If anyone deserves discrimimation against them, it's men. And I say this as a male.
Because women never abuse men. Ever. Women never rape. Women never murder.
It is physically impossible for a woman to rape a man. Mainly because men are always up for sex.

But do men laugh about it? I mean, when you hear about a guy getting abused by his wife it's usually taken as a joke. If a man abuses his wife it's generally seen as a very serious and disgusting event.
I think this is the right one, I'm not sure as I couldn't watch it because my internet was acting slow.
If you were to reverse the situation so that it was the man cutting off the genitalia of his wife over divorce there wouldn't be any levity in the reaction to it, and if there was the perpatrator would be seen as a sick feth.
It would be interesting to discover what percentage of domestic violence incidents involve both partners being violent, particularly those stats linked to alcohol abuse. The trouble is that it's difficult to quantify what percentage of males suffer domestic abuse, especially given the ridicule and stigma society attaches to a man who is beaten by his partner.
Abuse isn't necessarily violence. Usually it's more psychological or emotional abuse then it is a straight up beating when it's female to male, and yes it's probably the most under-reported crime in the western world, on both sides actually but to a more severe degree to males. As Manly Men Who Do Manly Things(tm) we're all supposed to be tough, stoic, etc and a frail female could never possibly do damage to the chunk of chiseled granite that is Man. So if something terrible's happening... well there's no support group, no shelter, just ridicule. So it doesn't get reported and it never "happens"
I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long
One thing I will say is that those women mocking men who had their genitals cut off are pretty fething horrible, but right on this thread we have someone disparaging the intelligence of women. It cuts both ways and the jokes and so on are different, but I think it's a bit blinkered to look at that in isolation and see it as a war on men when there are many inappropriate jokes about women out there.

And if he's not interested just don't have a hard on.
Actually, it is entirely possible to be raped as a male. If you are drunk and are taken home by some dirty individual who gives you a gift that keeps on giving, etc. Or, if you are married, and are too drunk to realize that someone other than your drinking buddies are taking you home, thereby you have just adultered against your spouse (some people don't have a problem, but still).
I know that, at least when I left for the Army, the State of Oregon's law regarding rape did in fact make it so that a man could not be raped, but it's still out there, just doesn't look the same. And I know many people on here who would say, I got drunk and got shagged? SCORE!!!

I've never bought into the whole victimisation thing, since outside of the media flying rodent gak-insane feminism doesn't really exist.
Stop trolling now, please, for the good of us all. I don't feel victimized either, but there is no evidence to suggest that men are more intelligent than women/vice versa. In fact, I am VASTLY outnumbered in my AP classes by females, like, 10 to 1.

Or if the parents are fighting for sole custody, then the one who can best care for the children should get them.
But that is how it works. Where possible, courts are to give 50/50 custody. Where that isn't possible and someone has to be the primary, then what matters is who provides a more stable environment for the kids.
The primary reason that the mother is most often the primary carer for kids is because that's what the parents agree to without involving the courts.

No, both lives are worth the same. The issue is that in each case the overwhelming majority of attackers are men.
Ignoring that to try and contort some kind of belief that men are victims is crazy pants.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
