1	It seems as though this subreddit is very anti-feminist. I am wondering why. I think his point was not to discuss the merits of equal custody, but rather to explain that everyone sometimes needs to rant about their problems, even illogically and in an offensive way, because it takes the pressure off your chest and makes you feel better. This is one of the few places where men can rant about their problems, so obviously there will be such ranting here. You need to tell the angry ranting apart from the legit discussions if you want to understand the MRM (and I agree it's n…	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 05:15 PM
2	x-post from r/motorcycles: Drunk woman kills motorcyclist, gets ond day in jail. Judge seemed more concerned about the defendant than the male victim The government could start by assessing people's mental health before giving them a license. Have everyone see a psychologist and get a medical document that states they don't have any disability that could make them dangerous drivers. That's what I think the government should have done, I thought I was clear on that. We have tougher requirements for owning firearms in Canada and yet guns kill less people than cars, so maybe it's time to take the privilege of driving a little more seriously. And…	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 04:50 PM
16	Woman stabs university student in the back during consensual sexual encounter, but he's arrested after she falsely accuses him of rape I agree the police pretty much had to arrest him, but that's exactly why they should have charged her for making up fake accusations. Her lies resulted in this man being arrested, harm was done and the justice system shouldn't ignore it.	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 04:34 PM
2	x-post from r/motorcycles: Drunk woman kills motorcyclist, gets ond day in jail. Judge seemed more concerned about the defendant than the male victim Alcoholism is a disability that takes over people's willpower. As far as I'm concerned, yes it does take away responsibility from people. I should probably mention that I have a degree in psychology, so I'm probably a bit more sympathetic to people with mental disorders than the average person - call me biased if you want. But I don't see how we can reasonably expect an alcoholic to be responsible and always make the right decisions. And again, this woman was an alcoholic before she received her…	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 04:00 PM
3	"Men can't have gender inequality. That's like saying we need a white rights day." "A discourse on 'equality' for men can happen once there is an equal playing field." The fallacy here is thinking that the group with the most problems is the only one deserving of help. The correct reasoning is that every person in need deserves help, regardless of which group they belong to. You could ask them if we should talk about the equality of black men before the equality of white women, since blacks are alleged to face more discrimination than women. Alternatively replace 'black men' by '8 year-old Chinese sweat-shop workers', 'starving HIV-positive Somali children', '…	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 03:38 PM
2	"Men can't have gender inequality. That's like saying we need a white rights day." "A discourse on 'equality' for men can happen once there is an equal playing field." To people like you and me, equality is bringing people together and making sure they're all treated the same. To people like them, equality is making sure everyone is equally separated and discriminated against.	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 03:32 PM
0	Someone please tell me this quote is a fake... And here I thought the 100,000+ dead Iraqi civilians were the primary victims of war. Oops, silly me. What a soulless bitch.	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 03:29 PM
3	Guys, how do we answer the Porn question? To be fair women are often portrayed in porn as submissive and as objects used for the pleasure of the men. Of course it depends which film you're watching, but most do reduce women to sex toys. This is why some people find it degrading to women.	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 03:14 PM
2	Guys, how do we answer the Porn question? I understand your point about exposing ourselves to these images. What I'd like to say is that I think it's much more important to look at the reasons why we expose ourselves to these images. I personally don't watch porn because I like to see women degraded nor because I hate them. Hell I want a female life-partner who will be my equal, whom I'll share my life and interests with... But I watch porn because it's pretty much my only access to sex. I need sex, I'm often horny, and I'm really open-…	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 03:08 PM
3	Guys, how do we answer the Porn question? I agree with this. Most porn actresses make carefully-considered decisions when they choose to do porn. Claiming they can't think properly on their own and that we should think for them does two things: 1) It implies they can't think for themselves, that they are not responsible adults. 2) It denigrates female sexuality - women can enjoy sex (most do) and some women happen to enjoy sex lives where they do porn. Should we tell them that they're not allowed to enjoy the sex life they want? Saudi A…	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 02:54 PM
2	So who here thinks that an MR advocate can't have a feminist girlfriend? I think feminism overall is sexist towards men and is a movement for female supremacy. I think some people are not aware of this and call themselves 'feminists' because they think feminism supports gender equality, however these people are mistaken and would not call themselves that if they knew what most of feminism really is like. And yes, I heard about third-wave feminism, but I call bullshit. Third-wave is too young and too small to be considered a real thing. Third-wave is a convenient excu…	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 02:43 PM
4	Outrage as Fox News host Dana Perino says female victims of domestic violence 'should make better decisions' This ignores that victims of abuse can in fact enter a psychological state where they do not realize they are being abused. They actually excuse the abuser, justify his actions and blame themselves as deserving it. Nothing to do with taking responsibility - this is human psychology and it's easy and unfair to blame victims for it.	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 02:31 PM
12	Woman stabs university student in the back during consensual sexual encounter, but he's arrested after she falsely accuses him of rape I have to agree with you. The guy was stupid. It doesn't mean he deserved to be stabbed and it doesn't excuse her actions, but he was stupid and it needs to be said so other people learn that they need to act smart and that they're responsible for staying safe.	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 02:25 PM
5	x-post from r/motorcycles: Drunk woman kills motorcyclist, gets ond day in jail. Judge seemed more concerned about the defendant than the male victim Well this is Canada, the justice system here cares much more about rehabilitation than punishment/revenge. Don't approach this case with US standards of justice if you want to understand what's going on. The woman did have a very tough upbringing, which apparently caused her to have serious issues, including drug addiction (she was intoxicated when the crash happened). On top of that she has children who may not benefit from their mother going to jail for several years (I could not find how old …	/r/MensRights	07/12/12 02:18 PM
3	"Rape: A Men's Issue" Shown in my sexuality class As others said, it still mainly blames men. "80% know the man who raped them". Not the person - the man. Women don't rape apparently. There are a lot of other problems though... About knowing victims: "Men must be prepared" - as if we owe it to victims to be prepared. Look, I'm sorry for people who are raped, but that doesn't mean I have an obligation to go out of my way and learn to help them. I'll gladly support victims and learn how to do it, that's not the issue, but nobody can force me to. …	/r/MensRights	06/12/12 09:33 AM
3	This is a very informal thread, but I really want to know how bad everyone considers rape to be. There is an emotional aspect to rape to me (I'm a guy). I'd be really, really grossed out to have sexual contact with someone I'm not attracted to, and I think this is what could leave me traumatized. But as you say OP, to some people only the physical sensations count. The violation of the victim's intimacy is also a big deal. Intimacy in general is a big deal for a lot of people, so having your intimate body parts violated is a huge issue to many people. Having physical force exercised on you,…	/r/MensRights	05/12/12 11:52 AM
2	Interesting episode of CSI demonizes men for not wanting to date American women. CSI is a franchise that supports all kinds of awful messages, no surprise there. CSI Miami glorified police abuse in several episodes for instance (and in times when several serious cases of police abuse have stirred public outcry, no less!). But it's always good to know when they do stuff like this.	/r/MensRights	05/12/12 11:41 AM
1	Convicted child molesters having children I feel the same about it... On one hand he paid his debt and the government doesn't get to decide who gets to have children or not. On the other hand, it would be better for the kids to be taken away from the risk he poses. One thing I do know is that his new wife is a bad mother for letting her children near this man. Why is there no discussion about her?	/r/MensRights	04/12/12 10:42 PM
