| 1 | Were Western societies really patriarchal before the 2000's?I would give them a few examples of systemic discrimination privileging women at the expense of men (e.g. sentencing or housing) and ask them to cite examples of films released before 2005 that bring up the issues. Not just about people being wrongly convicted, but about men being wrongly convicted because they are men and justice is biased against them. If they can't, you can question the belief that films were dedicated exclusively for men. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/07/23 02:09 PM |

| 49 | Exploring Gender Bias in Six Key Domains of Academic Science: An Adversarial CollaborationI you have interacted with academia recently, you've probably heard the omnipresent claim that the research field penalizes women in every possible way. I work in a very prestigious university, typically associated with America's dominant class, and this narrative is certainly repeated all the time. Most people understandably believe it. Stephen Ceci and Wendy Williams did an adversarial collaboration with Shulamit Kahn to thoroughly review all the empirical literature on the topic. In general, … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/04/23 08:14 PM |
| 1 | Invisible hurdles: Gender and institutional differences in the evaluation of economics papersThe last sentence is mine, it's not from the article (and I meant to be tongue-in-cheek). The authors seem to believe there is bias against women no matter what, even if their own data suggests otherwise. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/04/23 03:17 AM |
| 14 | Invisible hurdles: Gender and institutional differences in the evaluation of economics papersA new paper about bias from academic journal's editors when evaluating scientific studies. They asked editors to evaluate (real) abstracts when the name of the author is either visible or blinded. The results: making the name visible improves ratings when the author is a woman. The authors provide us with explanations on why it might be the case: "One potential reason for this result is the experimenter demand effects.

Now it's tempting to blame gender bias or gynocentrism, but I'm wondering about other possible explanations.

| 1 | A question regarding IPV: To what extent IPV is done out of self-defense/retaliation?One piece of the puzzle may be how the number of intimate partner homicides have evolved over the last decades. There's a lot of variation depending on the study and the place, but a common pattern is that around the 70s women used to get killed by their husbands much more often than today: https://doi.org/10.1089/vio.2017.0016 (fig. 10) https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/htius.pdf The large decline in women-on-man homicide is usually attributed to the apparition of shelters, hotlines and other… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/04/23 04:13 AM |

| 2 | Black Stereotypical Features: When a Face Type Can Get You in TroubleThat seems relevant to nature vs nurture questions: facial features are (I suppose) due to genetics, so in twin studies they would show up as genetic effects. And yet, the cause-to-effect chain involves racial stereotyping! Be aware of this when considering what part of racial gaps are "explained" by genetics. | /r/Male_Studies | 25/02/23 05:28 PM |

| 3 | The Myth Of Male Power ReviewI haven't read the book, but most of the important empirical evidence I know of is rather recent. Alexandre Flage's meta-analyses of housing discrimination are from after 2018, and use studies conducted after 2007. With some exceptions, most of the quality studies about sentencing discrimination are from the 2010s. Some of the earliest studies on the grading gap I know of are from 2008. And so on.

| 13 | What guy wouldn't want it? Male victimization experiences with female-perpetrated stranger sexual harassmentThere's a lot of information in there, with a mix of qualitative testimony and quantitative prevalence reports. The point I find the most interesting is, as they say in the abstract, "participants reported uncertainty with gender role expectations, believing that they were supposed to enjoy sexual attention but in reality finding it disturbing and unpleasant". It's pretty alarming that male sexual harassment victims may think they're abnormal for not enjoying the harassment. | /r/Male_Studies | 03/10/22 01:35 AM |
| 2 | Stereotypes of Women and Men Across Gender SubgroupsI frequently hear that women academics are seen as less competent by the general public. I though this was a common misconception, as it isn't really echoed by the data I've seen so far. But here, they ask people "what do you think the general public thinks", and they still find that people think other people think women academics and students are more competent. So people are actually aware that the public at large sees women academics as more competent? | /r/Male_Studies | 21/09/22 01:22 PM |
| 2 | A study examines whether there are double standards toward men and women regarding sexual behavior, and finds no bias against women. However, it never examines whether such double standards exist against men, thus demonstrating the very bias it sought to evaluate.I don't get it. From skimming through the study, it seems that they totally find a double standard (that casual sex is seen as more shameful for women, and that celibacy is seen as more shameful for men). The double-standard is not particularly "against" any gender, though it's often presented as against women (no surprise). There are a few symmetric items ("it's best for a girl/boy to lose her/his virginity in her/his teens"). But the purpose here is not to find out whether the double-standard … | /r/MensRights | 16/08/22 08:41 AM |

Most of the research I've read on the topic found that 1) male victims of rape are blamed (much) more; 2) male victims are less likely to describe their own experience as "rape"; 3) men blame the victim more, even when the victim's a man. Here is a relevant study: https://doi.org/10.1177%2F0886260515618214 Worth noting, we found an interaction such that ma… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/07/22 10:57 PM |

| 1 | LWMA LoungeCulture is transmitted from generations to generations by the people who take care of children: mothers and school teachers, both overwhelmingly women. Gender roles are perpetuated and enforced by women. My father never told me "boys don't cry", my mother and my female school teachers did. I've been told all my life that boys are not allowed to complain, and it always came from women.

| 5 | Most detractors of Feminism seem to push more traditional gender roles. Is this good a good thing or no?It's harmful if people are pushing for traditional roles indistinctly, without regard for the actual content of the traditions. But I'd leave some room for discussion about which traditions are bad, which are neutral, and which actually make people happy. For example, it's great to experiment with alternative family models like polyamory, but at some point you'd have to look at the outcome and see if it really makes things better than a classic nuclear family, and not be afraid to change your mi… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/03/22 09:21 PM |
| 2 | The usage of barrier troops and cannon fodder in war proves that male conscription is rooted in male disposability, not in the idea that society thinks women are too weak to handle themselvesEven when you do find armies that employ women, they typically do not place them on the front lines. Has this been documented somewhere? For instance, Rojava's YPJ are female-only battalions, so I guess they have to be on the front lines as well. (On a side note, I'd point out that soldiers from Europe's colonies were also often put in the front lines during WWI. It matches the general pattern that whenever ethnic minorities are over-represented, men are over-represented too.) | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/03/22 03:05 PM |
| 4 | Men and women are not the same.Nice infographics, as always. For the record, this new study by Vishkin et al proposes another explanation. They find the same "paradox" pattern in chess participation, and they argue that part of the pattern is due to less gender-equal countries having a younger population on average, meaning that the younger generations (where women want to do science or, here, chess) make up a larger share of the population. Meanwhile, gender-equal Western countries have a larger share of old people who stick… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/02/22 01:51 AM |

Here are a few takeaways: The number of rapes that actually make it to official rape statistics is the result of multiple layers of filtering: 1) how many men and women get raped? 2) are men and women as likely to recognize their own experience as rape? 3) are men and women as likely to report it? 4) are men and women as likely to be convicted?

There is some evidence that boys are aware of the unfair grading (I was definitely aware of it when I was in school). This sends the message that, if you are a boy, you can never rely on "the system" and you have to make your own way. | /r/MensRights | 05/09/21 04:10 PM |

It turns out that female primary care physicians earned 10.9% less for their practice so one could argue a gender pay gap could be justified. They did spend longer on average with each patient.It seems that women spend more time with each patient, so you could say that men and women earn the same per patient, but that men earn more per minute worked. Now, we can wonder if spending more time with patients translates to health benefits for them, or if it is just about taking it easy and not doing things in a hurry.

They find a bias in grading with p<0.05, but only for teachers with little experience and not in all countries, and they also look for an interaction with the teacher's gender. That's a lot of "researcher's degrees of freedom", and they don't seem to do any correction for multiple testing.

| 4 | Could police brutality be considered a gender issue along with a race issue?>there's no such thing as 'the exact same case' There are studies where mock jurors are asked to give a verdict for a fictional case where only the sex of the defendant is changed.

| 2 | Could police brutality be considered a gender issue along with a race issue?I agree with you (and, all things considered, I have no doubt men commit more violent crime overall than women).

| 25 | Could police brutality be considered a gender issue along with a race issue?What you said also apply to racial disparities (in fact, it's a typical argument from the "alllivesmatter" side). But there are two problems with it: – The statistics on crime are greatly skewed by the discrimination under the justice system. Since men (and black people) are more likely to be arrested, found guilty, sentenced to prison and receive longer sentences, their share of the prison population greatly overestimates their share of actual crime. For example, this study found that men are t… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/09/20 05:38 PM |
