I agree with most of your post... except that I can think of plenty of reasons to criticize feministing.com. You might try over at the FeMRADebates or masculism subs if you're looking for less hostility to feminism.

There are numerous studies on the sentencing disparity for men, and for minorities. Such factors tend to compound each other rather than simply add. Here's a report focusing on all aspects http://people.terry.uga.edu/mustard/sentencing.pdf Race alone: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1985377 Gender alone: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2144002 A blog post on male victims of violence in general, with a couple study links. http://freethoughtblogs.com/hetpat/20…

http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/nisvs/summary_reports.html The NISVS was performed in 2010 and 2011 and is the primary source of made to penetrate statistics from the CDC. As far I know it was only done those two years, in replacement of an older different study, and has always included made to penetrate.

She admitted misandry is real. She can be angry if she likes (I don't have a problem with angry masclunists either). I only really disagree with her assessment of your assessment. It's a bit one-sided but valid critique of feminism. Frustrating? Sure. Worthy of hate? Seems a bit much.

I'd actually really like to see that. I think it's important to call out the good and the bad for attention. Most of what is labeled feminism is increasingly inert so it makes sense to focus on the important things. Frankly there is a very small pool of sources I don't find absurdly biased toward one side or other and would love more balanced information and common ground.

This is due to the fact that men are overwhelmingly more likely to experience violence. http://www.inside-man.co.uk/2014/11/14/yes-we-do-need-to-speak-about-male-violence/ Several White Ribbon groups (Canada and Australia in particular) attempt to minimize domestic violence against males by using this apples to oranges comparison and not addressing the large portion of domestic violence victims who are male.

I can't nail down it accounting for ALL factors but it got what you listed as the big one, and what I would also expect to be the largest non-discrimination factor: The gender pay gap is largest among married parents with a minor child in the home.

Ren'py is better. Python rules. Visual novel/choose-you-own-adventure programs can be real games (see old text games) or they can be what they call kinetic novels that are basically moving comics. All of which is cool but Ren'py lets you use a simple streamlined script for dialogue which can be built around in Python. There's a plug-in that adds RPG tile based combat for example.

I can't because no such studies exist, only some speculation that if certain methodologies were used it might. There are observable differences in the attributes of men and women that account for most of the wage gap. Statistical analysis that includes those variables has produced results that collectively account for between 65.1 and 76.4 percent of a raw gender wage gap of 20.4 percent, and thereby leave an adjusted gender wage gap that is between 4.8 and 7.1 percent. http://www.consad.com/con…

I agree that the questions are ambiguous and could lead to overestimation. However it is not a small sample size. Studies with sizes in the hundreds and low thousands get referenced all the time. "Although NISVS includes over 16,000 respondents, it is not yet large enough to provide estimates that are statistically reliable for all forms of violence experienced in the past 12 months or estimates for every variable for every state."

I actually respected her before this and I don't think it's right that she's facing death threats over this. I also don't think her remarks are okay because of "social context" or the fact she didn't mean them.

The 2% statistic is only supported by two studies. One is very old and poorly conducted, the other lists it as a bottom range for 2%-8%.

This is apparently a common misconception. You don't have to fight back you simply have to refuse. Saying no is enough. A victim may not want to fight back for fear of escalating violence and being hurt badly themselves, especially if the attacker is armed, or may be afraid if they fight back their attacker will attempt to use this against them with law enforcement, among many other possible reasons.

I'm glad to see this, the CDC's lack of reasoning behind this distinction needs to be called out.

Wage gap: Varies by industry, not 23% but somewhere in the 4-9% range. Street Harassment: Sure there are bigger issues and men do receive harassment but the majority of it is directed at women. Gender Bias: Just as men are stereotyped so are women and this affects their perceived worthiness for some jobs and roles. This ties in to the wage gap and hiring discrimination.

You misunderstand the position of many of them. Attacking feminism as a whole is counterproductively broad. Focusing on actual problematic elements like Dialect is an entirely different matter.

It's the idea that only men commit sex crimes, since anti-transgender advocates see transmen as women they don't see them as a sexual threat. See also the comments on TERFs. Is this yet another instance of men's issues don't matter? It's really just another example of a known instance.

Honestly I think Paul Elam is unnecessarily vitriolic and extreme.

Just to be clear, that (1) is a reference to the souce material, this study (http://www.unicef.org/esaro/FGCM_Lo_res.pdf), it is not claiming that the 125 million figure is in reference to clitoridectomy.

It's crap they're explicitly using the data out of context. In truth it depends on the field. 93 would be one of the more justified figures I've heard for an average but it could be anywhere in the 77-125 range depend on the job.

Yes, all (violent?) crime is going down. I do assume the rape of men is also going down. However as the second sentence indicates I suspect it's fallen faster for women. I admit this is the weakest link in my hypothesis since police reporting based-rates seemed to fall at proportionally similar levels. Do you have evidence to support the assertion that the reverse happened with DV? That would be interesting data to have. I've seen studies showing high rates going back a ways but the ones that sh…

Okay I may not agree with you on a lot but that was a pretty good (if slightly biasedly phrased) break down of the data. I started mine before you posted. I do think a drop in the prevalence of rape against women is a part of the explanation for the lifetime/past year difference. Female-focused programs would reduced rape of women much faster than rape of men and the timeline makes sense. Also the 2011 says more or less the same thing as 2010 from what I've seen.

There are two common claims: 1 in 5 lifetime prevalence and 1 in 4 college prevalence. The second one is pretty much false, based on a couple cherry picked studies with questionable methodology, and seems to have faded from usage recently. The first honestly seems likely to be possible but also possibly dropping: Men reporting made to penetrate (not defined as rape for some reason) at slightly higher past year rates than females report rape. Lifetime rape victims are around 19% for women and aro…

"the entire alleged principle of libertarianism namely that it is not simply OK, but a duty to do an individual the "harm" of overruling their freedom if (and only if) they are using that freedom to harm another, as here."

It also includes procedures equally or less invasive than male circumcision. Removal of the clitoris is more or less equivalent to removal of the head of the penis. Removal of the clitoral hood is more or less equivalent to circumcision, nicking it is far less invasive yet illegal in the US. Male circumcision lines up with certain forms of FGM and not others.

1 in 5 as a lifetime rape prevalence statistic seems plausible. In that context I accept such a statistic. It's very different from the more or less fabricated idea that 1 in 4 women will be raped in college. One hypothesis I find very plausible is that both rates of rape and gender asymmetry were higher around 1970 and 1980 than today. This explains the difference between lifetime and yearly rates which also needs doing. http://freethoughtblogs.com/hetpat/2014/09/08/quick-update-on-cdc-sexual-v…

One thing I've noticed is that online and organized feminism is very different from the "feminist on the street" so to speak. In person I meet people who identify as feminists and MRAs and who while feminist find a lot of positions held by many mainstream feminist organizations and writers rather ridiculous. I am optimistic there's a really chance the movement will reform as the absurdity of some feminists becomes apparent to the reasonable ones.

I think the recent backlash helped. The media latched on to some really insane radical MRAs to use as straw men representing the movement. This was effective in getting public attention which in turn lead to people realizing the issue was more complex. Before that the only people likely to have heard of the MRM were MRAs and feminists. Therefore I think the attitude that we needn't try to appeal to public opinion is misguided. Getting the attention was the result of actions by radicals on both s…

I agree with most all of that. The thing is the for most of recent history mainstream feminism has tolerated anti-male extremists. Rather than call them out and discredit them the refrain was always "Not all feminists are like that".

The boy has a firetruck, a toy gun, and a shovel. The girl has doll. The girl gets a firetruck and a shovel.

I never said the property damage wasn't domestic abuse. I'm aware 520 did but I'm clarifying my position.

I read the article. She didn't kill her ex-girlfriend. She was in her ex-girlfriend's car by herself and crashed it through an intersection. The fatality was an unrelated nurse. Not to say she isn't a dangerous violent person, or even not an abuser (if the surviving ex-girlfriend's description of the damage to her apartment is accurate), just that this death wasn't exactly domestic violence.

Some researchers do, plenty of studies are opt in. Random sampling is usually best but you can correct and get general ideas with opt-in. Still the study will be better if you do try and widen and diversify the response pool.

It's a matter of what they are trying to study if you read the end page. They are testing for belief in stereotypes and "male rape is perpetrated mostly by males" is such a stereotype.

I suppose you could argue that's more of a meta analysis of several studies but it makes a good point and shows the wide range in findings. You can find the studies in question and if you have any issues with their methodology please raise them.

The police department involved used polygraphs as part of standard examination. They did not confess to lying, they withdrew accusations. Not wanting to deal with police bureaucracy, realizing the incident did not fit the definition of rape (rather than intentional lying), or not trusting the polygraph administers are both plausible explanations for such withdrawals.
