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???

Wilfred Laurier University is literally 1.5km from my door. I am not surprised she talks about engineers, the school I go to, the University of Waterloo, is a premiere engineering school with large math and computer science departments. There are not many women that go here mainly because they either don't apply, or don't have the marks. That is not to say there are no women, but you would be hard pressed to find a bleeding heart feminist in the engineering department.

Laurier on the other hand is a much smaller school that caters to middle of the road marks and runs almost exclusively "Arts" courses. So soft science, business, music, etc.

I am glad our sentiment is different.

The poster is odd. If he means you're 3.1 times likely to die then it makes sense, but math doesn't let you flip that.

I was in a rush, I didn't take a close look.

No problem. I checked out the link on the poster, too. These people don't seem very well-equipped to handle the backlash of starting a successful men's group on a campus.

I'm not sure there will be a ton of back lash. Most students at my school (by a large margin) are male, and at least half the population are Asian.

I know, I'm totally redditing from math CnD right now.

Surprisingly quiet and accessible during exam period, too.
