6	I'm a waiter and I saw a sugar daddy get exploited at dinner yesterday??? Bottle 1) Clearly she is on the hook for this, the restaurant made her aware of the price and even went to great length to ensure that this is really what she wanted. Bottle 2) I think the restaurant is on the hook for this as it failed to make the person ordering aware of the high price of the bottle. They clearly demonstrated a need for this by going out of their way they had an affirmative order when the women ordered the first bottle. They made no such effort to ensure a meeting of the minds…	/r/MensRights	05/06/16 10:36 AM

12	Male teaching assistant who had sex at school with a 15-year-old student is jailed for four years. BUT: Female Teacher who had sex with schoolboy, 15, is spared jail. This type of disparity happens all day everyday everywhere and not just in these kinds of cases. The fact that we call it a "justice" system is laughable because in the end it is just a legal system that is not really interested in true justice but rather in its own self perpetuation. When "justice" can depend on how much money you have to spend on representation it's not justice, it's a farce.	/r/MensRights	22/05/15 07:58 AM
1	Fallacy of shielding boys from stories about girl characters The entire concept of boy and girl books is so utterly bogus as to haven been conceived by ideology not reality.

One of the girls even said "this is going to be so much fun <3". Doesn't sound at all like a DA with a strong case , does it.	/r/MensRights	08/04/15 10:35 AM
9	A teen accused of raping 13 girls. Social media records of 3 victims shows that the three girls talked about "teaching him a lesson" by having him arrested. One of the girls even said "this is going to be so much fun <3". The only thing that is evident in these chat logs is the conspiracy to frame the accused in some way, other than that you can't just go and take what Girl 4 says and interpret it like he must have been guilty of rape because she implies so. That implication is a stretch and offers nothing beyond speculation.	/r/MensRights	08/04/15 10:31 AM
2	Today while attending a sexual assault training course. I was told that men can not be raped. The laws that you cite do not apply in the military. The military is governed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice which defines both rape and sexual assault in article 120. http://www.sapr.mil/public/docs/ucmj/UCMJ_Article120_Rape_Sexual_Assault.pdf	/r/MensRights	07/04/15 07:41 AM
1	In Statutory Rape Case Involving Teacher And Student, Judge Asks Court Room, “What Young Man Would Not Jump On That Candy?” The whole reason we have statutory rape laws is because minors are not considered mentally competent to make decisions about things like this Historically that is not even remotely true. Did you know for example that one of the primary reasons why statutory rape laws became gender neutral in the 1970s was the argument that the unprotected class (boys) enjoyed a privilege and agency that the protected class (girls) did not and as such to achieve equality the laws had to be gender neutral. Only th…	/r/MensRights	06/04/15 05:57 PM
3	In Germany, exhibition is only a crime if you're a man. Sorry , but sexist on paper will always result in sexist in practice. There simply is no way to avoid that. Just because other provisions may cover similar acts does NOT mean that these are equivalent treatment or even had equivalent sentencing. At best your assertion will result likely in simply a sentencing discount at worst and much more likely this is simply outright discrimination. And what is even more disconcerting is that the highest court in the land basically said it's ok to discrimina…	/r/MensRights	06/04/15 04:42 PM
1	In Germany, exhibition is only a crime if you're a man. (4) refers specifically to regulations or ordinances not contained in the StGB which impose fines or sentences due to actions considered exhibitionism. This is why women are mentioned. However (1) does in fact only refer to men.	/r/MensRights	06/04/15 03:46 PM
5	Don't forget, in the US a woman is entitled to sue the father of her child for child support even if conception occurred as a result of a criminal act committed by the woman. But women are, like, totally oppressed and stuff!

I am sorry, but you are dead wrong on this. It is one thing to publish this opinion on a blog or other limited circulation media, it is however quite another when a national newspaper publishes it under their own banner. Words matter. Language matters. If it is acceptable for national newspapers to publish this kind of speech then soon enough this kind of speech becomes acceptable throughout society.

2	Germany Now Mandates More Women in Corporate Management by Law There is a lot more to this law than just the quota for boards. The quota was only a small part of the reworking of the (loosely translated) "Equality Act". The law basically also enshrines gender parity in government bodies at least on the surface. However that parity only becomes mandatory in cases where "structural disadvantages" exist for a gender. Mere underrepresentation of one gender in a government body does not count as a "structural disadvantage", but because there has basically been a…	/r/MensRights	07/03/15 06:11 PM

4	Enjoyable news from Germany: A new law makes it easier for unmarried fathers to obtain a custody of their children The crazy thing is that even with this new law by default the mother has sole custody. Only when the father goes to court may he get shared custody or sole custody. While it is a step in the right direction shared custody should be the default. As it stands the law is still sexist.	/r/MensRights	20/05/13 09:26 PM
6	man who allegedly tricked pregnant girlfriend into taking abortion drug charged with first-degree murder for death of fetus The question is whether this will stand up to the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. If the same action resulting in the same outcome carries different charges based purely on who the acting person is then I would argue you do have a violation of the equal protection clause and therefore the law is unconstitutional.	/r/MensRights	16/05/13 11:30 PM

-3	Found this on the front page, am I the only one that finds something wrong with it? I think the biggest problem with this is that it implies that men aren't already socialized to know that rape is bad. I think the biggest problem is that (some) people assume men need to be socialized to know that rape is bad. This assumption is a) wrong and b) dehumanizing.	/r/MensRights	11/02/13 08:38 AM

In a way to me it boils down to one thing and that is while society's expectations of (young) men/boys haven't changed (and to a large degree also expectations that parents have of their children, particularly those in the middle class with higher education), the circumstances of society have changed to such a degree that these expectations are no longer easy to meet. So when the divide between what is possible and what is expected becomes larger, at a certain point you will get resentment and a…	/r/MensRights	19/12/12 12:58 AM

1	Father pays to rear a girl who, unknown to him, is not his biological daughter. Connecticut Supreme Court rules that he can proceed with a lawsuit demanding that the bio-father pay him half what it cost to rear her. The article wasn't 100% clear on that all it said was: After Alicia was born, Fischer said in court documents, Tournier invited Zollino to join them on the ride home from the hospital. On his own, he also attended eight or nine of Alicia’s orchestra recitals and attended a summer camp musical in which the girl had a role, Zollino has testified. That is by no means conclusive.	/r/MensRights	03/02/12 05:23 PM
1	Father pays to rear a girl who, unknown to him, is not his biological daughter. Connecticut Supreme Court rules that he can proceed with a lawsuit demanding that the bio-father pay him half what it cost to rear her. The question here is whether the bio father new for certain that this was his daughter or whether he just suspected it. If he knew, he should pay half of the rearing costs as he was part of the fraud. If he didn't ,then the mother should be responsible for all of the costs in my opinion as she was the one who defrauded both men. As this is a case which no longer needs to take the best interest of the child into account as she is an adult, this should be decided on equitability alone.	/r/MensRights	03/02/12 02:39 PM

9	Israeli Husband Who Refuses To Divorce Wife Sent To Prison Indefinitely: In an unprecedented ruling, the Jerusalem Rabbinical Court has sentenced a divorce recalcitrant to an unlimited prison term – until he agrees to give his wife a "get." There is something fundamentally wrong when one party can effectively block the divorce. This however is not the fault of the party that does, but the fault of the system that allows it in the first place. The fact that the court kept this man locked up for so long and now indefinitly is equally a travesty as it is that the court does recognize a right for the husband to chain the wife by not granting her the right to remarry.
