yes you're right, also life, but teh crime isn't rape and so won't appear on any stats etc but good catch

The female one doesn't carry the same sentence, rape is "life" and "causing sexual activity without consent" is 10 years and isn't termed rape and so never appears on rape statistics. rape: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/section/1 causing sexual activity without consent: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/section/4

No that's my point, and showing only one set of replies to lone profile doesn't let you understand much. Also you aren't seeing the replies that responded negatively to casual sex offers etc., nor are we seeing the same messages from a less attractive tindr profile, and what, if any varianve in the responses that prompted. If the profile owner wanted to do a "proper" job? 3 profiles highly attractive/less attractive/less again and count three sets of replies for a hook up, positive/negative/neut…

It's also a "selected" group of replies, so confirmation bias with come in to play. I don't think this illustrates anything much at all as you imply. At best it's anecdotal and we can say that some women when approached on Tindr by a beautiful man were very open to the idea of recreational sex.

it already happended, I think it was colloquially know as the 30 second second rape in Australia. not the bests of links, sorry. The woman withdrew consent during the act, the guy Kevin Ibbs, did seven months and was then released on appeal and his wife and teh woman who withdrew consent were jailed for conspiracy.

Do you have a link here? I've heard someting similar before but it appears to contrast with the average livespan for women being 4 or so years longer than men's. If I take what you said at face value you just mean men have a lower chance of reaching 60 which is just as much of a problem.

Fair point, but we don't know what her plea is, it doesn't state. It could be a "not guilty due to mental incapacity"... because I can't control my libido and I'm not responsible for my own actions. Which wouldn't surprise me, sadly.

Accused; She's not guilty until convicted. I've said this before, we insist on this for men, we should insist upon it for women too. We should insist upon it for everyone. However, given her intended defence, I don't think the outcome is in much doubt. edit:spelling

It's a legal inequality. If a woman has sex with a man against his will, it isn't classified as rape, it doesn't appear in any rape statistics, and the maximum sentence is 5 years lower than that for rape.

It's not the custom, but it isn't illegal and doesn't have to be performed by any medical professional with appropriate training in a medical facility. Nor are infant deaths due to circumcision counted in any way that correlates the death to MGM. The death certificate usually lists blood loss.

Also, how do you define "depression", sat weeping and crying is one way of coping, another is drinking, aggression and isolation. One garners more sympathy and support than the other and what "depression" looks like. This is due to generations of focusing on the problems of one gender.

It also seems against some fundamental other legal principles. i.e a male under the age of 18 who has sex, either with, or amazingly without, consent has entered into a binding contract of financial liabiity if the woman becomes pregnant. I didn't believe a child could do such a thing.

A 14 year old can go into a bar, so you can't place any faith in that argument. A club may have a 21+ policy but if they looked younger than 16 you'd be on shaky ground I reckon sayin' you just assumed 'cos they were in there.
/r/MensRights12/12/15 01:16 AM

16 is the age of consent in the UK, but yes pretty much, say you took a picture and she looked 21, your lawyer would still have to make the argument though.
/r/MensRights12/12/15 12:52 AM

Yeah I knew you (US) had it for all bar some (this type of crime). I agree that saying no, that's that. However, UK law is such that this crime wouldn't even be classified as rape, it's (believe it or not) unwanted sexual intercourse, and has a lower sentence. One might even call such framing of a law sexist.
/r/MensRights11/12/15 11:52 PM

Well UK law, as oppossed to US, has the element of Mens Rea (intent). So it's common for accused (man or woman) to attempt to argue that the child didn't appear to be so. My understanding is that this isn't a defense available in teh US? I'll bet if we saw a picture of the kid though, it'd be obvious she was aware what she was doing.

They weren't after universal suffrage for women, at least not at first. They were after votes for the wives of the 40% of men tha had the vote. So the rich wives wanted the vote just like their rich husbands. In the UK until you see it in socioeconomic terms with suffrage sliding down the economic groups with a strong link to military service, it makes no sense at all. The milliion dead men also makes sense of the age limit at 21 for men and 31 for women brought in in 1918, and then lowered to 2…

While its not the norm in the UK (me too), It doesn't have to be performed by anyone with any medical training, nor need it be performed in any medical/surgical premises, nor do they track infant mortality as a result of circumcision in any stats (death certs list it as death due to blood loss I believe). So while it isn't common in the UK, it is completely legal and completely unregulated and unmonitored.

Does that extend to contempt of a court order to pay child maintenance? In this case the court order is ludicrous, a decent (but expensive lawyer would argue she's protecting her child against grevious bodily harm). Incidentally the child maintenance ordrs are often equally incompetent and shouldn't lead to a sentence.
/r/MensRights20/05/15 10:45 PM

Well that's how you see it ... The logical progression of your position is that you'll be allocated an unwanted child from the state to you. For you to adopt. Your choice does not feature. Raising so one else's child is fine, noble even, I'd that is what you chose to do. If you do it but are unaware then you have had any element of choice removed. Choice is the key element here and knowledge allows you to make a choice. It might be the most important thing in the world to me to have offspring ge…

Not really in this case he wants to use their Embryos to produce a pregnancy with a surrogate against her will. The "Normal" roles of a woman wanting to have a kid and the man not are reveresed in this case.

She shouldn't be allowed to dictate what happens with these embryos.... and neither should he. If either fails to consent to their use, that's that. It's equal and its fair. I'd say the same thing if teh genders were reversed. Nobody here is pregnant and they therefore both have equal rights.

No not butchered, but I'm really curious about how much better sex may have been with those extra 10-15,000 nerves. I also really object to the double standard, the complete lack of regard/discussion about consent. the complete lack of tracking of the associated infant mortality (seriously it doesn't have to be done by anyone with medical training in the UK). I could go on. So while I don't feel butchered it does strike me as barbaric on multiple levels.

at the beginning of the 20th century in the UK men had the vote women did not. This is WRONG. Men did not have the vote ... Rich men, landowners and the like had the vote , about 40% of men. In the UK universal suffrage for men was introduced in 1918 ( right after WW1) which was when it was introduced for women also. The only differences were age thresholds, 21 for men , 31 for women. This was equalised at 21 for both in 1928. The only reason that difference in 1918 existed is that so many men w…

What is also interesting is that if everyone agrees it was rape, legally, in the UK anyway, it wouldn't be classified as rape. It is a crime, I think its unwated sexual intercourse, if guilty the sentence is lower and it won't appear as rape on any statistics as rape, it appears as a sexual assault.

I would dispute that our legal rights are the same. As a male I do not have teh same protections under the law that a woman has. Mine are significantly lower. In the UK (me) an infant male may be circumcised an infant female may not be, further the male circumcission need not be performed by a medical professional and it need not be conducted in a hospital. In the UK if a woman has sex (PIV) with me against my will it is not classified as rape and while illegal the penalities for that act are si…

At that time in the UK, not all men had the vote either... The men who fought in WW1, no vote. These women didn't want universal suffrage, the wanted the vote for them selves just like their uppermiddle class, upper class husbands. they didn't want votes for all women, or all men. just rich women.

I would think EVolution required men to be more emotional AND develop the capability to control that and function. How else can you persuade a man/husband/father to fight and die for the family/tribe/country and a woman/wife/mother to let him. She has to be less emotional in this regard, he has to be more.

The problem I see is one of framing.

In the ideal world both parties have access to effective birth control but consent to sex is not consent to parenthood. I'm not in the USA but my understanding is Roe Vs Wade dealt with that concept, so why doesn't that concept apply to men also. Te mechanism for that is debatable. I'm not advocating either forcing a woman to carry to term or forcing her to abort (her body her choice), but doesn't he get a choice too?

What's interesting is that in the 1918 act the age of universal suffrage was 21 for men and 30 for women. This was altered in 1928 to also take women down to 21. The reason for the 1918 difference was that so many men were dead the electorate would have been completely skewed.

I was speaking exclusively of teh UK, I'm less aware of American law on this. In the UK, if she uses an object to penetrate him, its rape. The grey area is if she uses him to penetrate herself.

Not really ..

I read it. I think there is a fundamental flaw in this analysis.

No that's "good" with a slight smile, slight nod and a slight exhalation. I normally use these when something incredibly important happens and words can't really convey the sense of relief/ achievement. You may even say "good" again after the nod....

Don't you also have to do a week a year until 30? Also the vote you held if you think about it is very controlling of male behaviour , everyone over 18 got to vote on what men from 18-30 do with a sizeable percentage of their lives. Sounds quite unfair.

Repeat after me... Thou shalt not question feminism... Thou shalt not question.... To be fair join a union is a worthwhile suggestion ... If you're not say... A soldier , a roofing contractor or a fisherman etc etc. And the number of a sexual support hotline is really useful , and when you go to any feminist site on rape they give you the number , for men too as the actively are concerned about make rape... Just as Long as you acknowledge less happens to men... And it's all men's fault... They r…

Ah yes what you are failing to see is that many crimes simply cannot be perpetrated against men. For example not a single man in the UK was raped ever...ever, until that is 1994 when the definition of rape in the 1956 act was upadated...but prior to that it just never happened. After that, 1995 in fact men started raping men but prior to that it never happened, and women raping men... ridiculous. Until the law of course was changed again in 2003. So violence against men, forget it, rape is all I…

You yourself describe it as a belief. The thing is I do understand what is meant by "The Patriarchy". I have not yet seen anyone present a single piece of solid evidence. You belief comes from a mixture of confirmation bias and selective interpretation. Consider this relatively simple few questions; When was universal male suffrage introduced in the UK? When was universal suffrage introduced for women. What differences existed between the two? and why? When were those differences eliminated. The…

What fact for you proves "The Patriarchy" exists? You say it is a fact, do you have some demonstrable evidence? I see. Have you ever tried to understand what is meant by the Patriarchy? Could you explain why you think it's "bunk"? The onus is on the person making the claim to demonstrate it is real.

Your point is well recieved and I'm not intending to imply that women can't enforce boundaries ( I regret I did so) , but in this case the two women didn't enforce the boundaries or teach the necessary lesson. Because a father was once a boy himself, he's probably better placed to understand the mentality and attitude of a boy. Yes a parent can "become good at it all" but this is rare. Statistically children do "better" if both parents are around and involved, but this may be correlation and not…

If I harmed them in defending myself, who would believe me? I wonder how she would react if a male victime said this exact thing? I sympathise but a 9 year old boy is being curious and playful and lets be honest... boobs... but this IS the moment for the sharp lesson in boundaries. A stern talk and quite possibly some discipline... none of which was forthcoming, it's certainly not the time for a potentially life altering charge of sexual assault, or an insidious comment years later. I wonder if …

It Won't even be that simple I would think. It'll be nothing to do with them being men other than... Lets try a thought line, I apologise but this is on the fly: Men spend less in fashion items Therefore less money (profit) is made on men's fashions. The advertising budget is therefore smaller The spend per campaign is smaller and campaigns are less frequent. Males models are therefore less in Demand. Males models therefore appear less frequently and are less recognisable. And therefore more int…

I think this is a simplistic analysis as the nature of the market is different for men. E.g David beckam probably earns more that the listed top male model for his advertising photos etc. but these are termed endorsements and he's categorised as a sports star and not a model. Male sports stars possibly intrude further into the "modelling" domain and the wages of strict male models than female sports stars do. Secondly, meh...., market forces are at work here, essentially this is about productivi…

The article is interesting though in that it highlights a lack of understanding of first principles, as of course they don't acknowledge any right of the child to not have their body altered; Nor do they explore consent in any way. The discussion appears wholly concerned with parental rights to exercise religious freedom.

Well it's something, but there's nothing that says it offers support to women concerned about being abusive, nor is there direction to sheltered accommodation for male victims. It would be interesting to hear what happens when someone calls in. What the assumptions of the call centre are, if any. I'd call but I'm not in Australia.

Its also a clear example of legal inequality, little girls have rights and protections under the law that little boys do not. I would treat them both equaly and protect them all from elective medical procedures of any sort.
/r/MensRights29/06/13 02:05 PM

Ahh I read it as sarcastically making the point about how MGM is accepted without question in western society. As well assuming a point about FGM. I think MRAs support a logical and equal approach to the law in that no elective medical procedures of any sort should be performed on any child until such time the child matures to adulthood.

Well you're an adult, you get to have privacy and opinions of your own. Be honest with your mother but you are under no obligation to tell her the ins and outs. Why don't you just try a phonecall, it doesn't have to be a huge performance, just arrange a time and ensure you have some pivacy. Say hi... introduce yourselves, keep it light. you needn't tell all your stories now, try it on for size, he'll probably be delighted to speak to you. you can have a deeper phoncall/skype later

I'd say you should go speak to the guy; he may regret what he did, he may have a perspective on what happened you never heard, he may just want to say sorry. Speak to the guy. All the choices here are yours, just be safe as this guy is effectively a stranger to you. He wants to change that.

While the title is typically sensationalist, this was a scientific article. They even included a rebuttle, which seemed more credible to me. let the Science play, unlike sociology or other "Soft-Sciences", Evolutionary Biology homes in on the answers over time. Let us not be the group that stiffles the scientific method, or facts. Debate things on their merits and let ideas win through on their own I say.

No Prenup - no marriage. If she can say its ridiculous to get married with one and not budge, you can say the reverse and not budge. Additionally, I would advise against marriage. Divorced, problems with access to kids, paying child support, etc etc etc. I think you'll find a lot of people here asking why you want to open yourself up to such risk.

I'd say contact him again, and say everything you said above and take it from there. He'll probably be delighted to speak to you, remeber you aren't telling him something he didn't know; He knows he didn't abuse you, you are telling him somthing you didn't know. See if you have a relationship, you can discuss anything else (fixing his reputation perhaps) later. But he'll probably just be glad to be back in your life. Note: You are a new user, so I'm accepting what you say at face value.

Well you want to sway the general public eventually in some way don't you? If anything they are more important than feminists whose methods we find wanting. The general public is the battlground. Facts are weapons used to seize portions of the battleground. And..... now I find my analogy breaking down, as we want the general public to sit still for long enough to use our facts.

I don't agree; Admitedly you'll never get some people to see the light no matter what you say, but, a sizeable majority wouldn't read it all the way through and would sit in the "undecided" column. While its true that our movement is about facts and not vitreol, it's a PR exercise to get people to aquaint themselves with those facts. Anyway, as I said, mark me as conflicted on this one.

I'm conflicted on this one, I get what he's trying to prove and he does so effectively, provided you make it to the end of the article and then have some familiarity with the problem it is highlighting. However, how many potential "converts" to our cause will be lost if they don't make it to the end of the article because they are too uncomfortable and believe its "genuine". One would be too many. You might say that that doesn't matter but on some level everything is a PR exercise. Perhaps an up…
