MRAdvice line would be nice

2019-01-24 17:52:51 UTC  

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

2019-01-24 17:53:40 UTC  

I think that's the stance Samaritans take

2019-01-24 17:54:01 UTC  

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

2019-01-24 17:54:39 UTC  

In talking about in the UK

2019-01-24 17:54:59 UTC  

Sorry, what kind of insurance do you mean?

2019-01-24 17:57:27 UTC  

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

2019-01-24 17:57:31 UTC  

X_X

2019-01-24 17:57:44 UTC  

Do you mean liability insurance?

2019-01-24 17:58:09 UTC  

>.<;;;

2019-01-24 18:01:57 UTC  

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

2019-01-24 18:49:01 UTC  

@InsaneCaterpilla yeah liability

2019-01-24 18:49:19 UTC  

Sorry. Was cooking

2019-01-24 18:50:48 UTC  

Is that something that even needs to be worried about?

2019-01-24 18:52:13 UTC  

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

2019-01-25 06:50:19 UTC  

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

2019-01-25 09:13:14 UTC  

Oh, I do

2019-01-25 09:13:53 UTC  

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

2019-01-25 09:14:15 UTC  

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

2019-01-25 09:14:25 UTC  

He was a really hard working great guy.

2019-01-25 09:14:58 UTC  

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

2019-01-25 09:15:07 UTC  

He said no, of course. Because men do.

2019-01-25 09:20:06 UTC  

I thought domestic violence laws meant that charges had to be pressed regardless of the victims wishes

2019-01-25 09:29:24 UTC  

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.

2019-01-25 09:44:40 UTC  

(Based on statistics and the stories told by people across reddit)

2019-01-25 09:50:48 UTC  

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

2019-01-25 09:51:39 UTC  

I did not know that. They shouldn't

2019-01-25 09:51:55 UTC  

It should be automatic for anyone under sixteen or so

2019-01-25 09:55:21 UTC  

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/

2019-01-26 06:14:55 UTC  

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

2019-01-26 12:11:28 UTC  

I saw that.. it does seem ridiculous, at the same time though, he has priors which seem to include creating counterfeit notes

2019-01-26 13:06:03 UTC  

That's fair - but six years for it?
