2	10 Red Flags I Wish I’d Seen Sooner: A Warning for Anyone Who Thinks It Can’t Happen to Them Short and "witty" reply: "Are you my dad? Hi dad!!!" or "OMFG I see you have met my mom!!" More in depth reply: As the daughter of a mother who treated my father (and, once he was out of the picture and I was starting to grow up) this way, I absolutely support your post. It's not "women" who are the problem. It's NARCISSISTS and manipulators. So as a woman, I PLEAD with all of you men to not lose yourselves in judging "women".

2	Blatant misandry (but it’s okay she’s just quirky) My dear, in yoga class you should not be staring at what other people can or cannot do. You are there to focus on your own mind, body, form, breath... not on whether other people can do sit-ups properly.	/r/MensRights	02/01/24 03:33 PM
1	Another horrific example of the disposability of men. When they're battling against a slow and painful death they're often thrown away to die alone as they're no longer able to provide We're generation X, the generation that usually has grown up children and sometimes already little grandchildren by now (but we're childfree). We are also European, which might or might not play a part. In my follow-up post I wrote a few things about my parents and my husband's. My parents-in-law are in their 80's and a very good couple. My own parents had a very messy divorce when I was still very little. Divorces did indeed happen a lot less in that time (the seventies). I remember being the o…	/r/MensRights	24/06/23 11:55 AM

When they're battling against a slow and painful death they're often thrown away to die alone as they're no longer able to provide Thank you and maybe I should also add that a big part in how my husband and I view our marriage comes from the way HIS parents (who celebrated their 50y jubilee a few years ago) treated each other, their marriage and their children. So much love and respect there.

When they're battling against a slow and painful death they're often thrown away to die alone as they're no longer able to provide I've seen this article being posted all over the place these days, and I just can't imagine... Maybe my husband and I just had the good fortune of finding each other, but in my view on life, husband and wife (or husband and husband, wife and wife, etc... let's say "life partners") become each other's closest family when they marry (or even when they live together for a long time without officially getting married)...

2	For once and for all: why I post here as a woman. My father. And maybe, some hope for some of you, fathers who are struggling with custody. Because I want to sympathize with men about the fact that in certain households, MOTHERS can be the abusive ones instead of fathers, and about the fact that custody is often not shared in a fair way towards fathers. But more simply put? Because I really love my father and hate what he has been put through. :)	/r/MensRights	31/08/22 09:22 PM
1	For once and for all: why I post here as a woman. My father. And maybe, some hope for some of you, fathers who are struggling with custody. I know! I am always baffled by women (or even men!) who assume that in a divorce or in a custody struggle, the woman is always right! Like, how? Do certain people just not understand that no matter anyone's gender, they can be wonderful or vicious? They can be sane or insane? They can be trying to make the best of a bad situation, or reacting in a bitter way, making these things worse for everyone involved. What about children born to lesbians, then, who suddenly no longer get along? Two women, …	/r/MensRights	31/08/22 09:18 PM

And it would DEFINITELY be better for them not to have children! Because, well since you say it was like hearing the story of your mother, you know why! It's exhausting for those children, to try and keep pleasing a mother like that, to try and help her but she just pushes you away... Anyway, good luck and good courage to you, if you, too, had to grow up with a mom like that. But the thing is, I don't think my mom really WANTED to marry my dad, or have me.

1	For once and for all: why I post here as a woman. My father. And maybe, some hope for some of you, fathers who are struggling with custody. Well, thank you! The core of the matter was: I never got a really clear and straight answer from my mother accept for her to forbid me to speak or ask about it. Are you familiar with the Harry Potter books? Well, me asking about my father or even mentioning him, was like Harry Potter asking the Dursleys about his parents. Strictly taboo. Now, when I was about... 10 years old or so? Or 12?

1	For once and for all: why I post here as a woman. My father. And maybe, some hope for some of you, fathers who are struggling with custody. Thank you. And yes, that is exactly what happened: my mother's narrative was: "he did not want to pay alimony so we agreed that he was not responsible for that and in return would never come to bother us anymore." (So "you were abandoned" and "you do not have a father"). As the real story came out later, he DID want to pay and he DID want to see me, but my mother completely refused any kind of support or contact.	/r/MensRights	29/08/22 09:40 PM

I personally think my mother breaking contact with me, many years ago, was a blessing in disguise (though it does still hurt). The silly thing was that in the beginning of the no-contact time, my husband was against it (with the arguments like "it's still your mother" and his background of growing up in a "normal" family) and thought I should do whatever I could to fix the problem. But after a few years, he started noticing how I regained more and more of my mental health and stability, …	/r/MensRights	29/08/22 09:30 PM

And as for my mother cutting my father out of my life- well, it is what it is, I have always and will always carry the trauma of that, but I also have to accept that the past is the past and cannot be changed. I have to accept the past and live in the "now": the present, where my mother can no longer hurt or manipulate me, and where my father has become a good buddy whom I share several passions (such as gardening) with!

The better question would be, why did two so different and incompatible people marry in the first place? The answer to that is simple: accidental teen pregnancy. Well, teen... yeah they weren't really young teens but still, only 17 when I was conceived and 18 when I was born, and man, back in the seventies in a little catholic village that was quite scandalous, to be pregnant when unmarried, and pregnancy automatically meant you got married (if you know Bruce Springsteen's song "The River" - tha…	/r/MensRights	29/08/22 08:45 PM

She never got any diagnose because she didn't "believe" in psychiatry, but I am pretty positive that she was suffering from anxiety and "borderline" (whenever my child goes out of the door, the worst things could happen - and if my child starts to love someone, they will love me LESS- and in the end I will be lost and alone....)

I am very well aware that I am a very, VERY privileged European white lady. I am here to learn. And I'm learning more and more each day. Please have patience with me.	/r/MensRights	02/08/14 05:55 AM

17	"Females can never provoke their own beatings" \| Teacher stands by as female student threatens, attacks & per-sues placid male student European here. First off, shit likes this is the reason I stopped teaching. Maybe there exist teachers who have the right personality to keep people like these in check, but I sure haven't, and I no longer wished to deal with this. I just decided it was not for me. Secondly, I don't know what the gender discrimination (i.e. letting women get away with a lot more than men) statistics are here. I can only speak from personal anecdote,more specifically how my father got screwed over by my mother in…	/r/MensRights	01/08/14 09:38 PM
5	"Females can never provoke their own beatings" \| Teacher stands by as female student threatens, attacks & per-sues placid male student I went to watch again, yeah, you are right. Those other students, laughing and howling, got on my nerves as well. I wonder how they would have reacted if the gender roles had been reversed.	/r/MensRights	01/08/14 09:28 PM
1	Am I being ridiculous? Yeah, say something like what mensrights0909 said, then see what she says, get your money back or not, cut off contact, and if you didn't get your money back chalk it up to a learning experience to be more careful with lending stuff and money to people. You did it to be kind, some people will take advantage of that - it happens. It sucks but it happens. I agree that it isn't really a mensrights issue because I see it happen to both men and women all the time, kind people lend something and then …	/r/MensRights	01/08/14 07:49 PM
19	"Females can never provoke their own beatings" \| Teacher stands by as female student threatens, attacks & per-sues placid male student That was real?? When I watched it, I got the impression that they were roleplaying, that it was maybe a class on how to stay calm when someone provokes you. I thought that was why nobody else got involved, and just observed. But if that was real, my word, that young lady has issues. :s	/r/MensRights	01/08/14 07:33 PM
1	Rape on college and university campuses is redefined by California's Senate Bill 967 - illogical, unenforceable, and sexist Have the people who wrote this bill watched too much porn where the woman screams "yes, yes, oh yes, yes!!!" all the way through? Cause that's the sort of scene their "ongoing affirmative consent" made me think of. Rape is indeed wrong, VERY wrong. But that is exactly the reason why this nonsense irks me so. They are indeed watering down the whole concept to the point where nobody will take it seriously anymore, and that does absolutely NO favours to real victims of rape. I dread the consequence…	/r/MensRights	01/08/14 07:25 PM
3	Meet The Ladies Men’s Rights Auxiliary! -Wonkette- ["I don’t like to crowd my lady brain space with man things because I’m a lady, goddamnit, I’d much rather let men keep track of that stuff so I can focus on SHOOOOES.] It's fascinating how blatantly sexist and belittling that kind of feminists behave towards anyone who dares to disagree with them. If someone dares to criticize, they accuse them of being idiots who know nothing about history and care only about shoes. That really doesn't make them look very mature. Do they really think that women who stand up to the current hateful turn feminism has taken, are too stupid or uneducated to know what feminism in the past has done for them? Since when are past achi…	/r/MensRights	01/08/14 12:04 AM
1	Woman leaves 6 year old in 140 degree car for 1-2 hours and only charged with "risk of injury to minor". It's like the police don't even try to give equal punishment to the genders. Ah, but you see, this is all the fault of the Evil Patriarchism! It happened when she went to the nail salon, you see. If women weren't so oppressed that they felt they had to get their nails done because otherwise men wouldn't find them attractive, then she wouldn't have forgotten her baby in the car. That's why we need feminism! holds up big sarcasm sign, just in case someone missed it	/r/MensRights	31/07/14 08:13 PM
24	Fox Host's Message To Male Victims Of Domestic Violence: "That Is Embarrassing, Getting Beaten Up By Your Girlfriend" What a cackling chicken coop, that whole conversation. They all talk over each other and spout superficialties. I imagine him saying now in that same kind of voice: "Not many girls want to go to the police after being raped while drunk, because that IS embarrassing, getting yourself drunk and then end up raped". The whole internet would be over him.	/r/MensRights	31/07/14 08:07 PM
1	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. You know, this is the first time I was able to tell this story without getting replies like "You should try to reconciliate with her, omg she is your mom!!" Thanks for that.	/r/MensRights	30/07/14 08:11 PM
1	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. Certainly not me. But some people...	/r/MensRights	30/07/14 05:40 AM
3	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. Very true. The thing is, I was only 1.5 years old when they divorced, so I hadn't really been able to build a real relationship with my dad yet. All I knew was what they told me: my mother and her mother.	/r/MensRights	30/07/14 04:33 AM
2	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. Well one possible view would be that all problems started because my mother, back in her day, wasn't able to terminate her unwanted pregnancy. I'm strongly pro-choice myself so I could sort of agree with that. Another feminist view might be that my mother should have been stronger and not "submitted" to my dad in the first place, when he "coerced" her to have sex before marriage against her principles. That is my mother's own view. She has blamed herself all my life for "letting me happen to her…	/r/MensRights	30/07/14 04:24 AM
1	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. Yeah of course. It's just an example of the fact that the person who is hurting others is not always the male one.	/r/MensRights	30/07/14 04:19 AM
3	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. Sending lots of supportive thoughts towards you! Getting your own place really IS the crucial step. I did, and it all improved from there!	/r/MensRights	30/07/14 02:04 AM
2	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. She's not. She insists she is sane and the rest of the world is crazy. Don't ask. I have tried so often to help her, believe me. i can't. :(	/r/MensRights	30/07/14 12:15 AM
2	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. I hear he just kept looking, and passed the story and "mystery" on to my half-siblings, who had quite a fairytale-like image of me in their head in the end, and they all kept looking! All this while my mother said he didn't give a flying fuck about me.	/r/MensRights	30/07/14 12:00 AM
1	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. Wait what. Are you referring to me, or to my mother? I hope the latter!	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 11:39 PM
1	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. Thank you.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 06:43 PM
2	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. I know. I have tried, so hard, to get my mother to look into stuff like this, to see professionals about it, and everything. But seriously. At a certain point, I just have to take care of /my/ life, my marriage, my future. I just cannot handle it anymore and I just no longer wish to see it as my own responsibility. Sorry.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 06:36 PM

2	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. It was only when we had some sort of check-up in highschool, that the nurses realised I was being emotionally abused and needed to get away from my mother.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 06:13 PM
1	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. We are doing what we can. It will never be the same, though... but at least I got out of the claws of my narcissist, toxic mom. :)	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 06:12 PM
1	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. I know it's common, that doesn't make it less painful though. But thanks, I'm okay now. I just feel bad for my mom for being so bitter and paranoid and all in all in messed up person. :(	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 06:06 PM
2	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. Ohohohoho, don't worry, I am familiar... Thanks though. I had to do a lot of research and therapy to come out as a more or less normal person at 40 years old :) Yep, narcissist she seemed to be, definitely.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 05:49 PM

3	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. Only because I kept an open mind about my dad, and, because at a certain point, I had just had ENOUGH of my mom's manipulation. People say I had to be strong to cut her off, but it was really merely something I did in desperation. I just couldn't live under her tyranny anymore.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 04:01 PM

10	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. You're welcome. It pains me to bring it all up again, but I know what my father has been through, all these years, and it's worth it for me to bring attention to it.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 03:26 PM
15	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. You are very, very welcome. It hurt me very much when my mother put the choice to me: "Deny your father or I will never speak to you again". However. I felt, at that point, that all those years of manipulation had been enough, and that I should have the right to make my own choices. Had she accepted me the way I was, I would never have denied her. But for her, it was all or nothing.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 03:24 PM

4	Why my father hit my mother - and lost custody over me. At first I was a bit confused but I read it and completely understand now. Believe me, I am totally honest and this is the story of my youth. I wanted to share it simply because I find it horrifying how my father, and so many other fathers, are banned from seeing their children.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 02:46 PM
6	You think Bill Burr nailed it? Watch this! The man is consistent AND funny. I laughed hard several times. I also got a wee bit annoyed at how he laughed at his own jokes, but they were funny, so it was okay. But most of all, I think he spoke a lot of truth.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 02:12 PM
1	Want an example for "equality"? You are welcome Wow. I'm a woman and I hope you don't mind me posting here, but I find this ridiculous. If people want real equality, then nobody should slap anyone - or anyone should be allowed to slap anyone equally (though personally, I prefer no slapping at all) and I would have zero compassion for a girl who got slapped back after she slapped a man.	/r/MensRights	29/07/14 01:59 PM
