3	Women only park spots in germany. Where is the mens only space? Two different concepts. Distinguishing details from a distance is either seeing things individually or as one blob. Depth perception is being able to see in 3D and knowing if that thing in front of you is 2 centimetres or 2 metres away from you.	/r/MensRights	28/03/16 12:14 PM
3	Female teacher, who had sex with 17 year old male, doesn't like be labeled a 'sexual predator'. Suing victim and mother of victim. Yes. From this comment which quotes the Texas Penal Code: (1) sexual contact, sexual intercourse, or deviate sexual intercourse with a person who is enrolled in a public or private primary or secondary school at which the employee works and who is not the employee's spouse; So whether he was her student or not, the fact that she was a teacher at the same institution in which he was enrolled means it is still an improper relationship. And yes, it is very much a felony: (b) An offense under this s…	/r/MensRights	25/02/16 11:34 PM
1	Female teacher, who had sex with 17 year old male, doesn't like be labeled a 'sexual predator'. Suing victim and mother of victim. Implied coercion is really only a factor to consider if it was the person in authority who initiated. If it's the subordinate, then there's no implied coercion that can be claimed. In this particular case I don't recall who was the initiator, however. That being said, your last line is completely false IMO. He recorded it for bragging rights, not for fear of any consequences. "The reason, like, I recorded it was because I had been drinking before, so I was not really in the right mind. I remembe…	/r/MensRights	25/02/16 11:21 PM
17	Female teacher, who had sex with 17 year old male, doesn't like be labeled a 'sexual predator'. Suing victim and mother of victim. While I would tend to agree, I wish to refer you to this comment by /u/TheDude41 who quotes the Texas Penal Code. Sure, he had reached the age of general consent, HOWEVER, being that there was a relationship of authority (teacher/student) it actually was illegal; even if he wasn't in any of her classes, the fact that he attended the same institution in which she taught was enough. The argument is usually that, regardless of age, this person can use their authority to coerce an otherwise unwillin…	/r/MensRights	25/02/16 01:20 PM
1	Seriously guys, stop waiting. The men who are good with women don't wait till they have money, security, ease, confidence... Give what you can today. Because this 'someday' fantasy in your head will never come. Absolutely agree with you. The problem with waiting until you have [X thing] is that once you get it, it's not enough. Now you need more of [X thing] just to be sure, or now that you have [X thing] you need [Y thing] and then you'll definitely do it! Go out. Fail. Make mistakes. Learn from your mistakes. Go out again. Fail again. Learn again. Rinse, repeat, succeed. Eventually you take those lessons, apply them to other situations, grow and succeed in other areas too.

She might say yes, she might say no. But you can do something like "Well, [G2's name], you're still welcome to come in for a drink.

The repetition of "Repost" adds to that; if they wanted to be short, quick and efficient, then it should have been: Reposts: link 1 link 2 link 3 Also all of the links are from different sources, so the issue of "giving credit" becomes a bit muddled; yes you can give credit to the person who first provided a link to that story, but each source'S account may be worded differently or contain some information that the others hadn't.

Not complaining per se, but taking the time to find previous posts and then linking them with the tag "Respost" seems quite passive aggressive and not quite "politely pointing it out" as the reddiquette would suggest be done.

1	The Gender Pay Gap is a fashionable myth Exept for when the countless males that get rejected go over to their office and see that it is 100% women. That does not mean that they hired based on gender. The office I work in is 90% women, but that's just because those are the candidates who apply. I've gone through hiring for my company and most of the applicants we received were female.	/r/MensRights	22/12/15 06:59 PM

1	The Gender Pay Gap is a fashionable myth Oh wait, thats not possible because its fucking illegal. It's only illegal if you make it known that your main hiring criterion is gender. If you do not explicitly state to any female candidates that they were hired solely because of their gender, or to any male candidates that they're not being hired because of their gender but rather something along the lines of "you're not a good fit for our culture", the line gets blurry. Something like "you don't quite have the experience we're looking for"…	/r/MensRights	22/12/15 01:09 PM
1	The Gender Pay Gap is a fashionable myth Most companies though are too greedy, too dumb, or too poorly-managed to be able to see the benefit. I would argue that's not always the case. In a larger corporation, sure, that's probably true. But SMBs are likely unable to afford paying someone who is not being productive. Because not only do they have to pay that person X% of their salary while they're gone, they also have to replace them to make up for the loss of productivity, which means paying their salary at around 100% to someone else.…	/r/MensRights	22/12/15 12:54 PM

6	The Gender Pay Gap is a fashionable myth It absolutely is a choice. Women have the choice to have children or not, it's not forced upon them. Like any choice, it has pros and cons that need to be evaluated. One of the cons being removal from the workforce and thus decerased earning potential. Now, I imagine the argument "yeah but if all women stop having children then our species will die out" will come up. That will never happen.

(this is not aimed at you, but you sparked a mini-rant) Consent or not, most (if not all) countries/states/provinces/territories/etc have some sort of statutory rape provision. The assumption is that even though consent was given, it was not "informed" consent as the minor likely did not fully understand the decision they were making and the potential ramifications (i.e. STIs, pregnancy). Now, the court heard that the boy was "mature for his age", was "sex mad" and considered it a "notch in his …	/r/MensRights	10/12/15 06:01 PM

I really do want to continue this discussion with you, as I haven't quite fleshed out my entire argument (and feel you've twisted/misinterpreted some of what I'm saying as aresult), but my dominant hand is broken and it takes far too long for me to type out long responses.

1	Where can we have open-minded, balanced, polite and respectful debates? That's not the issue at hand. The problem is with governments making rules and laws that benefit one gender and harm another. Saying [gender/race/religion] can't do [this thing] but [other gender/race/religion] can do [that same thing] is the fundamental definition of discrimination. If men can't opt out of parenthood, then women shouldn't be able to either. If it's deemed women have that right, then men should too. Simple. Full stop. It's this fancy concept called equal rights.	/r/MensRights	07/10/15 08:22 PM

So what you're saying is that women are too stupid to realize they are being led to inferior opportunities, and too weak to make a decision for themselves to not follow these career paths?

And they like to push those onto their contractors.

If you look at this document released by the FBI, the definition of rape is right on the first page: The new Summary definition of Rape is: “Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.

1	11 Sexiest Pedophiles (x-post r/rage) But I think that comes down to people misusing terms, just the same in this thread and the title, "pedophile" is used out of context. Rape's fundamental basis is non-consensual sexual intercourse - force is not a required factor, yet far too many people believe it is.

You're right; generally paedophilia has a cut-off age of 11, and usually never exceeds 13 - basically, it's sex with prepubescent children.

Let me start by saying that I don't agree with this at all, as if the genders were reversed, there would be no leeway and probably greater pressure. That being said, I have little problem with the actual event/relationship. This may be my bias because I'm Canadian (age of consent here is 16).

But sure, let's make major decisions based appearances alone. I would also say that stated platform/policy positions don't necessarily equate directly to decisions made once elected, for a plethora of reasons ranging from the scummy and self-interested to the perfectly pragmatic. Truth.	/r/MensRights	04/05/15 07:23 PM
2	"I Am Voting With My Vagina: Hillary Clinton For President".... I don't think anyone has ever stated they would vote with their penis to elect a man for the sake of electing a man. But sure, let's make major decisions based appearances alone. I interpret "platform" as basically being a list of policy positions, and each individual voter following your described procedure would prioritize those and select the candidate who had the greatest level of agreement with their positions, weighting agreement on each individual policy by that policy area's assigned priority. In this, I agree. preferred race/gender/etc would essentially be another item on that list, and that it should be prioritized beneath all other policy positions whereas, to…	/r/MensRights	04/05/15 07:09 PM

But sure, let's make major decisions based appearances alone. You raise some good points... Oftentimes, especially for minority groups, the candidates who will best understand the plights of those communities, and who will thus be the best equipped to improve those communities' lots in life, are the candidates who are members of those communities by way of race or gender. I absolutely agree. But just because someone running for a given office is a minority, and understands their plight, doesn't mean that they're the best person to bring about actionable ch…	/r/MensRights	04/05/15 05:58 PM
1	Woman to become FDNY firefighter... despite failing crucial physical test It was merely to illustrate a point. I didn't say a man wouldn't have trouble carrying me on his own, just that she in particular would have no chance in hell. Someone who is physically fit and can pass the test that illustrates the real-world physical demands of the job would have a much easier time than someone who can't. This document seems to indicate under the prep for Rescue section that they need to be able to do 4 reps, with a 2 minute rest interval between each, with a 165 lb "victim" w…	/r/MensRights	04/05/15 02:53 PM

But sure, let's make major decisions based appearances alone. And I get it, 100%. However, IMO that's not intelligent voting. People need to vote for people who will improve their communities, their towns, their states/provinces...their countries. Platform first, gender/racial qualities second. Now, if there are two candidates that are nearly the same in your mind, then by all means pick the woman. Or the minority. But please, do not make that your whole focus. It is detrimental to the process and will hurt you and your countrymen/women in the long run. I …	/r/MensRights	04/05/15 02:19 PM
1	7 more legal rights women have that men don’t While I can't speak for Finland in particular, I thinkt eh point of reference was "conscription immunity", as pointed out in parentheses. Where the voting part comes in, AFAIK, is that conscription and voting are both activities that one must be of legal age of majority in which to partake; therefore, the female immunity to conscription means you can vote without having to worry about being conscripted, such as male counterparts would have. Again, this is just my interpretation based on the info…	/r/MensRights	04/05/15 01:54 PM
3	Woman starts all female company to realize her Utopian dream and benefit the absence of men. Despite having made $500k in the first year she had to shut down due to catfights, jealousy, infighting, competition, sexual aggression and no work was done. Conclusion: she would rather employ males only. Try to start a company and hire an all-male staff and see how quickly you get feminists banging down your door shouting inequality...but let a woman run an all-female company on purpose, and nothing happens aside from their own internalized destruction. No MRAs, no government, nobody telling them to hire men...	/r/MensRights	04/05/15 01:06 PM
4	Woman to become FDNY firefighter... despite failing crucial physical test I'm not american, or the one you asked, but I don't believe it was "recent" at all. The sources that I found cite it as First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, at the First Ladies' Conference on Domestic Violence, in San Salvador, El Salvador -- NOVEMBER 17, 1998 Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, m…	/r/MensRights	04/05/15 12:58 PM
1	Woman to become FDNY firefighter... despite failing crucial physical test I am a 300 lb man. Now, I may not live in NY, but if my house ever caught fire and she was one of the responders I'd be dead. Think about that for a second, "feminists". There are physical job requirements for a reason; I'm not miraculously going to lose weight if my house lights aflame so that she can carry me. My home won't miraculously stop flaming and smoking because she's too slow and running out of air. Oh but wait, as a man, that would be my fault for being too heavy for her to carry.

But sure, let's make major decisions based appearances alone. This is essentially turning a very serious political issue (voting) into a high school popularity contest. Gender should have absolutely nothing, zero, zip, zilch, to do with an election. I know it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, but candidates should be anonymous. An online system, exposing candidates' platforms, but no identifying information. No name, no age, no race, no gender.

1	Woman gets rejected for a job because she wore a t-shirt and was late, complains that it's sexism This is true. My initial comment was more directed to the possibility of a larger scale "smear campaign". Generally, I would think they would want to squash any false accusations fairly quickly if they could cause long term harm...this, however, doesn't seem like that type of scenario (though it seems that's what the girl wanted)	/r/MensRights	17/04/15 07:35 PM
2	Woman gets rejected for a job because she wore a t-shirt and was late, complains that it's sexism It's not unheard of that companies let you know why you were not selected...it's just not all that common. That being said, I agree: their particular response to her seems out of place. However, if it were not accurate, I think they would have taken the opportunity to comment and correct it, so I see little doubt that it's a legitimate response.	/r/MensRights	17/04/15 07:15 PM
1	Woman gets rejected for a job because she wore a t-shirt and was late, complains that it's sexism I wholeheartedly agree. I feel that if you were good enough to get an interview, you deserve to know exactly why you weren't selected so that you can improve upon whatever issue(s) you had.	/r/MensRights	17/04/15 05:43 PM
5	Woman gets rejected for a job because she wore a t-shirt and was late, complains that it's sexism They didn't volunteer the info; she asked for it. From the article: After a few weeks with no word, Bentivegna followed up with the recruiter. "She told me that OnShift would love to hire me based on my technical skills and personality, but that they were not going to. These are the reasons she cited: 1) I 'looked more like I was about to go clubbing than to an interview.' 2) I 'had a huge run in my tights' 3) I was late." You're right about people over-sharing and I'm all but certain the compan…	/r/MensRights	17/04/15 03:54 PM
4	Woman gets rejected for a job because she wore a t-shirt and was late, complains that it's sexism That's true in almost any industry, unless you have literally zero interaction with people. You can't teach soft skills, no matter how hard you try. Knowledge can always be learned and "hard" skills can be trained.	/r/MensRights	17/04/15 03:52 PM

6	Woman gets rejected for a job because she wore a t-shirt and was late, complains that it's sexism That seems to be exactly it. You can nail all of the questions, but if you're unprofessional or have a bad attitude, good luck. It's been mentioned elsewhere in this sub that many interviewers purposefully try to hire women into I.T. roles because they are far outnumbered by the men and it seems like some women might have let this go to their heads, thinking they should be entitled to jobs, rather than offered them based on merit. Keep in mind, not all women have this line of thinking, but it…	/r/MensRights	17/04/15 03:19 PM
4	Woman gets rejected for a job because she wore a t-shirt and was late, complains that it's sexism And I 100% agree that she overstepped and was unequivocally unprofessional. That being said, while I'm not entirely familiar with the labour laws in the U.S. (I'm Canadian) employers still have to be careful as there are likely laws in place regarding equal opportunities and discrimination and whatnot. Don't get me wrong, an employer has no obligation to hire someone; hell they can refuse to hire you because you're black, or a woman, or whatever else they want to discriminate against - as long a…	/r/MensRights	17/04/15 02:39 PM
30	Woman gets rejected for a job because she wore a t-shirt and was late, complains that it's sexism To be fair, the employer said more than they should have. Their response should have simply been something along the lines of "We apologize, but we do not believe you are a good fit with our corporate culture." That could mean any number of things and would include their feeling that she was unprofessional and late. Sure, she probably would have complained, but then they're not tying it to her attire which is what seems to have sparked the issue. Either way, I wouldn't have hired her based on be…	/r/MensRights	17/04/15 01:56 PM
