2	Which books should men in their 20s/30s read? Robert Sapolsky is an amazing communicator - highly recommend Behave, its a long read but reveals so much about why people do the things they do. He's a professor at MIT and his lecture series is available on YouTube for free...	/r/MensRights	29/06/24 05:39 PM
2	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. Got you. The question is, what proportion of men would simply opt for the paper abortion because its by far the cheapest, most convenient option? I suspect a very significant number(?). The argument seems to be, that in order to create gender parity, we allow men the freedom to abandon their paternal responsibilities. I see the problem, I just don't think this is a solution. It's a fix that sees the problem solely through the lens of gender rights; and not, from the perspective of the child who …	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 06:51 PM
2	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. We aren't suffering this babies-in-dumpsters epidemic in the UK. I've honestly never heard of that...	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 06:35 PM
2	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. Why are you so opposed to a man being able to make that choice? The man having the right to choose whether she has an abortion? Assuming that's what you mean(?) You're saying the man can deny her right to an abortion; or, impose one she doesn't want? Clearly that's absurd; and, because the woman carries the child it will always be the case that she gets to exercise rights that the man will never share. C'est la vie. You get to piss standing up...	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 06:31 PM
1	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. No. My intention is not in assigning victim status, nor men as deadbeats. But it is a charter for men who wish to avoid their responsibilities. And, when you look at figures in the US, the incidence of paternal abandonment (particularly in poor black neighbourhoods) is astonishingly high (70% of kids are fatherless, i believe); and, the life outcomes for those children, by any conceivable metric, are way way down when measured against the outcomes for those who grow up with two involved parents.…	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 06:20 PM
2	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. Be clear about what you're arguing for here - you think men should be given carte blanche to walk away from their parental responsibilities because stamps feet its not fair otherwise? Exactly what is this door that's been '...opened for women'? I'm genuinely perplexed about what the problem is to which OP's radical and draconian suggestions can possibly be the solution. I'm all for laws that support and facilitate the rights of both parents to take an active role in their offsprings upbringing. …	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 05:24 PM
1	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. The overwhelming majority of unwanted pregnancies are unwanted by both parties. I'm guessing here, but I strongly suspect the incidence of pregnancies as a result of the woman lying about being on BC are far outweighed by those where the man has refused to wear a condom; failed to pull out (when promised); or, from coercion, violence or rape. In those (much more common) cases the woman is the victim. But the bottom line is, this isn't a race for the sexes to claim a monopoly on victimhood. Nor, …	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 05:14 PM
0	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. I don't know what country you're in? I'm a UK resident and certainly I know of examples of women who claim child support then make it very difficult for the guy to take a meaningful roll in the child's life, but you can't design your laws around the behavior of a minority of twisted, uncooperative mothers. If you want to look for inequalities in the legal status of men and women when it comes to pregnancy and parenthood - then yes, there's plenty (for the most part it's unavoidable). That's not …	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 04:34 PM
-2	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. I don't understand what relevance that has? No, I'm not against medically sanctioned abortions. It's the woman's perogative to seek one (or, very occasionally, her legal guardians). As for adoption, if the woman wants to give the baby up, again that's her perogative. Ideally the father should be consulted and given the option to take custody. But you can't compel someone to give the father's name (under threat of what?); and, she may have a very good reason for not giving the fathers name e.g. s…	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 04:10 PM
2	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. The proportion of pregnancies resulting from men being raped by women or where sex did not occur (excluding sperm donation) is absolutely miniscule. You cannot make a cogent argument for a radical change in the law based on a 1 in 100 million outlier. If you have a kid, whether you wanted to or not, you need to adapt your life, sometimes radically, to support that child (and yes, the mother) - not look for excuses to abdicate your responsibilities. The statistics that are most salient are those …	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 02:39 PM
6	You should be able to opt out of financial responsibility to an unwanted child. That opens the door to any man to opt out of their responsibilities. And, it's not a 'financial' issue, its about taking parenting responsibilities. If, as a man, you choose not to be present in your childs life, it should absolutely still beholden on you to provide them with basic necessities. You make your choice when you have sex, and if it results in a pregnancy, however that comes about, even if she lied about being on BC, you cannot abdicate your responsibilities, which are to the child. I…	/r/MensRights	11/09/23 12:54 PM
11	How do you protect yourself against being accused of sexual assault. Texts or messages before and after, that specifically reference the intimate time you both enjoyed together. The vast majority of the time it's later, when the relationship breaks down, that a woman will try and infer 'abuse'. To be honest, it's not the police or the courts that you generally need to worry about. 9 times out of 10 there will be sufficient evidence (texts, credit card receipts, hotel or restaurant reservations etc) to show an on-going consensual relationship - it's the damage you…	/r/MensRights	10/09/23 08:25 PM

5	How do men paying child support even pay for retirement? Do they just work forever? I pay 10% of my gross (UK, negotiated with ex, no lawyers or CSA involved). Daughter is with me atleast 100 days/nights a year. Also, it's a two hour round-trip by car to pick her up, which is always my expense as ex doesn't drive. I reckon that's 10,000 miles a year. No way I could sustain that paying 20%. I already don't heat my flat Monday to Friday. It's tough, but in fairness to the mothers of our children, if they're doing the sole parenting through the working week that will also greatly …	/r/MensRights	29/11/22 05:42 PM

2	Serious Question: how many of you know someone who got lied to about being pregnant to get the dude to marry her, and then oops she wasn’t so pregnant any more? F/U question: how are guys so dumb to fall for this? My old boss cheated on his wife with a woman from our office. Not a full blown affair by any means- they'd grown close but only slept together once. Boss immediately said he regretted it and told the woman it was over. Couple of weeks later she contacted the wife, told her they were having an affair and that she was pregnant (a lie). I'm not defending my boss, but the woman he slept with was ruthless in the way she set about ending the marriage and, later, trying to undermine our boss at work...	/r/MensRights	18/11/22 11:45 PM

-3	‘Pink education’: Hungary officials worry school system is ‘too feminine’ Totally agree with you. The Hungarian leader is an autocratic right-wing zealot. Fired half the counties judiciary and replaced them with party stooges. Curbing press freedom and eroding the independence of the education system. Nothing this guy stands for is healthy. It's dangerous and toxic.	/r/MensRights	28/08/22 08:34 PM
9	is calling someone a third wave feminists hate speech? The Radical Left is no less a theocracy than the Christian Right. Cancelling people is undertaken by a self-selecting, self-appointed, unaccountable elite. The extreme version of which is being put on the train to Siberia. They tell us who we can listen to, who gets to speak, who gets to make a living. There is no centre, you're either with them or a fascist. There's not a slither of daylight between the Reddit left and those across the trenches from them. Arrogant, intolerant ideologues all...F…	/r/MensRights	14/07/22 11:50 PM

1	Sexism- It’s all men’s fault (U.K. advert) Death and rape threats are VILE, but constanty grinding away with this only-men-are-the-problem narrative is so destructive. My guess is that there's a relatively small group of boys, mostly living in their parents basements, who proliferate the horrible sexist stuff, but they're the ones who never go outside, so exactly who the billboard is speaking to is anyone's guess. It was exactly the same after England lost to Italy in the football. Front page of every media outlet reporting an explosion …	/r/MensRights	10/07/22 01:57 PM
