| 1 | Boys left to fail at school because attempts to help them earn wrath of feminists, says UK ex-University Admissions Chief.Good to see they included a feminist perspective: Dan Bell, founder of the Men and Boys Coalition, said he hopes the conference will encourage greater dialogue about these issues. “People do feel quite cautious about men and boys because it is seen as speaking up on behalf of a privileged class," he said. “When rigid gender roles were more enforced, the traditional masculine stereotype was that you just get on with it. Now we have moved to more awareness of gender issues – but it is mainly probl… | /r/MensRights | 17/11/18 09:06 AM |

About half of midsize and large firms have systems through which employees can challenge pay, promotion, and termination decisions.

| 3 | Great to see people like Melissa Benoist acknowledging men's domestic abuse.IIRC "severe" means a hospital admission (or just visit?) from physical violence, because it's a straighforward way to measure it. I guess you could measure things like ptsd or cptsd but unlike physical injuries there's a huge bias in whether it's detected or not. | /r/MensRights | 06/10/18 10:17 AM |
| 7 | Patriarchy paradox: how equality reinforces stereotypes | Good to see this sort of level-headed debunking of feminists myths in a major newspaper."Toxic masculinity" is a stereotype. It paints ALL men as dangerous (with the nice 'motte and bailey' defense that "it only refers to the toxic elements of masculinity). "Toxic masculinity" is worse, it's a truism. The bad bits of masculinity are bad, duh. Anyone who uses it without carefully defining it is pretty poorly educated - at best they are using a vague term that others will misinterpret.

| 1 | STUDY: STEM diversity efforts have 'unintended consequences'A large portion of social justice seems to be about teaching (supposedly) oppressed classes to feel victimized, paranoid, and hopeless.

OK, I guess there might be a few cases where, say, a work colleague is observed to always explain stuff to women and never explain stuff to men (assuming everything else is equal). But even then, it's still mind-reading. There's malevolent sexism and benevolent sexism. Do men treat women differently because they think they're idiots?

| 1 | The EU's official "gender strategy" omits all big problems facing boys and men more than girls and women (like education, health, life expectancy, suicides, sentences, marginalization, social networks, violence, substance abuse etc).Women live longer than men in pretty much every country in the world. As you noted, the UN doesn't count this as "gender inequality" for some reason. But it gets better. Feminists will literally argue that lessening the gap is an example of gender inequality -- against women! If men just naturally have a shorter life expectancy (more risk-taking behaviour, maybe even just simple biology - hormones can control whether your body devotes more resources to long-term maintenance or short-term perform… | /r/MensRights | 09/08/18 09:31 PM |
| 3 | Changing the definition of domestic violence to include normal activities like sharing finances, or even buying your girlfriend dinner too often: "How did a confident, successful woman become a poverty-stricken recluse?"|The GuardianEvery dispute or argument is sort-of about "power and control". Like, my SO watches a TV channel and I want to change it then we're both trying to control what the other watches so we're both abusive by that stupid model. What really matters is the tactics. People disagree, and that's a problem for their relationship. But it shouldn't be illegal unless their disagreements are turning violent. Otherwise you're basically trying to make disagreements within a relationship illegal. | /r/MensRights | 09/08/18 05:38 AM |
| 1 | Woman was "completely blindsided" by the way her ex husband went after her money. He hired a lawyer and pursued a percentage of her earnings, including her future assets! She worked years for that money.What's really funny is that they have 2 stories. A woman (who had presumably earned more) who was sued for assets, and another woman with fewer assets who had to spend a lot on legal fees. Both are apparently victims. | /r/MensRights | 09/08/18 05:34 AM |

When Canada hates men so much, it gives her $185,000 to do it.No they had "compensatory masculinity" instead. The article mentioned compensatory masculinity, hyper masculinity, toxic masculinity, and hegemonic masculinity. It's almost like it's some hate movement trying to reduce all the world's problems to one thing (masculinity), but since this is manifestly retarded they then have to start coming up with sub-types of masculinity rather than saying "well maybe masculinity isn't the only problem in the world". | /r/MensRights | 09/08/18 12:26 AM |

Women are most likely to be injured (not killed, just injured) in a bilaterally abusive relationship where they initiate (basically two lower-class idiots who hit each other). If a woman is being abusive, and the guy can't leave (lower-class, so he doesn't have resources), he'll end up dealing with it the only way he can. Which can end up with the woman in a hospital or a morgue. Sure, it would be nice if violent lower-class men d… | /r/MensRights | 26/07/18 03:13 AM |

The Title IX office needs to send back a response, and that response has to be sufficient.

Lets blame men again!Roughly speaking, for every single woman there's a single man. I guess neither are trying hard enough. Like most gender issues, it's not entirely symmetrical.

That's the REAL story.I assume it's still relevant after about 20 years: Fighting Back Works: The case for advocating and teaching self-defense against rape. Yes, women can be taught not to get raped. It's not 100% effective, but unless you're insane and think that society is actually teaching men to rape (e.g. you're a self-described feminist) then it's not a bad idea.

If society wants to criminalise casual sex with drunk people (because we want to protect people from their stupid decisions while drunk) then it should be perfectly reasonable to charge them both. If two drunk drivers hit each other, then you don't let one off the hook because they were somehow slightly less responsible.

From Wikipedia: Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of mental abuse in which information is twisted or spun, selectively omitted to favor the abuser, or false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception, and sanity. Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

When someone asked for it to be taken down because it is offensive they responded with "Ummm...why?"A C-cup is roughly average. 6' is more like a D-cup. Actually, it's a big more complicated (due to obesity skewing the statistics), but C cups are about average for a healthy woman, and D cups are a bit above average. | /r/MensRights | 14/05/15 01:22 AM |
| 2 | Local radio just posted this huge double standard. When someone asked for it to be taken down because it is offensive they responded with "Ummm...why?"Yep. And most women will think you're 6'1". In my experience, you can generally subtract 2 inches from whatever most women say. I actually saw a post on reddit by Rory McCann's ex (The Hound from Game of thrones). She dumped him because at 6'6" he was too freakishly big. A lot of women are pretty clueless on male heights. It's like men guessing cup sizes. A 14H sounds good if you just rattle off a random number, and don't know what it actually means. | /r/MensRights | 14/05/15 01:10 AM |
| 1 | [interesting] Slavoj Žižek thinks political correctness is exactly what perpetuates prejudice and racismThe quotation you point out as mistaken need not be the actual statement of the author's main point. It's enough to refute something it depends upon. And for god's sake don't straw man. If you're trying to disprove something, give it the benefit of the doubt, and try to make it as solid as possible before knocking it down. | /r/MensRights | 10/05/15 01:31 AM |

| – | Reddit Cofounder Says Misogynists on Reddit Are 'Deplorable'Some people think that anti-feminism = misogyny. If you want actual misogyny, it's easier to find on a default sub. It's kind of like saying the atheist sub is nihilist. It might be anti-Christian, so it's got the whole "God is dead" thing going, but it's nothing compared to the defaults. | /r/MensRights | 07/05/15 06:40 AM |
