| 2 | r/menslib user doesn’t understand why he hates himself and other men. It almost like feminist ideology is toxic for men.Perhaps one day this bloke will wake up to the fact that women are human too, and that whatever he's been taught about men is mostly secondhand rubbish (but may contain some truths). A (sym)pathetic soul might wish him a gentle awakening: I hope he wakes up to the truth with a really startling event. Why? Not because I wish ill on this chap, but because the lessons that last longest are often those that are hardest learnt.

| 11 | Why the fuck is Circumcision still legal?My standard response to all these "debates" about male circumcision is this: 1) If any male over the age of consent chooses to be circumcised of his own volition because he wants to align with this religion or that culture, I have no problem with it; 2) Consequently, barring a serious medical condition, there is no justification whatsoever for hacking bits off infant boys (and extremely sensitive bits at that).

Women actually attempt suicide more but are less successful 1) Source please. 2) Let me guess - women are less successful because toxic patriarchy (or something) prevents them from being as successful as men. Women tend to use methods with less violent means because they think about whoever might find them Claptrap. 1) How many successful suicides have you interviewed re: what they thought about the effect … | /r/MensRights | 10/12/19 11:41 AM |

| 1 | Douglas Murray | Bret Weinstein's DarkHorse Podcast #5I can imagine the chorus: "WTF does this have to do with mens' rights?" Here's the thing: the rights that boys and men have (or do not have) do not occur in a vacuum. IMO this discussion is quite valuable in any attempt to understand why 'Western' (and several 'Eastern') cultures no longer value men nor our (largely) workable traditions (The Enlightenment, the rationale behind scientific enquiry, the technology that enables Feminist Mathematics). Both of these people are IMO worth listening to: … | /r/MensRights | 18/10/19 01:24 PM |
| 2 | Enough Talk, More Action | "the silent majority needs to give politicians the courage to stand up against feminist activists " | Bettina ArndtThe Feminist movement has spent some decades building momentum (and TBF decades ago there were issues that women faced that needed addressing). The problem (or one of them) is that their narrative has become the mainstream opinion, much of it supported as the default one by the apathy of nearly everyone who isn't involved in gender politics.

| 1 | Why feminism will not be the movement to address men's issuesUntil men decide that it's worth threatening or realizing revolution to make that root condition change Yes, but: 1) gynocentrism (esp. among men); 2) generally men exhibit much less in-group preference than women (partly a corollary of higher levels of competitiveness between males). This isn't to say that a large enough minority of blokes at certain times in certain places couldn't cause a significant shift, just that it's unlikely IMO. | /r/MensRights | 16/05/19 06:50 AM |

Many (most?) women chase the top 10% of men (however you measure that). Men have two choices: get used to it, or drop out.

So, it wasn't about the more violent nature of men, even when killing themselves, after all.Just because women are diagnosed more doesn't mean men don't suffer more. It just means men are not diagnosed as much as women [...] and there's no way to prove the second without men actually being diagnosed. Exactly.

| 1 | Bettina Arndt on today’s sex starved husbandsI often wake up in a morning and lie wishing I had someone who would just give me a hug and tell me things are ok. If it's any consolation, you're not alone - I occasionally have the same stabs of loneliness myself. Oh, and long-term depression as well. Which is a bitch and no mistake. It is, however, possible to get some of that much-needed support from close friends, and it helps me to remember that however shit my life appears to be and sometimes is, I could be a lot worse off. | /r/MensRights | 05/07/17 09:44 AM |

Your restrictive options ignore the obvious: that male infants who went through indescribable pain become circumcised adults with AIDS. spreading of STIs can be mitigated by circumcision.

Given that males are taught from an early age that it's "wrong" to hit a girl, and that girls are less likely to be taught the same about hitting boys, how much do those learned behaviours affect the data cited?

| 3 | No Longer Cutting It: Backlash Against Circumcision Is Growingit felt like more people had been in the recovery room pressuring me to agree to a circumcision than had been there to provide after-care for the baby & me following a birth that was labeled "traumatic" & "emergency" The one aspect of this ritual infliction of (largely) unnecessary excruciating pain on a male infant that most bothers me is that the case for it is, at best, equivocal (barring obvious medical necessity, that is).

Similarly, to question the existence of male privilege is also a form of balance as bias because it is an indisputable fact that women remain at obvious disadvantage. Indeed, according to the World Economic Forum, at current rates of progress, the gender gap will not be eliminated until 2095.

Just power. They go out of their way to dismiss mens issues because to them they dont really matter."There is a tendency to tie all goodness a theology Or a political ideology - it makes no difference in the final analysis, since both thrive on converting as many of the Great Unwashed to the Cause as possible. Propaganda is as much part of global theologies as political ones. Like any widespread political/ theological movement, Feminism has its credo, its True Believers, its sacred texts and its missionaries, not to forget its Faithful. And, likewise, it has spent a lot of time, effort and mone… | /r/MensRights | 18/04/17 08:52 AM |
| 2 | The naked truth about marriage in the 21st centuryThere's got to be a word or term for this sort of neurosis. Some of it is depression. Get a clinical diagnosis and then get medical help. I can hear the state of mind you're describing, it's one I've been in myself. Do it. | /r/PussyPass | 18/04/17 08:41 AM |
| 2 | The naked truth about marriage in the 21st centuryHonestly - dogs are the absolute business when it comes to companionship. Look after them and they will never be anything other than loyal and steady. | /r/PussyPass | 18/04/17 08:38 AM |
| 1 | And once again feminists shift the goal posts to still be victims of domestic violence. Now without violence or actual abuse.You still can be abused without being beaten. It is not domestic violence though The definition of what constitutes DV varies between legislatures. Nonetheless, you are right - psychological abuse is abuse, period. And its effects can be much longer-lasting than even broken bones. | /r/MensRights | 18/04/17 08:27 AM |
| -1 | And once again feminists shift the goal posts to still be victims of domestic violence. Now without violence or actual abuse.I don't know that I'd go as far as saying "more men are victims..." since nobody really knows (because psychological abuse is both hard to define and is in any case significantly under-reported). But it is certainly true that men are at least as likely to be subject to it as women. And, as others have said umpteen times, there are no obvious bruises. | /r/MensRights | 18/04/17 08:23 AM |

| 10 | Woman punches man at Trump rally. Man punches her back. Media reports it as him sucker punching her. Only explanation to describe it as a "sucker punch" is her believing that she wouldn't get hit back.They both showed up to a brawl, ... he's no hero and she's no victim. That's about my take on this too. I've been on many demos over the years, thankfully none of them got nastier than some verbal with some opposers. But had any of them started to get nasty, my instinct (and that of anyone with their brains wired up right) would be to GTFO fast. Yes, I accept that sometimes innocent people can get caught up in the middle of something by accident, but I don't get that that's what happened here. | /r/MensRights | 18/04/17 07:48 AM |
| 3 | Unhinged feminist YouTuber calls on women to 'kill all male babies' #killallmen has been a feminist slogan for a while now. she's only "deranged" in that she's explicit."We created this hashtag to troll MRAs and anti-feminists who think bad things about feminism that simply aren't true." That has the sniff of truth about it (though it isn't clear where you got the quote from). Some might take her views as serious (= web hits = profit!), some might assume it's parody (= more webhits = more profit), whereas it's much more likely there's another agenda (or maybe more than one). It's trashy, poorly organised, and created in bad faith. She obviously thinks very poor… | /r/MensRights | 18/04/17 07:35 AM |
