Ohh so you had an abortion? I didn't realize you were female. Do you carry around a lot of guilt and regret? Does it damage your relationships?

Wow that's a really interesting point that they think men are the gatekeepers of commitment. I have never even thought of that. What's your interpretation on what they think of commitment? I mean, is commitment a sacred thing to them? Or does it not matter but it's their power card they can play to combat women's power card of sex? Is commitment something they don't want but women want since they don't have it - and thus sex is something they want since women are the gatekeepers and they don't h…

Oh yeah. I think that can apply to any situation with any person. I personally used to think sleeping around was wrong (for anyone), slutty, whatever, and I used to believe relationships were simple: If he cheats on you, dump him, it's easy and you'll never talk to him again! Wow I was SO. WRONG. I only learned through actually experiencing the things I was making such judgments about.

Abortion change women a lot, and creates extra baggage. Better to be with woman that hasn't had an abortion at all. Or a miscarriage. If it can be avoided. Women that sleep around more are more likely to have had one or the other. ...What?? You spend way too much time watching TV and believing all of that propaganda trying to insist that women will inherently feel guilt or regret for the rest of their life.

I am severely incapable of getting jealous or possessive, so a woman who wants me to be those things will be disappointed I'm not so sure this is something that many women want in a man. I think they are traits that TRP thinks women desire, and that not having them somehow makes women lose it because they can't handle that level of non-obsession over them. But in reality nobody wants someone who is obsessed with their every move.

The confusion comes because TBP sees TRP criticizing women for this but not criticizing men. Absolutely. And this certainly isn't limited to TRP. I'm not sure what their philosophy is on why women are "worse" if they sleep around, but men are "better" if they sleep around - but it's clear they do think this. A lot of times I see this damned-if-you-do and damned-if-you-don't mentality in TRP, where if a woman sleeps around she's a slut. If she doesn't sleep around it means she's inexperienced and…

I did. You ignored it and brushed it off because "you couldn't talk about it" So you keep creating this scenario where you refuse to talk about it, then demand I do research, which I bring to you, which you say you can't talk about, which I ask why, and then you tell me to do my own research.... See the cycle? Makes no sense. Let me know if you actually want to talk about infanticide.

It sounds like you might not understand the issue from the synopsis (which, to be fair to you, is quite short and abstract). The issue is that a single story of an individual is presented, which describes a person who climbs a corporate ladder and achieves success. The story is presented to different groups. One group receives the story with the person being female, the other group receives the story with the person being male. Upon describing and reflecting on how they think about the character…

I'm not sure if you've read the book (and thus understand the studies behind the premise of the book), but it's not about women just thinking they can bark out orders to people and expect to be followed. It's about women climbing the same social and employment ladder that men do, the exact same way, and reaching the top only to be called "bossy" instead of a "leader", because the traits they express are not in line with female stereotypes. So a man can have these traits or perform these actions …

I'm not sure if you are aware of this - but this entire post is about Sheryl Sandberg (sp?), who wrote a book called Lean In. It is full of studies which she includes in her discussions. Have you read this book yet? because the book and studies included in it are what this discussion is about.

Men are called pussies for showing certain emotions, for example. That is something I see men in this subreddit complain about constantly.

Nobody said anything about the social meaning of infanticide. I'm asking you about the legal definition of infanticide. That's why I said, "could you tell me more about the legal background/basis for women-only infanticide?" Why can you not talk about the legal definition of infanticide?

I don't doubt that your questions are valid, and I understand there can always be room for some small thing not taken account of.. but why on earth would you think that the studies would be so obviously flawed? I mean, you and I could talk for days and days about this. I could bring up study after study and if you kept to this pattern, you'd keep brushing off each one saying "well what if?" There must be a point at which you agree with a preponderance of evidence.

I meant *subjective, not objective about psychology. You aren't literally saying they mean nothing, but you keep saying they are either "subjective" or suggest they are no source of authority on this matter. In short, you are saying: just because these studies show that women performing the same actions as men are judged/interpreted more negatively doesn't mean it's true. I should ask you something to get a bigger picture on what you are working with here: Have you read the book "Lean In"?

Right - and you think psychology is objective. Do you also think neuroscience is objective? Have you ever studied it or do you know what it entails? Neuroscience is not just "brain surgery".

OHHH you think this is merely psychology! No, this is neuroscience. I mentioned that earlier, I believe. Or maybe in another comment here. A lot of these studies are done combining neuroscience to get a better objective measurement. I mentioned T-mapping because it's a type of neurological testing that looks at actual brain reactions that show up as electric stimulation. So yes, you can objectively measure things.

Ok, so it's very hard to work with an opinion here, particularly when we're referencing actual studies that are done in order to weed out opinion and subjectivity, and replace it with objectivity. We are all aware that many studies can be flawed in some way, but I think we can also be aware that many studies to a great job of weeding out externalities (such as your opinions) in order to get objective answers without a lot of "buts" and "ifs".

I am fully aware of the meaning of the word bossy, and I am not saying that it can never apply to women - or men. I'm saying that there is a bias as to when and to whom it is applied to. I am saying that women in leadership positions are more often called "bossy" than men in leadership positions, despite performing the same actions of men.

I'm in the middle of work so I'm only responding briefly on a part of this, but... A negative stereotype that women shouldn't be leaders, so leading women are called 'bossy No - it's actually not that they shouldn't be leaders, it's that their actions are interpreted differently, and that there are expectations on how to act.

I get what you're arguing for - that women may say something in a different tone, but I can assure you that the studies that covered these things took that into account. They work very hard to ensure they do not make claims or perform studies that clearly ignore something important such as tone of voice. That isn't some "revelation" nobody has thought of before. ....I would say the issue for most women is not understanding the difference between bossy and assertive. I don't know exactly what you…

A lot of people subconsciously interpret a woman leading as being bossy, but a man put into her place doing the same thing is interpreted as having leadership. It is not necessarily an intentional thought process or action, but it's based on gender stereotypes and expectations. Similarly, if a woman shows concern or emotions she might be seen as caring, whereas men who might show concern or emotions could be dubbed as "weak" (I know MRA's have a huge problem with this negative reaction).

Hey, if you don't mind I'd like to mention something that I don't think people know or understand much about. Due to historical differences between men and women, and thus expectations, the actions that a man makes vs the same actions a woman makes can be interpreted very differently.

Correct, the required selective service imposes limitations on men. However, one of these limitations is not voting, which is the point I wanted to make clear because it was a specific point made by a user here, claiming "Men can only vote if they sign up for the draft".

Consequently by definition all perpetrators are male By the new definition, perpetrators are not all male. But the lack of mentioning that rape can occur with forced entry results in only clear-cut scenarios, where men can rape men, men can rape women, women can rape men (with an object or finger), or men can rape women with an object or finger.

I'm sorry you feel that way. For perspective, you should know that it's antagonistic and does not foster a positive discussion.

I've been replying to many comments. More often than not, I get zero replies to my comments. Did you see where someone said "Men have to sign up for selective service to vote"? That is completely untrue, and I questioned the validity of his statement, and was downvoted, despite his absolute untruth. From my viewpoint, it's hard to put in much effort in writing when it doesn't seem like people are really interested in the truth or what I write.

Thanks for asking about this. Is dated from 2001, over 10 years ago. Can this be updated? Maybe with an update there can be a gauge of whether there's been an improvement by comparing statistics? Link does not actually link to relevant statistics, only overall statistics of "persons" with no distinction between men or women. The PDF has no distinction, nor does the press release. The link only claims that "women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships wi…

Hi! This is a long list with some great points, some I'd like to ask you about. The right "not to be offended" in the workplace. What do you mean by this? I don't know what this means, esp in context. The right to women-only clubs/gyms/accommodations. I always thought this was a strange concept, particularly discounts for cover-fees, which as I'm aware of has been dubbed illegal at this point. But I could be wrong about that being widespread in the US. The responsibility to get over their past a…

So you're saying that the problem is that the stereotypes of men's emotions are the only thing that is addressed, and that mens actual legal rights should be addressed as well?

Hope I can step in here - is there such a thing as "Toxic Femininity"? or some equivalent word to describe it?

Since the beginning of history, there has been gender inequality due to the physical difference between the sexes, which led to different societal expectations from men and women. Yes, absolutely this, times 1000. This I believe is the source of the differences. I think the rise of feminism, like you pointed out, was clear-cut - to bridge the gap created in order to give rights to women who were denied many by men/the system. Hence the name, etc. As you pointed out the source of differences betw…

Hi, thank you for this response and perspective about the sub as a whole. I think you articulate a large-scale and trickle-down effect very well, where the efforts for certain benefits might shadow the benefits of others. My personal feelings about this are often mixed, and certainly depend on the situation. Often I hear how feminists should also be fighting for mens rights (not saying that they don't), and I agree, but at the same time I find it sometimes distracting and burdensome to expect a …

So you think it's more that superiors are protecting superiors, rather than men protecting men? For starters, it has to do with a commander being more concerned about having a fighting force that carrying out justice, and as such much justice is tossed aside in favor of less just alternatives. I'm not sure what you mean by this exactly. Do you mean the commander wants his squadron, for example to be ready for military action which is more important than prosecuting a non-inherently-military matt…

My purpose of pointing out that link, and describing that story, is that MattClark linked me to a list of Mens Issues. One of those issues was this: Military charges more men with bogus rape claims to show that it takes sexual assault seriously. Now I'm not saying that is untrue, however I'm providing a story that is very contrary to this claim - stating that the military actually isn't charging more men with bogus rape claims, that many claims actually go unpunished and unrecognized. So when yo…

Few things are more frustrating than claims being brought forward without any sort of proof or logic. Absolutely. But I will say - there was an individual who made the claim that women can vote freely, but men can only vote if they sign up for the draft, which is absolutely false, yet kept getting repeated here. I tried to correct this person in suggesting they might be wrong, but was immediately downvoted, despite him being incorrect. I think that is a good example that we should all steer clea…

I found this article (I don't believe this is a great source however), which is of an 18 year old woman convicted of rape against another woman: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-31150/18-year-old-woman-convicted-rape.html I wish I could find out more information about this regarding how they applied the law. I'm assuming that they accused the woman of being an accomplice of rape, since it appears the law only allows for that, however the article does not state it.

So this is by definition, a woman cannot do this, right? At the least, this is a change in the US: http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/09/living/chris-brown-female-on-male-rape/ stating, In 2012, the FBI's Uniform Crime Report made a significant stride by redefining rape as: "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." Under the Laws Regarding Rape in wikipedia, I thoug…

Does sentencing go along with this definition? By that I mean, are women not sentenced of raping anyone?

This is interesting and strange. Does this sort of law take into account woman-on-woman rape at all, since it is less clear about woman-on-man rape?

It is a very sad thing to hear that anyone dies in the workplace. On the same token that men are brainwashed for sex-typed activities, behaviors, etc, I think we can agree that women are also brainwashed in a different but equally damaging way. That being said, I'm not sure how a statistic about gender-related deaths is useful as a cry of inequality. Are you saying you want the statistic to be equal - an equal number of men and women die on the workplace?

To be fair, Title IX is not gender specific, though clearly was a tool for bringing in rights where women did not have them in the 70's. I remember my mother talking about how before Title IX, there were hardly any opportunities for women to do anything, and she hated it. She couldn't play sports or do half of what women have the option to do now because it was all relegated to men, even teacher positions were mostly slotted for males, as were most other employment positions ( a huge reason of w…

Are you sure about voting? It is my understanding that signing up for selective service and registering to vote are two distinctly separate things, and that it's a common misconception among young students that registering to vote automatically registers you for the draft. edit: Not sure why this is downvoted. Both men and women have the right to vote automatically. u/You_forgotpoland is incorrect about men having to register for Selective Service.

I should clarify that that comment was building off of MattClark's 22000 word list of mens issues, one of them being that the military is pushing rape cases more to seem like they are being "fair" to women.

I think that's a very insightful viewpoint that is often overlooked. It made me wonder if there is an equal yet opposite situation for women (i.e. lack of respect towards physical / work capabilities?) as well?

I'm trying to remember - keep in mind, I am not trying to speak factually, but have an editorial discourse here - I believe there may have been a suggestion that due to the low numbers of women in the military, the structure and social dynamic of the military is very much a "boys club", and this structure allowed this male individual to collude with his other male cowokers to create a situation where the woman could not testify against him, or take him to court, or even appear sane.

Huh, so feminism assumes all men are rapists, victim blamers, etc? I don't think that's appropriate for anyone to cast a blanket of assumptions over an entire gender, but to clarify - is that what you mean? That they do this? I think suicide is an interesting issue, in that a higher number of women attempt suicide, but a higher number of men die from it. My train of thought makes me wonder if - since suicide relies on chemical interaction or mechanics of something - women were unsuccesful becaus…

Before reading the entire thing, I did notice something really interesting which I read about recently - rape in the military. It's my understanding that many rapes go un-charged and un-punished. I don't know if you saw, but a woman posted her story about being raped/harassed in the military on Reddit, where the man (higher level of authority) went completely unpunished, insisted she was out of line, sent her to a psych ward or something, and made it seem like she was crazy and had the authority…

Oh this is quite interesting (I don't mean that in a good way though). I recently watched a long documentary about infanticide. In reality, infanticide is performed by both men and women (Infanticide (or infant homicide) is the intentional killing of infants. Neonaticide, killing within 24 hours of a child's birth, is most commonly done by the mother whereas infanticide of a child more than one day old is slightly more likely to be committed by the father.[1]) In many countries around the world,…

So in short, are you saying that Blue Pill boys are all some version of a white knight or wanna-be alpha male? Also, your last paragraph makes sense on its own, but is kind of confusing. You're telling me you dislike these Blue Pill Boys trying to fit into society's ideal of an alpha male instead of forging their own path, but then seem to suggest that a more traditional societal ideal of women/men is good yet lost to current (lazy? stupid?) societal ideals. Is that right?
