| 5 | 50/50 assets splitting is not a fair policy.I think the default is that way because it requires minimal adjudication by the courts. It's essentially a 50/50 business partnership and I think it makes sense as the default, if only to avoid lengthy investigations by already backed up family courts. I'm a huge advocate of responsibilizing people, getting married is a huge decision and people should do the work to discuss finances instead of expecting the government/courts to step in and solve it for them. Now what we need to do as a society i… | /r/MensRights | 07/08/24 01:00 AM |
| 14 | 50/50 assets splitting is not a fair policy.I don't think you're wrong. The "standard" marriage contract was designed for a time where roles and responsibilities in marriage were very different and very gendered. The husband brought in the money and the wife was responsible for managing a household that was much larger than today. But it's just what it is, a standard contract. Prenups can significantly modify it and I think are largely the solution. Every couple should discuss and come to an agreement for what is essentially a legal partn… | /r/MensRights | 07/08/24 12:50 AM |

When people want female representation in WW2, pointing them to the Soviet Army is a good idea. Pilots, Mechanics, Tankers, Snipers, etc. Not to mention the incredible sacrifices that happened on the home front. There was backbreaking labor and misery.

| -67 | Man found “not guilty” of sexual assault, but his life and economic potential is still destroyed because his name is publicly available for any HR department to google, while hers is not. This is how “regret after the fact” ruins lives.There isn't such a thing as legal innocence, the best you can get is not guilty which is exactly what it says. The events may or may not have happened, but you raised a reasonable doubt that you were not criminally culpable. You never actually lose your innocence in the legal sense until you are convicted, therefore the court can't pronounce you "innocent". The highest form of "innocence" I saw in court was the crown dropping the charges with apologies to the suspect. | /r/MensRights | 26/05/22 11:51 PM |

Being a "military spouse" and a single mom of 2, is her resume.The issue is it's kind of a catch-22. I know in the US there's the fact you have to live in the barracks until a certain rank (and believe me, barracks suck ass everywhere) but even in my country where that's not a factor, you basically have very few options to pursue a relationship.

| 0 | according to vice, all masculinity is toxic and must be ridden off for "morally sound and love-filled lives"You imply I have some sort of "plan" which is incorrect. What I said was that sharing salaries would improve the negotiating position of workers, no more, no less. The conflict you're so afraid of already exists through promotions, and that hasn't led to companies abolishing promotions to make all employees the same. Your reading comprehension is inadequate. All you're doing is straw-manning at this point by refusing to address the core argument so I'm going to terminate this discussion. | /r/MensRights | 04/01/21 08:52 PM |
| 0 | according to vice, all masculinity is toxic and must be ridden off for "morally sound and love-filled lives"Your main argument revolves around different pay causing conflict, which for some reason would push companies to standardize salaries, a causal link you have not credibly demonstrated in any way beyond wild speculation. Do you imply that promotion to a different title causes no conflict within a company? Because it certainly does, and companies haven't abolished promotions as far as I know. | /r/MensRights | 04/01/21 08:25 PM |
| 2 | according to vice, all masculinity is toxic and must be ridden off for "morally sound and love-filled lives"Except companies with different public pay tiers already exist. Most government jobs use position-based compensation with pay increases coming from promotions or time in. The military works the same, more or less. The idea that a company would forgo paying incentives to their top talent to "avoid conflict" within the company is a bit ridiculous tbh and is demonstrably false in the examples I named above.

| 2 | according to vice, all masculinity is toxic and must be ridden off for "morally sound and love-filled lives"You have not shown any data, research, or even a well reasoned explanation to support that conclusion. In a free market, this is unlikely. If your boss could pay you 0$, he would. What prevents him is the fact that nobody would want to work for him. It's the same principle with this. If one company matches everyone's salary, the high performers will have an incentive to go work elsewhere.

| 3 | according to vice, all masculinity is toxic and must be ridden off for "morally sound and love-filled lives"I'm not sure what you base this on. If you're in a profession where you negotiate your salary, you already likely know how much you are worth (plenty of ressources available to find that out) in the wider industry. If Mike and John are talking, and Mike makes 10k more than John, John going to the boss for a raise isn't going to drop Mike's salary. At that point the boss can substantiate why Mike makes more or John can start looking for a job within his industry that might offer him more. Point i… | /r/MensRights | 04/01/21 06:44 PM |
| 5 | according to vice, all masculinity is toxic and must be ridden off for "morally sound and love-filled lives"Not necessarily, because the employer still has to compete with the at-large labor market, so I don't see how it would push salaries down. Your other conclusion doesn't logically follow either. Raises and bonuses based on performance can still be justified, the employer simply has to be transparent about it if asked during pay negotiation. | /r/MensRights | 04/01/21 06:37 PM |
| 25 | according to vice, all masculinity is toxic and must be ridden off for "morally sound and love-filled lives"Tbh coworkers of all genders should share their salaries with each other in comparable positions. That improves everyone's negotiating position when it's time to ask for raises or salary negotiations. Otherwise the boss is the only one with all the information. | /r/MensRights | 04/01/21 02:59 PM |

That's true, though the most obvious examples like housing can be said to be ancillary and up for redistribution.

| 1 | Half of Generation Z men ‘think feminism has gone too far’Socialism needs the means of production to be in public hands, not the public ownership of capital. Capital is part of the means of production (machines, real estate or simply wealth).

| 1 | Half of Generation Z men ‘think feminism has gone too far’I mean of course there's thousands of different interpretations and currents in socialist thought. That said in Marxist thought, which is the more mainstream interpretation, socialism requires the public ownership of capital. It is thus litterally an interim stage before the stateless society (communism).

Women's opinions, behaviors, judgements and selection of sexual partners play a huge role in how men behave, and vice-versa.

In Canada they're useless because of the doctrine of community property (which also applies to Common Law in every province save Quebec, so not marrying can't even protect your assets).

I also fundamentally oppose the idea of armed revolution in a democracy, but I don't expect to ever be able to convince an American of that due to the mythical role the Revolution holds in American history.

Not as much as loosing 50 lbs apparently.I think you're right in that a man knows he's fat as well. Apart from some subcultures of the gay community, you won't find a man calling himself "plus sized". A man knows that if he has a bit of a beer belly, it's his fault for letting himself go.

In my opinion a big reason why the MRM isn't getting as much press as it deserves is that the outliers of our movement are taken to be the core "membership".

I think women have the ability to do the same thing, we just need to expect the same standard from them. Those that do renounce their privilege to enlist in dangerous occupations (and can actually do the job) have my respect. When the Soviet Union was invaded, countless women and men died in combat or from the ho… | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 12:26 PM |
| 15 | Men's Issues School Assembly ProposalYeah, it's important to be legitimate cause, not a reactionary movement to feminism, which is a criticism that's often heaped on the MRM. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 12:09 PM |
| 9 | Why feminists hate the movie Dunkirk so muchWe had several female deaths in the Afghanistan War and the combat arms have been integrated for a while. It actually caused a big uproar when we got our first female casualty, a female artillery captain. This is in Canada btw. To be clear, I serve in an artillery unit, women are faced with the same risks as the men and service the guns the same way. Obviously there's still a disposability gap, and there's only few (and amazing) women who make the choice to go combat arms, but I don't think they… | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 12:07 PM |

| 16 | Why feminists hate the movie Dunkirk so muchTHIS. I serve with several female soldiers who are just as professional and sacrificing as the men are. There's fewer of them yes, but I don't think these emotions are exclusive to men. You can also add the semi-mythical account of the 1077th Anti-Aircraft Regiment, fighting the German panzers shot for shot as they tried to enter the city of Stalingrad. Nearly all the female gunners died at their post. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 11:54 AM |
| 1 | Women Pens Book About Drugging and Assaulting Men, Gets TV Show on HBOIt's not possible, gay conversion therapy simply doesn't work. Sure it can pain you into repressing your urges, but it will never make them go away. These people are still gay, just in the closet. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 03:56 AM |
| 1 | Being dragged back into court as my son's mother once again uses him as a weapon to try to punish me. Now she wants custody completely taken away from me.Yeah I know, for officers outside the infantry it isn't that bad though. I'm pretty careful when I ruck and artillery officer is pretty gucci actually. Apart from some minor shin splints I'm doing alright. Been in 4 years now. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 02:14 AM |
| 2 | Being dragged back into court as my son's mother once again uses him as a weapon to try to punish me. Now she wants custody completely taken away from me.Absolutely, let me reference my first comment: On one hand, I do believe in financial abortion and I think consent of both parties should be necessary for procreation. I think the financial part of the equation should be fairly evident, if there's not consent from both parents and the woman carries the pregnancy to terms, then she should have no claim for support. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/18 01:06 AM |
| 3 | Being dragged back into court as my son's mother once again uses him as a weapon to try to punish me. Now she wants custody completely taken away from me.I'm a military guy, so I am hoping to still be in shape in my 40s. I get your point though, but I don't want to be an absentee dad if I ever have children, and I love my career too much to quit. In effect it's a choice between career and kids, especially as an officer. As I said, I haven't made my decision yet, and I'm still open to adopt when/if the time comes. | /r/MensRights | 19/03/18 10:59 PM |
| 1 | Being dragged back into court as my son's mother once again uses him as a weapon to try to punish me. Now she wants custody completely taken away from me.Or maybe contraception fails, like it does sometimes, and the woman doesn't want to be aborted or give her baby away once it's born. That's a choice we have to respect too, even though the financial onus shouldn't be on the man if he doesn't want a child. Hopefully reliable and safe male contraceptives will eventually reduce this problem to a few cases only. | /r/MensRights | 19/03/18 10:57 PM |
| 8 | Being dragged back into court as my son's mother once again uses him as a weapon to try to punish me. Now she wants custody completely taken away from me.You bring an interesting point, and one on which my mind isn't fully made up. On one hand, I do believe in financial abortion and I think consent of both parties should be necessary for procreation. On the other hand, given that it is the woman that must suffer the abortion (which can be pretty traumatic) in case of accidental pregnancy, I also respect their choice to carry the pregnancy to term. In that context, isn't it kind of awful for the kid to have to grow up without a father? I think the… | /r/MensRights | 19/03/18 09:21 PM |
| 38 | Being dragged back into court as my son's mother once again uses him as a weapon to try to punish me. Now she wants custody completely taken away from me.I'm sorry this is happening to you. You seem like a good dad, so keep fighting for your son, it shows that most dads aren't deadbeats who don't want access. | /r/MensRights | 19/03/18 07:32 PM |
| 3 | There may not be parades for False accuser women, but the man CAN have his life ruined, even if HE was the one raped. So there is an incentive, and there is such a thing as False accusation. 2% is too many.Dope! I love the neutrality of the poster and how he discusses the confidence intervals a bit further in the comments! | /r/MensRights | 18/03/18 06:14 PM |
| 3 | So this is rape, but a women tricking a man and getting pregnant by stopping birth control or some other method is totally cool? Double standards don't help anybodythe entire existence of this "movement" is nothing but whataboutisms as you're incapable to address issues unless they are first addressed by an another group Not everybody thinks like that, you can find just as many people with coloured opinions inside feminist movements. However the MRM also addresses clearly male issues (Homelessness, the "death gap", suicide, etc...), but without mainstream platforms that are interested in these issues, it's no surprise you haven't heard of it. I'd suggest t… | /r/MensRights | 18/03/18 04:12 AM |
| 1 | Why don't we fight for Equal Human Rights instead ?I don't think you exactly got what I meant, yes I agree that the powers that be in the feminist movement endorse these things. What I am saying is that the average woman on the street that says she's a feminist (which is most of them) doesn't really know what that term implies. I'll include a sample of a conversation I've had countless times when I was in university: Me: So do you identify as a feminist? Her: Yes, I believe in equal rights for both genders, and feminism fights for that. Me: [Ins… | /r/MensRights | 17/03/18 05:44 AM |
| 1 | Why don't we fight for Equal Human Rights instead ?In the context where feminism is a mainstream movement lobbying for women's rights, then it's a weak position to take. Now if feminism as a whole did more than pay lip service to male issues, then certainly a men's movement centered on both genders and their equality would make sense. However, given that a lot of central feminist media, personalities, etc... focus almost exclusively on female issues and are pushing female victim/male aggressor narratives, the only effective response is a movemen… | /r/MensRights | 16/03/18 04:51 PM |
| 2 | When we Blame Men we Ignore this Uncomfortable Truth. | elephant journalI think you might be reading too much into her argument at that level. To be clear, I don't think she's perfectly right or that I subscribe to all she says in her article. Notably, there is a lot of gender stereotyping that goes in there and assumes that people act the same (both men and women). That said, taking the piece as a whole, it doesn't do a bad job of explaining the necessity of female accountability in a feminist framework. Now of course you can disagree with that feminist framework, … | /r/MensRights | 16/03/18 04:43 PM |
| 1 | When we Blame Men we Ignore this Uncomfortable Truth. | elephant journalI guess we just see it differently, but personally I don't subscribe to single factor analyses. Men can have personal responsibility for their actions while women do as well, and both of them can be victims of circumstances while retaining that personal responsibility. Pointing out that nuance is good practice in my book. | /r/MensRights | 16/03/18 04:38 PM |
| 2 | When we Blame Men we Ignore this Uncomfortable Truth. | elephant journal95% of the article is about women changing their behaviors. I don't think it's bad to say there needs to be reciprocity in the way we change our behaviors. We form two halves of mankind, neither side is free from the blame as to how society and interpersonal relationships have become. Society as a whole puts a lot of attention on men's failings, some of which are true, others which are not. It's good to see an article acknowledging that women have a part of responsibility as well. It's possible … | /r/MensRights | 16/03/18 03:16 PM |
| 5 | When we Blame Men we Ignore this Uncomfortable Truth. | elephant journalI don't think that's blaming men necessarily, we aren't perfect and I don't think it's fair to blame women for all of our shortcomings or problems. The MRM for me isn't about absolving men of any responsibility, it's about recognizing the real problems men and boys face in society, and ensuring that women are held to the same standard men are. I found the article fairly insightful. | /r/MensRights | 16/03/18 02:41 PM |
| 1 | Apparently, female on male sexual assault is only an afterthought.Honestly I kind of welcome it when someone does that. I generally believe in exposing myself to as many viewpoints as I can, which is why if a friend holds opinions I disagree with, I will not unfriend them just for that. But obviously a lot of people don't take this approach. It's also difficult because I am in a job where I can't really speak my mind very often (even on social media) and overtly on these matters. I love my job and I wouldn't leave it for the world, but the same narrative is be… | /r/MensRights | 14/03/18 12:07 AM |

| 5 | Apparently, female on male sexual assault is only an afterthought.Description: I'm blue, pink posted the first image. She's been regularly posting some pretty edgy feminist posts and generally I let it slip by in my feed because whatever, women also have a right to advocacy, I simply think men should as well. However I've never seen a post from her discussing the plights of men and boys despite that so called commitment to helping both genders, so tonight I decided to call her out on it with stats and articles. Unsurprisingly, she unfriended me after that last… | /r/MensRights | 13/03/18 04:30 AM |
| 0 | The realities of conscription need to be reconsidered- Finland.Or maybe because I think everyone in a society has rights and obligations, and that those rights and obligations should be the same for both genders. Just because we don't have the same opinion doesn't mean I want to enslave men (and thus myself), so get off your high horse. Maybe you should stop building strawmen too. | /r/MensRights | 27/02/18 10:09 AM |
| -1 | The realities of conscription need to be reconsidered- Finland.Conscription is not a problem, it's a legitimate choice society can make, since especially in a democracy, it should be the duty of every citizen to defend the state and exercise power within it. However, I fully agree women should have the same rights and obligations as men in that regard. | /r/MensRights | 26/02/18 02:23 PM |
| 5 | Oklahoma Man Ordered To Pay Child Support Despite Not Being Father...And how is it fair for the not-dad to be lied to for years and then find out his kid isn't his, while being told to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next 15 years of the child's life? | /r/PussyPass | 15/01/17 10:33 AM |
| 3 | Oklahoma Man Ordered To Pay Child Support Despite Not Being FatherThat is a different situation, in the context of in-vitro fertilization, donors give away all rights to the product of their seed/eggs and are in turn protected with confidentiality. In this case, there is a biological father that is/should be liable for child support and it is not the guy who just found out his kid wasn't his. A marriage, especially with children, depends on the agreement that spouses remain faithful and that the children are biologically theirs, excepting a specific agreement … | /r/PussyPass | 15/01/17 10:31 AM |
