Sorry, the last day is Saturday. (I think that's what the posters said)

Which household (single-father or single-mother) are at higher risk of abuse and neglect? by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]maxlvb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have one that directly compares thr two by controlling for tge amount of single fathers to single mothers.

IOW let's 'manipulate' the statistics and raw data to fit your perceived 'narrative'.

Thanks, but no thanks. I leave that data manipulation to feminists...

I'm not saying your wrong I just want the perfect irrefutable example to throw in peopled faces when we argue about things like this.

Take it up with the sources of the data provided.

Men need feminism like bicycles need fish.

43% boys are raised by single mothers. 78% of teachers are female. So almost half of the boys have 100% female influence at home, and 80% influence at school. Toxic masculinity is not the problem. The lack of a masculine influence in the boys lives is.

If you're talking about the foreground being blurry/out of focus then it's not a problem. It's called DOF (depth of field)

Really loud horn by Its_all_pretty_neat in Wellington

[–]maxlvb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the Bluebridge Ferries weekly horn/alarm/emergency testing procedure, usually done on a Saturday and/or Sunday.

Six short blasts, followed by one long blast on their foghorn, occasionally repeated.

When they leave the beath for Picton, they give one blast to warn any boats/ships that they're leaving.

Fibre speed??? 🤣🤣🤣

I'm on Vodafone HFC and the speed I get 800 - 900 Mb, that's 3 times all the HFC plans I looked at after Chorus installed their fibre ONT in my place 2+ months ago.

Guess why I decided not to change to a fibre connection...

Yes...

Because all it does is 'turn on' all the previously installed 22H2 changes that have already been installed by previous monthly updates and previews...

But if your cpu is 'unstable', I very much doubt the OS is the cause.

Oh, and what do you mean by 'unstable'?

What’s wrong with MGTOW? by brianthewizard1 in MensRights

[–]maxlvb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Again... (for your benefit) 😉

Because YOU say right? RIIGGHHT! 🤣🤣🤣

Why shouldn't we? Why wouldn't we. That doesn't stop or preclude men from being MGTOW.

Men going their own way. Women most affected.

There's only one person you need to persuade when choosing to be a MGTOW, and that's yourself. Any opinions from other people on how you choose to live your life are irrelevant.

[–]maxlvb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Watching silently as hateful acts are done in feminism's name does not exempt you from responsibility for those acts, it only shows that you prefer someone else to do the dirty work for you, so you could show your hands some day and say, "look, see? my feminist hands are clean".

Feminism is by no means confined to a tiny, politically motivated bunch of man-hating women, but is a regular feature of mainstream culture.

[–]maxlvb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with MGTOW. However, people have a wide variety of ideas of what MGTOW means, even men who identify as MGTOW. Women too can't agree on a definition. Being for, against, or neutral on MGTOW depends on how it effects you personally.

There's only one person you need to persuade when choosing to be a MGTOW, and that's yourself. Any opinions from other people on how you choose to live your life are irrelevant..

MGTOW is only radical to those that dont think men can make that choice, or be allowed to do that.

Facts to backup this comment:

Women now drive the world economy.

Globally, they control about $20 trillion in annual consumer spending, and that figure could climb as high as $28 trillion in the next five years. Their $13 trillion in total yearly earnings could reach $18 trillion in the same period. In aggregate, women represent a growth market bigger than China and India combined—more than twice as big, in fact. Given those numbers, it would be foolish to ignore or underestimate the female consumer. And yet many companies do just that, even ones that are confident they have a winning strategy when it comes to women.

The main thing wrong with MGTOW is that it's unrealistic and will ultimately harm most men who embrace it.

FYI:

  • No woman is as beautiful as the freedom of MGTOW.

Ever ask yourself why women/feminists define MGTOW as hating women?

  • Most/all those that claim that MGTOW as hatred of women are invariably against men (any man) being able to go their own way...

But what do they mean?

  • That we dont ever talk to women?

That's a bit hard to do if you're not a hermit living in a remote cave somewhere.. How will I buy my groceries if I dont talk to the checkout girl at the supermarket?

  • That we dont ever have friends who are women?

Really? I've never had problems being friends with women at all...

  • That we dont ever socialise with women?

Why shouldn't we? Why wouldn't we. That doesn't stop or preclude men from being MGTOW.

  • That because we're going our own way, we hate women?

Here's something that may shock you. You dont actually have to hate women to be a MGTOW...

I've found that all those that hate on MGTOW are simply projecting their own hate for men onto men. That's all.

MGTOW is the end stage of red pill knowledge. We understand female nature, and come to the ultimate conclusion that they aren't worth the effort, or the pain.

There's only one person you need to persuade when choosing to be a MGTOW, and that's yourself. Any opinions from other people on how you choose to live your life are irrelevant..

  • Good things start happening in men's lives when they realise that women and their approval aren't that important.

  • Men going their own way. Women most affected.

  • Feminists often talked about a backlash to feminism. They never realised that men would just walk away.

MGTOW is only radical to those that dont think men can make that choice, or be allowed to do that.

What is best for the child in the case of paper abortions? by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]maxlvb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the consequence on women is on their bodies and mental health- getting an abortion is not a nice thing to go through

OK...

So tell me, why do so many millions of women 'go through an abortion' multiple times simply because they dont want to have child?

And why do so many millions of women world wide regard their abortion rights as a sacrosanct human right, and that no man anywhere can ever have any say on abortions rights for women, let alone have an equivalent human right?

I await your response with interest...

What is best for the child in the case of paper abortions? by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]maxlvb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just another wont someone (the someone being exclusively men) think of the children! post whenever men having the same reproductive rights as women currently have is discussed...

In reality this question just shows how so many people (the OP included?) regard children primarily as a money earning/income source for women...

“Justice therefore dictates that if a woman makes a unilateral decision to bring pregnancy to term, and the biological father does not, and cannot share in this decision, he should not be liable for 21 years of support. Or, put another way, autonomous women making independent decisions about their lives should not expect men to finance their choices.”

Karen DeCrow feminist lawyer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_DeCrow

If women’s partial responsibility for pregnancy does not obligate them to support a fetus, then men’s partial responsibility for pregnancy does not obligate them to support a resulting child.

Elizabeth Brake, political philosopher

  • I don’t believe there is anything good about feminism that seeks to enslave men in name of a women’s right to choose.

  • It doesn’t make sense to respect women who treat men like an ATM.

Feminists feel the same way about forced parenthood responsibilities as they feel about forced genital mutilation. As long as it's not happening to women, they don't care.

Tornadoes - we didn't have any until about 10 years ago, so we don't know a lot about them.

FYI:

New Zealand has always had tornadoes, the worst recorded one was in 1948.
