Sure and that is great for you. But what about people that work shifts such as those in the service industry? Or safety technicians who do need training but whose job it is to monitor the ongoing work of other people? You can't say they aren't professionals because they have specialised training, but would have to work obscene hours if those they were supervising had to as well.

Well he has filed a report so now there will hopefully be an investigation. Filing a report with the police is what people should do regarding these matters. Hell even if their individual case doesn't go anywhere because of lack of evidence it is still going to be on record. If the police find a whole bunch of isolated people coming in to report the same person it might lead to something.

The article makes it sound like she thought it was garbage. It also sounds like she approached it rationally and actually thought about it like an intelligent person. "Something being clear" without devoting thought to it is how men's issues get so widely ignored. People think "Oh it is clear that men have all the power" and then we end up where we are.

Feminism is huge, complex, and not necessarily consistent. It takes some time to consider because of that.

I disagree, I think everything no matter how outlandish it sounds at first brush should be considered. Now some things are so clearly insane that you can find good reasons to dismiss them fairly quickly, but those are rarely anything so complex and shifting as one of the largest ideologies in the world.

Isn't it hypocritical to hate all feminists then? Well.... not really. See being a man isn't really something anyone has a choice about, it is what they are born into, like you can't help being Australian if your parents are Australian and you were born in Australia. Feminism however is an ideology, a view point that people decide to support. Having said that I don't hate feminists, but I think your making an apples (gender) to oranges (political ideology) comparison with that question.

So it makes good business sense to want to hire more women developers because the people who create the games should represent an industry's customer base, Brown said. I feel like this is a weird tack to take to be honest, like on the surface it seems sensible but I'm not sure how universally it applies. An extreme example would be porn, if we assume more men watch porn then women then shouldn't there be more male porn actors who are paid well than female ones? More generally though this stateme…

Eh. It is natural for parents to try to protect their kids from something so awful as a rape conviction, even if their kid deserves it. Of course not all parents would act that way, but it doesn't seem especially unusual or unexpected that one would. But one kid's parents a "culture" does not make. Where has culture said "Oh yeah, that father totally has a point?"

There was a period where in England it was legal for husbands to lock their wives in the house. The thing is during this period husbands were the party charged with any crime their wives had committed. There was actually a woman who married a guy, just up and left one day and was years later arrested for forgery... she referred them to her husband. Not directly relevant but it is interesting.

Anonymity for the Accused Laws If the accuser is anonymous, so is the accused. This one always worries me and I can't decide where I stand on the issue. As much as I want someone not to have their name dragged through the mud just because they were accused this seems like it opens up the possibility for abuse on a massive scale. Don't like someone?

To be fair though the speeding thing makes sense, since not knowing the speed limit of where you are driving shows you really aren't paying enough attention to your driving. Although I am pretty sure where I live if you can prove there is a fault with your speedometer you can avoid the fine and license demerit points, but then you can't drive that car until it is fixed.

Not to double reply, but: It also increases the standard of living generally which can have pretty major impacts in terms of development in an area. The more people with money to spend on things, internet connections (perhaps even above a basic connection but a decent plan in some cases), petrol for a car, and so on will incentivise big companies to provide more and better services in the area which improves quality of life for everyone.

Because the VAST majority of it would be spent on big ticket items like houses, cars, boats, and vacations rather than spread around smaller stores, cafes, restaurants, etc. By giving it to everyone you'd massively devalue your currency and then everyone would be more or less exactly where they are now except poorer.

Nope because that only stimulates it for window repairmen. Where as this just increases the number of people spending money and also spreads it around so that so much of it isn't spent on high value items for rich folk. You're thinking of a grossly oversimplified model of this process.

The problem with it is that the money spent doesn't support well-paying professions. It supports cheap labor, and barely at that. How do you figure? I mean if it goes up to cheap labour and cheap labourers spend their money on things designed, produced, sold, etc by people getting paid more than them (which they do) then it supports both.

For example, I know personally of individuals who take great effort to avoid taking actions that would disqualify them from assistance programs.

That is true and it is a shame; but often writers have to work with quite strict word count imitations for pieces like that and don't have the space to spell that out without weakening the impact of their other points.

I disagree, when the following sentence is: It's the strange male, however, who gets the stares should he help a struggling kid in a pool, who holds a crying boy's hand at a park or - god forbid - hugs a little girl at a birthday party. I think that in context that phrasing was used to point out how silly it is that there is an assumption that men are the dangerous ones.

It is interesting that "niggardly" isn't etmyologically related to "nigger", which explains why the letter before "e" is different in each of them, so really people should assume the speaker isn't racist unless something else in what they are saying implies they are. That said I personally wouldn't use the term because is too open to being misinterpreted and I'd rather avoid the potential drama.

Probably because of a bunch of reasons but I'd say the big two are: There are more feminist subreddits than MRA ones, or at least more with visibility. /r/mensrights is the only MRA sub I know of. There probably aren't that many people who make feminism a large enough part of their day-to-day lives to want to join a feminist sub. MRAs are more motivated to do so since their day to day lives are more hostile to the concept of men's rights than women's; that is to say that an organically arising c…

It came down to one girl (and others agreeing) that women should be given government checks because it removes the financial power difference between gender. Where since a man has more power and more money (re: wage gap), it would make the woman equal and less likely to take up traditional gender roles, and not having to serve those roles just to find a man to take care of them.

It is still pretty wrong in my opinion.

Eh, it's not necessarily hypocritical. They might find it an unattractive trait. It'd be hypocritical if they said "sluts" couldn't want to only sleep with guys who weren't "man whores".

I'm not sure anyone said men and women have different capabilities just habits. and yet, when the legal system treats women as behaving, on average, differently from men, the men's rights movement is wildly offended that anyone is treated differently from anyone else.

The point is you shouldn't be saying that without sources in the first place.

Go to any feminist organisation and ask them for rape stats. and see do they include envelopment, you will not find any. You do know most feminist organisations don't do research themselves right?

There has to be an intent to significantly deceive (lying about how boring your job is probably shouldn't count), or a situation where a reasonable person would have thought it was happening under false pretences otherwise it isn't rape.

What if a twin has sex with their sibling's spouse? Only if he intentionally deceived her. For example if they were both at a party, drunk, she wanders in blind and sees someone who likes like her husband lying down away from the party cause he got too drunk. He has been fantasising about being with her for years and thought he maybe had a chance sometimes (douchey brother I know) and thought she knew she was sleeping with him and not her husband.

the belief that a rapist should have a say in whether or not they raped someone. No, the belief is that you can't "rape" someone without being in a situation where a reasonable person would think of it as rape. For example I pick up a nerf gun, and shoot my friend in the head with it, unknown to me however my friend is a member of a CIA assassination squad or something and it is actually a real gun disguised as a toy. My friend dies. I still killed someone, but didn't murder them, or even commit…

Yet you think that things are too "easy" on those reporting the rape Nobody said that. They said that it was unfair that the accuser and key witness in the case of a serious charge can't be cross examined. We get that being raped sucks, and that being cross examined is stressful and potentially traumatic. The thing is we figure the whole "better one hundred guilty go free than one innocent be jailed" is kind of the way to go. That means fair trials with the right to face one's accuser.

given you're a woman, your reasons for being repelled cannot as easily be dismissed Just a couple of weeks ago a guy told my girlfriend that she had been co-opted by men because she thought the drivel he was spouting was ridiculous.

I'm not suggesting men should be able to force abortions to happen, just bow out of rights and responsibilities if it does. Consider this an analogue to safe-dropping. The reason many suggest the "financial abortion" is so men have that choice but need to notify the mother in time for her to decide if she wants to have the child alone or not. Which is a fair choice in my opinion.

The right to falsely accuse a man of rape or assault and face no charges. This one I agree with only if there are stipulations for practical reasons.

Where in the post where he called you out and asked to provide evidence against any of the large number of things he claimed did he bring up the wage gap?

Exactly me thinking. There is something seriously wrong with how that boy was treated, I think anything other than is something we as an audience are creating.

Well I agree with other posters further up, the gender of this teacher feels irrelevant since there is much mistreatment of boys by both male and female teachers and women certainly don't have a monopoly on this sort of thing. It just feels like subtle jab at women for the sake of it to put it in the title IMO.

When you've got female teachers taking the attitude towards the boy that the teacher did, it isn't just because of a general societal attitude - it is because of a distinctly female anti-male bias. We can't say that for sure. Sadly a lot of men try to teach boys to be "manly" by making them endure hardships that they really shouldn't. This is definitely a MR issue but I feel that we cannot say this happened because the teacher was female. Teaching is a profession overwhelmingly dominated by fema…

I condone violence and unimaginable horror to feminists and women alike. Surely this counts as hate speech. Doesn't this violate the moderation policy? I've reported anyway so we will see what the mods think. Look there are some people who will always label MRAs as misogynists. But you are giving them more ammo for them to convince other people. When I first came here I wasn't completely sure what I would find, but I just felt that the gender rights situation was fucked. I came here and found re…

That's ok. I don't want to censor you or anything, it's just that I feel that the "women are whores" attitude is by far too reminiscent of the "all men are violent idiots" attitude many women have. Plus it will be used by people to delegitimize us as misogyists, and ignore our push for change. I understand that it is easy to find women who dangle the carrot of sex for money of favours, but that isn't ALL women. And even those manipulative women will stop doing it when men stop responding to it.

This was written as a reply for someone else so there are a few contextual things that won't read quite right but the general theme applies completely. Please read it. http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/m5gpm/young_men_more_sexist_than_their_fathers/c2yb715 Aren't we as a group fighting against men being generalised negatively? Surely You have a mother or a sister or have/have had a gf or female friend or doesn't deserve the label of whores.

Maybe. Even if he is I can put forward a good face for mens rights when I can. Perhaps just by arguing with this man we can convince those who would turn away that what thingsarebad says are not representative of our values. I haven't before but I'm beginning to think I should start calling people on this kind of thing regularly.

women require shaming language if we expect them to behave well again someday. Most western women are whores. You don't see how this is the same as "All men are stupid sex fiends" or "Men are simpler than women"? Your personal views of the consequences of a sexually liberated culture aside (I read those links, they cite no sources, make unsubstantiated claims about how men lost incentives to be useful to society, among other things) How is women sleeping with as many partners as they want outsid…

Ok; can we please not do things like call women whores? People are more sexually liberal these days for both good and bad but it isn't a men's rights issue. Unfair laws regarding male responsibility in pregnancy is a men's rights issue. The general attitude of men being the dumber, rougher less deserving gender is a men's rights issue. The assumption men are always responsible in DV cases is a men's rights issue. The unfair advantage given to women through things like female only scholarships, f…

While true I believe you are sidestepping the actual thrust of Celda's argument. Yes there are alot of places where women have less rights than they do in the western world, sometimes almost no rights whatsoever as we would define rights anyway. But, and this is a big but, I think we both know that Celda was talking about the western world.

Personally I'm not a fan of men going around shirtless either. At/near a beach I see no problem, or working in a hot environment maybe... But just on the street it seems... Inappropriate? That isn't the right term I suppose, I don't find it offensive or anything either. I just think that it isn't the place for it I guess.

I believe this post has as much to do with mens rights as a woman talking about how all men are rapists has to do with female rights. I don't want to hear about how you think all women are irational, evil baby machines who's only purpose is sex. It's not relevant to this subreddit, please take your rant somewhere else.

It seemed to me that they were on the show because otherwise her dauther was going to go to child services with the video evidence f her abusing her son.

Bullshit. Why is it abuse to an adult who can defend himself but acceptable to a child who cannot? Surely how we treat the defensless is a greater measure of our character than how we treat those who can fight for themselves. I never said he shouldn't be punished but there are other ways. Take away his toys, send him to his room. If he's done something very bad don;t feed him dinner. But what she did was abuse. Child Protective Services would take custody away from her. And why isn't the fact th…

Maybe he lied because when ever he screws up she does this to him. And from what I can gather of the context it seems like it happens often enough for her daughter to film it.

It happened often enough for her daughter to get ready to video tape it. It happened often enough for Kristov to answer her when she asked what was going to happen to him.

Why on earth are you assuming that? I had an abusive step father, people like that don't need reasons as such. Also this is taking things too far. Also just because you have tried everything else you can think of doesn't justify abuse. Get the kid in therapy, he might have any number of disorders that make doing 'the right thing' difficult for him. Children can't tell right from wrong easily anyway, its something they need to learn. He's just been adopted, he's scared and instead of providing a …
