| 13 | Feminists fighting for men's rightsIt was feminist Mary P. Koss who influenced our current laws on rape and she has explicitly stated that she crafted them in such a way as to exclude men from rape by women in the expected way: "“Although consideration of male victims is within the scope of the legal statutes, it is important to restrict the term rape to instances where male victims were penetrated by offenders. It is inappropriate to consider as a rape victim a man who engages in unwanted sexual intercourse with a woman. p. 206”… | /r/MensRights | 18/07/22 01:41 AM |

| 8 | What if there was a “This One’s for the Boys” song?I like listening to country music for nostalgia's sake because I grew up in the country, but it's hard listening to all of the gynocentric crap in it. Any Man of Mine by Shania Twain is particularly annoying. "I can be late for a date, that's fine, but he better be on time." People like to believe these are some of the last bastions of traditional values and respecting men, but they've been influenced by feminism just as long. | /r/MensRights | 15/07/22 11:28 PM |
| 1 | People defending the “small d*ck energy” insult, what do you guys think?"There are also like endless stories of women falling for imperfect men. Funny how most of the women's fantasy seems to focus on who the guy is as a person, how he acts and how he treats others, how he makes a woman feel, and men's materials are focused on body types. Christ, you put it right there, the "variety" has only to do with body type. Like, I personally like to give men more credit than you're giving them right now because I feel like a good number of them deserve it... It's almost like… | /r/MensRights | 14/07/22 01:22 AM |
| 1 | People defending the “small d*ck energy” insult, what do you guys think?I'm a woman, thought it would be clear from my avatar. How many women consider it a gift to men to allow them to have sex with them? Sex is way better when both people care about the other's pleasure, but you aren't always going to find that in casual sex partners. You may want to, but that doesn't mean you will. It's like expecting that every stranger you talk to will be as interested in asking questions about you as they are about talking about themselves. The more people you try this with, th… | /r/MensRights | 13/07/22 03:40 PM |
| 3 | People defending the “small d*ck energy” insult, what do you guys think?There's a romance genre for women now called Big Beautiful Women, which involves a heavier female protagonist. Interestingly enough, she always gets involved with physically perfect men, and there are no categories for Big Beautiful Men because I guess women don't want to fantasize about that (also no categories for short men, medium sized men, thin men, bald men, etc.). Popular categories are things like: billionaire, criminals, doctor, fire fighter, vampires, and otherworldly creatures. In com… | /r/MensRights | 13/07/22 03:15 PM |
| 2 | People defending the “small d*ck energy” insult, what do you guys think?They're getting what they want out of the transaction. It's not their obligation to make sure that every sexual encounter is fulfilling everything that the other partner wants, especially when their partner is a stranger they met in the club or merely an ongoing no-strings attached situation. Just like you as a woman probably don't think to yourself "gee, I hope I made that as pleasurable as possible for him"; you're mostly concerned with your own pleasure and how satisfied you were. Turns out h… | /r/MensRights | 13/07/22 02:47 PM |
| 10 | People defending the “small d*ck energy” insult, what do you guys think?Ah yes, it's only recently that women have preferred and made known their preference for tall, rich, muscled, powerful men with wide shoulders and slim hips. For some reason, men can be either "breast, butt, or legs" men yet you don't find women grouping themselves by "chest, hips, or biceps" women. Not because they don't care about it, judging by the covers and pages of every romance novel ever written, but because women all tend to agree the ideal guy should have it all: perfectly muscled tall… | /r/MensRights | 13/07/22 02:51 AM |

| 1 | Why feminists consider that if a man is bigger than a woman its wrong to hit her BACK, but if its about a job its sexist to say its a 'mans job" because they are stronger?You know what hypocrisy I hate the most? If a man says or does something a woman doesn't like, she has the social right to hit, slap, kick him, whatever she wants. The idea behind this is that she needs to scare him, show him that she's strong enough to hurt him so that he knows to back off. Yet we also believe that men are not allowed to hurt women in any way, not even to retaliate violence done to them, because women are so much weaker than men so men cannot risk hurting them without the possi… | /r/MensRights | 12/07/22 08:22 PM |
| 1 | Ohio bill would allow pregnant people to sue men for unintended pregnanciesA pregnancy is not comparable to one person causing a car accident, it is comparable to two persons causing an accident. Their insurance companies will most definitely investigate if one person is more at fault than the other, particularly if one person received physical damage to their person. If the physically damaged person was more at fault for the accident, they will have to pay for the damage to themselves, their car, and the other person's car. If a person sets things up to have someone c… | /r/MensRights | 09/07/22 02:57 PM |
| 2 | Ohio bill would allow pregnant people to sue men for unintended pregnanciesMen also are unlikely to have consented to a woman becoming pregnant. Both parties engage in the sexual act knowing that pregnancy is a possible outcome. There is no logical reasoning that suggests a man having sex with a woman makes him responsible for the outcome of pregnancy and that she bears no responsibility. You said sperm causes pregnancy, but sperm alone does not cause pregnancy, it can only happen when sperm meets egg. So therefore the woman shares half responsibility for making her eg… | /r/MensRights | 09/07/22 03:10 AM |
| 11 | Male Rape Victims - Can anyone else relate?With women, it is also about who it's coming from. If the man is considered attractive by the woman, she will not only accept behavior that would otherwise be considered harassment/assault, she will like it. She will like that the guy was confident enough to do it, that this places him in the light of a bad boy for crossing societal platitudes, and that she'd like to think he would do it because he wants her that badly. Meanwhile, a guy she doesn't find attractive merely staring at her for too l… | /r/MensRights | 08/07/22 03:00 AM |

(the support of equality can only be of equality for all, and support of equality for all is called humanism, not group-ism, such as femin-ism, group-ism being the road to chauvinism: if rights of only one group are supported they are called privileges)Don't forget that women's suffrage in America began in the territories in 1869 and by the time 1920 rolled around, the only states that didn't allow female suffrage were in the south and east coast. | /r/MensRights | 07/07/22 05:05 PM |
| 3 | A big reason as to why some men are misogynists is because how men are often treated worseWomen were treated as weak childlike, and less than men. The idea of being seen as weak and dependent is treated as an oppressive concept. But being seen as needing help, as being incapable of doing things all on your own is what often gets you sympathy and protection. They were also particularly seen as holy, angelic, morally superior to men (which certainly is still egged on by feminism today despite a complete lack of classy behavior from women).

| 2 | A big reason as to why some men are misogynists is because how men are often treated worseI'll be perfectly candid and say that I've generally seen a lot more appreciation from men directed towards women than from women directed towards men This is just another anecdote, but on every Facebook group that I am a part of, whether it's about hair care or homeschooling, every time a woman mentions her male partner disagreeing in the slightest a choice she made or an opinion she has, everyone chimes in to tell her that he is abusive and she needs to divorce him immediately.

| 2 | A big reason as to why some men are misogynists is because how men are often treated worseI lived during a time when men were NOT called out for sexual harassment (mild) to any meaningful degree. the modern feminists movement is going WAY overboard with the "all men" agenda. I'm just guessing this was during the sexual revolution or slightly afterward. Before then, men certainly had extremely strict rules about how they conducted themselves around women. Seriously, there was an expectation that you would get punched by another man just for swearing in front of a woman. But the sexual… | /r/MensRights | 01/10/21 01:34 AM |
| 2 | Examples of Cultural Attitudes from A 1912 Play About Suffragettes"Women are expected to give up their hard-earned money to these lazy men It's funny because this is another point that illustrates the aforementioned attitude most women have about men- that if a man isn't living up to a woman's expectations it's because he's lazy. When women are behind, that can only mean oppression (so society must help them!) and when men are behind it can only be because men are selfish and lazy (so they need to help themselves). That's really expecting men to be superheroes… | /r/MensRights | 25/09/21 09:39 PM |
| 2 | Examples of Cultural Attitudes from A 1912 Play About SuffragettesIt's honestly sad how much women can control the narrative about themselves in different scenarios. We constantly see depictions in movies of female fighters, usually a mere 100 pounds, beating up truckloads of men with a single kick of their leg, and in that moment we're wholly on board with the idea that women are oh so strong and powerful. And this then informs our belief about women in the army or as firefighters- of course she can be just as strong as any man. But then the second a woman sa… | /r/MensRights | 22/09/21 01:32 AM |

| 1 | Covert Ovulation and Female Capitalization of Sexual AttractivenessMultiple paternity has a lot less benefits than assumed monogamy. Maybe Fred is willing to give Suzy some extra berries because he thinks some of her kids might be his, but he's not going to do as much as he would if he felt quite certain that her kids are his. If we consider how covert ovulation originally would have occurred, I think it's easy to see it as the basis for monogamous pair bonding. Long ago a female happens to be born with covert ovulation instead of overt. This makes her complete… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/07/21 11:06 PM |
| 1 | Covert Ovulation and Female Capitalization of Sexual AttractivenessI certainly agree, it's easy to see in modern culture, particularly in the way that it is steadily increasing. When I was growing up, no girl ever wore fake eyelashes during the day, maybe a few would wear it to a night club. Now it's something that most girls/women wear everyday. Many would like to claim that it comes solely from pressure from men, that if men didn't like that kind of thing, women wouldn't do it.

| 5 | Loving and leaving: Sex differences in romantic attachmentsSomething interesting I've noticed about the differences between men and women and their views of romance is that men are able to separate sexuality from romance and women are not, and also that men have realistic, equality-minded expectations for their relationships and women do not. My reason for thinking this is that men's preferred porn solely focuses on sex and contains no romantic elements. Men do enjoy portrayals of romantic relationships in their own books and movies, and certainly they … | /r/MalePsychology | 22/06/21 09:18 PM |

What would they do? Cheer and clap me on the back and say, "That's all it's about!" But if I go on to say, "And I believe that equality has been achieved and women are equal to men."

Feminists love to oscillate between the two depending on which perception of women is most convenient.

| 2 | How to argue against "we live in a patriarchy": It's not wrong; it's misleading and distracting.Feminism's cling to patriarchy theory is in itself an exertion of power which is why they will never abandon it no matter how much evidence you provide against it. Being able to cast yourself as a victim in any situation and someone else as solely responsible for his actions, your actions, and the things you did together, and to have everyone agree with you, is an immense power to wield especially when applied to an entire society.

This is not true as men on the whole receive far more violence. Anyone who has been through school knows that lower-rung males are the ones to receive the most violence as well as social ostracism.

| 4 | A Relevant Quote from Orwell's 1984Women also have a strong ability to create or endorse accepted norms because of our greater sensitivity to female safety and our bioligical disgust for lower-status males. Women have a very large influence over what's the socially aceptable way to "treat a lady", how to "treat a woman with respect", be sensitive to "women's issues", etc. Basically, society conforms a lot to what women want, not the other way around.

There's an interesting trend I notice with neotenous males in that in a non-sexual context, they are able to tap into the power of their neoteny like women are.

| 5 | "Public and Private Politics: Women in the Middle Eastern World"I grew up in the LDS church (Mormon) which is seen by outsiders as inherently misogynistic. Women in the church cannot hold the priesthood which prevents them from inhabiting roles of authority such as prophet, apostle, patriarch, or bishop. The church also promotes the idea that men should be the head of the household and women should stay at home and take care of the children.

She is, however, still too much of a believer in the idea that men and women act differently solely because of social constructs placed on them.

But feminism is focused on the idea that men and women must be exactly the same.

And I mean in general, not just a specific society.Our ideas of what oppression is, especially in reference to women, concerns things like being seen as weak and dependent, not owning land, not having access to education, not having the ability to work outside the home, etc. It is also based on the idea that when restrictions are placed on women, they could only come about from oppressive, misogynistic men and do not represent what women want.

Given the choice between two men who both look like male models, are rich, same high social status, and have a charismatic personality, but one is a good noble guy who always does the right thing and the other a bad boy with a devious past- women prefer the bad one.

Men typically write male characters who are far more emotional, vulnerable, and less sexual than women who write male characters. Women write male characters, especially in romance novels which represent their ideal males, as constantly on the verge of punching some guy, wanting to crack his skull, if he thinks the guy is a rival for the woman's affection. If some guy hurts her or tries to hurt her, his response should always be lethal violence. M… | /r/MensRights | 06/12/19 09:01 PM |

If you look up social ettiquette books for men written in the 1800s, they state specifically that even if you see a woman who needs assistance on the stree… | /r/MensRights | 22/08/19 04:13 PM |

This is the typical image of males on female romance novel covers and in celebrity sexy photos, the guys don't typically go beyond a shirtless photo or a strategically placed object in front of their package.

By allowing total freedom for female sexuality, women focus on it and solely it far too much, walking around in as much revealing clothing as they can get away with, insisting they be able to wear such clothing at any place.

| 5 | Why do women like shaming men just for wanting sex from them?Because the human female mating strategy isn't just about getting the best genes to get pregnant with, it's about getting further resources, attention, and protection from a male. In most other species, females don't have to rely on the male as much because their offspring isn't as dependent and weak as ours are initially. They don't look for qualities in males beyond having the best genes. Human females look for that too, but also have instincts to want males who will invest in them beyond just… | /r/MensRights | 21/08/19 01:57 AM |

If you were a king, no one touched, spoke, or even looked at you without your permission.

| 4 | We sometimes hear a woman is out of a man's league but rarely if ever it seems a man is out of a woman's league. It's like there's an unofficial caste system where woman are told they can select whoever they want but men shouldn't think too much of themselves. This might affect men's self-esteemYeah it occurs to me a lot when watching t.v. For example, on the Big Bang Theory, most would agree that Penny and Bernadette are way too attractive for their husbands, but you probably won't hear that about Sheldon for Amy (even though she is significantly less attractive than he is). And you can see how Penny and Bernadette use it in their marriages to have their husbands at their beck and call, "you don't want to lose me because I'm so attractive and I put up with all of your nerdy shit". | /r/MensRights | 14/11/17 07:48 PM |

Telling a man he is too poor is obviously fine.) Not really, when people say a woman is out of a man's league, they usually mean according to his looks. Think of that movie, literally titled 'She's Out of My League', and the guy says "you're a 10 and I'm a 5." He mainly meant that about the difference in their looks.

Also, how could it be considered "equality" after the 1882 married women's property laws came about if they allowed only wives to hold property that their husbands could not access (but still had to pay the taxes for) if men could not hold property that their wives could not access? | /r/MensRights | 22/10/17 02:46 AM |
