Why are you coming to men's rights for help as a female abuser? Seek intense (at least weekly) therapy immediately to help with your underlying issues as well as your abusive behavior. If you google "resources for abusers" you will find more help there.

I think that gay men represent, what, like 10-20% of all men, both within prisons and outside of prisons. Why do you think prison rape and male-on-male rape is done exclusively by gay men?

You're leaving out the part that "this nation" was already "founded" far before Europeans got here. So far as the 7 Years War, the British monarchy was being protected, not "our asses."

I want to preface this with what this guy did is an inexcusable crime he should be prosecuted in accordance with the countries law, however...I actually think it's okay when men murder their wives because women are golddigging bitches and women should know how tough men have it, whereas women themselves have a free ride for everything just by getting married, getting pregnant, or being hot.

While I obviously do not agree with the blogger that all men are potential rapists, isn't that a fairly common and innocuous (to them) feminist belief? If so, then why is a young man (who posted to MR first and solely until I called him on it) identify as feminist, then write a feminist blogger to dispute her claims to this?

I guess I'd say it was my choice. Though we exchanged pleasantries when I first arrived in the morning, my ex-MIL didn't exactly invite me to stick around, and I didn't feel right inviting myself. She has met her grandmother before, of course, but of course didn't really remember since she isn't even 4 yet and visits have never been regular past infancy. They are virtual strangers to her, but not to me, so I wasn't worried about her safety with them, more just her happiness.

Rape is always illegal. In the case of acquaintance rape where the victim is intoxicated (to the point of blacking out, as you state above), it is most certainly illegal, though not always prosecutable/proveable. Just because a crime cannot be proven in court does not mean it didn't happen. Nicole Brown Simpson did not resurrect from the dead the moment her ex-husband was acquitted.

that makes someone eligible for rape conviction simply based on someone's word Witness testimony is used to prosecute or defend someone from allegations daily.

No. Why should I? Like I said, does ever fist-fight get reported? Every slip-and-fall? Does every speeder get pulled over, or turn themselves in? Hell, a lot of times, someone is raped or sexually abused, they know they are raped or sexually abused, and they don't report it. Totally up to the victim.

For fucks sake, can you be any more hyperbolic? To be charged with rape, someone must report a rape. Your partner okay with what happened, even though it's technically rape? Who. Fucking. Cares.

It's the very definition of rape, guy. That's how I label it. That's how the law in most states label it. If you, as a rapist or rape victim, do not feel negatively about it, that's your perogative. No one can make you press charges against your spouse for fucking you while you were blackout drunk.

You didn't say a word about a woman allegedly changing her mind. You suggested that being an intoxicated rape victim or alleged rape victim is the same thing as being an intoxicated criminal or alleged criminal. Engaging in intercourse with an intoxicated person is in most states rape, so I'm really not undertanding your question. What about being charged for rape for having sex with an intoxicated woman? Don't rape intoxicated women.

Could you elaborate a little more on the situation? Are either of you in school? Ages? How did you get from MS to PA and why? You should not up and leave your fiance and take your baby with you - IMO this would be kidnapping just like if she did the same thing to you. You should, however, start getting things in order for you to leave and have or share custody of your baby. If you love your fiancee and want to work things out and go on to get married and live happily ever after, you need to have…

But surely the police officer being the good guy also means that "good guys" = men. Can we play "spot the logical fallacy"? children learn very early that there are bad women, how many nurseries rhymes have an evil witch, a jealous queen, a wicked step-mother? This is a nice attempt to derail, but that's not really the point now, is it? Or maybe it is - childrne are taught that bad "guys" (i.e., criminals) are negative and to be feared as a faceless whole, but that evil women act in sinister sol…

OFFS. There is no hypocrisy, and I am speaking, specifically, of the terminology of "good guys" and "bad guys." As in good guys versus bad guys. And in the context in which I'm speaking (say - Batman comics, cops, westerns, etc) yeah, good guys are men and bad guys are men. Where you got that I said it's "perfectly okay" I don't know, but I never said or insinuated that.

What is "False Rape"? Marital rape absolutely has something to do with the story. For years it was given that if you were married to someone, they had the right to force you into sex.

So would he do that (taking work at a flat rate) with an atty. or a bank or??? Supposedly his ex is supposed to pay off the full amount of the house, 2nd mortgage, etc., with the $ she will get from his retirement, but we all doubt she'll do that.

According to another aunt (his sister), because the judge "is a lesbian bitch that just sided with the woman from the start." I would presume it's a bit more complicated than that. As spiteful and awful as his ex had been throughout, I am really surprised it didn't turn out much worse. According to my mom, if you've been married a certain amount of time, half the retirement is just automatic.

I'm saying as an adult you should be responsible for your actions! I agree! If you rape a drunk woman, you should be held liable!

It seems like it should be a private decision amongst both parents, not just the father. Why does the father want it to be circumcisaed if he acknowledges it is wrong.

Well, if you "have" a "boy" you can't abort them. If you are pregnant with a male fetus, you can. I think to criminalize t his would be unwarranted government intervention and a slippery slope to far more sinister things.

Abortion is not infanticide. A fetus != an infant.

I think you're making up strawomen, but I think women should be able to abort for whatever reason they choose, none of my business.

The article you link says nothing about the passenger hitting the driver. In a written statement, Hughes recalled that Lane "grabbed me in the throat and spit on me in the face." In response, the driver said he stopped the bus, "and I protected myself." The Hughes statement does not reveal that he hit Lane squarely in the jaw with a bolo punch that knocked her to the ground.

I don't know why you would care about this so much. There are people who identify as straight men that perhaps were not born straight men, or are not legally men. No biggie. I lift weights, love beer, and love all people, man, woman, gay, straight, other, whatever. None of that "makes" someone a "straight male."

I do not think it's right to spit in anone's face but I also don't think decking someone is the appropriate response.

Project PANDA??? What a wormhole this place is! I just read the Gawker article about all of this...I guess for what it was, it was actually fairly even-handed. The user seemed pretty nice and to have a sense of humor, it really didn't make him look bad at all, IMO. But still not right to put his name out there in the first place.

Is there proof to that? I read Gawker sites semi-frequently, not Jezebel so much though. I have read up on this situation over the last few days, I thought the main person involved said that no one was after him or anything but I could've misunderstood. LOL, so much dramz on the webs.

Yes, although I support single-payer healthcare as it is, without criminalizing abortion. Obviously I do not support the criminalization of abortion. However, I can see the perspective of how you posed the question - if abortion is criminalized and pregnancy/childbirth are meant to be punative, it should be punative toward both mother and father.

I am opposed to voting (usually) though I am neither an activist nor a feminist. For me personally, I am not happy twith the 2-party system in the US and so I abstain or vote 3rd party. I think not voting is a valid political statement jsut as much as voting is.

Is Vilentacrez a "user" or a "subreddit"? I saw something with a big blue bird on the side so I guess that means he is undeleted??? Did He get delteed for "doxx" people or did people "doxx" him? LOL, maybe I should stick to the music sections.

I don't think "equal" really means "the same." People are born lesbians, not made, so your statement about that doesn't really make any sense. There are many women who are your "equal" but who hate pantyhose, don't have dimples, are flat-chested, etc. I am smarter than some women, smarter than some men, not as smart as others. It is quite easy to at once value our differences but also appreciate that we are equals.

All we're saying is that just because you have custody doesn't mean you should use it as license to dictate how he needs to live his life. I have no desire to do that. I am not, however, going to drop everything I'm doing to take our daughter, who he otherwise makes very little effort to have anything to do with, to his various girlfriend/fuck buddies' jank-ass apartments in the projects or wherever. Nope.
/r/MensRights11/10/12 02:31 PM

Please re-read my introduction - I am not keeping him from seeing our daughter. I have no doubt he loves her, but to a child (and to me as a parent), his actions are not yet a testimony to that. He does not pick her up when he is supposed to (per custody arrangement), also does not give notice, disappoints her (and me) continually, and then he and his family expect me to drop everything to accommodate him every time he gets a hair up his ass on a Tuesday evening and wants her.

It sounds simple, but I don't think it is in actuality. I have read everyone's responses today and have been trying to psych myself up to reach out to my ex-MIL, I just haven't done it yet. Hopefully the scenario you lay out can be a reality in the near future. As I said, however, I am also worried about her not having any males in her life, although this will change next year when she goes to Head Start.

I think forcing men to pay for half of pregnancy/childbirth related costs (not talking about child support) is just as wrong as forcing a woman to be pregnant and give birth. If they want to criminalize abortion, let them also spend tax dollars for all unwanted pregnancies and births, plus pay women a stipend at or above minimum wage for the whole time they are pregnant. (I think this would be near $50,000.)

I don't badmouth him, I just don't know how to deal with budding questions from our daughter about it. She knows kids at daycare have dads and moms, but she doesn't.

Luckily we only have one child together, and I don't see why it would be in our daughters best interest to stay together if we do not love one another. That would have just built resentment.

Thank you. I am not opposed to this outcome totally, but it does make me a little nervous, I guess. I really don't want them badmouthing me in front of her (and I extend the same courtesy to my ex), and I'm worried they would. I also don't want it to hurt her that she will be around his family but not him, most likely.

My ex's father is deceased, unfortunately, as he was a wonderful man. I wish I could say the same of my own father. I have been reluctant to build a relationship with his family (mother, siblings) because I feel like they were less than supportive when everything went down, and I've been scared to reach out. But you are right, someone is going to have to extend the olive branch, may as well be men. Any ideas on how to do this, though? I feel weird about just calling up and acting like it's all n…
