| 1 | Paternity tests, women's reactionThat's exactly what I described. He was named the father by the woman and the government went after him for child support. The point of contention in that case is whether he was served or not. The government says they served him notice but he didn't appear at the court hearing. However, he says they never did because he happened to be in jail at the time. It was NOT that the mom named him father, hid it for two years, and then there was nothing he could do. | /r/MensRights | 12/07/15 06:27 PM |
| 2 | Paternity tests, women's reactionPaternity is only presumed if you're married to the woman. If women could name Bill Gates as the father, hide it for two years, sue for child support, and have there be nothing he could do about it then thousands of women would have already tried. | /r/MensRights | 11/07/15 07:42 PM |
| 2 | Paternity tests, women's reactionExcept that's not true. Otherwise, famous athletes and actors would be paying child support to thousands of children. Generally, either her or the government will go after the alleged father for child support. At this point, he'll be served notice and has a certain period of time to dispute it. | /r/MensRights | 11/07/15 03:59 PM |
| 3 | The male Pill is coming - and it's going to change everything. New forms of male contraception are estimated to hit the market in two years and - unlike women's options - most won't contain hormones.That's not how it works. A woman can't just name anybody as a father once her kid reaches a certain age and have there be nothing he can do about it. If that was the case, famous actors and athletes would be paying child support to thousands of women. In reality, the mother will apply for government benefits or go after him directly for child support. He'll receive notice and it's at this point where he has a certain time period to dispute paternity. | /r/MensRights | 19/06/15 01:29 AM |

| 5 | GotNews: We Found "Adam" Of The Columbia Fake Rape HoaxIs it, though? If publishing someone's name and picture alone counts as doxxing, then the term is rendered meaningless.

Don't EVER get married guys, apparently even a signed legal agreement won't stop you getting fucked over.It depends on what's in it and if the spouse's signature is view as "coerced". For example, you can generally only protect pre-marital assets in a prenup.

But for some reason, the horrors of the crime are not as readily acknowledged when the victim happens to NOT be a white woman."Rape culture was actually first used to describe what happens in the prison system. Prison rape is not only tolerated but actively encouraged. People view it as part of the punishment; as if committing a crime means you deserve to be raped.

While I agree "revenge porn" should probably be illegal, I can't help feeling like it's going to be yet another large weapon in the ammo box for false accusers.Is the analogy here really that complicated? I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and ask since only an idiot would claim distributing sexually explicit pictures (that somebody consented to take and gave them to the offender) should be treated the same as raping somebody. Only an idiot would fail to see how criminalizing such behavior could run afoul of the First Amendment. And only fucking moron would fail to see how the government could abuse such power.

While I agree "revenge porn" should probably be illegal, I can't help feeling like it's going to be yet another large weapon in the ammo box for false accusers.Even if it's not classified legally as sexual assault, I think... The law and the justice system do not care about your feelz or what you think should be a crime. It's specifically designed to immune to emotional appeals. It's violating to publish pictures of somebody's naked body without their consent, and it has definite sexual connotations that make it more than just defamation.

While I agree "revenge porn" should probably be illegal, I can't help feeling like it's going to be yet another large weapon in the ammo box for false accusers.What point are you trying to make exactly? That forcing someone to have sex against their will is on the same level posting a picture on the internet? As I've said before, those who post revenge porn should be taken to civil court and made to pay reparations to their victims. I have yet to see a convicing legal argument for expanding the government's prosecutorial powers. | /r/MensRights | 03/12/14 06:13 PM |

Please cite the criminal statute that defines sexual assault in such a manner. Further, if it meets such a requirement why can't prosecutors use the already existing statute?

It's ironic that she's stolen most of her game footage from Let's Play videos but couldn't find any with players killing the women. She had to actually play the game and do it herself. You'd think if players were so incentivized, she'd be able to find examples of it on youtube somewhere.

Actually, there is a mission where you chase a woman and try to retrieve a stolen film from her. At one point she run in front of a jet turbine and gets killed. This is the only time in the game where a woman dies. Further, you don't actually kill her nor does your character have the intention to do so.

| 2 | Lying to a someone about your net-worth is rape?This law is unconstitutionally broad and would likely get struck down if it ever passed. Specifically, where it says it's an act of rape if the accused "has represented he is someone he is not." Literally anything could be rape under this statute. Lied about your height or weight? Rape. Lied about your job? Rape. Said you would call the next day? Rape.
