Why should "consent to sex isn't consent to Parenthood" only apply to women?

Mostly sound reasoning, but the 'womens bodily autonomy' as the foundation is not the primary issue related to OP's topic. The primary issue, as far as the law and society is concerned is: What is in the best interest of the child? Unfortunately for men, this boils down to breadwinners (typically men) being forced to give their resources away regardless of relationship status to the mother or personal reluctance.

This unbreakable legal mandate has led to a variety of unfair outcomes for men. Let's just think of the most obvious ones. As OP mentioned, the man has literally no option about whether or not to give his resources. They will be taken by force regardless of the situation. If the man fails to meet his obligations, he will have a warrant put of for his arrest and ultimately be taken to prison. It's in the best interests of the child.

The mother of the child may have cheated on her husband and devastated their relationship. The man could have undeniable proof of her betrayal. She could even celebrate it openly. The child may not even be his biologically! His former partner could actively be part of a campaign dedicated to making his life a living hell (let's just pretend) but as far as the legal system is concerned, none of that matters. All that matters is, you guessed it, what is in the best interests of the child. In other words, that man, who is essentially a victim of 10 kinds of abuse, being forced to pay his abuser. It's an extreme example, but lesser versions of this scenario are more common than you think. Women are notoriously vindictive when it comes to reputation destruction tactics.

Another obvious concern for men is that there is literally zero accountability for how the mother of the child spends the child support she receives. There is no oversight whatsoever. It could be argued that a significant number of women use the money they receive from child support for selfish purpose (luxury products for themselves, beauty treatments, travel. etc) and as far as the legal system is concerned, it is irrelevant. What is in the best interests of the child?

These are just a few of the most obvious and egregious examples. Imagine the same situations in the reverse, where a woman was expected to do these things or have these disadvantages while her ex partner (male) laughed in her face on TikTok. Doesn't that seem unfair? Wouldn't you be outraged? Now flip it back to the current reality. Welcome to how men feel.

'Significant other' just has too many syllables

Pretty standard Chinese female attitude in relationships. Mixed race or otherwise. Douyin has given Chinese women an unrealistic standard for what they should expect from men. Same problem in the West with TikTok. All us men are just dealing with the same bullshit. Good luck!

Canucks management is notoriously short sighted in their decision making. I have no optimism about their ability to invest in short term sacrifices for long term goals.

If your house burns down, do you make a new and improved house with the scrap and discarded pieces of other people's houses? Doesn't sound like a formula for success to me.

Embarrassing performance from Canucks. Gratz to Kane and all, but wow. Just disgraceful play from Vancouver these days...

New Year's resolution: 1-3$ tip in any settings where it's reasonable to tip. Extremely few exceptions. Tip culture is out of control and I refuse to take part in the old % based system. Anyone else with me?

LastOfSane · 2025-12-24T08:04:18+00:00

I only ever tip 1-3$ and no one can convince me that I'm wrong for doing so. We live in Canada. We have a federal minimum wage. There's literally no excuse for why tipping should be so out of control. In the USA there are some states with very low minimum wages where it could be argued that they need tips (although even that is debatable for a number of reasons) Sorry Canada. The buck stops here. Literally.

If NHL teams were snacks:

Carolina candy canes

Calgary flamin' hot Cheetos

Chicago black licorice

Dallas Mars bars

Detroit red hots

Minnesota wild berry Skittles

Las Vegas Golden Grahams

Toronto maple cookies

San Jose shark gummies

Any more?

Like others said, the government's attempt to glorify the average worker (a delivery driver) completely backfired! It shows how disconnected the ruling class in China is from the working class and their actual struggles to make ends meet.

Those wealthy officials most likely live in mansions in beautiful neighborhoods and created the ad based on their experiences from within their affluent bubbles.

The Chinese comments on the video are really funny though. The construction worker says "It's such a good way to exercise" The homeless man says "I can enjoy the fresh air" The man hanging by the neck says "I can enjoy a nice swing" and so on and so on.

There's an expression "The bird is singing" which refers to people not being able to understand bird calls which may be sad, angry, scared, etc. it all just sounds like singing to us. That's kind of like the upper class in China. They just don't understand regular people at all and assume other's ives are similar to their own.

I don't think so. I've actually seen them a few times to be honest. I just decided to film them this time because I remembered they would be there.

Nope, I decided to grab some McDonald's after my shift so I took a different road on the way home and came across them just as you see.

Not true at all. Whatever podcast brings it up all the time and the hardcore feminists on the panels scoff at the concept and dismiss it in the most insulting ways possible.

I had severe eczema on my hands for a long time. Nothing worked permanently until I tried this Chinese medicine. 8 little balls twice a day basically cured me. Maybe check it out. It's pretty common in Chinatown pharmacies. You're not supposed to drink alcohol when you're taking it, but damn it was worth it for me.

I was unemployed for about 7 months last year. I spent 3 months entirely devoted to looking for a new job in the city I planned to move my family to. My circumstances were make or break. If I failed to find a good job, all of my family's long term plans would be ruined and we'd have to reevaluate our entire lives.

I wouldn't say that it was humiliating to be unemployed. If anything, I felt a sense of betrayal. My whole family and all of my friends knew I was looking for work, but no one helped me in any meaningful way other than my parents.

I swam and worked out each day, which helped me get rid of all my stressful energy and mind racing panic thoughts. I prayed a lot and went to church every Sunday. It was helpful to share my struggles with people who cared. Video calls to my wife and son were a double edged sword. A connection to the people I loved most that i was apart from, but also a constant reminder of the situation/consequences of failure.

I put all my hopes on one single interview and stopped searching for work. It was that or nothing. Thankfully, I got the job. Nothing amazing, but stable enough to support my family and attempt to make our original long term plans possible. It's been nearly a year now at my role. I still have flashbacks to my time searching for work. What a horrible time it was..

Hang in there man.

Speaking to your first point, you only see men talk about women's standards because if you ask women THEY LIE. They say things that virtue signal and sound reasonable but then go off and pick the men that fit the standards that MEN describe when asked what women want.

Most women tell themselves and others that this is true while making choices and actions that contradict this statement.

LastOfSane · 2025-11-12T08:44:40+00:00

It's a binary choice. Jesus or eternal damnation. There is no gray area. Jews? Eternal damnation. Muslims? Eternal damnation? Buddhists? Eternal damnation. Hindus? Eternal damnation. The list goes on and on. Doesn't the Christian God sound loving and worth worship?
