My guess is they will claim it's proof of sexism because women are getting better jobs at a younger age because they are more educated and therefore have more student loan debt! The student loan debt issue will then become their proof of sexism. They will also argue that women only.out-earning men in that age bracket is proof of the glass ceiling for women 30 and over. Finally, they will argue that men are "lazy" and failing to pull their weight in society. High earning young women being unable …

Not sure why "it will be a long fight" would deter a lawyer when there is a big fish like a university on the line. Try the state bar website. Many have a referral service or directory.

The statutes are normally gender neutral, but enforcement tends not to be. Judges tend to award lower child support for fathers (even adjusting for income) and tend to be less willing to punish women who fail to pay. Also, in general, most states use a "best interests of the child" standard for awarding custody that gives custody preference to the "primary caregiver" which in practice tends more often to be the mother.

Why are you making an argument of this? Men being more likely to be killed in these types of conflicts is a men's rights issue. I am just curious of the breakdown in this case. It's also a pretty common thing for the media to report men's deaths in more general terms while highlighting gender when women are involved / harmed. You will see headlines like "100 killed including 30 women."

I didn't say anything about being "better" than women. I made two factual claims: men are overrepresented in committing violent acts, and that men are overrepresented in committing the types of acts in the video. My point was that feminists use the violent stats as proof of "toxic masculinity" and ignore or shout down the stats that show men in a more positive light. That's what makes this video relevant to this subreddit.

Feminists argue that "toxic masculinity" causes men to be violent, dominant, oppressive brutes. They make this argument by citing the fact that men are over represented in violent perpetrator statistics. What they completely ignore is that men are also very over represented in selfless, courageous acts as well. This video serves as proof of the latter and serves as a refutation of the "toxic masculinity" narrative.

Men don’t know their rights yet loudly complain. Typical I am an attorney. I probably know more about this subject than you do. You are just wrong - men cannot unilaterally terminate their child support obligations.
/r/MensRights07/06/19 04:35 PM

There is literally a sentence that states: “A parent may also voluntarily give up their parental rights.” You should try reading more carefully. A father cannot terminate his parental rights unilaterally. The sentence you refer to is talking about adoption or with the consent of the mother and approval of a court.
/r/MensRights07/06/19 04:23 PM

I literally posted a link to a legal website that explains the option of terminating parental rights Yeah...and it provided examples where a court terminates the rights of an unfit parent, or a couple willingly (together) puts a child up for adoption. There is no way for a man to terminate his parental responsibility to pay child support if the mother decides to seek that child support.

Edit: Since the posters below me seem confused on what their rights are here is the link Your link does not say what you think it says.

I don't think there is any way to prove anything to the people who use "toxic masculinity." They have no interest in listening to our point of view. They just default to the constant straw man of "toxic masculinity does not say all masculinity is toxic," which we didn't say it was. The phrase "toxic masculinity" is bigoted because it implies ONLY masculinity is toxic and associates particular toxic behavior with "masculinity," not because it implies every single man is toxic.

Yeah. I'm not sure what feminists expect that point to prove. Just because you are more scared does not mean you are in more danger. Women tend to be paranoid.

"Toxic masculinity" used to be called "hegemonic masculinity." The basic concept is that society trains men to be violent, aggressive, and dominant in order to subordinate women. The problem with "toxic masculinity" is it labels several negative traits as "masculine," and attempts to label many positive traits as "toxic," while advancing a cartoonish idea of how men and boys are raised.

First, why would you want an estate lawyer handling that? Second, what do you mean by "standard" guest contract? Lawyers typically create their own contracts depending on the particular situation. Third, property laws differ between states, so not only should you have a different contract, you should have a different lawyer. Fourth, why are you assuming others have estate lawyers? That's pretty rare for a person in their late 20s / early 30s Basically, your post reeks of bullshit.

Women are much more risk averse than men, and men have much more pressure on them to earn a living. That's all it really comes down to for the wage gap. This manifests itself in Bitcoin because the people investing in bitcoin were willing to risk some money, and also willing to risk looking like a moron by investing. Women, on the other hand, will not do anything without social approval and encouragement - this is them being risk averse. The funny thing about the wage gap rhetoric, is the people…

Hi Ms. Straughan: I think you might be over-complicating things a bit with this talk of "agency." It seems to me that "agency denial" typically only occurs when something bad happens. I haven't seen any evidence that people are incapable of seeing women as agents when it comes time to give credit for good things happening. For example, people often say "women won the right to vote" and not "men gave women the right to vote." So, I don't think it's that society "denies women have agency" - I thin…

At some point maybe a smart company would figure out it wasn't true and hire women, but the logic behind the alleged wage gap is that companies believe women are less competent and therefore pay them less than they deserve (or overvalue men and pay men what they deserve). This obviously isn't happening, but it could theoretically happen where companies pay women 77% for equal work, but they believe they are paying women 77% for less work because women are inferior.

Except that video doesn't show "harassment." That video shows random dudes yelling things at a woman. Harassment needs to be specific and targeted, and has to occur over a period of time. If multiple people yell at you that you never see again - that isn't harassment. Harassment occurs when one person (or a group) continuously contacts you. I agree that random people yelling things at you can be annoying, and I agree that it shouldn't happen. But, some people are rude.

His post, summarized is: "Drunken women can be just as belligerent as drunken men. We need to develop ways to deal with drunken women, just as we have ways to deal with drunken men. Under no circumstance should you have sex with a drunken woman, because college policies are very loose with the definition of rape such that any inebriated sex (no matter the level of inebriation) can be classified as assault."

No. Women were not considered property. What feminists are referring to is "coverture" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coverture Basically, on marriage - the woman's legal identity merged into the man's. This went hand in hand with men's duties to support women.

You are assuming that men in power will necessarily act for the best interests of men. That is not true. There is a huge societal bias that prioritizes the safety and comfort of women over men. That bias is reflected in members of government, and in voters (both men and women). One of the most effective ways to get policy passed, is to argue that something harms women. If you argue that something harms men, people aren't as motivated to act.

Women were simply not allowed to join the military for the longest time, let alone have a combat MOS, so how could they have possibly contributed to those numbers? It's not just "not allowed" - they were also exempt from forced service. But that's the point. It's an example where men have gotten the short end of the stick. We're not blaming women for not dying in war - we're pointing to the fact that men were solely responsible for fighting the wars to contradict the idea of "male privilege."

by all means, integrate that into your argument.

Both male and female parents can take advantage of safe harbors, adoption, abstinence and birth control, so what's your point? But only women can do it unilaterally. And my point is that there are options in the law to absolve yourself of responsibility for a child that do not involve the issue of bodily autonomy. Safe haven laws are a safe place for a parent to leave a child they can not take care of. So...how is that any different than a man taking advantage of legal paternal surrender? Men wh…

Abortion rights are about a person controlling what happens to their body, not their wallet. Do you oppose adoption using the same logic? If you didn't want a kid, you could have worn a condom.

Because we reject the idea that we live in a patriarchy where men are privileged at the expense of women. Basically, both MRAs and feminists claim to want equality, but we see the inequality differently. Feminists view the inequality as oppressor/oppressed.

Because if circumcising boys is wrong, then it makes men the victim of something. And, male circumcision is something that is impossible for feminists to claim that women are the primary victims of. So, they have to reject it. Women always have to be the victims. Men can't be victims of anything.

The parallel to legal paternal surrender is not necessarily abortion - it's adoption. I don't think there's any law forcing parents who have put their children up for adoption to pay back child support if the child contacts them when they get old enough to.

And that's curiously convenient for a man to believe. And this statement is completely unnecessary if you're actually interested in having a discussion. Please extrapolate.

Your post actually highlights the biggest disagreement between MRAs and feminists. We (MRAs) don't view the traditional male gender role as being one of "privilege." And we don't view the traditional female role as being one of powerlessness. So what's the bottom line that MRA are trying to get at?

Well. Then why aren't more women dropping out? It could be due to them expecting a man later in their life to pay the bills. So, they aren't really expecting to pay back those loans.

Falsely accused of rape? Impossible. SRS told me this doesn't happen.

I think the statistic is interesting. But the analysis of the article seems pretty flawed. I wouldn't care if my wife wanted to work and help with the finances. In fact, I'd prefer that.

This isn't really a big deal, but....being friend zoned hurts. Not because you think someone owes you sex, but because your romantic feelings are not reciprocated. It's basically being told "I think you're cool enough to hang out with, but not attractive enough to date." It should be pretty easy to see why that can hurt. It's like telling someone "I love you" but then having them say "Well, I don't love you, but I mean, we can still hang out if you want. . . "

It could be something as simple as amount of hours worked. And while it is admirable that you want to defend your points, you are not going to be able to account for every single thing that might impact wages. And you have to consider that feminists don't care. Even if you pin them down on the wage gap being mostly due to choices men and women make, they will change it to "the patriarchy forces women to make those choices." (so much for personal autonomy.). But I find that point hilarious. The p…

The "alcohol = can't consent" rule is not a rule. Obviously someone who is passed out can't consent, but drunk people can and do consent to sex all the time. The SRS types claim that any sex with a drunk person is rape. Usually if you point out that two drunk people can have sex with each other, they will either take the position that both are rapists (which can't be true), or that "the one who initiated is the one who committed rape" which also can't be true, because if drunk people can't conse…

The image is just pointing out a double standard that exists. You don't necessarily have to take a position on the underlying issue to note a double standard. Do you agree that a double standard exists on this subject?

Oh. Ok. So it's only figuratively suggesting that rapists are simply confused males that don't know any better.

Don't teach children about "stranger danger", teach strangers not to kidnap children! Rapists are violent criminals. They're not simply uninformed.

But these "worse off" people (women) lived easier and more comfortable lives. That doesn't typically happen with oppressed subgroups. Oppressed subgroups tend to be relegated to the much dirtier, more hazardous jobs. All that "male power" stuff you are talking about is in exchange for men taking on the tougher role. Also, I would say your argument skews the concept of "power." Being able to get someone else to work for your benefit seems like a pretty powerful thing. Feminists never recognize th…

How do they even come up with that statistic? What's the source on that? And even if they do represent 43%; how is that measured? For example, is that just all video game playing? Do they adjust for amount of hours per week? Anything like that?

I'm a libertarian, so I'm pretty big on personal autonomy. If you want to have sex with someone for money; go for it. I don't care. As far as the feminists who oppose it; they argue that the women engaging in pornography are coerced by our patriarchal society into objectifying themselves. They argue that the choice women make to get involved with porn is not a free choice.

Good thing you didn't have sex with her. Because if you did, and she got pregnant, your life would be ruined. But the false rape accusation. How can that be? Feminists have informed me that a woman would never lie about such a thing.

I've always found that sentiment to be completely backwards. Why is it funny? Well, people think it's a clever observation. But, do you really think we'd be more anxious to protect the bodily integrity of the gender that has historically been forced into war against their will? Really? The gender that currently enjoys no reproductive rights beyond "wear a condom" and "keep it in your pants"? I mean, look at how quickly people start yelling "DEADBEAT" when you suggest that men should not be force…

It was a sucker punch. What he did wasn't right. Not because she's a woman, but because it was a sucker punch. But the woman was wrong too. You can't just pick a fight like that and not expect some sort of consequences. You pushed the guy until he snapped. If I went up to a guy in a bar who was twice my size and dumped a beer on his head; nobody would feel any sympathy for me if he put me in the hospital.

I say you just own it. Just go in there and be like "Yeah, girls suck at trombone." In all seriousness though man, just chill out. One high school suspension is not going to ruin your life. Don't take shit from people. If they try to force you to apologize, don't. Take the suspension.

It's just an example of how little society cares about male suffering. The way I see gender is that there are benefits and costs to being either gender. Feminists weigh the costs of being a woman against the benefits of being a man. They ignore the costs of being a man and the benefits of being a woman. This is a perfect example. Male Soldier: Benefit: Respect Cost: Fight in a war Female Civilian: Benefit: Do not have to fight in a war; have other people fighting on your behalf Cost: Lose the op…

I've seen that redefinition argument a bunch of times. I always get a kick out of it. I know the "social justice" people use a different definition; one they made up. But you don't just get to rewrite the dictionary based on your ideology.

If it's only about the well being of the child; why not just start holding random, well-off single men responsible for the children of single mothers? The reason we hold fathers responsible is because the assumption is that they are partly responsible for the kid existing. But, that isn't true any more now that whether or not be a parent is a choice a woman makes about her body.... That's the gaping hole in the pro choice arguments. It's the "my body, my choice" stuff. "My body, my choice, parti…

"Sure, patriarchal ideals of masculinity are problematic, as is war." I like how she just sort of mentions war in passing. "Sure, war's a problem; but let's talk about serious issues. Men want to walk in the same protest as me!" I always get a kick out of upper middle class white women complaining about how hard they have it.

This is impossible. Feminists have assured me that a woman would never lie about being raped. Obviously the patriarchy is at fault here, because reasons.

You shifted the goalposts on your bias claim. And, trying to make the lives of people with PTSD easier is a laudable goal. But that doesn't mean that anything you say towards achieving that goal is justified. To your comparison: What do you think the reaction would be to "teach women not to cheat" or "teach women to stop hitting their husbands" posters would be? But if you want a more serious comparison; I'd use the biases against male rape victims, and the biases against men falsely accused of …

Again, given the ideology of the people who put up those posters, I find your argument hard to believe. I think it's more likely the "all men are potential rapists" idea, rather than "let's point out absurdity by being absurd."

But we do put blame on the victims of other crimes. If I were in a bad section of town, alone, and drunk at 2:00 AM....and I get robbed at gunpoint, a lot of people are going to ask "what the fuck were you doing in that part of town, at that time of night, in that type of condition?" The idea is to discourage behavior that makes you an easy target.

Those posters insult men, and trivialize rape. They insult men because men don't need to be taught not to rape. We know not to rape. The vast vast majority of men absolutely abhor rape, and absolutely abhor rapists. Rapists aren't even welcome amongst the prison population. They have a "skin beef." Those posters imply that the default state for men, is to commit rape, when the default for men is just the opposite. It trivializes rape because it paints rapists as confused men. Rapists know what t…
