| 2 | MRAs, what common MRA point/argument do you disagree with, and why?Just so you know, OP is wrong about the state footing the bill for maternity leave. WHen new moms take "maternity leave" in the United States, it is unpaid. | /r/MensRights | 07/09/16 06:46 AM |
| 1 | MRAs, what common MRA point/argument do you disagree with, and why?Nonsense. Corporate America accepts women taking parental leave but not men. I have not seen any proof of that. | /r/MensRights | 07/09/16 01:26 AM |
| 1 | MRAs, what common MRA point/argument do you disagree with, and why?I believe Amy Schumer admitted initiating and having sex with a guy that was so drunk he was nearly passed out (or something like that, maybe he was passed out). By most definitions that is rape especially if the genders were reversed. She laughed about it. But I also agree that not all drunk sex is rape like feminists like to think when it comes to men, but if she or he is nearly passed out, and there was no previous initiation or indication of consent? I'm fine with calling that rape, at the v… | /r/MensRights | 07/09/16 01:14 AM |
| 1 | MRAs, what common MRA point/argument do you disagree with, and why?Maybe people are downvoting because OP is incorrect. The United States does not have paid maternity leave. It is unpaid family leave, which fathers have the same right to take. Or maybe OP is in another country? WHenever a new mom takes time off from work, most just use the term "maternity leave" but it is unpaid. | /r/MensRights | 06/09/16 05:57 AM |
| 1 | MRAs, what common MRA point/argument do you disagree with, and why?You do know that maternity leave is not paid in the United States, right? It is taken as "family leave" which a father has the exact legal right to take as well. Note: "family leave" is the abbreviated term. The actual legal act is "The Family and Medical Leave Act" signed by Bill Clinton. And FMLA only applies to large companies and full time employees. Most women do not qualify. Of my wife and sisters who have had babies, none have ever received paid maternity leave. | /r/MensRights | 06/09/16 05:18 AM |

I don't know how often a cheat is attempted or successfully carried out, but I don't think you know either. The courts are very aware that cheats might be attempted and they have tightened the procedure to prevent cheating as best they can. Here is what I know: In order to cheat, in the way you suggest, one would have to get a friend that is willing to take the legal risk for no personal benefit to themselves, and the… | /r/MensRights | 14/08/16 07:28 PM |
| 1 | Pregnancy entrapment and child support?I realize you think she lied to him, but you should at least consider the possibility that he is lying to you, especially about the condom use and what she told him about her fertility. Most drunken encounters dont involve lengthy conversations. To others, especially the judge, it will not be so clear that she is the lyer....just putting it out there. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/16 06:01 AM |
| 1 | Pregnancy entrapment and child support?Court ordered DNA tests require that BOTH parents get tested. So that the mother cannot bring in a different baby and cheat the system. This is also why court DNA tests are more expensive compared to other DNA tests. They are performed in a controlled environment and require ID and a thumbprint and some testing fascilities take a picture of the person they take DNA from. Any attempts to cheat, I imagine would be prosecuted. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/16 05:35 AM |

| 1 | Woman Steals Ex-Boyfriend’s Sperm, Has Twins, Sues For Child Support…and WINS!yes. When I heard the mother and the attorney for the fertility clinic, it was obvious to me that he consented and participated in the conception of the children. It was also obvious that the man is uneducated and not very bright. He brought up the case in 2011 when the twins were young girls, and fertility treatment probably started about a year or so before the were born. With so many years gone by he had forgotten about some of the details, or his own stupidly just never comprehended all the … | /r/MensRights | 02/10/14 05:05 PM |

The guy is an idiot and is part of the problem. he willingly created a child when everything pointed to the women not being able to afford a child since they could not afford going through a clinic.

There is nothing denying a parent a DNA test on their child. A presumed father can request this in the hospital, it gets tricky if father is not on the birth certificate and mother is denying him a DNA test. In those situations a father has to go to the court and prove there is a chance he is a father and request DNA testing and a judge hopefully would force the mother to comply.

He showed up to the strangers house and produced some fresh sperm for them. I think they used a turkey baster of some sort.

Donor signed docs saying he would not be responsible and still not enough.Let's just say the state government lets it slide for this couple and gives out public assistance without any repayment from the sperm donor. Would that not open the doors for many couples (willingly raising children together) to commit welfare fraud by claiming mother is single and the father was only a sperm donor, that way they could keep the father's contributions as well as welfare handouts.

Answering an add on craigslist to donate sperm and then showing up at their house to do it without a doctor or anything is stupid. I doubt he did any checking to see if they could support a kid, he just purposely concieves a kid with one of them. If they could not afford a clinic, they likley cannot afford a kid.

He was found in contempt for not paying child support as outlined in his order. He was 8 months behind and thought he could avoid jail by paying up just before the contempt trial. he only paid under the threat of jail.

We also need to look and see if Russia misrepresented the mental health and needs of these children.

| 6 | Why is "keeping it in our pants" not an option?Most women do not want an abortion and most women live above the poverty line, so welfare would be a big step back for them if they became a single mother. So most women take precautions or don't have sex. Birth control can always fail. I imagine they take that into consideration before they have sex with random dudes. I notice a lifestyle expectation difference between slutty women and women who are selective, I suppose the risk of unintentional pregnancy has something to do with this.

Like state covered health insurance for uninsured minors, free-childcare for low income families (regardless of whether they are single parent of not), and subsidized nutrition programs (food stamps)?

| 0 | Feminist argument for reforming child-support laws and ending pregnancy entrapmentI think your suggestion goes too far in shifting all risk onto the female and infringes on the rights of the child to have both parents. In cases of accidental pregnancy each parent should provide equal care with no financial support given to either parent unless one negotiates their share if they are unable or unwilling. This would inhibit any motive to be deceptive by either partner and allow children to be cared for. Also provide incentive for both partners to practice birth control. | /r/MensRights | 10/02/13 06:09 AM |

| 1 | Thought experimentthe father is not allowed to take this route by himself, yet the mother is. Adoption requires the fathers signature. There are some loopholes in some states, but fathers can and have blocked adoptions.

Biological parents do not adopt their own children, and mothers are legally required to pay support to fathers if father has custody. | /r/MensRights | 18/08/12 05:57 PM |

| 6 | MRAs, where do you stand on pregancy and maternity leave?You are either not in the United State or under the false assumption that "maternity leave" is paid. The USA has no laws requiring PAID maternity leave, so employers do not offer it. When new or expecting mothers say they are taking "maternity leave" that is simply an explanation as to why they will take time off work. What we have is the "Family and Medical Leave Act", which applies equally to both men and women. Any time a man or woman has a life changing or medical issue they are allowed up t… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/12 08:48 PM |
| 3 | The school tried to justify only patting down guys at my graduation.Most graduations I have seen graduates are dressed in regular clothes. Most girls wear dresses, but not all, and the guys wear nice pants and shirts. A few people wear jeans. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/12 10:03 PM |

| 2 | I just explained the reality of being a man in this modern world to a teen boy.It also says the man's story does not add up. He said it was snowing and the girls were not wearing coats, so he offerred them a ride. The girls refute this. It happened in my area, and the local news ran video taken at the gas station the girls were exiting. it was not snowing and the girls were wearing coats. The man was caught in a lie and he pleaded guilty. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/12 05:16 AM |

| 0 | UK: 95% say parenting should be shared as shake up in family law to give dads better custody rights plannedthe important factor that needs to be considered is how often fathers ask or want 50/50 custody. It may be assumed in the MRM that all fathers would want this, but from what I know it is only a small percentage of fathers that do. I think I read somewhere that only a small percentage of fathers ask for full or 50/50 custody, which would certainly account for the high number of mothers receiving more custody. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/12 12:16 AM |
| 1 | HOME SCHOOL STATISTICS: There is no achievement gap between home schooled boys and girls (unlike the public schools)You're pretty much guaranteed an ignorant pupil That statement is probaly why. The example you gave of your homeschooled students is too narrow to form a generalization about all homeschoolers. I have found homeschoolers to be very factual in there knowledge base. You also say you homeschooled, while critisizing all other homeschoolers which translates to this: I homeschool = good, others who homeschool = bad | /r/MensRights | 11/04/12 10:01 PM |
| 2 | Ultimately, how much of a say does a father have if his son's mother wants the boy to be circumcised?Good question. Although I typically see it the other way, as fathers wanting to circumcisize and the mother doesn't. So I would like to know how much power one parent has over the other. This could be extended to other things such as vaccinations. I suppose these things should have been discussed before marriage. But what about unforeseen situations such as when/if to removing a child from life support? (I am in no way saying circumcision if comparible to these things, but I am noting the fact t… | /r/MensRights | 10/04/12 05:44 PM |
| 7 | HOME SCHOOL STATISTICS: There is no achievement gap between home schooled boys and girls (unlike the public schools)Almost anyone can homeschool their kids in the USA. In my state there are a few requirements about education levels of the parent and record keeping, but there is no official agency to check, so homeschooling parents do not need to report to anyone. The government would only get involved if there was reason to suspect the parents of not educating their children. I think states make their own laws regarding homeschooling so some are more strict than others, but I do not believe any require a teac… | /r/MensRights | 22/03/12 03:44 AM |
| 1 | A flowchart showing how legal parental relationships should be handled. Made to responsibly handle personal rights and responsibilities. Please offer any suggestions!I appologise if I have misunderstood. The flow chart appears small on my screen, so it is barely ledgible.

| 1 | A flowchart showing how legal parental relationships should be handled. Made to responsibly handle personal rights and responsibilities. Please offer any suggestions!Once he opts out, how or why would father have equal parenting rights once the baby is born?? What type of logic gets you to that point?? it looks like you give the father a second chance to adopt after he opts outs. I think this second chance is based on what seems reasonable or what men would like, but it is not logical. You can't get everything just because you want it. This is a point men will have to let go, or nothing else will make sense. Up until this point LPS emphasise how unequal ever… | /r/MensRights | 18/03/12 08:10 AM |
