| 1 | Father facing financial ruin due to CS garnishments threatens suicide. Sick Subhumans from r/relationships response - "fuck him, call his bluff and do it anyway"What also needs to be talked about is the idea that threats of suicide are rooted in mental illness. To me, it sounds like he's using a threat of suicide as a form of political protest. This is totally legitimate. What is a hunger strike - for instance - then a threat of slow suicide? That his current wife would leave him, and the state lock him up, for threatening to end his life because he doesn't want support his children to the degree the community expects him to is dangerous and oppressive.… | /r/MensRights | 26/09/15 09:27 PM |
| 3 | California Legislature says: WE DON’T CARE that 95% of child support arrears is owed by poor men who cannot ever pay.The federal grants are not tied to the size of the award. You mentioned this in your link. And I agree. The thing is, I haven't been arguing otherwise. Can we put this one to bed? The state loses money... I have heard that some states lose money. Here's the thing: the standard of outrage shouldn't be whether the state "flips a profit." Rather, it should be whether the state is intruding on liberty interests in order to protect itself financially. Moreover, the opportunity to collect interest and… | /r/MensRights | 19/09/15 03:59 PM |
| 2 | California Legislature says: WE DON’T CARE that 95% of child support arrears is owed by poor men who cannot ever pay.Thanks for the link. I chalk people blaming "judges" for high support awards is an everyday way of saying "the state." It's a quibbling point in my opinion. Regardless if the federal grant is tied to the size of the award the state is pursuing a financial incentive for a judgment. Interest penalties make up for any difference - like an interest only loan - and present the opportunity for the state to collect an income stream indefinitley. The seizure of close to 1/3 of the pre-tax income of perh… | /r/MensRights | 19/09/15 12:50 PM |
| 2 | California Legislature says: WE DON’T CARE that 95% of child support arrears is owed by poor men who cannot ever pay.The state wouldn't be making those payments in the first place if the support had been made as they were supposed to. But how do you know that? I'll double-check because I could be wrong but I think child support is not counted as income for the custodial parent. I believe - and please correct me with some sources - but this includes welfare assessments. The inherent violation of current child support regimes is a belief by the state that it can appropriately assess the "adequacy" of support. Do… | /r/MensRights | 19/09/15 02:55 AM |
| 3 | California Legislature says: WE DON’T CARE that 95% of child support arrears is owed by poor men who cannot ever pay.I don't want to speak for MRMRISING, but I think that the state receives 1) federal funds for every successful judgement, and 2) expects to collect interest on arrears and judgments. Some evidence that supports this argument include the refusal of courts and legislators to credit non-custodial parents with non-ordered payments. Typically they interpret these payments as "gifts." So, effectively, two parents acting in their child's best interest agree to a private amount of support. But this priv… | /r/MensRights | 19/09/15 02:37 AM |

His life is effectively over, for doing what 18 y/o's and 15 y/o's have been doing for the whole of human history. If he were several years older, or in a position of authority, I might consider this a proportional sentence. But a three year age difference? A sex registrant forever because of consensual sex?

Men are always vulnerable to the "you're angry because you don't get laid" nonsense; just another way of saying "you are worthless to your species." It's just man-shaming. It says that to be a "real man" you have to get laid and be in a relationship. | /r/MensRights | 28/08/15 12:55 AM |

Of course it couldn't have been because they were attempting to crush freedom of speech and the free exchange of ideas or breaking the law. Because apparently the free exchange of ideas is "patriarchy." Terrifying.

The basic flaw of third-wave feminism is its complete and unapologetic lack of equity. Without equity you cannot have equality. Therefor, feminism is not about equality.

American courts loath the phrase "human rights" but I think that's precisely what we're talking about - for unmarried fathers especially. Not even a minimum substantive due process guarantee?

What I mean by that is gender identity isn't something the community gets to deconstruct, analyze, and then reconstruct in ways suitable to its goals. In other words I, as a male, do not appreciate feminists, women, comm. studies professors, women's shelters, and the like defining what "male" is and is not. That, naturally, is for each individual male to decide for themselves - and for men more generally - to decide for the gender. Secondly, I'm n… | /r/MensRights | 28/07/15 12:01 AM |

And since an employer can't legally pay a woman less than the minimum wage - and I wasn't being paid more than minimum wage - then it stands to reason that nearly every women occupied in minimum wage work isn't earning less than a male doing the equivalent job. Since most low-wage is in retail, food service, and hospitality, it's a safe bet most women are being paid the same as men in these industries. That's a… | /r/MensRights | 27/07/15 11:23 PM |

| 1 | For those who say the gender wage gap is a lie, how do you explain statistics like this?Well, clearly not "across the board." Women cannot legally be paid 77 cents less then the state's minimum wage. Therefor, women in this strata are likely earning the same as a man doing the same job. Generally a vassal intent on paying peon wages isn't going to gift a .77 cent to men for no reason. Basically, the wage-myth misrepresents the plight of some women as a problem for all women.

| 16 | Where have all the good men gone?The root of that delusion rests in the fact that women are only able to "leave men behind" because men are essentially subsidizing womens' freedom with our own impoverishment. Women can only enjoy their upward mobility so long as men continue to sacrifice themselves as some kind of community resource. It is absurd that women even feel entitled to define what masculinity means, and what it should be. I think that's for men to decide and we should remind ourselves of that. | /r/MensRights | 22/07/15 08:05 PM |
| 26 | Where have all the good men gone?I think what disturbs me about this article is the implied attitude that men are somehow a community resource - the value of our existence as men is directly proportional to our willingness to protect and support the female class.

If the woman is financially incapable of providing for a child she unilaterally chose to have the putative father can be required to order a minimal amount of child support - on par with half of a child's basic food and clothing needs.

Second, the negative inferences of this logic are equally oppressive. In essence, the "biology" argument says that men have less of a say because they were born without a womb.

But this is true only because the cost of their freedom is borne by the sever limitation on the male's reproductive choices. In other words, male reproductive oppression essentially subsidizes female freedoms in this arena.

Whether or not that event is likely to occur is not tantamount to the risk being non-existent. The entire point of a military draft is the sudden and immediate raising of conscripts to exercise war. Simply because a draft has not occurred since 1973 is not a prediction of future outcomes. In short, you are not cla… | /r/MensRights | 14/05/15 04:51 AM |

As a fundamental liberty abortion is not subject to a vote. All regulations affecting fundamental rights are subject to judicial review. There is no reason abortion should be an exception. as a reason to deny voting rights to women Under the OPs scant fact-pattern the denial is justified. It is also not a complete denial of a woman's right to vote. The denial is applied in extremely narrow circumstances and is not tantamount to a comple… | /r/MensRights | 13/05/15 11:35 PM |
| 2 | Should women be able to vote for a war or conscription service in a country where only men are drafted/conscripted?ABORTION: This analogy is false. A woman may remain abstinent whereas a conscript may not. A woman places herself in the situation of risking pregnancy. She has exercised a fundamental right. A conscript is ordered to report. Assuming we believe that fundamental rights should be left to a popular vote - which I do not - then all persons should have a right to vote on the matter as all persons are affected by the decision. | /r/MensRights | 13/05/15 10:46 PM |
| 1 | Should women be able to vote for a war or conscription service in a country where only men are drafted/conscripted?But in the OPs alternate universe, they should have a vote. It's obvious all underage males will eventually be eligible for the draft. Therefor, they should have a say. Further, this all assumes that the age of the males would not, or could not, be changed to suit the needs of the military. Wasn't Hitler trotting out 12 year-olds in the final months of WWII? | /r/MensRights | 13/05/15 10:26 PM |
| 2 | Should women be able to vote for a war or conscription service in a country where only men are drafted/conscripted?DRAFT: But men and women are not similarly situated when it comes to being drafted. Exceptions can be made for most men when it comes to compulsory military service. But in order for the male to be considered "ineligible" they must first be drafted or evaluated. The evaluation is specific to the needs of the military and are not immutable. For instance the age of the male is immaterial. All such males will eventually be eligible for the draft. Therefor, they should also have a say. By contrast, … | /r/MensRights | 13/05/15 10:24 PM |
| 2 | Should Divorced or Unmarried Men Cooperate for "The Sake of the Children?"Ohhh.....sorry. I totally misunderstood you. Agreed. | /r/MensRights | 13/05/15 09:28 PM |
| 1 | Should Divorced or Unmarried Men Cooperate for "The Sake of the Children?"I've argued for this myself. Our opponents would have us believe that because biology is immutable; and woman are only ones to get pregnant; and men can have sex then "walk away"; the woman alone decides what to do with the result. Therefor men are stuck with the woman's decision because, sex. I don't have time to work through the logic, but basically the argument equates abortion with a man's right to "walk away" or remain abstinent. Distilled to its basic essence the argument is a non-sequitur… | /r/MensRights | 13/05/15 09:20 PM |
| 1 | Should Divorced or Unmarried Men Cooperate for "The Sake of the Children?"Well said. As I commented below it appears most modern women wants all the benefits of marriage - children, support, time-off from child rearing, tax advantages, etc. - they just want that marriage without the man. Having children means you never really get to divorce. | /r/MensRights | 13/05/15 09:03 PM |
| 1 | Should Divorced or Unmarried Men Cooperate for "The Sake of the Children?"I agree. It's never enough. A non-custodial man can never give enough time, money, attention, or support. Basically, 90% of women want the benefits of marriage but without the man. *Slight edit. | /r/MensRights | 13/05/15 09:00 PM |

| 1 | Should Divorced or Unmarried Men Cooperate for "The Sake of the Children?"So, I take it you disagree? | /r/MensRights | 13/05/15 08:58 PM |
| 2 | Should Divorced or Unmarried Men Cooperate for "The Sake of the Children?"That's a good point. When your children think you're a deadbeat, or lives with a parent who thinks you're a deadbeat, there comes a point of diminishing returns. It really comes down to the sexist expectation that men are to be absolute martyrs irrespective of how abusive, shaming, or degrading the cause. | /r/MensRights | 12/05/15 11:06 PM |
| 2 | Judge Rules That a Mother’s Rights Trump the Father’s in the Delivery RoomFor the sake of argument, what rights does an unmarried father have? I understand the biological argument but doesn't that cut both ways? In essence a male is being discriminated against because he doesn't have a womb. | /r/MensRights | 12/05/15 09:53 PM |
| 25 | Jeremy Kyle attacks audience for LAUGHING at male domestic violence victim"The couple shake hands and agree to work together for the sake of the children." That concept irritates me. It creates a paradigm by which a divorced or unmarried male is caught between the rod of the law and the whip of moral duty. No rights, no cooperation. It sounds harsh but what is the legal sense of engaging, negotiating, or cooperating with a person when there is no right or remedy for a breach? | /r/MensRights | 12/05/15 09:17 PM |

| 1 | Need to vent/gather advice on cripplingly high child support [UPDATE]Also...don't listen to the mother's "agreements." She can't agree to a contract which is contrary to law. It is the state, not the mother, who determines what your obligations are, which ones you will pay, and how much support you are required to provide. | /r/MensRights | 29/04/15 08:09 AM |
| 1 | Need to vent/gather advice on cripplingly high child support [UPDATE]Your first and principle obligation is the support of your minor child according to your station in life. Read the first sentence carefully. It literally means your first and principle obligation is child support. You shall pay it before you pay any other obligation. That includes your stomach, your shelter, or your very life. Which is why nearly all states take it directly from your check. Almost every rational human being will attempt to feed and shelter themselves before they pay support, and… | /r/MensRights | 29/04/15 08:00 AM |

| 1 | Should men have the right to opt out of child maintenance payments IF they wanted an abortion and the woman decided to keep the baby?I don't think "if" should have anything to do with it. To legally mirror a woman's fundamental right to an abortion a man shouldn't have to prove anything. If in an allotted time the man decides he no longer wishes to be a father he should be able to simply stop being one. I would set this time period from the moment of conception up to a year after legal notification of the child's birth. If in the instance the child is born to impoverished circumstances, the father may be order to pay a nomina… | /r/MensRights | 08/03/15 04:31 AM |

| 3 | How many of you guys are just in favor of equal rights and how many are just crazy and anti-woman?Every political movement has a 'radical' faction - the "outliers." Presenting an outlier as the mean is, in my opinion, academically and politically dishonest. Although it is an extremely effective smear technique. Certainly some supporters of Men's Rights are "misogynistic," or racist. Just as it is statistically likely some feminists are "misandrists." I consider myself to be a practical feminist.
