Considering that you can get fined for using racial epithets in the UK, I'd much rather side on free speech... but it needs to be consistently applied.

Holy shit dude, did someone piss in your corn flakes? That kind of topic does get discussed in here. It's just that when girls are subject to equal treatment, people often go "omg that's so harsh" and then it highlights how much it sucks for boys going through the exact same process, which begins a dialogue on reform. Sure this place turns into a circle jerk often, but it's not heavy handed on the censorship and I think it redeems itself often enough.

Naming gets in the way of rehabilitation and exoneration. Which is why it's so devastating when accused men get their faces and names plastered all over the media. And yeah, I would definitely want my son to be able to look up a woman on a registry to see if she's ever made false rape accusations. There's definitely a public benefit to that. But for a minor who's already serving jail time, I think she's learned a serious life lesson from this already. I just hope this type of justice happened mo…

She's a minor as well, which complicates the whole issue of identifying her. If rehabilitation is possible, that would be preferable. Too bad boys in the US don't get this standard of consideration. Edit: I'm essentially agreeing with the guy who has -20 karma, cut him some slack here.

This is true. I think we can agree though, that lowering fitness requirements doesn't solve anything.

Semantically, simple means "it's not complicated, this is the only important or relevant reason." Which is pretty close to "purely" in my book. Furthermore, he said "They know without a doubt", which does imply "purely". Honestly I'm trying to put forth an argument against double standards for physical fitness but I suppose I didn't communicate it well enough. Good point on the wear and tear, though.

That doesn't mean they could never reach those standards, just that it's harder for them to. That's why I said "given enough training". Biology alone won't stop a woman with sufficiently trained strength from doing her job.
/r/MensRights01/10/15 12:10 PM

It's not purely biology, it's mostly ability. Women are conditioned in our society to never train upper body strength because it's "unfeminine". Given enough training, they could achieve sufficient strength for these job requirements. Which is even more of a reason never to compromise on the fitness standards.

I think in this case it's not really a matter of being PC, but just being genuine about issues. If a gay man is being abused in a relationship and cannot find an appropriate support hotline because those hotlines assume that all men are abusers, that falls under men's issues.

It may be because the emails to that organization are public record by law. Thus, for your own protection, if you wish to make a discrimination complaint without being exposed or doxxed by activist groups or bigots, you cannot write them an email.

Could you expand on making sure agency is placed on the women?

"Educate yourself" will always mean indoctrinate yourself, in the context of a debate. It's also, as you correctly pointed out, a sign that they lack the understanding to explain it. At least my feminist friends will cite sources instead of handwave it off. Keeps the discussion more honest.

Egalitarianism does not imply solving a problem while maintaining a status quo. Actually, in this context, it does. Marx thinks the idea of equality is actually a vehicle for bourgeois class oppression, and something quite different from the communist goal of the abolition of classes...A society that has transcended class antagonisms, therefore, would not be one in which some truly universal interest at last reigns, to which individual interests must be sacrificed. It would instead be a society …

Marxism is at war with the status quo. It incites revolutionary action. That's why it creates class delineations. It makes men the political enemy of feminism because they are beneficiaries of The Patriarchy<sup>TM</sup> . Egalitarianism is about reform, not revolution. I didn't say the two were totally irreconcilable, I'm pointing out where those irreconcilable differences lie. There is much ideological overlap otherwise.

There's a fundamental difference between Marxist Feminism with class struggle against the patriarchy, and egalitarianism that seeksedited to reform the status quo. At the most hardcore level, the two become irreconcilable. That being said, I have no problem with feminists that acknowledge the fact that masculinity is still essential to a culture and that female agency carries the responsibility of their actions.

Again, you underestimate (or outright ignore) the situation of women in their mid to late thirties who have not yet had kids.

You just changed privilege to power here, which is why everyone is pissed at you. I get what you're saying but it's sort of an important semantic distinction. Furthermore, your example ignores racist and sexist epithets and thoughts made in discussions where power or privilege doesn't necessarily apply.

Correlation does not equal causation. More likely it's because being publicly known as a rape victim carries a social stigma (victim blaming, etc etc). If I was a male rape victim, I'd definitely want to keep my identity under wraps.

Men don't report domestic violence because of the fucking Duluth model. Then people point to the disparity of DV reports as proof that most of it is committed by men. Police then assume it's always the man's fault, thus reinforcing the fallacy of the Duluth model. Vicious cycle.

Robinson's conviction in May 2013 for assaulting her roommate would trigger a violation of his parole for a prior sex offense This means that the sex offense, whatever it was, was not the same assault as the one performed on the roommate. Since sex offense is a very broad category, it's impossible to tell what it was without looking at Robinson's criminal record. It could have been rape, or it could have been any other number of things. You're jumping to conclusions.

Why do you call circumcision "genital mutilation?" If it is done correctly, it doesn't "mutilate" a person any more than clipping toenails does. Umm, fuck you, no.

You do also realize that condoms break, yes? And actually, they're quite likely to break if the condom's too small, which as I mentioned with the FDA thing, is also a problem. I'm not legally allowed to import condoms that are big enough for me. Which would come from the UK, ironically. They don't have that problem over there.

Holes in condoms, difficulty in disposal (flushing them is bad for plumbing), general lack of comfort, FDA restrictions on nominal width (big dick problem), etc etc. I hate condoms and I'm glad i have a girlfriend who's good about taking her pill (in fact if she doesn't, she gets terrible cramps) but it'd be nice to have extra protection against a surprise pregnancy until we're ready.

Custody is a big 'if'.

I've heard of it, but I think it's a load of bullshit. I interpret that as a post-modernist attempt to subvert the objective legitimacy of hard sciences in favor of levelling the playing field against soft sciences. Considering just how reliant sociology is upon the field of statistics alone, that attitude seems self-defeating. Since many sociologists still rely upon these 'hard sciences', I don't think most of them would perceive them as relativist/meta social constructs.

Your sentiment echoes the arguments of 'scientists' who once believed that Blacks were, by virtue of their biology, less intelligent and incapable of being civilized in comparison to Whites.

Engaging feminists in a non-confrontational manner and giving a personable face to the MRA is not necessarily a bad thing. I've had a feminist absolutely refuse to believe I was an MRA because I'm not what she expected. The more mindfucks like that with cognitive dissonance, the better.

Blanket statements that include the uninvolved (into an ideology that not all of them subscribe to) are a discredit to your argument because it creates a gaping hole of logic that you could drive a truck through. You're also resorting to personal attacks and putting words in my mouth such as 'never criticise a woman', which means you're seeing things entirely from your lens and are unable to put yourself into the other's shoes.

The problem with the qualifier "Power" is that it's even MORE vague and subjective, is interpreted one-dimensionally when it comes to sex/race/sexual-orientation, and often overlooks contextual situations and environments such as "safe-spaces" where the privilege is flipped because the 'less-powerful group' is actually in control.

Contraceptives themselves, and the legalization of them, do owe a lot to feminist pressure in some countries. Japan took a looooooooong time for them to allow the pill (we're talking like 1990) because of the way their society operated. Catholicism is another factor in other places. I am willing to give credit where credit is due.

So, because the political climate isn't the same as it was 50 years ago, we don't need the Civil Rights Act? Just because we elected a Black president, racism no longer exists? Because businesses no longer pollute the environment to the extent that they used to, we don't need the Environmental Protection Agency? I rest my case, and this thread here.

They're a gold mine... unless they're also excluded from employment for the same economic reasons I listed above. Then they are quickly marginalized and considered "human trash". It is a chicken-and-egg scenario and one that is a very real danger to minorities because it can become a self-fulfilling perception. This sociological perception now becomes economically sound. Tell the French that their Muslim/Algerian population is a gold mine with their disproportionate rate of unemployment and they…

Unfortunately, all it would take to financially support the discriminatory landlord would be like-minded tenants. Take an anti-gay landlord for example. You'd just have a ton of Christian/Mormon families moving in who are "afraid of them gays". For them, that's not an economic liability... that's a goddamn selling point.

Then they'd probably go for Asians next. God knows there's enough of them. (DISCLAIMER: I am Asian.) That is, if it was even possible to account for all the white tenants... who by their very nature are not in a static state and are constantly migrating and looking for new housing. Look, I could do this all day. You are engaging in argumentum ad infinitum which is intellectually dishonest and you are ignoring the possibility that it can be (and has been) profitable to engage in exclusionary busi…

If a landlord's perception is that black tenants carry more economic liability than white tenants, then as long as there is a plentiful supply of economically qualified white tenants, it's not going to matter to them. (Economically.)
/r/MensRights28/05/11 10:37 PM

This is assuming the landlord is purely an economic machination and relies 100% on logic. They're human, just like you and I. And just like any human, landlords can mix up association with causation and make a general determination that "Black people will drive down my property value" and thus ethnically discriminate against them for economic purposes. There is also statistically significant proof that minorities have been discriminated against in terms of getting home loans, despite meeting the…

There are a couple questions raised by Libertarianism that I find extremely thought-provoking, and for that I do appreciate it. It questions certain concepts that we normally take for granted (such as property ownership, the rule of law, the role of government, the necessity of the State, the monopoly on violence and the role of the individual vs. the group) which, if properly debated, helps us to benefit from and understand democracy. I think it can degenerate into a juvenile "It's mine mine mi…

No individual can truly "own" property. The problem with the full-ownership mindset is that you are basically granted the right to conduct business and own property under the jurisdiction of the sovereign territory that you are in. Unless you outright own the country, you will be subject to those laws. "Real estate" is derived from the Spanish "Royal" (Real) which means that owning Real Estate is really more like a privilege granted by the Crown, which is how the concept of paying property tax c…

If this was /r/Libertarian, then your philosophy would be perfectly be aligned with theirs regarding property rights and you wouldn't be downvoted at all. However, under the current laws that we have, you cannot discriminate based on class, gender, status or any other blanket criteria (disability, sexual identity) that is protected by civil rights laws. You CAN reject someone as a tenant based upon an interview on an INDIVIDUAL basis. Just not a group basis.

As much as I want to say "I told you so" to this mother, I can't. As angry as I am for her not realizing what she's done to her son, I can't.

On the other hand, if a woman actually DID get inspired by the blog to murder a man, it should have been taken down in the first place. What you should do is to post a link to a screencap of the blog in question. That way you avoid the problem of it being erased.

Feminism is actually anti-scientific and anti-objective in the traditional sense that we know them. Basically, if you cannot THINK like a woman, your "science" isn't good enough. "Studies of how biases toward working with “masculine” cognitive styles—for example, toward centralized, hierarchical control models of causation as opposed to “feminine” (contextual, interactive, diffused) models—have impaired scientific understanding." http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/feminism-epistemology/

Maybe I'm jaded, but I pretty much assume the police will detain someone when they're accused of something instead of presuming that they are innocent until proven guilty. Outside of this perspective, I could see how you could be pissed about this but they did verify the evidence properly and they did catch the culprit.

The criminal justice system is supposed to have both punitive and rehabilitative elements. The rehabilitation is perhaps more important than the punishment because simply punishing someone causes them to become labeled as a criminal, and that label will effectively ostracize them from mainstream society and force them to socialize within a criminal subculture. Without a rehabilitative process for reintegration into mainstream society, the criminal subculture grows. Networks form. The degree of d…

Your point about the psychological consequences is true. By the way, your previous commentary's heavy usage of "you should" was kind of patronizing as you were trying to dictate how someone should feel, instead of presenting a case and letting them decide their position based upon the evidence.

Well, it begs a lot of questions: What defines rehabilitation? What risk threshold of recidivism (return to criminality) is permissible? Should there be periodic monitoring for rehabilitated sex offenders as a condition of staying off the list? To be honest, I actually don't know the legal details and language of how a sex offender registry works (or the procedure to get off of it), nor do I know how they may differ in execution and concept between different states, so some of these options may …

False rape accusation is sort of a crime after the act of sex, instead of most sexual offences that are crimes before or during the act of sex. So it's kind of weird. Also, rape causes internal, psychological repercussions as much as false rape accusations cause external, social repercussions. Both are devastating, but in totally different ways. However, women have every right to be afraid of having sex with a man who has raped in the past and has not received rehabilitative therapy. Likewise, m…

Umm, I think what's too bad is that not enough women were taught what your wife was taught about basic reactive behavior. I understand your sentiment, but you wrote it in such a weird fashion that it made it sound like you were advocating for your wife to actually hit you. "It's too bad that women like my wife get taught [the lesson]" is like saying, "It's too bad that my daughter was taught to look both ways before crossing the street." Seriously, that's a WTF.
