Society likes to think that all women who commit crimes have mental problems, because there's no way they could have done the crime otherwise. More hypo-agency/women are wonderful. How are men to respect women as equals when there is institutionalised positive discrimination absolving them of responsibility for their bad actions? This is how sexism breeds.

It's just nice to have these things noticed. I think a lot of guys would be content with some of the sacrifices they make through their traditional gender role, as long as it was appreciated and not 'expected' through a sense of entitlement.

Yeah, a lot of people have noticed this too. There's been a move towards needing to have the 'right' body for men as the culture has changed. Looks and image are becoming as important for men as for women. This has led to a rise of anoerix/bulemia/body dysmorphia in men and boys. Well, that and other issues like emotional neglect (single moms anyone) which are known to contribute to BDD.

Dr Warren Farrell made a push for a council on men and boys. It never got off the ground due to lack of interest from the Obama administration (read: not enough votes to be gained and too much political risk in endangering votes from the women/feminist bloc) If one of the most politically acceptable mens rights advocates can't get the attention of this administration, you might be in for a rough time. That said, Good luck. I really hope you succeed.

There's a fair bit of this in the MRA community. We find a double standard, and sometimes take the nihilistic 'see you poolside' approach to the issue, where we treat 'them' just like they have treated us. For example: Jumping on the feminists when they don't see the problem with a man being 'raped' according to their frivolous definition, rather than using the opportunity to show how their definition is flawed. Conscription would be another one if you take the position of forcing women to sign …

Has the Dailyfail figured out that there's an untapped market of disgruntled men out there? They seem to put out a lot of stories with women screwing men over. Don't get me wrong, its quite refreshing, but I'm wondering if they're deliberately slanting stories to be as outrageous to the MRA community as possible.

That is very sad. I'm no expert, but it takes a lot of time to shape a boys opinions about these things and there's only so much you can do. Seems you reached him anyway. He wouldn't have made the card if he didn't feel gratitude, even if he was embarrassed about showing it.

Some examples of Gender Roles: I always suggest people watch girlwriteswhat's video on hyper and hypo agency. This is part of the source for the 'men can't be raped' meme, because men are seen as being responsible for everything that happens to them. You can also see this in the aftermath of domestic violence or divorce ('What did you do to make your wife do that?') The theatre shooting in the US provides an example. The men were expected to sacrifice their lives for their women. The man who ran…

With the way the school system is now, I would expect at least one suspension during a child's schooling purely by defending themselves (and not starting fights). This would all blow over by the time school finished and the permanent self esteem gained from enforcing their personal boundaries when it counts would be well worth the price.
/r/MensRights17/01/13 02:42 AM

I had this happen to me. My parents and school had a strict no violence policy. I stood up for myself and was suspended despite being subjected to long term bullying. All this turn the other cheek/talk yourself out of it BS got me was low self esteem and weak personal boundaries that I'd been told I wasn't allowed to enforce. It took years of insight and some therapy to get over that. I'll be teaching my kids to not start, but swing away if someone attacks you.

This OP. If you spend too much time hearing about the worst behaviour of women and radfems then you might attribute that behaviour to all women. You'd be doing yourself a disservice and might hamper your ability to form good relationships with them. Just know when to take a step back from this stuff.

For an established relationship this is fine, but stopping to verbalise 'can I touch you now, can I kiss you now?' is ignorant of inter-sexual dynamics. Enthusiastic consent can be gained non-verbally.

All good. As an aside, it's surprising how many people read 'child abuse' and instantly think 'child sexual abuse'. Support groups focus on child sexual abuse disproportionately. While it is perhaps the most insidious form of abuse, it only makes up a small percentage of all child abuse (only 14% according to an Australian report). The cynic in me says its because feminists only like to look at crimes that have male perpetrators.

http://archive.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/pubs/cm09/cm09.pdf Page 64 & 76 Women are responsible for 53.8% of child abuse, men 44.4%. This doesn't just include child sexual abuse (which is where the focus usually is on research and awareness).

We can acknowledge that girls are equally deserving of our support without trivializing or ignoring the fact that the perpetrators of child abuse are most frequently women. How does this statement sound now?

Dailyfail source.. But this: 'I think in this case, the county court judge went further than that because of the level of deceit and the fact that Mr Rodwell’s new wife is too old to give him children, so he has lost his chance of fatherhood.’ He was denied his chance to continue his genetic legacy.

There's no point in our society in assigning resources to combatting female on male rape because it rarely happens /s All we want is proportional resources being devoted to reducing crime where men and boys are the victims. I don't think this is unreasonable.

Celda's already provided a link for America. In Australia however because it is a genderless issue the reporting focus is on the type of househould the child is living in. For instance this data from an Australian government department says the following about Child Abuse in 2010-2011: Female single parent families represented around a third (34%) of the family types that children were residing in at the time of investigation, closely followed by two parent intact families (32%) (Figure 2.4).

Definitely. I suspect men are more prone to social isolation. Girlwriteswhat has mentioned in some of her videos about how men are more likely to be offered help only when they don't need it (and vice versa). But yes, male spaces are important as are acceptable emotional outlets. I don't equate emotional outlet with being weak, any more than you would consider the need to sleep or exercise as being weak. All these activities are undertaken to keep the man in peak condition. I can't believe we've…

Its essentially shaming used to correct behaviour. The problem is that the 'correct' behaviour changes depending on what the shamer wants in the moment. A 'real man' is a man who does whatever the person using the term wants men to do or be to suit their agenda. You can see the relation between this and the 'No True Scotsman' logical fallacy.

Due to the perceived inequity of having a day devoted to honouring males alone, the 'Men's World Day' event was terminated and replaced with a new gender neutral event named 'The World Awards'[3][11] which now permanently includes the honouring and awarding of women. The World Awards continues to be held in Austria and consists of two awards events; the primary event is now the Women's World Awards Emphasis mine.

There's a theory that feminism is based on Marxism. From this point of view, white men are considered the 'bourgeoisie' and opposed to the 'proletariat' in the class struggle. The proletariat is comprised of a myriad of groups that the feminists consider underprivileged (and no threat to the feminists).

Besides the expected victim blaming by the defence lawyer, what is particularly interesting is the Hyper-Agency at work. What happened to that couple was the 'man's fault' for failing to protect his woman. The lawyer was attempting to transfer responsibility onto the boyfriend's shoulders via hyper-agency, thus being able to victim blame while still avoiding the backlash of criticising the female victim's behaviour.

Agreed. Cultural changes take time and you're better off trying to make small gains.

I can't prove intent to murder, but I used it as an example of someone committing violence by proxy being exposed to the same punishment as the proxy themselves.

I've learnt to speak red-pill truths through the voice of a diplomat. Even then you'll find people ignoring or dilluting what you're saying.

I'm a big fan of personal responsibility and do indeed think that people should eventually own their issues, even if they were developed in childhood.

Many game sites have more savoury approaches that don't allude to manipulation. Seduction is essentially manipulation, but so is leadership.

I had the same insecurity with women according to the same programming that made it almost impossible to initiate any form of intimacy. Involuntary celibacy was the result. I largely fixed it through 4 years of PUA training, but I haven't been able to eradicate it entirely. I still get very uncomfortable initiating any sort of intimacy with a new girl due to irrational fear. I don't want to be creepy or rapey. I will never forgive feminists for this programming.

I suspect there's a few things going on here. Mothers are sacred cows and women control 70% of spending.

While I personally gripe about sexual selection sometimes (and how girls have it easier), I think this is all biologically hardwired and beyond the purview of men's rights.

Once I got past that and realised what feminism had done to me, I became an anti-feminist. I will never forgive the movement for how it demonises men and masculinity. I am particularly against indoctrination, shaming and unnecessary medication of boys. This naturally brought me to MRA where I could still be a proponent of egalitarianism in the mo…

Yes, but in the court of public opinion?

I can't deny that cultural indoctrination won't affect who takes what role. That said, I think that the exercise of agency in men is more common because of the chemical makeup of more masculine leaning brains. It's a generalisation and not applicable strictly along gender lines (see lgbt relationships). I don't have any evidence for this and its only a theory of mine. The gender roles of hyper and hypo agency are likely to have a basis in biology or evolutionary psychology. Also, women are more …

Yes, they 'should'. But that's not what happens in the mainstream. It's a gender role that hasn't been seriously challenged and I wonder if that's because both genders prefer traditional 'man pursues' courtship. The PUA's have had marginal success in turning the tables and getting women to pursue (and also strongly advocate for screening women for long term relationships), but I've seen no real acceptance of this in the mainstream. In general even feminists prefer men to be the pursuer (accompan…

Just saw this. It wouldn't be. It was a verbal agreement, not something that could be enforced. Still, its a verbal agreement that's a matter of public record.

Yeah, I agree with you. But a /s looks a lot less clunky than the 'edit: wow...' above.

Redefinition of words and strawmanning of language are common tools in the feminist propoganda toolbox. You can find other examples around like "Sexism is predjudice from a place of privilege. Only men have privilege so only men can be sexist" Then they will quote the end conclusion without stating the premise they've based it on. Be prepared for other feminists to quote '95% of sexual assaults are committed by men' on other sites, citing this crazy as a source. Easy to knock down the house of c…

Nah, it quickly goes to 'The balls in your court' in the majority of cases. They still want to see the guy being proactive.

Can't approve of transgenders changing sex just so they can get all of our privilege. It's the only reason anyone could possibly want to undergo transitioning /s

The feminists and 'male allies' from the SFU Women's Centre explain why the Men's Centre is a bad idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fiMg8N79Us You will laugh or rage. Maybe both. Also, be on the lookout in the video for the Male Feminists thriving in their natural habitat as secure, confident and well balanced individuals proud of their masculinity /s

Yes there is, but while its controversial, its still the 'Well if she divorced him he must have done something to deserve it' meme rather than the 'How dare that pig expect his wife to do THAT'.

Your first paragraph here expresses a nuance I've had difficulty in defining myself without aggravating the other side on this issue. Upvote for you. The pick up artists would define this 'teasing' as Last Minute Resistance. They speculate it can be a combination of teasing, testing intent or non-neediness, or even the girl worrying about appearing to be too promiscuous if she's only known the man for a short time and needing reassurance. Obviously this only applies to the 'slow down' version of…

Typical demonstration of hypo and hyper agency. The mother (a sacred cow) failed in her duty to protect her children. Blame is placed on a man who has done nothing except share proximity. I think its a tragedy, but that man is not responsible for the children's deaths. It does raise moral issues, but rationally he is not at fault.

I always forget text when I submit a link sigh. I know this is just an example of an individual woman and not endemic (unless you count it as one of the legion of 'I'm not haaaaapppppeeeeee' feminism inspired no-fault divorces), but how much uproar would there be if a husband publicly said 'My wife won't do anal so I'm divorcing her'?

Soon Emotional Infertility will become another catch phrase prevalent on Salon and Huffington Post. They've already started to twist it to being men's fault that no-one will marry them. Heaven forbid it would ever be about poor life choices (carousel riding), entitled personalities and the disincentives of modern marriage and families. I think MGTOW in its various forms is becoming more common at a grassroots level. Articles like this are just the canary down the coal mine.

The Australian judge when would only authorise the transfer of the children back to Italy under the Hague convention if the father promised he wouldn't press charges of child abduction against the mother in his home country.

I was about to link to this. :P The mediawatch program in Australia acts as an unoffical 'watchdog' policing bad reporting. In this case it seems one of the reporters was in contact with the mother back in Australia. She would wait outside the compound, ring the mother, who would then ring the daughters on the mobile phone who would run out to the compound perimeter pleading and begging the reporter to take her back to Australia. In other words, the reporter was making the story happen.

Perthite here. Sorry to hear this has happened to you. You've probably seen the Hague convention with the Italian family recently in the media. There is hope.

Also, she doesn't have to. Why would anyone do something that is difficult when they could sit back and have someone do the hard yards for them. Girls in their early 20's don't have as much confidence as older women and they are also the most attactive age group. All men up to the age of 40 or even higher want to get with these girls. Everything works in their favour. The tables turn around the age of 30 as the pool of eligible men has shrunk and the girls have lost some of their looks. They're …

This is the closest I've seen someone describe my perspective. Upvote for you. I hope for a general drawing down of the MRM and Feminists as we get closer to true equality, but I'm not sure if that will happen anytime soon. In the meantime MRA all the way.

I just started my account. I don't agree with violence in relationships or suscribe to the Sean Connery school of argument management, but I can see how different people have a wide range of what they consider acceptable behaviours in disputes. I wouldn't call initiating sex in the middle of an argument rape necessarily. It would depend on context, the personalities of the people involved etc. It would be a minefield and could meet the definition of rape depending on all of these factors. Same w…

You're an example of a point I was about to make. If we in the MRM portray ourselves as victims, we're going to turn off a large swath of potential supporters and potentially discredit the movement. Men want to be seen as fixers overcoming challengers, not victims that need someone else to come in and save them. They wouldn't want to associate with victimhood, but could get behind a group standing up to bullying and stopping the bullshit that they can sense surrounding them in their lives. As vi…

One of the issues I have with the advice as that it advocates that the man show the woman that she has influence over him which would ostensibly provide her with a sense of emotional security. The problem with overdoing this is that it would turn the man into an extension of the woman if he complies with all of her requests. She would then lose respect for him, resent him and feel insecure in the relationship because she thinks she's with a weak man without boundaries who can't protect her. This…

He said 'stand your ground'. Don't strawman this into meaning violence. Everytime I've been in a heated emotional argument with a girlfriend and I've tried to withdraw, she has immediately increased the intensity of the situation to get me to stay. This intensity involves blocking the exit, making verbal attacks or otherwise trying to provoke an emotional response (ostensibly so I could show that I still cared about her). I've defused it by walking up and putting my arms around her for a hug (wh…

Yes indeed. I think that's all GWW was trying to say. It does happen, but its an ugly truth that no-one in PC society, mainstream media, or rad-fems would ever admit to. It doesn't make it right, but pretending to deny it exists doesn't do anyone any favours. Most people wouldn't excuse men for hitting back, but to ignore provocation is unreasonable. The PC solution of 'Man gets hit by girlfriend over drama. Calmly wipes blood off nose, says "I'm leaving", walks out, breaks up with girlfriend an…
