| 8 | Gay, male and mra published - Amazon editors favorite book of the year.The book is called "Stand By Your Manhood" and they probably are just referring to how they (as a trans-woman) did not, and just removed it instead.

| 3 | Getting divorced turns men into slavesI'm not sure why you are being downvoted, what you said is more or less completely true. I've worked at retailers that carried alcohol for quite a while, and with the way it works in wal-mart for example is each item is listed in departments, everything being entered manually (not scanned mind you, which is very important) can be entered under "food" and listed with any name and price. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/13 10:12 PM |

| -1 | Can men be trusted to take male contraceptive pill?Men have more to lose IMO if they don't take the pill. I doubt many would forget to take it seeing as they can't abort (financial abortion) like women can. Women have plenty after the fact options where as men have absolutely 0. If you can't trust your partner to take the pill don't have sex, or use a secondary contraception. | /r/MensRights | 12/11/12 10:58 PM |
| 1 | My marriage counselorI'm already partially in debt and there isn't a way without living on the street. The decision I've made is the best path and I know how to not be miserable going the way I've chosen. Not having a roof over my head would ultimately make me more miserable on top of her being vindictive by not letting me see my son. Seeing my son > not dealing with her BS. | /r/MensRights | 12/11/12 08:40 PM |
| 1 | My marriage counselorWhat I'm trying to say is, if I leave, not only will I have to pay for court, but also child support. I would be on the streets, literally. I don't have friends or family within even 1000 miles. I moved here so SHE could be with her family as I was more of a loner to begin with. I didn't care much for spending time with friends. When I've made friends, they move away for various reasons and we lose contact. Honestly, if I made more I would make the move, but I am not dealt the hand I wish I had. | /r/MensRights | 12/11/12 07:11 PM |

If it was a 3rd party, regardless of what is said, addressing her problems she would regard as them "taking my side" or grow more violent because she already hates me talking about her or our relationship.

Within a few hours of this announcement, she completely changed and has been threatening that I'll never see or have custody of the child.Yes, but the purpose is to keep a backup in a safe place. Having it on your phone, it could get wiped and you would be left with nothing. It's the same as keeping a NAS to backup all your data, or using cloud storage. A hard drive can fail, be wiped, ect. just like your phone. | /r/MensRights | 01/11/12 06:09 PM |

Also, I don't think an injured wrist requires help getting dressed, however depending on how far along, he may not have needed to help her.

| 1 | A feminist's answer to "why do women initiate more divorces". This is the mentality we're up against.Also, if the wife is your friend and not the husband, that could give a bit of a bias on either you or what she tells you (because friends typically wouldn't want to look bad in another friend's eyes). Who knows, either way, I just don't like drawing a broad conclusion based on my own experience which could be flawed like you or I mentioned. | /r/MensRights | 18/10/12 07:58 PM |
| 1 | A feminist's answer to "why do women initiate more divorces". This is the mentality we're up against.I still find it hard to believe that you haven't seen any women act in this way, since it's not uncommon between either sex IMO. I'm not of the opinion that a marriage could be saved if one is already planning divorce. | /r/MensRights | 18/10/12 07:44 PM |
| 1 | A feminist's answer to "why do women initiate more divorces". This is the mentality we're up against.If he regrets the divorce that kind of shows that your "he didn't want her around so he ignored her" reasoning is flawed in this particular case. That was my point in saying you don't have the whole story, and the wife's side doesn't necessarily say much more than half. And now you imply that he may have broke her wrist (with no evidence). Seriously, you sound like you are trying to find a reason to hate this guy without knowing his side. Continue drawing conclusions I guess. | /r/MensRights | 18/10/12 07:36 PM |
| 1 | A feminist's answer to "why do women initiate more divorces". This is the mentality we're up against.When you ignore a woman to death because you don't want her around it at least it makes sense. When she then divorces you and you follow her 400 miles to be with her because you didn't think you had to make an effort, well, get a clue sooner dude. It's fairly obvious you are giving a reason that you don't know for this guy. If he didn't want her around, and that was why he was ignoring her, why would he move with her? Sounds like he had a different reason entirely for ignoring her. Since we are … | /r/MensRights | 18/10/12 06:43 PM |
| 1 | A feminist's answer to "why do women initiate more divorces". This is the mentality we're up against.That is how a lot of guys resolve problems.

| 1 | A feminist's answer to "why do women initiate more divorces". This is the mentality we're up against.I got the idea, because it was easy enough for you to draw a conclusion for the gender as a whole, based on two guys. Don't be a dick, is advice both women and men should learn. Either way, I'm sorry for your experience. I just don't think it's as drastic as "women don't do this, only men do because I know 2 guys that did and not a single woman." I'm not making excuses however. Just explaining that your two man experience isn't nearly enough to draw a conclusion. | /r/MensRights | 18/10/12 06:16 PM |
| 3 | A feminist's answer to "why do women initiate more divorces". This is the mentality we're up against.Acting like they don't exist is exactly the same as distancing yourself from them. Distancing yourself of course is more general with an extreme and an opposite, with it's own extreme. You're acting as if women don't do this too. I'm sorry that two guys you know somehow soured your idea of all men, but this isn't gendered at all. On the point of acting as if they are doing them a favor, isn't that even more common among women? Acting as if guys are "lucky" to be with them.

However the idea of vigilante justice like this without proof or any evidence that they actually committed a crime scares me.

Of course it could always be much worse though. Just a thought I was having when reading this. … | /r/MensRights | 11/10/12 04:32 AM |
| 1 | Cousin is threatening to tell everyone I raped her.If you are on android, SMS Backup+ If the app isn't found on "Google Play" you can enable 3rd party source apps and download the apk from the internet. It's a free app which is always nice. If you are on an iPhone, then the only one (i could find) similar is a paid app called "iPhone SMS to Gmail" but there may be others. Be sure to find an app that supports backing up MMS and SMS messages if you are using an iPhone. | /r/MensRights | 19/09/12 06:08 PM |
| 2 | Cousin is threatening to tell everyone I raped her.There is "iPhone SMS to Gmail" but it's a paid app. The SMS Backup+ I use, is a free app that will backup MMS messages as well, so I'd suggest looking into that feature in whatever you find, otherwise MMS messages that contain text/photos won't be saved. | /r/MensRights | 18/09/12 06:15 PM |

Never felt safe at any step with my word against another, even more so against a woman. My family made it very apparent to me with how they treated my sister's accusations against my brother and I. Now that I'm older it makes perfect sense why I act this way. Not like my SO gives me much choice anyway. Sorry for the random personal story. Hope your situation pans out well for you. :) | /r/MensRights | 18/09/12 12:52 AM |
| 6 | Cousin is threatening to tell everyone I raped her.Even with my current SO, it may seem underhanded since we are still together, but I have an auto-backup app on my phone for all text messages I've ever received/sent. She thinks I do it for her to see what I'm saying to who, but it's really to defend myself against her in the future. When accusations from women have more weight than evidence (socially and legally), it helps to keep as much documentation as possible. | /r/MensRights | 18/09/12 12:37 AM |

I wasn't willing to the idea of having a child with her. That's why I wanted an abortion or out. However, this is the hand we are dealt as men. I will not go to jail, and I will be a better parent to my child than her. When he is old enough he will know who he wants to be with, he will see how she treats me, and how she even treats him. I honestly can't see it ending nicely for her, but my son and I will be happy one day. | /r/MensRights | 15/09/12 08:54 PM |

I went through the same thing though, except I decided to stay with her, for the sole reason of waiting until my son is old enough to decide who he wants to live with.

They are both huge decisions that people make too rashly. I'm not married, and will never be because it's just a bad decision IMO.

| 3 | "Sexism": I do not think it means what you think it means.and if we just ask nicer, feminists will relent... The point being made is that, more often than not, feminists (and others not quite sure what to think of MR) will ignore or deny our arguments if worded this way. I'd rather inform 1 person in a debate with a calm tone, possibly changing their perspective, than get 2 people to agree and join while bringing more hate to our cause.

| 0 | Dating: Men vs. Women. While this is obviously a joke, it still hits home.Of course the male's standard of living increases, he lost most of his stuff in the divorce so he will have to work more and gain more alone. The fact that women file for divorce more often and that males tend to have more to lose does mean they have the worse side of it. Statistically men's living increases for a lot of reasons. | /r/MensRights | 16/05/12 01:17 PM |
| 1 | What do you all think of my take on feminists vs MRAs?That wasn't what i was trying to imply either. But the huge disparity in cost is due to the current gender bias. Once solved, funding can be solved which largely shouldn't be too much of an issue as long as It's not belittled as lesser than DV against a female, which it is in some cases which may lead to lower funding as it could be seen as "not as important." | /r/MensRights | 16/05/12 03:50 AM |
| 2 | Dating: Men vs. Women. While this is obviously a joke, it still hits home.I was only making the point about commitment. There are plenty of guys willing to commit to a relationship, but it gets a lot harder for a guy to seriously commit to marriage. On the point of one night stand type things, this is solely something that comes with dating. Sadly you can't just walk up to women and say you just want sex. There are the exceptions when women are open to the idea but most find it creepy. Guys have similar issues with getting interested in a girl and finding out she is j… | /r/MensRights | 16/05/12 03:38 AM |
| 1 | What do you all think of my take on feminists vs MRAs?Most DV doesn't require fleeing from your partner and utilising a shelter, though. Doesn't mean men should be without an option like is given to women, and money doesn't solely go to shelters, It's just one part of an argument. I wasn't intending to, just making a point that women getting more isn't necessarily supremacism (if they need more). VAWA ignores men in this situation. Nothing was stopping them from making it gender neutral. Women don't specifically NEED it more, as there is no way of … | /r/MensRights | 16/05/12 03:14 AM |
| 1 | What do you all think of my take on feminists vs MRAs?Being that DV/DA is roughly equal between genders, I'd say males should be given the same attention as it can harm both male and females equally. Because of the fact there is nearly no, if any, funding currently, men can't be currently helped the same way. Claiming women get the funding because they use it is pointless as men currently can't use or get nearly any of the same help to be part of the statistics. | /r/MensRights | 16/05/12 02:49 AM |

| 10 | Dating: Men vs. Women. While this is obviously a joke, it still hits home.In my opinion, getting a man to commit (to a relationship or engagement or marriage, depending on where the couple is) is FAR more tricky and has a way higher risk of heart-crushing outcomes. Women file divorce more often than men, would you expect men to be more willing to commitment when they are more likely to be left in a divorce? Men are more likely to commit suicide after a divorce than women as well, which could be due to men having more to lose on average in a divorce.

If a female has children or is pregnant then she could also be exempt, like wise a father could stay home with the children if the mother was drafted but the father wasn't.

If she were abusing me I would literally have no place to go because VAWA ignores men's needs and there is barely, if any, resources put into men shelters for DV/DA.

| 1 | My wife is being charged with assault and I have been left with our daughterMy point was that being under the influence, drugs, hormones, alcohol, ect. should not allow a person to blame it on drugs, hormones, alcohol, ect. or the other party.

Say everything is fine, both want the child, months go by, random fight ensues. Father no longer wants anything to do with the child or mother, however the mother is left with a body changing birth since it is past the window for abortion.
