Same article, only not Daily Mail The girl has breached her 9pm-7am curfew three times. She is due before Preston Crown Court next month. She is jointly charged with two other men with four counts of robbery, attempted robbery, receiving stolen goods and having a bladed article in Hancock Street, Blackburn, on February 28. The robbers made off with £1 and a school blazer in one incident and a Blackberry smartphone in another. The Lancashire Telegraph understands that the girl is not said by poli…

It would make sense for an AG to go through the constable, not a process server. Either way, he's playing the same role, and has to adhere to similar rules, I would think. I meant constable, and not comptroller, in my previous post. Sorry about that. Doesn't matter who is trying to serve you, though. Serving notices is serving notices. As far as I understand, the only one who can hold you "contempt of court" would be the "court", meaning a judge. Good luck, though.

Nope. He can't hold you in contempt for not accepting service, and I'd say he's definitely overstepping his authority. That said, lying isn't against the law; he's just an asshole. He is acting as a process server. His role is to serve you the papers however he can, and that's it. It probably wouldn't go anywhere, but if you'd like to make a complaint about him, you can do so here. He's tried three times, so he probably won't make another attempt, unless you're in Houston, where the requirement …

Although actually, 'feminism' is a nice catch-all way to blame women without the need to call them out directly (which of course most men will not do). Beautiful trolling.

I was thinking the same thing. There's no context. Shitty economy has been on the forefront of lots of peoples' minds, lately. I know I projected I'd be making more than I am, right now. Anyway, if the conversation consisted of no more context than what was relayed, I would suggest just asking what was meant. And, since this is a marriage, maybe work on communication.

Hire a female private investigator to take the pics. I guarantee the cops will still get called, but they're used to it. Don't let the camera stop rolling, just because the cops are there, either. Record those conversations as well. If they're lodging complaints about possible pedos, then why are they continuing to allow those kids to be stuck out there unsupervised? Sounds like a good reason to change the policy,

Why would you not agree to mediation? These agreements are not legally binding, unless it goes to court. And the outcomes for both parties is usually a lot better than it is going to court. Isn't it better to have a win/win with both people making compromises, than a win/lose where someone gets fucked?

Trying to continue a discussion when the discussion has escalated to such an extreme (especially when there's this much irrationality involved) is pretty much impossible. We don't know that they didn't discuss this, in private, with the sexist culprits. If they haven't, they definitely SHOULD. We also don't know that there aren't plans to readdress, once people have calmed down. Shaming language should be called out on for the people who used it. 100% agree with that.

Like a meeting about picking up trash around the office and making sure the place is hygenic...if the meeting revolved around how women should do that since they are supposed to clean...well, that would get someone fired for saying something during a meeting and if the entire meeting revolved around that line of thinking then there would be a hostile work environment lawsuit.

If the company didn't change their fire evacuation procedure that was in place during the fire drills, then that's still the policy, and the company isn't doing anything sexist. So long as their policies are gender-neutral, then I'd say the company hasn't done anything wrong. The OP can file a complaint against the outspoken employees (specific women, and older men), and the company can decide how to deal with them from there (written warning, termination, etc), and I think that would be fair.

What could the company have done differently? When they found out there was a problem, they had a meeting to discuss it. When the meeting turned hostile, they ended the meeting. Since they had fire drills in the past, I have to guess they had an exit procedure in place, and that some people freaked out, and didn't follow that procedure. What did the company do wrong that merits litigation?

Hmmm....I hadn't heard that anywhere, but it could definitely be true. If the changes have already gone into effect, it's still not the same exact price, though it could have (as you said) reduced the premium difference. I just pulled up a health insurance quote, from Aetna (first company name to pop into my head) and did a comparison, and there was only a $27/month difference (just looking at the first couple that show up - $129/female, and $102/male), which is closer than I remember it being, …

Is this a new thing? Womens' insurance has always cost more, as far as I knew. I don't think I've done a comparison in about a year, but last I looked, it was substantially more for women. And people with families (ie; children) were subsidized significantly. Worst insurance seeker you could be is a single woman.

When a man and a woman vie for custody in the U.S. it is the woman who wins nine times out of ten. I'd like to see a study on how often men actually fight for custody, though. Just because women get custody 90% of the time doesn't mean the man even asked for it. There's lots of factors that might prevent someone from wanting to go through that legal battle. Money, living distance, not wanting to disrupt the kid(s)' routines, not wanting to go through the emotional bullshit of a court battle, not…

If we're talking internationally, it's not the same. I recall you're NZ. US companies tend to think if something is mandatory, they can charge whatever the fuck they want. So, the price wouldn't plummet here. Just charge more to insurance, then more to people, specifically. Assuming we have insurance.

However, one of the officers said he had personally seen Milligan recently and had heard of other officers who had come in contact with her. I'm betting she's one of the mentally ill homeless women that hang out downtown. They see her often enough to recognize her, and that's near where the police dept is, so....

Whenever the subject of men marrying comes up, the consensus both in writing and upvotes is to not even consider it. Now, the risks are much less for a woman, but I don't see discouraging anybody from marrying, especially at so young an age, as being objectionable. This is exactly what I was going to say. Atomic's tone was fucking rude, but the sentiment isn't any different than the "only an idiot would get married, nowadays" that is common on this subreddit.

If you're close enough to a woman to fuck her, you're close enough to see if she's wearing a lot of make-up (make-up can only cover up a limited amount of ugly), wearing high heels, the bra usually comes off, etc. Pretty easy to figure out before your dick enters her body.

If it ends the legal parent-child relationship, why would that not cover financial obligations?

They also check for side effects, and to see if any health factors have changed, so you basically go through a physical, every year. Also, Plan B doesn't abort a pregnancy. Sperm can take up to three days to implant into an egg. Plan B prevents this, but does not terminate an existing pregnancy.

Birth control for women is prescription only, and it probably would be for men, too, so I don't know about combo packs. But, a male BCP would have the added benefit of getting men to the doctor more regularly, which would lead to more funding for men's health, and clinics. This may lead to catching certain diseases and cancers earlier, too, so it might help increase the average lifespan of men. Sounds like nothing but benefits, assuming it's safe, with few side effects.

This is true, and to expand on this, historically, with men less involved, they were less able to see the signs of abuse. I believe that if a father noticed his child was being ill-treated by its mother, he would call her out on it, and find a way to protect the child.

It appears common law "divorces" are required, here. Basically, you can claim common law marriage by living together, referring to the other as a spouse, and claiming that you're married to this person on a document (insurance/taxes/contract).

There should be restrictions placed on the activities a mother can do that would place her foetus in danger. How would this be monitored?

The issue is that she's criminally responsible, under the law, but (possibly) to a lesser degree. Legally, she'd merely be an accessory.

I actually thought you were going to make a misogynistic comment to try to fit me into some stereotype, because that you thought I was trying to fit you into one. I mean, you've kind of been "well, …

Are any of the people you're referring to, leaders or a part of the top leadership of the feminist movement? If you cannot answer "yes," then explain how peons within a social group reflect the ideology of a group over the leaders with the power. Because there's a lot more peons than leaders. The majority can hold a different view than extremists. It would be bewildering if they do, it would be no different than a Muslim Terrorist publicly stating, "well I agree with the idea, but I don't want t…

Men (gov't entities completely comprised of men) have banned vibrators, in the past, though. My state only overturned that law within the past couple of years. And how does porn reduce a woman's sexual value? I've seen some that dehumanizes the actress, but surely men can differentiate real from fantasy. How does a woman having a job reduce the man's sexual power? I really have no idea on that one.

As a man and uncle, I demand that female passengers also be banned from sitting next to children they don't know. I wouldn't want my relatives to be sexually assaulted by women they don't know.

Hell, I'd like to be exempt from sitting next to my own niece and nephew, most of the time!

I don't have much of an answer beyond the burden of proof being on the alleged victim. How can you prove the other knew you didn't have the capacity to consent, if they weren't coherent, either? Or, if you weren't coherent enough to know the details? It just strikes me as extremely difficult to prove. It's a crap answer, since the accused is having their reputation smeared, regardless of guilt or innocence. Even when/if the law assumes innocence, society usually assumes guilt (unless the accused…

The media, the laws, and society in general are heavily biased. Men can penetrate. Women would need props to penetrate. Plus, as we've already seen on the original post, men are told to "get over it", or are accused of lying, or emasculated if they admit to rape. Very sad. As for both people blacking out, rape is defined as: §43. Simple rape A.

Well, unless the girl called it rape to save face with her parents, or the law changed, the 15 year old boy would not be found guilty of statutory rape under Washington state's laws. He may have been socially labeled as a sex offender, though. As in, that was the rumor around town, or something. Who knows. Oh, okay. I can see how the term might seem like it's minimizing the act of rape, by implying it's a gray area. Just from the little I've read about it, I think "gray rape" is kind of a pointl…

If a guy and girl have consensual sex when inebriated and the guy is more drunk, is the woman technically raping the man? If she knew, or should have known he didn't have the capacity to consent, then, yes, she would be guilty of rape. Proving it would be tricky, depending on the circumstances. Also had a friend who went to school with a guy labeled as a sex offender because he had (consensual) sex with his girlfriend when they were both 15. What state was that?

Finally, she started to rub against me and I clearly told her, many times, to stop. "Stop" is equal to "no" when it comes to consent (unless there's some kink going on, and there's a safe word). Your definition of rape is exactly correct, but if he told her to stop, then she should've stopped. He didn't give consent, and this is rape, by the definition.

I buy it. I know a man who was raped almost exactly like this, and got approximately the same amount of support by his "friends". He didn't call it rape, but he described it to me, and that's most definitely what I called it. He stayed with her for awhile, because he thought, since they'd already had intercourse, he should go ahead and try to make a go toward marriage. She was batshit crazy, of course, so it didn't happen. He's not religious, now, but still won't sleep with someone unless he thi…

To a lot of people, personality is a huge part of attraction. So, if I think person A is an asshole/bitch, their aesthetics aren't going to matter, because they won't be attractive to me. If I think person B is a wonderful person, and extremely compatible with me, then I'm going to find them more attractive, the more I like them. It's the same way for a lot of people I've talked to, as well.

Actually, if used properly, this law could help prevent some cases of physical violence. Between my parents, my mother was by far the worst emotional abuser.

Yes, he should have been taught appropriateness. Young kids don't have a full sense of boundaries that adults have. So, treating them like tiny adults is inappropriate.

Personally, I don't think it's intentional. At least not usually. I think that a lot of people have control issues. From what I've read from people who have children (I don't, so I can't say with any certainty), babies are little anxiety generators from the second they pop out (often before). You start having this irrational fear that you're going to break them, or hurt them, or not do the right thing when they get sick. I'm sure that anxiety plays into women undermining the fathers (a la "ur do…

That sounds a little bit closed-minded, in my honest opinion. That's possible. I'm not a robot. I am human, and, like other humans, there's an emotional element to some of my stances/opinions. Part of my nature is to be protective of those who can't (or don't) protect themselves. Always has been, even as a child, myself. Others may be able to be more objective about this than I, but more emotional on other issues. People vary.

Well, actually, I'd say it's the media, and their fear-mongering that created this fear. "Is your daycare ABUSING YOUR CHILD?!?!?!?...More at 11." It ups ratings, they offer solutions like nanny cams, and background checks, and I have no doubt that the companies offering these solutions throw money in return for the publicity.

Possession of stolen property doesn't usually bring harm to someone. I'd say this is an appropriate charge in some cases, but not all. They probably have it on the books so that they can take someone into custody for questioning when it does bring harm to someone (armed robbery, assault, whatever). I can only guess. Kiddie porn, however, is harmful every time. A child is being abused to make it. I'm just going to say we should agree to disagree on this, because I'm a little bewildered that I'm a…

Why should the possession be illegal, but for the presumption that its possession implies that the possessor is sick in the head? It could also imply that the possessor knows the perpetrator. Or, at least lead to where the film originated. Child porn comes into existence from a child getting abused. The goal is to stop the abuse/rape. That's why it's illegal.

mostly-female teacher body. That's one thing with which I'm kind of concerned. There definitely needs to be more male teachers, but the problem is that whenever a male wants to be near children, the "molester paranoia" comes out. It's really sad.

Good for her! It's hard to watch an abusive mother do all she can to destroy your father. Especially, as a child, when you're the reason child support is involved.

I think part of the problem with your (rather crass) suggestion is that most men don't know this sort of thing can happen until it happens to someone they know, or to themselves, and no one ever thinks their (potential?) wives are going to act like this, at the beginning.
