Fun fact: Slavery was legal in England (Note: Not the UK) until April 2010. There were of course laws against kidnapping, abduction, false imprisonment, and so on, but the state of one human being actually owning another wasn't recognised in law.

To be honest this doesn't seem like a bad idea. The only problem is the potential for abuse. Let's say the guy went to his local Hooters on a date (Hooters on a date? lol I digress) and some woman uses this just so she can get out of a date without having to actually reject him. Now he completely unfairly looks like an asshole.

history/herstory/xirstory This particular point annoys me the most (not you personally, people that say this sort of thing sincerely) because history isn't a gendered term. It comes from the Greek Historem which refers to the acquisition of knowledge over time.

"Women are just as good at founding and running businesses as men are, and to demonstrate this, we're going to give these women an extra $100,000 to help them get started." Either you believe in equality or you don't. Giving someone a financial advantage based on something other than ability is not equality, it's discrimination. To paraphrase a truly great man, I cannot wait until people are judged not on the content of their pants, but on the strength of their character.

So if he's a humanitarian do-gooder that minors in misandrist writing, then that's okay? "Oh well supporting Milo is fine because less than 50% of what he's written is completely contradictory to everything we stand for." I'm having a hard time seeing where you're coming from. Leaving all that aside for a moment, I have difficulty seeing exactly what would qualify as misandrist, though I don't claim to be fully aware of all of his work. If he's anti-feminist, then I really don't see the problem.…

Eh, I guess it depends. I've seen him come out with stuff I would flat out disagree with, circumcision being one of them as he seems to think it's okay. That being said, I think a lot of people on here agree with him faaaar more often than they will with 99% of the people you'll see on TV. It's definitely true over here in the UK, but he doesn't seem to be on UK TV much these days.

He supports religious gay conversion "praying the gay away", one of the big issues MRAs fight against today. I cannot wrap my head around this... how can any of you support him and call yourselves MRAs??? I think that's a No True Scotsman at work, there. We're not going to 100% agree on everything.

Except we've got it exactly right. In UK law, if a man over 25 has sex with someone under 16, he has no legal defense and will automatically be found guilty. This isn't an unwritten rule, it's there in the relevant legislation

How do the A-levels work? I should imagine they work the same as most qualifications. You achieve a grade based on your performance. One would normally take 3-4 A-Levels whilst at college. (nb, College and University are not the same thing in the UK) I assume it means that a certain grade guarantees entrance to university Depends on the University, some will require, for example, CCC.

I don't want to come across like I would advocate such action, but if Western men wanted to oppress Western women... well, we would.

I suppose I believe there are exceptions to some rules. In the vast majority of cases, the fundamental rights of the individual should prevail, just that in cases like this, I think the best solution involves, unfortunately, compromising some rights in the interests of wider society. Which I agree is unpleasant, but in cases to this degree of severity, it strikes me as the lesser of 2 evils.

No, I'm saying that peoples' right to not be raped prevails over the lack of comfort of an innocent man. If taking precautions is tantamount to ascribing guilt, then you should also object to bail itself. By holding a trial, are you assuming he is guilty? Surely if we presume innocence, the notion of determining guilt through a court should be repugnant. I'm just playing Devils' Advocate. I've already said I don't have an opinion on whether or not he's innocent, and I don't intend to repeat myse…
/r/MensRights19/05/15 09:04 AM

It's not like it's petty theft or even assault, it's 13 counts of rape for God's sake. If he's innocent then it'll be uncomfortable for him, if he's guilty, then he is a clear and present danger to the public. I find it offensive that you think his comfort prevails over people not getting raped.
/r/MensRights19/05/15 08:52 AM
-13

I don't know whether or not he's innocent or guilty, nor do I have an opinion on that. All I am saying is that we shouldn't let people who may have committed 13 acts of rape out of jail until found not guilty. This is out of concern for the public at large.

I'm not advocating treating him, or anyone as guilty, I'm advocating treating him as someone who is potentially extremely dangerous. Therefore it is prudent, in extreme cases only, to not grant bail.

I guess that is what I'm saying. You appear to disagree, which is fine. It's totally unfair, but some criminals are so dangerous they should never be released, and for all we know, this guy is one of them.
/r/MensRights19/05/15 05:00 AM

I would argue someone who may have committed 13 rapes shouldn't get bailed due to the threat to the public, or indeed the possibility he would kill himself before the trial, which would probably prove guilt, but justice would not be served. Also, the strength of his defence should only really be tested in a trial. Now, I'm not saying this isn't a shit situation if you're innocent, but someone's right to not be raped outweighs the comfort of the accused.

We should murder people who draw pictures of the prophet Muhammad while we're at it. Just because you feel a travesty has taken place (which is a view I would share with you,) does NOT give you the right to be violent.

I feel like allowing people accused of serial rape to post bail would cause more problems than it solves. I'm not saying that it's fair but I'd argue it's better than the alternative.

Feminists believe women are at a disadvantage, MRAs hold that most evidence suggests otherwise. Even very moderate Feminists believe in a net disadvantage against women, otherwise the suggestion Feminism = Equality would make no sense. If you're a feminist, then our opinions are likely to be too different for co-operation to really work.

Part of accepting women as equals is accepting they can be equally as good and bad as men are. I don't mean to be rude, but if you believe in the Patriarchy and/or Rape culture, then I am uncertain that you yourself believe men and women have equivalent moral value.

Personally, I think Feminism and equality are different things, or obviously I'd be a feminist. I also think it's disingenuous to imply that objecting to feminism and hating women are the same thing, so I won't entertain that line of reasoning.

1) The police for false arrest. It would have to be a case where they arrested you without good reason, in the past 20 years an allegation by a women is enough to get you arrested so I doubt you can sue the Police. They are not allowed to strip search you, unless you gave them reason, so if they did you could sue them for that. In the UK, the police can do this under certain circumstances. Being arrested is one of them.

Please show your citations that demonstrate that the arts and media have never had any effect on anyone, ever. Shifting the burden of proof I see. You need to demonstrate or prove that people with mental problems of violent fantasies shouldn't play violent games. I would be inclined to say that it gives them an outlet for that violence.

I do think that suggesting we need to make all-inclusive terms for everything What are we talking about? cisgendered isn't an all-inclusive term for everything. My bad, I meant that we don't need gender-specific terms (besides those which already exist) to refer to the vast majority of the population.

My problem with cisgender as a term is it always strikes me as a label that shouldn't exist.

I think cisgender is supposed to refer to someone who identifies as the same sex/gender as they were supposedly "assigned at birth". For example, I am male, but in their eyes, I would be cisgender, ie I identify as the same gender as I was given at birth. This of course totally ignores the fact that biology doesn't care about your feelings. I'm male because I am.

Okay, well the fact is that how they are presented actually makes a massive difference when you're suggesting who has the dominant cultural voice.

Like "military style guns are made to kill". No, they are made to wound, if you are in battle and you kill someone that is 1 enemy down. If you wound someone that is 1 guy down that got hit and 1 or 2 more out of action that are trying to help him. It's actually the type of round, not the gun, BTW. FWIW, that reasoning doesn't apply to all militaries. British triage models are if a man is injured and you're under fire, that man is dead until you can help him.

As consensual sexual partners, they're both responsible for the welfare of that potential offspring. Error in judgement, failure of birth control, this is irrelevant.

this specific instance is a strictly feminist issue at heart. You don't need to be a feminist to think rape is bad, in fact I resent the suggestion that feminism is the "good" position and you're a feminist if you do good things.

Doesn't the idea of there being a rape culture rest on the idea that most people think rape isn't too bad. I'm guessing you think rape is bad, and probably most of your friends, demonstrating that it doesn't exist.

Feminism started out as a movement to try and get women the vote, equality in the workplace, what have you. What we have now is a system, in America and in the UK, where all the legal advantages in court (defences only women can use, lower sentencing and chance of being given a custodial sentence) belong to women, and all the disadvantages in court (the idea that a woman's word will often overrule a man's) belong to men.

I wasn't referring to scholars so much as your typical feminist.

Extreme right economically, centre-right socially speaking. Economics aren't important. What is important is my social views concerning the family, and the fact is, traditional families work. They work so well. When both parties are up for it. The problem with feminism is that some people's greivances, however just, become a justification for a skewed viewpoint on equality.

I hate the intellectual dishonesty in the Guardian. If they were providing stats about rape, they'd be questioned relentlessly. They'd say X rapes are occurred, but Y are ignored. But not here reams of statistics, not a single question about their truth. And people wonder why I hate the Guardian.

I didn't downvote you. Point is, rape is forced vaginal penetration, (or anal penetration in UK law).

In the UK, that's more or less true. Typically, during a divorce, when deciding on child support, a father can request a paternity test at a cost of £257. ($350? That kind of area) and child support typically will be significantly reduced if a mother refuses. Oh, and the state issues a refund if the child isn't his.

"If for some reason they ever found me guilty of raping him, my whole career would be completely destroyed, I'd be put in jail and the children would go in foster care," she said.

I don't understand where all this oppression stuff comes in. I mean really, I've yet to meet a woman who genuinely feels that women are actually oppressed in Western society. Most of the women I speak to couldn't care less about gender issues, which is probably because there isn't really anything to speak of. The problem is, feminists will claim that they're the enlightened ones, and other women's blindness is because of the patriarchy.

Indeed, I'd think it outrageous if a parent walked out on their family. According to my sources, many men do have to pay child support for children that aren't theirs in the US, because the law assumes they're the father, and there's a relatively narrow window to challenge paternity.

I think you're right. We do have strict liability for some things.

In English law, a man 21 or younger can be found not guilty for statutory if he could prove he genuinely thought the girl was 16. There was one case where this guy went to court, and they asked him why he thought it was acceptable. "I met her in a nightclub" acquitted him on the spot.

Oh, there are some horror stories, I think it's because of the general sex-advantage afforded to females, which if you followed the letter of the law, shouldn't exist. My own mother has refused my biological father a paternity test for me and my brothers. We have no doubts he is the father, but his right to have one done isn't being upheld. Though it's because my mum had pretty compelling evidence that she wasn't sleeping around, and the fact we so resemble our biological father.
/r/MensRights08/06/11 09:24 PM

Yes, but paternity is much easier to challenge. It costs £257 ($325 or so) to have a paternity test done, but he always retains the right to do so, and if it turns out he is not the father, the money is reimbursed to him by the state, and his legal responsibilities and rights are dissolved, as far as I know. EDIT: To the best of my knowledge, the courts take a VERY dim view of a mother's refusal for a paternity test, so even though her refusals are upheld in a handful of cases, child support pay…
