You know, I was going to wait eleven fucking years to reply to your last comment. But then I realised I couldn’t be arsed. Are you aware that you replied to a comment I made eleven years ago? That’s why I made a joke about you being a slow reader. I find it difficult to believe that you weren’t aware of the antiquity of that conversation. But it does make me glad that I unsubscribed to that forum.

Okay. The assumption was that a feminist couldn’t make such a ridiculous defence. Even though many feminists have been doing that for decades. I’m not talking about the video itself. Just the mentality in the comments.

Well, after a little research, it seems that Amber Heard's net wealth is a meagre $14,000,000. So without spousal support she would have little choice other than to sleep on a park bench for the rest of her life.

She came out and said that she only got the extra money because she threatened them. That is publicly damning her employers as sexist, however you look at it. By her own account, she has reneged on the deal she claims to have made. There really isn't that much room for you to keep denying this.
/r/MensRights18/05/16 11:23 PM

It clearly is on the blackmail side. She isn't making the argument for more pay on the basis of her talents, or by doing what men would do and taking their labour elsewhere, but by threatening her employers with a public accusation of sexism. How can you not interpret that is blackmail? It may not be criminal blackmail, but ethically I think it's bang on.
/r/MensRights18/05/16 11:16 PM

Not exactly the way men would negotiate. Men would generally say something along the lines of "pay me what I'm worth or I'll find someone else who will". This of course, entails a certain degree of risk. You could find that your employer is happy for you to go find more money elsewhere. This is not how she dealt with it. She wanted higher pay, but rather than risk finding out what she was actually worth to her employer, either to her advantage or disadvantage, she instead blackmailed them. I'm a…

She is very much implying that Netflix is the villain by publicly stating that she had to threaten them to get equal pay. She is implying that Netflix would not recognise her skill, talent and importance, and that they only responded to the threat of public shaming. How can you possibly think that her comments about this situation were intended to be complimentary to Netflix?

Threatening to embarrass someone in order to get what one wants is blackmail. Getting what you demanded and following through on the threat anyway is a damn good way of ensuring that no-one ever trust you again. She might think she's clever doing this, but in reality she's just poured a large bucket of shit over her own head. There is nothing wrong with negotiationing higher earnings, there is nothing wrong with pointing out the value you offer your employer, and there's nothing wrong with takin…

The pension age in Britain has not been raised for women. Women can still chose to retire at 60 years old and will be able to do so for a number of years to come. Even when it becomes compulsory for women to retire at 65, men's retirement age will increase incrementally to 68. So men will continue to work longer than women. Don't credit feminism with an act of actual equality when they didn't want it, and didn't achieve it. Feminism fought for the right to women to 'chose' to retire at 65, but n…

There's one problem with your assertion regarding her 'conning' him. In the UK if you have a property repossessed by a lender, they are only allowed to take what you owe them, as well as the legal fees for the sale of the property. Once the debt is cleared, any remaining funds go to the original owner of the property. The lender also has a legal obligation to legitimately attempt to sell the property for a fair price (market value). If this woman genuinely undervalued the property as he claims, …

Thirded. They had a formal and legal agreement. This wasn't a 'mates' loan. The loan was contractually secured on the property. He was quite happy to sign the contracts and take the money, but seemingly felt that he did not have to uphold his contractual obligations. Let's not forget that he borrowed the money to get around selling the property to pay off his wife. If he had sold the property for the divorce settlement, he would have been walking away with half the equity in the property rather …

Actually, women are the problem. For over 50 years now men have had it increasingly demanded of them that we not only treat women as equals, but that we should instinctively think of women as equals. Yet men's real world experience of women is often contrary to that demand. To suggest that men 'would do the same' is irrelevant, and in fact misses the point of the study entirely, the point of the study being that in many areas of life men are not as resistant to gender equality as women are, espe…

Women and men often choosing partners for the wrong, or pragmatic and selfish reasons isn't particularly big news. Unless you're a socially awkward 16 year old who's still pissed at the nice girls ignoring you, and who is yet to embark upon all the joys and pains of actual relationships. By all means draw attention to the media if it advocates this behaviour, or use it as ammunition against those of a certain political persuasion who suggest only men behave like this, but let's not pretend that …

The game, called Decision Impossible, involves taking three people, asking them why they deserve the money, then forcing them to decide amongst themselves who should win.

In recent years I've come across an increasing number of women who, after marrying, have started secreting money into a 'private' bank account which they call a 'running away fund'. First, I find it disturbing that it seems to have a consistent name. But why should I be surprised about this. Probably an idea that's been propagated in bloody women's magazines.

No. She relinquishes all parental rights as she would if a third party adopted the child. If she wanted visitation rights but he was the main custodian, then she pays child support to him. The same really as if she did not want the father to be involved at all. In that scenario he is recused as a father but also as a financial contributor.

Unfortunately you cannot have entirely equal rights in this area because women have wombs and men do not. So I believe we should attach rights to areas of responsibility. Abortion: It is a woman's body and therefor I believe she has the right to unilaterally choose abortion.

There are many reasonable points here, of course. But a lot that makes me cringe. Can we please not exaggerate our 'plight'. For example: When someone asks me how I am doing, I always say “I can’t complain.” Not because everything is okay, but because due to gender roles. No. You say "I can't complain" because that is social etiquette. No-one asks you that question because they want an enormous list of your physical ailments or a lengthy monologue about your current feelings. I lived with a girl…

How did we get to this point in society where one sees accusing men of rape easier than taking responsibility for their actions? That's easy to answer. For over 40 years, the feminist movement has preached and screeched the lie that 'women don't lie about rape' to the point where it has literally become socially unacceptable to express any other view.

As always the media still play up women as victims. Not in this case. The article is presenting a perfectly valid argument for taking false allegations seriously, and the article does not shy away from acknowledging the serious consequences to men of false accusations. This is not one of those articles that suggest false allegations should be swept under the carpet by using the 'real victims' argument.

Sadly, this is the way political movements go. I've been noticing a lot more of this around here recently. It's what happens when people start defining themselves by a single cause. One only has to look at the women's movement to see that. Upvoted for objectivity rather than fanaticism.

The author of the article seems to have completely misunderstood the Fiat Abarth ad. The woman is the car. It is the car that 'slaps' him in the face and then seduces him. I thought that was pretty clear when he 'woke up' at the end to find himself looking at the damn car.

I understand and agree with you about the evolutionary psychology behind 'buyer's remorse' with regard to women. But what I was more interested in here is the notion of consent and non-consent in real terms. I am sick of the 'no means no' mentality, in the sense that feminists assume that consent is always straightforward, timely, never implied, and that women never instigate sex after having expressed reservations.

How old are you and how diverse are your sexual experiences? Here's how. You've been seeing a girl for a few weeks. She's made it clear that she doesn't leap into bed with every guy she dates. But she doesn't mind getting into bed with you. Just not for 'sex'. But that's okay. It's easy to work out the boundaries she set, surely. And as a decent guy, you respect them.

Isn't it their whole argument that women arn't weak and helpless like they've been portrayed? Actually, no. That isn't the feminist argument. I have no idea where you got that notion from. Feminism claims that women are benign objects who are acted upon by men. That women are the victims of male brutality, and never themselves the perpetrators of violence. At the core of feminism is the concept of rape, and men maintaining control of and subjugating women by means of physical violence and rape, …

It isn't sexism. It's based on the verifiable fact that young male drivers (17-24) cost insurance companies over 4 times more in claims. This is NOT discrimination based on gender, but on accident rates. Given that young drivers have no driving history, insurance companies have to assess their risk by other methods. Now what IS sexism is charging men who do have a long and clean driver history over £800 more than a woman with exactly the same criteria. I know this is true because I tested it aro…

In the UK over 70 pence of every pound spent in the retail sector is spent by women ON WOMEN'S GOODS. That's why the high street and shopping malls are filled with women's shops. That's why women's clothes are prominent at the front of the store and men's clothes are tucked away at the back, in the basement, or upstairs.

In Britain at least, the radial feminist uniform became close shaved head, dungarees and Doc Martin boots. Unfortunately they didn't do a …

Actually, I've heard plenty of feminists argue that it is also detrimental to men, being 'forced' to conform to male physical stereotypes (the 'men are victims of the patriarchy too' argument). Of course, feminists know that men generally have enough self-esteem to not give too much of a fuck about this stuff. They seem to think that we'll accept the existence of patriarchy if we men too are occasionally granted 'victim status'. Victim Status Second Class, that is. Victim Status First Class is s…

Marriage is now being seen by various Men's Rights Activists as economic and psychological slavery of men, and therefore many men are advocating boycott of marriage.

I'm not sure who it is that the OP is trying to convince here. Preaching to the choir or trying to persuade feminists. If it's the latter than may I point out that it is completely bloody pointless. The first thing a feminist is going to say on seeing this is that it was men who started the bloody war in the first place. They will then fall back on their second argument, which is that men themselves are the victims of patriarchy, and should be more like women.

But how many of the attending male crowd indulge in violence? In Britain during the 70s and 80s we had a massive problem with football violence.

Forcing someone into unwanted parenthood should be a criminal offence regardless of the gender of the perpetrator. I do not believe it should be considered rape, as the sexual act itself was consensual. Laws regarding this vary from State to State. However, many feminist activists and lobbyists believe that it should qualify as rape, and many already define this behaviour as an act of rape. But only if a woman is the victim, of course.

I didn't say it was the same thing. It is an example of how, generally, violence has obviously become less tolerated in our society.

That isn't just reversing the genders. The point I was (admittedly hurriedly) trying to make is this: In this age of so-called equality, men are generally still expected to pursue women. Men are still the ones expected to impress women. And women can still expect men to foot the bill to a greater or lesser extent. Men are still entrenched in these traditional behaviours as well, which reinforces women's ability to do this. But more to the point, men don't often have much choice but to date in th…

Women in the US are charged more for their health insurance than men. Sometimes as much as 50%. Now the insurance companies say that this is because women go to the doctors for more than men, use up far more of their time and resources, and are more likely to demand unnecessary treatment or medication. Of course, the feminist movement thinks this is wholly unfair, and that women should not pay more than men, and it seems the health insurance industry has capitulated. So women will see their prem…

That is a facile answer. 17 year old men can choose not to be boy racers. They can choose to drive more carefully. They get more speeding convictions. They get more drink driving convictions. They get more dangerous or wreckless driving convictions. They make far more insurance claims.

But that isn't how they're grouped together. They're grouped on the basis of risk, not gender for the sake of gender. In this instance gender has to be part of the risk assessment because at this age no party has a driving record on which personal risk can be assessed, but insurance companies do know that 17 year old male drivers pose a far greater insurance risk than 17 year old women.

You're missing the point. They are not being charged more simply because they are male.

If we're going to demand objectivity in equality (women earning less than men when they do less work for example), then we should accept it the other way round.

Police in the UK don't seem too bad with this. If it's a girl causing the problem, they're the ones usually taken away. As I posted a little earlier, women getting pissed beyond all control is a recognised problem in the UK.

It's actually quite well acknowledged in the UK that women are becoming increasingly problematic regarding binge-drinking and their subsequent behaviour. In fact the MSM have regularly reported that while (depending on which study you look at) binge-drinking with men is either static or in decline, with women it is increasing quite dramatically. Not only that, but it seems that the girls are just really fucking shit at taking their ale.

She is quite right.

I don't know who was eventually selected to design this public furniture, but he was obviously a genius. I didn't realise that a seat that could be so beautifully comfortable for my male arse could be so utterly uncomfortable f…

I reject the premise of your question on the basis that you assume the principle aim of feminism is equality. At 41 years old, I've been familiar with the rhetoric and statements of the feminist movement for quite some time, and the word 'equality' has actually been rarely used by devout feminists as a statement of their aims. Indeed, many representatives of the feminist movement have unambiguously stated that feminism is not about equality. At best, 'real' feminists describe themselves as promo…

Actually, this isn't so much as seeing men as cheque-books.

And do you seriously believe that a 16 year old boy who has consensual sex with his 15 year old girlfriend is committing the same level of criminality as a man who breaks into a woman's home, brutally assaults her, then violently rapes her with a knife to her throat?

I was walking through a hallway carrying a large and heavy box. When I tried to open a door, I could do it, but it involved some mild struggling. There were plenty of guys around, and yet no one tried to help me with the door. Well this is a direct result of feminism's bullshit. There is such a thing as politeness and courtesy, which is what helping someone (male or female) in the above situation is. Unfortunately feminism saw any form of help from men toward women as sexist and patronising. Tha…

What a massive over-reaction. The image was also a reversal of the feminist cartoon where a girl looks down a boy's pants with the phrase "so that's why you earn more than I do". There was nothing remotely pornographic about this image. That's why nobody fucking reported it.

I realise that girlfriends and siblings are different, and I'm lucky to have a very good relationship with my sister, but I have noticed what I'll call a general change in women over the last 15 or so years.

It was the way of things. I always found something to apologise for (I learned early on not to apolog…

There's is never any excuse for hitting a woman. I was brought up with this. The phrase was rife in the 80s when I grew up into adulthood, and it is one of the worst pieces of feminist propaganda there is, simply because this statement alone allows women to use whatever behaviour they want with assumed impunity, whether it's verbally provocative or physically violent. You are allowed to defend yourself against anyone who attacks you, regardless of whether they are male or female. It is natural t…

I agree that you need to go to someone in authority, but do it immediately. DO NOT WAIT.

I understand that is what the State currently thinks. The debate is whether that is reasonable. By the same logic, every time a single mother gives birth, the State could hold a lottery into which every employed single man is entered, and the 'winner' gets the 'honour' of being the father of the single mother's child. That too would serve the welfare of the child (as well as the mother). I'm surprised some loon hasn't already suggested this. Or maybe they have. Statistically children do far bett…

Shouting is more likely to be regarded as psychological abuse, but this really does depend on who you're talking to, what they believe and what their agenda is. A woman hitting a man can be justified by feminists of course, because the man 'verbally assaulted' the woman and made her 'fear for her safety'. When it comes to men, violence "is never justified, no matter what the provocation". So unless the article specifically states that they're only talking physical violence, it's anyone's guess.

The pussy pass might not work if the man was mentally disabled (learning difficulties). Both women and the disabled fall under the 'protection' of political correctness as 'victims', so when one set of 'victims' attack another set of 'victims' this causes a politically correct version of a division by zero error.

The Judge does not necessarily have to bankrupt her but can make her liable for financial reparations as and when she is able. In reality this debt is unlikely to be fully discharged, but essentially she has been let off the hook and the victims will always be £26,000 worse off. If this had been a man, society would demand or expect the guy to be in some sort of employment and a judge would most likely have made an order against his income (I have known people who have been claiming unemployment…

Talking to her about his fears is pointless and possibly even counter productive. It's pointless because at the moment they're all loved up and ready to give the lifetime commitment thing a good go. It's what her opinion and attitude is in 5, 10, 20 years time that matters. He ain't gonna find out till he gets there.

Women generally have a tendency to change the nature of the relationship when a 'commitment milestone' is reached. This is experience, not bitterness speaking. You are absolutely correct in observing that when a woman marries a man the power and control in that relationship really does slide far more in her direction.

Women are told that if a man hits them once, they will do it again and that because of this they should end the relationship and get away from him. What your wife did is a sign of things to come. It's not all her fault, the State has to take some responsibility for not seeing both sides of the argument.

No, her attitude is a direct consequence of living in a society where it is still largely socially acceptable for a woman to not work.

Well there you go. The entire feminist movement seems to be based on contradictions. If a feminist is talking about abortion, she will vigorously defend a woman's right to do as she wishes with her own body.

That is one of the main reasons custody goes to the mother. This kind of recognition i…

I did write to my Conservative MP regarding this, and it seems an awful lot of Conservative MPs are against it. Problem with some Conservatives is they have a bee in their bonnet about marriage, and they will see this as an extension of that, I suppose. Always badger your MP about these things, otherwise they don't know how you feel.

You would be a fool to consider it. But that shouldn't make you feel bad. It doesn't mean you can't have a long, happy, fulfilling relationship. You say you thought you would like to get married, but are you yet in a relationship with someone you feel you would like to marry? If not, then you are perhaps falling into the trap that a lot of my friends have fallen into, which is considering marriage as something to aspire to in its own right. A tantalizing, romantic notion which ends up being more…

You are quite correct. There is a proposal for a 'cohabitation law' that will grant similar rights (as marriage provides) to couples who have cohabited for 2 years or more. Of course, because women largely tend to seek out permanent relationships with men who earn more than they do, it is obvious that those who stand to benefit most from this legislation are women. While I agree that there may need to be equal protections given for couples with children, it is often conveniently ignored that thi…

Marriage is a broken concept. And it is men who should lead the way in accepting it as such, because frankly, it is men who have the least to gain from it and the most to lose. No more marriage. The feminists got this one right.

It changed when feminists decided they no longer wanted to look like ugly, burly sacks of shit with crew-cuts and dungarees, and went back to wearing lipstick and high-heels. They just indulged in that woman's prerogative of 'changing their minds' (or what men refer to as 'historical revisionism') and started to claim that women dressed-to-kill 'not for men' (as was previously claimed by feminists) but rather dressed to 'please themselves'.

No, he doesn't. When a man ends a marriage because his wife fucked around, the woman still generally comes out of the divorce with the kids, the house, and a fat pile of cash. Why? Because when a woman finds herself in a divorce court because she couldn't keep her legs closed, she'll claim that it was an emotional response to an uncaring, abusive, emotionally detached man who alienated her from his affections, and hey presto! She becomes the victim. So Fauropitotto, I really can't agree with you…

Here's the simplest argument I can come up with regarding this issue: If we live in a free society then men can get together and form whatever bloody club they want to, whether it's to navel-gaze over the 'issues' or to go out together on the piss.

I think it's relevant for one simple reason. Feminism has a multitude of complaints regarding the behaviour of men toward women. They complain that we treat women like children. That we're controlling. That we are insensitive and selfish. That we expect women to give and for men to take. The list goes on. Basically, feminism is one long complaint about "what men do to women". What feminism systematically fails to do when looking at how men and women interact is to take into account how women's b…

I didn't keep dating her, I was living with her. And I did send her packing. Not as soon as I should have done though. And that was the point of my post. We have an instinctive reaction as men to trivialise that behaviour when we see it in women. This is why women are regarded as 'feisty' when we really mean angry and confrontational. Women are described as 'passionate or tempestuous' when we mean temperamental and verbally or physically violent etc.

It isn't a question about lifting or not lifting a taboo. It's a question about society being honest about what the fuck happens.
