| 8 | Look at the fantastic doodle that is in use by google on International Mens Day as oppose to International Womans Daythe 89% female perpetrators are in the context of juvenile facilities for example. I would guess that the high number is largely because the staff there is more likely to be female. No. Less than half the staff are female yet they make up 90% of the perpetrators. Nine in 10 of those who reported being victimized were males reporting incidents with female staff. Women, meanwhile, typically make up less than half of a juvenile facility’s staff. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2014/09/woodland-… | /r/MensRights | 19/11/20 05:25 PM |
| 2 | Is it just me that thinks this applies more to men than it does women? When was the last time a woman accused someone of rape and harassed and violently attacked for it?Do you have a link to the transcript for the case? | /r/MensRights | 07/02/19 05:07 PM |

Your link cites another source: http://http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/rsarp00.pd Which is a broken link. So, you actually have no source at all.

| 70 | [Last update] I saved 15% or more on car insurance by switching my gender!This is definitely worth it in terms of the savings. However, it might have some other negative effects. Does it also change the gender on your passport? I assume they don't allow you to have different genders on your driver's licence versus passport. So, if your passport says you're female, and you're obviously a guy, then that will cause problems with you if you go to any country that isn't stupid enough to allow someone to self-declare their own gender with zero proof whatsoever. | /r/MensRights | 29/04/18 05:38 PM |
| 12 | 71% of UK adults mistakenly think the gender pay gap is “the difference in pay between men and women doing the same job” | Roll up your sleeves, boys - we have our work cut out.No, that just means you are one of the many ignorant people who believe a lie. The gender pay gap refers to the fact that women as a group earn less than men as a group. But, that is because women work less hours, choose easier but lower paying jobs, are more likely to quit work to raise kids, etc. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/18 04:58 PM |
| 3 | Woman, 18, accused of raping man at knifepoint gets probation.She didn't get probation. She already spent over 300 days in jail. Borrello also ordered 313 days in jail with credit for 313 days served. Smith will spend the next year on GPS tether. Granted, less than a year in jail is a light sentence for raping someone at knife point. But it's better than probation. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 03:14 AM |
| 1 | Being dragged back into court as my son's mother once again uses him as a weapon to try to punish me. Now she wants custody completely taken away from me.Imagine a society where men are asked what they'd prefer and then we respected their decision - so called "deadbeat dads" would cease to exist and all fathers would be like the OP. Nope, there would still be deadbeat dads. Men who agreed to have kids and then later changed their mind and bailed. There would just be just far less of them - and what was left would actually be deadbeat dads, as opposed to now when it's men who were forced to pay for kids they never wanted. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 03:06 AM |

You said "It was literally the same link you just editorialized your title.". In fact, it was not even from the same website / media organization, and thus in no way "literally the same link". | /r/MensRights | 18/03/18 02:36 AM |

But most of the users are in Western Anglo countries, which is why that's what we are talking about. And which is why it is dishonest for you to talk about African countries etc. Interesting article. That study also says boys are more likely to be hostile towards school and likely to do fewer hours of homework. Ok, so? That's irrelevant. You said: You think they're getting favorable marks?

And the amount of people that graduate from college isn't about equality. You think they're getting favorable marks? Come on. Both are wrong - it is about equality, and they are getting favorable marks. http://www.bbc.com/news/education-31751672 An OECD report on gender in education, across more than 60 countries, found that girls receive higher marks compared with boys of… | /r/MensRights | 11/03/18 05:12 PM |
| 11 | Don't worry boys, we ain't ever getting a video of women living a day without inventions made by men.America isn't the entire western hemisphere. So what are you talking about then? Canada? Canadian women got the right to vote in 1918 (although Asians and First Nations, men and women, couldn't vote). http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/suffrage/ Besides, 1920 is still pretty fucking late so my point still stands. It's hairsplitting. LOL...1960 versus 1920 is "hairsplitting"? | /r/MensRights | 11/03/18 12:21 AM |

Yes, and I just explained why. Suppose he's lying and a woman didn't tell him her son was afraid, but we wrongly believed him. So what? On the other hand, suppose you accuse someone of assault or rape and you're lying, but you were wrongly believed. Well, that's quite a different story, as you can see. E.g. ▲Two teenage girls lied to a 19-year-old man that another 19-year-old,… | /r/MensRights | 03/02/18 03:16 AM |
| 5 | The boys damaged by feminism: feedback from the public, reported by UK MRA Martin DaubneyWell he's obviously making shit up to push an agenda about how feminism is bad. No, it's not obvious at all. You may think so, but it's clear from your comments that you are biased and stupid. Here, a member of the MRA assaulted me. So MRA's have hurt me. You gonna believe me? I literally just explained why we shouldn't believe such claims unquestioningly. Accusations like that are a serious matter and need to be investigated. | /r/MensRights | 03/02/18 03:07 AM |

Sure, if you said that you saw a UFO appear and aliens came out to greet you, we'd need some proof. But if you said that you saw someone trip and drop his sandwich while walking down the street, why exactly would we require proof? Even if you're lying, it wouldn't even matter. On the other hand, if you said that someone raped you, then that requires proof. Because if we believe that unquestioningly, then th… | /r/MensRights | 03/02/18 02:26 AM |
| 5 | The boys damaged by feminism: feedback from the public, reported by UK MRA Martin DaubneyWeird how whenever something about a woman getting raped pops up, you all question it what happened to her and think she is lying. but when it's a dude just saying hes heard stories, you all nod in agreement. How is that weird? If a woman - or man - says they were raped, you better believe that they need to be questioned and investigated. You can't just arrest someone as a rapist without proof (well it happens all the time actually, but it's wrong when it does). On the other hand, if someone say… | /r/MensRights | 03/02/18 02:21 AM |

They just outright lied and made shit up, as I proved at the time it was written. For the Occidental College thing, it started on 4chan where people posted it there and said they were going to spam it with false reports. Then it got posted here, and some people also said they were going to make false reports and make up names like "Fatty McFat", or report the dean of the university.

If a vegan diet was so good at lowering blood pressure, why is the DASH diet suggested instead of a vegan diet? Because it has calcium, one of the many nutrients that vegan diets are missing. Where do vegans get their B12? From a lab... because vegan diets can't sustain human life. You're not just a fool, but dishonest. First you claim that vegan food leads to high blood pressure, then after it's proven that vegans have lower blood pressure, you claim "studies are bull… | /r/MensRights | 20/01/18 09:44 PM |
| 2 | Affirmative actionHow is it a legitimate concern? American women benefit from AA, regardless of race. However, blacks and hispanics (including men) benefit more than whites from AA. Despite the OP's misleading claims that "white women benefit most from AA". Please explain how that is a "legitimate concern"? | /r/MensRights | 20/01/18 06:05 PM |

You are completely ignorant and just making shit up.

| -1 | Affirmative actionThat's because the OP appears to be stupid and doesn't understand what he's even saying. If women as a whole (regardless of race) benefited from AA, and most American women are white, then obviously more white women would have benefited from AA than non-white women. That is just an obvious point. It's like saying white men benefit more from Social Security than black men, on the grounds that there are more white men receiving SS - no shit, since there are more white American men than black Ameri… | /r/MensRights | 20/01/18 06:56 AM |
| 1 | Affirmative actionYes, and? You don't seem to realize that your link doesn't actually prove that white women benefit more from AA than blacks or hispanics. Again, no one cares whether more white women benefited than non-whites. The answer is obvious - since there are more white people in America than non-white, there will be more whites who benefit than non-whites. The only question is, who gets more benefit from AA, an individual white woman or a black/hispanic? And the answer is obvious. E.g. http://www.newswee… | /r/MensRights | 20/01/18 02:50 AM |
| -2 | Affirmative actionNo. People just lie and claim that affirmative action benefits white women the most. In fact, blacks and hispanics get the most benefit under AA. Your article does not link a single fact or piece of evidence to show that white women benefit the most. Rather, it just uses dishonest arguments by saying that the majority of beneficiaries of AA were white women. No shit, because there are far more white people than blacks or hispanics in America. But that's irrelevant, because we only care about ind… | /r/MensRights | 20/01/18 02:05 AM |

A man who was physically forced into vaginal sex etc. was not counted as a rape victim - instead, they classified him as a victim of "made to penetrate". As you can see on Table 2.2 on page 19, 1.1% of men reported being "made to penetrate" in the last 12 months.

"Coded as false" can in theory mean a few things, and in practice can mean an even wider range of things. So then you did not even read the source. And by source, I mean the actual study linked.

No, it's not. You didn't even read the source. 5-8% is the ones that are determined quite sure to be false. Which does not include the large percentage of claims that are unknown whether true or false. Which means, the 5-8% is the lower bound.

| 2 | Lawyer Nick Freeman calls for public register to name people who make false rape allegationsThe Victoria study found two percent of rapes reported to police were regarded as provably false to the level where they were either prosecuted or they threatened prosecution if the allegation was not withdrawn. That is consistent with the UK CPS and another major study which found 1.5% and 1.3% provably or proved false. No, it is more like 5-8%, not 2%.

Husband works full-time, wife is/was the stay-at-home parent of a 6 year old. The wife doesn't want more kids, and doesn't want to work. The husband wants the wife to get a job, which is reasonable. But, would anyone claim that the wife is not responsible enough to deserve custody on the grounds that she doesn't have a job? Definitely not, because that would be a self-evidently ridiculous claim.

"I don't think the OP is being unreasonable for wanting her husband to work. Just as a husband is not unreasonable for wanting his wife to work (if their kid was now in school)."

Number five: Many feminists don't like the idea.That's the control they've lost - not the power to not get pregnant, but the power to get pregnant whenever they like. Yes. And there are indeed women - not the majority, but a decent amount - who are unhappy about that. We know that as a fact, given that we can see studies that show women actively trying to get pregnant without the consent of the man. | /r/MensRights | 24/06/15 12:56 AM |

The RAINN page you linked to says nothing about women committing rape. It simply says that 10% of rape victims are male (which is in fact false, since it is much higher than that). So if the OP wants some sources to prove that women commit a large percentage of rape, he will want some other studies - such as the one I linked to. | /r/MensRights | 26/03/14 03:41 AM |

If male rape victims are only 5 or 10%, then we need not focus much resources on them. And if women are only 2% of rapists, we need not focus much resources on them. However, that is quite false. Which means we should target female rapists, and give ample resources to male rape victims. Her point was that men commit nearly all rapes, and women are the victims. By in large she is correct.

| 27 | In which P. Z. Myers attacks the MRM over the Occidental College Rape List: "The logic escapes me; people who claim that women make frequent false accusations of rape decide to inflate the statistics with false accusations of their own?"If he is telling the truth, and the logic truly escapes him, then he must be a complete idiot. I hope every one of those MRA pricks involved get their asses throw in jail. That was from the comments. Fucking LOL, where are these idiots calling for jail for actual false rape accusers?

| 1 | The first time feminists have ever been outraged about false rape claims....True, but my point still remains. Someone who is truthfully reported as a rapist can take revenge on their suspected reporter, whether it was reported to police or the form. So although there may be some minor differences like you said, we can't exactly blame the form for that. | /r/MensRights | 21/12/13 11:31 PM |

| 5 | The first time feminists have ever been outraged about false rape claims....That is a good point. If the form was purely for statistical purposes and you could not accuse people through it (who would then be ordered to the Dean's Office and warned as a rapist), I'd support the form. And I would condemn anyone who spammed it with fake reports for the hell of it etc. But that's not the case. Assuming the form is shut down (not sure about this) - then you're right, they can't do "that" anymore. And by "that", I mean harm people who are falsely accused by an anonymous form. | /r/MensRights | 21/12/13 06:39 AM |
| 4 | The first time feminists have ever been outraged about false rape claims....Well, I would support vigilante justice if it was never abused (i.e. it never resulted in the wrong person being harmed, and no one was ever harmed out of proportion to the crime they committed). So if hypothetically the form was never abused, I'd still say it was useless (since no rapists would be brought to justice as a result), but it would not be harmful. However, in reality, I oppose vigilante justice since the wrong person will get harmed. Likewise with this form. | /r/MensRights | 21/12/13 06:32 AM |

| 8 | The first time feminists have ever been outraged about false rape claims....Not really.

Because even if the form was working as intended, and no spamming had occurred, then any genuine claim of rape would have resulted in the rapist being called down to the Dean's Office and warned/interrogated.

OP said that she was not selling well and was under quota. So if we are looking from a point of benefiting the company (selling shoes and generating revenue) then she shouldn't have been promoted. But even if the boss was right, you could still make an argument that it is better to promote hardworking, loyal employees even if they don't draw as much customers as a hot girl - otherwise employee morale would suffer, hurting the … | /r/MensRights | 07/09/13 02:07 AM |

But in both cases, it can be serious enough that it can't be ignored - like when men get the cops called on them, or get discriminated against in the workplace due to pedo-fear.

| 21 | UPDATED: Men's rights posters pop up in Saskatoon (AVFM posters all over Saskatoon!)Most balanced article about men's rights I have ever seen in mainstream media. Actually pointed out the fact that the CDC study (and virtually every single news organization that discussed it) classified a woman physically forcing a man into sex as NOT rape. I did find it somewhat funny that a story about men's rights was not only written by a woman, but quoted two women and no men. No complaints though - I don't care who is saying something as long as what they say makes sense. | /r/MensRights | 19/07/13 03:19 AM |

Yet 40% of rapists in 2010 were women, according to the CDC study. We can then conclude that although not all male rapists are convicted (probably under 50%, depending on how many rapes are unreported) - literally exponentially more female rapists are unpunished by the lega… | /r/MensRights | 12/07/13 12:37 AM |

| 5 | Abortion right issue questionThis is why MRAs feel that male reproductive rights are an issue. Men and boys are forced to pay child support even if raped (according to legal precedent). If the woman deliberately got pregnant through deception, still must pay. If the couple agreed beforehand they didn't want kids, they still must pay if the woman changes her mind. If paternity testing later proves that it's not their kid, in some cases they still have been forced to pay. | /r/MensRights | 07/07/13 02:19 AM |
| 5 | Abortion right issue questionMaybe this is just due to personal experience, but I think anyone who abandons a pregnant woman is a terrible human being. Then you would be wrong. Suppose a man and woman agree they don't want kids. Then the woman stops taking birth control deliberately, and convinces him not to use a condom one night (it's safe, I'm on the pill).

In all states, safe haven laws are not gender neutral in reality, since a woman may easily abandon a child against the will of the father, and avoid paying child support. Men cannot do so. as safe haven gives the child support ??? No it doesn't...it puts the child in the care of the state. That is not "good" for a child. | /r/MensRights | 29/06/13 05:24 PM |

| 3 | Crucial Question about Men's Rights. Leave your opinion.It is about 60/40 given the current statistics, yes. Not all the women were raped by men either, though most were. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/12 08:36 AM |
| 3 | Crucial Question about Men's Rights. Leave your opinion.Huh? The above comment only contained facts. You seem to be confused about the report. 79.2% reported only female perpetrators, the others may have reported both male and female perpetrators (the report does not say).
