4	As a woman, I CANNOT believe this redditor had the audacity to basically equate “feminine” with being “kind and empathetic”. Can’t imagine what they think when they hear the word masculine. I understand why people still think these gender stereotypes, but it's a flawed logic. I am a man, I am often unfortunately described as feminine, I often bake. (I don't take offence to it) However, anything and everything I do is masculine. If a man bakes a cake for his friends, it is a kind gesture. A kind, masculine gesture. It doesn't matter if prejudice and stereotypes associate that with a 1920's housewife. He is still a man. It is still masculine. The problem with posts like OP linked is …	/r/MensRights	02/06/24 09:01 AM

Paternity tests show unexpected trend I worked for 6 years on a contract for the Child Maintenance Service in the UK doing paternity tests, as well as a myriad of other paternity testing. I can tell you for certain that when child maintenance is involved, 98-99% of the tests came back positive "He is the father". A lot of that was due diligence by CMS having a caseworker talk to the mothers figuring out who to request the test off (alleged father) and the financial incentive [for the mother] to get it right. When we did home testing…	/r/MensRights	19/10/23 11:47 PM
3	A "legal" paternity test costs twice as much as a regular, at-home paternity test. It's the same thing but somehow twice the price. I can shed some light. I worked for a forensic company for 6 years. The legal tests are done under medical supervision and require a passport photograph (at minimum) and/or ID be presented. The certification and final product are suitable for legal matters such as child maintenance, immigration, court hearings, and birth certificate changes. The at-home tests are identical in testing but don't verify identity, and sadly, can't be used for legal matters.	/r/MensRights	06/08/23 12:02 AM

2	GF wants me to me to donate sperm to her. She is freezing eggs, plans to get pregnant within 10 years. What can I say to buy time to effectively think about this without pissing her off and her leaving? What phrases? I feel like a lot of these comments are quite knee-jerk, no shit's given about you and your relationship, OP. The general idea is buried in a bad tone. You should have an honest conversation with your GF about what both of you want and why. If you're having anxieties about bringing children in to this world, discuss that with her. If you're anxious about your parental rights, discuss that with her. Maybe she's having concerns about her fertility and wants you to put in as much insurance as she i…	/r/MensRights	13/11/21 03:57 AM

16	Centuries of adultery exposed: New DNA evidence suggests that the historic rate of women committing paternity fraud is between 1 and 4%. I felt it was important to iterate men and women both have the capacity to cheat, and in hijacking your comment saying "I've only seen men cheat" (which, I have only seen).	/r/MensRights	15/11/19 11:41 AM

2	UK Politics - Knowing what your parties stand for - Does their manifesto include men's issues? I'm not trying to out a downer on the Green Party, I'm more looking for your thoughts. Is this good for equality and our government in general, or is this diversity hiring for the sake of ticking a social feminism box? Snippet from their website: Enabling diversity across politics: In a dazzlingly diverse country like ours, politicians shouldn’t all look the same. We want to break open the barriers that stop our politics from more accurately reflecting the society we live in. We will make it eas…	/r/MensRights	14/11/19 05:00 PM

2	Does it seem ironic that Labour want to increase maternity leave from 9 to 12 months whilst also fixing the gender pay gap? Edit: I am not angry! I am now informed! Old post below. I'm so angry! "Pay gap" increases, inequality increases, gendered stereotypes more prominently encouraged... But I guess if you're happy being the breadwinner in a traditional nuclear family your collective household gets 3 months less stress? Yay. :\| Could've just given men & women both 12 months, made them fill in a form to denote who's the primary carer, bish bash bosh: equality.	/r/MensRights	08/11/19 10:17 AM
47	The supreme court of Finland rules in a ground-breaking decision that heavy intoxication, even if you don't remember what happened, doesn't automatically mean that you got raped (a pretty poor Google translation; when they report it in Swedish I'll update to a better one).

1	Everything you see We can push men's rights without being incendiary, why stoop? "Women haven't done anything to further the success of humankind"-esque comments aren't needed in my opinion. I'd love it if men got praised for the great things we do! I just worry this sub can forget why we're here and it can devolve into women bashing, and that gives us a bad reputation. But hey ho, that's my feeling, and I'm happy to learn and take criticism.	/r/MensRights	09/09/19 03:59 PM

53	Refreshing honesty as women openly admit they would not help a man in medical distress- woule be outrage if men said this about women. Wait... Wasn't there a study posted on Reddit recently that basically said: "Men won't help women because they're scared of sexual assault charges" men are statistically more likely to receive aid? I'll find the link if I can!	/r/MensRights	02/06/19 01:58 PM
5	Alabama bill would criminalize false rape accusations This was my initial thought, honestly. I was hoping to read a clear cut: 'If they are proven not guilty, does the evidence show a false accusation? If so, a case should be raised to punish the false claim.' It reads like: 'Not guilty, she pays his legal fees' And that doesn't seem right.	/r/MensRights	09/05/19 12:25 PM

1	Now singles can have surrogate babies: Two-parent rule is axed in overhaul of law. In future any single person will be able to apply for a Parental Order and so become the parent of a surrogate child. https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubPDFs/single_parent.pdf "Nationally, approximately one-quarter of children and youth, or about 22 million, are growing up in single-parent households. In 2011, nearly one-third of adoptions from foster care were completed by unmarried people. This included adoptions by 1,400 single men and more than 13,000 single women.
