God knows what would have happened to me if I was born today
I think it's stronger than that
But that being said I don't doubt that "progressive" parents may be too quick to jump on it
Like when you reach sexual maturity, maybe
But for Christ sakes, the kid's hormones haven't even kicked in yet
Like at least wait until 12-13
That's the point. Good or bad
And the mother plans to get him chemically castrated, he won't properly even reach sexual maturity.. and petitioned the court to have the father pay for all this much needed "therapy*"
*read: screwing your child up one session at a time
It honestly just makes me sick
Like, words can't really describe exactly how this story makes me feel
There's some basic wording you can use to write to local officials regarding this if you are in the US
@Jango Harrison Support is a great idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it because nits one of the three major things every good forum has.
@Rai Amen to that. This is her deciding to 'customise' her son. Either to hurt dad or get leverage or just because she wanted a girl and got a boy.
Truly. And the fact it's all court sanctioned and nobody that is in charge bats an eye.
Urgh. Few things in the world make me want to strangle people like a court screwing up some child's entire life. I don't rate his survival chances.

Another one for the collection.
Eye roll*
This is the problem in grouping entire demographics together in this kind of way, it can’t just let people live and let live, if your goal is the whole with no vision of the individuals, then there is something wrong, some things are just better to live and let live

I think we should all go after the BBC for this article: https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/a1f2mo/this_whole_bbc_article_is_written_as_though_men/
I don't think anyone should be able to access someone criminal history, men or women, besides police... It means that people cannot ever truly move on from bad things they have done in the past, or even have minor things held against them, including some things that may have been self defense (men are often charged if they defend themselves against women).
When someone is given a sentence and they complete that sentence they have paid their debt to society. Having something hanging over them their entire life, while also free and in society, makes it more likely they will commit more crimes. If you tell someone they are a monster, whether they actually are or not, they're more likely to act like one.
Say, does anyone remember a study where someone submitted the exact same schoolwork with different gendered names and found gender bias that way?
I think I remember that was a thing
but can't find it
Yes teaching bias. I don't have the article though.
I found a bunch of teaching bias studies (check the men-are-human channel), but that research largely points to bias against male classroom behaviors, rather than being straight up "oh, it sounds male, lets mark it down"
I suspect that most teaching bias can be explained that way
but I thought I remembered there was one study that couldn't quite be explained that way
@asparkofpyrokravte this may not be exactly what you are looking for but it's close https://www.ipp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/n14-notesIPP-december2014.pdf
Oh shit, that's a really good source
Gave you a gold star for that one. 😄
If I get 5 stars can I is have a wowwipop?
XD
Only if you finish your dinner.
