2	Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General: "For 185 of the 291 sampled records, the [Connecticut] State agency provided inadequate documentation that required background checks had been performed .. we estimated that the safety of 2,862 children may have been at risk." I'm not familiar with being on the other end of the foster care system. I've been through the ringer in the courts with my own children. I've also had my niece placed with me for a little over a year back in 2008, and they did all sorts of background checks on myself, my wife, they combed over our taxes and everything, just to have sister's kid temporarily placed, but never had my own children placed in foster care. I know there's a ton of crap that's pulled in court, and I saw first hand some o…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 06:25 PM
1	Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General: "For 185 of the 291 sampled records, the [Connecticut] State agency provided inadequate documentation that required background checks had been performed .. we estimated that the safety of 2,862 children may have been at risk." So you believe that children were placed into foster care without the children's fathers being notified or otherwise considered as an alternative to being placed into foster care, made even worse by their failure to properly vet foster homes? And if I'm reading this correctly (and if my understanding of Title IV-D is correct), then that would mean parents (read: fathers) have been paying support to the state for children who should never have been placed into foster care, and certainly not into …	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 05:31 PM
2	Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General: "For 185 of the 291 sampled records, the [Connecticut] State agency provided inadequate documentation that required background checks had been performed .. we estimated that the safety of 2,862 children may have been at risk." I don't see how this is specific to men's rights. Connecticut failed to perform background checks while placing children into foster care, and they're advising refunding $17mil in Federal funding. While alarming, how is this men's rights related?	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 02:30 PM
2	Why women make better leaders than men Have a hard time believing this is serious. Sounds like an idiot fell off tumblr and landed on their own domain. From "The Feminist Experience: A Story from my life": I noticed that all of the front seats, intended for the superior class, were being occupied by old men. How dare those egotistical, patriarchal, misogynistic bastards think that they deserved a seat more than myself. I am an empowered woman, someone who realizes that I deserve to assert myself in the highest levels of society, abov…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 02:21 PM
1	Unattractive women have several options to change important physical features (breasts, butt, weight). Unattractive men have no viable options to change important physical features (height penis size) You could take this in another more broad direction, tie it to how each sex does mate selection. Much of what we value in women in Western culture can be faked, since much of it is based on physical attributes. What we value in men, not so much. You can rent a nice car, live above your means for awhile, but in the long term you're not faking success or status. What we could do is value women more for their actions and not on their beings so that maybe men's attractiveness weren't so intimately t…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 01:59 PM

Exactly - they haven't done anything wrong Which is exactly why they should be spared from being publicly outed as having been molested. and won't lose anything by being named. Except, you know, being very publicly branded for shit that happened to them as children. I'm not one to pull the Think of the Children card, but this is a perfect example of a situation that warrants it. The guy's accused of attempting to rape a fucking baby. Scratch that, he's not just accused of it he flat-out admitted…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 01:37 PM

I was more just thinking aloud about how if you're an asshole and have mental health problems, if you're a man you're an asshole first, and if you're a woman you have issues first. Makes it easier to sweep men's mental health issues under the rug by attributing their behavior more to agency and not a serious condition, while also making it easier to give women a pass by removing their agency under the cover of "issues". There's certainly both men and women who have mental health pr…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 07:07 AM

I addressed this here: and the amount of time the child spends with each parent (which parent is positioned to supply more of the child's welfare by way of having the child more). You simply restated would I already have. If you're currently in jail it goes without saying that you cannot exercise your visitation rights, but that is not the same as saying failure to pay support is considered a material change of circumstances and grounds to affect a custody or support order. I know you want to ar…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 06:58 AM
5	Pregnant girlfriend is already threatening child support and to leave. But she makes more money, alimony an option for me? Legally there is not. There's bias, there's expectations outside of the courts that creep into the courts and sway judgments, but there is not a separate law on the books that says, "Men must pay support or they cannot see their children. This rule does not apply to women." I challenge you to find a statute in any of the 50 states claiming as such. In fact, my son's mother has had to deal with child support enforcement before, spent 5? I think days in jail, over something ridiculous like $65. Sh…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 04:45 AM
1	Pregnant girlfriend is already threatening child support and to leave. But she makes more money, alimony an option for me? That's not what I'm talking about. The amount of support is determined by the age and needs of the child, the ability of each parent to pay (each parent's income, or expected income), and the amount of time the child spends with each parent (which parent is positioned to supply more of the child's welfare by way of having the child more). It doesn't matter which order is put in first, support or custody. They're still separate orders, where non-payment does not constitute a material change in ci…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 04:42 AM

In fact, I see studies posted for what are clearly gender studies' dissertations and coursework on mTurk all the time. Maybe not a bad idea for MRAs to use the same thing to pull some statistics.

1	Woman makes her fiance take a polygraph test every time he leaves the house, and forbids him to watch any TV shows with women (xpost /r/NotTheOnion) Polygraphs are junk science, so not only is she controlling but she's also an idiot as well for believing a polygraph is a valid instrument. I also find it suspicious that she's been diagnosed with Othello's, not because I don't believe it to be true, but in the grand scheme of things all of these pathological issues being blamed on conditions giving cover to assholes acting like assholes. Man controls gf, he's an asshole. Woman controls fiance, she's got a condition. 13yo black boy convicted of…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 04:20 AM

4	Pregnant girlfriend is already threatening child support and to leave. But she makes more money, alimony an option for me? Yeah, not sure how it's different in Canada but in the US support and custody are two separate things. This is a preventive measure against a previous widespread problem of divorced stay at home mothers being screwed out of their children because they had no income, even though they were clearly invested in their children. Now a days the support issue is taking front and center stage within men's rights because men are getting boned on the support front and the custody/visitation front, but they…	/r/MensRights	30/11/13 04:01 AM
2	A new sub to debate feminism Obvious trolling or attempts to derail discussion need to go. It would be nice to prevent comments that are unpopular from being buried just on the basis of being unpopular. And it would be helpful to put the content of debate above the feels, since too easily unpopular opinions can be buried or removed once someone claims offense to it. Someone in that thread already suggested providing sources for claims, which is great for a lot of reasons but is also potentially problematic. "Prove it" is of…	/r/MensRights	07/08/13 09:58 AM
79	Help! Reddit! My husband needs it! Child support and custody are separate matters. Failure to pay support does not allow her to refuse contact anymore than failure to provide visitation allows your SO to avoid paying support. So you will likely have to file two motions; one motion to show cause for the failure to comply with the court ordered visitation, and one petition to modify support. Both will require you to be prepared with documentation and proof. Have them heard on separate dates. If she won't let him see the daughter, t…	/r/MensRights	07/08/13 09:24 AM
1	Please help. My family needs some legal advice. If she wants to play hardball and threaten court orders so be it. She has to compel a court to do it, which means that she needs to explain to the court why she needs to establish paternity of a child years after the fact, and under the circumstances already puts her in a less than favorable view of the court. What sounds like is that the mother has a problem with the ex-husband and the new wife, and is thinking that maybe if she can prove he isn't the biological father that she can prevent the …	/r/MensRights	07/08/13 08:40 AM

You know, it's shit like this that keeps me from embracing the Men's Rights Movement fully beyond posting the occasional comment or attacking misandry and oppressive feminism whenever I see it on other subreddits. That poster isn't an MRA, and that isn't an MRM site. That's like basing your view of religion on the YouTube comments for Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe. You could replace radical feminism in your comment with just feminism and it would be more correct. At a basic level feminists are libera…	/r/MensRights	07/08/13 07:36 AM
2	A judge ruled harshly against me in a child support/custody hearing, saying, "I don't have time to look through all this [evidence]." What should my next steps be? The court will consider the father properly served of the order since the previous attorney was acting on his behalf. It was a failure of the previous attorney to properly inform his client (the father) of the order and provide him copies. "I didn't know" is not a valid excuse in this situation, since as far as the court is concerned the father was informed of the order... through his attorney. He can lodge complaints against the attorney, but he's still obligated to follow the order, and he's s…	/r/MensRights	01/08/13 12:41 AM

I'm saying that no matter what you or I or anyone else thinks should be, biology says "fuck you" to all of us and does its own thing regardless. We all work under those constraints, and pointing to that being the case is not advocating for or against fathers in any capacity.

1	Refreshing viewpoints from the commenters at /r/feminism. Feminists aren't all bad. It's not so simple, because "equality" has come to mean different things during the history and evolution of women's rights groups. The feminism you're accustomed to evolved from women's lib, and paralleled the civil rights movement (or attempted to, at least, through co-opting), and was preceded by the suffrage movement, and so on down the line. At each step along the way, "equality" meant something different. It may behoove you to learn, that many women who were suffragettes were against much …	/r/MensRights	25/07/13 09:03 PM

4	Seen on the NYC subway.. I'm not saying any of that. What I'm saying is that from a purely biological point of view, that's the way things are. I'm saying biologically speaking, nature doesn't really care whether you stick around or not during the pregnancy. It needs your sperm and that's it. It needs her uterus for the entire duration. You're having a disagreement with an argument that isn't being made, and this is the second time I'm pointing it out.	/r/MensRights	25/07/13 05:20 PM
1	Can someone please explain this apparent glitch in Matri(archi)x? This is for Firefox. If your screenshot is from a different browser, then the following is not for you: Firefox's American English dictionary is supposed to be derived from Aspell, which is derived from Ispell, which is old old old. "men's" and "women's" are included in the English word list for Aspell, found here, which would suggest that whoever maintains the version used for the Firefox spell check edited the original list at some point.

8	Seen on the NYC subway.. Women can choose not to go through with the pregnancy, but they can't choose to distance themselves from the pregnancy while still carrying the child to term. Once committed, they're intimately tied to the baby from conception to birth as a result of biology. The pregnancy is dependent on the woman's body. The same cannot be said of men. They can stay or leave, and it does not affect the pregnancy. The woman is more biological invested in the pregnancy, since it's 9 months out of her life. If yo…	/r/MensRights	25/07/13 03:52 PM

Sometimes, the issues are worse because you're both, but generally we're concerned with your issues as a man, but that doesn't mean we have a problem with the latter.

1	Selling Feminism: A History There was a ton of re-imaging and re-branding done prior to the 70s that this article completely skips over. Many suffragettes split after the suffrage movement, and there was another significant split between the "angry, lesbian, man hating group" and what many would be considered today as equity feminists.

Feminism has been pushing much more for equality in outcome over equality in opportunity in 2nd and 3rd wave, and is another major ideological distinction between feminism and the MRM. Actually, that's not entirely true, is it?

2	My two cents on this subreddit. An egalitarianism effort to encompass both genders would be the obvious end goal, but until men receive the same kind of focus that feminism has brought women, it's not going to happen. Women's roles and expectations and day to day realities have changed quite a bit in a relatively short amount of time. What it means to be a woman has been opened up for women themselves to interpret. Men need these things as well. It also won't happen so long as men are the scapegoat for all the hate that groups…	/r/MensRights	21/07/13 02:52 AM
1	My two cents on this subreddit. Feminist co-opting is assumed because of your supposed concern about further division. If working together entails putting male issues on the backburner, the same way feminism has pushed aside the issue of discriminated groups to further its own agenda, then we're not interested. Feminism has done very little to support men, all the while claiming to be for equality for all. What they have done is put women's issues first, and if by chance a portion of men somewhat benefit from tackling women's …	/r/MensRights	21/07/13 02:24 AM

And yet not a single piece of evidence given to support that statement, which I guess does a better job of showing how the MRM feminism doesn't understand feminism the MRM Do you not see how unoriginal your argument is?

1	My two cents on this subreddit. The MRM does not understand feminism, thinking at the very least feminism is a women-only equality movement, and is reacting to a phantom of feminism by creating a men-only equality movement. Do you find it just the least bit interesting, that you would post this in a thread with numerous examples of the opposite being true?
