25	I...don't believe this. Ugh. How about raising children of either gender to simply be decent human beings?	/r/MensRights	11/03/14 06:35 PM
8	Lesbian couple purposely create a child who is deaf. Their son must now go through life without one of his senses because they believe deafness is a special "cultural identity." I also don't really see how this is a MR issue. But it's still an interesting discussion. I give you Bree Walker. She is a TV personality who has worked in Southern California. She has ectrodactyly, which is a genetic condition affecting fingers and toes. She decided, once upon a time, to have children, knowing full well that her children stood a chance of inheriting this condition. And both of her kids did, in fact, inherit it. In other words, she essentially did the same thing as the women in …	/r/MensRights	04/12/13 04:16 AM
8	Jon Cryer's Ex-Wife Wants $88,000 a Month in "Child" Support Child support can, in fact, help the child. I'm for it, in fact, in general terms. But as /u/carchamp1 said, there needs to be actual accounting behind it, subject to audit at the father's pleasure. The problem with a case like Cryer's is that he is giving his child's mother enough money already to entirely support a family of 4 almost anywhere in the world. There's literally zero chance that money's being spent 100% on the child. Oh, and a high-net worth individual, like Jon Cryer, would be a s…	/r/MensRights	26/10/13 02:08 AM
21	TV Star Jon Cryer Must Pay Child Support for Son in His Custody, due to ex-wife not having any other income. You get a bit of a tax break, but otherwise there is no upside. Oh, there are plenty of upsides. It's just a question of whether it's worth it. A big upside for me is that if my wife is incapacitated, I am automatically in charge of her medical treatment (and vice versa). This actually became an issue when she needed emergency surgery several years ago. Her parents are Jehovah's Witnesses, and were adamantly against her receiving a blood transfusion. Too bad for them. With me in the picture, the…	/r/MensRights	14/08/13 05:04 PM
3	Elderly man arrested for possession of child pornography AKA his grand kids playing in the pool. We assume men are perverts because... they're men? 100% agree. This is not a men's rights issue IMHO. It's an issue of out-of-control prosecutors and, possibly, zero tolerance stupidity.	/r/MensRights	10/06/13 11:30 PM
9	Where my tuition fees go... Aha. The old "separate but equal" routine. I like it. It'd show how ludicrous this is 100 times better than a run-of-the-mill protest.	/r/MensRights	22/05/13 06:06 PM
10	Three in four believe those accused of sexual assaults should be granted anonymity- The Independent That's pretty much it. Police departments (in the United States that is - not sure of UK) are required to make public all arrests. It does have the nasty side effect of publicizing the names of people who will eventually be found innocent in a court of law (or never tried in the first place). The classic example is Richard Jewell, and he wasn't even arrested! But the upside to publicizing arrestees far, far outweighs the potential downsides. As you said, in countries where arrests aren't made pu…	/r/MensRights	02/05/13 03:50 AM
1	Another man's life ruined. All laws that specify an exact age are inherently absurd, twice over. First, they're absurd prima facie. Are you really telling me that somebody who's 17 years and 364 days old is not competent to vote, but somebody who's 18 years 0 days old is? Give me a break. That firm delineation is - wait for it - absurd. Second, they're absurd because they work! Kinda sorta, at least. The logic being, at some point, you've got to draw a line in the sand. That line is almost always: "Once you've reached X a…	/r/MensRights	21/04/13 04:12 AM
5	Fired from a job, I inspect largely for being a male — I need to vent a bit If you were terminated as a disciplinary action and they didn't inform you prior to this, in writing, that your actions were an issue then they've broken Washington State Law. What's your source for this? I think it's incorrect; Washington gives employers the power to fire employees pretty much any time they want. From the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries: "The law does not require a business to give a worker notice before terminating their job." Even better, from the same BOLI …	/r/MensRights	23/03/13 08:18 PM
3	It's unfair how Men have to pay more than Woman for car insurance I have to suspect that, somewhere deep in the basement of some insurance company, there's an actuary who's calculated rates based on race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. If the actuary could get his hands on the data, that is. If he could get more esoteric data, such as length of pinkie finger, he'd calculate that table too. There must be a bias, no matter how small. As /u/phedre pointed out, it's just math. What do you think...would Catholics be more expensive to insure than Mormons?	/r/MensRights	17/03/13 02:43 AM
5	Woman jailed after 11th false rape claim in a decade The police continue to haul men into custody and subject them to sometimes terrifying questioning... If ever there was a time to not say a thing to the police, it's while being interrogated for a rape you didn't commit. It must be, as you say, an intimidating thing, though. I'd be howling for a lawyer the moment the cops showed at my door.	/r/MensRights	26/02/13 03:07 PM
8	Woman jailed after 11th false rape claim in a decade I'm a little confused. The story link goes on to talk about a bunch of other serial false accusers. About one of them, there's this quote: "Judge Peter Bowers said it was unfortunate that there was no anonymity for the men." But the the Telegraph story says that the latest innocent man: "...cannot be named for legal reasons..." So which is it, in the UK? Can an accused rapist have anonymity until conviction or not?	/r/MensRights	26/02/13 03:02 PM
1	Getting married is a terrible decision Just by looking at statistics, getting married is setting myself up for failure. Over half of marriages end in divorce. Just looking at the percentage of marriages that end in divorce can be misleading, though. What really counts are the percentage of first marriages that end in divorce. Here's a thought experiment to illustrate my point: take four first marriages. Three last until the death of a spouse, the other one ends in divorce. The each divorced person remarries, and gets another divorce.…	/r/MensRights	17/02/13 11:48 PM
15	Louisiana Attorney General refuses to investigate sexual abuse against a gay man in the workplace When I finally had enough of the abuse, I went to the police. The four men were charged, but the District Attorney refused to take the case because I was unable to appear before a Grand Jury in August. Um. Sensationalist headline is sensationalist?	/r/MensRights	15/10/12 05:28 PM
2	I am a male who worked for a feminazi run company. I was fired this week for something I didn't do, but luckily I had a job lined up. 2nd post. Ah, but that's different from a run-of-the-mill employee. Now you're talking about a contractual obligation. I've been around for dozens of terminations...very, very few of them involve severance of any sort.	/r/MensRights	22/09/12 07:25 PM
3	I am a male who worked for a feminazi run company. I was fired this week for something I didn't do, but luckily I had a job lined up. 2nd post. I'd love to see a source for this. In every case I've seen, severence has been 100% at the pleasure of the employer. They don't "owe" it to anybody. In my adult life, I've lived in California and Oregon, if that helps.	/r/MensRights	22/09/12 07:03 PM
6	I am a male who worked for a feminazi run company. I was fired this week for something I didn't do, but luckily I had a job lined up. 2nd post. Some employees have little choice but to sign. Often, employers will "buy" a signature from the outgoing employee - e.g. "Sign this paper saying you won't sue us or you get no severance." And, all too often, the employee will be having financial difficulties anyhow, and they will sign because they need the money. Not saying this is a good thing. Not saying it's something everybody should do. But it is, in fact, the sad reality.	/r/MensRights	21/09/12 11:41 PM
