1	UK: Woman who starved her four-month-old baby to death escapes jail (but in another similar manslaughter case a guy was sentenced to eight years this month) I don't know enough about the UK justice system, but in the US, shaking your child to death and not feeding your child are considered different crimes in many places.	/r/MensRights	22/07/14 09:13 PM
1	[Story] My Story, I was a victim of a false rape allegation and I can't pass a polygraph because of it. I've had several employment polygraph tests. Stick to your guns. The examiner doesn't give a shit about your results, he's looking for your reaction to him. Be honest, be truthful, show the appropriate responses and you will pass. An inconclusive means that there was a disconnect between what you wrote, and what he perceived. Be open.	/r/MensRights	01/07/14 03:50 PM
1	Woman who assaulted minor for operating a multirotor in public, just getting a slap on the wrist. After seeing your last post of "The only good cop is a dead cop", I think I understand you a bit bette, tough guy.	/r/MensRights	22/06/14 04:22 PM
0	Woman who assaulted minor for operating a multirotor in public, just getting a slap on the wrist. Before we all get out the pitchforks, this is how all people with clean records are treated. I've spent years of my life poring over court cases, and this is a standard scenario for first offenses of a minor nature. It happens. Men and women are charged with domestic violence and assault, and the assault will be dropped and the dv plead down to minor disorderly (as a common example). This is not a pussy pass, and you would likely receive the same treatment in this jurisdiction.	/r/MensRights	22/06/14 07:47 AM
2	Local Dollar Tree feels discrimination is ok as long as its towards men I worked retail loss prevention in college... It's 50/50. Women get stopped more because they generally arent as dangerous as your average crackhead ghetto-thug who will stab you over a t shirt. With that said, the only time someone pulled a weapon on me was when a lady with a felony amount of clothing tried to pepper spray me.	/r/MensRights	15/06/14 07:55 PM
1	Feminist suggests that famous men should be denied the right of a jury trial when accused of sexual offences. Yes, under the color and word of law, it does. "Innocent until PROVEN guilty".	/r/MensRights	07/02/14 11:14 PM
5	Police make routine traffic stop and believe man has drugs in anus. The police brought the man to a hospital, where he was forced to undergo a rectal exam and colonoscopy without his consent. No drugs were found, no arrest was made, and the hospital billed the man for the medical procedures. Yes. If he is under arrest, they are liable for the bill. For example; In many scenarios, if a DUI suspect is injured in an accident, the police don't arrest him until he is discharged from the hospital, even if it is days later, as they would have been held accountable for the bill had he been under arrest at admittance (since he was their ward, under their control).	/r/MensRights	05/11/13 11:52 PM

No drugs were found, no arrest was made, and the hospital billed the man for the medical procedures. If he was under arrest, the department foots the bill. Period. That's how the law works.	/r/MensRights	05/11/13 11:49 PM
11	So alimony in Florida = slavery. Man has to pay 4k a mo/ FOR LIFE to ex wife who exploited the FL alimony system. He can't retire, he can't change jobs. It ends when his life does. (xpost from WTF) The US doesn't appear to have any desire to enter into this area of the law, nor does Spain. See here. However, IANAL, so perhaps someone else would care to interpret this a little better.	/r/MensRights	11/06/13 12:16 AM

6	study: when domestic violence is one-sided, in 70% of the cases, women were the perpetrators DV is mostly a socio-economic problem resulting from poor education, poverty, and a chronic inability to cope with emotions. The correct response always has to be better mental health funding. As a man who was mentally and physically abused, I'm not impartial, so my opinion is not consistent with most. My violent SO didn't physically injure me as much as she destroyed who I am, and it cost me many things... including my job, mental health, and a subsequent relationship. As I'm sure you've gather…	/r/MensRights	18/02/13 07:22 PM
3	study: when domestic violence is one-sided, in 70% of the cases, women were the perpetrators No, very liberal college town with a moderate population. East coast. The training I received was standardized, nothing relating to my department really. State requirements. They were applied equally to men and women. DV is a tricky and dangerous call, always, as people are rarely calm or in their right minds. Police are sometimes more "quick to act" for that reason, but that always involves separating the parties, or getting a little more "involved" than they should. That may be where your issu…	/r/MensRights	18/02/13 05:47 PM
7	study: when domestic violence is one-sided, in 70% of the cases, women were the perpetrators Here's how a DV situation was handled at my old department: Subject calls on significant other. Go to house. No signs of physical injury? Tell them to knock it off and go to bed. Signs of physical injury/story corroboration? Basically an arrest unless mitigating circumstances were present (other party lying, self-inflicted, old wounds, etc.) The party who did it will almost always confess to it, so it makes the arrest easier. There's no conspiracy that I ever saw. Situations were usually 50/50, …	/r/MensRights	18/02/13 05:29 PM
10	There is a $15 "Campus Women's Center Fee" appearing on my student account this semester... It matters in the sense that you're not directly contributing to an individual account... Or so I'm gather from his comment.	/r/MensRights	23/08/12 10:19 PM
8	Male childcare workers: "parents had highlighted in yellow on their child's enrolment form they wanted no male worker to go near their offspring" This profoundly bothers me. During my early elementary education, my most influential teachers were male. Out of the 15 teachers at my small school, only 2 were men. I was lucky enough to have both of them, and, with no father at home, they were my only means of having a strong, male, influence. It been decades since then, and it's only gotten worse in the public school system. I'm still in contact with both of those men, as are many of their students. To think that a policy like this would have…	/r/MensRights	18/08/12 04:33 AM
9	School gender achievement gap explained: woman teachers discriminate against boys In college, I took a creative writing class, taught by an amazing professor, who happened to be a Pulitzer Prize winning author. He was kind, helpful, and as a group, we each crafted amazing short stories. I was awarded an A for a story. Fast forward a year, and I was in a creative writing class taught by a grad student. I was averaging a 'D'. I resolved to drop the class, but not before turning in my 'A' story as an experiment.... Her grade for the SAME story? A 'D+'. Apparently she knew better…	/r/MensRights	17/02/12 05:56 AM
3	Had to register for the draft to get same educational opportunities as women... It's to garner information relevant to your family's 'expected financial contribution'. A degree means higher pay, and thus less aid.	/r/MensRights	09/03/11 04:43 AM
3	So I went to get my Carry Concealed Weapons Permit class done today. . . It's called the Castle Doctrine. Ohio has this, and if someone enters your property illegally you have the right to dispatch them with deadly force.	/r/MensRights	21/02/11 04:30 AM
2	UNBELIEVABLE. In January, a young Tunesian man named Mohamed Bouazizi killed himself in protest over a lack of jobs. Very soon after, his sacrifice snowballed into full-force waves of democratic revolution all over the Arab world. Let no one question whether one man can make a difference. So... Suicide is the answer?	/r/MensRights	20/02/11 11:16 PM
10	National Geographic Bee judge "believes the bee violates federal laws on gender equity because a large majority of the state winners are boys" - I guess boys can't have anything good in their lives, huh? The elderly.	/r/MensRights	03/02/11 03:12 AM
15	National Geographic Bee judge "believes the bee violates federal laws on gender equity because a large majority of the state winners are boys" - I guess boys can't have anything good in their lives, huh? Having won a local Nat Geo Geography Bee in Junior High, I can honestly state that unless women aren't familiar with questions like "Name a renewable energy source", then there is no gender bias.	/r/MensRights	02/02/11 04:25 PM
2	Wikipedia Ponders Its Gender-Skewed Contributions - NYTimes.com Artificially boosting a demographic for the sake of simply boosting a demographic can only have a severely detrimental effect. Wikipedia works. It's efficient. Going into the site and trying to rewire it will only defeat the status quo and destroy any semblance of efficiency or quality.	/r/MensRights	01/02/11 03:01 AM
13	Wikipedia Ponders Its Gender-Skewed Contributions - NYTimes.com "...but she is running up against the traditions of the computer world and an obsessive fact-loving realm that is dominated by men and, some say, uncomfortable for women." The author is apparently arguing that women inherently find the truth uncomfortable. What a terrible article. Why do you even need to have a goal for women contributors? Facts are facts, it doesn't matter who writes them down. The simple idea that they care who writes the facts is enough to show a serious amount of bias.	/r/MensRights	31/01/11 04:16 PM
4	I'm a male masculinist who has written on and researched men's rights extensively, and I feel unwelcome here. One of my college advisors was very gracious man who passed along a very VERY important life lesson to me once when I became a bit full of myself... "Just because you're educated, is doesn't mean you know shit." Ergo, your passive speech and tones of entitlement are obnoxious, and smack of the conditioned 'wimp' male that society is trying to force us all to become... Maybe you aren't getting along with people because you're the very thing that this subreddit is trying to get rid of? If you're t…	/r/MensRights	19/12/10 09:13 PM
