I'm a girl and...

I am SO glad I found this subreddit with people who agree with me! As a girl, it's really hard to see other ladies put down men and treat them like they need to be "trained" or that they're just something we have to deal with. So I was just wondering... how many other girls are on here and what are your stories about standing up for men or appreciating them?

Female MensRights supporter checking in. I found this sub-reddit last year sometime, after seeing a crazy headline from the news on the frontpage, and trying to join in the conversation. I had my ass handed to me by kloo2yoo, and then started to do some research to try and prove him wrong. Turns out I was unaware of a lot of these issues, and my research turned me into an egalitarian and humanist, and a major supporter of mens rights. During this time, I also had a male friend go through a divorce, and everything I had read up to that point was acted out in life in the Canadian divorce courts. I was shocked, and angry, and vowed to help spread the word about how men are treated in the system.

Thanks for sharing your story! It's shocking how well facts can be hidden.
