I'm not sure "eye for detail" counts here though. I've got a damn good eye for detail and I'm a bloke. Attention to detail isn't really similar to physical ability or innate social skills. Tabula rasa may not be completely true, but that doesn't mean the exact opposite, skills being neatly apportioned across the two sexes, is either.

Honestly, I don't care if feminists aren't concerned with men's rights. It's the active hostility towards the men's rights movement that frustrates me. They won't help men and they won't let men help themselves.

Activism might be "zero sum", but rights themselves aren't. More rights for me doesn't imply fewer rights for thee. By the way, zero-sum is a game theory term. It refers to a class of game where every gain by one participant is balanced by an equal loss by another. No relation to physics at all. What you're describing is more like opportunity cost.

I don't care if feminists are indifferent to the plight of men. What riles me up is when they claim otherwise. "Feminism helps men too!" but it's not exactly a high priority. Even then I only really care when they try to shut down MRA discussions by claiming that men's rights are feminist "territory". Like only group can work on something at a time.

What you call it doesn't matter, as the context is different. I don't really care how you describe your own experience being a parent. You listed a bunch a roles you have to fill as a parent, which is true. So how about I said you were just a babysitter. Implying that you don't fill any of those other roles. You aren't ever a cook, a nurse, a teacher, a counselor. You're just a babysitter. Calling looking after your kids "babysitting" isn't the real problem. It's the larger issue of people downp…

Parenting is a lot more than just babysitting That's kinda the point here. It's not that looking after your kids isn't babysitting, it's the implication that dads don't do the rest of parenting. I'm a programmer. Describing my work as "writing computer code" is not only reductionist, it's also wrong. The act of writing code is, nowadays, probably about 50% the work I do. The rest is figuring out what to write. Sure, writing code is still a key part, but there's much more to it. In the same way, …

Look at the crime of killing somebody. With some important exceptions, if an action you took resulted in someone's death, we take that very seriously. However not all situations are considered equal. We have different degrees of murder, and different subtypes. Recognizing that "causing a death" is a complex issue. Should a drunk driver that killed somebody be treated the same as an unrepentant serial killer? No, of course not. We actually do this for most crimes. How severe theft is punished is …

There's a balance. People should know their rights though, since that's what matters here. As far as I know, your right to silence can be invoked at any time, so you're allowed to just shut up if you decide you've answered enough questions.

The plea deal is a win for the prosecution. It's rough, but every conviction is a win to them. They will take plea deals for lesser sentances then risk losing this case. Slightly off-topic, but I was thinking about this the other day. Chances are you should probably not ever take a plea deal. By definition, being presented with one implies that the police/court don't think they'll win in court.

While the application of this new rule may be biased (hard to tell, this site doesn't exactly seem unbiased itself), the fact that one of the affected subreddits is "WhitesAreCriminals" suggests that the rule isn't some cover for an anti-right-wing conspiracy.

James Damore's memo has been frustratingly misinterpreted. The main point of the memo was actually that there was a culture that made it difficult for people to speak out against diversity initiatives they disagreed with. Something quickly proved by the response the memo received. The secondary point was that initiatives that prioritized equal gender ratios were inherently misguided as the science suggests that women are naturally biased against, and men biased towards, the bulk of tech jobs.

In reality military men are preyed upon relentlessly. I saw an imgur album that was a Facebook comment thread about a woman trying to trick a Marine into getting her pregnant.

I don't think publicly labeling somebody as a rapist is a good idea anyway. If you want to protect students, then just have a poster that says to call campus security if you see this person. That way there's no specific crime (or any crime, maybe they're a missing person) attached to the face.

It's probably more the language itself, not the acts. If it were legitimate, then she'd still be able to describe things. It'll be the language used to describe things instead.

My second hand experience from my girlfriend is that most women don't make good managers. Especially when the team is predominantly female. I've met plenty of other women that say that they don't enjoy working in predominantly-female teams for basically the reasons described in the article. My take on it is that the best is a mix, men and women work differently and being just one or the other is suboptimal. Though I think male-only teams work better than female-only teams.

Well I guess there's 3 cases (well 4, but one isn't relevant), danger only to themselves, danger to themselves and others and danger only to others. In my experience that's also in decreasing order of commonality. I know, or know of, more people that are only a danger to themselves than are a danger to themselves and others than are only a danger to others. I think I combined the first two groups without realizing it before.

So basically... Primaries are pointless. At least as a democratic process. Assuming I understand it correctly, it's possible for the party to select one candidate over another even if every voter voted for the latter candidate. Sure, that'd be political suicide, but the fact that it's possible is worrying. The more I learn about US politics, the more I realise it's not so much a question of how is the US government so dysfunctional and more how has managed to be functional at all.

I'm super-confused now.

It's silly to suggest that societal behaviors aren't affected by genetics. We see social behavior in many animals and the ones most like us also have the most recognizable social structures.

The term your looking for is "negative selection pressure". Unless traits are a disadvantage, they won't dissappear. This is why there aren't many blondes in Africa and why red heads exist at all.

There's also no reason why massively overweight people couldn't have deployment delayed slightly.

Which is how it should be honestly. The law, while clearly flawed in other ways, is perfectly correct in specifying that A needs to lack reasonable belief that B consents. The inverse of that is then if A believes B to be consenting, it's not rape. The complexity is, as you say, establishing what a reasonable person would consider consent or lack thereof. But that's what we have courts for. If it was simple and easy, you could just read the law book and tick the boxes.

I don't understand why they feel the need to go overboard with this. To start with, we already have laws concerning consent. They aren't rape laws, they're just general consent laws. If you don't feel you can say no (and a reasonable person would agree) then that's not consent. If you lack the mental faculties, temporarily or otherwise, to understand what you're agreeing to, that's not consent. If you are physically unable to signal disagreement, that's not consent.

The legal standard is what it is for a damn good reason- and ppl need to make these reports right away... Or at least realize that reporting it later (or not at all) is on them. If you are the victim of a violent crime, any violent crime, one of the first things you should do is talk to the police. Ideally, you shouldn't talk to anybody about anything until you've done that, but that's not just wishful thinking. Dont think about whether or not it will help. Don't think about asking for advice fr…

It's not about teaching rape law, it's about the fact that personal feelings apparently trump all. I'm going to say some stuff that seems really inappropriate, bear with me. I don't care if you've been raped. I don't care if you've been abused. I don't care if you watched someone get murdered. I don't care. Your feelings are just that, yours. I am not obliged at all to cater to your feelings. I am not responsible for your mental health or psychological stability. Now, by that same token, you are…

Exactly. It's something both sides should keep in mind. The "always the believe the victim" side should realise that skepticism isn't an implicit accusation of lying. The opposition to that should remember that just because the story doesn't add up, doesn't mean the person was lying.

A quick reminder that there is a subtle, but important difference, between not telling the truth and lying. It is perfectly possible that the entire story is fiction, yet Jackie believes every word of it. Memories are incredibly malleable. They can and will change as time goes on. The biggest mistake made was not going straight to the police with her report. Immediately after the event is the best time because you haven't had a chance to poke and prod at the memory. This applies to everyone: if …

It's amazing that the opinion of RAINN, a group dedicated to the prevention of rape, is ignored on this matter. It's not some random blogger or youtuber saying this, it's the official advice from an organisation that specifically wants to prevent rape. They aren't trying to be controversial for attention or trying to troll feminists, this is the opinion they have because they believe it will help prevent rape. But it doesn't fit the narrative. Worse, it might mean that the supporters of "rape cu…

I'm assuming the other positions only had one (or no) candidate, hence why there was no vote for them? Otherwise it's stupid to limit who can vote for any candidate. Personally I don't think there should be a women's rep, they aren't disadvantaged at universities. Same with a men's rep, I'm not sure what a men's rep would bring to the table that can't be handled by other interests. I'm actually surprised at the lack of a disability rep.

I don't have a source, but it could be true. Not because women are inherently better workers, but precisely because they take more time off work. There have been studies showing that time off can dramatically improve worker productivity in some jobs. Enough that it makes it a net gain in worker output.

My sister is 16, so she's starting to go parties and similar where there is alcohol. That's fine, there's nothing wrong with that. However, I made a point of explaining to her and her friend that any drink that leaves your sight is no longer yours. I said it wasn't worth the risk. I informed her of the risk the same way she would have been informed of the risk of leaving her valuables in public. It shouldn't happen, but it does.

Finally, 1 in 6 respondents self reported that they met the conditions for being victims of sexual assault. That is startlingly high. No, 1 in 6 respondents reported having been subject to actions that were interpreted as sexual assault. Often many of the "self-reported victims" don't actually consider themselves victims. And few people consider those actions to be "sexual assault" by themselves. It's easy to imagine "unwanted kissing" being a harrowing experience, but it can also include misrea…

I... Uh? I said it wasn't a blanket thing. I'm very aware it's a spectrum, given that "mentally disabled" covers me as well. I'm fairly sure my girlfriend isn't raping me. I thought I made it fairly obvious that it was for more severe cases.

Well... Yeah? I mean, if somebody is incapable if comprehending what sex is, then they can't consent. It's not going to be a blanket "mental disability" thing. Unless you're suggesting that somebody with the mental development of a five year old is capable of consent.

So what Ms. Watson says doesn't actually completely represent the HeForShe campaign. So to start with, I'm not against this campaign. I'm also not against men helping women. I am against this persistent idea of "trickle-down equality". That by helping women, men will be helped by natural consequence. It's the core of their argument and completely unfounded. This speech gives the impression that the HeForShe movement is about helping women and men, directly. However, if you look at the actual mis…

Eh, I'm not sure if this is as bad as it seems. Sure, this research might be (ab)used to finger men as abusers, but jumping the gun isn't going to help anyone. The idea that men with substance abuse problems and difficult childhoods being correlated with abuse is hardly shocking. There's likely a common cause there. Hysterics isn't going to help.

Not as off-topic as you may think. Many of the similar events have been against men, by women. The article is good overall. I agree with the author's points.

I frequent /r/TiA, and the main mod there has a strict policy of free speech. That isn't to say that things don't get removed, but you have to actually break the rules for that to happen. That is why you can go on and see vile comments at -48 karma and stuff. The point is that, while /r/TiA isn't an ideological sub, it is very resilient to dissent.

I knew I wanted to work with computers since I was 11 and be a programmer since I was 13. People like us aren't rare, but we're certainly not common (at least, the reaction I get when I express my confusion at university students not knowing what they want to do suggests as such. I've heard "well most people aren't like you" a lot). My kids will have the freedom to do what they want. With a coder father and a scientist mother, they'll probably not have much of a choice about being geeks.

To expand a little, the idea of one party gaining meaning the other losing out is not unique to feminism. It's a pretty universal idea. There's a core truth to it too. Everything takes time and effort and that time and effort could be used elsewhere. So they are somewhat correct that the efforts of the MRM "take away" from feminism. However, they miss an important part of the puzzle. See, they're focused on resource distribution, i.e. who has what resources and how much. They're forgetting about…

Hurrah! As I was waiting for the article to load, I actually started thinking about the fact that the figure being wrong isn't even good for women, for mostly the same reasons as we're given in the article. Basically, a gap as big as 23% suggests a big cause. Some large-scale reason like discriminatory wages or hiring practices. If that were true then, as the author states, some corrective legislation enforcing equal pay and hiring practices would be a viable option. Since it isn't true, the mor…

So I don't have kids, but I am in a long-term relationship. My partner tends to get stressed more easily than I do. She channels this into productivity, to the point that she says that she needs to be a little stressed in order to get things done. I, on the other hand, am much more laid back. I rarely get stressed. When I do get stressed it's still fairly minor. The thing is, this works really well.

So if engineering scholarships are to get woman into a male-dominated area, where are the scholarships to encourage men into early childhood education? Why is engineering special anyway, where are the grants to encourage more female miners, oil rig workers and other dangerous jobs?
