5	England moving to only jail women for serious crimes. This is pretty much exactly what "third wave" feminists want. Equal rights, not equal responsibilities.	/r/MensRights	06/07/18 11:44 AM
-2	"Sarah Hanson-Young accuses David Leyonhjelm of sexist slur during debate on women's safety." Left out of the headline is that HE accuses her of saying all men are rapists. That's the REAL story. Probably true. ;-) But doesn't address whether his statement was factual.	/r/MensRights	28/06/18 05:36 PM

If he accused her of saying it and she didn't, that would be a sexist slur. Did she actually say it?	/r/MensRights	28/06/18 11:34 AM
4	“Young people need to understand that you can consent to having intercourse in the evening and not consent to it the following morning,” she said. As soon as you say "I think what they meant...", you should stop and ask yourself: If they're intent is to clarify the issue, why are they stating something in a way that can be misinterpreted? Because if their "policy statement" can be misinterpreted, when push comes to shove the policy weilders will choose the interpretation that benefits them. In this case, that means the interpretation that benefits women and disadvantages men . That also means they are trying to set it up so a woman can say…	/r/MensRights	12/05/18 02:37 PM
5	TIL: When feminist Susan Brownmiller was asked for evidence supporting her claim that feminist censorship would stop rape, she replied "The statistics will come. We supply the ideology; it's for other people to come up with the statistics." A quote to support the quote "there are lies, damned lies, and statistics". (Attributed to Benjamin Disraeli)	/r/MensRights	22/04/18 01:21 PM
1	A student activist publicly called me a rapist with no evidence. Here's the toll it took on my life. - The College Fix This kid needs a lawyer (probably pro bono or on contingency, if he's a "poor college kid") who will sue Dunn for slander and defamation (emotional injury, etc). Until false accusations of sex crimes are treated as sex crimes, this will continue to be an issue.	/r/MensRights	06/04/18 03:58 PM
7	A clear example of how feminism infantilizes women and excuses sexism faced by men Feminists who use this argument also want to ignore that "power structures" (who has the power in a given place or time) are fluid and situational . The manager at McDonald's has ZERO power in the hospital. The celebrities who say "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" are trying to take power where they have none (or little). Most power structures don't care about the gender of the person wielding power.	/r/MensRights	12/03/18 04:32 PM
372	Multiple large studies reveal a taboo truth hard to swallow: women are much more violent than men That may be a relatively "modern" development. A likely contributor would be the modern push to protect women from the consequences of their actions. A man hits a woman, everyone is outraged. A woman hits a man and "he must have deserved that". A woman hits a man and he retaliates , everyone is outraged at the man again. Feminists don't want to admit it, but the policies they push for are infantilizing women.	/r/MensRights	07/11/17 11:37 PM
2	In 2010, Sweden scrapped affirmative action in colleges because it ended up favouring men, as women outnumbered them: ''The education system should open doors – not shut them in the face of young women who are motivated to study'' They still want the door to opportunity held open for them. :-/	/r/MensRights	31/07/17 12:44 PM

21	Why are we in society promoting misandry instead of making it as equally wrong as misogyny? How can we make people aware of the effect it is having on society? The best short answer to you question of why misandry is acceptable and misogyny is not is: Feminists have about a 40 year head start in their political activism.	/r/MensRights	28/11/13 04:24 PM
2	Outrageous discriminatory airline policy As the father of a 4 year old girl, if I was flying somewhere without my family and the attendant asked me to move for this reason, I would tell them to make a choice: Comp me my flight, move me to first class or move the child. If their computer system can't manage their seating policies for them (and it could if they did the programming) and they want me to help them, they can "pay" me for my trouble. And I get to set the pay rate.	/r/MensRights	17/11/13 10:04 PM
17	Carter backs forced male circumcision in Africa, but says "African cultures mutilating the genitals of young girls .. leaders passively accept violence against women." Carter is a Christian. Circumcision is a "traditional" practice he is familiar with and supportive of. But, to him, doing something similar to a female is barbaric.	/r/MensRights	30/06/13 02:57 PM
1	Should feminists be included on discussions of rape or ipv? In discussions like that, it would be important to have a strong moderator to prevent the discussion from being side-tracked and remind people (probably constantly) of the ground rules they agreed to. Many feminists and MRAs get emotional about defending "their side" of the argument.	/r/MensRights	20/04/13 01:17 PM
2	Opinion article in my school paper arguing that all women are unsafe because men are "incapable of rational thinking and unable to control their sexual desire." Please help me refute this (factually) 2nd thing: The only statistical reference she links to is the one that 1/4 of women are victims of rape or attempted rape. That statistic has been questioned already because of what it includes in the definitions of rape and attempted rape. They include as rape situations where the woman believes she was forced or coerced to have sex upon consideration after the fact. The legal system plays into that with the "no means no" meme. If a woman says "no" and then later says "yes", the agreement is di…	/r/MensRights	03/04/13 12:24 PM
2	Opinion article in my school paper arguing that all women are unsafe because men are "incapable of rational thinking and unable to control their sexual desire." Please help me refute this (factually) It sounds odd to feminists to hear it, but women, in general, have more power than men, in general. If a woman feels "threatened" by a man, she can tell a cop and the man will be forced to leave her presence or she can tell a judge and the man can be forced to avoid her indefinitely. If a man feels threatened by a woman, the same is not true. A woman does not even have to prove that a threat exists - she just has to believe that one exists to be taken seriously. In the BDSM community, there is a…	/r/MensRights	03/04/13 11:57 AM
5	Comment to woman who wants to censor false rape story: "This story isn't about 'rape' or Steubenville or you. It's about a young man who suffered a grievous wrong." The blog post has been taken down. You and others must have struck a nerve.	/r/MensRights	26/03/13 09:03 PM
1	Saw this in LA Times today I'm not saying it doesn't happen just as you describe. What I am saying is: If the girl says "no" and then has sex with you without saying "yes," if she goes to the cops afterward the law says you raped her if she did not say "yes." In the eyes of the law, implied consent is not consent if she first said "no." You can do your own looking around online. It won't take you long to find stories from guys who are now registered sex offenders because the girl said "no," had sex anyway, regretted it th…	/r/MensRights	01/03/13 04:38 AM
2	Saw this in LA Times today Ignoring age or not, what you have described is still going to be legally viewed as a rape. If consent is verbally denied, the boy cannot accept implied consent and expect to stay out of jail if the girl goes to the cops. It's a stupid system designed to favor one group of stupid people (some women) over another group of stupid people (some men).	/r/MensRights	28/02/13 08:23 PM
32	Saw this in LA Times today Did you post this to MR because you agree or disagree? The girl was stupid, yes, but she did deny consent. She should not need to keep denying consent. I see culpability on both sides, but the boy's culpability makes him guilty of misdemeanor statutory rape (CA law - she is under 18 and he is 3 years older than her).	/r/MensRights	27/02/13 12:20 AM
10	What you get, when you take an academic-sounding description of misogyny, and replace "her" with "him", "misogyny" with "misandry", and "object" with "success object"..... Plus minor tweaks. You missed gender flipping the "mothers, sisters..." part. But otherwise very good. It is also an example of what most MRAs try to get people to understand: That misandry is no more acceptable than misogyny and needs to be "fought" just as vigorously.	/r/MensRights	18/12/12 04:16 AM
1	Making a false rape claim apparently isn't a crime to the Univ. of Cincinnati police The information missing from the article: What did she gain from filing the false report (can't really call it an "accusation")? There is always something to gain, either for the woman personally or for a group when filing a false claim. So who gained, and what?	/r/MensRights	29/11/12 12:38 AM
2	Are any men here living a happy, long-term family life? I'm 47, and have been married 7 years this week. My wife is 44 and we have a 3 year old daughter. Of course most people never enter a relationship intending to end it once they are serious about finding a mate. That said, I would advise not stressing yourself about "finding" someone. It happens when it happens. I was 38 when I met my wife, 39 when we got engaged, 40 when we got married. It is the first marriage for both of us. 2nd piece of advice: You have to put yourself out there, socially and…	/r/MensRights	19/11/12 01:42 AM

5	34-year-old Idaho woman sentenced to eight years in prison, including two fixed, for felony lewd conduct with a child under 16 — but sentence was suspended and she was .. placed on probation. Anyone have enough legal expertise to know: Could a man use that sentencing to appeal their own sentencing? Not that I plan on testing it, but "equality under the law" is supposed to be the rule.	/r/MensRights	23/08/12 11:36 PM
5	Help! I was established in my state as not the father, now I am? You might want to lead with introducing her previous statement FIRST. Because if the court says "you're right - she can't say you aren't the father and then say you are", you are not on the hook by force. You could then be magnanimous and offer to take a paternity test with a stipulation that if the test shows you are the father that you want joint custody or some sort of visitation plan. Again, with a CO lawyer to guide and assist in the process.	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 04:44 PM
11	Help! I was established in my state as not the father, now I am? First: Consult a lawyer that specializes in custody cases - one that takes the father's side, if you can find one. One that knows the law in your ex's state, if you can (which may require finding a lawyer in that state). You did not say which state she moved to. Some states make it really easy for a woman to say "He's the father, I want money." Your court records may prove valuable and may not. The court should be willing to take her previous statements into account in determining paternity. At …	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 04:02 PM
1	I used to dislike r/MensRights. Today I changed my mind. Group think is a huge problem ~on Reddit~. FTFY Group think is a problem for any sufficiently large group with a common interest. Look at how political parties around the world are trending away from the middle and becoming less willing to "negotiate" with their "opponents" in order to govern in the best interests of their country. Reddit is not unique in this respect.	/r/MensRights	22/08/12 11:29 AM
2	I used to dislike r/MensRights. Today I changed my mind. That is why the "Devil's Advocate" is such an important function, especially when people are passionately engaged in the discussion.

46	I used to dislike r/MensRights. Today I changed my mind. There is a reason that "subreddits" are both beneficial and a problem when they focus on social or political issues: They reinforce "group think". People who already agee with the group feel like they are not alone and sometimes act/speak more aggressively than they would in "mixed" company (a group of people where some agree, some disagree, and some have no opinion). This tends to make discussion "within the group" highly inflammatory to those that disagree. Usually these groups (like MensRight…	/r/MensRights	21/08/12 05:40 PM

The choices I listed are the ones who most commonly present the attitude you have displayed: I don't like (agree with) what that person is doing, therefore it is wrong.

3	Why I don't label myself a feminist (a female opinion) Well thought out. I think you are a little ahead of the curve, bit we are approaching a time (I hope) where "humanism" is going to be the new buzzword and will be about preserving-and-improving rights for all.	/r/MensRights	25/06/12 10:55 PM
17	I'm a woman, and I'm on your side. Feminists DO NOT expect men to open car doors for them, pay for dinners, ect. I think that depends on the definition of "feminist" you use. The "Radical feminists" (ie, feminazis) tend to get militant when a man acts chivalrous. "Progressive feminists" are more like what you describe - they don't expect a man to be chivalrous, but may appreciate when he does act that way (my wife falls into that category). A chivalrous male sees his acts as a sign of respect (for either the individual or the sex…	/r/MensRights	05/06/12 06:59 PM

My sister is running the race for life half marathon an wants me to sponser her but I don't feel happy supporting the race for life charity as they don't allow men to take part. What should I do so as not to hurt my sisters feelings? If your primary goal is not hurting your sister's feelings, your course is already laid out: Sponsor her. If instead you want to make a statement more than you care about hurting her feelings, then don't sponsor her. Your question did not indicate you considered both options equally weighted for consideration.	/r/MensRights	01/06/12 08:21 PM

2	A much more accurate rape analogy While I did exaggerate it, and make it very much "worst case scenario"... and "Probably spend the rest of your life in prison" is by no means the norm... I'm pretty sure, "worst case" always falls outside the norm. I am interested to see your rewrite that falls within the norm.	/r/MensRights	19/09/11 05:38 PM
9	This is what a feminist looks like Does Goldstein self-identify as a feminist or are you calling him a feminist because he represents some? If the latter, all I see is a typical dishonest lawyer - willing to lie, cheat and steal because it is what his clients paid him to do.	/r/MensRights	04/09/11 04:02 PM
4	A post for the few (on both r/ mensrights and r/feminisms) Well-thought out points. And you are correct that too few people on both ends think about "the other side" except in dismissive terms. It defaults to those of us in the middle, who can and do think about both sides, to bring sanity back to the discussion. Thank you.	/r/MensRights	14/07/11 08:18 PM

See which one gets you shut down by the city. I know here in MN, in the Minneapolis area, some people tried to sue a bar that had Ladies' Night but no Men's Night. The bar owner won (can't remember on what grounds) and soon after there were no bars with Men's Nights.	/r/MensRights	11/06/11 03:55 PM
1	Right to criminal records in closed rape case? Consult a JAG lawyer. There are a few things that make your case different from most: You were investigated federally. You are requesting federal records about yourself. I am not sure FOIA applies to the military, or if it does that it applies to this type of case.	/r/MensRights	11/06/11 12:18 AM
7	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) The Men's Rights movement was started as a reaction to "militant" feminism. Militant feminism is different from milder feminism now or older versions in that it is not concerned with equality but dominance, especially in the political and legal arenas.	/r/MensRights	09/06/11 06:27 PM

As previously said by others, he is at a private school - free speech rule does not apply. He is using a pejorative to express his opinion, "Mick" (or do you prefer "Paddy"? Or "Wigger"?).

5	My son's bitch of a teacher suspended him, what should I do? Having an opinion is not the same as expressing an opinion. Your son was using an homosexual slur to express an opinion - while "gay" may be in common usage to describe homosexuals, the context your son put it in made it a pejorative. If I (or one of the other readers of our exchange) expressed displeasure at your obstinancy by saying "he won't get it, the Irish are thick like that" that would be OK, right? After all, it's just an opinion.	/r/MensRights	05/04/11 07:01 PM

It is easy to understand how you could mistake "men's rights" discourse (since "andrist" appears to not have been coined as a word but should be the parallel to "feminist") for misogyny when extreme feminists ("femi-nazis" or "misandrists") attack anything pro-male as being anti-female.

I took my wife to the ER with an acute attack of appendicitis. They asked her. I am looking forward to the day I take my daughter to the doctor and they ask her. Maybe I can coach her ahead of time and we can play with some heads - "Daddy! Who did you tell? I'm going to beat you AND Momma when we get home!" Sweet, sweet psychological trauma.	/r/MensRights	19/11/10 04:42 PM
2	So far both my male and female friends have all found this video disturbing. Who on earth thinks this is funny? I think it's funny in the "bitches be crazy" way (tip-o-the-hat to Phillip DeFranco). But every time I see it I think "if they reversed the genders on that video, feminists would be flipping their shit!"	/r/MensRights	11/11/10 07:52 PM
1	Feminist decries the use of DNA testing As the Russian proverb says: "Trust, but verify." Trust is well and good in 'matters of the heart', but in matters of finance (including paternity) verification should be expected if there is the possibility of "error".	/r/MensRights	10/11/10 04:10 PM
9	A female University of Delaware student reported that she was sexually assaulted. Video evidence exposes the story as a complete fabrication and lie. The false accuser won't be charged with any crime and her identity is being protected! "Apparently the guy was 20, and these are freshman dorms," Vaughn said. "So if you see a guy older than you trying to get in, it's really sketchy. I was kind of freaked out. Now when I see a guy who's not 18 around here, I get kind of scared." I don't remember being able to visually tell the difference between an 18 and 20 year old person, male or female when I was that age. I still can't. If I was a college age male these days and someone used the "Clery Act" to publish my name in a false accus…	/r/MensRights	10/11/10 03:49 PM
1	Feminist decries the use of DNA testing This is what I was going to suggest too. The hospital can do all the illness testing at the same time since they draw all those pipettes of blood anyway and do the genetic tests too. Another $300 on my hospital bill? That's pretty cheap for what is being offered - certainty and peace-of-mind. And I think a mother that does not want a genetic test of her child is already stating something about her own certainty of paternity.	/r/MensRights	09/11/10 05:10 PM
6	Today I was fired. Why? File your claim. Waiting counts against you in discrimination cases (as a matter of perception - if you were certain of your facts, you would have acted instead of waiting).	/r/MensRights	05/11/10 09:58 PM
3	So I go to drop my daughter at school today and guess who is waiting for me in the parking lot ? A police officer... I read many comments and did not see this particular issue addressed. Apologies if it was mentioned further down. The other issue to consider is the school using your daughter to retaliate. With or without the collusion of sympathetic teachers, the school administrators have TOTAL control and access to your daughter for most of the daylight hours. You could find her subjected to scrutiny and punishment for petty infractions. As previously stated, your best route is to keep this public through th…	/r/MensRights	15/10/10 09:42 PM
2	How does one go about getting an injunction against the mother to prevent your child from being circumcised? Do courts even grant these? Fairly simple: I was an insecure teen and didn't want to be different "that way" anymore.	/r/MensRights	09/09/10 03:57 PM
2	How does one go about getting an injunction against the mother to prevent your child from being circumcised? Do courts even grant these? Technically/Legally, in every US jurisdiction that I know of, any case can set a precedent within that jurisdiction and can be used as an argument to set precedent for the same issue in other jurisdictions. But the hill to climb is harder across jurisdictions. The problem with precedents is that unless the issue is clear-cut one way or the other, any other judge can disagree and thereby create a competing precedent if the issue goes through trial and the outcome differs. Judges are not bound to …	/r/MensRights	01/09/10 09:29 PM
3	How does one go about getting an injunction against the mother to prevent your child from being circumcised? Do courts even grant these? As one of the rare "uncut" in my generation (I have boomer parents), I have this advice for you: IF your have a son and IF he remains intact through childhood, discourage getting circumcised later in life. It WILL hurt like hell not just during and immediately after the procedure but for days or weeks - the normal friction of walking can be unbearable. The glans is extremely sensitive - every male knows that. What most circumcised males do not know is that the uncircumcised glans is MORE sensiti…	/r/MensRights	01/09/10 09:25 PM
3	Officer Woodson would take me to the warehouse in the basement of the detention center, and that is where he raped me. After the first time, he told me that if I ever told anybody that he knew where my family lived,where my children lived, threatening to hurt them It is one of the most institutionalised, belittled and ignored human rights abuses... Exactly. Human Rights - applying equally to all members of the human race. Not Men's Rights, which is about issues being treated unequally based on gender. In the two articles, both the male and the female victims were treated as if what happened to them was their fault - treated differently, but still the same in that respect.	/r/MensRights	30/06/10 01:50 PM
2	Why Is It Legal to Charge Men More for Car Insurance? The article has a valid point about gender discrimination, but it is written to be inflammatory, which I do not like. It assumes facts not in evidence: In a sense it is fair, because if gender discrimination were outlawed women would have to pay higher rates to cover the opposite sex’s more reckless behavior. On the other hand, it’s not fair because dangerous women drivers enjoy a discount they don’t deserve, and safe male drivers pay for the recklessness of their entire gender. Where is the evi…	/r/MensRights	29/06/10 06:40 PM

After the first time, he told me that if I ever told anybody that he knew where my family lived,where my children lived, threatening to hurt them This is not a Men's Rights issue so much as an Human Rights issue. But two sad tales, none-the-less.	/r/MensRights	29/06/10 06:29 PM

2	"That's fine, as long as he isn't a pedophile." Someone said this to my wife about me being a stay-at-home dad. Makes me think of all the articles I have seen in the past year (since I started reading more Men's Rights issues - my daughter was born a year ago) about men being watched or excluded when trying to participate in parent/child activities with predominantly mother/child groups. Having been working from home until August of last year, it is especially poignant to me.	/r/MensRights	02/03/10 04:55 PM
3	"That's fine, as long as he isn't a pedophile." Someone said this to my wife about me being a stay-at-home dad. And there it is. Isn't there an internet rule (like Rule 34 for "sexing" a subject) that says every subject eventually gets compared to what the Nazis did? It's a good point though. ;-)	/r/MensRights	02/03/10 04:52 PM
4	Does anyone else think this needs to be changed? (NSFWish?) A better definition to use (before you get yourself in trouble ;-) with that one) is the legal definition of rape. Notice that the current (ie, subject to change) legal definition removes the use of physical duress - therefore including the possibility of mental or emotional duress with no physical threat - and includes any person and that the precise definition can vary by location. I believe that some US locales still do limit rape to woman-as-victim and some legal resources do the same (furth…	/r/MensRights	01/03/10 02:18 PM
1	Beating your cheating husband unconscious is empowering and good for the soul Correct. You responded to Schopenbecq and I asked whether "honor killings are never for infidelity". I must have misunderstood you in this exchange between us: Some honor killings are done for the exact same reason. (me) Honor killings are not done for the exact same reason. They are committed because a girl (often, sometimes even a boy) did not conform to what her (his) father/brother/uncle thought should be. Sometimes (and that more often than not) nothing short of just talking to a stranger. …	/r/MensRights	05/12/09 05:16 AM
1	Beating your cheating husband unconscious is empowering and good for the soul And you still did not say whether you think "what goes around comes around" (your words) applies when the genders are reversed Granted I did not say anything in that one. I did state in my comment a few comments down as much. I will take exception to that, as well. "What goes around, comes around" refers to a like-for-like case. If Tiger cheats on Elin, she feels justified in cheating on him. Elin escalated the case by beating him. So honor killings are never for infidelity? Where from my commen…	/r/MensRights	04/12/09 06:09 PM
1	Beating your cheating husband unconscious is empowering and good for the soul If I recall correctly, Cassio brought them up. I believe in an attempt to derail the conversation from two topics: 1) That she felt Elin's beating of Tiger was justified. 2) That she does not want to answer the question of whether she would just as vehemently defend TIGER if Elin had been the one to cheat and Tiger had beat her for it.	/r/MensRights	04/12/09 05:50 PM
1	Beating your cheating husband unconscious is empowering and good for the soul So honor killings are never for infidelity? I think you are in error. They CAN be for "nothing more than" (I understood what you meant, I think) talking to a stranger, but they also can be for actions a great deal more "dishonorable" (in their eyes). And you still did not say whether you think "what goes around comes around" (your words) applies when the genders are reversed - female infidelity followed by an assault from the male. Plus, I used the word "avoided" deliberately before - the questi…	/r/MensRights	04/12/09 05:06 AM
15	Beating your cheating husband unconscious is empowering and good for the soul Not surprisingly, an article written by a woman condoning violence against men as cathartic. If we took THE SAME article and changed the author to a man and reversed the genders (ex - change "Shutting up and smiling through a husband's humiliating infidelities..." to "Shutting up and smiling through a wife's humiliating infidelities..."), watch every feminist commentator in the media have a frothing frenzy. For the uninitiated in the audience, that is how you can determine bias in an article. If…	/r/MensRights	03/12/09 06:29 PM
5	I grasp that, technically, the plan criminalizes all male participants in heterosexual sex... Wait, what?! In a system of "guilty until proven innocent" (which applies to almost everything EXCEPT sex in the US), the default should be "She said 'yes'." Then the burden of proof is where it should be in our supposed justice system: On the accuser. That has its faults as well. Actual rapes of violence would be hard to prove occurred, for example. I still can't help thinking there has to be a "middle ground" somewhere.	/r/MensRights	09/10/09 12:51 AM
2	NY police sympathetic of woman who poured boiling water on unfaithful husband in his sleep - "she was hurt and angry ... he had treated her with such contempt." No mention of of DV in NY Daily News "No mention of DV..." The last paragraph says she was arrested on assault charges. "Domestic Violence" is not something that can be legally charged, it is a descriptor (an "adjective") for a type of violence. Assault was the appropriate charge. Whether or not she is appropriately punished is a different matter.	/r/MensRights	29/07/09 01:36 PM
1	Is that what a real man is supposed to look like? I just love how he uses Mirriam-Webster's definition of the word feminism and says that feminism = egalitarianism! Good evidence that "feminism" is a political term ONLY and not a social term is the fact that feminism has NO antonym - it has no opposite. In sociology, every system has an opposite viewpoint. FYI: The antonym of egalitarian is "elitist" - which is what most feminists and mysogynists (look it up) truly are.	/r/MensRights	28/04/09 05:50 PM
1	The Teen Rape "Double Standard" I doubt it would be possible, but: It would be good if Alan's lawyer DID NOT plea bargain and could arrange to get his trial to come AFTER Norma's. Then they could argue bias based on how the same prosecuting organization charged and prosecuted them differently.	/r/MensRights	20/03/09 06:18 PM
3	"It occurred to me that if 86 percent of adolescent suicides were girls, there would be a national commission to find out why." The American Association of Suicidology has an expert on female suicide but not on male suicide because funders aren't interested in studying boys and men. A troubling statistic, but I would have liked this article better if it did not end with feminist propoganda: "...then maybe we have a chance at changing the centuries of hard-wiring that makes boys and men so much more violent than women - whether toward others or toward themselves." Research has shown that to be a FALSE conclusion - women instigate violence more often than men. She would have been more correct to say that men are more "effectively" violent - when we intend to do damage, we do …	/r/MensRights	10/03/09 02:08 PM
7	Kidnap 3 kids for 14 Years? Claim abuse and get off scott-free. Since I live in MN and saw this on the news last night as a local story, I would have been pleased to see this story here EXCEPT for two things: 1. The kids back up her story of abuse. 2. The counter-charge the father made was that she was mentally unstable and unfit to be a mother. I think 14 years of raising 3 kids on her own show that his allegation is "likely to be" false (legal caveat). Before listing this as a "Men's Rights" issue, be sure to try to determine that the man WAS right. This s…	/r/MensRights	24/09/08 12:23 PM
