I think the point of the extreme example was to clearly show that it is not always fair to make both parties pay for one persons choice even if it is in the best interest of the child. Currently laws are set up in a way that is always in the best interest of the child, despite malicious actions, giving men minimal reproductive rights.

Spot on. They should encourage reporting and give them support they need but the decision to report should be up to the accuser. Obviously the university should take no action against the accused unless law enforcement are involved.

The mod wasn't saying your view are extreme so they aren't welcome here, he was saying that you made a massive wall of topics and some of them relate to fringe or controversial political topics. He was warning people not to glance at the title and upvote because the topics covered were heavy and politically partisan. No one ever said you weren't free to express your opinions here.

One key feature of the bill would encourage victims to report allegations to law enforcement professionals by making it a prerequisite for requesting a campus disciplinary hearing They need to be very careful with this. Campuses should still have ways to report sexual misconduct without having to get law enforcement involved. Requiring law enforcement involvement before disciplinary hearings is a great idea though. We should have professionals dealing with this sort of thing.

Let me paint it this way for you. I am a male professional fighter and I am at the bar. A woman walks by and squeezes my butt. I drag her outside of the bar and viciously assault her with my professionally trained punches. I am celebrated as a hero and everybody realizes what a piece of shit that woman is for sexually assaulting me.

Was there as much diversity in the industries 40 years ago? No. So all these men that have 40 years of experience in their field now have these management roles. Senior roles are not starting positions and depend greatly on personal experience. I can see this gap closing in the next few decades.

Okay I still think you're confused so I'll try to explain this in a different way. If two people are having sex and person A says they want to stop then they must stop. If person B forces to continue then it is rape. If two people are having sex and person A says they want to stop then they must stop. If person B stops everything is fine and no crime has been commit. In summary; stop means stop.

Where I am (Canada) this is the definition for consent: 273.1 (1) Subject to subsection (2) and subsection 265(3), “consent” means, for the purposes of sections 271, 272 and 273, the voluntary agreement of the complainant to engage in the sexual activity in question. (e) the complainant, having consented to engage in sexual activity, expresses, by words or conduct, a lack of agreement to continue to engage in the activity I'm pretty sure it's the same in the US. By law you can retract consent at…
/r/MensRights14/07/15 01:25 AM

I don't mean retracting previous consent, I mean revoke consent to continue. You can stop at any time you want. If mid sex you choose you don't want to continue you can revoke consent and stop.

That's where I can see this being controversial. Consent can be revoked for any time before or during sex so consent beforehand is not the whole story. That being said, as we saw in a study a short while back, most "rape" is from misunderstanding so this tool is a way for both parties to really discuss the consent beforehand. Feminists keep going on about wanting to talk about consent so they should be celebrating this tool.

"He said to the bouncers 'help me, help me, I am being attacked.' But they turned round and said 'we don't want that sort of thing here.' Just imagine a woman being attacked by a man calling for help to be ignored with "we don't want that sort of thing here." I bet you'll have trouble imagining because it's never happened in history. Better chance to see a unicorn than to see men and women being treated equally.

There is a lot of focus on evil women and less so on actual men's rights. The posts are meant to show change public perception to how both men and women can be equally evil but is just preaching to the choir and comes off as circle jerking about evil women.

Wow I had no idea. In Canada as far as I know they only breathe test you if they have reason to believe you are drunk. If men were being "randomly" chosen to be breathalyzed 5 times more often than women it would be obvious discrimination.

I think you are completely missing my point. I personally think the this arrest and the media campaign were coincidental as I doubt the officers were radical feminists. I've already acknowledged the judicial bias in my second sentence so I should not be expected to show an example of this happening to women. I'm just saying this was silly cherry-picked case that should not be talked about as much as it is.
/r/MensRights02/06/15 07:19 PM

But everyone here already knows women can be just as evil as men so who are we trying to show? To me it just seems like we are circle-jerking about women doing evil things. E: Unless the content is explicitly showing a double standard I don't think it is appropriate here.
/r/MensRights02/06/15 07:14 PM

I understand why the mods allow for the content as it does show double standards but too often it is stories about mother killing their children or dumb relationship stuff, or stories about violent women. There is a big difference between showing double standards and just trying to show how evil women are. I don't come to this sub to read about female murderers, I just want to deal with men's rights and the "women being bad" articles get in the way too often.

I completely agree but this should not be used as a symbol for a lack of men's rights. This was just cops being assholes and was immediately found to be unlawful. It would be like if a cop arrested you for not covering your mouth while you sneeze. A judge would immediately call the arrest unlawful and I am positive the story would be a laughing stock like this one.

This was a case of officers being jerks not exactly a symbol of men losing civil liberties. There is definitely a problem for men in the criminal justice system but this has to be the most cherry picked case of all.

I disagree with this article because to me it looks like the president tried to avoid shaking her hand, probably because carrying the mattress onto the stage is absolutely disrespectful and inappropriate.

I don't think the traditionalist family is financially viable anymore. Most households require two incomes whereas in the past this was not only unnecessary but discouraged. The traditional family cannot work because it is not financially possible like it was many years ago and maternity/paternity leave is the solution to this modern problem.

If we are to correct the disparity between male homemakers and female homemakers than we need greater incentives for male homemakers. We need paid paternity leave for all fathers, but NOT paid maternity leave. Women are the ones that actually need to physically birth a child. How could you promote paternity leave but not support maternity leave at all? Having only paternity leave and no maternity leave would mean stay-at-home dad in the ONLY option.

Nevertheless, I don't see why pharmaceuticals in Canada would not want to get in on the male birth control market.

A more accurate definition would be to swap the word "grounds" for "pretext", but even the existing definition fails to do what the feminists think it does: Instead it demonstrates that feminism is, in fact a sexist ideology.

It is just an odd situation and many possibilities of how you may have gotten a black eye. Domestic violence is usually something that crosses peoples minds. Also some people have little or no filter so they say awkward stuff. Women don't typically play sports or work in dangerous conditions so stereotypically someone would assume domestic violence and you would probably get death glares.

Thanks for posting this. Sadly most of the MRA attention about Baltimore seems to be about a mother mad about her kid going out to riot and not about the protesting. Men, especially black men and poor men, are being unfairly targeted by police. This issue needs MRA support.

Although technically a man could claim he was raped after a few drinks...rape laws are written going after whoever performs the penetration. Thats the problem. Rape laws should be written around the consent of the act not the act itself. That's the way it is in Canada. Also in Canada age of consent is 16 so this crime in question would only be questionable because of the power she had as the teacher.

Depends on how you're classifying violence. Women are more likely to abuse children, and far more likely to instigate domestic violence. They're also far less likely to get arrested for it, or face any criminal charges, so you can't really count on the arrest/conviction data. They're low. Yeah DV is likely 50/50 but not violent crimes as a whole. Gang activity and murders are almost entirely male. Do you seriously think rape and violence are 50/50? Ignoring all statistics and based on my persona…

Okay, fine. Women can be deceitful and manipulative and men can be violent abusive rapists. On average men are more violent and more likely to rape but I don't think it would be right to condemn the entire sex to that generalization. It does nothing but promote hate.

Im not familiar with the law in question so excuse my ignorance. Currently cop cars have dashcams so I would assume an individual can make a similar FoIA request with that footage. Although it would be a larger invasion of privacy for the officers (which I honestly don't care much about as they are in service of the public) I fail too see how body cams would be much different from dash cams.

Well technically neither does infant circumcision, right? Because your standpoint is purely semantic, just like every poster that complains "This isn't a men's rights issue."

Not allowing a father to get a court order to stop a woman pregnant by him from drinking is a men's rights issue because it denies men the standing required to defend their children from an outrageous attack. A father should not need to protect the human rights of his child at all. Those rights should be granted by default. Drinking during pregnancy should be considered child endangerment but still has no relation to men or men's rights.

Any opinions contrary to the circle-jerk are immediately rejected. Any outside opinions not commonly recognized by MRAs are immediately rejected. That is (1) a bad ideology and (2) a terrible PR move.

I respectfully disagree but fully understand why you take that position. While feminism clearly has very toxic elements to it but so does some flavors of the MRM. While I reject mainstream feminism I will still support feminism by dictionary definition alone, perhaps that makes me a womans rights activist, doesn't really matter to me. I'm more concerned with specific actions than labels.

From the article: "33.2 percent of teen boys with a sexual assault history who reported attempting suicide, only 27.1 percent of teen girls with a similar history reported a suicide attempt". So although more boys will attempt suicide after sexual assault than girls the effect is pretty much the same. This is why we have age of consent laws.

Men and boys are taught from birth that she should never hit or harm women. Most men are especially horrified at the thought of women being harmed. Our society is constantly seeking to protect women from harm by all means. If ll that is true, and I believe it is, then how could this society possibly think it is acceptable to rape women.

Such a sad, difficult, and unique crime. It truly is which is why I have such a hard time advocating for either "side". Legally we need to maintain due process for the accused and that can leave very little power to incriminate rapists. I'm a bit more akin to the feminist idea of educating people about how sexual assault can happen and how to protect yourself and gather evidence/report. Though I'm not sure how I feel about Ontario's new sex ed program. Seems a little too early for me.

Yeah that usually is the swing for so many of these 'false accusation' stats. It is best just to disregard the dismissed cases altogether and only focus on the ones that are proven true or false.

That's why, as Jesse Walker has noted, any serious anti-poverty program must include criminal justice reform. I think this would be the best course of action for men's rights. 1. Men are the majority of the homeless. 2. Discrimination in criminal trials faces men and black people similarly 3. Media would support this because it aligns with the narrative of helping people of colour and ending poverty; socially acceptable issues.

People should be assumed they are lieing. Listen, there is a huge difference between wanting due process for accused people and assuming all rape reports are lies.

However, putting men through kangaroo campus courts is not the answer. Far from helping, they are actually doing more harm (screwing over innocent men and allowing real rapists to walk free) and need to be abolished. It is just making a bad situation worse.

Let's say there is a judge order for some form of visitation or shared time of the child between the rapist and the victim. You are effectively forcing a parental relationship between them based around the child. I think this is absolutely awful for the government to do but you are allowed to disagree with me.

That's a false equivalency raised by feminists. It is very related and he never said they were the same just similar. I personally think its wrong when the law forces a connection between perpetrator and victim over children in both of these issues. Criminals have basic civil rights the same as anyone. That's the same logic the judge uses when he forced a rape victim to pay child support. If it makes me "just like a feminist to try and say they are similar" then so be it.

Assaults should be required to be reported to the police by the university, no exceptions allowed. This allows the accused to face the accusation directly and clear their name immediately.

Sometimes victims of sexual assault do not want to report to the police. If a policy forces all reports to go to the police they will not report at all, which is very very bad.

You make a good point but the reason we have laws against this is to protect young people from abuse. If we purely looked for how the victim was harmed (for both male and female victims) we would introduce a very unnecessary bias.

Most of these are consequences of being found wrongly guilty in trial but not necessarily during a polygraph test. But I think you're right, it's not about who is more or less traumatized especially since we are talking about results for a polygraph test.

I think if the victim actually was traumatized from the rape they would be much more stressed than the assailant.

The NIBRS defines Statutory Rape as “Nonforcible sexual intercourse with a person who is under the statutory age of consent,” and further explains that “If the victim was incapable of giving consent because of his/her youth or mental impairment, either temporary or permanent, law enforcement should classify the offense as Rape, not Statutory Rape.”

They don't want to try to pass a bill that will be shot down immediately as being anti-child. That being said, I agree with you. I think a bill should be formed that is absolutely fair to men that are victims of paternity fraud even if it is "anti-child". I think the bill being shot down would still raise more awareness about the issue than no bill at all. People will not support this if they don't even know it is an issue so I think the awareness approach is the best option.

That's what I was just thinking about. I can't think about anyway to avoid paternity fraud that would not harm the child unless it was before the child was born. Perhaps providing an option for paternal testing during the pregnancy.

In my opinion the most unjust part of paternity fraud is forcing men to pay child support for a child that is not their own. Here are a couple idea: 1) Removing the burden of child support for fathers who prove they are not the biological father; men may still waive this option and continue paying child support if they choose. 2) Give the option to men to have a paternity test in order to have them qualified to pay child support; men may waive this option if they choose.

Even adolescent circumcision is okay in my opinion because an adolescent can at the very least understand what is happening to them and can voice opinions and objections. 2) The idea of "health benefits" of circumcision is shaky at best. If we are talking about preventing STIs and HIV I would say that babies are not having intercourse so that decision could wait until they are at an age to consent. The parents would obviously hav…

That said, toxic masculinity is definitely a thing. For instance, men aren't allowed to be emotional--excepting anger, frustration, rage, etc. This is problematic in an enormous number of ways. Not exactly true. Men are allowed to be emotional only when the situation is necessary. Men are not supposed to be emotional over trivial things. Why? Because men are expected to keep a level head and not let emotion overtake them. They are supposed to be strong emotionally in order to support the people …

Toxic masculinity is the same self-fulfilling argument as blaming "the patriarchy". What you need to do is look at men's issues and ask if feminism is trying to fight the issues: Mens suicide rate: No, these stats are marginalized and ignored by feminist outlets Men homelessness: Men are 90% of the homeless but there are a countless number more womens shelters than men's shelters (it isn't the patriarchy that runs shelters) Female desire for a breadwinner: The vast majority of women want a man w…

You're right, men do not have the same career choices that women do. It is either (a) a good paying job or (b) youre a failure as a man. The point is it comes down to saying "the patriarchy makes men feel the need to be breadwinners" rather than the unfortunate truths that: women want men with good careers, nobody else will support a man except for himself. Unless a man with a shit job has a homerun personality his value on the mating market will be shit.

Underage people ESPECIALLY BOYS are too young to make mature decisions. This kind of abuse can have extremely harmful psychological backlashes later in life.

Young females are arguably more able to make mature decisions on the basis that they mature faster than boys do. When taking about an underage female we never even question whether she wanted to…

I agree. I think the lack of positive male role models would play another significant role. Boys raised without (non-abusive)fathers have a whole medicine cabinet of issues that come along with it. Often young men without positive role models will be raised by other older males wherein a poor population could likely be a criminal. Im going to make a bold statement and say that if more familys had fathers there would be less crime.

No because someone accused of a crime can be called not guilty if there was not enough information to PROVE guilt. If the accused is not proven guilty they will be found 'not guilty' in court but the accusation still might be true and the crime may have been committed.

I don't disagree that there are victims of false accusations. Many of these 'dropped cases' may have been from false allegations but it is unfair to use that as default. It is the same as when charges are dropped some feminist endorsed stats will say that these are men getting away with rape. It is an unfair judgement and clouding the issue with lies and falsities doesn't help anybody.

It hit me that we have created a society in which women expect to be treated like children, allowed to do just about whatever they please. Women have to murder someone to face real time. What's worse is, we can't do anything about it. If I would have restrained this woman, I could have been accused of assaulting her! You're absolutely right. It is completely normalized for women physically assault men and it's pretty disheartening.

OP I totally see where you are coming from but I have a different view on the topic. I grew up fairly neutral on the topic growing up.

It has encouraged and empowered women to truly seek and take responsibility in their own happiness and to rely on themselves. Before this women were treated much like children.

The only "evidence" that the video has was the (biased) male creator of the video said he felt empowered by showing his dominance. However, they did make a good reference to a study that somewhat relates to the issue. The study about men feeling more empowered and confident when they take up space is fairly accurate. Taking up space is a dominant, confident, and yes, oppressive body language. When a man just wakes up and jumps on the bus, sleeping or staring into his phone and has his legs in hi…

The same applies with the belief that, in regards to sex, women are acted upon by men. This just frames women as infants incapable of making mature choices.

Even under coercion, as a legal caregiver she has SOME expectation to protect the children. If the situation was reversed and the female was the abuser in the relationship I would expect the same for the man to try and protect the children from abuse. I understand she needs to worry about her personal safety but parents are legally expected to protect their children. Fear may be the deterrent that kept her from protecting the children but that would be up to the courts to decide.

You can't tell a woman what to do with her body. Period. It is very wrong to force a woman to carry a child to term if she does not want to. A men should only have 50/50 rights to the child once it is born, not before (and only if he chooses).

Maybe we shouldn't abolish all traditional gender roles. Maybe most women do not want to have physically demanding jobs. Maybe some women prefer to be stay at home moms or work part time.

The argument against this is that it will deter reporting sexual assault. A person might not want to report the incident if they have to file a police report and the statement be critically analyzed and picked apart. You can say this is because they don't want to be caught lying or whatever else but what it comes down to is not every victim of sexual violence wants to report it to police, unfortunately.

Oh man, after following a chain of links through this article I finally found an article explaining why I'm "privileged". Its that I have an advantage over other non-white non-males but rather they could have a disadvantage. An example they used was “If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven’t been singled out because of my race.” Okay thats true. Black people are especially discriminated by cops, I cant speak much about the IRS. But why is it that …

If you want to know true womens issues then talk to a sensible feminist. The MRAs here just ignore that whole side of it. In my opinion the biggest issue women face is pure traditionalism. This is not a gendered issue but it is one that is commonly brought up as discrimination. Women are pressured by traditionalist people to play their gender role: have kids, work part time to take after kids, do the cooking and cleaning, to allow the man to be head of the household. Many women reject this. Men …

It isn't a law, yet, except for policy at colleges.

Think your best bet is to not mention the size of those involved at all, just the severity of the actions. Your friend strikes him first and causes the other man's lip to split open. The man strikes back with a punch to the stomach that causes your friend to collapse and the man runs away. This way it isn't the fight card we are looking at but the destruction caused by the strike.

The mens right movement. is widely considered a "me too" reaction to feminism. There is so much narrative that women are oppressed and men are suppressors that the idea of a MRM is offensive.

Yes. Psychological effects will vary from person to person whether they are male or female. It would be unjust to discriminate against an entire gender because typically they have different psychological effects.

A small percentage of registered sex offenders are women, and Biegel said only three percent of those commit a second offense within seven years of being sentenced. “Her lighter sentence is not to say there is disparity between men and women,” Biegel said. “But that statistic means that she is not likely to re-offend.” So what they made an exception for her because statistically women do not recommit. So whatever she did doesn't matter because she probably wont do it again. Justice served.

Wow fantastic. Another US national study that says men cannot be raped.

Hey OP if you can find some credible rates could you post them? I'd like to see them compared to men's rates. If rape is about control more than sexual desire (which many agree it is) then we should see more comparable rates between the rates in mens and womens prisons. If rape is a construct of male sexuality then we should see overwhelmingly higher rates in male prisons. Think it's a fair control test?

"We talked about being victim-centred, or student-centred, and that's very important," Richard Florizone said. "What that means is whatever reaction we take today in response to this is that it really takes the interest of those students affected — the women students affected — to understand how they’ve been impacted and to understand the best route forward to meet their needs." Punishments set out in university policies around such issues could result in student expulsion, he said.

Yes I agree. If you are someone who thinks only men have problems and women do not have any problems then you are either ignorant or a MRA extremist. Howevere, OP, the big issue is many of the problems that men have are enforced by the feminist movement. Any attempt to address men's issues publically is actively opposed by feminists.

"Women outnumber men obtaining master's degrees by more than 30 percent." That actually makes sense to me. For field like engineering it is quite rare that someone will continue education past bachelor degree to a master degree. This is the opposite for fields like education and social sciences where's its almost expected to continue to a masters degree. The former being a male-dominated field and the latter being female dominated (at my school at least).

It makes perfect sense to a feminist who believes that women have true issues and men do not.

Well by definition it is more sexist if it is against women. I shit you not.

This is all about marketing to the group of people who generally stay away from this. If I even mention "code" to my girlfriend she falls asleep instantly. Its really not something you should be offended from. Google is a software company that like every other STEM company is under scrutiny for not being "diverse" enough. This is a long term investment to make the software industry more diverse.

It is improper to take one person and portray their characteristics over a group of people. That's just stereotyping.

Well burden of proof is on the prosecution isn't it? If she was in fact raped I hope she finds the evidence she needs. If not I hope this will end the whole situation, but I know better.

"Hey guys! Lets all chill in this room in the dark on broken glass and wait for an innocent unsuspecting girl to come in and then we will gang rape her! It will be awesome!" Bunch of fucked up kids if this turns out to be true, that's all I have to say.

You need to address it but do not make a big deal about it. Set up a meeting with a boss or someone who's job it is to listen. Explain to them how you are feeling in the environment but do not get hostile or offensive about what you are feeling. You need to be professional about this, if you are not things can go very very bad. If you handle it professionally and then feel like your job is threatened then you will have a legal case. They cant fire you for being in an uncomfortable work environme…

I have an unfair prejudice against kids named "DJ". Is that a bad thing?

I know how you feel. I am cut and I don't feel like I have been wronged by my parents in any way. That being said MGM is a bizarre ritual that is perpetuated by tradition. For the same reason it was banned for females it should be banned for males.

“Some people regard rape as so heinous an offense that they would not even regard innocence as a defense.”

●Ezra Klein evinced satisfaction that possibly innocent young men will be expelled for rapes they didn't commit: "Critics worry that colleges will fill with cases in which campus boards convict young men (and, occasionally, young women) of sexual assault for genuinely ambiguous situations. Sadly, that’s necessary for the law’s success. It’s those cases — particularly the ones that feel genuinely unclear and maybe even unfair, the ones that become lore in frats and cautionary tales that fathers e…

Just face it, women are more equal than men.

Yeah I choose #2 and #11 which are essentially the same thing. Demand of basic rights = entitlement and arrogance of rapists.

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