1	Court Forces Actor to Pay Deadbeat Mom Support (For those of you who believe "child" support has anything to do with the welfare of children you must read this.) Planned parenthood? An organization which explicitly avoids calling itself feminist. I really don't think that was the example you're looking for.	/r/MensRights	02/09/11 08:53 PM
3	If the wage gap is real, wouldn't employers be able to save money by only hiring women? That isn't really how hiring works. It might be best to think of the hiring process as an auction and the employees as some kind of objects let's say teapots. The buyers have a perceived value for the teapot and bid on it. The highest bidder gets the teapot. (A simplification I know. The employee may be willing to work for different employers for less money). Now say the teapots are stamped with little F's or M's. If one or more bidders shows a marked preference for teapots with F's or teapots w…	/r/MensRights	31/08/11 04:03 AM
5	Divorced single parents in Germany have no legal right to child support after their child turns three if the parent is capable of working full time, Germany's supreme court ruled on Tuesday. How are the kids theirs if they don't have custody?	/r/MensRights	04/08/11 01:20 AM
3	Rape in the military is rampant, and it affects more men than women due to their disproportionate numbers. Al-Jazeera is funded by the Qatari government and royal family specifically to extend Qatar's influence and is thus one of the few news organizations that still has the funding to do real journalism.	/r/MensRights	02/08/11 01:58 AM
4	I've having an argument with a hyper-feminist co-worker who doesn't believe that there any double standards against men in society. Can we compile a comprehensive list? Selective Service and discriminatory draft legislation in numerous countries. In the UK the age when women can begin collecting retirement benefits is 60 and for men it's 65. Discriminatory citizenship requirements for children of male and female US citizens link In the UK fathers are unable to apply for passports for their children without the mothers permission but mothers are allowed to apply for passports for their children regardless. The policy of some airlines not to seat unaccompanied mi…	/r/MensRights	01/07/11 12:30 AM
1	What is the problem with anonymity for those accused of rape? Open trials are one of the fundamental principles of western society. The major argument against anonymity is that the public has a compelling interest in knowing the details of judicial proceedings. Evidence presented at trial may have implications in other criminal proceedings. The identity of the accused may be important if there is any conflict of interest involving the relationship between the accused and judges, prosecutors, witnesses, or members of the jury. Anonymity would also make it m…	/r/MensRights	22/06/11 08:21 PM
2	Aren't both men's and women's rights supporters supposed to be fighting for equality? Why is there so much animosity between the two factions? (xpost from r/feminisms because I really want to hear from both sides) Many people involved in the founding of the MR movement were divorced dad's who were pissed off that they weren't able to see their children anymore. A large part of the feminist movement subscribes to the idea we live a patriarchy that is a society in which the male is the primary authority figure and where fathers hold authority over women, children, and property. If you were a father who was prevented from seeing his kids by the court system you would obviously be hostile to that idea and any…	/r/MensRights	09/06/11 09:53 PM
2	Feminism and Men's Parental rights towards unwanted children No the law clearly obligates both men and women to pay child support if they're not the custodial parent. Now a presumption of the woman as the primary caregiver among judges frequently prevents the father from becoming the custodial parent but that's an issue with the judges; the law itself is clearly gender neutral.	/r/MensRights	08/05/11 05:08 AM
