| 4 | Should false rape accusers be sued?FBI reports from 1996 consistently put the number of "unfounded" rape accusations around 8%. In contrast, the average rate of unfounded reports for "Index crimes" tracked by the FBI is 2%.[14] However, "unfounded" is not synonymous with false allegation. Bruce Gross of the Forensic Examiner says that: This statistic is almost meaningless, as many of the jurisdictions from which the FBI collects data on crime use different definitions of, or criteria for, "unfounded." That is, a report of rape mi… | /r/MensRights | 14/01/14 04:46 AM |
| 1 | A helpful guide for parentsas a little mexican girl once said,"can't it be both?" personally, I think it's both, but I'm glad you mentioned that aspect of it. There are people with genders other than male or female (I'm one of them lol), so only giving two options is indeed cissexist, as you said. I still think the whole argument plays off the premise of genders being based on genitals. It cleverly subvert our expectations, which is why it's funny, but I don't think that (even with your suggestion) it subverts the premise… | /r/MensRights | 14/01/14 03:10 AM |
| 1 | A helpful guide for parentsI wasn't trying to make it a big deal when I said it was cissexist, as I like the overall message, but the message would not work if it didn't rely on the argument that men are men because they have penises and women are women because of their vaginas. The whole joke wouldn't make sense without that implicit argument, therefore it is cissexist. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/14 01:06 PM |
| 1 | A helpful guide for parentsI agree, sometimes you've just got to say fuck it and acknowledge the shortcomings in what you're trying to say so that you can say it at all. But that it is so often trans-related things that get sacrificed is indicative that people aren't even trying/aren't aware to even try. Trans people have historically been thrown under the bus so that other groups (gays, women) can win their rights. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/14 12:55 PM |
| 1 | A helpful guide for parentsAs a formerly white, straight and male person (well, I'm still white), I get that. It's complicated. You aren't the enemy, but the groups (you didn't choose to be a part of) can be antagonistic to oppressed groups via obstruction, inaction, maintaining the status quo, etc. It's a shortcut generalization to call the groups you belong to as the enemy, but it's not about anyone in particular (unless they're causing an obstruction to equal rights). The enemy is more about the set of net privileges t… | /r/MensRights | 13/01/14 07:15 AM |
| 1 | A helpful guide for parentsha! I didn't realize I was responding to you. I really agree with every word you posted there, and disagree with your comments on the other comment thread. Ah people and their opinions are complex. In person, I wonder if we would get along or loathe each other. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/14 05:45 AM |
| 3 | A helpful guide for parentsI appreciate the seemingly rare instances of logic in this subreddit. Fuck gender norms. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/14 05:31 AM |
| 2 | A helpful guide for parentsI make a valid criticism and that means I'm looking to be be offended? But what about you, getting all upset that I dare mention that a post with laudable goals has a single flaw? Are you looking to be offended by my comment? You couldn't just appreciate the image for it's intention and also recognize it's problems? Shit is complicated; it's never going to be perfect, but that doesn't mean that efforts to fix errors shouldn't be undertaken. You (general "you") can't be for gender equality and co… | /r/MensRights | 13/01/14 04:59 AM |
| 2 | A helpful guide for parentsI literally just said that this post was awesome, minus the one issue that gender is not linked to genitals (see my reply to Vahnya). I just think the important goal that is the destruction of gender roles should not depend on enforcing gender as synonymous to sex. I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to challenge and be challenged. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/14 04:44 AM |
| 1 | A helpful guide for parentsBasically, it implies that maleness can be reduced to penises and femaleness can be reduced to vaginas. According to its logic, a toy is only non-gendered if it isn't used on one's genitals. But to say that is to say that gender is decided by one's genitals, which is cissexist. Technically though, it's cissexist, not transphobic, but those are closely related terms. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/14 04:31 AM |
| -3 | A helpful guide for parentsThis is awesome, minus the cissexism(transphobia). | /r/MensRights | 13/01/14 01:42 AM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?Wow. Such substantial. Very argument. wow. | /r/MensRights | 12/01/14 06:03 AM |
| 1 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?I really wanted to have some hope that this movement might achieve something positive for men without trying to undermine women. I did approach you all with an idea about the movement; this was an invitation to dispel it or reinforce it. The majority of you chose the latter, though I'm glad not all of you are completely delusional. | /r/MensRights | 12/01/14 05:33 AM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?If your movement doesn't acknowledge the complexities of intersectionality, it can't progress to achieve legitimacy. White women make more than men of colour, and white men make more than everyone. You can't separate gender from race or anything else, as people have more than one identity. What works for white men won't always work for black men. Given that the MRM likes to discuss sentencing disparities in men vs women without recognizing that it is mostly black men who are given harshest sente… | /r/MensRights | 12/01/14 05:26 AM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?I am going to assume you're one of the extremists. Thanks for providing your opinion. | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 05:43 PM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?Oh reading this subreddit certainly did remind me of those news comments. Overall though, I see more negativity coming from here than from the feminist movements (with the exception of radfems...I loathe them). | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 05:32 PM |
| 1 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?That's a very good question. Gender could be a biological phenomenon that manifests in the body, but rather, in the brain instead of the genitals. There is research that shows that trans people's brain have characteristics of the other sex. So maybe I have an intersex brain or something, so I am on the spectrum rather than on a pole. I won't pretend to know the answer, all I know is my experience that having a male body made me depressed and that having one in between felt better. There are thin… | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 05:29 PM |
| 1 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?Well duh, equal wages should be for equal work; saying the majority of feminists argue anything else would be dishonest (not to say that some don't). | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 05:19 PM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?The 77% that everyone keeps talking about here is only relevant to show that women don't get the same high paying opportunities (fortune 500 company CEO, for ex). In practice, addressing the wage gap would be implemented company by company, and they aren't going to overcorrect; they're simply going to equalize pay for people in the same positions with the same skills. I agree in theory about the sentencing disparity and your way of getting there. In theory because I haven't done my own research.… | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 05:15 PM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?The main questions are: are there extremists and woman-haters in your ranks, y/n? Are they a big part of the movement, or on the fringes? | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 05:00 PM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?There are false stats everywhere. Feminists are against false rape accusations (as they aren't fair to men and they discredit real rape victims). maybe they're resting on their laurels, but they've still challenged gender roles far more than men have and have corrected many wrongs experienced by women. | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 04:57 PM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?I was trying to cancel out any confirmation bias I have by straight up asking you if you guys are interested in correcting statistically significant men's issues or in trying to discredit rape victims and hating women. It's a spectrum, sure, but I wanted to know if I got the wrong idea, but no one is really answering that question. | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 04:52 PM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?The point is that that wasn't the question that was asked of him. But to assume that the FBI lowers stats out of some feminist conspiracy and that more than or ananywhere near alf of accusations are false is downright dishonest | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 04:45 PM |
| 0 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?I think for sure that men and boys' struggles are less focused on than women's and girls', and there is a sting, I've felt it, but that's an emotional response, not based on stats. Everyone gets a shitty hand, but since women and girls' have their issues talked about (due to established feminist movement and it being okay to talk about their feelings), men feel more alienated. but of course, motivations to join the MRM is more complicated than that. | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 07:42 AM |
| -2 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?The sidebar doesn't represent most of what I have seen, hence my asking about this. I'm not at the start of a journey though; I've experienced malehood and femalehood and in my opinion, MRAs are overplaying their hand. Men have it shitty too, but it's not what MRAs say it is. But that's not the point of my post; I was just trying to get an insider perspective of what you all think this movement is. | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 07:12 AM |
| -2 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?You're derailing. I'm asking an honest question and trying to understand the real sentiment of the movement. Just because you might not agree doesn't mean I'm a troll. | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 06:52 AM |
| -8 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?You kind of proved my point that MRAs are more interested in challenging these stats, ignoring real rape victims, than challenging gender roles and improving other more unambiguous examples of some of the shitty hands men have. | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 06:49 AM |
| -4 | [Serious Question] Is this movement polluted with misogyny, or are the extremists just sticking out?The real world is complicated. Even same field wage gap analysis, which is overall better than a more general analysis, leaves out the fact that women rarely (though increasingly) make it past the glass ceiling, which contributes to a wage gap on a more general level. That politicians statement is misleading, but more so because of how he framed it. And my point was not that the wage gap discussion is misogynistic, but that that is the focus rather than correcting some of the shit that men face.… | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 06:34 AM |
| 2 | Men – if you're not a feminist, it's fine, just move onHaving lived in the Western world as a man and a woman, I can tell you that neither is easy, but women have it much harder. Every body gets a shitty hand, but men's issues seem (to me) as easier to resolve, but it's going to take cooperation from men to stop policing themselves about their gender roles and being dishonest about what feminism really is. But that's ignoring the intersections of race (I'm white), economic privilege, etc... | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 01:57 AM |
| 1 | Men – if you're not a feminist, it's fine, just move onI am sure what was counted as cosmetic would exclude procedures that are medically necessary (such as repairing burnt tissues or laser eye surgery). You are likely right that it would follow similar definitions that insurance companies use, however I think that's for the better, as it doesn't reflect procedures being done for the main reason of trying to look better. So, hair restorations would, or should, be included as cosmetic, but what you call "traditional" would and should not. And circumc… | /r/MensRights | 11/01/14 01:52 AM |
| 2 | Israeli Army stops soldier reading poetry on radio as it's 'not manly' and would 'ruin the image of the combat soldier'In my experience, it's mostly old men who perpetuate the idea that men are uncultured. They pressure the younger ones into feeling like they need to do physical labourb(including sports) rather than cultured things like art and poetry, because they aren't comfortable with their masculinity. | /r/MensRights | 10/01/14 11:35 PM |
| 1 | Men – if you're not a feminist, it's fine, just move onThe point of the cosmetic surgery statistic is about surgeries people think they need due to societal pressure and that are pursued consensually. Most circumcision are non-consensual and not due to societal pressure experienced by boys, so you can't include that in the statistics. | /r/MensRights | 10/01/14 11:24 PM |
