2	Foul-mouthed feminist Clementine Ford has her priorities straight. She knows what's more important than male suicide, boys underperformance in schools and domestic violence. We're all just hoping a venomous snake or spider will get her. Or maybe a very annoyed emu.	/r/MensRights	28/10/16 04:02 AM

1	Men are not monsters: Last week three of my four boys were herded into school-sponsored assemblies and asked to stand, raise their hands and pledge to never, ever hurt a woman. Their female classmates weren’t required to make a similar pledge. If it bothers you, say something to her. Doesn't have to be in front of people the moment it happens (realistically, that's embarrassing for you both), but in private, bring it up and let her know. As much as this sub is full of stories about crazy narcissistic bitches, most men and most women are reasonable and decent. Chances are she thinks it's cute, has no idea that it bothers you and will stop if asked.	/r/MensRights	22/10/16 05:22 AM
2	Heatstreet reviews "The Red Pill" (Some spoilers) I resisted just outright saying "golden mean fallacy" because I feel that's a disservice to her. It's just an attitude I've picked up following her work. A lot of vaguely centrist liberal op-ed writers fall into the habit of almost religiously hedging on any topic even remotely controversial - I suspect so that if they are accused of being this or that they have something they can point to. I can sympathise with it because it must be infuriating trying to cover hot button shit with a degree of j…	/r/MensRights	21/10/16 10:28 AM
5	Girl attacks boy. Boy defends himself. Boy is ridiculed on Social Media for putting hands on a girl. This is the part about this subject that shits me the most. When there is a woman instigating the violence, even if you can get somebody to concede that physical retaliation from the man isn't entirely unjustified, you will nearly always hit the wall of "well, men are stronger and need to show restraint when dealing with a woman". I mean, maybe that's true but I'm not exactly a paragon of male physical strength but if I started shit with some tank gym rat and he punched my lights out for me, I g…	/r/MensRights	21/10/16 06:15 AM
3	Heatstreet reviews "The Red Pill" (Some spoilers) One thing I've noticed about Cathy Young over the past few years, despite liking a lot of her work, is that she is very much a subscriber to the idea of the "golden mean". Wherever there are 2 sides to an argument or problem they must necessarily be equivalent and the "truth" or "best outcome" or whatever must therefore necessarily be somewhere in the middle. I'm not sure if it's down to an unwillingness to commit, a desire for neutrality that overrides everything, a kind of forced magnanimity o…	/r/MensRights	21/10/16 05:49 AM
11	Why Google decided to focus on women with new emojis Emojis are srs bsns apparently. IME, women use them WAY more than men online anyway. Who cares.	/r/MensRights	21/10/16 04:16 AM
2	This makes me proud to be Australian, and it's hilarious: Male Liberal staffer 'pretended to be a woman' to win prized position He is incredibly blokey. Plays AFL. They all call each other 'the boys'. It's got no basis at all in fact." Excuse me, did you just fucking ASSUME this person's gender based on their interest in sport and failure to adhere to your patriarchal gender norms? It has "no basis in fact" just because this person doesn't live up to YOUR sexist notions of what a female should be? "I have received confirmation that [Mr] Fitton has attempted to notify the RO [returning officer] of his/their gender identit…	/r/MensRights	21/10/16 04:13 AM
5	Why is Australia suddenly under total control of SJWs? They lean more toward gender traditionalism, for sure. But when it comes to protecting the feelings of soft, helpless women and making sure they don't encounter anything that might give them a fainting spell, there ain't much difference between Stronk Independent Wymyn Feminist and a Victorian-era gentleman.	/r/MensRights	19/10/16 09:10 AM
2	Students told term 'be a man' represents toxic masculinity The common trope (that I agree with) is that somebody telling a male human to "be a man", "man up" etc. can more or less always be translated to "do something that we both know is contrary to your best interests"	/r/MensRights	19/10/16 02:04 AM
1	Victorian students to be taught about "male privilege" in mandatory new school subject. What happened to the image of Paul Hogan, Crocodile Dundee He fucked off to America with a massive tax bill he refused to pay.	/r/MensRights	14/10/16 07:45 AM
3	You just had to add misogyny in there I can't help but imagine transmisogyny as a state where you aren't actually a misogynist to begin with, but you identity as one and start transitioning to misogyny until you ideally reach a point where you can reliably pass as a misogynist in public.	/r/MensRights	08/10/16 05:50 AM
1	A problem at my place of work that I believe is sexist age Not always illegal. OP didn't say where he was, but in Australia, laws allow for young people in many jobs to be paid less, increasing up to the age of 21 (I think, that's what it was when I started working) when they start receiving the full rate. OPs situation could actually legally occur in this country if the girl in his post is older than him. I don't agree with it, but that's how it is in some places.	/r/MensRights	08/10/16 05:46 AM
1	Even SJWs occasionally recognise the Oppression Olympics as idiotic, but it still doesn't stop them hating on white men I see this mostly shared around in non-SJW leftist circles (yes, they do exist). AFAIK, the guy at the end does not represent "white men" or "patriarchy", he represents capital. The point is that while working class people are at each other's throats over petty identity politics instead of focusing on serious material issues, they end up beat up while the ruling class can profit unhindered.	/r/MensRights	05/10/16 07:59 AM
2	Saw this over on r/cringanarchy when was the last time you heard a right wing person rant about men the way leftists do Pretty much any time they talk about immigration	/r/MensRights	05/10/16 05:16 AM
1	So now this is a thing: "You have been automatically banned for participation in the following reactionary subreddits: mensrights, kotakuinaction, cringeanarchy, conspiracy, fatlogic, pussypassdenied" (/r/LateStageCapitalism subreddit) r/ LSC didn't used to be as bad as it is now. Even other internet leftists hate reddit leftists.	/r/MensRights	28/09/16 08:24 AM
5	David Leyonhjelm: It's time to admit the truth about domestic violence "The fight to end domestic violence has become a ridiculous political pantomime which we are meant to believe involves predatory, evil men who attack their helpless female victims." criticism of a partner’s appearance or housework skills housework skills?! Is this actually true? I can see one instance under "victim experiences" from a cursory search. If this actually does come under the law then would that mean that every wife who has complained about her husband not doing enough housework is guilty of domestic violence?	/r/MensRights	28/09/16 08:15 AM
10	Less then a year after Its creation, r/Menslib is declared and MRA soft sell. Let this be a lesson, any mention of mens issues is Apostasy to Feminism. Maybe. I try not to get too cynical about it. Some people do genuinely and in good faith (though mistakenly, IMO) believe that "feminism cares about men too". I'm not gonna shit all over them for it. Especially not when the actual feminists are in the process of doing just that already. I also think it's important that we don't get all messianic about it. The mainstream MRM - as far as such a thing exists - is not the only way, truth and light. People can come to understand these problems from o…	/r/MensRights	23/09/16 01:00 PM
57	Less then a year after Its creation, r/Menslib is declared and MRA soft sell. Let this be a lesson, any mention of mens issues is Apostasy to Feminism. My impression of menslib was that it was mostly lefties who genuinely cared about men and men's social issues but swallowed the "MRAs are reactionaries" thing because the left is SO entangled with establishment feminism that it can be extremely myopic on the subject. And they've probably just discovered that feminists don't really care about leftist principles and they don't care what you call yourself or how much you abase yourself and defer to them. If you genuinely want to talk about men as h…	/r/MensRights	23/09/16 08:40 AM
3	Feminists have already begun defending the 'Bowl of M&M's' analogy and declaring it different "for reasons" to the refugee 'Bowl of Skittles' analogy It is pretty hilarious watching SJW types losing their shit because they're encountering their mirror image (the "alt-right" or Trumpets or whatever) rolling around in the mud with them and have no idea how to respond. Except with impotent rage I guess. It's kinda like Alien V.S. Predator. Whoever wins, we lose - but it sure is quite a show.	/r/MensRights	23/09/16 05:44 AM
2	Got called a child rapist for no reason I saw /u/Azure9861 with the devil!	/r/MensRights	23/09/16 04:32 AM
1	Feminists love comparing men to poisoned M&Ms, but they're freaking out over this Depends. There's been plenty written about "toxic masculinity", even when the shooter isn't white, like the Pulse nightclub one. It's just that when it's a white shooter, you can attack "whiteness" (whatever that is) as well as masculinity, and that opportunity is too juicy for the Marcottes and Valentis of the world to pass up.	/r/MensRights	21/09/16 06:07 AM
4	Trump's child care plan. Gender-neutral tax cuts that would be huge for single fathers. I understand how you feel, but it's kind of inevitable that it will be discussed here. Not only because of the complete social saturation of any US presidential race, but especially when one of the candidates is running a campaign where a huge part of it is i have a vagina!!!!!!! and men are shit lol	/r/MensRights	14/09/16 09:06 AM
2	Why Our Suicide Prevention Strategies Are Failing To Stop Male Suicide It's interesting that even in something like this, its understood that you need to dehumanise men to make an impact. Men are tools - you don't get too upset when your hammer or your saw breaks. You get upset about what its costing you when your tool breaks and you lose productive time and have to pay to replace it. It's like Warren Farrell said - men are human doings, not human beings. We have value only when we are doing something to benefit somebody else.	/r/MensRights	10/09/16 05:22 AM
2	Boy sexually abused by a woman was diagnosed with PTSD and "became depressed, underperformed at school, and tried to numb his feelings with alcohol" I understand the sentiment, but there's really nothing to see here. This is the precise language of the charges as per the legislation. TV/radio/print news in Australia can and usually will use the exact same language when it is a male offender and an underaged female victim. Heard this exact language used in such an instance on the radio just this morning.	/r/MensRights	10/09/16 04:58 AM

1	How to fix "rape culture": Teach women to not throw their babies in the dumpster but I don't know that all of them grow up with a sense of what in fact constitutes harassment, assault, etc... That certainly may be the case, but this absolutely goes for girls also and there is little to nothing coming from schools, colleges or public education campaigns educating girls on what is or is not acceptable behaviour when dealing with boys and men. I could tell you endless stories about the kind of filth I've heard out of the mouths of girls and middle-aged women (who should know be…	/r/MensRights	09/09/16 07:02 AM
2	How to fix "rape culture": Teach women to not throw their babies in the dumpster This has been my experience also. You can talk about being sympathetic to ISIS and get less disgust and anger than posting about unique problems faced by men in our society. No amount of rational argument, presentation of data or deconstruction of propaganda makes a dent, at least in the short term. The visceral response to the idea of male vulnerability and "taking away" from female problems is just too strong. After losing friends and being ostracized from a significant portion of my extended …	/r/MensRights	09/09/16 06:25 AM
1	Why isn't feminism concerned about men's rights? I wonder how much is due to having painted themselves into a rhetorical corner since Seneca Falls. Because the feminist movement has never just said "women face unique problems in society". For ~150 years the bedrock of the movement has been "women face unique problems in society and MEN ARE THE CAUSE". So given that that is the foundation the entire movement is built on, you can see why even admitting men have their own unique problems is difficult and why even when they do, they will go throug…	/r/MensRights	07/09/16 08:49 AM
28	Barber shop for men only causes furore Saw this story pop up on fedbook and the vast majority of the comments were from women that the uproar was stupid and if women can have women-only gyms, pools, salons, etc etc then complaining about a men-only barber was crazy. When you're neck deep in gender politics it can sometimes seem like the whole world is full of assholes but just remember, the majority of people out there are decent and sane.	/r/MensRights	07/09/16 08:25 AM
3	Feminist gets challenged, can't find any answer so she resorts to name calling and insults as i understand it, in many (most?) places in the English speaking world at least, this is actually just custom and not law.	/r/MensRights	07/09/16 08:08 AM
