We're on a Men's Rights subreddit and I've learnt plenty. It looks to me that the British laws were gynocentric. When a married woman cheats with another man they punish the man. It is as if they have infantilised women and absolved them of their responsibility.

This is interesting. So it seems that a combination of the Islamic Shari'ah and the British civil law has brought about this situation. And looks like they've kept the gynocentric portions only and set aside the provisions which favour men. I'm from a former British colony too (Malaysia). Here we don't have a similar problem as Bangladesh, because the old British family law only applies to non-Muslims, and the full Shari'ah law applies to Muslims.

Divorce is allowed in Islam. In traditional Islam, either the husband divorces the wife (fault or no-fault divorce), or the wife petitions a court for a divorce (fault divorce only, limited list of reasons). The wife cannot no-fault divorce her husband. If the husband no-fault divorces the wife or if the wife obtains a ruling of fault divorce on the husband she gets to keep the Mahr (Mohrana/Denmohor). If fully implemented it should be difficult to have this type of abuse. Not sure why it's happ…

She's correct though. The safer the conditions, the more women are present. That is why we see a higher percentage of women cycling in the Netherlands and Denmark (countries with the best cycling infrastructure) compared to other places. That is also why we see a higher percentage of men in dangerous professions such as mining, deep sea fishing, etc. This is a manifestation of the idea we are all familiar with - male disposability. It is a good thing they cannot segregate bike lanes, because in …

This is in Malaysia where I'm from. We are a mildly traditional conservative society. We have women's coaches on trains, and women's parking at the malls, and some women entrepreneur development programs by the Government. Men's issues are not as severe as in the west. At least we don't have ridiculous divorce, alimony and custody laws, we don't have #metoo hysteria, and in general our society does not vilify men. I don't think this is a big issue. Not like we're missing out so badly.

It could be argued that food is essential whereas drugs and prostitutes are for recreation. On the other hand, if food is essential that might also support an argument for more government action. In any case, anyone going their own way should not need government to protect them from the consequences of their own action.

There are two ways to solve this. Statists/blue pill: The government should step in and impose labeling laws (e.g. Europe does not even allow the word cheese to be used in such things) MGTOW: we use our own intelligence and initiative to research and learn what's in our food

They are trying to sell more of their products for more profit. These fatty and sugary foods are engineered to be almost addictive. Offering free addons translates into more sales. That being said, MGTOW is about personal responsibility - only you can make you fat.
/r/MGTOW15/10/16 11:33 AM

They give you that free cheese and take an insignificant hit in their margin because they are hoping to get you to buy their product again. The increase in sales is worth it. Plus, most of what is "cheese" is actually processed cheese or cheese product. It's supplemented with other oils and fats, making it cheap.

i'd so take my business to him Except it's not a business. It's just some guys hanging out fixing cars and no money changes hands. It shows you the character of men: we like to build, tinker, repair, and improve. Money is good, but we are just as driven by the desire to create and improve. If you went there I don't think he would even accept your money. You'd probably be expected to bring your own replacement parts though.

Marriage is not a contract. In a contract there is mutual consideration: both parties agree to do or refrain from doing something, and if they don't it's breach of contract with legal consequences. With no-fault divorce and the misandric family courts, the obligations are entirely on the man.

Amanda Marcotte misunderstands what no fault divorce is. Under the Republican legal reforms people can still have no fault divorce, but the process is lengthened. All of this is not very relevant to us. If the Republicans and other trad cons really wanted to tackle the divorce issue, they should instead make changes to asset division, alimony and child support, to reduce the financial incentives.

In that case I agree with your position. Education is the best cure for crime and social problems. I am concerned though that the education system is indoctrinating instead of educating. I am also concerned that people are not getting exposure to the diversity of ideas which is a cure, as you rightfully point out. Perhaps though I've just been seeing the extreme cases instead of the general case.

I disagree with the notion that men are potential rapists who need to go to college to cure them of sexism. Also, as we have seen, the diversity of ideas in college is under significant threats: speech codes, SJWs, and silencing tactics. If there is an increase in violence from men it is partly because many boys are raised fatherless. Fatherlessness is correlated with violent criminality, low academic achievement, and poor career/job development.

I could not agree more. To build upon your idea, each stream of the men's movement is a pillar supporting the other. Without MRAs fighting for legal and social rights society may not leave MGTOWs alone to go their own way (e.g. false paternity, bachelor tax). At the same time MGTOW can teach men how to navigate a broken misandric society which the MRAs cannot fix or have not fixed yet. And MGTOW scrutiny can help keep MRAs above board.

You are still young. Every MGTOW has their own path, but many take a while before they reach the point where female attention is completely irrelevant to them. Find patience; literally find it by trying new things and gaining new experiences and see if you can find patience. If female attention is what you desire, but your looks are a problem, you may want to channel your energy into becoming high income/high status. Also, develop a charming personality. However, be careful what you wish for.

Agreed. Problems like corruption and poor development are fixable without blaming the west, and here the victimhood narrative holds back empowerment towards change. I would even argue that where there is legitimate victimisation by the west (invasion, toppling governments, supporting dictators, etc) Muslims still need to stop being obsessed with blame and being the victim and start fixing the situation.

That is besides the point. The point here is that there exists contention. No doubt Abd al Wahab is the most influential of the Salafist scholars, but the followers of his teaching don't even use the term 'Wahabi'.

Speaking of contentious issues, anyone that's spent any amount of time around 'Wahabis' knows the term Wahabi itself it contentious and that those who are referred by this term call themselves Salafists or any number of other terms. The point here is there are plenty of contentious issues.

Muslim here. It's definitely not a perfect comparison, but there are similarities in how they approach their ideology.

It could expand in two directions, both of which are contrary to men's rights: Spousal support could be adjusted taking into account any increased income or windfall a man gets after divorce. Spousal support could be levied on a never-married cohabitation partner 'palimony'. So as MRAs we need to stay vigilant of these developments and act as they arise. I myself am only willing to act in my own jurisdiction, but I do keep track of others.

There are two dimensions to the Paleo question. Firstly and most importantly, is Paleo beneficial to human health? Secondly, does paleo reflect historical and biological reality?

That could be the case, but this article only describes happiness of women when they see negative emotions. The article aside, I would agree that a man going his own way would do well to avoid showing emotions, and indirectly showing vulnerability. An exception might be displaying emotion strategically, for example to manage female attention, but it really depends on the extent of that MGTOW's disengagement from women and society.

Headline aside, the article claims that it's not the upset which makes women happy, it's that they can read those negative emotions.

Depending on your jurisdiction, the court may punish you for doing that. Some US jurisdictions look at what you ought to be able to earn instead of your actual income.

Within the MRM I agree, since we're all exposed and open to these ideas it becomes acceptable coming from men or women.

I don't disagree with you. The thing is the language of the SCRA leaves no discretion for the judge in granting a stay of proceedings. In this case it appears that the judge has just ignored federal law that has given her no discretion.

Yes the wigs are weird too and there's always the occasional proposal that we get rid of them. These proposals never get anywhere though because it's seen as a relatively minor issue when there are bigger problems (e.g. Legal aid funding) and in the UK traditions have large inertia. edit: Turns out E&W is not so old fashioned after all.

Even sadder is that the negligent mother may be given temporary custody of the daughter. If the father's appeal is granted his ex-wife may claim that it is in the 'best interests of the child' that the daughter have a stable living arrangement (i.e. stay with the mother) and she may yet get permanent custody.

We are dealing here with an error of law, and the usual way of fixing it is to appeal. However, if the judge shows a persistent disregard for the law then a grievant may file a grievance with the Judicial Tenure Commission of Michigan. They won't be able to take action on a specific case, but they can discipline judges for persistent unethical or illegal conduct.

For all the rhetoric about 'supporting our troops' and 'thank you for your service', veterans do not get the good treatment they deserve. Aside from issues such as this there is also the inadequate medical care (e.g. the ongoing VA scandal), and the difficulty in transitioning to a civilian job (e.g. qualifications and experience obtained in service may not be recognized). Then if their spouse divorces them and tears the family apart, many then lack any reason to live.

For violence, see the study above.

The US isn't my jurisdiction so my knowledge here is limited, but there is a constitutional safeguard voiding laws for being too vague. Some of the concepts are too abstract to implement in a meaningful way and to put them to words (drafting) would be messy.

She deserves punishment proportional to her crime and to compensate her victim. Nothing more. Nothing less. If she has been dealt as such and she shows remorse, then we should forgive her.

He could sue for slander. If he succeeds it is very likely he would recover damages from lost salary plus future loss of income plus any emotional hurt or distress and interest on top of that. Damn I hope he sues her.

Rostker v. Goldberg - 453 U.S. 57 (1981) "And since women are excluded from combat service by statute or military policy, men and women are simply not similarly situated for purposes of a draft or registration for a draft, and Congress' decision to authorize the registration of only men therefore does not violate the Due Process Clause." Well, since women are going to be included into combat service, that means the male only draft would now violate the Due Process Clause. Somebody please get rea…

That negative enforcement should be constructive. It should take the form of punishment meted out by the child's parent, with an explanation of why it was warranted and what the correct behaviour should be. Verbal abuse from random people online is less likely to have the desired effect.

While we oppose them on their own ground (i.e. using their mode of discourse), we should also be mindful of our commitment as MRAs to logic, reason, and rationality. The modern dialogue is capable of rendering judgements such as 'hateful', 'intolerant' etc, it's just that we must justify why we apply those labels. For example, that woman, Vanja Krajina, who repeatedly shouted "you fucking scum" at an attendee of Dr. Warren Farrell's talk at the University of Toronto, can rightly be labelled 'hat…

I agree with your assessment. It's ironic that this is the case, because it is the modern discourse which detaches personality from issue.

Seems like the children are suffering from paternal alienation syndrome. Perhaps it's the mother's doing? We don't have all the facts here but it appears that before the divorce the husband had always been there for the kids, whereas the wife went missing for days at a time.

It is important that MRAs don't become masculists, the way Women's Rights Activists have become feminists. True equality cannot be viewed from the perspective of a particular group. It must be viewed as a whole, through lenses of universal values such as justice and fairness. The WRAs discarded these values and took feminism as their guiding ideology. They narrowed their view to the point where they see unfairness only when it negatively impacts women.

There needs to be "equality for people" or "equality for all", not "equality for women." The trouble here is with the very notion of "equality for women". This is not the way it works. You cannot have equality for one group only. Equality is not some quantity people can accumulate, a la "some animals are more equal than others." It is relative. It needs to be understood as a relationship between entities. This notion that there is a need for "equality for women" stems underlying beliefs that wom…

Fixing the Draft: Draft all members of Congress, or if they are incapable of serving, draft their adult children Draft any adult whose income is primarily derived from capital gains Corporations are people, so draft corporations:- all their assets shall be at the disposal of the armed forces.

A volunteer army is voluntary only at the point where someone enlists. A serviceman during his service must accept orders. Any discharge, honourable or otherwise, requires permission. It could therefore be conceivable that people enlist in a volunteer army during peacetime but serve during a war which lacks popular support. The professionalism of soldiers obliges them to support a government's decision whether there is popular support or not. In this way it is no different from a draft.

From Wikipedia: "As one of the elements of the offense, the government must prove that a violation of the Military Selective Service Act was knowing and willful." Sucks that you'll be denied government assistance, but on the positive side, at least it is unlikely that you'll be imprisoned and fined.

Here are 2 ideas for leading questions: Do current portrayals of domestic violence in the media reflect reality? Basically you can analyse portrayals of DV in contemporary media, as well as actual DV statistics. Your analysis should take into account, amongst other things: the perpetrator(s), unilateral/mutual aggression, police response, societal response. You can then discuss the impact of each 'source': how media portrayals have a greater impact on shaping society's understanding of DV as com…

I agree. She is now less inclined to listen as a result of that antagonistic tone. She is likely to dismiss it as some angry guy ranting and siding with his friend. But sometimes people fail to consider how they come across. Perhaps they're venting or they're frustrated. Certainly many people in the MRM are like this.

I defer to your expertise. Different jurisdictions, different laws I guess. Why do self-defence and provocation not apply to DV? I should think that, at the very minimum, a person should be allowed to defend themselves, regardless of their relationship with their attacker.

I disagree. Their sentence should be proportionate to the harm suffered by the innocent accused. e.g. damage to reputation, loss of job opportunities, reduced earnings, social stigma, breakdown in relationships/friendships, etc... This is fairer since there are some crimes which carry relatively short sentences, but which have a very adverse impact on those accused.

Perhaps the tone was antagonistic, but the message was important. There is a reason why society has laws regarding self-defence and provocation.

First I've heard of this woman, and already I greatly respect her. I'm of the opinion, though, that if someone hits you (male or female) you hit them back only to the extent that it serves as self-defence. Sometimes you feel provoked and that's understandable. They should apply provocation laws equally between men and women, so that a man provoked into a fight with a woman can use that legal defence.

No idea about Nigerian law, but in most places rape is legally defined as insertion with a penis. If we go by this definition then no these women cannot be charged with rape. They could possibly be charged with sexual assault though.
