| 1 | Girls, 13, lied about park sex attack, say Greater Manchester policeI'm not sure if it's always a good idea to scale punishments solely to the trouble caused. I think the potential for damage is also something to consider. For example, a drunk driver could get lucky and manage to not kill anyone... or they could kill several innocent people. I don't consider there to be a strong distinction in either case. They have the same intentions. With regards to "make an example of someone", that's mostly a "within reason" thing. I disagree with the idea of punishing some… | /r/MensRights | 06/04/16 03:59 AM |
| 2 | Girls, 13, lied about park sex attack, say Greater Manchester policeI agree. Jail isn't suitable here. It's simply too questionable if they fully comprehended the seriousness about what they lied about. We have to remember that lying is something that almost everyone does and never gets anything more than a slap on the wrist. It takes a fair bit of mental maturity to realize what kinds of things are completely unsuitable to lie about. And 13 year olds... well, they're not exactly known for maturity of any kind. That said, wrong actions can't go unpunished and an… | /r/MensRights | 06/04/16 12:05 AM |
| 1 | The clearest proof we live in the worst rape culture ever in historyTo be fair, when people say "rape culture", they don't mean just the number of reported rapes. They also refer to things like whether victims are shamed for coming forward, the media presentation (the Steubenville case comes to mind), and yes, the treatment of those who are falsely accused. That said, I think you have to be absolutely crazy to think things are getting worse. They seem to clearly be getting better to me. Stuff like spousal rape is now correctly classified as rape (which is as rec… | /r/MensRights | 25/03/16 09:27 PM |

| 6 | Emma Watson: "More Lives Lost due to Gender discrimination Than all Wars of Last Century"No, he's reading between the lines. Most feminists are pro-choice and naturally don't consider abortion to be murder. We wouldn't say that lives are lost to abortion. Yet for whatever reason, that's exactly what Watson is saying here. While I can agree that gender-selective abortion is problematic, she's not helping her cause by suddenly acting like lives are lost. We need to be consistent about our views. | /r/MensRights | 17/03/16 12:02 AM |
| 2 | Emma Watson: "More Lives Lost due to Gender discrimination Than all Wars of Last Century"But while the abortions themselves were about self interest and not misogyny, couldn't we argue that the self interest is biased towards boys because of misogyny on the cultural level? After all, there must be a reason that boys are preferable. Particularly since this seems to come down to economic success. Presumably due to some form of the wage gap. It begs question what keeps that in place. Is there misogyny somewhere? Are women going against their best interests? If so, why? Is it all the re… | /r/MensRights | 16/03/16 11:59 PM |

It's true that many feminists are anti-MRA and that many MRAs are anti-feminist, but the two movements are not mutually exclusive. Bear in mind that these are loosely organized movements. There's no central body for what makes you a feminist or MRA. Really the requirement to call yourself one of those is that you have some kind of believe about reducing sexism and inequality for that gender. You don't have to be batshit crazy to be a feminist (as some members of this sub make it see… | /r/MensRights | 17/02/16 09:30 PM |
| 1 | Mount Allison drops women's and gender studies programWell, gender dysphoria is fairly well studied, including the effects of its treatment: sex change. Brain scans have shown some differences in the genders, as well as how many transgendered people have scans closer to their identified gender. And for the case of gender being different from sex, it's a psychology thing (sociology would be a component of studying gender as a whole, though). Psychology is a rather interesting science as it straddles the fence between hard and soft sciences. A primar… | /r/MensRights | 03/02/16 08:01 PM |
| 9 | Mount Allison drops women's and gender studies programGender is more of a psychology thing. Biology would include sex, though. And arguably psychology is essentially a level of abstraction above biology (like how biology is a level of abstraction above chemistry). There's also obviously a sociology component. And in a similar sense, history and anthropology. | /r/MensRights | 02/02/16 09:27 PM |
| 1 | How Hate against men works and how it spreadsIs that a problem with feminism or with society as a whole? Because it seems to apply to a huge number of groups. This is evident in things like how organizations can blatantly mislead even in congress (remember that Planned Parenthood graph?). In fact, it's not even just statistics. The general public can be just plain dumb about a lot of things. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/16 06:00 PM |
| 0 | How Hate against men works and how it spreads/u/51m0n's statement is obviously hyperbole, but yes, the MRM certainly does have somewhat of a hate/fear portion driving it. This very image is a clear example. It's painting all feminists as hateful towards men; particularly with the overreaching "feminism is a hate movement". For fucks sake, most of the people in this sub would hate it if people called MRM a hate movement, yet some of you think that you can do the same to your sister movement. I find it incredulous that such trash can get upv… | /r/MensRights | 30/01/16 05:56 PM |
| 2 | How Hate against men works and how it spreadsOne thing that comes to mind is that you're not suddenly a bad person just because you got mislead on a statistic. There's a big difference between the radicals who are purposefully trying to mislead vs those who end up getting mislead. Especially if you consider how widespread some of these myths are. On reddit they might get shot down fast, but most of the world doesn't use reddit. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/16 05:49 PM |

The post is obviously misleading, particularly when compared to things like how the US has the draft, which men must participate in to vote and can actually cost your life. Although at the same time, I feel it's a nitpick over just another inaccurate Facebook post (which are a dime a dozen). And while there wasn't really any deaths involved in getting the female vote, it's not like it wasn't a disgrace that it took so long and how the suffragettes were treated.

I think we're thinking about different things. I'm not talking about some kind of public comment. Most people have more tact than that. Just a silent degree of shying away from said people. Eg, you can see this on dating sites. Bisexual men will have less women interested in them than if they just claim to be straight.

| 3 | Gay Men Touch Vaginas, Male feminist Calls it Misogynyacting like the vagina is some oppressed American myth or something? I suppose that to be fair, sex ed in the US is usually very lacking. So naturally many people don't really understand vaginas well. They don't understand penises well, either, but I'd argue that penises are a lot simpler than vaginas. The most common myth I see with regards to penises is how erections work (lots of naive people think you can just have one on whim or that they imply consent). With vaginas, you will frequently he… | /r/MensRights | 25/01/16 08:59 PM |

Also, lesbianism is usually looked on as "hot" while gay men are "gross". In dom/sub relationships, submissive men are largely looked down upon. Women definitely have a lot more freedom for both sides. For getting casual sex, the deck is heavily stacked towards women. Pretty much every website related to casual sex has far more men and they're far more desperate. So desperate that they're far more likely to resort to trying t… | /r/MensRights | 25/01/16 08:46 PM |

For example, it makes perfect sense to mention a hashtag in an essay if you do so to explain about a news event that occurred as a result of the hashtag or if you're quoting someone and the hashtag is an important part of the quote. Although hashtags and slang like "lol" don't really have any place in typical writing. Eg, you can't just write "men think they're entitled but they're actually really stupid, lol". That's just immature and completely out of place in academi… | /r/MensRights | 19/01/16 07:25 PM |

That is, focus on topics that are sure to be highly emotional and elect biases, so as to weed out those who cannot set aside their biases to construct a rational argument (and that includes some of the members of this sub).

I find it sad that some people continue to press for lower burdens of truth and similar. Like, I get that it's frustrating when the seemingly guilty get off from a lack of evidence. It must be especially so if you know that someone raped you (or tortured you, robbed you, etc) and just can't prove it. However, the cost of false imprisonment is extremely high. Far too high.

"Number displaced worldwide hits record high - UN report" "UK net migration hits record high" "Record number of kittens dumped says Blue Cross charity" Those are all headlines from BBC that show the use of "record" for clearly negative topics. It's people's own fault if they look at this headline and conclude that it's a good thing (as some certainly will). I think you're looking into it too much. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/15 12:04 AM |

Rejects feminist discourse.Yeah, I think that the standards for female beauty are lower in the sense that the typical woman is more attractive than the typical male. An OkCupid blog post has a somewhat more objective look at this. The TL;DR is when trying to judge if someone is average, above average, or below average, the curve of men judging women looks like pretty normal bell curve whereas the women judging mencurve is heavily skewed towards below average. ie, women think the average male is below average attractivenes… | /r/MensRights | 12/12/15 05:12 AM |

It's very expensive, takes a while, embarrassing, hard to explain to work/parents/friends/etc, and there's a lot of very prejudiced people who will happily let you know what they think of trans people if they find out you are one.

I believe the white text says: Here we aren't allowed to talk about the single biggest killer of men aged under 45 but we are here www.biggerissues.co.uk So presumably they are trying to use the whole suspense theme to get people to check out the website, where you'd find out that they were referring to suicide. Actually, thinking about it a little, it's quite clever. People tend to avoid talking about suicide. It's an uncomfortable topic. The poster may … | /r/MensRights | 10/11/15 05:19 PM |

I mean, I think most healthy people have at some low point of their lives wondered what would happen if they just ended it there. They'd never seriously do it, but by definition, they're contemplating it. So if I'm right that most people have done this at some time or another, then arguably the results of this poll are pretty much just checking what people consider "contemplating".

| 1 | Rapist gets 30 days, community serviceIn that particular state. Such laws are interesting when they aren't the norm. In about 75% of the US, it wouldn't have been statuary rape. I just find it interesting that whether or not you're a rapist depends on borders. It's one of those sort of crimes that you typically don't think of a geographical sense. Like, whether or not you view someone as a rapist wouldn't depend on whether they're from Nevada or Utah or what. | /r/MensRights | 17/09/15 09:11 PM |

I think there's been countless cases in which the defense attorney tries to pain the accused as a victim in some way. Most often they try and paint them as a victim of circumstances in an attempt to solicit pity (how often do you hear about how the accused came from a troubled background?).

Of course, the reality is that many people can't handle peer pressure well and simply aren't assertive (and may not even know how to be assertive).

Then what /u/xseeks means is because deployment may occur at any point of their military career (sure, it's usually well planned in advance, but pregnancy is very long term and wars can start requiring unexpected deployment).

Since such stories are frequently oriented around war, we tend to see male dominated armies while the roles that women would traditionally play keep them more behind the scenes.

| 1 | Why the new Final Fantasy's all-male cast matters to MRAs, "a focus on male friendship and healthy masculinity in games is virtually nonexistent".I'd argue that it's RPGs in general that often do this. Major western RPGs like The Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, etc have also had very fair portrayals of men and women (with all of those series allowing the player character to choose their gender). Of course, there's always going to be exceptions. Single exceptions aren't necessarily a bad thing, though.

It did come across as a little gimmicky (particularly since the previous game had a very balanced cast), but didn't really ruin the game or anything.

The point is that you can find plenty of people who can defend practices you might view as barbaric (I'm assuming you'd find removing the clitoris to be barbaric).

It seems to me that the "alimony payments could only continue for a period of time from 25 percent to 75 percent of the length of the marriage" part of the bill gives more than enough leeway.

A joke that this shou… | /r/MensRights | 01/05/13 08:38 AM |

Although feminists didn't give you your disease. The majority of feminists don't even oppose MR, even.

| 2 | Girlfriend stopped taking the pill without telling me, and is now pregnant. Says she wants to keep it. I'm extremely scared.Maybe, but I think an abortion would be more of a win win. OP doesn't sound like he wants to be a father yet and the woman isn't ready to be a mother yet, either. | /r/MensRights | 18/02/13 04:03 AM |
| 1 | Girlfriend stopped taking the pill without telling me, and is now pregnant. Says she wants to keep it. I'm extremely scared.Maybe not necessarily crazy, but I wouldn't classify her as a good person given what she did. | /r/MensRights | 18/02/13 03:58 AM |
| 3 | Girlfriend stopped taking the pill without telling me, and is now pregnant. Says she wants to keep it. I'm extremely scared.Good logic. Test it anyway, but in the meantime, get legal help. | /r/MensRights | 17/02/13 01:57 PM |

| -7 | More proof Feminism is out of control! But you knew that, already.Why are you blaming feminism for one idiot trying to get her boyfriend into trouble (which would never work since she's stupid enough to make a facebook post like this). Granted, I severely doubt this is even real, and not really in any way a progressive post here. | /r/MensRights | 17/02/13 04:13 AM |
| 0 | I'm actually offended and ashamed that you're eating this shit.I have to admit to having little knowledge of the finer details of the American electoral system. As an honestly curious offtopic question, why does the US still have conscription (or this form of it)? | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 06:16 AM |
| -2 | I'm actually offended and ashamed that you're eating this shit.Oh, I agree, sure. My point is simply that feminism did a lot of good for women at times, particularly as you laid out in your third point, and men didn't really have anything like feminism at the time that these strides were made. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 04:22 AM |
| -1 | I'm actually offended and ashamed that you're eating this shit.Women were not prevented by society from receiving education. Some women (and some men) couldn't afford it. Others could. That was a poverty issue, not a gender issue. That depends on what we're looking at. The medieval ages didn't necessarily ban women from accessing education, but the ancient greeks didn't allow women to go to school. They could learn what their family and husband were willing to share and that was about it. Women were not a group which was uniquely denied voting rights in the… | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 04:20 AM |
| -2 | I'm actually offended and ashamed that you're eating this shit.I would describe it slightly differently: society is always discriminating to both genders, but feminism took huge strides in removing that discrimination (in some parts of the world, anyway). However, several issues involving entirely or mostly men got left behind in the process. Consider it this way: women were once treated so inferior they couldn't vote or receive education. That discrimination has been removed. On the other hand, conscription in armed forces largely effects men and male geni… | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 03:12 AM |
| 12 | Suspended for being misogynist...I'm in full agreement with you. Not to mention that most things from 4chan are fake, anyway. I don't understand how something of such awful quality got so many upvotes. Because it's a good read? Never mind how it turns the entire subreddit into a joke. I'm of the opinion that we need to step up in moderation to cut down on joke and bullshit submissions. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/13 05:16 AM |
| 8 | Suspended for being misogynist...Disregarding that 4chan is a terrible platform and there's no reason to believe this ever happened, one does have to consider that during the past, women really were second class citizens. For example, for a long period of time, they were expected to marry their rapists and then there's things like being denied education in a number of ancient civilizations (and could argue that feminism has a legitimate purpose in removing such shackles from countries that still hold these views). Sure, I agree… | /r/MensRights | 13/01/13 05:13 AM |

| 2 | Can We Try To Focus on Men's Rights, not "I Hate Feminists!" jokes?I think the term you're looking for is "egalitarian" (belief in equality between the genders), and I agree. | /r/MensRights | 31/12/12 06:35 PM |
| 8 | Am I right to feel a bit ticked off here?I agree with you, OP. I hate half the discussions in this sub because they enforce some view that all women are against men or because they take offense to obvious jokes. Sadly, the guy who replied to you isn't wrong. There's a lot of people here who think all feminists are bad, who make posts mocking those "I need feminism" signs, and the like. We complain about double standards while making out own. And grouping all feminists into that extremist "mens rights are bad" view is like grouping all … | /r/MensRights | 22/12/12 05:47 PM |
| 4 | Jezebel: Fuck You Men's Rights Activists.I was with you all the way until the last statement. This could be so much easier if you didn't equally group all feminists together. Yes, I hate this article, but why the fuck is MRM suddenly "anti-feminist"? Yes, I hate it when the more extreme feminists talk badly of MRM as though men "have it all", but can we at least acknowledge that there exist (many) feminists who hold egalitarian views similar to ours? They don't want to see the other gender pushed backwards, they just want equality for … | /r/MensRights | 14/12/12 08:29 AM |

In the absence of that, I'll consider whatever happened to be irrelevant. | /r/MensRights | 01/12/12 12:45 PM |
| 1 | Gender Equality"Help me" may not be very accurate, but there's a small number of women who seem to expect men to do most of the physical work. Received a heavy package? He goes and gets it. Yes, the majority of men are stronger than the majority of women, but that doesn't mean she can't carry a 20 pound box. I personally don't see this very often, and the expectation of men to do physical work is more evident in the jobs people passively choose: men are more likely to work in the mining or construction industr… | /r/MensRights | 30/11/12 03:34 AM |

| 19 | /b/ on feminism [Ex-post from /r/4chan]Personally? I think both sides are in the wrong there. I support equality, and both genders are oppressed in some of those areas. For example, women are still heavily discriminated in many non-industrialized countries. On the other hand, men often suffer many double standards that don't effect women, but do effect men (such as the impact of false rape charges). There's obviously a lot more, but I do believe that neither side contradicts each other; just some people try and take things too far. Y… | /r/MensRights | 27/11/12 10:58 PM |
| 16 | /b/ on feminism [Ex-post from /r/4chan]MRAs and feminists aren't by any means antifeminist, though; MRAs simply dislike the extremist feminists who argue for a double standard (such as those who believe women shouldn't have to be jailed). Likewise, feminists dislike the extremist MRAs who say feminism has no place anymore. The core similarities of the two movements can very much coexist without any mocking. | /r/MensRights | 27/11/12 10:47 PM |
| 10 | I was at a store that had a room for changing diapers. I thought I was a really great idea until..Interesting. Where I'm from, if the womens' washroom has a change table, the mens' does too.

| -6 | Farmington, NH woman charged with aggravated sexual assault after raping a child for years will be given a plea that lets her off on community corrections.Hmm, I didn't think about it that way. On the other hand, though, "that hits close to home" is an analogy for something making an impact on you, so it is also figurative. | /r/MensRights | 16/11/12 11:37 AM |

Maybe this is the case in America or something, but in other countries, this doesn't necessarily apply.

Here in Canada, for example, student loans are actually pretty fair. I'd imagine that'd be the case for most of… | /r/MensRights | 16/11/12 08:40 AM |
| 1 | School bans Movember because girls can't grow facial hairWhile you're right about their reasoning, it's illogical to force him to shave simply because other people can't grow facial hair. I can understand them not officially sponsoring his activity or something, but actually banning the growth of facial hair, and through that, his ability to raise money for charity on his own?

| 2 | What a load of crap!Unfortunately, there's more than just the law that's the problem: people have outdated social conventions. If they see a man without a top they don't pay him a second thought, but if they see a woman without a top, they suddenly think something's wrong. There was a case a while back here in Canada where a woman was breastfeeding in public (that's legal) and a Walmart manager asked her to stop. He later issued an apology.

That's their own choice, and they're certainly not expected to (it's well known that most men prefer women with "natural" makeup or no makeup). As well, guys can wear makeup if they wish, most just choose not to (there's a lot of negative stigma there, though, since guys are historically not expected to wear makeup).

For example, penis could be discussed on a biology page, rape could be used in a history site talking about the "rape" of Nanking, sex could be used by sex ed courses (you have those in the States, right?). And any site that allows comments could contain any number of inappropriate words. Sites like Wikipedia aren't censored and even pages that seem to have no correlation with an inappropriate word could be vandalized.… | /r/MensRights | 01/11/12 09:58 AM |

Where I'm from (Saskatchewan), automobile insurance is mandatory and run by the provincial government. If you want to drive your car, you need it to be insured. It's a product of the democratic socialist government of 1944, and to date, remains well liked. I paid $800 a year in insurance on my late 90s car when starting out.

While I question the posters numbers and it's general bias, it isn't really related to the work Intel does (they also happen to be a male dominated company). Of course, their processors are far better than AMDs, so there isn't much of an alternative. Finally, while boycotts against companies that foster poor views can bend the into making better choices, if they're permanent, the company has no reason to reverse its decision. | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 12:16 AM |
