| 4 | Imagine this were a fat, ugly female instead. There would be outrageOne day, in the near future, I will learn to take the internet and reddit less literally, I thought they were showing me how to use the name reddit properly. I'm wearing the dunce cap today. Thanks for your help. | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 04:21 AM |
| 8 | Imagine this were a fat, ugly female instead. There would be outrageCan you explain it to me. I'm new to reddit. Thanks for your help. | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 04:12 AM |
| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I can't stop you from attempting to deceive me into saying something you don't like. After which you will just berate me again. I'm sorry but I'm bowing out. If you'd like it - I'll even say you win? (Question mark intentional) You Eddie are a winner. Congrats. Enjoy the rest of your evening. | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 03:52 AM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I could have just as easily asked my son- where has the chunky peanut butter gone? I can only find the creamy (his favorite.) Does that mean that I am telling him to go and get me the chunky peanut butter? No, it does not. Do you have children? | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 03:32 AM |

| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.What I'm learning in this debate is that there are many kinds of men in the world. Some of them are stoic cowboys, some of them are emotionally open. Just as it takes a certain kind of man to be a logger or rancher it takes another kind to be a psychiatrist or lawyer. Thankfully there seem to be plenty of the latter because we seem to be moving away from the former. However, I would like to make a valid point- just because it seems like there are more sissy boys- it may be that only those men ar… | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 03:18 AM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I'll remind my son that it's appropriate to consider all views in life including those of women who have an 'ideal.' I also remind him that some people like to use profanity for the sake of making comments that have no merit. This - is trolling- correct? | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 03:13 AM |
| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Yes. We don't do Disney- how come somebody always wins, somebody always dies and somebody's always a princess? I guess it probably sells movies. But we think it's unrealistic. We were big on Thomas the Tank Engine. It helps that my grandmother is a Brit. | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 03:11 AM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Then you are welcome not to be involved in the discussion. But I will take your opinions to heart. I am sorry if I misunderstood what your views of reddit are. I'm pretty sure that we probably don't share the same worldview, which would mean we don't share the same redditview either. I asked- I have a son, here are my views on manhood. The views are contradictory to those I find on MRA subreddit. Please weigh in with your opinions. Thank you for expressing yours. Why does downvoting matter? I se… | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 03:09 AM |
| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Yes the games. Ugh. I mentioned earlier that I also have a daughter. We are unfortunately fighting the games right now. We're trying to teach both of them that the games are NOT acceptable. I have very few female friends because of the games. I refuse to play them and I am isolated because of it. | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 03:05 AM |
| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I whole heartedly agree with this! I studied cultural anthropology in college. I am completely fascinated by the fact that we were so successful when we were tribal in nature, and now we seem to be the complete opposite. I know I shouldn't throw race in here, but I often look at the Mexican population in my city and compare them to the black community. (I live in the southwest.) I see the Mexican groups kicking down socioeconomic barriers and become successfully integrated into all levels of soc… | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 04:31 AM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I see a lot of comments from men that say they have chosen not to have families, they hate all things female- They keep a safe distance from women so they never have to provide the protection you mention. Or they are lying about doing that? I don't know. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 04:12 AM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I think the life saver bond probably exists between fathers and sons, but I don't see it much more than that. For example the men my aunts all married saw one another as enemies, but were polite to one another in public for the sake of not pissing off their father-in-law off. They still live in a society that accepts this kind of culture. So for them it works. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 04:07 AM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Wonderful summary. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 04:03 AM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.They are stoic cowboys to everyone but their women. So, in their private lives with their SOs (women) they don't feel the burden they've placed on themselves as strongly. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 04:01 AM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.We also agree that it's a bad idea. It creates expectations from society, and our family that we don't buy into. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 03:59 AM |
| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Political action sounds awesome. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 03:25 AM |
| 4 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.We want men to have the liberation given to women in the last 60 years. I've been waiting to hear someone say that so plainly. Would you argue then, that since the liberation notion is the original tenant of the women's rights movement that you agree with women's rights but not with feminism. I don't think feminism is what they claim it is. It was explained to me as a child as a women's rights and liberation movement. As I explore it more, I see that it is a war on men. Feminists want to take po… | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 03:20 AM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Thank you for your willingness to discuss. It seems that the traditional gender roles should no longer apply. In an intellectual/ digital world it will no longer matter what your gender is. But won't there still be subcultures where it does? Let's assume we accept that gender is no longer important. How do we explain this to our children? I don't know how many pre-pubescent kids you've been around lately, but to them gender is pretty damn important. If at a young age it's something that they can… | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 02:22 AM |
| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.That makes sense. I thought it was an activism group or something and since I hadn't seen a lot of people saying- we're protesting this here, or meet us at this location I was beginning to wonder wth. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/11 01:59 AM |
| -1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.That is exactly the opposite of what I was raised to believe. Can I ask what kind of world you grew up in? Culturally I mean. Small town, city? Large family? Small? Religious? What occupation did your mother/ father hold? Were they formally educated? What I've learned from asking this question is that my views are not like those of many others. I'm wondering what created this? | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 11:03 PM |
| -2 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Well, I've learned not to use the whining viewpoint here. If I want to comment in the future I'll choose my words more wisely. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 11:00 PM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Excellent point by the way!! Why should men have to fit your ideal? Just sayin'. Sometimes as parents we get so caught up in making sure we do what's right that we forget to just go with it. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 10:56 PM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.He has many males in his life. He sees his biological father when his biological father wants to see him. Biodad has a new wife now and that time has dwindled to about one weekend every 5 weeks. I don't force him to spend time with him or his dad to take him. It's on his dad's schedule. It's always been that way- he makes his own schedule. I've never said no. Should I be forcing him to take him more often? He's never asked for it. My partner (husband, fiance', boyfriend- wtf ever you want to cal… | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 10:55 PM |
| -1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Thank you. I greatly appreciate your last comment: I would tell myself to learn more and expose myself to all sides of the truth, not just what I think is true. I would tell myself to do what will truly be good for me, not what is comfortable or what is easy. This is a commonly held and taught idea in our house. It's great for it to be affirmed. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 10:50 PM |
| -1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.In my world men are strong stoic cowboys. I've tried to make that point in a few other posts. I've always been told that the idea of 'sexism' is a feminist propaganda machine. I do believe that it is. But I will admit that I am beginning to dismiss it, a little. Yes, I get it. I'm not stupid, far from it. I spend A LOT of time asking A LOT of questions. People assume I'm stupid because of that. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 10:47 PM |
| -3 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.The point I tried to make is that the 'man up' wasn't created by feminists. It was created by men. It's a pretty old school notion. I guess some feminists are using it now? I don't read their garbage so I don't know. The idea of it being ok to cry and whine - that's a feminist view. It's rooted in the practice of psychology, which is predominately a woman's field. I follow the trends in this field so this I can attest to. I understand the world is not black and white. But I think I have a pretty… | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 10:36 PM |
| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Thank you for your link. Give me a fucking break, when are men going to call bullshit and stop capitulating. I think the very fact that Feminism ever did so well shows there was a weakness in men and is something you should think about. This is the point I'm trying to make. But when I say it, I'm being a feminist troll. Also in regards to equality. I don't believe in it. There was a time I did. There also was a time when I believed in the notion of fairness. There is no such thing. I've accepted… | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 10:21 PM |
| -3 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.So far, everyone is telling me that I have no idea what a man is. I'm trying to say that all the men I know believe the things I'm saying. It was they who started the 'man up' idea. It was they who told me that men who whine are crying little sissys. These men are NOT feminists. These are men who hunt, carry guns, own ranches and farms. These are men who didn't allow their sons to cry. I've not seen some of these men cry EVER, even at their mother's funerals. Some of you may have only seen these… | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 09:56 PM |
| 0 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.My previous comment was very poorly written. First- no one is disposable. I don't like your name. That man should try to look past his feelings. I know that's hard, I have family that have attempted suicide and one that succeeded. That although he may not get to see his kids enough right now, there will come a time when they are away from their brutally abusive lying mother and they will seek him out. All children are curious, and want to discover for themselves. They will want to see if mom was… | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 09:45 PM |
| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I would tell that man that he must live for his children. That even though he does not see them now, it is far greater that he be there when they want to see him than it will be for them to know he is dead. I would tell that man to seek help immediately. To take action. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 09:36 PM |
| -3 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Why is it so hard to believe that I believe this? Were you never around people who did? | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 09:35 PM |

I'm President and Proprietor of a business. Can you cook? Please elaborate on what statements show me to be stupid. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 09:34 PM |

| -1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.So, is the whining viewpoint common? I've not seen anyone else say that. What I have seen is a lot people having some really smart discussions. I was hoping to tap into that resource. I'm still not familiar with the real meaning of the troll. It's someone who posts shit to piss people off, right? Why would I type four paragraphs to make someone mad? Wouldn't the negative back lash at me be far more detrimental than any benefit I would obtain? | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 09:28 PM |
| -1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I would guess that with an attitude like that you have no kids yourself. Either that or you a biological determinist, or subscribe to sociobiology. Neither of which I agree with in entirety. I would to be the kind of parent that my son can look back at and say- you know my mom was great. She helped me navigate the world and gave me great advice. I learned from her example. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 09:20 PM |

Her father has sole custody. (We don't plan to marry- but sometimes I say husband, sometimes boyfriend, sometimes partner, sometimes fiance': otherwise people start asking me stupid questions on why we aren't getting married.

| -5 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.You are the second comment I've read regarding inequality or equality. I don't believe in that notion. I don't believe life is fair. I don't believe the world is a happy fair equal place. Men absolutely should not accept any of the terrible things you've written. I didn't imply that they should either. I didn't suggest anyone should ever be screwed over. How would that benefit anyone? I asked, how do I reconcile my obviously outdated belief system with the reality of where our society is today. … | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 09:07 PM |
| -1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Your second paragraph is actually one of the more valid points I've seen here. Thank you. Can I ask why you think equality is valid? I'm not sure that I believe there is such a thing as equality. There are roles that must be played in a society. Wether those roles are gender based or economic etc. I don't think that equality will ever exist. I suppose I'll be looking worse by putting this fact in here but as a mother it's one I strongly agree with. The only one of the genders who can feed a chil… | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 08:57 PM |
| -2 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Thank you for your response. I think these questions and your video are a good place for me to begin. I used to attribute the societal changes that I see to the fact that I grew up in an incredibly small town that is also very remote. It's 2 hours drive to the next town of only 35K people. Now I live in a large city of 5 million. I thought the difference were small town vs big city. I'm coming to realize the changes are occurring everywhere. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 08:45 PM |
| -3 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I was just in the kitchen. I enjoyed making my family a brunch. I don't find that insulting. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 08:41 PM |
| -1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I suppose there really are idiots like me. Thanks for the 'advice.' | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 08:41 PM |
| -4 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I'm honestly sorry that you feel this way. I've seen that some 'feminist trolls' are on this subreddit. I am not one. I don't think there's anything wrong with the fact that I am asking for honest opinions in this matter. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 08:36 PM |
| -1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.This is not a joke. I'm not sure why you think I would believe I am a princess. I'm not. I don't feel entitled or superior? Did I give off that vibe? I'm sorry if I did. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 08:09 PM |
| -6 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I don't suggest that the entirety is a bunch of whiners. Just that some are. My point is this- the whining is something I was taught to look down on. But it seems to be more and more predominant in culture. When I whine my first response to myself is to stop acting like a baby. So it's not focused just on the men in the family. It's not as acceptable for them. I never said anyone should man up- rather that I was raised in a culture that suggested that. You are correct, I've not been 'here long.' | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 08:04 PM |
| -1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.Most of my extended family hunts on a regular basis. They really believe that they do it to provide sustenance for the family. And in most cases that's what they are doing. My son was drawn to hunt elk this fall with his father. So I'm sure the meat we'll obtain will be quite the haul. I don't fully agree with the killing and I don't like the gamey taste of elk and deer but I do garden and I provide a lot of food for my family that way. | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 08:00 PM |
| 1 | Mother needs advice on how to raise a good man.I think that is a great point. One that I was trying to make. The old west John Wayne era is something that obviously doesn't make much sense anymore. Because of that my ideas of what a man should be obviously don't fit. What I'm asking is where does he fit? What are his roles now? They are not the ones that I thought they were, so what are they? | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 07:57 PM |

| 5 | Why is it alright that while Title IX forces schools to equalize funding for mens' and womens' sports, at my law school, there are 9 different kinds of womens' studies classes and 0 kinds of mens' studies classes?I am interested in learning more about your position on this fondueguy. I would like to post a question on this subreddit, but I am not sure if it's accepted. I am a mother raising a son. In an effort to understand the world he is entering I'm reading here (there and everywhere.) I noticed that you post here semi-frequently so you may know the rules better than I do. Most of the posts on here are actual instances of mensrights issues. Can I ask a question of the redditors here? | /r/MensRights | 22/05/11 06:33 PM |
| 3 | Thank you guys. You really give me hope.Each of my points is directly related to what men go through when falsely accused of rape. Men who are falsely accused of rape must give proof. (just like an AMA) I judged you by your comments- I do not know you aside from a few lines of text- but already I've judged you. Same situation in false rape accusations. You just want to stir the shit- instead of taking your rape accusation seriously and accepting what you did you are going to stir things up. Not cool - I've publicly denounced you. | /r/MensRights | 21/05/11 06:39 PM |
| 3 | Thank you guys. You really give me hope.If this were an AMA I'd ask for proof. Judging by your comments I'm going to guess that you just came here to stir the shit. Not cool. | /r/MensRights | 21/05/11 05:40 PM |

You are a vile and depraved chunk of flesh that doesn’t matter to the world....You are literally worthless.Regarding point b- women Condemning bad behavior. I have to disagree here. Women do nothing but condemn, I have very few female friends because of this. I can't stand the way we treat one another, the judging, the manipulations, the constant back stabbing.

It's disgusting, it's disturbing and frankly, I am completely embarrassed to say that I have a vagina right now. The feminist movement has been losing me as a customer for years now.

Here's my view on the issue. To illustrate the idea of gender equality we take a jar with 100 marbles. In that jar each marble is unique, but it's still a marble so it is equally as powerful and valuable as the other marbles. Women have 50 marbles, men have 50 marbles.
