Talk about kid gloves treatment. I've been at protests where the people were actually challenging power. I've been roughed up pretty badly and seen friends get the shit kicked out of them by cops. These idiots don't even realize that they ARE the establishment. They're like a more pathetic version of the vigilante groups that attacked labor organizers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries while authorities turned a blind eye. Silly kids playing "anarchist".

There is a passage from a Rabbi in the 15th Century specifically touting the benefits of circumcision as a means of reducing the "animalistic" male sex drive. It seems plausible that that was the original purpose. But you're right that we don't know for certain.

Just as Hillary attempts to present her softer side to the nation's electorate, political consultant Roger Stone has alleged that the Democrat front-runner is 'prone to violent outbursts towards her husband and terrorizes her staff and Secret Service agents.' She also claimed that Clinton would become angry when people tried to disagree with her and would hold a vindictive grudge. Interesting. If this was a man his career would be over.

BTW thanks for the link. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRealissues/ Looks like it's growing but still has fairly small numbers. I'll try to spread the word. With typical maturity feminists have resorted to labelling leftists who are critical of modern feminism and identity politics "brogressives," "brocialists" and "manarchists." The fact that they intend these words as insults (when their own bloody movement is called FEMinism) reveals the contempt they have for males.

Welfare recipients trade their votes for "free stuff". You mean corporations? Yes I agree. About $59 billion is spent on traditional social welfare programs. $92 billion is spent on corporate subsidies. So, the government spent 50% more on corporate welfare than it did on food stamps and housing assistance in 2006. http://thinkbynumbers.org/government-spending/corporate-welfare/corporate-welfare-statistics-vs-social-welfare-statistics/ The reason we have social safety nets for women (and prisons…

'privilege check-lists' wealth is never mentioned. It's mentioned, but buried on page 5 in small print. Intersectionality is horseshit. Any rational power analysis would have a breakdown of approximately 90% focus on class and 10% other (race, sex, sexual orientation etc.). Feminism reverses this. Class is given about 10% of the attention while "straight white males" supplant actual elites. This leads to the absurdity of a straight white male homeless man having more "privilege" than a wealthy b…

They took the priniples of Marxism they liked and ditched other parts. This is true. But in the process they basically erased the fundamental idea of Marxism, which is based on class (rather than gender) conflict.

Actually, "rich men" in the 19th C US did indeed bring women into the work force, along with immigrants from as many nationalities as possible, in order to divide the union movement. Labor competition is one of the reasons so many women opposed first wave feminism.

The fact that even MRA's are labelling you a creep shows just how far pedo-hysteria has gone. We now know that -- despite what feminists claim -- fathers and father figures are absolutely vital to the healthy development of children, male or female. I see nothing in your story that would indicate some sort of unsavoury or prurient desire. There's an old saying that "children keep us young."

Some good points. But I think the MRM is already pretty good at calling out hate-mongers. The idea that there are all sorts of "extreme MRA's" running around is largely based on feminist disinformation, ie conflating tradcons and masculinists like Roosh V with MRA's.

Okay article. It's good that she mentions in passing that women are more "exhausted and miserable" than ever (thanks to feminism). This is probably why being a housewife is the "New American Dream": Carley Roney, the editor-in-chief of TheBump.com (and my partner-in-crime on this survey) says she isn’t surprised that women are opting out, given the pressure they face to achieve perfection in all things. “I think it’s all tied up in this Super Woman complex that we have,” she says, “When you’re a…

He doesn't defend the idea. He defends the idea that men should be allowed to have standards. Wouldn't have posted this if he believed that non-virgins should be considered non-marriable, which is rather silly. The point he makes is that women are allowed to have laundry lists of what they want in a man (from being tall to being a millionaire), but when men say they desire something in a mate [something that goes against feminist theory] they are met with outrage.

Conservative-types types realized the first wave was wrong, because women were getting men's rights without enduring men's responsibilities. Actually most of the first wave was made up of rich women whose politics were otherwise "conservative." For example many were white supremacists, and in Europe many feminists did not believe that the franchise should be extended to poor men. Mother Jones said of the suffragettes, "the plutocrats have organized their women." She also didn't care for the idea…

These people don't seem to understand the concept of chivalry. It was a two way street. Men treated women like ladies (indeed practically like royalty) on the condition that they acted like ladies. This is yet another example of feminists demanding that they retain all the benefits of their traditional gender role while men are not only denied said benefits but openly attacked as oppressors. Sickening.

The push for women in STEM etc. is really about wage reduction. Two drivers of higher wages are low supply and longer experience. By pushing women into STEM, the supply of workers is increased. Many will retire early, or take leave to have children. They thereby contribute to a drop in the average experience level. Disagree with this. I think feminists are simply running out of issues, so the gender imbalance in STEM is a logical area of focus. The push for education of women in 3rd world countr…

One could argue that the government didn't have a right to sell off these things, and that they righfully belonged to individual people, or groups of people.. Indeed. And yes, I agree. There was a lot of betrayal and exploitation of Russia's vulnerable position by western governments during the period. Yes.

There seems to be growing suspicion that the 4chan post was just a troll (apparently "I'm gonna commit x illegal act" posts happen there daily).

Rape is also very difficult to prove. Doesn't stop us from trying. Do you really think the recent case of two young women falsely accusing a cab driver of rape when they couldn't come up with the fair (he was only able to escape charges because he had video proof) would have done so if they knew they could have been given long jail time?

Though I agree that she should not be be charged with murder, there should be SEVERE penalties for false rape accusations (if they are proven beyond a reasonable doubt). It's not just about the massive social harm done to the victim. Making a false accusation is basically intent to have someone kidnapped and falsely imprisoned for perhaps decades in an environment where they may themselves be subjected to rape and torture.

where do they hang out IRL to plot their feminist agendas? Universities, government buildings etc. It's not exactly a secret.

The Soviet Union didn't fall into economic decline under late stage communism.

All political parties suck when it comes to men's rights and issues, albeit typically in different ways. For example homelessness (presumably mostly men) increased by 40% in the UK under Cameron.

Feminism doesn't solve problems. It creates problems. Ultimately I could see gender segregation becoming the norm again. Maybe even quasi-"patriarchal" institutions re-introduced as a backlash to insane feminist policies. Perhaps this is why religious cultures have such strict sex segregation: they tried the alternative and it didn't work. Kind of depressing to consider.

Actually propertied women in New Jersey were given the right to vote at the time of the country's founding. Also, in most states women voted in local elections. Not really all that relevant however as women didn't need the right to vote to exercise power, political or otherwise. It's also not comparable to eg Irish Americans or blacks because most women didn't want the right to vote, as they believed in separate spheres of power. That only changed in the early 20th C.

Nonsense. If a person shows up at a Police Station saying "Help, someone just stole my car", the correct response isn't "Bullshit, prove it".

Sexual assault allegations in particular can be made with zero evidence and have MASSIVE repercussions for the alleged perpetrator. So no, we shouldn't "listen and believe."

A system that allows millions of children to starve every year despite an abundance of wealth and food, or that allows people to be homeless when there are record numbers of empty houses and apartments is not an efficient or moral system. I'm not a communist either in case you're wondering. Here's a link to the book in question: http://www.alfiekohn.org/brighter-side-human-natu…

I don't think the birthmother was "evil" - wanting your child not to grow up in an environment of endemic poverty isn't "evil" Would you feel the same way if a father kidnapped his son from her mother and moved to a country with a non-extradition treaty?

From a feminist in the comments: The super problematic thing about all of these angry men shouting "FALSE RAPE" each time a false rape happens, is that MOST of the time, statistically, the rape ISN'T false. I don't know why SO many men are angry about about false rape cases, when there are MILLIONS of true rape cases to talk about. I am a feminist, and I like most of your videos, Nate, because the social justice warriors & radical feminists bug me. But this video seems to be focusing on the wron…

Sorry, that last reply was a little harsh, but these sorts of cases make my blood boil. Hopefully now that I posted the additional information you can see that she is indeed a serial predator.

While there's a massive gender gap in sentencing, these two cases are not the best for a direct comparison. You're probably right about that. That was not my post.

Excellent piece by Heather MacDonald. This second reading is unthinkable in today’s university, however, where the male is always responsible for regretted couplings, and the female a wilting victim. If this sounds like a resurrection of Victorian values, that’s because it is, but with one major difference: The modern college co-ed retains the prerogative of unbounded promiscuity (think: “sex-positive”), while also retaining the right to revert at will to a stance of offended innocence.
