I agree totally. I've been trying to convince her of that to no avail. Obviously I can't take any action. It's a little complicated by the fact that she isn't exactly sane. BTW, your comment about BPD was dead on, she was diagnosed with an extremely severe version of it several years ago. Received therapy for a while then up and left (not discharged). Was close to better for a while (thats when I met her and dated her), but all of that collapsed when I took a job in another city with the idea of…

After watching the video that seemed much more like a highlight reel than a sexy olympic women reel... I don't know what other people saw, but I saw women making great plays, competing and basking in the glory of victory in their respective sports. There was less sexual objectification in that video than any swimming (male or female) match.

I grew up in the same situation. I'm certain she was physically abusive to him as well, she just didn't do it in front of me and my brother. I could hear it through the walls some nights. Yes men can be abusive. I just don't understand why people cannot acknowledge that women can be just as abusive.

In theory they would but that's not the way it works. What ends up happening is that you can't separate children from their mother! So she gets full custody and he gets weekend visits. Plus hes on the hook for 50% of the income he would be making if he had worked since getting out of college. Which ends up being 300% of the income he can actually make because he decided to be a stay at home dad. Oh. Wait. He cant pay. That means his drivers licence, and any relevant certifications he has require…

I totally agree with you, except there is too much overlap. Gender needs to be removed from the mental health and domestic violence picture so that abused men don't fear reporting their abuse. A man should never be told 'If you tell anyone what I did to you I'll just tell the cops you [hit,raped] me and you'll go to prison' That threat haunts me.

Totally agreed. Once convicted there is no reason for anonymity. Given the highly emotional nature of rape, the defendants should be extended the same rights as the victims as a matter of courtesy until a verdict is rendered. I'm not saying this to protect actual rapists. This is a matter of protecting innocents from vigilante justice which is a very real risk in highly emotional circumstances such as rape cases. An accusation can cause irreparable harm to someones reputation and life. Now, I'm …

Yes. Absolutely. The data is highly biased by the functionality of the police force. There is no reason not to trust the data from developed countries, but it's difficult to compare developed countries to undeveloped countries or democratic states to totalitarian states. Outside the US, Canada, Australia/NZ and Europe the data is much less trustworthy, but it is the best most comprehensive source on the matter.

That is homicide only. Take all violent crimes (meaning murder, robbery, assault and sex crimes as is considered in the UN report) and the UK is second in total number of violent crimes in the world with 6.5 million per year to 11 million per year in the US. Factor in the fact that the UK has ~1/5 the population of the US.....

I'm not sure what I'm more shocked about, that they jailed a man for 14 years to turn over assets he didn't have or that they still went through with it after he turned over the paperwork showing exactly how how he lost the assets OR that somehow she has a legally legitimate claim to assets he earned without her assistance.

We may say things you disagree with but we welcome you to voice your opinion and have a calm reasoned discussion about it. Feminists that preach egalitarianism are natural allies of the MRM.

I went to Seneca Falls several times on school field trips. It inspired me to learn more about feminism (part of the following is taught at historical sites). The scary thing is, every year that passes by, feminism gets more moderate. If the feminists of the early 1900's showed up (the ones that won the right to vote), they would be considered domestic terrorists faster than you could blink. Early feminism was about violence, riots, blackmail, vandalism... etc. Look back at pictures of Susan B A…

Quite frankly I have an enormous penis (it's worse than average sized in many ways). I like nice cars and cool guns just as much as any other guy.

3 witnesses who are friends of the accuser testifying against her. Motive to lie. DA's will only prosecute a case where they think the accused is guilty AND there is enough evidence to prosecute. She may think he's guilty but there's no way that there's enough evidence to prosecute unless the post is not accurate.

This is absolutely true. He's still fucked... But unless OP is lying about something or people are lying to him then there is no way a competent DA would press charges. There's always the possibility that the DA isn't competent or is looking for a political gain, but chances are either people are lying to OP or OP is leaving stuff out.

Lots of domestic abuse (verbal, emotional, physical). The aggressor was female. I sought support from friends and family and was laughed at, told that it was impossible and told that it doesn't matter how much she hits me, if I hit her back I'm going to prison.

The problem is that people associate FGM with total removal of all external genitalia which is extremely rare. People think that male circumcision is harmless and has no female equivalent. In my opinion the best approach is education. Teach them that extreme forms of FGM are rare. Teach them that FGM usually consists of a ritual nick or scarring. Teach them that the equivalent to male circumcision is total removal of the clitoral hood. After all, the foreskin and clitoral hood are anatomically i…

Gender is incredibly fluid anyways. Maybe you're feeling like a woman that day so you park in a woman only spot. The next day you're feeling like a man so you park in a man only spot.

Meh. Survey the location to find the worst 20% of the spots. Designate half of them women only and the other half men only. Or just make 10% of the parking spaces so small that only a vespa could park there and designate it 'Vespa and women only'. Women don't have special needs. Treat them like any other person. When you demand special treatment for being in the majority of the population you look like a whiny brat.

I just want to point out something about the establishment of offices for womens health and well-being. This is a good thing. The problem is not that there are people looking out for womens health. The problem is that womens health is disproportionately funded over mens health. The health of both genders is equally important. The representation and funding should reflect that.

Yes. You would need to talk to a lawyer to file a subpoena. Really, just talk to a lawyer and tell the lawyer everything you said here. The lawyer will give you better advice than anyone here can. The only advice I can really give you is when you separate, don't do it by leaving your house and fight tooth and nail for custody of your child. Just reading what you said, the child would probably not be safe with her.

There are certain disorders that require birth control for a woman's body to function normally. PCOS being the most common. In these situations, birth control is covered by insurance. This would be the best analogy for viagra. If birth control was not covered for a legitimate medical condition such as PCOS, then that would be very wrong, but it is. It's not that viagra benefits women, its that ED is a legitimate medical condition as much as PCOS. There are drugs available to remedy both of them.…

That's not grounds for holding. They need to have evidence that he committed a crime that they could charge him with. Or they can hold him as a 'cooling off/sobering up' period. They determined that he was not a flight risk AND had no reason to believe he did not act in self defense. Legally they could not hold him and reasonably they had no reason to. Upon further investigation, evidence came out that he may have been the aggressor. So they took him into custody and charged him. The initial act…

Most women are good, honest people. Just like most men are good, honest people. A trend on reddit in general is to only present horror stories and show that as the norm. This trend is significantly amplified on advocacy subs such as this one. Don't let the horror stories taint your view. Yes, bad people are out there, but they are a minority. I feel that that point is not emphasized enough.

In the event of a broken engagement or divorce, the engagement ring legally returns to the person who proposed. It is considered a 'conditional gift' by the courts. As in it is only a gift as long as the couple is together with the intent to marry (or is married). After that it must be returned. Just like if a wedding is canceled the gifts must be returned, if the couple breaks up the engagement ring must be returned.

No. That's not at all what I said. Child support where the child is the result of a female on male rape, alimony where there is proven sexual assault or domestic abuse (such as the Deion Sanders divorce). No matter what the gender is, the victim should be allowed to cut all ties and move on with their life. It is horrifying to be constantly reminded of a person that abused you. No one should ever have to go through that.

The idea that it might happen is more discouraging than anything.

One places value on a gender creating a hierarchy, the other is offering a hypothesis (a distasteful one, but something that made no judgments to be tested that could easily be disproven) to explain a data trend.

It has been properly studied. It doesn't exist except in childless college educated workers under 30. In that demographic women make 8% more than men. In every other demographic it is equal when controlling for relevant variables (education, time worked, work done, benefits). Proper studies are published but not publicized.

When you post something and it gets caught by the spam filter, tell the mods. If you delete it then reddit assumes it actually was spam and will be more likely to remove it in the future. If a mod overrides it then reddit realizes it wasn't spam and is less likely to remove posts of that type in the future.

Because no one ever mentions it. There are special laws for violence against women. Violence against women makes the news all the time. Politicians campaign on the platform of reducing violence against women? Why focus on women specifically when violence against men is more prevalent?

The difference is whether you petition the court to take on the responsibility or if your partner has done something to force that responsibility on you. Obviously the default should be 50-50 custody and I see no reason for any sort of child support unless custody is not 50-50, so I'm only talking about scenerios where there is a reason for custody to not be 50-50.

I think this is a little too extreme. It's a good idea but too broad. If one parent petitions for full custody and the other does not oppose, then it's perfectly reasonable.

If a man doesn't want a child AND he takes proper precautions and makes his intentions regarding children clear within a reasonable time period (say, 1 month?) of finding out, then he should not be liable for child support.

I have always been strongly on the side of equal rights no matter where that places me. I used to be more on the feminism side but after becoming aware of a large number of injustices I began to drift, still advocating for womens rights, but slightly more so for mens rights. Several of my friends were clear feminists. It sparked some lively discussions but never isolated me or shut me out.

The FAQ takes a specific view of feminism. Most MRA's support womens rights. Feminism is a specific extreme branch of womens rights that expresses views of female supremacy. That is what is not supported. Womens rights however, tends to be very strongly supported as with gay rights, trans rights, and all other groups. The mens rights movement is more egalitarian than specifically a mens movement. It just focuses on men.

The one thing that struck me is how women are indoctrinated to fear being raped using the exact same techniques rapists use to intimidate their victims into submission.

Nope. My response is that people do what they feel like and hire based purely on qualifications while ignoring genitalia.

Tell women to be the most qualified person for the job. Making token hires may look good for evening out a gender disparity but it hurts the people you're trying to help. Say women would have been 15% without the policy. Now with the policy every women in the position is assumed to only be there because shes filling a quota. This means no woman there is being taken seriously. Even the 15% that belong there.

Being close enough to someone else to hear them is 'potential harassment.' Real harassment is an issue. If you're worried about potential harassment, then maybe you should alter your behavior to avoid situations like that instead of telling other people to alter theirs.

This makes perfect sense. Women are equal to men in every way. When a man does something good or bad, he is fully responsible for his actions. When a woman does something bad it's obviously due to something out of her control, but when she does something good obviously every man in the world was trying to prevent it. How does this do anything but create the mindset that women are inferior to men? It really seems that all these groups fighting for womens rights are only making women seem inferior…
