation. If anyone is struck, they should try to walk away from the conflict, but if the need arises, they should be willing and able to retaliate. It should by no means be a primary option though. | /r/MensRights | 06/03/16 07:36 PM |

Why does strength matter? Some women are stronger than some men, so by this logic it's alright to hit strong women, just not weak ones. I don't understand why this is even a discussion.
