2	What people just don't get about movember. They ask questions like: "Are these people really supposed to be ambassadors for prostate cancer?", "How many of these men actually start websites for donations?", and the one I read recently: "Why don't they run marathons instead?". People like Amberly Mcateer criticize the movement for making light of issues that are serious, and deserves real initiative beyond passive growth of facial hair. I'll assume she would have asked similar questions, back when breast cancer awareness initiatives took …	/r/MensRights	16/11/12 03:13 AM
2	Have you ever tried to take up a hobby that is generally considered female? My BF won't go to my Body Pump weightlifting class at the gym with me because he feels the experience is feminine in nature. I explained there are male attendees, we have an even split of male/female instructors, and it's hard as heck. He explained that in his head it's a bunch of middle-aged women rocking out to the 80's with all-female instructors who address the co-gendered class as 'ladies.'	/r/MensRights	04/05/12 09:01 PM
5	Single man wanted a child, hired a surrogate, had a baby. This is an excellent point. I have seen many stories of women who achieved motherhood through using surrogates. It is often described as a very loving and generous thing to do. Surrogates can be wealthy and well-educated, or in desperate need of money. Not that I was looking for it, but I have not once seen anyone admonish a woman using a surrogate because it "exploits the underprivileged women who act as surrogates."	/r/MensRights	08/04/12 02:55 AM
1	Womens preference for romantic fiction gives them unrealistic expectations. On the contrary, I think this subreddit is somewhat about 'women do it, too.' No one denies that some men have inappropriate relationships with their students, rape women, and molest children. This subreddit is also about awareness that women do these things too; that abuse and violence are not the sole domain of men, but people in general, and that stereotypes about only committing these crimes are inaccurate.	/r/MensRights	09/07/11 02:15 PM
1	Women's "Wish List" = HR "Wish List" in Employees Look, I'm a writer, and even I don't expect myself or anyone else to be perfect all the time, and I admit there are words I still struggle with. But when you get very obvious mistakes like im' and utter lack of punctuation it's frustrating.	/r/MensRights	04/06/11 06:17 PM
4	Listen up, fellas: Naked man-parts? Not so sexy. That is so not even true. Maybe it's just my generation, but penises turn me on, definitely. In the right context. I mean, a hobo flashing his junk would be appalling, but sexy pics are fun.	/r/MensRights	04/06/11 03:31 PM
4	Any reason to get a prenup? Probably wouldn't hurt to consult with a lawyer and get their thoughts on the matter. You won't be poor and in debt forever (hopefully); what happens if you're comfortably well off, or own a house, and decide to split?	/r/MensRights	21/03/11 03:15 AM
2	In This Thread: State your reason for advocating Men's Rights Not yet :-) I'm hoping this year. About to send a rewritten version back to my agent.	/r/MensRights	18/01/11 04:30 AM
3	In This Thread: State your reason for advocating Men's Rights My main male character was kept as a domestic slave, so getting to know him and he felt about things required a lot of research into stereotypes about both men and women. Some women in the book made arguments for keeping men as slaves, which echo some sentiments of our time. What do you write?	/r/MensRights	17/01/11 12:48 PM
3	In This Thread: State your reason for advocating Men's Rights My boyfriend is my best friend and the love of my life, and I would hate for anyone to automatically assume he's a pervert or predator just because of his gender. I want every happiness for him and misandry prevents that. Plus I wrote my first novel about a societal power gender swap, and became more interested in men's rights issues as time went on.	/r/MensRights	17/01/11 04:43 AM
2	Male version of The Vagina Monologues I would love to see something like this (female).	/r/MensRights	02/01/11 04:42 AM
6	The rise of the kitchen bitch. I dunno, maybe it's because I'm younger and more 'modern', but my SO and I share cooking duties, and I really don't consider our gender roles while doing it. He leads in planning out our meals and grocery shopping for the week, and when he's particularly excited about something he'll make it while I'm at work (he works at home right now), but I have more of a sense for how to spice correctly, and what proportions to use. We have different talents, and bring different things to the table, and if …	/r/MensRights	30/11/10 01:20 AM
2	Just curious, how many women are in this subreddit? I'm here. Don't have much to say but I appreciate the education.	/r/MensRights	29/11/10 04:41 PM
8	Feminists claim they seek equality when the very term 'feminism' implies support for one sex over another. I've been using the term Equalism for years. It really pisses feminists off for some reason.	/r/MensRights	15/08/10 01:14 PM
0	An angry 2X'er describes "typical" MRA behavior. Would anyone here actually want to close down a women's shelter? If so, please indicate if you would twirl your mustaches while doing so. And then kick some puppies on the way out. Ohhh, I get it. They call themselves that. Sorry, my bad!	/r/MensRights	09/02/10 06:29 PM
1	An angry 2X'er describes "typical" MRA behavior. Would anyone here actually want to close down a women's shelter? If so, please indicate if you would twirl your mustaches while doing so. And then kick some puppies on the way out. I don't think it's really helping your case to start referring to women by the number of chromosomes they have.	/r/MensRights	09/02/10 12:34 PM
8	How many of us are here because we have been affected personally by Men's Rights issues? I wrote a fictional novel about women having enslaved men because I wanted to explore what the world would be like if women were in charge. I was young, and thought it would be a utopian ideal. It turns out my characters had a lot to teach me, and as I worked my way through the book series towards revolution and equality of the genders it became apparent the stereotypes that we have of both women and men, and clear that we cannot be feminists, but must be equalists. My agent has this book out wi…	/r/MensRights	08/02/10 09:22 PM
0	Pay gap persists or NOT? Every time I scroll by that title I see it as 'Gay Pap'. It takes me like three seconds of concentrating before I can see 'pay gap'.	/r/MensRights	14/09/09 03:07 AM
1	He actually got 7 years for this. However if he had slept with his female teachers they would have likely gotten probation. Oh, sorry, I must not have read the article clearly; I didn't get to that part.	/r/MensRights	08/09/09 01:40 AM
3	He actually got 7 years for this. However if he had slept with his female teachers they would have likely gotten probation. You're probably right, but that doesn't mean that father didn't do a wrong thing. I think his father deserves jail time. There's something very wrong with that situation.	/r/MensRights	07/09/09 09:05 PM
6	We've got to change the dialogue if we want to gain traction as a movement. I don't understand why we have to be 'feminists'. It's a good term, and took us a long way, but I think 'equalists' is a better term now. A blank slate with which to associate our ideals.	/r/MensRights	20/08/09 12:10 PM
5	A boy becomes a man. Well, I thought that's what common courtesy was... people expect you to hold the door for them, you expect them to hold it for you. It's culturally considered rude to not hold the door. We expect people to do other polite things, such as wash their hands after using the bathroom, saying 'please' and 'thank you', shaking hands when greeting, etc. Holding a door open is another polite gesture that is just expected in our culture. Also, you misspelled 'holier than thou.'	/r/MensRights	18/08/09 06:36 PM
12	A boy becomes a man. I'm female, and I hold the door for everyone. I expect others, both men and women, to do the same. Common courtesy.	/r/MensRights	18/08/09 03:30 PM
2	"I believe male infanticide to be a better option than the current circumstances... Note that I also feel that female infanticide is a better option than being born into patriarchy as it stands, as well." [crazy?] I agree. This is the classic 'You're addicted to heroine.' 'No I'm not.' 'Well, you're in denial.' argument.	/r/MensRights	29/05/09 01:11 AM
3	"I believe male infanticide to be a better option than the current circumstances... Note that I also feel that female infanticide is a better option than being born into patriarchy as it stands, as well." [crazy?] What this says to me is that none of these women really know and care about a male. I couldn't imagine saying that about my fiancee. Inconceivable.	/r/MensRights	27/05/09 10:59 PM
2	I feel threatened by this action. My comments are usually hugely unpopular in /equality and I feel outnumbered by feminists (not equalists.) I didn't agree with every comment bsc made, but at least I felt a little less outnumbered. Do MRAs want to enter a subreddit with called hits? I meant, 'please explain why you don't have long to live'.	/r/MensRights	30/04/09 10:49 PM

You shouldn't give up on this after a little turmoil. Without trying to sound sappy here, the road to true, objective equality is going to be bumpy.	/r/MensRights	30/04/09 01:33 AM
16	I feel threatened by this action. My comments are usually hugely unpopular in /equality and I feel outnumbered by feminists (not equalists.) I didn't agree with every comment bsc made, but at least I felt a little less outnumbered. Do MRAs want to enter a subreddit with called hits? I subscribed to both MensRights and Equality. I'm female. In my opinion, lately MensRights became about bashing women, not the rights of men. I love my fiance dearly; he's my best friend and the most important person in the world to me, and so I joined both subreddits from a logical and emotional perspective. I don't want any of the men I love in my life to be damaged by radical feminism, which is why I tried to expand my understanding of men's issues. Since then I've been enlightened to the unf…	/r/MensRights	30/04/09 12:19 AM
2	100% of women killed the puppy, 54% of men did in Milgram study replication. Significant? Maybe not, but interesting. I came here to say this. Well done.	/r/MensRights	31/01/09 05:30 AM
5	Ask MensRights: Are there any female subscribers to this subreddit? 19 year old white female.	/r/MensRights	22/01/09 05:12 AM
1	Rape accusers should be publicly named Oooh, good one.	/r/MensRights	30/12/08 01:04 PM
13	Rape accusers should be publicly named How about just a false rape accuser? For women who have actually been raped, admitting it publicly could be very emotionally damaging, particularly if the rapist is someone well-known and beloved.	/r/MensRights	30/12/08 01:03 PM
