1	Thanks, UN. They might have taken an interesting focus this year, but the normal hygine issues are the basis for the day. It started in 2001. As I say, the estimate is that 315,000 children die each year from diseases caused by lack of adequate sanitation.	/r/MensRights	09/03/17 07:25 PM
4	Thanks, UN. The UN doesn't recognise International Men's Day because there hasn't been anyone pushing it. You can't blame women's groups for advocating women, or the UN for only listening to actual requests. If we want International Men's Day to be a big thing the onus is on men to push for it. Not anyone else.	/r/MensRights	08/03/17 08:44 PM
12	Thanks, UN. International Men's Day isn't an official UN Day and as far as timelines go they developed fairly concurrently. A small number of countries celebrated it (Men's) in the early 90s but then it most lapsed until late in the 2000s, while Toilet Day started 2001. Pretty easy to give them the benefit of the doubt about being a coincidence. And even if it is some stupid joke by SJWs, surely we can just man up and own it, because it really is an important day.	/r/MensRights	08/03/17 08:20 PM
30	Thanks, UN. That would make a mockery of World Toilet Day which is meant to highlight a really important and overlooked issue in the world. This is a huge cause of death and disease. 2.4 billion people don't have access to a toilet and 315,000 children die every year because of illness associated with lack of sanitation. and I think the UN want people to be aware of the issue and trying to fix it a lot more than they care about making some petty little reference.	/r/MensRights	08/03/17 07:30 PM
2	How the media reports female child rapists. Many jurisdictions have a defence to sex with a minor if the offender made a reasonable mistake as to their age. So where I live there was an infamous case of a couple who prostituted out their 12 year old daughter, but because their ad said she was 18, and the place where the sex happened was quite dark, and supposedly she was 'mature looking', the police weren't able to prosecute the vast majority of people they identified as having sex with her. Obviously the parents went to jail for a pretty…	/r/MensRights	18/01/17 09:14 PM
1	"My son's life is not worth food stamps" - father furious after the woman who killed his son avoids jail despite a man receiving 5 years in prison for stealing food stamps that same day Sometimes cases with weird sentences get posted and if you track them down you find that the defendant has a huge number of priors. That would be the most obvious reason for the sentence to me.	/r/MensRights	09/01/16 03:37 AM

2	Man and woman guilty of same criminal offense, reported on same news website, bud dramatically different headlines. My argument isn't against the fairness of the sentencing or the treatment of men vs women by the courts. I am well aware of those differences. All I am saying is that there are potentially innocent reasons for the different headlines.	/r/MensRights	18/06/15 09:44 AM
0	Man and woman guilty of same criminal offense, reported on same news website, bud dramatically different headlines. I'm not saying there is or isn't a general bias. I'm saying that in this instance there are reasons why their might not be bias. I haven't read all the material associated with it, which is why I was clear in my previous statement that I wasn't being definitive. But what I will say is that groups that feel persecuted, whether they're men's groups or feminist groups or ethnic groups: are very good at confirmation bias. You feel persecuted so you go out of your way to construct a deeper meaning in…	/r/MensRights	18/06/15 09:08 AM
4	Man and woman guilty of same criminal offense, reported on same news website, bud dramatically different headlines. If you want a serious answer there's a few obvious non conspiracy reasons why the headlines might be different. You can't just repeat the same headline every time you have a similar news story. Rape and "child sex" are different crimes in most jurisdictions. Even though the word 'consent' gets used multiple times in legislation it has different meanings in different contexts. The mere fact that a child is under the age of consent doesn't mean that having sex with a child is fits the technically …	/r/MensRights	18/06/15 03:47 AM
