2	The Fat Acceptance Movement is a travesty that glorifies an unhealthy lifestyle, caters primarily to obese women, and demonizes fit men for not looking past the weight and date these women (detailed breakdown in comments). Yeah exactly, people shouldn't go around asking body builders stupid insinuating questions or assume based on their hobby that they're dumb "muscle heads" etc. If you broke your arm you expect questions from those you interact with but not random strangers. If you were an amputee people should also knock it off with the questions and just carry on, no matter if they feel uncomfortable. They're not helping anyone and realizing that is social maturity.	/r/MensRights	12/02/19 10:02 PM
3	The Fat Acceptance Movement is a travesty that glorifies an unhealthy lifestyle, caters primarily to obese women, and demonizes fit men for not looking past the weight and date these women (detailed breakdown in comments). If you think someone with even 100 extra pounds on them (like 40kg) is treated that much differently by society I would say that you are wrong 100 lbs is a lot. Even 20-30 lbs could be transformational for many people. It's also not necessarily about sexual attraction but basic respect. See the people commenting saying things like "you should tell them to go on a diet, but nicely". Everyone is entitled to sexual preferences but outside of that it should be irrelevant and unsolicited advice is to…	/r/MensRights	12/02/19 09:49 PM
2	The Fat Acceptance Movement is a travesty that glorifies an unhealthy lifestyle, caters primarily to obese women, and demonizes fit men for not looking past the weight and date these women (detailed breakdown in comments). No one should be called out for being a certain body size But isn't this the whole point of fat acceptance? That fat people are perceived as "disgusting" and "lazy" by society who will then treat them differently either through insults/isolation to economic impacts such as discrimination in the job market. Fat people aren't allowed to just "be" since everyone's all up in their business about how they should change.	/r/MensRights	12/02/19 09:01 PM
-19	CNN's Ashley Banfield Destroys Aziz Ansari's Accuser, Publicly! Aziz Ansari is American, born in South Carolina. Not sure about the relevance of including that he's of Indian origin unless you're conflating that with unattractiveness?	/r/MensRights	17/01/18 02:13 AM
2	Manspreading Not take up more than one seat, but it is more typical that someone could start infringing on the space of the person next to them. Most often people (of multiple genders) sitting like this will straighten up/move their bag when the adjacent seat becomes occupied (thus resolving any potential issue) but it does happen occasionally that their neighbor will be forced to minimize the space their body/things take up and be cramped.	/r/MensRights	11/06/17 12:20 PM
1	This is how Mary P. Koss, one of the most prominent feminist researchers in the field of sexual violence in the United States, feels about male rape victims. Does she offer another term, a comparable one that does not diminish the crime's severity? If she's a law person, her comment might be mixed up in technical legal mumbo jumbo.	/r/MensRights	24/08/15 04:51 AM
1	Manspreading for men, bagdraping for women Don't most women put their purses and other possessions on their lap / the floor by their feet? In a crowded metro I see more ladies that keep their stuff in a place where they have more control of it (fear of pickpockets, etc.).	/r/MensRights	26/12/14 06:30 PM
6	If men comment on a woman's personal appearance, it's misogyny. If women say negative things to a man about his appearance, what is it? It's not misogyny, it's just rude. It's rude no matter who you say it to.	/r/MensRights	26/09/14 01:07 PM
1	Male Studies: The Biggest Single Advance for Men and Boys in 2013 It seems like most of these courses are things that should be covered in a high school health class (i.e. things that every guy should become familiar with). I'm wondering a bit where the intellectual/academic bit comes in, except for maybe two of them at the bottom of the syllabus.	/r/MensRights	24/12/13 06:34 AM
1	Three heroes died in Aurora taking bullets for their girlfriends haha true. I just know that in such a situation I'd be way more likely to "protect" my brother. He's way bigger and stronger than me...but he's also my baby brother i.e 18 years old haha	/r/MensRights	24/07/12 02:43 AM
1	Three heroes died in Aurora taking bullets for their girlfriends I think it would be conditioned into people to sacrifice themselves to protect another person, but I feel that gender is just one part of it. This may sound redundant but people will make an effort to protect when they see themselves as the "protector" in that relationship or the person is there to take care of another. This could be a mother to her children, a husband to a wife, a friend to a friend, etc. The person would feel a compulsion based on the idea that the person they're with requires…	/r/MensRights	23/07/12 09:25 PM

-5	I'm a man, so I can't call the cops. The use of physical force is absolutely never justified. That being said, she's in the process of moving her stuff out, and you are yelling in her face...and later have to seek intervention from causing her immense physical harm. What she did was not ok...and domestic abuse against males should always be reported but you should consider that it doesn't matter if you didn't touch her, you were (by your description) definitely being violent.	/r/MensRights	22/04/12 02:48 AM
4	Who Needs Feminism campaign - WTF? Sure they may talk smack, but /r/feminism isn't exactly the flag bearer for feminism, it's the internet. One of my friends who is heavily involved with equity issues likes to ask me from time to time if I am a feminist. I always hesitate and finally feel comfortable saying "yes, in the scope of my definition." But I also believe that by being a feminist I am also an inherent supporter of men's rights.	/r/MensRights	14/04/12 08:22 AM

1	I hate this fucking attitude... Clubs offer drink discounts and free cover to encourage a higher female:male gender ratio. Are all those guys really at the club to just dance? No, of course not. In fact, more women mean that men would have to exert less "effort."	/r/MensRights	20/01/12 02:50 PM

1	MR folk, question: Are there varying degrees of rape? While it is wholly unfortunate that your defendant would probably consider this action a one-time thing, and an action that does not reflect his general character, it would be my understanding of law and justice is that his general character should not be the more relevant factor. I do believe in varying degrees of rape. HOWEVER, this is not because I do not consider "lesser" forms less heinous, but rather because I believe they should not even be included under the term rape. The very deplorabl…	/r/MensRights	19/05/11 03:27 AM
1	Yale Bans Iconic Fraternity for Fratboy Stunt 'Offensive' to Women I don't think anyone was expelled. The frat as an organization was punished, but I don't believe it extended to an individual level.	/r/MensRights	19/05/11 01:52 AM
2	Women march on parliament as their pensionable aged is moved... to match that of men Exactly. I think 9 years is definitely sufficient time to readjust working expectations, but the article paints a bigger picture relating to the rate of change as opposed to the change itself.	/r/MensRights	18/05/11 11:30 PM
6	"Women are more likely than men to stalk, attack and psychologically abuse their partners, according to a University of Florida study that finds college women have a new view of the dating scene." This article suggests / confirms some really troubling things about human nature given that it's associating a rise in female empowerment with violence. Though it would have been interesting to see a greater breakdown in "degrees" of violence. I am not suggesting that any form of violence is more acceptable than another, however there are differences in perceptions in what is considered physical violence when considering more minor offenses. For example, I've often seen instances with a girl and…	/r/MensRights	05/04/11 10:23 AM
