1	A date asked if she should falsely accuse her ex of rape, I obviously told her fuck no, but apparently she's done it... I think it's fine so long as it is restricted to their own relationship. It's when it's turned into laws that it causes issues. Imagine if every slighted wife could retroactively accuse their husbands of multiple counts of rape and sexual assault because of this stance on affirmative consent. Not to mention the blurred lines if we ever actually became progressive enough that both men and women needed to give affirmative consent - if nothing is explicitly said, then who raped who?	/r/MensRights	24/05/18 12:50 AM
1	A date asked if she should falsely accuse her ex of rape, I obviously told her fuck no, but apparently she's done it... We know how to communicate in reality, but we also hear about the prevalence of both actual rape and false rape accusations. As a result some people feel uncomfortable saying an overt no in case the other party becomes violent, and others want an overt yes both so that they don't cross boundaries when they don't mean to and also so they can't be accused of purposefully doing so. The argument above is just taking this to the illogical extreme. As you said, relationships have far more nuances and …	/r/MensRights	23/05/18 08:23 PM
1	A date asked if she should falsely accuse her ex of rape, I obviously told her fuck no, but apparently she's done it... Yes that is exactly what I'm saying. But I'm also saying that if he went to kiss me and I moved away or said no, he wouldn't kiss me and it wouldn't be an issue. But hey if you want to check in with each other every time you are 'escalating', you do you. That's the joy of a consensual relationship - you define it between yourselves, not based on what overtly PC people on the internet think. I'm not assuming ill intent from being challenged, I'm assuming rudeness when a simple 'this point is pert…	/r/MensRights	23/05/18 11:17 AM
3	A date asked if she should falsely accuse her ex of rape, I obviously told her fuck no, but apparently she's done it... This is a fantastic example of philosphy that works on paper but does not apply to real life. It's great that men are asking for consent more often, that is true, but it's ridiculous to assume that they should be constantly rechecking for every interaction. I've been with my husband for almost ten years, he doesn't need to walk in every day and ask to kiss me hello when the answer has been yes the past roughly 3650 times assuming it's only once per day, when in reality it is far more than that. …	/r/MensRights	23/05/18 11:06 AM
1	A date asked if she should falsely accuse her ex of rape, I obviously told her fuck no, but apparently she's done it... I disagree that they're coming close to saying that married women can't say no to sex. The thing about an intimate relationship is that you are aware of that person's personal boundaries. If you are aware that they consent to you kissing them normally, then it is not assault for you to attempt to kiss them. It is assault, however, if they say or show that they currently don't want that and you choose to ignore that request and try to keep doing it anyway. It's the same as once you have that affi…	/r/MensRights	23/05/18 10:44 AM

9	Student Stops Church Shooting and Is Shot by Cops, But You Didn’t Hear About It As a non-American may I ask how this works in terms of health insurance? Does the government pay for this kid's medical bills since they shot him? Or does he have to sue them if he wants them to pay?	/r/MensRights	23/02/18 10:51 AM
2	Amy Schumer, who admitted to taking advantage of a drunk man in college to bost her self-esteem, criticizes Aziz. Hypocrite! I think it's also worth pointing out that she talks about him being soft. So even if this point was valid - which it really really isn't - then it still wouldn't count in this case.	/r/MensRights	02/02/18 09:22 AM
6	Mom’s controversial ban on husband bathing daughters: ‘I just don’t feel comfortable’ My husband and I tried our best to cover everything that might be a make or break scenario based on our beliefs before we got married and before we had a kid. All the usual: vaccinations, methods of discipline, etc. was covered, but unfortunately you can't predict every situation that might come up and in most cases the ones you miss are ones that seem so obvious you don't even think of it. So I didn't cover whether or not he could bathe our child before we had one because why the fuck would I e…	/r/MensRights	31/12/17 03:36 AM
9	When a male is in an abusive relationship its funny of course But the problem is bigger than just what you're expressing. Just because she's not harming him in public doesn't mean he's not being harmed and doesn't mean she has no way of harming him. There is definitely a threat and she is making it clear with her actions. It's harder for her to harm him but not at all impossible, even without weapons. Do you think a typical woman's nails wouldn't hurt if used on skin, or even worse in someone's eyes? The way she's hitting him in the face could easily exten…	/r/MensRights	17/10/17 06:47 AM
16	When a male is in an abusive relationship its funny of course This is why women are more likely to use a weapon than a man is, removing the disadvantage. And given the cultural expectations that a man should not harm a woman, men who are victims of domestic violence end up equally incapable of defending themselves for fear of societal repurcussions, or for fear of hurting the woman more than intended. It's commonly seen in media that women will throw objects at men in arguments and it is, like in this video, used as a form of entertainment. But it isn't vi…	/r/MensRights	17/10/17 12:39 AM
3	Husband working 16 hours shifts for 7 days was told by his wife to sleep on the couch, then finds him dead the next morning. Not to mention that if at the very least she had let him sleep in his own bed, there was actually a chance she could have saved him. I started choking in my sleep only a few weeks ago and it didn't wake me up, however it did wake my husband up as he was right there beside me. He was able to wake me up and help me out, but if I had kicked him out on the couch for any reason then maybe I would have ended up in the same position as this guy. Of course, there is a chance as well she wouldn't have be…	/r/MensRights	12/07/17 02:10 AM
5	Let's talk about the reasons why we all came to the Men's Rights Movement in the first place, what specifically pushed us all here. A lot of this I realised retrospectively, but it all lead me to where I am. I am one of three children, I'm female with an older sister and an older brother. My father has always been very stand-offish toward my brother, and my brother always got in trouble or called out for far, far more minor things than my sister and I. Looking back on videos of when we were kids, I started trying to defend my brother from a very early age. I ended up leaving home at sixteen not too long after an explosive ar…	/r/MensRights	04/03/17 03:18 AM
2	Should Men Be Able to Opt Out of Fatherhood? Men should be allowed to opt-out, and women should then decide whether or not to keep the child after the man's decision. Yes, it sucks for a kid to be raised without a dad. But is it fair to blame that fact entirely on the man if the woman still decides to keep the child when aware of the man's decision? Absofuckinglutely not. Equal participation in the act that makes a child should easily equate to equal decision making when the result goes pear shaped. Yes it can be complicated but I swear if…	/r/MensRights	04/11/16 01:15 PM
2	Why is it ok in the workplace to have women's special interest groups? In Australia, and likely in other countries as well, there is an exception in the discrimination laws that applies when offering support or services to a group of people with particular characteristics protected by law. So for one case, it is currently considered that women are more discriminated against than men, and therefore this group can legally discriminate by not allowing men in their group. This can even apply to employment - it is not illegal to refuse to hire a fully qualified and suit…	/r/MensRights	03/07/16 12:29 AM
