So men and boys lose the boy scouts and women and girls get to keep girl guides? This is fucking disgusting! This was not imposed upon the scouts in any way. The scouts did this of their own volition to continue functioning financially after the Mormon church decided to get their distance, owing in part to the boy scouts standing up for gay boys and men. Remember that. This is the consequence from having become financially reliant on a church that just couldnt get behind the idea of standing up …

It’s been a while since I played this though, but can you only ask gender once there’s a certain number of people left? I can’t remember. Maybe it could be a banned question. http://www.boardgamecapital.com/guess-who-rules.htm Not at all.

As a reminder, Mary Kay Lateaurno served a whopping 3 months for grooming and molesting her 12 year old student, and Debra LaFave's lawyer successfully argued "But, she's too pretty to go to jail" and got her a plea deal which included zero prison time for molesting a 14 yr old student.

Literally petitioning to raise some costs and practicing a more selective application of where charitable funds would go. This led to a sort of prohibitive cost associated with scouting. In my area, that was the difference between being able to attend scout camp or not for a whole lot of kids. Once they realized that they simply couldnt afford to participate in the scouting experience and whatnot...well you get the idea. Meanwhile, the LDS had their own internal fundraisers for their kids. So be…

Are they seriously thinking that there will be more than 400k+ girls that will join the org? Really? Was that the plan? TBH, the Mormon influence within scouting has driven a lot of the costs associated with it UP.

Well, it's obvious. Parenthood should be based on consent. "should" and "are" are not synonymous. If someone does not consent to parenthood, then they should be absolved of responsibility. If a woman finds herself pregnant, she is not able to opt out of responsibility. She must see the pregnancy through until either an abortion, adoption, safe surrender, or raising the child is complete. Men are held to the same level of responsibility as women, with ability defined by the given differences dict…

Well hold on a second... The reason the western world upholds abortion as a woman's choice is almost entirely contingent upon upholding a right of self defense. The statistics have repeatedly shown that women who have an abortion at or before approximately the end of the first trimester are less likely to die as a result of their pregnancy. It's a fact that pregnancy poses a very real threat of maternal mortality. However, this is not a fact which applies to us men. It applies exclusively to wom…

Edit: link deleted for legal concerns, privacy, presumed not guilty status, etc. Original text below. It's only got the list of offenders from the U.S. on it, but that's 64 guys and no women listed. (17 of which are teacers, principles, janitors or retired, plus two more "school employees. 6 in law enforcement, some clergy, boy scouts and medical professionals. Basically, the list is a perfect stereotype... except maybe the amount of cops, depending on your life experience.

Stuff like this is why I have contended that the penetration model of what legally defines rape is so stupid. She can drug you, put a gun to your head, and force you to "go downtown." But, because of no penetration... while there's sexual assault in there, not rape in the eyes of the law.

This is a huge myth. Us men actually spend more time and money as a direct 1 on 1 comparison in men vs women. We just hide our shit better. "I bought a car" goes over a lot easier, is much more costly and generally takes more time than purchasing 20 new pairs of shoes. The difference is that we tend to be so very utilitarian in our purchases, hence more costly, and it seems like it's an exception to our everyday lives, rather than a habit of adding to our wardrobes twice a month.

It's seeming like women balk at objectification because they genuinely can't relate; sex is something else to them. Guaranteed that most of em like to look at least once a month. The stigma around gawking arises from the pre-supposition of a woman's "purity" or other status as a gatekeeper of sex. I call bullshit on the re-enforcement of this perception. If it was true, there'd be no such thing as a suave mother fucker, nor would we have a problem with female sexual predators. To say that women …

I come from the other side of the coin. I was raised without a father, but with a dad. I always felt particularly lucky that I grew up in a home that involved people who, rather than getting me by chance, chose to take me on and embrace me. While it may not be any sort of compensation for the sort of void or emptiness you may feel, it's important to recognize that your mother chose you, however you turned out to be. For that, you are more fortunate than most.

http://www.aauw.org/2014/09/18/gender-pay-gap/ This is the point in the story when critics like to stomp all over the 78-cent statistic. Much of what they say is fair: This number doesn’t take into consideration factors like industry, education, and experience. But this number is important because it offers a snapshot of where women stand in making money for their families. And the big pay gap number makes clear that, for whatever reason, women are making less money than men. Period. Of course A…

Punishment would entail denying the child something to which they are entitled. No father? No entitlement. All anyone is asking, is to make the jump from presumption of fatherhood to confirmation of parenthood to the same extent that women currently experience. Given that many/most states have statutes of limitations placed on men regarding paternity testing, the only request at the heart of this issue is equality before the law between the sexes.

That kind of exemplifies my point. In common culture, you will definitely find people who refer to the holocaust as an ethnic cleansing. Makes sense. BUT, people are a little pressed to refer to it as a slaughter of the Hebrew people, which is far more in line with that than calling it a massacre of the Jewish people. Inversely, people tend to refer to the holocaust as a slaughter of the Jews, but more hard pressed to call it a religious cleansing than they are to call it an ethnic cleansing. Li…

If having an abortion, that is a woman's responsibility, not a man's. Nothing in Roe V Wade says a pregnant woman is not responsible to go get one. Evidently, you believe men should not have an equal responsibility in the event that the child is born and kept. I am not sure what part of you thinks that it makes sense to sideline the rights of a child in favor of your financial privilege, but it's nonsense. If you are not willing to be held to the same standard, you are asking for special treatme…

I don't see that as equal parental responsibilities. It seems to me that despite it taking two to make a child, the man still has little to say over that child who takes half of his DNA from him. That's not a parental responsibility that you're mentioning, that is parental privilege. If a woman doesn't want to keep the child she can put it up for adoption or simply have an abortion. So what about a man's right to continue be a father in the event that the woman chooses not to be a mother? If the…

So essentially women have the right to have sex and forego parental responsibilities in the event of pregnancy, but men do not, and that's that? [...] There doesn't have to be an abortion, just laws in place that dictate how and when parental responsibilities are assigned during pregnancy that allows either to opt in or out, and how to share resulting expenses based on that choice. It's not quite as cut and dry as you put it. "Parental responsibilities" as a concept is a subset, consequence of a…

In my view, men's rights is not about equal outcomes, equal award counts, equal seats in government, or equal violent deaths. Rather, it's about equal opportunities, de-segregation, judging individuals on their merits. Now imagine this. (easy numbers) For every combat MOS, there are 5 support MOSs. Someone to cook, someone in logistics, and so forth. At present time, the military is approximately 16% female, 84% male. So first, let's scale that up. Let's call that 16 men in the field, 84 men and…

I'm a little confused. On the one hand, this lawsuit is predicated on there being no good reason to exclude women from Selective Service. On the other, there seems to be a whole lot of opposition in terms of opening combat-based MOS's to women based on performance trials. The whole point of the draft is, at it's core, to provide for a larger number of Service Members to allow our military to be stronger and more effective. It's a numbers game. To achieve that, you need people in support roles. C…

If the numbers showed that abortions performed in a clinical setting prior to the end of the first Trimester (US standard) resulted in a higher mortality rate for women than carrying a child to term, then the legal justification for prohibiting state involvement would be sorely lacking.

"Why do I owe her the benefits of being with me after the marriage but I receive no guarantee of any benefits from her during or after the marriage not even her faithfulness?" Marriage isn't a tit for tat "you owe" scenario. If that's the way you view it, you've got some growing up to do. That's on you, not her. Also, if she cheated on you, you have to consider why into your view.

That's the difference between mandatory testing and a petition for a paternity test.
/r/MensRights29/02/16 07:37 PM

Mandatory and optional are two very different animals. The state is not my parent, and doesn't have the authority to violate my medical privacy like that, nor should it. Now, if I requested such a paternity test, that's an entirely separate story. In most states to my knowledge, either parent can do that.

Do men have to pay child support without being able to ask for a paternity test? Yes and no. It depends on where you are, and the behavior of the parents of the child. Basically, if the father bolts and runs to another state and doesn't respond to all those nice letters of summons and child support and whatnot, he's on a time-frame. (I want to say 5 years) of which he can contest paternity. If he doesn't, that's kind of on him at that point. Either parent can request a paternity test, but those …

Hmm, the math here is bad. How?

Thus it every day renders the exercise of the free agency of man less useful and less frequent; it circumscribes the will within a narrower range and gradually robs a man of all the uses of himself. The principle of equality has prepared men for these things;it has predisposed men to endure them and often to look on them as benefits. After having thus successively taken each member of…

Given that the entirety of the comments here center on the comparison of the right to vote for women versus the right to vote for men, you can't just discard men from the discussion. You want to discard men's struggles to vote in order to make your position easier to defend. What I'm pointing out is that standards change as society progresses.

When discussing things in terms of a necessary evil, I would think that the less people involved, the better. Where arbitrary lines can be drawn (such as 18 years of age), those lines serve only to …

Women have been voting in industrialized countries for, what, 100 years? And yet not a single woman has been drafted to die in a war? 100 women and 1 man can repopulate a village in a year. 100 men and 1 woman cannot. At it's base, this is the essential reason that men fight wars and women don't. We're disposable, biologically speaking, more than women are. If your goal is to succeed (or lose to a lesser degree) in a contest of who can kill the other's population more, you really shouldn't expec…

Basically, I look at it from the flip side. If you're someone who is good at volleyball, you have the opportunity to make the team better. If you exercise every day, you can help others by teaching a class at the gym. Is this not a major part of what scouting is all about? The boy scouts seem poised to be improved by allowing these girls to join. Considering that women have joined in the boy scouts for more than a hundred years, I really don't think it's that unreasonable of a request, and the r…

Well, tbh, the boy scouts hasn't been a male only group since the first den mother, or the first kid to stick up for his sister who wanted to join in on learning what her brother was up to, or since requiring anyone who work at a scout camp (male or female) register as a boy scout. Essentially you have a group of girls saying "you're not exclusively male, and we want to join." The guys response? "but, you're not male."

While boys and girls are different, if a group of girls and women have determined that men and boys have led the way to a preferable set of ethics and activities, I say let em join. The more people who embrace the lifestyle of doing a good turn daily, of being trustworthy and loyal and all the rest, the better. It seems they are finding a way to embrace that despite their disappointment with the girl scouts. How cool is that? Standing up for what you believe to be right in the face of adversity …

I'm a life-long scout here myself, and the thing that I always felt the scouts strongest point was the ethics behind it. In that regard, scouting is for everyone. The whole idea behind it is mentorship, learning or teaching how to be a better person more than anything else. It doesn't matter if some kid has a hearing aid, if some kid is gay, or if some kid is a girl. It just doesn't matter. If you want to learn and participate in making yourself and others better, there's really not a rationale …

The idea that we have to have a massive number of bodies on the ground is misconception in modern warfare, conventional or not., large scale or not.

Service member here. Reprehensible would be a draft. If someone doesn't want to be in the service, we have little use for that person in the first place. Next, we value families a lot, especially the kids. Locking up a child's mom for being pregnant with them is not going to contribute to that child growing up in a physically or mentally healthy environment. We do not volunteer years of our lives for the goal of punishing children for no fault of their own. We also have things like leave, profil…

lol, 1 week at the range in basic spent mostly waiting your turn in line to shotgun your weapon and declare "no ass, no brammo" to a drill sgt hardly qualifies as making someone a killer.

Most people assume that's what the military is all about. Reality is very few of the jobs in any branch consist of anything remotely consisting of "killing people," let alone in the Navy. For every one service member who has to go downrange, you've got 30 more people in support occupations. Someone to overcook the burgers, someone to screw up their paycheck, someone to lose their shot record, someone to check their clothing record... get it? Also, getting the training to be able to do horrific t…

Did I ever say the guy should be found guilty without due process?

Money Shmoney. No reason to presume guilt against either party here until the courts have finished their work. Even then, who knows? I mean, who really knows? On the flip side, it is understandable that a DV victim wouldn't want to be near an abuser. To state otherwise disregards the sort of psychological trauma that can come with stress and violence at the hands of someone who purports to care about you, This is an issue that really isn't exclusive to either gender, but ought to be held up by g…

Nice to know I'm an exception to the rule. (5'3, former slut, managed to get away without contracting anything before getting married and flexing the skills bestowed upon me by previous experience. Yay me?) Anywho, the whole "tall guy, short woman" thing is, as best as I can discern, an evolutionary throwback to an extent. We as men often prefer women to look in ways that symbolize youth. Rosy cheeks, red lips(tick), nice skin... height also plays a factor into that. Considering historical conte…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
