1	The demonisation of boys in our school system. This photo was taken by a young man in an Australian school. I'm saying the men who end up logging or drilling for oil made choices that were less than optimal for their well being in just the same way that the women who decided to be stay at home moms or hairdressers did. And for that matter, society would also not exist if women didn't take time from work to have children, because then there wouldn't be children.	/r/MensRights	21/10/16 04:44 AM
-1	The demonisation of boys in our school system. This photo was taken by a young man in an Australian school. But the argument that women make less because they voluntarily made decisions that led to them is predicated on blaming the individual for their decision. The logic behind it is this: Every person has autonomy over their own career path. Many individual women have made decisions that led to them being in careers that were less than their optimal earning potential. Therefore, the net result that women make less than men on average is due to many individual decisions rather than there being system…	/r/MensRights	21/10/16 12:54 AM
-6	The demonisation of boys in our school system. This photo was taken by a young man in an Australian school. Even so, no one is holding a gun to men's heads and forcing them to be lumberjacks or fishermen or long haul truckers, going in to career paths that will put them statistically at risk of death. Saying men deserve the money they earn because they chose wise career paths, while in the same breath saying they are victims to careers that put them at risk of harm, is disingenuous.	/r/MensRights	20/10/16 06:53 PM
–	The demonisation of boys in our school system. This photo was taken by a young man in an Australian school. If it's women's own fault they tend to choose career paths that are lower paying, isn't it also the fault of men for choosing careers which are more likely to harm them?	/r/MensRights	20/10/16 04:31 PM

Come on, how is it inconceivable to you this guy is simply an abuser? Do you not see the thought gymnastics you're going through just to assume the man was the victim here? You just saw video of an NFL player giving his fiancee a severe enough brain injury to knock her unconscious -- and yet you think she's the one that's pro…	/r/MensRights	08/09/14 06:37 PM
-5	Ray Rice: The elevator video Do MRAs actually think this NFL player was in danger of significant physical harm from his fiancee here? Which is more likely, this was an accumulation of years of slight stresses on him from her slapping him and he finally snapped and it just so happened the first time he ever broke down and hit her (and spit on her...) was in a place that was monitored on camera? Or is it that he's a fucking scummy wife beater?	/r/MensRights	08/09/14 05:44 PM
-4	Ray Rice: The elevator video Ah, okay, so she was ASKING to be knocked unconscious by her fiance. Good point. She definitely got what she deserved here. I mean, the blow she was going to land on him definitely was going to be enough to knock him unconscious, so it was good for him that he got to concuss her before she could him. His fiancee. Was going to definitely knock out him, an NFL running back. Do MRAs actually hear themselves think? Have they ever been in a relationship with a real human woman? Just wondering.	/r/MensRights	08/09/14 04:23 PM
0	I made an edit of a popular xkcd comic that I think better encapsulates accusations of misogyny. I'm done replying in this subreddit. Nobody's convincing anyone of anything, and both of us are wasting our time. However, to answer this question: What specific part of the MRM platform are you arguing here? Oh, so MRM isn't ostensibly about creating a society based on the idea of gender equality? Because, for example, the front page of mensrights.com has the phrase "gender equality" appear in its main title, once more in the paragraph explaining its main goals, and then just the words "equal" …	/r/MensRights	08/04/13 05:10 AM
0	I made an edit of a popular xkcd comic that I think better encapsulates accusations of misogyny. If "incentives" aren't working, it means they aren't actually incentives. "Incentive" refers to the idea of a reward great enough to change a population's behavior; if individual behaviors aren't being changed by an offered incentive, though, individuals must not believe this reward is an incentive, a just reward for changing behavior. As such, AtheistConservative's grousing about the rewards given to women in STEM fields is just plain bitching, as women plainly don't believe the complain-worthy…	/r/MensRights	08/04/13 04:49 AM
-8	I made an edit of a popular xkcd comic that I think better encapsulates accusations of misogyny. Sigh. Okay, so you're arguing that men and women are inherently different, with general disparities in habits and capabilities -- and yet, when the legal system treats women as behaving, on average, differently from men, the men's rights movement is wildly offended that anyone is treated differently from anyone else. You're as intellectually hypocritical as the "You have to hold the door for me, treat me like a princess, but you also have to treat me like an equal, too" feminists you love to hol…	/r/MensRights	07/04/13 09:52 PM
-17	I made an edit of a popular xkcd comic that I think better encapsulates accusations of misogyny. I'm sorry, but as someone who spent his entire academic career working with incredibly capable female STEM minds -- as the son, in fact, of a STEM-loving woman -- the genetic explanation you're imagining just really doesn't send me.	/r/MensRights	07/04/13 07:29 PM
-16	I made an edit of a popular xkcd comic that I think better encapsulates accusations of misogyny. Okay, and you have proof this interest disparity is inherent in them, and not socially imprinted -- how? Should I look at the rates of black people presiding over Fortune 500 companies and conclude black people are just inherently less interested in being CEOs, too? Edit -- Answer: no, because that would obviously be ignoring many, many confounding variables which also play a part in keeping black people out of the boardroom. So how is it any more valid to come to the same conclusion about women…	/r/MensRights	07/04/13 06:08 PM
0	I made an edit of a popular xkcd comic that I think better encapsulates accusations of misogyny. Oh, I know. My point is that there still must be clear social disincentives preventing women from taking serious interest in STEM fields, at some point in their educational backgrounds, or else the benefits you mentioned would be injecting significant numbers of women into these fields -- and they're clearly not. My point, by the way, is not to be a knee-jerk feminist about this. The wage gap, etc., doesn't send me whatsoever. But I think it's a simplistic and silly thing to say sexism in STEM f…	/r/MensRights	07/04/13 06:04 PM
-19	I made an edit of a popular xkcd comic that I think better encapsulates accusations of misogyny. ...And yet, somehow, despite the manifold social and monetary benefits women clearly receive by becoming STEM majors, there is still an exceptionally large gender disparity in STEM fields. So either women are behaving completely irrationally by foregoing the incredible benefits you say each and every one of them would receive by entering a STEM major program and career field... or you're wrong, and these benefits don't actually exist -- at least, to the extent you're convinced they are, to the e…	/r/MensRights	07/04/13 05:27 PM
