Good effort dodging the question. Does the parents' religious freedom trump a child's right to life? Does it trump a child's right to sexual consent? Does it trump a girl's right to bodily autonomy? Answer the fucking question.

All you get are insults. I have arguments but you don't deserve to hear them. In other words you don't have shit. It is enough for you to know that in the U.S. normative religious practices are protected and your friends will not he able to change that. I take it you're on board with legalizing FGM in the US, then? What about if there was a minority religion where the "normative practice" is to ritually sacrifice the extra baby when twins or triplets are born? How about a religion where girls ar…

Do you have an actual argument for why one person's freedom of religion is more important to society than another person's bodily autonomy, or is all you have insults?

Its never a good idea to celebrate gross abuses of human rights by governments, for any reasons. Exactly. Which is why gross violations of infant boys' right to bodily autonomy by governments - i.e. by keeping it legal to cut parts off them while baby girls are protected - for any reason, including being too chickenshit to risk upsetting a bunch of religious nuts, should not be tolerated.

but if the guy doesn't want it, shouldn't it be impossible in the first place? (Erection and everything) Have you ever gotten a boner for no apparent reason? If you haven't, you're the exception. Sexual arousal is not under voluntary control, and men can get hard even when they don't want it just the same as women can get wet when they don't want it.

You honestly don't see the difference between an abortion and signing away parental rights? How about the fact that after one of those, there's still a child that needs to be housed, fed, and educated, while after the other one, there's no such thing. A woman's choice to not have a child (after sex has occurred) vs A mans choice to not have a child (after sex has occurred) have different impacts on the life of a third party Do you also oppose Safe Haven laws and any other programs which allow a …

Then provide a clear and convincing argument for why there is a fundamental difference. And you don't get to use appeals to biology if we're talking about the US, because our government has decided women have the right to opt out of parenthood, separate from the right to terminate pregnancy, by passing Safe Haven laws. Your side is arguing that having sex is consent to parenthood if you're male (having sex, not consenting to sex, since I've never gotten a straight answer from any of you on wheth…

Apparently you missed the part where I said that it's not just specifically for the child's needs. It's to support a lifestyle somewhat comparable in both households. And unless it's joint custody, that's bullshit, just like alimony being set to allow the recipient to maintain their pre-divorce lifestyle is bullshit. And speaking of which, isn't it convenient that forcing a "comparable lifestyle in the two households" also vastly improves the recipient parent's lifestyle, and said recipient isn'…

If it wasn't proportional to income then poor men would end up paying a much larger percentage than rich men, would you prefer that? Poor people spend a larger percentage of their income on necessities than rich people. That's just a fact of life. Child support isn't a tax, it's supposed to be paying for the costs that are necessary to raise a child. If either parent wants to spend more than that, they should of course be free to, but if the parent receiving CS wants to give the kid lobster dinn…

I have a better idea. If one of you wants to keep the child, then they can pay for that decision themselves. What you are still arguing for is that if one parent doesn't want a child, then the other parent has the power to unilaterally force the other to pay large sums of money to support the decision they made to keep it.

A) Men shouldn't be able to force women to or to not have abortions in any scenario. Stop with that fucking strawman. Nobody is claiming this. Women still have to pay child support if they lose custody of their child, because fetuses don't have rights, but children do. Look up Safe Haven Laws and other methods by which a woman can give an unwanted baby up for adoption. As far as I'm aware they are not on the hook for 18 years of child support if they do this.

If a woman doesn't know she is pregnant until after a certain point then it's tough luck and the baby is the one punished with less opportunity? That's what happens if a woman genuinely has no idea who the father is.

Totally agree. Why should his children be way worse off than their millionaire father? Why is the child entitled to a millionaire lifestyle, something 99% of children in the country don't have, because their father is a millionaire?

"Illegitimate." "Out of wedlock." Get that tradcon shit out of here. The idea that marriage is required for a child to be "legitimate" is completely obsolete in the US because, because the parents' marital status no longer has much to do with whether the child will grow up with both parents present. (a) there are plenty of unmarried couples raising children in a committed relationship, and (b) the divorce rate is high enough that marriage is no guarantee of a stable home environment.

She said there are 25 million climate change refugees and 18 million of those are women and children. So I politely asked her how many are children. She did not know. So she did not know how many are women. So she really does not know if there are more male or female climate change refugees.

It would have been much better if we just got a judge to bring us up and grant us the same rights as women, not tear them down and make it so that neither gender is protected from genital mutilation.

Op nor I were talking about coercion. You're talking about an issue of reproductive rights. Coercion is involved by default whether you like it or not, because any person who cannot legally opt out of parenthood can be legally coerced into parenthood.

Toxic masculinity refers to the way a person (of either gender) punishes a male who doesn't embody the performative aspects of traditional masculinity. It is not about how masculine you are, it's about how you treat men who are not masculine. So in other words, "gender role enforcement against males." You're 0 for 1 so far.

No. "Internalized Misandry" and "Internalized Misogyny" have merit. The latter term was coined by Feminists to describe women internalizing negative aspects of gender roles and as a result behaving in ways that are harmful to other women or to themselves. It follows that internalized misandry would be men internalizing negative aspects of gender roles and behaving in ways that are harmful to other men or to themselves. Those would both be subsets of internalized sexism, i.e. enforcing sexism aga…

But hypothetically, you actively chose to have sex. Hypothetically. Realistically, as has been pointed out innumerable times, legal precedent in the US is that it even if you didn't consent to the sex, even if you could not possibly have consented because you were a minor at the time of conception, you are still on the hook.

"The father of Jane's child has been fighting since day one to be in their child's life." OP, if this meme is yours can you change that to "his"? Use of "their" as a singular gender-neutral pronoun is incorrect since the sentence refers to someone whose gender is already specified.

If he is talking about the legal definition of rape then he is correct, men can't legally be raped. Instead it is called sexual assault. As long as the sentences are the same, I don't see the problem in having different names for it depending on gender. Imagine if the legal definition of murder only applied when a black person killed someone, and when a white person did it it was just prosecuted as "manslaughter" or "homicide." Even if the sentences are the same, it doesn't solve the problem of …

It's not that it's explicitly in the law, it's more that most of the arguments for the draft or for conscription end up taking the form of: "If you're reaping the benefits of living in our society you should be willing to defend it!" and treating military service as the price of not just voting, but military service as a whole. In terms of actual laws, it's generally the reverse; that the right to vote is treated as an expected reward for draft eligibility. For example, I know that the voting ag…

So, is sexual orientation protected? According to your logic, since born differences in brain chemistry aren't real, it's fine to discriminate against people who "choose" to have sex with people of the same sex, right? For that matter, if only things that are in-born matter, then religion, language, or even ethnic or cultural identity would be non-protected as well. After all, they're just "lifestyles."

Rape is sexual intercourse without consent, mutilation is bodily modification without consent.

Yeah, and some people may need to get their feet amputated for legitimate medical reasons (e.g. complications of diabetes). Without a medical reason, severing a nonconsenting person's feet is absolutely mutilation. I mean, surely you don't think having a testicle/testicles removed due to cancer is mutilation of course. No, but castrating prepubescent boys for nonmedical reasons (e.g. stopping them from going through puberty so their voices don't deepen) IS mutilation.

He wasn't found guilty. He was still imprisoned for several hours, and subject to "intimate tests" which basically translates to sexually assaulted or raped by the cops. A trial can take years and cost the defendant tens of thousands of dollars, for which the state does not compensate cleared defendants (and public defenders are notoriously useless). Then there's loss of employment and various extralegal social punishments. Not convicting innocent men doesn't make the accusations not damaging.

Does this have to be caused by spacial reasoning as many commenters are claiming, or is this just an extension of men, on average, being less risk-averse? The drawback of looking for shortcuts is that you can also run into unforeseen delays, get lost, or, in the circumstances where human evolution mostly took place, get into a dangerous situation, so it would make sense for the sex which is more likely to take risks in general to also be more "experimental" with navigation.

Not only that, but casting them out from a parade which is part of a movement that exists specifically to protect people who don't conform to gender roles, and was more or less built by non-conforming men. This is something that should be an LGBT issue, but the LGBT movement has turned its back on gay and bi men because of their gender, which means it's the MRM's problem now.

My experience with feminists tells me that feminism is compatible with men's rights. Have you tried bringing it up around one?

...are you shitting me? You think women aren't divided by racial or political tensions? Is that why white women voted for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton? Is that why around 95% of black women voted for Obama over a ticket with Sarah Palin? Women have more solidarity than men, but they're not even close to being a unified hive mind like you seem to be claiming.

There's a big difference between an "oppressor class", especially one that's nearly 50% of the human population everywhere in the world, and people with a specific, diagnosable mental illness that causes them to treat others like shit.

OP's direct reply to my comment: You know, as much as you might not like to admit it the male definitely does have pretty damn different brain chemistry when it comes to sex.

I think you should take into account the emotional state of the victim. I honestly highly doubt this 13 year old boy would have been traumatized or given a single shit about this later in his life. More likely the fact that this is publicized and I'm sure all his friends and family know is what is actually going to severely traumatize him. Victim status is a weird thing like that.

I don't think that feminists are to blame for the suffering of abused husbands anymore than I think men are to blame for the gap in wages, for example. But Feminism IS responsible for abused husbands. I'm not saying women would never abuse men without Feminism, but the Duluth Model, a system that treats all domestic abuse as "gender violence against w…

See, farming kind of changed... everything. Completely changed, turned on head, out the window. We went from being hunter-gatherers who were nomadic, worked maybe a maximum of 20 hours a week, and had a very equal society... to kind of fucking ourselves over. Suddenly we had to stop moving, which meant winter started being an actual problem. We also had to start working potentially up to a hundred hours a week at some points during the harvest season, and we also saw the first birth of sexism. O…

Please, Ill humor you.....HOWWWWWW the fuck are eye lids comparable to foreskin? For one thing, they're both pieces of skin which have the important function of protecting highly-sensitive body parts from the elements. Removing them degrades the function of the organs they're associated with. Without eyelids you would probably have to flush your eyes out with drops periodically due to being unable to blink, without a foreskin you're much more likely to need external lubricant.

Even in terms of your wife's best interests, you did the right thing. If you hadn't gone to the police her violent behaviour would almost certainly have escalated. At some point in the future she'd end up arrested and charged for even worse violence than she just used on you. Someone could be badly hurt and she'd do more time in jail. You mean, she'll get more community service and a longer suspended sentence. /s

"Lawful" actually probably isn't the best word to use.

Uhh... I strongly oppose infant circumcision. But the topic we're discussing right now is the gap in mortality rates. Boys have a total infant mortality rate 19% higher than girls. Circumcision causing a 1% increase in just neonatal deaths (and the vast majority of complications would presumably kill before 28 days) is a tiny portion of that imbalance, and does not explain the difference.

Because Feminists frequently use the popularity, or even existence of said porn to claim that men and male sexuality in particular are evil, predatory, objectifying, etc. They also make similar claims about BDSM, calling it "normalized abuse."

No, the death penalty doesn't really do much, and can't be reversed. However, at a minimum, sentences for false accusations should be equal to the sentence (counting both jail and prison) the victim serves as a result of the accusation. Aside from being a bare minimum of fairness, this policy would also incentivize false accusers to confess sooner rather than later: the longer they let an innocent man sit in jail to cover their own asses, the longer they go to jail if/when they're caught.

I've certainly come across many cases of males being the victims of __. The difference in those cases than in the cases of female victims is that in the former the sentiment of "he deserved it because of ____!" is much more common in public responses. Slight edit. Now you can fill in the blank for pretty much ANY situation and it will be accurate.

One thing that's consistent with anyone who says "they're completely different" is that it's always a baseless claim with no explanation. ... LMAO at this equalist logic that totally ignores psychosexual differences between males and females. What I am saying is that male and female sexuality are very different, so the converse situation is NOT identical. Rather than spell it out for you, spend some time over at r/TheRedPill.

Yes, because anyone can exploit another person. She's the victim, not them. Why not? She sent a 17-year-old sexually explicit messages and nude photos, which is practically sexual harassment, then lured him into a bathroom and has sex with him, right? All you need to do is turn the language around. The older, and clearly more responsible, party.

Hate crimes are supposed to punish committing crimes against someone because of certain traits of the victim, such as race, religion, gender, sexual/gender orientation, or disability. The rationale is that crimes with these motivations create a climate of fear for the entire group, not just harm the direct victim, so they should be punished extra severely - similar to how terrorism is generally considered more severe than violence without a political motivation.

Answering more seriously: by that definition, most FGM wouldn't be mutilation either. It's just a little nub of flesh after all. Sewing a girl's labia shut is just a few stitches. The popular definition of mutilation, and the one Wikipedia uses, is: Mutilation or maiming is an act of physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body. And circumcision does degrade function: it reduces sensitivity and impairs the natural sliding of the penile glans, requiring lubrication.…

Then again I've also followed AVFM and its founders, and while their audience seems to mostly be right-wing like this sub, their heads and leaders (paul elam, karen straughan, etc) seem very liberal, often to the fury of their followers. Just look at the downvotes he gets from his own followers: Wait... what? I don't read …

Nah, I think Menslib is Stage 8. Here's the sidebar: To provide a space for men wanting to push back against a regressive anti-feminist movement that attempts to lock men and women into toxic gender roles, promote unhealthy behavior, and paint natural allies as enemies. They're careful to avoid naming names, but it's pretty obvious that the movement they're telling lies about is the MRM.

Yes. All the fucking time. I have on many occasions gotten in a debate with Feminists on this issue and they have outright said something like: "If you're a man and you don't want kids you should keep it in your pants."

No. Docking dogs' ears or tails for cosmetic reasons is illegal in many jurisdictions, as is declawing cats. Chopping up baby boys' genitals, though? Totally legal.

All your examples are more than three decades old. What do you think the reaction would be if something like that came out now? For that matter, all of those have much lower ratings than OP's show.

Oh look, here's the entire Proselytizing Feminist bingo card in one post. The perpetuators of most violence and crimes against men are other men. Yes women are involved to but there's much more focus on this minority than the main problems men face in society. The reason so many men are depressed and commit suicide is because of social pressures brought about to "be a man" and to "harden up". These are primarily forced upon us by other men. Yet almost all the top posts on this subreddit are focu…

5 Reasons Why Women Should Receive Special Treatment Mistixs? Is that you? All things being equal, men still have it better. Way better. So, I believe women should have the same rights as men in the workplace, in academic settings, and in the general sense. But I think we deserve a little bit more empathy, compassion, and – yup – chivalry from the men in our lives. AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA.

"Some infant circumcisions are understood to occur in shitty third-world countries, however we didn't include them." Fuck that. You made this graph actively harmful by making it look like MGM is nearly nonexistent. Why don't you go and make a graph of FGM rates that completely ignores third-world countries?

redditor for 6 days Previous pearls of wisdom from this user include: All males have rape instinct, its a part of nature. Video games allows males to play out their male power fantasy. Gamer seems to be more hostile to womin, because they only interact with npc womin. I think the more males play those violent video games the chance that they will rape increase. Even more if they do not have access to the game when their male power instinct kick inn. Its not hate, men are stronger, more aggressiv…

Finn being listed as working in maintenance? All Stormtroopers were assigned menial jobs to give them humility. Actually, I kind of liked Finn being in maintenance. In movies involving military anything, we rarely see anything that isn't combat, intelligence, or command, but really the vast majority of a real military force is in logistics. It kind of made him a more interesting and believable character than just "bad guy who realizes what he's doing is wrong and does a heel-face turn." Rey can …

So, if doctors routinely amputated boys' pinkie fingers at birth, you'd be okay with it as long as it was done precisely and anesthesia was applied? Also, source on anesthesia being used for circumcisions on infants? Everything I've seen said it was generally not used because "babies won't remember the pain."

Even Men’s Rights Activists Are Wary of Trump Gee, no shit. To outsiders, Donald Trump’s election win would seem a godsend to the men’s right movement, the loosely knit, mostly online grassroots organization dedicated to ending what they perceive as institutionalized anti-male bigotry. The president-elect is a notorious anti-feminist, after all. He accused Hillary Clinton of playing “the woman card” to get elected, he’s said women should be punished for getting abortions and he once said he refu…

Okay, serious question for you, OP: How the hell do you think you can talk about victim-blaming male victims of revenge porn, while you refer to men you don't like as "cucks," a word which emasculates and victim blames male victims of infidelity? Speaking of hypocrisy...

Also, they fail to look for a correlation between n-count and other social factors, which may be more directly related to divorce. Such as ethnicity/culture. That's my thought as well. At this point, as the article points out, only 5% of women get married as virgins. Given current societal attitudes about sex, it seems very likely that these people are part of a religious group with strict rules about premarital sex, and those same groups also tend to strongly frown on divorce. Case closed.

Except that... New research suggests that women who had exactly two sexual partners (their husbands and one other person) were more likely to divorce than those who had either just one partner or many more. This was true, at least, during the 1980s and 1990s. So it's that one pre-marriage partner is okay, three is okay, but for some reason two increases the risk of divorce.

Jesus Christ... no, not the action. The action is stupid, and I doubt any of the idiots mailing biohazards have any idea of how dangerous what they're doing is. But the bullshit the Texas Government is pulling definitely deserves protest, and the mailing tampons because "what if it's a miscarriage" would be a beautiful example of malicious compliance if it weren't for the fact that it puts innocent people in danger. But what I'm appalled by is whatever the hell kind of website you just linked me…

Yep. The people doing this are absolutely right to protest, and I can support civil disobedience against an unjust law. Hell, I'd be fine with tampon-mail as an act of protest, IF it followed the legal guidelines the OP mentioned. But, as it stands, at the very least the idiots calling for others to do this need to be arrested. These envelopes aren't going to get anywhere near the Governor, because governments are well aware of how easy it would be to assassinate someone by putting something dea…

By the way, this is a perfect example of why, without question, if multiple people are attacking your car, it should be legal to run them over if necessary to escape. Also, this is a perfect example of why excusing women's violence with "but they're weaker than men" is bullshit. I keep hearing about "Oh, well it's okay for a woman to hit a man because she's only causing a little pan, while he can easily kill her." No. There are so many factors - weapons, numbers, skill, or one party being unable…

We eventually talked about the situation and how she had been abused in the past. Not having delt with a situation like this before I asked for a kiss after our conversation to show I didn't want to "take" anything from her, girlfriend or not. She refused and felt that I had just sexualized her after she had just shared her story of abuse. So: first of all, given her history of abuse it was reasonable for her to be a bit freaked out when you touched her, but it was obviously an honest mistake on…

Hmm... I'm not sure this is a great idea: bodily autonomy still applies to criminals who violate the bodily autonomy of someone else. Forcibly performing surgery on someone is cruel and unusual punishment. In addition, a forced abortion, much like the death penalty, is irreversible. What if exonerating evidence comes out later that the man wasn't even the fetus's father, and their sexual encounter was consensual? That potential baby is lost forever.

Since there was just a thread about this on FRD, I'll X-post my comment: I have several objections to Menslib. First, while I agree with Menslib on some issues, I do not believe that a movement based on Feminist Theory is capable of making meaningful progress on men's issues, because ideas like Patriarchy and Toxic Masculinity are fundamentally flawed. And a non-feminist men's movement is absolutely necessary, because, while NAFALT, a lot of the most vocal opposition to equality for men does com…

And? What if Walmart was advertising children by selling "No Girls Allowed" signs for treehouses? If anything, the fact that they're selling sexism to children makes it worse. Apparently little girls aren't growing out of the "boys stink" phase, judging by how many college students are pushing for gender segregation. Maybe part of the problem is that society and the media reinforce those beliefs and tell them they're okay.
