4	Australia's rape Kafka-trap confirmed: you can plead innocent, but dont dare suggest your accuser is lying. Man punished for defending accusations of sexual abuse - the final pillar of a fair trial has been abolished after standard of evidence, presumption of innocence and burden of proof have gone. Well, this is now speaking at a point where the person has been found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. So the Court is now proceeding on the basis he isn't innocent.	/r/MensRights	24/04/17 11:42 PM
12	"My son's life is not worth food stamps" - father furious after the woman who killed his son avoids jail despite a man receiving 5 years in prison for stealing food stamps that same day In the same way that this sentence was justified once we had all the info, for all we know the food stamps sentence was justified too. This guy obviously wanted to make as sensational a comparison as possible, and so would plainly not mention any aggravating factors in that sentence.	/r/MensRights	09/01/16 08:58 AM
4	A female physician had an affair with a male physician. No intercourse took place, only oral sex. She secretly took the sperm from her cheeks to impregnate herself. She later sued for child support and won. That's how the Soviet Union was able to invade the Ukraine without any actions being taken. Huh? The Soviet Union never invaded Ukraine. (Do you mean Russia? The Soviet Union hasn't existed in almost 25 years.)	/r/MensRights	08/05/15 01:52 PM
1	Teen charged with sexting girlfriend will be forced to get an erection via an injection and be photographed by police for evidence Well, the "spirit of the law" (as well as the letter) as far as the federal government is concerned is most definitely that the feds have no business regulating ages of consent. I agree that Rome and Juliet laws are appropriate, but making demands that they be implemented in entirely improper ways helps nobody.	/r/MensRights	09/07/14 11:23 PM
2	Teen charged with sexting girlfriend will be forced to get an erection via an injection and be photographed by police for evidence How is it a federal issue? The federal enumerated powers do not include ages of consent.	/r/MensRights	09/07/14 09:30 PM
2	Female Tenants Yes, but what if they're being discriminated against because they no longer have those parts? In that case they're clearly not being discriminated against because of their birth sex, they're being discriminated against because of something else, which is probably more aptly described under the heading "gender" than "sex".	/r/MensRights	28/05/11 03:01 PM
2	Female Tenants I think part of the point is that it helps capture transexuals and the like, whereas "sex" isn't so clear in such a case.	/r/MensRights	28/05/11 12:46 PM
2	19-year old guy has sex with 16-year old girlfriend. Girl's father drags him to court for kidnapping and rape. Girl says the sex was consensual. Boy gets three years for rape. In India? I really don't think he cares who sits on the US supreme court.	/r/MensRights	01/02/11 05:12 PM
2	Woman makes twenty false claims against various men, and she will not spend a minute behind bars How is she going to ruin anyone else's life? She's known to the authorities for having this problem, so I think it safe to say there's not going to be any witchhunt of the next guy she accuses (if anyone). It also appears she may be married, so her husband may be able to supervise her now her problem is fully apparent. However much you may have an understandable desire for retribution, this is a sick woman, not an evil one. You don't just lock up people over crazy ravings, it has to be used as a…	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 10:31 PM
1	Woman makes twenty false claims against various men, and she will not spend a minute behind bars Punishment is for people who have knowingly committed an act that amounts to a criminal offence. The finding here was that, because of her mental illness, she believed her accusations were true. What does it achieve to punish her under those circumstances? Unless you're proposing that insanity defences be abolished for all crimes, why shouldn't it be available to a woman in this case? (I concede this likely wasn't an insanity defence for technical purposes, but rather a lack of a mental element,…	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 09:04 PM
1	Woman makes twenty false claims against various men, and she will not spend a minute behind bars Umm... you haven't really made an argument, just dropped a link and left, so I have no idea what to say.	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 08:56 PM
2	Woman makes twenty false claims against various men, and she will not spend a minute behind bars I'm saying in the context of things like rape accusations - that the accused's identity should be protected because there really are crazy women who will just accuse wildly. Heck, I'm going to agree with you right there. I wouldn't even need to go to the "because some women are crazy" step, or say that the punishment or non-punishment of this accuser is an issue. There are also women who make calculated malicious accusations, and women who are simply honestly incorrect in their accusations (eg i…	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 08:47 PM
3	Woman makes twenty false claims against various men, and she will not spend a minute behind bars Because "crazy" is no excuse for men who are vilified in rape cases; in fact, men with diminished mental abilities end up in jail more times than not because they don't have the wherewithal to properly defend themselves from the charges. Insanity is a legal defence to any crime, including rape, and so it should be. If there are practical problems in that prosecutors or judges are unwilling to believe insanity defences, then that's a problem that should be addressed. In the interest of gender equ…	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 08:41 PM
2	Woman makes twenty false claims against various men, and she will not spend a minute behind bars Why is it impossible for a crazy person to have an elaborate delusion? It sounds entirely plausible to me, even if I'm not an expert in the area (and it would appear the people who were experts thought it plausible too). If a woman is making implausible stories against 20 people, she's obviously not doing it for any benefit to herself, or as part of any other remotely rational plan, since if she were sane she'd realise she would be called out for sure. It seems far more plausible to me that some…	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 08:12 PM
3	Woman makes twenty false claims against various men, and she will not spend a minute behind bars I'm not really sure I understand your argument. Some men and some women are fucking nuts, as in suffering of a mental disorder, and they need to be treated appropriately. It's not a weakening of my anti-murder stance if I think a crazy person who kills another as a result of their disorder should receive treatment rather than imprisonment. The only difference here is that because her delusions pose no apparent ongoing threat to others (especially now the police know about her), there's no need t…	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 08:04 PM
-4	Woman makes twenty false claims against various men, and she will not spend a minute behind bars Should she? If this is the extent of her disorder, and she is otherwise capable of living a normal life without posing a danger to others, how does it benefit anyone to lock her up? Trying to deal with her in the community costs everyone far less and has an infinitely better prospect of her eventually being cured.	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 08:01 PM
7	Woman makes twenty false claims against various men, and she will not spend a minute behind bars To be fair, it appears she's not spending any time behind bars because she was found to basically be nuts. People who try to frame men for rapes deserve whatever they get, but it looks like this woman wasn't trying to do that, she was so out of it that she didn't know what she was doing.	/r/MensRights	13/01/11 03:44 PM
1	Man secretly videos sex; saves himself from false rape charges. The general rule (at least in my jurisdiction) is that the defence has no obligation to show its hand at all, with the sole exception of alibi defences.	/r/MensRights	07/07/10 11:27 AM
