| 14 | Jian Ghomeshi prosecution starts to fall apart. Yet another high profile sexual assault case is looking shaky.For those of you who aren't Canadian... Marie Henein is likely the highest profile criminal defense lawyer in the country. Ghomeshi is likely going to dish out over a half million just in trial costs. She was probably giddy when she saw how easy the cross examination was going to be for her. If all there is for Marie is just 1 credible witness left standing, I'm skeptical that Marie won't be able to successfully drape the unreliability of the other defendants over the whole case. Sex crimes are … | /r/MensRights | 06/02/16 09:51 AM |

No presented evidence so-far shows the FPH sub uniquely violating any rules, unless 90% of subreddits are also in violation. Meanwhile, SRS permits non-np links, which is an ACTION that has been used to partly justify FPH's ban.

The problem is that the last thing MRAs and the MR sub needs is an association with TRP because TRP, like MRs, has been thoroughly slandered by the media, justifiably so or not. We have enough trouble trying to keep the MRs image clean, and so we'd rather not make the job even more difficult.

| 1 | Man killed by officer while fleeing; brother suspects he "believed [his brother] fled from police" because "he owed child support."Yea... completely wrong.

| 1 | Man killed by officer while fleeing; brother suspects he "believed [his brother] fled from police" because "he owed child support."No. He was already running away with his back turned when the officer took his first shot. That is meaningless. Here, I'll take an extreme example. Imagine a suspect knifes the officer and ran away. His back was turned and the officer took his first shot. The shooting was justified. The circumstances leading up to the shooting matter. A fleeing suspect can be shot in the back, that fact is utterly meaningless on its own. | /r/MensRights | 09/04/15 03:14 PM |

| 0 | Man killed by officer while fleeing; brother suspects he "believed [his brother] fled from police" because "he owed child support."If there is reasonable doubt that the police officer, from their own perspective, didn't have reasonable grounds to believe the suspect had committed a sufficiently severe enough felony, like assaulting a police officer to a sufficient degree or verbalizing a deadly threat, then he won't be convicted for murder. From what little we can see and hear in the video, with regards to what led up to the officer to decide to use lethal force, I can think up all sorts of scenarios that would give the off… | /r/MensRights | 08/04/15 07:59 AM |
| 2 | Has anyone legitimately used or heard someone use the excuse " I raped her because her clothes provoked me"?K, on second thought, I think that because the official made it an absolute, it crossed the line into victim blaming because it leaves no room to actually assign responsibility to anyone else (like the assailant). The key thing would be to mention "risk" or "reducing risk" in some manner, but sometimes the context of a statement does provide that kind of implication if a statement, on its own, looks damning. I'll concede that the official was probably in the realm of victim blaming. I probably g… | /r/MensRights | 09/03/15 05:37 PM |
| 1 | Has anyone legitimately used or heard someone use the excuse " I raped her because her clothes provoked me"?If people want their own cute set of rules for how we talk about managing risk, regarding sex crimes (not possible with being a "victim blamer" by your criminally broad definition of the term), separate from every other possible way one can be victimized or harmed, then have at it. The bottom line is that the official never said victims were partly or completely responsible for their own victimization, nor said they deserved it. You walk up to any random person on the street, or even read the de… | /r/MensRights | 09/03/15 05:18 PM |
| 6 | Has anyone legitimately used or heard someone use the excuse " I raped her because her clothes provoked me"?There is a difference between telling someone they deserved victimization, and telling them how to manage risk. It isn't a subtle difference either. Of course I wouldn't care about the distinction if victim blaming wasn't a negative term, but it is, and so I oppose including risk management within the concept of victim blaming. | /r/MensRights | 09/03/15 04:59 PM |
| 0 | Has anyone legitimately used or heard someone use the excuse " I raped her because her clothes provoked me"?That quote is pretty fucking harmless. If I leave my door unlocked and I get robbed, people can tell me I should lock the door to avoid being robbed. I suppose the officer could have been a bit more nuanced in their statement by saying "reducing the odds", and not make an absolute, but the reaction to the statement is simply the usual shit of confusing victim blaming with risk management. Not once does the officer say the victim DESERVES to be victimized, which is the essence of victim blaming. | /r/MensRights | 09/03/15 04:48 PM |

Has There Ever Been A Counter-Argument To ThisIt was purely about claiming "__% of rapists are women" when it should be about what victims claimed who they were perpetrated by during a particular year. Technically, a rapist could account for multiple crimes, and yearly perpetration rates could fluctuate. While the serial offenders do undermine the incorrect quoted statement earlier, the lifetime rate critique is on very shaky ground. There is no reason why victimization by women rates should fluctuate so wildly, nevertheless, who cares? ~40… | /r/MensRights | 01/03/15 10:24 PM |
| 4 | The CDC Said 40% Of Rapist Aren't Womam. Has There Ever Been A Counter-Argument To ThisTechnicality. The CDC is really reaching in disproving the observation of those who say "40% of rapists are women" by saying that "40% of rapes are perpetrated by women during the last year". The CDC is being accurate, but it is a strawman argument against those who don't make the mistake of the former statement. There is a difference. The impact of either statement is the same, but they are technically different figures. | /r/MensRights | 01/03/15 09:45 PM |

To be honest it is better to simply say that 85% are unknown, but that doesn't sound interesting. The way I see it is that the higher standard for conviction is offset by the fact that the entire system is built around trying to get a conviction.

| 1 | Why does the myth that women rarely lie about rape persist?A misunderstanding of statistics. Taking the most conservative range of 2-8% prevalence of false rape accusations sounds small to people. Personally, the percentage doesn't mean shit to me because every accused is innocent until proven guilty and every case is independent of eachother.

A great deal of those categorized as false were confessions from the accuser, which is certainly very strong evidence that maliciousness took place. For the police to even take the step of saying the accuser is lying is to take a big step in my opinion, and so I do not think some people's interpretation of "substantial evidence" will do the figure justi… | /r/MensRights | 19/12/14 08:34 PM |

They took that number and divided it by the pre-disaster population of those demographics. They then compared it to the rate for men to come up with 14x.

The reason why Veronica's mother ceased contact during the adoption process is because she didn't want a family with the father, wed or unwed. She says he didn't want to provide support, meaning the father was not ok with paying child support in an unwed scenario. So rather than force him to pay child support, which she would have been legally permitted to do, she would rather adopt the child out s… | /r/MensRights | 14/03/13 11:22 PM |

The reality is that the police are only going to forward investigations in the middle group that they think a charge of perverting justice, or wasting time, could be made.

| 1 | "Retrospective DNA testing of physical evidence in [sexual assault] cases where there was a conviction ... is supportive of exoneration in between 8 and 15 percent of convictions." WRONG!!! Actual fDNA evidence itself is not conclusive evidence that rape occurred. Plenty of innocent people were not later exonerated because their DNA matched. Furthermore, the presence of DNA testing in the modern courtroom might have increased the wrongful conviction rate because it places the defendant at the scene. Cases are built around the testimony of the victim, and the DNA is used to place the defendant with the victim or at the scene. | /r/MensRights | 13/03/13 01:55 AM |

Mental illness continues to be neglected in the on-going debate about these shootings.

She was black out drunk, yet remembers every detail. I stopped reading at that point. The only thing I find ridiculous about this linked comment, given the context, is that it's only conceivable that he was the rapist. I guess that makes sense if we assume the impossible premise that she was black out drunk and knew the guy's intentions were malicious. Technically, since they were both drunk, they were both raped, by definition. | /r/MensRights | 28/01/12 12:05 AM |

The studies have had to be tailored in such a way to come up with massive rape rates for women, and the smallest rate for men. How does this study do it?

Natural disparities, like men being more physically active, are eliminated and that will impact men negatively. I say this without an ounce of credibility but men being more physically active isn't just a choice, but a need...
