I was thinking more in terms of regret and remorse being mitigating factors in and of themselves, separate from whether or not the criminal is likely to reoffend.

Regret and remorse are easy to fake, especially for women. Or, more accurately, male judges are more likely to fall for it if the liar is a woman.

Men are already forced to pay child support. Even if abortion was made illegal, a woman would still have the option of giving the child to another family through adoption. She would not be "forced to stay with" either the father or the child. I suppose she would technically be "forced to stay with" the child for the duration of the pregnancy, and I wouldn't be opposed to some form of remuneration from the father during those nine months (if abortion was actually completely illegal).

Even assuming that's true (which I doubt), you're basically saying that because most men wouldn't care, it's OK to do it to all men, and because most women would care, it's not OK to do it to any woman.

Creating a human infant with the correct number of limbs =/= creating an emotionally healthy, properly neurologically developed person. All the chemical shit that goes on in the womb is absurdly complicated, and we don't know nearly enough about it. Making the process equal in effectiveness to "normal" pregnancies is going to require a lot of trial and error on human children.

How can feminists reconcile the ideas that "The MRM isn't needed because feminism works for equality for everybody" and that "We're not going to spend any time fighting for your rights, we work for the empowerment of women? It's quite simple.

My point was that the vast majority of people would disagree with your assessment of breasts as being (sort of vaguely) non-sexual. Whether they are "sex organs" or not is irrelevant. And to answer your earlier question: No, I don't think people should be allowed to dress however they want. Especially not in a school setting. I'll also add that your original claim seems to be that girls being reminded of the dress code more often than boys was a result of sexism. Have you conceded that point?
/r/MensRights28/05/14 03:46 AM

Nope. I'm saying that a heterosexual man not wanting sex from other men in exchange for drugs doesn't make him sexist. Unless you think hetero/homosexuality is inherently sexist.

Because I felt like discussing it. Fair enough. I used the definition that makes the most sense to me, which is to use it in a similar way to other recognized terms like "culture of intolerance". Countless different definitions or not, I think a so-called "rape culture" would, regardless of ones definition, have to specifically affect rape.

Like I said, there are a million different definitions for it. To you, that's not a definition of rape culture. To someone else, it's "a man was in the same room as me and I felt uncomfortable". Ask 10 people and you'll get 10 different versions of what it means to them. If it is completely subjective, why even bother making a claim like... "We" don't have a rape culture.

I don't think that that's actually rape culture, though. The nature of the crime wasn't really that important. Both of those groups would have probably tried to help their fellow priests/small town heroes no matter what they had done.

I was just nitpicking the fact that if it has the potential to be alive, it's not actually alive, and can't be killed.

She ignored the opinion of a doctor and shopped around until she got one that would listen to her. That's not looking out for the best for the child. To be more fair than she probably deserves: What if that woman had believed that circumcision was wrong, and her first doctor had disagreed and pressured her to have it done, leading her to go looking for one that agreed with her? Would she have been a bad parent for not doing what her first doctor told her to?

Exploit the broken system to try to make the outcome slightly less broken? I can see his point, I just really dislike the concept of jury nullification. "You are clearly guilty, but we are going to acquit you anyway because we happen to disagree with the law/because you seem like a nice person/because all you did was kill a black guy". Juries are not supposed to be able to override the law.

In construction work for example, where physical strength is important, would it really be wrong for employers to specify that they only want to hire men? They would still have to look at the (all male) applicants and separate the 97-pound weaklings from the musclebound anvil-jugglers. Why not just include women in that process? The slight incremental cost of dealing with more applicants? If you want to hire people based on strength (or weight or whatever), why not just do that? I can see requir…

The existence of the underground railroad implied critical mass, and also the inherent lack of feasibility in the existing system. Not necessarily slavery in itself, but at least this system of it. Not sure how it implies that, but we're on enough of a tangent already. :) The abolitionist viewpoint was that the slaves were people rather than property, so they actually weren't punishing slave owners by helping slaves to escape. Edit: I'm pretty sure you'll try to catch me on this one, so allow me…

I guess what it boils down to is that when half the population thinks that something is a crucial human right and the other half thinks that it's a horrible evil, there's not much we can do. That being the only feasible solution, we're sort of stuck with it. All that does is rule out vigilantism. You shouldn't take it upon yourself to punish anyone for having an abortion, owning a slave (back when a lot of people still thought slavery was OK), or having sex before marriage. It also sort of rules…

That's really more of a stopgap "what do we do until we've sorted this out" measure though, which is why it's almost always proposed as a more permanent "solution" by the side that wants to do something the other side considers unethical. the most feasible solution is often just to have each side follow their own concept of 'right' as long as they're not preventing others from the same. What if one sides concept of right includes the idea that it's OK to prevent others from doing X? If you say I…

My point was simply that I don't think that "if you don't think it's ethical, don't do it" is a pretty unconvincing argument regardless of how it's used. If the vast majority of people didn't consider robbery to be a crime, then it wouldn't be in the books. What if I don't think any kind of theft is unethical? Should other people interfere with my attempts to steal stuff? "If you don't like it, don't do it. Just don't interfere with my attempt to do it."

They certainly seem happy and healthy and all that, so it seems to have worked out fine, but the idea of voluntarily becoming a single parent still bothers me a little, regardless of gender or welfare-recipient status. I suppose a single great parent is better than two mediocre-but-not-abusive ones, so if we're not going to ban the latter, I guess the former is acceptable too. Really, all I'm basing this on is vague feels.

I figured that much. What I was wondering was why people oppose the abuse of certain animals not because of their instrumental value (you shouldn't kick the dog because it might be useful when fighting off a mugger/the blood might ruin your shoe/dogs are expensive to replace), but rather because the dog is seen to have intrinsic value (you shouldn't kick the dog because that would make the dog suffer). People didn't hate Michael Vick because he encouraged gambling, or because he got blood all ov…

I have seen women openly proclaiming that they couldn't be friends with a gay or bi woman. "What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way."

So it's not actually about the ethics of mistreating the dog, but rather about property maintenance? If you do not maintain your dog, it will malfunction and not serve its intended purpose, and then you'd have to buy a new one. Mistreating animals isn't unethical, it's just a waste of money that you could be spending on something else?

Unhygienic pig! /s What if men’s magazines featured... And who buys womens magazines, exactly? Why do they even exist?

If what you say is true then pot would be legal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arguments_for_and_against_drug_prohibition#Public_opinion "In October 2009 a [US] Gallup poll found that 54% of those polled were against the legalization of cannabis." "according to a 2007 survey, 95% of Australians do not support the legalization of heroin, cocaine and amphetamines, and 79% do not support the legalization of cannabis." Even if public opinion has shifted in the US since 2009, I doubt it has been a sign…
