| 1 | German court fines model 20.000€ for making false rape accusationsApparently. Well, you don't do a very good job expressing yourself. The law has fundamentally shifted in the cases like this Ok. The law was slightly different 50 years ago. Why are you pointing that out? to the point where jail time isn't a norm. Citation needed. Jail time is so far outside the norm now that fines are considered an acceptable answer. That's not how the law works in Germany. Fines are considered an acceptable answer because it's written in the law. | /r/MensRights | 23/08/16 07:05 PM |

| 1 | Part of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight bit on revenge porn was sexistThe connection here is that the plaintiff would have to show that they informed the defendant that the defendant--despite being given a copy of the photo in question--did not actually own the photo, but merely had access to it (which will be difficult to do). The presumption, in the court's eyes, would be that the photo was gift (and hence ownership), unless it could be proven otherwise. This might be or might not be the case in a given jurisdiction.

| 0 | Part of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight bit on revenge porn was sexistI made an assumption based on what type of RP I thought was most prevalent Why would you do that? You made the assumption that you know the intent of my action And I was correct, too! and also implied that I should've "learned" Not at all, you said you understand the concept. Apparently not. your lack of ability to argue the point. How would you know, you are still stumbling through the woods trying to find the damn thing.

You assume people who post "revenge porn" online have been given full legal ownership of these pictures.

| 7 | The double standard of having a choice on whether or not you want to be a parent.Because they both have equal power, yet she is still the one that has to face the medical risk of gestation, birth, recovery and, potentially, the risk her future fertility. So why not let the mother decide if she wants to go through with the pregnancy, but let both parents individually decide if they want to a) bring up the child b) just financially support it c) none of the above? That way the mother still has more rights than the father, but not as much more as she has today. | /r/MensRights | 29/09/12 11:56 AM |

| 1 | Why are atheists so religious? PZ Myers and the religion of feminismThe point is, an "agnostic rainist" is obviously agnostic about rainism. Ah, I see. That is not what it means. If that were what it means, "agnostic rainist" would be synonymous with "agnistic arainist", because they refer to the same topic. However, the "rainist" or "arainist" part expresses an opinion about wheter it is going to rain, it is not just a reference to the topic. | /r/MensRights | 09/02/12 10:16 AM |
| 1 | Why are atheists so religious? PZ Myers and the religion of feminismAre you serious? If you answer "I don't know" to the question "Will it rain?", your statement is, that you don't know whether it will rain or not. Same goes for the simple "yes" and "no" answers. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/12 02:16 PM |

| 1 | Why are atheists so religious? PZ Myers and the religion of feminismJust because you don't get it does not mean it doesn't make sense. Take a non-religious example here: "Will it rain tomorrow?" gnostic rainism: "It sure will!" agnostic rainism: "I think so, but what do I know?" gnostic arainism: "No, it won't!" agnostic arainism: "I don't think so, but what do I know?" agnosticism: "How would I know?!" rainism: "Yes" arainism: "No" | /r/MensRights | 08/02/12 12:20 AM |
| 0 | Why are atheists so religious? PZ Myers and the religion of feminismagnostic/gnostic and and atheism/theism are about different aspects of the phylosophical view. You may combine them to be more specific, but they work fine on their own. If you say "I'm a Theist", you did not say if you are sure your beliefs are true. If you say "I'm an agnostic", you did not make a statement whether you believe there are gods or not. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/12 12:07 AM |

| 1 | Why are atheists so religious? PZ Myers and the religion of feminismA belief is not necessarily a claim of absolute knowledge. Well then most atheists are agnostic atheists. Good for them. That does not affect my point. The agnostic atheists acknowledges that he can't be shure, but he thinks/believes there is no god. The agnostic theists acknowledges that he can't be shure, but he thinks/believes there is a god. If you just acknowledge that you can't know whether there is a god or not, and you don't have any belief in that regard, you are not an atheist. You are… | /r/MensRights | 07/02/12 10:24 PM |

| 0 | Why are atheists so religious? PZ Myers and the religion of feminismAgnostic is an adjective you can stick on your atheism or theism. You denied the existance of agnostic as a noun. That is just plain wrong. And that is why a dictionary is required. | /r/MensRights | 07/02/12 03:38 PM |

| 1 | The woman was arrested for having sex with a minor. But the court suspended the woman's sentence when the boy told the court that the couple are in love and they plan to get married.If he decided he was in love AFTER the event of abuse, as he apparently did, As he apparently did? Where does that come from? All the article says is this: "The boy said that the court made him out to be a victim when that was not the case. He claims that he made all the moves on his teacher." You can't just imply Stockholm Syndrome for no reason! | /r/MensRights | 26/01/12 08:45 PM |
| 3 | The woman was arrested for having sex with a minor. But the court suspended the woman's sentence when the boy told the court that the couple are in love and they plan to get married.I think both genders are effected by rape very gravely. My point was that one should distinguish between rape and abuse of minors, and I don't quite understand why people have an issue with that. | /r/MensRights | 26/01/12 12:33 PM |

| -2 | The woman was arrested for having sex with a minor. But the court suspended the woman's sentence when the boy told the court that the couple are in love and they plan to get married.I'm sure you could convince an eight year old to willingly have sex with you, too. I seriously doubt that, when they did not hit puberty yet. Apart from that: It's abuse and it should be punished. But if the boy wanted it for whatever reason, e.g. his mental immaturity, it was not rape. Therefore the Stockholm argument is invalid. I agree that the judgement in this case is wrong. I just disagree, that the boy was not a credible attestor. EDIT: How about a counter-argument so the downvotes don't … | /r/MensRights | 26/01/12 11:08 AM |

| 1 | I Have Female Privilege.I see your point, thank you for elaborating. My conclusion of your argument would be, to handle debates about privileges even more carefully, but not to avoid them. In my view, your example of inequal sentencing could be discussed either as a discrimination or a privilege issue, without to necessarily alter in any single argument or outcome. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/12 06:50 PM |
| 6 | I Have Female Privilege.So how is a debate about privilege any less expedient than a debate about discrimination? (If that was your point at all) | /r/MensRights | 21/01/12 04:19 PM |
| 3 | I Have Female Privilege.I am sorry, but I don't really get what you are trying to say. Isn't a privilege due to race, sex, religion,... equivalent to discrimination due to OTHER race, sex, religion,...? | /r/MensRights | 21/01/12 03:47 PM |
| 2 | Why is "It's my body" a good argument when it comes to abortion, but not to circumcision?These arguments also apply to women, who even can take birth control pills. If men for whatever reason fail to avoid conception, they get no say in the future of the child. If women for whatever reason fail to avoid conception, they can decide about the child's future all by themselves. | /r/MensRights | 17/01/12 04:08 PM |
