10	man and woman homeless experiment. the woman got food the man was told to die. While attitude and dress definitely has an impact here, I think you're forgetting how people perceive these things in the real world. Eye contact is often seen as threatening. It's seen as creepy when men make too much eye contact. I work on Bourbon Street, and I come into contact with a lot of panhandlers. having talked with these guys, they often refuse eye contact because they've gotten into bad situations simply from looking at someone too long. Also, men who wear clothes that are too nice o…	/r/MensRights	12/12/17 11:29 PM
1	Since colon cancer is more than ten times more likely to be diagnosed in men that cervical cancer in women, I decided to complain to the NHS about it, let's see if I get a response. As an American, I have no clue whether that's true or not, I was just using it as an illustration to earlier point. I'm guessing from your response it leaves some things to be desired.	/r/MensRights	23/10/17 05:24 AM
13	Since colon cancer is more than ten times more likely to be diagnosed in men that cervical cancer in women, I decided to complain to the NHS about it, let's see if I get a response. Yep, you gotta compliment, then explain how your grievance challenges your positive perception, then explain how you feel things can change to meet your expectation. Something like: You, our National Health System, are looked to the world over for a good example of Universal healthcare done right, and I have not taken for granted the hard work you do. However, it seems to me that the use of funds to raise awareness about cervical cancer while ignoring colon cancer is not in the people's best int…	/r/MensRights	22/10/17 08:35 PM
1	Man serves 4 YEARS in prison for a fake rape accusation until it's discovered the woman lied. He gets $90,000 as a "compensation", she gets a 2 month weekend service-only sentence. When I say standards, I do mean a typical process. I can absolutely agree that it is insanely complex, and that there is no easy answer. I do, however, stand by my convictions in that there should be more evidence than simple testimony to proceed to prosecution. Psych interviews with the accused and accuser (separately of course). Thorough investigation of the accuser and the accused persons personal affairs, such as web presence and phone records. Witnesses to the other events leading up to and…	/r/MensRights	15/05/17 07:25 AM
2	Man serves 4 YEARS in prison for a fake rape accusation until it's discovered the woman lied. He gets $90,000 as a "compensation", she gets a 2 month weekend service-only sentence. I think there's a breakdown of communication here. I am speaking only of the instances where the case goes to trial and the accused is convicted and is punished for a crime they did not commit. In an instance where a rape is reported and there is no evidence of a crime, then it's documented, but not prosecuted. No one goes to prison for a crime that cannot be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Rape cases are far too brought before a jury with no evidence, just testimony. In not her crime would th…	/r/MensRights	15/05/17 06:12 AM
4	Man serves 4 YEARS in prison for a fake rape accusation until it's discovered the woman lied. He gets $90,000 as a "compensation", she gets a 2 month weekend service-only sentence. I'm not saying an accuser should need to have proof to report the crime, I'm saying that it's up to the authorities to which the victim turns to collect sufficient evidence and it is the jury's responsibility to assess that evidence to determine if the crime was committed beyond a reasonable doubt. As far as more actual rapists not being convicted, I will admit that this is a real concern and an upsetting possibility. But that can never be justification for punishing the innocent. That is a larg…	/r/MensRights	15/05/17 04:45 AM
18	Man serves 4 YEARS in prison for a fake rape accusation until it's discovered the woman lied. He gets $90,000 as a "compensation", she gets a 2 month weekend service-only sentence. And if you are to require proof of innocence, you put a lot of innocent people away, too... and we are starting to see that more and more. Proving something did happen and that someone specific did it will always be easier than proving that they did not. That's why the burden of proof has always been on the accuser. Now, please understand that I hate that rape is a crime with very little evidence, especially towards the outer limits of the statute of limitations. Precisely because it means that …	/r/MensRights	15/05/17 02:51 AM
29	Man serves 4 YEARS in prison for a fake rape accusation until it's discovered the woman lied. He gets $90,000 as a "compensation", she gets a 2 month weekend service-only sentence. Originally I was going to say: "Proof, no. Honesty, yes." However, that got me thinking about our justice system, and the fact that the burden of proof is in fact supposed to be on accuser. Innocent until proven guilty. Somewhere along the way it seems to have become flipped for rape accusations.	/r/MensRights	15/05/17 02:20 AM
1	Apparently Homelessness is only a Problem if you are a Woman. This is a bit of blanket statement that is too easily proved incorrect, and distracts from the issue that they do exist, but are unimaginably difficult to get into, are not well advertised, and are often either poorly staffed or equipped, as most people want to donate to women's and children's shelters. SOURCE: I was homeless for about 5 months in Kansas City. For 3 of those months, I attempted to get into each of 3 shelters once or twice a week, and was always either flat turned away or put on …	/r/MensRights	21/03/17 05:30 AM
