Just remember, Tarzan was being sexually assaulted SO often by adult women at Disney World (a themepark for children) that they removed the character from the park instead of dealing with it.

And it creates an extremely toxic environment and power dynamic whereby female sexuality is a valuable commodity and sex is something to be "given" to someone instead of something to be shared between partners. It supports the entire notion that sex is something that you need to earn and women need to be supported and provided for because they're the gatekeeper.

Nope. Not in anywhere in the west at least. It's accepted that people masturbate. But when a man does it it's considered something shameful that he's doing because he's a horny degenerate that can't find a mate... and when a woman masturbates it's considered empowering because it's a sign she doesn't need a man to take care of her. The dissonance is sad.

Are you comparing male and female criminals, or are you using the same bullshit methodology that I've seen people use to insist that the police everywhere are racist because they shoot more minorities (per capita) than white people? If you're going to get outraged, get outraged for the right reasons.

Actually, there is a very important distinction here that I think is going to get lost in responses regarding the current culture and the prevalence of misandry. Women and men seem to treat relationships differently. There is a different level of emotional attachment that leads to a very different coping mechanism. Men seem to be able to distance themselves from a relationship with a genuine belief that "It just didn't work out" is an appropriate resolution... women struggle with that. At the ri…

I also want a chick that believes in commitment. There is a difference between someone that enjoys sex and has had a few partners or prior relationships to figure out what they enjoy... and someone who'll sleep with anybody with a pulse and a wallet and has a body count a hundred plus long but can't even remember their names.

Because the average man is so pathetically pussy whipped that they'll accept the most ridiculous and toxic behaviour on the slim chance of getting some. If men actually held women accountable for the horrific shit they pull on a regular basis (the demands to be coddled, the emotional manipulation, double standards, and outright abuse), things would turn around pretty damn quickly. But the problem is that for every guy that's willing to remove toxic women from their life, there's three simps will…

Might have responded to the wrong comment, but I wholeheartedly agree with you. I think that people should be encouraged to be a healthy weight, and I think the "healthy at all sizes" movement is 100% copium and extremely dangerous. There's no problem with carrying a bit of extra weight, but obesity and all cause mortality are very highly correlated.

So HER "very big deal breakers" are specific things that people don't always put in their profiles. Some of which don't matter (can't drive) and some of which are very personal (has kids). I've met 100x as many women that can't drive, and 10x as many women that have "secret kids" as I have men. And most of them don't put it in their profile either. Sounds like she's just whining and bitching because people don't live up to her highly specific nebulous standards.

The short term answer for criminality is simple. Much harsher penalties for individuals who deliberately violate the law (not talking edge cases here where there was a shoving match and somebody took a swing at somebody, looking at instances where individuals had a true choice, and chose criminality). Penalties for repeat offenders should be even more so. Long term solution is much harder. Educating people that they have an obligation to leave a positive impact on society while simultaneously wo…

Yes sure I'm talking about some more extreme examples not every post secondary institution. I don't know what you mean by "gatekeeping" in nature. What I mean is that there is no objective test for whether or not you pass the criteria. Generally speaking nobody is going to ask "So just how gay are you?" when you apply to the position. If a man applies to the position, he might be asked the question "Do you identify as LGBTQ2+?" and if he answers "yes" to that question, he will have passed the "g…

For some reason you don't believe we have colleges in Canada? The key answer here is "some", there are plenty of post secondary institutions here in Canada that don't have that policy, and those policies are still "gatekeeping" in nature. Thus my advice... you apply to the position. If someone asks about your orientation, you simply indicate that you identify as LGTBQ. Smart organizations will stop the conversation right at that point, stupid organizations might ask "which one", and then you sim…

Not really. Used to hold a seat on a college's board of governors. Diversity was a 'consideration' and always appeared in their publications, but once decisions got to the boardroom table all of those pieces started to drop away. Although larger institutions are worse, all of the discrimination (because that's what it is) is at the bottom, once you manage to tick the box and get through the front door, your qualifications are far more important than whether you're a tri-gendered pyrofox.

So identify as LGTBQ2+ It's that easy, it's literally a check box. It's preformative, these companies don't actually care about diversity as much as people online think they do. What they care about is image and perception. I've been LGBTQ since 2022 with my employer.

This will always be a problem until men develop the maturity to understand that women are using sex as way to control them. When men stop prioritizing having sex so damn much that it shuts off their fucking brain, the leverage disappears. I can assure you that women like sex too... but society teaches them sex is a valuable commodity that should be traded sparingly. When men and women start both seeing sex as something you have together, instead of something a women should give in exchange for s…

Well, if I was the victim I certainly wouldn't be sharing it online either. I don't know that we'll ever see it or that it'll be particularly useful (I imagine it'll just be her walking up to the door, looking through it, then deciding to investigate further by breaking and entering, when she should have just left the order and got the hell out of there). But I'm confident that if the police say she let herself in, that's what the video shows.

You're probably right about the differences in how we raise girls and boys and what the expectations are from a young age. Girls are expected to have their shit together at a way earlier age than boys (and I'd agree that it's unfair, I think it's part of the reason that women typically score higher on the anxiety and neuroticism spectra). Men just don't seem to notice things as much. I've spoken with a bunch of my guy friends about it, and their answer is usually "I just don't see there's a prob…

It's totally fine to have an insane need for organization, just as long as you're not blaming someone else for not establishing the same standard. Similarly speaking, it's okay for partners to set standards regarding things that "need doing" as long as they're willing to work together. The problem with "mental load" is that it often revolves around an unspoken set of expectations that someone in a relationship has for how something "should" be. One of the two partners starts harping at the other…

So, in exchange for ALL these high standards. What the fuck do I get in return?

And absolutely nothing that you've actually mentioned is "mental load". Working, Cooking, Cleaning, Booking appointments.

This is a really stupid conclusion to a problem that you've already identified. It's important that people continue to bring up these issues and try to ignore all of the negativity that's spewed towards them while seeking out places where experiences and discussion can be shared.

Perhaps the saddest part of this new strategy is that they think that this is rebellion, because they believe that someone using "guys" as a gender neutral term is a deliberate slight on women. If there's one benefit here, it's that when they pull these moronic stunts and realize that they had absolutely zero impact whatsoever... perhaps they'll realize that they've finally arrived at the point where they're chasing the ghost of patriarchy long past.

Here's the problem with the notion of "mental load".

Yes and no. From a purely economic perspective, the single-earner household is dead. However, I do think that we should work to encourage men to recognize that they don't have to be the primary breadwinner of their household, that their mental health matters, that they should devote time to the things that make them feel fulfilled, even if that includes "traditionally feminine" hobbies like baking and gardening, or household supporting roles (although those supporting roles will probably include…

Here in Canada it's really simple. Psychology pays very poorly until you reach the doctorate level. The vast majority of therapists and social workers in Canada make less than $50k a year and most of them don't have the acumen to progress further into the sciences. This means that most of the people in these roles are being supported by someone else... and men are looked upon very unkindly when they need someone else to financially support their dreams.

Why should physical strength matter? I could understand if you were trying to punish anti-social traits that were correlated with crime (lack of emotional control and aggression), or you were designing a program to encourage emotional maturity and reintegrate people into society. But physical strength is a moronic measurement. Why should a professional bodybuilder (male or female) get a higher sentence for shooting someone in the head than a flabby couch potato?

Correct, but I don't think that undermines the point. Historically people don't request paternity tests unless there's some question about paternity. The logic for banning paternity tests in France was that it would have a serious impact on French families and society because at the time, >30% (according to some studies) of paternity tests (to handle disputes) would determine that the husband was not the father.

There is a huge difference between "Crooked lawyer who does shitty things but also occasionally defends fathers got disbarred" and "Innocent lawyer who did nothing wrong got disbarred". I understand that you're implying the latter, but a retaliatory disbarment would be extremely unusual. Plenty of lawyers have done absolutely fucking ridiculous and egregious shit and still not been disbarred.

Nearly half of all young adults are single: 34 percent of women, and a whopping 63 percent of men. I think the most amusing comparison is the one that nobody seems be be making. Assume gender split is 50/50 1/3 of young women are unattached, 2/3 of men are unattached If every unattached "young man" were to reinvent himself as the perfect mate and immediately entered a relationship, you would still find that 1/3 of the young male population remains single?

No, I'm not saying that at all. I said men are less likely to report. False reports would be more often. These two statements directly oppose each other and don't correlate with your argument or the author's discussion of the limitation on self reporting.

What legal action are you going to take against a company whose share price is the highest it's even been? Proctor & Gamble's trading at about $115USD, they're up nearly 50% from where they were 6 months ago when the advertisement went live. Gillette may have taken a punch in the face, but it's only one of the many brands that the parent company owns.

The answer (as you've mentioned) is simply to never put yourself in that position to begin with.

His consent to oral sex was based on being told it was person X that was to be providing the oral sex, and instead person Y was doing so. I'd go with rape by deceit rather than coercion though, but that would depend on jurisdiction, I believe some places don't have deceit laws yet. These would be the same sorts of laws that protect women from unprotected sex via a man pulling off the condom mid coitus or lying and telling her that they're wearing one when they're not, their consent is supported …

What cause? I'm pretty sure that most adults aren't standing around calling mentally handicapped people names, when 95% of the people under 40 use the term 'retarded' they're talking about someone acting stupid or doing something without thinking it through. While I understand its not a nice word, its important that as thinking rational people we accept that language evolves over time.

Retard is no longer used in a medical setting, its meaning has changed over the course of the last twenty or so years and is now common pejorative for someone who's acting stupid. People no longer call mentally handicapped people "retards" even though its a pretty apt word for someone who's late developing or not progressing at the same rate as their peers... but the word's use has changed a lot in the last couple decades.

True, I think the most important bit is that people trust forensic science too much sometimes, they often treat is as if its complete gospel and the prosecution certainly will try to suggest that its absolutely conclusive 100% of the time knowing that the people on the jury don't know any better and assume that its a perfect science.

The punishment IS the prevention. If you fail to adequately punish people for doing stupid, dangerous, destructive and violent things, you implicitly fail to discourage others from those same actions. And failing to discourage them doesn't fall very far from encouraging them, especially when modern discourse suggests that committing violent assault is somehow empowering when its done by a woman.

And where do you get that impression? 1 - I'm male, surprised aren't you? 2 - I'm a men's rights advocate amongst my peer group 3 - I feel the draft was one o…

That's the problem though. We can't wave a magic wand and suddenly make people equal any more than we can go back in time and magically alter the course of history so that people were never oppressed in the first place. The only thing we can do if we want an academic, explainable, and easy to apply standard is to take a careful look at each situation and try our best to have people treated equally in every way separately. Lumping all of the issues together just obfuscates and over-complicates th…

Help me certainly. But not when it comes to a physical intervention unless they're seriously intoxicated or emotionally attached to me as a very close friend, significant other or spouse. People vastly undervalue the bystander effect. I'm sure that there are a quite a lot of women that would shout and scream and berate someone for attacking me. But the number that would actually put their own physical safety on the line in a situation where they're very likely to be seriously injured is next to …

Because you're deliberately ignoring this particular issue by trying to address a completely different issue, and trying to marginalize the past problems to try and make the current issues look more grim. Being drafted into war has absolutely nothing to do with pay equity, trying to "tack it on" to the discussion about the current and past pay gaps is disingenuous. Its not true that people in the labour market today wouldn't be exposed to the pay issues that plagued woman 20 years ago. Some of t…

Oh please, lets at least be reasonable and adult about this topic. Its absolutely true that in certain industries (especially in the business sector) women got the short end of the stick even 20 years ago. A lot of things have changed for the better, and in some industries the scales have probably tipped too far. That doesn't mean women didn't have 'other' gender based privileges, but it doesn't mean that we can ignore the past.

Unfortunately this happens far too much in society, the priviledged tend to pay for their priviledge for generations to come out of some sort of twisted idea that its fair to turn the tables on them. What they don't seem to grasp is that you're turning the tables on people who are already dead and gone, and in the process you're being just as nasty and unfair to their children as they were to your own parents long ago...

Two wrongs don't make a right. Regardless of how wrong it was once upon a time to treat women inequally, disregard their skills and pay them less than their similarly skilled male co-workers, its similarly wrong to do the opposite. Fairness isn't about vengence, its about fairness.

Even though I'm not your husband, I'd say that you might just want to sit down with him and tell him one of these days you'd really like flowers, then fuck him solidly breathless and say nothing more. Flowers will appear. (Actually, my fiance never liked flowers, but when I walked past flower shops sometimes on my way downtown I'd bring him one just so that he'd know I was thinking about him. Goes double for interesting flowers growing wild. Or not so wild a time or two.)

Personal Property Some people's response to someone taking something of there's is to kill the person or to beat them within an inch of their life. Stuff can be acquired again, lives cannot.

Complete fucking bullshit. There's a case in the UK where a husband has been forced to give up lottery winnings from a prize that he won YEARS AFTER THE DIVORCE. There's also a case where a husband was forced to give up money that he won in an insurance settlement where he was injured and unable to support himself for the rest of his life.

Why in the world does murder happen still happen? Simple, there are a lot of people in this world (both male and female) who don't give a shit about anyone other than themselves, and to them their personal property, satisfaction and feelings are worth more than any level of hardship or suffering they inflict upon others.

The proper response is "Oh my god! Is she alright? What hospital is she in, I'll send some flowers and a card" Watching her suddenly go all quiet while she tries desperately to think up a better excuse would be so terribly worth it, and if she happens to be telling you the truth you get to prove to her that you're a sensitive keeper who has real emotions and feelings.

So, we have 10 times as many people falsely crying rape as we do legitimate cases? (See what I did there? Statistics like this aren't worth the fucking paper they're printed on, its totally moronic to measure the effectiveness of a legal system based entirely on its conviction rate.

You're missing the point entirely, alimony is not child support. Alimony is money paid to your ex for to compensate -them-. And its a complete fucking joke in this day and age. It was originally intended so that if a man and woman married, and then 40 years later split up, that you wouldn't have a 58 year old career man with a huge income and pension, and a completely destitute 58 year old widow with no skills. Its an archaic concept.

Because sex is never that simple, such an examination provides evidence, not conclusions, and the only real measure of whether or not rape occurred is whether or not both parties consented to sex during the act. It has to do with how rough the sex was, how long the sex was, the impact of the bodies, and how aroused both parties were. If someone comes in with serious internal abrasions and pelvic bruising they either REALLY like it rough, or they didn't like it at all (which usually means they di…

You seem to misunderstand the medical analysis of rape. Forced Penetration =/= Consensual Penetration The angle of penetration and the areas of abrasion differ drastically based on a number of factors. Its very possible that someone who's raped may have a medical exam that doesn't "prove" forced penetration, but that doesn't mean that its impossible to differentiate between the two.

Because once you're in a relationship with someone else it makes us uncomfortable to spend time alone with you.

Also, it comes partly down to a fundemental difference in how women and men 'feel' about their abusers. Men are raised to believe that women are fragile and weaker (its not true, but its a common belief), and as a result most men that suffer from domestic abuse hate -themselves-, they see themselves as too weak to stop the abuse. Most women that suffer from domestic abuse get -scared- first. They may have some guilt issues, but those are starting to fade as our society embraces the idea that its…

Actually, this is only a couple hairs away from complete bullshit. There are certainly men who get into a bad relationship with someone and come out with a hatred of women.
