-1	Women have fits because U. of Va. sororities are banned from frat parties this weekend, but the ban is the only logical response to the "rape culture" hysteria I'm not asking him to go into a detailed explanation every time he wants to use the word. But you do have some level of academic responsibility to go a little bit deeper than that. I have no idea what he's really saying the problem is. And I suspect most other readers don't know what his specific point is, either. They may think they do, but the odds that he's actually shared a specific point with others in a reliable and articulable way seems unlikely. Maybe I'm wrong, and I just don't know eno…	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 07:46 PM
-1	Women have fits because U. of Va. sororities are banned from frat parties this weekend, but the ban is the only logical response to the "rape culture" hysteria I was never defending the idea that just teaching men not to rape is the only solution. (Obviously we should teach our children not to rape, but perhaps you're right that there are other things we have to do. In fact, I largely agree!) I'm just saying that the argument used to try to make that point in the article doesn't hold water. That's all! That's why I even started that post by saying "no matter your opinion." This is a much easier discussion here than your making it. It wasn't even meant …	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 07:32 PM
-1	Women have fits because U. of Va. sororities are banned from frat parties this weekend, but the ban is the only logical response to the "rape culture" hysteria All I am saying is that it doesn't make any sense to use the argument about the robbers being unaffected by telling them not to rob. That's a circular argument, clear and simple. If you can't understand why, try my pervious posts for once.	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 04:46 PM
-1	Women have fits because U. of Va. sororities are banned from frat parties this weekend, but the ban is the only logical response to the "rape culture" hysteria When did I claim we that our main policy should just be to "tell men not to rape"? In your first post you simultaneously say that you not only cannot understand what I'm saying, but that I don't know what I'm talking about. (how you knew this without understanding me, I'll leave you to explain) Now your simply ignoring my posts all together and putting words in my mouth. I'll ask again why I am the troll here?	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 04:36 PM

-3	Women have fits because U. of Va. sororities are banned from frat parties this weekend, but the ban is the only logical response to the "rape culture" hysteria Feminism means a billion different things to a billion different people though. There are many feminists who consider the word to mean equality among the sexes. They simply use the word because it evolved out of a time during which - by no question - women were being discriminated against. There are other feminists I'm sure who have different versions of the word, some of them harmful. I'm just pointing out that you're not Tait advancing the discussion in any meaningful way with a post just sayi…	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 03:10 PM
-3	Women have fits because U. of Va. sororities are banned from frat parties this weekend, but the ban is the only logical response to the "rape culture" hysteria I'll take your opinion on my writing into consideration, I hope you take my opinion of your arrogance into consideration as well. There are ways to inform people that you don't like their writing style that are far more kind than that, and should your goal be to change my writing then they are more effective, too. But that's another discussion.. not for here. I'll rephrase my point, as you did succeed at one thing: not talk about it. My point was not to make a critique of rape culture, the news …	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 03:06 PM
-2	Women have fits because U. of Va. sororities are banned from frat parties this weekend, but the ban is the only logical response to the "rape culture" hysteria After all, the sexual grievance industry's approach to stopping rape -- stripping men accused of rape of due process rights and slapping up posters telling men, as a class, not to rape -- hasn't worked any more than telling robbers not to rob would work (that was kind of a no-brainer). No matter your opinion, this is simply terrible logic. It would be like saying anti-murder laws are ineffective because murderers won't listen to them, it's circular and doesn't hold up to actual scrutiny. You can…	/r/MensRights	30/01/15 11:28 AM

6	Welp, I guess TED is a write off. Yeah. TEDx really is a neat concept - decentralize the sharing of knowledge to the greatest extent possible. However, they forgot to stop there, and have given over too much of their credibility into the hands of random hosts. I've been to a few REALLY GOOD TEDx conferences, but I've also been to some really, really shitty ones.	/r/MensRights	29/05/13 09:44 PM
2	The pay gap myth was disproved as early as 1981 Nobody is asking for 4/5/6 times as much money. And nobody is advocating communism, either; at least I'm not. Look, we already pay people more for working based on certain ethical concerns. We collectively provide work for people with disabilities, we help pay for seniors retirement, and we dish out billions of dollars to help pay for child services. Now that last point there, that's the real thing here. I'm not just rushing to the defense of women, but also their families. Having a kid, and all…	/r/MensRights	14/05/13 07:37 PM
1	The pay gap myth was disproved as early as 1981 I'll simplify it all down to this: feminists are making an ethical argument. The point being made is that we don't think there should be an economic disadvantage associated with having a child. Laughing at that an calling it "fantasy land" doesn't actually argue the point. I'm perfectly fine with a portion of my income being taken to ensure that that is the case. If you're not, then actually debate the ethical argument I'm making.	/r/MensRights	14/05/13 04:22 AM
3	The pay gap myth was disproved as early as 1981 It would be the complete opposite of equal if they did less work. I said the incomes were equal, not necessarily the work they put into it. Why do you call it punishment? Because they're earning less pay? What about women who might not necessarily have "chosen" to have a child? Furthermore, you're right, women choose to have children and with that make a choice to work less. The problem society has to face is whether or not we want to live in a society where that choice is one that has to be mad…	/r/MensRights	13/05/13 06:22 PM
3	The pay gap myth was disproved as early as 1981 You're right, we are deciding to pay women an equal income for less work, in essence a more efficient pay scale. And perhaps that is unfair, that's a debate that can and should be had. And in fact, it's one the country is having - how should we economically address the reality that we need to have children for the children to survive, but we don't want to make the economic punishment for having children to be so bad that too few women do it. In fact, we're already seeing the latter start to happ…	/r/MensRights	13/05/13 05:23 PM
1	The pay gap myth was disproved as early as 1981 This is an ethical question, not an economic one. The question is not whether we should enforce this because of discrimination against women, but if we should enforce this because we "should." The argument is that, if you didn't know if you were a man or a women - if you existed under the Rawls veil of ignorance - you would voluntarily choose a society in which women were guaranteed equal pay, even if certain biological factors would otherwise force the markets against this trend. If you want to…	/r/MensRights	13/05/13 05:06 PM
0	The pay gap myth was disproved as early as 1981 Yeah, that's a fair point. I was just pointing out that this doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't some kind of institutional discrimination, merely that it isn't found in how employers pay their employees. I think one could still argue, however, that there is still a wide belief in this country that when you have children the woman should stay home to raise them, not the father. That explains a lot of the difference between "never married" and "single" that he was talking about. The majorit…	/r/MensRights	13/05/13 04:22 PM
6	The pay gap myth was disproved as early as 1981 Hold on... This doesn't mean - and he's not arguing it to mean - that there isn't a pay gap between two sexes. His argument has two parts: Comparing all women to all men is not an equal comparison, so it doesn't make sense to do it. When you compare comparable women to comparable men, under his definitions (which I think are good ones) the difference goes away. The conclusion is that, while there is a pay gap - her numbers are technically correct, it's not because of racism in how people get pai…	/r/MensRights	13/05/13 06:26 AM
