| 1 | I was a juror in a case where the prosecutor admitted that he prosecuted a man because he is a manthe defense attorney used all of her challenges on older people (for some reason I can't wrap my head around) It seems reasonable to believe that older people, raised in more sexist times, might walk into a trial with a mindset of "he should have kept out of trouble, he wouldn't be here unless he did something wrong". Sure, there are sexist young women too, but it's likely the attorney did her homework and found out that older people have a higher rate of prejudice. As you saw, the plan worked. | /r/MensRights | 16/07/22 06:32 PM |

Can someone ELI5 how and why you can be obligated to financially support another capable adult for life?“Patriarchy” is not a pet name. It kind of is. It’s the proper term for a real system that has oppressed people for thousands of years. Patriarchy accurately describes most of human history, where it means that a man is almost always the head of each family, and he holds the power and makes decisions within the family. It similarly means that the highest ranking male rules in each group of neighboring families, or town, or region. Women did not hold power over men.

It's not crazy, this is what happens when a man chooses to be solely financial responsible for his family. He made a mistake by choosing that when he doesn't have the income to make that happen, and she made a mistake by choosing it when her outcome is being middle aged with no savings or retirement and no work history, having to take whatever work she can find. | /r/MensRights | 16/08/21 09:41 AM |

She shouldn't have been a SAHM knowing it could end up this for her, he shouldn't have been married to a SAHM knowing it could end up with his wages garnished to help support her.

When he's making millions and she's making $35k it doesn't make sense for her to work full time and spend most of it to hire a nanny to look after the kids, just to add an insignificant tiny percentage to their total combined income.

Men mostly on the front lines, women mostly in the supporting roles where physical strength isn't relevant. The problem occurs when gender communists come along and demand a 50/50 split in every area, and when the people in charge are stupid enough to give in to those demands. | /r/MensRights | 26/07/21 12:42 AM |

The progressives think that gender roles are so important that if a boy doesn't fit into gender stereotypes very well then he might be a girl, and vice versa.

If biological relation isn't a reason to pay, and if not every child is entitled to two incomes supporting them, then what is the basis for insisting that it has to work that way after a child has been raped? | /r/MensRights | 21/02/21 05:12 PM |

There are many children who have no parents to support them, we could violate random people's rights and assign them the cost of paying for the kids to have a better life, but we don't do that.

They only see a group called "men", and if the group does something that hurts itself, then they just shouldn't have done that thing. They've lost the ability to see the difference between "I got myself into debt, and I'm unhappy about having to face the consequence of my actions" and "someone stole all of my property and I've lost everything".

But toxic masculinity can't be that term anymore, because the majority of people who use it are just like "lol men are toxic, am I right girls?"

The responsibility is his, and he doesn't get to pass it off to taxpayers.

Most fathers expect that they will be opted in by default, and want to be opted in. There would be guys who didn't know they had to opt in, and then would be denied custody of their children.

Can you imagine if it was the other way around?Male-bodied people are free to join female-only groups as long as they put on women's clothing and call themselves trans. And some women (with some valid reasons) complain about that. Simplying allowing cis men into sororities and taking away female-only spaces? A lot of women would be outraged and call it an attack on women's rights. But taking away male-only spaces is of course "empowering" and "progressive" and the very idea of male-only spaces is somehow evil and wrong. | /r/MensRights | 20/02/17 05:03 AM |

Second, we can assume by default that the preference of the fetus would be to get to be born and live a full life.

The first high heels were worn by men because they were useful - they were worn to give help a man on horseback to brace himself while shooting a bow and arrow. But after a while they were a fashion statement for royalty and other wealthy men. The peasants had to wear regular shoes so they could do all of their farm work, only a rich man could wear fancy shoes that are hard to walk in, because he didn't need … | /r/MensRights | 30/08/16 03:44 PM |

| 25 | Can anyone explain to me why the US Olympic team had 61% women instead of a 50/50 split?US women are more competitive on the world stage than the US men are. This is because most countries take men's sports seriously and fund it well, but many of them don't do the same for women's sports. The US women are facing an overall weaker field of opponents, so they qualify for more events and win more medals. This is actually something American feminists should be proud about.

There's been plenty of coverage of men's diving and gymnastics as well. The main reason women are getting more coverage is that they're winning more often than the men, due to many countries not having any serious female athletes while most of their male athletes are serious competitors.

Women's beach volleyball actually surpasses them (I wonder why). And they're not far behind in tennis.

It doesn't matter who can beat who, because pro athletes aren't paid on merit... they're paid on how much money they generate. Merit is a factor in that, but it's far from everything. The world's greatest bowler makes next to nothing compared to a third rate NFL pro. He's a world champion, but it doesn't matter - he doesn't generate revenue, he doesn't sell tickets.

Having body dysmorphia and feeling that your biological sex doesn't match your gender isn't "being born as the wrong gender". The way they present themselves is the expression of their gender, it's always a social construct.

Suppose it was a completely scientifically valid study and it conclusively proved that circumcision doesn't result in any loss of sensitivity at all. Well, so what? That still doesn't give anyone the right to do permanent body modification to another person without their consent.

The purpose of it in these instances is to create a level playing field for those who physically and biologically cannot possibly compete with the dominant group (typically men in their 20s and 30s). If not for segregation, there would be zero sports leagues for women, seniors, children, or the disabled. There would be no weight classes in boxing, eliminating anyone who isn't a natural 200+ pound fighter from having a chance in the sport. That situation sucks… | /r/MensRights | 06/04/16 07:16 PM |
| 1 | De-segregate SportsSo? Welterweight boxing only exists because heavyweights are excluded. High school soccer exists because non-high-schoolers are excluded. Wheelchair basketball leagues don't allow players who aren't in wheelchairs. What's your point? | /r/MensRights | 06/04/16 11:03 AM |
| 1 | De-segregate SportsNone of the things I mentioned are the problem. Stupid people being stupid are the problem. Some people with extremely high skill in things people don't care about (such as bowling) would like to make NFL money too. Doesn't mean we should get rid of bowling. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/16 10:45 AM |
