I mean, what do you think rubbing a stick a butter around someone's ass without their consent sound like to you? | /r/MensRights | 05/12/16 08:37 PM |

| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]And now I've painted you into a corner. You talk about how you don't go in circles, but you do. You talk about intellectual courage and integrity, which you don't have. You've shown yourself nothing to be a hypocrite and a troll. All you have is the last word, which you think means something. It doesn't. | /r/MensRights | 14/08/16 11:55 AM |

Head down to your local library, ask the librarian for a dictionary, and look it up yourself. | /r/MensRights | 12/08/16 10:08 AM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]You've already tried this one. We're talking about feminism as a whole, not some splinter group. Again, I could show you the lesbian separatists and I'd have proven the opposite. You know this but are too dishonest to admit it. Sure, then I would say to those lesbian separatists that starting your own community that excludes certain groups is not equal, hence not very feminist. I never said there's anything wrong with that logic. Then don't say "we've already went over this" in response to a que… | /r/MensRights | 12/08/16 09:31 AM |
| 0 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]I want an example of some kind that would demonstrate willingness to go both ways and not just one way Equity feminism. If you won't take my word for it, just search the subreddit. You never said what's wrong with the logic. I never said there's anything wrong with that logic. If you think killing everyone is the path to equality, you're free to think that. That's just not the kind of equality I'm talking about. What the hell is the point in talking to you then? That's on you. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/16 08:44 PM |
| 0 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]Out of context. If an example of feminism that even MRAs will get behind is not enough for you, then I don't know what is. Can't win them all, just like dictionary definitions. I'll take a good portion of MRAs. What's wrong with the logic then? We already went over this. Prove it. I'm open to change once it's reflected in the dictionary. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/16 07:53 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]I presume that was a typo. Yeah, it's suppose to read "She's a real life example of feminism...". Here's some examples of you asking: I'm asking you for a real world example Is there a single example of that ever occurring in the entire history of the movement? I want an example of some kind that would demonstrate willingness to go both ways Killing everybody is actually bringing about equality. Sucks when logic doesn't make you look good, right? That's not my logic. Somehow you got to there. So… | /r/MensRights | 10/08/16 04:43 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]The point is she's not representative of feminism. She's not a representative of feminism. She's a real life example of a feminism willing to go both ways, something you asked for. Which part of that reasoning do you have a problem with. Feminism is defined as something along the line of equality for women. People advocating for something about killing men or everybody is not equality. We already went over this. | /r/MensRights | 10/08/16 03:33 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]It's an example of what I'm saying, not what you're saying. Is she advocating for women's equality? And I think you fully understand that but are not honest enough to admit it. If it were acceptable to take her as an example of feminism, then so would Krista femitheist be. You're circling back pretty close to the that idea of killing everyone. So get some integrity and quit pretending not to understand that. The integrity is holding people to the dictionary definition. | /r/MensRights | 10/08/16 11:56 AM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]The War Against Boys is a real world example. She has a YouTube channel, Factual Feminist. Her willingness to go both ways has made her an ally to MRAs. Search for her name in this subreddit. | /r/MensRights | 09/08/16 08:24 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]Equity feminism is about the willingness to go both ways. You should check out Sommers's The War Against Boys. | /r/MensRights | 09/08/16 08:09 PM |

| 2 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]No. Feminism has a history of criticizing itself, and there are branches of feminism. They all have a foundation based on the belief of women's equality. | /r/MensRights | 09/08/16 10:35 AM |
| 2 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]Do you think equity and equality are the same thing? | /r/MensRights | 08/08/16 09:36 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]Sure, if feminism is belief in women's equality, and that person is working towards that. | /r/MensRights | 08/08/16 07:33 PM |

| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]I think it's more closely just seen as the women's movement. Sure, a women's movement for equality. | /r/MensRights | 07/08/16 08:25 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]Well then we're in agreement. Unless you still want to insist that those who have another definition are objectively incorrect. I've always insisted that people have been using it incorrectly compared to the dictionary. Absolutely not. While a definition is automatically also a meaning, the same is not true the other way round. Meaning is a much broader concept. A picture can have meaning. A facial expression or a poem can also have meanings. Sure, meaning can have a broader context, but I've be… | /r/MensRights | 07/08/16 02:34 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]So how is that statement supposed to persuade anyone that dictionaries have successfully described the general usage of feminism? It's not. If people have their own personal definition, or in your case no definition, that's fine. As the compilers of dictionaries, our job is to record the language as we see it being used today. The mantra we tend to intone on this subject is that dictionaries are ‘descriptive rather than prescriptive’: we aim to describe what’s actually going on in English rather… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/16 12:10 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]At no point did I say they were necessarily successful ;) In the case of feminism, they clearly aren't. If you want to say they are, then make a case for it. That's fine. General usage doesn't mean unanimous. You're slipping. Remember we had a back and forth in which it took forever to persuade you that I do not have a definition of feminism? Well, you've been using the word, so it has to stand for something. If you change the definition for it for whatever conversation you're having, that's on … | /r/MensRights | 05/08/16 09:41 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]You're the one who told me what dictionaries do: Dictionaries attempt to list the meanings of words by their general usage. Your personal definition of "feminism" has not achieved the standard of general usage. | /r/MensRights | 05/08/16 09:13 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]You already tried this. Here's what you said: Words do however have meanings that are agreed upon. Definitions are held to the highest standard in that regard. Dictionaries attempt to list the meanings of words by their general usage. Go look in a dictionary to see the general usage of "feminism". | /r/MensRights | 05/08/16 05:11 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]And I already told you that it cannot be incorrect when the meaning of words is determined by their usage and the usage of feminism is not equality. Yeah, and then I wrote: The dictionary defines incorrect as "not in accordance with particular standards or rules." The particular standard is being one of the definitions in the dictionary. If you want to make a secret language, knock yourself out. If you just want to go in circles, feel free to reread the conversation over and over. How about you … | /r/MensRights | 05/08/16 11:43 AM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]Then you're simply wrong because, as you agreed, most people reject the term feminism yet believe in equality thereby clearly not using it that way. You already tried this. I addressed this with: The definition works fine. I can't help that people use words incorrectly, and other people go along with it. If anything, that makes you the one with the "secret language". Nothing secret about it. It's all in the dictionary. I didn't ask you what CHS thinks. I think what CHS think. Wherever you planne… | /r/MensRights | 04/08/16 06:02 PM |

[Edited & reposted]Does it or does it not correctly describe the usage of the word "feminism"? I believe it does. You can say my usage doesn't correspond to the dictionary but you cannot declare mine to be incorrect because of that. The dictionary defines incorrect as "not in accordance with particular standards or rules." The particular standard is being one of the definitions in the dictionary.

[Edited & reposted]You've come a long way from "it means that and only that". Where did I say that? My position has always been the dictionary definition. Using something incorrectly in relation to something incorrect? I don't think the dictionary is incorrect. That's always been my position. You don't understand. In principle there's nothing "wrong" with using your own definition Sure, but like you said, "you cannot expect others to use it and you especially cannot declare them wrong for not using it." I mind you… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/16 05:52 PM |
| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]That means the word feminist is generally not used to mean equality of the sexes. No the word feminism still means something along the line of equality of the sexes. The issue is that people are bad at achieving that. Look, if you want to write to the dictionary, knock yourself out. Dictionaries simply list that usage and don't prescribe it. I agree. I simply just point out when people are using it incorrectly in relation to the dictionary. Sure, you can use your own personal definition of femin… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/16 04:12 PM |

No. Just like you, I'm just pointing out the inconsistency between their beliefs and their actions Have you even considered that maybe, just maybe, you are the one who has gotten Feminism wrong? Yes.

That's because it a lot of things are different. What about after birth? A pregnancy happened. What about the morning after pill etc? A pregnancy doesn't happen. A woman's choice is about pregnancy. If we were to have financial abortions, then a man's choice would be about legal status. It obviously doesn't or we wouldn't be having this argument.

So anybody who is pro-choice is automatically not a feminist then. Because pro-choice is automatically no-choice for the father - a blatant inequality that almost 100% of feminists passionately favor. No, because those people are making two different choices. The father is making the choice of whether another person should be going through a pregnancy or not. The mother is making the choice of whether she should go through with a pregnancy or not.

| 1 | I made this to rebut one of the dumbest & most common feminist claims: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist". [Edited & reposted]The definition is the definition. I mean, if you want to be like these so-called feminists who are using the word inaccurately, knock yourself out. If you want to add another definition to the word, I might be up for that. However, having a word with two meanings that are the opposite of each other is going to be confusing. | /r/MensRights | 02/08/16 04:08 PM |

Just like there have been feminists who have been bad, and just like there have been MRAs who have been bad. They can be considered bad because they violated the foundation.

Hence it's not a definition. Okay, the failure is not in the definition, but the person. It's not my statement. I found that contradiction in your position. It's up to you to deal with it. There's no contradiction for me. If a person tells me they are a feminist who also believes that men and women are inherently unequal, I tell them it can only be one or the other.

Feminists discussing "toxic masculinity" is little different than white supremacists attacking "ni**** culture" and "black violence."A comparable misuse of "femininity" as a concept would be a panel of misogynists sitting on a panel discussing the fact that toxic femininity is destroying the world, because, for example, women don't rise up against dictators as readily as men.

| 3 | Women choose to abort baby girls. Feminist complains and blame patriarchy.Many countries have a deep-seated cultural preference for sons over daughters.

I'm not sure Gallifreyans view sex and gender like Earthlings. Time Lords also have the ability to regenerate their bodies when their current body is mortally wounded. This process results in their body undergoing a transformation, gaining a new physical form and a new personality...hinting that Time Lords can switch genders upon their regenerations. | /r/MensRights | 04/11/14 09:53 PM |

| 1 | Is toxic masculinity just the result of a lack of the "right" kind of masculine role models?Not really. I mean, they acknowledge that there are social concepts of gender, but they see those concepts as having no legitimacy. As long as they acknowledge the concept. I don't think there is any MRA perspective on toxic masculinity; MRAs generally reject the concept as misleadingly reductive. That's why I'm asking the question and trying to work it from the beginning with other MRAs.

| 1 | Is toxic masculinity just the result of a lack of the "right" kind of masculine role models?However, it's been widely acknowledged that children (of both sexes) benefit from having fathers actively involved in their lives, so start with that.

| 2 | Is toxic masculinity just the result of a lack of the "right" kind of masculine role models?Yeah, I agree with you. Not all men have penises. This means 'men have penises' is not true.

| 13 | Why is it that simply disagreeing with modern feminism warrants hate and anger toward you?Feminism has great PR. Regardless of its action, the idea that feminism is the advocating of equality among the sexes on an economic, political, and societal level is what people think. What remains to be seen is if the next wave of feminism lives up to its ideals. | /r/MensRights | 29/10/14 12:12 PM |

Should it be considered in word against word cases?We can try to balance out inequalities between opponents Now, you've made the problem worse. Short people vs tall people, athletic vs obese, etc. There are too many factors to balance out. Besides. If you're old you must also consider that you have less life to lose. I think that should be balanced out with some disadvantage. How does this work? Are you saying that it's okay for old people to die because they've lived a long life? | /r/MensRights | 28/10/14 08:38 PM |

Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique examined the traditional female role and how it failed women, really just how it affected well-off white women. However, that was over 50 years ago, and people began to realize that being feminine is not exactly a bad thing. It's really only a bad thing when it's your only option and you are forced into that role.
