That may be true, but they all 100% support the laws that empower a woman like this one. They can give up the legal privileges any time they want, but they won't and they simply accept these situations as collateral damage.

Impossible to tell from the post. One thing you have to understand about women, and especially forums like 2X, is that they often don't communicate to exchange information as much as they do it to recruit in situations like this. There could be a whole shit ton of stuff that she's either completely leaving out or spinning to get the emotional response she wants from the other women. OTOH she could be being 100% accurate and objective, but really without his side, there's no way to know. And you'…

Classic female privilege. She knows she can put her hands on him without any fear of retaliation. Not only that, but if he reacts and so much as gives her a good shove, she can play victim. Don't kid yourself, the second scenario is actually what they're hoping for.

Right, but if it's an adult woman abusing and she becomes pregnant, now you have a child being born into the custody of a rapist and a minor boy saddled with a child support order. And if he's a minor I don't think he can even really fight for custody. Possibly someone in his family, but not him. So that's better how?

Important to note I think too is that this isn't just the trend for rapes, it's the trend for all violent crime generally. So during a time when we have the least amount of violent crime and the least amount of rape - possibly in our entire history as a civilization - we have near hysteria to disarm the people and push a rape culture narrative. What the fuck is the weird aspect of humans that causes us to act like this?

Just looked at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_club There are also several all female final clubs as well as some co-ed clubs. "Eight of the male clubs own real estate in Harvard Square.

Really interesting book: "The Mystery of Capital" by Peruvian economist Hernando DeSoto (not the Spanish explorer LOL). It explores why people in the developing world remain poor.

In some states the judge does it, in others it's a guideline. Here's the calculator for the temporary maintenance guideline from the state of NY. It's basically the same as the long term maintenance calculator in that the money is the same, but long term is set at 50-60% the length of the marriage. I think eventually all states will go to a guideline like this. So now a person gets paid for simply being a lower earner and by definition is not held to providing anything to the marriage.

It depends on the state. In some states it's up to the judge who may or may not be biased in making a judgement against a woman. In other states it's a simple guideline with very little leeway - it works like child support for grown adults.

There's a hidden reason they do this and it's related to how boys have to pay child support to adult women who statutorily rape them. If they hold that a minor boy is equally unable to consent as a minor girl is, they potentially void any child support orders against virtually all men who became fathers as minors and make it impossible to impose child support on them in the future. If you're too young to consent, you're too young to consent regardless of the age or sex of your partner. Once the …

Yeah this has always struck me as a blatantly bigoted speculation. The hypocrisy is clear: -They'll say that domestic violence is grossly under reported. -Next they'll agree that men are probably more likely to under report than women are. -Then they'll use the data of reported DV on men like it's etched in stone. And the sad part is that if you're wife is physically and emotionally attacking you, and you go to a marriage counselor, most of them will agree with all of the above.

Yes that's her right. Safe Haven laws were enacted in the hopes that women wouldn't murder unwanted babies outright or abandon them in places where they could be harmed.
/r/MensRights12/03/16 10:19 PM

Something like that. See the issue is that a mother has automatic custody of her child and can therefore take advantage of something like a Safe Haven law. Fathers on the other hand only have custody after some kind of institutional action - typically entering his name on a birth certifcate with the mother's permission or by court order after DNA testing and a fight. But that just settles paternity - not custody. If they're married he has equal custody. So long story short, a man can't use Safe …

I don't see what the big problem is really. Women's right to abortion is derived from her right to bodily autonomy - of course. But most women have abortions to control their lives, not to control their bodies. I've always found it starkly hypocritical to declare that reproductive rights are so basic to women's well-being, but the people who don't have reproductive rights? We'll just throw them in jail if they don't pay us enough money. And what about Safe Haven laws? Women already have the righ…

Bottom line is that there's a fair amount of wealth in the middle class they'd like to get their hands on. Usually this is tied up in the house and the 401K. If you can put the man's back up against the wall enough you can get him to start spending both of those and it can end up in a lawyer's pocket. Usually this disgusting asshole judge doesn't see it go this far because the man typically has to drop out of the fight and surrender so he can still possibly retire someday.

Maybe so, but every woman in the US has the right to abandon a baby without worry of legal consequences, correct? Do you think if the right to abortion was taken away from women, that there would be a fairly big rise in using Safe Haven laws. I think you could count on that 100%.

Correct. Mandatory minimums are mostly a means to get perps to plea to something lesser so they won't have to have a trial. Saves them lots of money that way.

He'll end up with alimony likely anyway and child support and on top of that will hardly see his kid and miss out on all the important firsts of a little one. If you think people should live with consequences, then why not live with the consequence of leaving the workforce. BTW regarding alimony they basically don't care if she stayed home or not - it's a guideline now like child support.

I understand what you're saying, but often these situations are more complicated than that. I've seen many times among people I know where husband and wife have an agreement that both will work, but when the baby comes mom changes her mind. What does the dad do in that case? Should he refuse, through all the tears and emotional blackmail? In the end he acquieses and makes a choice, but very often it's not exactly a free choice.

This will be an interesting experiment. My prediction: Raising their salaries by 50% will have little effect on how many men end up staying home. Women aren't pushed into that roll - they insist on it. If anything it will cause tension in many relationships when it becomes harder to womansplain their way out of staying at work.

As someone who worked in pharma getting new drugs approved I can understand this. Safety testing is just one aspect of drug testing. Things like dosing and efficacy will also be done at the same time, though they may not be the focus. That's the most basic difference between phase I, II and III testing. So you have the women on the active drug to look at dosing and efficacy. There's no reason not to recruit men for your study looking at toxicity.

So the gist of the article is that men basically don't think alimony is fair for men or women and so even when they're eligible they don't ask for it, deferring personal financial gain in favor of principle. The author calls this "macho pride."

Here's how this will play out: Current alimony judgements will remain in place and those paying lifetime now will continue to do so. Next, they'll put alimony guidelines in place - similar to how they do child support - and set a threshold of difference in income where alimony kicks in. This number will likely be 40%. Then, they'll put in place a range of how long it should last based on duration of the marriage. I predict this number will be 60% of marriage duration. And then as a kicker, if th…

It really goes to the one point you make about how you don't change car tires, etc. The dialogue around division of labor in a relationship (marriage) has been so completely one sided and monolithic that the idea of including the typically male duties is not even considered.

Female senators: "I don't give a shit how much snow is out there. I need you to pick me up at 8am and get me to the office." My other question would be: after the snowstorm was there a snow emergency declared?

If I was a crazy lawyer I'd go after male reproductive rights based on the 14th amendment using the argument that simply based on biology you can't simply leave a father's name off of the birth certificate. I would use the argument that it's discrimination based on biology and since the father doesn't carry the child he's being denied basic parental rights. This would be the beginning of male reproductive rights as it would make equal custody a legal right from the outset. Since Safe Haven laws …

If you want to go after male reprductive rights you really have to go for eithe Safe Haven laws or the fact that custody for mothers is automatic hen the baby is born while men's is approved by institutional action, ie filing the birth certificate, etc. These are the institutions you need to work on. Comparing it to abortion will never work because of the biological angle.

This isn't even historically accurate. For instance, sodomy laws were directed solely at men. I don't think there was ever a woman prosecuted under sodomy laws.

I've got news for you. Most men looking to start a family are not looking for a SAHM to start it with. SAHMs become SAHMs usually because once the baby is born they insist on it.

/r/MensRights12/01/16 02:40 PM

Right, but a peson's ability to consent is distinct from any other external factors. For instance, if a person is passed out their inability to consent has nothing to do with anything else. My point is that if you nullify a child support order on the grounds that the male was a minor and therefore unable to consent, that argues that no minor male is able to consent and it nullifies their power to judge a child support order against ANY minor male.
/r/MensRights12/01/16 02:38 PM

The minor male's ability to consent has absolutely nothing to do with the age of the other person. Please explain to me how it does. There are cases where two minors have sex and at least one (usually the male) is charged with statutory rape. Not 100% on that but I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of those cases.

Here's the real reason they let this shit go on: because if they make the exception for statutory rapes, then every minor boy who impregnates a girl, regardless of her age, will be free from child support judgements. That is, if he's too young to consent, he's too young to consent and therefore he can't be held liable whether the girl is 17 or 27. His ability to consent is independent of the age of his partner and the CS judgement will never stand up. Once they allow the precedent of eliminating…

Men's sex drive peaks at around 25 as does women's. Both slowly trickle away until around 45-52 at which point women basically stop producing sex hormones while men continue down the same path. Also, recent research is showing that men's testosterone actually doesn't decrease as much as previously measured if the study is controlled for healthy subjects.

So what other evidence is his arrest based on if not solely an accusation? I don't know if you're from the US, so you may not be familiar with how the justice system works here.

I highly recommend this book as a resource to understand this stuff better: http://www.amazon.com/Outbreak-Encyclopedia-Extraordinary-Social-Behavior/dp/1933665254 It's basically an encyclopedia of various crazy social movements and moral panics from around the world and throughout history. One of the real eye openers is how much more often women are effected by these things than men are, hence the origin of the word hysteria. Highly recommended.

One example that I'm almost reluctant to bring up is midwifery.

For thousands of years, this scenario resulted 100% in the death of the baby and I'm guessing a fairly high proportion of the women as well. Basically they had two ways to handle it: they had a hook that th…

I know among my gay male friends who are raising children, the kids are all better behaved, happier and doing better in school than their counterparts from either hetero parents or same sex female parents. We go to Provincetown every summer and the gay dads typically have it together while the ga…

The military essentially has to lower standards in order to have any women in combat roles. Here's why: Any woman who can hack that test will be in the top 2% to 5% of physical ability among women. So should these women go to the Ivy League school of their choice on a full athletic scholarship or should they join the infantry instead? Pretty clear outcome if you ask me.

I think that there are two somewhat unforeseen things that will happen in the future with birth control that will really change things for men: First, of course will be a male pill or gel that will change the face of things. IMO they will cut the unwanted pregnancy and abortion rate easily in half. Second and less heard about - women's oral contraceptives will be implicated in the epidemic levels of autism spectrum disorders that are plaguing the Western world. There's actually substantial corre…

Can you point me to a link where a feminist calls thi out? I don't think I've seen that anywhere yet.

Did you ask them if they were on HRT? That's usually the difference. With good HRT she can be like a 30 year old again. Problem is as I said most women aren't doing that anymore.

Agreed that HRT solves most problems, but the problem is most women aren't using it anymore due to cancer scare. I don't know what your personal experience is, but I've also found that you can't really trust most of the available meno info on the net. It's handled in a way to deceive more than to reveal. I think that absent HRT virtually all women lose both arousal and function. I mean if those are dependent on hormones and the hormones are no longer there, the function is gone. Do you know anyo…

Dryness is a euphemism. It's actually called atrophic vaginitis, or atrphy of the vagina. Basically the vaginal tissues need the hormones to stay healthy and elastic. I had one close 60 year old friend tell me that if it wasn't for HRT she wouldn't even be able to get a finger in. I'm telling you, we've all been snowed about women's sexuality. Did you know that half of all viagra scrips are never renewed? Wonder why that is?

My gut tells me it's a bad idea. the family should stick together on family visits so this is a shit test in a way. The other thing is she could use the time with you away to work on her recruitment narrative. That's where women sway others to their side by creating a narrative that leaves out virtually everything she'd done wrong.

It's the same thing with infant mortality. We actually have much better care than the rest of the world.

Urban myth and very similar to most moral panics that periodically occur. This one is actually pretty similar to the witch panics in Salem in the 1600's. It's pretty well scientifically documented that women are prone to this kind of groupthink. One of the more recent dramatic cases was the Tourette's outbreak among teenage girls in Leroy, NY.

It's about the shaming. Women get off on it and always has. It's the equivalent of when an aggressive male with a personality disorder gets off on shoving somebody.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
