| 20 | 19 Year old College student faces two years in jail, after falsely accusing two football players of rape. She later confessed she lied about being sexually assaulted to get sympathy from a prospective boyfriendTechnically they didn't have to leave, they could've opted for expulsion. Not sure of the difference but obviously shit is fucked up enough that they chose to simply leave. Unfortunately, had they done the latter, I imagine this story would have had a happy ending for them and could claim wrongful dismissal of some sort. Ultimately, still fucked up all round. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 27/06/17 05:30 AM |
| 1 | French Reluctant to Become Paedohysteric Over Missing Teacher & 15 Year Old Sweetheartany PERSON man or woman who as a teacher sleeps with a student have commited a disgusting breach of trust. What is is that makes this disgusting? The teacher/student aspect, or the age aspect? Because the former is easily disproven with older teachers and students, and the latter is obviously not an issue in these countries with younger minimum ages. Are you refering to the sanctity of the teacher / student relationship or something like that? | /r/MensRights | 28/09/12 11:35 AM |

| 3 | Jill Filipovic, founder of feministe, is supporting circumcision of men and boys by using fraudulent HIV research.Even if the research is correct and it reduces the risk of AIDS, why do we want this done to babies without their consent? They aren't going to be having sex until their mid teens and onwards, surely if this is such a good deterrant they can just decide for themselves to have the procedure done?

| 19 | I was arrested for domestic battery...There's no need to tolerate it. Just make your point better. ie: His/her comment sounds like something based on purely anecdotal observation. Ask him/her to back up the claims in a way that makes them more credible if possible. Any failure to do so would sufficiently discredit the comment.

| 4 | Straight from the horse's mouth: "But there's no real evidence to suggest women being on a board makes the companies any better – what we're doing here is forcing an experiment."While she doesn't recognise herself as having less confidence than the men around her ("I've never been afraid to express my opinions") nor that children are a problem ("We live in an era of flexible working, give and take"), Carnwath does believe it's difficult for women to take that first major step of getting onto the non-executive board itself.

A lot of people there are considering this to be attempted rape, in that he is making aggressive threats in order to gain non-consensual sex. He is attempting to rape her, even though he hasn't physically touched her.

I could have been born into a far worse situation than what I got. But I won't begrudge anyone who wants to be (productively) angry.

I assume this issue has the possibility of being a lot more complicated that that. I also assume that seeing any quantifiable evidence either way would be very tricky.

She points out how this may have a detrimental effect on womens progress, but that, if true, is just statement of fact isn't it?

| 2 | Frightening case: Men in the military accused of sexual assault have to prove their innocenceThe military has recently criminalized surreptitiously recording a sex act between you and your partner, even for alibi purposes in a 2012 amendment to Article 120 of the UCMJ, so if a Servicemember produces a video, then he will probably receive non-judicial punishment. That was an interesting point. I can totally understand why, but it does seem to remove the possibility of some highly relevant evidence. | /r/MensRights | 30/04/12 09:04 AM |

| 1 | Are gender specific sales allowed?They could have an excess of women's-only stock (or any number of other economic reasons that have nothing to do with disenfranchising men). Or maybe they've discovered that females go spend-crazy when the word 'sale' is mentioned. In which case, they are taking advantage of women, not men. I wouldn't read too much into it, you'll go crazy and probably end up making up stuff in your head. Pick your battles. | /r/MensRights | 08/01/12 07:38 AM |
| 2 | Radical feminist here. Not looking to argue. Have a question.I'm not so sure it is as across-the-board as some in here might believe though. It doesn't really have to be across-the-board to instill fear and mistrust. It just has to be a possibility to change the behaviour of everyone who is potentially at risk. One example touted by some women is the notion that all men are potential rapists. Their interactions with men can be heaviliy influenced by this notion, regardless of their actual risk. | /r/MensRights | 08/01/12 07:32 AM |

If so, then you are just backing up your expresed interest in not having children by using some form of physical protection, no worse than using an "always-on condom". Switching it off may be more complex, but it can be done. If it is not reversible, then I would say the partner has a right to know that you are physically incapable of having children with them.

Nerves in the human body number in the many millions (trillions?). There seems to be an attempt to convince me that circumcision is wrong. I don't think it's ethically right, and seems mostly unneccesary, but there are cases where it may be required, and in all honesty I don't believe it has anywhere near the detrimental effects that other MR issues do. In short, I'm simply answering the OPs question. | /r/MensRights | 12/10/11 02:31 PM |

| 9 | Why do posts about Male Genital Mutilation in this subreddit have such low ratings?I'm cut, and while I don't believe it is the right thing to do from an ethical perspective, the actual outcome doesn't bother me at all. Other issues that get raised bother me a whole lot more, so I probably throw more votes in their direction. I certainly don't downvote circumcision posts, although to be honest, I have this vague feeling in my mind that some people are blowing it waaaaay out of proportion. No doubt I will have infuriated someone with that comment. | /r/MensRights | 12/10/11 05:42 AM |

| 5 | Women have no place in combat...(or do they?)Maybe the cultural sensibilities you mention (men being overly protective of women in this case) are simply reinforced by things like not allowing women into armed combat?

| 1 | I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do.But, from a rights point of view, if the roles were reversed, you would have the right to walk away from parenthood via adoption with zero legal or long term financial repercussions. If the father were to request and be granted custody in that situation, would she not have to pay support to him? Just an exploratory question, as I have no idea. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/11 08:58 AM |

She may want to continue with the child or she may not, but if he has made it clear that he wants no part of it, that's what she needs to base her decision on. And go it alone if she wants to. He failed to make that clear, and worse, led her to believe he was willing. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/11 08:48 AM |
| 1 | I'm now in my 8th month of an unplanned pregnancy and the father has informed me he no longer wants to be involved in the child's life. I'm so overwhelmed and confused I don't know what to do.This would cover the situation others are outlining whereby a woman can supposedly simply adopt-out at any time (though I doubt it is that simple). If a woman walks under this proposal, then she owes support to the father (who would still retain his part of the custody). I'm surprised it doesn't work that way now?

| 2 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…I don't think this is a "women rights over their body" issue at all. We (crazy politicians and right-wingers aside*) can all agree that what happens to a woman's body is ultimately nobody's business but hers. I think this is a much bigger issue, and one in which focusing on just the woman's bodily rights causes a certain myopia. There is a huge difference between a man leaving his child and a woman having an abortion: When the woman has an abortion, there is no longer a child to support. At the … | /r/MensRights | 29/03/11 08:49 AM |
| 7 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…The man can't just say "Oh, well you have the choice to get an abortion to not pay for the kid, I should have the right to say I'm not going to pay for the kid." I like the cut of your jib, but I would still ask "why not?". The child only exists at this point by virtue of the mother's decision, which should be based not on the understanding that the man will be contributing, but rather exactly the opposite. | /r/MensRights | 29/03/11 08:36 AM |
| 2 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…Women don't have a right to avoid the consequences of having sex - they have a right not to host another life in their body. This is a bigger issue than a woman's right to her own body, since women also have the right to adopt out the child without the fathers consent, thus absolving them of responsibility of raising a child for 18 or so years. Men do not have this option, nor in many cases, the legal right to prevent it. | /r/MensRights | 29/03/11 05:24 AM |
| 2 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…I agree, condoms would have been a smart move, but the situation has moved on to a question of equal rights. If a woman wants to have sex without the risk of having to raise children for the next 18 years, she is fully able to do so, regardless of whether she used contraception or not. | /r/MensRights | 29/03/11 05:09 AM |
| 10 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…I can see why it appears that way, but I think people are actually arguing for guys to have the same rights as women do (in most places) to walk away from the pregnancy, and all that it entails. If a woman pursues a pregnancy knowing that the guy does not want to be involved, she should do so with the knowledge that she is commiting herself, and only herself to this effort. That then, is her choice. Of course, things are not always able to be balanced. eg: if she doesn't want to continue the pre… | /r/MensRights | 29/03/11 04:55 AM |
| 15 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…By that logic, it could be argued that once a woman allows herself to be impregnated, she has implicitly agreed to commit to the pregnancy and raising the child, but this isn't always the case either. | /r/MensRights | 29/03/11 04:50 AM |
| 6 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…I agree, sort of. The kid was dumb, and there is responsibility that comes with fucking.

And if you do start to go back on your word, I feel they have every right to call you on it. | /r/MensRights | 01/09/10 01:15 AM |

It could be hoped that disrupting the timing of a divorce called in a time of anger or unhappiness might allow someone to reflect on why they are unhappy in that relationship, and how they might alter their attitudes or 'ways of being' so as to benefit more from it. Like a friend stopping you from doing something foolish in the heat of the moment. Of course, they may… | /r/MensRights | 31/08/10 11:21 AM |

It is rarely the result of random externalities that magically align in just right way so that you become happy.

She is holding her husband to his word. Ultimately though, success of that depends on how much he values his own word.

If there is a larger discrepancy between students from different socio-economic backgrounds than that based on gender, it makes sense to address that issue first. And 2.3%?
