I did put a qualifier in my statement, expecting some clarification from OP. None came and that is not my fault. Did you read it? I'll repeat it for you: If they're not single-commode rooms then OP's point stands. The only reason I even commented is that there have been several such posts where it turned out the bathroom was only for one occupant and unisex. That kind of whingeing reflects poorly on all of us.

They look a lot like single-commode rooms. The type where, if you're in there, you're not sharing with anyone, let alone the opposite gender. If they're not, your point stands but, if so, stop your fucking whining. This is a simple engineering problem, females typically take more frequent and lengthier bathroom trips because physics. Equality does not mean equal time per anatomy type.

It is their fault, though. They didn't get it just because they wanted it. They got it because of power and influence at high levels being wielded with blatant disregard for the stakeholders. Personal assets of higher up employees/board who knew, or should have known they were doing wrong, but still gave themselves bonuses and wage increases. Not shareholders.

Those guarantees didn't come from nowhere, they were pushed for by the banks. Finland let them fail, just like the US should have. Then they should have gone after the personal assets.

I think I understand what putative means better than you. You just provided two examples where the putative "fact" is so widely believed, that they were/are used to imply that they are facts, even though (as you pointed out) they aren't. So back to this case, Ted8367 calling the accuser a putative liar, does not make him one.

Dude, you're a fucking idiot. You've gone off on some tangent thinking I'm trying to subvert the legal system. I was advocating that the decision be based on evidence alone, and not to assume any details of the case beyond those presented, which is exactly what you've done by (not-so) privately thinking potential assault victims are just liars. In actual fact, I was saying it is equally possible (not probable) that the teacher is lying and the ex-student is not.

You asked if the accuser should be put on trial to see if he's lying. That doesn't make sense because that's what the original trial did. It's an adversarial legal system. The original trial could have been enough for other victims to come forward, or for the accused to simply admit guilt, had they committed the offences. So, to answer your question, yes. Equally, if the accuser was making accusations that were demonstrably false, they should be charged. In this case none of those things happene…

Trials don't prove people are or aren't lying when there's no physical evidence to support either claim. Asking for a trial to see if someone was lying doesn't even make sense.

The article and OP's related story comment blatantly frames the incident as a false accusation. It may well be, but we should assume no such thing without any evidence either way. I have said nothing about reversing the presumption of innocence, you have (incorrectly) inferred it.
/r/MensRights15/11/14 12:54 PM

Me speculating on that is as pointless as anyone else doing so, including OP. The only people who know are the boy and the teacher. Are you implying it's not ok for abused boys/men to come forward after the fact?
/r/MensRights15/11/14 11:43 AM

Of course he was cleared in no time, there would be absolutely no evidence whatsoever after that many years upon which he could be convicted. It's right that he was acquitted without evidence, as with any crime, otherwise we'd have innocent people being gaoled. But none of that proves that boy was not molested. Edit: I don't think you know what downvotes are for.

"Now leave the bathroom with a smile on your face, or I'll follow you home and kill you" See how easy that was? This post is shit. Edit: Don't get so butthurt, people. I'm just saying there's no evidence presented either way. If you think leaving a bathroom at the same time as someone is any kind of evidence of whether you were or were not attacked by them, you're ignorant at best.

Quote me, then. Where did I say men don't suffer from false accusations? Nowhere. Where did I say these accusations are not a problem in India? Nowhere.

Hear me out. This could be a great thing. If there is, enshrined in law, evidence that women will be paid exactly the same rates as men, then, when they do not have the same incomes, it will be more demonstrably provable that the wage gap comes down to the type of and hours that women work.

OMFG. You may be well-informed, but you're a fucking idiot. I never said anything to diminish the suffering of the falsely accused.

I think you're having trouble understanding me due to a language barrier. The language you are using is implying I'm personally responsible for innocent men's suffering. You're also arguing against points I'm not making. It's almost like watching someone talk to themself. The article itself admits they are equating not proving a rape occurred with proving a rape did not occur. This is a logical fallacy. The sheer volume and nature of newspieces coming out of India's media about rape casts doubt …
/r/MensRights09/10/14 01:53 PM

You seem to lack skills of logical deduction. It's a sensationalist claim, plain and simple. There may be more false rape allegations, but there are probably more rapes, too. I'm sure there is plenty of suffering all around. I doubt many believe that India, where women still get acid or scalding hot oil thrown on them for "honour crimes", is an authority on rape statistics.

Not as ludicrous a suggestion as you make out. An easily accessible registry of criminal convictions is not inherently a bad idea, it's that it would have to tell all sides of a story, and have expiration dates where appropriate.

That's patently false true. Allowing people to be aware of legitimately dangerous deviants is not a bad thing. The real problem is that seems to do more harm than good, too many people are on it that shouldn't be. It's an on/off situation, there is not enough context as to why each person is on it.

That's true, but there a plenty of statistics that support high assault rates of both genders, where the context is "I want to tell someone", or "I need help" not "I want the perpetrator punished". When compared to police reports and conviction rates, it supports the premise that far more assults occur than are successfully prosecuted, ergo most people are not lying. Looking at plausible motivation rather than actual observations makes a weak argument.

It's not absurd to think the majority of people aren't lying all the time. If ten of your mates told you they'd been assaulted, would you believe only one of them, on principle?
/r/MensRights09/07/14 03:01 AM

No, and that a gross oversimplification of human communication. Some people are assaulted when they've already said they don't want to have sex, but are pressured or forced into it, and they don't continue to say no or stop.

Or maybe most people who are victims of sexual assault don't suddenly sober up enough to object or defend themselves. Maybe most don't find it easy to say "Don't mind me, I'm just going to get some footage of you committing a crime." Maybe you just don't know how hard it can be to say "no" or "stop" to someone you thought you trusted or loved.

The real problem here is the law. In Australia there are exemptions from such recording laws where it is done to record the commission of a crime. That doesn't mean govt./police can record you without a warrant, it just means that individual recordings will be assessed with common sense before determining their legality.

That's the point. People don't get angry at people who report rape. People get angry at people who make false reports. Hence, going easy on false reporters is not logical (bad policy) and should not deter real reports. I made sense, you just misinterpreted what I wrote.

Not (reasonably) punishing false rape allegers has got to be the stupidest policy of law enforcement. Not finding enough evidence to convict someone of rape is not equivalent to having evidence that the rape definitely did not occur and the accuser was definitely lying.

This highlights a huge disconnect between law and technology. The law is ancient. We can now know for sure when this kind of fraud has been committed.

You've just totally missed my point. You're equating women who voluntarily obey their husbands in present day, because it is in their belief system, with those in centuries passed who may not have had the choice. I was never trying to make a point that "women are currently oppressed in western society". Saying I was, even after an explanation, only demonstrates your poor comprehension. Getting a google result for "disprivileged", or any word doesn't mean shit. I can get a result for "roflcopter"…

You're an idiot. Having a go at me for using a red herring when that's exactly what you've done.

I never said women in the western world were 'disprivileged' at all. (BTW disprivileged is not a word.) I actually said quite the opposite, that despite the fact that generally women no longer endure such poor treatment, there exists evidence that this …

I did not say that. Western women are now far less oppressed than their counterparts in other countries, but this was not always the case. You seem to be one of the people that (incorrectly) think that anyone in agreeance with the idea that women still face some oppression, means they also believe that men don't.

You think your logic is awesome? I was discussing women's position throughout human history.

Are you mental? There are still sections of "western" society today where the wife is to obey her husband. Brides today still often have their father pay for the wedding, a fading homage to a dowry. In many countries these payments still exist. Just look at China and India where girl babies are literally thrown away because they are 'not of the same value'.

That's basically true. It's not the any more case in many modern societies, but that doesn't discount historical facts. Have you looked at commercial porn lately? Slapping, choking, generally treating women like pieces of meat is pretty common. People can do what they want, they're consenting, but it doesn't negate the content. Logical fallacy. Sexual assaults are decreasing, media coverage + hype is increasing. False, but most positions of higher authority are filled by men. Though, this doesn'…

Clearly OP (and many others here) are demonstrating no objectivity. I'm almost thinking it's trolling, juveniles or people that are just bitter about their lives. They may have good cause to be unhappy, like unfair custody settlements, or abusive relationships where feminism was an excuse for poor behaviour. I don't know. But none of this blaming is helping anyone achieve real equality for everyone.

My mistake. I thought your reply was in response to my other comment. They are just using marriage as a concise term for long-term commitment. It's an ad, they have limited space and readers have a limited attention span. Your answer still doesn't support your point. I think they are only trying to highlight the fact that it's very difficult to have children by yourself.

Sure it seems biased on the surface but I think they're jut trying to make it easy to digest: More birth control options are available to females so it makes sense to make an ad targeting them. You don't accuse people of being likely to destroy a relationship, so you use the fear of the other parent leaving. It's often the case that the responsibility of child care falls on a woman, at least initially for biological reasons, but also for social ones. I'm not debating whether it should stay that …

And fathers often show a history of irresponsible breeding habits. I know plenty, including my own father. That statement is pretty baseless.

It's a shitty spiel in the image, but it's never that black and white.
