I don't know of any myself, but I have to believe they're out there (whether any are located in your locale is another matter, however). You could always create one. I have often considered founding MRM advocacy and support networks, but currently this is infeasible for me (a few more years, however, and that will change). | /r/MensRights | 27/02/15 10:15 PM |

| 15 | Jessica Valenti tries to justify her hostility to due process for men with a rationale that doesn't hold waterIt is also important to note, as far as I understand it, that civil trials do not permit anonymity of either of the parties. So, the plaintiff (or accusor, in the criminal context) would not be able to make claims behind a veil. | /r/MensRights | 12/02/15 05:11 PM |
| 2 | Woman jailed after 11th false rape claim in a decade.An unprovable accusation is radically distinct from a provably false accusation. This distinction needs to be shouted from the rooftops on a regular basis. The onus is on the state, not the accusor, to prove the guilt of the accused, and the state's inability to do so brings no punishment down on the accusor (nor should it). | /r/MensRights | 09/02/15 02:53 PM |
| 0 | Woman jailed after 11th false rape claim in a decade.This probably doesn't need to be pointed out, but of course the consequences of a false accusation don't always outweigh those of an actual rape. I share the spirit of your comment, however: that knowingly false accusations of a crime should carry severe consequences. Whether or not the punishment(s) should be equal, however, is another story entirely. Open-ended sentencing, combined with the political and judicial will to hold accountable false accusers, is the ideal solution. Generally, I am w… | /r/MensRights | 09/02/15 02:47 PM |
| 0 | Woman jailed after 11th false rape claim in a decade.I share your indignation, but I disagree that false rape accusations are plausibly characterisable as being worse than rape, at least not in general. That said, in particular contexts, I can see some false rape accusations (e.g. wrongful conviction, far-reaching public stigma) being worse than some actual rapes (e.g. someone being intoxicated, unable to consent [according to current law[). As well, post-violation, a massive percentage of rape victims do continue to suffer as a result - not a pub… | /r/MensRights | 09/02/15 02:28 PM |
| 1 | NY Times op-ed: The media "has reason to retry the" Sulkowicz case, and the feds are "now forcing schools to go too far" to correct sexual assault problemIn the case of violent crimes, the law is capable of dictating clear standards. There is a wealth of concise jurisprudence here in Canada (and, I presume the United States) on this subject. You do infer the subjective state of mind of the accused/accusor from the evidence, but that is fundamentally different from the standard itself being objective. Subjective standard: "what did the accused think/do/etc". Objective standard" "what would a reasonable person think/do/etc". Here in Canada, we only… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/15 04:15 PM |
| 5 | Columbia Mattress Rape Case is Shaming Without ProofFrom the newspaper's perspective: yes, I think it's believable that it's a calculated move to limit the scope of liability to reputation. Women commenting on the issue, it seems reasonable to presume, are less objectionable. Not saying I agree with it in principle - I hate it. But, pragmatically, I understand it. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/15 03:57 PM |
| 1 | NY Times op-ed: The media "has reason to retry the" Sulkowicz case, and the feds are "now forcing schools to go too far" to correct sexual assault problemThe third point - about the necessity for an objective, "reasonable person" standard, is completely objectionable. Here in Canada, at least, it is necessarily a subjective standard for the mental elements of any form of assault. What is at issue is the actual state of mind of the accused (I.e. whether or not they intended to make contact, or whether or not they had knowledge of, or were reckless or wilfully blind towards, a lack of consent, etc) and the complainant (I.e. whether or not they cons… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/15 08:05 AM |

| 0 | Sexual assault on campus: "My university failed me". Women "made" to report it to the police; and the police "insist" on a court case. "What I wanted clearly didn’t matter… I never wanted the hassle". Alleged attacker is declared innocent — but he's still "my attacker".I think it's pretty obvious to all of us that there is no evidence that most rape accusations are false. Does it happen? Absolutely. How often? We don't know - not in relation to total claims. But, again, don't get lost in the prevalence of false (or, more reasonably: mistaken) accusations. You don't need to, in order to advocate for constitutional protections of due process and nondiscrimination against men and boys. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/15 02:39 PM |

"What I wanted clearly didn’t matter… I never wanted the hassle". Alleged attacker is declared innocent — but he's still "my attacker".It's really dishonest to claim that most rape accusations are false. I've never seen proof of that, and I doubt you have either. That said, the point of due process, regardless of the prevalence of false accusations, is to ensure the accused is protected in case of a false (or, just as if not more importantly: honestly mistaken) accusation. We shouldn't be getting into the prevalence of false accusations. There aren't reliable stats on that sort of thing, and it doesn't matter in the least. It i… | /r/MensRights | 30/01/15 02:35 PM |
| 1 | Promoted comment: Why do we spend so long bashing feminism?Spreading awareness of what, specifically, present day feminism is, however, could be beneficial. A lot of people I meet in daily life who claim to identify with feminism have older doctrines in mind; many of them were almost entirely ignorant of the substance of modern day feminism, or paid lip service to particular notions (e.g. patriarchy) without understanding them at all. I often read on reddit that most people actually aren't feminist (though the movement does have formidable political pow… | /r/MensRights | 28/01/15 07:14 PM |

However, she appears to basically be without any financial means to provide compensation. But, couldn't Brian Banks claim not only against the false accuser, but also against involved third parties, e.g. The State?

| 1 | Male Victims Of Campus Sexual Assault Speak Out - We're Up Against A System That's Not Designed To Help UsAbsolutely agree. Accusations of rape and sexual assault are the most complex criminal matters to navigate - only the criminal justice system has experience with proper procedures surrounding cross-examination, testimony evaluation, evidence gathering. Moreover, the criminal justice system affords constitutional due process protections to the accused, the importance of which cannot be understated. No more kangaroo courts. The adjudication of criminal matters should take place solely within the c… | /r/MensRights | 28/01/15 01:03 PM |
| 4 | Promoted comment: Why do we spend so long bashing feminism?Perfect, I'm on board with that. I'm saying it would be most productive for us to emphasise this nuance at every opportunity. We need to make a concerted effort, together, to construct a positive narrative, of who we are and what we stand for, in the public consciousness. I meet far too many feminists who actually really only are committed to first wave feminism, but think the MRM is full of women-hating sociopaths. I do my best to educate them, one at a time, and form new allies to our cause. B… | /r/MensRights | 28/01/15 02:31 AM |
| 1 | Promoted comment: Why do we spend so long bashing feminism?Perhaps the MRM could benefit by being more specific in which wave of feminism we really are at odds with (third wave). Obviously, I can only speak for myself, but I am 100% on board with equality in terms of power. First wave feminism makes complete sense (though it really is best thought of as the Women's Rights Movement). Third wave notions of rape culture, patriarchy, and etc are where I'm off the train. I am unclear about some of the transitional aspects of second wave. My point is simply t… | /r/MensRights | 27/01/15 11:54 PM |

| 1 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeI looked into the matter, and you were right. Thank you for playing a causal role in freeing me from the perceived obligation to add those stupid disclaimers. | /r/MensRights | 26/01/15 07:29 AM |
| 1 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeI absolutely agree that my being a lawyer or not isn't worth fuck all in terms of argument substance. However, your assurances can't simply be taken at face value for my purposes. That's just the reality of it. If I don't 'fit in' because of me covering my ass to the best of my knowledge at any given time, well, that's an acceptable loss on my books. | /r/MensRights | 25/01/15 11:49 PM |
| 1 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeI actually appreciate you pointing out the reddit disclaimer, which I will look into. I hope you can appreciate that the legal field in general is not forgiving right now, employment wise, so my being cautious about regulatory compliance isn't about pretentiousness. | /r/MensRights | 25/01/15 11:34 PM |

| 1 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeAgain, I'll have to look into it myself. Professional regulatory bodies have their own rules and standard in each jurisdiction. What will be sufficient in New Mexico could very well be insufficient in Manitoba. I am new. But, are you an Ontario lawyer? If not, reserve judgement about how my regulatory compliance works. | /r/MensRights | 25/01/15 11:30 PM |
| 1 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeAbout what? That I'm a member of the legal profession, or that I'm required to add disclaimers? Believe whatever you want about the former. Regarding the latter, the Rules of Professional Conduct are pretty clear. Apparently, reddit has its own disclaimers, as has now been pointed out to me. I'll be exploring whether those are sufficient to cover my professional ass. Until then, I'm going to keep playing it safe and adding my own disclaimers.

I'll look into those to see if they are sufficient to allow me to cease providing my own. You seriously wouldn't believe the sort of nonsense trouble that can come about by dropping the ball on something like this. Be cool, dude. I'm just covering my ass.

| 2 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeChocoboat, your first example is exactly what I was pointing to. I have never been suggesting that every form of misrepresentation related to a sexual encounter vitiates consent. I have simply been pointing out that the law does, in some jurisdictions, recognise some specific deceptions which will vitiate consent. People on here have been saying things like rape and fraud are always mutually exclusive, when that isn't the case. none of the above constitutes legal advice | /r/MensRights | 25/01/15 10:29 PM |
| 2 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapePretty sure rape is simply nonconsensual sexual intercourse - no requirement of 'forcefulness'. | /r/MensRights | 25/01/15 10:26 PM |
| 1 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeThat isn't necessarily true. 'False pretenses' could have a very broad or very narrow meaning. U.S. law could contain some specific sorts of fraudulent misrepresentation which would vitiate consent (e.g. regarding the identity of the partner, the existence of a high-risk of transmission of a sexual-transmitted disease [this is law in Canada]), without endorsing all deceptions as vitiating consent.

| 0 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeYou can lie about your name, profession, etc, and none of that would constitute fraud vitiating consent (in Canada). The 'identity of the partner' has a pragmatic, reasonable demarcation as 'someone personally known to the other party' - it does not include characteristics such as income, name, or etcetera. All that is relevant is that each party knows who the other party is and consents to the activity with them specifically.

| -1 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeHow do you disagree with the premise of being able to consent? Are you just trolling? If not, how does a comatose person consent to anything? Obviously, they can't. There are clearly standards regarding whether or not someone has the capacity to consent to something, sexual or otherwise. Are you going to make any actual arguments, or just continue to throw a tantrum? | /r/MensRights | 25/01/15 08:00 PM |
| 1 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeIf you can't have consented, because of deception, then you didn't consent. I can't make this simpler. I get the feeling that you just don't want to actually think your way through this. I'm also pretty sure you're just downvoting my posts here because you disagree with me.

| 1 | Con Victim Wants to Make Sex Under False Pretenses RapeIt is fraud. But the fraud in this context vitiates the consent to sexual intercourse. Non-consensual sexual intercourse is rape. See how that works? | /r/MensRights | 25/01/15 06:55 PM |
| 2 | Affirmative Consent: de facto already in place in Canada.I support your efforts. I also think there is much to be said in the way the modifier 'sexual', as it relates to an 'assault', may differ as experienced by men. The 'sexual' modifier is extremely open-ended, to the point where 'sexual assault' need not in fact actually involve sexuality. It is "a crime of power, aggression, and control" which violates the sexual privacy of someone (R v V (KB)). Technically, if someone 'hits a man in the groin', this (often) would qualify as a sexual assault. How… | /r/MensRights | 25/01/15 06:42 PM |

Say someone consents to sex with "Bill", but partway through the encounter, "Bill" switches places with "Ted", his identical twin, whom then purports to be "Bill" and continues the sexual encounter.
