"I did the Selective Service for YOU, baby!"

Yes, even today we men sacrifice our fate by signing a piece of paper that has no impact on our lives if signed after 1973.

I don't find that link especially credible given that it's unsourced. It's certainly not perfect, but it comes from a website hosted by Ohio State University, so it beats a random internet person. :P I actually can't find anything at all on why men got the vote to begin with. Apparently no one who uses google gives a shit. Wikipedia certainly offers nothing substantial. The reason should be obvious: the American government was originally all-male. Why many societies on earth are patriarchal is s…

While I think you've brought up an interesting subject with a well-written thesis, the conclusions you draw seem to diverge from that of the author. The fact that you use only the results of the two studies is worrying (given that you have no experience with the subject matter, I am not very confident about your analysis and conclusions). Finally, you're clearly making a large number of assumptions about the nature of men and women, and the cultural motivations for benevolent sexism that you hav…

Not at all. I think it's important to remember that perception of war in the past was very different from how it is treated now; it wasn't until after WWI that popular culture really hated war. Most anti-suffragists were not too interested in war, but believed that physical differences in men and women, and that women would "interfere" with the men's world [1]. EDIT: In addition, there are a ton of men who never fought in any war and voted. If voting is contingent on willing to fight and possibl…

Your example is not relevant to Western countries (where this study was conducted) since there exists no active draft in the majority of these countries and, at least in the United States, those who were drafted would be about 60 years old now. Nonetheless, there is the distinct disadvantage that women are generally not placed in combat roles as well. It would certainly benefit both men and women because, if a draft were to happen, the army would certainly be stronger (larger pool of candidates …

I think this phenomenon may rather be an artifact of sexist attitudes in our culture. Some people have the misconception that sexism is perpetuated solely by men, when in fact it is maintained by men and women affirming sexist attitudes. Even in the 19th century the majority of women believed that they did not deserve the right to vote. While your argument seems to be characterizing women as "picking and choosing" which sexist attitudes to eliminate, it is more likely that sexism has changed, ma…

Studies typically find that men use "LMR" as much or more than women do... I'd be interested in reading such studies. I can't find much on it since "LMR" seems to primarily be a PUA term.

I've actually done some research involving modelling self-categorization theory, so I do understand the point you are making. That is the source of my original hypothesis: that users in TiA consider themselves Feminists, and so they change the meaning of what Feminism constitutes to reduce mean intergroup differences and increase outgroup differences as per the Meta-contrast principle. I think the problem Sarkeesian faced is not that Feminism isn't inclusive (as it is inclusive to men's issues) …

You said that so I said what I did, I didn't say anything about men being oppressed either. I apologize, I think I worded that badly. What I meant is that while gender roles may have some negative repercussions for men, since they are constructed specifically for men these are fewer than those negative repercussions for women. Of course, the cause is still gender roles which certainly need to be abolished, but in the context of privilege it is generally more important that men examine how societ…

Sorry, I'm confused? I meant that Radical Feminism is transphobic and is generally disliked by the rest of the Feminist community (including myself, btw). I think that leads some people to believe that Radical Feminists must be the ones that they hate, though, and they attribute features they find disagreeable with Feminism to "those radicals." I think that's where the confusion arises. In the process, these groups create their own version of "Feminism" which is inclusive to misogynistic ideas. …

Sorry, I meant that while men face disadvantages due to gender roles, it doesn't mean they are at the same level as women. Society caters to men (the first example I can think of is the "male gaze" in film) so it inherently is disadvantageous to women.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/12/13 09:21 PM

However that's just one aspect of society. Men are disadvantaged is several other aspects of society. For every women that's encouraged to take a back seat in the breadwinner department, there's a man encouraged to be a breadwinner. These are binary cause and effects. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. It's harmful for society as a whole. The difference is that while the role most men have is one of power, women are expected to be in dependent roles. In terms of breadwinne…

Interestingly, many colleges are attempting to balance out genders at the collegiate level by being more critical of women in the college field. In addition, while more women are graduating from college, there is a 10 million person gap in employment rates by gender, even though there are more women available to do jobs than men. My point is that there are a large number of jobs in the nation that carry some institutional power to them -- the government, corporations, schools all are incredibly …

Yeah, that's just not true. Women may have a slight overall disadvantage, but it's definitely difficult to quantify. Ok, here are some facts. Congress: 19% women [1] Production of movies: 18% women [2] Tenured/Non-tenured Professors at Collegiate level: ~30% [3] (changes by institution type) There's an entire field of study dedicated to studying the role of women in societies across the world, I would say that it is fairly simple to quantify the gap between men and women. Both men and women shou…

My point was that women don't need to check their own privilege, they are already far less privileged than men. The fact that the Red Pill seems to shame women for having tons of sex (like the cock carousel) while encouraging men to have lots of sex is an example of their illusory "oppression" under women. Sorry that you get downvoted, I would hope users in a debate sub would upvote both sides even if they vehemently disagree (given that it is a debate sub). As someone who used to try and post o…

Society is run by men. The government, the media, schools... men control everything and shape the world according to their own experiences. Rigid gender roles set by society may negatively affect men, but since these roles were constructed based on men's experiences, women get the short end of the stick. That's a very general statement about SRS. Would you care to clarify?
/r/PurplePillDebate13/12/13 06:30 PM

Just because it doesn't work both ways does not mean that both statements must be untrue. You don't generally see women asked to check their privilege because women are less privileged than men.

Really? I meet people all the time who hate the idea of Feminism, especially here on Reddit. Just try and suggest that white men should examine their own privilege and suddenly there is a deluge of downvotes. Any mention of SRS around Reddit also leads to some of the most angry comments ("they're too sensitive, they hate white men" and such).

It's all an attempt at trying to redefine Feminism in a way that is inclusive to many misogynistic ideas. While some users say it's only picking out the "radical feminists" of the bunch, what I really see it doing is picking out the Feminist behavior that they disagree with. For example. Feminism by nature makes a lot of people angry: people really don't like to hear about how something they have believed or done all of their life is wrong. So, in response, many people try to redefine Feminism i…

Is this the feminism that spans a large number of worldwide organizations that focus on reducing crime, helping those who are disadvantaged, spreading awareness of social issues, and changing the structure of society completely in the last two centuries? If that is 'leading us nowhere,' then I prefer it to where TRP would lead us.

I think you misunderstood me. There's a difference between mandatory service and the opportunity for service. One can oppose mandatory service while also supporting the opportunity for all people to participate in the military.

I'm not Finnish, but is it possible that Feminists simply oppose mandatory military service? Here in the USA, I've noticed there is some overlap between Feminists and those who oppose the draft/selective service.

Actually, I do not believe I have met many feminists that believe women can't rape. I generally see that perspective expressed by conservatives, which a majority of feminists are definitely not. EDIT: In fact, RAINN, a Feminist organization, cites resources that account for female rape offenders in the 2005 National Crime Victimization Survey here.

As has been noted in the past, Sarkeesian often takes tongue-in-cheek writing too far. Reading the fanfic, that is how it appears. If you refuse to post or even understand the context in which statements are made, then you discredit yourself.

I'm just being skeptical of the methodology. Skepticism is good, but some might be unwarranted if experts seem to treat the methodology as effective. Like I said, uncertainty exists but the entirety of the results shouldn't be botched. Would you similarly dismiss any research about the origin of life on Earth because nobody was there to see it and methods used to make such predictions have similar uncertainties? True, but what I mean is since people aren't reacting to the same thing in the same …

If the multitude of studies uses the same wide net that includes things that are not stalking, then they're all inaccurate. If you can't trust the experts on the subject, then almost anything could sound reasonable. Especially since your pool of supported data would be limited to anecdotes and contrived reasonings. Except emotion is exactly what drives the data being surveyed. People don't share the same emotions is the issue. Emotion and reason can be helpful in determining the cause of a stati…

Which are usually surveys with questions like "have you ever received an unwanted gift or phone call". Yet experts consistently use this approach for collecting statistics. It certainly has a degree of uncertainty involved, but that does not mean the entirety of results should be botched. If a multitude of studies can confirm the same trend, then it's harder to argue against them. Seems you're invoking the lack of evidence=claim is false fallacy.

See, I've never seen any studies that may verify such claims. There are plenty of statistics available on stalking victims but searching for anything about false stalking claims comes up with some personal stories and legal advice for false accusations. In terms of academia, the "creep-shaming" camp doesn't seem to me to exist at all.

Creep-shaming. Taking a serious subject like stalking and turn it around to blame the victims of stalking: Especially since the idea of "creep-shaming" is only backed with rhetorical and anecdotal evidence.

That's like saying, It's clear you believe road construction workers construct and work on roads. A road construction worker is defined by what he / she does, not what he / she identifies as. If you're advocating equality for men, you are a MRA whether you like the term or not, because it's a descriptive term, not an ideology. Maybe you consider the term "MRA" to be simply that, but it has been associated with the MRM from its formation in the early 80s. Once again, I can find no sources that as…

Feminists make mistakes as a group. And like many groups, they're too proud to admit it sometimes (a real issue). Of course there are fringe members (I actually like Greer, lol: Although she has become less significant in the Third-wave) but Feminists have made huge contributions to gender issues around the world. To be honest, I'm just someone who takes an interest in Men's rights and equality issues. I'm not a MRA or part of the MRM just so you know. However, I am supportive of the people who …

No problem, lol. I think you might need to do a bit more research before making these statements. It's clear that you only have the most basic understanding of Feminism, and I have a feeling that a lot of that comes from negative descriptions from MRM-affiliated sources. It could also help you formulate better arguments about why the MRM is egalitarian, (since it grew in response to Second-wave Feminism in the 70s and 80s) and may introduce you to whatever women's movement is hiding inside it.

Lol, I was expecting you to bring up some newer group of people identifying as "Women's Rights Activists" and explicitly separating themselves from Feminists while focusing on women's issues. Instead, you reference an older term that basically means Feminist. You can even look at the Wikipedia page which names every single woman on that list a Feminist -- and you'll be surprised to learn that many of these activists would have also believed Patriarchy "theory."
/r/MensRights03/05/13 07:52 PM

You seem to be on a half-century lag. "Women's Rights Activists" changed their name to "Feminists" after the name began to carry negative connotations. Notice how a large majority of those figures are dead now. Heck, the Wikipedia page even says it's part of the series on Feminism.
/r/MensRights03/05/13 07:41 PM

So basically "Women's Rights activist" is a term you made up to make the MRM sound egalitarian, but doesn't actually exist? Great, I'm seeing how egalitarian the MRM is already!

The women's equivalent is Women's rights activists who - would you believe it - look at equality issues for women, addressing equality issues that affect women, which I'm aware there are plenty of. Could you point me to any explicitly Women's rights resources/organizations? I have never heard of a movement separate from Feminism called that, and I can find any evidence of that movement through Google.

At what point does decision making, responsibility, choices that got an individual into that situation change? When she consents while not drunk. Again, it doesn't guarantee she was at fault in the accident or whether the man got consent to have sex with the drink woman, but it does increase the probability of poor decisions in general but one example shows her as responsible for the consequences that led from her decision to drink and the other completely externalizes the responsibility to anot…

Except for the fact that she would not have been in that situation if not for drinking. This is not forcible rape in the way that there was physical resistance from the victim. The victim was largely unconscious and therefore had no will at the time. So while it is still a crime, it is not the same crime as attacking someone and dragging them into an alley. After seeing the personal stories from people who were raped while drunk or unable to fight back, I'd say the lasting emotional impact is ve…

All right, go from the definition "no means no" and "silence doesn't mean yes." That's a good starting point, and the definition that Feminists are trying to spread awareness of.

Thanks for the response.

The issues of rape and murder are not synonymous. When someone murders, generally they go in with malicious intent: Rapists are not always intending to rape. Most statistics say that 1 in 6 women are raped in American society; if you were to assume that half of those were false allegations (which is the largest statistic any study in the past 20 years has yielded) then it would be 1 in 12. With consideration of the fact that most rapes are committed by people that the victim knows, I think it's …

What I'm saying is that what the current MRM has originated from -- the original movement and set of organizations created in the 80s -- was anti-Feminist, and the movement remains anti-Feminist. I don't really see any time where Feminists could have instigated the opposition of the movement since it didn't exist before it was anti-Feminist.
/r/MensRights10/02/13 05:49 PM

The MRM split off from the Men's Liberation movement because members wanted Men's Liberation to be more anti-feminist. One of the MRM's current leaders, Warren Farrell, was key to this, and actually started some of the original anti-feminist MR organizations. If MRAs really believed they could coexist, the split in the 70s wouldn't have happened.

Perception is certainly important: that's why the pay gap exists in the first place.
