2	Is abortion when your partner is unwilling alright? 1.Do you believe that it is appropriate to explore the feasibility of granting fathers some legal say to contest abortion in certain circumstances? Personally, I believe that this question is worth pondering for certain circumstances, such as when -the pregnancy is an informed and mutually inclusive decision of a married/committed couple and; -there are no reasonable grounds to believe that there is significant risk of health implications for the mother and child should the pregnancy be carried …	/r/MensRights	06/07/21 10:25 PM
1	Why do women only have a say in abortion/child support? No I am not. Do refer to the conditions imposed in qn1, which are non-exhaustive. It is noteworthy that under the framework of most jurisdictions, there is no prerequisite for the termination of pregnancy before the stipulated period of viability. In fact, it is not necessary for an expecting mother to provide any reason or justification for her decision to abort her child. It is not even required for her to inform the father of her child regarding her decision, no matter the nature of her relat…	/r/MensRights	23/04/21 01:08 AM

7	I need help convincing my wife not to get my son circumcised. -fundamentally, an individual's body is their inherent right. One should not forcibly impose any irreversible modification upon another without their explicit consent, much less the removal of such an integral and functional portion of a child's body without him even having the capacity to be informed. One can always choose to undergo circumcision on his own accord should he himself deems so. Nonetheless, IMO it is unnecessary to bring up the double standard perception when it comes to female ge…	/r/MensRights	08/10/20 02:54 AM
2	Pro choice for men I live in Singapore where the birth rate is one of the lowest in the world. Unlike many other countries, we do not have the equivalence of safe haven laws, which is mostly for the good in my pov, although I will contend that there exist circumstances where such arrangement is suitable. Moreover, although there exists huge disparity, married fathers are entitled to 2 weeks of paid parental leave and additional shared paid parental leave of up to 4 weeks, subjected to the discretion of their count…	/r/MensRights	08/10/20 01:37 AM
2	Pro choice for men Thanks for your elucidation, and please do not be sorry for any of your view points. I am not aware of your nationality. However, public policies and sociocultural norms differ across regions. In the context of my country, there is a very strong societal expectation for children's well-being and there exist robust policies to reinforce that notion. Be that as it may, I fully agree with your sentiments pertaining to the weaponising of such a noble notion to justify inequitable legislations, polic…	/r/MensRights	07/10/20 03:30 PM

1	Just Curious, if a woman pokes a hole in a man's condom is she considered 'stealthing' as well? Is there any legal precedent for this like there is for a man doing the same thing to a female?(Rape) In Singapore, a new legislation which took effect from this year protects both men and women from sexual deception and false representation. However, from its provisions, it seems like the protection rendered to men is limited to the scope of STDs. For women however, the scope covers both STDs and unintended pregnancy. The distinction is as follows. (B represents the victim) (c) a “sexually protective measure” means — (i) where B is female, a device, drug or medical procedure to prevent pregnanc…	/r/MensRights	07/10/20 12:21 AM
1	Opinions on abortion Hi sorry for the late response. Please note that this is just my personal POV. Also what if the father wants to keep the child but the mother wants to abort. Personally it really depends on the context. If some or all (or even more) criteria I listed in my perspective to qn 1 are fulfilled, I believe it will be reasonable to examine the feasibility to grant the father the right to have his child delivered. Be that as it may, it is almost unbearable to imagine the kind of dynamics where an expect…	/r/MensRights	03/10/20 02:53 PM

1	Physical punishment is only allowed against boys in Singapore My absolute pleasure. In fact I am truly glad that people are seemingly starting to realise such hypocrisies and blatant unfairness.	/r/MensRights	11/09/20 08:26 AM
2	Physical punishment is only allowed against boys in Singapore Sir, that is incorrect on multiple aspects. Firstly, you have it backwards. Outrage of modesty refers to molestation or non-penetrative sexual assault. Insult of modesty refers to sexual harassment. Secondly, from January 2020 onwards, equal (largely) protection are accorded to males with regards to sexual harassment. This is through the repeal of S509 and enactment of S377BA. However, pertaining to modesty laws, females still enjoy more comprehensive protection. Certain relevant (and perhaps su…	/r/MensRights	11/09/20 08:15 AM
2	Physical punishment is only allowed against boys in Singapore Unfortunately I have no idea when the revision occurred. However, I am rather certain that its been more than a year. Your school may have contravened MOE's guidelines.	/r/MensRights	11/09/20 07:53 AM
3	Physical punishment is only allowed against boys in Singapore Glad that you found this enlightening. Unfortunately in SG, conversations regarding gender inequality are often superficial and loaded with misinformation and partiality. It is undeniable that females enjoy more statutory rights and protection and males are burdened with more statutory liabilities. Not to discredit or deny women's issues in any way, but it is a shame that female issues are often in the spotlight and are top priorities year after year whereas merely discussing long standing discr…	/r/MensRights	11/09/20 06:02 AM
2	Physical punishment is only allowed against boys in Singapore Indeed. Archaic elements of chivalry and crude gender differentiation are significant factors that require updating. I believe that an overhaul is necessary to bring about legislative coherence relative to the current sociocultural landscape.	/r/MensRights	11/09/20 04:42 AM
4	Physical punishment is only allowed against boys in Singapore It is not a given that parental consent be seeked for the caning of their sons. Seeking of consent is not provisioned under the relevant legislation. From https://singaporelegaladvice.com/law-articles/caning-singapore-judicial-school-parental-corporal-punishment/ Unlike in the case of private tutors, parents are not direct employers and are not in the position to set guidelines for schools. Thus, it is unlikely that parents are able to make a complaint or take action against the school for impos…	/r/MensRights	11/09/20 04:28 AM
1	Physical punishment is only allowed against boys in Singapore Recently, the maximum number of strokes allowed has been reduced from 6 to 3 in Singapore. School caning is divided into 4 tiers in ascending severity. They are namely -Private (usually occurs in the general office), -Classroom (occurs in the classroom in presence of the subject's respective class), -Cohort (occurs on stage in presence of the subject's fellow graders) -Public (occurs on stage in presence of the entire school population).	/r/MensRights	11/09/20 04:09 AM
47	Physical punishment is only allowed against boys in Singapore In Singapore, institutionalised corporal punishment (with the exception of reformative caning) is only legally applicable for males. School caning Pursuant to S88 of the Education (Schools) Regulations, caning is only allowed on boys. Girls are not to be physically punished, regardless of circumstances. Judicial caning Flogging (the nude variant) of males is also a form of punishment for judicial sentences.

5	Singapore school as caning for boys but not girls Yeah my 'condolences'. Nonetheless, there is a marked distinction between ambiguous social protocols, such as sexist teachers choosing to only cane male students and legislative inequality. Singapore belongs to the latter, whereby caning is only prescribable to male subjects. It is illegal to subject females (and only females) to institutionalised corporal punishment.	/r/MensRights	10/09/20 06:31 AM
5	Singapore school as caning for boys but not girls School caning refers to the flogging of clothed posteriors with a rattan cane. Judicial caning refers to the flogging of exposed posteriors (naked) with a rattan cane not exceeding 1.2 m in length and 1.27 cm in diameter. Both punishments are only reserved for males in Singapore.	/r/MensRights	10/09/20 04:22 AM
4	Found this in my school diary (Singaporean school if u wanna look the laws up) Pursuant to S88 of the Education (Schools) Regulations, corporal punishment is only allowed on boys. Girls may not be caned, regardless of circumstances. It is the same for judicial caning. Pursuant to S325 of the Criminal Procedure Code, only males aged 7 to 50 and are medically fit may be caned. Women are exempted from caning by default. Fyi caning is not the only statutory discrimination boys faced in school. Pursuant to S61 of the Education (Schools) Regulations, with regards to medical exam…	/r/PussyPass	10/09/20 01:00 AM

3	Why is there a men’s right movement when feminism is a movement for equality of both genders and not just woman? Notwithstanding the fact that there exists multiple 'strains' of feminism, with some evidently expressing and promoting prejudice solely by virtue of gender, the term 'feminism' in itself implies partiality. I concur with the fundamental principle of which feminism embodies. Nonetheless, if one googles the term 'feminism', the most prominent definition is as follows. "the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes". Although the context varies among different regions, …	/r/MensRights	09/09/20 04:29 AM

3	Someone needs to say it Do you meant what triggered the fight? I cannot recall the details well but a fight between a boy and a girl occurred due to her tearing up his trading cards (I am not aware what led to her actions). It became a brawl that lasted for quite awhile before our teacher caught wind of it and broke up the fight. Both of them were subjected to punishment (writing lines) for fighting. However, only the boy was subjected to the additional punishment (and much more severe) of public flogging (being caned …	/r/MensRights	04/09/20 02:31 PM
4	Someone needs to say it When I was in Primary 3, there was an incident where an intense fight broke out between a girl and a boy in my class. The brawl arose as the girl had deliberately taken and damaged the boy’s treasured Pokémon cards. Thankfully, none of them sustained any serious injuries. For punishment, both were made to write lines. However, on top of writing lines, the boy was publicly caned (on stage) whilst the girl was not subjected to additional repercussion. Just before the caning, the disciplinary maste…	/r/MensRights	04/09/20 07:43 AM
14	I’m being falsely accused for sexual assault. What are my options? Document all relevant items such as texts, messages, calls, photos and seek legal advice. If you possess any credible evidence that suggests defamation you can consider making a police report. Most importantly, be forthright about it and know that you have only your conscience to account for.	/r/MensRights	03/09/20 07:47 AM
20	There is a lot of stories of male rape victims forced to pay child support ! Not to dismiss the detriments and sacrifices of any victims in any way, females do have more avenues for redress, including abortion. On the flip side, it is illegal for anyone, including male victims to coerce their female perpetrators to undergo abortion. This is notwithstanding the fact that in most of such cases, the females (regardless if they are perpetrators or victims) possess sole custody of their children. The males (regardless if they are perpetrators or victims) do not possess any ri…	/r/MensRights	03/09/20 01:36 AM
39	Can someone help a brother out? Raped and forced to pay child support Anyone still remembers this sickening case?

2	35 year old female teacher (allegedly) has illegal sex with a 15 year old male pupil of hers, then threatens to falsely accuse him of rape if he tells the authorities. Agreed. Sexual victimisation is not inherently any less vile because the perpetrator is female. Similarly, a victim is not inherently any less affected by his plight solely because he's male.	/r/MensRights	01/09/20 06:49 PM
2	35 year old female teacher (allegedly) has illegal sex with a 15 year old male pupil of hers, then threatens to falsely accuse him of rape if he tells the authorities. Presumably this case occurred in the UK? In which case it is technically impossible for her to have raped him as rape is a gender-specific offence. A woman cannot be charged with rape, no matter how henious a sexual misconduct she commits.	/r/MensRights	01/09/20 06:46 PM
5	35 year old female teacher (allegedly) has illegal sex with a 15 year old male pupil of hers, then threatens to falsely accuse him of rape if he tells the authorities. this is disgusting Fully concur. In Singapore, we have a similar framework (in accordance with English common law). In fact, prior to Jan 2020, a woman who 'rapes' a male (forces a male to penetrative her with his penis) cannot even be charged with sexual assault involving penetration (lest rape). She can technically only be charged with outraging the modesty of her male victim (aka molestation), which carries a maximum imprisonment term of 2 years. In contrast, a man who commits exactly the sam…	/r/MensRights	01/09/20 06:44 PM
4	How do you respond to ppl who justify male disposability? With regards to the continuation of our species, it is technically true that males are more expendable than females. However, employing this to 'justify' any sorts of discrimination is seemingly moot as the utility of such phenomenon is only relevant in extremely dire situations, such as a doomsday scenario where swift repopulation is of paramount significance. Many people failed to realise that by virtue of accepting this 'justification', one also accepts the notion of polygyny, which I believe…	/r/MensRights	01/09/20 08:03 AM
5	So apparently sexual violence can’t happen to men. It's a tad bit better in Singapore. Sexual assault perpetrated by females is legally recognised early this year. However, rape remained a gender-specific offence.	/r/MensRights	31/08/20 01:51 AM
