I hoped this sub would be men being reasonable in the face of radical feminism. Instead there is a lot of anger and hate here, as there is in the feminist subs. Apparently men can't be any better. If it's equal rights for all regardless of gender then it's really human rights, no? I stay subscribed, because reasonable stuff sometimes pops up here and no where else, but I never point anyone here, I'm too embarrassed for many of you.

I'm entering a new relationship with a younger woman who wants to be dominated. She can't find anyone her age to fulfill that for her so she's turning to me. Also, she's very hesitant to tell anyone in her age group of this desire, she knows she'd be ridiculed for it. Some people want the traditional male dominate roles, that's what works best for them. There's no reason Western societies can't accommodate that the same way we're accepting LGBT now--which I fully agree with. I don't just mean in…

Lawyers. You think you might do it yourself and fill out one of those online forms. The problem is you get through it and realize you don't know shit about the law and for all you know you are completely exposed by that ignorance. Even if it seems like the divorce will be amicable, you can't tell the future and you don't feel confident at all in those DIY forms. So, you pay a lawyer. Having been married, I don't know why people do it twice. Hope springs eternal, I suppose.

Doesn't this come down to specifically what you mean by "feminist" and "men's rights advocate"? I doubt many men here are against equality for women; want women to be subordinate to men. So, in that regard we're all feminists.

"Goodbye." Half the people you meet in your life won't like you from minute one. Half of the ones who like you when you meet won't like you an hour later. I know this isn't about being liked, but the idea is the same, most people don't see eye-to-eye on most subjects at any given point in time. My other point is, people change over time. The core of our being stays the same, but beliefs can change radically. Usually, it takes a major life event to change deeply held beliefs--I'd venture to say i…

Some people don't like beards, I can't go more than a week without shaving, it's too irritating. I don't like a hairy crotch on a woman for many of the same reasons she doesn't like beards. I'm allowed to say that, women can judge me how they please. Some agree, some don't, life goes on.

I don't understand the point of a legal contract in a romantic relationship. If people want to get married, have the ceremony, make the promises and everything else, just don't bring the law into it. It's the same damn relationship either way, but if and when it's time to split up there's no mess. Child support isn't attached to marriage, parental rights aren't either. What, exactly is the point of a legal, contractual marriage for your average couple?

Or maybe politicians are too afraid to even bring up the issue. This is a big chunk of it. It's a red-hot issue that politicians avoid if possible. When they are forced to address it--outrage when it's an older man and non-committal waffling or apologist when it's an older woman.

If true (I mean, this is Buzzfeed), this is some Minority Report shit right here: The test spit out a score that set him on the path to being locked up in a state psychiatric facility. Why? Because he might commit another crime in the future. He doesn’t know if he will ever be released. People should be arrested and tried for crimes they committed, never locked up for something they might do. This holds true across the board, be it child abuse, terrorism, fraud, murder, theft, etc.

I know exactly one couple who have been married for 20 years who are undeniably happy married--they still shower together every morning and leave love notes for each other.

None of them are ugly. In fact, I find Macaulay Culkin's face fascinating and I wish he were still acting.

I like that he's picking a movie that he personally had fun making, that being the main reason he'd like to do a sequel. Obviously, he doesn't need to work anymore, so I'm sure he only chooses projects wherein he thinks he'll have fun, whether a movie "deserves" a sequel is the farthest thing from his mind.

More and more, people don't have the balls to confront a stranger--in this case "confront" means asking you to move your bag. They'll complain about you on Facebook, posting a candid photo, but not just politely ask for the seat.

(U.S.) My lawyer told me my ex couldn't touch anything I made after the divorce was finalized. But I also know that Family Court Judges get a lot of leeway, and if my ex should ever get a bug up her ass and sue me anything could happen. That's why I'm being very careful in following the divorce settlement, so at least she won't be able to use anything there as ammo against me.

What is the point of the legal contract of marriage? What do you get out of it? Here's what I got: I was forced to pay off her student loan through garnishment of my tax return. Then, after she failed to pay two mortgage payments without telling me and then cheated on me, I get to pay $300/mo. for child support to her for a kid who still lives with me 99% of the time.

From puberty (practically) to my divorce, four years ago, I believed it was important to be in a relationship with a woman, that I was a failure if I was alone. I say this because, while it's common to hear women say this, it's less so for a man to admit it. But, some men feel the same way. The past four years have been different for me. Now, when I consider having a woman back in my life, I want no part of it. The cons far outweigh the pros. I wouldn't go back and change what happened, love is …

The reason they don't agree is simple--they are primping to compete against other women for male attention, whether they admit it or not. So, in their minds, men are the root cause of this drive.

Through his success, he has the ear of a LOT of people. If he's making statements like this on stage, even in the context of humor, he is re-enforcing a false and damaging stereotype. Nothing in his act is an off-the-cuff remark, it is all very carefully honed and crafted, every single stutter, pause and word is chosen by him. Like most comedians, he is quite intelligent, he knows he has influence, he may not want or like that part of his success but he knows it's there, he should be more carefu…

I had two male teachers from K - 6, Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Williamson. I didn't like Mr. Gonzales much and he didn't seem to like teaching, but Mr. Williamson was the best grade school teacher I had. As well as I can remember, besides the principal and janitor, they were the only males at the school.

From my experience, one of the parents gets primary custody and that parent gets the child support check. Both parents agree to a schedule of, right down to exactly which days of the year. And, then that is completely thrown out the window and the parents do what ever the hell they want--as long as they both agree, it's all good. The schedule only comes into play if the parents don't agree. How they work out the jobs, child care, etc. is up to them. And not easy.

She asked for it, I filed the paper work. She cheated, and she was sorry because she knew I didn't deserve that, so the legal aspect was easier since she didn't fight much. You imagine that custody, child support, alimony, etc. are primary considerations in a divorce--they are. But, it's far from a cold and detached process, logic and long-term planning are difficult to focus on when your life, your imagined future, your love, is thrown to the wind.

Anyone who has kids can tell you that kids don't follow gender bias, they set it. Girls play with "girl toys" and boys play with "boy toys", not because it's forced upon them but by choice. There is a deeper, biological reason behind gender differences that is real and should not be ignored or fought against. Working against this for some sort of intellectual, ideological sense of what is "fair" is not a good thing. TL;DR Don't fight mother nature, you'll lose.

Yeah, this.

My ex has legal primary custody of our son, but in reality I have had him almost exclusively since the break up.

Men who fight for primary custody often win. Most men don't fight for it. He needs to get through the grief and up to speed with a lawyer ASAP--the wife is way out ahead of him on this. This is another reason women tend to come out ahead.
