There were at least 2 groups that I saw, on street corners with these signs... mix of guys and girls. Had to get a pic, and give them props for being out there.

They also had fliers, and were willing to actually stop and talk the issue out with anyone who'd listen... but they weren't being aggressive either.

Given that the street corners are usually taken by Westboro types... it's a fantastic improvement.

Any idea what movement they identify as belonging to? Did they mention it all?

I'm wondering if this is a case of feminists actually doing something positive for men, or if they're egalitarian or MRA or something else. Massive props to them whatever the answer is!

I really don't know what kind of feminists you guys know, but that's usually what feminists do... Equal rights. That sign is about equal rights. It's a good thing.

bullshit, lets see some pictures of feminists protesting unfair sentences for men, unfair parental rights, protesting the fact we have virtually no domestic violence shelters for men.

I hope you are joking...

You are trying to claim that someone from the UN an organisation that is encouraging circumcision throughout Africa and forcing it to happen in a lot of cases is somehow an example of feminists fighting for mens issues ?

You are trying to claim that Emma Watson the head of UN Women and the iconic leader of HeForShe is somehow a demonstration of feminists fighting for mens issues, when none of the material or Facebook content for that matter for the group which is driven by the UN and funded by the UN has not focused on any male issue at all ?

Unlucky buddy, try again.

[–]YM_Industries 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Talk is cheap. Feminists always claim they help men too, but I have rarely if ever seen this in action. The only cases I've seen of feminism helping men was as a by-product of helping women.

I suggest you get out more and spend some time with feminists, they are really nice people. There's always that rotten apple in the basket, but that's the same with every group I guess. It made my life more fun, that's spoken from a male's perspective.

Hey, I know feminists are nice people, a lot of my friends are feminists and I respect their views. You're deflecting what I said though, which is that feminism as a movement has not improved anything for men that has not also improved things for women.

If you disagree with this then it should be easy to disprove, just give me an example.

[–]inferno230 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

They're clearly reasonable people; not just as women. See, if there were more reasonable and empathetic women like those two are rather than feminazis, then there would be less of a need for the Mens Rights Movement. However, inequality greatly exists against males which makes the MRM urgently needed for the sake of equality.

I am uncut. If I clean my dick once a day I don't get Smegma. If I were to go a week without cleaning I would probably get smegma. Haven't tested this out though.

[–]10900209 25ポイント26ポイント  (11子コメント)

There's actually nothing wrong with smegma. It's an anti-bacterial / moisturizing secretion. Women produce it in greater quantities than men. Nature didn't make a mistake with our all-important reproductive organs.

[–]Hyperlingual 17ポイント18ポイント  (2子コメント)

is it true that circumsised males don't get smegma?

Well yes, but uncircumcised males don't necessarily get it either. Why is it that circumcised males think that smegma is like some rampant infection amongst males who aren't cut?

Unless you don't shower for days at a time and cant spare 30 seconds to clean your own penis, you'll never have that problem. No cutting needed. If anyone has that problem, smegma will probably be the least of his concerns.

[–]Skulder 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

I was warned about it, told about general hygiene, etc., but I distinctly remember when I was a late teen on a wilderness trip, and I didn't clean behind the foreskin for... two weeks or something.

I mean, it didn't smell nice, but there was no visible build-up of anything, at all.

Of course, secretions vary from person to person, but I got the idea that smegma shows up after a long time of not washing your junk.

[–]RedditorJemi 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

It can show up after only a couple of days. It really depends on a lot of different things. Basically, the more dick sweat you get, the more smegma you get. However, smegma is in no way harmful. In fact, it contains beneficial bacteria that help clean the penis. It's the penis's self cleaning system, in much the same way that a woman's vagina is self cleaning.

[–]decompyler 16ポイント17ポイント  (8子コメント)

I hate that I am clipped too. I really don't give a shit that I don't have to deal with a minor hygiene issue. What I hate most is that I didn't have a choice that my natural body has been violently modified without my consent.

[–]niceguysociopath 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm conflicted, because I completely agree with you and it makes me really uncomfortable to think about taking that choice from my future son...but at the same time, my life has been pretty good in spite of it, and I can't say that would be true if l, say, the first time I took my dick out in front of a girl she freaked out and called it disgusting because she had never need an uncircumcised one before. As sensitive and neurotic as I was back then, I guarantee that would have given me a complex and some major insecurities.

Then again, my kids will have a dad that actually talks to them about sex and stuff so they'll probably be good.

[–]waveofreason 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

So, in your example, you are worried your virgin son, who is allegedly having sex with a girl who's seen enough penis's to form an opinion, would react negatively to an uncut one? Seems like a very specific kind of situation.

Any girl who is that experienced with men would likely have no problem with it, and any girl who is inexperienced wouldn't know the difference in the first place.

Please, for the sake of your son, don't let this irrational fear effect his life. When he's older, talk to him about it and let him know he can choose that path if he want, but at least give him the choice.

Hang on, I've seen variations of these facts, but not in that combination.

I accept that the foreskin has tens of thousands of nerve-endings, but that they're all secually responsive (moreso than any other random nerve ending) is new to me, and I'm not certain that it's true.

Could someone back it up with a source?

Circumcisiondecision.com raises doubt, circumcision.org talks about the benefit of the foreskin, but doesn't mention nerve-endings.

There are plenty of advantages, don't get me wrong, but I think if it's misinformation, it's important to address it.

Regardless of how accurate information is now, the decision to circumcise your child is a permanent one that, as evidence has proven, detracts from ones sexual experience.

[–]the_acid_Jesus 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

What evidence has proven this

[–]jimmywiddle 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

its pretty obvious that if you remove the protective layer of skin that protects one of the most sensitive parts of your body from touching and rubbing on things that it will lose sensitivity by doing so.

People who have had a circumcision later on in life have confirmed the difference in the past and have stated the loss of sensitivity after circumcision.

I'm not hung up on it, it is only a very minor detriment compared to being uncut.

But I have thought that it would be better to be uncut. Not crying over it or anything, just acknowledging it. Kind of strange that you don't, really. You should think about it at least a little if you ever have a son.

[–]ezetemp 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's those for whom it is a big thing. As you cannot in advance tell who will seriously harmed by it from those who won't and as it's very difficult to undo, the only way to ensure you're not doing serious harm is to leave it up to the individual to choose themselves.

[–]haenger 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

What serious harm are you speaking off?

[–]jimmywiddle 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Loss of sensitivity, the psychological damage it does to babies who have it done, soreness, bleeding, botched circumcisions which result in further surgery, erectile dysfunction, depression etc etc.

Just because you don't suffer from these does not mean that all men don't.

Same, while I can understand not particularly agreeing with your parents making such a decision for you. Having a strong emotional reaction or focusing on it as a large problem seems very odd. Like people who say that they hate that their circumcised seem like they may be defining themselves a bit too much by their dick.

[–]Nick700 -3ポイント-2ポイント  (3子コメント)

What? So if you had your penis completely removed at birth you wouldn't care or see it as a problem? Circumcision is genital mutilation, just an extremely minor and socially accepted type. The reason it isn't a big deal is that it is part of our history and still extremely common. It is a fact that removing the foreskin also removes some sexual feeling/functionality. Why would you not be slightly upset that something like that was done to you without permission? Why would you think it is odd for people to try to stop this practice?

Like, I'm circumcised and don't really care. Because it is in the past, and just a very minor detriment. But no way in fuck am I getting my kids circumcised, because it is just wrong and totally immoral. Unless they elect to get it done by their own decision.

[–]RocketMan63 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

I dont think its odd for people to want it stopped. I do think its odd for people to do it with such ferocity and passion that we've seen in this thread. It just seems like a bad thing that doesn't actually cause a huge amount of harm. Especially compared to other types of genital mutilation.

You are a feminist even if you don't class yourself as one.

What the fuck are you talking about. Are you new here ? Feminism is a bad thing. We have demonstrations that feminism is a bad thing every single day shown to us on the television, in the newspaper, in the courts, written in to the law, if you haven't realised that feminism is to blame for a lot of issues we have socially today then you clearly don't pay attention.

If you were to say that around 80% of people class themselves as egalitarian or someone who believes in equal rights. Then you might be close to the truth. However you are very very off the mark if you think "99% of people are feminist".

I agree with you on your stance regarding circumcision, however you clearly need to go away and do some research with regards to feminism as you appear to be massively lacking in that area.
