You need to be careful when looking at the statistics for false rape accusations and check for how a false rape accusation is defined. With studies that conclude very low numbers, the bar is set very high for inclusion. With other studies, the percentage of false rape allegations is higher.... sometimes much higher. Think about this. If accepting a rape allegation as false requires a full recantation and confession, then accepting a rape as having occurred should require a guilty plea and a conf…

beginning in the 90s, the social sciences, especially gender studies departments, became less about research and objective understanding and more about political indoctrination. Is this accurate? Christina Hoff Summers talks about a battle in academia between reality-based feminists and post-modern fantasists that seemed to be earlier than that. The ideologues won the battle of course. The 1990s was when intersectionality came about, but I don't think the sect was particularly rigorous before th…

I know the style of communication/manipulation. Everything related to the objective is "reframed" in way that completely leaves the beneficiary out of the equation, with selflessness and concern for others being the alleged motivator. Also look out for "anchoring". Things like consistent arm rubs or knee/shoulder grabs when you are in some kind of positive or negative emotional state. These rubs/grabs can then be used in the future to edge you towards accepting or rejecting some proposal or othe…

What she is proposing is maximizing disruption to the current routine and relationships instead of minimizing it. It's more disruptive for her, for the kids it's preserving their routine. It sounds like she's playing a game. Your friend needs to speak to a lawyer, preserve the current routine, record him being alone with the kids, record her saying he's been a great dad, and not move out because that's givi…

Thank for taking a bullet for the rest of us. I used to support the pre-infestation BBC, now I can't wait for changes to the way it's funded. I think they'll find that not very many people want to pay to have the niche views of the radicals in their little bubble rammed down their throats.

That's a really good introspective article. It's easy to see the movement as quasi-religious from the outside, but there must have been a lot of soul searching happening on the author's behalf before the article was written. It also seems as though the comments section is almost in complete agreement and there is a real sense of relief that somebody has said what everybody was thinking out loud. I really hope that there is a drive to attempt to falsify the basis of their beliefs at some point, w…

Unfortunately manipulative techniques are viewed as mainstream these days, the main difference in the cases of TRP and FDS they are used to get things specifically from relationships with the opposite sex, rather than to get something out of any new or existing relationships - business or personal. It's all direct or indirect dishonesty at the core and it's key that we remember that applying psychology (pop or otherwise), marketing and spin to personal relationships is not by any means limited t…

These situations are crazy, imagine being picked up off the street and told that if you plead guilty to some horrible crime you'd never even heard of happening you'll 'only' get 1.5 -> 3 years and forever be a sexual predator in the eyes of your community? And since when is not pleading guilty, which is what rejecting a deal essentially amounts to, worth going on 20x the sentence? That entire "take the 1.5 years or face 25 years" system is morally and logically incoherent.

I think "social violence" is almost completely ignored in this 'debate', which is often little more than regurgitation of gender studies bullet points, but also by society and the law. For example it is illegal to punch somebody in the arm, but often a matter of civil law and having deep pockets if somebody's life has been destroyed or seriously affected by social violence. There's certainly no automatic support for the victim, or indeed questioning as to whether there's a victim at all. It's cr…

All tests are not created with an equal cross-section of material. It's very easy to change average results, and this is done with IQ tests for example by giving greater or lesser weighting to different sections of the tests. That's exams, but in some countries results are based on coursework + exam results. This is dangerous since non-optimal behavior/attitude and/or focus can be conflated with ability and there are many opportunities for teachers to affect results, unconsciously or otherwise, …

The real danger of socialism is that the 'free market' economically strangles countries who go too far trying to implement it, thereby creating evidence that socialism does not work. The great famine in China is blamed on socialism, but the great famine in Ireland isn't blamed on capitalism. Yada yada.

In the UK it's not as good as that. The 'shared' leave is given entirely to the mother who can then decide to share whatever proportion she likes. There is no right to it for men who still have 2 weeks vs 1 year, so Finland seems a lot better in this regard.

Feminism is a conspiracy theory and it has to be said that it has a lot more in common with flat earthism than science. Think about the parallels... entire fields of science are thrown out and replaced with a conspiratorial worldview and their own special, unfalsifiable or simplistic branches of newscience. No amount of evidence to the contrary can apparently satisfy or sway either of them since it's all just propaganda from the CIA/NSA/Da Jooz/The Patriarchy/White Men/All Men/Women Suffering Fr…

Not overwhelmingly, not by a long shot... around 1/3 of victims of murder by IPV are men. There is an unknown number of murders of men carried out indirectly too; indirect and social violence being the weapons of choice for women after all. Around 1/5 -> 1/4 of suicides are female, yet feminists argue (on record in the UK parliament for example), that suicide should not be viewed through a gendered lens.

Yes, it's not their fault either, it's the fault of those who indoctrinate them via the school system and the media.

The feminist from the TEDx talk no longer identifies as a feminist after her experiences making her latest documentary. There are other feminists who are essentially "othered" when criticising the orthodoxy of fundamentalist feminism too. The problem with this brand, the type that emanates from Women's (aka Gender) Studies departments, is that it foundationally believes that men are the oppressor class.

That's not how "women" react, that's how entitled people react to getting a tip that's roughly the same as what a doctor in Romania earns in a day. She is also very young judging by her paying tuition (as well as being a brat) so how you generalise this to "women" is ridiculous.

In couples where one is tea total and the other likes a drink at the weekend, does rape/sexual assault occur dozens of times per year? Since there is apparently no argument in your view, one has power to send the other to prison for many years/decades (assuming equal sentencing) in such a relationship virtually on a whim. For such power to exist, drunk sex must be made illegal for both parties. We cannot have a society in which people who have been drinking can seduce people who have had a coupl…

It's really only a fringe political movement, including gender studies in that political description, that objects to the view that humans are a product of biology and environment.

Female applicants are already given priority for interviews so I think this has more to do with virtue signalling down the line to try and get more students (ie girls) enrolled. I'd expect some young men to choose alternative institutions to study at, since they should be aware that capitulation to intersectional feminism only results in further concessions. The brightest have the entire world to choose from.

Even for suicide, it is not clear cut that men are disproportionately affected. This is because as whilst men do tend to kill themselves more often than women, women consider and attempt suicide at the same rates or more frequently as men. Women just use less effective means for a variety of reasons. I'm sick of this getting rolled out every time male suicide is mentioned. Suicide is pretty straightforward - although genuine and serious attempts do sometimes fail - and women aren't stupid. Also …

Many describe the realisation that the MRM is on the money as a "red pill" moment.

The thing is that men have weaker immune systems than women and science has shown that men do get hit harder by the same infections right up to the fact that men are more likely to die from complications arising from acute respiratory diseases. So the "man flu" is real and people getting sick and sometimes dying is not something to joke about.

Exactly. We have a situation where women are less likely to proceed through every step of the process, being stopped and searched, arrested, charged, found guilty and sentenced to a custodial sentence. Even when they are sentenced to a custodial sentence after all of the other outs, men get 64% longer sentences. And even that is for the same criminal record, which as we can see is a lot easier for the male criminal to accrue than his female counterpart committing the same crimes.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? Women are forced by society and circumstance into committing crimes yet men just commit crimes. Around 50% more boys die (are killed) from neglect than girls, so the amount of non-lethal abuse and neglect that boys face must be enormous compared to girls. There also isn't a "just have a kid" safety net that young women have, where the social services red carpet is rolled out and they are taken care of.

Absolutely, it's psychological child abuse. In the book, Legalising Misandry (recommended) there are studies cited that show up to 80% of male convicted rapists have been sexually abused by at least one woman when growing up. I wonder if it would have been closer to 100% if all forms of abuse and neglect were factored in. Monsters aren't born, they are created.

You should educate yourself on the ideology behind the advert. Looking at things on a per event basis, oblivious to any wider framework, push or ideology is something animals are capable of.

Whether or not the advert intended it to be seen as playfighting being broken up or an actual fight, nobody - aside from crackheads - lets their young boys overstep the mark into viciousness without doing anything about it. Dads are like referees with boys, we know when it's going too far and intervene - but we also know when it's fun. The implication of this advert is either that play fighting is bad or that dads need to be taught to break up fights between young kids. Both completely false.

The ad shows young boys been forcibly torn apart when playing a non-girl game, that's not "hyper masculinity". You can't suppress boys like this. boys and girls/men and women are different, but the ideology behind this advert dreams otherwise.

We are a sexual species so our current state is a result of evolution.

I edited it to clarify... sexual advances/attention. Remember that sexual harassment is generally defined as "unwanted sexual attention", so it's a perception based crime where the action itself is not an issue in and of itself. At some point before a relationship occurs we usually have to acknowledge attraction. Women signal, men act - are you saying that this is not how most relationships start?

30% of relationships start at work, and don't forget that the whole sexual harassment thing is stacked against men, the actors (harassment), and not women, the signallers (not harassment). Particularly when the feminist "it's about power" lens is focussed because women go for older (slightly or not) men, often finding the aforementioned power attractive and using flirting (signalling) to get ahead. So playing this game is short-sighted. Remember... 30% of relationships started with sexual advanc…

As I say, Switzerland was the exception in that women's vote came at the time of the march of feminism, rather than the march of human/workers/soldiers' rights around the times of the world wars.

Women getting the vote in Switzerland coincided with the resurgence of feminism instead of the rise of workers rights and sympathy for the working classes. It's an exception, both with the very wide gap between the male and female vote as well as the time itself. I'm not saying there isn't influence, I'm hopefully simply pointing out some really primal urges in parents (that feminists chip away at with daughters) that we shouldn't dismiss. Look at the number of formerly feminist thinking women w…

You need to study what else was going on in society at these times to get a clear picture. Don't forget that in a lot of places, universal male and female suffrage happened at either the same time, or were very closely coupled. We have the rise of trade unions happening at the same time, the evolution of left wing/compassionate thinking and policy, greater need for infrastructure for industrialisation/transport and greater cost of maintenance as systems grew etc. Correlation does not... etc. I d…

Women have more in group bias, but aren't a homogenous unit and only a minority are feminist.

We teach young boys to be likeable too, feminist thinking is crippled by the fact that they think we are blank slates and all differences in behaviour are socialised. Boys also have testosterone surges at different points in childhood, so "boys will be boys" has biological routes and boys and girls are not identical.

Oh yeah, I completely agree. The facts of male/universal suffrage being unknown would be forgivable if the false story wasn't talked about so much. One point re the talk was that he mentions women being killed in the Peterloo Massacre. When you look at the records of the event, none of the women's deaths were a result of direct violence whereas most of the men's deaths were. So men were killed, whereas women died as a result of falling down stairs avoiding horses etc.

This is the natural progression of existing in a society which doesn't give men the freedom to express themselves in a healthy way. Something I have wrestled with is how masculine expression of emotion and outlet of energy can be spun as a negative in and of itself.

But roaring at or punching/barging through people is bad and men don't tend to cry as a release from anger in t…

I think rejection on the grounds that "man" does not mean adult male is prudent.

Which is a big problem, since if the left (I'm a leftist btw) ignores these actually and truly left wing, humanist issues then the right (and the far right) can incorporate them into their policies and entice voters over. And they are doing so. I hope the mainstream left wake up to this, since it's not the far right they really need to w…

The demographic with the worst chance of going to university in the UK is white, working class males. Women form the majority of the population yet are bundled as a "minority group", so this type of classification isn't something new that sprung from the bowels of the Daily Mail.

It's about the most influential voices. In Scotland, for example, women's prison services are being closed down and replaced with community centres with access to kids etc. At enormous expense with not a shit given for the equally horrible situations that lead men to crime. Feminism in action has gone far beyond equality and is firmly in the realm of (deeply flawed) gender studies hypotheses that started with a conclusion and has selected 'science' to fit ever since.

Clearly feminism has had an effect on birth rate, it's okay to admit this. It has also caused a lot of heartache with women leaving it too late after putting careers first, or having babies with birth defects (higher age, higher risk). House prices are now based on (often unrealistic/risky) multiples of two incomes instead of one, further pushing back the time when it is sensible to have a kid.

Coercion is not "tricking", it's persuasion with force or threats. Unfortunately feminists are diluting this down to persuasion with an inevitable emotional backdrop and equating "threats" with relationship (which is an exchange of sex, among other things, in any case) stuff - and framing it as only negative/criminal when it's the man doing it of course.

But why would being anti-feminist negate being "seriously pro-male rights"? I would argue that you cannot be seriously pro-male rights unless you at least harbour a healthy scepticism towards modern manifestations of feminism.

But this logic does not extend to the ordinary person when it comes to murdering babies with the "infanticide" law.

You need to repeat the experiment a few times, in particular reversing the ages. For example the female group behaviour in this instance could be from one queen bee, plus the fact that the guys are teenagers puts at least the 35 year old in a position of social authority over them, particularly if it's their first job. At the moment, this is as much an anecdote about kids vs older people as it is men vs women.

Yes - I said "women should play best of 5 like the men". Men play for 60% longer in finals, but also draw between 25% and 200% more viewers. Making them play the same length of time in all tournaments isn't addressing the fact that women's tennis and sports in general aren't as exciting to watch because they play at the level of teenage boys so generally don't attract the paying fans and viewers.

Womyn: Yeah but it’s not women committing those assaults, it’s men. Actually there are a lot of young women involved in gangs and street violence. Both directly or indirectly. The difference is that men deplore men who sexually attack women, whereas a lot of young women give blowjobs to gang members if they are not involved themselves. Even otherwise squeaky clean gangsters' wives are responsible in some way for violence by rewarding the behaviour with adoration, sex and children.

I think some perceived 'misogynism' is actually a function of how little women's movements and groups are criticised elsewhere. So reading valid criticism can be jarring.

Patrick Kelly, prosecuting, had been asked by judge Jim Tindal why the false accusation of rape was not mentioned on the indictment. Mr Kelly said there were 'allegations other than rape and just as serious'. Bullshit. More like keeping false accusations off the record. Now there is a conviction - however lenient - that is not linked to the primary accusation. Wanker.

This is about research funding, not treatment per se, and there are more deaths from prostate cancer now in the UK than there are from breast cancer. Cervical cancer kills 7% of the number killed by prostate cancer (with 6% the number of new cases), yet receives well over double that proportional funding from CRUK. Cost and duration of treatment when discussing research funding are not relevant, since successful outcomes in research drastically change that landscape.

I completely agree, and female football players could very well be overpaid compared to the amount of money they take in if we compare like for like. It's like tennis, where women get the same pay for playing far less tennis and having far fewer viewers. The crux of the matter is that to watch the best in the world, you watch the men. People can go and watch highly competitive (and vicious at times) amateur games for free. Go and watch the unders/juniors for very cheap. It's a competitive market…

Yes, in a lot of sports the "men's" league is actually open to women too. With some they are not, but at the same time men can't join a women's team under FIFA rules, which is surely just as "unconscionable". Re Hope Solo, she's only 5' 9" which is short for a modern goalkeeper. In fact it would be morally suspect to put somebody essentially the size, weight and strength of a teenage boy in the line of fire of adult males. It's not worth the risk for the team, the players or her.

In the UK, the vast majority of men who died in WWI could not vote. All men only got the vote in 1918, 100 years ago, on the same day that the majority of women got the vote. All women got the vote a mere 10 years later and the main reason that wasn't in 1918 was because so many men had died that it would have been disrespectful. It's a similar story in Finland, only a minority of men could vote before universal suffrage was introduced. History is a lot more nuanced than feminist indoctrination …

How many men being sent to prison have been victims of serious crime too?

You should read up on feminism and post-modernism. A world where facts are a means of oppression and the feelings/perception of the victim class trump reality. Particularly if a description of that reality is coming from a member of the oppressor class. You're up against a simplistic and divisive combination of ideologies. We're in the wrong class, the oppressor class - we were "born wrong".

There's an argument that we live in a matriarchy. Women select mates, emotionally control the resulting households, can choose to go out to work or can have a man slave provide for her. Women aim up in dating (hypergamy) and prefer mates with more resources and better social status. These resources are shared between partners, remembering that it's women who drive consumerism. The reality is that we have a complimentary yin yang situation, not a definitive patriarchy or matriarchy.

Yes, and flipping the burden of evidence around then the only rape convictions that are proven (to a similar standard as feminists hold false rape allegations) true are the tiny percentage where the defendant has pled guilty with a full confession (and there was no coercion via a plea deal, elsewhere). If it's true that 2% of reports lead to a conviction, then feminist logic dictates that only a small fraction of them are proven true. So what JebberJabber is saying is that only around 0.1% of re…

Surely all guilty pleas using the plea bargain system are coerced? And logically there should not be such a massive disparity between sentencing when pleading innocent or guilty with a plea bargain. The punishment should fit the crime and perjury (assuming guilt of course) is not worth 30 - life in prison.

From the first paragraph, there's only a 0.45% increase in median household income from 2000 - 2016. I am not a fan of the US metric of household income in the first place, since it really tells us very little about individual income. Hidden in those figures is increasing female participation in the workforce and families with children who can't afford to move out. House prices not being included in inflation figures.

The Wikipedia page on false allegations has a number of studies cited, which go from ~1% to 90% IIRC. When you think of the strict definition of false rape allegation that the lower percentage studies require and apply that to all rape allegations, then only a similarly small percentage are true. Logically speaking. Beyond reasonable doubt is sometimes not good enough to define a false rape allegation, only a full recant.

True. But things like this expose the feminist machine for the religious cult that it is. Evidence won't change their position, but the world has been largely oblivious to this and has trusted and/or deferred to them up until this point in time.

I'm not from the US either, I thought it was a flat 6 there, but compulsory schooling varies from state to state (between 5 and 8)... http://ecs.force.com/mbdata/mbquestRT?rep=Kq1401 ... and apparently they can and do send their kids to kindergarten year before the compulsory age, so maybe the kid has been in school for a year and a bit. But maybe not and I saw this comment, "when the child is 6 and probably in kindergarten for most of the d…

I would say that video games during the day is indicative of isolation and that perhaps he has related mental health issues like severe anxiety or depression... there seems to be a distinct lack of empathy and balance involved in criticism of this guy. And the kid is six, so has only been full time in school for a couple of months. He did reject the well paid job offer lined up for him which seems weird and lazy unless we consider that he might be freaking out, in a medical sense.

It's a crazy argument - the thing is that men are sent to prison whilst women walk free or serve much less time for the same crime, with the baby itself used as part of the excuse. So the $47.5k per year saved can be used for child support. Considering a lot of the victims are children themselves they can't pay much child support, one year would cover it for the life of the other child. There often being the best interests of two children to think about.

Outside of the decadent West many more people are trying to escape poverty too, which Gender Studies or Feminist Dance History degrees don't help with.

But if natural collusion/corroboration for revenge, ideological, financial or other motives is possible, then the quantity of accusers is irrelevant. It would just mean more people were involved.

Both are possible. There's the case of the boy in the USA being set up by around 10 girls, with Facebook evidence proving that they concocted the whole thing to get him back for breaking their hearts. This is impossible in your view, which is an extension of "always believe the victim", which in turn doesn't ascribe much intelligence to women.

Signalling sexual interest and playful (+/- tactical) flirting can be indistinguishable from each other, particularly in a slower burning social situation where subtlety is an issue. The pattern is similar though no matter what the setting, non-verbal signals are a massive part of our mating rituals and women do tend to signal availability and subsequently be reactive vs proactive.

It's all very sexist imo, they say that the problem isn't in the harassment per se, but the power dynamic. So a woman can relentlessly flirt with/harass a superior, because it's different. She can sleep with him and it's career progression, unless she wants to complain at some future point whereby he is then he's guilty of harassment and exploitation. Women marry/date up. Men don't. So the entire thing is skewed from the start is the important aspect is power. Not sexual power, not institutional…

There's a logical distinction to be made between modern, decadent feminism (Feminism Inc) and women's rights.

The BAC levels you listed were estimates. At the time of testing he was drunker than she was. This is a good point, extrapolating alcohol levels is not accurate. Extrapolating backwards 4 hours to his test is better. 4 hours = approx. 4 units, which is less than 2 medium glasses of wine.

Females aren't underrepresented in STEM subjects overall at university level though. In some STEM subjects females are actually a sizeable majority and vice versa.

There are jobs to be done that can be done in many different ways. There are aspects of home life that we prioritise differently, or indeed at all. I think this concept of "emotional labour", at least when presented as a negative, arises from diverging expectations and a desire to control the differences in behaviour/outlook, rather than simply accepting them and either meeting in the middle or just getting on with it in your "correct" way.

My point is precisely that entering "Abusive Girlfriend" into Bing gets similar results to entering it into Google. Entering less specific terms into either gets the skewed results one would expect from having decades of enormous volume of material vs hardly any to search through for relevance. One plus of the Bing results is that it doesn't have a Vice article at #1 spot. Possibly because the algorithms haven't been manipulated by SJWs.

Check the results of Bing and Duck Duck Go with the new search term ZombieP0ny used. Unsurprisingly, entering different search criteria produces different results. "emotional abuse signs" in Bing.

I agree, but with the caveat that this is only a small step away from assigning random babies to parents at the hospital. Biological parenthood is an important truth, separate but related to being a good man who consents to raising ad loving a child as his own. If being a biological father is irrelevant, then so is having your biological baby returned to you at the hospital. Babies could be communal, with legal motherhood established with the baby that happens to be with her upon discharge.

No, various form of "self-harm" are recorded as attempted suicide. Taking a few sleeping pills and a glass of Babycham is recorded as attempted suicide when countless thousands of people around the world do that to get stoned on a regular basis with nobody ever dying.
