| 1 | Great News: U.S. marriage rate hits new low and may continue to declineIt's possible that cohabiting couples with children stick together slightly more often than those without children, because that's the case for marriages according to the data, so it might not be as bad, but with such a high proportion (56%) of Swedish children born outside marriages, the rate can't be that much better than childless couples, or it would reflect on the national stay-together rate for cohabitees. Happy couples who stick together permanently are almost completely absent from telev… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/15 09:56 AM |
| 1 | Great News: U.S. marriage rate hits new low and may continue to declineLet me put it this way. My kids, 12 and 14, are now ruined by the divorce court system and their mother abusing the system. That sucks. Sorry to hear that. The problem is not marriage. The problem is divorce. I definitely agree with that! Kids have a higher probability of doing well with parents who reject that system. They're roughly twice as likely to have parents that split up, though, and unmarried fathers have a hard time getting any access rights whatsoever. That doesn't help you in the le… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/15 02:05 AM |
| 1 | Great News: U.S. marriage rate hits new low and may continue to declineSorry, bad news for that statistically: Break up rates for unmarried couples in the three countries I have seen the data for recently (USA, Sweden, UK) are about twice as high as the break up rates for married couples. This seems to be true irrespective of the popularity of marriage. In Sweden, more than half of children are born out of marriage (mainly to cohabiting couples, and with half the unplanned pregnancies of the USA), compared with only 35% out of marriage in the USA. In the UK, about … | /r/MensRights | 11/08/15 01:51 AM |
| 1 | Great News: U.S. marriage rate hits new low and may continue to declineEr... you've just demanded written evidence that marriage precedes written evidence, which I think is unfairly self-contradictory! Given that some form of marriage ceremony or rite of passage is present pretty much universally around the world, as for birth and death, I think it's fair to assume that formalising a relationship is a very very old thing. I don't imagine people inventing writing and then deciding to do the marriage thing based around a bit of writing. I bet you had to see the villa… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/15 01:30 AM |
| 2 | Great News: U.S. marriage rate hits new low and may continue to declineBreak up rates for unmarried couples in the three countries I have seen the data for recently (USA, Sweden, UK) are about twice as high as the break up rates for married couples. Break-up is getting more popular across the board. Being unmarried makes it much more likely statistically. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/15 01:14 AM |
| 1 | Great News: U.S. marriage rate hits new low and may continue to declineHmmm. Sweden has one of the lowest marriage rates, and one of the highest cohabiting unmarried birth rate (56% vs 35% in the USA), but in Sweden, the split up rate for unmarried cohabiting couples is still twice as high as the marriage split up rate if the children are solely from that relationship, and three times as high if they aren't all. Truly long term cohabitation tends to be rare in a lot of countries. In the UK, for example (I know that's neither the USA or Scandinavian, but I've recent… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/15 12:46 AM |
| 1 | Great News: U.S. marriage rate hits new low and may continue to decline... then divorce. Among college educated couples, 90% of all divorce are initiated by women. Well actually, the more well-educated they are, the more they stick with marriage. Sorry I couldn't find more recent data, but here goes: Marriage survival rates for different educational levels Source: CDC/NCHS, National Survey of Family Growth, 2006-2010 39% High school drop-out 41% High school diploma 49% Some college 78% Bachelor's degree So that "90% of divorces in college educated couples are initi… | /r/MensRights | 11/08/15 12:21 AM |

| 3 | Great News: U.S. marriage rate hits new low and may continue to declineWhere do kids with single parents come from? From pregnancy without marriage, or from divorce? "The proportion of children living with a never-married parent has also grown, from 4% in 1960 to 42% in 2001." - Benokraitis, N: Marriages & families, page 20–21. 6th edition, 2007 I bet it has grown even higher by now. Even if we assume it hasn't grown further (very unlikely), and assume that hardly anyone divorced ever has children again, and knowingly incorrectly assume that the percentage of divor… | /r/MensRights | 10/08/15 11:59 PM |
| 2 | Great News: U.S. marriage rate hits new low and may continue to declineKids with parents who remained married do better? That's less than half. No. I'm afraid your assertions don't match the statistics. It doesn't even matter if parents in Scandinavia get married or not, kids are far more likely to have both parents than kids whose parents get married in America. Absolutely incorrect. I can't find any recent divorce statistic for the USA over 50% apart from race-specific ones - most are in the 40%-50% rate, and some say it's now declining. It's important to note th… | /r/MensRights | 10/08/15 11:47 PM |
| 2 | Native American inmates in Alabama lose battle to wear their long hair due to 'security and hygiene reasons' but all female inmates across the USA are allowed long hair. Blatant gender discrimination.There has to be a case precedent or something to call upon. The U. S. Supreme Court in February kicked the case back for review after ruling the previous month that Arkansas had violated the religious rights of Muslim inmates by forbidding them to grow beards.

| 4 | Native American inmates in Alabama lose battle to wear their long hair due to 'security and hygiene reasons' but all female inmates across the USA are allowed long hair. Blatant gender discrimination.Because long hair is a well-known safety hazard? Because of all the safety problems long hair causes in those 39 jurisdictions and female prisons that allow it? | /r/MensRights | 07/08/15 08:40 PM |
