| 7 | Woman destroys the feminist myths about rapeFeminists scare women out of reporting rape, telling them only bad things will come of it and it's useless because the police won't help them. In actuality, the vast majority of police depts take great measures to make sure that women feel safe and comfortable reporting rape. Male victims of sexual assault are far more likely to experience negative response from police and others. | /r/MensRights | 29/04/16 12:37 AM |
| 71 | Women dresses up as a man for 18 months to experience what men go through. Amazing videoYep. Got stuck in women's studies because I needed a "cultural elective" and it was that or a costly study abroad. Everything we read or watched portrayed men in a very negative light. When I asked why we didn't have a class on men's issues, the prof tried to tell me how every other class in history, culture, or humanities was a men's studies class. No; that is not how that works. That is not how it works at all. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/15 06:27 PM |
| 38 | Women dresses up as a man for 18 months to experience what men go through. Amazing videoI try very hard to understand my husbands point of view and how gender issues affect him. He does the same for me. I've come to realize two things: a) sometimes the solutions he comes up with when I'm just trying to vent are actually good and b) a lot of the thing that I deal with as a woman are harder on him as a man. (I'm getting to a men's rights point, i promise). An example for both: as a woman, I hate walking around alone at night because of creepers following me, having inappropriate thin… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/15 06:12 PM |
| 1 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!Thank you very much. This is strange new territory for me, and I guess it's like learning a foreign language. If you're too afraid of screwing up your phrasing or verb tenses to ever speak; you'll never learn. I do try to be sensitive, but the same way that someone new to ballroom dance will inevitably step on a few peoples toes; so shall I. | /r/MensRights | 28/04/15 05:42 AM |
| 1 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!That's actually a funny way of putting it. His students are in 9th grade, so they're not little-little, but at 14-15 they're still kids and not full grown. That's a really great way of arguing it. "All day, he's trusted to supervise and educate impressionable kids at the awkward age, male and female, in a room by himself. But somehow, their mothers and other adult women aren't safe in a public ass place getting a damn pedicure alongside him? If grown women apparently don't feel safe having their… | /r/MensRights | 28/04/15 04:01 AM |
| 2 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!I understand now. Thank you for explaining. It's not your job to educate me, but I've gotta learn somehow! I made too broad and extreme of a statement in declaring that gender roles are bad and harmful when I really just went that a man should not be treated poorly for doing something mostly done by women. I know this isn't an excuse, but my husband has clinically diagnosed anxiety and having other people express negative opinions of him can really be damaging to him. Could I have said..., "Outd… | /r/MensRights | 27/04/15 01:33 AM |
| 1 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!I'm furious and my husband is embarrassed. The reason he asked me to go in and set the appointment is because he was afraid of this exact thing. If he'd gone in there only to be refused service just because of his sex it would have been humiliating. No person deserves to be made to feel like scum simply for walking into a business and requesting the service they provide. I'm calling the salon in the morning when they re-open and asking to talk to the owner or manager to find out if this is their… | /r/MensRights | 27/04/15 01:18 AM |
| 1 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!When they open again in the morning, I'll call and see if I can get through to the owner or the manager if the owner is hands off. If it's a case if an errant receptionist, as long as she's corrected you're right; there's no reason to take it further. | /r/MensRights | 27/04/15 12:45 AM |
| 2 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!There are things in this subreddit I genuinely will not understand until someone explains it to me. I was trying to say that it's a "harmful gender norm" that pedicures are only for women and there's something "wrong" with a man if he gets them, Please, tell me why what I said is offensive or incorrect. I'm trying to support your cause and I don't want to make this mistake again. How could I have gotten my point across that a man shouldn't face judgement for enjoying a pedicure across better? I'… | /r/MensRights | 27/04/15 12:44 AM |
| 1 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!I don't get some women. Pedicures make your feet feel good, why wouldn't some men want that? It's uncommon but not unheard of for a man to get a pedicure. If I were getting a pedicure when a man sat down next to me, I wouldn't think anything if it; we're both here for the same thing. If anything, I'd go, "wow, there is a guy who is secure and is not afraid to say 'screw you!' to harmful gender norms, how sexy!" | /r/MensRights | 26/04/15 11:56 PM |
| 3 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!I am friends with several attorneys, and I'm sure one of them would take the case for no payment or a share of the winnings if there are any. I'll ask her how we could go about petitioning the city. | /r/MensRights | 26/04/15 11:52 PM |
| 1 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!Can I call the police? Or should I find a lawyer? | /r/MensRights | 26/04/15 11:48 PM |
| 2 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!Not trolling. I would highly suggest a pedicure to anyone who works on their feet or has foot pain. There are a million reasons to get a pedicure other than wanting your feet to "look pretty" (and if that's what a guy wants, who cares!). My husband is a high school teacher and weekend/evening cigar bar clerk so he is always standing. His feet hurt and he gets callouses. He doesn't want his toenails painted. When you get a pedicure, you relax in a comfortable armchair and soak your feet in hot wa… | /r/MensRights | 26/04/15 10:43 PM |
| 5 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!The clerk told me they had never had a male customer before. Because it just opened a few months ago, it is entirely possible that he is the first man who has ever tried to receive service there. They do not know him, so if they sometimes take male customers, they'd have no reason to refuse service to him in particular. He was not even physically present; he was working when I tried to make him an appointment. Everything was fine until I gave a male name. I sit at the coffee shop next door frequ… | /r/MensRights | 26/04/15 10:34 PM |
| 2 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!I mean, it's not like there's any reason to get a pedicure other than wanting your feet to look pretty. The hot water soak, scrub, and filing of callouses totally does not make your feet hurt less or make dress shoes more comfortable. Everyone knows men don't need to clip their toenails anyways either, and a toenail that's clipped but not filed will catch and destroy a woman's sock but not a men's! /sarcasm | /r/MensRights | 26/04/15 10:23 PM |
| 10 | The nail lounge near me won't sell a pedicure to a man!A men's ku barbershop is different. A barber is trained in male hairstyles and using razors. Iif you're a woman there are many other places close by for you to get a haircut. Lots of hair stylers are trained in female hairstylists. Feet and toenails are basically the same on men and women. There are no nail salons for men, at least not anywhere near us. The only other nail salon in our town charges twice as much. So he either drives out of town or he can't get a pedicure. | /r/MensRights | 26/04/15 09:45 PM |
| 22 | Male college student silenced by his professor for challenging the bogus "1 in 5 college women are raped" statistic and the idea of "rape culture"The professor should have encouraged him to do his own research to dispute the 1 in 5 statistic and present his findings. That would have been a great topic for a paper in that class and maybe if the prof had given him an opportunity to lay out the actual facts and how he came to that conclusion, the class would be better educated. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/15 02:54 AM |
| 8 | Male college student silenced by his professor for challenging the bogus "1 in 5 college women are raped" statistic and the idea of "rape culture"The article mentioned that Reed students report an insane amount of rapes given their small size. Ten to one that's because every girl on that campus who gets drunk and has a one night stand or has a boyfriend initiate sex cries rape and it gets reported. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/15 02:45 AM |
| -2 | [ADVICE NEEDED] Some male employees are reluctant to take advantage of the grief counselors after a death in the office due to the stigma. What can I do?I tend to agree with you. You're right, in the short term it's probably more important to make sure everyone is able to have help dealing with their grief. | /r/MensRights | 15/08/14 09:22 PM |
| 1 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.This. You don't want to work out in front of the opposite sex, fine. Have a gym for your sex only. Don't restrict members of the opposite sex from a mixed sex gym. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/14 11:31 PM |
| 1 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.If there's a women's area, great, but there should also be a men's area. And a gender neutral area. It's unfair if men can't use the women's area, but women can use equipment wherever. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 10:34 PM |
| 2 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.Let me preface this by saying that I would be completely happy to see men's only gyms. It's a good solution for people who aren't comfortable working out in front of the other sex. It keeps shit like this from happening. The issue here is that everyone pays the same for their membership but only women have 24/7 access. Men aren't getting what they pay for. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 10:32 PM |
| 1 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.I'm from the U.S. Of course. What you're describing sounds completely rational, and it's to make sure everyone has equal access. This policy would be blatantly sexist and would completely stop men from using the weight room at all during certain hours. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 10:28 PM |
| 3 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.Need to make an edit when I get back to my computer because a couple people have asked this- I did go and speak to management to voice my view, and I told them I'd take my business elsewhere if they did this because fuck you, you can't tell me not to bring my goddamn sibling with me to work out. No. I'm trying to rally a few other sensible women to the cause. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 10:26 PM |
| 2 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.I'm raising a younger male sibling and care about him far too much to not do anything when I see sexism against men. Just like he'd speak up if he witnessed legitimate sexism against women. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 10:19 PM |
| 2 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.Exactly. There was jack fucking shit stopping them from using the goddamn weight room. Everyone's too wrapped up in their own workout to care. They just want the men out just because they might get looked at! Should we make it a straight-women only time, in case a lesbian checks her out or hits on her? | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 10:13 PM |
| 1 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.I'm working on rallying a few other women to the cause. I already pointed out to management that I like to take my little brother, who's membership I pay the same for, to work out with me. And they can't mess up my famy routine by telling me that I can't have my goddamn sibling spot me. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 10:07 PM |
| 1 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.Can't honestly say I've neeeeever checked out a guy at the gym. Women are just as guilty as guys. Looking at an attractive person is human nature, and it's not a problem if you're not like, staring, stalking, or oddly close to the person. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 09:54 PM |
| 3 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.Exactly this. No one gives a damn. Just don't go on there and act like an idiot or pitch a fit if you don't know what you're doing and someone steps in to keep you from hurting yourself and you'll be fine. And it's not like some men (ie my 18 yr old brother) don't get insecure or uncomfortable working out in front of a bunch of women. Being uncomfortable exercising around members of the opposite sex isn't exclusively a women's issue. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 09:50 PM |
| 1 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.I've found that if I don't pitch a fucking fit about the fact that I'm female, the vast majority of men will just kind of not care. That's not to say there are no douchebags out there that would genuinely harass a woman for no reason, but some people just don't understand the concept of "case-by-case basis." It's the mentality of that dick kindergarten teacher who takes recess away from the whole class because one little shit wouldn't shut up during quiet time. It teaches people the wrong lesson… | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 09:45 PM |

Those women must have been really insecure. I don't know what exactly they were afraid of. No one is really paying attention to anyone else in gym unless they're really making a scene. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 06:53 PM |
| 1 | A woman complained that she "couldn't use the weight room because of the men and that's not fair." Now the gym might have women only hours in the weight room.Seriously. There is no reason at all that those women couldn't have just gone in an worked out. I've been in there a billion times and no ones ever bothered me. If someone did, I'd just deal with that individual, like a normal human being. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/14 05:36 PM |

| 75 | It's shit like this. Was at a bar last night & a friend (girl) got drunk and kept groping me until I finally just left. I tried to tell another friend (girl) about it.You really just gave me a moment of clarity here. If a guy is trying to convince his girlfriend to have sex when she's not feeling it, he's just a jerk. But it's a common trope (in memes, in movies, on TV, etc) to show a woman pestering a man for sex by taking her clothes off, sitting on his lap while he's clearly busy, or even chasing him around the house, as a way of demonstrating that the male is geeky/oblivious/pathetic.

| 2 | I often hear the courts are growing friendly to fathers. I say not, at least in Illinois.

| 7 | Miesha Tate, Pro Female MMA fighter, “When a woman steps up to a man she should be treated as an equal, no discrimination,” explained Tate on Twitter. “I think if she slaps you, you should be able to slap her back 100%. It’s dumb to say a woman can but a man can’t.”I saw this happen a few days ago. I work in a strip club, and one of the dancers got into an argument with a manager and threw her shoe at him, then began punching him repeatedly, so in self-defense he had to hold her hands back until she cooled down and was ready to just leave. Never even hit back, just grabbed her wrists and held her still. She called the police. Guess who got arrested. | /r/MensRights | 20/10/12 08:36 AM |

| 10 | Today at school, I was barred from attending an assembly about rape and domestic violence because only women were allowed in.And IF the men-only version includes the same type of information. I'd be afraid that even if they end up offering a men's version, the information given would still be sexist against men. I've sat through this type of program "for men" and they always seem to focus on teaching the men not to rape and how to make sure their female partner is comfortable instead of teaching them how to avoid rape and keep themselves safe. Not cool. | /r/MensRights | 19/10/12 07:53 AM |

What the hell?Probably should have made this more clear but it's not solely the other workers he's getting this from. It's friends and classmates etc. I'm not sure why exactly the others know about it; most likely because on his walk between the sketchy parking lot and the warehouse several blocks away he had it in his hand like he should. | /r/MensRights | 27/08/12 01:31 AM |
