| 26 | Johnny Depp Wins On All Counts and 15 Million DollarsYeah, Depp fucked up by going too far in his public comments about Heard, and that's where the $2 million judgment in her favor comes in. Totally understandable that he was enraged to be falsely accused of domestic violence, but a good reminder for the rest of us that if you're falsely accused, let your lawyer do the talking for you. | /r/MensRights | 01/06/22 07:44 PM |

| 20 | VIDEO: Heather Mac Donald defends due process, debunks 1-in-5 rape stat as hostile crowd shrieks in protest | This woman is doing incredible work in the face of massive hostility from campus feminists who don't want to hear the facts.What really depresses me is that college campuses, which ought to be all about dialogue, have become one of the worst places for dialogue. The whole point of going to college should be exposing yourself to challenging new ideas, and instead it's all about going off into your own little bubble where your preconceived notions will be protected and anyone who challenges your ideas will be shouted down. | /r/MensRights | 25/02/20 10:40 AM |
| 2 | Equality, as described by society and feministsCrazy thing is it was a history class where it was totally irrelevant to the subject. The instructor just decided to start talking about domestic violence even though it had nothing to do with anything we were studying, and then started conflating "domestic violence" with "men hitting women" as if those two terms are synonymous. | /r/MensRights | 24/02/20 11:20 AM |
| 1 | Equality, as described by society and feministsDo you talk about men's rights on Twitter? I've noticed that people with blue checkmarks are basically unanimously anti-men's rights, just curious if you talk about it on Twitter.

| 6 | Equality, as described by society and feministsWhen I was in college I had a class where the instructor just randomly said, "Can every man here pledge to never hit a woman?" Every single male in the class except me said yes. I said, "I can pledge to never hit anyone, male or female, without a legitimate reason. But if I had to hit anyone, male or female, to protect myself or someone else, I would." For saying that, the instructor laid into me in front of the whole class and basically made me out to be Chris Brown. Equality should mean equali… | /r/MensRights | 24/02/20 10:06 AM |
| 30 | Watch: A blind man enters a women's only subway car in MexicoIf his eyesight was completely gone, he probably figured he was being pushed on to the tracks or something. I have a friend who's blind. He's able to be quite independent, but the one thing that terrifies him is if people touch him when he's not expecting it. It's usually people who think they're being helpful by like guiding him toward a door or something, but he hates it. But to be shoved off a train? I can't imagine how terrifying that would be if you're blind. | /r/MensRights | 17/12/19 01:37 AM |

White knight to the rescue.It's something everyone has to consider, that we never know the full context of a situation we're coming upon.

| 5 | Newspaper editorial: Broadcasters made light of male football player's pants falling down, wouldn't do the same to a female athleteThis is hardly the most serious issue in the world, but I was glad to see a mainstream newspaper point out this double standard: If a female athlete's pants fell down while she was competing, there's no way an American television network would show multiple angles of her bare butt and make jokes about it. But that's what happened to a male football player in a nationally televised game on Saturday night.

Convicted female murder gets a hug from her own judge.For some reason I was thinking the jury decides guilty/not guilty and the judge then imposes the sentence based on law/parameters of the case.

For instance, are nursing jobs opened up to male applicants first? I would oppose it anyway because I think the best candidate for the job should get the job regardless of sex, but if males can also benefit then you could at least argue that the overall program is not discriminatory. | /r/MensRights | 24/09/19 12:49 PM |

If he were really so mature and she were really so immature, she wouldn't have been hired to babysit him. If he's immature enough that he can't stay home alone, and she's mature enough that she can be responsible for overseeing a child, then she damn well knows she's not allowed to have sex with that child. | /r/MensRights | 12/09/19 02:01 PM |

She later got married, had a kid, left the workforce, then got divorced. I'm still Facebook friends with her and she frequently posts about how "unfair" it is that she "fell behind" in her career because she stayed home with her kid. | /r/MensRights | 25/08/19 03:23 PM |

In my current job, I really believe in our mission and am proud of our work, so I gladly take on additional responsibilities, which has come with raises and promotions. In my previous job, I really didn't care for it and only did what was required of me, no more, and I never got promoted, but I also had a lot of free time because it was a pretty easy 9-5 job.

I do know many, many, many people who make jokes about prison rape and will say things about male convicted criminals like, "He'll have plenty of time to think about his crime while he's getting pounded in the ass by Bubba in the shower" -- things they would never say about female convicted criminals. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/19 10:22 AM |

In the first paragraph he says that women who accuse men of sexual violence deserve to be believed, then the rest of the essay is about why we should believe him over the woman accusing him. The truth is, we shouldn't "believe men" or "believe women."

Theoretically, yes, 32 years is the most she could serve. In reality, sentences don't work like that.

If you argue that's backward and we should penalize what a criminal was trying to do rather than what a criminal actually did, fine, make that argument.

Most people are focusing on how enormous the $1.2 million total payment is, but I think what's worse is the way the payment is divided: The courts are saying the ex-wife, a healthy adult fully capable of supporting herself if she chooses, deserves nine times as muc… | /r/MensRights | 20/12/16 11:27 AM |

However, I am glad this prosecutor threw the book at this defendant. We've seen too many cases of female teachers getting gentler treatment than male teache… | /r/MensRights | 05/04/16 05:41 PM |
| 15 | Bullied boy turns the tables on his girl tormentor - then white knights who were watching the whole thing come.That is absolutely terrifying. Our society really, really has to do something about the way so many children are subjected to violence from their peers. | /r/MensRights | 05/04/16 01:17 PM |
| 2 | Five Top Female Players Accuse U.S. Soccer of Wage DiscriminationIt's interesting that the same newspaper publishing this article today also published an article today about a very popular male model who doesn't even make enough money to quit his day job: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/03/business/media/with-romance-novels-booming-beefcake-sells-but-it-doesnt-pay.html There seems to be a great sense of outrage that female soccer players are paid less than male soccer players, but no outrage that female models are paid more than male models. Why? | /r/MensRights | 31/03/16 01:06 PM |
| 8 | Hulk Hogan Takes Stand in His Sex-Tape Lawsuit Against GawkerGood point. I think it sucks for both Erin Andrews and Hulk Hogan that this happened to them, but the legal merits of the two cases are very different. The equivalent of the Andrews suit for Hogan is suing Bubba "The Love Sponge" Clem, who made the tape. Hogan already settled his suit with Clem. This is a very different case, with First Amendment implications. If Andrews sued a website that published her tape, that would be the equivalent of what Hogan is doing. So far, anyway, Andrews has not d… | /r/MensRights | 08/03/16 02:51 PM |
| 6 | (X-post from TIFU) OP believes false rape accusation and ruins his son's life.I don't know if there's any group of people in America more vulnerable to rape than male prison inmates. Perhaps the most awful thing about America's rape culture is the way it's treated as acceptable, or even amusing, when a man is raped in prison. | /r/MensRights | 12/02/16 02:54 PM |
| 3 | Lawyers for U-Va. dean: Jackie lied to Rolling Stone about gang rape, ‘invented’ story zoster newsIt's just incredible that neither the writer nor any editor at Rolling Stone bothered to make any attempt at verifying the story told by "Jackie." I used to work at a newspaper and we'd get people contacting us making outrageous claims about their bosses or their neighbors or a local politician or something, and everyone who worked there knew that there was no way we'd publish that stuff without verifiable proof, and that most of the time when someone contacted the newspaper with a story like th… | /r/MensRights | 08/01/16 07:16 PM |
| 7 | How is this fair? If they're both drunk why is it the guys fault?Could you link to where the people who put the poster out admitted it was wrong? I've never seen that. | /r/MensRights | 03/01/16 01:24 PM |
| 5 | How is this fair? If they're both drunk why is it the guys fault?Don't trials require evidence? In a perfect world, a conviction requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt. In the real world, a conviction only requires convincing 12 jurors, many of whom will be swayed more by emotion than by facts. Or, in some cases, there is no trial. Brian Banks, for instance, pleaded guilty even though he was innocent. His lawyer told him jurors usually believe accusers and that if he was convicted he'd get 20 years in prison, so when the prosecutor offered a deal for five y… | /r/MensRights | 03/01/16 01:21 PM |
| 7 | Man wrongfully convicted of Waukegan rape gets $990,000 settlementNo, it says DNA findings ruled him out as the source of semen recovered from the victim. Note that prosecutors spent SIX MORE YEARS trying to get him put back in prison even after DNA evidence exonerated him. The prosecutors concocted this ridiculous idea that maybe the semen came from some other man she'd had consensual sex with (even though she specifically said she hadn't had consensual sex with anyone) and maybe he had raped her without leaving any DNA evidence. That's how badly the deck is … | /r/MensRights | 11/12/15 01:22 PM |
| 3 | Shocking footage shows two Washington DC cops wrestle innocent black man to the ground, after a woman said he made her feel "uncomfortable" near an ATM. Man released without charge.Actually, the Supreme Court has ruled that if you flee at the sight of police, that in and of itself is enough for the police to stop and search you. http://www.nytimes.com/2000/01/13/us/supreme-court-roundup-flight-can-justify-search-by-police-high-court-rules.html?pagewanted=all The best course of action if the police want to stop you is to stop and cooperate, and demand to speak to a lawyer if they want to detain you for anything more than a quick question or two. I say this as someone who ha… | /r/MensRights | 16/10/15 02:32 PM |
| 0 | Army Secretary posits women should register for the draft if accepted in combat roles.Thank you for this. I get really, really tired about the feminist strawmen I see in the men's rights community. Back when we had the draft, the vast majority of feminists opposed the Vietnam War and wanted to abolish the draft entirely. But most of them acknowledged that if we were going to have the draft, men and women should both be drafted. It was the anti-feminist women like Phyllis Schlafly who wanted to keep the draft and keep it men-only. If you oppose that, criticize Phyllis Schlafly and… | /r/MensRights | 13/10/15 12:50 PM |
| 1 | Is this me just being picky or should this be free to everyone who wants to try hockey?Does the Park City Ice Arena also offer an opportunity for boys and men to have a free figure skating session? If so, I'd say it sounds reasonable -- hockey is seen as a "male" sport and figure skating is seen as a "female" sport, and if they're trying to get more people of both sexes interested in both sports, I think that's fair. If they do it only for women and don't offer any commensurate opportunities for men, I think that's unfair. | /r/MensRights | 07/10/15 10:27 PM |
| 2 | Feminists Killing the Messenger: Reporter Accused of Being Anti-Woman Simply for Covering Story about Female Army RangersThat's just not the culture of the military. If you're trying to make the Rangers and an officer tells you to go to preparatory training, you do it. Whether you're male or female, whether you think it's right for them to send you to the preparatory training or not. | /r/MensRights | 02/10/15 02:25 AM |
| 10 | Feminists Killing the Messenger: Reporter Accused of Being Anti-Woman Simply for Covering Story about Female Army RangersSeems like a well-reported article to me. Interesting that it indicates the female Ranger candidates did NOT ask for special treatment. They wanted to make it on their own merits. Rather, it was the male Army leadership that thought it would be good PR to have women in the Rangers who put pressure on the Ranger School instructors to make sure some women passed. | /r/MensRights | 01/10/15 06:05 PM |
| 39 | Same city, same year. Man has sex with 15yo girl he believed to be 19, goes straight to jail. Woman has sex with her 14yo male student, avoids jail because judge "did not believe the woman deserved to go to jail".Are you willfully ignoring the point? This is not about the male being "right." It is about the preferential treatment given to a 37-year-old woman who used her position as a teacher to rape a 14-year-old boy. | /r/MensRights | 18/09/15 02:13 PM |

There's a word for it when you make sexual contact with someone who is begging you to stop, and that word is not "steamy encounter." | /r/MensRights | 08/09/15 12:58 PM |
