Well, I get your point, but that's sort of like saying that racism isn't real racism until you get Emmett Till shit. There are varying degrees of misogyny.

That's mindblowing, that people discount that sort of thing. Words create and destroy empires, start wars, end marriages, but they can't help you get over depression?

To be fair, being the kind of guy that can talk people into paying them for advice like "go tell that girl she's cute" probably means you actually do have the social engineering skills to be qualified to coach people on stuff like that.

Exactly. Basically "really hot people are still people."

I think the point is really that a relationship with a really hot girl is still a relationship. Even if she's hot y'all will still have the same problems, the same ruts, the same struggles as any relationship would. So like, don't assume that someone being super attractive makes the rest of life's problems just skip them.

I mean if you're already sleeping together a lot the seducing part is pretty much done. No reason to string someone along and use them when they've made it clear they want something more serious.

I'd probably just be honest with whoever you're seeing really. There are plenty of people who are fine with a casual-sex-only kind of arrangement, so if you're with someone who expects more and might get hurt, I'd just be straight up with them and move on.

Yeah I think it's all attitude. A random dude who is funny, not an asshole, and seems like he wants everyone to have a good time is a welcome addition to a group of friends out on the bar scene usually. A guy who seems too cool and like he's trying to pick up one of your girl friends just seems like an intruder.

Yeah, honestly, being introverted means I really don't care about going out every night. Not "I feel self-conscious and nervous so I stay home." Just, "I want to stay home sometimes." An attitude sort of takes over communities like this that if you aren't going out all the time working on game, you're failing. Do what makes you happy, man.

How is buying a creepy crawler set and replacing the rubber with edible stuff somehow more practical than just buying a fucking easy bake oven for your son?

Seriously. The idea that girls should be sexually attracted to you solely because you're nice doesn't make sense. If you want girls to be attracted to you, be attractive, in looks and actions. That doesn't mean don't be nice to people, but being nice isn't as seductive as you think it is.

1984 was about the failures of Britain to achieve successful socialist government post WWII. For some reason no one is taught that (hint: because the Cold War spawned tons of anti-socialist bullshit in the American education system.) For some reason everyone in America still regards Churchill as the great English hero of the 20th century, and assumes Britain does too. He was voted out on his ass straight after WWII in favor of socialist politicians. That lasted about 6 years, when he finally cam…

That's because schools teach Orwell's works as anti-socialist propaganda, even though he was quite leftist. For instance, 1984 was a criticism of the shortcomings of the social movements in post WWII Britain, but American schools have taught it religiously to scare kids from communist/socialist/marxist ideas.

"Dare to suck" is some of the best advice I've ever gotten about writing from Maureen Johnson, and it's true for anything. You will be bad. There is no question. Unless you were born a prodigy, you will be bad. Willing to let yourself suck at first is the big hurdle.

"Feminist" is the proper term for women who think that genders should be treated equally and who do not hate men. The notion that feminism intrinsically believes that men are inferior and incorporates misandry is a poisonous myth that echos through this subreddit and does a lot to discredit it.

Yeah, typically mensrights is full of examples of patriarchally enforced traditional gender roles and assumptions that hurt men (false rape accusations, custody trials favoring women etc.), but for some reason it's assumed that it's feminism, and not the patriarchy, that is the cause of these things.

She was trying to walk away from him. If someone is trying to walk away from you during a conversation, it is not your right to grab them to try and stop them, even if it isn't a violent grab.

That's the weirdest thing. On those weird, nostalgia nights when you go through facebook wondering what your old highschool friends have been up to, you look at all of the girls (and popular guys, I guess) that used to intimidate you and realize: these people are just fucking people. And at the time, during high school, they weren't even important people. Or people that had any resources. It's amazing how much we fear other people, for nothing. Not even a rational fear.

BITCH. A she dog, or doggess; the most offensive appellation that can be given to an English woman, even more provoking than that of whore.

A word in itself being sexist doesn't mean that the person who pointed it out is "harmed" by it, nor are they "weak" for doing so.

That is pretty clearly misogynistic. The poster's error was stating boldly that "dick" and other male-centric pejoratives are not sexist towards men, as they clearly are. This doesn't make words like "cunt" and "bitch" not misogynist. Both are clearly used to infer negative things about the recipient of the pejorative based on the implied gender of the insult.

It clearly also matters between whom the term is used, but acting like it isn't misogynistic because you and your girlfriend use it in conversation is acting as if two black men using the word "nigger" in conversation with one another means the word is never racist. "Bitch" is used oftentimes in settings that is not misogynistic, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a misogynistic term (similarly, "dick" and "prick" are misandrist terms too).

You speak as if the alleged victims aren't also being assumed a great degree of guilt without evidence, in this very thread. That's the tricky thing, this isn't a civil case where you sue someone for damages and they're found liable or not. In this case, one of the two parties is probably guilty of a crime, be it sexual assault or false accusation. It is very unlikely that the accused are innocent AND the accusers were mistaken, there is some level of malice here almost unavoidably.

Yeah, that'd be great and all, but you're completely ignoring the reality of that for anyone who is currently in prison under a false accusation with no real hope of being exonerated save for a confession from their accuser.
/r/MensRights26/05/12 06:55 PM

I'm not saying it's ideal, but by aggressively punishing false accusers we will end up with a higher net of innocent people serving their full sentences because their accusers don't want to come forward. You are basically weighing the value of vindictive retribution vs. innocent men's freedom.
/r/MensRights26/05/12 06:36 PM

Because they've already gotten away with their false accusation. If they see someone come forward and "set things right", only to get 10 years in prison, what incentive do they have to come forward?

No, and I realize my statement made it seem as though I was accusing the jury of racism. I'm certainly not (I have no evidence that the jury was racist). I was just pointing out that the accuser being black in no way demonstrates that racism didn't play into this verdict.

Well, clearly deterring false-accusers from confessing will result in more innocent men serving full jail sentences. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why it may be a good thing to have a system that encourages false accusers to tell the truth.

It's not an active "men telling women to do something" thing, but in a male dominated society it is the adjustment of everything in our culture to the view of the straight male. Not really something individuals can actively try and disspell imo, but there nonetheless. Thus the way that women are dressed in ads, movies, shows are typically with the straight man's view in mind.

I don't think the image conveyed that, though I think that view can sometimes be hard to shake if you spend too long in some of the discussions here.

Depends on how fat we're talking. Men and women, once they hit excess of 100 lbs overweight, will probably be discriminated against equally. There is a big difference between how a 50 lb overweight man and a 50 lb overweight woman will be treated, though.

Men of most body types are able to put on muscle without too much struggle (you have to show up, you have to eat sort of well, and you have to avoid injuring yourself). Men that don't get really muscular usually aren't at a completely terrible disadvantage sexually. Men that are a bit chubby, or a bit scrawny, still have a decent shot in the dating world. A fat woman, even one similarly fat to many men who do ok, is in no such luck. For men it is sort of a bonus to be ripped, but okay if you are…

According to his comments it wasn't the department, but a single member in the department.

Calling inappropriate sexist jokes "attacks" is pretty hyperbolic.

I don't really see anything wrong with that sign. It basically points out head on how absurd the accusations are of "women dressing a certain way are basically asking to be raped".

They aren't supposed to actually change a serial rapists mind. It isn't as if a serial rapist would read this and go "Oh man, have I been getting it wrong!"

There are some cases that I understand teachers wanting to know who they're grading. For instance, if you are trying to grade essay's based on a student's improvement, it helps to know how they wrote beforehand. All in all it can be very difficult to set a very objective grading scale for essays. For instance, who gets a higher grade?

I normally try and discourage the facebook posting, but this is a good one. Not too back-patty as MR is wont to do, and a good example of how to point out sexism against men in a social setting without seeming aggressive or rude. Personally, I can't believe the article referred to anyone who imprisoned another human being for 36 hours for sexual gratification as a "nymphomaniac."

The context matters a lot, obviously (even though this is a troll post.) For instance, if a guy is practicing his golf swing and accidentally ricochets a ball off a tree and straight into his testicles, that is hilarious. If someone is trying to hurt him seriously and beats him repeatedly in the groin, that isn't funny. Intention and context, as well as outcome, matters a lot.

They're the only party that has submitted an account of what happened, and all we know about the guy is that he bailed on the dinner without even paying for his own meal (which is a scummy thing to do, period) and then sent insulting text messages to his date afterward (the actual content of these is once again up in the air because he refuses to make any sort of statement.)

Just don't worry about downvotes. People are basically arguing all over this thread that the fact that a woman can revoke consent during sex (which anyone should be able to do, man or woman. You shouldn't have to keep having sex with someone if you don't want to keep having sex with them) means that anyone should be able to reneg on any verbal agreement ever. The argument is awful.

If he made an explicit verbal agreement to pay for everyone's meal, knowing how many people "everyone" would be (like, he knew in advance he was buying 4 meals and not 2) then he is on the hook for it. Verbal commitments are legally binding if provable. Basically, the details that would let us determine whether or not this is justified are missing, and most people are filling in the blank with "these women are no good mooches, how dare they do this to him". tl;dr people are allowing their jimmie…

Wait...is this seriously an incredibly popular comment? Being able to withdraw consent for sex (which you clearly should be able to do) isn't grounds for being able to negate all verbal agreements at the drop of a hat. Sex isn't treated the same as other agreements because it is not the same.

The girl, knowingly accusing these men falsely of rape, should not be seen as a "poor confused girl". She willingly did something incredibly unethical and immoral. That being said, the justice system DID fail here. It is the harsh penalties that false rape accusations carry that make them so dangerous. If these men were allowed to defend themselves and maintain an "innocent until proven guilty" status, this would not be so heart wrenching.

No, and I think this belief is why so many MRA are so angry with the concept of rape culture. You don't contribute to rape culture solely by being a man. That is unreasonable and unfair.

Agreed. A lot of college-aged boys contributing to rape culture unknowingly has a lot to do with the "college" part over age, and the presence of privileges previously not granted (being able to legally drink in bars and doing so, etc.) Honestly, it isn't only college guys that contribute to rape culture either. On the topic of normalizing rape via joking and victim-blaming mindsets etc., women are totally capable of doing that too, and some do.

Well that isn't what I said at all.

This doesn't mean necessarily that you are someone experiencing or exhibiting one-itis. You may have many girls at any given time that you find interesting. Having people of interest in m…

I don't think the majority of feminists think that all men are rapists, and furthermore I think that if you think that you are operating with a cartoonish, hilarious stereotype of what a feminist is instead of much experience with actual feminists. Better?

I think it's an important thing to keep in mind as far as keeping your wits about you/avoiding sketch situations. For instance, most rapes are committed by friends/acquaintances, not strangers. However, keeping your wits about you is a far cry different from assuming that all men are rapists, which is just lunacy.

College I feel is a different world. Money isn't expected because everyone is either poor or a trust fundy.

Obsessing over misandry when there are other issues is one of the many valid reasons why everyone thinks this subreddit is full of morons.

I'm not saying that the reaction wouldn't be different, I'm saying that arguing whether or not sexual abuse gets a "fair" reaction depending on gender is insane.

I feel like a girl with a reasonable amount of self-confidence would balk at the line "You're at least the 8th most interesting girl I have met today." Balk as in tell you to get fucked.

I am a newb (I've read a lot but not on seddit specifically), where can I find these laws?

Does it right. Negs like a motherfucker, confidence out the ass, knows when to close, and doesn't even need to demonstrate higher value because he exudes it.

The first two guys I thought of were Hank Moody and Barney Stinson. You did not disappoint, seddit.

It is when they aren't teacher/student. That is abuse of authority.

I think this is ethically sketchy, but legally this is a ridiculous charge. If she isn't a minor, she isn't a minor. This is legally sound, ethically questionable, and as such disciplinary action should be left to the man's employer.

Or just living a life with confidence, not having to experience fear in social situations.

I don't think this is necessarily 100% true, but I do think the best long term relationships typically have a healthy sexual aspect.

Spend more time. You'll realize that reddit looks a lot smarter than it is, and beyond that, is very predictable.

Again, the deal with blackouts is you don't really remember. Considering he was this drunk, I would say he isn't really in a place to say whether or not he was passed out.

The deal with blackouts is you don't necessarily go unconscious, but still forget everything. All he knows is he drank a shitload and woke up next to a girl who claimed to have sex with him. He has no idea what her level of sobriety was when the sex happened, or what he was doing once he blacked out.

Was the girl not drunk? What if neither party is sober enough to consent to sex?

My question, is if both parties are drunk, who was the rapist?

In the skeptic's defense, all we have as far as evidence is the OP's recollection of a night where he was admittedly so drunk that he blacked out. Now, I'm not saying that he wasn't raped, but I am saying that its really up to the reader to believe it or not. Thus is the nature of unstarred AMAs.

I don't know which is more distressing: how completely baseless your assumptions are or how boring your conclusions are.

You know, something can be slightly inappropriate without it warranting police intervention. It is slightly inappropriate to make out in public, but generally the police are not called. I don't know why you need to make this such a black and white issue, social behavior isn't usually so cut and dry.

atomicparrot isn't 100% wrong here. The woman should not have ranted at him, and certainly shouldn't have struck him, but it does make the general public a little uncomfortable if you engage in sexually heated acts like this in the middle of the street. The woman's reaction was uncalled for, but it wouldn't hurt to be mindful of your surroundings.

How is the right thing to do hitting her back? Just because you could justify more violence under the moniker of self defense doesn't mean that it is the correct action to take. A reaction being justified doesn't mean you should automatically do it.

I agree. I was under the impression that Mens Rights was supposed to document inequalities and clear discrimination. This is just someone crying about their failed relationship.

Dan Savage is just about right about everything. My roommate listens to Savage Lovecast all the time, and Savage always strikes me as dead on.

Once he had already committed to staying with her after their first child, it would be senseless to be miserable with her AND not have sex anymore.

Well, once the cat's out of the bag, you might as well continue to have sex with it.

Sorry, shes at least guilty of perjury for lying to the judge and jury. She should also be guilty of ruining the guys fucking life over nothing.

Considering he was innocent and would have gone away for at least a few years, I don't think its really fitting.

Seriously. When Futurama incorporates it as a joke in a movie, you should know something is up.
