9	Duke lacrosse rape accuser found guilty of murder The lawsuit was settled out of court: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-28/duke-university-lacrosse-players-end-lawsuit-against-school.html No details were provided, but I'd imagine that the students did receive some sort of financial compensation, especially considering that initially Duke placed Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty (2 of accused) on interim suspension for the Spring 2006 semester following their indictment, while David Evans (3rd) graduated the day before he was indicted. W…	/r/MensRights	24/11/13 02:31 AM
9	Duke lacrosse rape accuser found guilty of murder Part 2 Basic timeline from here on out: For the arrests initially, Finnerty and Seligmann were indicted on April 18, 2006. Seligmann was actually happy (to an extent) as he had a solid alibi in the form of ATM records, photographs, cell phone records, an affidavit from a taxi driver, and a record of his DukeCard being swiped at his dorm (remember, he left the party during the supposed rape incident). On May 15, 2006, David Evans, was indicted on charges as well. On June 8, 2006, Roberts, in her …	/r/MensRights	24/11/13 02:19 AM
9	Duke lacrosse rape accuser found guilty of murder The original comment sadly was deleted before I could post, and since I wrote way too much (and spent a lot of time on it), I'd like to provide some insight to the original case. The original comment asked for a ELI5 on the Duke Lacrosse Scandal. I hopefully can provide some insight on that. Part 1 Discloser: I lived in Durham for six years and hold a degree from Duke University. First and foremost, I need to paint you a picture of Durham, North Carolina. It has a very rich and long history, fro…	/r/MensRights	24/11/13 02:18 AM

3	I'm a 27-year old young women and ex-feminist, AMA! [x-post IAmA] Yes and no. You can post an AMA without proof. There is definitely the desire to provide it, but it's difficult in a case like this to show proof of past beliefs. Where they will remove posts is "If your post is suspected fake and you do not verify proof, it may be subject to removal," which is from their sidebar. I didn't get the feeling this was a suspected fake posting from the commenters. Spam is definitely worthy of removal. Technically any AMA that is not interesting and unique OR uncommon…	/r/MensRights	31/05/12 04:36 PM

4	We need divorce reform. Pre-nups are recognized by all states and are basically a form of a contract. In that regards, it arguably falls under contract law governed by legal law. One of the things, for instance, it cannot do is dictate custody of children. That can only be decided by a judge on what is best for the children, essentially by a third party outside of the marriage. Regarding the reasons why it can be thrown out, you're looking at duress in signing it, not reading it, not having council, incomplete informat…	/r/MensRights	16/05/12 08:07 PM
3	TIL men should avoid doing something nice when it involves helping a child The NDAA is an overarching law. Specifically regarding the TSA, they are allowed to hold you for additional screening. If you refuse or refuse to go through airport security, they are legally able to hold you for questioning including with local authorities. If you refuse, you're fined and possibly arrested. It's when the local authorities become involved (because you refuse the scan or additional scanning or in general) that the NDAA starts to become an issue. Remember that it isn't just the TS…	/r/MensRights	06/05/12 03:05 PM
60	TIL men should avoid doing something nice when it involves helping a child NDAA 2012 Basically, the US Army has the power to detain anyone they believe is harboring bad will to the US, classifying them as domestic terrorists. You are detained by the Army without trail until "the end of hostilities," which of course being terrorism, is never. The wording is vague enough that despite Section 1021 stating that it doesn't affect current law extended to US Citizens, Section 1022 does allow the option for US Armed Forces to detain US Citizens, which would go back to the firs…	/r/MensRights	06/05/12 04:53 AM
13	Sexism goes both ways (x-post from r/WTF) Read the article. I quote: but when the eager woman demanded more, the exhausted man refused..When the sex-hungry woman wouldn’t take no for an answer, the man took drastic action....A police spokesman was quoted as saying: “He complied with the woman's wishes another few times so he could finally leave the apartment." Now, I believe that fits the criteria for rape: sexual advances using overt force or threats without the consent of the other individual. If you still fail to see "proof" of rape,…	/r/MensRights	03/05/12 05:39 AM
32	Sexism goes both ways (x-post from r/WTF) Why do they name the accused rapist when it's a male and not the victim when it's a female? No one said it's a fair fight out there. Personally, I think that the accused person's name should remain hidden until trial, as to not taint the jury before evidence is brought forth. Regarding the victim, I think that they should have a choice whether to be identified or not. Some don't want to be publicly know about this on the front page. But that's my ideal world; we live in one that doesn't reflect …	/r/MensRights	03/05/12 05:36 AM
14	Rapper DMX owes 1 million dollars in child support and is being denied a passport because of it. So he can't tour Europe and make the money to pay off all that child support...if the child is even his. Wait, what? The mother can deny the paternity test? How does that even make sense? And why is there even a question of paternity after that? In my mind, if the mother denies a paternity test, it sends up red flags that he probably isn't the father. I've never realized that the mother can do this....that's messed up. EDIT: From what I'm reading, you could pursue legal actions to force a paternity test? I'm not really familiar with family law, though, so I'm not sure of the success rates in doing …	/r/MensRights	19/02/12 11:32 PM

3	38 Years Ago Today, the Court Upheld a Woman's Right to Choose with Roe v Wade...Men Still Lack That Right This isn't so much an issue of abortion as much as it is the choice allowed to an individual to sever ties and connections with a child solely based on the individual. A woman has the choice to abort: to resolve in essence any responsibilities that would come with having the child without any sort of joint agreement with the male involved in the pregnancy. Males, on the other hand, have no option to resolve any responsibilities that would come with a female partner having a child past a joint ag…	/r/MensRights	23/01/11 02:21 AM
2	38 Years Ago Today, the Court Upheld a Woman's Right to Choose with Roe v Wade...Men Still Lack That Right You took my comment as I was composing my statement. :) Basically, this statement assumes that the female does not make enough money to support a child by herself and that the addition of a male's financial support will suddenly bring that child up to standards that society deems fit. I disagree with this assumption being made as it makes baseless assumptions about financial incomes. Of course, it still ignores the fact of how parental support is determined and enforced, and the inequalities bet…	/r/MensRights	22/01/11 11:50 PM
3	38 Years Ago Today, the Court Upheld a Woman's Right to Choose with Roe v Wade...Men Still Lack That Right One of the larger problems that I see here is that even if the courts want to utilize the argument that a child's best interest is to have two supporting incomes and not one (which boggles my mind as it automatically assumes that the male's contribution to the child's life will be sufficient and that the female's contribution will not be enough to support and raise a child), they still run into the issue of the unfairness on how child support is determined. We've all seen how courts can force th…	/r/MensRights	22/01/11 11:45 PM

70	The pain of a false rape claim 'is not a pain I would necessarily have spared' innocent men From the article Comins argues that men who are unjustly accused can sometimes gain from the experience. "They have a lot of pain, but it is not a pain that I would necessarily have spared them. I think it ideally initiates a process of self-exploration. 'How do I see women?' 'If I didn't violate her, could I have?' 'Do I have the potential to do to her what they say I did?' Those are good questions." See kids?

2	Women in their 30s were the most likely to say they would marry for money (74%) while men in their 20s were the least likely (41%). Among the women in their twenties who said they would marry for money, 71% said they expected to get divorced. All 50 states recognize them, and with lawyers on both sides along with perhaps a private judge to oversee the signing to make sure both sides are signing of their own will, they usually stand up. Plus, they fail under Contract Law and you have the The Uniform Premarital Agreement Act of 1983, which is incorporated into many state's statutes which dictates when a prenup can be invalidated (typically if one signer is under distress or coerced into signing it). These cases of invalidation can be e…	/r/MensRights	31/08/10 09:58 PM

2	Man spends 26 months in jail awaiting trial. Case is dropped after Crown reveals the "victim" used the same sexual-assault story on two other men. I stand corrected on location, and I appreciate the information. I guess having a right to trial "in a reasonable time" allows more legal leeway on how long is too long to not have a trial.	/r/MensRights	29/08/10 10:11 PM
5	Awful attitude of some people regarding false rape accusations I never said that wasn't an issue nor any of my concern. Specifically, I stated that it's crap that a male gets thrown into the spotlight, does not get the benefit of the doubt via innocent until proven guilty, and unfortunately still gets shunned even if found innocent by a court of law. Hence, my overall point that there needs to be education at a young age of what constitutes rape and what does not. It also needs to be made clear that punishment for false accusations is real and needs to be a…	/r/MensRights	29/08/10 08:55 PM
3	Circumcised men are significantly less likely to use a condom. It's not a problem feeling sensation, but the amount of sensation I believe is reduced with circumcision. In terms of the article, using condoms is the most effective way for a man to prevent unwanted pregnancy and spread (or catching) of STDs, regardless of their circumcision status. Why one would think they are protected because they are circumcised is beyond any form of logic. But, as Unwanted_opinion said, a sample size of 77 people is way too small. Any deviation from a mean would be too st…	/r/MensRights	29/08/10 07:07 PM
7	Man spends 26 months in jail awaiting trial. Case is dropped after Crown reveals the "victim" used the same sexual-assault story on two other men. I'm not familiar with UK laws, but is there no where in your by-laws about a right to a fair and speedy trial? 26 months for a sexual assault case seems like an awful long time for it to be on hold.	/r/MensRights	29/08/10 07:03 PM
8	Awful attitude of some people regarding false rape accusations It also doesn't stop women from just jumping into bed with guys without thinking, either. Both sexes have sexual urges and desires. Both sexes can have difficulty controlling them under certain conditions. There really needs to be more communication with younger females about the definition of rape. Rape is not you waking up the next morning next to a guy and suddenly feeling guilty about sleeping with him and regretting drinking too much. I think it's a horrible that anytime a woman cries rape,…	/r/MensRights	29/08/10 07:01 PM
