18	Single gendered schools. Is this the best way to provide good education to both genders or just a band-aid over a broken system? (X-Post from Egalitarianism)		FluffKitty	/r/MensRights	08/04/11 10:50 PM

1	I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do. No where did I say all of Canada in any of my posts. I am saying that the rights are not the same across the board but there are places where father's rights are being protected. If this isn't the norm in some places it should be. As for the US, there are a lot of things that need to be sorted out on top this... it is practically a joke. The set up of a putative registry is appalling. I can see how people would be enraged. I would be too! These men have shown an interest in their (possible) chil…	/r/MensRights	31/03/11 05:17 AM
1	I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do. Yup I did "Birth fathers rights are complicated and vary from province to province and state to state" so for further reading there is the Alberta laws as an example. It requires a court order to proceed with the adoption if the father can't be found or if it isn't safe for the mother/baby to contact the father. Not something that is very light and easy to do. As for your link, yes, it is tragic that it should slip though the cracks of the legal system. But the laws are in place today to protect…	/r/MensRights	31/03/11 04:56 AM
1	I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do. When an unwed mother requires the father's consent to place a child up for adoption, you'll be making a valid point. Did you read my link? It does require the consent of the biological father regardless of marital status. Because she can. And it also happens against his consent as well. Again, no she can't, have a read.	/r/MensRights	31/03/11 04:38 AM
1	I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do. Then why should he not have the same right?] He does since it takes 2 to put a baby up for adoption. However, putting up for adoption is not the same as just walking away. He can ask for adoption and she has to agree, the rights are the same as it stands. However, your argument would imply that the mother can just put it up whenever she likes without his consent so therefore he should be able to walk away. I don't think having a system set up that way would be beneficial to anyone involved.	/r/MensRights	31/03/11 04:28 AM
1	I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do. As I said before, I don't personally believe that adoption time periods as a valid excuse to walk away from your kid. However, to be fair to discussion I can entertain the idea some hold that it can be out and want it to be fair. I thought that a child could only be put up for adoption without a confirmed adopting family for a limited time (6months) or so The age to relinquish into the generic public adoption system is different depending on where you are from Some may argue that since it is sti…	/r/MensRights	31/03/11 04:16 AM
1	I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do. Interesting point. As I said before, the child can be put up at any time so by that reasoning the father can walk out at any time before the kid is 18 without repercussions. I see the father/mother fairness balance in it, but not for the child. I would argue that unless there are extreme circumstances (abuse, neglect etc) a child should not be put up for adoption past a certain age. But what age should that be? 2 years when they can start having long term memory? 1 year before they form bonds wi…	/r/MensRights	31/03/11 03:56 AM
5	I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do. I say no, the time limit is over. She has gone past the point of preventing this baby from existing so he is past the point of pretending it doesn't exist as well. That is my stand point. I was asking Demonspawn the details of his standpoint since the adoption time table is pretty wide.	/r/MensRights	31/03/11 03:48 AM
6	I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do. You can put any minor up for adoption. Does that mean his "time limit" is until the child is 18?	/r/MensRights	31/03/11 03:42 AM
3	Sounds like a feminist article, but I believe it has as much to do with men's rights. Who here would want the role of 'househusband,' and what can we all do to make it more socially acceptable? No, you have it wrong. There is in no way a sense of saying that men should now become slaves to women. What it is saying is that because of a social stigma that goes along with men staying home, or a feeling of being emasculated or shamed for not being the bread winner or lack of government balance that allows men to take an equal role raising the child, or any mixture of the above (all of which are things that MR wants to see changed), there is an imbalance of home duties created. Someone has …	/r/MensRights	08/03/11 10:38 PM

2	Men's Day is a celebration of men, economic, political, social and cultural achievements of men, bygone, contemporary and future. (regendered) Honour killing, groom burning, groom kidnapping, domestic violence and male infanticide are some of the brutalities that men have to endure. According to the UNICEF, more than 5,000 grooms are killed every year! And this is where it stops working... The rest of it is a good look at the other side of the coin though.	/r/MensRights	07/03/11 11:03 PM
1	Mother burned her 2 children to death because she wanted to create a 'drama'. This is not exactly a low bar for crazy. Anyone who does this for the creation of drama is most likely suffering from some form of mental disorder, vagina or penis doesn't make a difference. If you want examples of why women are just as capable of violence it is best not to use stories like this as examples. If you are trying to convince people that women can be violent, then don't offer them examples of lunatics. Give them something that can't be denied. Offering up these as examples just gives…	/r/MensRights	01/02/11 08:20 PM
1	Mother burned her 2 children to death because she wanted to create a 'drama'. I feel it is better to inform others of advancements in the field rather than spin our wheels on the negatives especially when those negatives include the actions of crazy people. You can't control crazy, you can't change or prevent it, there is no point. If that is what you focus on, then you have already lost.	/r/MensRights	31/01/11 09:59 PM
3	Mother burned her 2 children to death because she wanted to create a 'drama'. In my opinion, the people who subscribe to MR all know that women are just as violent as men, possibly even more so. Seeing these articles is not an advancement towards a solution. I would love to see more articles about what is being done to rectify the situation and less about things like this. An obviously crazy person doing something horrendous. This isn't the justice system making pardons because she is a women, this isn't a man being falsely accused of doing this because "No woman can do s…	/r/MensRights	31/01/11 07:59 PM

1	Gender pay gap 'down to women's lifestyle choices' she said: “In Britain half of all women in senior positions are child free and a lot more of them have nominal families with a single child and they subcontract out the work of caring for them to other women.” Where are the men in this? Oh right, in Britain, there is currently only 2 weeks of paternity leave. In April 2011 they could get up to 26 weeks. This might change the family dynamic a bit so that the ladies don't have to choose between work and family because the men aren't allowed to hav…	/r/MensRights	20/12/10 09:37 PM
1	List of Rights that are being denied to Western Men Aww, I feel for you. That really sucks the big one. Who is calling you the "brokedick asshole". They don't know what they are talking about. Is your kid in sports? Yes. Do you contribute to this effort? Yes. Then you are a great dad who can have your kids in sports. Nothing to be ashamed of, sad maybe that it wasn't direct, but not ashamed.	/r/MensRights	11/12/10 12:10 AM
1	List of Rights that are being denied to Western Men Right to choose how child support is spent Yes, this to a point. Obviously, that spending shouldn't be spent on parental luxuries or addictions, it is for the child. But it would be hard to define where the decisions end. Here are some ridiculous examples, where should the line be drawn? I only want jimmy eating whole grains, don't spend my money on wonder bread. Or, You go out for dinner 3 nights a week, my money shouldn't be paying for that, cook at home. Little Suzie can play hockey but that …	/r/MensRights	10/12/10 11:44 PM
1	List of Rights that are being denied to Western Men Aren't these mom dead-beats? I would say yes especially if there was no effort made to finding the father. I did not argue this point in your original post. I refer you to my post above. I added an additional thought.	/r/MensRights	10/12/10 11:12 PM
0	List of Rights that are being denied to Western Men Adoption is a decision made by both biological parents. If they both agree, then ya, Giv'er. However what you stated above was "The right to not pay cs for an unwanted child, as long as intentions were made clear from the beginning" which is a different matter and I stand by what I said before. If you are responsible enough to engage in an act that has risks, you are responsible for any consequences. If you are trying to make the parallel argument that the man wants to put the child up for adopt…	/r/MensRights	10/12/10 10:55 PM
1	List of Rights that are being denied to Western Men Again I would have to disagree with you. At least about the adoption. I don't want to get into anything about abortion right now. From what you say, the father would also be giving to CS to the adoptive family and therefore, the child would be receiving support from 4 persons. As I stated before, the point of CS is so that the child does not suffer financially. In an adoptive home, the financial responsibility has been transferred willingly to the adoptive parents. In return the biological paren…	/r/MensRights	10/12/10 10:42 PM
1	List of Rights that are being denied to Western Men I disagree with your last point "The right to not pay cs for an unwanted child, as long as intentions were made clear from the beginning." I believe that the only persons that should not be forced to pay CS are the victims of rape or the victims where there was a misrepresentation of birth control being used. The point of child support is so that the child does not suffer financially, even if the pregnancy was unwanted.

In Canada the rules pertaining to maternity and parental leave can be found here http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/ei/types/special.shtml There is a total of 15 week maternity leave for the birth mother or surrogate and 35 weeks of parental leave to be split between the two parents however they choose.

3	List of Rights that are being denied to Western Men I don't understand how this translates to a right being denied. Yes, the boobie people have a lot of marketing, but it is not saying that because we have breast cancer research we don't need prostate cancer research. In fact breast cancer also kills a number of men Even you note that the research is not gender exclusive. Just because they hock their wares more loudly, they get more donations. That is how advertising/lobbying works. I don't see how that is the same as denying a right to the other…	/r/MensRights	10/12/10 09:19 PM

5	This attitude is why women are awarded crazy amounts of child support. So let me get this straight. You are talking about a completely fictitious number and getting upset about a woman getting said fictitious number. Yah, women getting 100 000,00$ a month in child support is crazy. Good thing she is getting "a reasonable amount". Damn her for getting that reasonable amount. Rabble Rabble ataraxiary is right, there is a lot more to what child support is put to than you are thinking of.	/r/MensRights	08/11/10 11:09 PM
