That being said, it's terribly written.

Any coverage is better then none at this point. Fact is MRM is up against an educated.. exclusive and rather massive clique.. all MRM have are a few web pages. Even negative attention at this point is better then none. But what needs be done is the creation of "Mens Studies" in education.. creation of a legitimate political movement.. and financing. MRM is in its infancy from what I can see. Only slowly realizing that men are heavily discriminated against both socially and politically. Been too busy trying to "man up".

Guys, please, please write some nice comments there, upvote the other nice comments and downvote all the trolls. This woman is doing a lot of good for speaking up for men, and it's the least we can do. The troll comments are, at present, getting far more upvotes than the sensible ones.

Some of the article's comments do say the list is poorly written while praise it for the fact that it is a step in the right direction. It would be great to at least upvote these.

Overall okay while poorly written, but one of them stood out to me.

Men are recovering from the recession more quickly than women. One study revealed that men gained 768,000 jobs after the recession, while women actually lost 218,000 jobs.

Statistics fail. Men lost 75-80% of the jobs lost during the recession, and looking solely at employment ignores when people retire or remove themselves from the workforce voluntarily.

For example, after the recession women were starting more of their own businesses than men. Could that account for the difference?

Well the government gives tax breaks and incentives to female business owners that it doesn't give men, so it's something to account for.

At least people are asking the right questions.

The truth is, real men do cry. Every man has emotions. Why should it be unacceptable for a man to show weakness?

Why is showing emotion weakness?

This is a really bad article. It's bad enough that someone who ostensibly is trying to talk about gender inequality chooses to identify the the group as "the male gender." But the author doesn't even seem committed enough to the issue at hand to bring up and of the really important ways that gender inequality operates to hurt men.

Crappy article. I added my own list in the comments.

I wouldn't call some blog site "mainstream coverage". Also it was a shit article.

I don't recall any parents in my community actually trying to tell pre-school girls to avoid boys. I've never heard of parents in any other community trying to do that. It's a dumb joke and is always presented that way.

I think the author was trying to look at the issue evenhandedly but when she wrote, "For the women with male partners that are reading, when is the last time you held the door open for your mate? Opened his car door? Paid for a meal or done something kind for him without expecting anything in return? It’s important to give respect to get respect. Women want their men to treat them like queens and have a tendency to bash or insult them when they don’t do it. But how often do we treat men like kings?" it is clear that she is so absorbed in the issue of men's rights that she felt the need to antagonize the entire female gender. I was excited to read this subreddit at first because I have always felt that gender equality is a much better goal to try to achieve instead of just feminism, but so much of the things on this subreddit are so poorly written, sensationalized, or written in a manner that is more alienating than persuasive, that I am seriously thinking of unsubscribing from mensrights.
