| 2 | My biggest question for MRAs: truly curiousI do contend that many men would find being a woman offensive, though Yes, of course there would. And I'm sure there would be many women who would feel the same about becoming a man. My response was in reply to the implication that all such choices would be weighted as zero-sum. this coming from the fact that society actively demeans men for doing stereotypically "female" things (sewing, dancing, even wearing pink) A man that switches their gender to a woman would no longer be ruled by their pre… | /r/MensRights | 21/08/14 01:10 AM |

What are some examples of MRAs demonizing women for fighting for rights that they deserve but are unduly being denied? If you can acknowledge that you wouldn't want to be a woman When given a singular choice of binary options, to choose one thing over another is not the same as saying that one would specifically not want the other.

They just want guys to never have sex with girls who are even a little tipsy.Every time we talk about SRS(/AMR/etc.) a troll gets its tusks.

Problem solved: Jews are only 1.7% of the United States population.

If that became a thing?Although it is reasonable that a woman mustn't be compelled to abort, if the opportunity for a man to resign their obligations a potential avenue of coercion would exist. The overwhelming reason that a man would attempt to coerce a woman in to abortion would be that he doesn't wish to be a parent. That reason would be nullified if he had the option to opt out of parenthood as we are discussing. I would expect attempts at coercion by men to drop if legal equality was put in place.

The default is to see a pregnancy through to birth, but the woman can choose to take the other path, even if the reason for that choice is simply because she doesn't wish to be a mother.

You started your comment by citing sources that say "financial abortion" is a horrible idea (And said that only activists "worthy of the name" agree with this position, a fallacy of presupposition), but which of the sources simultaneously support the current legal reality which gives women options to abort their parental obligations? You need to address the legal double standard. If a woman post-… | /r/MensRights | 31/03/11 10:02 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.So the situation is that she wants to give the child up for adoption, but the father wants to have custody of the child, so she signs away her parental rights and he is granted sole custody? And the question is whether she would then have to pay child support? My understanding is that child support is determined by a judge. Looking through the lens of an MRA I would assume that a judge would be lenient on a mother, but I can't recall any situations that match this one, so it's just a biased gues… | /r/MensRights | 31/03/11 09:19 AM |
| 0 | 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.The "financial abortion" thing is something rejected by many men's right activists, and all parent/children's rights activists worthy of the name. Just because that's the case doesn't make their positions logical. To grow up knowing you were rejected by your biological father is afwul - you can bet a good part of the next generation of cluster-d types are being created that way. But it's somehow acceptable to grow up knowing your mother put you up for adoption or legally abandoned you at a safe … | /r/MensRights | 31/03/11 09:03 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.So you would do away with mothers' current options of abortion, adoption and safe haven abandonment? Or make them require the consent of both parents? Or..? Those options could not continue to exist at the mothers' discretion and simultaneously make what you're saying more equitable for fathers. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/11 08:54 AM |
| 2 | 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.Given that you had an abortion ten years ago due to your life situation, I'll assume that you understand his point of view when he says he's not at a place in his life where he wants to be a new parent. He is stating his desire to exercise the same sort of rights you exercised when you walked away from becoming a mother ten years ago. I agree that it's really shitty that he's supposedly doing this only after changing his mind about the pregnancy seven months in to the process. But, from a rights… | /r/MensRights | 31/03/11 08:38 AM |
| 5 | Looks like pretending to be a crazy misogynist was too much work for Cliffor.Do you really think that just because I'm a woman I would walk right by? That is the most common reaction, yes. The reactions to female-on-male violence range from indifference to, "He must have deserved it," to, "You go girl!" Even from a male cop. Your willingness to assist a man from being attacked by a woman puts you in the extreme minority. | /r/MensRights | 26/03/11 07:15 PM |
| 1 | 8 Reasons Why The "Gender Pay Gap" Is A Total ShamAnecdotally, at the last company I worked for the HR department set the pay scale for positions. Managers could provide input, but it was the final call of HR. Quote Wikipedia's Human Resources article: Key functions ...

| 19 | 8 Reasons Why The "Gender Pay Gap" Is A Total ShamGiven that companies are willing to hire illegal aliens and ship jobs overseas to improve the bottom line, if they could really hire a fully capable female workforce for 75 cents on the male dollar, they would have a competitive advantage for doing so. Why aren't all companies completely dominated with this cheap labor force? And isn't the HR field predominantly female? HR sets pay, ensures fairness, etc. If women were really being under paid, women themselves would be their own oppressors. | /r/MensRights | 13/03/11 04:36 PM |
| 30 | Discussion on in-gender.com (found in r/WTF) about "accidental" pregnancy. Really disturbing.She refused to accept that was the case and insisted that I was compensating for something in my life e.g. a lack of achievement! Not the case grr! ... 2 paragraphs later ... I think my GD originates from the fact that my mum died when I was a child and I feel like I have missed out on that mother-daughter relationship. Really? | /r/MensRights | 13/03/11 04:09 PM |
| 3 | Men's and Women's Rights are not mutually exclusive -- why do most people here treat them like they are?Equal rights, responsibilities and treatment; both under the law and within society. The MRM is a response to the demonstrable imbalances between men and women in these areas. With frustration comes belligerence in some. This is just human nature. What someone says when they are venting in a friendly forum is not necessarily what they will say in a formal conversation or debate. I would err on the side of not attempting to police this behavior as long as informal rants do not bleed in to the mov… | /r/MensRights | 10/03/11 10:45 PM |

I'm simply pointing to an instance of what I perceive to be as a double standard in our society. That video is interesting. I feel there's difference between the setup and delivery of the 'punchline' so to speak, but I don't have the experience to describe the comedic and situational nuances. I will relent that this is an instance similar to what I have posted that doesn't appear to have raised any of the ire that I would have suspected it… | /r/MensRights | 09/03/11 07:22 PM |

I meant to have the text of my first comment be this post's text, but it apparently disappeared when I failed the first captcha. | /r/MensRights | 09/03/11 06:59 PM |
| 9 | Reverse the genders in this clip (01:56-02:05): still 'funny'?No, I'm not overreacting. The point here is that while society has no qualms with making light of female-to-male violence, depicting the reverse would be considered an affront to our sensibilities. Having this double standard sets up the mentality that gendered abuse toward men is not something to be taken seriously. (See real-life example: http://youtu.be/LGZIQaCaW0I) I'm for equal opportunity comedic combat: nut shots and falcon punches for all.

| 5 | I don't get it...(Women's rights in the workplace+more)Society needs to unlink giving birth with allowances with becoming the primary caregiver at home. They're two separate things; the former is automatically women by biology and should be covered by normal medical leave for the birth itself and recuperation, but the latter can be either or both parents. The option exists for men to be the ones that trade time spent on their career to stay at home to raise the children, but neither society nor the workplace are as accepting of this as it is with wo… | /r/MensRights | 09/03/11 04:15 AM |
| 2 | One of my posts was cross posted from Ask Reddit, but now I have a question for the men (because I think women would be biased)My question is, if I AM pregnant and not having a miscarriage, would I be out of line to ask him to help pay for an abortion, IF that is what we both agree on? Putting myself in his shoes, no. As long as "I" am an equal in shaping the outcome, I'll do what's necessary to make it happen.

At any point in time I can back out of this contract, without fault or penalty to me, and take more than half of our combined assets as I go, regardless of the effort I put in to our endeavor relative to you. You also have the option of backing out, but the law is skewed such that I will still come out with the favorable result. The national failure rate for these contracts is around 50%.
