    Cosmopolitan article raising awareness on F on M DV.

    Article Link This popped up in the MRA sphere with (shocked and almost unbelieving) support from fellow MRAs. Cosmopolitan, the same magazine which I've seen criticized regularly on MRA sites, has published this article raising awareness of the symmetry of domestic abuse. The article hasn't...

    What, if any, consequences should there be for a false allegation?

    Just interested in some opinions. Consider the allegation has sufficient evidence such that there is no reasonable doubt that it is not invalid. What should the consequences be? I've heard several answers, such as: - Same consequence as defamation of character - Same time in prison if the...

    Selective Service - discriminatory against males

    In the context of the mass NSA spying, things like this are even more frightening.

    Selective Service - discriminatory against males

    Selective service is a common issue, I'm glad you brought it up OP. There seems to be a generally trend of increasing pressure and awareness of the imbalance here. The calls generally come down to 'Either require woman to sign up as well, or get rid of it all together!'. I'm not a fan at all of...

    "Partiarchy" Malarkey?

    I think this leads on to the ultimate key point which should connect both feminists and MRA. BOTH genders suffer from gender roles, crazy law proposals and protests against their voice. You cannot have equality of all if you just focus on one gender. Likewise, women's problems would not be...

    "Partiarchy" Malarkey?

    The patriarch does not exist as a wide-spread phenomenon any more. If you take the actual sociological definition of a patriarchy, then we clearly do not live in one. However, feminist theory treats the patriarchy slightly different, they see it as a social construct which entails female...

    False Rape Allegations

    And I accept that. I accept that rape in general is far worse than an allegation. All I am saying is that SOMETIMES false rape allegations doesn't turn out to be just be a 'bad time', but it can ruin a mans life, and that man might even die because of it. You don't seem to be able to accept this...

    False Rape Allegations

    Nope. Can you point to where you think I said that?

    False Rape Allegations

    Exactly. I am just saying that: In SOME situations, a false rape allegation can be as damaging than rape (people die...). And if you take death out of it, then in SOME situations, false allegations can be as damaging as SOME rape situations. To deny this is to deny reality. You can talk about...

    False Rape Allegations

    Barely addresses the point. Whether it by gossip or violence or drugs or coercion, a life ruined is a life ruined. Congratulations that your male friend has the strength to overcome his gossip. Sadly there are men out there, some I know personally who are not that strong. I'm sure the majority...

    False Rape Allegations

    I agree with that account of rape being frankly awful... The only consequences which could surpass (on the other side) that is when men are murdered because of a false allegation. Of course, women are murdered during/after rape as well. As we all know, it isn't a score-board. I would agree with...

    Child Support Liability

    If I recall, involuntary orgasms during rape are a real thing for both sexes. In fact I think I remember a news story where this happened and he had to then pay child support for his rapist's baby, if I come across it again I shall link you to it.

    Domestic Violence Against Men

    Okay two things, one on topic and one off-topic. On-topic: Abso-bloody-lutely. The girls I've seen who could kick the daylights out of me and I'm 6'4''. I reckon if you took a world average men would come out as better 'fighters' simply because of the biologically advantage in strength and...

    False Rape Allegations

    Absolutely it would prevent consequences. I've had a friend who was accused of rape, and as a result was scared to go out of his flat, since everyone knew his name and face from the media. He became depressed and a shell of who he was. And his name and face comes up if you google his name, not...

    Domestic Violence Against Men

    Ah Rakhel, beating me to the next topic I was going to write up ^.^ Good job. :hearts: Like male rape, male DV is often met with the same disbelief - how could the strong male be beaten by the smaller and weak female? It makes sense that it is extremely under-reported. It also doesn't help how...

    Male Rape

    This is the second thread I'm writing for the Men's Issues DIR here (yeah, writing, not copying and pasting, silly staff :beach:!) and it deals with Male rape. This is second in a series I am making for this DIR of the core issues men face. The current other one is False Rape Allegations. How...

    False Rape Allegations

    Which was why I used the conservative estimate of approx 10%. And was I used the reputable meta analysis instead of individual studies.

    False Rape Allegations

    I promise you this was the first time I wrote this out. I actually intend to continue to expand and update the OP as I personally explore and neaten up my views. Many of my links to the news stories were gathered from COTWA since it is an excellent resource for information like this. Once...

    George Zimmerman Verdict: NOT GUILTY

    This. I personally think what happened would have been an instant murder charge if there really was security footage of that incident - however there was insufficient evidence and he was found not guilty, rightfully so. This is how our justice system works and it is mostly effective, sure...

    False Rape Allegations

    My understanding personally, and that in the Cambridge Law Journal recognizes that a non-conviction due to withdrawal or lack of evidence does not equal a false allegation (willfully lying). I think its obvious that if we could magically know what happened in every case, that out of the number...
