1	Where to start? Paternity fraud is damaging in a lot of ways. Will look into it more, thanks.	/r/MensRights	23/08/20 06:53 AM
2	Where to start? Thanks for your comment. This is pretty much how I feel about it as well. One thing I was surprised at in the documentary was feminists mocking the idea that men could have issues because they’re men. RBG took on cases in which men were discriminated against based on their sex (particularly in the realm of childcare, she got the language changed from mother to parent child benefits when a father was unable to access this money after his wife died). RBG is a feminist icon and certainly someone I …	/r/MensRights	23/08/20 06:49 AM
2	Where to start? Yep I’m on board with all of what you’ve said to some degree. I think the questions you’ve posed about why men occupy positions of power are very important ones and have relevance to both male and females rights groups. I’m getting tired so I’m not going to expand on any of your points. I think what you’ve said is a good note to end on, and a bit sassy in the last lines but no harm in that :)	/r/MensRights	23/08/20 01:34 AM
2	Where to start? Thanks, and it’s a good question. I agree the realm of public discourse on mainstream liberal media, men are often chastised and women are exalted. There are also clear examples of discrimination against men in the law, such as custody of children. However, the biased public discourse does not automatically translate into women being empowered in every facet of society. As I’ve mentioned in another comment, my field of work is rather notorious for sexism and I’ve had some bad experiences. There …	/r/MensRights	23/08/20 01:01 AM
2	Where to start? Yeah damn I feel bad for her. Much respect for what’s she done bringing out this doc.	/r/MensRights	23/08/20 12:17 AM
1	Where to start? Yeah this is a good point. I was very uncomfortable when she said that. I probably am out of the loop a bit with what contemporary feminists are saying, most of my reading is of 2nd/wave feminists: de Beauvoir, Steinem, Greer (and everyone hates her now). But feminism is relevant for me and my life for various personal reasons and I’m not willing to give it up. Women are very much discriminated against in my field. I’ve had some nasty encounters and reading feminist literature has helped me grow…	/r/MensRights	23/08/20 12:13 AM
1	Where to start? I appreciate you explaining your thoughts to be and responding to my messages. I agree with some of your points and disagree with others. Denying that the patriarchy exists is too far for me, I think it’s a hard argument to make. I’m probably one of those “self proclaimed moderates”, as you say lol. I’m also not sure about the assertion that people believe masculinity itself is a sin, I’m not sure where that’s coming from. But what I and my male friends interpret toxic masculinity to mean are th…	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 11:47 PM
2	Where to start? Ok I’m still giving her a chance but the first video I clicked on was in response to Contrapoints and so far she has just been dissecting the You-Tuber’s clear satire. I’ve been watching contra for a long time and honestly found it funny to see someone dissecting her jokes so seriously, even the one about males taking probiotics LOL I’m still going to watch her other videos, I do agree that she has thoughtful and considered opinions but maybe overthinking it in this particular video.	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 11:24 PM
4	Where to start? Oh yes, I really like her in the documentary! I was actually going to go back and find out her name, thanks for this.	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 11:09 PM
1	Where to start? There are people who self-identify as incels, like the guy in the yellow hoody in this video: https://youtu.be/hOUGNGWmN0k I think incels are a fairly well-defined group of men, I don’t really know why you’re contesting that it’s made up and just used to mock. In any case, I was saying that incels hold extreme views not shared by most MRAs. You could say this about some feminists in the feminist movement. It doesn’t mean I’m going to dismiss either group as invalid. I was making this point in re…	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 10:59 PM
1	Where to start? Rose McGowan is interesting, I have a lot of respect for her. Great interview with Louis Theroux recently. Honestly I do have quite a few problems with “4th wave” feminism. I should say I’m not on twitter or follow many feminist publications that closely, so I can’t really comment on some of your remarks about “letting criminals and fanatics take over”. My issues are related to the constant “victimisation” as women and quotas/tokenism in mainstream outlets. I think both of these feel patronising…	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 10:50 PM
0	Where to start? Ok I’ll take the suffragettes holding back women’s right to vote as a bit of a hot take. Like I said in a previous, I’m didn’t come here to learn about the historical problems with feminism. There are plenty of them. That doesn’t mean it’s not a worthwhile movement and something I should pay respect to as a woman today. If I were to judge the MRA movement with the same level of “here are some bad apples, I dismiss the whole thing”, I wouldn’t be asking to learn more about it on reddit. Some ince…	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 10:30 PM
1	Where to start? I am aware the feminist movement has its problems, I actually just read a book on ‘problematic’ feminists such as MRA Erin Pizzey and some eugenicists in the early 20th century. I’m not interested in dismissing all of feminism as bullshit, I’m interested in learning about men’s rights.	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 10:20 PM
3	Where to start? Just took a look at one of his vids responding to comments made by feminists. He does a really strange voice reading out the comments. He does strike me as quite anti feminist as he responded to one person who commented that feminism was about equality: “what has feminism ever done for men?” (Answer: nothing). This isn’t true. Look no farther than Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s early cases concerning men who were discriminated against on the basis of sex. Also, women getting the vote lead to working clas…	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 09:35 PM
4	Where to start? Thanks, this was mentioned in the documentary and Farrell seems like an interesting guy. I’ll give it a gander.	/r/MensRights	22/08/20 09:25 PM
