I posted my source, post yours that supports your argument. Otherwise it’s just conjecture - I am always happy to change my mind based of reliable information.

It isn’t a death sentence, it’s a system that recognises all contributions count, including non-economic contributions. The system has decided that men cannot retain their resources in divorce where women are expected to provide their resources for free. Men cannot retain generally earn more because women look after the house and kids, at the detriment to their own economic productivity. You can’t have it both ways. Both economic and non economic labour are contributions to the relationship and …

In addition, ensure that you can demonstrate active involvement in the parenting, care and raising of your kids. Not just sport or the fun stuff. But the day to day. Then there is no basis for gender consideration in custody. Kids are used to both parents doing the day to day of doctors appointments and bed time routines.

The nuclear family with the father at the head of the household is a uniquely western concept. Maybe other cultural and family structures are better placed for success in terms of building civilisation.

It there another lens here, that employers need to held accountable for workplace safety? I had a look at the per capita data - the US has 3.7 deaths per 100,000 people. Let’s assume they are all men. Australia has 1.3 per 100,000. What explains the difference? This is per capita , so normalised for population size.

This is a nice study and I think the OPs summary is very succinct: relationship loss interacts with masculinity, isolation, and social structures in real, deadly ways. I am curious as to how these findings intersect with the sometimes cited narrative that marriage, overall is not beneficial to men, that marriage only benefits women. These findings seem at odds with that on surface.

My husband earns half of what I do and we don’t have kids - but my expectation is we share the load 50/50. Sure it’s going to swing and roundabout based on life and things. It’s a frustration for me because I feel I have to fight for it sometimes. I am not more capable to walking the dog, ordering the detergent (or noticing when it runs out). It’s not constant but it is sometimes obvious. We also both notice how little our fathers contributed to the day to day running on a house.

It’s uncommon and usually doesn’t require treatment, unless caused by an infection. Most urologists wouldn’t see it it generally resolves in 3 months and there are limited treatment options.

It was published by medical doctors, not doctorates (or academics as they are usually known). Not every article belongs in Nature but can still raise point of interest for further consideration. The guidelines for peer review are available from The journal. It is possible for something to be a valid evaluation of an observation even when you don’t agree with it. One is systematic, one is anecdotal. Both are limited in their application.

The risk is different and as another poster pointed it, the risk changes as men age. So young men may also be discharged. It depends on the protocol of the hospital. Men have a prostate and long urethra. Women don’t.

There isn’t a liability standpoint. Men over a certain have higher risk of urinary retention post anaesthesia. Protocols are in place to manage this risk and identify early.

Because it’s one article in a body of knowledge. Research isn’t binary, it offers conclusions based on examining a particular data set. I know nuance isn’t the strength here, but no reasonable clinican will talk in true or false, but an application of the data to the situation in front of them.

It’s a document. Not a CFR, not part of GCP.

The articles you post seperate out clinical trials and epidemiological studies.

Are they problems with the study or limitations of the design? This is using retrospective data and the ability to analyse DALY and opportunity adjusted may not be possible. It doesn’t mean it’s wrong. The power required to include all the variable would be make for an undesirably complex stand alone study.

It is a job. If she wasn’t doing it, he would be paying someone a lot more. Courts literally recognise it as a contribution. It is a bias, it’s recognising that as a family they decided she should stay at home (although the article doesn’t reflect that) her being at home enabled his increased financial success. It isn’t his “hard work” alone. It was a shared effort. It didn’t read as though he wanted her to get a job. Many men are unhappy with unequal contributions… until they divorce.

Again, read the article. She was discouraged from Working outside the home. She also did some Work in him gyms. Arguably they both chose for her to take on the caring and home responsibilities. One generally get to unilaterally decide someone else supports them. It was a decision they both agreed to in principle and practice. Not her alone.

See how much work he could have done without somone caring for his children. You think women should end a relationship with nothing. That’s your right to your opinion. The law in most jurisdictions doesn’t agree - hence the outcome.

If you read the detail it isn’t alimony or back pay, it’s a property settlement. Alimony doesn’t even exist in my country, I don’t know about Spain. The ongoing payment appears to be child support rather than alimony.

He allowed her to stay at home to care for THEIR children and THEIR home?
/r/MensRights08/03/23 01:18 AM

What would she pay it with? They could have agreed that she got an equally well paid job and he can pay half the child care costs for 15 years. They clearly had an agreement on who worked and who stayed home. This doesn’t mean her effort caring for the family had no value. Even an au pair you pay their rent, board and an allowance and they don’t do any actual parenting.

So she should be left with nothing of their lifetime capital gain and he should keep it all? They both had jobs, one just wasn’t remunerated.

/r/MensRights08/03/23 01:14 AM

Because she made a non financial contribution for more than 15 years, which allowed him to focus on work while she raised their children. It’s a properly settlement - which considers financial and non financial contributions. It’s as though you never read the article…..

Sounds like that’s a stress management problem, not a slow vehicle problem.

No they wont, because it is expected that drivers can navigate obstacles on the road - including slower moving vehicles. Here, if you hit someone from behind you are automatically at fault. It could be someone driving under the speed limit, heavy load, a horse. The onus is on drivers to take care and drive to the conditions. So yes, our rotations were very different.

I am unclear on your point. You claim women show unreasonable levels of caution - assuming you extrapolate that to causing accidents and then post studies that are discussing a different point.

I would look to the root cause. Why do people not observe changes in traffic conditions? Your original claim was that women are more likely to “cause” these accidents in speed variance. There appears to be no evidence for that. It is also contextual, in the US and Australia it is isn’t the main cause of road fatalities for men or women. Where accidents of speed differential occur, it’s usually as the driver is distracted. Hence using mobile phones while driving is illegal here (some exceptions f…

That article says that traffic conditions are the biggest factor in accidents in start-stop traffic. Individual factors (e.g gender) were not significant. It made no comment on fatalities.

Testing boundaries is not the same as doing someone someone has said they don’t like. I think people get caught up in black and white thinking.

I am making no question or comment about loving or adoring your child. The reality is that the first 12 months are hard.

It’s not my relationship, they clearly have structured it as transactional from a financial perspective. It’s unorthodox. What she is proposing is entirely consistent with them sharing costs 50/50. The cost under discussion isn’t the cost of raising their child but the loss of her income. He sees her income as an input to the relationship, an equal one to his. She is experiencing a financial loss for a decision they both made. Her ask is consistent with how they manage their finances.

Yeah it is sad when a relationship has 50/50 financial contributions but a woman is still expected to take the salary hit for the child they both wanted. I thought this was what men wanted? Equal contribution? It is the very opposition of treating men like a walking wallet. She is literally contributing half, but her “husband” doesn’t believe the loss salary while on maternity leave is a shared cost (although he sees it as a shared contribution which is illogical)
/r/MensRights10/03/22 08:20 PM

Why not? The relationship is clearly negotiated on equal contributions. Why would he expect her to take the salary cut but continue to contribute 50/50? Why shouldn’t he contribute equally to the cost of the first year of raising the child they both chose to have? She is going to return to work, she is only seeking the unfunded part of her leave.

But he isn’t. She is returning to work after a year. In this scenario she is asking for him to share the cost, 50/50 of child care. Which is her unfunded salary cost. It isn’t intimated that the financial aspects of their relationship have been renegotiated and he will be the main provider. He is expecting that she will take the financial hit for the child they both chose to have. It’s an unusual basis for a relationship but men say they want 50/50 contributions. Until they don’t.

Lots of unhinged people do this: I was sent a manifesto at work the other day from a random That disagreed. While you are right that some people who identify as feminists may do this. It isn’t a characteristic of feminists. Some men are angry at women and kill them, it doesn’t make it a characteristic of men.

Everyone has arguments and disagreements on the internet. It’s why we come here. I don’t believe you can extrapolate an argument on the internet between two polarised groups to “all men” “all women” all feminists. There is clear bias in these discussions. It’s like oil and water. Someone disagreeing isn’t harassment or insult. Some people just do it better than others.

However as this is a mens rights sub, I think it is important to look at the assumptions packed up in an action. I feel men should also be able to change their names (based on relationship status… or not) with their masculinity being questioned and without the administrative night mare. Wouldn’t it also be an act or devotion for a man to take his partners name, if that is what they want? Shouldn’t this be something that is acceptable for anyone to decide what their name speaks to about their fam…

Honestly, citation needed. For sure there is ideological differences and debate, but what do you care? Choices are debated and criticised all the time. People show commitment and devotion in all sorts of acts and behaviours. My husband was very keen for me to change my name, I didn’t want to. I showed my commitment through other acts. I don’t take other peoples choices as a comment on my life. Why would you?
/r/MensRights07/01/22 08:35 AM

Not really, but I am not a choice feminist. I have never seen a protest over women showing their devotion to their husbands. Always happy to be proven wrong though. With all our choices, they are never made in a vacuum, they always exist in a social context. So I do think it is insightful to question why we do the things we do. Not as a comment on right or wrong, but understanding the drivers. I think why some women object to the practice is because it maintains an expectation for all women. I d…

And that is your choice of that is how you choose to embody devotion. But it shouldn’t be an expectation that that is how people prove their commitment. It could cut both ways.

Once upon a time it probably was - it reflected that women were chattels rather than people. Ownership transferred from father to husband. The concept of a marriage for love is very new. Some people (myself included) still find the idea that a man would expect a woman (no ask, discuss or negotiate) to take him name is outdated and no longer reflects women in society as an assumption that women change their name. . But as I said, this is changing in many western cultures and for many counties the…

I think there are a lot of things packed up in the expectation of women taking someone else’s surname rather than the patriarchal tradition of having your fathers surname. It spoke to and outdated idea of women leaving their family of origin to create a household headed by her husband. Once upon a time women were subjugated by their roles as wives and mothers v the breadwinner and head of a household. I think this has changed a lot though.

Oh, so it was one person. And she is correct. Children carrying their fathers name is part of the patriarchy. That bit is factual. It occurred for good reasons at the time, some of them still relevant. The fact that this tradition exists is patriarchal. But my response would be so what? It doesn’t sound as though these are particularly useful discussions
/r/MensRights07/01/22 07:03 AM

Oh, so not hyperbole at all then? I have had this discussion often - yes it is a patriarchal tradition by its very definition. However there are many more options available to men and women who want to change their names. I have never seen anyone scream about it, most people just take actions that means their name sits better with them.
/r/MensRights07/01/22 06:57 AM

Do you have an example of this? I am not sure what it means to be “violently against surnames”. Are the feminists all known by a single name only? Many women opt out the tradition of changing names upon marriage and the assumption they babies automatically get the fathers name may not hold true. But I am not familiar with surnames as an anti feminist concept. Many people change a surname for lots of reasons, including wanting to disassociate with their family of origin, or a member of that famil…

I think it varies enormously. Where I live there needs to be evidence that each party had independent legal council. It’s also not called a pre-nup but a binding financial agreement. And the longer you are together, the more complexity, the more children, the less likely it is to be enforceable. Alimony also isn’t a thing here. There are factors that “uplift” a property settlement, but the hatred for alimony can be contained to the USA, thanks.

It’s a relatively off topic, but if a single engineer could make a mistake that cost many lives, the quality processes of that person, project or company are absolutely terrible. It would be a failure of process, not person. There are really good reasons why single people are not single points of accountability. Even pilots have multiple fail safe systems. So I get the point you are trying to make but it isn’t equivalent. No one engineer hold more responsibility than any one teacher. Or at least…
