2	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix I can't roll back my eyes far enough to react appropriately to this. Sure, there's some sort of cost to the continued use of the multicultural center and to all the resources a university provides and I'm sure we could find a way to put a price tag on 1 hour of using that room and find out how much of it is paid from tuition or grants or whatever funding they use for the multicultural center, and label that as money being lost. Do I get a gold star now? This is so insignificant. It's one room fo…	/r/MensRights	21/01/17 12:10 AM
6	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix Personally, I don't like the trend of making words taboo because of context and history. We can separate segregation from the history of racial segregation and still use it as a word in conversation. And even words that have no other merit, like nigger... it's not like I want to run around calling people nigger but I think grown adults saying "the n word" in conversation like we're trying to avoid saying swear words in front of the kids is really odd behavior.	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 10:46 PM
2	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix If women need safe spaces where men aren't present, it implies that men are dangerous to have around and thus are problematic. The problem is that "safe space" is just a catchy term that needs to be understood in context. It's not really about safety or danger but about creating exclusive spaces where we can narrow our focus and follow a certain set of rules. Pretty much every subreddit is some kind of safe space. But the implications of "safe" have led to this distorted narrative you talk about…	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 09:55 PM
1	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix Definitely. Gender issues affect both men and women and there needs to be space to focus exclusively on men's issues. Didn't mean to imply that men were as unaffected as non-asthmatics in my dumb analogy, just that we shouldn't base it on "well they have a space so we should too" but rather focus on the need that drives the desire for a separate space. Because realistically, Muslim men don't have a need for a private lunch space because they don't have headscarves.	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 08:51 PM
2	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix They definitely should if they ask for it, with no uproar or fanfare or backlash. But it's unreasonable to say that for every x group getting a private space, their counterpart group should automatically get the same. There might be no need. Like if people with asthma wanted a space to talk about their issues, we wouldn't automatically need a space for non-asthmatics to talk about their issues. It should be driven by need and open to everyone.	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 08:10 PM
1	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix I see your point. If it were a concert hall that the university was renting out to groups for a fee, but giving to this group for free, I'd be upset. But it seems like it's just a room in the multicultural center and there's no money being lost. I don't know, I just don't think it's a big deal. But I get the issue is not that this is happening, but that it might be an issue if men asked for the same.	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 08:05 PM
4	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix I don't see a problem with state entities providing space for religious things as long as they're theoretically providing space for any religion that wants it. At my university there were all kinds of religious groups that used campus space for their meetings. Separation of church and state is a phrase that's too widely applied. As long as nobody is forcing me to participate what does it matter.	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 07:48 PM
2	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix That's what I'm saying.	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 07:22 PM
5	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix So you're saying I'm right - the only issue with this is that there would be outrage if Muslim men wanted to have a segregated time/space only for them? I'm of the opinion that they should be able to. I'm trying to understand if y'all agree with me, or if you think the idea of men's or women's only spaces is entirely wrong?	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 07:00 PM
2	New to /MR sub and philosophy. Naturally, it made me more aware of feminism's "claims" (I am afraid to use that word...) Did I just discovered something after 30+ years? I'm a woman and I struggle a lot with this narrative that women are always terrified of being raped or assaulted. On the one hand, an overwhelming majority of the women I know have been sexually abused in some way - molested, assaulted, or raped - whereas it's not as widespread of an issue with the men in my life. But in almost all of these stories, the assault is committed by a close relative or a boyfriend/husband. That doesn't really match up with the idea that we're constantly in fear that e…	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 06:48 PM
-8	University of Kansas maintains women's-only lunchroom for Muslims - The College Fix I don't think this a problem for men's rights. Any group that has a need for a private/closed space should be able to have it. Is the implicit issue that if a group of male Muslim students wanted a segregated space it would be seen as an issue?	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 06:22 PM
3	Furious feminists angrily attack Chris Pratt's new movie "Passengers" as "opressive rape culture", "Christ Pratt should kill himself!" and "space rape!" because it shows compassion for a man in an impossible hard situation Spoiler alert, obviously. The story in the trailer is that a guy and a girl are mysteriously woken up early from their cryogenic whatever pods and doomed to die alone together in space instead of waking up with everyone else when they reach the destination planet for colonization. The twist is that the guy is the only one to have mysteriously woken up, and he decides to wake up the girl himself in order to escape his own isolation, but lie to her about his part in it. When she finds out, she's m…	/r/MensRights	20/01/17 12:59 AM
