3	Oh silly me. I thought she had raped him. With him being 11 and all. You're entitled to your opinions. But I'd challenge you on the same thing that you're calling him out on: blasting a different group of people that you may or may not be aligned with. I can appreciate your distain for politics - I've skipped more elections out of disgust than I care to admit. But that doesn't mean I have the right to malign and denigrate those who's views I don't agree with. As men we need to show the world a better example.	/r/MensRights	28/06/17 11:19 PM
7	Oh silly me. I thought she had raped him. With him being 11 and all. Can i ask why you bringing Trump into this? I support gay rights, men and women's rights, equality and our current President. I can't figure out why you are saying "you are not supported here. This is not a Trump sub... I agree, his comment was not welcome, but what does Trump have to do with it? Why denigrate approx half the country that voted for him when I can't even see why that's a point to be brought up? Edit: can --> can't	/r/MensRights	28/06/17 10:16 PM
1	Perfect I think the difference is summed up by the adage "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me". Obvious to anyone, words still hurt and cut us, but they don't break bones like physical abuse does. Emotional abuse is real and causes some serious harm (I've been a victim) but I know that it's not the same as physical abuse. Emotional/verbal abuse should NEVER be tolerated, but because someone passes along their abuse to me by calling me a "dumb ass" or a "nazi", doesn't equa…	/r/MensRights	14/06/17 06:11 PM
1	Perfect And there you go again, turning this into a domestic abuse argument so you can virtue signal your superiority. I said above, violence should never be tolerated and what we're discussing has nothing to do with that - they're worlds apart. But since you're conflating the two, I can only guess that you've been a victim of both. If that's the case, I want you to know that you're precious and whatever happened wasn't your fault. As one human to another, I'm sorry for your pain and I wish you all the …	/r/MensRights	14/06/17 05:04 PM
1	Perfect I find that sad. We can be better than that.	/r/MensRights	13/06/17 04:59 AM
2	Perfect You're clearly reading your own bias into what I said. I'm not calling anyone anything and never would. Friends of color or not. And I'm not defending my friend for saying that - I called him a racist to his face when he said why he got fired. What I'm saying is that this culture of ruining someone's life without even trying to tell them that they hurt you is actually making our society into polar opposites. We've got to be better than that. People need to know their strength (i.e. having the in…	/r/MensRights	13/06/17 04:56 AM
1	Perfect I know, but I wouldn't. I'd have an open conversation with that person who hurt me and see if they're receptive. If they aren't then report to HR. But if they are, then society is all the better off and I haven't ruined someone's life over it "because I'm right".	/r/MensRights	13/06/17 04:10 AM
1	Perfect I hear you, I do. I'd never say anything as insensitive to anyone. My point is that talking to the offender and being honest about the hurt it caused can actually help that person see you as a human being and make them better in the process. If they hear you. If they don't, then yeah - report them to HR. But don't go running to HR with every little thing that strikes you as insensitive because you could wreck someone's life just for a word they use. Morally and ethically the words like fg, N wor…	/r/MensRights	13/06/17 04:03 AM
1	Perfect I didn't make the insensitive comment. Reread my original post. I'm saying that if someone says something hurtful it's better to have an open conversation with them before ruining their life by reporting them to HR. The whole "get them fired" is straight out of the feminist handbook and something we are trying to avoid. If the person is unrepentant then yeah, report to HR, but as experience has taught me, many people become a lot nicer when you tell them that you've hurt them instead of getting …	/r/MensRights	13/06/17 03:56 AM
1	Perfect Hang on, I didn't say it was right. Am I'm a lot more sensitive than to call someone a faggot. I have practicing Muslim friends, orthodox Jews as friends, Christians, atheist, etc. All who consider me to be extremely sensitive and one of their closest "white" friends. What I'm saying is that it's horribly wrong to get someone fired out of an insensitive joke. TALK to the offender first - if they're a complete asshole and defending their comment, then take it to HR. But give a person the benefit …	/r/MensRights	13/06/17 03:51 AM
9	Perfect I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but a friend got fired for saying "fag" jokingly to a coworker who had just come out (but my friend didn't know). If a coworker called me a white cracker (and I am a white guy) I wouldn't get her/him fired over it. If bothered me enough, I'd talk to that coworker.	/r/MensRights	12/06/17 10:24 PM
174	Why work when you can try riding the pussypass everyday? If I wasn't already married and supporting a wife and kids I'd ask where I could sign up.	/r/PussyPassDenied	14/03/17 03:52 PM
