You wanna know when the left overplayed its hand that "patriarchy" was all bullshit? When they asked for Clarence Thomas to recuse himself because of his wife Ginny's outspoken views Now why would this be a concern if Ginny has absolutely positively no power whatsoever over Thomas? Well, shockingly the left had to admit that it believes that soft power could truthfully exist and thus women actually might have power and influence even if they dont possess the actual title. Further... it may even …

Its also a complete coincidence and absolutely an innocent oversight that the same department that spent decades researching the effect of language on bias and bigotry also coined the term "toxic masculinity" because wink wink it totally doesnt mean what you naturally think it means when you first read it; that masculinity is toxic. totally innocent coincidence.

Is it weird to anyone else that every quote includes the race and gender of the person quoted? Like they deliberately included it. It always feels icky to me. Like reminding me thats how democratic leadership sees me first and foremost. How much weight does my race and gender afford me when I speak on issues? Just a quiet reminder that democrats have to put all your thoughts and values through a racist/gender lens and (just like the republicans) some skin colors and genitals have more weight and…

Biological differences and biological determinism aren’t the same thing. yeah pretty much. Biological determinism says genes directly control behavior; acknowledging that pregnancy, breastfeeding, average strength, and hormonal patterns existed in early humans isn’t claiming biology “designed oppression.” Thats exactly what it claims. If one group is stronger and one other group is disabled by a parasite for the bulk of its adult life so that its literally dependent on the former, I mean.... bit…

Noting biological differences isn’t ‘biological determinism,’ and it doesn’t mean women were ‘designed to be oppressed.’ What is it then? You start grouping people based on biological design under an oppressor/oppressed dynamic and I misunderstood you that women were designed to be oppressed? What do you think biological determinism is? heres the definition if you want to try and see how its definitely NOT what you started with: Biological determinism, also known as genetic determinism, is the b…

Patriarchy began with early biological tendencies—such as different reproductive roles, average physical strengths, and hormone-driven behaviors—that shaped how early humans divided responsibilities. Oh ok, so biological determinism. Women cant do shit because of hormones. Really fucking sexist...like we're literally saying, women are oppressed by FUCKING DESIGN....thats like nazi-shit.... but if thats where we're starting lets see where we're going.

My grandmother was racist. She felt unsafe riding in carriages with black people. At one time it was appropriate for black people to ride in seperate carriages or at the back to assuage that fear. Were black people wrong for existing? Or were racists wrong for feeling unsafe around them? It was not that long ago. And here we are again. Women's fears, no matter how bigoted, determining social policy and behavior. Never, EVER, were women's role in perpetuating hatred critically examined or even ca…

Does this study count a woman being forced to perform oral? yes...both are counted as rape. Performing oral on a woman without consent is counted as rape and forcing a woman to perform oral on a man is counted as rape. Or being forced to penetrate with objects? that is also counted as rape by the survey design. If a woman says either of those things happened the survey counts them as rape. But if a man says either of those things happened it would NOT be counted as rape. It would be counted as m…

They should...but if they did that would not yield the results they need. its been that way for at least a decade One of the most influential feminists in the survey design flat out admitted men couldnt be raped so why bother counting it (the source is in the link above...and by source I mean an audio recording of her literally saying that out loud). Imagine! If I had said soemthing like that my career would be over...but she's an endowed chair. Thats what institutional bias looks like.

Compare the male and female for rape vs made to penetrate (definitely not rape): Rape, Completed IF FEMALE: In your LIFETIME, has anyone EVER performed oral sex on you when you did NOT consent to it, and it was not wanted?

heh whats toxic masculinity? Toxic masculinity is when men are expected to devalue their time and ultimately even their lives to benefit women.

Men are generally stronger, bigger and have stronger bone density, I can’t speak to the manager about that same as you can’t about not being the one to carry the baby. It’s nature. Nature isn’t fair. Then men should be paid more and have cheaper health insurance. Except they arent because we are committed to equity. Or are we not?

Not enough rights to curtail her choice, but just enough rights to curtail his. Its a double standard that relies on pro life talking points. If it has rights, ok we're pro-life.

If you consider that the pregnancy is a potential human, it has more rights than none and would always be assumed to be leaning towards a right to exist. Well I mean thats just pro-life 101. The fetus has the right to life. Obviously if she cant abort neither can the man. Sure, I dont agree but it at least its consistent. The potential for pregnancy starts at intercourse.

I was just reading the perfect article for you the other day. Source Basically, they measured grip strength and found that stronger people (men and women) were less fearful and anxious. Since men are normally stronger they experience much less fear and anxiety.

Men’s evolutionary adaptations, such as greater muscle mass, bone density, and bodily structures, adapted to roles of hard physical labour and familial protection. Men's physical qualities have translated into superior athletic abilities in men. Should I interpret the mere possession of these inherent abilities in men as an act of oppression against women?

Vasectomies are irreversible. Aside from that, men have always sought to control their reproduction by controlling women's bodies rather than their own.

Generally, all women of reproductive age have a higher baseline mate value than men of reproductive age If you believe women are more valuable then how do parse that with being oppressed? How do you plan to carry out an increase of male selectivity if men do not drastically increase their merit or resort to the oppression of women? I dont. I just need you to admit women are able to be more selective. More selective is more powerful and therefore can not be more oppressed. Q.E.D.

We have political power we just dont use it for ourselves (in my opinion) which is why neither side is concerned with our issues. edit I honestly jsut butthurt that the democratic candidate is the worst for men, but it is what it is.

The definition of patriarchy is a social system in which men hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership. Since we are primarily concerned with an in-group using power to benefit the in-group at the expense of the out-group why dont we incorporate that into our definition?

I did understand that 40% remains unexplained after accounting for all the factors....what I was hoping was youd show me how that related to Bernie saying 8% I always heard it was 70 cents on the dollar which would be 30% earnings gap but that when you accounted for obvious factors such as hours worked, experience etc it shuffled down to something like 4%.... which might in truthfully be called a pay gap.

Yeah the bill that Sanders wants to enact says 40% not 8% emphasis mine (2) Despite the enactment of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, many women continue to earn significantly lower pay than men for equal work. These pay disparities exist in both the private and governmental sectors. Pay disparities are especially severe for women and girls of color. (3) In many instances, the pay disparities can only be due to continued intentional discrimination or the lingering effects of past discrimination. After…

The article is stupid, its no one's business if she uses a sperm donor.

Yes, when men (or women) are trying to look "adult" they dress up. Just like when Zuckerberg wore ties in 09 because facebook needed investors.

The reason I wonder about this is because I have often heard that women are very good at de-escalating situations that would otherwise lead to an altercation. Unlike physical strength, it's very hard to measure "de-escalation ability", but both qualities are valuable in a police officer. So why make one a requirement, and one not matter at all? If being good at de-escalating situations is because they arent as strong so they have to rely on other skills to navigate socially....then wouldnt it lo…

Because there is no survey instrument in the west that classifies almost anything a woman can do to a man as rape. The only exception is sticking her finger up his ass. This is because every survey I have ever seen defines rape in some context of "penetration"....ie rape can really only be committed by men.

That was not her responsibility, she said she was uncomfortable and scared into minor shock which is very common among rape victims. It was his responsibility to e…

IN an article about how dangerous the stereotype is that men are evil we get this: Petersen captured one student saying: “The public in South Africa seem to think that… their children are not safe, especially around male teachers. (The public is) justified for thinking this way as most child abuse is carried out by male offenders.” Yet studies show that; from here: Approximately 40 percent of child victims were maltreated by their mothers acting alone; another 18.3 percent wer…

I did a post a month ago or so about rape victimization rates and how the definition is skewed so that rape requires penetration, here. Its a bit of a read but I cover most of the major statistical surveys that you see flaunted around to whip up hysteria.

For a man, you have to have something stuck up your ass or for a female to somehow get her sex organ into your mouth for it to count as rape. This bias skews the …

Well these are just government surveys. These arent laws or statutes (of course some of these also exclude male victims by definition but thats a different post). What I mean is, as a man, if you were raped here in the states most police jurisdictions (at least some) would respond to your call but then later when they go to count how many people were raped you would not be counted. So if 12 men called them in distress for rape and 12 women also called, they would only report that they had 12 rep…

The department of justice's NCVS survey uses a definition of rape that categorically excludes male victims. In order for someone to be raped they must be penetrated. This definition gives slanted statistical results that the majority of rape victims are female.

I would hate for someone to walk away thinking it was 20% gross instead of 20% net when wondering if child support was going to be a big deal or not.

Sure here is the relevant state statute. From Sec. 154.125.: 1 child 20% of Obligor's Net Resources That EXCLUDES medical support, thats more. For the percentage of your lifetime earnings I just assumed you would be paying child support for about half of your working lifetime. Also of note that you pay this completely regardless of ever seeing your child.

If this is true (and I absolutely agree that it is): Child support payment and their obligations come from the child, not the parents, so the parents are not usually allowed to contract them away on the child's behalf. Then, in some sense, arent sperm banks "contracting out" children's child support by withholding your identity? How much effort would it really take for the state to go after that?

I taught high school for awhile and I know its not early childhood I can give a glimpse of the public education system. The stigma is absolutely very very real and it will work heavily against you.

Youll face ire from parents and even your peers. My principal candidly told me that I could probably sur…

Before you graduate you should go to the nearest elementary/middle or secondary school and ask the principal what the district's policy for sexual assault allegations are. My first term teaching I actually had two girls tell me that they knew how to get me fired. This despite my hyper-vigilance to never be alone or touch anyone for any reason ever.

Is this five year old document the newest document or is there another one that supersedes it? Many states (I would say nearly all) have made several revisions (not in your favor) since then. On page 7 the author breaks down the differing state's laws into three (four) categories. This is the very first one: Either statute or case law specifically outlaws having intercourse with a person who is too intoxicated to consent. In these states, the victim’s intoxication negates the element of consent,…

I think there is some nuance here. Slut walks (at least some) werent just to get the message across that dressing provocatively meant a girl was asking for rape.

If everyone is having children then that changes things. Everyone gets a turn and everyone works to cover those on their turn knowing it will all even out. But that isnt the case.

Yeah well thats kind of the rub though isnt it? We've fucked around and let policies get on the books to ultimately usher men out of higher education. So it doesnt matter if they are there to party or to study or to teach. I mean if you sat down and wanted to come up with a strategy to get men out of universities as fast as possible while making you seem like a poor victim who overcame all obstacles and them seeming like monsters I doubt you could come up with a better strategy.

If youre affiliated with the university in any capacity (even if you just take one class once a month at night in a basement at an outreach center a thousand miles away from main campus) then you usually always fall under the same handbook. Your affiliation can be stripped away just like anyone elses. You dont have to have had any involvement, the point is you just have to be ACCUSED of it.

Let me share a quote with you: Those who view rape through a political lens tend to place all responsibility on men to make sure that their partners are consenting at every point of a sexual encounter. At the extreme, sexual relations come to resemble major surgery, requiring a signed consent form. Clinical psychologist Mary P. Koss of the University of Arizona in Tucson, who is a leading scholar on the issue, puts it rather bluntly: "It's the man's penis that is doing the raping, and ultimately…

At a university there will be two concurrent investigations; a criminal and a university tribunal. Unless youre leaving out the rape details the police would find that there was no rape or there is insufficient evidence to suggest rape to proceed; the case would be dropped.

If she decides tomorrow, next week, or even in several years time that she was raped then they will be required to launch an independent investigation. During the investigatio…

Then it's a problem with your campus. The language is actually in quite a few campuses. Rape, by definition, involves penetration. It depends on the definition that you use doesnt it? If you google it you get this: The crime, committed by a man, of forcing another person to have sexual intercourse with him, esp. by the threat or use of violence.

A good argument can be made that academia and by proxy academics live in a sort of Ivory Tower From the link: From the 19th century it has been used to designate a world or atmosphere where intellectuals engage in pursuits that are disconnected from the practical concerns of everyday life.

The new definition is: “The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” So no... to be raped you have to be penetrated in either the vagina or the anus w/o consent OR have a sex organ penetrate your mouth.

Up until this year thats pretty much the definition the FBI was using for its crime statistics. If a man was raped they just tagged it as an assault instead. I mean its practically the same thing. Youd think all those crime reports that rely on those statistics would have to have a giant disclaimer at the top that said, "This report is full of shit, dont pass sweeping legislation such as the VAWA based off of it, or for fuck's sake dont use it to vilify an entire gender."

At least as an undergraduate...as a graduate you usually cant just withdraw and would probably do just as well to stay and fight. Like if you have a teaching appointment or a research position. You cant just as easily walk away and if you did...no school would admit someone like that. You would probably still lose but you really cant transfer so youre mostly well and truely fucked.

Well except for the fact that youd be breaking all manner of criminal laws and that it sounds like something out of monty python sketch.

I guess technically she doesnt have to actually have sex with him. She just has to be able to convince a panel eager to convict that she did and that she did not consent/ was unable to consent/ etc. Even if he proves his innocence (which the cards are pretty stacked against him) he will still be out of his dorm, behind in his classes, and have his name ruined in the paper. and then yes ....either way his academic career will either be ruined (found guilty) or he will be publicly humiliated and p…

First off... I am absolutely NOT an attorney (not that it really matters for academic hearings). Which I want to be absolutely clear on...we are talking about academic judicial hearings. This isnt law and order and actual criminal law..this is academic kangaroo law. So even if you have a videocamera I doubt you save yourself from expulsion. I mean youve just thrown yourself out of one honor code (or whatever your university calls their handbook) violation with another. Secondly...how are you goi…

This case highlights the point that for students in the US all sex is tantamount to rape. You wont go prison, sure...but you will be expelled. Any time you have sex with a girl you give her the power to decide to have you expelled or not.

Because the study that the statistic comes from Mary Koss (another feminist academic) used flawed methodolgy. Ill give you the basic rundown and then you can google it for yourself to see how bullshit it is. Koss did two studies. In the first one she asked college women if they were raped but so few of them said that they had that the study was inconsequential. Koss decided many of these women must have been raped and just not know it. So Koss did a second study where she would ask women more qu…

I don't think you can lay this wholly on feminisms door. It wasnt true before feminism and its only true after feminism so while you are right correlation does not equal causation...it might be a good place to start. I assume youve taken some feminist theory and women's studies classes... just be frank...did you walk away from them feeling safer around men or less safe? Are these classes tearing down the stigma that men are monsters or building them? Because I can tell you what they're doing on …

The way it works globally is feminism instead of freeing the genders of labels and definitions is actually just reworking them. Its labelling women as perpetual victims and men as perpetual aggressors. Heres some examples: Watch the gender war. It is a documentary about feminism in Sweden. Read about the Duluth model that feminists created here in the states that shows that men are the de facto aggressors in domestic violence. Despite the fact that research shows that men and women are nearly eq…

While I have always seen feminism is about equality, i get what you are saying, and now i would say it is a women's movement for women, which is fine. I think what you guys need to do is form your own activist MRA band and campaign for the things you want. Then with an MRA and feminism they could work together that would be sweet. Yeah I agree. Women need a group that advocates for them. And men are starting to realize that they too need a group that advocates for them. Then at some point, like …

Neither gender is more deserving than the other But one gender has a movement to advocate its grievances and uses that platform to shun and vilify the other. Instead of promoting any semblance of peace or love or understanding, it fosters hate and shame. Instead of using that platform for equality it just uses it for power. But I never really ever hear any men ever say 'yeah, sometimes, occasionally, we get angry because some of it is true' and we don't want to admit it because it's hard to admi…

Now, we are all arguing about who has it worse. If you knew men were always the historically disposable gender when you came in here then why is it difficult to see why many men may find feminism rather man-hating? The crux of feminism is patriarchy (subjugation of women by men). Your whole movement is based on that premise. If youre the gender thats been thrown into the meat grinder for the sake of building civilization I think its fair to be a little irked that now youre also the enemy and the…

Whats the deal with mutilating the genitals of an infant (often without anesthesia) in order to control his sexuality? Seriously? Do you think parts of you should be lopped off without your consent? Why is this different? Do you think parts should be lopped of without your consent for no good reason? Why is this different? Do you think parts should be lopped off of one gender but to do so to the other gender (even in a different country) is not only socially barbaric but illegal? Why is THAT dif…

This is where he lost me right here: Men have historically enjoyed a biased privilege. This is just an historical fact, not an attack against men. This man suffers from a feminist interpretation of history. Let me give you an example.. Like most feminists, he would probably say it was awesome to be a man during the revolutionary war (this is just an example). He would look at General Washington on his white horse and say, "See! All the men everywhere are riding around like badasses completely fo…

Did you see this in the comments? The first is: The one comment that stood out the most to me is Zoe Nicholson's that men's ideal involvement in the feminist movement is as passive actors. "Behind," "underneath," "away," men's thoughts are irrelevant, they just need to give/raise money and stay out of the way. Is she right about this? and then the answer: Yes, she is. The society we live in values the voices of men over women, so feminism needs to be a place where women's voices are paramount. I…

Its actually not that hyperbolic. Basically if you are a student now in an american university then you fall under two jurisdictions; the university and the local police. The local police and the criminal code is probably what you are familiar with if its been awhile since youve been in college. However, since last may (from the dept of education which was responding to pressure from VP Biden) colleges now must ALSO investigate rapes and have their own independent judicial proceeding for their s…

Men are strong so they are the only ones capable of doing bad things, women are weak and valuable and are the only ones capable of having bad things done to them so its up to the men to protect them. I think it would be more effective if it spelled out what IS rape. If it was actually informative instead of just pandering to sexist bigotry. Take my campus for example. Nearly everyone here is a rapist and they just dont know it. I pointed this out to the powers that be. If they really wanted to s…

It wouldnt matter. All schools in the United States must basically follow this exact bullshit procedure due to a Dear Colleague letter from the dept of education last may. You can google it but it basically says everything is rape if the girl decides its rape and colleges must have a sham hearing to throw the one with the penis out otherwise colleges are creating a hostile environment and risk losing their title ix funding. If youre a male in college you should definitely be aware of how ridicul…

It is a common concept that is known in sociology and psychology that labels can transform and shape people. "All men are rapists" convinces men that they are just that, if they believe it. They may never rape, they may never have the capability of it. But on a subconscious level, after years and years of the institutionalized labeling, I can see how men would "confess" to being rapists because, well, we have been taught from birth that's exactly what we are. What he is saying here is that femin…

Thanks for sharing Typhon. Thats really interesting. Are you familiar with the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that a person's language influences the way they think? Im not a linguist but the idea is fascinating. I think you may be being too hard on 2x. You should post it and see if they offer some input.

Sokolow praises the University of San Diego’s efforts. He recommends hiring more than one prevention expert and funding prevention efforts on campus—not with thousands or tens of thousands of dollars—but with hundreds of thousands. And that right there is why this is a big deal. Youve got some kind of imaginary problem on campuses, some kind of goddamn epidemic, and feminists are too busy blaming men for every problem real or imagined to give a shit about the full ramifications of what their zea…

She must be talking about coverture. A woman's rights and property became that of her husbands but so did a woman's crimes become his responsibility. It basically enshrined in law that women were like children that you adopted and had to take care of but also had to take responsibility for. Im not entirely sure why feminists are so pissed off about it. I mean a few years ago I would have been able to tell you its because it completely assumes a woman has no agency and no ability to take responsi…

in a criminal court? no, probably not.. especially with you having it on video that she is aggressively consenting if you are a student and she decides she was raped? yes. a student can not consent to sex if she (its a little unclear how this works for males) has had anything to drink (its not clear how much either, so far any amount) no matter what. so while you wouldnt go to jail, youd just be expelled as a rapist and probably never get a degree from anywhere. In universities its pretty much a…

Consider: Most rape is acquaintance rape and not dark knife-wielding stranger rape in the back of an alley. You know in Texas there is NO statute of limitations for some cases of rape (there must be DNA evidence) so the victim literally has forever. If there is NO DNA evidence then its still 10 years. Then there is also a rape crisis center which in some cases will even provide the victim a volunteer to actually hold her/his hand while he/she talks to police, again this is in Texas. Though Im su…

I really appreciate your time and effort in responding and being so thorough. Your post is actually REALLY helpful and in more ways than I would have thought. Its easier to point to systems already in place and say, "See! Look how they are doing it. It doesnt have to be one side vs the other." Like with the shelters for victims. The gendered violence provision of the VAWA was shot down. The part where crimes committed against women were more serious because they were hate crimes. The Supreme Cou…

A political scientist may be more qualified but I think alot of is that it really doesnt matter what the facts are, its what people think the facts are. If Im a politician and Im in a debate I could never, not in a million years, explain and convince to an audience how the rape epidemic is bullshit.
