2	Would you choose to help another Woman over your own Son? Here’s the thing. Dealing with your emotions is a self-maintenance chore just as much as brushing your teeth or going to the doctors. It falls exactly under the “shit you don’t want to do” but have to category also. So take your own advice, my dude.	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/11/20 06:21 PM
0	When a feminist ignores the fact that we as men don’t have enough light on our struggles, this is why we need some attention on men’s day... we need to downvote this bullshit Okay. So drum up attention on international men’s day like the post you linked suggested to do. Why crosspost something you didn’t even bother to read? Smh.	/r/MensRights	08/03/20 10:18 PM
-2	Man kills wife and kids, Detective Inspector ask community to come forward with information, because maybe he had reasons that pushed him too far. Inspector forced to "step down" for sexist comment. The victim here was a mother and her children. Last I checked 3 people don’t make up a single female gender. And like I said before it’s the “or” statement that really gets him here. Domestic violence or some other reason? While he did not say those reasons were validated, by pitting those reasons against domestic violence he essentially excludes domestic violence as a reason. No one should be questioning if domestic violence has occurred here. It has. And questioning whether domestic violence h…	/r/MensRights	21/02/20 05:23 PM
-4	Man kills wife and kids, Detective Inspector ask community to come forward with information, because maybe he had reasons that pushed him too far. Inspector forced to "step down" for sexist comment. "Is this an issue of a woman suffering significant domestic violence and her and her children perishing at the hands of the husband, or is this an instance of a husband being driven too far by issues that he's suffered by certain circumstances into committing acts of this form?" Of course investigators need to investigate the reasons. But this inspector literally pitted the idea of the husband having reasons to commit this heinous crime vs his family being in a domestic violence situation. Inten…	/r/MensRights	21/02/20 05:07 PM
2	Why is there this sense that men must justify their existence? If I make a piece of artwork it is “born” with innate value and desirability. As people, all of us must work to be valuable to society. And that’s the difference here. You’re saying that these things are complete positives, but they aren’t (they can be positive but often aren’t). It’s the difference between being valued as an object and being valued as a person. Only objects have innate value, person on the other hand grow and change and adapt. Women want to be viewed as the latter. This kind of…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/09/19 05:47 PM
1	Why is there this sense that men must justify their existence? I would love being a cat lady. However, I’m not free of judgement. Judgement by others still affects my mental wellbeing. It’s somewhat of an irrational fear, but I am deathly afraid that if I’m not successful in my career that in my old age people will look to me as this... Broken package that something was wrong with. That they’ll see a woman who “couldn’t land a man” instead of the vibrant talented person I know I am today. I definitely don’t want to feel this way. But it’s still my biggest f…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/09/19 05:30 PM
1	Is Sexual Liberation a facade? Feminism has tried this. The backlash has been “forced diversity” and “fat people are ugly” and increasing hate and vitriol.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/09/19 05:24 PM
1	What do men offer in relationships in this day and age? I’m not looking for a romantic relationship (with men or women), but I value the perspective my male friends bring into my life. Being around women all the time is a blast, but sometimes it’s refreshing to spend some time with men. As much as I like to play up the similarities between men and women, I do acknowledge that there are fundamental differences including differences in perspectives. It’s nice to have some men in our lives. But other than that... I’m not personally sure.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/09/19 08:38 AM
1	[CMV] You've Taken The Red Pill, But You're Still In The Matrix Except every “realization” you listed is dead wrong. Feminism has its downfalls but it’s hardly built on lies. Feminism has given a person like me, an aromantic woman with no interest in marriage or children, a place in this world. Feminism has allowed women to be self suffices should we choose. Women still choose kind and decent men (who are likely to make good spouses and fathers) to marry. “Bad boys” are a fantasy young girls engage in because it’s sexy and dangerous. It is hardly a reality. …	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/09/19 08:26 AM
18	Why is there this sense that men must justify their existence? Let me perhaps offer a more feminine perspective. It’s bitter backlash against a reality women have lived for all of human history. Only recently have we moved past women’s worth being only in her looks and her ability to rear children. (We’re not totally past this mind you, and in someways lookism has gotten even worse). I’m not trying to defend these sexist messages, but explain why they exist. Every girl at some point in her life asks herself “am I only valued for how good looking I am?” Ever…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/09/19 07:53 AM
1	Is Sexual Liberation a facade? I comment the much the same but you laid it out far better than I did! My only criticism is that many modern feminists do realize this. In my feminist circles this is an oft brought up topic. Still now sure how to address it though. :\ So far the only conclusions reached is for media to either stop sexualizing women or to sexualize men more. Society seems to be leaning towards the second. And while as a bisexual this makes my lizard brain happy, intellectually I feel like these “solutions” leave…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/09/19 07:29 AM
2	Is Sexual Liberation a facade? The problem for me is that sexual liberation has largely been for male and corporate benefit. Women still suffer the ill effects of being sexually free. We’re still punished for being promiscuous, we’re punished with pregnancy and unfair abortion laws, we’re punished with victim blaming, etc. etc. What sexual liberation has done instead is make it more acceptable for media to sexualize women for profit. It’s all the glamour and virtue signaling without the actual sexual liberation of women thems…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/09/19 07:24 AM
1	Imagine Brie Larson in Gadot's place! What would her reaction be to this? Im guessing an awkwardly long death stare. Except all Marvel movies have had progressive political “agendas” since the very beginning? The entire MCU began with Iron Man and the backlash of arms dealing in middle eastern counties. But I guess y’all just gotta cheery pick what you get mad at. Ie: Women.	/r/MGTOW	16/06/19 09:04 AM
1	Wouldn't sex with a woman who is wearing makeup or undergone plastic surgery also apply to 'gains it through deception'? Ah. And there it is. The incel in denial. Have fun with your pseudo intellectualism and sexism poorly disguised as “men’s rights”. Keep on making blanket statements about women. That’ll show us feminist sexists! You people make a joke of actual issues men face. You cannot even call yourself a man. You plainly just hate women and you hurt men everywhere. Oh? And shaming women for having sex? And insisting that women who enjoy sex will always cheat? Tell me again about how men are so so oppressed …	/r/MensRights	10/06/19 09:15 PM
0	Wouldn't sex with a woman who is wearing makeup or undergone plastic surgery also apply to 'gains it through deception'? As often as guys whining about condoms being uncomfortable? And the thing about babies is that asshole guys also do that to trap women into marriages. So it’s doubly worse for women. Quit your whining. Not wearing a condom also has the added danger of contracting STDs. Not that I’m trying to say it’s worse for women. Just that your bashing of women and “double standards” is bs. Shit like that rarely happens. The law is important. “Most women.” Honestly the conversation should’ve ended the moment…	/r/MensRights	10/06/19 07:57 PM
0	Wouldn't sex with a woman who is wearing makeup or undergone plastic surgery also apply to 'gains it through deception'? Most women... say they’re going to wear a condom and then don’t? Which is what the law is referring to? Bitch, please. Also, if you’re gonna complain about women wearing makeup then men should stop wearing facial hair, as it’s deceptive to how they actually look. Sound ridiculous? Well so does the rest of you.	/r/MensRights	10/06/19 05:00 PM
1	I have it figured out You should give a shit. Considering the potential damage you could cause with your wrong, sexist, and dangerous line of thinking. I’m only responding because you keep responding. Why ask me questions if you don’t want a reply? Want to stop sexism against men in society? You can’t do so by acting sexist against women either. You can’t fight sexism with sexism.	/r/MensRights	27/05/19 03:19 AM
1	I have it figured out My evidence comes from actual researchers who have conducted actual research. Yours comes from... you.	/r/MensRights	27/05/19 02:46 AM
1	I have it figured out You have no proof or evidence it is so. Why do you believe that you know more than actual professional researchers who have conducted actual peer reviewed polling and surveying?	/r/MensRights	25/05/19 05:43 PM
1	You can never appease feminists What? This is a human rights issue. This is a human rights issue. It’s either you’re with us or your against us. You either support women keeping their basic human rights or you... don’t. That’s why you don’t get a say. It’s referring to men who are voting to take away women’s rights. Men should not be able to get a say in wanting to take away a women’s rights. Let me ask you this: Should women get a say in whether men should be forced to get vasectomies? If not, then should only male tax payer …	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 05:15 PM
1	I have it figured out “Only the vast majority” This is where you are wrong. You cannot prove this without hard evidence. It’s just hearsay and baseless speculation on your part. You have not done any actual polling on this and you’re theorizing is far less trust worthy than the statistics and research actually performed by professionals. What makes you think you know more than people who actually do this for a living? You hear these girls because they are vocal about it. Representation bias is a big thing. Have you s…	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 05:02 PM
1	You can never appease feminists I’m confused what you mean by both ways? What don’t men get a say in? If you are referring to child support I’ve already stated my view on that above. But if it is about men’s say in a women’s right to have an abortion, he shouldn’t get a say. Or rather, he doesn’t get to decide that she cannot get one. But it’s really more about the hypocrisy of legislators (men) passing laws restricting women’s rights on things they could never ever experience or understand (short of the satirical legislation …	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 11:22 AM
2	Exactly what they asked for. They cannot. That is illegal as well. Also, just because I can give up a child for adoption does not mean I’m suddenly free of consequences of a pregnancy. It’s still poses a danger to my life. It’s still causes major bodily altercations to me. It’s still several months of severe hormonal changes and stress and pain. It’s still a painful medical procedure to give birth that could result in tearing, nerve end damages, weeks to months worth of recuperation, and even death. It’s also the fact that …	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 10:45 AM
1	I have it figured out You do not have it figured out and I would be very careful with this line of thinking. I certainly wouldn’t share this theory. You could really hurt someone actually suicidal if you told them they were just doing it for attention. Here’s an example: When I was 13 I attempted suicide (am female). I drank table polish and was extremely sick for a whole week. But my liver managed to get work through it and I didn’t die. But I did drink enough that I could’ve died. I’ve never told my family. I’ve on…	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 10:37 AM
1	Not liking captain marvel is sexist now?? I mean. It’s only because CM is actually getting a lot of attention from sexist/incel groups. On its first release date it got low score brigaded by these groups. So much so that Rotton Tomatoes made changes to their review policy (though they did not explicitly state it was because of CM, but we know). And it largely has to do with Brie Larson being a fairly vocal feminist and garnering a lot of unwarranted hate. You can dislike the movie if you want. I’m just explaining where the backlash you …	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 10:27 AM
0	Women should not have the right to vote in countries where only men can be drafted. Yeah. Except you lose anyone who would’ve liked to listen to you the moment you say sexist shit like that. I had to scroll all the way down here to find out that you don’t actually believe women should have their voting rights revoked. Before now I was truly disgusted with your title. I’m not going to waste my time listening to an opinion of a person who immediately presents themselves are radicle and crazy. There are way to make productive attention grabbing and “radical” proposals to point out…	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 10:22 AM
1	Why the abortion law screws over men too I think it’s more along the lines of a lot of guys being pissed/disillusioned with feminism on this sub and saying “if they don’t support mens rights I won’t bother with women’s”. This post is just a gentle reminder that abortion laws effect everyone. Maybe to a lesser extent, but it’s still an issue that greatly affects men.	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 10:17 AM
1	Why the abortion law screws over men too Actually when it comes to whether or not to abort, it’s a women’s body. It has fuck all to do with the fetus. However, child support really does needs to depend on who wants to keep the child anyways. If he wants to walk away he should be able to. If she wants to abort the child she should be able to. But if he wanted the child he should pay.	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 10:14 AM
1	Why the abortion law screws over men too Hell, I’m getting my tubes tied as soon as possible but even I’m still going to make sure he wears a condom. Just wear condoms everyone! No one actually wants to get an abortion. So let’s avoid it if at all possible and make sure that shit stays as Plan C.	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 10:12 AM
1	How is punishing men good in any circumstance? If you’re upset by this tweet then it’s working. If you’re upset by this tweet you should support abortions. As that’s what this tweet is about. Suggesting outrageous legislation that mirrors the current anti-abortions laws but spun in a different direction. No one actually wants to do this to men as it is a major violation of autonomy. It’s to show men who may not have stakes in this argument how awful it actually is. Major whooosh on your part, OP.	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 09:43 AM
1	This shit is going round instagram. It’s a load of shit These are real quotes. And I can’t imagine how they could be much better even in context. Why is this a load of shit, OP?	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 09:42 AM
1	You can never appease feminists I mean. Obviously she isn’t talking about all men. But the sex turn out at these rallies are pretty telling. It’s only natural though. People tend to place less stakes on issues that don’t directly affect them. It’s a shame but not unexpected. It happens all the time with all sorts of movements.	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 09:35 AM
2	You can never appease feminists Except many feminists talk about these topics all the time. I actually learned about these issues plaguing men from feminists on feminist subs. And usually the only time I hear about them from men is when they’re trying to talk down on feminism. It’s just when we’re talking about a women’s issue, we aren’t going to redirect the conversation suddenly to talk about other issues. Be they male issues or race issues or some other issue that maybe related but aren’t the current topic. But that doesn’t…	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 09:32 AM
1	You can never appease feminists A pregnancy is a two person job. Abortion is beneficial to both men and women. Why should only women pay for them??? Obviously though, if the couple is in disagreement on the abortion, the one who wants the abortion should pay for it. But the idea that the money funding planned parenthood should only come from women is insane and sexist. There’s a reason it’s called planned parenthood and not planned motherhood. Contraceptives, sex education, and abortions are good for everyone.	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 09:23 AM
1	You can never appease feminists Ok. Let’s halt here for a moment with this false equivalence. One is men making political choices that allow women to make choices for their own bodies. The other is men just straight up making choices for women’s bodies. One is in support of people (women in this case) having autonomy over their own bodies. The other is straight up just controlling their bodies.	/r/MensRights	24/05/19 09:19 AM
1	I don't like when it is Women against Men, and Men against Women discussion. I’m sensing a lot of projection here and I’m honestly at a loss as to where to begin with your counter argument. As a woman myself, you clearly have not spoken with enough irl women. I’m sensing that whatever I say you’re just going to say “no, I’m right you’re wrong”, so I suppose this isn’t really going anywhere, so I’ll just leave it here. Also, please refrain from speaking to me in a patronizing tone. I haven’t spoken to you like you’re a child, just as someone I believe could benefit from g…	/r/MensRights	25/04/19 05:47 AM
1	I don't like when it is Women against Men, and Men against Women discussion. Man-hating people by definition cannot be feminists. So they aren’t feminists. Why should I give up the name of my movement because you guys keep associating it with a vocal minority of women. Also, I suppose it is entirely possible that you’ve met an abnormal amount of sexist women. But I know I’ve only met one outside of the internet and no one I know has met one in person either. So color me skeptical. Or it could be entirely possible as well, since you seem to believe 95% of feminists hate m…	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 04:34 PM
1	I don't like when it is Women against Men, and Men against Women discussion. Perhaps you should speak to more women.	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 08:45 AM
1	I don't like when it is Women against Men, and Men against Women discussion. Those are the vocal minority. Kinda sexist of you to believe that nearly most women hate men, seeing as about half of women identify as feminists. We don’t hate men, fyi. You’re getting mad at actual sexists and attributing their toxic beliefs to the rest of us. That’s unfair.	/r/MensRights	24/04/19 07:08 AM
2	I don't like when it is Women against Men, and Men against Women discussion. I wouldn’t call women who put men down for being men feminists. That’s too radical. I’m sorry you’ve had those experiences though. :(	/r/MensRights	31/03/19 08:32 AM

That kind of mentality is borderline sociopathic. You’re straying very close to r/incels Now obviously if sex is THAT important to you, and you aren’t getting enough of it in a current relationship, then the only thing to do is to work it out with her or break up. But she doesn’t owe you jack shit. Especially not her body or sex. r/mensrights is not r…	/r/MensRights	31/03/19 05:25 AM
1	How do I get 22 downvotes for standing up for equal representation?! It’s because you and thousands of other men bombard IWD posts with “what about IMD?” Which would be a totally cool question to ask... if you hadn’t asked it on IWD. It just comes off as whiny. It’s not just you. It was a group effort. Most men only care about IMD on IWD and it’s very frustrating.	/r/MensRights	31/03/19 04:02 AM
1	How do I get 22 downvotes for standing up for equal representation?! I disagree. I’m all for celebrating IMD, but it’s super annoying that the only time of year that people even give a fuck about IMD is on IWD. It’s like if I never bothered to celebrate my birthday but miraculously, on your birthday, I decided to make a big deal about my birthday. The anger that led to the mass downvote wasn’t directed at his comment specifically, but more a general frustration with the endless “but what about IMD!!” that never fails to crop up during IWD. Just take a look at goo…	/r/MensRights	31/03/19 03:52 AM

1	Sex costs no matter what you do OR sex is something that people share with each other? And in this case a man and a woman. It’s not a commodity to be bought. If you do something for her, it’s because you care about her, not for the sex. If she does something for you, it’s because she cares about you, not because she wants you to pay for shit. This is a horrible mentality. If you’re dating the kind of people that want a quid pro quo relationship, then obviously this is what you get. But most people aren’t like this. Sex doesn’t…	/r/MensRights	31/03/19 03:39 AM
1	Ghostbusters Let’s not be unfair here. Most of those movies are also made with a male audience in mind. The main female lead is often (not always, but often) in various states of undress, is good at some skill men can respect (such as combat), and absolutely not made with a female audience in mind (the only one that doesn’t fit these descriptions is The Babadook). Ghostbusters 2016 was not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it was certainly made to appeal more to a female audience. A lot of…	/r/MensRights	31/03/19 03:23 AM
