"What about the men who have not been tested? How many of those men are NOT the fathers?" Ah... the classic prior probability question. If you didn't study statistics chances are your estimate will be waaaaaay off. The objectively correct answer to this question - the way you phrased it- is slightly greater than 99.99999998%. Specifically it is 99.99999999%. There is a 99.99999999% chance that a man who did not take a paternity test is not the father. The way you calculate it is you begin with t…

Yes. I really don't like being called this. Part of what I don't like about it is that it geometrically means "on the same side", eg: 👍 👎 - this is thumbs in a "trans" position. For transgender people this makes sense; their gender identity is pointing one way and their outward gender expression at birth was pointing the other way. Or alternatively, they had one gender identity before they transitioned and another identity after. 👍 👍- this is thumbs in a "cis" position. For "cisgender" people: s…

Sometimes it's not about what position a political party takes on an issue- it's about where the issue falls as a priority. The left tends to be the party of presenting new ideas and the right tends to be the party of saying "no" to all of them. Byt how many new ideas and which one's will get acted on first? Women's issues always shoot straight to the top of the list, even if they aren't really that consequential. The Democrats' platform is always like: 1) Something new about abortion/birth cont…

Yes, because the male lawmakers are beholden to the female electorate. What is illogical is assuming the gender of the lawmakers matters at all. As far as laws being made before women had the right to vote: this is irrelevant because laws can be repealed and replaced. And it doesn't matter how long the "before" period was.

Women are the majority of the electorate. If most elected leaders are male it is only because women as a group choose to vote that way. Women control the vast majority of consumer spending. If the majority of CEOs and corporate board members are male it is only because of the purchasing choices of female consumers, who are served that way.

I find it quite rude when people do that.

This is actually the correct answer. Depending on which root word you use for Feminism, (The English femininity or the Latin femina) the corresponding male word would be either Masculinism (From English masculinity) or Virtuism (from Latin vir, meaning man as in a male human). I like the ring of Virtuist.

Jogging patterns make it seem like you are "following" other joggers. We're used to transportation that is essentially one way. Passing someone more than one time is rare because it is inefficient. But joggers have to make loops and turn around frequently. The goal is to exhaust yourself. But you don't want to wind up too far away from your house or car when that happens.

Wouldn't these be the exact scenarios where mandatory paternity testing would be in the best interest of the child? If the biological father is unknown paternity testing might reveal who it is. If not, they can just put down "unknown" on the birth certificate, which is what would have happened anyways. If a couple has embraced that a child as "theirs" even though that might not be true... then paternity testing would force them to tell their child the truth rather than lying for their own conven…

This would be an arbitrary allocation that would really only benefit the child by coincidence, in cases where the parents could afford to contribute more towards an education fund but for some reason just aren't.

If the victim is female, genital mutilation actually counts as an act of SA. In addition to whatever other crimes it may qualify as. If the victim is male, genital mutilation does not count as SA unless the perpetrator chooses to use their own genitals, mouth, or anus in the process. I am of the opinion that this amounts to unequal protection under the law. If a law exists that protects genitals, it should protect everyone's genitals.

Fetterman's take here is simply the conservative take. Men don't like it when you phrase things in a way that blames men. It's lame messaging/ victim mentality.

I'm not gaslighting. It has become trendy to stretch the term "privilege", but just because the other side does it doesn't mean we should. A privilege is something the person who has it actually wants. An option that has significant value. Just venting about something that you are struggling with and then saying other people are privileged because they (presumably) don't have that same exact problem is insufficient.

There's an evolutionary explanation for this: For much of human history women who had sex with (or were accused of having sex with) strange men were shunned or killed by their own tribes and husbands. And evolution doesn't reward justice... it rewards traits that lead to survival and reproduction.

Gender bloc voting would be terrible for men. Women are a 50+1% majority of the electorate. Basically, if we were a political party we would lose on every issue and women would get what they want on every issue. The only strategic way for men to vote is by prioritizing some men's rights issues over others and forcing the parties to split. EG party A gives us what we want on our top issue, and what women want on the rest and party B gives us what we want on the rest but not what we want on our to…

Why are you asking us for examples when you are the one making the post? Using the phrase "toxic masculinity" is inherently condemning masculinity by the plain meaning of the words. Of course toxic behavior is problematic, and sometimes people engaging in toxic behavior are male. But why not just call it "toxicity" or "toxic behavior"? Adding "masculinity" is simply making the statement longer for the express purpose of enforcing a gender stereotype. In some cases I think people use "toxic mascu…

Patriarchy is one of those words whose meaning has simply been revised by feminists. Originally it came from the Latin "pater" - meaning father - and it meant a system of government in which control is inherited from father to son. Typically- but not always- this was father to oldest son. So yeah, of course that exists and is common in history. Kings, emperors, chieftains, etc. are all patriarchs. And the gender of the patriarch is male. But that was rule by one specific member of the male gende…

No... raising children is very much about money. Don't get me wrong - the trifling little incidental expenses often brought up to justify "child support" are trivial and nowhere near justify it.

It doesn't say child support will be paid. Unfortunately, it also does not say that the possibility has been dismissed with prejudice. Which should be a no brainer in these sorts of cases.

This is men's rights, not an extremist intactivist board. Circumcision is legal and the American Academy of Pediatrics still advises that the preventative medical benefits outweigh the risks.

Literally none of these activities actually requires spending any money. Also, literally none of them are actually required in order for child support.

It doesn't count but it should. The 14th amendment to the constitution guarantees all individuals equal protection of the law, regardless of sex (gender).

This isn't an AH position it just needs to be phrased very carefully (because men are expected to phrase things in a way that pleases women, even on the men's right sub): Within marriage, it is natural that a husband should be concerned more about paternity control than birth control.

But they are poor because they have more children. So it is causation. At a minimum, this exercise disproves the hypothesis that population control measures would have a positive effect on the environment. It isn't on me to prove the exact opposite true. It is on the people making that claim to provide any evidence at all in support of it.

No, it's not. Carbon emissions correlate negatively with birth rate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita That family in Chad with six children emits at 1% of the global average per capita. The entire family is still only 6% of an average individual worldwide. Meanwhile Taiwan and South Korea are at 240% and 227% per capita in terms of emissions. This isn't cherry picking.

Men did not own land. Landed gentry did. And half of the landed gentry were female. The reason patriarchy (specifically primogeniture) exists is because male lineages are more stable over time than female lineages. Imagine a land in which a bunch of families have roughly equal wealth but are assigned a random inheritance system. One family chooses to hand down their wealth to their oldest son (male primogeniture), some to their oldest daughter (female primogeniture), one to oldest regardless of …

I would not agree with the "intensity differentials" argument. Or rather, if Anderson Cooper were to say he felt it was a very intense and traumatizing experience he should be believed the same as a female victim or a male victim whose experience more closely matches a stereotype. It shouldn't be dictated by the law what types of non-consensual genital touching are intense for the person experiencing them. That being said; if the victim is an adult at the time of the incident it is only fair to …

What's far more dangerous than people believing women are equal to men in hand-to-hand combat is failure to recognize that real life violence in 2025 is not even remotely close to hand-to-hand combat. Given modern weapons/reality, women are absolutely an equal threat. In fact, they are a bit more of a threat because people still perceive violence as requiring (physical) strength.

This again??? AFAIK there are no published statistics on the gender of donated organ recipients. And I've looked into this quite a bit because I'm considering becoming a living altruistic kidney donor - I would be donating to a stranger. Women are slightly more likely to volunteer as donors, however, as others have pointed out there are more organs harvested from deceased men donors due to men dieing in accidents more often. But that says nothing about who is getting them.

I have not heard of this statistic but it would surprise me if it's true.The only organ recipients I have ever known were female. I suppose I've only known one in person - but I've also known a man who could potentially use an organ but opted not to tell his family lest we feel obligated to donate.

Adherence to sperm testing on a regular basis would almost certainly be considered part of the birth control itself. This is how it already works with vasectomies. A vasectomy is not technically complete until the patient has gotten an all clear on two sperm tests performed months after the procedure (which are expensive and the financial responsibility of the patient). This does two things: 1) It effectively shields the provider from "wrongful life" liability because most men don't get the sper…

It could be to do with the male body being more simple to medicate. Male bodies dont have constantly changing biochemical cycles. Im not physiologist but its something to consider.

You don't need to publicly reveal paternity test results to file for divorce. You also don't need the mother's participation for a private test. Get a home test. Cheek swab yourself.

Unless you just mean court-ordered if someone with grounds to ask for one files a motion. In which case I would support that. But this sounds like some sort of bureaucratic system where every dad's paternity is challenged just because. I mean... I suppose in a perfect world the test results would only be given to the dad on the birth certifi…

Yes. I would be against it. Why? Because as a government enforced system paternity testing fails King Solomon's test. in most cases we should be more worried about which man actually wants the kid and not whose DNA it has. Let's say a woman has two potential baby daddies. One volunteers to be a dad and is happy being a dad. The other remains child free and is happy being child free. I fail to see how bringing a DNA test into this situation would benefit anyone. If the kid wants to know for genet…

While actually getting drafted is unlikely, there really aren't any exemptions from having to register for selective service when you turn 18 other than having been female at birth. https://www.sss.gov/register/who-needs-to-register/#p4 For all other case: the Selective Service does not have authority to classify men as "fit to serve" or not until after a draft is authorized. So if you have a disability that would disqualify you from military service, you are still required to register. Even if …

Forced-to-penetrate is still a very biased definition, IMHO. Penetration is a boundary set with the intention of protecting female genitals.

A male victim could be fully castrated and it wouldn't count. Why not just make the definition any unwanted contact with the victim's genitals? When the victim i…

Half true: The selective service system is a federal agency whereas you register to vote with your state.

The better part to put into quotes here, IMHO, is men who "buy" sex. As though streetwalkers are just trying to have a consensual, casual hookup with no strings attached and men are demanding to be charged for it.

Generally not good for the millions of men you are falsely accusing since 98% of abortions do NOT involve rape and every state that has abortion restrictions permits at least Plan B for cases of rape so - at least in theory- there should never be even a single case in which a rape victim has to keep it.

Because the men running things aren't running things for the benefit of other men. They are running things for their own benefit, only, and the benefit of whatever subset of men they are allied with. Sometimes the benefit of their wife, daughters, etc. And it's always been that way. There has never been a powerful male collectivist union like feminism.

I mean, it is sexist - and blatantly sexist, at that- if you think that rape avoidance advice is something that only needs to be offered to women because only women are victims and only men are perps (in your head). Or if your idea of how to cut the risk of rape is to treat strange men differently than strange women. Again, blatantly sexist. Unfortunately, these are the two points that both the author and the people the author is criticizing seem to agree on.

It was the 13th amendment to the constitution.

Except it's not the same because only one of your three quotes has the word "all" in it. There's a big difference between negatively generalizing an entire gender and simply acknowledging the existence of subsets of women who are problematic. In fact, insisting on using "people" instead of "women" when the group you are criticizing is exclusively or predominantly female is a form of sexism, because it is often done for the sake of preserving a stereotype.

Yes, psychiatrists are on the fence about whether or not it is possible to diagnose any specific person as being a "sex addict" or "porn addict" as a formal diagnosis. But that does not mean that clinical treatment for sex addiction/ compulsive sexual behavior/Out-of-control porn use/ hypersexual disorder/ whatever-you-want-to-call-it is not available.

Yo, this! I've been saying this forever and even on men's rights boards it's whoosh! for most people. Laws define sex as penetration no matter how slight of the vagina,mouth, or anus. Touching a man's penis should count, too. Because if you think about it, it's the same thing as slightly penetrating a vagina only the victim is a different gender. Either make this change (and find out how many female rapists there really are) or men and transwomen aren't receiving equal protection. We should hang…

Conservatives have always been misandristic - or at least, as misandristic as they are misogynistic- because traditional gender roles evolved from oversimplification and collective pragmatism, rather than gender-based identity politics. And conservatism's goal is to preserve tradition rather than advance any group. Feminism IS rooted in gender-based identity politics. They are opposed to misogyny and promote misandry because advancing women was and still is the goal.

Dictionary definition is pretty good here. It's not complicated. If something is sexist against women it's misogyny. If something is sexist against men it's misandry. Of course both exist. Of course both are irrational.

Yes! This was my first thought when I heard this story because the bystander effect has been known for a long time. People in crowds simply don't help because they figure someone else will. Although, that's not really how it works; it's more like people in groups do what everyone else is doing. And if nobody else is helping that makes not helping the default response. So, good for you being the first to lend a hand. It often triggers others to get involved.

This one is literally the way laws are written.

Anger is an unmet need for accountability. It stems from any other emotion simply left unaddressed for too long. The person experiencing anger can make themselves accountable- they can figure out how to take care of their own problem themselves. Or they can attempt to project accountability onto others. This is a universal truth. Consider it the next time you feel angry.

I've made this point before, but I'll make it again: if sex crimes are not perfectly equal, then it should be viewed as a problem in the definition of the crime. We know it takes two to tango, we know the law should provide equal protection. So why shouldn't we look for a definition where women are guilty as often as men?

Drafting women isn't the same as making women draft eligible. Draft eligible is literally just filling out a card. We make mentally challenged quadriplegic boys fill out a draft card. If we ever actually draft them they just get declared unfit to serve.

Kinda. The disconnect here is you are confusing the draft with conscription. Conscription is what happens when a war breaks out and there aren't enough soldiers to fight it. The draft is just planning ahead so that we have an organized system for conscription. And one of the benefits of having the draft is that it forces people to think about conscription before starting wars. And if the majority of voters were draft eligible, I doubt we would ever start a war again.

That part isn't batshit. Sexual assault is just another term for rape. A lot of places no longer use the term "rape" in formal criminal statutes because they have replaced it with "sexual assault". It sounds like "sexual harassment" and "sexual battery", both of which are terms for lesser crimes, but "sexual assault" refers to rape.

This is Edinburgh, Scotland? Unfortunately, the UK has terrible laws when it comes to male sex crime victims.

Furthermore, there are really two different questions to be answered here; why the separation occur, and why are women more likely to actually file court documents to kick off the formal divorce proceedings. In other words, there is the decision to announce to your partner that you are through and moving ou…

Well, as I said before, I've always kinda wanted to experience "victim blaming". Nobody has ever responded to my rape story by giving me well intentioned but clueless advice. So if that's what you are trying to do here, thank you! What you said didn't sound harsh to me. Quite frankly most of it just sounded a bit silly and impractical. First, the idea that people who are triggered by someone else's offensive language should just not "engage" obvoously wouldn't work. Because you don't know when s…

Sounds to me like you are the one who is confused here. All of your examples are technically irony. Look, I know there's a lot of debate online over the difference between "irony" and "sarcasm". Sometimes "satire" gets thrown in as well.

That isn't a difference in the way that someone throws. Please don't engage in intentional point-missing. When someone says "you throw like a girl" as an insult it is not meant literally.

I'm not sure that question would have even made sense to an ancient person. Remember, these were the laws before "rape" was even invented as a concept. The crime was adultery.

I would argue that child support is more indentured servitude than alimony. The possibility of paying alimony is agreed to when you get married. It is a financial contract entered into by two adults of sound mind who should understand what they are getting into. "For richer or poorer til death do us part". Don't say it if you don't mean it.

The source for the statement that members of both genders both commit and are victimized by sex crimes is that we all deserve equal protection under the law.

"micropenis" is an actual medical term for a penis below a certain size. The mental health issue related to feelings of insecurity about penis size is called, I believe, "small penis syndrome".

People often confuse the two, particularly sufferers of "small penis syndrome" since the primary symptom is a completely unfounded believe that one has a micropenis. In much the same way that so…

Yeah, this is important for people to understand; it's not that DNA tests are super inaccurate, it is that the accuracy of the test needs to be looked at with appropriate context. There is a concept in statistics called prior probability. The odds of a test being meaningful depend on not just on how good the test is but also what you knew before the test. This is one such case. The police did not have a suspect and order that suspect to take a DNA test- they searched a DNA database to find a sus…

You know what? I'll take the flip side of this. We should be able to tolerate individuals who have a grudge against the opposite sex. It makes sense that some people would feel that way - they've been rejected or abused and it hurts. The problem is the empathy gap. If that person is male they are now an incel to be despised and silenced and if they are female we act like it's a logical position to be celebrated. Really, the response to both should be empathy but not agreement.

Are you using "birth control" to mean "contraception"? Because what you are literally saying is that nobody uses abortion to prevent unwanted childbirth.

In the US, the 14th amendment grants every citizen equal protection of the law. However, sexual assault/ rape laws, as currently defined, provide people with female genitalia protections that citizens with male genitalia don't receive. Specifically, they provide direct protections from genital harm and de facto protection from unwanted pregnancy and parenthood. In some (but not all) places, attempts have been made to make these historically male punitive laws gender neutral by using gender neutr…

The biological mother would/ should not have any responsibility to care for the child, beyond the responsibility she chooses to assume. Assuming a woman chooses to carry a pregnancy to birth, if she wants to walk away at that point I think she should have the right to do so. Same as a man - that's automatic because a woman is a man.

Usually, it's men shouldn't have sex if they aren't prepared to enter parenthood Nah, saying men should have a choice about sex implies female-on-male rape should be criminalized and those laws enforced.

All definitions of rape are one-sided. It was literally defined as having a male-perpetrator and female victim. Not because of any difference or even perceived difference in the relative abilities of males and females to force someone of the opposite gender into sex. Because the intention of the law was and still mostly is to protect women only. To protect female anatomy only.

One thing that compounds this particular double standard is that a lot of female-specific fetishes simply aren't classified as "sexual content" at all.

The traditional definition of rape was "the unlawful carnal knowledge of a female by a male." This was true basically everywhere up to the 1970s or so. Going back even further in history (to biblical times) "rape" was not a crime. It originated as a defense for women who were charged with adultery. Which was punishable by death. Men charged with adultery had no equivalent defense. They were just killed. When MRAs started pushing for laws to be changed to recognize male victims in the 1970s they …
