<nod> Between you and me it's a disagreement about inherent worth of life vs quality of life, and I can certainly respect that. I wish every conversation could be both sides explaining their own position to the point where, even if there's not agreement, both sides feel understood and understand the other's words too.

I know that if I found out the hood of my clit had been removed without my approval I'd be fucking pissed and be doing skin stretching exercises to try and get back to normal. Ah, but here's a terrifying thought: you probably wouldn't. Much as the attitude of cut-guys-in-denial frustrates me, I can't help but understand it. To accept that this was wrong, you have to accept that your family knowingly subjected you to ritual child abuse. Your family. It's easier for me, as I had an abusive childho…

Not to preach too much, but if I may offer my reasoning for being pro-abortion? Being unwanted, and poverty, both fuck children up. As in, future criminals kinda fucked-up. As a child of abuse, I struggle every day with the mental illness my childhood gave me, as the unwanted son of a sociopathic single mother. When she got pregnant again and later miscarried, I felt a sense of profound relief that that kid would never have to deal with her as a mother. I want every type of birth control, includ…

I don’t feel traumatized or lacking. But I can’t speak for anyone else who is. It's hard to get people to understand that, nothing seems wrong because you have no basis for comparison. There's literally no way for you or me to know what natural sex feels like. It seems weird to me that guys wouldn't be irked by that. We can agree that babies can’t decide, but why should the mother?

I agree that it's fine to do a story on girl suicides. What's not acceptable is when you selectively withhold information about your data to give people a distorted view of reality. Selectivity is alright, but not when the intent and result are dishonest.

Maybe I misheard, but in my mind it's pretty clear. If nothing else, it was definitely implied in the tone, which was full of remorseful urgency when describing the girls' numbers, then an 'oh, and by the way' tone for the single sentence it mentions that the boys' rate rose too. If anyone has the actual broadcast with Rehema Ellis and can confirm or deny, lemme know.

The problem is not the guns. The problem is how Americans see guns. Guns are a magic wand imbued with mythic powers. A gun in the hand of the Good Guys will always stop the Bad Guys. Because there are a terrifying amount of Americans who think reality works on action movie rules.

"writer Chelsea Summers defined modern misandry not as a hatred of men, but as “a seething rage against patriarchal power”" writer Chelsea Summers defined modern antisemitism not as a hatred of Jews, but as “a seething rage against the international Jewish banking conspiracy” Gosh, it sure is easy to rationalize bigotry when you invent a conspiracy theory that casts you as the victim of the people you demonize. Kind of like ALL bigots have ALWAYS done.

What he said was absolutely true. No, it isn't. And I've seen plenty of research from countries that don't normalize circumcision showing so. Also, urine is sterile and it's easy to keep the wound clean for just a few days while it heals. Why take the risk in the first place? Also, urine is only sterile while it's inside the bladder. When it passes outside, it collects bacteria that live in the urethra. I can't believe I have to give an anatomy lesson to a fucking doctor. Otherwise, sorry to hea…

She had me when she was young and didn't know what she was doing. After I was born, the doctor said I should be circumcised. The idea of cutting up her baby boy freaked her out, but he said it was just a routine procedure and harmless, so she agreed, assuming the doctor knew more than her. In reality, she was agreeing to unnecessary surgery, performed on a patient with an untested immune system, in a place that will be exposed to urine and feces.

Well, I've seen video of the screams that come from other babies, so I can only imagine it was like that. Plus there's the realization that I'll never know what natural sex is supposed to feel like. Neither will you. All because some doctor pressured my mom into agreeing to the procedure by lying about it. Knowing that pisses me off too.

How about legalizing possession, but still keeping manufacturing and distribution illegal? Then police resources would be devoted to the people actually committing the acts, and also, pedophiles could report the most brutal stuff without fearing a life sentence themselves.

It's entirely possible. Studies in the Czech republic, Japan and Denmark have shown that, the more types of porn that are legal, the more sex crimes decrease. Almost as if most people are either moral enough (or lazy enough) to prefer fapping in their own home to an image, rather than going out and forcing themselves on another human being. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101130111326.htm

I agree, in the sense that, one of the best responses to someone who tries to fight via name-calling is just to agree with everything they say. They're totally unprepared for it. "You're a misogynist!!" "Yup. Guess I am." They have no idea how to react when someone won't fall for their shaming, so they often throw a really entertaining tantrum. I'm at the point where I pretty much just wanna put down 'misogynist Islamophobe' for my political affiliation.

I happen to have been the victim of many long years of child abuse. It is enough for me to simply heal from that trauma and move on.

To everything I have seen, we already are what you say we ought to be. The negative stigma against us comes from people slandering us. "Men's rights" does not have a negative connotation because of our actions, but because of feminist-run social media and news outlets constructing a vicious strawman of what we are.

Because they do not judge 'true' or 'false' based on whether it's backed up by facts. Something is 'true' when it comes out of the mouth of someone in their group, and 'false' when said by anyone who opposes that group.

I think the people downvoting this maybe haven't had conversations with circumcised men who absolutely will not concede that anything bad happened to them. They parrot all the excuses for the procedure.

I will casually talk about issues such as a Canadian politian stepping asside to make room for women and phrase it as insulting to women, as if they are less than and need to be gifted positions of power. That is a damn good idea. Since people are more steered towards sympathy for women anyway, give it to them. It's usually not hard to find a way in which feminist actions or MRA issues screw women over as well. Even if it's less than how men are screwed, people care more, so use whatever works.

While I'm sure this does happen, I do believe that real, medical transgenderism does show its signs in early childhood. Let's accept the premise for a moment that TG is a birth defect. That, when a developing fetus gets the hormones that determine gendered behavior, it accidentally gets a massive dose of the opposite gender's hormones. So we have a female-structured brain in a male-structured body, for instance. I find it more believable when it's a child of 5-6 claiming it, because as soon as w…

Because if the statistics reflected by feminists were true, then literally every time you turned on the news you would be hearing about new cases of campus rape. Personally, I watch the news every night, local and national, and it's extremely rare.

Part of why I'm kind of glad it didn't make it to film. When they showed an early draft to the Pixar team, they said, "I can't feel any hope for this city. I just want it all brought down." And the finished film does better at creating a hopeful feeling that we can change things. There is a fine line of telling the truth so bluntly that the audience just feels overwhelmed and wants to go hide from it. But now the deleted scenes are online, so we get the best of both worlds!

I have the same theory about the original draft of Zootopia. While I do think the finished film is better, because it's more accessible and empathetic to all sides (therefore increasing the chances that the message might do more than just preach to the choir) the original story is interesting. The main character would have been Nick the fox, living in a world dominated by prey.

Because simple-minded people think in binary. Things are in terms of 'all' or 'nothing'. So if you want to give more care to one group, on a gut level, that translates to them as taking away from a finite resource. It's noose-contemplatingly infuriating getting in arguments with people like this.

Likely both. I have definitely read things suggesting that men didn't believe women orgasmed, or couldn't process that whatever was happening couldn't be the same as when a man spooges. Well, would you think a little child could? We thought of them and women interchangeably, pretty much.

Several reasons were already mentioned here, but I think another big one is the long-standing perception that women have no sexual agency. We treat women like children, like angels.

I think there was some crossover to prohibit too-easy comparisons, but in general I think you're right about that. "Not all predators are savage, but some are..." Yes. And I'm so glad this movie had the guts to show that as a bad thing, and that it's still a bad thing even when said by someone with good intentions. It's entirely possible to cause divisiveness n…

"The Warhammer 40K gamers at the table behind him take up the refrain. “Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed!

No disagreement there. They don't give us the choice to not oppose them.

No, men as a class did not make those decisions. Not unless you think men are a hivemind. The WEATLHY as a class made those decisions.

A tribe with more women than men can keep a reproductive rate steadier than the reverse, therefore men are more biologically disposable.

The problem with that data is that it's all adult subjects.

/r/MensRights07/08/15 12:46 AM

Well, in the U.S., it was definitely caused by fear of sex. We started circumcising babies as a way to curb masturbation. It's intended to deaden the glans. This was because turn-of-the century quacks thought masturbation caused insanity, blindness, and all sorts of other horrors. One possible reason that giving baby girls cliterodectomies didn't catch on here is that we used to think women had no sexuality. They were pure, sexless angels. So why would they ever masturbate?

I was just as pissed as anyone here about "Sorry it's a boy", and while watching this, I had a major realization. We got it wrong. There was no sexism here. What happened is that Sarah delivered the line wrong. It's not, 'I'm sorry that your child was born male'. It's, 'Sorry that I was talking on the phone while delivering your kid, here he is.' If it were intended the former way, it'd just be bafflingly out of place, unfunny and sexist. The commercial makes so much more sense with the latter i…

Not necessarily. I believe in patriarchal social structures, but not The Patriarchy. The difference is acknowledging how gender roles balance. Under a patriarchal, traditionalist society, men get heirarchal power, women get sympathy power. Men are treated like disposable workers, women are treated like children to be ever-protected. Patriarchy Theory frames gender roles as black and white, with all the good on one side and all the bad on the other. In reality, both genders enforce traditional ro…

There are people who are so very concerned with rape that they can't tell the difference between real women, photos of women, drawings of women, female video game characters, rape fantasy roleplays, and now sex robots. To them, any action against any of them is exactly the same degree of immorality. Because they have the same emotional reaction to fictional/artificial rape as real rape, both must be punished the same.

This infuriates me, because I hate the stereotype that men are perpetually-consenting, and if they're not then there's something wrong with them. On the other hand, I absolutely think that seventeen year olds (of both genders) can consent to sex, and a law saying otherwise is puritanical bullshit. Though in this case, I have no idea if the sex was consensual or forced. Pity that in cases like this, the news never asks the "victim" how they felt about it.

Actually, this works out perfectly. Admittedly, i got a bit gung ho there, but that was just rhetoric. I think, like you said, the best move men can make is removing themselves from the equation. If we take the "us vs them" thing literally and argue over every little point, we're still giving them attention. There's nothing that speaks louder than just walking away. This is why I think MGTOW has so much potential. We don't have to do anything to screw them over, because doing nothing will screw …

Maybe this is a distinction between corporations specifically and business in general, but I disagree with everything you just said. In the same way that I think competition benefits consumers, I want both government and business to have a balanced amount of power. I want both of them strong enough to consistently oppose each other, so that neither ends up overpowered and free to fuck over everything else in their path.

Only since women have, relatively recently, broken away from their traditional biological role and become breadwinners themselves have they begun to feel (wrongfully) men are obsolete. I don't disagree with that. But my position is that we, as men, need to do the same thing. They call us obsolete? Let's treat them the same way. Women broke away from traditional roles, and now they're getting everything they want. Why? Because men are still shackled to theirs. We're still protecting and providing…

I want the best for MGTOW, because I think it's a movement whose time has come and is on track to really shake things up. The lies are crumbling, and we're positioned to smash them even harder.

That sounds pretty close to my position. I am definitely a cheerleader for capitalism, but I also understand that corporations are amoral superorganisms with an instinct only for profit.

It isn't a coincidence that MGTOW and anti-government sentiments are linked though. Certainly. I can totally understand most anti-state arguments, and usually my disagreement is based on 'I think this would be a better strategy for the same goal' and such.

I guess that's the problem. Knowing her, she probably did say that mockingly.

That's a fair comparison, but I think the difference is, the law allows women to screw over men much more often and in many different ways than vice versa.

Institutionalized traditionalism means less choice.

I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all. Obviously, if two people are both suffering, you want to establish who's the bigger priority to help.

Establishing who's more of a victim is definitely not a bad thing in and of itself, but it does have incredible potential to ruin conversations by turning them into endless bickering o…

I don't think it's overly cynical. It lines up with everything I've learned about gender and evolution. But look at it this way: by being aware of how callously manipulative our genes are on our values of men and women's lives, we can make a choice to disobey those impulses. We're only free to make that choice when someone points out that it exists.

The problem comes when feminists say [X] number of women experience sexual assault, and they frame that in a narrative that renders invisible the [?] number of men who may be experiencing the same thing. I think there's good reason to believe that the feminist narrative of 'rape is a thing a man does to a woman' has probably resulted in a situation where the group that is receiving the most help is still asking for more, while making sure it is denied to the group that needs it the most.

Yes it's not as many as I'd like to see, and yes most of them are getting downvoted, but this is downright progressive for Cracked. I've seen other articles where it was solidly pro-feminism, anti-male. Hell, I've seen them collectively call a six-year-old boy a sex offender.

Our concepts are cultural. O RLY? Then why has every single successful civilization in human history had majority-male soldiers? I am against patriarchy, but we're not going to defeat it by ignoring its biological roots. Saying that gender roles are all cultural is as unscientific as intelligent design. How do you explain the complex social and sexual behavior of animal societies?

If MRAs were grounded in reality they'd see that the only way to bring back the parity of power is to endorse patriarchy, not claim to be above it. As a fan of evolution, I am never going to follow any advice that the only way forward is backwards. We need to adapt or die. Feminism has already started smashing their half of patriarchy, I think we should do the same.

Doesn't surprise me. Men and women tend to be equally complicit in reinforcing their own gender's roles. It reminds me of how the most stubborn defenders of male circumcision tend to be circumcised men. When you've bought into your gender role, it's much easier to throw up roadblocks to people who raise uncomfortable questions, rather than do some introspection and admit you've been fucked over.

You can disagree over whether or not a joke is something to get upset over, but no, we are not as bad as radical feminists. Full stop.

Wish I could be more help, but I can say that I definitely used to assume feminism was good. It wasn't crammed down my throat, but I'd heard of it now and then and there was no reason not to believe it. "Okay. Feminism is equality. It helps women. Breast cancer needs funding. Women are more often victims of rape and DV." I forget what started me questioning it, but GirlWritesWhat and Erin Pizzey get the most credit for launching me into research on gender stuff. From there it was a repeating pat…

But perhaps you should read the FAQ in this subreddit. It basically goes against everything you just said. Um... which part? I'll certainly concede that there's been legitimate issues which feminism has addressed, and successes I'm glad they've made, but it doesn't change the fact that since the beginning of the movement they've used threats, shaming and lies to advance their agenda.

It sucks that feminism has turned into such bullshit these days. I hate to burst your bubble, but there was never a time when feminism was 'pure'. It didn't get corrupted along the way, it was a broken theory from the start. Go look up some videos with Erin Pizzey talking about what it was like being opposed by first wave feminists.

You were treated like dogshit by people who are infected with an ideological belief that everyone from outside their group is an oppressor, is wrong, and is offensive in everything they say and do.

Let me make my point again, as clearly as I can, because you're not getting it. This is not about emotional satisfaction. Are you aware of any cases where this rape report form was used to destroy some innocent college guy's life? No? Well, given the climate of fear and persecution on campuses, it's almost guaranteed that it would have happened eventually. Any promises made by the college to the contrary are not to be believed. If what I did helped to fuck up the system to the point where it bec…

Okey-doke, thanks for clarifying. I just see a lot of cases where blame gets put on people who illuminate problems, rather than the people causing them. Like people who draw Muhammad blamed for the violence committed in response to the drawings.

We don't go around pulling fire alarms and stealing calendars, and even if this isn't exactly the same, it's still a dumbass move that I would put in the same category. I wouldn't. For starters, it's not illegal. The two things you mentioned are. Secondly, this was not suppressing free speech or dissent. This was seeing a system which could, and almost certainly would be used to hurt real human beings, and throwing a monkey wrench into it before that could happen. I don't give a damn if our repu…

The ones firing the rockets and mortars? Absolutely. Innocent men in nearby buildings? Nope. How do you know which are which? You, personally, I mean. This report is focusing holistically as well. While the male terrorists screw over other men, women are just getting a raw deal all the way through. ...except for the ones who support what the men do.

No one is brought in on a "rape charge" because of an anonymous accusation through the form. It very, very clearly states that they will simply be "talked to" and that no administrative consequences will be taken. Sure, I believe that. Did you guys also know that the NSA is just there to protect us? It is a gender neutral form, which means that at least it is an effort to give a voice to men! It asks for the gender of the perpetrator, and it allows people to choose women. All this means is that …

Victimhood isn't something bad happening to you, it's something bad happening to you that you didn't deserve. Who's the bigger victim, the guy who loses $1000 at a casino or a guy who gets $20 taken from him during a mugging? Allright, I understand that. So in the context of this discussion, you're saying the men deserved to die, but the women are bigger victims because they didn't deserve to become a widow. That's...

It's basically acting outraged that a report on women's situation in the conflict doesn't focus enough on the men. No, you're misrepresenting it.

This could be seen to imply that rape is just like a force of nature that the rapist has no control over, like a car driving down the road that you can't stop quickly enough. Not quite the same, but most rapes do tend to be committed by sociopaths, who have no normal human conscience. In a way, you have as much chance of being successful at telling a rapist to consider the feelings of others as you would telling a car to please cancel its own forward momentum so as not to hurt pedestrians.

So? If there is any difference, if there is any percentage of men who dislike the results of their circumcision, then the baseline ethical thing to do is to not force circumcision on anyone.

Diminished capacity, due to alcohol or drugs or other factors, is ALREADY a legal defense to crimes. That's why drunk drivers who kill someone get far less jail time than a stone cold murderer.

It's frightening sometimes, how easy it is to frame an issue as if women suffer the most, and people will nod their heads in agreement no matter how much of what they've observed with their own eyes disagrees with it.

Sure; people are opinionated, and if given the opportunity to comment anonymously, a lot of them will tear down others. Sometimes it's rude and childish, sometimes it's well deserved. One thing it's not is inherently sexist. Seriously, practically the defining trait of nerds/geeks/whateveryouwannacall'em is that they nitpick the living hell out of everything. Even things they love! And geek girls think somehow they'll be treated differently!?

My comment there, just in case it doesn't make it through moderation: Today I learned that if you see two people having sex in public, and there is absolutely no indication that the sex is anything but enthusiastically consensual, you should nevertheless go up and ask the woman, "Excuse me, are you being raped?" Because a woman being raped in front of a massive crowd of onlookers certainly has NO responsbility of her own to ask for help. That's asking far too much of her, because obviously women…

This is a good point. Maybe it's just a gender stereotype, maybe not, but men do seem more likely to not understand the concept of 'I don't need you to fix my problem, I just need you to hear me and understand me.' It's not how men think. I seem to be a very dichotomous thinker; anything I am, I'm the extreme opposite just as much. So I've been on both sides of this. There are times when someone's telling me their problems and I can't think of anything but how to solve them. Other times, I'm fru…

I've never been in a fistfight and would likely lose one to an asthmatic, but that video made me want to run at Jackson Katz and hit him with everything I had.

The reason it hits a nerve with people is because rape is a horrible thing to go through, and the last thing a damaged, recovering victim wants to hear is "if you had had the common sense to do this, then you wouldn't be in this horrible position right now", even if it's true. I remember being a kid and times when I'd break something expensive because I hadn't been careful with it. In that moment, I knew I'd screwed up. I knew it was my own fault because I knew I should have been more careful. A…

Just because gender roles may have helped us survive in the past doesn't mean they are the only social structure we should ever allow. Biological/traditional gender roles exist for the purpose of making sure we reproduce a lot. We can choose a new goal now. We have the ability now to find new ways to arrange society that t…

Always have, will continue to. Unless there is evidence of coercion, I say there needs to be some sort of protection for underage "victims" to keep overzealous prosecutors from destroying the lives of their boy/girlfriends.

Yes there's a gender double standard in these cases, but she was barely of age herself. There's a difference between 'child molester' and 'stupid teenagers who think they're in love'.

"Blaming women for the problems of men is thinly veiled misogyny." Feminism isn't a gender, it's an ideology. Just like Muslim isn't a race. And Libertarianism isn't a hair color.

That's one of the hardest things about arguments and debating; acknowledging when an opponent is right. It goes against all our instincts. We don't wanna give them the satisfaction, and we don't want to feel wrong. But I think it's really the only way to have a productive debate; one where both people are doing more than just yelling at a brick wall. Plus, when I see someone willing to concede a point to me in a debate, I respect them a lot more. and I see the same thing happening on the other s…

Fine and while we're at it, I'll go give the first 7 year old I see the keys to a brand new car, a 1040 tax filing form, and the choice to legally change his or her name to whatever they think is most awesome. That would only make sense if your 7 year old has already shown an unmistakable natural aptitude at driving or taxes. Also, Dweezil Zappa decided at five years old that he wanted that name instead of his birth name (Ian), and Frank let him do it. Seems to have worked out okay for him. As o…

Wow. Your first point I don't disagree with at all, but it's irrelevant to what is being discussed. If anything, it helps my argument. Gender is a biological reality far more hard wired than race. I'm not sure how that helps your argument more, but thank you for the acknowledgment. Second, you're comparing birth defects to bring transgendered? Are you actually saying these people are literally defective? Yes, you are. Yes, I am. I believe George Carlin even had a bit about, what is the differenc…

That's a really terrible argument. For one, race and gender are not remotely comparable. Gender existed for millions of years before humanity did. Race has only existed as long as us. Of course gender will have a greater impact on our genes after that many millennia of natural selection. And what's the essential difference between any two races? A bit of coloration? Some variation in facial features? Compare that with the risks a man or woman face in reproduction: a teaspoon of endlessly-refilla…

It amazes me that anyone would be against government subsidized birth control. Think about how much that would cost, compared to the cost of ALLLLL the unwanted children. All their therapy, all their crimes, all their prison sentences. If you're born to parents who don't want you, most of the time you will be raised accordingly, and will treat the world as you have been treated. I think we could prevent a lot of suffering by simply making every type of birth control available free and on demand.…

If, at five years old, your parents had put you in a dress or lipstick (assuming you're a guy), would you have resisted? In other words, did your prepubescent self know that you were cisgendered? If your answer is yes, then explain why you and the girl from Buenos Aires are different.

Mumsnet chief executive Justine Roberts told the Daily Mail: “It’s a shame David Cameron seems wary of calling himself a feminist when all it really means is advocating equal rights.” Right.

I'm thinking over all the Indian male characters I can think of in various films/shows, and I think you have a real point.

From this video that was linked in the article: "More than 95% of sexual assaults are committed by men." At first I was outraged to hear a lie that grotesque. But then I reflected that even people in the mainstream are going to start hearing things like this and come to realize that something is deeply wrong with feminists. Shit quotes like this remind me of the phrase, 'Nothing creates Atheists like having Christians actually read their Bible.'
