I don't know if you missed it, but Oliver just did a segment where he talks about online harassment and how it affects women. This post by itself would be whiny, but it's more to point out that he previously thought online abuse was no big deal and that people just needed thicker skin. In his most recent segment though, his response to anybody with that view was "congratulations on your white penis."

I agree, but he just did a 16-minute segment on online harassment where he painted women as the only victims of online harassment. In light of that, his previous comments that people subject to online abuse just need to stop being so sensitive seem a tad hypocritical.

"I know where you live and I'm going to fucking kill you." Which makes up an extremely tiny fraction of online abuse. When people talk about harassment of women online, 99.99% of what they're talking about is not that. And men also get that type of doxxing and abuse.

Because feminists have a ton of influence when it comes to DV. It's still considered "misogynistic" in a lot of circles to advocate for male victims of DV.

In case you haven't seen it yet, the sidebar does have some links to resources for male victims of DV. Record everything when you can, there have been several cases where a guy avoided jail because he took out his cell phone and recorded his partner when she was abusing him.

In Sweden (where Voat's founders live) the age of consent is 16, so the jailbait sub uses that and therefore hosts content that is very illegal in the US (though not in germany). I haven't been there for obvious reasons, but from what I've heard even apart from that some content would be illegal in the US, because overly sexualizing children, even if they're not fully naked, can be illegal (eg, posting sexualized pictures of children in bikinis for the purpose of porn is illegal). We can specula…

That's a good point, and I think the solution is to just give them much lighter sentences when they come forward voluntarily. And make it depend on how long they waited before telling the truth, so it encourages them to come forward sooner as well.

Still more than I've ever seen a woman in the US get. The punishment could be higher yeah, but regardless of the crime 8 months is definitely not a slap on the wrist. And UK actually goes after them too, so much that a feminist organization over there is now lobbying the government to stop punishing women who lie. If nothing else, this starts sending a message to false rape accusers that they can't do that to an innocent man.

except at least MRAs haven't spent decades fighting against women. I mean holy shit this is so wrong. To celebrate Father’s Day, we at NOW wanted to highlight the many ways in which everyone in our society – yes, including men – have benefited from the feminist movement. NOW has been anti-male, but they have especially always been anti-father.

people who don't consider it rape when women force men to have sex repeat statistics such as "99% of rapists are men and 90% of rape victims are women." Those statistics only include male victims who are sodomized. People who use the more progressive view would use the stats above, which are almost 50% of victims are men and almost 40% of the rapists are women. Good luck finding a feminist with the latter view of rape. Certainly none of the feminists supporting such a gendered treatment of rape …
/r/MensRights17/06/15 01:16 PM

it's a lot less gendered than feminists want you to believe. The difference comes from the fact that most feminists don't consider it rape when a woman forces a man to have sex. When that's not considered rape, then 90% of victims are women and almost all rapists are men. MRAs have a more progressive view of rape, hence we have a different idea of how gendered rape is.

feminists acknowledge that men can be raped by other men. But the entire feminist view of rape is still based around the idea that almost all rapists are men, which comes from studies (often conducted by academic feminists) that define rape as "penetration of the victim." RAINN and the CDC do not consider it rape when a woman forces a man to have sex. This sub has organized multiple email campaigns to get them to use a more progressive definition of rape, while feminists continue to support and …

I agree. Let her play soccer. Even if she was convicted I don't know if they should ban her for life. It's not like she raped or killed anyone. It sucks that we overreact when male athletes are accused, but we should stop that not start doing it to female athletes too. Let the justice system handle punishments

On a related note: Gawker (the same Gawker that was so publicly opposed to The Fappening) continues to defend their decision to post the Hulk Hogan sex tape, and then refuse to take it down when ordered to do so.

You can rape somebody when you're blackout. Not saying that's what happened here, but "black-out" doesn't mean unconscious, and it's definitely possible to be blackout and rape somebody.

Second wave feminism followed a lot of the same philosophy and shared many of the same viewpoints as third wave feminism. Second wave feminism also had a lot of terrible views. They were very anti-father and consistently opposed equal custody rights for divorced fathers (this was the main reason that early MRAs split from feminism in the early 70s). Second wave feminists refused to acknowledge that women could rape or abuse men. They refused to acknowledge that men had any serious issues that ne…

Why do you think America allows the KKK and such to exist? And some country's do ban KKK type speech, and it has lead to a slippery slope. Feminists in some European countries have already tried to have anti-feminism covered by "hate speech" laws, which would make criticizing feminism illegal the same way that denying the Holocaust is illegal there. The infamous Warren Farrell protest at University of Toronto was for this speech, which feminists there regarded as such terrible hate speech that i…

that's something feminists have been telling us for decades. and it's something that many people have been disagreeing with them about for decades. Some people can get blackout drunk pretty easily, I don't think that should be the line (especially since at the other end some people don't blackout, so what about them). Intoxication should only be rape if the victim is unconscious or close to unconscious.

I was banned for interupting an anti-MRA circle-jerk about DV to point out that feminism actually has a long history of opposing recognition of F-on-M violence. I provided sources, none of the other posters had any sources to back up their "feminism is good and therefore male victims of DV need more feminism not men's rights" claims. Funny thing is, a lot of reddit feminists actually claim that /r/feminism is somehow an MRA sub. I think a lot of the votes sometimes lean MRA because of lurkers, b…

Men don't drive five times more. And I don't think professional drivers are typically pulled over and breathalyzed. It's a problem that our society views drunk driving as something that only men do. I remember a drunk driving ad campaign that showed examples of drunk drivers, all of them were male. It's been well documented in other areas of our justice system that police are biased against male suspects and let women get away with more, so there's that too.

yep, they're quite the opposite of social change they're pretty traditionalist. I think both MRAs and TRP realize that in many ways the deck is stacked against men, especially when it comes to social rules. MRAs mostly want to change that, while TRP seems more interested in teaching men how to play the game and take advantage of the rules as they are.

I agree to some extent. This is one of the things that drives a lot of us away from feminism: eg, instead of wanting to end violence against everyone, they only want to end violence against women. Hence we end up with things like VAWA instead of a more neutral act that recognizes male victims too. I do understand many of these issues already have a lot of people advocating for the female side, which is why we need people advocating for the male side, but I think the overall message should be mor…

A lot of people came to this sub looking for misogyny, they came here so they could see what awful people we are... and then they realized we aren't.

She's explained it before, basically she thinks that feminism should be about equality and wants to fight for that.

No they didn't, both the mods and admins have confirmed that the mods agreed to have it defaulted and that reddit never defaults a sub unless the mods agree.

She joined reddit a few months before 2X became default, and then became interim CEO a few months after 2X became default. I agree that I'm not sure she had much to do with the defaulting, IIRC that shuffle happened due to the /r/technology scandal and reddit trying to address having default mods with too much influence. She might have had a hand in 2X specifically becoming default, but she also might have had nothing to do with it.

This is really just one example of something that happens pretty much exclusively to men. Almost all victims of police brutality are male, and our justice system also discriminates against men in a variety of other ways.

A post criticizing "male tears" would be relevant here, as would other anti-feminist posts like criticizing them for VAWA or for opposing joint custody or alimony reform. But this specific post is just anti-feminist without much relation to men's rights. And now it's one of the top 100 posts of all time on this sub, and one of the few chances we got to reach /r/all and show the rest of reddit what issues we care about has backfired and caused people to think we just whine about shit like this.

But what about gay victims of abuse? And even if that were a valid issue in other cases it's obviously not what's happening here, they gendered it because they are less interested in helping victims and more interested in perpetuating the stereotype that women are always victims and men are terrible people.

Here's a breakdown of that stat. It looks like it's technically true but cherry-picked and misleading. It includes cases where both the mother and father were awarded custody, and mothers were awarded custody more than fathers. The study found that when looking at just sole custody mothers get it 65% more than men do.

Here's a wayback machine archive of a 1996 NOW statement against father's rights. It was made in 1996 and they removed it about a year ago without explanation. It is hard to tell whether this is simply NOW hiding evidence or them having a genuine change of heart and realizing after 40 years that fathers are not horrible abusive assholes who just want to control women, but I think the fact that they haven't issued any statements about this issue and I've never seen anyone from NOW supporting fath…

Feminism is almost entirely left, but the left is NOT entirely feminist. In the US roughly 50% of the population are on the left, but only around 20% are feminists. Considering that there are some conservative feminists, that means around 2/3 of liberals (including myself) are NOT feminists. And let's remember that traditionalism is strongest on the right, and that's not any better for MRAs than feminism.

I'm sick of this. Women's sexual preferences are morally untouchable but men's are constantly subject of shaming. Agreed, but the solution should be to stop shaming men for out past sexual experiences (or lack thereof), not continue shaming women. One of the hypocracies I dislike about feminism is that they oppose slut-shaming but often shame and insult men who haven't had enough sex. MRAs don't need to be hypocrites in the opposite direction. If you don't want to date a promiscuous woman that's…

The important part to remember about 'slut-shaming' is the 'shaming' part. That's the key part, it's fine if you personally don't want to date a woman who had more sex. But the problem is a lot of people still make nasty comments about 'sluts' that go beyond personal attraction, and that should stop. If a woman fucked 50 guys and it makes you uncomfortable dating her, fine. But don't call her a slut behind her back or insult her for it.

Homelessness, falling behind in education, police brutality, overall bias in the justice system, shorter life spans and general attitude of disposability, more likely to be victims of violence, stereotyped as violent thugs, less compassion toward their problems, etc. If you look at the most important examples of areas where white have a significant advantage, those line up…

I support this, though I understand why many do not.

Gender is an issues but I doubt those officers would have gotten off if he was white. What if he was a black woman?

This was posted a few months ago. Unarmed blacks are 4.2 times more likely to be shot by police than unarmed whites. Unarmed men are 21 times more likely to be shot by police than unarmed women.

If you believe women deserve extra benefits (such as menstrual or parental leave) because of biological differences, then you are conceding that men deserve greater salary because of biological differences (like the need to not take off for period cramps).

The university can't, and shouldn't, do anything to charge alleged rapists.

The victim also told UVA that she didn't want UVA to pursue the matter. If a victim refuses to take any action then the university shouldn't force her to. It's the victim's job to take this to the police, and the victim decided not to. The university doesn't have any part in that.

I've never heard of an actual "arrest the male policy" before, but many police departments have policies that in effect require them to arrest the man. Whichever partner is bigger is usually one of the most significant factors in who should be arrested in a lot of jurisdictions. They also often assume that the more emotional partner is the victim.

At least they haven't gone full SJW. The definition a lot of feminists promote now is "prejudice, stereotyping or discrimination on the basis of sex, but only if it's against women." Feminism finally caught on that they themselves frequently promote sexism against men, so now they redefined sexism and say that it's impossible to be sexist against men, because men are privileged.

A phrase I've heard is "gynocentric patriarchy." I think that's fairly accurate. Yes, men are most CEOs, and politicians, etc., which could technically be a patriarchy. Yet these men aren't fighting for men's rights, they aren't oppressing women. Our society, patriarchal or not, clearly cares more about women than it does males.

Not all males are as lucky though. It can lead to complications, such as difficulty achieving orgasm due to severe loss of sensitivity.

This is a perfect response.

That line of thinking is more in line with how we view justice for everything except M-on-F rape.

Actually, feminist researchers don't define it as forced sex, it's forced penetration. Women don't typically penetrate anybody, so using this definition lets feminists make statements like "over 99% of rapists are male," because the studies they're using only counted rapists who penetrated their victims. Same with "90% of rape victims are women," that only includes victims who were penetrated, not men who were forced to penetrate.

It is questionable to me whether these are best handled as "women's issues" or as human rights violations, since in many cases men experience restrictions in these parts of the world.

That's why so many people who support gender equality oppose a movement which believes that a woman forcing a man to have sex is not raping him, that women should be given equal pay even if they don't do equal work, and that a man abusing a woman is far worse than a woman abusing a man.

A few reasons. First, adult women outnumber adult men, period. So we would expect poor women to outnumber poor men. In addition, a lot of poor men end up in prison, and I don't think prisoners are counted in poverty statistics. So that will count for a lot of the difference as well. Another significant factor, women are more likely to be single mothers, largely due to the greater choices women have regarding reproduction and custody. A family of 2 (or 3 or 4) has a higher threshold for poverty t…

Honestly, even unarmed they can still cause a lot of damage. Men are taught never to hit women under any circumstances. There are plenty of examples of larger men getting beaten up by their smaller partner because they'd been so conditioned not to fight back. Not to mention the fact that if they do defend themselves, they're likely to be the one going to jail. A woman can cause a lot of damage to a man twice her size if he's not allowed to defend himself.

Yeah, because women's violence against men is different, because men aren't being oppressed by the Patriarchy like women are. The difference is, society doesn't support this kind of violence, while society clearly supports the same violence when a man does it to a woman. This societal support means that while men's violence against women is "devastating", a woman trying to kill her boyfriend is only "trivial". This is what feminists actually believe

It's for policy. The vast majority of rape accusations are never proven true or false. Feminists use this to say that since they can't be proven false, they must be true, so we shouldn't worry about false accusations. This new policy reinforces this and ensures that statistics on false accusations will grossly underestimate the problem, which means that people will continue to feel justified in completely ignoring false accusations.

Actually in non-salaried jobs in the US, you get time-and-a-half after the first 40 hours.

Yeah, and the initial light sentence for rape was due to a plea bargain. With the girl dead, the state really had no strong evidence or testimony to convict him, so they had to give a pretty generous plea to the guy, otherwise it would go to trial where he would probably have been found not guilty.

77 cents compares all full time women with all full time men. I believe 70 cents compares all women with all men, full and part time. Women are more likely to be part time. So a female waitress working 20 hours a week makes less than than her male husband working 70 hours a week, and this is clearly due entirely to sexism against women.

Women work fewer hours than men while enjoying the fruits of men's labor. Women are better able to be a part of their children's lives, and receive the benefit of anti-male sexism in family courts. In criminal courts, women receive lighter sentences for the same crimes as men. Crimes with a female victim are punished more harshly than identical crimes with a male victim. Men are more likely to be a victim of violence, and are 3x more likely to be murdered (in the US), yet violence against women …

Gender studies professors have a decision: Agree with Feminism, or don't get tenure. Feminists work hard to block tenure to anybody who ever questions their religion. Same reason why very few tenured sociology professors ever do substantive research on F-on-M DV. Dr. Straus gives some more examples of how Feminism works to keep objectivity out of gender related issues in academia.

Like other discussions on the topic, the article focuses on the racism and glosses over the sexism, but they did at least have this: Officers often frisked these people, usually young minority men, So they at least acknowledged that the program was targeting men more than women.

Agreed. While the claim itself isn't sexist, the false notion of male privilege is often used to justify sexism, such as having a White House Council for Women and Girls but not a corresponding one for Men and Boys. That's clearly blatant sexism, and it is based on the lie that men are somehow more privileged and therefore don't need one.

at least the 5-7% of that that's estimated to be due to sexist discrimination. Men didn't earn that 5-7%, it isn't due to working harder, or having better qualifications, or being better at their jobs. It's pure privilege. False. Feminists FINALLY stopped BSing about the 77% gap, but they're making the same damn mistake about assuming that any unexplained gap must be due to discrimination and nothing else. The studies still don't put everybody in the exact same category, one that found ~5% gap h…

70s Feminism tried to address it. And by that I mean they played the victim card and claimed that paying for dates and asking women out was another way in which men oppressed women. The problem was, women were obviously privileged here, and so very few actually wanted the change. Telling women they were the ones being oppressed meant they had the option of deciding whether or not to change it, and they overwhelmingly decided not to.

And what exactly is causing this "extreme fear?" And couldn't extreme fear also cause the woman to say "Yes" when she didn't want it? You're treading dangerously close to the 1970s RadFem view that all sex is rape because women are always being oppressed and threatened by men, and so they never have the power to say no.

attributable to greater willingness to clearly communicate (non)consent. Most men fully understand that no means no. If Feminists actually gave a shit about stopping rape, instead of just finding an excuse to blame men and play the victim card, they'd be teaching women to say no if they don't want sex.

What if she didn't say anything and followed you out of (irrational) fear that refusal would have resulted in escalation of force? What if she said yes out of (irrational) fear that refusal would have resulted in escalation of force? Same result.

Technically it could apply to men as well, I remember a critic pointing out that if a man and woman are naked and fooling around, and the woman starts to go down on him without expressly asking him, it would be rape.

It is forced sex. But it's a woman forcing a man to have vaginal sex, which the CDC does not consider rape.

Because Feminism is all about making men seem "bad" and women seem like innocent victims. Abortion is probably the best known example.

women use violence only for self defense, It's important to note that the Duluth model holds that even if the woman strikes the man first, unprovoked, it is STILL in self defense, because women are constantly being oppressed by "The Patriarchy."

In the Alabama case where the guy had to pay child support despite being drunkenly passed out when the mother raped him, they actually had to bring in a medical expert to testify that unconscious men can still achieve erection and can still ejaculate.

Same happened with Brian Banks, he plead to 5 years in prison and a lifetime on the sex offender registry, despite never even having sex with the girl. When innocent men are willing to take such stiff punishments and stigma over even the chance of trial, it should raise serious flags about how our justice system handles innocent men accused of rape.

I am VERY wary of the egalitarian movement. "Gender neutral" things like that tend to be taken over by Feminists, and then they end up not-so-gender neutral. The transition from women's studies courses to the allegedly neutral gender's studies courses is one example. They're still not gender neutral, still not equal, still focus almost entirely on women's issues. VAWA is another example. They finally put gender neutral language in it... but it still primarily benefits female victims while ignori…

Something that has been noted on this sub before, Feminism has historically been from a rich white women perspective. Many of the most significant issues facing men are also some of the most significant issues facing minorities and poor people. High school dropout rates, homelessness, street violence, an unjust prison system handing out overly harsh and biased punishments... the reason Feminists can still call men "privileged" with a straight face is because these issues are pretty much invisibl…

"What's best for the child" would mean that any random millionaire could legally kidnap a poor person's child, or that any random rich person could be ordered to pay child support for a stranger. So despite Feminist claims, fairness to the parents and the person paying child support DO matter.

Same for me. But we're not the only people who have been circumcised. Some men have had it done and experience painful erections.

Most of the time, sure, there's no real harm. But it doesn't go perfectly all the time. Some infants die from complications. In addition, many circumcised men grow up to have trouble peeing, experience painful erections, or have lost so much sensation that they have difficulty achieving orgasm.

I view legal parental surrender as much more similar to an adoption or Safe Haven Laws than to abortion. It involves the biological parent(s) legally surrendering their rights and responsibilities to an already-existing child.

Suicide attempts are based off of self-reporting. First, men who try and fail are less likely to admit it, because of pressures to "man up" and how attempting suicide is considered a sign of weakness. Second, a lot of failed 'attempts' are just desperate cries for help, a significant problem sure but not as significant as genuinely wanting to kill yourself. And because nobody really cares about a man's issues, men would be a lot less likely to do the cry for help bit.

Men accounting for 93% of workplace deaths seems to have more to do with society's view of men as disposable than it does with men being genetically predisposed to dying on an oil rig. While the view of the male sex as expendable is certainly grounded in biology, as are many of the sexist views Feminists complain of, it has no place in modern society.

but I'm not sure how rooted in sexism it is. Whenever you have to ask this, the answer is usually found by reversing the genders. If an anonymous man called in with an unsubstantiated complaint that a female nurse had sexually assaulted him, would she have been fired with no further inquiries? False accusations in general are also a men's rights issue, as most feminists still refuse to acknowledge their prevalence or the harm they can cause, even if it's just an anonymous phone call.

No, the man can obviously ask the women to get an abortion, but ultimately it should be her decision.

This picture is from an upcoming movie about "Toxic Maculinity," there's another thread somewhere on that. The movie is put on by Feminists, and in the preview, they run a bunch of voiceovers of men saying things like "man up" and "be a man." Not a single one was a female voice, with the obvious implication that men, and only men, are responsible for men feeling pressure to be masculine. And yet, even most Feminists would reject a man who wasn't "manly" in the sense of being extremely assertive,…

um.... okay are you even paying attention to what this thread is about? I'm guessing not, which is ironic because you're the OP. It's a problem when women define the skills necessary to date women as "manning up." You honestly don't see how, in a discussion about the pressure men face to "be a man," it might possibly be somewhat relevant that women make "being a man" a prerequisite for dating them? You really just don't see how those two could possibly be related at all?

It's not about "not having relationship skills," it's about the pressure women put on men in regards to relationships. It's about the fact that women define what relationship skills are necessary for men. Women expect the man to be "manly," they expect the man to take charge, to be assertive, to be dominant, to take all of the initiative, etc. This causes a lot of anxiety for men, particularly teenagers.

Not necessarily that women put more pressure on men, just that men care more about the pressures women put on us. Men want to impress women more than we want to impress other men, so the pressures from women have a greater impact. EDIT: And yes, women put TONS of pressure on men. Most women don't hide the fact that they don't date guys unless we're more assertive and dominant than they are, etc.

Okay, wow. Just watched the preview again, around the 0:50 mark, they run through like 30 people saying things like "man up," etc. EVERY SINGLE ONE is a man saying it.

There have been quite a few cases where statutory rape victims have to pay child support, and this case where a woman raped a drunk, unconscious man and successfully sued him for child support.

Get a custody order. Document EVERYTHING, especially her not letting you see your child. Communicate via text/email so you have a record. While family courts are biased against fathers, a lot of judges frown on women who flat out deny the father a chance to be a part of their child's life.

The scrawny hipster is about the same standard that Victoria's Secret models are held to. Would you really want more women to be held to this standard? Would that be easier to live up to? As for it being more acceptable for men to be pudgy, maybe slightly, but it is a lot more acceptable for women to have low muscle mass. Men are judged on a wider variety of factors. We're judged on our height a lot. A 5'1" woman isn't much different from a 5'7" woman, and few guys will reject either one for her…

During the recession, men lost a LOT more jobs than women and at one point the unemployment rate for men was double the unemployment rate for women, due to a lot of losses in construction and the tech industry. When this started coming back, men gained jobs faster than women, but still had a higher unemployment rate. And yet people were complaining about how we needed to do more to help women because the recent job growth was only benefiting men.

but top female tennis players draw smaller crowds and bring in less revenue than top male tennis players, so why should they be paid equally? That's like arguing that WNBA players should get the same salaries as NBA players (which some Feminists do try to argue) or that colleges should have to spend as much money on women's programs as on men's, and can't create men's programs without slashing other ones (which Feminists have succeeded in making a federal law).

Basically, if a parent's name is on the birth certificate, you need their permission to give the child up for adoption.

It's not that the mother was wrong, it's that the father should not be held liable, as he was below the age of consent and therefore did not legally consent, and therefore cannot be held at fault.

Statutory rape laws originally only applied to female victims, and it was because of pregnancy.

I'm pretty sure there are actually laws dealing with rape by deception, it just has a very narrow scope. For example, telling a woman you're a millionaire when you're not, is not rape by deception. Pretending to be your twin brother to have sex with his girlfriend would be considered rape in some jurisdictions, even if consensual. Although apparently courts disagree, you could make a good argument that intentionally lying about contraception is a substantial enough deception to make it rape. Pre…

It's more than simply knowing. When you go to the doctor's office, there's a reason they ask for your family history. Children have a right to know if they have a family history of heart disease, cancer, etc. The Feminists who oppose stuff like this do so at the expense of children.

Adoption, however, is 100% effective. Man gives his rights/responsibilities to the child up the same way as a single mother can give hers up via adoption. If the mother is not able to raise the child on her own, she may give it up for adoption. If the mother is able to raise the child on her own, then she keeps it and raises it on her own. Please show me where the harm is in either one of those scenarios. Hypothetical: A single woman gets pregnant, and for whatever reason is unable to have an ab…

Except that the male reps are all trying to appeal to women, not men. In most jurisdictions, female voters outnumber male voters, and women's groups are far more powerful than men's groups. I mean I get what you're going for, but in reality, we see the exact opposite actually happening

A third of the audience is rape victims? Half the audience is male, and since Feminists don't count male rape victims, that puts her figure at around 2/3 of women are rape victims. Wow. That's pretty high even for feminist propaganda. And I never got why rape jokes are bad, but Catholic priest jokes or Michael Jackson jokes are totally okay.

"Since both consenting adults were "at fault" you each have 50% liability in whatever the outcome is," Well, first of all, one major beef with MRA's is that the man is NOT always a consenting adult, but for now we'll put aside the fact that male rape victims still have to pay child support. Except in cases where the woman raped or deceived the man, and it was indeed a mutual 50/50 act, then the man should be responsible for half the cost of the abortion, if there is one.

The irony being that this is exactly what abusive women do in relationships, and that this is one reason why men's rights groups see custody rights as one of our most important issues. In abusive relationships with children, abusive women frequently use the biased courts to their advantage. Eg, remind the father that "You can't leave me. If you leave me, you'll never see your kids again!" or "If you don't do X, I'll leave and take your kids with me!" And of course, when there is a divorce, the a…

Yeah, it didn't start out as a bad thing. Women were actually being blatantly discriminated against, and schools would refuse to allow women play sports based solely on their gender. So Title IX dealt with that, and stopped schools from discriminating against women... and then political pressure from feminists took it further, and now it is used to prevent men from playing sports more often than it is used to allow women to play sports.

Originally, an act that said that schools couldn't blatantly discriminate against men's and women's sports programs. In practice, it's enforced that if men want to have a sports team at a college, they have to find a proportional number of women who also want to play sports. If a school is 60% female, and there are 40 men that want to play sports, they have to find 60 women who also want to play sports. If only 30 women want to play sports, than only 20 men will be allowed to play. My cousin's c…

Wait do you have a source for the North Carolina law, I've never heard of that. Is it actually enforced like that? I mean in pretty much any jurisdiction, a crime against a woman gets a harsher punishment than a crime against a man, but it's not usually codified.

This is also why self-reported rape surveys have to be taken with a huge grain of salt. Not even getting into the definition of rape used in the surveys, a lot of women view themselves as victims when they aren't. This woman isn't "lying" about rape, she honestly and truly believes she was raped/assaulted. Which means that if she gets asked on a survey, she becomes one of those "1 in 4/5/6" that've been sexually assaulted.

They claim to want equality, but expect to retain privilege. This. Go back in history, and it is clear that men had more rights and more obligations than women. Feminism has made it very clear that they only care about the former, and refuses to even acknowledge the latter.

It's true that "men and women have different brains"... but it's equally true that "men and men have different brains" Yes, Exactly. And everybody acknowledges that. When Joe is a college professor at MIT and Bob is a janitor, we don't say "Well obviously it's because society is discriminating against Bob." But when Joe's a college professor and Sally is a preschool teacher, Feminists claim that men and women are identical, so if there are more male professors than female ones, sexism is the one…

Um, yes, she can. At least depending on the jurisdiction. If a woman says "stop" and the man doesn't stop pretty much immediately, it's considered rape, even if he does stop later. The fact that she probably drunkenly murmured it while he was in the moment would be weighed by the jury, but given all the Feminist influence on rape culture, a jury may well convict, even if it didn't seem he ever heard her ask him to stop the first time. Hell, under NJ law, it was probably rape the moment it starte…

Yeah, I find they usually just sputter in confusion when you actually ask them to point out a specific example of a feminist organization, or themselves personally, taking action to solve this.

No, if it was a manslaughter sentence with a female victim and a male perpetrator it would be waaaay longer than that. This judge didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so who would reprimand him? Feminism has a LOT of power, so he's as likely to get reprimanded if he actually tried giving her a harsh penalty.

Because men don't have any reproductive rights in this country? Women can force a man to accept all of the legal responsibilities associated with a child. Want to stop stuff like this from happening, then stop forcing men to support children they didn't want.

If you have sex with a woman who has been drinking (don't read "drunk"), whether or not you yourself are drunk or sober, and whether or not she gave consent, it is legally considered rape in many states. It is NOT considered rape in most, if not all, states! Feminists push the notion that it should be, feminists statistics use the definition of any amount of alcohol = rape, but in actuality, the judicial system does not follow the feminist doctrine on this.

Common misconception about MRA's, a lot of feminists like to lump us in with mysoginistic Republicans. Truth is, most MRA's are liberal, and fully support gay rights. Anybody who believes that men and boys face problems because of their gender, and that we should work to end these problems, has a space in men's rights. For the record, this even includes those feminists who also recognize that men are often victims of double standards, and that women are often the ones who are privileged.
