The NS Mens Rights Thread

[Val Halla]

We are all oppressed in some way. But this is how it should be. We can't have 100% freedom, that'd be anarchy. But, the fact is that both binary genders are oppressed and discriminated in ways they shouldn't be.

[Hirota]

I explained to her, but she was something like "well, men lead the society so MRM is BS...

This is fallacious reasoning. It's reasonable to accept that most of the "1%" happen to be men, but just because the 1% happen to be mainly men fails to consider that the vast majority of men are equally disadvantaged as the vast majority of women. It fails to consider that men are more likely to be homeless, for example.

Feminists is like totally needed because women are abused all around the world".

This is also fallacious reasoning. It's true that women are abused globally, but that fails to recognise men are also abused around the world. It also fails to recognise that what may well hold true in disadvantaged areas such as Africa and Asia, does not neccessarily hold true in the west.

New Westin really has the truth of it - western feminists are starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel, and are desperately looking for any excuse (even fabricated lies) to justify their existence as a movement.

We have a winner.

Teachers 'give higher marks to girls'

Teachers are more lenient in their marking of girls' schoolwork, according to an international study.
An OECD report on gender in education, across more than 60 countries, found that girls receive higher marks compared with boys of the same ability.
Researchers suggest girls are better behaved in class and this influences how teachers perceive their work.

Better behaved -> Pathologizing males, the women are wonderful effect, and the overwhelming majority of teachers being women.

Sad story, a teen falsely accused of rape committed suicide on the 1st

Sad story, a teen falsely accused of rape committed suicide on the 1st

But women never lie right ?

(In fairness, I think it's fair to say most allegations are not found to be outright fabrications, and of course it horrific for survivors of rape - but apparently pointing out the fact that women do lie occassionally, and it does inevitabily cause some skeptism of genuine allegations makes me a rape apologist according to at least one dribbling lunatic.)

[New Kylifornia]

I think the problem was that, at least in the Western world, feminism doesn't really have a lot else to fight. Women are pretty damned equal to men in most places and in the places they aren't, that's probably going to change eventually.

But, without a monster to slay, a movement loses steam and dies, and since Feminism can't lose steam, you get the idea that men control everything.

At least, that's the only way I've been able to rationalize it.

It's a totalizing ideology. Symptomatic of religions and cults.

This is why feminists blame things on patriarchy that other feminists have caused. Everything is proof of their delusional worldview.

I'm struck by the similarity between feminism and certain strains of conservative Christianity. Both assume their own oppression as axiomatic, and thus must find evidence of it. Since in reality neither group faces any significant legal or political oppression, they have to work increasingly hard to find examples of oppression or persecution.

The way I see it, anyone who submits a false allegation should be as severely punished as the accused would have been. But I doubt that will ever happen.

Also notice that when a male is the perp, even suspected, the tactic is to blast his name and face all over the place, essentially condemning him in the court of public opinion before he's even been allowed to have a trial. However, the supposed victim's identity is totally protected. Yeah, I know backlash happens, but I doubt that's unique to these kinds of cases. The accused needs to be allowed to face their accuser. It's how due process works. You can prevent other people from lashing out at either the plaintiff or defendant by not letting the media or gossips find out, but that will probably never happen.

All types of disadvantaged starts harm boys more than girls. Girls have more social mobility than boys as a result.

The amount of overlap between conservative Christianity and feminism is uncanny.

Banning porn? Check.
Banning prostitution? Check.
Enforcing gender roles? Check.
Transphobia? Check.
Rape scaremongering? Check.
Regulating everyone's sex lives? Check.
Looking down on mixing sex and alcohol? Check.
Looking down on casual sex? Check.

So we finally get out of the clutches of Christian legislatures passing moralistic legislation... only to end up with feminist legislatures doing exactly the same things with slightly different reasons for it.

[Haktiva]

first and foremost would be visitation rights, alimony, child support, and domestic violence.

I'd say it actually depends on your priorities.

Homelessness, suicide, drug abuse, and rape is another set.

Would you eliminate alimony?

unless the inferior party is crippled and can't actually take care of themselves beyond the shadow of a doubt, but I think that's what disability is fore. Of course, the state would rather have some guy pay for a broken woman than have to flip the bill to the taxpayers.

I'd limit alimony. One year only and such.

even amongst the Jewish community, circumcision is being called into question. Old traditions may have served a purpose way back when(personal hygiene not being known, short lifespans, general stupidity), but nowadays people don't think it's entirely necessary.

Personally I think Rabbis are a bit more careful and do a better job, but maybe that's because my Bris never bothered me. Don't advocate for gentiles to be circumcised, nor anyone, however.

Didn't know you were Jewish. Any unique perspectives on mens issues?

can't give much aside from anecdotes, even then I'm not very religious and basically a borderline Atheist. However, growing up and just looking around, the relations between men and women are pretty stereotypical, which kinda pisses me off. I can get more specific if you ask the right questions, just don't have the time for a whole bunch of nonsensical bullet points right now.

I grew up in a Reform household, technically, so I can't really speak for the other sects. Obviously there's a lot of high standards directed towards men in regards to what they can achieve, and it doesn't help that you're considered to be missing half your soul or some shit if you don't marry and have kids. That applies to women too, of course, but as a man it's not much different anywhere else in terms of what's expected of you. Master of the house, always responsible, spiritual strength, etc etc. Don't get me started on the battle axes we call women though.
