At a friends bachellorette party recently, the bride's sister insisted on showing me, and everybody else, pictures she'd taken of her dogs cock.

Her dogs erect cock.

Her dogs massive erect cock.

Up close pictures of her dogs massive erect cock.

It was weird.

      I was hella uncomfortable when the ultrasound tech pointed out my son's penis. We had told her we knew it was a boy (previous ultrasound) but she kept pointing it out, and saying things like "look at the little turtle". I can't even begin to fathom showing pictures of him to complete strangers. Shudder

      [–]drevenant 4 points5 points ago

      Hey baby, you wanna go for a ride on my turtle?

      [–]mauxly 2 points3 points ago

      I had an acquaintance who made a point of showing off her son's ultra-sound cock pictures. I'm pretty certain that it was an arm and not a cock, I mean, there's no fucking way.

      I met her father for the first time soon after (before the birth) and said, "Congratulations of your grandson's huge cock." because...well...you can't take me anywhere.

      I haven't really talked to her much since then.

      [–]ChippedMetalCig 0 points1 point ago

      I had the same thing happen when I was at my.friends second ultrasound. A guy tech came in and kept saying making comments about how large the babys testicles looked. Like is this really necessary?

      Well, considering they aren't SRS, they would probably understand it's a joke and laugh about it.

      [–]ericphilbin 63 points64 points ago

      Switch the captions. Clearly, it is more of a case of "things only women can do", and not "things you can only do with boys." Meaning, it is more acceptable for women to be talking about these things, gender of the baby aside, than men. Why? Because A) women are more likely to be the child's 'primary' caretaker, and B) women are less likely (statistically speaking) to be pedophiles.

      [–]ShinInuko 46 points47 points ago

      Also, as a guy filling the dad role of my dear little 2 month old, the only "naked" or "bath" pictures I have, will ever have, and would show off, have at least her genitalia and backside covered by a towel. Only people that are going to see her nude is me, the mother, relatives babysitting while she's pre-potty trained, and her husband/life partner when she's 30 and betrothed.

        [–]FallingSnowAngel 19 points20 points ago

        I wouldn't take those statistics as a hard science. Because I have a sex phobia, in part caused by molestation from my foster sister, a lot of people have opened up to me about their own experiences being raped or molested. Often an attack in childhood came from a woman. Not one of them reported it to the police - it was always a kind of private betrayal - "Why would my mother/my sister/my babysitter/my friend do this?" I never once heard the word "pedophile".

        [–]auralgasm 18 points19 points ago*

        No, your link says that 86% of people who were abused by women were not believed, not that 86% of abuse victims were abused by women. If you actually follow the link to its parent URL, it says that 25% of all sexual abusers are women. I think you should also consider that many children don't have a father in their life at all and more babysitters are women, so there is a proportion issue in there. There are many more women with the opportunity to molest a kid than men.

        [–]brebnahbrau[!] 5 points6 points ago

        I see "Victims by Perpertrator Relationship" above - with women sitting at double the men's figures @ 37.7%.

        [–]SetToGeek 4 points5 points ago

        Well, you're both right. The unsourced chart says that, but the sourced webpage said that the BBC program "Ultimate Taboo: Child Sex Abuse By Women" said that "a surprising 86% of survivors of sexual abuse were not believed when they said the abuser was a woman" and "women commit 25% of all child sexual abuse". That said, the program's name makes it sound a bit biased, so weigh that against that it is a BBC program.

        [–]satereader 8 points9 points ago

        So, we should apply stereotypes in order to decide what is acceptable for a person's behavior? Noted.

        [–]ericphilbin 1 point2 points ago

        No, but we do. It's a sad fact of life.

        [–]mindaika 38 points39 points ago

        In America, ~100% of men are assumed to be pedophiles (up to and including the parent of the child in question).

        [–]FeierInMeinHose 25 points26 points ago

        Don't forget that in a divorce, men should never get the kids or any support at all; it was all the man's fault the marriage didn't work, anyways.

        [–]earl_sleek 13 points14 points ago

        Don't forget that if you're wrongfully thrown in jail you will be required to pay the full amount of your missed child support while incarcerated, failing to do so will cause you to go back to prison.

            Do you have stats to back your 'statistically speaking' claim? Without stats supporting the claim, I would actually consider that a sexually biased claim based on stereotypes imposed by the society.

            [–]schneidmaster 1 point2 points ago

            Maybe so, but that still probably doesn't make it kosher to apply stereotypes. For example, statistically, black people commit crimes at a higher rate in America than white people; but that doesn't mean that I should assume that black people are criminals.

              They would probably giggle. Because /r/mensrights is a pretty good place for discussion on the inequalities facing different genders in today's world. Granted, there are the occasional rants, but you have those on every single sub reddit. (I'd love to see an /r/pickle rant! )

              In conclusion, you have a narrow view of what that sub reddit is really for. It's for compiling stories of inequality in order to use them in efforts to gain some logical middle ground.

                        Are either of these really socially acceptable? I mean I feel like most people would be sort of weirded out if someone specifically was pointing out their baby's penis or vagina.

                        [–]FaroutIGE 1 point2 points ago

                        The title of this comic has ALWAYS* weirded me out. It should be "Things only mothers can do". Even if you swap in guys for the first frame, its still fucking weird for them to talk about their baby's genitalia.

                        *ALWAYS because its a fucking repost. :)

                        I've learned to never mention mensrights, because as neutral as I am when I mention them, there's alway a half dozen guys who start giving me shit about something.

                        [–]hardwarequestions 4 points5 points ago

                        i can't speak for everyone at /mr, or any of the subreddits that consider themselves our opposite/opponent/etc, but sorry to hear people give you shit for mentioning the subreddit. has this happened recently at all? can you recall any usernames involved?

                        it's true most people who partake in gender debate believe in their side very strongly, but many of us try to keep things calm and level-headed.

                        [–]Aspel 11 points12 points ago

                        I've been to r/mensrights a few times and found them to be the same kind of people you'd find on /r/shitredditsays for the most part. Not as bad, mind you, but still very... misogynist. Which is a shame, because men do get shafted a bit in our society, and you can't fix the world by focusing on women. But a lot of the stuff I've seen those few times is along the lines of the rhetoric I've seen from women hating InCels.

                        Although I will admit that I kind of want to ask /r/mensrights what they think of transgender people and gender variant people.

                        EDIT: I looked through my comment history, and it may have to do with me associating with a fellow named anti-SRS. He's been warning people that their comments made it to the front page of SRS

                          I'm a regular at /r/MensRights and I'm 100% fine with transgender people. Some of the issues we talk about don't really apply to them, like the mess that is the family court system but others, like domestic violence legislation may well affect them.

                          There aren't any trans people posting there that I know about, but I expect they would be welcome.

                          [–]temp9876 15 points16 points ago

                          There are several trans contributors actually.

                          Forgive my ignorance, but why exactly doesn't that issue apply to transgender people?

                          [–]dermanus 1 point2 points ago

                          It may well, I don't know very much about how trans people are treated in the courts. The problem is that the judge automatically grants custody to the woman and treats the man as nothing more than a source of income.

                          Right now I think the main problem for trans people is getting their marriages acknowledged at all, never mind getting to the divorce stage.

                          [–]scoooot 0 points1 point ago

                          It may well

                          [–]Aspel 0 points1 point ago

                          I'd expect that many transpeople on Reddit don't feel welcome because of a lot of the subtle or overt misogyny that seems to come that way. Not saying that it's every poster, just...

                          [–]dermanus 23 points24 points ago

                          In my experience misogynistic comments are quickly downvoted. Right now there is an post on the front page discussing an extremely misogynistic article that a sometimes submitter had written. Read it for yourself. The vast majority of the comments condemn the author.

                          You're right that there is anger, but many of the people in that subreddit have been very badly treated by the legal system, and anger is an appropriate response to injustice.

                          [–]Aspel 2 points3 points ago

                          Yes, but a lot of the time it seems like the injustice has been committed by other men, and the anger is directed towards women. A lot of the problems with men's rights issues are men's fault. I mean, from the social standpoint, it's not really the women's fault that I, a male bodied person, can't wear a skirt or kiss dudes or any of that.

                          Also, while I can't remember reading anything about men being raped as often as women, or that most of those rapes are carried out by women, but... I wish I hadn't read this, because it makes my crotch hurt:

                          some skeezy woman shoves a q-tip up his half-limp dick and mounts him...

                          [–]LanceCoolie 2 points3 points ago

                          I'm pretty sure that q-tip thing is an urban legend. They told us that story in the Marines to try and warn us of the perils of going home with strange women.

                          [–]dermanus 5 points6 points ago

                          The q-tip thing was posted a while ago. It made me squirm too.

                          To most of us over there it doesn't really matter who is committing the injustice, just that it is being committed. Whether it's a male judge giving a women a lesser sentence for the same crime, or a female judge awarding custody because "women are more nurturing", the problem is the same.

                          That's the main reason you'll see most of us jump on somebody who starts ranting about women. We actually have a number of female posters who are very articulate (and more hard-line than I am).

                          If you're curious, girlwriteswhat is my favourite and she has very good Youtube videos.

                            That said, most isn't really misogyny to be honest, just playful banter that can be mistaken as such. I've seen people bitch about stuff that were only jokes a lot of times around.

                            [–]victordavion 2 points3 points ago

                            I don't get what misogyny has to do with transgendered people? Misogyny only affects women, so if you're transgendered woman, what's the transgender part have to do with anything?

                            [–]soobtoob 1 point2 points ago

                            Why are you assuming that a transgender person, or the concept of being transgender, implied being more female than male? About 25% of people who go through SRS are FtM.

                            [–]Aspel 1 point2 points ago

                            I'd reckon that female to males don't like misogyny either. You'll either be going towards or coming away from a female perspective as a transgender person.

                            It'd sort of be like... I don't know, making fat jokes around someone who got teased for being fat in school and worked hard and became thin and sexy and handsome. Still painful, even if that's in the past.

                              I went to the SRS IRC channel once, it's amazing how many people there are racist against white people.

                              One of them said that it's worse for a white person to say "kill whitey" as a joke than it is for a black person to say "kill whitey" seriously.

                              Those guys are ridiculous.

                              So I just checked out /r/shitredditsays for the first time. What a depressing, reactionary, humorless place. I dunno if that bothers me more, or the fact that the entire subreddit is designed to game the voting system to force their brand of "justice". Or the obvious misandry.

                              I used to be subscribed to mensrights, but dropped it after seeing one to many irrational posts. As a male though, I don't care one way or the other about transgender people. Whatever makes you happy ya know?

                              [–]Aspel 23 points24 points ago

                              SRS is a horrible place. Members of that subreddit have, since about December and January, been trying to tear apart the LGBT and transgender subreddits. It's really quite sad to see them talk out of one side of their mouth about justice while they're intentionally tearing something apart that they claim to protect.

                              Also, personally, I think that feminism and men's rights both are stupid because they focus on half of an issue. I prefer to support human rights.

                              Exactly. I don't support the rights of women, gays, or minorities because they're women, gays, or minorities, I support their rights because they're human. I think MR quite often can be a cesspool of misogyny and hatred, but I'm glad it's there just because nobody else is talking about those issues. Similarly, I'm glad that even the most extremist feminists are there, because nobody is talking about the things they are talking about.

                              [–]Aspel 6 points7 points ago

                              Personally, I feel extremism hurts a cause, and saying as much is why I'm banned on /r/transgender and /r/lgbt. I was labeled a 'concern troll' whenever I pointed out that maybe vitriol and violent outbursts might not be helpful.

                              [–]acolossalbear 1 point2 points ago

                              The reason the men's rights movement exists is because feminism refused to focus on male issues whatsoever. It'd be great if we only had one equality group, but we didn't, and therefore a second had to be formed in order to cover everything else.

                              [–]Aspel 0 points1 point ago

                              I've actually heard many feminists say that feminism cares about men's rights because gender stereotypes and inequalities hurt us all. And it seems a little silly to make your own little clubhouse because they wouldn't invite you instead of making a more inclusive clubhouse.

                              [–]TheSacredParsnip 1 point2 points ago

                              I started reading and commenting in r/mensrights after a 2x post where the general consensus was 'men don't need more rights'. I think that's the main reason for the mens rights subreddit. I'm only basing this off of comments there but it seems like some feminists are interested in helping everyone, but first they want to get some stuff done for women. Once they get their agenda worked out then they'll start helping men with their problems. It just makes more sense for men to branch off and work on their own thing while feminism focuses on their issues.

                              [–]Aspel 0 points1 point ago

                              Seems to me like both problems would get solved by working together. Although I will admit a lot of men's rights issues just don't make sense to me.

                              Men are in power. So why do male judges always seem to be siding with unfit mothers instead of loving fathers?

                              [–]TheSacredParsnip 1 point2 points ago

                              Seems to me like both problems would get solved by working together.

                              Agreed. As you've mentioned though, it's hard to get both sides to agree on what's actually an issue.

                              Men are in power. So why do male judges always seem to be siding with unfit mothers instead of loving fathers?

                              The general consensus seems to be that there are more women voters and the judges are looking for those votes. I don't know how true that is. It seems far-fetched to me. I think it's more of an old-world style of thinking that these old judges have. But, you'll find a fair amount of guys/gals in the mensrights subreddit that speak out against men like this. The men that are in power, creating unjust laws and putting innocent men in jail, are a huge part of the problem. The idea of mensrights shouldn't be a fight with feminism or women in general, it should be about fighting unjust treatment in all forms.

                                  Nothing official. A few days ago GirlWritesWhat asked for some input from any members who broke the stereotypical /Mr mold. It provided some demographic info. There have been other threads like that over the years. The info just sort of comes to surface and people remember it.

                                  If you would like more info please feel free to post a message asking /mr members to share their opinions on transgendered people.

                                  Please don't conflate dislike of feminism with misogyny. Feminism, as an academic theory, contains a lot of dubious concepts and it's entirely possible to have a low opinion of feminism while still respecting women.

                                  MRAs are more accepting of transgendered people than many feminists are. In fact, one of r/mensrights' moderators is trangendered.

                                  Being transgendered is a bannable offense on a lot of feminist forums. They aren't viewed as "real women" but men (in the case of MtF) encroaching on women's spaces.

                                  [–]Aspel 2 points3 points ago

                                  Really? A transgender moderator of /r/mensrights? Interesting. Female to male, I assume? Which, it's also interesting to note that Womyn born Womyn venues still allow female to male people to join.

                                  Also, I dislike feminism while still respecting women. It's just that Men's Rights issues often sound like Feminism from a male standpoint. That is, making claims that are just as dubious. I can't hate /r/mensrights as easily as I can /r/atheism, but I have seen a few posts there that reminded me of SRS.

                                  As I said elsewhere, though, I think both Feminism and Men's Rights are stupid; I prefer to look at Human Rights.

                                  Really? A transgender moderator of /r/mensrights? Interesting. Female to male, I assume?

                                  Ma99ie is M2F.

                                  Which, it's also interesting to note that Womyn born Womyn venues still allow female to male people to join.

                                  Some of them might, but not all of them. Example:

                                  We are female-identified, women-born women and are collectively anti-pornography, anti-prostitution, trans-critical, and PIV-critical. Many of us have specialized interests as well, such as motherhood, post-modernism and what it did to feminism, the harms of penis-in-vagina sex (PIV), the “transexual/transgender” movement, femininity, and the “sex industry.”

                                  And from their comment policy:

                                  The discussions on this blog are reserved for women. Female-born, women-identified women are welcome to take part. This means that no male-born or male-identified person is given a platform to speak in this space. An amazing thing happens when women-identified women have the chance to speak, away from the carnivorous and necrophiliac behaviors of men.

                                  I'm always wondered how feminists who are against "Penis-in-vagina sex" expect society to last if they were able to outlaw such a thing.

                                  Also, what of XX Males, I wonder?

                                  Although I suppose asking such questions gets in the way of eating and raping this corpse, omnomnom.

                                  Really? A transgender moderator of [1] /r/mensrights? Interesting. Female to male, I assume?

                                  I'm not sure who this is (I pay literally no attention to mods), but why would you assume that? There are certainly women in /r/mensrights who contribute. The subreddit isn't really about men's rights, frankly, as it is about voicing opinions about injustices that appear in our society that affect men, and are mostly pushed forward by the feminist movement in a blind rush towards privileging themselves. You should really check it out--it isn't (for the most part) misogynistic.

                                  I don't usually go to subreddits like that. That's why I've sort of stopped paying all that much attention to /r/ainbow or /r/transspace. I've got my own problems to deal with, I'm actually sort of regretting opening my mouth about it in the first place :I

                                  [–]TheJumboShrimp 5 points6 points ago

                                  Actually, I'm trans. I made a post which is relevant to your interest.

                                  [–]Aspel 5 points6 points ago

                                  Does seem rather relevant. I can't help but notice that a lot of men are all "why can girls crossdress" but if you suggest they just do it, they're all "nah, I ain't no homo or nothin'".

                                  It's interesting, I'll give you that. Maybe one of the problems is that I've seen /r/mensrights mostly from the female perspective, linked either by SRS goons or people like /r/girlgamers or /r/2xchromosomes talking about issues and interreddit dramas. I'm still not quite convinced that it's the most accepting place, but it doesn't seem as bad as I had previously thought, at least from this.

                                  [–]DeathHamsterDude 5 points6 points ago

                                  I go to mensrights. Why would I care about transgendered people? Totally fine with me. A non-issue, and completely unrelated to men's rights. Sure, there are probably people there who don't like them, but go to anywhere on reddit and you'll find that. Personsally, I've never once seen a post bashing transgendered people there.

                                  Also, yeah, there are misogynists there, but I really think you're wrong in painting the subreddit like that. The vast majority of people there are for men's rights, not against the rights of women. Seriously, who do feminists not then get branded as misandrists by the rest of reddit because they look out for women's rights? It seems that the term misogyny is used very readily by people who don't know what it means, who think that disagreeing or arguing with a woman makes you one.

                                  [–]Aspel 4 points5 points ago

                                  I'd say that a man's right to become a woman (or a woman's right to become a man) is a men's rights issue. I don't think I've heard of them bashing transgender people, I'm just saying that misogyny turns many transpeople off; usually they're either coming from being women or becoming women.

                                  Also, as a counterpoint, a lot of feminists are misandrists. The folks at SRS especially, although often I feel that they don't actually care about the issues at hand, they're just out to tear down things and stand up for the little guy that doesn't actually want those shrill harpies standing up for them.

                                  [–]DeathHamsterDude 3 points4 points ago

                                  Well, broadly, yes, it is a men's rights issue, but I would judge it more as a human right than a man's right. You should legally be allowed to change your gender, and after that, you should be allowed all of the rights that your new gender has. Simple as. Few would disagree with me, and then not from a men's rights perspective I reckon, but rather from a religious viewpoint or good old fashioned bigotry.

                                  There you go throwing around that word again. Misogyny. Don't use it so often. I think the perceived misogyny of /r/MensRights is far far greater than it actually is. Feminist blogs latch onto any post they see that further reinforces their view of MRA, and tellingly ignore the rest that would change their views. I'm not sure if you're aware of the MRA 'women done stole my sperm' trolling debacle from last week? Jezebel (a Feminist site) covered it (link) and they cherrypicked the worst replies from that thread. The majority of which were buried or downvoted to hell. There was no mention of the fact that a/ most everyone assumed it was fake (Jezebel reported that we were so very very eager to have our views reinforced that we didn't doubt it for a second), that b/ we were all on the man's side (nearly everyone told the OP that what he had done was wrong) and c/ that we condone violence against women (we don't generally; we also don't condone violence against men, which is something that I have seen some feminist blogs brush off as inconsequential). Besides that there are the obvious problems with that post, and how very biased it is, and how it leaves out or skews the facts numerous times for it's own purpose.

                                  So yeah, of course there are misogynists, misandrists, and misanthropes. Of course there are. There are misandrist men, and there are misogynist women. But the vast majority of feminists I know (I don't put myself among them as I identify as an egalitarian, as I think everyone in their right mind should) are lovely people, who are intelligent and rational. The same can be said about those MRA's and saying that you don't like it is the same as saying you never swim in the ocean because you might get eaten by a shark. Possible, yes, but not overly likely.

                                  [–]Aspel 3 points4 points ago

                                  you should be allowed all of the rights that your new gender has.

                                  Ah, but there's the rub: Shouldn't the genders both have the same rights?

                                  Also, what the fuck did I just read? Everything I've read from Jezebel has been stupid shit about TV shows I don't care about.

                                  [–]DeathHamsterDude 1 point2 points ago

                                  Oh yeah, of course, insofar as their gender allows. I totally agree with you, I might just not have made that point as well as I could have.

                                  Yeah, most of Jezebel is like that, but it spews this crap from time to time. It was just a link, and one that made my point for me.

                                    Could it be because the "pee pee" sticks out and can be seen when the baby boy is just sitting there, where as the "vagina" (there's not even a baby word for it! THAT'S a reason why too!) can only really be seen with spread legs... ??

                                    The sexualization of infants should probably stop. On one hand, its unremarkable your baby has a penis. We know. And we don't need to be reminded. We don't ACTUALLY care. On the other, its not a depraved act of pedophilia to take a picture of your child. They're little kids, and frankly the us is in the minority about being made uncomfortable by nudity. Its quite natural. I promise.
