10	Highly upvoted post in the EMSK subreddit - batteries included, as well as straw men, pedestaling, explaining what love is, emotional abuse, torture. But wait, there's more: "A healthy human being doesn't use sexual strategy." I have only been browsing here but isn't TRP about NOT playing games? Rather than about playing games back? So if a person, male or female, starts playing games with you, rather than eating it up you stop and say 'actually, I don't need this.' and focus on the self rather than trying to manipulate other people to fall for you? The best way to make other people male or female attracted to you isn't to fawn over them, nor is it to manipulate them with psychology, but rather just to concentrate on …	/r/TheRedPill	30/06/14 09:08 PM
11	"Men with large testicles are less involved fathers, while small-balled guys are more nurturing: study." The study of 70 men (!!!) used to dehumanize an entire gender. A sample size of 70 doesn't necessarily indicate a flawed study. I could do a sample of 70 men and confirm that 100% of those men had penises, which would confirm my hypothesis that men are overwhelmingly more likely to have penises than not penises. You have to remember in the world of research any single paper shouldn't be heralded as gospel, and often with limited resources a study will seek to test a hypothesis to see if there is any potential for a statistically significant effect. You don'…	/r/MensRights	11/09/13 01:28 PM
-6	Stop womens quotas in EU TBH I've been in and out of /r/MensRights for a few years under a few different aliases and have read Farrell and used to be really passionate about it telling my friends about the sub... but these days there is a lot more brigading going on and it's well... embarrassing. Top voted comments on threads used to be people fact checking and ensuring that we were being rigorous - that we would be better than so many hate mobs that just spew rhetoric with no evidence, these days its 'Here Here! Take t…	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 05:36 PM
1	Stop womens quotas in EU There are more female graduates in accounting and finance, and entering the profession at entry level, which kinda contradicts your assertion they don't choose to follow those fields? (They are still in a minority at partner level)	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 05:19 PM
0	Stop womens quotas in EU Snappy retort. Accounting and management actually.	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 05:06 PM
-3	Stop womens quotas in EU "I reject your reality and substitute my own"	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 04:14 PM
-5	Stop womens quotas in EU No, I'm not. It's the same argument. They're not being discriminated against, the reason they're not filling the jobs is because relative tot heir male competition they're not competent enough. You were saying quotas are only brought in where there is a lack of competence. I gave an example where this was not the case. You modified your argument to say that actually, quotas in this case were not necessary because women aren't being discriminated against. Do you see where I'm coming frm? The curr…	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 04:07 PM
0	Stop womens quotas in EU But you just said that quotas only exist where the group are incompetent? If you have to set a quota, it means the people from a particular demographic are on a large scale not competent enough for the job. You are now making a different argument, which is that women don't need quotas because they're not discriminated against. I will agree with you that quotas are not necessary if the status quo has no inherit biases. So the question: does recruitment and advancement - and in particular in this …	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 03:52 PM
2	Stop womens quotas in EU Honestly know what you're saying, and I think it's fair to say it could be the case, but I would draw the line at saying there IS a larger standard deviation with relation to business acumen for men unless we'd proved it. We can argue against quotas fairly easily (someone has linked a great study further down indicating forced board changes diminishes perceived firm value - e.g. forcing boards to conform to rules is a bad thing) without having to pull together wishy washy arguments that we both …	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 03:19 PM
4	Stop womens quotas in EU That's demonstrably not true though. This isn't a brigading subreddit, we should be rigorous. To demonstrate: imagine 1950s Southern States. Blacks are denied access to good jobs, because they are black. To combat this a new quota is brought in, for example for policing. The quota does not mean that blacks were incompetent to be deputies. Of course it doesn't imply that blacks ARE competent either. But lets stick to the facts and give good criticism of a quota system, instead of making up argume…	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 03:08 PM
5	Stop womens quotas in EU What that really means is that women cannot compete with men on an equal playing field. It's simple biological fact. Do you have a source? I understand your logic, but I've never seen any evidence that business acumen is correlated with gender.	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 02:56 PM
-6	Stop womens quotas in EU If a woman is more competent today, she will already get the job. The shareholders doesn't care about the gender of the board members., they care about profit. Is this demonstrably so? There are plenty of examples of nepotism in corporate governance. Essentially 'I'll go on your board and not raise any questions and you can come on my board'. I just find the notion that boards are rational economic actors to fly in the face of established evidence is all. Source: studied corporate governance at …	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 02:52 PM
0	Stop womens quotas in EU That's true and I pointed out could be an unintended negative consequence. There's no reason to assume that the females would be turned down because they are women. This is basically the crux of the argument. I think the academic consensus is that companies stack the cards against women because they're women. But that consensus might be wrong. Quotas would tend to be introduced as a reaction to a (perhaps flawed?) assumption that the status quo is stacked against some group.	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 02:48 PM
-1	Stop womens quotas in EU That is a rigorous and compelling argument.	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 02:02 PM
-9	Stop womens quotas in EU Do you have a source for that? I mean, I looked at quotas during my degree (management and accounting) and understand a little bit about them, but someone has replied to me below that they always result in worse hires. I'd just like to know if there was more recent evidence to support this (as its broadly seen as an effective - but not flawless - tool in academia) or if its just common knowledge?	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 02:00 PM
-10	Stop womens quotas in EU I'm not sure you've understood my post, as I've just shown why that may not be the case. You may well argue that it creates the unintended problem that you've highlighted, but that's not to say that it always does. From Wikipedia: Affirmative action is intended to promote the opportunities of defined groups within a society to give them access equal to that of the privileged majority population. Again, I'm not advocating quotas. I'm explaining why they may increase the net competence of all hire…	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 01:44 PM
-19	Stop womens quotas in EU The theory is that women would tend to be as competent as their male counterparts, but they are undesirable hires / candidates for advancement because they are women. Therefore if the candidates are like this: competence index / gender 80 / male 77 / female 76 / male 72 / female 64 / male 63 / male 61 / female for a board of four people, in the biased system you end up with four men whose net competence is actually worse than in a quotad system where you end up with two men and two women. I'm no…	/r/MensRights	03/09/13 01:11 PM
55	AskFeminists didn't like my question, I guess... Remember that /r/feminism does not necessarily equate to feminism. Online discussion boards tend to attract the angry and the vocal. You wouldn't take /r/atheism to be representative of all atheism afterall. Totally not defending the moderators of the sub, but basically the criticism should be at them in this case rather than any movement.	/r/MensRights	02/09/13 12:44 PM
