The comments are a cesspool. And reading them over you know who the biggest morons are? Men. Over-protective fathers who claim to know what "all boys are thinking". Here's a tip, you only know yourself. If you "know" that all boys just want to abuse and use your daughter for sex, chances are you were an asshole who only wanted to use girls for sex growing up. My mother (single-parent household) raised me with a great deal of respect for myself and for others, and I have employed that attitude in…

The project is a response to the rising suicide rate. The rate rose from 2012 to 2013 and this project is being implemented in 2015. I can't say it's intentional by OP, but the title seems to imply that the program is almost causing the rise in suicide.

You know that scientist was joking right? There was a long lead up and then we have the infamous sound bite, and then he continued. And everyone (except for the one woman who reported about it) clearly understood it as a joke.

Well, Bernardo was a serial rapist before he met Homolka, so lets not get carried away. They are both despicable psychopaths, and because of our biased court system she gets to live a full and free life. (Married, has kids, changed her name).

I'd be really surprised if anything happens to this woman. Best case scenario, Elliott is found not guilty and everyone moves on. She'll rant on twitter, probably get a boost to her patreon and nothing will happen. A lot of crazy feminists come from Canada (Chanty Binx (or whatever Big Red's name is), Anita Sarkeesian to name a couple).

He's still playing, but not pro. Link. He filed a lawsuit against his accuser, the school, the authorities, and the lawsuit was dismissed by a judge. Easy for us all to get angry about that part though, but remember, if there is a lack of substantial evidence to support the claim, then there can't be any ruling in favour of the plaintiff. We ask for this in regards to rape allegations, and it should be the same when investigating all other allegations as well.

That doesn't highlight anything. If both parents are single, it should be expected that they are both going to be working (outside of disabilities that prevent it), but in any case - if we're going to believe the mantra that it's all about the "best interests of the child" than the parent with the best resources for that child should get custody. Furthermore, a parent with better resources and better finances can likely provide for better childcare (likely professional childcare institutions ins…

Most frustrating thing is that feminists routinely spin this idea to how it hurts women and represses their sexuality and conveniently ignore that men are shamed and demonized for theirs. Sure, I suppose it can "hurt" both genders. But I'd much rather be thought of as "pure" and "innocent" than evil, dirty and a borderline rapist.

They have realised that. Except they think it's hard because the workplace treats them differently because they're women. "This is hard. They're making it hard because I'm a woman!" No, it's always been hard.

I didn't really go into full detail about the courses. But we would do fitness evaluations at the beginning of the year and then evaluate again at the end of the year. Students who are athletic and scored high both times would get high marks, students who improved would also receive high marks - additionally: evidence of effort and a high rate of participation would also work towards earning a high mark. Those differences in Germany do seem rather unfair though. I can't remember the exact number…

Well, because despite what some might believe, males and females have different standards in Phys Ed. I remember our fitness unit ended with various fitness tests. Men had to complete more pushups, pull ups and sit-ups. We also had to last longer in the endurance test (beep test) for an equivalent evaluation. I didn't see a problem with it. The really athletic girls got 90s, the really athletic guys got 90s. It seemed to effectively evaluate us. But this was also more than a decade ago when it w…

"Victims" was in quotations meaning that they aren't really victims, but would be portrayed as such if you respond violently to a female aggressor. It is wrong, but it is reality. Your comment is not wrong, however, your hostile message to the person who made a sarcastic reply was, because you missed the point of the comment entirely. TiA is /r/tumblrinaction. It's a subreddit dedicated to mocking the logic of radfems (as well as an assortment of other SJW ideas).

Indicators of guilt: 1) Act persuasive and logical. Clearly he's trying to be manipulative and get away with something 2) Act panicked and emotional. Clearly he is overwhelmed with the guilt of his actions. Clearly guilty. So... just a pseudo-"scientific" way to ensure that people who make judgements in these cases always return with the "right" verdict. Man = guilty. Woman = victim.

"Why celebrate it just for women?" Because, if women are affected and at risk, people will give a shit. Men dying? Well, life choices, biology, etc. etc. Women dying?

Funny, I'm Canadian, yet when Obama spews this bullshit it bleeds over the border and it's just as damaging to Canada as it is the US. Also Canadian. Women I know talk about how "oppressed" they are all the time, and it's always quoting an American source or American statistics, or something similar. Yes, the media affects us because we consume American media more than anything else. But, in terms of real life statistics, women are a very "privileged" class in Canada.

In all of these situations, we can link back to the fact of patriarchy as a key cause of gender inequality and harm. Yes, we should be having these conversations.

Women are not suddenly disabled the moment they conceive. Many women continue working in their jobs throughout the majority of pregnancy (depending on the job). Also, the recovery from birth can be as little as a single week for a woman (these are exceptions), but it is not a year long disability. Have you met a pregnant woman? Plenty. Before, during and after pregnancy.

What happened isn't bad. However, the specifics that are mentioned by the author of this particularly article (Heather Kelly) are biased, misleading half-truths.

IIRC there's a clip of him, after being told that MRAs were into his stuff in which he he backs right off. I wonder if that's because he knows what MRAs are actually about, or if it's just a dirty buzzword for misogynists. Either way, as a comedian and public figure, I doubt I'd want to be formally associated with any "controversial" group. I can't blame Bill Burr for that.

Speaking as a teacher who isn't a fucking moron (because the educators who made this seem to lack the ability to think critically). You know why mom's are (typically) more involved?

You can not fix the portion of humanity that does not care about others and do not care if people are harmed. They are not people that can be persuaded. A great post for sure.

And yet, they don't extend that logic to Ray Rice (who clearly was acting in the moment). Not condoning what he did, but the double standard in how violence is treated is alarming.

Agreed. Some (most people are rightfully appalled at Rice's behavior) people seem to be struggling with the fact that society wouldn't care if Rice punched a man in the face. Fine, granted. There are double standards in society where people don't give a shit about violence against men. But the solution is to decry all violence. The solution is to point out this violence that Rice perpetrated against his wife as unacceptable; and it would be unacceptable against anyone - male or female.

The use of "hate" as a word has been softened so much as society (seems to) be obsessed with expressing itself through hyperbole. So, we have hate, which you correctly identify as a very special and strong emotion being watered down... That's fine, language evolves.

Agree, his calculations didn't really sway me at all... I would have wanted a further look at the study and what constitutes "attack" as defined by the people taking the survey.

I honestly don't see a reason to segregate "e-sports" by gender. Especially a turn-based game like Hearthstone.

I honestly think it (particularly the violence) is a result of "nurture". From a young age, men are taught the repercussions of fighting. Picking a fight with someone bigger is not a good idea...

Part of the reaction to this is because a lot of fans of the books are saying the sex was consensual (because, in the books, it is) but it's not effectively depicted that way in the show.

“At a certain point, you get the feeling that you can’t walk through a chapter without expecting something horrible — almost always to a female character — just to prove that this is indeed a very scary and dark piece of literature.” Really?

For it to be sexist, men would have to suffer subjugation from women as a whole. Well, good to know sexism just doesn't exist at all then. I don't subjugate women, neither do any of my friends (that I'm aware of). So, because men don't subjugate women (as a whole) sexism cannot exist (by the commenter's logic).

INF because I should never feel shame for my sexuality when men don't have to To add to that one. I would argue male sexuality is shamed far more than women. Men are seen as out of control, only caring about sex and predatory. Women? Sure, there are some people who shame a woman for being promiscuous (predominantly women, I might add), but overall there is a large portion of our society that is very dedicated to "empowering" female sexuality in every regard.

Just to be clear, I wasn't being serious about the privileged white male. But a graphic like this won't really open anyone's eyes to the true reality of the wage gap: that it is determined by individual choices.

Honestly, this doesn't really dispute the "reality" of 77 cents for the same work. It only then further exacerbates the problem so that it is less about gender and more about race. So, it isn't "men" but the uber privileged white man making almost twice as much as the Hispanic man. Honestly, I don't think this graphic is overly helpful in really understanding the truth behind the wage gap.

Not to mention the fact that the custodial staff are there all day, with another shift generally there doing maintenance well after the students (and teachers have left - I'm a teacher, myself - so I know). The cafeteria staff would arrive to serve breakfast (around 8:00 or so) and then they would leave by 2:00. The school I currently work in has a cooking school in it so the cafeteria workers are teachers, and they certainly make more than the custodians. Ironically, 3 of the 4 cooking teachers…

It was such a bullshit comparison. Okay, custodians are predominantly male, but paid more... what about the female custodians? Are they paid less? No, they're paid the same. This wage gap bullshit always dances around the truth. Find me two employees at a company: one male, one female. They were hired at the same time, have the same educational background and (roughly) the same work experience background. Find me a 23% wage gap between these two employees please, I sincerely doubt it's there.

Yes. A lot of people isolate themselves in the online community of gamers who universally dislike her and then assume that this feeling goes beyond into the mainstream, but it doesn't.

That too. It's a combination of factors I think. The first is that quality ("intellectual") literature is still seen as either an academic pursuit or something for "nerds".

A lot of police I've spoken to (I'm a teacher, so I meet them when they give presentations every now and then) generally say they're more afraid of a knife than a gun. For a few reasons, civilians are generally not as capable with firearms as they are, and there was a certain number of feet where if someone was intent on killing them with a knife where they could close the distance before most officers could draw their weapon. Anecdotal evidence, but just thought I'd weigh in on the whole "don't…

I'm not too sure about other countries, but in Canada the origins of the women's suffrage movement grew out of a Women's Christian Temperance Union that wanted to achieve the vote so that they could ban alcohol because they saw alcohol as being the root of sin and morally objectionable behaviour.

The only truly equal way to eliminate inequality is to remove the government from the equation. Or you can address the second part of the quotation and have equal funding for men's and women's health you can close the gap regarding health. We may just have to accept that men (on average) do live shorter than women. Female dogs (on average) live 1 or 2 years longer than the males, so biologically this might be just natural.

I think it's more difficult with feminism simply because there isn't a unifying piece of literature (or equivalent) that outlines the basis of the movement like Marxism.

Answering these as a devil's advocate, this is not what I believe: What if the woman verbally consents, but is drunk? Still retroactive rape?

I think the most important thing to take away from this is that there is a lot of "grey areas" when it comes to things like this and it's not really fair or right to have the law imposed in such a black or white manner.

While I'll agree with you regarding taking advantage of drunk people. Certainly when I'm sober, a drunk person coming on to me is in no way appealing. However, if both people are drunk the bad idea quickly becomes a good idea or a "who cares" idea. However, the fact remains that both parties should be held responsible for their stupid decision. And no, I don't see women as passive participants... But, that seems to be the line of logic that leads to women always being the victim, never the initi…

It's best to do that to be safe, from a legal perspective.

Agreed, playing devil's advocate though. The counter I hear to that often (there's always a bullshit counter) is that for drunk driving the woman still takes the initiative to drive the car. Regarding sex (since rape is defined as essentially requiring a penis to perform the penetration - we need to fix this, but that's another topic) the woman is not the active participant but rather a passive participant. To badly build off of the drunk driving analogy. If a man and a woman are drunk and have …

The "need" for quotas (I put this in quotes, because I don't believe this argument, I'm simply relaying it) is that there is a pervasive misogyny that is prevalent throughout society and Western culture that prevents women from realizing their potential and obtaining an equal footing in society. This is an argument used by feminists to keep their organizations relevant because, from a legal perspective, feminists have accomplished all that it is possible to accomplish in the name of equality (an…

Legally speaking they're allowed, as it's a private business. The only reason this isn't more common is because of bad public image... For example, if the genders were reversed in their policy, there would be complaints, probably some media coverage, and the business would change their policy as a business decision, not a legal one.

If you can't tell the difference in tone between a playful "We can't" or "I shouldn't" and "No, stop raping me" then I think you're the one with communication issues because you can't discern context.

This. I think the important message you should take from the stories and discussion here is that you should be careful and aware of the potential dangers. Obviously, it's impossible to see the future and who your SO will be down the road, but you shouldn't go without potentially having a wonderful family (if that's what you want) because of an all-encompassing fear of women and relationships.

It was pretty good until the "Who is affected" subheading. The Code protects both men and women from sexual harassment, but women are more affected than men.

The point of my original post isn't to completely discard any sort of screening process.

I'm assuming that many readers here didn't finish the whole article because the beginning of it was horrendous. I agree with you though, some interesting points regarding economic and social standing. Such as the increase in domestic violence among women and female judges giving out harsher penalties. Near the end the conclusion seems to indicate power over others, not gender, instils aggression... Nothing groundbreaking there though.

Yeah, I wanted to stop reading there, but persevered. There's some interesting points made near the end regarding that economic and social standing determine aggression, not biology...

What's not true? The fact that guys host parties and let girls in for free so that they can have a better shot at getting laid? I don't really know what's not true about my comment. Yes, bars have also been doing this for a long time with a similar principle. Girls in for free = more girls, which means more guys will come hoping to get laid.

I think it's to make sure the hosts of the party increase their odds of getting laid.

It's not the execution that costs the most money, it's the time on death row that they allot for appeals and other forms of further legal investigation to "make sure" that they don't execute an innocent man. Which, realistically, is a very reasonable course of action to take.

Just wanted to drop this quote from the article: "She’s a doctor and he’s a dentist, but Mendonca earns more because she works longer hours."

Yeah, it tends to more often be men promoting this attitude (at least in my experiences with these stories).

I think that study might be somewhat misleading for a few reasons.
