Flagged for the title implying men have no rights. That's totally uncalled for and I hope such submission titles are not allowed here.

Flagged for the title implying men have no rights. That's totally uncalled for and I hope such submission titles are not allowed here.
- graemep 9mo agoI agree with the underlying point and the social bias it reflects (which i have experienced myself) but the title here is (as usual) just the article so The Guardian is to blame rather than HN. I think the solution is not to disallow the titles, but to comment on them and draw attention to the sexism in the article.
- bmacho 9mo agoThe solution is absolutely disallow offending titles. The same principle that would make HN moderators take down a "Kill all the Jews" title from the front page should apply for this one too. Submission titles should be the original article titles, as long as those aren't problematic.
- graemep 9mo agoIts not as offensive. I agree this is problematic, but I am inclined to see it as an opportunity to discuss the problem and illustrate how widespread it is. We can also mention real issues, such as about half of all domestic abuse victims in the UK are male (if you count emotional abuse, otherwise its still 40%), more than half of rapes in the US are of men (because of the huge number of prison rapes), etc.

- jraph 9mo agoI don't think this title implies this. The title says "There were sexualised AI images of women and children, and the UK threatens X over this". What more than this do you read in this title? Is there actually a significant number of problematic sexualised AI images of men on X that the title fails to mention? If not, the follow-up question would be: what are you actually complaining about, exactly? Women are often sexualised, way more than men. Would it be more comfortable to you if this fact was invisibilized?

- moralestapia 9mo agoAgree 100% and thanks for bringing this up. Sexual abuse towards men is as prevalent as it is towards women.
- chrisjj 9mo agoThe HN title is true to the source and should not be flagged.
- saaaaaam 9mo agoThe title is the title of the article published by the Guardian. It has not been editorialised by the person submitting the article. If you have an issue with the title of the article flagging the submission is not hugely useful. Email the editor.
