| 1 | How do you tell a real rape victim from a fake?Let's see ... 21 karma, new account made on the 24th, every post is on one theme, started a MGTOW related subreddit the day he made his account ... I'm calling it. It's a troll. | /r/MensRights | 29/12/17 04:58 AM |
| -3 | I was banned from r/Canada simply for pointing blatant misandry in our refugee selection system.Top Google response: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/23/canada-syrian-refugee-resettlement-plan-no-single-men So, in about 10s, I found out that this was a 2 year old policy. Like I told the OP, I really don't care if he posts older material in here, because as long as it's still an ongoing problem, and it concerns men's rights, it's fair game. I was mostly trying to explain to him why the mods in the Canadian subreddit likely considered it trolling. From their perspective, this is so… | /r/MensRights | 26/12/17 05:01 AM |
| -1 | I was banned from r/Canada simply for pointing blatant misandry in our refugee selection system.It has, but I'm really talking about /r/Canada and their response. Go ahead and post it here. It's pertinent to why our subreddit exists and even if it's old, it's ongoing, and it's a great topic to nail on Trudeau for, even if /r/Canada likely considers it trolling because of its age and the fact it's kind of coming out of nowhere for them. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/17 04:54 AM |
| -5 | I was banned from r/Canada simply for pointing blatant misandry in our refugee selection system.As much as I 100% agree with your stance about the sexist nature of this policy, and was righteously angry when this first occurred, the fact this is really old news that was discussed at length over a year ago inclines me to the mod's stance. Resurrecting old grievances to spark new outrage is a kind of trolling. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/17 04:45 AM |
| 6 | AdviseOh God ... seriously, talk to a lawyer. Unless we're all up on your local jurisdiction and what the laws and standards are there, we cannot hope to give you reasonable advice. Surely, though, your government services have some tables or a tool where you can look up your likely CS, so you can go in somewhat informed. | /r/MensRights | 25/12/17 02:52 PM |
| 5 | Scientific study drops the naked truth about cheating in marriagesGenerally speaking, when women cheat it's after months of mulling it over, getting ducks in a row, letting the seed plant and take root, etc. so they are far better planned and organized to get away with it. For men it's generally more spontaneous. | /r/MensRights | 25/12/17 05:54 AM |
| 2 | Shake my head, people wonder why this sub exists...That seems rather likely to be fake. Sure, people like that exist and they make their decisions around economic stability and just use people to get it, but how many of them spill their entire thought process like this on the Internet? Seriously, the guy just welcomed her back and turned around and bought her diamond jewelry? That's fiction, not reality. Even the most naïve people don't just bounce back from being left in this fashion. | /r/MensRights | 24/12/17 04:47 PM |
| 2 | Pay Gap and sourcingThe problem with the pay gap argument is that there's virtually no study based off of government statistics that is going to do what's necessary to truly isolate out whether men and women get paid different amounts for the same work, because government statistics don't even remotely get down to the granularity you need to truly compare people at the same job. Think about how difficult that would be. Within an industry there's companies that pay more and companies that pay less for the same posit… | /r/MensRights | 24/12/17 04:29 PM |
| 16 | Overheard on a bus between two blue haired millennial feminists "Oh I loved it! That's why the new Star Wars film is RIGHT! Because it explains why there were no female Jedis before; because only the MEN got encouragement, the women got OPPRESSED!"I know, right? Ashoka Tano becomes a bona fide cult hit and is the star of the entire series, to the point where she gets resurrected for a later installment, and there's no female Jedi? I really do think part of the issue for modern, Millennial feminists is that they have such a short attention span and such a narrow realm of experience that they only see the last 20 minutes and the next 5 minutes in their window of perspective. | /r/MensRights | 24/12/17 04:22 PM |

Because it explains why there were no female Jedis before; because only the MEN got encouragement, the women got OPPRESSED!"Never underestimate the power of selling people what they want to hear. All you need to do is give them the first few steps down the road, and they give you the rest of the journey in their heads. | /r/MensRights | 24/12/17 04:07 PM |

I asked her how many more years she was going to get him all to herself for Christmas before I even got one. Silence.

| 5 | Pay raise for women at Wilfrid Laurier UniversityI've been heavily involved over there, but I'm now banned from /r/Canada for a week for insulting language. I guess telling a guy who intentionally drives stoned and brags about it that he's a waste of skin was too much to take. A lot of people in that discussion regularly post here, like me. | /r/MensRights | 24/12/17 05:56 AM |

And the irony is that you nail on the Honey Badgers for being slacktivists from your freshly fabricated alt you're using to troll /r/mensrights.

| 1 | Crushing Male Dissent: Petition to Dump Matt Damon' ‘Ocean’s 8’ Cameo Hits Goal of 19,000I hope he keeps it up. All it will take is one concerted Hollywood star that has enough money that he never needs to work for a living, and thus has the freedom to say what he means, and the house of cards will collapse. | /r/MensRights | 23/12/17 04:50 AM |
| 8 | The Women Who Run the ‘Star Wars’ UniverseAgreed. Measuring ethic and sex splits in screen time or 'centrality' for ethnicities or sexes is about as ridiculously asinine as I think it can get. Let's put Bollywood movies or Korean movies through that software and see how extremely popular and profitable movies from either region do with that measuring stick?

| 1 | Woman, 37, convicted of killing her fiance after she sabotaged his kayak is leaving prison just SIX WEEKS after sentencingMaybe in the old Soviet Bloc, but compare their per capita GDP to the rest of Europe and they don't fare well. Latvia's figure (14.5K) is less than half of France's (36K), about 1/3 of Germany's (41K) and is even significantly lower than nations struggling at the moment, like Spain (26K), or Italy (30k). In fact, even lowly Portugal (19K) and Greece (18K), both swimming with employment issues and debt, still top Latvia. | /r/MensRights | 22/12/17 07:17 PM |
| 1 | Woman Convicted of Sabotaging Her Fiance's Kayak and Letting Him Drown Walks FreeHmmm, if we try the old reversal ... A man takes the plug out of his fiancé's kayak before they head out onto the water. She drowns. Was it intentional, or a prank gone wrong? Murder or Manslaughter? Either one should typically see you in jail, so on the surface the pussy pass seems intact. But then again, she's getting deported back to Latvia ... a fate worse than death? | /r/MensRights | 22/12/17 01:46 PM |

We are not trying to get people to hate white guys. We need people to have good coping mechanisms.” If your coping mechanisms include race-wide generalizations and sexist/racist concepts like privilege, which you think 'are a thing', then it's most definitely a vehicle for intolerance and hate.

| 3 | Something made me mad on facebook. It was about Baby Daddies.Because they can? Humanity is like water. We'll typically flow to the lowest common denominator once emotion gets roped in. Even educated, rational, reasonable people can devolve into irrational, reactive people once emotion shows up. The fairest system is the system built to minimize the damage that two emotionally charged people can do to each other, because often both sides will be looking to do damage. Unfortunately, our system doesn't see it like that, and so pretty much opens the door to o… | /r/MensRights | 22/12/17 11:55 AM |
| 26 | My EX is about to receive almost 50% of my take home for 1 child that I have 50%+ of the time.Welcome to the daily ass-fucking we call child support. Everyone involved knows what the actual costs are, and everyone knows that you'll pay more than your share of the costs to 'equalize' the incomes between the two homes, for 'reasons', and everyone knows that she'll pocket the difference. Most jurisdictions, with 50% primary care, would either a) forego child support altogether, or b) calculate the CS for both people's incomes, and take the net. I'm assuming that b) is your situation, and wi… | /r/MensRights | 22/12/17 11:29 AM |

As long as unwanted kissing and drunk sex are part of your statistic, you're padding it quite high, and all of these studies have those two things (and more), wrong with them. This is touched upon in the couple of paragraphs about different definitions, but not in… | /r/MensRights | 22/12/17 04:56 AM |
| 3 | Something made me mad on facebook. It was about Baby Daddies.Well, I know 11 divorced men, and before last weekend, 8 of them had experienced parental alienation for a period of their children's youth. As of last weekend, one of the remaining three told me he missed seeing my posts on Facebook, because he at least felt like someone understood what he was going through with his son. So, that number became 9 of 11. My sample isn't random, of course, and is all people roughly my age and known to me, but that kind of split shows you prevalent it can be. | /r/MensRights | 22/12/17 03:21 AM |

| 11 | I've been fired. Now i need adviceYour only defense against character assassination is a lawsuit. What allows these idiots to get away with it is most people won't sue. It's actually rather cheap to sue, and the vast majority of them never make it to court. The minute they get served, the first thing their lawyer is going to say is to settle so that it never makes to a judge. So, sue literally everyone who said or implied you were a pedophile.

Start slapping down lawsuits and name your employer and name some of those people who spread the rumours or maligned your reputation. Find out what the defamation laws are in your state and start working them. Start with an affidavit from your sex partner, so that you have something on paper, legally, that says she was of age.

Facebook you have to harden up, but Reddit accounts are like water because they are honestly anonymous. You instantly become another person if you create a new account. Highly recommended. | /r/MensRights | 20/12/17 01:09 AM |

But, I've given that kind of advice. I told a buddy of mine to put his stuff in storage rather than sell it, because you never know when things will go sour ... and they did. I've also recommended the 'emergency bachelor kit' where you have Ikea plates, pots, shower curtain, towels and silverware, still in the packages, so that you can bolt if you have to and still reasonably exist. So ... am I like this woman? A bit, sure. | /r/MensRights | 19/12/17 05:22 AM |

You'd find lots of mentions of my business, my partners, my patients.

Exercise helps normalize your circadian rhythm. It also burns off stress and the positives you'll see in your body will help give you a sense of forward motion. Of course, you should try to go to sleep at the same time very night, to help this process along.

It is, in most jurisdictions, well above 50% of that child's actual real world costs, and that's largely because the system assumes that if you have a fiscal advantage, you'll leverage it and use the extra money to solicit the kids away from Mom.

Given that sexual assault is typically harder to prove, are these numbers for sexual assault really 'low', or are they actually 'accurate'? | /r/MensRights | 09/12/17 01:59 AM |

The women that went up to Louis CK's room, for example, would have to be naïve in the extreme if they didn't think something was going to get proposed, at the very least. But ...

The second she works to hide the body, she's proving she's no longer temporarily insane. Insanity might cover the actual killing itself, but now she's into obstructing justice territory, which she did twice, both by the attempts to dispose and hide the body from authorities AND by consciously lying to the authorities to throw off their inquiry.

| 130 | Slide from my social psychology course todayMen do more damage (by far) Here in Canada, 4 of every 5 people killed by a domestic partner are women. Virtually every shelter system website lists this statistic as one of their rationales for why they don't admit men, with the implied assumption being that it's so much worse for women that they are kind of in triage mode, and only dealing with the worst cases. Of course, there's over 100 000 people who report DV issues or are affected by them in any given year, and 40-45 000 people that use o… | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 08:12 PM |
| 3 | Women get a taste of having to pay alimony and they HATE it. Much moaning about the unfairness of it all...The state can pass legislature that make it easier for you to become happy. Arguably, but I'd say that their power to do so is heavily limited. Look at alimony now ... how happy does it make people? It makes Mom, who is overwhelmingly the one that sacrifices her career to raise kids, overwhelmingly happy. On the other hand, it ropes in Dad to paying for his EX-WIFE for a set number of years, perhaps even permanently, and in a lot of cases he's paying more money than she could have ever earned in… | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 06:54 PM |
| 15 | Women get a taste of having to pay alimony and they HATE it. Much moaning about the unfairness of it all...Essentially. A lot of Norwegian businesswomen made out like bandits. But, to be fair, they paid the price. They started businesses, ran them until they were large enough that they had the big business experience boards look for in big corporations, and put in the time. Board members on big corps are older people, who have sold off their own businesses, for the most part. It's kind a quasi-retirement position where you enjoy your board stipend and meet once a month, but you're essentially retired… | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 06:34 PM |

| 1 | Women get a taste of having to pay alimony and they HATE it. Much moaning about the unfairness of it all...I think that when you marry you agree to maximize your joy in life as if you were one. Pretty much everyone enters into a marriage with this in mind. Unfortunately, women initiate 75-80% of all divorces, so it's quite often the men in those marriages finding out that their relationship is no longer life-long, as they supposed, but some shorter version. If you're forced to think about your own life after divorce then you might not be able to become as happy. So? The state's role isn't to ensure t… | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 06:22 PM |
| 33 | Women get a taste of having to pay alimony and they HATE it. Much moaning about the unfairness of it all...A great example is Norway and their imposed quota on female board membership in their companies. The driver for the legislation was the relatively low representation of women on boards, in the single digits, and the federal government decided that if companies wouldn't hire women for board positions, they'd force the issue. Of course, that entire mindset is predicated on the belief that the reason behind the dearth of female board members was discrimination. In the end, that wasn't the actual re… | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 06:14 PM |
| 11 | Women get a taste of having to pay alimony and they HATE it. Much moaning about the unfairness of it all...It's heavily dependent upon jurisdiction. Several European nations and the odd state (see Quebec in Canada) have provisions for comiture where the marriage produces an independent entity that holds property, and doesn't necessarily dissolve to property split upon the divorce, so prenups aren't necessarily used in those civil law jurisdictions. And pre-nups that are considered predatory or unfair have been set aside, in most nations or states that offer them, so the fact they might be legally ten… | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 06:06 PM |
| 8 | Women get a taste of having to pay alimony and they HATE it. Much moaning about the unfairness of it all...There's 9 states that still have common law statutes on the books, but that's precisely why I say 'some provisions' up above. There's lots of ways that the state uses to re-allocate wealth, and common law provisions are only one tool in the toolbox for them. The US also has palimony, and most states that don't have common law provisions have palimony in place. You don't have to be officially married, as per the state, to have the state re-allocate wealth via palimony. | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 05:35 PM |
| 1 | Women get a taste of having to pay alimony and they HATE it. Much moaning about the unfairness of it all...Yeah, common law is just one of the methods by which property gets re-allocated. Whether the state does it by palimony or via some common law provision, the end result is the same. That's why I said 'some provisions' above. The method and name matters less than the end result. | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 05:22 PM |
| 17 | Women get a taste of having to pay alimony and they HATE it. Much moaning about the unfairness of it all...Virtually every jurisdiction in North America and Europe has some provisions for civil partnerships, common law relationships, etc. that will make the most onerous issues with marriage apply, even if you're not married. The exact time you need to live together before those apply varies by jurisdiction. So, for example, in my province here in Canada, the standard is a) live together for 2+ years, b) have a kid together and live together for any duration. The only way to avoid the state lumping in… | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 03:57 PM |
| 8 | Sick of struggling to meet a man, a feminist journalist reveals "ways" to meet a man in real life. She suggests intentionally touching a man in a bar. Imagine if the genders were reversed!We all spin our stories to our benefit, male or female, but women generally pound on their exes harder, in my opinion. Some of that's because of opportunity, such as the fact having the kids in your domicile opens up avenues to poison them against the other spouse. With the big majority of women having those kids the bulk of the time, they clearly have more angles to exploit in this regard ... and do. Same thing goes with no-kids divorces. With women making most of the divorce decisions, they al… | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 03:49 PM |

| 4 | Women get a taste of having to pay alimony and they HATE it. Much moaning about the unfairness of it all...Why should the state be involved? It's clearly a private dispute. If your spouse violated a contract between the two of you, small claims or civil court await. There's no need for a formalized, state-sanctioned system of wealth re-allocation for this to be handled. | /r/MensRights | 08/11/17 03:34 PM |

| 2 | Swamp goes full misandry -- Mandates divorced men pay income tax on money (alimony) spent by their ex-wivesWhat a long-winded way to ultimately say that the end user of the funds should pay the taxes on them! I agree, but then again, I think spousal support in all its forms should vanish altogether. When the marriage ends, the money should end, too. THAT would be a true disincentive to divorce. | /r/MensRights | 06/11/17 12:46 PM |

| 2 | What Happened to All the Rape Culture Hysteria For Fall 2017? Did The Politics Of False Claims and Hysterical Statistics Change?I just read a copy of the Metro paper, which is a quasi local paper here in Edmonton, AB, Canada, and they had an opinion piece around the Weinstein affair where the author was positively exulting that men were getting their comeuppance, and she cited the 1 in 4 statistic for university students getting sexually assaulted.

"I'm At $13,000 A Month, What More Do You Want From Me?Several years ago, I proposed that we use a new unit for child support/spousal support for wealthy wallets like Tyrese: the Harvard. Nominally, Harvard tuition for the year is around 45000 USD. So, at 13K a month, he's paying his ex-wife enough to put three kids through Harvard, each year, or three Harvards. Seeing as he's just got the one child, she gets put into the top private school in the country, using up one Harvard, and Mommy pockets the other two Harvards. | /r/MensRights | 02/11/17 09:00 PM |
