because settling affected their manhood. Because settling made them non-prospects to women and they held that the world was actually just for far too long.

What amounts to an 'orgasm' for men is pretty much like "What sex feels like" for women, so there's that. I've never been brought to screaming convulsions like women I've been with. Tell you what: you can get the sensitive part of your clit lopped off and it'll be nice and equal.

While I generally agree with you, if I had to say, it's that the reality of these movies not showing overt sexual interest is being mistaken for betaness. This said, I think there may be a seed of rhetoric in this and cultivation theory. Many men have grown up without male role models or just men and thus do not know what to emulate. Cultivation theory posits that, in the absence of information, media will not inform our behaviour per-se, but inform our knowledge base. In the case of young boys,…

I'd say all in all, we're talking about the difference between a hand being cut off vs. a foot. All this said, and this is me: I have been forcibly ridden, and what bothered me most was not the act but that it was done in blackmail of a false rape claim.
/r/PurplePillDebate01/10/16 06:58 AM

I'd agree with you were it not for the fact of the brain 'mapping' of the male genitals as the primary focal point of sex. There exists a probably similar chance of penile injury from forceful riding as forceful vaginal entry. Anal is different because of the mechanics. I think it is far worse. But women react to rape more harshly due to their mental physiology and chemistry, as they do with most other traumatizing or even just negative events.

Sure there are opportunistic women out there that prey on desperate guys in order to use them as orbiters, but they are in the minority. Mostly it's a miscommunication due to the lack of social skills on both sides. You don't seem to understand. I used the justification that they weren't showing me more interest and thus probably weren't interested, despite showing other signs. It's not oppourtunism, it's just being a bit selfish.

That active hiding of intention is pretty telling, though. You're telling me that the guy with a crippling fear of rejection has just-so-happened to be able to expertly hide their intentions relating to sex? I'm sorry, I don't buy it. I've been in the position of 'fuck zoning' someone and did what I presume to be the exact analogue of friend-zoning. Orbiters are also primarily a result of feminist inundation that being forward or showing sexual interest is oppressive, however, or at least a huge…

But most "MRA"s dont do it to further the rights of men, they do it to shut up women. Thats why if you go to /r/mensrights youll find the top post making fun of how the original ghost busters did better than the new one. That'd be because the movie positioned itself as the "Not Male" Ghostbusters and ended with the monster getting shot in the dick. This is not 'shutting up women', it's tearing down the hateful rhetoric of feminists.

I do think female on male DV exists, definitely. I think those guys don't want to fight back, either out of fear that they will end up being accused of DV themselves or because they have become way too submissive. Or they live in a culture where it's a tenet of that ever present 'toxic masculinity' to never hit a woman.

I don't think it's malicious, I think it's willfully stupid and selfish with the plausible deniability of 'just being a friend'. If you're telling me that women are this bad at picking up body language cues and general social cues, they are, as a class, functionally retarded.

The current analysis points to a reality where women get more for lesser work. For the wage gap to only be 4% when controlling for quatifiable factors is absurd. Base pay has an exponential relationship to hours worked.

Legitimately and truly, if we had to compare: male circumcision removes a mechanical function not present in female circumcision until ~Type 3. It's arguably 'worse', though both are so horrible it's like comparing getting a leg cut off to an arm.

The only logical answer here is, they hate men. Either that or they believe women are entirely more important than men and deserve total priority, even when it means ignoring men's issues totally. The latter leads to the former. If you believe that men and men's issue are always secondary to women's, that is going to lead to, at least, some disdain of the group and their issues.

I am not a father nor do I plan to be one, but if there is one thing that profoundly irritates me about from what I hear about child-rearing--in particular, baby rearing--it's the utter cost of it all, in particular, relying on consumer products like baby food and diapers. Men typically like to feel useful. Showing them that they can make baby food with an immersion blender and knowing where to buy in bulk and so on could make a pretty profound difference.

How? Because we said it effects women too? So much about "WHAT ABOUT DA MENZ!" No one said that. We are saying that traditional masculinity tells men to "man up" or "deal with it" instead of seeking support. Traditional masculinity 'tells' men to not expect support, because they won't get it. And they don't.

I used to know quite a few women in the sex trade. Gonna put my two cents in here: If sex workers work out of the body rub parlors they have some protection Body rub parlours are probably the single worst place for a sex worker to work. Because trading sex is illegal in sex parlours, there are no checks and balances for the workers, who are often pushed to upsell. The management takes a large cut. This would not be an issue in actual brothels. Additionally, when sex work is legal, these women ha…

The only reason I mentioned rape is because you can't say men are biologically inclined to do anything. Not rape, not stoicism, not any of that. They are simply human with a vast array of actions and motivations. Yes you can. Do you think hormones have no effect on behavior? Are all those trans people just subject to a massive placebo effect?

Sure, but to what extent nobody really knows. To date we haven't been able to control for nurture when examining the effects of nature. Yes we have.

Yeah, of course. One is drunk and incapacitated, the other is not. Many, many feminists purport consent to be literally impossible if someone is even intoxicated.

It is even frequently brought up that if someone 'blacks out', they were incapcitated and not able to give consent, which is not true.

How about this, " We are not at a point to analyze “due process,” when many survivors are publicly shamed on their campuses, when charges against assaulters can be dismissed out of hand by administrators, when an assaulter is allowed to sit across from a survivor and shout down their story." ~ Sarah Merriman, a spokeswoman for SAFER Campus, a national advocacy group We are not a point to consider due process for rape, apparently.

You know what? At this time in 2015, I don't doubt it. People are getting disgustingly fat and don't exercise.

There is also the issue with men wanting to fuck but not really wanting to go through with foreplay. With the high availability of wank fodder these days, I am sure that also contributes.

Why do you think so many women believed this for so long? Sex is such a fundamental part of existence that for billions of adult women to think this and propagate it likely means that many, many women simply do not enjoy sex or view the benefits they can get out of men as being superior to sex. Also, that so many women believed this kind of casts doubt on the precept that men just wantonly raped their wives if they could be controlled via sex.

Personally, I think physically men peak at the age of 33 years old or so, assuming health and fitness of course. MBP is likely not setting in yet, they have finally grown into their faces, and if they're remotely in shape they're also just way better than all the other lard worms out there. It's a slow taper from there. Men do not deal with anything like menopause as well, so a 55 year old man will generally be infinitely more attractive than his female counterparts.

How do you feel you're being held responsible? Not denying anything, just curious. "Men can stop rape." "Don't be that guy." I don't see so much masculinity being seen as negative, but the negative aspects of masculinity under attack with no healthy alternatives offered. The 'negative' aspects of masculinity are seemingly all of masculinity not devoted to helping women, essentially. Of course women like successful men. Men like successful women, too. Hypergamy is a near-female exclusive trait.

Fathers interact with their kids FAR more now then they used to. In the old days, "absent fathers" often used to be either absent because they were out drinking or cheating on their wives, or if they were home, they were abusive. It figures you believe this.

I don't believe that for a second. If you think men are being unfairly treated on a systemic level, then the issue lies with those in power. Mostly men.

The average woman likely gets paid more than the average man.

That it's only ~4% when linearly controlling for experience, hours worked and so on points to a reality where men are likely subsidizing women's labour. Think about it like this.

I think a preponderance of evidence standard is reasonable for kicking people out of school, which isn't the same thing as "they were accused and the two people had sex". It literally is given the nature of most rape claims. You have two people, 50% and 50% at the start. One person makes a claim. It is now 51%. There have been multiple lawsuits on this.

You again linked two studies. I gave you one showing you are wrong. Also, a PR survey isn't a study. Neither is some unaccountable story. The one that is a study was not impartial and primed its subjects, gave a poor cover story, and was a response to the overwhelming data showing a preference for women in STEM. The researcher is a known ideologue whose later work was to show how sexist men were for doubting her first study, which was based on disproving this one: http://www.nap.edu/catalog/1206…

Um, actually, a good amount were given my area and the racial tensions. Many criminals do not also attack women due to a certain code of honor.

I think we should instill minimum income so the people who don't want to work/work useless jobs don't and those who do want to find work. The amount of administrative/clerical jobs which amounts to administrating other jobs is fucking preposterous. Women joining the work force was ultimately a net-negative for society as it reduced the bargaining power of the workers, but at the same time, no one should be denied the right to work.

Legal rights are what rights are. Does the law preclude them from anything? No? Then they don't lack rights. That said, men are judged as incompetent buffoons in much of what they do until they gain a large amount of status. This is especially true in any social matter, be it child raising or relationships, things arguably more important than just being good at your vocation--which men are supposedly not as good or competent at either.

Maybe not in the positivist sense, but we've attempted to falsify this time and time again, and it definitely appears more than likely at this point.

Just because something has a tangential link or connection to a past practice does not automatically make it derived from that practice. Can you really call a system wherein women hold practical exclusive power in the dating realm and thus demand a provider, a lover and so much mo…

Exactly, you can't measure sexual pleasure, and therefore the risk of denying a man it of his own accord is simply too great to provide nebulous benefits that are almost exclusively counteracted by use of a prophylactic, especially since it's been shown that more children will have complications from circumcision than will receive direct benefit.

I'd just like to note something about the suicide fact.

Todd Akin specifically said, in a nutshell, that points brought up in the abortion debate about pregnancies resulting from rape are non-points, because the female body has the ability to terminating a pregnancy if it feels like it's been 'real' raped.

I do however see one immediate criticism that you are going to get with that data.

I think her poorly exhibited point is that the feminist side has to make an argument as to how much 'internalized misogyny' women who dress revealingly possess. To what degree is it reflecting cultural pressure to embody a certain type of beauty, and to what degree is it women's own agency allowing them to dress the way they wish? If it's most of the former and little of the latter, than how should women dress? Should women just be wearing the analogues to male clothing all the time?

It's been my experience that school caters to female-oriented learning styles based on communication rather than technical ability, and there are several studies that show significant discrimination against boys by female teachers which could easily account for many of the graduation discrepancies.

Because an aggressive man is a man who society hasn't tempered into not beating the shit out of you if you piss him off, whereas women do not have it drilled into their heads at birth that showing aggression can likely lead to dire consequences. There's also the vocal dynamics. Men have deeper, louder voices.

Unfortunately, we'd be up against a media which excels at perpetuating stereotypes to pander to their audiences, and the 'oafish guy' or 'asshole' archetype is ever present in the most consumed media--specifically T.V.--which has suburbanite women as their primary audiences, who eat it up.

Remember, it's based on a pseudo-Marxist paradigm, wherein women are the proletariat and men the bourgeious. Makes sense when all those who founded the foundations of feminism in the first place were upper-class de-facto nobles who saw the public goings-on and couldn't possibly reconcile the fact that their lavish lifestyle was based on the sweat and labour of the men and women who occupied the lower echelons of society.

Hahaha, oh man. It's already hijacked. ""'Female privilege'", also known as benevolent prejudice, is a sociological term that refers to special rights or preference given to women in a society, that are denied to others. Its counterpart is "Male Privilege." 'Female privilege' is completely a byproduct of historical patriarchal views like gender essentialism which propagates oppositional and traditional sexist views on the roles all genders play.[1]" Good luck.

The custodial parent would have to make a substantial personal income (Like...$85K/yr, maybe) too make ends meet without it, if they had that many kids.

It's fairly recent.

You do not have an argument that would stand up against that. Except the mother has the ability to withhold these rights from the child.

The difference is the whole 'looks like a real person' thing.
