3	I couldn't have said it better myself I've never heard someone cite the 0.8% pay gap in Britain as a problem, or any similar stat that applies to other countries.	/r/MensRights	06/05/19 05:43 AM
14	Google Manager to Employees: "Next time you get invited to speak at a conference, especially if you’re a white male – ask the organizer to confirm you’re the only white male on the panel / in the speaker lineup. If not, say you are honored, but must decline, and give the reason." New ones can't run for office. There's no restriction on party membership or existing people.	/r/MensRights	04/02/18 07:23 PM

If not, say you are honored, but must decline, and give the reason." The federal NDP (Canada's left-wing party) requires that candidates for nomination be a member of an 'equity-seeking group'. Gerry Taft (who is married to a woman) revealed that he is bisexual after facing questions over his eligibility in the aftermath of his victory over a woman with a disability.	/r/MensRights	04/02/18 06:34 PM
18	Women still think men should give up seats in public transport I do the same, but I've added "people who ask politely" to my list as well. People with invisible disabilities are real, and important enough to justify giving my seat up for the occasional scammer.	/r/MensRights	24/07/17 10:31 PM
3	How do I explain to my feminist girlfriend that men are also oppressed? Intersectionality: the idea that multiple identities intersect to create a whole that is different from the component identities. Police brutality is not (primarily) a black people problem, it is a black men problem. Suicide is not a people with bad mental health problem, it is a men with bad mental health problem. Workplace deaths/injuries is not a lower-class people problem, it is a lower-class men problem. Repeat with every other example of disadvantages that some specified group of men face …	/r/MensRights	21/07/17 08:44 PM
1	4 Reasons the Wage Gap Isn't a Myth. What do you think about this? Why are you comparing Black/Native American/Latino women to white men? Wouldn't comparing them to Black/Native American/Latino men be better? "Non-Binary": Men and women make up ~99.5% of the population. At this scale, the rest is an unfortunate rounding error. It's about the same for straight marriage. "Female jobs are payed less than male jobs": Two explanations: Firstly, women (relatively) bargain for non-cash benefits like vacation time and health plans, while men (relatively) bargain more f…	/r/MensRights	06/07/17 03:31 AM
4	A man helped a lost toddler find her parents, police say. He was smeared online as a predator and fled town. The father made no apologies for his actions but told The Post, “All that matters is that my daughter is home safely.” That's the exact opposite of what that phrase means. "All that matters is..." is used to excuse other people when they make minor mistakes in important situations. If he had said "There should have been a well known procedure in place for lost children and a centralized location to go to, like an announcer's booth or customer service desk, but all that matters is that my daughte…	/r/MensRights	27/06/17 06:52 PM
1	What are some solid arguments against when feminists say that men can't get equivalent/equal rights as women during pregnancy because life is biologically unfair? Is/ought distinction. Just because biology is unfair, doesn't mean that society ought to be unfair as well.	/r/MensRights	17/06/17 08:16 PM
2	Refused a flat letting because I'm male If the person is living in the unit you would be renting, then they are legally allowed to discriminate for (almost?) any reason, regardless of whether they are the owner or if they would be sharing with you. If they're renting to you and not living in the unit, then more laws apply, depending on jurisdiction. Of course, none of that touches the social issue that discrimination is bad regardless of whether it's legal or not.	/r/MensRights	13/06/17 09:23 AM

3	Men are fighting back against sexual assault allegations, and 70% are winning the first four words of the Sixth Amendment For the lazy: "In all criminal prosecutions..."	/r/MensRights	30/04/17 12:42 AM
2	Men are fighting back against sexual assault allegations, and 70% are winning However, the issue is that there are probably a large number of students getting accused and expelled who can't afford to go double-or-nothing by hiring a lawyer. Hmm, that's a good point. Depending on a bunch of factors including the distribution of rich vs. poor accused, it could be that 70% is the "right" number from an expected-utility standpoint. If mid-poor students go when they're 99% sure of getting a settlement that easily, middle class ones when 75% sure, and rich ones when 20% sure, t…	/r/MensRights	29/04/17 07:16 AM
4	Men are fighting back against sexual assault allegations, and 70% are winning I agree with most of that, but the 70% figure doesn't tell you much about the colleges in isolation. It could be that they are uncontroversially right 99% of the time, give in 0.7% of the time, and fight 0.3% of the time, or it could be 10%/63%/27%. Even though it doesn't necessarily say anything about the college end of the equation, it does say something about the legal end: The fact that 70% of these motions are successful, combined with (my guesses of) the cost/benefit ratio of lawyer use vs…	/r/MensRights	29/04/17 05:41 AM
16	Men are fighting back against sexual assault allegations, and 70% are winning Victim advocates say that the lawsuits are an attempt to circumvent a system designed to keep colleges safe. I loled. The system of colleges dealing with sexual assault allegations is an attempt to circumvent the legal system for various reasons. I suppose that they can both circumvent each other, but I still laughed at that line.	/r/MensRights	29/04/17 05:04 AM

15	Men are fighting back against sexual assault allegations, and 70% are winning unless I'm missing something. Selection bias. It's 70% of people who are confident enough to go to a lawyer (etc.), not 70% of the accused in general. The ones who were clearly caught with strong evidence against them aren't part of the 30%.	/r/MensRights	29/04/17 04:57 AM

71	A Female 'Firefighter' Shows Why You'd Want a Man to Rescue You Lower fitness standards for women in police forces is the issue that I care least about, out of all gender-based double standards. Being a certain gender is useful for police officers because people (victims, witnesses, etc.) care about gender. Fires, heart attacks, and bombs don't care about gender at all.	/r/MensRights	29/09/16 06:06 PM
