Men are not helpless slaves to their DNA or their hormones. Your average Dad or boyfriend is not surreptitiously videotaping women in a school shower JUMP! This proclivity for ignoring women's right to choose who sees them naked or who has sex with them is a manifestation of an unhealthy gender culture in the military, but it isn't unique to that institution. JUMP! What will it take to end this seemingly endless parade of men who harass and undermine military women? I think we need a serious re-…

Evolutionary psychology is questionable at best. While I've argued that it may (at least in part) explain the gender disparity in STEM professions and education, I haven't pretended that it's any more than a guess at a possible source for a bias that owes at least as much (and almost certainly more) to psychology than it does to evolution. It's poorly understood field, and its conclusions are almost impossible to study scientifically. Saying that this kind of behavior comes down to evolutionary …

I tend to pull out my standard defense against solipsism when this one gets thrown out: If I can't tell whether or not (I am real/I have free will), then I'm obviously (designed/fated) to believe that I (am/do), because I believe it. Therefore, the actions that I must take will be the same as those which I would take if I (were real/did have free will), and so it makes no difference - unless I'm wrong, but (designed/fated) to think this way, in which case there is no way to change my conclusion,…

While the experience of the victim is indubitably important, I maintain that intent matters. Take the classic example of a drunk woman who goes home with a stranger. Upon waking up in the morning, she feels that she has bee taken advantage of. From her perspective, she may feel violated; she might even feel like a victim of rape. If she feels that she needs counseling and support, then she should be able to get them. That said, I believe that it's possible for her to feel that she's been raped w…

Is "intentionally targeting someone's genitals" the definition with which you disagree? Yes, because there are numerous circumstances in which that assault is not sexual in nature. In my experience, being kicked in the balls happens most often by accident, or if somebody is fighting dirty. The sexual motivations doesn't exist, as far as I can tell, except in instances where an individual is attacked and humiliated. Based on conversations I've had in all male and all female groups it seems most m…

Mainly because I'm not talking about accidental, incidental or survival based kicks to the balls. I'm talking about the incredibly common, grrl-power girl going up the weedy guy from behind and sexually assaulting him. And this, of course, comes back to your own question: What, in the legal sense, do think is a sexual motivation? Is it something that can be identified externally in a court of law? The reason that most people jump to a fight or accident is because, in most men's experience, that'…

The problem is that the equivalent isn't really that equivalent. while women's pelvises are vulnerable to being broken and/or dislocated when the pubic symphysis is struck, it's no the most painful spot on the body to be hit in. The groin is usually a man's most vulnerable area; the fact that it's also a sex organ is usually a secondary consideration. While that's certainly not always the case, it's a twist of physiology that makes this kind of sexual assault hard to qualify. You could ask "what…

As shitty as it sounds, I don't think that there's a point at which a line can objectively be drawn - it's certainly not the point at which genitals are touched. What's the difference between assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder? Intent. That's not easy for a court to determine, but it's an idea that lies at the foundation of our judicial system. Mens rea applies.

Since she supports the conviction of the Steubenville rapists, I think that it's an example of poor writing which is easy to misinterpret. I believe that she's saying that calking them the same is ridiculous, not that all of them are not rape.

There's a barrier here. here's where it is for me: Do you lie? Answers will vary, and nobody accurately represents themselves the first time they meet someone else, even if they're trying.

behaviors change when the rewards change. If those behaviors have independent merit, then the rewards, being a direct consequence of those actions, will not and cannot change; that's what causality is. Imagine if a man had the license to be as violently promiscuous, without penalty, as a woman currently has to be sexually promiscuous? I'm imagining it. Paint for me a picture of the dire consequences consequences, please.

This is suddenly a problem? I think that forcing people to name a father for the child at birth would carry even worse consequences. At least this way the father has a fair chance of getting his child back if he goes through the judicial system.

In most places, adoption and safe haven abandonments are controlled by both parents or the custodial parent. Very few places place the choice solely and specifically on the woman. The fact that some do is a blatant injustice, but let's not get carried away.

I just refuse to support the improvement of women's problems until feminists(the champions of change for said problems) stop fighting AGAINST improvement of the male condition.

I think that the stigma that it does have has quite a bit to do with the duality of masculinity and femininity, though.

I agree with just about all of it, but • has a more feminine flavour, as opposed to the more masculine flavour of modern discourse; And This distinction also shows why the anti-men's rights feminists are immune to facts and logic.

The term "patriarchy" is one whose definition and relevance are generally considered dubious by feminists in academia.

That said, most of them remain convinced that those constructs have been created solely and entirely due to the hegemony of men. I'll call it 50/50.

Think about it this way: if a woman has sex with a man and tells her she will only consent if he wears a condom, and he does, but he has secretly poked a hole in it, isn't that rape? That's even less clear, because it's pre-act, while the article's example was entirely post-facto.

To be fair, mentions of rape do produce a PTSD-like reactions in many victims. This can take many forms, from flashbacks to discomfort. It's not something to be taken lightly, but like PTSD, it's very hard for people who don't know someone to realize that it's an issue for those people.

The thing is that MMA is a sport. Most martial arts schools will not be sex-segregated, because they are not focused on competition, but rather on learning martial arts. That means learning how to fight opponents of various skill levels, various weights, and both genders. Sports do segregate - they divide the teams/athletes into separate divisions in the interest of fair competition. It makes it more fun to watch when the match is fair.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with admiring physical beauty, whether it's done by men or women. People like looking at sexy people.

Of course, but "Checking up on partner & Withholding information" is a controlling behavior when it becomes pathological. It's always a controlling behavior when it becomes pathological, because it's (to use a terrible metaphor) server-side.

Quite possibly, but the context is very different. When one is attending college, their parents are usually still supporting them. If her father is paying for her tuition, it's part of the role as her father that he's assumed, not part of his role as a man that he's assumed.

NASA made its (arguably) largest leaps when it was competing with the USSR. Entry into any NASA program is extremely competitive, and that competition is based on the capabilities, qualifications, and experience of the applicant. Of course effort is necessary and required, but it's not the deciding factor. Similarly, a person with a debilitating condition of almost any kind, from pregnancy to cancer, is usually not going to be placed in a position of responsibility because they are incapable of …

OK - here's the short version: affirmative action and feminist initiatives have essentially created environments in which women are favored, while men are prevented from advancing.
