What legal rights do women have that men do not in America?

I asked the reverse and came up with nothing. So I am asking this to see if MRA's have a valid reason for being around, unlike feminists.

    If a man accuses a woman of assault (sexual or otherwise), she's considered innocent until proven guilty, and given a fair trial, or the police simply laugh at the man, then come to the house and arrest him instead. If a woman accuses a man of assault (sexual or otherwise), that is all the proof needed to convict him, and force him to take re-education classes after a lengthy sentence.

    If a woman is accused of molesting a child, the case is either thrown out, or the court determines it wasn't her fault because someone must have driven her to it, and she pleads to a slap-on-the-wrist charge. If a man is accused of molesting a child, that is all the evidence needed to convict him- even if it's obvious it's a vengeful wife making a false charge to get revenge on him for confronting her over the affair she had.

    And GIVING A MAN CUSTODY OF HIS CHILDREN?!?! Why, he's just the sperm-donor, and clearly a latent sexual predator waiting to molest them! Even if the woman smokes meth every day and beats the kids, why the hell would we give the straight-laced husband custody?!?!

    Think I'm pulling this out of my rear? Read the Violence Against Women Act, authored by vice-president Joe "d*ckhead" Biden. Even though the constitution is supposed to guarantee equal protection, VAWA gives priority to women, and disincentivizes courts acting on female-on-male violence. They don't get funding for that. Ever heard of battered men's shelters? Me either.

    Oh, and another thing. Men have no right to murder their wives as women do. Mary Winkler shot her sleeping husband in the back with a shotgun. Guess how many days she got in prison? 67. She's free now. Of course, she MUST have been driven to it, right?

    Face it, America (including intelligent reasonable women) is tired of the "more equal" attitude of hyper-feminism. Their husbands, brothers and sons are treated by the courts as second-class citizens, and we're not buying the cries of "oppression" anymore. So, unless you just stepped out of a time machine and you're a little confused, seriously, shut the hell up. I know it comes as a shock to you, but women are equally human and equally flawed- just as capable of oppression and victimization of men. Who do you people think you're kidding anymore?

    You're right in your thinking for once. MRAs do not have a valid reason for being around, unlike feminists, who do.

  • Legally, a woman can rape a man and not be charged with rape. It will only be a sexual abuse charge or sexual misconduct. Sad but true. I have heard that even if she uses a strapon or penetrates him with any kind of device it still wont count as rape but as sexual assault.

    Women serve less time in prison for the same crimes as men, women are favored by the family court system, women can choose whether they want to be a parent after unprotected sex, women can assault men with impunity because you should "never hit a girl, no matter what", women can criminalize sex with their "feelings", women can levy a false rape charge against a man and face no criminal liability, women work less hours and demand the same wage, women seriously injure and or murder their children 86% more than men and have a whole slew of "female only mental disorders" to hide behind when they get caught.

    Some men have found that when they call the police to report an incident of domestic violence by a woman against them they are the ones who the cops actually arrest. So the presumption of innocence is denied to them.

    http://www.wisegeek.com/how-common-is-domestic-vio...

    "In many domestic violence situations, the responding police officers are often required by law to arrest at least one of the combatants. Quite often the criteria for determining who gets arrested is the presence of physical injuries. In certain cases involving domestic violence against men, the female aggressor may actually have more physical injuries than the male victim. Therefore, it is possible that a certain number of men arrested for domestic violence may have actually been the victims during the actual assault.

    Sometimes the officers will determine the incident involved mutual combat, but the male will still be removed from the home in order to restore order in the home".

    They have the right to discriminate based upon gender if they think it is to their benefit. It's called affirmative action.

    Women also have rights concerning reproduction which men do not. They can abort a pregnancy whether or not the father agrees. Men cannot force or prevent an abortion of pregnancy.

    Apparently, it's legal to kill your sleeping spouse in cold blood.

    Men do not have that same privilege.

    In the United States, rights are conferred upon the citizens by the Constitution and ONLY the Constitution. These rights are gender-free. The self-pitying whining done by the pinhead crowd when this question is asked describes social practices that have nothing to do with feminism. But hey - if indeed women have *any* legal rights that men don't have, pinheads are cordially invited to support the Equal Rights Amendment, which would do away with that.

    Look at family law. Women have more rights when it comes to children then fathers do. Really look at even conception rights and abortion rights women have all the power in those situations.
