She thinks threatening to force men to pay $10,000 if they get their partner pregnant is going to terrify and shock them! Has she never heard of Child Support? Where men are already forced to pay 25% or more of their income for 18 years if their partner gets pregnant? The average US wage is about $52k. 25% of that over 18 years is $234,000.

| 6 | The ability to see all of women’s inner thoughts on TwoX really taught me a lot. Seeing seemingly normal ladies say awful things casually has completely eroded my trust in them.There was a thread in 2X the other day that I considered posting here. It was about men's role in Feminism. The comments were about a 70%/30% split. 70% were of the opinion that Feminism was for women only and men should not be involved, and Feminsm should only do things that benefit women. 30% were of the opinion that Feminism should benefit women only, but that they should lie to men and tell them it benefits men too, so that men will help the cause.

It's just a bunch of people (women) sitting around coming up with an idea, and if it sounds about right, then the issue is settled. No experimentation, no testing of theories, no looking for examples that disprove a theory. And just as Aristotle declared that heavy objects fall faster, they make declarations that have no supporting evidence except gut feeling.

The force is still “striving for more female representation across the ranks.”Unfortunately it probably does. There are studies that show female police officers are much more likely to use firearms, and lethal force.

Once it arrives (he should be able to tell when it was signed for online) he should give her 6 hours to take the test and send him a photo of her holding the positive test.

Everyone is telling me that I shouldn’t respond because she’s a woman, and as a man, I can’t win—even though I have text proof of all her lies. What now?There's this social idea that men are supposed to be stoic and just take abuse that is thrown at them. Likewise there's a social expectation that men are supposed to act 'like a gentleman' and fight fair. There's no social expectation for women to be stoic, or fight fair. The reality is that a lot of women know this, and use it to their advantage. So some women will use the most underhanded despicable tactics to hurt men they think have wronged them in some way. And they assume that the men will… | /r/MensRights | 01/10/20 03:33 AM |

Thus female behaviour and attitudes have become defined as 'normal'. Men who exhibit normal male behaviour are treated as faulty women. These fields are largely unable to help men, because they don't even understand men anymore.

The only thing the law cares about is whether you're married to her.. If a married woman gets pregnant, the law automatically assumes the husband is the father.

| 2 | Dad pays child support, discovers there was no-one to pay it toOne of the most infuriating issues with this case is the police publicly saying that no-one had reported the little girl or her mother missing until 2013. Yet the father approached the police in 2008 and 2009, asking them for help to locate his daughter so he could serve the mother with Family Court papers. The police refused to help. This whole story is a horrible tragedy, but it's just another example of a child being placed in danger after the relationship with her father was severed. | /r/MensRights | 21/10/14 09:50 PM |

Step 2: Once there is a fair amount of support for Step 1, begin to demand that all citizens engage in activity/behaviour 'X', criticize and demean those that fail to engage in activity 'X'.

| 9 | Question about the impact the MRM has had on the internet.I'd say it's slowly been growing over the last 4-5 years. There's a couple of things to consider. Firstly since you've started to take an interest in men's issues, you've probably become more likely to visit sites or articles that discuss gender related issues so you see more discussion about men. But more than that you've started to look at things from a different perspective, you've learned to ask questions.

| 6 | This is kind of a general LGBT and gender prejudice issue, but stillWhen the education system has been designed to favour girls, and girls (unsurprisingly) outperform boys, of course boys are going to view education as a female (or at least "unmanly") activity. Especially when it's presented to them almost exclusively by female teachers. So if the boys in question come from a culture that has very specific expectations of manly behaviour, is anyone really surprised?

| 1 | A few thoughts on mobilization, picking your targets, picking your battles, and masculism in general...Go back a few generations, and you'll see that even the richest man only got to have one wife, and they were together "till death". Most women stayed virgins until marriage, or at least kept their partner count low and were discreet about it. And sex outside of marriage was frowned on, or outright forbidden. Fast forward to modern feminist raunch culture and you'll see that wealthy men have incredibly easy access to sex with as many women as they want.

Lower marriage rates mean less women qualify for the spouse or widows social security allowance. Then they quote the wage gap myth a few times to say that women will get less social security than men. Their conclusion: Women are being disadvantaged by divorcing their husbands, we should give them more money.

| 1 | A few thoughts on mobilization, picking your targets, picking your battles, and masculism in general...If you're waiting for some rich guy to come riding in to fund the MRM, you'll be waiting a long time. Really wealthy men actually benefit from feminism (lots of sex) and are insulated from many of its worst effects (billionaires don't get jailed for unpaid child support). And for any owner of a large business, publicly/financially supporting mens, or even fathers rights could be very risky from a public relations standpoint.

But most of the drive didn't come from government passing laws, it was from women running teacher training colleges, they were referencing dodgy studies and then making changes to the way teachers taught their classes.

Maybe its because she's young, but she just doesn't get it, like a ten year old who's read a book about driving, and is trying to tell you how to do it. As for the rest of the contributors...

A large number of feminist organisations such as domestic violence shelters (and their anti-male lobbying) are reliant on government funding.

If a woman can't support a child on her own, custody should be given to the father. If she wants a fathers financial assistance, then perhaps she should consider negotiating a fair contact agreement with the father in exchange for his financial support. I understand some people might be offended at the idea of paying to see your children, but it would produce a more equitable outcome that our current systems. | /r/MensRights | 08/06/11 07:25 PM |
