| – | Action Opportunity: End Misandry and Gender Discrimination Against Kindergarten Boys in Violation of Title IXShe's a bad teacher and poorly educated. If you want all children to play with all toys, you create 'centers' and have center time. A crayon area, a doll area, and a block area. Then you divide up the class and rotate the children through the centers giving equal time at each. That's not only equality, it is STANDARD PRACTICE. And has been for years. If her only 'creative' solution is to BAN one gender from playing with a certain toy, then she is not a qualified teacher by any standard. Edit: So… | /r/MensRights | 18/11/15 03:02 PM |
| 2 | Modern day feminism: Believing in Marriage Equality = SexismThey aren't saying supporting marriage equality makes you sexist, they are saying supporting marriage equality AND not supporting feminisim makes you a hypocrite (and a sexist one at that!) They are wrong on both accounts. And this doesn't have anything to do with this sub. | /r/MensRights | 04/07/15 04:36 PM |

If all you think I did was duplicate OPs answer with more words, you've missed the point. I'm sorry, I can't explain it any clearer. We all have limits. | /r/MensRights | 01/07/15 09:56 PM |

| 1 | It's derailing to talk about men in a conversation about menBecause the question wasn't where men are being oppressed. It was where Men belong in the movement for equality. There is a difference between those two things. Did you see in my 'answer' that I actually still touched on male circumcision? but did so in context and I made it relevant to the question asked and my answer? | /r/MensRights | 01/07/15 08:51 PM |

| 1 | It's derailing to talk about men in a conversation about menJust a note: I didn't say there was justification. I'm only pointing out the reality of the situation.

We change the minds of 1 person at a time, but OP fucked that up and instead of changing minds, they reinforced a negative view of Men and Men's rights. What OP did was derail the conversation.

Not to mention all the people already taking pictures with point and shoot cameras with a lot more zoom than I have. My camera was big and scary, just like me I guess. Had a cop approach me once (out on the street) while I was taking photos, but instead of accusing me of anything, just talked with me about my camera, what I liked about it, what type of photos I like to take.

I put it in quotes because the cops are making the decision to not file a report if they don't think it is true. Maybe they should start filing all reports on every rape reported.

I once went to my niece's soccer game at my sisters asking, to take photos of her playing. She was 7 I think. Anywho, there are parents there snapping away from the sidelines with their cameras, no big deal.

Beyond that though, and this is monday morning quarterbacking/hindsight, if someone winds up to hit my kid they'll be picking themselves up off the pavement and I'll call the cops. If a parent followed me home from an incident and became at all 'upset' I would start by locking my door and calling the cops. It is their job to deal with crazy.

They are saying either: Women don't write as well so they need special help to be published and FORCED on the public. This will not make the public buy more books from female authors.

It is derived from latin just as trans- was. Cisgender has its origin in the Latin-derived prefix cis-, meaning "on this side of", which is an antonym for the Latin-derived prefix trans-, meaning "across from" or "on the other side of". This usage can be seen in the cis–trans distinction in chemistry, the cis–trans or complementation test in genetics, in Ciscaucasia (from the Russian perspective) and in the ancient Roman term Cisalpine Gaul (i.e., "Gaul on this side of… | /r/MensRights | 20/05/15 07:43 PM |

And I agree with the judge's decision, but the more I think about it, what is the difference between being a surrogate for a specific set of 'parents to be' and just anyone? It's selling a child, a human being. Right? Does it matter who 'it' is sold to? What if the buying parents didn't want to buy the child at the end of the birth?

| 15 | Surrogate mother carried baby for wealthy gay couple then refused to hand her over because she was desperate for a child herself. A judge today branded a surrogate mother a liar and handed her baby to its gay father.It sounds less like a breach of contract and more like the mother was seen as unfit, so the child was placed in the custody of the father. 'I have little doubt that that is what (the woman) set out to do, at least in part, and it was an action which was contrary to (the girl's) best interests and emotional well-being.' [said the judge] Basically the judge said the woman was an unfit parent.

I'm not saying my parents are barbarians, but if they did something barbaric then they would be, in fact, barbarians.

You can't accept that maybe, just maybe, there is a hospital that does the procedure in a completely controlled safe environment while caring for the patient and practicing pain management.

These people have absolutely no intention of actually raping anyone. I don't believe that intention to act matters. The threat matters. The threat is a threat because it would be violent in that context. If they followed through on the rape, it would be to punish and control as steph said. It isn't an effective threat to 'lapse your self control'. Sadly, it looks like people see what I'm saying as… | /r/MensRights | 15/10/14 02:28 PM |

IF the wrongly jailed is married, then the spouse benefits from the settlement. IF they divorce after that, then they may be entitled. But if they divorce before release? No payments.

His ex-wife says she's entitled to some of it.How far should compensation go? To the person wrongfully jailed? Sure. To the spouse or children? Eh.

Then you add a female character that wasn't there before. Now the trap is set. If men like her, then it is because they see her as a sexual object and the movie makers did this to exploit women.

| 4 | New Low: Jezebel writer suggests keeping an open mind about a rape accusation is "rape apology"I think there is a decent argument for being upset with the last line in the poster 'support the boys'. That is asking for outright belief in their story. Likewise a poster that said 'support the girl' would equally be wrong. It should just be, 'reserve judgement, seek the truth, listen to both sides.' People shouldn't be asking for support, but for people to listen to the whole story. | /r/MensRights | 19/04/13 08:38 PM |

| 1 | "If you would just shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up! We should be allies! Shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up! PATRIARCHY! Shut the fuck up! So we can totally be besties, right?! Shut the fuck up!" UPatriarchy (rule by fathers) is a social system in which the male is the primary authority figure central to social organization and the central roles of political leadership, moral authority, and control of property, and where fathers hold authority over women and children. It implies the institutions of male rule and privilege, and entails female subordination. Many patriarchal societies are also patrilineal, meaning that property and title are inherited by the male lineage. The female equival… | /r/MensRights | 06/04/13 01:42 PM |

Shut the fuck up!" UThis has problems. That is the truth of it. There are perception problems. There also is a naming problem. By calling it the patriarchy men haters see it as men causing the problem. That isn't the case. Women are just as culpable for the gender problems we all face. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/13 01:27 PM |

Shut the fuck up!" UIf you can't understand your opponents arguments, you can never defeat them. The patriarchy is not some grand male plan to dominate women, it is the recognition that we(at least in america) live in a society where men are seen(rightly or wrongly) as in charge. This isn't to say everything favors men or that men are conspiring against females. It also doesn't mean that men are to blame.

We can agree on things but our focuses should be different when it comes to the order of specific agenda items. Would the elimination of the patriarchy solve men's issues? Yes.

What I was taught is that absent a no, you can keep the mood going. Today that isn't good enough, that you need verbal consent for every action. I suppose if the girl in this case was a mute, you'd need to get her to sign out the word 'yes' to your question.
