but...but... the patriarchy isn't counting those votes! that's why we have a predominantly male congress!

[–]bl1y[S] 8 points9 points10 points 12 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

Oh, right. Getting to forget, for just one moment, that there is The Patriarchy is one of my privileges.

PS: Name the most recent piece of major legislation passed primarily for the benefit of men.

[–]BrambleEdge 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

I am not sure there have ever been any legislation passed primarily for the benefit of men. There have been legislation favouring men (quite some time ago) but they were usually a sort of payment for men having certain obligations/responsibilities/duties, and others have been to create a sort of balance (equity if you like) between men's and women's privileges.

[–]bl1y[S] 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Forming (and funding) public universities before women were any significant part of the college population primarily benefited men. Though, it primarily benefited a very small portion of already privileged men.

Removing land ownership requirements for voting. But, that's not particularly recent, neither is the university example.

The only recent things I can think of are funding for prostate and testicular cancer research, but those are dwarfed by funding for women's health issues.

Removing land ownership requirements for voting. But, that's not particularly recent, neither is the university example.

This is kind of a big deal because it took most of the 19th century for states to finally relinquish land ownership as a prerequisite. Its estimated that only about half of the white men could vote when the constitution was written. Of course immediately after that was dropped most of them stepped in with some kind of poll tax (which wasnt repealed until the 1960's). Yeah it was written to keep blacks from voting but it also cut out poor white men. Even today those citizens who are homeless or felons (mainly men) are still mostly disenfranchised.

Recent being how far back?As I think you have to go pretty far back to find anything passed that that primary benefited men and not women.

[–]Eulabeia 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Male authority is usually advantageous for women. From judges to police to politicians, men in those positions tend to treat women better than women do.

And most of the time when there is a serious female candidate for office, it's one that makes her allegiance to the sisterhood clear.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

So can be female authority. Either way females male out more often than not compared to men.

Yes but you see women are a social minority because . . . well there aren't as many women representatives!

So it doesn't matter that they're catering to women voters the fact that they have a penis mean's men get all these great benefits like . . . um . . . something . . . patriarchy!

[–]kevinwayne 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Actually, the .pdf says 1980, not 1964.

[–]bl1y[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Just read the entirety of the second paragraph, and maybe look at the numbers in the chart as well.

The number of female voters has exceeded the number of male voters since 1964.

1980 is the point where the turnout of eligible female voters exceeded the turnout of eligible male voters.

[–]kevinwayne 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I looked at it. That ain't what it's sayin'.

[–]bl1y[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

In every presidential election since 1980 the proportion of eligible female adults who voted has exceeded the proportion of eligible male adults who voted. [...] The number of female voters has exceeded the number of male voters in every presidential election since 1964. [Emphasis original]

That's exactly what it's saying. It's not even ambiguous. And here's the data from the graph:

1964: 37.5M men, 39.2M women

1968: 38.0M men, 41.0M women

1972: 40.9M men, 44.9M women

1976: 41.1M men, 45.6M women

This has nothing to do with men's rights. Men's rights should be about getting equal opportunity and rights for men and women; the number of women that end up voting every year is not an indication of the rights and opportunities given to men and women.

From the sidebar of this sub reddit:

The Men's Rights subreddit is a place for those who wish to discuss men's rights and the ways said rights are infringed upon.

Mens rights is not a war of Man vs Woman, it's a movement to bring gender equality to where it should be, an equal ground.

[–]themountaingoat 11 points12 points13 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

A large part of the MR agenda is challenging the feminist narrative that women have had no say in how things are run and have been oppressed by men. This post is providing information that challenges those ideas.

This would be obvious to anyone who has spend time in the MRM. Perhaps you should wait till you actually are familiar with a movement before you tell people what it should be about.

[–]themountaingoat 12 points13 points14 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

One of the ways said rights are infringed upon is by misrepresenting the truth about the amount of power women had, which enables men's issues to be ignored as, according to this belief, they are the issues of the privileged and therefore insignificant.

Ergo this post is entirely relevant to Men's rights, and if you were more aware of the situation regarding how men's rights are infringed upon you would realize this.

The number of male and female voters that end up voting speaks nothing to the rights or powers of men and women anyways

In what way? Can the citizens of a democracy exercise their power in ways other than voting now? Because nobody informed me of that change.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It proves that there is no such thing as a patriarchy because the voters are the ones in power and they are female.

HURR DURR!

[–]bl1y[S] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

I agree that it's not men vs. women, and men do have the same legal right to vote.

However, when we do not show up to vote, we don't get leaders who care about representing our interests.

Also, the reasons for men voting less are a men's rights issue, such as more men being disenfranchised because they've been convicted of a felony, and more men being required to work on voting days.

[–]HornyHydra-4 points 12 years ago [recovered] (6 children) | Copy Link

I see your point there bl1y, but I do think that this would be a separate issue. The title of your post suggests an infringement of male rights with regard to voting itself, while the explanation in your reply suggests that issue you wish to bring to the spotlight is related to the convictions for men and women as well as working environments/accommodations for males and females.

However, when we do not show up to vote, we don't get leaders who care about representing our interests.

The issue of voting and misrepresented interests could be the result of these concerns. Again, I'm not trying to be a dick here, but I do think that the title is somewhat misleading for the topics you wish to discuss.

[–]bl1y[S] 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

I think there's a whole myriad of topics tied up in this, ranging from the reasons why men vote less to the myth that men control political power in the US.

I used that title because it's a direct quote from the intro to the study.

[–]Hamakua 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Ignore HornyHydra, I don't know who he or she is, but they aren't an "MRA" at least not by "MRA" standards.

You would enjoy (I think) this old post I did over a year ago. After I get worn out, the (after Kloo) "main moderator" of /r/mensrights (this was before they had to mask all their identities because of harassment) jumped in and helped.

The 19th amendment that gave women the right to vote, 90 years on

OP (of the thread I challenge) was /u/Lisa_Simpson (now deleted) and further down the exchange you see Iggy /u/ignatiusloyola MR's main moderator after Kloo (who at the time retired) help me out after I went to bed for the night.

HornyHydra is either a troll or someone so inexperienced he doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about without the sense to shut up.

Because the motivations and incentives of elected representatives don't affect rights?

[–]kevinwayne 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

STFU and stop telling us what to talk about and we'll not tell you what to talk about. How's that work for ya?

It's always funny when a feminist runs into a thread that exposes a feminist lie and screams:

THIS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MEN RIGHTS!
