What would we as men want to see changed at a legislative level?

Bodily autonomy - circumcision is illegal until the age of 18, when a man can choose for himself.
Paternal rights 1 - it is illegal to use a man’s sperm without his explicit written consent.
Paternal rights 2 - a man is not responsible for a child that he did not consent to.
Paternal rights 3 - women cannot claim child support from men and boys they raped
Paternal rights 4 - 50:50 shared custody is the default that can be amended according to the couple’s agreement.
Paternal rights 5 - Equality of parental financial responsibility - a separate fund is set up for the children’s expenses that both parents pay into.
Assumption of innocence - a man is assumed innocent until proven guilty (weird how we have this but it isn’t practised)
Campus rape accusations to be tried using strict legal burdens of proof (currently, the standard is “believe her”)
False accusers are rigorously prosecuted
Educational rights 1 - boys have a curriculum designed for boys
Educational rights 2 - boys can choose to have male teachers
Educational rights 3 - boys have equal funding to girls, for sex-exclusionary programs
Educational rights 4 - University places 50:50 between men/women
Employment rights - men cannot be fired for allegations alone. Some evidentiary standard is needed.
Employment rights 2 - dangerous workplaces get funding allocated to reduce death count (which is vastly male)
Employment rights 3 - Eliminate pro-female hiring bias currently in place across all sectors, but particularly the 2:1 hiring bias in STEM fields.
Employment rights 4 - pro-female gender wage gap in recently employed University graduates to be eliminated (women earn 20% more)
Health rights 1 - men to be allowed to get free breast cancer checks (currently they are banned from free checks, and although it is a rare phenomena, the infrastructure is in place, widespread, and free for women)
Health rights 2 - medical funding to be spent in order of prevalence and mortality rates (currently 4x the amount of funding goes to women’s cancer that is non-life threatening, when compared to men’s cancer which is life threatening)
Domestic Violence 1 - equal funding for men’s crisis shelters
Domestic Violence 2 - immunity from protests while these shelters are being established
Domestic Violence 3 - research showing non-gendered outcomes to be published, instead of being suppressed
Domestic Violence 4 - female perpetrators to be treated as equally as male perpetrators
Criminal outcomes 1 - men to get same sentencing as women, for the same crime (currently women get leniency in: arrest, arraignment, charging, bail, community sentences, criminal sentences, and jail time)
Criminal outcomes 2 - no jail time for non-payment of child support. The vast majority of jailed “deadbeat dads” are actually good men who just couldn’t pay the crippling amounts forced upon them. This clogs up jails, removes good dads from their children, and removes tax payers from the economy. There is no upside to jailing non-payers.

Not making boys pay child support when he turns 18 to the woman convicted of raping him would be a start.

Increase emphasis on men's health to narrow the large and growing life expectancy gap between men and women (men are dying on average about 6 years earlier than women, and are overrepresented in the most dangerous and stressful professions).
Either eliminate the Selective Service registration requirement or expand it to both genders, which would reduce the likelihood of any draft except for a true national emergency.
Support Roe vs Wade for both women and men. Allow men to avoid forced parental responsibilities for 18-21 years when unwanted pregnancies happen (something women can do with abortion or adoption).
Reduce discrimination in our legal system/criminal justice system, as men are far more likely to be falsely accused and arrested/sentenced harshly for the same crime and are subjected to much greater discrimination in family court/divorce court.
Reduce anti-male discrimination in our educational system. Teachers grade boys more harshly than girls, and there are a lot more female-only scholarships and other educational programs.

Equal rights amendment which would outlaw sex based discrimination including all the laws that discriminate against men.

Some specific laws:

End AA for women

End women owned business advantages.

Reverse all the educational biases against boys adopted under WEEA.

Get rid of VAWA, treat domestic violence in a gender neutral fashion.

Either get rid of women specific government departments such as the office of women’s health or create an equal men’s office that receives the same financial support.

Stop having colleges adjudicate sexual assault claims internally under Title IX. Treat alleged college crimes just as any other crime.

Require insurance premiums be gender equal. Currently it’s okay to charge men higher auto insurance premiums but illegal to equally charge women higher health insurance premiums.

All states adopt equal parenting laws such as presumption of equal joint custody.

Selective service registration: preferably have no registration and rely on volunteers but any selective service laws we have should be changed to be gender equal.

Note non of the above give men any advantage or even special protection, but are simply getting rid of existing discriminatory legislation. Isn’t it sad that simply wanting to be treated equally under the law is even an issue?

Regarding men drifting right. I used to consider myself a centrist. My ideals were very similar to most moderates I knew whether they were moderate liberal or moderate conservative. What’s changed is most of the moderate liberals have shifted far left becoming progressive liberals and have changed from opposing discrimination to promoting it. My ideals haven’t changed so, leaving me more right in comparison.

Nationwide, mandatory DNA testing.

Glittering_Smile_560 · 2024-11-08T22:34:51+00:00

Also I think in regards to Depp v herd it should be illegal for Any court case to not allow evidence through this would include but not limited to She has a history of lying She is also an abuser She would harm herself to create bruses One of the things that pisses me off the most is the courts always block evidence from the male Also want to add a public false accusations registry so men can stay away from those women

Grand-Juggernaut6937 · 2024-11-08T23:06:34+00:00

We need anonymous grading & school admissions. Women are given a massive advantage in both because officials can recognize their names as feminine.

If DEI is only about hiring and admitting the most qualified women, then not having their name displayed shouldn’t effect them at all. In fact it should help them ensure that people aren’t discriminating against them.

If you’re a feminist and you don’t support anonymity in these fields, you’re a supremisist

Glittering_Smile_560 · 2024-11-08T22:26:05+00:00

Not American but I think drug testing should be mandatory in all rape cases that are called within an hour of the offence this would allow the police to test if the man has had his drink spiked by someone so he would sleep with someone he normally wouldn't. also if a man states he's been set up by a 3rd party that person should be required by law to do a psychological evaluation and lie detector

krackedy · 2024-11-08T21:23:27+00:00

There isn't much I care about thst is specific to men, other than banning cosmetic infant circumcision.

I just want a politician who cares about the working class but doesn't care about identity politics. Not sure they exist anymore though.

WeEatBabies · 2024-11-09T01:23:40+00:00

Replace the Duluth Model with a gender neutral approach!

We want the financial abortion.

Gender neutral r4pe laws.

Equal parental leave from work for newborns.

Make the draft equal, or even better : get rid of it!

Pass the equals rights amendment!

Affirmative action women into the top 20 most dangerous jobs!

Gender and color blind sentencing!

Top_Row_5116 · 2024-11-08T23:11:13+00:00

We really need to organize something. Feminism is heard a lot around the world. And I feel this is partly the case is because people actually go out and hold rallies and movements on it. I wish that there were things like this for men's rights.

Embarrassed-Tune9038 · 2024-11-08T23:11:25+00:00

Zero Discrimination on the basis of Gender for admissions to college, scholarships and college rules, Title IX must apply to men.

Efficient_Aspect_638 · 2024-11-08T23:17:50+00:00

My biggest fear as a man is getting accused of rape so for the men that get accused and found not guilty the woman should get the years he would of got. No parole.

DivertismentChannel · 2024-11-09T09:07:51+00:00

That false accusations will be punished as the crime they blamed the other person for, so women here for instance don’t have it easy after getting caught or discouraging them from doing it. Then making drafting optional for men, since we are already having the gender in decline and the last thing we need is sending half of a country’s population to war by force. And lastly, heavily punish journalists and companies that are misandrists or favor women victims to make a point and leaving male ones in the shadow

Ossagion · 2024-11-08T22:14:01+00:00

My #1 issue is that I think DEI needs to go away. The world would be a better place if SJWs were purged from HR departments.

reverbiscrap · 2024-11-09T07:08:15+00:00

Glad you asked, OP. I have here an entire policy agenda, complete with stats, multiple studies and empirical evidence to support the policies spoken of, from family court reform to comprehensive reproductive health legislation for women and men, to education reform.

Upholding human rights that do not have gendered elements in legislation and which are gender non-discriminating.
