With the gender disparity in teaching, don't count on male role models there. Neighbors, relatives, family friends: same deal if you have a single parent who isolates themselves. I don't disagree with anything you said, I just realllly don't want anyone to take it for granted that those role models will be available to every kid. Some just won't have access, or will only have it very sporadically.

Rape accusations are fundamentally different from those other examples because they can gain a ton of traction (i.e. do a tremendous amount of harm to the accused) without a shred of corroborating evidence. This needs to be emphasized strongly and repeatedly. Unlike other crimes, a false rape accusation is entirely equivalent to framing the accused.

I have to agree with you. Face to face, girls are less likely to mention it than guys. Well, although, girls will still mention it about their unliked ex's without much hesitation.

The way I was raised is to believe guys will be kind of ignorant about that stuff, and their "you're a girl" insults are just kind of dumb, but it hits a lot harder coming as an insult from women. If a wife/girlfriend said it and legitimately meant it as a compliment, I'd be pretty happy with it. But IRL, not all women would be able to see it as something positive in a male mate.

The word 'misogynist' has expanded to such an extreme that it is the Pavlovian response to anything a 'feminist' feels bad about, but cannot articulate in an adult-like manner. Nailed it. Not that there aren't plenty of things which legitimately fit the definition, but colloquially it's become an all-purpose pejorative term, like "shit".

I don't know about the loss of a child, but in other catastrophes, including the death of a parent, my reaction has been to emotionally clamp down (automatically, not by choice) for a while. I agree that people should be skeptical here, though, because of the dipshits who would troll with this kind of issue. Just so long as skeptical doesn't spill over into cynical asshole territory (not that you did at all).

From the quoted section above, it looks like he's actually reporting that incest is more often positive than not, excluding parental incest. It may be entirely factually accurate and it doesn't mean he endorses it as a practice, but... I don't even know how to address this, it seems to me like the only way the problem here can not be self-evident to anyone is if they're intentionally rejecting reality on ideological grounds, the way some feminists are adamant that there shouldn't be sexual separ…

That's what I was taught too, and that this happened to amount to equalism in practice. The feminism I see now on reddit (and don't even bring up tumblr) is light years more hostile than anything I was raised to believe, although I was raised with pretty stark and explicit feminist values.

Nono, I wasn't proposing anything, I'm just hanging out here. For me, the two differences between MRA and Feminism are, 1) I wasn't raised to hold MRA sacred, and 2), MRA addresses attacks against men as a gender (which include me), while Feminism is very likely to be the author of those attacks. Other than that, they're both pretty nutty, and while they both have very good points in there, I'm still keeping a cattleprod distance, minimum.

Just imagine the kind of damage that could cause to someones psyche if they're raped but don't feel like the situation wasn't "rape-y enough" (whatever the fuck that would mean), and are then afraid that they'll be seen as a false accuser. Or imagine the kind of damage to someone's psyche and reputation if they're afraid they'll be seen as a rapist, when they did nothing of the kind?

I think it wouldn't gain much ground. Akin to how the word feminism can be immediately off-putting to men. I was taught from early childhood that the "femin" part of "feminism" is more or less a linguistic quirk, and that it actually means 'equalism". So, indoctrinate the kids that way with masculism, to overcome the obvious emperor's-new-clothes response to the name. (Note: do not really do this. It's just as misleading and fucked up either way it's aimed.)

I'm not sure he'd be portrayed as worse than a rapist, but if I started collating a list of all the articles, let alone comments and at least one documentary-style hourlong TV show, about what a horrible patriarchical violation it is for anyone to judge the appearance of a woman's labia, it's an extremely long and hostile (not to mention often blatantly hypocritical) list.

That's a very interesting point. The criminality, severity, and damage of rape with assault is self-evident, but rape without assault seems like something that needs more consideration. Is there a way to explain the damage or criminality without the specific word rape, say if you were explaining it to someone learning english? Particularly if the victim didn't remember what happened--I think we'd all agree that a crime takes place whether or not the victim remembers it, but I don't know how I'd …

There was some thread a few months back where a woman said she'd been in situations where she was pressured for sex, resisted and said no repeatedly, and finally stopped resisting and had sex just to get it over with, and she didn't consider this to be rape; she was blasted for it, even after adding the details that she'd also been what she considered "really raped", by two guys in the woods which left her bloody, severely injured and with permanent damage to her hip joints.

I don't know if she was or not (I'd been with a couple of other friends; I was smashed and went back to the motel room to sleep it off, she must have been in the vicinity and followed me in there; I don't know where exactly she'd been or what she'd been doing prior to that), though if she was at all intoxicated, it wasn't visibly evident.

On spring break in college, a bunch of us went down to a certain florida location, and during the week, a girl who'd been sort of chasing me for a while--and who I'd been trying to politely deflect without hurting her feelings--got me into the motel bed while I was drunk off my ass. I avoided her after that, and she did apologize at one point when she ran into me on campus. It strikes me occasionally that by feminist standards, I was raped.

I think the assumption is that in every case, the guy is the one who wants sex, so in both cases the guy is the one benefiting from it. With an older guy, this is seen as molestation; with an older woman, it's seen as doing something nice for the boy. Maybe it made more sense a hundred years ago, I dunno.

Especially considering most Feminists are dominant personalities, imagine being a dominant strong willed person while largely being universally physically weaker than nearly 50% of the population just because you were born a different gender.

She is a recovering alcoholic. I've also learned that there were some mental issues in her past that I didn't know about before marrying her. It feels shitty whenever I see more evidence that it's a bad idea to partner with someone with mental health issues (regardless of gender). They need support as much, if not more, than people running on all cylinders. But their partner doesn't deserve to become a victim to their issues.

It's something I've heard for years so I didn't have a specific link in mind, but here's one which is the kind of thing I had in mind. For what it's worth, though, while googling for that, a lot of returns came up which argue that the research was flawed, and that the divorce rate is not in fact higher for pre-cohabitants after all (though none at all that I saw argued that the rate was ever any lower for couples who live together prior to marriage).

I don't see how she could be doing all this without believing some of what she's saying, although (taking your descriptions at face value) none of it is true.

Re. the money part, I can't agree. There are plenty of places where nobody will look twice (in most stores in average or better areas, or your workplace). In public generally it's better not to test it, to be on the safe side. But then there are neighborhoods where you're seriously asking to be mugged, though not everyone would realize it at first glance (and depending on level of naivete). Friends familiar with those neighborhoods would have sympathy for you, the first time it happened.

I don't want to get into a big thing, and I don't have any comprehensive reply to the other guy's points, but one of the reasons I started to question my feminist beliefs in my 20s was because after having been raised with strong liberal values, to see and respond to racism and sexism, I finally realized that I had seen first-hand the racism toward non-white americans over the years, but the alleged ingrained cultural sexism against women didn't ever seem to be there to nearly the same degree.

Eddie Izzard has a bit about perjury, with regard to Bill Clinton being impeached for perjury after he lied under oath about having received a blow job from his intern: You have murder One. Murder Two. You realize that there can be a difference in the level of murder. (And an added paraphrase I found elsewhere: "There are different levels of theft: robbery, breaking and entering, armed robbery. The law makes distinctions among violations of the law all of the time.") So there must be a differenc…

I must admit I don't know much about the whole creepshots debate thing but posting pictures of people online or even taking pictures of people without their permission is wrong. I've seen this posted a number of times in the past few days and so far I haven't seen a single response to the point that this site, the internet, the news media, the world is full of pictures taken without the consent of the people in them.

Edit: What bothers me the most about this is that she won't think she did anything wrong because the bus driver is going to get in trouble. This was one of the main things I took from "The Moral Animal": people's feelings of guilt are very highly correlated to being caught and observed in a shaming context. Doing a shameful act, but never being caught, has a vastly lower rate of creating feelings of shame. It's a provocative idea, and I didn't want to think it was true of myself, but it seems to…

Hell if I know the details, I decided to take a long break from the site a couple of years back when she gained so much influence and (IMO) got the ball rolling on the reddit subculture which eventually became SRS. All I know is that she was doxxed, and redditors used that information to harass her and her family, including death threats. I'm not sure if that directly had anything to do with her lower profile afterward. It was gratifying to come back and not see her multiple times on nearly ever…

I can't help but this is really just an example of putting women on a pedestal, which lots of MRAs talk about as being the bad thing it is.

Yeah, but from what I've seen, online stuff virtually never has the psychological effect of that pop in the nose, short of doxxing. All it does is inflame them to do more of it. The attention is the reward for trolling, which I don't think is quite the same in IRL bullying.

I'm willing to bet though that if you could follow one around , troll every one of their posts for long enough , they'd eventually mutter something along the lines of "fucking trolls !"

Women today are like small children, just blathering on and on living in that "me me me" universe that everyone else is expected to move on from when they turn seven. That's way too broad a generalization for me, especially if it's intended to be a contrast with men today.

Anybody who has ever tried to reason with a bully knows how futile the endeavor is . Their own medicine is generally the only thing they understand . The same rules apply here to my way of thinking . Face to face, maybe. How often do online trolls stop trolling because other people trolled back? Compared to how often it encourages them to ramp up and maintain their trolling in perpetuity?

It's the SRS motto. SRS's behavior is what biased me against their causes, and brought me here, when I wasn't before. Think really hard before justifying bullying to yourself with a belief that it's going to bring people to your side, as it is also going to actively drive people to the side you're bullying.

Yes, I didn't mean that it would be enough for me to make any kind of universal generalization; I meant that if the pattern persisted for me, it would take far less than a thousand before I respected it personally, since it would be costing me too much to continue ignoring it.

Also, note that I said psychiatrist and not therapist so there isn't much expectation of empathy, just enough so that the psychiatrist takes care to prescribe the most appropriate medicine.

If I ever have to get my dick looked at, I don't care if it's a male or female doctor because they have all graduated medical school and been practicing for a while. You seem to be suggesting all doctors are equally competent, at anything they are treating, as long as it isn't the first time they've treated it.

Interesting...I've received better treatment from male psychiatrists than female, though I never thought about it in those terms. But if I look at the docs who seemed to make more effort to empathize, or spent more time on my issues, or seemed to listen well, it turns out to be the males, by a clear margin.

You have no possible idea how personally I know what you're describing. On the other hand, I am always heartened and surprised by how many social workers genuinely care about the people they're professionally obligated to assist, and respect ethical boundaries while doing so.

You're pretty cool :) It is impressive how dutifully many social workers stick to their ethics in the field (since they're working with clients, not coworkers, and have more leeway to attempt screwing around if they're prone to). I don't know how badly they have to fuck up to be reigned back in, though, if they are the capricious type. And some are.

Mi-son-dry is better, although I don't think it's widely used (and how would that be changed?) and still not as mellifluous (thank you for the wonderful word) as misogyny. Why do you think it's a mistake to take on the word misandry that way?

First, just to get it out of the way, I think insects are pretty cool too, although I like spiders more.

But you only hear about misogyny and homophobia; rarely gynophobia or mis, er, I don't even know how that one would go. Point being, the words have an etymological identity and separately a sociological function. "Misogyny" is a word that easily rolls off the tongue; "Misandry" feels like my to…

That sounds about right to me.

You're always told that the rather pronounced gender bias in the name "feminism" should be disregarded, and that it's really about protecting everyone, rather being about females. From what I see, that is sometimes how it is practiced, though perhaps not enough to justify the claim. At any rate, there are plenty of legitimate women's issues... and plenty that aren't, but my point is that it makes sense for those issues to be described as feminism.

I don't know why this never occurred to me before, but there is a relevant context in which someone could actually be said to be "choosing their sexuality": someone who is closeted, who then chooses to openly identify with their actual sexuality rather than the one they've used socially. So it would be choosing your public social sexuality, rather than internal sexuality, but when homophobic people say that you can choose to be gay, maybe that's what they're thinking behind the statement?

You're welcome to argue that it's just one guy and not representative of SRS generally, or to disagree with his points, but none of that is mine to defend; I'm just linking it to show where I get the idea.
