I thought domestic violence laws meant that charges had to be pressed regardless of the victims wishes
This was the UK, so I don't know. Police sometimes don't know the specifics of laws, or forget, but even more often they try to get men to drop charges in order to not have to arest a woman.
(Based on statistics and the stories told by people across reddit)
It's probably true that they try to get men to drop charges in general, they apparently even take a minors word on whether or not to press charges
I did not know that. They shouldn't
It should be automatic for anyone under sixteen or so
I agree

All this talk about toxic masculinity from women yet I haven't seen a single feminist complain against these types of women. This attitude that a guy can rape and abuse women if he's attractive always comes from women. Why is that and why does no feminist seem willing to address this toxic behavior? - https://redd.it/ajqsmm
Oh, my, here's definitely the best take on the Gillette commercial I've seen: https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/ajp5ff/why_are_so_many_people_bothered_by_the_gillete_ad/
That article really takes on everything that is pernicious in the commercial. That said,I think MAH's article focuses better on specifically why there is *so much* backlash to this in particular: https://menarehuman.com/the-worst-a-man-can-get/

Btw, that survey is ending. The author of the survey has said: "In the interest of full disclosure, I want to give a heads up about when data collection will end. The OP was posted to the subreddit at approximately 7:30 PM EST, Tuesday, January 22. As of 7:30 PM this evening (1/25), the response rate has slowed substantially. Therefore, I intend to close the survey tomorrow evening at 7:30 PM EST (date: 1/26)." https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/aito5l/18_recruiting_members_of_the_mens_rights/

/u/BlueOrange22 posted a new link in /r/MensRights Homeless man sentenced to 6 years for trying to buy toothpaste with counterfeit $20. Would the privileged class of society be treated that way? - https://redd.it/ajumpl
I saw that.. it does seem ridiculous, at the same time though, he has priors which seem to include creating counterfeit notes
That's fair - but six years for it?
At least he's not homeless anymore /s
How do we tap into the pro-choice movement to support male financial abortion?
Women can use birth control, abortion, safe surrender, or any number of things if they do not want to support a child. Men have zero options.
Reliable male birth control in pill form will be a step in the right direction honestly
Remove the likelihood of accidental children and people will hopefully be more willing to examine the other issues
As it is a woman can lie about being on birth control and entrap a man, remove that power from them though, and who knows what happens
I've seen plenty of pro-choice feminist types say that consent to sex is consent to a child and everything that goes with it for men, not seeing the disconnect with that logic and women's rights. I doubt aiming the convo at those debating such issues is the way to go, rather at the general populace would be better
That's interesting that pro-choice feminists would use that argument
It applies to them as well, consent to sex is consent to the possibility of a child so why would they be pro-choice?
I don't know, I think hijacking "My body my choice" seems worthwhile
Being enslaved for 18 years is definitely violation of bodily sanctity
"My wallet my choice" is definitely a line I've seen used and it always gets people up in a hissyfit
Are people organizing protests about these issues at all? What is the plan to get the laws changed?
Education is the most important thing right now, we have to get people on our side before anything is going to change
How is that being accomplished
Ironically, things like the Gillette ad are making a lot of men and some women more sympathetic to our causes
Turns out telling half the population they're terrible people doesn't really sit well
It's funny, my facebook was filled with one woman repeatedly posting about how offended and thin skinned men were... LMFAO
The problem is that a lot of people still think men's issues are nonexistant or overexaggerated... So making more people aware of them is still the main thing to do
I told her, "You're more obsessed with this ad than any man I've seen."
She got triggered
InsaneCaterpilla is right, the main thing right now is to inform people of the issues and that they are *actually* issues, it's difficult though
You have to be prepared to lose friends and family over not just sitting down and shutting up
