Until we stop assuming that men aren't the victims, I'm sure we'll never really know just how widespread the problem is. Also, why have you gone from "why would you care" to "of course you should care"?

The policy of arresting men in domestic violence case regardless of which party is actually to blame isn't something that MRAs should care about? I've experienced DV firsthand and I was in fear of my safety each time, despite being the victim and living in California. This isn't something we should care about?

Given the history of the evolution of Feminism (1st Wave, 2nd Wave, 3rd Wave) we can observe the negative aspects of each iteration. We can identify the inherent sexist and racist overtones in each. We have to compare those negative aspects that plague them against their core goal (assuming it's equally between the sexes) and the progress each wave fights for. While my comment may not make much sense so far, consider why someone may discount Modern Feminism. As the exposure to the concept increa…

I have no idea what you're referring too with the necromancer comment. You are aware that, even after a person has died, you cannot legally force organ donation or any other seizing of body parts for the good of any other party? Keeping that in mind, by ignoring body autonomy (for the good of a fetus) of a woman, now a corpse has more rights to their body than a woman does. Potential human beings should not have the rights of a human being who exists as a separate entity outside of another's bod…

Why are you equating the welfare of a potential person as equal to a unique and separate individual who exists outside it's parent's body?
/r/MensRights08/02/16 09:15 PM

That defies the very concept of body autonomy and places a potential human life higher in importance than the body hosting it. At that point, a human corpse has more rights than a pregnant person. If you can address that issue, feel free to equate a potential person being more important than someone who's been born. :/

A child should not suffer in any combination of circumstances. These are our future citizens we're talking about. If a father personally doesn't wish to financially support the child, so be it, everyone should pay taxes into making sure that child is taken care of despite the circumstances.

I'd imagine that those who realize they're unfit parents should be able to relinquish parental rights for said child. Or should men be forced to raise children when they don't want to?
/r/MensRights08/02/16 03:19 AM

How are you reaching that conclusion? If the intention is to help children, you need to strictly define what is and isn't a child (fetus != child). You also need to strictly define what is better for a child, forcing people to raise a child they don't want wouldn't be good for the child whether those forced are men or women.
/r/MensRights08/02/16 03:17 AM

Perhaps supporting children should be a government funded issue that everyone pays for equally. Since children are our future citizens and all that implies.

I really do appreciate it. The entire event and follow up was a horrid mess and I've become very disillusioned with the legal process. After it happened, I tried to get help at a local crisis center and was turned away because the group leader was hesitant to warn the others about me. I was lucky that I got enough help to file a restraining order. When it went to court, I got sixty days when every other woman got three years. I don't know when this will change but I really hope it will soon.

The local DA didn't even prosecute when I wanted to press charges against my ex who tried to bash my brains in with a wooden, water-cooler stand. Even with a witness to the whole event. It doesn't surprise me that people don't report, the legal system doesn't do anything.

There are many reasons that I could imagine someone withdrawing allegations.

However, we don't often have investigations into the validity of claims that aren't pursued. We can all be civil here and recognize that lessthanadam is legally correct.

What about her comment was hateful? It's a critical commentary on how feminism is embraced in the public light. Some people are actually disgusted by the actions of feminists. I can say the same after I was turned away from a crisis center after my ex tried to kill me on the sole criteria of gender. There were no services available for me and not even those who claimed to seek equality were looking to help.

Some people can only think in absolutes for one reason or another. Theft of food to save a starving family ends up being considered just as bad as the theft of millions of dollars out of people's retirement funds. However, I'm not sure that's a good indication of an IQ being below 80. It certainly is possible but I won't judge here. This isn't the sub for that.

Borderline personality disorder and Narcissistic personality disorder are not exclusive.

I'm also talking about altering the brain structure and function. Why would the answer to a mind unable to perceive and accept itself for the biological body it's in to be to convince it's otherwise?

In a social vacuum and without alterations to their state of self and mind, one of those described will function normally and the other will feel suffering. Needing treatment to remain in a euthymic state doesn't fit the description of "no health consequences". Edit: This always gets downvoted but rarely does it get refuted. I know it's not popular but if it's true, being unpopular doesn't make it any less so.
/r/MensRights25/03/15 09:06 AM

Generally, treatment should be encouraged to reduce the level of suffering to a manageable level. That's what medicine is about (mostly). However, until treatment develops to treat the underlying causes, all we can treat is the symptoms.

It's quite the empowering thing to feel as if sexism doesn't happen toward you or generally to men. Some of us are not so lucky.

I'm in Northern California and when I dealt with DV, there was nothing available at all. If it weren't for my roommate witnessing the whole event, I would have been escorted out by the police instead of her. I've tried to form a support group for male DV survivors but the local crisis center pulled their support after reviewing their budget. Churning through these struggles has given me a small bit of insight and this is what I'd suggest for content on an online media campaign. Address the emoti…

Why shouldn't statutory rape be rape? I mean, I can see where there could be a distinction between if a statutory rape is violent and/or forced as compared to neither of those. Yet both fall under an instance where sex happened but the victim did not legally consent. (in this case, because they couldn't as minors)

Hi, I'm a male DV survivor and I really agree that negativity is the last thing people need here. This is often the only source of active support that people find.
