I'm curious, what cause the dismantling of your DEI office? Is your company affected by Trump's executive orders, or is this change in the "vibe" of corporate culture.

I don't get this either, in all my years of working in a office setting, anger is sign a failure of leadership. If my male boss shouted at me or berated me, I would be looking for a new job. I wouldn't hum and haw at how masculine and "boss" like he is.

WPATH believes these treatments are experimental: Given the lifelong implications of medical treatment and the young age at which treatments may be started, adolescents, their parents, and care providers should be informed about the nature of the evidence base. It seems reasonable that decisions to move forward with medical and surgical treatments should be made carefully. Despite the slowly growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of early medical intervention, the number of studie…

Stripping the gender aspect of this, many parents do this to give their kids an advantage in school, it is called "Red Shirting". There is even a movement to try to block parents from gaming the system this way. While we risk 1 less year of retirement, this has the potential to improved academic performance and give better life time earnings including access to white collar jobs with better retirement benefits. It is not that dumb of a practice.

The CDC website for the NISVS study has a methodology report that looks into the changes in estimates between 2015 and 2017. Its fairly long and detailed, so i'll leave it for the interested reader to look at: https://www.cdc.gov/nisvs/documentation/DataAssessmentReport.pdf

I think that is a huge issue on the left. Those who buy into this "be strong for others" on the left tend to be the people who willfully degrade themselves in a "pick-me" type attitude. Whatever that is, I don't want it. It seems that the left doesn't know how to treat men as an equal while supporting women.

I'd say that being a nurse is a job of self sacrifice which doesn't mean disposable. EMS and Fire rescue too. You work hard, with long hours and it's often thankless and sadly poorly paid. But people still do that job because its a calling. You do it for the good of others. I work in public health and this framing is a HUGE problem in the field, it is inherently predatory and abusive to said nurses, EMS, social workers, etc. It burns people out and leaves them drained, those who survive find a a…

The question amounts to "How do we make men stop being misogynists?" If we knew how to accomplish that, we'd already have done it. Lol, if only they could ask someone who has lived experiences of being a man... No no no, they are all out of ideas.

There are other "tricky" areas of trans rights too, in particular for me, how we treat children with gender dysphoria. For example, the current "affirming care" model means that there is not really any diagnosis or screening before their gender is "affirmed". It is a real issue that we don't know who is distress because they are truly trans vs. if they have an underlying mental illness or abuse. There is also a push for schools to hide gender transitions from parents, California now bans the rep…

I 100% agree! It doesn't have to be at odds, but it requires good faith conversations and good faith application of this framework. The current social justice movement has very little when it comes to men's issues.

I point out that this is a moment to connect with your fathers, brothers, sons, and partners. Drop the bullshit and take this moment to show them they are valued. Regardless of where you think men stand in society, think about where the men in your life stand and what they mean to you. I don't try to make it a competition of who suffers more, it is just a waste of time. I frame it about what you value... It is hard for the average person, even feminists, to say they hate their father, husband, o…

I have been thinking into getting back into therapy but my friend told me not many out there are trauma informed at all. That seems like a gross mischaracterization, therapist are literally trained to help you work through life events, stress, and trauma. Got to https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists and look up therapists in your area, they all have profiles describing their philosophy and specializations. Pick one that resonates with you and matches your needs.

Awesome work! I thought these slides were great and well thought out! This touches on one of my biggest gripes about "Patriarchy" and other feminist theory is that they are not falsifiable and not grounded in science.

Congratulations! I am going to be a father of a boy soon too! The value of men is so shocking low in society. Just picking a name shows how little we value them. Girls have hundreds of beautiful names to pick from, symbolizing all sorts of things, while boys names are so utilitarian, short, and lack any real imagery. It feels like men in society are just tools and their existence isn't valued. All I want is to name my son something to shows he is intrinsically valuable and loved just like if I h…

I asked this exact question and got the same response a couple years ago in that same subreddit. The most telling thing to me is that they openly claim feminist helps mens, but at the same time systematically exclude them from support by labeling them "oppressors". If you press the further they will also admit any benefits to men are an after thought and their focus will always be women first. Their big open tent shrinks the more and more they talk.

Allowing something because it can't be stopped is not a good argument. Absent of context, it actually is the foundation of the public health principles of "harm reduction". If people are going to do something, at least we can reduce secondary risks as a result of making it illegal. This is why comprehensive sex education works better than abstinence only education. But I agree body autonomy is vastly more compelling and important.

The framework is valuable when used in good faith. But in practice, it is used often to minimize and exclude men from conversations of oppression and deny the most vulnerable men resources. The flaws in how it is practiced is the whole reason why this subreddit exists. Where is the intersectional space for our issues in the broader feminist subreddit? Why is the other often promoted men's feminist subreddit (menslib) focused more on women's issues than men's? The biggest issues is that there no …

Per my original comment, sometimes the topic is about feminism, rape, racism, workplace discrimination, education disparities, legal disparities, or anything really, when they suddenly become male circumcision rants out of nowhere. I am for having these discussions when they are relevant e.g., female genital mutilation, body autonomy, mens issues broadly, and obvious when male circumcision are the focus of the conversation. But listing male circumcision as another chip in a list of wrongs to pro…

Thats a weird thing to say, it is still widely practiced and is legal in most places. I would consider it a problem worth addressing.

It isn't bad to advocate strongly against genital mutilation. But it is not helpful in many contexts to use it as pissing contest with feminists to prove how men are more oppressed from women. It is honestly questionable if these men even care about circumcision or if this is a standard talking point that they use to win arguments. There is no advocacy involved in many of these rants, its just "feminism == bad" and even in that context it is not a very good argument.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates09/02/22 02:27 PM

To get meta, I would also state im against it but it is one of many issues to address. Specifically, there are alot of MRAs out there that whip themselves up in a frenzy online and go on these major nonsequitor rants about circumcision. That doesn't help anyone... mostly because it is clear no one is listening at that point because it stopped being a conversation.

I was at the women's March in DC, it was just a black lives matter protest, most of the speeches were not focused on women's issues. Not to mention the original organizers were pushed out by intersectional feminists who had strange ties to antisemtic organizations and people.

I think you would have to restructure the foundational works of intersectionality to move past bi-directional oppressor-victim framework. The critical linchpin is that there is this view that you sum up your identity's privileges and oppressions on a single dimension (e.g., gender) and if you have more privileges than oppressions, you are an oppressor/privileged class, so inherently you do not deserve space, attention, or resources. It doesn't actually matter what intersections you have with tha…

I think this has been said before, but no one has a problem with how you describe intersectionality (that is often how it is sold), the issues you described is how intersectionality is practiced (and quietly defined). We are in caught in a nomenclature no-man's land.

I've said this before. Intersectionality is a useful tool to understand where people struggle and how to support them, but it is best used to examine your own experience in an earnest manner or examine your own bias of other groups. As OP stated, this interpretation is one that we all can agree on: In short it seems to be an argument for empathy and for saying that we can't always understand someone else's position in life rather than judge them pre-emptively. The biggest problem I see with mode…

Amusingly, I've seen threads about this is menslib, awhile back. I can only speculate how that discussion went... But the term "false masculinity" is a pretty good descriptor! It immediately makes clear what is happening and how trying to obtain something that isn't real is the problem, not being male in itself.

Wow. holy crap! that was a big cluster of an AMA. Intersectional feminism (as it is currently designed) has no space for men as nothing but allies. The sad part is it would be so natural for them to allow men to be victims too, the framework to support all victims of trauma is there... but it seems too inconvenient for them politically and would take away an easy scapegoat. I value the tools that feminism uses to identify oppression in groups of people, but it is really tragic that they can't se…

That other subreddit is expressly an intersectional feminist space(read the wiki), meaning it is more about how men can support women rather than a space to actually help men. Under intersectionality, the "oppressor" cannot also be oppressed under the same dimension, so it doesn't leave much room for men to suffer in their schema. The framing is also by default taking the view of the oppressed, so your perspective does not really matter. The most you can do is try to frame it in a way that harms…

Many feminist care, but it is hard for them to see past the bad acts of a few men, so it is hard for them to feel compassion for men.

There are laws already on the books that makes knowingly transmitting a STD to someone a misdemeanor. HIV had special status for some reason making it a felony or something.

No. Because feminism inherently views the world through the female perspective i.e., "lens." So by definition they are going to look outwards towards the "patricarchy" for all of their problems. That is why even when they claim to help men, they can't help but blame men for men's problem. I mean... if rigid gender roles harm both men and women and both misguided men and women enforce these gender roles, why is it called the patriarchy?

Feminists who don't understand feminist are the ones who will tell you about how feminism cares about men.

Stigmas can change, it just takes openness about mental illness to make that change. Keep in mind being gay or premarital sex was taboo just 50 years ago.

I also think that issues of health, including issues of mental health, are very private and personal and that people should keep those things to themselves.

The feminist argument is two fold, 1. It is a shitty thing to do and 2. It happens to predominately women. As I stated before, "to a certain extent", I would argue the first point is very true, I guess agreeing with you in hindsight. I've seen many people generally respond with "how is this offensive or annoying, I'm just asking someone to smile" and maybe I was just reacting to that. It can be really annoying and I don't think that is a valid defense.

/r/askfeminism is surprisingly tolertant. Try not starting your posts with unsupported claims(citations really help our case) and posting new threads in their subreddit calling out specific users.

I'm sorry but you are making some large assumptions about the human psyche not based in fact. Many of these surveys are anonymous offering people to give more candid responses, there is no reason to lie (and lie of a massive coordinated scale to affect the results, while being randomly selected to take a survey). Also, your statement goes both ways, male victims of rape are under reporting actual abuse too. Would you call their attacks not "rape" too?

FBI states that their statistics are of "known to law enforcement." The higher statistics are based on self-reports. We know that under reporting of sexual assault is a problem for both MEN and women. This accounts for the largest difference. Both figures should be viewed as correct, but measuring two different things i.e., reported crimes vs. actual crimes. The real criticism should be how we define rape and sexual assault. That can inflate the number wildly.

No. They didn't lie about it. They even stated the difference on the 2nd page in a bold box. Their credibility is still intact in my eyes. All measurement has error, their is no "right" answer, which is why it is important to read the actual methodology to understand what they are measuring. The true criticism here is do you personally agree with the definition?

See page 2 and differences in surveys, I would just be quoting that.

Their own methodology report suggests that the higher reported numbers is a difference in definitions of sexual assault and rape. Also the CDC study is of all adults and measure life time prevelence. The AAU is of college students. There are a lot of claims being made. It helps to be specific.

"Correct stat" is a different measurement. They are two different things.

Hoffman references the CDC study directly. The one you link to is a different statistic. Slightly different context.

Okay. I am a statistician who deals with health statistics. While I like Factual Feminist, her claims are fairly weak. From my review of the data, the Lifetime 1 in 5 statistics is mostly correct. Low response rates are not an indicator of poor data quality. Multiple non-response studies demonstrate this. "Poor constructed telephone" described in the report is a dual frame random digit dialed landline/cellphone sample that the gold standard for representative surveys. Over 18k people were interv…

Umm. They all come in at different times in the morning, but the event ended at the same time. So the metro was more packed leaving than coming in. It seems like you are looking for things to get angry at. All events make trash, trample grass, etc. Why so focus on petty shit like this.

Actually, the metro was so packed yesterday, that was no room for signs. Would have been a cluster fuck if people tried to bring back those larger signs. Also, let's be real here, this is just trash on a street, in a city. This isn't harming the environment, unless the ecosystem is the side walk of trump hotel.

Not sure that is the case here. According to the foot note, it is not reported because the sample size is so low it would produce an unreliable estimate.

You are honestly trying to tell me, being an asshole to people who you disagree with is apart of being an adult? Last time I checked, being an adult was about being the bigger man and having constructive conversations, not getting to pissing matches. Look at it this way, if you are more informed and in the "right", why can't you convey it in a way they can understand.

Ah, the old "OP's a neckbeard gambit". Nice. Get the fuck out of here with that shit. Exactly my point :D, slinging shit doesn't gain anyone anything. Maybe being condescending isn't productive even when it is deserved????

Did he though? I read it as OP was being an condescending to the OC, then combative to the mods to the point where he asked to be banned. That will get you banned where ever you go. I've debated and promoted MRM in similar subs and do just fine. The difference is you have to actually be respectful, rather than going on "euphoric" rants. If OP started with his explanation, rather than snark at the OC, he probably would have been ignored by the mods.

There are places in this world (including the internet) where insulting/condescending dialogue is not welcome. Not everywhere is 4chan. If you can't realize how comment can be interpreted as condescending, maybe you should take a break from the internet for a while. Reassess life. You get a surprising amount of latitude on those subreddits, as along as you are respectful. For example you could have said: "I feel that your usage of the term misandry is inappropriate in this context. In this situa…

Men and women can make their own choices. But that said, I cringe when see guy do the over arm shoulder thing. It feels really archaic and also uncomfortable. I've seen guys put their whole upper body weight on the girl and she looks like she is helping her buddy to a medivac chopper instead of walking to the movie theater.

I think we are keying on the same things. His counter points are embarrassing, but I think it more has to do with him not actually knowing how to respond, rather than not just listening. When watching his debates it is very clear how the other sides was going to respond, but it constantly catches Milo flat footed, at which point Milo starts rambling.

Milo is a terrible debater with an over inflated sense of self-worth. Too in love with himself to realize he actually needs to sit down and practice what he is going to say and think through his argument. He constantly gets tripped up and makes everything he's defending sounds bad.

And telling women they look good without makeup is "male privilege"!? Like, what the fuck does that even mean? It means that your experiences make you blind to the negative experiences of others. Think of the quote "Let them eat cake" (the context being that the peasant are so poor they had no bread to eat, so they told them to just eat cake). In this specific situation it means that you assume that women want or should enjoy unsolicited comments from acquaintances and strangers. In particular s…

Meh, having actually spent a lot of time with women. They really don't wear make up to look attractive to men. Some times they do... But most of time it is for other women and their own self perception.

Oh I certainly believe that is the main part of it. I work in a female dominated office and never once ran into these issues... because we are all adults.

I currently work in an office dominated by women, with women in generally more senior management positions. It is actually a wonderful work environment that is very supportive and we get shit done. Women do not act any differently from what I would expect men to act like in similar role. Our women VP's are smart and assertive, personal drama rarely ever comes into play. Everything you would want in a employee. Really this is not a gender issue. As a HR consultant, I would hazard to guess this CE…

This is a dishonest description of the matter. Note how the statistic uses a count of men instead of a percentage of men in the military? Men will inherently have a larger number since there are more men in the military. While all sexual harassment is bad, it is dishonest to compare this statistic with female statistic. Ratios or Percentages are more appropriate if you are comparing across groups with vastly different sizes.

I don't believe that to be entirely true, while there is an attempt to focus on their accomplishments, they just kinda devolve into useless campaigns like "Ban Bossy", society still very much teaches women their value is their appearance.

I feel like this concept is missing from women's self-esteem campaigns. While the OC frames the fight for value as a male a bad thing, we at least can define our own fate with this strategy and generally it isnt dependent on our genetic lottery. With the way society treats women, they tell them they should love themselves but with no reason to actual do it. A lot of the campaigns are basically "You are valuable..... Because facts?" If we want to improve girl's and women's self-esteem we need to …

The BLS is source for a lot of lovely statistics. I think it is pretty clear that there is a very small wage gap due to wage discrimination. The main driving factor of wage differences is social factors, in particular parenthood, as we still live in a society where women are seen as the primary caretaker. I think we actually have some common ground with feminists here, if we change society's view of men so that they can actually be treated as a qualified parents and we offer family leave for BOT…

STEM academia is still a male dominated field. This study is focus completely on academia.
