This upsets me. The Samaritans were a really good non-biased charity.

That's sad. I went through the training but didn't quite make the grade. The main issue is if you don't want to talk, the Samaritans really can't help. They aren't an advice line.

I don't know how you'd change that.

MRAdvice line would be nice

Sure would. What insurance implications would it create though? Is there a responsibility to the caller's?

I think that's the stance Samaritans take

I have no idea, im not American. I always thought charities and the like of advice line had some kind of waiver or something, provided they aren't giving bad advice

In talking about in the UK

Sorry, what kind of insurance do you mean?

I thought you meant that the person taking the call would have to forward mental information to health providers and insurance...

X_X

Do you mean liability insurance?

>.<;;;

Welp, I gotta go, can't wait longer for a reply rn sorry

@InsaneCaterpilla yeah liability

Sorry. Was cooking

Is that something that even needs to be worried about?

I would think so. Suits for negligence can be an issue even when utilizing more experienced individuals.

Does anyone else have personal stories of a mother poisoning the kids against a father?

Oh, I do

I had a collage tutor friend for a while who was beaten by his wife with a hoover pipe.

He was never spesific about what she said, but she turned his kids against him and made them hate him.

He was a really hard working great guy.

And when I say 'beaten' I mean 'in front of the police, who did nothing - and then asked if he wanted to press charges'.

He said no, of course. Because men do.

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/
