| 7 | Paternity test proves man is not the father of twins. Judge makes him keep paying child support anyway.because 16 years of being their father means they are now your child. Nope, no it doesn't. It just means you were the victim of paternity fraud for 16 years. At that point you should get a ton of restitution for the time and money you invested in raising someone else's bastard. Time doesn't erase biology. | /r/MensRights | 09/10/13 09:35 AM |
| 1 | An honest feminist tells you the truth: Feminism is not about equality.The real metric for our value isn't in our contribution to society but in our inherent worth given to us all by God. He isn't impressed by your education. We're called to follow Him, a God who laid down His own (far more valuable) life to save us. Oh man, seriously? Please leave your religion out of this. I never said a child is more valuable than you. Are you an MRA? Aren't you here because you value equality? Isn't it inconsistent to then decide you're more valuable when it comes to saving you… | /r/MensRights | 13/08/13 09:34 AM |
| 1 | An honest feminist tells you the truth: Feminism is not about equality.Humans aren't really worth a whole lot. There's 7 billion of us, and most of us are easily replaceable in the grand scheme of things, myself included. I don't think there's a universal metric for valuing human life, but to say that an educated adult with a specialized job is not more valuable than an untrained child is simply laughable. Sure, potential is there, but there are no guarantees. | /r/MensRights | 13/08/13 08:35 AM |

| 1 | So, I have to pay child support if she has the baby even though I don't want kids... but if I want to have the baby and she doesn't, I'm shit out of luck. Yeah, sounds fair to me.If the state allowed a mother to unilaterally disc laim the legal rights and obligations incident to motherhood after the child was born , then the law would be extending a right to mothers which it does not afford to fathers. What about giving a child up for adoption or Safe Haven laws? These do the exact same thing this court is claiming that mothers cannot do. | /r/MensRights | 23/03/13 05:13 AM |
| 7 | Girlfriend stopped taking the pill without telling me, and is now pregnant. Says she wants to keep it. I'm extremely scared.If you can't face the potential consequences of sex, then don't do it... Simple as that sweet, go tell that to all the women who have the option of abortion and giving up the kid for adoption. | /r/MensRights | 17/02/13 06:05 PM |

| 3 | So, instead of making a comment on this and being downvoted to hell, I'll just ask... Anyone see anything wrong with this? Because this is the kind of stuff that drives me crazy.I agree that they should say something like that, but I hear constantly that they're afraid to be up front like that because of the guy's possible reactions. In r/askwomen a lot of them said that they've tried this and have had negative reactions (being called a bitch/slut/cunt/cock tease/etc.) because how dare they not be attracted to said guy? I can understand being hesitant to be so blunt after receiving such a reaction instead of something more reasonable like "oh, okay thanks for being hone… | /r/MensRights | 24/01/13 06:57 AM |

| 8 | Was told to give up my seat on the train for an able bodied women - I have a broken leg.Anyone who has a kid is an idiot and I want to slap every child I see. This type of thinking isn't really encouraged on r/childfree. Its mainly people enjoying the things they can do because they don't have kids and then venting about shitty parents who don't know how to properly raise kids/think they're entitled to certain privileges because they're parents/don't respect other people's decision to be childfree. | /r/MensRights | 03/11/12 07:01 AM |

| 13 | Any other 18-22 year olds scared of marriage?26 here, marriage is a terrible legal contract for men. The system is not set up in your favor should it go wrong. Its an archaic antiquated tradition that is not necessary in today's world. It doesn't make your relationship work any better. That little scrap of paper won't turn your life around, nor do you need it to show your love for someone. I will never get married. | /r/MensRights | 31/08/12 07:52 AM |
| 5 | Was told to post this here: I know it's not manly to complain, but I feel like my life has been taken away from myself...but it still saddens me that my happiness can no longer be my priority... Welcome to parenthood. Also have you had a paternity test done? It seems like it would be a prudent measure because who knows how many one night stands she's had. And thanks for solidifying my conviction to get a vasectomy. | /r/MensRights | 30/08/12 07:46 AM |

| 1 | Is Abortion Exclusively a Women's Rights Issue?So you're arguing that it is the rights of the woman vs the rights of a fetus? That's all fine and dandy, but really it has nothing to do with men's rights and this discussion belongs in another place. | /r/MensRights | 17/08/12 05:52 AM |
| 1 | Is Abortion Exclusively a Women's Rights Issue?What are you arguing here? If it is not a women's rights issue, what the hell is it? Are you arguing that we should press women into putting unwanted fetii into incubation tanks and let them mature until capable of surviving on their own? Who is going to take responsibility for that child? What if they don't want to? This sounds like some extreme right winged science fiction, and it is kinda scary. | /r/MensRights | 17/08/12 04:53 AM |

| 4 | I'm an aspiring equity feminist and I have some questions for you.So why do men (and MRAs) constantly ignore this and trivialize their issues, at least on this subreddit? This subreddit is designed to promote awareness of problems that men face, and understandably is devoid of women's issues because of it. That's not to say that we don't care about them (I consider myself an egalitarian who thinks both sides have issues that need to be attended to) its just that this isn't the place for it. Much like r/feminism isn't the place to find discussion of men's right… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 04:23 AM |
| 16 | Mothers get 3 chances to opt out. Abortion, abandonment, and adoption. All legal options that completely remove parental responsibility. Men get 0. Since it's a mother's choice, shouldn't she be the one who pays for it?I really wouldn't bitch out about outright paying for an abortion as it would be infinitely cheaper than having and raising a child. I do think that since it took both parties to get pregnant, both should chip in on the procedure though. | /r/MensRights | 02/08/12 07:20 AM |
| 3 | I'm a male american taxpayer. I am forced to pay for contraception so women who would laugh at me if I approached them can sleep around. Is this fair?I don't doubt that, but food stamps and welfare aren't only given to women. Now if you want to argue that women benefit more from government programs, I'm sure that's true. But let's look at birth control here. I'm sure its cheaper for a male to pitch in a few bucks via taxes to help fund some birth control than it is to knock up some woman and be on the hook for raising an unwanted kid for 18 years. OP just seems extremely mad because he's not the one these women are having sex with. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/12 10:13 AM |

| 7 | I don't really see where we disagreeI think the main disagreement here between you and me is that I think that we are not ready for that type of policy and you probably see it as necessary and worth it to give men rights now. Why do you oppose giving men the ability to opt out of parenthood when women already have that choice? I would think if you were an egalitarian as you said you were, you'd be in favor of giving men an equal right. It should be noted that there are some fathers who do not pay child support despite the laws. Th… | /r/MensRights | 27/07/12 07:41 AM |
| 8 | I don't really see where we disagreewhy are men seeking to promote the rights of a group that is already perceived to have rights. This sounds like the heart of the matter to you. Here's the deal, we don't have equal rights in all aspects. A lot of it in the area of reproductive and parental rights, which are absolutely HUGE. Women have the ability to withdraw from motherhood via contraception, abortion, and adoption. Men have condoms and vasectomies, not exactly an equal playing field. If you get pregnant and decide you want to k… | /r/MensRights | 27/07/12 07:24 AM |
| 6 | I don't really see where we disagreeRacism and sexism are two completely different things and have no corrolation between them that I am aware of (feel free to cite sources to correct me). You use "priveledged" as a blanket statement. Are men priveledged in some areas of life? Yes. Yes we are. But the same goes for women as well, especially when it comes to parental rights. I don't even identify myself as a MRA, I self-identify as an egalitarian. But back to the question. When you ask that, you're basically asking "do you realize … | /r/MensRights | 27/07/12 07:07 AM |

Boys used to have an advantage in math and science, but that gap is nearly gone."These studies are from the UK, and I am unfamiliar with the education system over there because I'm an American. I'm not sure how well they can be applied over here. Also the testing experiment to try to find out gender bias in grading seems really subjective.

It's the parents' responsibility to make sure their child is doing what they need to do for their child to be successful, and I'd be willing to be that a number of them just don't care.

This article is stating the case that because male children cannot do these basic things that they fall behind in class, which is true.

Do you need that ceremony and piece of paper to love, trust, and cherish her like you do right now? Also, for many situations, having a pre-nup gives the idea that there is already doubt in the success of the marriage, and getting out is possible.

| 1 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?So really, I see that if you really trust and love the person if it makes them happy marry them. I wonder how many people have taken that approach only to be raped in the divorce after they've been cheated on... | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 05:12 AM |

| 0 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?that threat is there anytime you are in the same room as your SO... hardly an effective argument against cohabitation. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 03:36 AM |
| -6 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?then leave out legitimate, don't paint it in a favorable light | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 03:35 AM |
| 12 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?In my view, the only legitimate reason to get married is because your girlfriend might leave you if you don't sorry friend but that is a terrible reason to get married. that is coercion if your gf threatens to leave unless you marry her. almost as bad as getting married just because you knocked someone up. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 02:44 AM |
| 0 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?I addressed that in another post, but only 10 states still carry this archaic rule, and its disgusting. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 02:41 AM |
| 3 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?The obsession of diamonds is nothing but good marketing that makes men and women feel that an appropriate way to show affection is through the purchase of a stone that is vastly overpriced. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 02:40 AM |
| -1 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?I'm an atheist, and although I loathe religion, I can understand why those who follow it would want to get married in their church in front of their god. But then again this post isn't really addressing the spiritual rammifications of getting married, just the earthly. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 02:39 AM |
| 3 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?Don't cohabitate. this just seems excessive. can you elaborate further? | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 02:00 AM |
| 1 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?That's fine, and that's your right. Drawing up prenupts is a fantastic idea, I'd worry for any man willingly jumping head first into a binding legal contract with no defense. Best of luck to you if you ever do get married. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 01:55 AM |
| 4 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?Society places a high value on getting married, mainly because of the religious ties. It's seen as the end result of a normal relationship. "Oh you love each other, when are you getting married (and having kids!)?" That kind of bullshit. As if anyone who doesn't think that marriage and kids is the primary goal of life is weird. Its strange how society dictates norms. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 01:52 AM |
| 4 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?sounds like coercion into an unfavorable position to me. better and cheaper to break up before a marriage rather than after imo. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 01:19 AM |
| 14 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?Exactly. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 01:17 AM |
| 1 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?Thank you for your explanation. I didn't know about the custody and unenforceable provisions, although the example you provided is extreme. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 01:16 AM |
| 5 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?That's pretty appalling that the government can set your status as married without your consent. I doubt, at least I hope, that it isn't a very common occurrence. I mean if I act like a fireman in a bunch of aspects, can the government tell me I'm a fireman? Ridiculous. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 12:59 AM |
| 5 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?that is a valid point, but I think this discussion caters more towards US citizens. | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 12:57 AM |
| 8 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?I'm unfamiliar with law, so how much can a prenupt actually protect you? Or is it a legal document that you can be as specific about how the marriage works and the process of divorce, if necessary, goes? | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 12:55 AM |
| 2 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?also, a number of states consider you legally married after living together for X number of years, so you can't even avoid it sometimes. True, per wikipedia A common-law marriage can still be contracted in the District of Columbia and ten states: Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, and Texas included. But I think one of the requirements is that you must present yourself to the public as a married couple, therefore if neither partner does such, … | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 12:51 AM |
| 2 | Is marriage even necessary anymore?okay, could you flesh this argument out a little bit for me? do those benefits outweigh the costs of divorce and alimony if things don't work out? | /r/MensRights | 17/04/12 12:44 AM |
