Man pays into a daycare funding pool every year, is denied its use when he finally needs it because he's a man (x-post from /r/AmITheAsshole)

He should be doubling down and making them refund all the men or revoke the women only rule, as that is DISCRIMINATION. Threaten to take them to court. I believe that something like this may impact their federal funding.

A lot of entitled women there, no surprise for that sub lol

As I understand it, if you were a woman in a relationship you would also be denied? The issue seems to be more that a single father (of modest means) would not qualify. Not too many of them, for better or for worse, but still...

It’s sad how many people see him as the asshole in this thread. How dare he want equality.

It’s early so before the day is through I’m sure the red “asshole” label will be applied

I don’t even see why they have the single restriction tbh. OP says the fee is $31/year, and that there’s about 19,000 students attending. That’s like $589k a year, and I guarantee they aren’t using all of it.

Forced donation into a service for others is neither appropriate or lawful, particularly if it is sexist.

You are not the asshole here, it's the elitist feminist academics who believe everyone else owns them a life.

YTA for assuming community contributions are only valuable when it also benefits you personally which is not the point at all.

That is EXACTLY the point of community contribution. For example, if you live in a country with socialized medicine/social security, everyone gives a percentage of their earnings to it, so that people who normally couldn't afford medical expenses, could. However the rich also benefit it from it : if they get sick or injured or anything, they wont have to pay extra from what they already contributed. A regular Joe will end up contributing way more than he needs for himself throughout his life, but he won't get told "No, social security is only for the ones who can't afford it."

It's not fucking charity.

I wonder how many of you only read the title, and maybe the OP...

mensmod · 2019-09-20T12:57:58+00:00

Your title does not match the events of the situation as described by another person involved. The OP clearly deleted their post when they were called out on editorializing the events.

I have removed your post similarly.
