Dude he's not absolving people who use the bot of responsibility. He's just pointing out that some subs have put this sub in the auto ban list for their bots. I think you're reading way too much into the original comment.

Lol @ those down votes. I swear this site has forgotten about hyperbole entirely. Anyway what kind of games are you in to? My current laptop is pretty good but I've got a ton of experience gaming on decade old machines and I'd be happy to help you find some stuff that's quality.

Legit. But it's definitely worth pointing out that this sub is intentionally removed from the left/right political dynamic. It doesn't matter what your idea of a brighter future is. If you believe that men are people and should be treated fairly, you belong here. Liberal, conservative, corporatist, communist, whatever your political philosophy is this is a place to discuss men's issues.

Lol no. This is horrifying even by our standards. "Of course it's Florida" is drunk idiots getting fucked up by alligators or naked seniors riding their lawnmowers through the neighbor's fence. Also various stories involving the key terms "methamphetamine" and "trailer park" or some asinine shit at Disney World featuring entitled rich kids and/or neo nazis. Florida brand crimes are wacky.

The problem with men dropping out of the military and other high risk occupations (firefighters, oil rig workers, linemen and the like) is that society requires that these jobs be filled in order to function. That work has to get done or everything goes completely to hell for everybody.

So a man is in the online space for men to discuss men's issues and he's sharing something specific that he's dealing with that is directly related to the point of this particular online space and you choose to mock him?

So you're saying having gender specific spaces is a good thing. The criticism is the removal of major Boy Scouts events as a gendered space for boys. Your response to that specific criticism largely amounts to "if you can't handle girls in a space previously designated exclusively for boys then you must be the problem" when you just said you support gendered spaces. Make it make sense?

In this particular case it's two things. The first, like others have already pointed out, is basic simp stuff. The other is that any anomaly is bound to attract attention. I've been the only American in the room, for example, and I had the spotlight whether I wanted it or not and it was 100% because I was in the middle of nowhere Europe and very few of the others had met an American before. So combine the anomaly effect with the standard human male tendency to be nice to women and you've got the…

There is literally nothing stopping someone from doing that now. I did see a video in which a mildly masculine looking woman was accused of being a man and assaulted for trying to use the women's room thanks to all this hysteria though.

The numbers are also likely distorted by men committing crimes on behalf of women. The classic "that guy upset me and I want you to kick his ass for me" scene, for example, would normally be categorized simply as a crime committed by a man.

/u/Session-Special didn't mention gender. Imagine we have a union, Widget Makers International. All the widget makers join WMI and there are four times as many front line widget makers as there are quality control people, who are also part of the union because they make widgets. The union head is likely to ignore the quality control guys if they disagree with the front line guys based solely on numbers.

You know what? That's a solid point. American conservatives are frequently all about the idea that success is proof of hard work and so the wealthy deserve their status just as much as the poor, BUT, and I'm saying this with all sincerity, you don't hear them openly shrieking about how men are evil/responsible for literally every bad thing that ever happened. I have a lot of issues with the American conservative movement but that is something I can 100% get behind and support.

A quick scan of the article indicates that it's horse shit. No information aside from age is given about the men polled such as how many or how they were selected. For all we know they just called everybody who works out at Manny Manpower's Swole Shack For Kings.

I know in the United States we have what we call Romeo and Juliet laws that create specific age of consent carve-outs for these situations. It varies by specific jurisdiction but the gist is an 18 year old doesn't go to jail for being with a 16 year old but a 20 year old does. Best of both worlds, I think. It punishes legit predators while still recognizing that high school kids are absolutely going to do stupid things when they're alone together and probably shouldn't go on a list for it.

I mean, a good portion of Le Patriarchy requires men to be violent animals or it stops making sense. The whole thing hinges on the assumption that any given man has the power to use violence to get what he wants from a woman and thus all men are empowered by this ever present unspoken threat.

My complaint when I was enlisted was the lower physical fitness requirements for women. If you're in a non-combat role then sure, I'll let it go, but a male lying on the ground with shrapnel in his legs doesn't become 20% lighter just because the soldier who has to carry his ass to cover is female. Incoming fire also travels at the same speed regardless of the target's gender. This is life or death stuff and I don't think the Reaper much cares about politics.

Bro, respectfully, I think you're reading way too much into OP's comments. She's not saying women's day is inherently wrong or that women aren't equal to men. She's disgusted with contemporary feminism and how women's day is widely celebrated and men's day is either ignored or treated like a joke. And regarding why she's throwing shade at one and not promoting the other, she very well could be doing both. Her post was meant as a sincere gesture of solidarity and that's it.

It's faulty logic. It starts from the assumption that men commit 80% of all violent crime and then moves to "therefore 80% of men are violent."

Just to use totally arbitrary numbers for the "Hollywood" earners, if his net worth is 100M he could easily lose 25 and still be with 75M.

"Trust but verify." I've always loved that phrase. It's such an elegant way to explain that you're not double checking something out of any sort of hostile suspicion but rather an abundance of caution. The only thing I've ever heard come close has been "measure twice, cut once," but that assumes the person you're talking to has experience building things.

It's such an elegant way to explain that you're not double checking something out of any sort of hostile suspicion but rather an abundance of caution. The only thing I've ever heard come close has been "measure twice, cut once," but that assumes the person you're talking to has experience building things.

I feel like that's what's wrong with a lot of the social discussion and attitude about sex, that it's something men do to women. It immediately establishes a power dynamic that colors one's entire view on human sexuality and, unless we're talking about MtF rape, should be done away with entirely.

It's Gamestop's fault for selling GTA 15 to my ten year old son that I gave money to, it's Rockstar's fault for making a game that kids like, it's my IPS's fault for not blocking all the dirty sites on the internet and letting that same 10 year old watch South Park. All of these things are, ultimately, allowed into the home by the parent who pays…

With digital distribution becoming more common, it's actually easier for parents to control what games their kids play by controlling access to their credit cards. Then of course there's the oft forgotten method of paying the hell attention to what your kids are doing.

From the summary: If some youth offenders are subject to these laws, they should never be automatically placed on registries without undergoing an individualized assessment of their particular needs for treatment and rehabilitation... [Emphasis Mine] The fact that this isn't already the case is freaking ludicrous. No juvenile should be subject to automatic sentencing where the judge involved has little to no discretion.

In certain circles, young women are actively taught that hitting a man is a display of power because it's something she can do that he can't. The whole "What if this situation were reversed, would it be okay?" aspect of it is literally the point. I'm not sure if this is a systemic cultural thing or not but I've definitely seen it practiced and intentionally passed on from older women to high school girls around here.

The chances of someone actually being arrested because a girl screamed rape on a crowded street are probably pretty low. The chances of him ending up face first in the wall while the bouncers wait for the cops to sort it out, on the other hand...

Saw a similar thing happen once when I was a bystander. She started yelling about how he tried to rape her, so I started yelling something along the lines of "Absolutely!

fewer men volunteering for ANY position that is even remotely connected to working with children or teens (minors). Which means our children are being steeped in the fear of men right from the get-go. Without any decent male role models around to disprove the culture of fear that drove them (men in teaching, day care, etc) away in the first place, the next generations are being taught that men are terrible creatures that exist mostly to rape women.

I liked the comment that said consent is predicated on honesty. Therefore, if you lie to someone in the course of sleeping with them, you've raped them.

I've certainly had my fair share of odd looks when I take my kid to the playground by myself.

Lawyer Up This. Any time you're about to do something important that you have no experience in, it's a wise idea to do so under the guidance of an expert. A lawyer is just that - an expert in legal matters. Don't say anything other than "no thanks, I don't really drink coffee" until you have a lawyer in the room.

This is part of the reason why I don't do much MRM stuff on FB. That, and it's nearly impossible to have an intelligent discussion on there about anything controversial.
