1	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? 1) I'm not aware that his holster was insecure. 2) It's a felony to brandish a weapon in FL. 3) He was taken by surprise from behind. 4) Yep, but that doesn't justify Martin's attack. 5) Yep. 6) Yep. It has been.	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 10:56 PM
4	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? I assault people daily as part of my MMA training. You must be some career criminal if you go around punching people in the street. It's only a matter of time before someone shoots you. Or do you mean in the ring? Because if it's in the ring it's not assault. Inside the ring, I use a mix of Jun Kin Do, Ken Po, and Maui Thai. Not sure why you're getting all Internet tough guy on me but I find that people who talk big do so out of a need to feel important. my defensive technique is the 50 yard das…	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 10:17 PM
5	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? It's only stalking if there's malicious intent. The FBI cleared Zimmerman of racial motivations to the shooting so unless you have additional evidence then Zimmerman wasn't stalking. It was raining. People tend to stay inside. And Martin made it home but decided to wait outside in the rain by his house instead of going in. Then he decided to "walk back". Doesn't sound like the actions of a scared child who wants to get out of the rain to me.	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 09:51 PM
3	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? Being a pussy isn't illegal, assaulting someone is.	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 09:49 PM
4	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? You'd still be in violation of the law (probably guilty of assault.) You'd also trigger someone's right to self defense and they may shoot you.	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 09:48 PM
3	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? TM shouldn't be held to the same standard as an adult trained in proper neighborhood watch techniques, which do not include following or trying to find someone. And Zimmerman shouldn't be held to a higher standard than the law. Following someone isn't illegal, nor is trying to ascertain their position. Neither of those actions meet the legal standard of being an imminent threat. As far as him going back home you cant know that, you are referring to RJ statement when she stated he was near his ho…	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 07:36 PM
0	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? Best practices would have been to announce he was neighborhood watch We're talking about best practices with a firearm. If you want to diverge from that then best practices would have been for Martin to use the main entrance instead of jumping a fence and coming into the neighborhood between two buildings, in close proximity to someone's bedroom window. Best practices would also dictate that when Martin arrived home, as he did make it home, that he would have gone inside to safety and locked the…	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 05:41 PM
3	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? These are all facts that have come out in the investigation and trial. My belief in them isn't required. By presenting these facts to you I'm merely giving you an opportunity to educate yourself. That you choose to laugh it off and plug your ears is a sign of your maturity level and capacity for intellectual thought. i'm gonna go ahead and not engage with this any further Thank you. I don't like to waste my time on the willfully ignorant. on a forum that's supposed to be about men's rights. You …	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 02:27 PM
4	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? when you disregard the instructions of the 911 dispatcher First off, it was the non-emergency operator. Second, he complied with the operator's instructions. This is evidenced on the call when he says "okay", which is an affirmative response, and by his statement seconds later "he ran", which is past tense, and later when he says "I have no idea where this kid is." Further evidence is supplied by Rachel Jeantel (the girl Martin was on the phone with) as she says Martin said "I lost him" shortly …	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 02:11 PM
3	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? No. He was observing best practices and safety then too. He fired a single shot then re-holstered his weapon. When police arrived he put his hands up, announced he had a gun, and advised police as to it's location so they could confiscate it safely.	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 01:53 PM
3	The Zimmerman trial; a case of of presuming male hyper-agency? a reasonable person would consider dangerous as shown by his decision to bring a gun along. No. Carrying concealed is safe if you're trained in firearm safety and observe best practices, which Zimmerman was.	/r/MensRights	09/07/13 12:52 PM
1	Why is "victim-blaming" considered so much more horrific than the many other manifestations of the Just-World Hypothesis? I find it especially odd because we act similarly for people who've gone through worse (ie Trayvon Martin, Bradley Manning dependent on your political view, and others) Victim blaming is, often times, a misunderstanding. Here's an example of a discussion I had a while back. Context: A woman had seen someone speeding down her street when she was out walking her dog. She yelled something at them, presumably something about them slowing down and it wasn't entirely cordial. The driver slammed on the breaks, stopped, got out and shot her multiple times. She died. They got away. In an effort to use this as example of societal decay, I said, "that's why you don't yell…	/r/MensRights	25/10/12 10:37 PM
