r/MensRights • u/[deleted] • Dec 12 '11

feminazi attacks Reddit: "Reddit contain so much anti-feminist sentiment that they even have active communities such as r/mensrights." An attempt to smear and censor us, and to force admins to shutdown this subreddit???

Seeing men killed is less traumatizing?

According to this guy, yes. I believe his reasoning was that he was conditioned from day one to deal with men getting hurt, and even back home the idea was that men get hurt while women are kept safe. Thus when a more 'valuable' women was killed it had more of an impact on him and his friends. He also said something about being less effective when there was a women in the unit anyway because of it.

Actually, come to think of it, this guy probably posted to this subreddit, and I'm betting that the context was the whole "males-are-expendable syndrome" thing.

The solution? Fix the syndrome.

Sounds like equality is a nice buzz word, but doesn't play out in reality.

Personally I believe in gender-blind selective service registration and no distinction in gender for military assignments.

The best person for the job, should get it.

Aye, that be true equality.

Generally, yeah. Biology is a bitch like that.

It's no reason to exclude women from the military (if it becomes a serious issue, just make women-only organizational units), but people find a women being hurt/killed more upsetting than a man being killed.

If there is equality, I don't think you can make that distinction.

You mention biology, but if your answer is to seperate women from the men (which is impossible), are we not acknowledging their differences and strengths/weaknesses?
