It doesn't always happen. There's women who can do heavy lifting too, and some choose to do just that. But should they choose not to, women have a much easier time avoiding that sort of work in favor of getting a man to do it instead.

It's possible this guy is a 100% fabrication. Well, I'm not actually assuming he exists or doesn't. Just that if he does, like she says he does, she should be going to the police in order to help other women. And if not, she and the feminists pushing this story need to be honest abut it. Her arguments about not wanting to speak out ring hollow, because she's already spoken out. And, yes, it should be very easy for police to identify once she goes to them. So, either she's lying about this situat…

If she chose to speak out in a book that she's selling to millions; she can choose to speak out again in order to let police know who this person is. Her details were specific enough that they could lead authorities to someone on campus. It's not just about her, it's about the other potential victims of the person in her book. The same victims she and other feminists claim to be wanting to help. And if that person isn't real, then instead of hiding behind actual people who've suffered, taking aw…

All false accusations do is make real accusations less likely to be believed. Yes. That's definitely one harm she's doing here. And basically, she has identified a set of characteristics that could be used to find this person, but is deciding not to do anything about it. Morally, she should step up and help police find them in order to make things safer for other potential victims. Feminists, Ms Dunham included, claim to care about rape; but in this situation don't seem to care enough to want a …

Yeah...you're in the wrong sub, I'm guessing you thought you were in that sub for people with down syndrome. How so? If her rapist is a real person, he should be removed for the protection of others. If he's not, it should be stated as such in her book. I'm not entirely sure how this applies to down syndrome, except as a comment on my post?

To be honest, I'd like to have her cooperate with police and get this person off the street. The fact that there's a rapist still out there who could have attacked more women is bad enough. But the fact that with these details, whether their name is Barry or someone else, the person could be found fairly easily becomes a lot more disturbing. Keeping quiet about it does nothing to help women who may be future victims of her rapist. If she lied about it, fine, then tell everyone that it's a lie an…

Might this be evidence that not everybody in Jezebel's employ is completely devoid of human decency? I don't know. It seems like it might be evidence that they are trying to avoid looking the fool, more than they already are; rather than actual empathy for the falsely accused. Edit: And to be honest, I'm not so sure that the "apology" doesn't come from the same place, in that they are trying to avoid fallout of their own false accusations, rather than admitting their initial position was incorre…

No such protection exists for men. And no such protection will exist for men. When choosing parts, if one side refuses to let women be portrayed as incapable; evil or seriously flawed, then by default the other side will be allotted the larger share of those roles. And in return, any attempt to change things to make it different than this, will also be opposed. Because the more heroic, or intelligent, roles for men exist, the fewer will exist for women; since there are only a set number of roles…

That's an excellent idea. Other suggestions about people claiming a different gender in order to "stick it" to the bake sale are, frankly, insulting to trans individuals. And undercutting this bake sale's price with an "everyone is equal" sale might be more productive too.

Yeah, I think that too. I can't see why you would think that about a victim. I suppose everyone's wondered what makes a criminal like they are, but it in no way would be a victim blaming thing. A good approach is to consider walking away from the situation to be the right course of action, not to wonder about the victim's culpability.

Whatever you think the situation is, it's something you want to happen, though? While it would be nice if it was from a perspective of "Men are being treated unfairly. This is wrong, because it's sexist, period."; her eyes were opened when it affected her personally instead. Sometimes it's the only way people can see things like this.

Admittedly, I was rather skeptical when reading this about whether the news organization used due diligence in reporting the story, but it seems they covered all possible avenues. The veracity of her claim and the identity of the rapist, if he exists, needs to be found. If this individual raped once, he could very well do it again. Ms Dunham should be to be as forthright as possible about the incident to police, because by not doing so, she could be permitting a situation where another woman get…

No, actually adult men also get blamed too. You see as a male, the boy is a potential rapist when he's with women, and a potential victim of men who are rapists when he's with the men. Not saying that flawed logic's any better though, just more sexist.

Don't you think if the shelter had more resources,they could/would have accommodated them? No shelter is going to have infinite resources at all times, while a social problem is everpresent. And that problem, when changed, can help far more than doling out funds piecemeal to different shelters. This is not something exclusive to one shelter, and it specifically targets boys. Not to mention that it ignores the message in society of men being potential rapists or pedophiles, which harms them in nu…

Well, to be fair the shelter had a men's section - they just wouldn't let the kid into it. So he's a potential rapist in the women's section because he's male. And he's a potential pedophile's victim in the men's section because they're males. If it wasn't so horrible, it would almost be funny. But it's not.

You don't think jokes about Tumblrinas, Feminazis, SJWs, concern trolls, etc are in the same vein? I don't care how the joke is delivered, but the concepts are pretty identical. Except none of those represent a single gender or even group. The feminist 'joke' specifically targets men. That's it. Not MRA's even, but men as a whole.

Of course. To the people making the joke, everything that men complain about is irrelevant or overblown. It's a denial of men's problems, and an enjoyment of the upset emotional state of those men. The spoiled part is (or was in this case) part of the idea that the men making those complaints are vastly exaggerating the extent of the problems that they have in the mind of person enjoying those Male Tears. None of that, however, makes the assessment of a person making the joke a correct one; and …

Hidden tests are illegal in France, not court ordered ones. Provided the court sees a reason for the testing, and the mother gives consent for the testing. However this does put an additional hurdle in front of any man who wishes to find out the parentage of their children, such as the social cost to a man involved; as to whether they're correct or not about the child, and the fallout from voicing their suspicions.

Interesting, though. The references to that phrase I've encountered have nothing to do with semen.

He wants the state’s definition of rape to include ‘sexual assault by deceit’, which he defines as: “An act of sexual penetration to which a person has given consent, because the actor has misrepresented the purpose of the act, or has represented he is someone he is not.” So, for everybody talking about how makeup or misrepresentation by a girl about herself would be rape, you can sleep soundly.

However, even in the dark ages of 1974, the possibility of someone taking advantage of the condoms she had on the table was widely considered to be the possibility of rape, waivers or no.

You do know about the sex wars don't you? There is still a large and vocal sex-negative feminist faction out there. And other groups that embrace warped stunted versions of heterosexual relations that I'd hardly call sex-positive. While saying that all feminists aren't sex-negative is accurate, saying that it's a minority is rather stretching things. I'm glad you're one of the sex positive feminists, though I disagree with feminist patriarchy theory completely, so there is that we'd disagree on.…

There are vastly more first world women who identify as equalists than there are who identify as feminists.

I'd say that the amount of spreading is about the same that I've seen; and when the bus or subway gets crowded, the spreading disappears. It's almost like when they have the space, they spread, but when it's packed, they don't. The cases where I've seen people purposely taking up more space despite a crowded situation are about equal. Bags put on seats next to them being the prime culprits, and that is pretty evenly split between men and women, that I've seen.

Is that an indication for you of the presence or absence of your desired statements by Colbert? Edited can mean a number of different things, for a number of different reasons. Because an edited interview still doesn't seem to be an indication of anything here other than the ability someone has to put three pictures together and add captions for each. I would suggest getting actual video of the exchange before engaging in what seems to be very much wishful thinking at this point.

Complaining is seen as unmanly, therefore an unattractive feature. And if they can't ever complain, they can't tell others of their discomforts. Heck of a way of making sure men are what they're told to be; at least for the person making value judgments on their attractiveness or lack thereof.

Not to sound dismissive, but I couldn't help but notice that the proof of the event is three still pictures; some captions added by the person who made it, and somebody saying they were there.

Ok, first, feminism isn't genetic, like the other poster said; and second if a feminist really wants to get pregnant, all she has to do it go to a sperm bank where she can pick and choose men by every possible category: height, intelligence level, education, health...etc. Hell, there may even be clinic that let them check the donor's teeth so they know they're buying a good one.

I wondered why they put "Attention All Males". Then I realized that it was because this group with feminist assumptions was holding the title of Man back until the people addressed did what they wanted. In other words, they only get to 'graduate' from male to Man if they do what they're told.

One possible reason for the attempted suicides is that women are cared about more in society. If something bad happens to a woman, there's far more of an outcry and concern. So, if someone is hurting, as happens to women like it happens to men, and they know that society and those around them will be concerned and nurture them, they may not use such a certain method of death.

This doesn't seem to be a case where they had an encounter and he regretted it after; rather he wanted to stop during it, and got away from Eroticon 6 as soon as he could.

Because women see the deaths of women as more tragic (not all women, but enough), so men see them as more tragic too. And thus society does as well, with both men and women seeing the deaths of women as being more tragic.

The procedure that seems the closest to male circumcision is the removal of the skin above the clitoris, a rare variation of type 1 FGM. The other types of FGM seem to be far more damaging and crippling than male circumcision. While I believe that male infant circumcision should also be banned, it also seems to me that FGM is a far more urgent issue right now. Why not ban both? It's an issue that can be treated with very little extra effort. Watch: Hereby in the Year of Our Lord 2014, none shall…

Less male partners= less opportunity to meet a partner for a gay man. Less male partners= a greater opportunity for your son to meet a woman. This is the scenario you envision. For you; the 'getting yours' part is right there: an advantage for your son. That is, provided he's not gay, in which case it's worse for him. But since your initial post focused on his inevitable heterosexuality, I'd assume you weren't considering this.

Because boys are often raised to endure situations, and many times not care about things that happen to men in general; even when it's themselves. Concern for men often gets met with hostility, and accusations of "whining" and such, in order to shut up the concern. Possibly to the point where men self-police their own potential problems or worries into oblivion, thus brushing off things to prove their lack of concern for themselves, in order to keep that mindset.

The only way you can balance it out is by pushing against male negative roles to an equal degree and trying to get more good/competent male roles out there.

And you have to now make the decision to be around one of them for an extended period...say working with them. They're both standing there, smiling and looking nervous. Which of them would you think would have the greater cha…

That depends on the role I need the person to fulfill. If I'm hiring a bouncer, or militant, and all the information I had access to was their gender, I would discriminate against the woman. If I'm looking for a sexual partner, I would choose the man, because I'm at a point in my life where I want to have kids, but I am bisexual. So if you're looking for a thug or a breeder you'd go male? Ouch. Since most societal roles (at least the ones that are desired) are non-violent in nature, that leaves …

Yeah, definitely. Society refuses to believe that men can be abused; so when it's happening, a man starts questioning themselves, thinking they must be unique in the world. Which sadly keeps them in such a relationship because they think they're the ones who are broken.

I'm very sorry that this sounds sexist and probably wildly offensive, but statistically speaking, men are more violent.

Gender essentialism is saying that every woman has less testosterone than every man, or every woman is less violent than every man.

In fact, I share that opinion. I also definitely believe that testosterone is one of the chemicals that makes people more violent...

No, men who don't conform to male stereotypes is why the MRM is needed.

Look, once they deal with all other issues; including everyone getting their pets spayed or neutered, jerks who talk in movies, and making sure cows don't take over the planet, then feminism will talk about male circumcision.

When does a troll become an indictment of a structural undercurrent in feminism?

A negative opinion of male sexuality is fairly common to many feminists, and it's definitely one of the predominant views of feminism. Emotionally crude, messy, dangerous and predatory are some of the thoughts about it. They see it as something unpleasant that needs to be controlled.

And, consequently, the greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they're loved and capable of loving.” Edit: Someone actually downvoting Mr Rogers? It must be a troll, withered and bitter for sure. We should celebrate this great teacher; this wonderful man who has something to say to us all.

If you keep ignoring speech like this as 'clickbait', when can you decide that an article is the real thing this time? I'm not suggesting shutting down an outlet, but it might be a good idea to at least talk about the nasty speech that comes from them. And even the satire ones, like the women's suffrage one posted previously, are often done poorly. With those, not every writer is a Swift and not every article is their own inspired Modest Proposal.

Meanwhile, in those two years... Cotton began the difficult task of beginning a new life. He got some money in compensation from the state of North Carolina, but he also worked two jobs to get himself back on his feet. He married and today is the father of a 10-year-old daughter. Of course people are irrational, but was the irrationality due to her being afraid of him because he was a man, and she judged him prone to violence because of that, for no good reason?

Her fears that he would want revenge were unfounded, and he quickly allayed her guilt. Cotton simply told her he had forgiven her long ago; it wasn’t her fault. What sort of revenge was she worried about? She knew he wasn't a rapist already. He'd done nothing, and there was no reason to think he would have done anything. Was it some kind of legal revenge? Or was she worried he was somehow a violent person, due to his gender? Even though he had given her no reason to think so.

What's more, women tend to be aware of this, if only subliminally. Some females might have periods in their life when they get "slap-happy" I suspect it has more to do with the social consequences for a man who fights back. As well as a healthy dose of "man up" in that if a man acknowledges that a woman's attack has hurt him, or that it makes them uncomfortable, they'll view him in a negative light.

Yeah, women definitely are judged on their breast size, like men are judged on penis size. Not every man does, but not every woman judges on penis size either. The fact is that there's enough women who do judge about penises, and enough men who do judge about breasts, that it causes people to feel badly about themselves.

While that is certainly true, one can wonder if gamers -- especially female gamers -- will have a favorable reaction to being depicted as Four Loko-drinking, pot-smoking, sexist males. Really? You have an absolutely horrid depiction of male gamers and the biggest thing you worry about is whether it will offend female gamers?

Yeah, it could be a female teacher slapping a boy too. That in itself wouldn't be worth talking about. But the question of if his being a boy made the decision to slap by the male teacher easier, is one that should be considered, and of course the severity of any slaps made as well.

Words do mean things to people though. You can argue that a bundle of twigs is a faggot but it tends to annoy people more than anything. When you have a phrase like pussy pass which sounds more like something a kid with tourettes might yell uncontrollably, it immediately is a negative for you.

Yelling pussy pass does nothing to get above the ruckus. All it does is play to the loudmouth contingent that already thinks they're right. It doesn't have to be social justice types that get offended. People in general don't like loud rude assholes, and using a simple and crude descriptor like that is a guaranteed way to make sure they think that they're dealing with one of those types instead of someone with a valid point.

Some of the elements in that PR machine can't be duplicated. The female focused aspect to feminism being one such and the view of bad outcomes for men as not that important by societies.

Do this yourself. In no way bring womens shelters into the mix. If you do, you will quickly find yourself becoming an appendage and subordinate to their wants. A women's shelter considers it's duty to women first and foremost. Which is why they feel the need to separate those terrifying lustful men in separate spaces. Funny how the possibility of lesbian workers entering into sexual relations with the vulnerable clients there is never brought up. It is the lack of a penis, you see, that makes th…

It's whatever gets them the votes they want. They've (correctly) realized that pandering to women gets them those votes. It's like white knight-ism on a huge scale. None of them could care less about men other than what boxes they get put in.

I'm sure that men will be warmly welcomed in these classes and treated in a completely impartial manner. (P.S that's sarcasm.)

Creationist History Flat Earth Geology And now Feminist Biology. The Trifecta Is Complete. But yeah, this is just an ideological attempt to control. I'm sure that men will be warmly welcomed in these classes and treated in a completely impartial manner. Provided they toe the party line.
