| 5 | Lovely lads, is there a personal reason you identify as an MRA and not an egalitarian (not associated with feminism)? Or do you see them as synonymous? And if so, do you recommend it for others?Well arguably MRM IS obfuscating, because there's a greater focus on egalitarianism than the name would suggest. I know I'm not articulating myself in the best way, I'll try and frame my main point more clearly: The phrase "Men's Rights Movement" is very pointed and direct. Taken at face value, it is a phrase that is most easily interpreted as "a movement that supports and works towards men's rights". To that end, it is not a phrase that inherently states "a movement that supports and works towa… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 02:23 PM |

And if so, do you recommend it for others?[Shrug] That's your opinion. I'm simply pointing out that the word "feminism" is a far more useful word in terms of attempting to obfuscate actual considerations of the movement than MRM or MHRM are. I would argue against your saying that women were borderline second class citizens after WW2. Did they have it worse than men? In some ways definitely. Overall? I don't feel confident making that judgement, I don't think anybody should be. It is a typical case that people over-look the sacrifices th… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 01:36 PM |

And if so, do you recommend it for others?It's something that often pops into my head when I'm just pottering around and thinking about conversations I might have in relatino to human rights. Feminism, a word that is definitely more ambiguous than "Men's Rights Movement" or "Men's Human Rights Movement" is amusingly not focused on egalitarianism (regardless of whether moderate feminists are or not). In contrast, MRM and MHRM are enormous proponents of egalitarianism, though it does tend to have a bit more of a focus on men, due to the n… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 11:07 AM |

Both Feminism and the MHRM have come a long way since then. It's not pleasant to see how we were represented back then but, much like the article claims the MHRM was, this can be attributed simply to backlash against competition. An attempt to cut the head of the snake before it had been properly birthed, perhaps.

In a lot of cases, the moderate voices are not moved to protest (though there are definitely cases where they are), so while they may identify as part of a given movement, they do not necessarily care for the internal politics or the actual direction of their movement, until it actually becomes negative nomenclature.

What immediately strikes me is that they've taken an undergraduate sample. Often this is a sign of conveniencing sampling, and while this isn't necessarily a bad thing, if they've only done a survey on undergraduate women at the university which sponsored the study, this is less generalisable and a bit more specific.

Also, the fact that you linked statistics of "violent crime", which are not specifically gun-related, and also have nothing to do with the topic under discussion which is mass-shootings (which obviously involves the use of firearms), means that what you're saying has no bearing on my proposition for research into this particular phenomenon.

It also specifically says that it is not a proven statement, and that yes, it is conjecture, based on a logical proposition that could form the basis of research to test whether we can reject the null-hypothesis.

Now if I were to say to you: 'Vanilla is the best flavour ice-cream', you'd say... Joey Naylor: No, chocolate is. Nick Naylor: Exactly, but you can't win that argument... so, I'll ask you: so you think chocolate is the end all and the all of ice-cream, do you? Joey Naylor: It's the best ice-cream, I wouldn't order any other. Nick Naylor: Oh! So it's all chocolate for you is it? Joey Naylor: Yes, chocolate is a… | /r/MensRights | 25/11/12 06:29 PM |
| 2 | Experience at the museum today.I would also like to express my thanks for this positive story. I did notive something here though, about myself. All throughout reading this post I was apprehensive of what was about to happen, and thinking back on stories like this I have felt this sort of apprehension nearly every time. I have been conditioned to expect a negative outcome from any sort of story like this. This is dysfunctional, and it should not be. I remember when I was younger, I had no fear of interacting with children, no… | /r/MensRights | 25/11/12 05:38 PM |
| 2 | So I asked my university subreddit why there's no men's centre.On this I completely agree with you. Seriously, every point of your post. I'd love it if diction were more accurately practiced, particularly in relation to this debate. The words misandry and misogyny and bantered around far too frequently and in largely incorrect circumstances. Something may be sexist, but that does not also make it misogynistic or misandristic. Those words are specifically defined by a hatred. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 05:18 PM |
| 5 | So I asked my university subreddit why there's no men's centre.Ah I see. You're content to stick to the idea that what something is defined as is what happens in real life. That's cute. If feminism was actually what you're purporting it to be, it would not NEED to be called feminism. It could simply be called egalitarianism. Yet it is not. And its proponents, speakers, literature and held ideals uphold your definitions of feminism in exactly the same way that I have already outlined to you. I am willing to concede that the definition of feminism is differen… | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 04:22 PM |
| 3 | So I asked my university subreddit why there's no men's centre.Yeah, perhaps don't focus solely on reddit and actually go out and meet a cross-section of feminists. Also do some research on the way feminist literature and speakers promote misandry and the lack of equality. The definition you have put forth is inherently incorrect when you try and clarify it as equality. That's total, utter, absolute bullshit. "Equality for women" is not what feminism is pushing for at all because it refuses to acknowledge, let alone change, the enormous amount of influence … | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 03:37 PM |
| 7 | An article in my school's newpaper today. Horrible.The friend zone is not a real thing, that is one point the author has correct. However the associations with rape culture, misogyny and the threat of violence at the end takes any and all credibility away from the author. I want someone to call the author out on the last part, particularly. I want them to go up to the author, ask them what they would say if a man threatened them with violence, and then repeat it back to them word for word. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 11:58 AM |
| – | So I asked my university subreddit why there's no men's centre.Perhaps not specifically misandry, and there are plenty of people out there who are more "equalists" than they are "feminists". But there is a lot of hatred towards men that is propagated by feminism literature and speakers, and this carries over to many of its 'disciples'. Not to mention the blatant inequality of women over men that feminism pushes. | /r/MensRights | 24/11/12 10:43 AM |
