9	I'm a female and this is why I need the Men's Rights Movement You don't get appointed representation, but you can represent yourself in any legal matter in any court. It's strongly recommended that you don't - ever - but if you don't have an option you still have the opportunity to be heard. The best way to go pro se (meaning not represented by an attorney) is to call the court and ask the clerk or administrator where to begin. They can't actually give you legal advice (like what to say or what the law is) but they can tell you what needs to be filed to ge…	/r/MensRights	22/08/14 11:39 PM

–	Man writes article critical of college campus rape tribunals, so the wife of the White House media director tried to get him fired The thing about free speech is that it really only is protected against government intervention - I didn't read any of this so I'm not even sure if that argument would hold up, it may or may not. But if you've got a private employer, Company X, and Employee writes some political speech on their facebook page, Boss can fire Employee if Boss feels like it, disagrees with it, whatever. Even if the employment is with a government agency, if it's against policy to put out that kind of speech, they ca…	/r/MensRights	13/06/14 03:21 PM
3	I'm quite enjoying my latest psychology book. I just wanted to add that when you're trying to get someone to accept what they initially reject based on a prejudice, say, it's effective strategy to present your argument as: "not only is it morally right, it also benefits you." If you want your corporate CEO to raise wages, you don't just say it's nice of them or they'd be appreciated by all their employees or that it's just right, morally or even economically speaking - you tell them that in the long run it generates profits or at least redu…	/r/MensRights	05/03/14 05:30 AM

Or like, it's cool to call you a dick, because you're obviously happy having to constantly project masculinity as a man, but you can't call me a cunt because I'm a woman and now that's oppression. The only people suggesting it would be better to be called a dick than a bitch/cunt/twat/pussy are (SRS) feminists, I guess because they really believe in the man=strong / women=weak dichotomy. Insults are always insulting or you're not doing it right.	/r/MensRights	14/02/14 03:18 PM
3	Moderator at /r/offmychest calls someone a dick after banning them for calling someone a cunt. Also sexism doesnt exist against men evidently. Just to add to your point, "bitch" can be both a feminine and masculine insult, because I think that's really how we're all categorizing this right? Even the mod in the OP is assigning gender to insults, so I don't feel bad doing it here. "Bitch" can mean something closer to its original definition - the inferior one that everybody fucks with - or it can mean abrasive / unpleasant / nagging, which usually isn't so weak. I also have to add that I called someone a "fucktwat" last night, but I coul…	/r/MensRights	14/02/14 02:28 PM
10	The real rape culture! I just don't think people should frame good advice as some evil intent to harm a trauma victim. Of course, people need to be sensitive to the victim as far as timing, tact and usefulness. But we're not even really talking about the scenario of "Hey, Suzie, heard you got raped, and I meant to tell you that's a bad part of town, so you should never go there again because it's pretty rapey over there" so much as we're talking about this one: "Hey, Suzie, I know you want to go to that bar, but that'…	/r/MensRights	23/01/14 10:25 PM
17	The real rape culture! When it's a holiday weekend, whether it's New Year's or Independence Day or Labor Day - whatever - I hear at least a dozen times from as many people urging me to "drive safe, there are drunk drivers out there!" I don't get offended. Good advice isn't victim-blaming. It's just precaution, which is better than no caution at all.	/r/MensRights	23/01/14 09:52 PM

23	University of Wyoming rape threat hoaxer Meg Lanker-Simons accepts plea deal, has been accepted into law school, and will be practicing law soon. Yeah, if a DUI during law school keeps people from ever sitting for the bar, I would be willing to bet that a false rape claim (thus, dishonesty to the court and law enforcement) could stop that dream in a heartbeat. That law school will still take her money for three years, though.	/r/MensRights	27/10/13 02:23 PM
1	What the fuck did I just read? That was definitely the tongue-in-cheek part. It makes me cringe every time I hear it. And yes, I think your definition is probably more accurate than any other available wrt to the kind of "activists" we're talking about.	/r/MensRights	19/08/13 04:46 PM
2	What the fuck did I just read? I agree with you, I was trying to be tongue-in-cheek but not quite sarcastic. You really did remind me that, while women struggle to keep up with their own standards of what "beautiful" is (even though there really is no point to meeting that aim unless it's to give yourself a confidence boost), men have it really hard in that department. Women like the one in that article bemoan the media for making it difficult to just get out the door every morning, but if a man were to say "sometimes I want …	/r/MensRights	19/08/13 04:27 PM
1	What the fuck did I just read? When they actually want to, it's nice to let people dote on you, but I feel the same way most of the time. I've had to learn to accept gifts and compliments because the awkwardness I felt was interrupting his fun as well as mine. Of course, I still volunteer to pay for meals whenever I get the chance. Kudos for being frugal and modest, when the only women who seem to get any attention are the wackos.	/r/MensRights	19/08/13 04:58 AM
2	What the fuck did I just read? The only reason it's even a little bit hard to be a woman (forget menses, that's like complaining about the necessity of pooping - that shit just happens, regularly if you're healthy - but ask me again when I've delivered a child ugh) is because other women who proclaim to speak for the rest of us make such amazing asses of themselves. That said, you've reminded me that men have it much harder because the norm is not to coddle you, especially not when you whine about things you do by your own ch…	/r/MensRights	19/08/13 04:52 AM

2	What the fuck did I just read? We all have breasts, it's just that some have particular glands to go with them. And fuck the rules. That might fly on the first date when you don't want to seem weird, but it's never a bad idea to end it with: "so next time, why don't you pick the place - the date - even pick me up?" If she laughs in your face, you just found yourself a reason to look for another lady friend. Sincerely, a lady (with boobs!) who pays her fair share.	/r/MensRights	19/08/13 04:28 AM

32	What the fuck did I just read? Another woman, here. So glad to see another like-minded lady proving that there are some of us who can actually think for ourselves. Your very last line was spot on, but pardon me as I chime in with my own rant. I buy my clothes from TJMaxx, on sale - I don't spend more than $20 for any one item unless it's for a major occasion, and I go shopping maybe every three months. I have tweezers for $10 and I've had them for several years, and I do my own (the only reason I have to is because I started …	/r/MensRights	18/08/13 04:37 PM
1	Ohio Judge tells defendant to "shut up" when he demands a jury trial and right to testify, no evidence and a lying cop results in the guy's life destroyed, loses place at Harvard. You are correct, generally speaking. Of the amendments to the federal constitution, only the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth (the Reconstruction amendments) apply directly to the states. The other amendments of the Bill of Rights (that's usually considered 1-10) are effective against the states only because of the Fourteenth Amendment. That's why we have two separate due process clauses. That's also why if you sue a state officer for a violation of your Fifth Amendment rights, you must also…	/r/MensRights	16/08/13 08:38 PM

0	Ohio Judge tells defendant to "shut up" when he demands a jury trial and right to testify, no evidence and a lying cop results in the guy's life destroyed, loses place at Harvard. I hope for your sake you never do anything really stupid like get caught committing a crime. Woe be to your public defender if that ever should happen. You are the one ignoring 99% of relevant laws and it is obviously pointless for me to break down how the laws work for you, because you don't care how they actually work, you just want to bemoan the broken system. Let me tell you, the system surely would be broken if we had to force dozens of people to take time off of work for every single crimi…	/r/MensRights	16/08/13 06:28 PM
10	Ohio Judge tells defendant to "shut up" when he demands a jury trial and right to testify, no evidence and a lying cop results in the guy's life destroyed, loses place at Harvard. Petty crimes include things like traffic tickets, for which you might have a case that takes less than an hour to argue. It takes a full day to select a jury, who have to take time off of work to hear your bullshit reason for going 70 in a 55 zone. Even if you managed to pick your jury and try your case in the same day, you pick from a pool of at least twice the number of people sitting in judgment - so that's at least 24 people missing work to serve a civic duty. Now add to that the fact that t…	/r/MensRights	16/08/13 04:54 PM

Imagine how I feel: I subscribed to /r/MensRights because /r/TwoXChromosomes was making me ill. Trust me, both sexes have an equal share of the intentionally ignorant. I think there are more who do as you and I typically might, reading articles when they hit our front page, browsing the comments, and ultimately resolving that an effort to contribute would be futile. When I saw how buried your comments were, though, I couldn't help myself - now I'm all over this damnable post.	/r/MensRights	16/08/13 04:35 PM

Wait, am I part of the problem (a) because I actually know what I'm talking about, (b) because I disagree with you, (c) because I'll be part of the judicial system once licensed, (d) because I encouraged you to behave like an active member of a democratic republic? I just want to know what I'm doing wrong, according to you.	/r/MensRights	16/08/13 04:22 PM
1	Ohio Judge tells defendant to "shut up" when he demands a jury trial and right to testify, no evidence and a lying cop results in the guy's life destroyed, loses place at Harvard. Sometimes the best thing to do is just tell your side of the story. They might judge favorably if you don't walk in like Perry Mason pretending you know more about the law than they do. I'm not assuming you did that, of course. It may not be right, but the people who work at the courthouse have the power to go easy on you or really fuck you over, depending on their impression of you. They are as much judges of character as they are finders of fact and arbitrators of law. You win more flies with …	/r/MensRights	16/08/13 04:16 PM

8	Ohio Judge tells defendant to "shut up" when he demands a jury trial and right to testify, no evidence and a lying cop results in the guy's life destroyed, loses place at Harvard. Thank you for actually looking up all of those statutes and presenting this logical, accurate and informative comment. I also think the U.S. Supreme Court is full of shit sometimes, though that doesn't make their rulings any less the law. Only they can do that. Anyone who has a problem with that fact has a problem with Article III of the Constitution... ahem.	/r/MensRights	16/08/13 04:06 PM
9	Ohio Judge tells defendant to "shut up" when he demands a jury trial and right to testify, no evidence and a lying cop results in the guy's life destroyed, loses place at Harvard. Actually, it's much harder than that. You don't have to "prove your innocence" per se, but you do have the burden of proving that the judge made an error in his/her discretion that was so clearly wrong that it practically reeks like a smack to the face with a dead fish (I'm paraphrasing actual court language here), or that some evidence exists that you didn't have access to before, or you actually won a malpractice suit for ineffective assistance of counsel (an attorney who falls asleep during y…	/r/MensRights	16/08/13 03:59 PM
4	Ohio Judge tells defendant to "shut up" when he demands a jury trial and right to testify, no evidence and a lying cop results in the guy's life destroyed, loses place at Harvard. Hey, I'm just a law school graduate who just took the bar exam, but you don't actually get a jury trial for everything. The fact that this guy was in a municipal and not a circuit court has very much to do with it. A municipal court (as in municipality) is generally created to ease the docket of state courts (circuit courts, at least where I'm from) and has lesser powers than those state courts. They take the small cases with small amounts in controversy or short jail stints (less than a year, u…	/r/MensRights	16/08/13 03:38 PM

1	Woman gets life sentence for making 13-year-old boy touch her breasts; Lawyer cries, says the law was never intended for people like her Lately a lot of us here just mean "rise again" in the sense that we'd like to be number one in anything other than teen pregnancy or obesity.

1	What do you think about these stats? I'm not really disagreeing with you, but I think most people with any kind of cancer don't really like to talk about it until they're in recovery or at least on the way. I say this as a friend of someone who just found out a week ago that she has a possibly cancerous growth on one ovary and a tumor on her uterus. She refused to see a doctor even though she had a period from March to July because she was busy working - one of those that likes to be taking care of others instead of the one being c…	/r/MensRights	16/07/13 04:08 PM
-2	I ask 2 girls to leave private property, I end up hand cuffed in the back of a police car. Cops are people too. People make mistakes, though. And people who have power over other people act like dicks more often than not. It takes a really great cop to not be a dick. The dick cops are still gonna arrest the people who rob my neighbors, just like they're going to shuffle the homeless people out of the commercial district when political folks come through town. Sometimes it takes a dick to do the dirty work. All I'm saying is I can appreciate a good dick.	/r/MensRights	13/07/13 08:13 AM
52	I ask 2 girls to leave private property, I end up hand cuffed in the back of a police car. If they aren't asking you to do security, you should avoid confrontations like this in the future and just call police on trespassers. Use the local, not the emergency number. Also let them know about your job and the possibility of trespassers, and that you just don't want them thinking you're wasting their time in the future. If that property makes money for somebody, odds are police will happily help you protect it. Normally I would suggest that anyway, for fear of people who might rob you or…	/r/MensRights	13/07/13 02:43 AM
0	NZ woman rapes 13 year old boy: Cries in court, avoids jail, avoids a fine, can't be charged with rape I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I think the rage that results from a SO coming out is more to do with: (1) being lied to, from the perspective of the person learning this; (2) not somehow knowing before being told, or suspecting and ignoring only to find out later you were right; and (3) how do I explain this to my friends/family/coworker - that I couldn't see this before I settled into a committed relationship.

6	Wife Who Cut Off Husband’s Penis Found Guilty, Faces Life Imprisonment. I hope she gets life. This sounds like the plot of a shitty horror movie (Teeth comes to mind). Dismemberment is barbaric and gruesome behavior; she might as well have taken his hand or decapitated him. Life sounds fair. Someone mentioned it above, but the possibility of parole is only available because of sentencing guidelines. One of the charges was aggravated mayhem, so it's not like armed robbery that might come with an automatic life sentence option, depending on the state's laws, though IA…	/r/MensRights	04/05/13 02:52 AM

This anecdote is about abuse, not rights. She might use neo-feminist thinking to justify her domineering nature, but she's still just a mean ol' bitch.
