As I said, any serious competition is getting shut down and the big ones all act in unison pretty much. I‘d love it if what you say was true, because that‘d really be enough for me. But it genuinely isn‘t - people are trying and getting shut down. Gab was targetted and even sites that didn‘t want to comply had to because paypal and hosting sites threatened to pull services if they don‘t ban certain speech or people.

| 1 | PSA: The Red Pill has been quarantined and users are given links to the website of the academic who popularized the term "toxic masculinity"The argument is more that the internet is becoming more and more a utility. I know it is privately owned, but so is a park or a street (in some countries, not all). The problem really ovcurs because not only do individual websites police what you can say or not, but so do servers, payment processors, etc. Gab, an alternative to twitter, was being refused by hosts and payment processors for reasons beyond their control.

Your phone contract won‘t be terminated simply because you say something controversial. However, the phone company will work with the police should a phone call incriminate you. Now if it was a publisher... it would also mean that the company is responsible for any and all libel/slander on its site, as well as anything else published, which it clearly isn‘t (or doesn‘t want to be).

| -10 | Transgender post op rapes man by deception, admits it and says “Nothing will happen to me” upon admitting guilt.... okay, that‘s too far. It really isn‘t. A man chose to have sex with that person, and there was nothing wrong with it. They had sex with exactly the person they saw. I respect the right of a man to break up with this person for that reason, or to be angry, but claiming it was sexual assault is just as bad as when women claim they were raped because they regretted it afterwards. | /r/MensRights | 12/10/18 12:45 AM |

I mean, maybe I‘ve lived a sheltered life but I don‘t know a single person who‘s experienced severe violence from a partner (but multiple who have from parents or siblings.) I also seem to recall statistics saying 1 in 4 women experience domestic violence, not severe domestic violence.

| 2 | "But my fellow Republican senators and I agree that any allegation of this nature must be looked into as thoroughly as possible, no matter who is involved and *no matter how many years have passed*"Jesus. The fist thing I learned reading crime manga was that after a certain time has passed, a murderer cannot be held accountable, even if it is proven that he was the murderer. I think in that specific case (based in japan probably) it was something like 20 years? Now we can just accuse someone of a crime 36 years ago and think that that‘s a perfectly reasonable thing to do?! | /r/MensRights | 29/09/18 02:06 PM |
| 3 | PSA: The Red Pill has been quarantined and users are given links to the website of the academic who popularized the term "toxic masculinity"I‘m afraid there‘s not much besides a common uprising that will immediately change it. Likely it‘ll get worse before it gets better, and worst case scenario it‘ll be 1984 before change happens. I guess making people aware is the first step, but „first they came for...“ is pretty accurate, so I‘m not sure if there will be anything done.

This is the kind of thing where people go: Fuck it. Assume that you have a teacher. You're pretty bad at the subject, so you constantly get something like 40% in tests.

I‘m sure that a larger percentage of women would also be mostly fine with attractive men (especially rich attractive men), but it‘s harder to qualify as attractive as a man.

I don‘t think trans people should get special treatment, and I demand none. Many trans people are deluded in thinking that the world needs to cater to them. (eg. people shouldn‘t reject them romantically, which is nonsense. If someone doesn‘t want to date a trans person, they don‘t and that‘s entirely up to them.) People who mock the idea that some people have a genuine psychological issue that impacts their life do exist, though, and that annoys me. | /r/MensRights | 19/04/18 05:14 PM |

| 1 | Transgenderism and the Social Construction of Diagnosis - Quillette: "findings of the research support the plausibility of social influences contributing to the development of gender dysphoria"No, but we have good evidence that it is influenced by genetics (twins are significantly more likely to have the same sexuality), and evidence that it is biological in some sense (the more older brothers a boy has, the more likely he is to be gay).

My first concern, for example, would be whether they are okay with living in a meat-free household or not. I don‘t want to convert anyone, but as a life partner, we‘d have to be compatible.

Then you have cases of men being tricked into parenthood, mothers demanding full custody and full payment for no good reason (man isn't abusive or anything, but her claiming that shouldn't be an auto-win, she would need hard proof)... and cases where you clearly aren't the father.

Hair, clothes, make-up etc can do a hell of a lot. Changing names, etc is all not a problem at all. I'm just not sure if we should be encouraging very young physical transition.

Once you're transitioned, there's no easy way back. It's risky, the effects on the psyche that the hormone blockers can cause aren't fully studied yet, and while I agree that on terms of passing, MtFs have the worse deal, that's hardly reason to disregard the massive amount of children that change their mind. Being trans isn't a choice, but children are often not completely capable of telling if they are trans. And even if they know and don't change… | /r/MensRights | 08/09/17 08:39 AM |

| 2 | Rich model: "‘You can be homeless and still have white privilege"You know, I've seen a lot of trans women... and I think some genuinely think that all the bad things they experienced as a man was due to transphobia, when in reality it was them being men. That, I think, is the only reason why some trans women can be so into the feminist rhetoric. They are just too self-absorbed to realize that all men face problems, not just them. Just a small observation. I think some people seek out victimhood. | /r/MensRights | 07/09/17 11:41 PM |

They tend to often think that surgery will change everything, and they tend to project every problem they have onto the fact that they're trans. So, when they realize that surgery doesn't change their lives, they fall into depression.

The right to be male is a human right denied to these kids.As a trans guy, I disagree with transitioning early. Even if it meant getting better results.

Is it really a feminist thing? 'He or she' is just such a mouthful, and sometimes I don't want to disclose gender. Are there any alternatives? | /r/MensRights | 07/02/17 10:10 AM |
| 2 | Can men's rights and feminism coexist?I'm sure it's been pointed put before, but never has a society been only bad for women. If women have it terribly, you can almost always bet that men have it equally bad, just in a different way. Karen straughan brought up an example where a bunch of girls were kidnapped and forced into marriage because they wanted a western education in, I'm not sure where, but it was an islamic country. Media was outraged ofc, but it completely ignored the fact that most of the time, the group targeted young b… | /r/MensRights | 06/02/17 01:23 PM |
| 1 | I saw the post on reddit about the Utah Teacher who had sex with 3 students and I wondered the difference between using Sex vs Rape in these situationsSorry to barge into this conversation, but perhaps there is nuance to be found in between both of your arguments. So, before puberty I think we can all agree that someone is very unlikely to knowingly consent to sex. Between that age and, say, about 17, there should be circumstancial reviews of individual cases, where there can be situations where people were clearly abused, but there are possibly other reasons to assume it's completely fine behaviour. Is that, perhaps, an approach that seems re… | /r/MensRights | 06/02/17 12:37 PM |
| 2 | Digital downloads just came outI agree with your edit. As a guy, I also thought it lacked some more facts and evidence, but then a couple of women said that they could really identify with the journey and that this would draw in women more, so I think it's just a thing that bridges the gap to the more emotional people, especially women, but ofc not exclusively. | /r/MensRights | 26/01/17 09:17 AM |
| 1 | Thanks to Donations from MensRights, Austin, a teen boy prosecuted for child porn after received pictures from his girlfriend, won't go to prison or register as a sex offender, but his mistreatment by the state still isn't over yetHm, interesting. I sort of agree with you, actually, but there is something that's still unclear to me. If there's two minors engaged in sexual activity, and there is no evidence that one took advantage of the other, which one is committing a crime? The older one? The boy? Both of them? It's... a greyish area imho. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/17 05:25 PM |
| 1 | Thanks to Donations from MensRights, Austin, a teen boy prosecuted for child porn after received pictures from his girlfriend, won't go to prison or register as a sex offender, but his mistreatment by the state still isn't over yetI'm now unsure whether you're advocating this or not. It seems you're quite sceptical, so I'll take it that you disagree with the approach. Is that correct? In that case, I have little to argue. There should always be room for circumstances to influence the result of court cases, but overall I don't want the default to be for the male party involved to be criminalized while the woman is considered pure. I agree with gender neutral laws. I think criminalizing sexual acts of people who are under a… | /r/MensRights | 21/01/17 09:49 AM |

Just that even if someone was always wrong, it would be difficult to determine who, and "it's always the guy" is faulty logic. | /r/MensRights | 20/01/17 09:16 PM |
| 2 | Thanks to Donations from MensRights, Austin, a teen boy prosecuted for child porn after received pictures from his girlfriend, won't go to prison or register as a sex offender, but his mistreatment by the state still isn't over yetI can't help but think you're not thinking things through. I mean, how do you even determine who was the one "abusing" the other? Do both get the punishment? Because otherwise I see a huge problem. I know someone, male, who was 15 when their girlfriend at the time came onto them hardcore when he wasn't really into it. Pressured, he gave in to having sex. It wasn't really rape, we would say later, but it was a bad sexual experience. Does the guy get punished for the sexual act simply because he's… | /r/MensRights | 20/01/17 07:55 PM |
| 1 | Why are MRA's labeled as misogynists?I think one needs to write or at least think a "tendencially" there. There are some exceptions to every tendency, and, for example, hiring a man over a woman without looking at their qualifications and actual merits is just as bad as hiring women cause vagina. Obviously, in fields such as maths, it's often going to be the men who come out on top, but we won't get anywhere if we let tendencies override specific situations.

My mum was terribly abusive and is mentally ill to the point where she doesn't recognize at all what she's doing. How can people not even recognize the possibility that maybe not all women are angels? :/ I don't get it. | /r/MensRights | 16/01/17 05:09 PM |
| 1 | “Is ADHD Different for Women and Girls?”My gf has adhd and is an adult. (23) She was always a very extreme case. Caffeine doesn't impact her (she has tea and coffee at night). Her medication (restricted ofc) contains speed (yes, tje drug) and it makes her act normal as opposed to hyper distracted. I can't see that and not be convinced that adhd is real. It simply changes your physiology. | /r/MensRights | 10/01/17 12:50 PM |
| 3 | Getting sex by saying ‘If you don’t have sex with me I will find someone who will’ = rape or sexual assault?Well, if you're honestly communicating, you don't demand an answer NOW. As in, you'd discuss the matter and perhaps make a few conclusions, not "sex now or I leave". Can be a fine difference though, I agree, and not everyone's good at communication. | /r/MensRights | 05/12/16 03:21 PM |

She then says - No, I didn't mean it, continue! Be more assertive! It's really weird cause according to feminists this never happens. And yes, she's pretty much the one who introduced me to the MRM, and I believe she won't pull a "he raped me". She had sympathy as well when I tell her she confuses me at times.

Just like white gay men are now priviledged. Heck, I don't think trans people should have any significant say in those matters and I think the notion that gender neutral language should be used just for minority genders (??? there's only male and female) is laughable, even as a trans guy myself. | /r/MensRights | 02/12/16 09:58 AM |

My gf is trans and as a female born myself, I can easily beat her now in playfights, and she's even heavier than me, when she was actually an athlete before and could easily hold me down etc. with just half her strength.

Though I have to admit you have a good point. I guess we could do without the word, but at times it can make discourse easier. Kind of like we could use normal instead of mentally stable, but mentally stable describes in which way they are normal. I understand where you're coming from, but it's not always used as propaganda. As I said, though, it often is... And that's very unfortunate. Not being trans IS normal, but people like to pretend when it suits their agenda… | /r/MensRights | 24/10/16 10:55 PM |
| 1 | Australian newspaper story on the new feminist indoctrination program in schools: "Masculinity is not to blame for domestic violence"Well, the Cisgender at least is just a way to describe non-trans people in a shorter way or if you want to differentiate between them clearly (cis, trans is much more efficient than people-who-are-normal or people-who-were-born-without-brain-defects-that-make-them-believe-they're-the opposite-sex).
