| 2 | Bernice Sandler, 'Godmother of Title IX' and champion of women's rights, is dead at 90Title IX became outdated almost as soon as it went into effect and should have been ended shortly after. Instead, it was tweaked over and over by the education department to maintain a need for Ed Dept. involvement & enforcement, and as a result, ever since it outlived its necessity, it has created little other than damage within the education system. | /r/MensRights | 10/01/19 06:56 AM |
| 11 | Apparently we made it into the list of the most toxic and whiny subredditsAt this moment I can't think of anything more toxic and whiny than dedicate time to creating and publishing a list of discussion forums for no better purpose than to complain about how toxic and whiny one thinks they are for having the audacity to discuss topics one doesn't approve, express opinions one finds objectionable, and potentially draw conclusions with which one disagrees, all outside of one's influence and control. The list-maker must be so horrified. Oh, the humanity! | /r/MensRights | 10/01/19 06:52 AM |

That said, if it's true & not a troll post, I do have some advice. In this situation, there is no better thing to tell you than the following: You cannot navigate your situation without legal counsel. Never, ever try to face any kind of criminal allegation without a lawyer or barrister or whatever legal counsel is called in the UK. Do not wait. Fi… | /r/MensRights | 10/01/19 06:39 AM |

I began engaging in what is now labeled "men's rights activism" (not to be confused with advocacy, which I was doing for years prior) when a friend faced a blatant and ridiculous false allegation that was followed up by 7 years of malicious prosecution by his ex-wife. I went to court with him, helped him document his life during the ordeal so that she couldn't catch him at a time when he couldn't prove the truth in response to one of her lies, and was there for him th… | /r/MensRights | 10/01/19 06:30 AM |

That said, I have to point out the OP's message is disingenuous. This is the classic "agree with me or nobody will like you" argument. OP has described disagreeing with the opinion he thinks is right as "refusing to acknowledge women's issues" and "siding against this woman just because she is a woman."

| 1 | Looking for citation; the primary determiant of whether a man will rape is certain forms of abuse as a child.The researcher's conclusions in this study have been highly criticized, but there is something else it did show that may be of interest to you. It found that among its all-male sample, about 95% of rape was committed by 6% of men, the majority of whose answers regarding other criminal violence demonstrated that they were criminally violent in general.

Though I don't expect police to shut down a U.S. site based simply on political viewpoints (to date it's been all the sites' own doing when censorship has occurred) there are other good reasons for that.

I've posted replies to counter your conflation of them, but my post doesn't rely on consensus for my conclusions. I believe that: That invalidates everything you say as an argument in this discussion, because in terms of what should or should not be acted upon, your personal beliefs do not matter.

| 1 | Mother arranges for daughter to be circumcised and is present for the procedure. She faces 20 years in prison. Father faces life because he has a penis.I don't think you understand what a consensus is - it doesn't mean that everyone agrees, only that most people take a well-defined moderate position. The vast majority of American doctors neither oppose the circumcision of children, nor do they want to pressure parents into it - that's why you don't hear from them. It's actually not a vast majority, just a group. There are plenty of physicians who disagree and give well-supported reasons. Further, even if there was a consensus, that does not mak… | /r/MensRights | 29/08/17 05:03 AM |

The female driver of that vehicle struck her in turn with her vehicle, stopped, reversed back, and drove backward and forward over her prone body, eventually killing her². We routinely treat female violence with leniency. She was given a one year prison sentence and ordered to resit her driving licence.

If someone is a 2 person lift, don't be the one person taking most of the load while some chick half your size pretends to take half but barely contributes.

When there are no guys around, those jobs get dumped on me because I don't bitch about having to do them - I just get them done, (or when they entail a skill I haven't learned, admit when I don't know how to do them & ask for instruction, so I don't fuck something important up.)

| 1 | Mother arranges for daughter to be circumcised and is present for the procedure. She faces 20 years in prison. Father faces life because he has a penis.Actually, no, there is not a consensus - there are some doctors who promote circumcision, and some who don't. There is no legally recognized right to bodily autonomy that is violated by circumcision. Actually, there is. That is why female circumcision is illegal over most of the world. Maybe I'm assuming some background legal knowledge that you don't have. There are a limited number of cases where contracts can be voided, but none apply here.

| 1 | Mother arranges for daughter to be circumcised and is present for the procedure. She faces 20 years in prison. Father faces life because he has a penis.Right. My whole point was that you can't create a good analogy with situations using either sexual activity, or with only two adults (and no children or other incompetent) involved. Except it is a good analogy, because the judge forced her to consent to having part of her son's penis cut off based on his own opinion of the procedure. You don't seem to get that the father wanted him cut, and that's the whole reason she was in court in the first place. That doesn't override the other parent's righ… | /r/MensRights | 02/07/17 03:18 AM |
| 1 | Mother arranges for daughter to be circumcised and is present for the procedure. She faces 20 years in prison. Father faces life because he has a penis.they'd be forced to consent to you taking their money. But not to sex. What if it was vaccination that she wanted to back out of? The result would still be a judge overriding an individual's parental autonomy for an invalid reason. Are you suggesting that the judge should allow her to break the agreement? Absolutely.

| 2 | My 2 cents on feminsimActually, no, it's not. Human nature is to start selfish, then grow up and mitigate that selfishness with rational thought. And it wouldn't be right, either, to seek advantages. Feminism kept human rights considerations from evolving equally in society. It was the confounding factor in the way legal consideration for, protection of, and obligation to human rights evolved. If you want to fight for equality, fight for equality, not feminism.

Father faces life because he has a penis.If they had a contract to have sex, do you think there would not be hell to pay if a judge tried to enforce that after the divorce? This is about consent to do a thing based on the consenting party's perception of the thing's impact on the health of the consenting party's child. If information changes that perception and the party in question is convinced the thing will be harmful instead of healthy, it is a gross miscarriage of justice to use the contract to force that consent.

| 1 | "Toxic Masculinity" is hate speech. Full stop. It pathologies maleness and attempts to link violence to men's culture. Feminists discussing "toxic masculinity" is little different than white supremacists attacking "ni**** culture" and "black violence."None of this changes what feminists are doing with the term. Talking about how it originated only shows how bad what feminists are doing with it is... they have co-opted a term used by men to describe a manner of oppression they face, and twisted it into a tool of that very type of oppression.

| 2 | BBC-featured feminist Twitter 'block bot' runs into legal troubleYour answer is a sloppy cop-out. An individual doesn't have the right to force people to be anonymous to avoid being slandered or libeled, which is what creating a blacklist online and placing people on it does.

| 1 | Australian court rules that consent for sex obtained by fraud constitutes rapeI don't know how they are elsewhere, but in the U.S. conservatives - at least religious conservatives - hold men much more accountable for their sexual behavior than they hold women. That's why U.S. conservatives decided that if a woman chooses to be a welfare-dependent single mom, the state should hold the guy she had sex with to get into that situation financially responsible. Because apparently the multitude of choices she makes between "hi there" and custody are all outweighed by the immense… | /r/MensRights | 07/02/15 01:33 PM |

Once they start picking and choosing cases based on their own personal beliefs Evidence is not a personal belief. A prosecutor is obligated to not present a case he knows to be false.

When/Where exactly does feminism diverge from what we've called "woman's rights"?Something people easily recognize about feminism in their own time, but not so much in its history: It has always been about taking a solipsistic, gynocentric approach to problems that are not unique to women, don't impact women harder or worse, and don't handicap women any more than they do men.

The state of Ohio jails men for nonpayment of child support. If they haven't jailed him, it's likely because he's working and paying something, even if it's not what the mothers want.

One person's opinion does not outweigh a study's information; if vaginal tearing happens as often with voluntary sex as it does with rape, it's not proof of rape even if a doctor finds that it's there. Maybe there's other evidence in the case. Maybe there isn't. Whether she's lying or not isn't the point here - the point is that vaginal tearing is not proof that a rape occurred, regardless of who finds it. | /r/MensRights | 03/05/14 04:47 AM |

| 6 | U of M is under federal investigation because they were slow to discipline a man accused of rape, even though he wasn't convicted or even charged.I remember reading that the girl got looked at by a doctor and they confirmed that she had the tell tale signs of a rape (e.g. vaginal tearing). http://sciencenordic.com/voluntary-sex-causes-many-vaginal-injuries-rape | /r/MensRights | 01/05/14 11:19 PM |
| 1 | CAFE adds another $1,000 to reward for arrest & convinction of Danielle D'Entremont's alleged attackerMore interesting is the fact that there's a sub dedicated to daily invading and brigading this sub, and while the admins go apeshit over any MRA participation in any part of reddit that isn't /r/mensrights, they seem to have no problem whatsoever with a sub that has no other purpose except to brigade... which pretty much demonstrates that the admins' choice to ban is based more on their own political leanings than anything else. | /r/MensRights | 01/05/14 07:48 PM |
| 3 | Never made sense to meYeah, the excuses always sound good to the ones making them until you remind them "you're making what as an excuse for cutting a child's genitals?" The stupid pro arguments all need countered... but I'm also for also pointing out how barbaric they are by reminding folks what they're trying to excuse doing. | /r/MensRights | 01/05/14 07:29 PM |
| 2 | Never made sense to meYeast infections are few and far between with women who practice good dietary habits and proper hygiene. Male fluids have zero to do with it; if A vaginal yeast infection happens when a woman or girl creates either a microbe imbalance or a PH imbalance in her vagina through her own poor practices... something a lot of women do by jamming a piece of compressed and bound absorbent material into that warm, moist environment and letting it sit there for as long as an entire night at a time during on… | /r/MensRights | 01/05/14 07:23 PM |
| 2 | Never made sense to meWhy? Because it's important to make clear the attitudes involved in the harmless cut argument. It's not a good faith argument. It's an expression of bigotry... the argument boils down to the sentiment that it should be okay to cut a boy's genitals, as long as you don't affect sexual function. Which, if you look at it for what it is, is a pretty fucking barbaric argument. Yes, it has negative effects. I don't think they're side effects; they're the effects of the procedure, since neonatal circumc… | /r/MensRights | 01/05/14 06:56 PM |
| 8 | Never made sense to meJust a quick point - let's suppose, just for the sake of argument, that genital cutting didn't interfere with sexual or any other function in either sex. Is there any doubt that the activists who oppose female genital cutting would still oppose it? There are other areas of the body that can be removed without causing any significant loss of function. For instance, cutting off earlobes at birth wouldn't cause deafness. The child wouldn't later be able to describe a memory of the experience, so it… | /r/MensRights | 01/05/14 05:14 PM |
| 1 | Tennessee passes law making it illegal for a pregnant woman to use illegal drugs during pregnancy if it harms her newborn. Salon.com proceeds to lose their shit over "criminalizing pregnancy outcomes.I've messaged the admins, but I probably won't get a response. | /r/MensRights | 01/05/14 04:22 PM |
