+1 yMen's rights, women's rights; the prosperous and opulent west could do well with talking more about obligations than whining about rights tied to imagined injustices in every corner. People who know to take responsibility lead far more healthy and successful lives than those who come undone as soon as their every whim isn't attended to. If western people want to complain about rights, they can first look at modern slavery in Libya and Mauritania, mutilation of female genitalia in Islamic Africa, persecution and hanging of Christians and homosexuals in Iran and abduction and torture by the government in North Korea and China. Or the infamous prison sentences doled out in Cuba for being unemployed, which of course later looks like zero unemployment on paper. or the people subjected to the Caste systems of India and central Asia where the lowest are lower than filth and are treated with disgust and isolation in the unforgiving wilderness with less than nothing to live.
Then we'll see, when they comprehend the reality of all this, if their environments are so tyrannical as they throw tantrums about like children.00 Reply

+1 yYou mean mra? They only complain about feminists, dont offer solutions, fight against women's rights instead of fighting for men's rights etc. For example i have seen mras who want to ban abortion, birthcontrol/contraceptives and their reasons for it is that men that dont have many birthcontrol methods...
I also see old disgusting mras that were kinda mad that young women or even minors did not want them.. In short they want hot young traditional female slaves-if you are too old and have kids, even if you are traditional- you are leftover for them
I dont understand some men in the commentsection who shame on women and take the credits from male scientists or men who do great job for the society. Wtf do you do for the society? Just because people your gender do great job, your lazy ass ain't automatically good. So your gender is better because people , who has penis like you, do great job? So pathetic
The reason why there are few good female scientists is because women get their rights few decades ago while men have it better since the beginning of the human history. I also can't take western men's luxus problems serious. Women still get opressed in asia/africa. We should take these opressed women, and send these western men to these shithole countries and make them have the same problems as these opressed women so they get a reason to complain.
I am not denying that men dont have problems but for me it is like a joke if you compare it to women in third world countries. Like wtf. Incels have it better than me even though i live in Europe but have middleeastern family. I know middleeastern women committing suicide. I am done.30 Reply
+1 yI'm a left wing feminist and I agree with many of the base arguments that come from the mens rights movement: unfair courts pertaining to child custody, divorce law (in a modern 2 working household), biased education not acknowledging need for physical activity, disproportionate homelessness, circumcision as a choice etc,
I do disagree however, with the lack of leadership by men for men, in institutions that are predominantly run by men. In 1922 there were less than 1% of women ever practicing law. Now, it's 50/50 for recent grads/public defenders, yet mid career judges (who make case decisions) are still 75% male. When we look at private business, it'd still skewed 66% men and when you look past entry level into executive leadership it's about 20% women and 80% men.
When we look at these numbers, instead of leading an attack on women for being the problematic (25% of which arguably are) men really need to be targeting and dismantling ancient majority systems (the 75%) designed by men (working against modern men and women) ideally for the betterment of both genders.
I believe the argument is there, I would like to redirect the frustration from ' modern women allowed to uphold these horrible norms' and acknowledging the history of men that institutioned the norms.05 Reply

These 'unfair' systems of hiring women for the last 50 years exist because for 100s of years all women were banned from public jobs with exception to nurse, nanny, teacher, secretary on sheer assumption alone. How can women prove they are the best, if the entire industry is waiting for someone else to take the chance first? How can men prove they are better parents if the courts are always waiting for another judge to pick the male parent first? But it's more men than women who are the judges of these things aren't they? Explain that with your meritocracy.

+1 yFeminism would of never of succeeded if it wasn’t for sympathetic men. This is something feminists keep conveniently forgetting. Men created technology, governments, effective birth control and legal systems that have enabled feminism. We GAVE them a platform to complain on. But we held the keys the entire time.
But most women do NOT have the same mental capacity as men. They have served a vital role in all of human history. There is a old saying that “behind every great man there is a great woman”. They have enabled some of the greatest leaders, politicians, military commanders, etc our world has ever seen. However for every Joan of Arc there are at least 100 Alexander the Greats. That isn’t sexist it’s reality.
But getting back to our current society. We are starting to the radical side effects of what feminism has done to both men and women. Young women embrace this all they can. But as they get older and remain childless and unmarried (by their choice) it usually dawns on them about what makes them happy vs what doesn’t. Also the ones that have sons are observing their young boys being treated like shit in western society.
If we are going to undo the damage radical feminism has done it has to start with honey badgers (women who support men’s rights). THEY have to speak up.614 Reply- +1 y

For what it’s worth, you’re preaching to the choir here. I’m 31 and because I’m currently single, was having sex until about a little over a month ago, people throw the term incel at me. I could, no exaggeration, go to a bar and come home with a different girl every week but I actually have standards and only go after women most people would tell me I have no shot with. And occasionally I get them.
There were a couple videos that came out over the last couple weeks on YouTube that break down the modern statistics of female sexual promiscuity compared to men’s and the data is staggering to say the least. Well it would be if I hadn’t been reading studies and research on the topic for the last 10 years, but yeah. - +1 y
@DeltaCharlieEcho the ability for me to go to a local bar and come home with a different girl every night is fading. Despite having a good job, being a homeowner and being in excellent shape for my age (I’m actually 39) I’ve observed a huge change.
I remember two years ago I went to a singles meetup for Halloween. There was an attractive 30 yr old woman there who instantly gave me attention. But as night went on I realize she was just trying to make the guy she really liked there jealous.
I remember dating to myself. “Hey this is a meet up for grown ass adults. She wouldn’t do something that shitty and immature at 30.” I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. But my gut was right the entire time.

Why the hell would women want to support pathetic dumpster fires like you that spew the same lies fed to you by your woman-hating cults? Patriarchy benefits at the expense of both men and women.
Calling men “effeminate” for not being apex alphas is only sexist for women and damaging for men themselves. Men love to use feminine attributes as an insult amongst themselves.
Men who are socialized into toxic masculinity don’t have healthy coping mechanisms or emotional processing techniques, and this is detrimental in developing into a well-rounded, emotionally healthy adult.
Ever talked to a male victim of sexual assault? Patriarchal values allow for the dismissal and even mockery of this trauma in men, and can both prevent them from sharing their stories and allow for assaults on men to go unreported.
The culture surrounding male sexuality enforces that men are overly sexual beings and any sexual contact is a ‘victory’ of some sort, which not only harms male sexual assault survivors but opens an avenue for men to not be held accountable for their sexual activities and even feel pressured to be MORE sexual.
Also, google. There are many, many academics and psychologists who speak on this better than myself, and who use sociological studies to prove it. The patriarchy is oppressive and damaging to EVERYONE.
So stop laying the blame on feminism when it has only actively worked to better the lives of women, which clearly the patriarchy wasn’t very good at. - +1 y

@Ninjazzed you use the phrases “patriarchy” and “toxic masculinity” as if they are indisputable terms and it’s based on a hard science. Not surprising but really you need to do better than that. Just yelling “sexism”, “patriarchy” and “Chauvinism” isn’t going to magically win arguments anymore. People are getting tone deaf to that crap.
I just got one question. Are western women REALLY more happy with western society now vs. 1961? Oh I’m sure you will give me examples of higher domestic violence, unreported rape and explicit sexism going on back then. No one here agrees that was right.
But do you really believe that most men back in the 50s were going around beating and raping women? I highly doubt it. Many men (if not most) have an innate drive to respect and protect women. That’s why they supported early feminism.
This equality “utopia” visión you have is actually making everything worse. It’s enabling women to indulge their most debase impulses. Its making men behave in a manner that women find very romantically unattractive. It’s also ironically supporting patriarchy. In order for men to be promiscuous there needs to be promiscuous women. - +1 y

If makes you feel better to spout all that above suit yourself. I admit i occasionally like to ventilate but I always try to think of solutions to the problem.
The truth is I WANT the truth. You and I will never grow closer to what the truth is if all you do is argue to BE right vs. trying to figure out WHAT is right.
At the end of the day society favors your views and emotions right now. So who cares what I have to say, right? I’m just a misogynistic “incel” when I point out double standards that harm men?
I will leave you with this. Most of the angry guys you see on GAG could never get away speaking our minds in public vs how I often see women behaving. I have seen countless women post about feminism on social media but it’s rare to see men do the opposite about men’s rights. You sure as hell don’t hear about men’s rights in Hollywood entertainment, the mass media and of course politics. If a guy had the gall to that he would quickly get slapped down, muzzled and labeled. And yet as you can see many of us are quietly thinking everything you see on GAG.

Men’s rights groups are minuscule and virtually powerless compared to feminist groups.
I personally thought about joining one a few years ago. But its quite a sacrifice and make me one of hell of a social outcast. It’s much more socially acceptable to call yourself a “feminist” vs calling yourself a “MRA activist”.
So the guys who do join these groups are often crazy and come off as “toxic” as you mentioned. But many of us quietly believe in this. - +1 y
Joining a male rights group is basically like joining a white supremacy group. So yea it’s generally toxic.
I do understand the dilemma though. Some men feel well my life sucks. And they talk to some other men whose life also sucks and they equate that to life sucks for men as well. When it’s usually other factors that are the problem as to why their life is hard or sucks. Not so much being a male. For example they are ugly, they are poor, they have a shit personality and don’t realise it, they have depression and coming across negative and people don’t like their energy. They have narcisstic personality disorder and are unlikeable, or they marry toxic women and then have to suffer the consequences of that, all these issues are not a male problem. They are I make mistakes in my life problems or I was dealt a bad genetic lottery card problem.
+1 yI feel like men's rights groups are often just men with a dislike for feminism and fuelled by propaganda overrating men's issues or just conservative men who are trying to find a way to attack feminism. I mean I've talked to some of them and they deny that a patriarchy ever existed, which loses you a lot of points in my book.
Overall I just don't care about them to be honest, as I don't care about radical feminazis. What they have in common is both are tiny groups comprised of bigots that have made it their hobby to attack a gender/group. I don't believe in feminism because of how people who partake in it act, I do so because I believe in the ideology.
If there was an MRA who was actually genuinely left-wing, I would consider them. But it just seems to me like a pathetically veiled attempt at bringing down feminism by people who tend to have conservative ideas and values. For example, look at Christina Hoff Sommers, the "Factual Feminist" who works for the American Enterprise Institute.10 Reply- 6.8K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.

@IDontBelieveIt yes I get it people suck of any gender. But it’s sort of like the black rights movement. White lives obviously matter as well. And white people can be treated like shit as well. But the black rights movement exists because on average black people are treated more unfairly than white people. It’s the same with women’s rights. Women can suck too. Men can be treated badly too. But on average it’s much harder to be a woman. That’s not saying it’s not hard to be a man too in some situations. But it’s about having empathy and understanding your gender as a whole is not the one at a disadvantage. I think sometimes if a mans life sucks he equalises that to his gender. But that’s like a white person who has been treated badly saying his life is just as hard as a black persons so black people have no right to claim life is unfair.

A lot of them are actually aimed at the blatantly anti-male divorce laws and the "trial by public opinion" that negatively biases juries against male defendants facing allegations relating to crimes against a woman. I don't know of a single "men's rights group" motivated by bitterness over involuntary celibacy. I suspect that's a presupposition feminist media outlets have propagated to undermine the conversation of men's rights. But I'm sure there's some bad egg fringe groups who should rightly be ignored. But I don't know anything about them, so their influence is likely negligible to the point of irrelevance.

P. S. I'm not part of this particular movement, as I think most "movements" are contrary to independent thought by their collectivist nature. But I'm sympathetic to some of the specifics they raise. I personally have a male family member who attempted suicide in part because of the punitive divorce system that sees him as a "problem" and the drug-addicted emotionally manipulative mother as the "blameless innocent one". But he didn't join a men's rights group either, he got healthy and started putting his life back on track. But visitation rights are still a daily struggle and all the while the mum drips poison into the kids ears to the point he's about ready to give up trying any more. And this is what society does to men it deems "disposable". Something needs to change. I'm a fairly perceptive guy, but even I'm terrified that me getting married or having kids could one day become the seed of my destruction at the hands of a psychopathic system that just doesn't give a toss. There's no safety net for men in such situations, and nobody even acknowledges it because "oh they're just bitter incels"

@SomeGuyCalledTom don’t get married. Don’t cohabitate. I regularly tell men especially if you’re in the big cities marriage is venom. It slowly kills men. You can have everything from marriage with a ltr. You can even cohabitate with a contract to avoid common law. If you want a kid however your going to have to bite the bullet with child support. And any interaction with women is a chance for false rape allegations. Stay away from bars. A drunk woman is a victim. Also I recommend a camera in your home. You take a girl home record it… nvm for use later lmao but also for your own protection.
I know of several cases where recordings across the street got them men out of rape charges… I don’t think either women faced consequences.
They're more valid than feminists, but not by a whole lot. I think if you need to "label" yourself in such a way, you're looking for more than just a better society. That's why I avoid labels, most of the time. In-group thinking is how these groups tend to go south, anyway. Feminism, BLM, the Alt-Right... They always go really bad because they can't separate their ideals from the group's benefit.
In short, I support their ideals and what they fight for, but I would not label myself an MRA and take on all the baggage that comes with it. I'm pretty egalitarian in that I support equal opportunity for everyone, as long as it isn't equity (Communism) or taking away rights from others, to give to so-called "marginalized groups" (social justice bigotry).10 Reply

As a white western male, you are, in fact, hugely privileged. Not to deny or minimize the work any of them have done to achieve whatever level of success they have achieved.
It's admirable for anyone to pull themself up by his bootstraps and transcend misfortune.
But they never had to go to school and feel self-conscious because of the color of their skin or whatever genitalia sits between their legs.
They never hit a glass ceiling in their careers, nor had to accept lower pay for the same job because they are not women.
They were never avoided by people on the street and in airports or airplanes because they had dark skin, wore different clothes dictated by their culture, and spoke with a middle eastern accent.
They are probably never watched with suspicion and fear when they enter a convenience store late at night.
They never endured being a victim of discrimination - either negative or “affirmative action" - when they applied for college or a job, or were being considered for a promotion.
They never had to fear for their lives when they were pulled over by the police for a missing taillight. In fact, they’ve probably never been pulled over for such a minor infraction.
And they’ve never been pulled over for driving while black or brown - in other words, being part of a racially targeted group by police.
They never had to make time in their busy schedules for outrageous protest with their friends and neighbors against law enforcement and a judiciary that seems to disregard any killing as “justified" when people with their complexion are gunned down for no valid reason by police. Or to counter-protest against Nazis and white nationalist agitators who were “simply exercising their first amendment rights” to publicly and loudly broadcast their extremist hatred for their race or religion.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yVery good and much needed to counter the effects of feminism and bring awareness to the many injustices men face today. Society has been ingrained for decades with the message that women are oppressed and men are oppressors, and even though that changed a long time ago it is still the mindset everyone has. That prevents most people from recognizing and taking seriously all the unfair disadvantages men and boys face today. MRAs are desperately needed.

Men are more likely on average to be able to defend themselves from violent crime. Or have au significant chance of survival from an attack. Women’s chances are much lower. So preventative care is more required. If you can’t see that. Then their might be a lack of empathy going on.

The love of war stems from the union, deep in the core of their being between sex and destruction, beauty and horror, love and death. War may be the only way in which most men touch the mythic domains in their soul. It is, for men, at some terrible level, the closest thing to what childbirth is for women: the initiation into the power of life and death. It is like lifting off the corner of the universe and looking at what's underneath. To see war is to see into the dark heart of things, that no-man's-land between life and death, or even beyond.

@Ninjazzed True, war is in our nature.
But for war to happen, an idea has to drive it usually.

@Aiko_E_Lara Read what I’m writing. Women have seriously been oppressed for the longest time and it’s only presently that we are finally catching up.

- +1 y
@Babewithplan You can also read what I wrote. That also means I'm saying men had also been oppressed and you think it's only women? FYI, that's not really the case. If you women didn't had the rights to do anything before, work before wasn't even as easy as work today and when women were given the choice, most women wouldn't. So the dirty jobs were left to men and men don't even have the rights to refuse even if they want to for the sake of our survival but you think that's not oppression? Only women had been oppressed? That kind of mentality is really what men also face such as being in denial of their issues because of course they're "privileged" that we don't care if they die. What truly liberated today's generation is how technology and our government system got developed. That has nothing to do with feminism. But if you really want feminism, then masculinity should also exist for equality. Because it turns out women are not the only one who needs equality here. But really the term equality isn't even gendered. Feminism just wants to claim monopoly for the discussion of issues which is why masculinism is such a threat to your movement.

@Aiko_E_Lara Feminism stands for equal rights for all. It was first called feminism because females are the people who needed rights most; like when they couldn't vote. In some places there's still women being married at 15 and having children before 18, married to their uncles no less. You still think we don't need feminism. Men are not oppressed in that sense. There is still toxic masculinity which definitely does need to be handled and if you look on feminism websites and stuff you will see that they do bring up toxic masculinity and how it needs to stop. If you really looked into feminism you would see that it does support equal rights for all. As for you saying that most of the technological advancements and stuff are made by men that's b*******. For example, Marie Curie, who discovered multiple elements on the periodic table, Maria Telkes, who made the first 100% solar powered house, Anne Tsukamoto, who pioneered stem cell isolation, not to mention the black women who helped get man in space. But if course you don't hear about any of them, because they're women. - +1 y
I also forgot to mention another factor why people actually listened to that is because of the women are wonderful effect. Despite men being so oppressed as well, men can’t easily advocate for their movement also because there are always women like you who sees it as a threat to your kind of “equality” You don’t even consider yourself lucky that people had been buying your propaganda until people takes it back, that’s the time when you get salty the most. Now for those other issues you’re talking about
Voting – While I’m well aware that women couldn’t vote before which is what I’m not ignorant of, what you also didn’t know is that women had the choice not to vote. Because voting back then doesn’t only require you to be 18+, you also have to be a suffrage and serve the military which women chose not to do. Also because they don’t see any other benefits when they get to vote. Really tell me what benefits does women really get when they really get to vote? Men on the other hand, they get recruited to join the military and fight during the world war and the revolutionary war which what makes them suffrages in the first place. Unlike women, they don’t have the rights to refuse. The only benefit they get from voting is so that they won’t be demoted and get homeless. Unlike in today’s world, you can now easily vote online, you don’t have to wait in line, system is easier now for you to vote. You got your votes for free. That’s the same with cars as well. Cars before requires so many manual labor that it’s not easy for both to maintain and most guys don’t even get to own cars because only the rich can.

Toxic masculinity – It’s just like how there is still toxic femininity going on. Like those girls giving double standards and talking advantage of the sympathy gap. If you want me to check your feminist website, then you can also watch this www.youtube.com/watch showing how toxic femininity affects men’s lives.
Feminism in theory vs in practice – One don’t have to look at what feminism is in theory when you can look at it in practice. Notice how communism doesn’t sound so bad in theory? But in practice, people hated that idea which is why despite what the dictionary said, communism is toxic. Same goes for feminism. I also noticed there are also many kinds of feminist websites out there all of them saying how they interpret feminism is the true feminism. If you watch the previous video I presented, there are numerous examples within that video. Now with that many kinds of feminists, it seems like all of you can’t agree on each other on what feminism should be. Like it’s nothing else but just a label now which is what matters to you more instead of focusing on equality itself which is why you ignore how feminism gets toxic not showing equality at all.

That’s not gaslighting. Your 14 your so-called experience isn’t that of an adult but a child. Life handles children with kiddie gloves and adults protect you from any real struggles and suffering. That’s the truth.
Here’s an idea for ya. Are your opinions really yours or are the the decision you mind made because of life experience? Because who gave you them experiences. An accent can be treated like opinions. It’s built based off experiencing it from others around you. So basically others around you build your opinions as much as your accent. You learned how to behave because of brainwashing. Society itself is brainwashing. - +1 y
Again opinions are built by your experiences. Arguably your experiences are real but as a child your experiences won’t matter in a few years when suddenly your held to different standards and things change.
I took a while to grow up myself. I had to learn this lesson because I wasn’t ready to be an adult and I suffered because of it.
I’ll give an example. The baby don’t know the fires hot because he hasn’t experienced it. The young boy has and does. Now do you think the same person touching fire one with a fire proof mitt and one with bare hands will think fires similarly hot? If you and I both went to the same store and stole the same pack of cigs do you think the consequences would be the same? - +1 y
How do you give context to ambiguity? If you have an empty room just black nothingness and no walls or floor or ceiling how do you describe it. The black rooms your version of the truth and your experiences slowly fill the room. Once you learn something you associate it with other similar things. So what’s more truthful your truth based off your experience or someone else’s truth based off their experiences. Like… where we live the color red is described by the word red and the color blues described as the word blue… now what if the descriptions were reversed? Let’s say in some backwards country the color red was described by the word blue and the color blue by the word red? If you want an easier way to describe this write red in red ink and blue in blue ink and then next to it write red in blue ink and blue in red ink. Personal experiences define our world and our opinions. In this backwards country I just mentioned their truth is blue is red and red is blue.
Knowing this very simple truth means you can understand that nearly everything you think is a product of someone or somethings brainwashing. - +1 y
Yes but how do you decide which experience is the real truth? From your perception and experiences mra’s are bad but from my experience their needed. I feel that if you really spent time as a man and experienced our hardship you’d feel differently then you do now. That’s the problem with equality… it’s impossible to reach. Real equality means unfair for someone else. It’s not possible.
And feminism don’t stand for equality or they would fight for equality. They stand for better treatment of women without a consideration for men. Even if they have to trample men to get this equality and that’s unfair. I hate feminism and feminists for that matter because their so willing to say fuck men I fight for women. If their going to be like that mra’s are necessary to fight back for men’s sake. - +1 y

I think everyone is like this at some points. I see things on here I don’t even think are worth considering but when you actually try and see it from a different perspective it makes the whole thing more clear. One clear explanation or even a simple overlooked or unknown fact can change the whole story or even how you defend/attack a disagreement. - +1 y

Yes and no. Let’s take a common feminist arguing point like abortion. Why does the man have no say on abortion but the woman can decide to keep or not to keep the child? I get it it’s her body but she opened her body to him and he provided the seed to make birth happen. Both have opted to risk responsibility… so why is it only one gets the choice of responsibility meanwhile both held accountable.
Feminism tend to push laws and social changes that negatively effect men for the betterment of women. But MRA’s tend to fight against feminism pushing for things to stay the same. Comparing the two isn’t exactly fair. But yes many people pushing these point don’t even understand what their fighting with or for. - +1 y
@VanillaSalt LMAOOOO stfu hypocrite.
As for your “men should get a say in abortion”. No, they should absolutely not get a say whatsoever.
The woman is the one CARRYING, BIRTHING, BREASTFEEDING and TAKING CARE of the baby.
Pregnancy causes hormonal changes and mental imbalances as well as postnatal depression, which don’t affect the father. The father provided the semen and that’s the extent of his contribution towards the entire pregnancy.
Now, why on earth would a woman want to go through these changes/risks because a man (who is not affected) wants a say in abortion? - +1 y
She already has… she opened her legs. She accepted his uncovered penis. She understood what COULD happen and still did the deed or do you think she is free from accountability?
Let’s turn it around assume she CHOOSES to keep the baby against the fathers wishes… why should he have to pay child support after all all he did was deposit. I’m willing to share responsibility with choice but your not willing to give choice but more than willing to accept the responsibility aka child support… what did you call me? Hypocrite? - +1 y
@VanillaSalt Yes the pregnancy has happened, but LUCKILY there’s abortion so that she can now abort (and not consult the father) and live happily.
- +1 y
And if she don’t abort but he don’t want the kid?
- +1 y
@VanillaSalt I believe that in instances like that where the father doesn’t want the child but the mother does, it’s always because the “father” is irresponsible and the woman is now retaliating by NOT aborting the child. It only does happen when she’s out for revenge and wants to make him pay (well figuratively and literally speaking).
In other (“normal”) instances, where both parents are responsible adults, the father (a decent responsible person) will offer to pay, but will not be interested in being a part of that child’s life in any capacity and the mother will agree.
But you see? No matter what, the father should/will pay, because that’s the right thing to do no matter the decision. - +1 y

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yGood cause, but I don’t think it’s actually going to fix anything. People just don’t care about men enough, there’s no fixing that belief.
The best way to fix it seems to be having people with the correct attitudes entering positions of power or being wealthy and then implementing good policies and programs.00 Reply
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI think we need a time and place for men to discuss issues that men face, free of feminists blaming all of our issues on us.
However, men's rights activist groups are predominantly whiny pathetic incels who blame all their problems on women.

@grega239 Well circumcision is ultimately the parents’ decision.. though the decision to circumcise is guided by religious tradition for some families, most of the American parents who choose circumcision do so for other reasons — because they believe a circumcised penis is easier to keep clean, for example, or because they want a boy's penis to look like that of his father or peers.
And obviously men aren’t really drafted anymore.. The draft wasn't seen as an act of oppression but duty.
As a civilian of a nation, if there is a war, it requires a certain level of man power and you are obligated to share in the protection of it. Men are generally more physcally suited for combat, upper body strength and all. Personally I think it makes sense for the draft to exclude women, and in no way see that as oppression, just an acknowledgement that one sex is differently skilled in certain things.
That aside you have to remember back then, military service was more of a privilege.
Young royals and nobility filled the ranks, the officers who were first over the top were often the sons of the wealthy elite. At the onset of WWI, people were clamoring to join it wasn't until further in the war that changed. It wasn't Vietnam, where the wealthy wanted to help their kids avoid the draft.. instead they wanted them to volunteer.
You're looking at this from a very progressive modern eye. Where a glorious death in battle isn't something desirable to anyone.
Instead of the view then, to not go would be left out of a national and generationally defining moment. Those who couldn't medically serve where ashamed of this even after the war. - +1 y

@Drumlin2001 there’s a feminist argument that courts favour women as the caretakers due to misogyny and traditional gender roles so they focus on their children not careers or themselves. But yes, I can agree with you that the custody system does favour women unfairly

Feminism is about females. If it was about everyone it would be called humanism or egalitarism and not Feminism. They focus on females rights and needs and make valid point with that. Anything goes above they can´t decide. A female doesn´t know and can not understand the struggles and wishes a man has. by the way I´m not talking about sex only, sex isn´t the only thing that a man´s life is built on.

@Ninjazzed So men actually dont have the right to bodily autonomy in america while women do? Because in my country, circumcision is illegal, religious or cultural reasons be damned. Muslims who live here have to travel out of the country to slice their kid.

@grega239 Women don’t either, there are still lawmakers actively trying to make abortion illegal for every state.
Recently, my state passed a heartbeat bill. I can’t believe people still fall for this shit.
I would literally have to drive to Georgia to get a procedure that should be widely accessible for women everywhere, regardless of the reason.
Yes, welcome to the world of oppression.
Where people still haven’t evolved to reject religion as it’s toxic and dogmatic propaganda has blinded their ability to use logic. This is often why the topic of circumcision and abortion are often laughed at and dismissed. People don’t care until it affects them.

@Ninjazzed true, men aren't drafted yet should war break out, a recruitment officer will show up at my door to inform me that im duty bound to take up arms and threaten me with imprisonment for dereliction of duty and cowardice if i refuse. This will not happen to a woman. So much for equality.
Umm no. Young royals carried the rank of an officer, the foot soldiers were commoners.
I also wonder about the ratio of officer/private who went over the top?
Amd why aren't women obligated to do something? Other than fill the jobs left vacant by men.

@Ninjazzed A couple of issues here.
1. Bodily autonomy is a HUMAN right, abortion is not. It is a gender specific right amd has nothing to do with equality or oppression.
(Just realized men dont have gender specific rights either)
2. The debate on abortion isn't about women , its about the morality of such a procedure.
Just because you have to go out of state , to extract the result of your own irresponsibility doesn't make you oppressed.
Amd the fact that men can be butchered at birth without their consent... correction without them even having the ability to understand let alone consent to what is being done to them. That sound more like oppression.
Have a condom at hand, use pills or the after pill or dont have sex.

@grega239 Yes, women were obligated to fill the jobs that were left vacant by men in WWI/WWII. I don't know how extensive their numbers were, but as tankers, women would usually serve as drivers.
Originally they had been used to drive the tanks from the factory to the railyard to transport to the front, but with numbers of trained men running thin, many were allowed to volunteer for the front. The most famous woman tanker though was a 39 year old widow, Maria Oktyabr'skaya, whose husband was killed in 1941.
Of those in military service, the Soviet women are easily the best known. Over one million women were in the Red Army during the 'Great Patriotic War', and unlike the West where they mostly volunteered, 3/4 of them had been conscripted. They were not only used in positions such as clerks, drivers, nurses, and radio operators, but saw actual combat. We see tankers, pilots, soldiers, and of course snipers utilized by the Red Army in direct combat with the enemy (although yopu had to volunteer for such a position, not be conscripted and forced in).
The "Night Witches" (588th Night Bomber Regiment) is quite well known as for being an all-female bomber regiment, gaining their names from their femininity, as well as the slow, quiet Po-2 bombers that they would glide in on at night to strike the Germans unawares. They were part of the all-female 122nd Air Group, which also included a Fighter Regiment (586th) and a second bomber regiment (587th). There were also air units that had mixed gender makeup, such as Lydia Litvak, a fighter pilot with the mostly male 73rd Guards Fighter Air Regiment.
As snipers, the small stature of women made them very well suited to the clandestine nature of their work, and it was believed that women had more patience than men, making them ideal for the role. Lyudmilla Pavlichenko was credited with over 300 kills, making her one of the most successful snipers of all time.

@grega239 Equivocally wrong. Abortion is women’s reproductive right. Therefore, it is a human right.
I am ready for that topic! Let’s talk about pregnancy and the idea of “forced-fatherhood” often used as a way to counter pro-choice.
I’m not going to discuss abortion at length, because abortion is the decision to not be pregnant anymore, and isn’t about not wanting to be a parent.
Men have several choices to not create a pregnancy that results in a child they need to care for:
1: discussing with your sexual partners what their decision would be if they were to become pregnant ahead of time.
2: condoms
3: condoms and pulling out
4: vasectomies (which are much easier to obtain than a tubal ligation)
Those are the choices men have to prevent a pregnancy. They don’t get to decide on abortion, but thems the breaks because that’s down to body autonomy.
Now, if you create a child you need to care for it, regardless of gender. If both parties decide to choose adoption then that settles that.
Did you know that if you’re pregnant and decide to keep a pregnancy to birth with the agreement with your partner that the infant will be given up for adoption that the partner can, after the birth, decide that they want to keep the child. Guess what?
The woman will need to pay child support, regardless if she has custody or not.
Men back out of fathering children that they specifically went out of their way to create ALL THE TIME. Not only that but men abandon their children with relatively little societal consequence. They don’t care for their children with relatively little societal consequence.
I’m so sick of the narrative that men were innocent victims when they had many choices to prevent pregnancy but chose not to because they wanted a little extra pleasure.
Men have never been oppressed for their reproductive capabilities. - +1 y

@yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo 5 women in my family have served honorably so I don’t see any fault in it.
Also, what’s the point of advocating for mens’ rights? What rights do men not already have, excluding the parental aspect?
You’re free to exercise your first amendment right in this way, even if it is conceptually useless.
- +1 y
@yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo What rights do men not already possess? None. Women have fewer rights, if anything, based on the enforcement of laws.
Women still aren’t fully people in the US, only considered in the 19th Amendment. If you consider how rights are enforced, women don’t have the right to free travel, because at any time, we could be raped/killed, harassed, or threatened just for being female. If you consider our right to life, it can be taken at any time from any male.
If you consider our right to ownership of our bodies, if we become pregnant, in many places, we have to continue the pregnancy even at major risk to our health and lives, due to restrictions on abortion.
Our children can be taken from us at any time by a vengeful ex-partner or even a neighbor if they are convincing enough.
The MRAs are mainly abusive, entitled men who twist statistics and cherry pick flawed studies to further their agenda, which is to place their boots more firmly on women’s necks. - +1 y

@Ninjazzed It is unanimous knowledge. Which proves my point because women aren't required to do that.
No. Women weren't on the front they were in the back lines. Big difference.
Yea i know about Russian women serving in battle. Im guessing because russia was running out of men.
So a woman not becoming pregnant is mens responsibility? Because you only mentioned what men can do to avoid a woman getting pregnant.
Abandonment of a child has societal consequences. More men are paying child support than women.
Hard to be oppressed for reproductive capabilities when said capability is contingent on the agreement of the woman.

@Ninjazzed just as much. I mean in 70% of domestic violence cases it was the woman who instigated it, so in 70% of cases where the woman was a victim of domestic abuse the man was also the victim.
Just look at how much higher domestic violence is amongst lesbians compared to straight couples.
I think by in large feminists need to get over this victim mentality. I mean the first thing a lot of women do when they do something shitty from murder to cheating is to pull the i have a vagina victim card to justify their shitty behaviour.

The fact that most politicians and CEOs are male has nothing to do with the patriarchy what else anything to do with the societal pressure which men face in order for them to climb up to the corporate ladder which majority of men cannot even reach. And those rich politicians doesn't even do anything to benefit the average male which falls under the homelessness and poverty category. If you say that men always have the rights, they never really had the rights to refuse during recruitment otherwise they'd get demoted and even if women had the choice to be politicians, they know it takes full responsibility and most of them wouldn't really take that choice also because it is their right.

You hate that word probably because you want double standards. You see how feminism became extreme that it gets to the point that it became a man hating movement? That can potentially happen to the male right activist. Unlike supporting equality itself, no matter how extreme equality is, the result is always equality. I can say im a pro choice but that has nothing to do with me being a feminist also because i support men's rights.

@anon1903 you can delete all the comments you want in your thread but what i'm going to say is something you cannot delete here. I'm going to say it again. I thought you feminist want equality but why do you even complain if guys do the same thing? Don't you realize that equality just simply have something to do with copying to be equal? Yes while you yourself freely copying by wanting "equality", you only complain because a man does it so i see your movement is double standards full of hypocrisy after all.
