6	North Carolina Passes First Free-Speech Law To Prevent Campus Censorship Disclaimer: I'm not your lawyer, but I am a NC lawyer. Apologies for the terrible formatting. _ 1) This is not retaliation against UNC Chapel Hill (the famous UNC). It is a statutory restraint on the UNC board of governors which regulates the state's publicly funded universities. This law only applies to NC's public universities and its effect is to codify first amendment speech rights into public university administrative code. Basically it forces universities to treat themselves as state actor…	/r/MensRights	02/08/17 02:04 PM
5	never get married TL;DR: This is pretty interesting. He appealed and lost. She gets to eat his retirement and when that runs out she comes to the negotiating table with all the power and he has to find a (non JD) job that hires people with jail time. Also, on a cynical note, depending on his total retirement she might have gotten more if she had kept him out of jail for more than the contempt and worked out payments that would have lasted... For those with time to read: Brief of his appeal I liked the last line o…	/r/MensRights	10/05/13 03:00 AM
2	MRM is apparently offensive, uneeded, and not worth anyone's time. According to the DailyUW, college newspaper. "An open letter to men's rights activists" My favorite parts of this are paragraph 3 and the end of paragraph 7. The third is basically a paradox of identity. The author literally asks people who disagree to not reply knowing that they will reply and then intends for that action to be a means of strengthening their case? I'd say it was a smart tactic if it weren't so transparent and humorous. It's just X will happen because X is X and if you show me ~X then you're proving X, right? Paragraph 7's last sentence is just a nitpicking on my p…	/r/MensRights	19/04/13 11:36 AM
15	We Went to a Men's Rights Lecture in Toronto "...and the lecture went on as scheduled." Sorry, but what's the definition of scheduled? Forgive me if I'm confused about the definition, does it mean 'starting late and with limited viewership as a result of a mass of people barring entry'? As for the use of scheduled in reference to the most recent event at U of T, did they intend to have the fire alarm pulled? Did they intend to be interrupted by that, people beating on the door and screaming outside, turning off the lights? Were these thing…	/r/MensRights	18/04/13 06:38 PM
3	I just saw the case of Charlene Hill on 48 hrs. Probation for killing her husband and one of the conditions is that she address battered women's groups. Avoiding all other comentary, the only thing I really do not understand is why the Judge had "assured" the lawyers that he would take the plea. If you were going to accept that as a resolution for the case then why did you waste time and money on an actual trial? Did she plea something other than guilty? And if so why was that plea accepted over the proven guilt of that trial and the sentencing that would result from it?	/r/MensRights	24/03/13 04:34 AM

45	Whoopi Goldberg on woman's spitting and assault of Cleveland bus driver: "Women have this idea that you can hit and punch on a man .. and it's ok and he's not going to hit you back. Those days are gone". What's more is that she is apparently consistent with this, it was her that directed Biden to a similar topic. I'm not sure how long she has actually been this way on this but she certainly seems to at least be more aware and willing to directly address it than the V.P.	/r/MensRights	16/10/12 02:22 AM
2	Checked out the spot where JohnTheOther posted his posters... this is what has replaced them...WTF! For future reference a /s (or even /f for those who had grandmothers who used facetious) is a good means of denoting the tone and intent.	/r/MensRights	17/09/12 11:53 AM
0	Mention r/mensRights on reddit, get flagged for sensitivity testing! fauxmosexual If you're interested in gender issues you should read feminist blogs, this stuff is really elementary gender studies. That made me put my head on the desk. Academics and Philosophers don't become popular just by publishing arbitrary pieces of opinion* (what blogs are). They become accepted and part of people's world-views only after their opinions are beaten to death by their audience. There's a reason texts of Descartes' meditations (and others) almost always include the critiques …	/r/MensRights	24/08/12 10:06 PM
6	Imagine the shit storm if a man were to do this. This would be an effective way to rob someone. A good looking girl to pick pockets and run through crowds smiling while she did it. Guys probably wouldn't even figure it out till she was gone.	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 05:09 PM
3	Dude throws tantrum on account of ‘sexism’; feminists laugh their faces off When I read this I thought it was satire. She actually used "...,like,..." (the valley girl colloquialism, P8). This sort of person comes across as the sort who would go to college for women's studies and forget to supplement it with any sort of standard political theory or western philosophy. She completely neglects the concept of people being equal in right regardless of capacity; which is not a surprise seeing as it's apparently become a standard for opinion articles (more of a blog). It's on…	/r/MensRights	21/08/12 02:21 PM
1	"Men are basically unevolved dogs", "the Y chromosome is broken", "men are just testosterone damaged versions of women", "all humans are born female". This is the kind of hateful bigotry currently infecting the skeptic movement. I'm just going to put my head on the table and relieve myself of another sigh. Old twilight zone episodes are 10x more question inducing than what this video shows.	/r/MensRights	05/08/12 01:35 PM
5	[POLL] How many conservatives vs liberals on this subreddit? Socially: Libertarian Fiscally: Libertarian leaning conservative. Rights being the foremost issue. [Rant, ignore it] i.e. Companies lobbying to protect market share (ISPs, twc and comcast -_- <looking at you) is wrong. A potentially proper use of government power in situations like that to produce local demi-utilities (Greenlight)so long as it is accepted using the correct local political proceedings and matching all superseding laws (for Federalism's sake, guess that's the conservative bit).	/r/MensRights	19/07/12 03:50 AM
1	Tumblr Feminism ist definition So I would assume from that definition of ist that a sexist is one who's beliefs and ways of behavior are based around sex. Power structures are not a part of sex, they are the result of a societies throughout history. They regard sexes differently according to their own beliefs which can be described as sexist (or whatever ism you like). This person responding here reads as though they took an introduction to feminist theory class and bought every word of it without considering t…	/r/MensRights	09/07/12 02:02 PM
5	Saw this on Facebook and it pissed me off. Apparently single dads are incapable of creating a "home" Considering the lack of a pun in this it's probably just someone trying to express their opinion regarding how much they love their mother (though strangely, not simply by say "I love you" to her). I doubt that someone posting this trash on facebook means this as a serious opinion regarding all families and is simply forgetting the Mothers day was in May (or something, apparently I don't love my mom enough).	/r/MensRights	23/06/12 07:10 PM
7	/v/'s summary of the "Tropes vs. Women in Video Games" kickstarter, and all the fuzz about it. Not to be too cynical or anything, but I somehow doubt that that money could have had any chance of making it to those charities regardless of this supposed stunt (reserving personal judgement because I know nothing about this). I say this for the same reason you ended with.	/r/MensRights	18/06/12 03:21 PM
7	I have never been so disgusted by blatant misandry After I saw this video I went and briefly checked my school's gender specific facilities and services. First thing to note is that apparently there is auto-fill when you enter "women's " and you get a number of options. If you enter "men's " no auto-fill occurs. The actual searches for X gender "care" result in very different things. There are no facilities for men specifically, whereas there are at least two noted for women. One for bodily issues and one for support groups and mental care. All …	/r/MensRights	04/05/12 10:31 PM
0	From the sister of black visions who committed suicide - a thank you to men's rights I would argue yes. Simply because trolls often say things that others take seriously and that leads to the serious people thinking in ways they otherwise wouldn't. Sometimes this can help the serious person in their way of thinking about things that they care about. There's also the fact that dealing with trolls regularly leads to a better capacity to deal with them. However, what happened here was not trolling for ideas, this (according to the prosecution) was an instance where the person(s) so…	/r/MensRights	12/04/12 12:23 PM
2	Since when do women ever buy condoms? And now it is a right to have Vagisil, "pubic hair removal," and to use two rolls of toilet paper for one every man uses. Articles like this rustle my jimmies. Not to be uptight or anything, but the majority of these expenses could be solved by not having sex. Or at very least being principled about who you're willing to have sex with (not principles like 'screw all the things').	/r/MensRights	09/04/12 10:24 PM
0	Fuck everything about this. So basically, women shouldn't date anyone? (satire) guess we can skip the dates then and reach the conclusion -_-	/r/MensRights	09/04/12 10:21 PM
1	Think all feminist groups are harmless? Think again I think we can all agree that there are crazies on all sides of...well, life. I would just request that crazy people be sure to point out how crazy they are for me so I don't have to consider it. For instance the use of the phrase "Civic minded" with anything that wishes to initiate a regime change that destroys half the citizenry is probably a miscalculation by whoever decided to use that phrase. It makes taking these sorts of folks a little more laughable and subsequently more bearable.	/r/MensRights	07/11/11 02:06 AM
