Kanye’s situation is not comparable, as he refuses treatment for his diagnosed and obvious illness(es). If he were a woman we would never suggest that he should be able to equally co-parent vulnerable children.

I’m a man in favor of men’s rights, but that doesn’t make me retarded enough to think that a woman poses as much of a threat to me as a man at night on the street. Pretending that statistics and patterns don’t exist is utterly absurd. Im alone in an elevator with one other person. If that other person is a woman with a briefcase, do I behave the same as if the other person is a skinhead with face tattoos? The answer is no and any other answer is self-parody at this point. Im done now, so you can…

I see now. Private citizens must refuse to engage in pattern recognition to keep themselves safe, because police profiling is bad.

Nonsense. An institution that allows profiling as a matter of policy cannot prevent negative or abusive instances of it. An institution that does not allow it can prevent those. An individual who has no power over another individual simply choosing to avoid potential danger does no harm and has nothing to do with institutions or the state whatsoever. A solo woman crossing the street to avoid a man who appears drunk at 2 AM is not bigotry, it’s common sense. I’ve been attacked and mugged in my ci…

That’s why I specified that profiling on an individual level has value, not at an institutional or state level. One individual profiling another in public does no “harm” whatsoever. Feel free to use downvoting to voice your disagreement on this comment as well.

I don’t have any problem with profiling of anyone (at an individual level) in environments where risk is present. I’ve had the “follow your gut” conversation with my wife dozens of times because she is more afraid of offending than of the physical threat, despite being menaced by a particular demographic segment many times and in harrowing situations. Women do face risk from men. Should they be profiling their co-workers or acquaintances and making assumptions about them based on race/sex/orient…

Always worth looking up data about the other charges that go along with “marijuana arrests.” Without getting into the fact that prohibition incentivizes organized crime and violence, it’s worth noting that interested parties will often refer to someone charged with concealed carry of an unregistered firearm and possession as having been arrested for “marijuana” or “drug-related” offenses. And it should surprise no one that the vast majority of people involved in organized crime/drug distribution…

I think that’s an extremely reductive take that conveniently ignores that the man was beheaded by an extremist minority in his own country. Typically when we lay the blame on a lie, the lie is about something serious - someone tells a story about a rape, or abuse, or another crime - and gets someone arrested or killed. It doesn’t usually apply to a lie about showing satirical cartoons in class and talking about free speech. When a story about a teacher talking about free speech gets him killed, …

I can’t help but think this story is being used as a way out of dealing with the far more insidious reality of this murder. The fact that she lied adds to the tragedy, but changes nothing. If her story had been true would that explain what happened after?

It’s not so dissimilar from why there is still a multi-billion dollar industry of “low-fat” foods marketed for weight loss. For an array of erroneous reasons, proponents of circumcision have been able to promote an image of the procedure as healthy.

The only people deserving of sympathy in this story are Hay’s children. The man continued to see these scam-artists, and even gave them his computer passwords, after they had already accused him of rape multiple times. Reading the essay is like reading masochist torture porn. The openness of Title IX to abuse and false accusations is, as always, an issue, but it is hard to regard Hay as a hapless victim.

It's strange, especially since the replacement of familial bonds with loyalty/obligations to the government has been an explicit agenda of Communist regimes. A piece like this, mainstreamed by The New Republic, really seems to validate conspiratorial thinking about subversion.

The number of comments accepting this completely invented and self-evidently false claim is ridiculous. Even the ones admitting it’s nonsense need to add long caveats about how even though it isn’t true it’s still a problem and yatta yatta. When something is an obvious lie, call it what it is.

I'm confused as to the way in which the question was "inappropriate" or, in the words of the comments here, "shit"? It seems like a cute question - hey, you're the first female coach of a major German team. Can you coach in the locker room or do you have to wait outside?

I'm not familiar with his current positions, but you completely misrepresent the body of his work. He produced multiple documentaries in the 1990s and gave multiple speeches in which he claimed to be able to prove, along with other fools like Leuchter and Zundel, that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz.

This is all caused by the trend away from individualism and individual responsibility. Rape is not a crime committed by normal men who think it's okay. It's not a cultural or educational problem.

"The fact that Trump said this guy (Kavanaugh) has been unfairly accused is increasing men's belief that men are victimized," Wilkins said. Right. Men weren't afraid of being falsely accused until Trump said it. It couldn't have been the utterly uncorroborated accusations, given the seal of approval by literally every mainstream outlet in the world and the holy "belief" anointing by at least 50% of the population.

I agree that there should be more coverage and certainly more attention paid to the fact that her sex was an indispensable PR tool before she was caught, but there has been a ton of coverage on Theranos and its fall. There was also a best-selling book by the same WSJ journalist who broke the story when no one else in the media would listen.

The problem in progressive reasoning reveals itself even in the few comments already in the thread. We are told that nothing counts as evidence against rape. Nothing. I accept that some people stay with their abusers, I do. I don't have to be able to personally relate to someone's behavior to accept the data that it does, in fact, happen. But if someone voluntarily continuing a relationship with a person after an alleged rape is not evidence against said rape, then I have no idea how any system …

I'm just amazed that in a sub devoted to men's rights, you're saying that when someone is on the other side you don't care if they're destroyed by unfounded rape accusations. Kavanaugh is not responsible for the disastrous state of American politics. I really encourage you to read some of his opinions. I know that people think that judges and justices just side with whomever they like, but judges of his caliber are not ideological the way you seem to think.

This shit is exhausting! I answered your FBI question in my post. The idea of an investigation is simply a delaying tactic. It is not an effort to get at the truth. I didn't pick him as a representation of men's issues. He is living out a mens' issue and I think that the way he has been treated demonstrates very clearly the problem with 'believing' despite a lack of evidence.

Every single purported "lie" has been related to drinking, not anything material to the case. The Democrats have made a deliberate effort to move the goalposts on that subject, and a full hour of yesterday's hearing was devoted to questions about whether or not Kavanaugh ever blacked out from drinking - the implication is, of course, that if there is ever a time that he cannot remember, then he himself cannot know whether he is a rapist. That's not my extrapolation, that is the direct implicatio…

There is not a single witness that has gone on record saying that such an event took place, so to say that "there's people supporting both sides" is misleading.

I'm sorry, I can't see this as anything other than feminism.

There seems to be a broad trend to expect the kind of care and consideration that used to be reserved for close friends and family.

The story might be completely accurate and truthful and it might be exaggerated in the woman's favor, but we can safely assume that it ISN'T exaggerated in the man's favor. In other words, the one thing we know about the story is that it doesn't downplay his alleged wrongdoing. And even in stories like this, in which it is in the woman's interest to portray a …

Wouldn't using this contraceptive method for any length of time would foster dependence? Men who use anabolic steroids often have to take exogenous testosterone for the rest of their lives because the endocrine system is unable to return to pre-steroid function. I would never consider using something like this myself, but I'm interested to see what the plan for weaning off of the drug would be.

This is one to hold onto and show others. It is such a clear distillation of the total lack of perspective that incubates radical feminism. No mention that the vast majority of BH’s victims are men, from outright murder, torture, kidnapping, and enslavement to forcing little boys to fight and kill. In the rest of society men are exclusively tasked with fighting BH and protecting their ability to have such a debate, but to them the fundamental issue is restrictive female gender roles.

It shows hovering hands for a staged photograph, meaning that it was a joke about groping. A joke about groping while wearing a flak jacket.

Of course. Prohibition raises the value of trafficked goods, incentivizing organized crime and violence.

No. There are two accusations - the kiss and the "groping" in the photo. He says he doesn't remember the kiss the same way. The photo clearly contradicts her claim and everyone with 1/16 of a brain left can see that it is an innocent joke ABOUT groping in a flak jacket.

I've already said that I agree with you on the moral question. It's wrong for a teacher to have sex with a student, and she should not be allowed to resume teaching. But the way to address it is either to raise the age of consent to a post-primary school age, or to make it explicitly illegal for a teacher to have sex with a student. It is explicitly illegal in some places, but not others. Rape between consenting parties is called statutory rape because the the law has designated when consent can…

If you refuse to abide by the legal definitions of rape to continue asserting your own with absolute confidence, then it becomes difficult to have any kind of debate.

I don't agree with your title, but this is a great example of the phenomenon. Feminists want mutually drunk sex to be classified as rape, but will not brook any criticism of the drunken hook-up culture at every Western university. It is as blatant a power-grab as there could be. 'We want the freedom to behave with complete and total abandon, but if something happens that we regret we want the full weight of the state at our backs.'

That's still a use of 'privilege' conforming to the academic social science appropriation of the word. There is no such thing as 'fitness privilege.'

Activism to achieve what? What barriers? 1 in 5 women aren't being raped, 1 in 6 men aren't either. The only positive thing anyone can claim about these self-aggrandizing publicity stunts is that they 'raise awareness.' But you've invented the problem of which you're trying to raise awareness.

As far as I know, that would be called 'incapacitated by alcohol' or 'incapacitated due to alcohol consumption' or some variant thereof.

I don't agree that it is the demonization of femininity (misogyny) that is responsible for small genitalia being stigmatized. I think saying that is just a way of making women victims by extension.

The only way - really, the only way - that this song could even be called "sexist" is if you think that wanting to have sex with women means that you hate them. You encounter this idea sometimes, when people refer casually to the "sexism" or "misogyny" of wanting to have sex with a woman without necessarily getting to know her. A one-night stand can either be a progressive, empowering act or one of sheer sexist hate depending on your gender, your orientation, and how attractive the woman is.

I always love the assertion that what's depicted in pornography is a problem because it doesn't reflect 'real life.' First of all, everyone knows that pornography (like movies/TV) is entertainment and not real. But obviously if something you see in pornography turns you on more than anything else, you should be free to seek that out without being accused of having 'unrealistic expectations.' As much as feminists would like it, you can't control what turns you on.

Statutory rape victims are statutory rape victims, and the fact that it wouldn't even be statutory rape in many states let alone the majority of countries worldwide leads me to maintain my position. And since you are becoming hysterical I'm less interested in continuing this.

I respect your opinion and I know this issue stirs strong feelings, but I disagree. I don't think that's what this sketch does. There was no rape victim in the case they refer to, just a slightly underage student engaging in consensual sex with someone who should know better. She should never be allowed to teach or work with minors again, but that's all IMO.

I've got no problem with this. The one consequence to a scenario like that should be the teacher losing her job and career, and I would say the same thing if the sexes were reversed.

Not a conspiracy at all. The journalist is on record that she wanted a bold story to expose "rape culture." Even the NYT today called her "more of a casting director" in the narrative of her own advocacy. This same advocacy made its way to the halls of government. Simple.

That when the media chose to acknowledge the flaws in the case (thank heaven for the Washington Post) they shifted the blame to Rolling Stone shows just how far the rot has spread.

The drug war has decimated the black male population of the US...in fact more than decimated by definition...and caused countless men of all races to be sentenced to years behind bars for non-violent crime. These sentences condemn these non-violent offenders to physical and sexual violence. Women, on the other hand, have avoided any and all suffering as a result of the drug war. That makes it, if not an activist issue, something that demonstrates the enormous disparity in criminal sentencing.

If all of these accusations are true, what does it prove? People, especially people who seek positions of power over others, tend to be politically-minded scumbags.

First, we begin with the total misapplication of the word "violence." This is one of the most insidious changes in activist language - applying 'violence,' 'assault,' and 'aggression' as pre- and suffixes in order to neatly tuck huge swathes of behavior into criminal categories. The fact that the ad only shows male perpetrators is the least of its problems. It is based on the myth that sexual assault occurs in public and with the consent and tacit approval of other men.

A Note to Students: When a woman or minority speaks, no matter how inane or stupid or simplistic or boring it is, you must not show any signs of disapproval. Actions such as rolling the eyes, sighing, or shaking the head are likely to signal that you disagree with the woman or minority, which is unacceptable. It is perfectly acceptable to express agreement by nodding, smiling, and applause, but disagreement must be hidden.

I think you're both whinging and oversensitive. Calling someone crazy is dismissive, yes, and that's exactly what it is supposed to be. Emotions are not self-justifying and if someone is being crazy it's fine to call them crazy. It doesn't stigmatize mental illness at all. No one is diagnosed as "crazy."

I never once heard a racial slur directed toward black youth from a white person until the age of about 30. I have also twice been spit on (not at, on) by Hassidim in East Williamsburg for no reason. People are dicks.

Have you listened to all of Serial so far? The evidence against Adnan is certainly not iron-clad (which is what makes the show interesting) but it is FAR from just "the word of one person." It's the word of one person that lines up almost precisely with phone records and the accounts of several witnesses. And just for the record, I think he's innocent - so your point about the complexities of justice is understood, but I don't think that's a good example.

The sisterhood will always attack anyone who doesn't tow the party line. My mother started staying home (parenting) full-time when I was about 5. It was a wonderful change and I think largely responsible for making my sister and myself the people we are today. When I got to college and I'd tell people that "my dad works at x and my mom was a stay-at-home mother," I can't even tell you the number of women who would scrunch up their little snarky faces and say things like (no exaggeration) "Didn't…

Just laugh it off, no one worth caring about takes that word seriously. Like accusations of 'privilege,' it's just a way of belittling someone and disregarding their opinion.

It's possible that you're not from a major city (or in particular NYC) but as a resident I can confirm to within an inch of certainty that these men were not trying to "interact and make friends." The intent is debatable but this is classic catcalling, not casual conversation.

Even so, I don't think that comparing it to FGM is in anyone's interest, not even the MHRM's. FGM, when performed, is done in largely medieval conditions and is associated with high rates of infection as well as true horrors like fistulas. In terms of severity, there really is no contest.

I am ambivalent about this. We know that the vast majority of rapes are perpetrated by a tiny number of serial offenders. We also know that very often the evidence is not substantial enough to bring charges (these would be claims that are unfounded, but not false as OP rather hysterically calls them). Certainly robust record-keeping would allow multiple accusations by unrelated parties against one person to be cross-referenced, which would be a good step in protecting people from these animals. …

I think that we are arguing similar points on different sides of a divide, which is the preponderance standard.

I think that you're wrong about it not invalidating consent.

And when you so dramatically place periods into your sentences, you're not responding to the point that I made at all.

Unfortunately, all the California law says about consent while drunk is "It shall not be a valid excuse that the accused believed that the complainant affirmatively consented to the sexual activity if the accused knew or reasonably should have known..." and then it lists conditions.

Well being drunk doesn't imply consent, but yes - the law says that consent given while intoxicated is null and void. It doesn't say anything about BAC or incapacitation or memory loss or anything else, and it doesn't say what happens if both parties are equally intoxicated.

By the end of the piece I can't tell what it's advocating. Then again I find the notion of public and semi-public 'safe spaces' to be ridiculous. Private property is a safe space. A group of friends, a club, or an organization either in a home or a reserved space can be 'safe.' You do not have the right to lord some kind of 'old-style nerd' personality qualification over your workplace.

"I never expected the politics of equality that I believe in to result in me ending up being discriminated against." First of all, I don't think it's fair to conclude that there was discrimination in this case. Having said that, I think the above statement is incredibly naive. That is what the 'politics of equality' are designed to do at the professional level - discriminate. At the academic level that is not the case. There, it is about opportunity to become a viable candidate for the professio…

So a woman who doesn't fight and isn't killed is more of a victim than a man who does fight and is killed because he agreed to be in an army beforehand? I guess when I lose a bet on a boxing match because the fighter who I bet on gets his neck broken, I'm more of a victim than the paralyzed boxer. I'm going to go ahead and assume that your friend has never served in any capacity and has known few to none who have.

Goddamn psychotic. He asks a female colleague to write a piece with him about a topic he is interested in. She completely ignores him, and he's irritated by that. RAPE CULTURE. I am terrified by how prevalent this kind of thinking has become.

And don't forget, they were stabbed to death. 4/6 victims were men. 3/6 victims were killed with a knife. The political beneficiaries of this tragedy are really trudging hard over the graves this time.

Bingo. And every sentence of his manifesto screams psychopathy. He is obsessed by every detail of every perceived slight or "betrayal." He is able to fool suspicious authority figures multiple times by telling them what they want to hear. He has no empathy whatsoever. He also denigrates blacks at some length in the manifesto, but you don't hear much about that. These kinds of killers frequently latch onto dehumanizing points of view because it suits them. Hence the language that is supposedly "m…

Correct, not exclusive. And neither are particularly relevant. He also said that he would take revenge on "all of humanity." His manifesto lays his psychopathy bare and reads very similarly to Eric Harris' journal. Perceived slights and "betrayals," unbelievable narcissism. He refers to himself as a god multiple times. His language toward either sex is such a lame distraction that the media has given us.

I seriously doubt that you have read his manifesto if that is what you came away believing. It is ridiculous to describe his motivation as hating either men or women. He was an incredibly narcissistic psychopath who had planned to kill his little brother so that he would not grow up to "surpass" his "legacy" by having sex and successful relationships. It was all about him not being the center of the universe and about his ruminating on perceived disgrace for years.

As with all other social justice-inspired language, it's a term that silences and demonizes normal people engaging in normal conversation - and that is by design. Are you a know-it-all? Are you a woman? You go girl. Are you a man? Stop hating women.

"King’s callous opinion about Farrow’s account is revealing of the kind of tightrope that victims must walk to be taken seriously — to be believed." Remember everyone, don't criticize either the style or substance of a particularly outlandish accusation.

The biggest problem in this case, and a huge problem for men in general when it comes to the justice system, is the reliance on witness identification and testimony. Here the victim herself identified an innocent man, yet we are bombarded daily with refrains of 'believe victims unquestioningly.' Eyewitnesses and even victims are incredibly unreliable and we all know it. Were I on a jury, I would have a very hard time sending someone to prison without corroborating evidence.

I'm not impressed and it seems to me that she has a penchant for hiring unprofessional women (and also one for giving in to their behavior). I have worked for and with men and women of all types in 50+ offices for extended periods as a perma-lance employee. I have seen both sexes be lazy and entitled. I have seen both take credit for others' work. The worst, most gossipy boss I have ever had was a man. Whenever he perceived an interpersonal issue he would take an individual employee into a close…

I'm very impressed by Dr. Fiamengo's ability to keep her composure; this is beyond frustrating to watch. How someone who claims to teach John Stuart Mill can so completely lack an understanding of what free speech means is beyond me.

I completely agree with you in general, but I am not convinced about this particular scene in the TV series. I will have to go back and watch again, because I don't recall Cersei relenting (I could be wrong, of course).

I do not want to see this group, or anyone for that matter, fall into the trap of black-and-white rape vs. not rape based on things like level of intoxication, aggressor status, physical strength, emotional state, etc. That should not be what we are about.

That outlier also may have been referring to the scene as depicted in the books, as many other commenters have been.

Very good article. As a man in his very late 20s, it has frustrated me to no end that almost all of my friends and colleagues would agree that the example (woman passively consents to sex after prior refusal) is in fact a rape. I try not to discuss these things because I will be ostracized, but just yesterday a male friend referred to the 'rape culture' as though it was a given. Pretty scary.

That is some seriously insidious bullshit. "Just don't do anything wrong and you have nothing to worry about." Just don't say, do, buy, research, or think the wrong thing and you'll be perfectly safe. Frankly it makes me sick.

The very short article also devotes significant space to the timing of the husband's demand. The only position I feel comfortable taking on this is "I don't know the law well enough to know what the basis for the decision was, and this article makes him sound like a sleaze."

If the court established that the agreement was signed under duress, then there is nothing wrong with the ruling.

I don't want to just chime in and complain, but I'm disappointed that the top post in this sub for most of the day is a tumlrinaction cross-post about an individual lunatic.

I respect your opinion, but having read through almost the entire thread, that's not what I see happening. In fact I see most commenters taking extra care to add things like "if it happened of course that's horrible" just to prevent backlash. It might be the way it's reported in the article, but the story is on the absurd end of the spectrum - you've got to expect some jokes and roll with it.

Resorting to crying "victim blaming" is not the path we want to take. Some of the comments in that thread are regrettable, but most are (quite reasonably) questioning the validity of the accusation. When a story smells funny, we should all be free to discuss it and those involved without fear of name-calling.

I appreciate the time and effort that he put into this, but it is written with the style of a sniveling malcontent teenager. His points could (and have) been made succinctly and in professional language.
