Claiming that women are privileged in getting help with college:
https://archive.ph/PFgj7
“basically
when more men then women in uni: discrimination
when more women then men in uni: equality
even though like, there are tons of programs for women only but none for men. if that isn't discrimination then idk what is. to me it just sounds like an overcompensation for something that really never existed in the first place.”
Oh, the horrors the straight white male faces!:
“As a college student, every internship looks for Non-whites, non-men, and LGBT. The only luck I have for any is when they look for people that had immigrant parents, but that's rare. And by every, I mean EVERY...”
“I had the same issue. So many of the internships I was looking at said that they were to go to POC/minority/etc. Its so annoying being told that im ‘privileged’ or whatever but these internships will basically say ‘no white males’.”
Notice how comments like these act like women enjoy many privileges in society despite actually being for example most victims of sexual assault:
“Sooner or later, people will have to realize that Sweden is not the bastion of gender equality it pretends to be. Just like the rest of feminism, it thrives on misandry and presents discrimination against men as equality. This is why I hate when people like Jordan Peterson use Sweden as a social example of a "gender egalitarian" environment, because it isn't. It is still riddled with social prejudices against men and entitlements/double-standards for women.”
Once again more feminism bashing:
“Feminism has never been about equality, but superiority”
Oh the hardships of being a straight white male!:
“I’m gonna start a new education soon and I was extremely worried I wouldn’t come in because I’m a white, heterosexual male. The tests were demanding and I pretty much aced them all, but it was a lot of talk about that they needed to choose candidates based on diversity. Long gone are the days where you choose candidates based solely on their skills & experiences.”
So basically mensrights is:
Male goes to college: Congrats!
Female goes to college: The only reason you got accepted is because you’re privileged!
Mensrights literally views women as being intellectually inferior. Yikes.

When you are accustomed to privilege.. equality can seem like discrimination..
That's a classic line feminists love to spout out..
But funny that they can't even acknowledge that despite the MAJORITY of students at university being women.. they still also have the majority of scholarships..
In fact.. no one bats an eye when a scholarship says "Women only" but as soon as someone setups up a male only scholarship.. then that's Sexism and discrimination!!!!
As an aside.. it's not MEN forcing women into getting Gender Studies degrees which are not worth the paper they are written on..
Maybe get a degree in Biology if your looking for a degree which will actually earn you money..

Oh yeah people are quick to pipe up when gender quotas favour men: https://www.thelocal.se/20100112/24330/
For the record I think 'quotas' of any kind (gender/class/race etc.) don't work, so I'm glad they're reversing these. However it does show how most people only want quotas when it helps them.
[–]funkynotorious 5 points6 points7 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Indian here we have quotas for as long as our country got independent. So like for more than 74 years and the situation hasn't improved at all. Instead our top talent migrates to other countries and the income inequality in the protected class is at all time high.
[–]FinallyReborn 15 points16 points17 points (1 child) | Copy Link
The quote is "when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression", and it's ironic that they keep spouting that out, as it originated within the MRA community.
https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/10/24/privilege/
The phrase has been first traced back to an MRA named Mike Jebbett on Usenet in 1997. And he used it to refer to women being the privileged sex, and people ignoring the systemic inequalities that men face.
In the original post, his next line stated the following:
Meaning, he originally used the term as a retort to feminists.

Women ARE privileged when it comes to college. I was looking at a coding bootcamp recently, the price? £7,200, unless you’re a woman, where it’s free under a “women in tech” initiative, and also guarantees a placement if you pass the course (no such guarantee for men).
Please explain to me how this is not privilege.
[–]DerpDerper909 22 points23 points24 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah I was seeing the same thing. It’s sucks.
[–]aigars2 19 points20 points21 points (0 children) | Copy Link

That guy has an obssesion with hating on this sub. only ogs know he has that because he got banned and started making ridiculous claim and trying to put mra under a bad light just cus he got banned.. and also if you couldn't tell he's a furry so it explains his dumbness
[–]Jakeybaby125 19 points20 points21 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Was he the same guy who, a couple of months back, started commenting on this sub, attacking it and started the AMR sub?
[–]bulletkiller06 1 point2 points3 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Hey hey, I'm all for pointing out the inequality of feminism, but don't drag furrys down to their level.
[–]throwawaybear61 28 points29 points30 points (0 children) | Copy Link
You have to understand that to these people lying to get their way or to propagate their hate is justified. It’s ok to lie and cheat and attack innocent people “because patriarchy”. Such a boring, dangerously stupid broken record...

How can we not stand it?
When have we spoken against this. What BS
[–]JayVJtheVValour 2 points3 points4 points (0 children) | Copy Link
They’re delusional, my friend.
[–]DavidByron2 45 points46 points47 points (7 children) | Copy Link
My guess is they're trying to compensate for the fact that the feminist movement will never fully accept them as a woman because they are trans. Ironically it's the same pattern you see with a lot of male feminists. They feel they have to go over the top aggressively attacking men to somehow prove their worthiness to the "insider" female feminists, which of course, they can never really do, because they are tainted with maleness.
That poster manically posts attack posts there where nobody can post a response. They came over here and lasted less than 24 hours once.
It's like a crying baby. You can't use reason to make it stop.
[–][deleted] 17 points18 points19 points (4 children) | Copy Link
Not to mention that the user went to askfeminist to help debunk an argument and the mods rightfully put the person in their place.
It’s so painful honestly. That entire sub in fact.
[–]Jakeybaby125 6 points7 points8 points (3 children) | Copy Link
OMFG that's hilarious. You know you've done something wrong within the sisterhood when even Askfeminists wants nothing to do with you
[–]duhhhh 4 points5 points6 points (1 child) | Copy Link
He started a thread to educate us on all our misconceptions of feminism three weeks ago. His post there was to get help debunking our schooling of him about feminism...
https://old.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/nx39uw/why_mens_rights_activists_should_embrace/h1d9k5v/
To two of my responses he replied ...
I guess my claims didn't get debunked. Actually I didn't see his thread here designed to show us all as misogynists didn't appear on AHS at all. Guess it revealed too much information he didn't want seen. His post and MRA responses is here ..

[–]Jakeybaby125 2 points3 points4 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Damn! He got torn to shreds in that thread. I unfortunately didn't get to comment on that thread because I didn't see it because I would've just gone in on him
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points (0 children) | Copy Link
It's insane. It's like an obsession. Look at his entire post history. It's just full of MRA on AHS.
[–]ThisIsTheEnd6 2 points3 points4 points (1 child) | Copy Link
To be fair, they are attacking mens rights activists. Not men. Just like attacking feminism doesn't equate to attacking women.
[–]DavidByron2 3 points4 points5 points (0 children) | Copy Link
You see that difference; do they?
[–]Cormandragon 17 points18 points19 points (1 child) | Copy Link
And then people wonder why men don't talk about their issues.

In India we have a massive male sucide rate , and no one cares . I've known atleast 3 people who have committed sucide in my social circle, all are men
1 relative because his mom refused to give him his rightful share of his ancestral inheritance, (no will)she promised everything to her daughter's family who went into financial crisis. The guy was barely earning enough to feed himself. He killed himself because even his own mother stabbed him in the back.
1 friend in college, after failing the final exam, he already took a loan from friends/teachers to pay the feeds , now he failed. He allegedly took his life by jumping of a moving train while going back to his home. The college stand is that he accidentally fell off a train but people who know him know better.
One guy in 9th grade ate rat poison, don't know what happened but he was the loser of the class who always got bullied
I don't have a active social life but these are people who I used to see everyday , even then the deaths are impossible to miss .
Hell just look at the stats , India ranks 6th in sucide rates , 3x more than women sucide rates and there isn't even a whisper about male support groups or anything related to make mental health

Ha, got banned for commenting "Imagine being salty that other people don't like being judged or denied things based on their skin or genitals."
[–]Zpointe 11 points12 points13 points (0 children) | Copy Link
They are full of hate
[–]BornAgainSpecial 5 points6 points7 points (0 children) | Copy Link
I think people like that are counterproductive for their movement. That person has nothing to say and is just holding up a solid example of discrimination against men. Nobody who sees that is going to notice anything else about it.
[–]Atilla942 10 points11 points12 points (2 children) | Copy Link
Of course its that same pedo perv u/furryhare375 who seems to be obsessed with this sub.
[–]BlueberryGuyCz 3 points4 points5 points (1 child) | Copy Link
he seriously makes a post every single day about new "problem" on some shit hate subreddit lmao
Boring life i guess
Also, looking at his comments, he argues constantly till someone shows him evidence then ghost the person and doesnt elaborate further
[–]Atilla942 2 points3 points4 points (0 children) | Copy Link
He sounds like a fucking moron.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points (0 children) | Copy Link
This gives me a lot of cringe. Holy hell imagine making fun of how people being frustrared they arent able to get the education they wish for. Those are freakin genuine points and most importantly valid. and this person just laughed at it
