World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Patriarchy hurts everyone.
Dunno where you live but the usa is a matriachy.
How do you figure?
The laws all benefit women, support systems benefit women. Women have more rights than men.
Men don't have bodily autonomy in any state
So if men have bodily autonomy explain the draft. You know the thing every male has to sign up for at 18 in the United states ?
That is before ww get into paternity rights
They also loose autonomy as soon as a child is involved.
Had sex woth a girl and threw the condom in the trash. She fishes it out and uses it to impregnant herself. Too bad you owe child support for 18 years
Woman rapes you and she gets pregnant... to bad you owe child support. We're you a minor... lol don't matter your a man and have to pay child support.
Oh you were a trusting husband and now are being divorced. Guess what the child was never yours and you can't ever see them again... oh and you still pay child support !
You and your wife froze your sperm and her eggs. Got divorced? Too bad she is allowed to use your speem and you are on the hook for child support!
Can't afford the child support ? To bad off to jail . you sill man.
Let's not even get I to infant male genital mutilation.
If you loose the right over your body then you loose bodily autonomy. If you have to pay a fixed amount of money by law for another person then you no linger have a choice of what you can so with your own body because you have to keep making those payments

If, under the same circumstances, the child support payment is overdue for longer than 2 years, or the amount exceeds $10,000, the violation is a criminal felony, and convicted offenders face fines and up to 2 years in prison (See 18 U.S.C.§ 228(a)(3)).
Lastly, this statute prohibits individuals obligated to pay child support from crossing state lines or fleeing the country with the intent to avoid paying child support that has either been past due for more than 1 year or exceeds $5,000. (See 18 U.S.C. § 228(a)(2)). Any individual convicted of this crime may face up to 2 years in prison.
So yea you can be locked up for not paying child support even if the child isn't yours
You would think but men actually don't matter to usa's society.
Women have so many options pre/during/post pregnancy to legally not have a child. Men have no options
