0	Update to the high schooler who was being accused of rape after splitting up with his GF because he was questioning his sexuality. Things worked out well, although justice wasn't exactly had. People are so quick to jump to litigation. With any luck, this girl will never go this far again. Why try to ruin what little dignity she can muster from here on out with a suit?	/r/MensRights	12/05/13 07:30 AM

0	Wildest thing happened last week and i need to vent but the ones with social services involved are always the nastiest of them all While I'm not in the industry any more, I was in it for long enough and know enough people who are. It's brutal, emotionally debilitating, everyone is underpaid and overworked, it has a ridiculous turnover and, overall, no one likes you for doing your god damn job. A vast majority of people in the industry really just want to help kids. Those very same people are ready to hang themselves because of the industry. but o…	/r/MensRights	12/04/13 05:05 AM

1	I got mixed reviews for my article in the paper about reverse sexism. You want equality; pay the difference! I don't know. I'm not trying to invalidate your stepfather's point of view, he may even be right or (more likely) there is information missing from one of our sides' point of view (or both). MPI is weird, that's what I can say for sure. XD	/r/MensRights	14/03/13 09:19 PM
1	I got mixed reviews for my article in the paper about reverse sexism. You want equality; pay the difference! That's... ermm... strange, to say the least. I've seen some really strange insurance costs, sure, but never anything unreasonable, even for young adults who have it insured under their own names.	/r/MensRights	14/03/13 03:44 PM
1	I got mixed reviews for my article in the paper about reverse sexism. You want equality; pay the difference! I wAs referring to manitoba specifically. My understanding was that rates are based off of points on your driver's license for the most part, which mine is earning at a healthy rate. http://www.mpi.mb.ca/en/PDFs/PolicyGuide2013.pdf The three factors it lists are where you live and how the vehicle is used, the vehicle itself, and your driving record.	/r/MensRights	14/03/13 02:01 PM
1	I got mixed reviews for my article in the paper about reverse sexism. You want equality; pay the difference! Protip: get your insurance through a parent if they're willing. My car is legally owned by my father, so I pay $80/month to have it insured as a pleasure vehicle. As a regular commuting vehicle it was about $130/month, which is still odd as the car's not even worth $2000 and my mom's $10,000 car insures for about $110/month. ¬_¬	/r/MensRights	14/03/13 03:28 AM
1	How a radical feminist views her husband: "...he’s just an alien in the home. He helps out a lot with the kids, which I used to appreciate, but now I realise it’s another form of dominance, of trying What? I didn't say that. Yes, she's vengeful and spiteful towards men. However, she's not a white supremacist or anti-semitic and please do not make that baseless jump. Making an analogy in this regard becomes close to a strawman, and there's one specific time in which you cross the line: In another time, she would be a white supremacist.	/r/MensRights	03/02/13 05:30 PM
-19	How a radical feminist views her husband: "...he’s just an alien in the home. He helps out a lot with the kids, which I used to appreciate, but now I realise it’s another form of dominance, of trying Hey, can we refrain from this type of argument? It's baseless and helps nothing. I mean, hell, yesterday I got called a white supremacist because I dared to suggest that people in speaking roles who have a lisp should work to minimize it. Let's not stoop to their level, please.	/r/MensRights	03/02/13 08:02 AM
2	Joe Rogan tells a woman she can't hit someone, felt it deserved more attention, since many people would have thought it was ok for a woman to hit a man You're arguing really vehemently when I don't disagree with your core values. I'm simply pointing out that, especially when the adrenaline is flowing, a person's first instincts are often not going to be to fire a warning shot. And, quite frankly, firing a warning shot takes away time that could be used to line up a proper shot. Stun guns still worry me. Yes, you have the opportunity to knock someone down a peg. But if they have a knife there's a damn good chance you're getting gutted. Why the h…	/r/MensRights	03/02/13 02:17 AM
2	Joe Rogan tells a woman she can't hit someone, felt it deserved more attention, since many people would have thought it was ok for a woman to hit a man Just because I missed a couple points you made doesn't mean I brought nothing to the table. Mace? You can get used to being maced, people have natural tolerances to it, and it's just downright unreliable. Once again, it also doesn't guarantee someone will be unable to hurt you. Also, there's the difference between pepper spray and mace. Both are illegal in Canada outside of law enforcement, by the way. So there goes that idea. As far as tasers go, I've heard fail rates anywhere between 30%-50% f…	/r/MensRights	03/02/13 12:15 AM
3	Questions from an ex-hardcore-feminist? I just got The Myth of Male Power in the mail and started reading it. I highly recommend it.	/r/MensRights	02/02/13 03:28 AM
1	Joe Rogan tells a woman she can't hit someone, felt it deserved more attention, since many people would have thought it was ok for a woman to hit a man I don't disagree with the point you're trying to make, not at all. Neutralization is always preferable to killing a human being. However, at the same time, I firmly believe that once someone has threatened another human being's life they have forfeited their own. Also, kicking someone in the shins is not going to stop them from knifing you. If they've trained at all, you're unlikely to really hurt them, either. Once they're down, are they capable of getting back up and hurting you? Don't let the…	/r/MensRights	02/02/13 03:10 AM
3	This kind of thing... "What if we responded to sexual assault by limiting Men's freedom like we limit women's." Scares me.. Did you read what I wrote? I said it happens, but is rare. I also said it happens for all crimes, but apparently it's only horrible if it happens to happen with respect to female rape victims. You're putting words in my mouth. I never said that, no one did. You keep creating these scenarios to get mad about something when they don't exist. That's a drawing. A very crude one at that. Because it's a very basic rendition of a very real scenario. I was simply using it to illustrate my point. You go …	/r/MensRights	13/01/13 06:05 AM
5	This kind of thing... "What if we responded to sexual assault by limiting Men's freedom like we limit women's." Scares me.. I disagree. Victim blaming is rare, it happens for all crimes but is rare. So you're admitting it does happen? The fact that it happens at all is abhorrent. There's a difference between being cautious in case of a false accusation and blaming the victim. This (NSFW) kind of shit has happened. And it really should not. ... So much fail in that comment, what is said is that rapists can't control themselves (it's only feminists and other gynocentrists who assume this means men, only men and all men…	/r/MensRights	12/01/13 05:05 PM
14	This kind of thing... "What if we responded to sexual assault by limiting Men's freedom like we limit women's." Scares me.. I'm about 95% sure this is satire. It's just poking holes in victim blaming. /r/feminism agrees. 2X commented: I agree. I think the lack of recognition and sympathy for male victims and the lack of "belief in" or punishment for female aggressors are separate issues, deserving of attention in their own right. This article brings into focus the ridiculousness of suggesting men can't control their behavior and that they shouldn't be expected to, while paralleling the victim-blaming and paternalisti…	/r/MensRights	12/01/13 07:26 AM
1	The truth about false rape accusation It's because there's a difference between a work of fantasy showing someone getting stabbed or blown up or, hell, getting raped. There's a disconnect because people are aware that they are nothing but fantasy. Compare that to radfems and the like who use lies and inflammatory speech to rally people to their cause. It's completely different and not held under that guise of fantasy.	/r/MensRights	09/01/13 03:30 PM
1	The truth about false rape accusation And a person's reaction is exceedingly important to take into account. I would generally be considered an incredibly calm individual and I've talked people acting aggressively towards me down more than once. But if one of my friends came to me and said someone raped them? I'd be ready to murder whoever did it. Should I act on it? Probably not. Would I? It's a possibility, unfortunate as that may be. The burden doesn't lie solely with me or the person telling me about the situation. It's shared. …	/r/MensRights	09/01/13 04:41 AM
1	The truth about false rape accusation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uwAo8lcAC4 It's generally not violent media that influences people. A more successful argument is that the news agencies or society itself influence far more violence than a movie or video game could ever hope to achieve. Violent media isn't going around spouting lies. It's providing harmless entertainment. I don't even know how you made that leap, quite frankly.	/r/MensRights	09/01/13 04:35 AM

1	"If I had a boy I'd be disappointed" Hi! Just thought I'd chime in quickly on what you're saying. 30 second background: I was involved in social work for about 8 years and worked directly as a youth care worker for 3 along with respite/support work for some time beyond that. On the whole, the general train of thought of myself and everyone I've talked to is that boys are easier to raise. The biggest reason I can give for this is just the differences in how the two sexes deal with their emotional issues. Boys, on the whole, seem to …	/r/MensRights	06/01/13 06:53 AM

2	STORY OF THE YEAR: The falsely accused man whose accuser told him to "let bygones be bygones" after he spent 5 years in prison and had his life destroyed It is relevant in this case, because it's a rape trial which had a falsely accused individual. Go re-read what he said: the writer he referred to said that men should use nullification in any rape trial they are part of the jury for as they are notorious for not having proper due process and not allowing all the evidence to be properly presented. I dunno, you'll have to wait for shadowbaned to check this to learn any more, I'm going 100% off of his one post and that wiki article. You know as muc…	/r/MensRights	29/12/12 02:15 AM
4	STORY OF THE YEAR: The falsely accused man whose accuser told him to "let bygones be bygones" after he spent 5 years in prison and had his life destroyed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification Jury nullification occurs when juries acquit criminal defendants who are technically guilty, but who do not deserve punishment. It occurs in a trial when a jury reaches a verdict contrary to the judge's instructions as to the law. It's quite cool, actually.	/r/MensRights	29/12/12 01:08 AM
