Are you saying that that is not a valid way to prove a positive? If so, I'd like to know why you think it isn't? Sure, it's a joke, and not a genuine accusation, but if someone can easily do something jokingly, someone else can easily do it maliciously.

You know that you can't change people's minds without talking to them, right? You have to seek them out and engage them with new ideas. That means posting in subs you disagree with.

They have. Supporters just brush false accusations off as the vast minority of cases. One told me "false accusations happen so infrequently that they may as well not exist".

This reminds me of 90210 when a girl accuses a teacher of raping her. He gets into serious trouble, but when it eventually comes out that she was lying, things die down. Then he gets back at her by actually raping her, since no one would believe her now. Sometimes a sick part of me wishes these people could experience something similar just to show them how fucked up their lies are, ruining the lives of men on a whim with no repercussions.

The funny thing is that Greene isn't even completely wrong, which is why post modernism has been adopted so readily by relatively intelligent people. All work done by an individual is "tainted" by that individual's biases and experiences. That is why peer review exists, to challenge ideas that may be inaccurate conclusions. And peer reviews, as shown in this series of pranks, are not an infallible process to weed out truth from fiction. However, what we need to take from this is not that every p…

No, she shouldn't. She is a horrible person, and deserves every year in prison he would have gotten. But if we punish those who admit that they lied, they will stop admitting that they lied. That means more men will suffer for crimes they did not commit. I would rather one hundred false accusers remain free than have one falsely accused man behind bars.

That's because most people left of center are easily swayed by emotional arguments. Most people are, actually. Emotional thinking is not very well criticised in the main stream. That's why we have a bunch of adults who don't understand that "That makes me upset!" is not an argument that should be taken seriously. They don't understand the consequences of taking that argument seriously, because they don't take the time to think for themselves or investigate counter-arguments. It is very rare for …

On average, we just have different instinctual and socialized desires. I don't see the issue with saying that and still giving women the freedom to pursue high powered careers, but apparently feminists think it can only be all one way or all the other. My buddy is about to make partner in a very successful accounting firm, and he runs into this issue all the time. His firm pays women mat leave, but their work is based on clients. If someone takes three months off, they usually lose their clients…

Okay, but then my argument would be does that make their culture wrong?

I'm not traumatized over my circumcision (to my knowledge). However, it was not my choice, and choice is what we're asking for. I'm fine with men and women mutilating their own bodies. I'm not fine with it being done to minors.

I mean, it's mostly a non-issue in North America, where 99% of third wave style feminists are from. Elsewhere, it's a different culture's norms. Doesn't that mean we don't get to choose what is right for them? Or have sjws changed their mind on that?

Most of these people aren't actually dumb. The problem they have is that the SJW community is like a cult. They indoctrinate you, do their best to separate you from dissenting opinions, and teach you to hate everyone who doesn't toe the line. That way, even if you come across someone who disagrees with rational points, you will respond with outrage instead of discussion.

Not to sound like a red pill asshole, but this is just the end result of giving women equal footing in running a society. Women, on average, follow their emotions much more readily than men. That's why the practicality of conservatism has been replaced with the fantasy of globalist communism, and it's also why factual news has been replaced with emotional crack. I'm not saying women should go back to the kitchen, but maybe we need to double down on the importance of factual information.

I just want to point out that being an MRA doesn't mean you have to be a red pill douchebag, it just means you advocate for men's side of the conversation. I would argue that all egalitarians are mras, because we all advocate for human rights, and men's rights are a part of human rights. It's like how I'm also a women's rights advocate, because I'm egalitarian.

I understand why. It's debatable whether or not it's rape if the genders are reversed as well. Just because it's legally considered rape doesn't mean it is publically considered rape. I personally think the maturity difference and power difference are factors that make this kind of relationship something to be avoided, but that is an educated opinion, not a scientific fact. Plenty of men and women would be perfectly happy to have had an illicit relationship with a teacher as a teenager. I think …

Is there a reason all bathrooms can't just be gender neutral? I'm pretty sure we could adapt to that as a society. All of the reasons we are terrified of shared washrooms are really worst case scenarios that would be outlying issues. Just add a privacy wall to create a urinal section and make the stalls a bit more private. It wouldn't be much more convenient for predators than washrooms already are now, and we can deal with that on a case by case basis.

The reality of the male/female dichotomy isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Sure, women get a fairer shake than men do right now, but we're all wage slaves to the wealthy. Notice how profits and production rates have never been higher, but wages at the bottom levels have completely stagnated? That's because those at the top only reinvest what they have to to grow their own potential, they don't care whether or not those at the bottom see rewards for their part in the process.

I think you misread what he said. He's saying what happens when there are more people looking for jobs than there are jobs? Wages decrease because the value of labor goes down, due to the ubiquity of labor.

In my opinion, we should be trying to push the dictionary definition of "racist". Avoiding using the word due to common misuse is just making the issue worse. There's plenty of language used in internet articles that the average person would have to double check the definition of. We don't avoid those words because they aren't politically inflammatory.

Yes, but as most here know, that is because the school systems are designed for women to excel. Not explicitly so, as I don't believe there is much intentional bias in that department. However, men simply don't function as well in what we consider to be a typical learning environment, especially when they are younger. We really need to take boys' desire for activity and practicality into account and design lessons for them as a group. Teaching math and science with practical lessons that activel…

No, but they do share some qualities and can be shown as a distinct group from men based on statistics. It just so happens that women are not as likely to be as smart as men can be. They also are not as likely to be as completely idiotic as men can be. That doesn't mean that women can't be scientists, or that they can't be dumb as dirt. It just means you're going to see more intellectual accomplishments come from men in the long run.

It's because of the idea that you built your life together, and she is owed the lifestyle you lived together even if you were the breadwinner.

I think it's just badly written. They seem to mean that women are working longer hours while men are working shorter hours, not that women are working longer hours overall. Basically, they're saying men are slacking and women are picking it up. I'm not saying they're right about the wage gap, but I think they understand that 34 hrs is shorter than 44 hrs. But who knows, you have to be some kind of idiot to think the wage gap is some sexist oppression.

At the very least it should be some kind of negligent manslaughter, no? The circumstances are so strange that I'd be very surprised if they were following gun safety regulations. Someone must be responsible for an accident like this. But yes, that is my own bias. Unless the gun malfunctioned, someone must have pulled the trigger accidentally. If it was her, and she knew the gun might be loaded, I'd call that manslaughter.

Marriage is simply a tradition used to shackle men to women. It's a remnant of the system where men were sole earners, and women were home makers. That way, the women were taken care of if the man wanted to leave them. There is no benefit to marriage for the primary earner in the relationship, who is usually a man. Therefore, it is anti-men. The ceremonial significance of marriage is socially constructed, the primary purpose of marriage is legally and financially enforced committment. The govern…

The thing about good marriages is that, yeah, they're good. The bad thing about good marriages is that pretty much every marriage is good to start, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten married in the first place. Good marriages also have the tendency of occasionally going bad, and, unfortunately, the government doesn't care why or whose fault it is, they only care that the primary earner balances the scales for the other partner. Women aren't dependents anymore. There is absolutely no reason why t…

Good luck with that. Women are socialized to view marriage as completely necessary. It is almost universally beneficial to them. Even my fiancee, who completely understands and sympathizes with the reasons I didn't want to get married, wouldn't have been happy without marriage. I'm still trying to decide if I'm really okay with getting married.

I'm engaged to my fiancee, but I already told her it's going to be a long engagement. Partially so I can finish sorting myself out career and health wise, and partially so I can wrap my head around the concept of the government putting legal pressure on me to stay in a relationship they should have no part in.

I had this experience in university as well, particularly in the humanities. Female professors graded me more harshly when first meeting me. Then I would lie and let them know I was trans, and my marks would suddenly improve significantly. Male teachers would generally mark me better initially, and little to no change happened if I lied and told them I was trans. The only time this pattern didn't seem to hold was with openly feminist male professors. They seemed to follow the female professor mo…

She's right. Women are women. They have inherent worth, as they are the ones who usually accept or decline mates. Men have no inherent worth. They earn their way towards getting a worthwhile mate. This is true in many, many species' gender dynamics.

I mean, I kind of agree. I think we can all agree tuition is insanely inflated from an enlarged administration that isn't necessary, and just out of pure greed. Many university degrees are also a trap. They don't tell you when you sign up for a sociology degree that you will probably never find a job for your degree.

I would argue it has a lot more to do with the former for most feminists. Even my English teacher believes in the wage gap, and he doesn't benefit in any way from it. He's just a genuinely empathetic guy. Even after I pointed out to him that, if, theoretically, equality of opportunity was achieved, if a woman chooses to be a nurse, and a man chooses to be an engineer, choice will inherently create a gap.

I feel like the victimhood narrative surrounding this issue is overblown. I'm all for banning circumcision, but I think it's a bad idea to be telling men they're a victim for being circumcised. People develop serious social issues when they become aware of the attention they can receive when they come out as a victim. Most circumcised guys wouldn't know the difference without people making it into such a big deal. If they get sucked into the outrage, a lot of them get victim complexs. Their iden…

He's just talking about totalitarianism being common on both sides if you go far enough in either direction. Horseshoe theory. Like the way some radical feminists are getting jobs shut down where women make money off of being pretty, like grid girls. It's not that different from the religious right wanting women to cover up and be modest. They both aim to reduce women's agency by controlling how they're allowed to dress and present themselves to the world.

I disagree. Rehabilitation initiatives are needed for both sides. They likely will be more effective than pure punishment like longer prison sentences.

I want to point out that neither the idea of a malevolent patriarchy nor matriarchy are inherently sexist. Systems of government are generally enacted by those at the top, and/or by majority vote. It's almost never a unanimous vote. You can have a malevolent patriarchy where even the majority of men are not okay with the system, and similarly for a matriarchy. So because you can't blame all men in a malevolent patriarchy inherently, the idea of the system itself can't be sexist towards men. We w…

If you feared for your life, or if you knew the person and were afraid to disappoint them for some reason, etc. But physical resistance should be your last line of defense, and if you choose not to use it, I expect you to do a good job explaining why, because it is also the most obvious sign to the perpetrator that you are not consenting. If you choose not to …

That's because women are not a monolith. They are both weak and strong, sometimes in the same day. The same way men are. That said, women shouldn't have to be protected from loud noises. They should be expected of everything a man is expected of, because, barring some minor differences, we average out to a similar capability in the world. That said, men shouting are more unnerving than women shouting. A shouting woman is almost definitely not a physical threat to me. A shouting man may be.

But if they can keep up the lie that they support gender equality, it's a lot harder to disagree with them. If the average person doesn't know much about feminism beyond the "fact" that they are for gender equality, then the people who disagree with feminism are automatically evil, because who would be against equality? That's where the entirety of the fight with feminism lies, the different ideals of equality. Some people want equality of opportunity. Some people are okay with that, but also wa…

I disagree with what you're implying. I assume you're saying that men are unfairly discriminated against, and that's why we make up more of the jail population. I think that is true to an extent, but I don't think it's the only factor worth talking about. Men are biologically predisposed to be more violent.

They probably are. Parents pass their imperfections off to their kids most of the time. So if you have anything wrong with you, you're probably raising your kid badly in that way. No one is a perfect parent, but unless you are a healthy, active person with a healthy home-work balance, and still have a driven attitude towards personal growth and learning, you're probably doing your child a disservice in some way. Parenting isn't about doing it right. It's about doing it wrong as little as possibl…

If you think those stats are enough to prove an equality movement isn't needed in those countries, you don't know much about what goes on over there. In those regions, systemic oppression of women actually exists. Their governments, religions, and social structures tend to all support the treatment of women as property.

I don't think this is wrong, actually. I'd need to go check stats, but there are valid reasons why men would be evolutionarily geared to be more competitive and less compassionate. But saying that men can't be compassionate because of this is silly. That's like looking at the Google memo and saying women can't code. Just because trends exist unique to a sex, it doesn't mean that all men fall into that trend, or that the trend can't be broken with socialization. For the record, I think the flip s…

I disagree, because not everyone can afford it easily. I think birth control is a necessity, not a privilege. Do you really think people will stop having sex or pay for their own birth control? No, this is just going to lead to more idiots having sex without birth control, and more unwanted pregnancies. Probably more unwanted births too, if abortions aren't covered. As a society, we subsidize the cost of birth control to avoid paying a bigger cost: children that were not planned, had by parents …

The reason is pretty obvious if you follow their reasoning. STEM jobs are mostly comfortable, safe, and pay very well.

Look at the knees in the diagram. There's more space between the thighs at the crotch, which allows for the legs to come together more easily at the knees for women.

Hell yeah man. There are shitty people out there, a lot of the ones on top just happen to be the same color as the majority, and we make an easy scapegoat. I will stand by my brothers and sisters no matter their skin color, we're all human. As long as they don't see Hitler or Trump when they see my white skin, we'll get along.

Let's not pretend that there are no poor white people, though. Part of my childhood was spent in middle class suburbia, but part of it was also spent in a lower class ghetto once my parents split. My Dad didn't really want anything to do with me after the split, so I've only experienced some minor benefits after that point, like the occasional dinner and school supplies. I went to a crappy public school just like most of the poor kids in my area. There was gang violence daily, and we had to be c…

I just call myself a moderate at this point. I was a liberal back before they went fucking insane. Now I just devil's advocate every issue, because there is almost always a good counter argument for anything that comes from the far left or far right.

See, you see those magazines trying to force gender roles. In reality, it's probably more likely that those magazines just sell well as they are, because people read them. If girls didn't like reading about boys and makeup, the magazines would stop being made. You can't sell to an audience that doesn't exist. A parent who buys it for their daughter would notice that she doesn't like it, and stop buying it. Plus, it's not like you can't give a girl a "boy" magazine if that's what she wants. I agr…

We are not her therapist, and her students shouldn't have to fight her belief system and ptsd on top of doing well in the course material. It's justifiably frustrating that anyone reacts this way to MRAs, particularly someone who is responsible for teaching. It's a reminder of just how pervasive the brain washing is, and how fearful people are of us, despite most of us being reasonable people. Simply bringing up some controversial facts has this woman writing dramatic pity party articles. The st…

Also in fairness, Wikipedia articles of any worth have the credible sources listed at the bottom of the page. Wikipedia is great at collating sources for it's readers. While it isn't technically the source, implying that the information found there is usually suspect is not fair to the people that curate the site. You should do your due diligence and dig into the sources used, but Wikipedia is far from a weak place to start when you're looking for more information on a common topic.

If you aren't willing to at least read what someone who disagrees with you says, you close off all discourse. Yeah, sometimes it's batshit. But you can't always know that without hearing the person out.

When there's been fifteen years difference from a bad behavior and what many would consider a karmic payback, it's hard not to feel sorry for her. I'm not familiar with her, but one could guess that who she was fifteen years prior was not who she was recently. I know that I personally consider my past self to be a moron in many respects, both being naive and overly aggressive. It's quite possible that she got over those opinions long ago. Either way, no one deserves to lose a child. Especially n…

Umm, what? There are so many groups that plan out how little white men deserve versus how much women and minorities deserve as compensation for not being white men. Diversity quotas are EVERYWHERE. Also, how are university slots, scholarships, and jobs given to women or minorities over white men, simply because they are white men and "don't need assistance", not squashing white men? Those women and minorities are benefitting from squashing white men. I think the people who intentionally want to …

I don't understand this idea that white men don't experience similar negative treatment to women. Especially in a virtual space. No matter who you are, if you are outspoken online, you've experienced cyber bullying. It's not a gendered issue, even if the bullies use gendered insults. I've been burned so many times online and offline, it just doesn't compute for me that I'm supposed to be untouchable. I'm not untouchable, I'm just not a professional victim, so people like Dunham don't hear me bit…

That's not really fair. I'm not a communist, but the idea, in theory, is completely sound. Human corruption and lack of resources just makes it impractical at the moment. A free market isn't a terrible system either, but there is no such thing. Every market is controlled by the most powerful interests on the field, while the smaller interests may be able to just eek out a comfortable standard of living. Flat earthers and anti vaxxers are just flat out wrong.

Some of our points are extremely hard to disagree with. You just have to avoid the "who has it worse" mindset. Don't tell a feminist how well off women are in the west unless you want to fight. If you just acknowledge their feelings and then share our disadvantages, there's a lot more calm discussion.

Not that I disagree with you, but it's pretty easy to see that the western world isn't so much a democracy as it is an oligarchy masquerading as a democracy. But the ones who lead us lead us not because they are men, but because they are rich and powerful. They just happen to mostly be men, and do not give a shit about their fellow men any more than women.

There's not a lot I can do where I'm at, so I just spread dissenting perspectives about feminist myths and double standards. I've gotten quite a few people to have an "ahah!" moment, where they saw behind the curtain and realized the propaganda machine churning. I basically just come here for sanity, and to keep up on important news. We have our fair share of sjws, and most of us take the piss out of them as readily as we do the feminist variety.

No one is acting like sexism doesn't exist, but a lot of negative behavior is falsely attributed to sexism. High powered careers can be very competitive, and very harsh on the newbies, male or female. I think I speak for most people here when I say that people like the man in your story deserve a smack upside the head. Genuine sexism deserves resistance. Personally, I have a lot of experience with women who cry sexism whenever they experience any kind of hazing, and sussing out whether they're b…

It would save a lot of people some heartache, potentially, and give a great many people a justice boner. Generally I agree that murder is never the answer, but that is assuming that some other kind of justice is dolled out. There was no justice here, only corruption. Dina Mackney is as close to archetypal evil as you can get, and the damned legal system encouraged her. Sometimes vigilante justice is the only way, when all other recourse fails. It's not politically correct, but this woman doesn't…

I think it's pretty rational to want to murder someone who uses the legal system to leave you homeless, jobless, and alone. It shouldn't terrify you to know that evil people inspire the hatred of others. It should give you a little hope that a few people in this world are still sane. Look at how the system of law treated Dina Mackney. Do you think that is at all fair or sane? The people who want to see her dead are closer to justice than the justice system is. That is what should terrify you. As…

Also forgetting that genuinely talented actresses like Meryl Streep (sp?) stick around well past their prime by just being more than good looking. The people who complain about misogyny in Hollywood are the ones who don't actually have enough talent to keep themselves relevant past their physically attractive days. There are plenty of older ladies killing it on screen.

There are plenty of straw man arguments being used on our side of the fence as well. It's much easier to create an argument to disagree with than it is to actually talk to the other side. Most feminists are reasonable if you are patient and calm while talking with them, they are simply misinformed and conditioned by the movement they are a part of. It's the vocal minority that does all the silly crap that the entire movement gets blamed for, and they are the ones making irrational arguments, if …

I kinda feel like this isn't really fair play here. The first world "suffering" many people experience as teens and young adults isn't really comparable to war. Is this just made as a rebuttal to an argument with a tumblrina? I don't think I've ever seen any real person equate teenage growing pains with the suffering of soldiers in war time. There are also a lot of reasons why women are kept out of front line military positions, and this contributes to their lack of similar suffering to what you…

Playing devil's advocate, burger flipping is not often low stress. You have no job security, and you work your ass off. I'd gladly take my specialized job over burger flipping even at the same pay. This argument only holds up if you hate your job and are only doing it for the money, in which case, maybe you are just unlucky in your choices. Secondly, if everyone wanted to be burger flippers, the job would become so competitive that most people would have to find work elsewhere. There are only so…

Yeah, there's only so much optimism you can muster when everyone blames the problems of the world on you and calls you privileged for being a white male, and shit on you when you politely point out that there are legit problems men face. That said, a politician in Canada recently spoke out about men's issues, and it's becoming more and more common place for the average person to point out feminist's double standards.

Why does everyone assume this guy was innocent? She dropped the charges, which is something that happens all the time. Maybe he did rape her, and couldn't handle the guilt, so he took his own life. If she knew she didn't have enough hard evidence, or didn't want the emotional trauma of having to face her rapist at trial, she could have justified dropping the charges so she could move on with her life. We don't know who was guilty. There wasn't any evidence provided to the public, and if you cons…

I've lost so many friends and girlfriends by being too open about my feelings. When my friends realize I'm going through stuff, they're always all "yeah, share the load, get it off your chest." They don't realize that when I open that can of worms, their perception of me changes from a fun guy to the one who has all the problems. No one wants to be around a man who isn't fun. If you drag them down by sharing, even at their request, they won't want to be around you anymore. If you want to share y…

No one ever thinks it will happen to them. I go out on dates, I'm currently with someone, and I hope it lasts. The problem is that this is, at best, government facilitated character assassination. At worst, all it takes is a feminist judge to send you to prison on the word of a woman, even if she flat out told you you were going to have hot sex in a text message. How are men not supposed to be wary of that? They can do literally nothing to prevent this. This judge was so biased that I don't thin…

I live here, and I'm not sure there's much we can do. Making a living wage is increasingly difficult. Casual and part time work are what most people have to settle for. If you take out a massive loan, you can go to school, but if you don't succeed, you are left with the loan and nothing to show for it. It's not so much feminism, in my experience, that is bringing men down in Canada. It's the inability to provide for yourself and a potential family, if you manage to find a woman who isn't cold an…

Let's not pretend there aren't misogynists who fly the men's rights banner. Outspoken ones at that. All kinds identify with the movement, the same as feminism. Just because you or I don't see it all of the time doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you troll the comments of this subreddit you'll find your fair share of mean spirited posters.

I might have gone to see it for just something to do, despite not really liking the trailer. I was never really given a chance to be "unbiased" about the movie, though, because I first heard about the movie through the uproar about misogynists bringing the movie down. Once I saw how blatant of a #gurlpower agenda-pusher it was, that's when I decided I would no longer give it the benefit of the doubt. There are plenty of movies with bad trailers, and there are plenty of movies that are overly cri…
