1	Are women's rights groups, and other semi-women groups like SPLC, necessary? I'm on board with the government paying for contraception and insurance companies being completely eliminated. But regardless of where you fall on the issue of health care in America, the OP's comments about the public paying for contraception is flat-out false.	/r/MensRights	12/03/12 10:02 PM
0	Are women's rights groups, and other semi-women groups like SPLC, necessary? The recent women's right issue about public paying, through insurance, for women's birth control bills, no small amount of about $1,000+ yearly, IMHO seems like icing on the cake. I won't comment on the rest of this, but you're very misinformed about this debate. The issue was whether private insurance should be required to pay for birth control (which is far cheaper, it should be said, than the cost of unintended pregnancies, so insurers actually save money here). There has never been any requi…	/r/MensRights	12/03/12 03:14 PM
1	TIL: Southern Poverty Law Center thinks R/mensrights is a burgeoning hate group. And her idiotic views on rape mean she should go to jail? What?	/r/MensRights	09/03/12 04:46 PM

1	If your post is getting downvoted on r/mensrights, it's probably because of the feminist downvote brigade in r/shitredditsays. They complain that we trespass in their "safe space," all the while mindlessly downvoting every legitimate point that we make. Privilege works in a general sense, not an individual one. The fact that you continue to misunderstand this, or think that it somehow invalidates the concept, as well as continuing to use words like "solely" even after it's been explained multiple times that that's not what privilege entails, suggests that you're being willfully ignorant.	/r/MensRights	15/12/11 08:18 PM

They complain that we trespass in their "safe space," all the while mindlessly downvoting every legitimate point that we make. It would give her a societal advantage over equally qualified minority candidates, absolutely. And the little, mostly unconscious biases that are ingrained in you, me, Reddit administrators and my parents since birth could certainly make the difference. You seem to think that privilege means that a white person will always get a job over a black person, no matter what the case. That's not at all what it means. It means that, in a general sense, given a black person and a white person with identi…	/r/MensRights	15/12/11 07:45 PM

She thinks that she and I are privileged simply because of the color of our skin. True. She saying that in the US, we won't be judged by our education, personality, ethics, etc, just the color of our skin. Not at all what she said. Wow. You really, really don't understand the concept of privilege. Do you even understand the meaning of the word? Like, even in a noncontroversial way? You realize it's possible for someone to have a privilege that doesn't outweigh their other qualities, right?	/r/MensRights	15/12/11 07:35 PM

Would you generalize about African Americans or Mexicans in the same way? Absolutely. She didn't say you treat her differently. She said society in general does. And it's absolutely true of any race.	/r/MensRights	15/12/11 07:05 PM
1	The Gender Gap: Boys Lagging - CBS News Who was it that handed white men the white male privilege? Our white male ancestors. that every single white male has it and is automatically better off than everyone else This is not in any way what is meant by "privilege." There are different privileges, and almost everyone you'll meet will likely be privileged in one way or another. In the US, for instance, the privilege of having wealth (especially of being born into it) far outweighs anything like gender or race privileges. But those still …	/r/MensRights	09/10/11 03:35 AM

1	If the wage gap is real, wouldn't employers be able to save money by only hiring women? pssvr said feminists don't understand markets. YouMadeMeDumber essentially asked why he thought that was the case. pssvr responded that feminists are socialists, implying that explanation -- just being a socialist -- was enough to prove that feminists don't understand how markets work.	/r/MensRights	01/09/11 01:26 AM
1	If the wage gap is real, wouldn't employers be able to save money by only hiring women? I browse occasionally. Anyway, I never said /r/anarchism understands how markets work. I said you can still be a socialist and understand how markets work. Easily, in fact.	/r/MensRights	01/09/11 01:12 AM
3	If the wage gap is real, wouldn't employers be able to save money by only hiring women? If you ask them, they'll tell you. Thanks for the implication that being socialist = not understanding markets, though. Most socialists understand markets just fine -- they understand that a completely free and unregulated market leads to a hugely unfair society.	/r/MensRights	31/08/11 12:37 PM
-7	I'm really getting sick of this shit. That argument can only be used in favor of new and emerging underdog points and beliefs. No it can't. And beside, if you think feminism is a mainstream position, you need to spend less time on /r/trees. Maybe one day, but not today. Since feminism is widely accepted and pushed in general society and on reddit Ha. Ha ha. /r/feminisms: ~9000 readers /r/MensRights: ~25,000 readers MR is not a minority on Reddit. Not even close.	/r/MensRights	11/08/11 03:12 AM
0	I'm really getting sick of this shit. No offense, but that's a pretty shitty argument. The same exact argument could be applied to feminism on Reddit. EDIT: Nevermind, I sort of did mean a slight bit of offense.	/r/MensRights	11/08/11 02:32 AM
0	Why the Gender Gap Won't Go Away Right? I don't know whether I should upvote or downvote, and which of those would be ironic. My brain is full of fuck.	/r/MensRights	05/08/11 01:51 AM
1	Why is there so much hate for feminism in here when all feminists want is equality? If that's all you want why don't you call yourselves feminists too? Fair enough; obviously, you and I have strong disagreements over feminism (and probably MR, I assume). But I still think you're jumping to conclusions that someone posting an FAQ or introduction to a topic is automatically dogmatic.	/r/MensRights	28/07/11 04:39 PM
2	Why is there so much hate for feminism in here when all feminists want is equality? If that's all you want why don't you call yourselves feminists too? Well, you guessed wrong. It's a Feminism FAQ. I fail to see how that's any more dogmatic than the MensRights FAQ on the sidebar of this subreddit.	/r/MensRights	28/07/11 04:09 PM
4	Why is there so much hate for feminism in here when all feminists want is equality? If that's all you want why don't you call yourselves feminists too? The fuck? Not everyone is the greatest at putting their thoughts into words. Nothing in the submitter's comment suggested that his wife did anything dogmatic or crazy. She simply provided some resources counter to her husband's opinion. There's nothing wrong about that.	/r/MensRights	28/07/11 03:56 PM
1	This is why I can't take most feminists seriously. Here we have a horrific tragedy and they focus on something like this. Actually not at all what happened. I was sincerely asking. I don't remember what that deleted comment said, but it wasn't really an answer. But thanks for shutting down debate by downvoting everything.	/r/MensRights	27/07/11 09:30 PM
