| – | When Her "No" Means "Yes"Here is a more reliable resource. Look at page 140 of this research and the female responses to the questionnaire: https://books.google.com.au/books?isbn=0786484179 | /r/MensRights | 03/11/15 06:21 AM |
| 1 | When Her "No" Means "Yes"| "Even if she means yes when she says no, don't accept the risk and give into the notion that we as men have to prod and prod just for a strait answer, all at great risk to ourselves. Keep your dignity". That is exactly the advice I have given elsewhere. However I still think we should look at all the evidence even though we know how we should behave. There are people in jail today due to the whim's of women. That gives these issues some degree of importance. Anyway I am up-voting your post. | /r/MensRights | 03/11/15 06:08 AM |

| 1 | When Her "No" Means "Yes"Congratulations. You managed to miss the point. The point being that women often say no to good looking guys when they really just want them to try harder. No women wants to seem cheap. Women are playing a major part in the lack of communication that this results in. It is a pesky issue for them but they are not fully justified to throw all the undesirables in jail due to their own failures, although it certainly solves the problem for them.

| – | When Her "No" Means "Yes"A random women being raped outside her apartment or the apartment of her boyfriend is a different matter than when it happens inside. If the man was not supposed to pass on his genes then why did she invite him into her apartment or why did she go to his apartment or why did she marry him and have his children? Why do women resort to token objection? To not seem cheap. It does not always mean they don't want sex. | /r/MensRights | 03/11/15 05:49 AM |
| – | When Her "No" Means "Yes"This is the expected response of someone that just read the title and is swept up by today's politics and rhetoric - i.e. lacks critical thinking. | /r/MensRights | 03/11/15 05:40 AM |
| – | When Her "No" Means "Yes"You have to ask why the movies appeal to the romantic side of women - which is real. Did you click the first link that shows that real-world experiences are much the same? | /r/MensRights | 03/11/15 05:39 AM |
| 2 | Is It OK to Convince Someone They Have Been Raped?I would tend to agree. There is an unfortunate amount of social conditioning from movies where woman would say "no" and then finally buckle under their own natural desire. Once they reach that cross-over point they then become active and enthusiastic participants in the lovemaking act. In fact this sexual behaviour is often seen throughout the natural world where nature seems to require a certain amount of persistence. There may be some underlying evolutionary reason for that - perhaps relating … | /r/MensRights | 02/11/15 11:51 AM |
| – | Is It OK to Convince Someone They Have Been Raped?| The psychological damage of rape can be horrific and debilitating. It can be. However I doubt it will be in cases where there was no real intent to rape. The cases that are most horrific are the ones where the victim knows they have been knowingly abused by someone in a cruel and selfish act with no regard to them as human being. That is why is it is important not to make the victim believe something that is not true just to showcase your knowledge of the latest and greatest laws. Otherwise yo… | /r/MensRights | 02/11/15 11:36 AM |
| – | Is It OK to Convince Someone They Have Been Raped?Here are a number of reasons women would say no - e.g.: a women may not have brushed her teeth or may feel fat and not in the mood but with the required number of compliments on her appearance may have sex after all. It is not always that she finds the man unattractive or is unwilling to have sex with him. It makes things a little greyer but the best option is to back off immediately if she says "no".

| 1 | Dads should not be denied easy access to shared parenting arrangements just because the relationship between mom and dad was abusiveCorrect. Given a long enough time living with the children only the behaviour towards the children should be relevant. Spousal abuse is often a two-way street with the wife's role being down-played. Despite this the husband is almost exclusively portrayed as having a weak character and therefore being unfit as a parent as well. | /r/MensRights | 02/11/15 01:54 AM |
| 2 | Is It OK to Convince Someone They Have Been Raped?There is a danger. Consider this: They argued. They had passionate make-up sex as they had done many times before. However, afterwards, she decides she is not going on with the marriage and regrets having sex. She now wishes to gain child support payments and sole custody of the children. A statement such as this could really just be a straw man argument against rape on the husbands behalf: | My husband and I were having an argument, and he got angry and made me have sex with him.

"About 64-68% of young adult men and about 18% of women use porn at least once every week. Another 17% of men and another 30% of women use porn 1-2 times per month." http://www.covenanteyes.com/2013/02/19/pornography-statistics/ Why this is not 100% could be accounted for by the rate of sexual dysfunction which could be up to 22%.

| 7 | Don't Be Shamed - All Men Watch PORN Scientist FindHa ha. Yes. Anyway, unless a way is found around sperm production, and men's natural need to masturbate (or have sex when available), men WILL watch porn. It is part of the natural process. Even when donating sperm porn mags are readily available for consumption. Some feminist groups will have society believe that men watching porn are somehow fringe sexual psychopaths or predators. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminist_views_of_pornography | /r/MensRights | 01/11/15 10:58 AM |

With most woman likely voting for her the other candidates can only succeed if they have very strong male support, or somehow convince women they will be looking out for their rights/privileges.

Perhaps even add a dumb confused look to the actors face. All hell would break loose. Judging by the 007 movies it is or was ok if an alpha male did so with a confident and righteous expression on his face accompanied by a gruff reprimand (without a laugh track).

For very young children visitation should increase over time as the children get older.

| 2 | Why Do Dads Have To Apply For Parenting Orders But Moms Do Not Have To?The only solution is to attack the problem at its core. Attack the way the CSA formula awards more money to mums the less dads get to see the kids. There has to be a distinction between dads that don't want to see their kids versus dads that want to see them.

| -1 | A Sickness Has Fallen on The Family Law System in AustraliaYou have to follow the money to understand why men are getting such a bad rap in society today.

| 2 | Could it be that Custody and Child Support Payments are at the Core of the Attack on Men?That's like using God as an explanation but not explaining God. There is an underlying "core" to that core.

| 1 | Where is the link to the meta analysis proving that according to hundreds of studies women initiate domestic violence and are sole perpetrators more often than men? (And sorry if it's in some obvious place.)It does not matter. It is sexism. You can't base the treatment of individuals on their race or gender anyway. You don't get to choose your gender or race. Just like we don't have race biased laws there should be no gender biased laws. If you have to make exceptions in law it points to a problem with first principles and fixing that may bring relief for others, perhaps with less strong voice, too. That is why exceptions should not be tolerated. | /r/MensRights | 12/08/15 08:30 AM |

You would prefer to reason by exception anyway - which I find difficult to follow. The point is that you don't tell people to go take classes to deal with abuse. It is the abuse that has to stop. I would have preferred to keep this hypothetical but people like you always manage to turn things into a personal attack. It is likely that you would benefit from some good conflict management therapy yourself. | /r/MensRights | 27/07/15 10:46 PM |

It's ok for women to shoot men that rape them - they may even be acquitted. At which point is reaction to being wronged overkill - pardon the pun? Your message is wrong on many levels.

Is this something women do to gain custody?Given my example of the mom above is she acting out of anger or out of hurt? We are talking about situation where the greater the love, the greater the hurt and the greater the reaction. Had she contemplated/expected the situation beforehand she could have prepared herself not to react that way. In that sense anger/hurt management would have helped beforehand but would not serve a role after the fact.

| 1 | Has anyone been provoked into doing something they regret when it was already clear a divorce was coming? Is this something women do to gain custody?A mom that slaps a child in the situation as described above does not do it because it's a habit that needs to be remediated through counselling - she is doing it exactly because she is not prepared for it - i.e. she does not make a habit of it.

Is this something women do to gain custody?Would you say the same to a woman that slaps a child after saying something hurtful to her in a confrontational (face-to-face) scenario? The more the woman loves the child and the more of a surprise it is the more likely she will act that way. It has nothing to do with the woman requiring therapy. It is a reflex reaction to pain that the body does not have time to distinguish from physical pain. There is no reasoning behind it. | /r/MensRights | 26/07/15 02:08 PM |
