1	The Truth About Male Privilege (I'm on your side, please upvote this, throw away account) Not to mention, very many men explicitly pay into SS and Medicare with the expectation that it provides coverage for their non-working spouses. Being upset about survivor benefits received by women is insane. As a married man with a stay-at-home mother wife who will not qualify for livable SS payouts based on her own work history, survivor benefits are the most significant benefit to ME as a man. The same goes for Medicare benefits paid to the non-working spouse of a man who qualifies for Medica…	/r/MensRights	28/05/15 09:04 PM
1	Joss Whedon quits after backlash that Black Widow was damseled. This what happens when align with Feminist Mr. Whedon. Dude. He said he couldn't have children. The definition of infertile is "unable to reproduce." What more do you want? I thought you were looking for more detail as to why, which the comics could provide hints to. Apparently you just wanted to argue. And BTW, given your other responses here (e.g. Black Widow was kidnapped in the first movie and other nonsense), I don't think you actually know the mythos or even have the ability to comprehend the basic plot of movies you just watched. Forget about…	/r/MensRights	06/05/15 05:29 PM
1	Joss Whedon quits after backlash that Black Widow was damseled. This what happens when align with Feminist Mr. Whedon. There are many Hulk mythologies as it is an old character. Feel free to Google for them. The upshot is that any Hulk pregnancy with a human woman would not be viable due to miscarriage or death of the mother, unless not-yet-invented technology were used to sustain the pregancy. As he hasn't yet met any titans to impregnate - nor does he even know they exist yet - he believes himself to be infertile ("unable to reproduce"). And if we're going that far off the deep-end, we could use magic (e.g. an…	/r/MensRights	06/05/15 04:50 PM
1	Joss Whedon quits after backlash that Black Widow was damseled. This what happens when align with Feminist Mr. Whedon. ...After capturing Vision's body, without which the Avengers would have failed and the world would have been destroyed. She was literally the linchpin to the Avengers' success.	/r/MensRights	06/05/15 12:26 AM
1	Joss Whedon quits after backlash that Black Widow was damseled. This what happens when align with Feminist Mr. Whedon. She and Bruce Banner are in the same boat. In fact, he's the one who brought up the subject of infertility. He said that his infertility was a reason why he was unsuitable for and unworthy of Natasha. He couldn't give her what Hawkeye had. So look at that! You've already seen it explored in a male superhero movie - to the same degree that it was explored for Black Widow. You just didn't notice, because you were too busy looking for something to be offended by.	/r/MensRights	06/05/15 12:22 AM
2	Joss Whedon quits after backlash that Black Widow was damseled. This what happens when align with Feminist Mr. Whedon. She was kidnapped in two movies When was she kidnapped in the first movie? Are you referring to the scene near the beginning of the film where she ALLOWED herself to be captured so that she could interrogate the mobster guy while he was feeling in control? She was a bad ass in that scene. As soon as she didn't want to be restrained any longer, she instantly broke free and beat up 5 goons. Please stop grasping for straws.	/r/MensRights	06/05/15 12:16 AM
2	I read about feminist students crusading to shame guys, but I never thought it'd happen to me. This happened a while ago, but I'm still not over it. It still keeps me up at night. I don't trust the law or media regulations to protect me anymore. Anyone else had a similar experience? (x-post /r/tifu) Depending on your state, it is possible that your lawyer is wrong about this being legal. The magazine, the author, and the buddy (if different from the author) are all potentially liable for damages. Here is a summary article for you. https://www.rcfp.org/browse-media-law-resources/digital-journalists-legal-guide/publishing-highly-personal-and-embarrassi If you share which state you are in, I can tell you if there is a relevant statute and offer advice on next steps. You can PM me if you don't …	/r/MensRights	25/04/15 12:06 AM
2	A jury has found former state lawmaker Henry Rayhons not guilty of sexual abuse. Prosecutors claimed 78-year-old Rayhons had sex with his wife at a nursing home May 23 after being told she was no longer mentally capable of consenting. It doesn't matter what I'd rather have. This is a feature of the legal system we currently have in America and most of Europe. So when you make claims like "It's not up to 12 jurors to decide if a law is constitutional or not" and then deride the "basic knowledge" of others on the sub who have already told you about jury nullification. Well, that just makes you look a bit silly. As for my personal opinion on jury nullification, it is a power for good and evil. For example, it was used in the sou…	/r/MensRights	23/04/15 04:44 PM

1	Pressure grows on marines to consider lowering combat standards for women. You are assuming that she was at or near the limits of her strength. She failed that obstacle for being too small - not too weak. There's no way she's getting up the wall now. If you're referring to the warped wall, then there are other examples of larger women making it up. Michelle Warnky (5' 4.5"), Meagan Martin (5' 4"), Melanie Hunt (5'5"), and Courtney Venuti (height unknown but taller than Catanzaro) have made it up the warped wall in competition. 5'4" to 5'5" is average height for a white…	/r/MensRights	21/04/15 08:52 PM
1	Pressure grows on marines to consider lowering combat standards for women. That's right. She was only 5 feet tall. If she were of average height and the same fitness level, she likely would have gone further in the finals.	/r/MensRights	21/04/15 08:23 PM
4	Pressure grows on marines to consider lowering combat standards for women. It's sad that a reality TV show - American Ninja Warrior - is dealing with this more intelligently than the Joint Chiefs. American Ninja Warrior was also getting pressure to make an easier women's course, or to make the regular course easier so women could complete it (and open the floodgates for weaker men). They held off the criticism by giving some women automatic placement into the finals while they waited for the right thing to happen. The show spawned a community of local trainers around t…	/r/MensRights	21/04/15 04:17 PM

16	An Open Letter to the White Fathers of Black Daughters: In which our hero bashes her dad for the sin of being white, picking her up too early from a hair appointment, and obnoxiously supporting her sexuality Her gripe didn't seem to be with the fact that he was White but that they never talked about race Really? "White" (and variants like "whiteness") was her third most used word. The first two were "you" and "I." The fourth was "me." Those 4 words ("you," "I," "white," and "me") comprise 22% of all words in the piece. Use http://textalyser.net/ if you don't believe me. Furthermore, the usages are disturbing. His whiteness is a handicap. Her blackness is a handicap and a mark on his whiteness. It's …	/r/MensRights	29/03/15 02:33 AM
2	Sexual harassment at my work place = Okay if the victim is a man. Apologies for assuming. If anything can be said for the litigious nature of Americans - at least it puts a damper on nonsense like what your employer is doing.	/r/MensRights	16/03/15 05:04 PM
2	Sexual harassment at my work place = Okay if the victim is a man. Are they looking over the stalls on patrons or just employees? Not that either is OK, but I'm surprised a patron hasn't called the police. While it might be appealing to go with the "sexual harassment" angle due to the gender reversal irony, it's probably not the strongest legal argument. The privacy violation angle is much more clear cut and there is even a decent chance that this qualifies as assault in your jurisdiction. While I'm unaware of any US federal privacy laws this would violate, it …	/r/MensRights	16/03/15 04:27 PM
2	Recruiting reddit feminists and MRAs for a social psychology study! (updated) That has the possibly unintended side effect of creating selection bias. In this case, the survey selects for people who are so radical and/or have so much free time that they are willing to spend an hour on a survey that was anonymously posted on the internet for a chance at an amazon gift card. I got as far as entering demographic info. I thought the survey was a long and poorly constructed, but tolerable. Then I clicked next and was informed I was only half done. I care a lot about these topi…	/r/MensRights	16/03/15 04:07 PM

Now we get some word mincing and more uninformed blanket statements by someone who apparently knows just enough about US federal taxation to sound credible without actually being credible. the tuition must be paid by the donor directly to the educational institution So what? Do you realize how easy it is to pay tuition for someone else at most schools? You make out a check to "The Trustees of The University of XXX" and you put a student account number on the memo line.

3	Alimony is sexist! But the evil patriarchy is also trying to stop our sugar daddy relationships! Gift tax applies for anything more than $14k per year, no matter what. This isn't true at all. Gifts for tuition, medical, and dental expenses are not subject to any gift tax and do not count against the exemption. The $14k exemption can be frontloaded for 5 years all in one year, provided that you place that money in a 529 plan for "qualified" education expenses. As many sugar babies are in school of one form or another, this is a perfect mechanism - especially since qualified expenses are very…	/r/MensRights	23/02/15 08:41 PM
