24	Sexual Harassment and the Loneliness of the Civil Libertarian Feminist -- "The Obama administration, like the administrations of so many colleges and universities, implicitly approaches sexual harassment and sexual violence cases with a presumption of guilt."		jfgiv	/r/MensRights	06/04/11 07:34 PM

1	Barnes & Noble apologizes to Scottsdale man forced to leave children's section Based on my experience in retail (clothing, not books), it's the person who decides what goes where in the store in order to drive up sales. What skirts go next to what tops, what jeans go near what shirts, what's at the front of the store and what gets relegated to the back. I worked in NYC, so every store had an in-house merchandiser, but I know that a lot of smaller markets would have one regional merchandiser who was responsible for a number of stores, and if you weren't directly involved wi…	/r/MensRights	06/06/12 04:56 AM
6	Inviting a girl to coffee is "potential sexual assault" Haiku use morae, Not syllables. That is just A misconception.	/r/MensRights	05/07/11 10:40 PM
14	Must See Video: A "kid" confronts a cop, gets arrested, but won't be silenced I feel confident r/libertarian would like it as well.	/r/MensRights	17/05/11 06:03 PM
14	Feminist divorce lawyer admits to the abuse of restraining orders against men False rape accusations are bad because they reduce the credibility of true rape victims and because they destroy lives.. It doesn't have to be a dichotomy. The same can be said for unnecessary orders of protection.	/r/MensRights	26/04/11 06:00 PM
4	Is it sexist that women lose the right to consent to sex if they have have been drinking? False. It is considered Rape in the Second Degree per Article 130.30 of the New York Penal Code. To wit: A person is guilty of rape in the second degree when: 1. being eighteen years old or more, he or she engages in sexual intercourse with another person less than fifteen years old; or 2. he or she engages in sexual intercourse with another person who is incapable of consent by reason of being mentally disabled or mentally incapacitated. Rape in the second degree is a class D felony. You'll als…	/r/MensRights	24/11/10 07:44 AM
3	Fun self-victimization: Swedish Feminists burn $13,000 of their own money in protest over their fictitious wage gap. Sweden's Riksbank confirmed on Tuesday that destroying currency is not illegal. Until 1980 there was a law that forbade the destruction of coins but this law is no longer in force. And KatZilla is above reading, apparently.	/r/MensRights	07/07/10 05:56 PM
1	A request to all: please don't submit any more content from (sankakucomplex.com). The stories use sexual anime with underage kids to illustrate them, which is questionably legal in many places. I was looking for it before I got to your post. Turn out the dude pled guilty, though.	/r/MensRights	24/03/10 12:13 AM
1	Appeals Court Says Swearing in Text Messages Isn’t a Crime : “Fuck u u stupid fuckin girl!,” read one of texts, in part. One of the girl’s friends told police about the texts, leading to the boy’s arrest. He was held four days in juvenile hall. Well, at least this kid was let off. This story was posted in /r/libertarian a short while back. It's the only reason I remembered Chaplinsky and Cohen. And he's still being charged. edit: formatting.	/r/MensRights	04/11/09 05:11 AM
1	Appeals Court Says Swearing in Text Messages Isn’t a Crime : “Fuck u u stupid fuckin girl!,” read one of texts, in part. One of the girl’s friends told police about the texts, leading to the boy’s arrest. He was held four days in juvenile hall. Well, I am a lay person as well -- I took an undergraduate caselaw class on civil liberties. BUT...the way I understand it, Chaplinsky invoked a concept of "fighting words"...by calling someone a "goddamn fascist" (especially in 1942) to their face, it was essentially akin to disturbing the peace. Something about inciting a rational person to violence? Fuck the Draft, from Cohen, was clearly a political statement, and thus considered protected speech -- because they interpreted the intent of the…	/r/MensRights	04/11/09 03:34 AM
4	Wiccan Employee Files Sexual And Religious Discrimination Lawsuit Against Google - read the complaint for perks allowed to female employees but not male employees. According to the complaint, all was rosy for the next two years until a female transgender employee joined the group Bara worked for. Bara’s boss, a woman named Pam Sohn, allegedly made inappropriate comments about this woman, and ridiculed her sexual preference. Bara complained about the comments to Sohn, who Bara says turned on him and began to treat him, and the other men in the office unfairly. Seems like a case of one powertripping boss more than anything else.	/r/MensRights	03/11/09 09:25 PM

One of the girl’s friends told police about the texts, leading to the boy’s arrest. He was held four days in juvenile hall. He's right you know. Compare Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire to Cohen v. California. Calling someone a goddamned fascist: Unprotected. Wearing a jacket that says Fuck the Draft: Protected.	/r/MensRights	03/11/09 06:08 PM
–	Date-rape drugs are largely an urban myth used as an excuse by women who booze themselves into a stupor As I've said above, I think a lot of people are missing the point of this study. It's not to say that daterape drugs are a myth, just that their use is grossly exaggerated. Not being a British Journal of Criminology subscriber myself, I can't actually read the report, but as per legolas-the-elf above, based on two studies (here and here), actual cases are fairly low. To wit: This paper outlines the toxicology results from 1014 cases of claimed drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) analysed at t…	/r/MensRights	27/10/09 10:06 PM
10	Date-rape drugs are largely an urban myth used as an excuse by women who booze themselves into a stupor Not a single person I know could tell where to get any GHB That's all well and good, but how many people do you know would actually try to get some for the purposes of date rape? Not a single person I know would know where to get heroin, but that doesn't mean it's not around. I think the point people are missing in this article is that it's not saying drinks don't get spiked, it's saying that that's not the main issue. Kind of like strangerdanger pedophilia: it exists, but a child's much more li…	/r/MensRights	27/10/09 08:13 PM
