| 3 | Retirement age for men in Russia is 63 with 64 years of life expectancy, while its 58 for women with 75 years of life expectancy. Average woman gets to enjoy 17 years without labour while men only 1 year!!! Why is retirement gap so rarely talked about in MRM???That's not how life expectancty works. In 2014 (last published year at mortality.org), life expectancy for women at age 58 was 23 additional years. For men at 63, it was 14 additional years. Your point is generally correct that 23 > 14. There is no need to use poorly interpreted data like 1 vs 17 to make your point | /r/MensRights | 10/03/24 04:23 PM |

The oversampling only serves to reduce the variance of the measured estimates of the smaller group. | /r/MensRights | 31/01/11 08:50 AM |

| 0 | What feminism is about: over-representing womenRight. They could be asking about over-sampling for the very specific purpose of deceiving by trafficking the results. They could also make the whole thing up. And we should presume that all knives have for primary purpose to be used in stabbings. Sometimes, there just isn't a conspiracy at play. Get over it. | /r/MensRights | 31/01/11 08:45 AM |
| 16 | What feminism is about: over-representing women"over-representing" in this case means polling more than the proportion to obtain more precise statistical quantities of a particular subgroup. It's a bit akin to surveying part of a map with a magnifier to get better resolution because the detail is smaller. The US census does it all the time; it's the most cost-effective way of increasing accuracy. The overall results would in no way be skewed by this process. It's just a statistical tool. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 08:58 AM |
| 3 | Why are insurance companies able to offer difference rates on the basis on sex (women have lower rates) but not based on race?The question should rather be why rating on race is not allowed. Rating on just about anything else is, including sex, age, zip code, educational achievement, social groups (AARP for instance), etc. Race is just a very special category; you're just not allowed. So this is not a Mens Rights issue, it's a race issue. Men are charged more because men cost more. P.S. Presuming you were talking about car insurance? For health insurance, 'public policy' considerations come into play. Note the ' '. | /r/MensRights | 20/10/10 09:41 PM |

| 5 | Laker Matt Barnes Arrested for domestic violence. If they were both injured why weren't they both arrested?It is entirely possible that one party committed a crime while the other did not. If one party is only using reasonable force in self-defense, it has committed no crime. The fact that one party in this case seems to have terminated the 911 call kind of maybe perhaps a little suggests the remote possibility that that is exactly what happened. How about we let the courts have a look before we claim sexism here? | /r/MensRights | 10/09/10 01:18 AM |
| 1 | How does one go about getting an injunction against the mother to prevent your child from being circumcised? Do courts even grant these?The Equal protection argument seems a bit dubious. Still worth a shot if all else fails, but I think that the religion claim does not allow a parent to mutilate a child over the objection of the other parent. Irreparable harm + cost/benefit analysis = TRO, and most likely permanent injunction. | /r/MensRights | 01/09/10 08:06 PM |
| 3 | Lying to get sex: Is it rape?rape is when someone takes something from you that you were unwilling to give them, and if you're willing but unaware of facts that would make you unwilling, it's the same thing. How about you use the word violation to describe that, since rape is a legal word with a legal definition? I'd be fine with that. Also, a second issue: you make it all about the subjective perception of the victim. What is an alleged perpetrator to do if he or she cannot read the mind of the victim? What if I am neglige… | /r/MensRights | 22/07/10 05:53 PM |
| 5 | Lying to get sex: Is it rape?It's not a rape in all jurisdictions. And the common law makes a distinction between to kinds of deception: one where you lie about the very nature of the act, and one where you lie about collateral things. If you lie and say that "this is not sex, it's treatment for your acne", it's rape. If you lie and say you're left-handed to induce a woman to have sex (I'm sure the fetish is out there), it would not be rape. Let me be clear however: lying is wrong. And deceiving someone to have sex is wrong… | /r/MensRights | 22/07/10 04:08 PM |
| 2 | Why Is It Legal to Charge Men More for Car Insurance?Discriminating on gender is about as wrong as discriminating on race, religion, or sexuality Well, in US law, there actually is a gradient. Discriminating on race is almost never allowed. See 13th Amendment. Discrimination on sex is still usually not allowed, but it can be done. The evidence and purpose one has to show is less than for race, though. As for religion and sexuality, private actors certainly can discriminate. | /r/MensRights | 29/06/10 06:11 PM |

| 2 | List of anti-men discrimination.I have to take issue with car insurance costing more. That's actually quite fair. Just like paying more for life insurance. The rates are set according to underlying risk. Males have more accidents (and maybe costlier accidents). You can't really blame anyone for that except the empirical evidence. | /r/MensRights | 19/04/10 04:34 AM |
| 1 | Repost from r/Canada: Supreme Court overturns sex conviction in bizarre case where woman withdraws consent after an argument.Idiot.

| 2 | Rape should not include regretted sex, obviously, but I am curious as to the opinions about the following.The act is sexual intercourse. That's the first sentence of the statute. The definite article "the" in section can only refer to something that has been defined already. "[...] an act of sexual intercourse" is the only act mentioned. You're trying to make "The act" refer to 'whatever act was consented'. The qualification "essential characteristic of the act" is very limiting. Were it absent, you could argue about what is and isn't a characteristic of the act. You're not a real blond? Those were … | /r/MensRights | 07/04/10 06:31 AM |
| 1 | Rape should not include regretted sex, obviously, but I am curious as to the opinions about the following."I was saying that those two steps alone are not the most valuable parts of an addition of law to a discussion."

Mistake #1: Mixing criminal law (rape) with civil law (contracts). Mistake #2: In contracts, there is no 'consent'. There is only a 'meeting of the minds'. Mistake #3: you cannot enter into a contract for sexual relations (save in that part of Nevada, and maybe Rhode Island). Lesson: don't use legal sounding words that you do not understand.

| 2 | Rape should not include regretted sex, obviously, but I am curious as to the opinions about the following."(C) Was not aware, knowing, perceiving, or cognizant of the essential characteristics of the act due to the perpetrator's fraud in fact." Is wearing a condom an "essential characteristic of the act"? I would say no, since one can have sex with or without a condom. It just might be that, under this CA statute, the only actions are for assault (criminal) and battery (civil tort). But then again, I got a lousy grade in crim law. | /r/MensRights | 07/04/10 03:46 AM |

"I believe that "Rape" is the forced taking of another against their will in a violent and brutal manner." Two statements: one strong and absolute, the other waffly. The first one may or not be correct. The second one is definitely wrong. Has nothing to do with brutality or violence; it's about consent. If someone is asleep, drunk, or incapable of consent for reasons of mental defect or age, it is rape, however gentle you are. And lack of consent does not require forceful refusa… | /r/MensRights | 06/04/10 11:51 PM |
| 3 | Facebook feminist asks: 'Should Men be charged with a crime for having an ejaculation inside a woman without wearing a condom'It would not be rape. Rape is penetration without consent. It would be however battery (tort). There are some cases on the books for sex without adequate disclosure of STD status. The woman did not consent to 'that kind' of contact, so it qualifies as "intentional infliction of harmful or offensive contact to the person". So rape, probably no. Battery (which gets you money damages), most definitely. | /r/MensRights | 13/11/09 01:25 AM |
| 4 | There is eight times as much money spent on specific female health issues as on male ones. Women are screened for breast cancer and cervical cancer [...] but there is no screening programme for prostate cancer, which kills four times as many men as cervical cancer kills women. (UK, 2001)Just to make matters a bit more complicated (and I'm not saying spending disparities are not important or significant): the vast majority of gender-neutral research is in fact not so gender-neutral after all. For almost all those neutral cases (like heart disease or diabetes), pharmaceutical or behavioral research is performed on healthy males aged x1 to x2. The results are extrapolated to and presumed valid for females. This may not be true in all cases, and certainly isn't in some cases (which… | /r/MensRights | 12/11/09 05:09 AM |
