Don't forget that discrimination based on gender is evaluated under an intermediate scrutiny standard, instead of a strict scrutiny standard like race. So it may not be such a clear violation. At least under the constitution. I don't know about title 9 specifically.

Thanks for pointing that out. It's one of my most common grammatical errors. I fixed it.

It was in Idaho until 2010 when the crazy law was finally changed.

No I really don't. I see that I'm being down voted like crazy, but don't see why. It seems to me that the mensrights movement is just trying to mimic the feminist movement. I think that is a mistake. Nothing wrong with gender roles, they make for a healthy and happy society if done right.

I think women should not only be exempt from signing up for selective service, they should be forbidden from joining the active military at all. I think it is a useful logical tactic to show feminists the error of their ways, by showing them the logical conclusion of their relentless drive towards "equality." However, we should not buy into their BS, by actually following through with their madness.

You are the mod for /r/femism AND /r/mensrights? Mind-boggling.

Go over to mensrightslaw, I have a thread there that I started for ongoing questions. Or, if you want to put the question into the form of your own thread on mensrightslaw, then thats cool too. Mensrightslaw is a reddit that kloo2yoo and I started when I began participating on the mensrights reddit.

I agree with everyone else, that guy deserved to be mocked. Also, this guy has horrible judgment in the rhetoric he chooses to use. I would hate to be his client and have him use that rhetoric when arguing my case.

I find some of her arguments absurd. "But this doesn’t mean that kids without dads don’t deserve to be born. And it doesn’t mean that women who love other women and women who can’t find a man – or for some reason don’t want a man – don’t deserve to have kids." As if anyone would make such a strawman argument. And then there is this one. "Did she think some people might see her as selfish for putting her own needs to be a mum before the needs of her child to have both a mum and dad? But as she se…

Number 10 in that list finds its way into several of the subsequent results. I'm not on board with that issue. I see no problem with male gender roles, just as I see no problem with female gender roles. However, I'm on board with the remaining issues, especially the unfair treatment of men in the legal system, and the assumption that most men are pedophiles and rapists. This belief is more prevalent that most people want to admit.

While I think he was overly dismissive of the Mens Rights movement, I think there is some value in what he has to say. Sometimes it is better to take the path of least resistance in these matters. I've seen one or two submissions on /mensrights that are a little too whiney. A little too "poor me." However, when it comes to the legal system, and men getting the short end of the stick, that is inexcusable. It's one thing for a specific man to choose to take the hit for his wife, spouse, girlfriend…

I am not a Canadian lawyer, I am Idahoan lawyer, but going for 100% and not playing nice is not always in your best interests. Not all judges are idiots. I know that in Idaho, the preference is for shared custody, and if one party is asking for sole custody, and the other is asking for shared custody, the judge will favor the party who is playing nice, and distrust the party who is playing dirty. That's just been my experience. Disclaimer: I'm a criminal defense attorney, not a family law attorn…

Being new to reddit, I have to ask a stupid question. How do we know if we are linking to the top of the page rather than the comment section?

It also deters people from falsely accusing people of a crime, which also is a crime, sometimes a worse crime.
/r/MensRights26/02/11 06:49 PM

Obviously there would be an intent element to the crime. The accuser would need to know that what she was saying was a lie. The burden of proof would be the same as for any crime, beyond a reasonable doubt. I do not think it would deter crime reporting, you would reserve the crime only for those cases where it is clear that the person knew the accused was innocent.

I don't know, imagine the next girl he asks on a date. Girl tells friend, friend says "isn't he the guy that was accused of rape"; girl says "yeah but the case was dismissed"; friend gives her funny look. I imagine it can't help him any. The case is of course worse when you are accused of some sort of child molestation. I can tell you for one that I would never let someone who was accused of child molestation babysit my kids, even if it was determined that he was falsely accused.

I've always thought that anyone who falsely accuses another person of a crime should face the same punishment that person would have gotten if convicted. That man's reputation is now tarnished. Even though it sounds like she spilled her guts, people are always going to wonder whether he really is a rapist or not. He has lost all trust with those know him. Not to mention, when he was first arrested I wouldn't be surprised if he lost his job, lost his house, lost his car, etc. etc. Think about wha…

niete has a point. Rape has become synonymous with sexual assault, which in a way has depreciated the seriousness of rape.

He was convicted. The judge was only pointing out that the circumstances should be considered for mitigation of the sentence.

I think what he means is, put your questions in the comment box above, rather than replying to a current comment. That way all the comment/questions stay at the top level, rather than being staggered.

Wow! I have never heard a judge talk like that, and I'm a criminal defense attorney! Bravo!

Your friend's position is palpably absurd. I don't know where you would find the statistics for that. Go to any local jail and ask them how many women are housed in the jail and how many men are housed there. There is going to be a huge disparity not matter where you go. Gender bias is not the single factor contributing to the disparity, but it most certainly is a significant contributing factor. As a defense attorney, my professional experience has been, if the man is not bleeding from the eyes…

What exactly does he think the consequence is going to be if the word "actual" is added to the word innocent? Does he think the system is going to implode if he calls this man actually innocent, instead of just plainly innocent? Obviously someone knows what "actual innocence" means, otherwise they wouldn't make it a condition for compensation.

If he wasn't a criminal before, he surely is going to be one now. Imagine what you would want to do to after being wrongfully accused and locked up for 18 years before they let you out, and then after they have promised you that you will be compensated for the injustice, the government screws you again. He must REALLY want to kill someone now.

Just a small correction. My name is spelled wrong in the content portion of this post. My name is spelled Craig.

You are right, there is an inherent bias against men built into the system, and this can most clearly be seen in the domestic violence courts. However, I have seen women suffer injustice as well in the legal system.

As David Hume says, you cannot derive an "ought" from an "is". Whether attorneys in fact "are" defenders of human liberties does not settle the issue of whether they "ought" to be. I am of the position that they "ought" to be.

There is no maximum quantity of people that the system will prosecute. It will eat up and spit out as many people as you shove through it. Hence the push for smaller government. A small system is good because it has to focus only on those who are clearly guilty.

No, because nearly all of them have to be accredited by the ABA. The curriculum has to pass their muster. I joke with people when they ask me what I have my degree in, and I tell them that I have a degree in Gender, Racial, and Sexual Orientation relations. I'm only half joking though, I was amazed at the gymnastics that were used in our textbooks to fit those issues into every single topic. I have heard that California accepts legal educations that are not accredited by the ABA, but of course I…

The ABA has nothing to do with the license that I now hold. That is granted to me by the Idaho State Bar, which is a separate and distinct entity from the ABA. The Supreme Court has held that the state bars that issue licenses, and that consequently a lawyer has no choice but to belong to it, cannot be political. The ABA does not issue licenses to practice, and so they are allowed to be political, and are very much so.

By the way, I think this article ties in nicely with the article I just submitted on unfair tactics that domestic violence prosecutors use. It's misinformation like the myths exposed by this report that feed the justification for state's unethical prosecutions.
/r/MensRights16/02/11 09:40 PM

I am glad that there are people willing to step up and challenge the ABA for what they are. I could not get an education in law unless I went through one of their accredited law schools. Or in other words, I had to pay money to support this corrupt organization, just so I could become a lawyer. They now send my endless flyers trying to get me to join their club. Needless to say, it finds its way to the trash the moment it it hits my desk.

The problem I see with your relationships is the problem I see with all relationships in modern day america, and that is judging the quality of the relationship through the lenses of "justice" or "equality." Justice and equality are concepts by which we judge a society, or a person who has been accused of a crime, or other such similar issues, but not a relationship. The moment we ask ourself, is it fair that I have to do the dishes, while my spouse goes out and works. Or is it fair that I have …

I'm licensed to practice in state and federal court. The majority of my practice is in Idaho State Court. I also practice almost exclusively as a criminal defense attorney. A great deal of Idaho state penal law is similar to other state's laws.

I would love to do an AMA/AMAA. I've never done one, but I guess its pretty self explanatory. How much time would you need? When you say "here" do you mean at that link introducing me? I'm MST, so the time change is only off by an hour.

Sorry I misread your reply. Am I "that" lawyer, rather than am I "a" lawyer. With an attorney misreading such simple language, it makes you wonder if I am "that" lawyer. :)

As an attorney I've personally seen how court's determine fault. Fault coincidentally always falls on the man, along with alimony and child support. In Idaho we don't call it Alimony, we call it "Spousal Maintenance."

Yes, I am a criminal defense lawyer in Boise, Idaho. This article is from my blog that is on my official website. I've found that this MensRights section of Reddit is most inline with my legal theories and philosophy.
