I would rather we discuss actual issues instead of circlejerking around shitty memes.
[–]AbsoIum 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been seeing an increase in this kind of content lately. I think it’s dangerous to support it because it puts us in the same league as feminists (generalizing) if we approach people the same way they do.
[–]YadaYadaYada2 -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
In the past six months your 'support' was a comment that lesbians look like men. Really?
More important, what issue affects you the most?
[–]AbsoIum 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Oh right the upvote and downvote buttons don’t mean anything anymore. Forgot. So you literally went to pick apart my history to discredit a valid point I have regarding the quality of content in a subreddit I subscribe to. Good on you. Did it accomplish what you set out to do? At the end of the day it’s still a valid point. This subreddit is an aggregate of real issues that I enjoy becoming informed about; a source of concentrated news of sorts. I would hate for it to become a circlejerk.
Real issues that affect me? Legal rights for me regarding my child is one major one since the beginning of the year. Regardless of the fact that we are splitting the burden 50/50 I’m still expected to pay the mother child support even though we both make the same income so there is no discrepancy in quality of life. The courts wouldn’t even recognize my rights as the father even though I signed the birth certificate and was there for the birth. Although the mother and I are amicable, the courts are clearly weighed towards supporting the mother regardless. All in all I’m out 5 grand to get a lawyer to help me navigate the courts in order to protect my rights as the father, mother didn’t have to do shit.
Another, I’m 30, decided to go back to university to complete my degree I didn’t finish back in my early 20s. The atmosphere on campuses is very uncomfortable and unwelcoming to men. I have to take this Ethics course and they literally are force feeding us Feminism while downplaying every other ethical philosophy. If I put my two cents in, I automatically become the village idiot in class.
And as most men here, I’ve experienced sexual harassment in the workplace.
Oh and a women who stalked me for 2 months back in May and the police wouldn’t take me seriously when I tried to exercise my rights because I was a man and she didn’t “pose a threat to me.”

Thank you for sharing. Know that you're not alone.
Of my dozen friends, eight filed for bankruptcy due to unfair divorce orders, and the other half, the wives do not allow them to see their child(ren). Some guys deserved what they got, most did not.
My brother was criminalized for speaking loudly to his wife. She FELT afraid, so BOOM...automatic two-year Order of Protection against him. This was used a few months later to 'temporarily' separate him from his child and home.
Not that a domestic violence charge, though he was found not guilty remains on your public record, so he was unable to secure a job offer for two year ($2k in attorney fees, 2 year wait, a few days off work for court dates to expunge record).
My brother is a regular guy with two graduate degrees from Northwestern University, does not drink alcohol or do drugs, but he was guilty of being a father.
Father's rights are not too popular here, just look at sub's Top: 'all time' or 'past month'.
Sorry if you're offended by the humor. If you see Father's Rights content please post
[–]AbsoIum 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It isn’t that I am offended by it, it’s more about the atmosphere seems to be changing in this sub lately. It was merely an observation and just an ideal.
Thank you for sharing as well. I’m sorry for all of us that have to live in a world where we get screwed so royally for existing as men.
[–]Siganid -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
I disagree. Humor is a very effective way to discuss actual issues. Perhaps you aren't aware of the massive fraudulent witch hunt going on right now, but it's an "actual issue."
[–]Floppuh 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
You are correct in that humour is a great way to bring attention to topics and start a discussion, but you can't have like, 50% of the sub dedicated to that
[–]Siganid -2 points-1 points0 points 6 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
Sure you can, and if you don't like it you can post better content.
[–]Floppuh 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
cuz thats an argument apparently
Im not arguing about whos posting the best content, Im arguing about what I think is the best content that could be posted
[–]Siganid -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I'm not arguing, I'm calling you a lazy idiot.
[–]Floppuh 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
The majority of ppl subbed to ANY subreddit dont post. Not posting doesnt make you lazy, posting and commenting makes you active. This isn't a "put your money where your mouth is" situation.
Besides, why?
[–]Siganid -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
A lurker that reads? Fine.
A lurker that posts an authoratative dictum as to what should be posted in the sub? Nope.
[–]Floppuh 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
"authoritative dictum"
ok seriously what the fuck are you talking about?
This is what I said
Apparently saying my opinion (which basically agrees with yours btw) makes my statement "authoritative". Well fuck you too for stating your opinion authoritarian scum, go post some more content and prove your worth /s
[–]Siganid -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
"You can't have..."
Followed by claimimg to be a lurker, is exactly what I said.
[–]YadaYadaYada2 -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
Your history indicates that you made two comments and zero content here, yet you've contributed to many other subs with great frequency.
All your reddit comments - which there are many - express and indicate no interest in men's issues. So I'm curious, what would you like to see here...specifically.
[–]beakye7 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Are you actually kidding me? Take a look at my comment history, not only have I repeatedly commented in other subs such as AskReddit and TumblrInAction about men's issues, but I've stood by being downvoted to shit after saying this sub wasn't radicalizing men and isn't the same as the red pill. If you're going to stalk me, do a better job of it.
Edit: Just saw that you did this to another commenter in this thread. What exactly are you trying to prove?
[–]oreov1 107 points108 points109 points 6 years ago (42 children) | Copy Link
Remember when this sub talked about men's rights issues instead of low-effort "durr let's shit on feminisism" posts?
[–][deleted] 20 points21 points22 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Then start. We could use a few leaders.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (31 children) | Copy Link
r/menslib is more for you.
[–]Sub_Corrector_Bot 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You may have meant r/menslib instead of R/menslib.
Remember, OP may have ninja-edited. I correct subreddit and user links with a capital R or U, which are usually unusable.

I'm okay with mocking the enemy with humor.
It helps ease the pain of injustice while I see the enemy continue to grow and get stronger.
[–]Jamies_redditAccount 13 points14 points15 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
We aren’t enemies, this is how we end up so divided.
[+]nevergirls1 points 6 years ago* [recovered] (2 children) | Copy Link
Thinking feminism is the enemy is now y’all get perceived as really small people
[–]Siganid 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I agree, which is why so many see feminists as really small people.
[–]Demonicpoodle -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

hahahaha
[–]Siganid -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (21 children) | Copy Link
Perhaps you mean: "The people brigading the forum with the specific intent of enforcing sexism by silencing men are actually allies, gosh how dumb are mra's to not realize that women are just better than men and therefore men don't need to speak?"
[+]Agent_Paste1 points 6 years ago* [recovered] (20 children) | Copy Link
No I don’t because that quote doesn’t make sense
[–]Siganid -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (19 children) | Copy Link
I wonder if your perspective goes any deeper than the standard "hurr durr femistizm iz bouts eeeeequalerdy, i kno cuz they lie a lot."
[–]Agent_Paste 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (18 children) | Copy Link
But that isn’t my perspective... All I did was laugh at the person pretending there’s some kind of war going on. Of course feminism isn’t about equality, it’s about women’s rights. Sadly, it’s too-often about women’s rights over men. Why assume I think differently?
[–]Siganid -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (17 children) | Copy Link
Because you laughed at someone for accurately pointing out that feminists have labeled themselves enemies of maleness, explicitly attacked men whenever possible, and aren't the least bit shy about claiming they are at war with men.
[–]Agent_Paste 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (16 children) | Copy Link
accurately pointing out that feminists have labelled themselves enemies of maleness
But they haven’t, that’s why I’m laughing. Yeah there’s a few extremists but we don’t label the MRM based on you, do we?
explicitly attacked men wherever possible
Not true, otherwise we’d all be dead
aren’t the least bit shy about claiming they’re at war with men
There is no war going on so stop pretending there is. This kind of mentality, whilst funny, is also useless and gets people nowhere. Women didn’t get to the point they’re at now by acting as toxic as you.
[–]kabooken 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nope
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I remember when this was a place guys could blow off steam about the ridiculousness of feminism, before we were invaded by tone policing, overton window shrinking, hand wringing "guys" like you.
[–]TerriChris[S] -2 points-1 points0 points 6 years ago* (4 children) | Copy Link
The list of issues are long, and few items are added and none removed.
I aim for growing interest in the cause outside this group. Getting to the front page using humor helps.
I've seen the movement NOT grow in the last dozen years, and this sub has had about the same number of 'users here now' for last six or seven years.
Everyone is free to search for interesting content to help create awareness and grow the cause: look, find, and post.
Edit: unless you're a Concern Troll, then just express your concern, and or down vote, then back to one of the other dozens women-are-victims-men-are-bad subs.
[–]oreov1 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I joined this sub a fair few months back because I felt like there were issues concerning men that needed to be discussed, like how if I'm emotional people think I'm weak, men who are abused aren't taken seriously, etc. But when I see dumb shit like this post, it adds credibility to people who say that ideas like this are anti-women. Because this post is, and it's stupid and has no place on a sub that's supposed to genuinely discuss and bring light to issues men face currently.
[–]YadaYadaYada2 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
Welcome. You're too new to understand the inside joke in the meme, the post is clearly labeled humor. But what issue has affected you or a friend?
[–]oreov1 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I can't say I have been personally affected by much, but I know men out there are, and don't get the help they need due to various reasons of culture, such as the standards set for men. But I clearly saw that is was labeled humor. It doesn't matter if it's a joke. It's a bad joke. It's a stupid joke that contributes nothing and makes us look bad.
[–]YadaYadaYada2 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Thanks for the sympathy and the marketing advise.
I would like to see you look around for better content that could help men out there, and post it. And do this frequently.
[–]LifeaIsJustOk -5 points-4 points-3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Its hard to keep it positive and constructive when theres so much shit going on now. But agree, it could be better.
[–]Orionish 22 points23 points24 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Clearly OP is lying... there would be no trial.
[–]lnstantKarma 7 points8 points9 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
The feminists are out to get me!
Or they're just regular people who want to end sexism against men and women in society.
[–]hauntedskin 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Depends which "feminists" you're talking about. The largely ineffectual "in name only" feminists, or the ones either outright ignoring men's issues or helping to write and influence laws that negatively effect men, like NOW being against shared parenting, the Duluth Model, etc.
[–]Siganid 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No, anyone that wanted to end sexism left feminism a very long time ago.
[–]Demonicpoodle 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You didn’t get her consent to acknowledgement her existence, so of course you’re going to be charged /s

[+]memeirlguy121 points 6 years ago* [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link
It's not what you said, it's the way you said it. It was clearly sexual harassment.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I added the /s when I first commented and still got brigaded. I think it’s the feminists. They’re triggered.
[–]Siganid 3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yep. The sexists are here to enforce female privilege. Men cannot be allowed to speak! It must be stopped.
