0	Think of starting a combo Women's Rights / Men's Rights blog After the 20's and first wave feminism, most (all?) of the laws that specifically prohibited women from doing things were removed (voting rights, etc). There are still a few hotly debated issues though, like women in combat roles and other edge cases like that that don't affect most women, but still are blatent discrimination based on sex. Having said that, in its current form, feminism seeks to get rid of social inequality, with of course a focus on women, but any good feminist will not block a…	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 02:45 PM
3	Changing horses mid-race: why do feminists oppose the elimination of lifetime alimony? So my opinion doesn't count? Go shove it. "1980 NOW announces opposition to the draft, but states that if there is a draft, NOW supports the inclusion of women on the same basis as men." This article, from last year, talks about alimony laws being overhauled in Massachusetts which removed lifetime alimony, and having the support of women's groups: "The bill has more than 30 co-sponsors, and the support of women's groups, the Massachusetts Bar Association, and thousands of men and women throughou…	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 02:05 PM
1	Changing horses mid-race: why do feminists oppose the elimination of lifetime alimony? Here is NOW's official standpoint on the draft, which concurs with my opinion too: "1980 NOW announces opposition to the draft, but states that if there is a draft, NOW supports the inclusion of women on the same basis as men." This seems to be one of the goto issues for MRAs to point out the inequalities that men face that disadvantage them, and I agree! The thing though is that MRAs aren't fighting for women's rights, so why do you expect feminists to fight for men's rights? They're both impor…	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 02:04 PM
1	Changing horses mid-race: why do feminists oppose the elimination of lifetime alimony? I do not support lifetime alimony. I do not support lack of the women's draft (given that no draft isn't an option). I do not support men being unfairly accused of rape when it didn't happen. I do not support anything that advantages women unfairly. I am a feminist.	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 03:41 AM
5	Changing horses mid-race: why do feminists oppose the elimination of lifetime alimony? I'm not arguing whether or not the pay gap exists, or is fair. I'm arguing that if you get paid more, you pay more in taxes, that's not unfair at all, yet the article implies that this victimizes men. No it doesn't? If it victimizes anybody, it victimizes rich people.	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 03:26 AM
-3	Changing horses mid-race: why do feminists oppose the elimination of lifetime alimony? I'm not even arguing that! I'm saying that if you get paid more, you pay more taxes! That's not unfair at all. I'm not arguing the wage gap, I understand that there are reasonable arguments on both sides. I'm saying that this line makes it sound as though you are victimizing men for having to pay more taxes, which just isn't the case.	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 02:46 AM
-2	Changing horses mid-race: why do feminists oppose the elimination of lifetime alimony? feminists always support anything which helps women, but disadvantages men ... always ... What. You realize this is an (inaccurate) generalization, right?	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 02:05 AM
0	This wasn't in the rulebook Well, fair enough. But single parent homes are NOT a good place for children. I lived in one. It's unfair for the child if they live in a single parent home, regardless of who's fault it is.	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 01:55 AM
-4	Changing horses mid-race: why do feminists oppose the elimination of lifetime alimony? Oh my god. I agreed with this article up to the point that I saw this: In regards to the graph showing earnings between men and women: This means that men are also paying the bulk of federal and state income taxes. WHAT. So wait, you mean that the graph that shows that women get paid less than men is a negative for men? WTF. If you're gonna get paid more for the same work, then sorry, it's only fair that you at minimum pay more taxes. Jesus.	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 01:53 AM
1	This wasn't in the rulebook But ... the child >.< I think that the man should be allowed full custody of the child, but one of them has to at least take responsibility, if she carries the child to term.	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 01:39 AM
