1	Domestic violence What are you talking about? There's literally several Men-only clubs across Australia https://theaustralianclub.com.au https://melbourneclub.com.au https://www.melbournesavageclub.com/cms/membership/ Additionally, there's programs like the Men's Shed Association that is specifically a program to give men a safe space just for them. https://mensshed.org	/r/MensRights	22/05/25 01:27 PM
1	Help me challenge the idea that men’s sexual behavior is out of control? You keep trying to make a point as if rape and sexual assault are completely different crimes when they're not. Under law, rape is a form of sexual assault so it is classed as such. And sexual assaults that do not classify as 'rape' are not petty crimes. They are still serious offences. You're the one with the warped perception of sexual assault and crime, not the government. Okay I accept date rape is hard to prove I will tell my daughter be very cautious do not go to his house or invite him ov…	/r/MensRights	22/05/25 01:12 PM
1	Help me challenge the idea that men’s sexual behavior is out of control? Dude, what? Your arguments are very hard to understand, but you come across as incredibly uninformed on the reality of sexual assault and as an advocate for rapists. What I think you're trying to say is something like, "older women are making false reports for sexual assault to get back at men"? Which is the most conspiracy theory like argument and is founded on nothing but your feelings from what i can tell. Where are you pulling this data from?	/r/MensRights	22/05/25 12:52 PM
1	Help me challenge the idea that men’s sexual behavior is out of control? Thank you so you concede "that's narrowing the frame until the problem appears small enough to ignore" Dude what? I'm calling you out for saying that only crimes that result in convictions or meet the definition of 'aggrivated' rape is narrowing the scope to appear small. I'm not conceding anything. I'm pointing out your flawed logic. Again where is the publicly available data like the family law court data it's withheld stop saying it isn't unless you can give me a link. You’re conflating separ…	/r/MensRights	21/05/25 06:51 AM
1	Help me challenge the idea that men’s sexual behavior is out of control? If police start charging too many men for minor offences it will, increase fear in the community, detract from serious personal safety issues and further stigmatise men. So your argument is that men shouldn’t be held accountable for committing sexual offences because they might feel stigmatised when they commit sexual assaults? That’s not a justice issue-that’s a call to protect perpetrators at the expense of victims. The fear you’re worried about isn’t created by accountability, it’s created by…	/r/MensRights	21/05/25 06:35 AM
1	Help me challenge the idea that men’s sexual behavior is out of control? I think the definition of SA needs to exclude rape its not an assault its more that that just like violent crime and homicide. Rape is legally defined as a type of sexual assault in all Australian jurisdictions. This isn’t a matter of opinion - it’s the law. Attempting to separate rape from sexual assault is misleading and downplays the seriousness of both. For example, in Victoria, rape falls under Division 8 of the Crimes Act 1958, which covers sexual offences including rape, sexual penetratio…	/r/MensRights	21/05/25 06:35 AM
1	Help me challenge the idea that men’s sexual behavior is out of control? I did reference a Victorian Government site and stuck to its definition what you imply is that I'm simply lazy or stupid to understand. How many other people are to lazy or stupid to understand. Yes I saw that link and I can understand where you drew your conclusions from. However, I believe that site is more for victims to go to when they are unsure if what happened to them constitutes needing to be reported. Whereas crime statistics are taken from lodged reports that fit the crime. And those m…	/r/MensRights	21/05/25 06:06 AM
1	Help me challenge the idea that men’s sexual behavior is out of control? Of those, the number of convictions in a year is reportedly no higher than 50. either a significant portion of accusations are unsubstantiated, or the justice system is catastrophically failing victims Using conviction numbers as a way to “verify” which sexual assaults are legitimate is incredibly flawed. Convictions reflect what can be proven in court beyond a reasonable doubt, not what actually happened. Sexual assault is one of the most underreported and under-prosecuted crimes for a reason: …	/r/MensRights	19/05/25 11:45 AM
1	Help me challenge the idea that men’s sexual behavior is out of control? The rate of aggravated sexual assault is approximately 16 victims per 100,000 people per year and has remained relatively stable over time. It's important to note that even this category does not necessarily equate to rape. Just because an assault isn’t labelled “aggravated” doesn’t mean it’s not serious. Non-aggravated sexual assaults are still criminal, harmful, and have a huge impact on victims. Ignoring those just because they don’t make the “aggravated” cut downplays the reality of sexual v…	/r/MensRights	19/05/25 11:44 AM
1	Help me challenge the idea that men’s sexual behavior is out of control? Ok there's a lot to unpack here, so I apologise for the lengthy comment. Firstly, The definition of "sexual assault" used in this context seems to include a broad spectrum of behaviors—from unwanted touching to hearing an offensive joke, being inadvertently seen while changing, or receiving a vulgar hand gesture I think you might be misunderstanding what’s actually included in the ABS crime stats you're referencing. The Recorded Crime – Victims data is based on police reports, so for something t…	/r/MensRights	19/05/25 11:42 AM
