If you stole 100K from a bank, you'd go to jail. Steal 100K from this guy and He'll go to jail if he doesn't hand it over. There isn't even any real risk -- just try until you finally succeed.

I believe that data from California showed that the percentage of deadbeat women is much, much higher than men. I also recall that almost all men who did not pay were also well below the poverty line (I don't clearly recall the data for women, but I've never heard of an impoverished woman being ordered to pay child support -- only impoverished men who are told "get a job"). I'd also note that it seems that deadbeat mothers almost never face the punishments and jail time that deadbeat fathers do.

They said he out-earned her by 2x. She was just pissed off because creative works have more stringent regulations to keep her from making a bunch of stories then waiting until after divorce to cash them out.

Creative jobs are a funny area. It's very likely that she's been throwing around a lot of ideas she intends to write during their time together. Most likely, they argued that 10 years is compensation for those ideas. In any case, I'm not extremely interested in people with enough money to pour tens of thousands into divorce court. They are extreme edge cases and are going to squabble no matter what the law says at that point just because they can.

A guy I know (nice enough, but low IQ) got 25 years and a lifetime on the sex offender registry for attempting to meet an imaginary girl. The FBI agent (obviously) had her saying she was in her 20s. They agreed to meet and just before he arrived (at a very public place), he got a text saying she was actually 14. He decided to drive by anyway (figured he'd just leave if that were actually true). I suppose he could have gotten less time, but that was all the more justice his family could afford. I…

How much time can I spend with someone before I am allowed to beat them, rape them, murder them, steal from them, etc? It's not normal to do any of those things no matter how much time is spent with someone. Good parents won't abuse their kids no matter how long they are around them. Bad parents will find excuses to abuse their children no matter how much time they spend.

I'm of the belief that if you did something bad enough to go to prison rather than probation and don't have a partner in your life, perhaps your children are better off in foster care. I don't really care about the whole "women think prison sucks" mantra either. If prison was nice, everyone would want to go there. I'm not saying we need to abuse people in prison, but it certainly doesn't need to be as nice as being outside of prison.

Have you ever had a child? Infants are very expensive. Verify the parent's income wouldn't be hard and would protect the children at this very important time. 3.7M children is a bit of a red herring.

When small children are in abusive environments, their brain undergoes quite a few physical changes (especially the amygdala region). If the state doesn't step in until they are 5-8 years old, this will be a major problem (it will usually be a year or more in these cases before parent's rights are terminated). Most people aren't equipped to deal with these issues. In addition, many people find bonding with older children to be very difficult. Most children who go through the system are these chi…

Why did they choose to shove the pool cue into an anus as opposed to anywhere else? Feelings of empowerment linked to sexual exploitation are undoubtedly the answer. There's a very big difference between questioning if there is evidence that it happened and questioning if shoving a pool cue up someone's butt constitutes rape.

It's all based off the unreasonable assumption that rich kids cost more than poor kids and the unreasonable assumption that parents shouldn't need to account for what they spend their child's money on. If the United States decided (like most other countries) that it costs a certain amount of money to raise a child, then child support issues would go away completely and we would see far fewer split families (not as many reasons to argue over the children when they are no longer pots of gold).

I won't comment on Germany, but in the United States, that wouldn't be the same kind of issue. The US doesn't have the guilt about the holocaust distorting its judgement. Also, in the US, getting an exemption for being Jewish would be trivial (thats the way other religions do things).

I'm not going to blame a race of people based on "lobbying". That doesn't even hold up to trivial investigation because if such laws were passed, your "lobbying" groups would simply lobby for religious exemption (and exemptions for even more extreme things than circumcision are already allowed when religious freedom is involved).

Most female genital mutilation is a prick or small nick of the clitoral hood. Hardly comparable. The fairly distant second is removal of the clitoral hood which is directly comparable to male circumcision. The far more barbarous practices are quite uncommon in comparison and relegated to a few countries so barbaric that the mutilation itself probably doesn't approach the other atrocities of human rights that occur.

If you aren't married, always put your name on the state's putative father registry if you want to remain involved in the child's life. Always have a court admissible paternity test done immediately after the child is born (in this case, she probably claims he isn't actually the father). Record all the things if it's legal in your state. The bigger the papertrail, the better. In the more general sense, there are a couple things that can be done: Make paternity tests mandatory after a child is bo…

Their general assumption is that there are two human sexes, but gender is a spectrum. This is heavily based on the idea that genes have no influence on gender because it is completely a social construct (unless you're gay or otherkin in which case it's genetic).

The effect of having no friends is avoided by the article to it's detriment. While suicide is a big problem here, the majority of those friendless people don't commit suicide.

Warren Farrell covers this in his books (note: I'm speaking in generalities -- of course there are some number of exceptions, but they are exceptions for a reason). Women don't work as hard as men. They don't put in the overtime (most women work less than 36.5 hours/wk), bad environments, weekends, etc. When men and women get married and have children, this problem becomes even more pronounced with women taking time off for children and men working extra hours to provide for what their family ne…

The link to IQ is rather strong. People with high IQ tend to have higher AQ scores (up to the borderline autistic range where there is a drop). Since men make up the majority of people with higher IQs, it seems natural that their distribution for AQ would also be higher.

You are quite correct, but a disproportionate amount of that influence rests with the parent who carries the child to term. A child with a 60 year old father and a 25 year old mother will have far fewer risks and complications than a child with a 25 year old father and a 35-40 year old mother.

Autism is known to be linked to older parents (but especially mothers). In the past couple of generations, women have been spending their 20s trashing their bodies while living the party life and then try to pull the hand brake and have their kids in their 30s. The result is that a whole host of defects (autism being just one of them) start showing up at much higher rates in their children due to these choices. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=autism+%22parental+age%22

I specifically said that gender interactions are important. These happen in almost every other aspect of life. Today, BSA is fairly unique in promoting male-only interactions under a fairly broad set of activities (as opposed to things like boy's sports which tend to be mostly male, but are very specific in their scope). The advantages of integrating girls into BSA are far outweighed by the loss as it is unique while there are many integrated groups to choose from.
/r/MensRights29/10/15 06:02 PM

Girl scouts are in that condition because the female leaders and a lot of the female scouts don't want to be active. Were these people admitted into the BSA, they wouldn't become more active. Instead, the BSA would be force to switch to sedentary activities that appeal to the lowest common denominator.

There's a much bigger issue here that goes unmentioned. Boy scouts have primarily male leadership. The only reason this works is because men are viewed as being okay around boys. You see far less male involvement in girl scouts because men are viewed as threats (this is the same reason why gay men get such a cynical response when it comes to boy scouts). Now consider what happens when you integrate male and female children into a group. The men are viewed as potential threats and must step out l…

This was not rape (at least, there is zero evidence in the OP). This was exploitation given the current system, but those things are still somewhat different. This is the kind of problem that LPS and family court reform should deal with -- not rape laws.

The cognitive dissonance about legal paternal surrender is fascinating, but the MRA in this discussion didn't seem well prepared to answer.

I'd agree with you. A doctor should be completely protected by HIPAA which says that informing a third-party without consent is illegal.

Micro-aggression is a very poor term. It is a reference to subconscious discrimination -- an unfalsifiable piece of nonsense. If the OPs mother meant it as a passive-aggressive attack, then it was not a micro-aggression. If she simply didn't think through the impact it would have on her son, then gently telling her how it made him feel (like he did) is a proper approach. It seems to me that there is very little to be gained by co-opting bad ideas and labels.

This is a very good option and the only hindrance is that the mother's "love" for her child is greater than her desire to know that the child's well-cared for. This issue would be much less controversial if it were not for the stupid policies involved. Consider the situation in the United States. She finds out she's pregnant and tells him. He now has to get a lawyer and play a stacked deck. She's a woman, so he loses in the eyes…

Your argument is flawed on three fronts. First, the idea that a baby won't be adopted is countered by the fact that there aren't enough babies to keep up with the people who want to adopt them. Therefore, sufficient support is not an issue. The issue is that the mother's emotional desire to have a child she can't pay for is regarded as more important than the men forced to pay for that child. Secondly, well-funded welfare does NOT solve this problem. There is no free lunch. If these women are ou…

It's numbers for rape are overall numbers for rape based on random surveys of large groups of people and cover all kinds of rape (not just where the individuals know each other -- even though that is the majority of rape cases).

The CDC study on intimate partner violence disagrees with you. Women rape men at about the same rate that men rape women. The only difference is that nobody talks about when women rape men (they even reclassify it as "forced to penetrate" when the scientists themselves admit there isn't actually a difference).

What differences are there between men and women? I suppose we could discuss physical and mental differences, but neither of these are relevant here. We could also discuss gender spectrum, but even that's not relevant here. Three women exploit a passed out man. Is this somehow related to biology or is it more likely that it's related to women feeling they are permitted to do so? Right and wrong aren't based on gender.

Welcome to Feminism. The Feminism started in the 1950-60s was openly Communist. The creation of a Communist state has historically relied on initiation of class warfare. Class A is led to believe they are mistreated by class B, so conflict begins. Out of this conflict arises a system of simultaneous unity against common class enemy and division amongst class factions. Leaders arise who promise an end to class warfare while still keeping enough division to keep the charade going. After WW2, some …

There's no such thing as positive discrimination.

The biggest source of force in a punch is the mass behind it. While this ceases to be true at higher levels of fighting (or extreme differences in strength), those are not reflective of most violent incidents.

There is no proven method to identify a pedophile before that person has taken action (and such pre-crime ideas are problematic in themselves).

Github must receive a lot of resumes every day. I suspect that when they have people with MA and BS of computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering, the person with a BA i…

He was the adult and she is the minor. By definition, she is unable to consent. It does not matter if she can in reality (or thinks she can), the law is the law (I've said the same thing when it is a boy and an older women). The purpose of consent laws is because most persons her age don't have a firm understanding of consequences. Even if she has been told the risks and even if she thinks at that time that she knows what she wants, the truth is that she does not (both under the law and as a gen…

"They must do so because working culture is still organised by men, who are less involved in childcare." This assertion alone makes the entire piece suspect. This is currently fact because feminism has spread FUD about men all being untrustworthy with children. Even the men who want to play a bigger role in their children's lives (in my experience, this is most men -- and I have yet to see a study to the contrary) they are driven away by society itself. In effect, society forced men to ignore ch…

If all mothers and fathers leave work because they don't like to "behave like working people" (aka contributing instead of mooching off the system), then society collapses.

Most people are moderates. These moderates are the ones who give power to the extremists. The best example of this is feminism where extreme gender feminists co-opt the label of the moderate "coffee shop" feminists to push the extreme agenda. Harnessing the majority moderates is the best method of pushing legislation. During the civil rights movement of the mid 1900s, it was the extremists (eg.

In that state it is, so your argument is irrelevant. Further, persons in a position of authority are exceptions in most states with age of consent below 18 (and is a considering factor in all rape cases in general). Finally, there is strict policy against teachers engaging in sexual acts with their students without regard to age of consent (this is due to both accepted ethics and the position of authority).

A factor the author does not account for is that most fights go to the floor. Once you're on the floor, weight, height, and upper body strength are extremely important. I'm sure that the author would make the claim that avoiding this is the mark of a skilled fighter, but such skills rely on you fighting in an open area with room to maneuver while most fights occur in close quarters. An important factor the author doesn't mention is the use of a weapon. A woman (or a small man for that matter) wi…

Is your leering causing physical harm? As long as this behavior does not restrict physical movement (eg. like physically stalking a person may despite no contact), then what injury has occurred? Staring at somebody is the visual equivalent to saying something a person may find offensive.

I believe the guy should be told in all cases but rape. What if the rapist is female? Should the child be turned over to the state? Should the male victim be offered sole custody? What about the ridiculous idea of suing male rape victims for child support? Keep in mind that even the CDC study from 2010 showed that as many or more men were raped (AKA forced to penetrate) as women in the United States, so it is only logical to assume that there are as many children from women raping men as from me…

The existence of a parental instinct in either the father or the mother is not relevant to my point (and their existence to some degree seems likely as they exist in almost all other mammals). Even if a mother (or father) feels a desire to care for a child, this has no bearing on the knowledge or ability to do so in any meaningful or proper manner. Additionally, the existence of parental instinct doesn't mean that this instinct is greater than the parent's selfish desires and thus may only be of…

I don't think you're right. You discredit women's suffering, and make it into a men's plight. That's not sensible. Rape and murder of women is bad, and it does not benefit the victim at all. The implication of this statement is that the rape and murder of men is less bad and sometimes benefits the victim.

If a man wants a committed relationship, he'd better move to a "third-world" country that doesn't screw him over legally where caring for your spouse and children doesn't make you a rapist and pedophile. If a man doesn't want to move out of country (and doesn't want to get screwed over in court), the only recourses are PUA and MGTOW. PUA still carries huge risks related to allegations of sexual misconduct or pregnancy. Only MGTOW offers men a chance to live their lives with minimal risk of legal…

Even though I see MGTOW as better and less risky than PUA, I find it amusing when these articles publish PUA "warning signs". The whole reason that PUA works is because it simulates the relationship a woman desires and the only warning sign (the man's lack of commitment) can't appear until later anyway. This gives woment the choice of avoiding any man she thinks she likes for fear that he's a PUA or just seeing what happens. Alternately, I find them putting a man asking a woman if he can kiss he…

The amount of trust is proportional to the amount of risk.

http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf "forced to penetrate" happens almost as frequently as rape but legally different and carrying a lesser penalty (so if a girl forces herself on a passed out drunk man, she faces a lesser charge and it isn't counted as a rape).

You are correct; however, standard practice is to remove the person from the abuser until the legal aspects can be worked out (and often there is not enough evidence for conviction or pleading guilty to a lesser charge has the abuser free and out for even more violence before very long).

Why should a man leave an abusive relationship when he's done nothing wrong? If he feels legitimately threatened (as claimed), then the situation is very similar and in both cases, removing yourself from the situation is the first step. He could create a new twitter account later, but for now, waiting for twitter or someone else to do something is psychologically damaging and he should do what he can to stop that from continuing.

Everyone has the right to be offended, but that right should stop there. Free speech and "I'm offended by that" are different. If you want to say something, instead point out that the jokes are misandrist/sexist. If they respond to that, they will be in a losing position since pointing out the hypocracy (that most certainly will be there) shouldn't be hard. Fight the rational battle, don't be the person using emotions as an excuse to silence people.

My understanding was that Israel tried using female soldiers and found that their male soldiers were taking abnormal, stupid risks for their female comrades. They also found (as a product of the local upbringing) that opponents fought harder rather than surrender to women.

I think the term has just enough rope to hang itself. It seems that one cannot negotiate with ideology. The people pushing the gender wars have far too much power and money to gain from us becoming collateral damage. These people must also be idealogical feminists. Anything less doesn't buy the next yacht. As a result, they will reject the word if it becomes associated with MHRA else they will misappropriate it to equate to feminist ideology. There is no middle ground in these politics.

While I strongly disagree with his ultimate position (I do agree with him almost completely up to around 13:00 in that video), wishing someone physical harm doesn't help your position and shows that you have problems accepting that people disagree with your views. The MRM can never hope to change people's perspectives while making such caustic and violent attacks against individuals. Whedon "bought" the idea of Feminism just like so many other men and women because he thinks he sees something go…

You are correct. It follows a pattern, but that doesn't mean the pattern is correct. To add a few things: First, the poster is subtly imbalanced in favor of the woman's perspective (4 vs 3). This creates a perceived value connection when only a few items are present (the effect would mostly disappear if the list were 100 items long, but is quite strong when there's just 7 and the 7 are color-coded). Second, it is a very well known point of sales to get the individual saying "yes, yes, yes" and t…

At least the article author's honest that she's a trophy wife and gold digger. I wish more women with this mindset would be that explicit; it would save time.

How unfit does a mother have to be for her to go back to court (courts known to be biased against men) and get the judge to say "Daily contact with their mother is not in their interests" The fact that she would take to the newspaper and also claim (with zero evidence) that her husband is somehow responsible for slower childhood development indicates to me that she has some very deep-seated psychological disorders.

The woman has about 340 million reasons to date the guy. I'm quite curious about what transpired as well as she stands to make a lot of money from all this and I agree that people don't usually fly off the handle over nothing. The fact that there's no mention of a coroner or ICU makes me wonder about the true state of affairs.

One of those is a stereotype and more than a little racist. The other -- that women esp. mothers are most likely to abuse and murder children -- is fact (though a generalization is still sexist due to the relatively low overall case numbers). There's a world of difference between them.

It could also be argued that most women are having sex with the same subset of men. Sterilizing these men reduces complications. An additional problem is that of the invasiveness of the proceedure. Tubal litigation is major surgery with many risks and complications while a vasectomy is not. If these risks cause the woman anxiety (quite likely as medical personnel are required to disclose them), then the operations -- free or not -- will not be performed and the loss will still occur. Part of thi…

I support his innocence until proven guilty, but it seems like there was some convincing evidence here. If they do indeed have the video they claim (and it shows what they claim it shows), then the man is guilty and deserves punishment for his actions.

Men run the world. Although most men have little or no REAL power, men: fight the battles, work the mines, run the oil rigs, cut the lumber, do the farming, design the buildings and commodities, construct the buildings, pump the water, dump the sewage, turn the generators, fill the factories, ship the goods, fix the broken parts, etc... And men do it all without getting respect or thanks. While there are women in those occupations, their representation in most of these fields is seldom even 5-10…

False allegations are only a small percentage of all rape cases, so why focus on him? He's probably a rapist anyway. The ex-girlfriend is the one who is suffering here. She needs help and focusing attention on the mistakes she makes hurts HER. It's misogynists like you MRA that hurt women everywhere by standing up for falsely accused men. /s

Depending on the part of the country, the men may just start breaking in the donkeys... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VKWLC87Uzw In all seriousness though, it's an interesting test of the "patriarchy." If the patriarchy exists, then that region will have a huge increase in the number of rapes and women (NOT men) will be given the dangerous job of being shot at while performing the backbreaking work of repairing the roads (introducing them to steam powered earth movers aka the sweat and shovel …

She'll probably blame it on the guy with her (therefore justifying the media imperative that behind every woman abuser is a man). EDIT: I stand completely corrected. That said, 9-30 seems far less than a man would get for performing the same barbarities on a woman.

is that really a transfer of wealth from men to women, or a transfer of wealth from higher wage earne Considering that high-earning women also benefit from the additional coverage while low-earning men do not, there seems to be little evidence that the transfer is wealth-based.

This man was forcibly stripped of his rights, stripped of his clothes, and then sexually abused (aka raped). I'm sorry, the X-ray alone was conclusive enough proof to eliminate any suspicion. The first rectal probe made almost completely certain. The first enema made ABSOLUTELY certain. The continuance of these proceedures without reason while under the supervision of a medical doctor (who either knew full well the evil of his/her deeds else should have his/her license revoked for stupidity), ca…

titillating In all seriousness though, why does the disrobement matter? I'm not the morality police. The only relevant points are them acting a little stupid and drinking a little too much (funny how those two ideas seem connected) blaming the man working there. Since it seems nobody bought their story, there isn't much of an issue (plus, in my experience, such a request being taken to an extreme by someone intoxicated isn't abnormal and it could have happened).

My point is that the term 'hate crime' is legally obscure, judicially near-meaningless, politically and emotionally charged, and is an implicit ad-hominem. Additive punishment for a crime based on a belief is itself is a form of thought policing -- punishing someone because they don't "think the right way." Dispute those facts logically and rationally or agree to disagree, but please, do not simply state something as fact and call me out based on your predetermined belief.

Why do people use the term 'hate crime'? According to the US congress, the term means “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.” Which is simply 'discrimination'. The 'hate' label is applied to make the action FEEL worse and disassociate the labeled individual from the persons own collective 'world group'. The irony is that this effect allows people to de-humanize t…

Quite true. Many people have become disenchanted with feminism. Now is the perfect time to tell them about mens rights issues. The problem that I've seen here is that "people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care". Many MRM representatives are abrasive and offensive. It is impossible to 'sell' most people on an idea unless they have some amount of trust in you and believe you are offering them something they need and that benefits them. I believe the movement currently l…

And apparently 'consent' (according to that person) also requires psychic powers. When their body says 'yes' and their voice doesn't say 'no', the only option left is telepathy (or awkwardly assaulting everyone having sex just in case...)

I imagine that the benefits of breastfeeding are far outweighed by the experiences the child has being around women who were bad enough to be given hard time rather than the usual wrist slapping. Erik Erikson's psychosocial development dictates that 'trust vs. mistrust' and 'autonomy vs shame and doubt' may both be extremely influenced during the time when breastfeeding occurs. What outcomes do prison and prison inmates support? I suspect that the father or foster care have a greater chance of b…

You've been taught one thing about female behavior your whole life and something quite different occured. This creates a severe cognitive dissonance. The natural response is to rationalize away the behaviour instead of modifying your world view. You are not able to rationalize such experiences. As a result, you react to the inappropriate sexual contact of your colleague and are left with the rationalized question "why did I react like that?" The answer is that your emotions can't be rationalized…

m people telling them they should feel traumatized. In a book a read, the author describes how a friend was raped by a priest, which her brain (she was young) described as "icky". Now, that is obviously wrong, but consensual (ignoring statutory stuff) would pro I agree that such predatory behavior is awful, but stating that a 15 year old male MUST love such a relationship is not supported by any research I've read. Males of that age (moreso than females of that age) don't realize the significanc…

I would not say that a man getting an erection implies consent. Likewise, a woman getting wet does not imply consent. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/magazine/25desire-t.html?pagewanted=all&_r=4& The above article makes the case that women do so partially as a biological self-defense mechanism. I believe she's on the correct road (which as expected is neither as extreme as many Feminists nor as extreme as some MRA).
