Yes. Rape is a viable and natural evolutionary strategy. That isn't just true, it's obviously true. That isn't to say it is good, if people reading along need me to point that out. Morality is just not in the scope of this present conversation.

Male gender roles are resistant to change because society depends on them to function. How so? This feels directionally true, as disposability should be directly proportional with instrumentality, but could you expand?

Masculinity studies is a burgeoning field, the highest profile person is probably Richard Reeves, so there's something going on there. He reports his feminist colleagues in the ivory tower are awfully fretful about "the man problem." I imagine as men's outcomes continue to deteriorate, and as men increasingly pose a political problem to the centre left coalitions that entrench feminism, they'll start hiring tokenized masculinity researchers, just like how feminist studies was a little boutique f…

Right, which is what annoys me about the manosphere. They keep pointing young angry men to things like the trades, and denigrating academia. It's exactly ass backwards. They should be pointed to academia, to start a long march through the institutions. The playbook is open, and right in front of us.

Feminism, yes. Women, no, never. They're just people. There's nothing unique about their flaws. If shitty women weren't women, but men instead, they'd still be shitty, just in some other way. So what does their gender have to do with it at all, really?

Why is that femicide and not like, partnericide? Do these guys generally go around and kill pregnant women because they're pregnant women? No, they kill them because they're their romantic partners. China's one child policy is what femicide looks like to me, parents killing girls because they are girls, specifically. It can't be reduced to anything else, they're not killing their children, because they don't kill their sons. They're killing girls for being girls.

The 1970s are frequently pointed to by people to show how close we still are to women's oppression, and how precarious that makes their station -- how many times have you heard it that women were still barred from having their own credit cards until the 1970s? I hear that repeated in real life. Conversely, the 1970s for men are pointed to by people to show how distant the draft is, and how secure a station men are in. Fun with doublethink.

But it is women's responsibility, just as it was men's responsibility to build a society that worked for women. That's what we're all tiptoeing around. There is no way to cleave men and women from each other. It's a delusion. It seems to me quite trivial to take this response and provide it right back to feminists. Oh society's not working out too well for women? That's a shame. Not my responsibility though. Disgusting. Solidarity was a fucking scam. Let me turn around so you can pull the knife …

Sure they exist, but you don't create a model around the outlier. "Sexual health is a component of mental health" is broadly true. Pointing to asexual people is like pointing to people who have a functional copy of the L-gulono-γ-lactone oxidase enzyme and concluding that vitamin C isn't necessary for humans to stay alive. It is. But because of that genetic idiosyncracy, someone with that enzyme never worries about citrus. They are already "whole" and do not experience the selective pressure. Th…

It's especially funny because TERFs are transphobic exactly because they're misandrists. Their problem with trans women is specifically that they have a penis, they're very open about that. They're chauvinists who think the only possible reason someone with a penis would want to wear women's clothes and use the women's restroom is to ogle the women and jerk off, and they're so committed to that chauvinism that they're willing to dehumanize and invalidate an entire minority population just to kee…

It's very telling of the fact that Bernie Sanders is an old school lunch bucket socialist. Everything he knows about identity issues is what progressive activists have coached him on over the past eight years to try to pump his electability with black primary voters. That Sanders is clueless about men's issues is actually part and parcel of what people like about Bernie Sanders. He's got one message.

I'm an effeminate kind of guy and that was my experience in college, except without the follow up, and it's why I could never get all the way on the progressive boat. It's like meeting a bunch of Christians who never shut up about love turn around and sneer at you for being poor, or whatever.

I think it depends on the type of war. If you would like to invade Vietnam, yeah, you better pay for a professional army.

The objectification is in the depiction of male heterosexuality itself; the pop culture feminist, in always emphasizing themes of violence, aggression, threat, and rape, depicts male heterosexuality as little more than an objectification of her own emotions towards it. There are more forms of objectification than sexualization like how we tend to talk with regards to women. Men are objectified via threat narratives.

It absolutely will. The introduction of women's shelters led to a precipitous decline in husbands murdered by their wives, because instead of killing their abusive spouse, they could get out instead. And yet they won't do it. Because it isn't about helping women. It's about hating men. Nothing else explains a women's rights movement committing to a position that gets women killed.

Because once you acknowledge that misandry is a structural force in society, the music stops for basically the entire idpol left and feminism in particular, which with its history vis a vis men starts looking an awful lot like a hate movement. You ever wonder why it's toxic masculinity and not internalized misandry, despite a supermajority of men themselves thinking the first term is offensive and the second isn't? There you go. Anything to delegitimize that concept.

Why does feminism have to fight for men's issues? If it's a women's rights movement, it doesn't. If it's a gender equality movement, it does. The feminist is one or the other based on whatever best suits her goals in the moment. When crafting policy, it's a women's rights movement. When doing PR, it's a gender equality movement. But if we're judging feminists by the worst of feminists, then we gotta judge men by the worst of men. And we commit the majority of sexual assault and violent crime, so…

Feminism should conceptualize a version of gender equality from women's perspectives. That's totally fine. Men should conceptualize a version of gender equality from their perspective. Where the models conflict should be worked out and compromised on. Ideally, you'll have a system that makes 60% of people happy. That's equality. Versus "I get everything I want the way I want it and you don't even get to participate in the conversation." That might be feminism, but it's not equality, and I'm tire…

Or maybe feminists have conservative psychological states wrt men. Remember, the conservative worldview is one that is motivated primarily by fear and threat. It's really no great mystery that you can watch a progressive morph into a conservative in real time by bringing up men's issues.

The problem you have to overcome is to get people to care about men at some baseline level. Whether you think men ought to be empowered within this paradigm so they might have a chance to survive the meatgrinder, or you think the paradigm should be changed altogether, largely comes down to how much faith you have in other people. I would prefer the paradigm be changed, but I have seen nothing in other people to suggest it's even close to a reality. I've said this before, but the reason I care ab…

It's a dated point, not many passenger ships left. You can make the same point in other ways. How many faceless mooks mowed down in any piece of media that you've ever watched have been women?

It's an awful solution, because it's not a solution at all, it's a "I'd prefer equality, but that doesn't seem to be happening, so I guess it's a free for all. Sucks, but oh well" tactic. But what I hope it's pointing out is the same Achilles heel all of these 21st century left wing identitarian movements have in common: there's no leverage.

Equality with women is complicated by the fact that they can succeed in affecting change for themselves through appeals to empathy and solidarity. Neither of these avenues work for men, as both men and women are biased empathetically to women, people are psychologically comfortable with inflicting institutional harm on men, and this wave of feminism has raised an entire generation of women to feel zero solidarity or obligation towards men whatsoever, even as they demand it incessantly.

I think you're wildly downplaying the prevalence of female on male rape, yes. The stats are wildly underreported, for two main reasons. One, because people generally don't have a recognizable model for what it even looks like, and two, because the shame you will feel from yourself and from others if you admit you were raped by a woman is something many men find worse than just suffering in silence about it, or even squaring with the truth of it.

Feminism is a formally articulated ideology that organizes masses of people across domains with ideocrats who have their hands on the levers of real power.

They are both mono-perspective conceptualizations about gender equality that privilege one gender's testimony, prejudice the other, and only allow women or men to generate legitimized knowledge about contested concepts, respectively.

Your wife is right, of course. The challenge you're going to run into is that the modern gestalt is uncomfortable giving women agency, because it undermines the idea of patriarchal realism, and women's choices are rather understood to be a summation of the social forces acting upon them rather than coming from an internal locus of control.

A lot of queer spaces tend to be populated by or commingle with cis women and what cis women see as "women-lite," ie any queer identity that excludes overtly masculine presenting individuals including transmen who pass as cis men.

It's like a feminist sub posting a creepshot of a dude manspreading on public transport with a soliloquy on how it reveals that the True Nature of Men is to dominate …

I think that is true for the vast majority of men, but Ninja isn't the vast majority of men, he's the 0.1% of men. The more successful you are, the more attractive a target you are to sociopaths, the more you have to lose. I don't think John from accounting needs to worry about this kind of stuff but I think it's fine if hypersuccesful guys like Ninja find it prudent to cover their asses.

A majority of men who commit suicide are found to have been in contact with mental health professionals preceding their suicide. I think it's around ~55%. I think "victim blaming" as a term has been mostly driven into the ground by casual overuse. I just call it the empathy gap in action, and an inability or unwillingness to think about men with any amount of complexity.

The worst, in my opinion, is the oft-repeated line about men choosing "more violent" ways to kill themselves which is used to both paint men as uncaring and self-centered because women ostensibly care more about who might find their bodies and to downplay the undeniable fact that men commit the vast majority of successful suicides as nothing but a consequence of "male" impulsiveness and violence You can always tell something is bullshit when multiple discrete logical steps are being employed to …

I think you're exactly right in your description and wrong in your prescription. Assumptions that are deterministic of intent are the biggest social virus we have today and are largely responsible for the absolute degeneration of our large scale social discussions. Feminism, though, is not a minority movement in any sense of the word. It is a majority movement. It has a large degree of penetrance with the broader population, it absolutely dominates the academy and major cultural institutions, an…

Ideologies are characterized by statements, things you can rationally subscribe to, and where not by statements, by actions. You can generalize about Christians because Christians, generally, hold things in common, of their own volition. That is a feature of ideology, it's uniting. You cannot generalize about women, because as a class of people women are wildly divergent. Being a woman is not a statement of belief nor an action subordinate to a belief. If I tell you somebody is a woman, I have t…

Thoughts on women as a whole? Reciprocal. The flip side of the same coin. Do you think about an all-male society or is that insane? Utterly fucking unhinged. Both women and men are inalienable to the human condition. Do you believe feminism has run it's course? do you still believe some areas need it more than others? Depends on where you're looking. In the west it is starting to become the Oil Lobby for Women, divorced of any earnest transcendental goals, uncoupled from any internal consistency…

Places agency on the social movement to improve circumstances rather than outside groups What movement? There is no movement. You're on a sub with less than 20k members. You can't 1:1 your women's and men's advocacy because women have 1) a sense of class consciousness that has been nurtured for over a century, 2) the backing of the academy, and 3) a political machine that expressly lobbies and legitimizes their specific interests.

The media calls them right wing because to the pop soc101 narrative young men are mass shooters, incels, irreverent Discord gamers, and loser manosphere denizens, and these young men tend to be right wing. The rest don't exist, they're inconsequential. John the 24 year old moderate Democrat is not what "young men" means. It's a shell game, watch the marble.

When I was a kid I felt like most emotional nudging from adults steered me towards manifesting anger as a way to tackle whatever the other emotion was: sadness, fear, shame, disappointment, get angry about it. Fear the most. I don't think I am allowed to express anger as an adult, though. Which is funny because I'm afraid a lot.

"Yes means yes" means that consent is considered absent until confirmed. "No means no" means that consent is considered present until revoked. Small, but important differences. The first one puts the onus on the one "doing." The second one puts the onus on the one "receiving." Which one makes more sense depends on the system it is trying to regulate. Take two propositions. I am going to hit you in the head with a hockey stick, versus I am going to give you a hug. Hitting someone with a hockey st…

I don't feel safe or unsafe so much as I feel cognizant of danger. I think a lot of women in my life would be surprised to know I follow almost all the same rules they do. I preferentially park in well lit areas. I don't accept drinks I didn't see poured. I scope out and am aware of strange men around me. I have a "you don't want to fuck with me" face and walk that I put on when I'm out by myself. The major difference seems to be that I'm not neurotic about it. I give it as much credit as the ac…

But I just don’t understand how things like this go viral. I think mostly people underestimate just how much fun it is to shit on people, how enjoyable it is to be an asshole in a manner that is socially acceptable. I don't know why we can't collectively own up to it. I've noticed it in myself, that temptation. Being even-handed and rational is work. It's not fun. The base levels of my monkey brain would much rather have an emotional narrative that privileges my perspective or experience in some…

I don't even disagree that railing on feminism can be less than constructive if you want to talk about positive steps that can be taken for men, it certainly can. But the idea that the only way men's problems can be understood or meaningfully discussed is through an orthodox feminist lens is just absurd.

People have always, I mean always, cared bout sexual violence. It has rarely been a dismissible sort of thing. It is a central feature of the species’ modes of fear mongering rather explicitly towards racist, bigoted, sexist, classist, cultural chauvinistic and tribalistic ends. One of the big lies in feminism and within the broader discourses is the pretense that people don’t care bout sexual violence. People might selectively care bout it, they might use it to target this or that group, but th…

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the "what is good for people" discussion contextualizes and informs the "what is good for men/women" discussion by giving it a destination and necessary constraints. You cannot have infinite degrees of freedom around what it is to be a man or a woman because men and women do have fundamental differences and society is by its nature collaborative, there are some reciprocal responsibilities that are normative that we have to each other. And when those interes…

I'm so sick of having this conversation 'what is good for women' / 'what is good for men' And I'm really ready to have this conversation what is good for people in general "How would you construct society if you had no idea who you were going to be in it?" That's a question worth our collective talents. Much of my consternation about the dialogue today is that it boils down to "how can I get the most for me and mine while giving the absolute least possible to others?" Too many rights, not enough…

I see it more as a reactionary cultural impulse from Me Too. You don't have to go back very far to find a landscape where rape cases weren't politicized enough to even have an emotional orthodoxy attached to them. Today they are like the entire cause of female liberation in microcosm, so people become very emotionally invested when discussing them.

Btw, it's true: as a man, no one will ever care about your mental health. I've learned to keep quite about this topic as people simply do not care This is not true, they do care. They care that it makes them uncomfortable to hear about, and they care that an expression of suffering carries a social expectation to help, which they do not want to be burdened with.

You're not wrong. I've lost two relationships with women because I disclosed my bisexuality. The funny thing is that one of them was also a bisexual woman LOL.

The older gender role only made sense as a way to protect children, women are protected by proxy of a child requiring a caretaker and by being materially worse at making war. Protecting children is still sensible. If you are going to keep conscription, make it unisex but with a waiver for mothers of one or more children, because female infantry does remain suboptimal, so the opportunity cost of not using men is just higher. Those are balanced interests. Has to be one or more children because in …

It's because calling yourself a 10 when you're not a 10 isn't perceived as being confident, it's perceived as being insecure. Confidence is attractive, that's just not what confident behavior is. Is Uncle Rico being attractively confident when he says he can throw a football over the mountains? No, because it's obviously not true. Is the lady in the video being attractively confident when she says she's not perfect in front of a group? Yes, that does take confidence.

I agree with you, and operate in the world in a similar way, but you can take people in a room, ask them to match with each other, and, absent any other information, they will pair up on similar levels of perceived conventional attractiveness. It's a social reality, something people are attuned to, consciously or otherwise.

I really don't have a particular issue with "whores" exactly, your relationship with your sexual identity is your business, and you're the captain of your own ship and all that. But that goes for me as well. I did the casual and fwb things for a bit in my early 20s and didn't enjoy it at all. Made me feel cheap and fake. If you enjoy it, cheers, that's your prerogative, but I want to be with someone who understands sex similarly to how I understand sex. I want it to mean the same thing to my par…

I worked in the ER for 3 years and dated a couple of them, the work environment is like a high school cafeteria. Gossip and drama and lots of posturing with other nurses and the MDs. If you don't participate you get ostracized. Turns normal people into Mean Girls. Clearly it's not ALL nurses, nothing is all anything, and is probably more true for ER nurses than floor nurses.
