Of course they have the right to know. Feeling bad doesn't mean you deny the test (I'm not sure why you even need the mother's permission for this, especially if the child is already born and independent of her body). But feelings do exist and it's normal human nature for a woman to feel somewhat hurt when something like this is brought up.

It's hard not to feel a bit hurt since it means there's some doubt in the trust. Of course since I participated in this discussion, I get that it's more of a universal and somewhat standard concern and not a personal suspicion, but it's still hard to not instinctively feel bad about it. For people that were never part of a discussion like this, I'm sure they can get really upset because it feels like an accusation and probably translates to something like the father saying "I think you cheated o…

The competition aspect will always be there, but I think bringing awareness is always important and effective. Many people simply doesn't realize men are bothered by a lot of issues. I'm an optimist when it comes to human nature so I think most people want to help, they just need a little encouragement and assurance they're doing the right thing. Perhaps after that experience some of those guys will speak up next time, because they know that's the right thing to do.

I think just talk to her? She might not know it's bothering you so much. She might think you're fine cuz you make so much anyways, I had ppl do that to me too when I out earn them a lot. Right now we don't know enough about how much she insist on this and why.

Men are also encouraged to challenge other men. If a teenage boy challenges another teenage boy to anything, and the boy backs down, he gets looked down upon. If the same situation happens with two girls, they're more likely to be encouraged and praised for getting along. Men are also biologically wired to be more competitive, although society push that even more.

I think the main problem is men's issues don't have an appeal to the general public. Yes men that's affected and their families get pissed off, but people that's unaffected doesn't really get pissed off. Women are much more likely to cry and ask for help, and people like to protect the weak, or someone that admits weakness. MRA groups make a lot of good points, but I think a more emotional appeal will work better. The world needs to see examples of tear jerking tragic stories.

People are allowed to have prejudice. It's not wrong as in it's illegal or people should be you up over it, but people can definitely judge you for it, and if you act on it (eg. in the capacity of an employer) you can get discrimination charges. Personally I judge people based on a lot of stereotypes and if I'm vocal about them I'm pretty sure I'll have a lot of people angry at me and it would not be a smart thing to do. But those initial judgements are really just placeholders since I don't kno…

Yeah, these parents seem really weird, this is like how tumblr would parent.. too focused on trying to be "progressive" and not dealing with reality at all. They're in their 40's too which is weird. Hopefully they realize this makes no sense early on and scrap the idea. And also if their daughter has enough self respect this would be insulting to her as well since it's saying she needs a handicap in life. It's gonna be so awkward all around.

I think the school system is very biased towards one learning style, it's a really rough process trying to fit many types of people. I think the main issue is budget though, the currently teaching style requires the least amount of effort and resources by teachers and schools... I remember the best teachers I had really tried to make learning immersive, fun, and game-like, but it took a lot of personal efforts on their part.

Yeah I know, the son's going to get pretty resentful in his late teens especially. It never said it was a good idea. You said he's doing this "Because you love her more. Stop lying to yourself." I'm just saying he probably doesn't love the daughter more but honestly believe that he needs to fill the wage gap by just throwing money at her (which is a dumb way to go about it anyways).

I totally get why it's frustrating from your end. But likely you're just meeting a lot of assholes and because you have great mannerisms towards women, you feel a bit betrayed when they're rude to you in return. I would be pissed off too if I was constantly and specifically nice to a group of people and they seem to treat me like shit.

I don't think the dad loves the daughter more, many parents honestly believe certain things that are widely believed and thinks what they're doing is in the best interest of their children. Parents generally treat boys and girls differently because of this. This is just really obvious and financial.

Sorry about the late response, been caught up in stuff lately. Yes, marriage is just a contract, but it has sentimental meaning to most people. Children are going to feel bad anyways if their parents divorce, and most already married couples isn't going to take divorce well because that contract has emotional meaning to them. You have no emotional attachment to marriage and that's fine, and I'm assuming your SO understands that. OP seems to be in a different boat, he has exiting emotional attach…

You seem to be suggesting this guy divorce regardless, as a just in case thing. It feels like you're tell him to execute a plan where he can plan for a divorce in the future at a optimal time. The guy doesn't hate his wife, their marriage seems fine. Don't create issues where there isn't one. And kids do get hurt when their parents divorce regardless, adult children get hurt when their parents divorce when they're not home anymore.

Other than some snide comments from his kids, I really see nothing wrong with his family situation at all. I feel like most of this thread is trying to push for aggression b/w the husband and the wife when I don't think it's necessary the way it is now. They're still kids with a very black/white and highly volatile view of situations.

I'll present my own experience with this as the daughter. Your daughters are still just 5 and 8, and they might not understand the sacrifices you have to make in order to bring home that much money. Likely they don't have a sense of what a lot of money is. They spend most of their time with their mom and will naturally gravitate towards her purely from seeing her more. From their perspective it will look like you're away all the time, don't do much, and both of you are working. Kids sometimes sa…

As a woman in STEM, within the system you're treated very well and given way more opportunities upon graduation (I actually doubt anyone denies that within the system). I'm pretty sure people might think sexist stuff occasionally but none of it ever affected me and any negative thoughts are generally kept to themselves. If there's any discrimination it's generally from outside the system/the older generation. I don't directly work with customers but if I did they'll probably trust a guy more tha…

There is a big difference between stoicism and emotional unintelligence, and I don't see why so many people are so eager to connect the two. Often being unstoic is a result of showing emotion. Breaking down crying is a release of emotions. When young men are taught to not cry when things happen, the message of not showing the emotion can easily be interpreted as trying to not feel the emotion. If a group of kids grow up in a state where they feel like emotions are not important and when they con…

I was looking for a place in Toronto for an acquaintance (eg. friend of a friend that I generally believe to be good but has too sketchy of a past for me to be ok with living with me) to crash a while back when he was homeless, it's very difficult if you're not young (under 24/25) or a woman. There was a place but it was famous for being violent and unsafe there. It's definitely a huge problem.

My point is that because this is India, other factors aren't there to support women if this is exploited. Again I might be biased cuz of the news articles I read but I feel like if a woman is raped the husband can exploit this law and divorce her with no financial support? Obviously in the case where she just marries the other guy it works but I'm not sure how often that would actually happen given how conservative it is there.

I think this law might be a good direction to go if it was implemented in America (although the condition is weird). But this is India, maybe I'm reading too much biased news, but I think it's likely that a law like this can be exploited to make it really unfair for the women.

To be a bit cynical I feel like it would only change when a few really bad tragedies happen and become very heavily publicized. Right now people just doesn't feel instinctive fear of women being violent. I admit seeing a woman attacking a man with a knife would probably make me call the cops based on logic, but the fear and urgency I would feel wouldn't be close to if I saw a man attacking a woman, which will set off all the alarms and red flags. It's basic bias based on what we see growing up. …

The inequality between women and men are caused by difference between women and men and when unchecked, causes a lot of issues for both parties. Women are treated as weaker and isn't given power/taken seriously, and men are expected to tough out anything and everything w/o complaining. This is two sides of the same coin. Both have issues that should be dealt with, but currently only women's side (feminism) had made significant legal and societal changes that give women some relief from their iss…

Being big and tall does come off as naturally threatening. I never actually realized how much a person's size affects situations where there's conflict until I explicitly looked for it. Bigger guys are generally more calm probably cuz people react badly to them when they're not, but if even the slightest hint of them getting upset everyone acts like they're about to go on a rampage. And the size difference can be very small compared to the difference in effect they have on people. If someone as …

It's never good when you eject any parent (assuming they're not abusive). Sometimes one parent adapts to take on both roles but ejecting any parent should be only done in extreme situations. My dad is totally unconfronational, but the fact that he's physically strong (and looks that way) helps with feeling safe. Feeling safe means you're less likely to be intimidated by external pressures.

It's probably because most kids/people that play with dolls are girls/women, and they can like dress the dolls up/do their hair, so having girl dolls makes more sense. And also although this may sound bad, girl dolls looks prettier so they sell better.

I don't know why I'm the only person here mentioning this, but I think it's really obvious why it's different b/w men and women. It's the same reason women often feels unsafe walking alone in the dark. There's a strength difference between the two. A man on average isn't going to be too intimidated when a woman is being a creep since he more likely than not can defend himself if needed. A woman in the same situation will be more scared since on average she can't win a physical encounter. Most pe…

This is sort of a childish thing to do, a day off work doesn't really affect your income that much. I think it would be harder to get that past your boss than your wife and it doesn't prove anything. It's common sense that if a significant amount of the workforce stops working things will break, which is why there's rules against people doing that. It has nothing to do with men and women.

New York IS sketchy, it's not worth the risk for most girls if they're alone (or even if they're not). You can't take the culture of one area and transpose it onto another. Most girls there probably will avoid or ignore people like this, if you happen to be the one girl that doesn't, you might become a target. Because of the culture, the guys there may read a polite response as more of an invitation rather than a simple hi.

That might not be a very good idea. Depending on the area and feel of the person, acknowledging them might encourage them to keep trying. There are people that's genuinely nice, but if you happen to run into just one really desperate person that won't leave you alone in a sketchy area, then that's not worth the risk.

Talk to your wife, let her know that you need to stop doing the chores because it's stressing you out, and just stop doing them. Someone in the house has to pick up that slack because it has to be done. If she's really that stubborn then the lack of food/clean laundry/cleanliness will drive her crazy and she'll want to leave. As for the kids... maybe you just don't like them, but kids tend to be bratty and what you're describing seems like general kids behavior.

It's honorable because he didn't have to do it. No one made him not take that money. I don't think alimony or child support is a major issue when both parties are rich, there were a few family friends that divorced and I've never heard of debates around child support before (usually alimony's not an issue). People get a lot more uptight when they're financially insecure. Generally if the woman has a small income or even no income, they're more likely to get fierce about demanding payments.

I'm not surprised they'll be upset at first since it's unexpected and most women are not mentally prepared to deal with this nor would they actually have enough experience in deal with something like this. Let the initial upset stage pass a bit and explain that you're just the type of person that likes to take this slowly, and assure her that this doesn't mean you don't like her (because that's what she's probably worried about at this point), and do some non-sexual stuff with her to re-enforce …

This isn't a business transaction though, and is held to a different standard. Both parties would likely be declared not fit to enter into any contractual obligations if the issue is pushed.

It's because most people don't believe the average woman and do any substantial damage when assaulting the average man without a weapon. Part of why it's a bit deal to hit a woman or anyone physically weaker is because of the fear of "what can happen if this continues".

If I was telling a story and randomly mentioned I lived in Canada when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand, people won't be as upset as if I were to mention I was a girl even though both are irrelevant. The only difference is that being a girl would cause you be treated differently online than if you lived in Canada, b…

The issue is that you can't identify as a girl or woman in some parts of the internet w/o being treated differently, whether it's people trying to gain your favor, hating on you or trolling you. Practically this is very annoying since we're used to identifying ourselves in real life w/o any repercussions, so a girl on the internet would have to somewhat learn to use gender neutral sentences in order to avoid drama and trolling. The issue is really just how the internet's grown and I would expect…

Volatility is not the same thing as return on investment. Volatility means the value moves around a lot and you chart shows that. Moving up really fast is also a sign of volatility, and usually the more volatile the investment is the more return you'll expect from it. It can go up really fast, but it can also go down really fast. At the age of say 30 you don't care that much since if it moves down that sucks but you can make it back, but if it moves up you make a whole lot of money which is awes…

It depends on where you live and the laws. It also depends on her nature. There's certain legal advantages you get from being married, and also in some places if you're living together for long enough you're deemed to be married anyways. If you don't tell her though, it would be a surprise to many girls that you don't want to get married and could possibly be a deal breaker (depending on her ofc), in that case it's a moral thing to do to tell her your intentions as soon as you made up your mind.

It's about the supply/demand, no one really want to watch a male only tournament, they would just watch the normal one. So it's difficult to get a prize pool for that and it's a losing investment. Female only tournaments generally only exists as a novelty tournament and I doubt the prize pool is anywhere close to the main one, but there's probably enough people that want to watch that to make a separate prize pool.

Because of historical laws and traditions.

I think marriage wasn't used to be something that benefited both parties, marriage was a way that women used to protect herself financially before they had any power in society. It's essentially a man's promise to support her in exchange for having her. Now it's just sort of a symbolic milestone.

As a woman, it's more of you grow up thinking when you hit a guy it doesn't hurt. When you threaten or display violence as a kid people don't take it seriously so you end up thinking it's no big deal.

This is a generalized statement for developed countries with human rights vs non-developed countries. Don't read into it too much out of that context. Economically a country becomes much more productive when they allow women into the workforce and educate them, because when you have 100% of the people doing stuff it's more effective than 50% of the people doing stuff, so it's a major turning point.

It's not that it's more important, it's just the sensation that came with the honor killings was mainly due to their family members killing the women in order to somehow restore honor in their family, which is a much more messed up way of thinking than if the villagers burned her or something.

I'm not surprised that men are killed more as they're probably expected to do more. I'm not sure that's directly relevant to the reason we're upset about honor killings though.

A proper analogy is that only the father of the child is able to implant these fertilized eggs (eg. one that belongs to another woman) into the mother without her knowledge.

There's nothing wrong with sourcing the whole paper for everyone to read without bias, and your quote is quite intentionally trying too hard to find things that agree with you. I haven't fully read either article but Falling'SnowAngel's article is a much more reputable source than OP's. If you're going to make a valid point, use actual evidence and don't use word tricks.

Yeah I agree, it totally makes sense to try to be someone's friend first and see if you hit it off. It just doesn't make sense if you never make your intentions clear and is upset that it didn't work and the other person is treating you like a friend. Her rant is one sided since she's a girl and she's just venting about specific situations she's been in, and to be fair men complain about friendzoning way more than women.

Sorry, I might not be understanding something, but I don't really see any part of her rant that's wrong. It's not like she's leading on anyone, she just expressing her dislike for people that pretends to be a friend, and then get upset because friendly behavior doesn't get him anything else other than a friend?

I donno, too lazy to look back but I don't recall you expressing it being limited to your own personal life until very late in the thread, then I think the topic changed into the right to defend yourself or something. And I specifically mentioned many times if you're like that it's ok, but you can project that to other ppl. Plus my first comment was that the woman would have a choice if she wants to be protected by you or not, and I'm not sure why you would respond so defensively to that stateme…

There wasn't really a question, you mentioned somewhere that women should listen to/obey men since men are trying to protect them and they can't if the women doesn't obey them. I commented that it's their choice if they want to be protected or not, and then you said something about honor and how that meant I would let my SO be hit and walk away. And then the topic kept changing.

Then why did you even bring up the obeying thing? It doesn't make sense for you to bring that up and expect it to never be relevant. And also, orders = go wash the dishes / pay the bills

I'm only trying to give a hypothesis on why some parts of society thinks that fathers cannot be a good parent. Because they don't see dads doing the same nurturing stuff as moms, and remember their moms being more involved in the details of their lives. They assume that once the couple separate the dads are going to continue to be as disengaged (compared to the moms) as they did before, which isn't true because father will adapt to not having the mom around and take on a lot of nurturing roles. …

I know that's not the case, most fathers I meet are great parents. I think when you have both parents and the relationship is good, they start specializing. Generally the dad will specialize into doing things like financial support, making sure the general home environment is well, challenging the kids more, discipline (not so much if it's a girl) etc. and the mother specializes into more seemingly nurturing roles like emotional support, hugs/warm fuzzy feeling stuff, keeping everyone well fed, …

My initial retort to you was purely towards the statement you made where you think women should obey men because "how can you protect someone that doesn't listen to you". It has nothing else to do with divorce laws. In fact, the main reason for these divorce laws and criminal court cases is biased against men because people tend to think men generally has more power and can take care of himself while the woman needs extra protection from the law. From what I heard of your opinions, I would've th…

The legal system is a different debate, yeah you can sometimes get sued for seriously hurting someone that's invading your house or even charged, that's not the point of the discussion though. I have no idea how my first paragraph has anything to do with meeting someone... I didn't see anything in your thread (in this comment chain at least) that said anything about limiting it to your own household, but if your wife has an understanding with you that you'll protect her and she'll listen to you,…

Because it's likely that she has knowledge on these criminals, the police likely knows more about a gang activities than you do since they deal with them on a regular basis (eg. generally how much violence they use in what situations, what part of the gang you pissed off). They can tell you how much danger you're in given what you did and she probably knows best what your next actions should be and how to get to safety.

If you can give some examples of my "faulty assumptions and childish reasoning" that would be nice. Your argument is that the woman should obey you since you're trying to protect her. This is outside self determination or authority over yourself, it's trying to control the actions of someone else. You have all the right to want to protect, but you can't make someone comply with you on that decision if they don't want to. So... basically you're saying if you're in danger from, for example, a gang…

True, but it's not a very different argument than what you're making which is independent women are miserable all the time, since you probably got that impression from a few angry rants from some feminists. And here we have pages of angry rants from you. I actually don't think you're miserable, but isn't it quite stupid that I make a decision about how happy you are based on theories in my head? So don't try to tell people how happy they are.

Um... what part of what I said implies that if someone smashes my S.O up side the head I walk away? You complain a lot about your comments being misread but you do that more than the people you complain about. A woman is expected to defend her family as well, in a physical situation a man is usually better suited to do so, but it doesn't mean if you're bleeding to death she should just run away and leave you to die. Also, not all threats are physical in nature, if you're trapped by an avalanche …

I think you and I live in a different world/culture. Most nerds I know go to bars with other buddies to drink, rarely do they go there for any serious relationships, and it's expected that you would fail if you don't look good.

I think the only problem is that the people that care would look into it, and the people that don't won't and will have this impression. If people care enough to look into it, chances are they're open minded enough to act accordingly in their lives anyways.

"were" To be honest, in most of my friends' relationships the girl makes more money than the guy... and yeah the guy's attractiveness is quite important, there's this guy that's a genius that's probably gonna be very very rich in the future but no one really want to date him because he doesn't look very good.

First of all, I think looking at people in a bar isn't very representative of the world. Try looking at how people are various wealth levels are doing vs attractive people and if being attractive would actually compensate for a $150k salary. Why is a nerd with an $150k salary doing in a bar anyways? Bars are an extrovert's home field, some people do well in it and some don't. I think someone making $150k will do pretty well honestly, most people making money at that level also tend to get partne…

If someone asked you to protect them and it's agreed between you guys to do so, then yeah it makes sense for them to listen to you. But not everyone wants to be protected, and in that case they would have no reason to listen to you.

Yes, because she might be more capable in dealing with the danger than you. It's sexist because you assume she wouldn't in any situation. Even if you are physically stronger, she might have more experience in dealing with the problem and it's better to listen to her in that situation. Pure muscle doesn't give you the authority to make judgments if you know nothing about how to deal with it.

Personally I was called a tom boy and I liked it, but I wanted to associate with being boy-ish when I was little. It felt like if I told people I was a tom boy it's easier for them to understand me and treat me more like the way I wanted to be treated. I never had a negative connotation being attached to it before. But maybe it's bad when people call you a tom boy based on appearance alone, there's no reason for that...

How is a woman destroying property more socially acceptable than when a man does it? This is one area where I think people treat both sides the same. If the guy burns the woman's stuff, she can't do anything about it other than get pissed off and maybe leave the relationship if it becomes too much. I haven't ever heard of a woman going to a shelter or something b/c the guy keep destroying her stuff, especially in the context of cheating which is the context of this video.

I believe that would only be an issue if the destruction of property is used as intimidation or a threat of violence towards the actual person. In this case she's trashing the car and isn't implying that she's going to attack him. I know where you're coming from but this is a very bad thread to bring this up since is this situation was flipped I doubt anything would change.

... why? Destruction of property is domestic violence now? What if she smashed a cup? Or are we just classifying property over $5000 or something? I think violence has to apply to people, aggression towards property is vandalism. Either way this has nothing to do with men's rights.

When was destroying property considered domestic violence? This is someone destroying someone's else's property, but how is it a men's rights issue? If a man murders a woman b/c she's cheating is it a women's rights issue simply b/c the victim is a woman?

I think men had always been more disposable than women, but women had many other issues and were oppressed for a very long period of time. Women's issues are more glaring and upfront unfair. We somewhat sorted out the women's issues in the west now, and are just beginning to realize that men had some issues too. It just takes time for people to adjust their thinking.

We don't pay people based on body count though...

I get it that if it's a physical fight people will rush to the woman's rescue, but in destroying property people are generally treated the same. In this specific example, the woman's being a jerk but "look at this woman being a jerk" doesn't have anything to do with rights... they're married, but if they were not he can definitely sue for damages…
