The answers to those questions are pretty self-explanatory to the people in this subreddit, but to this girl who just figured out that men can actually face discrimination, it's probably likely to be a bit of a revelation.

A great one is domestic violence shelter ratios. It will give her a great lesson on the difference between reported statistics (police stats routinely show that most people who report DV to the police are women) vs. self-reported statistics (surveys of the public routinely show that DV is experienced by men and women at very comparable rates). This gap introduces many, many interesting questions: Why are men much more reticent to report their DV victimization to the police? What is different abo…

It’s all going to depend upon the laws in your state, so don’t take any blanket statements here at face value until you’ve checked to see what has happened in the case law in your state, or exists in legislation. The general tenor, though, is correct. In most cases, once you’ve established a pattern of support, you’re expected to continue it, and that’s irrelevant of blood kinship, irrelevant of legal adoption, and irrelevant of the nature of your relationship to their legal mother. Once the mon…

Sure, it's a technical possibility to get all women in a purely equal system, but the statistical odds that it would happen randomly are pretty much nil.

The problem with this logic is that there was nine men when only men were allowed into the system. No one questioned it, because it was the norm and deviation was an impossibility. Now we're widening access to both women and men, so the norm has changed, but that norm is not 'all female' like it was 'all male'. The norm is rough parity. Ergo, for nine women to be named would be a deviation FROM that norm, as a result, and would justifiably invite questions.

TIL that serving 65% longer sentences for the same crime, and having almost triple the chances of receiving an incarceratory sentence is 'coddling'. If anyone's coddled by the criminal justice system, it's women. Up here in Canada, we have a provision where we allow minors involved in criminal cases to remain anonymous and we make the court proceedings private, so their anonymity can be protected. We do this by default, and it's up to the lawyers for the one side to argue to the court why that n…

Great article except for that last sentence. How do you have this neutral article and then veer into race politics right at the end? Was this kid black? If so, it might have been good to have that spelled out earlier in the article, so that the last sentence doesn't appear to come out of left field. If he wasn't black, then that last sentence is a toss away snipe that diminishes the tone of the article. It appears the author cares less about this kid than he or she does about advancing an agenda…

And, once again, the double standard on responsibility and agency. Men have an intrinsic locus of control. THEY control their decisions. THEY control their actions. THEY are responsible for the outcome. Women have an extrinsic locus of control. They are the unwitting pawns of outside forces, just leaves on the wind, and are not responsible for the outcome. It's quite honestly ridiculous how much this double standard comes into play in our modern world. Chivalry and gallantry can quite honestly g…

Of course, there won't be an article about how Jolie has wrestled with 'toxic femininity' by assuming she's a better parent because of her sex, assuming she's more involved with their children because of her sex, denigrating male methods of parenting that she doesn't necessarily agree with, using the children as somewhat of a weapon to hurt her ex-spouse, denigrating his friends and pastimes in public, insinuating that he's a cheater when she's cheated on just about everyone she's ever married o…

In my son's school, there was a kid who dressed in a top hat, cape, waistcoat, spats, monocle, and a cane. He also put in fake contacts that made his eyes unnaturally bright blue. He was an inveterate ham, and was constantly mining for attention from his fellow students. He was a MASSIVE distraction, because he essentially walked around with a chip on his shoulder from minute one, picking fights with anyone who didn't fully support his decisions or actions.'

She should have realized with that 6M dollar payout that the state was admitting guilt, and should have simpliy filed suit for compensation for her pain and suffering, and the pain and suffering of their shared childred (if any), citing her ex-husband's case as precedent. But, instead, she was a raging bitch and tried to take some of her ex-husband's due compensation for being jailed.

Testosterone mitigates and moderates emotion, and with 18-20 times as much of that hormone as women have, we are never going to display the same aggregate behaviour for emotion that women will. Even if we could magically rig a world where men and women were raised 100% identically, we still wouldn't be as emotional as women are. We're not robots, and we do have emotions, but we process them differently, have different triggers and levels, and holding us to female standards of emotion simply isn'…

I think the aggregate stats support me in the rapist vs rape category. No they don't. Both sexual assault and DV are very close to parity when you go to victimization surveys and not police statistics. Your sister was a victim, but there's oodles of programs, money, people, invested time and focus on helping female victims of sexual assault. Male victims of sexual assault like me? Not so much.

Yes, they clearly went in with an ideological belief about workplace harassment, and constructed their survey questions around that stereotype. Meanwhile, out here in the real world, women harass other women at work, and women harass men at work, too, but that will never get counted.

Why? If Australia is anything like Canada, women are graduating with higher marks already, so it's not like they don't meet the existing entry requirements.

When we measure perception of locus of control, men are perceived to have an internal locus of control, which means they are believed to be internally motivated, to have responsibility and agency, to be actors, to be deciders, to be movers and shakers, etc. Women are perceived to have an external locus of control, so they are believed to be externally motivated, to lack responsibility and agency, to be acted on, to be decided for, to be moved, to be shaken, etc. Because of this difference in how…

A great source is your local domestic violence system. It's usually run by the province or state, and all you have to do is find that association, catalogue their clinics, and find out which ones allow for male clients. If your region is like mine, the association will have women in the title, provide 99% of its services to women, and will be lucky to have a single clinic that lets in men. Then you just produce a victimization survey for domestic violence. They all show men as a significant mino…

During WWI, because of poor nutrition in the lower classes that made up the vast bulk of the British Army, there were entire units of pint-sized, undernourished men, called "Bantam Units" because training with regular sized men, carrying the same kind of load, etc. would have injured them repeatedly. If those guys could fight, then women could fight. It wasn't a matter of capability, it was a matter of keeping women safe to 'repopulate the nation' once the war was done.

Show the nudity, I don't care. What bugs me is the double standard around it. Female nudity is just another form of 'objectification', to the point where we have major cities removing entire ad campaigns because they feature a woman in a bikini.

Oh, I don't know, 40+ years of federal statistics showing that men have been at least 40% of our self-reported victims, are trending up, and have been the raw majority of those self-reported victims for the past 15 years might qualify.

I think the point is that everything that's 'toxic' about toxic masculinity is an extreme version of a characteristic that's extremely helpful and productive when done in moderation. You can't get rid of toxic masculinity without also removing a goodly proportion of the positive characteristics. Confidence becomes bravado. Decisiveness becomes impulsive risk taking.

That’s what the women’s side wants and has been asking for. Then they are nuts. The average attendance for the NWSL in 2018 was 6000 people. To give you an idea of scope, that puts them about on par with the Div II and Div III teams in the men's leagues. That average doesn't tell the tale, really, because two of the twelve teams have great attendance (Portland and Utah) and are way above average, but the other ten teams are all below the league average. That league is on death's door in 10 of 12…

"You know why women and femmes have to fear violent men?" The real question is: why do women and femmes have to invent fabricated narratives like this to smear men? Because the minute you said this line, you exposed yourself for a liar. Not that people didn't suspect that, anyway, because the entire notion of calling a boy a 'sissy' hasn't been a thing in 40 years and yet all these women and femmes seem to continue to stumble on men that use those archaic terms.

It's garden variety double standards.

The rise of female incarceration is not a sign that the system is biased AGAINST them. It's a sign that the bias FOR them is eroding. Older, more biased judges are retiring, and younger, more egalitarian judges are coming in, and that's slowly but surely chipping away at the edifice. But, that march towards equality in our courts and prisons is very ably showing up feminists for what they are. They don't want equality, because that would mean more women in jail, provably.

The Canadian, US and Mexican federations struck a deal to directly subsidize the NWSL, so if a player plays on the national team, they get both their national team salary and their club salary paid by their national association. That frees up the club to use its money elsewhere, like keeping lights on and rent paid. If they peeled off the women's association from the men's, and left them to their own devices, would the women's association have the funding necessary to directly subsidize the club…

US Soccer's only winning play is to peel off the women's game to its own association.

It may not be, it's just one of the theories you see tossed about in articles discussing this issue. Personally, I think it's more than a little bit biological.

When it's blatant that an account is trolling, and the debate isn't being posted honestly, I don't see a positive for keeping it up, personally. Maybe firmer free expression types would allow it and just downvote it, but to me this is an intentional attempt to waste people's time, not 'debate', i.e. it's not an honestly held opinion.

When I was 15, my French teacher tried to seduce me. My friend's Mom did the same thing, a few months later. They know that they are doing. They know that they can get away with touching boys in a way that no man could ever get away with touching girls. It's not an 'accident'.

There was that 'leaked' MIT admissions paper that showed that despite the fact there was almost three times as many men that applied, the end pool for men and women were almost identical.

If they put this toe in the water, and get people used to the idea of the 00 numbers getting cycled, and used to having a female 00, then down the road we'll see our first actual female Bond.

The Lion King is fiction, not a lie. It's a re-telling of the story of Joseph and Moses, from the Bible, with a little dollop of Shakespeare thrown in.

Every time I read this general message my immediate thought is, “Where do these guys live and who do they surround themselves with that this is a message they think is prevalent enough to warrant a PSA?” I haven’t heard this shit in years, if not decades. The last time I heard anyone called ‘gay’ for showing emotions was when I was in my early teens in the 1980s, and I grew up in a VERY conservative province, one regularly maligned for being backward by the rest of the country.

That's how you know you're dealing with someone that's sarcastic, is openly mocking the contention, or is a smart ass. It has nothing whatsoever to do with whether he's a rapist. The ONLY thing that determines if he's a rapist is if he's committed rape. So, rather than being a disingenuous hag trying to smear people with insinuations that have no evidence behind them, get out there and prove it. If you can't? Shut up.

Testosterone = tough and no PTSD Horrifically oversimplified. Testosterone helps us to mitigate emotion, and because we have more of it, we are naturally more stoic and thus tend to be more useful in a crisis situation where emotions have to be temporarily mitigated to function effectively. Stressful situations naturally spike our blood testosterone, in both men and women, for a reason. That doesn't mean we're literally without emotion. We're talking mitigation, not suppression. That also doesn'…

Great work. I can see a few confounds, but for the most part, this is excellent. Much of what negatively impacts men is enforcement of the right, rather than the lack of the right itself. We have the right to equality before the law, but we're arrested more, charged more, incarcerated more, incarcerated longer, etc. so it's not that the legislation explicitly removed that right from men, but rather than there's an interpretational layer that's working against us.

On average, maybe, but averages hide all sorts of sins. I strong suspect that many millennials are ragingly fit, but their average fitness as a cohort is dragged down by the litany of couch potatoes. Without the boat anchor of all those apathetic people dragging down the average, I'd bet Millennials would outstrip all the prior generations by a mile, rather than just by a small amount. For example, eating disorders are spiking with this generation, too. Are Millennials more fit, or are they more…

The same stoicism that has men going to doctors less often, trying to tough out emotional issues, and generally not being as emotional as women are is also the stoicism that makes them great at all kinds of high stress positions, emergency situations, conflict situations, and situations of loss. The ideological concept of ‘toxic masculinity' exists within …

In the General Social Survey, Canada's largest survey, the last survey round had the questions around sexual assault modified to include 'too drunk to consent', which is obviously subjective as all hell, especially when you're leaving it up to the supposed victim to determine.

‘Gender’ was a late Medieval creation (15th cent roughly) that was specifically used as a synonym for biological sex, because that was when the term sex began to widen its usage and became used for the actual act of coitus.

In Canada, we have the Equity Hiring Program in the federal government. So despite the fact that women are now over represented (60%) in the federal civil service, and 51% of the population (and thus, by definition, not a 'minority') they continue to get a leg up in federal hiring.

“The difference between racism and prejudice is a basic one” Apparently, not basic enough, because you totally screwed these definitions up. ‘Prejudice’ just means to pre-judge, typically based on superficial characteristics rather than salient characteristics. It’s the broad umbrella category. WITHIN prejudice, you can prejudge someone based on their sex (sexism), their race (racism), their sexual identity (homophobia), etc. So, racism is a subset of prejudice.

In 2014, the last time the survey covered DV, 415 000 men in Canada said they'd been victims of domestic violence. 385 000 women said the same.

Not all feminists are one in the same. True, but that's kind of the 'no true Scotsman' fallacy. Even if I acknowledge that there's moderates out there, I'm still faced with dozens of policies in my home nation where we're egregiously discriminating against men or unfairly promoting women. That's not coming from the moderates. The extremists are in those parties, making that legislation. In short, how do you think we got to a DV system in most western nations that doesn't have a lick of funding a…

There's not that many men that didn't have some sort of physical alteraction when they were young or in their teens. The vast majority of us leave it behind in childhood.

These women need to read up about the early days of the NHL, how it actually folded for quite a few years, it's early competitors, what the players earned while the league was being built, etc. Just like most entitled women, they want the end result without having to actually live through the process of making it.

Two girls my wife went to school with. a) lives with a man in the oil patch, who pays for literally everything. She's mid 20s, has a decent job working for the government, but she doesn't pay a single bill. She's ostensibly a firm feminist, but she doesn't mind at all being a kept woman and living off of someone else's work. b) bragged about how she was going to work only long enough to get pregnant, and then hop off onto mat leave and be a baby momma for the rest of her adult life.

I am advocating for men’s rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. Sure, but in this case, there's two ways in which you can make these outcomes equal. a) Allow men the same freedom to objectify and joke about women, elevating them to where women sit. b) Deny women the freedom to objectify and joke about men, dragging them down to where men sit. Which one do you think is the most healthy for society? Do we really want to live in a repressed society of worrywarts and snitches policing ea…

Yeah ... that's not quite it. Humans start as undifferentiated cells, so they have to have the base points for both male and female options because it could honestly go either way. If, at some point, the blastocyst is bathed in androgens as part of early natal development (triggered by the y chromosome), that sends the fetus off towards male. If it doesn't, it develops as female. That doesn't mean men 'evolved' from women. All through our genetic past we were a dimorphous, sexual species, just l…

Diversity does have value In certain contexts, sure, but what are we measuring the diversity on, in the overwhelming majority of cases? Superficial characteristics like sex, sexuality, ethnicity ... for most of the jobs where these diversity initiatives are being undertaken, these characteristics don't play any role in the end quality of the product. The diversity that matters most heavily is diversity of experience, diversity of education and diversity of approaches.

Left wing explicitly supports equality of outcome and condemns equality of opportunity. What? Social Justice is control and equality of outcome. Liberalism was founded on maximizing freedom and equality of opportunity. Both are arguably left wing, but absolutely opposed on their core arguments.

Depends upon the jurisdiction. If it's a jurisdiction that puts the onus to prove truth on the speaker, it's really easy to prove defamation. As long as you can show they spoke to people about you in a derogatory manner, it's up to the woman to prove that she told the truth, and thus has the defense of truth. That's MOST common law jurisdictions. Civil law jurisdictions can be hit and miss. Quebec is civil law, for example, and the onus is on the plaintiff to prove the defendant lied.

I paid a metric fuck ton of child support, and I'll be the first one to argue that child support is unfairly calculated, and the entire methodology has nothing to do with the actual needs of the child ... and yet I think this particular outcome is perfectly fine.

Generalizations are only accurate when the pool of people is small enough that your generalization can hold for everyone in the group. If even ONE person doesn't fit the generalization, then you're being unfair to that one person. With large pools of people, like 'men' or 'women', you're being unfair to millions of people in most modern nations. "Toxic Masculinity", for example, really only describes a small percentage of US or Canadian males, and a large majority of men don't engage in those be…

You know the mantra they will try and sell, though. The wars wouldn't happen with feminist leaders, so there wouldn't BE a meat grinder to send our children to die in. There wouldn't BE 70-80 hour weeks, because work would be apportioned much more fairly under feminist leaders. It's all BS, but when you're talking with people who only see sunshine out of their ideology, they are going to rationalize all this away. ​

The sheer hypocrisy around Islam and it's treatment of women, vs. "Islamophobia" in progressive circles is astounding.
