1	Are there any legitimate feminist issues in the U.S. even MRAs universally agree on? That's not the same thing at all. We're talking about whether or not a private business owner should be able to make judgments about applicants based on reality and previous experience. It's simply not realistic to expect an employer to sift through hundreds of resumes and sit through tons of interviews just to find the needle in the haystack woman who might be able to do the job. Men are physically stronger than women, this is a fact. Our bodies are built differently. We can make the assumption…	/r/MensRights	19/09/14 01:15 PM
1	Are there any legitimate feminist issues in the U.S. even MRAs universally agree on? I've forgotten to shave a couple of times when rushing out of the house in the morning. It's never been commented on. Imagine a woman going out in a skirt with hairy legs. My girlfriend doesn't say anything if I forget to shave. I also have never said something if she forgets to shave her legs. Perhaps some people might, but I don't think that's a huge issue in the grand scheme of things. If I come to work unshaven, the owner of the company will say something. That's because they require you to …	/r/MensRights	18/09/14 01:34 PM
3	Are there any legitimate feminist issues in the U.S. even MRAs universally agree on? but the way they try to tackle them I agree! Furthermore, I don't think that they always have to mean to hurt men in order to do so. Sometimes they hurt men just by repeating their nonsense. For example, The Ban Bossy campaign. It seemed harmless enough for them to claim that little girls were being held back by a word. The problem, though, was/is two fold: 1) They blatantly lied about their data and it turns out boys were almost as likely to report not wanting to be leaders because of the word …	/r/MensRights	17/09/14 02:22 PM
1	Are there any legitimate feminist issues in the U.S. even MRAs universally agree on? due to things like busboys and hostesses doing the same job yet the busboys being paid more per hour. I understand you said "if this is true", but there's no possible way for them to know that. In most studies, once you account for all variables, there's simply no way to know what to attribute the remaining gap to. This is why feminists are so wrong on this issue. Most credible studies reduce the gap to 6 or 7% after accounting for all possible variables. I am an Executive Recruiter by trade, wh…	/r/MensRights	17/09/14 02:13 PM
1	Are there any legitimate feminist issues in the U.S. even MRAs universally agree on? Women are judged more by their looks, less by their accomplishment First, I don't think this is necessarily true these days. Studies have shown that "attractive people" are more successful than unattractive people and that is true for both genders. Physical attraction is just as important to women as it is to men. Being judged by your looks isn't any worse than being judged by your accomplishments. Women are valued for their looks because historically, in exchange for reproductive access, men tr…	/r/MensRights	17/09/14 02:06 PM
2	Someone asked me about what is my problem with Feminism,so I answered Great post. I agree with most of what you said, although I'm not sure I agree with your insinuation that men are more likely to objectify. (Unless I misinterpreted and you were not insinuating that?) Women are just as likely to objectify it's just that we don't point it out every time they do it. Everyone experiences physical attraction. Being attracted to someone for their physical qualities does not equate to objectifying them. When a woman posts pictures of shirtless firefighters on her Faceb…	/r/MensRights	16/09/14 04:50 PM
2	Why get worked up over men dying, when women are learning less money? I agree with some of what you say, especially that we have much bigger fish to fry. But I do want to point out that the point is that just because there is some portion of the gap we can't explain, people don't get to automatically point at it and say it's because of discrimination. Most studies put the remaining gap at 6 or 7% after accounting for most variables. However, I can give you a single variable that would explain that entire remaining gap: salary negotiation. I'm an Executive Recruite…	/r/MensRights	15/09/14 08:26 PM
2	Why get worked up over men dying, when women are learning less money? This is much more common than you seem to realize. I worked in construction from the ages of 18-24. I saw countless women who were hired but who either could not do the job, or they weren't able to keep pace with men when they did the job. From 24-28 I worked for Rent-A-Center. Rent-A-Center lost a lawsuit in the early 2000's for "discriminating against women". The problem is that most women simply cannot do the job. Most women can't move big screen TV's up flights of stairs. Most women cannot s…	/r/MensRights	15/09/14 08:21 PM
1	Real meaning of creep confirmed Yes, except that studies have shown that men are far less obsessed with height than women are and they were more willing to be flexible on their likes/dislikes and expectations regarding height. Studies have also shown that 80+% of women want to date a man 6' or taller even though only 14.9% of men are 6' or taller and only 3.6% of men are 6'2 or taller. I highly doubt you could find any single feature that 80+% of men agree on. I do agree with your broader point though that sometimes women are …	/r/MensRights	15/09/14 06:41 PM
2	Real meaning of creep confirmed I agree. I wouldn't call it shallow, though. I mean, it's called physical attraction for a reason. My problem is that women are much more likely to create a double standard when it comes to preferences. They shame men for being attracted to skinny girls or girls with big tits. They call them shallow, say they're objectifying women, etc. But it's perfectly okay for women to prefer tall men (even when it's completely unrealistic) or to post pictures of shirtless firefighters on their Facebook wall…	/r/MensRights	15/09/14 04:54 PM
5	Is anyone here willing to admit they are a feminist also? most feminists hold these beliefs. You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what "all, some, or most" feminists believe. What matters is what the movement actually achieves. It's not anecdotal evidence. I can cite numerous examples with links to studies and evidence. What do you want to discuss? Domestic violence? Divorce and child custody? The Ban Bossy campaign? They are all very clear examples.	/r/MensRights	15/09/14 04:39 PM
5	Is anyone here willing to admit they are a feminist also? Here's where you went wrong: some fragments of the feminist movement are off their rocker But it's not just "some fragments". I don't care what feminists say they believe, I care what the movement actually does. I can cite numerous examples of mainstream feminism pushing for things that are the complete antithesis of equality, and I can show examples of them doing things that directly harm men. Can you point to mainstream examples of MRA's getting legislation passed that hurt women? Can you poin…	/r/MensRights	15/09/14 04:28 PM
3	"A man should never hit a woman" -- Why not? Imo the retaliation has to be 'reasonable' This sounds good in theory, but I don't think it's very realistic. For one, it's difficult to know exactly how much force to use on someone. The idea is that you are defending yourself, and you are trying to put an end to the threat. If you don't use enough, you could be hurt or killed yourself. But if you use too much, suddenly you're going to jail because "you are stronger". I just don't think it's reasonable to say "retaliation has to be reasonable".…	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 06:01 PM
5	Differing opinion - get him in trouble where he works - feminist bullying at best! I also love how it only takes one or two responses before they pull out the word "misogynistic". Disagreeing with a female? You hate females. Claiming (whether true or false) that women don't know what they want? You hate females. I mean seriously, feminists think that anything you say means you hate females. Here's a list of words I wish we could make vanish from the English language: misogynist patriarchy creep/creepy rape trigger	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 05:50 PM
3	Fox guest host says "no man should hit a women or vice versa" and that causes offense to the women hosts Yep, we saw this exact argument when Solange attacked Jay Z in that elevator. A lot of women thought it was funny. Many of them said "what did he do to her to make her so angry?" as if anything he did made him deserve to get the shit slapped out of him.	/r/MensRights	12/09/14 05:25 PM
