7	A boy forced to have sex with a teacher is "objectively lucky", not a victim of rape? Lemme give it a try: unsollicited recognizement is rape?	/r/MensRights	23/08/13 09:25 PM
3	Women can Kill babies but not men - Tampa doctor's son accused of killing unborn child. Well, not just deception, it was an attack against her body (disregarding the fetus here). If we consider the fetus not to have an existence in its own right, then it is in the very least part of the pregnant woman's body. Killing / destroying it would be similar to a mutilation (even if the means to achieve the results was 'merely' chemical). I agree that if we did consider fetuses to be alive / human, then it would be a murder (as would abortion).	/r/MensRights	16/05/13 10:34 PM
1	My students' union leaders want to skew elections in favour of female candidates. I wrote this in response. Advice needed to keep elections fair. I think we agree discrimination is always both positive and negative (depending on whose point of view you take). From there, what information does qualifying some discrimination as "positive" convey? Using "affirmative" only falsely infers that not all discrimination is negative, which I think was Bobsutan's point in the first place.	/r/MensRights	25/04/13 09:53 PM
2	My students' union leaders want to skew elections in favour of female candidates. I wrote this in response. Advice needed to keep elections fair. In this case, it is non-disabled people who are being discriminated against. (Unless disabled people are forced to take that line, in which case they are being discriminated against too.)	/r/MensRights	25/04/13 09:17 PM
1	Woman kills man with BOILING WATER and a baseball bat (he died 2 weeks later) for infidelity Sudden heat can make water boil pretty fast, or so I heard	/r/MensRights	04/04/13 09:17 PM
1	Study: Men look at women's faces, women look at women's bodies. Falsifiable evidence is always a good thing to have :p	/r/MensRights	24/03/13 10:12 PM
2	My 'Ethics in Counseling' class has an online teaching segment. I think they're doing it right... I don't mean to sound negative, but I'd say such statistics are more harmful than not. I mean, it is nearly equivalent to saying "Whilst the overwhelming majority of violence is done against women, we could find one documented case of a victim male in 1985.". It can only confirm the wrong stereotype men cannot be victims of DV. 5%? Negligible...	/r/MensRights	25/02/13 02:07 PM
1	Aren’t you sure? Simple solution to legal paternity The one problem with it is that answer B is a straight out admission that the woman / wife has reasons to believe <the dude> might not be the father. In a married couple, it would be equivalent to saying "hey! btw, I slept around :D". The second answer should be a lot less telling, and instead be "<the dude>'s paternity should be scientifically tested" (for which there may be perfectly legitimate reasons even when being faithful). If it were not for the frightening drawbacks of doing so, it woul…	/r/MensRights	13/02/13 11:43 PM
2	Identical twin brothers both charged for rape even though one of them is likely innocent -- read the comments under the story about what should happen to BOTH of them Somehow relevant: "If it wasn't you, then it was your brother."

2	And this is why we can't have nice talks what if there are invisible dragons in my attic? :( I wish	/r/MensRights	22/01/13 11:25 PM
1	It's taboo to admit it, but I wish my unborn baby wasn't a beastly boy! who exactly doesn't want him (if I may)	/r/MensRights	14/12/12 10:43 PM
4	My dad once had to go on jury duty about a rape case, this was his experience. Allow me to disagree: not guilty means exactly what it means, ie innocent. Charges being dropped due to lack of evidence (eg. DSK case) is not the same thing as a jury declaring someone "not guilty". A court will not rule "probably innocent", or "probably guilty but not so very sure". And that's a good thing, too. (Of course, we are talking from a legal / procedurial point of view. Courts can be wrong. However, challenging a court's verdict "mm they let him off but he was probably guilty!" can (…	/r/MensRights	04/12/12 11:03 PM
3	It's not all bad. Woman get 20months for 2 false claims. Just an example of one of the places in which the alleged rape did not happen. Helps locating the non-existing violence. Oh, wait...	/r/MensRights	04/12/12 01:34 PM
1	If you're a woman and you do this, fuck you. 2 or 3 weeks seem like an aweful lot of time to me, but I agree with your points nonetheless.	/r/MensRights	04/12/12 12:16 PM
4	Why does society think women have the right to slap a man if he insults her integrity? Well, try to see it another way. In most modern societies, you are not supposed to take the law in your own hands (and "punish" your offender yourself). Instead, you should contact the police and have the whole justice system handle it for you. In the case of legitimate defense, you would be excused for not having followed the normal procedure "POLICE! HELP! SOMEONE IS KILLING ME LIKE... RIGHT NOW... ARGGGG" when doing so would definitely not work (eg. help would come too late if you tried) and …	/r/MensRights	29/11/12 08:21 AM
1	Why does society think women have the right to slap a man if he insults her integrity? Wrong in what sense?	/r/MensRights	27/11/12 10:03 PM
12	Why does society think women have the right to slap a man if he insults her integrity? Just speaking from France, but (here at least) self defense is not about "retaliating legally", but about not being responsible for actions taken for the strict defense of someone (be it you or someone else btw) when the reaction is proportionate to the threat (proportionality being appreciated by the judge if it gets to court). If the offense is done already (ie you were slapped and the aggressor does not seem to want to give it another go), there is no threat anymore. In a strict sense, you wo…	/r/MensRights	27/11/12 09:21 PM
