5	Thread talking about how Men shouldnt' have reproductive rights. 9 months vs 18 years	/r/MensRights	03/05/14 11:08 PM
2	I get told (frequently) "You know all the right things to say, like you've done this with every girl." and they become disinterested. Go read a poem. You can't just mad lib everything by the r/seduction book. You have to make mistakes and be convincingly human, or else she is fair to assume you are a robot. It's like the zen saying "If you prize a perfectly polished ball you should put a crack in it to show how perfectly the rest is polished"	/r/seduction	25/02/14 05:47 PM
1	I get told (frequently) "You know all the right things to say, like you've done this with every girl." and they become disinterested. Then explain that. Talk about how you feel, and what is influencing your choices (such as /r/seduction research). If you feel like they are thinking you are dishonest, unpack that with them.	/r/seduction	25/02/14 05:30 PM
14	I saw this at my university today. Obviously only men can be sexual predators. If it's on school property, it has to be be school approved. The school administration is liable.	/r/MensRights	04/02/14 09:21 AM
1	A short list of some common men's issues There's like 100 ways to do it painlessly. It's absolutely rediculous to imply that it should be done on babies so that they "forget". Nobody forgets.	/r/MensRights	22/01/14 03:47 PM
23	A short list of some common men's issues Nobody is talking about banning circumcision. Just letting people choose.	/r/MensRights	16/01/14 09:18 PM
1	These went up in my school... imagine the backlash if genders were swapped... Yea it is actively evolving. I'm talking about Judith Butler's queer theory, which has risen to acceptance over the past 10 years.	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 10:29 PM
1	These went up in my school... imagine the backlash if genders were swapped... Yea but the key idea is that it's not only along two axis (feminine vs masculine) it's literally anything that you do. If you said your gender involved making trumpet noises each time you enter a new room, queer theorists would understand that.	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 09:02 PM
0	These went up in my school... imagine the backlash if genders were swapped... Mmm, it's actually more like an arena for performance according to queer theory. The same way an actor could play thousands of different characters, people can play thousands of different genders.	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 08:44 PM
6	Feminist Men's group's article on how to be a good Dad. Shut-up, and give $$$$ to the Mother. Micheal Kimmel is always pushing for this group.	/r/MensRights	28/12/13 11:05 PM
10	Girl who friendzoned me nearly 10 years ago slammed into the wall and recently messaged me. Don't feel bad. 'The wall' only punishes women who want a family but didn't plan for it. She is still free to live a successful life with her cats.	/r/TheRedPill	28/12/13 07:04 PM
1	Virginia man serves four years in prison for a false rape conviction, is found to be innocent and released, still remains on sex offender list and is on probation Clearly you gentlemen aren't thinking straight here. The real victim is the girl who was slut shamed for viewing pornography. You see the patriarchy wanted to punish her sexuality, so her only rational recourse was to deflect. Get some empathy you jerks. /s	/r/MensRights	28/12/13 04:02 PM
9	"Male Privilege" Whats the causation between being paid more and workplace deaths? Surely the highest paying jobs have very low death and injury rates.	/r/MensRights	27/12/13 08:54 AM
8	Misandristic posters in college How do those complaints proceed. Do the send someone to do an audit? Do you have to testify in court or something?	/r/MensRights	26/12/13 08:50 AM
6	I wonder why feminists haven't ever called her out for being a sexist... Post-structuralism is a branch of modern philosophy. Like all academic labels, it's a bit ambiguous, but basically it means that social systems are far too fast changing, self-referential, and complex to be reliant on any fixed structure or framework. So post-structural feminists are academic feminists that use post-structural logic to argue for gender equality. This is where the modern idea that gender is individually performed, instead of socially constructed, comes from. Tldr: read the Wikipe…	/r/MensRights	15/12/13 06:54 AM
10	I wonder why feminists haven't ever called her out for being a sexist... This is why post-structural feminism is so important for MRAs! Feminists like Judith Butler are realizing that a black+white view of power structure is counter-productive. And they are evolving the theories. Though certainly not fast enough IMO.	/r/MensRights	15/12/13 05:23 AM
0	Classroom sexism? 8th grade Redditor posts story about female teacher who rejected two of his papers about technology hobbies, saying that only domestic hobbies are "age appropriate" Nope. You need to unpack what I mean by fear in this context. She made the judgment that bitcoins aren't "age-appropriate". That is inherently a fear-based judgment. Fearing some damage it will do to the kids. However, she never justified that fear. Thats why I labeled it irrational. Perhaps the generalization I made was conflating bitcoin into technology. But I still think that is fair because she made no distinction between the two, and her only provided counter-examples were of non-technologi…	/r/MensRights	12/12/13 01:16 AM

1	Classroom sexism? 8th grade Redditor posts story about female teacher who rejected two of his papers about technology hobbies, saying that only domestic hobbies are "age appropriate" Maybe. He did post screencaps of the grading website though.	/r/MensRights	11/12/13 10:42 PM
-1	Classroom sexism? 8th grade Redditor posts story about female teacher who rejected two of his papers about technology hobbies, saying that only domestic hobbies are "age appropriate" I read her comments and didn't find any rationality. If you find her rationality, let me know. I made that judgment based only on her own words.	/r/MensRights	11/12/13 10:42 PM
1	Men who prefer slim women are called shallow. 98.8% of women won't message a short man because of "biological preference." It would have been a little weird if I, out of nowhere, asked "what is hypergamy" in a thread about an example of it where the word hadn't been mentioned yet. It's like, What is argumentative discourse?	/r/MensRights	11/12/13 01:10 AM
1	Men who prefer slim women are called shallow. 98.8% of women won't message a short man because of "biological preference." woosh	/r/MensRights	11/12/13 01:04 AM
-1	Classroom sexism? 8th grade Redditor posts story about female teacher who rejected two of his papers about technology hobbies, saying that only domestic hobbies are "age appropriate" I think she's just "gaslighting", trying to explain away her irrational fear of technology (which is very related to misandry). She made no good faith argument connecting any of those topics and bitcoins. She just listed a random set of offensive topics.	/r/MensRights	11/12/13 01:00 AM

10	Jon Stewart expertly satirizing Debbie Shultz for blaming Congress's problems on men. [skip to 4:40] He has called out other female politicians for this before. I think he is seriously tired of the "men are the problem" rhetoric.	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 04:48 AM
7	Facebook has a policy of not allowing hate speech and hateful content? Not so much.... I don't mind the satire, I'm mad about the hypocrisy. If Facebook wants to be a 'safe space' where violence isn't tolerated, that's their right. But only targeting men and conservatives is hypocritical.	/r/MensRights	02/10/13 11:58 PM
10	TIL in the city of St. Louis it is illegal to "refuse to provide for the support of [your] family"... But only if you are a married man. It's a misdemeanor to be homeless?	/r/MensRights	29/09/13 12:35 PM
2	Is there a male equivalent for Dowry Death? The problem with civil suits is that it relys on family and friends of the deceased to peruse justice. Criminal charges are pursued by the state, and therefor offers more justice to men without sufficient support systems.	/r/MensRights	29/09/13 07:43 AM
1	Is there a male equivalent for Dowry Death? There's a huge difference between a stranger insulting your religion, and your life partner saying that you aren't good enough. I'm talking about theoretical situations (that do happen) where the suicide could have been prevented by mutual divorce, or relationship therapy. And was caused by an emotionally abusive partner. If we think marriage is so important that we protect it with alimony and divorce, why can't we say "You have a moral and legal responsibility for the well being of your partner…	/r/MensRights	29/09/13 07:19 AM
1	Is there a male equivalent for Dowry Death? I'm not talking about murder though. Murder is illegal is every state already. I'm talking about shaming someone into suicide. I agree the law makes sense. I'm saying we should bring a similar law to the US to curb male suicides. I think if people are legally responsible for the mental health of their partners, we would see less suicides.	/r/MensRights	29/09/13 07:04 AM
1	Is there a male equivalent for Dowry Death? I think there is also a personal element of shame these women feel, that they weren't 'attractive' enough or 'womanly' enough to convince their father to pay more. Not saying it's justified, but it's equivalent to the personal shame a man might feel for not being productive enough to keep his job.	/r/MensRights	29/09/13 03:08 AM
2	X-post from /r/AnythingGoesPics on gender equality This cliche is so insubstantial as to border on nonsense. Men are people. Women are people. People are imperfect, and it's not dehumanizing to have an opinion on women as a group. In fact forming an opinion is fundamental to being human. Refusing to form your own opinion turns YOU into a robot.	/r/MensRights	28/09/13 05:46 PM

2	Top judge says mothers should have children taken away if they don't let fathers see them It's not like the kids are being killed, they are still well off after being taken away. A normal person's parental instincts should be satisfied with that. It's mostly selfishness that makes people demand ownership of their kids.	/r/MensRights	29/08/13 12:36 AM
1	Tajik men are forced to leave their country and enter poverty in a foreign land to survive. But what about the women? Hehe, I enjoyed it too, thanks. I recognize that MRA's have a rap of being unrelenting jerks. So I try to make a conscious effort to point out when I agree online. Like you said earlier, I think people are often much more reasonable than their comments would suggest.	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 10:22 PM

1	Tajik men are forced to leave their country and enter poverty in a foreign land to survive. But what about the women? The injsutice I see here is on the part of the Al Jazeera editors. They put this documentary out that specifically shames Tajik men for having agency. The entire article is predicated on the idea that Tajik men aren't doing enough for the Tajik women. If you read the comments everyone is calling them cowards, and saying they aren't "man enough".	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 08:19 PM
1	Tajik men are forced to leave their country and enter poverty in a foreign land to survive. But what about the women? I'm not saying their life is great, of course it's worse than mine. I'm totally sympathetic to that. It doesn't mean that these married women don't have certain privileges over their male counter parts. I'm looking at this in the context of how incredibly complex it is. It's not as simple as one group being the "privileged" group. There are real grievances on both sides.	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 07:39 PM
1	Tajik men are forced to leave their country and enter poverty in a foreign land to survive. But what about the women? If I could choose between staying at home and shipping off to an unknown land. Seems pretty simple to me. Ask these women to go find work for the family and I think you will find how they are privileged.	/r/MensRights	03/08/13 09:06 AM

-10	Adria Richards fired from SendGrid. Her response marginalizes what are sometimes very real and serious sexism problems in the tech industry. This specific situation was of course stupid and irrelevant. But it makes the women who do actually deal with sexism look like childish complainers.

2	A rant from a feminist and a mother. I think its not about the direct suffering, but the sentiment which the practice institutionalizes. Male babies should "suck it up" and the less they feel or express pain the more of a man they are. No big deal, just some foreskin right?	/r/MensRights	11/11/12 05:15 AM
-1	“bitch is a gendered insult that demeans ALL women” lets just consult the rules of this forum... -atheismplus (feminist/atheist forum) I believe he is commenting on the wil wheaten quote used on the rules page. "Don't be a dick". Its a disturbing case of hypocrisy that people would reference a rules page which uses a gendered insult to vilify a gendered insult. In a vacuum however, I do think both words are completely appropriate. I mean they're just words after all.	/r/MensRights	12/10/12 02:21 PM
19	Didn't know who would be more offended, Paleo or MensRights... Whatever guys. The campaign's job is to help you memorize the bad fatty acid names (Saturated and Trans-fats). The best way to do that for a person, is with "human" names. I don't think everything needs to be perfectly PC. This is comparable to Feminism whining.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 05:42 PM
-1	This is just great. Why does it have to be a woman... I don't see much of an issue with asking for specific genders for jobs. Same way as I might look for a certain personality or someone with a certain look while hiring. Workplaces directly benefit from diversity, it cultivates innovation and inspires openness. You have to think about it as designing a tribe. I wouldn't succeed in the rainforest if everyone in my tribe solved problems the same way.	/r/MensRights	07/05/12 01:09 AM
