Do you really think people in African war zones care what some stupid white Americans think? What? That response doesn't make sense. 1) I don't think that the staff of the commissioning orgainzation is very white, stupid, or American 2) I didn't say anything about convincing Africans of anything 3) I'm pointing out that it's absurd to claim that 3/4 of the male population of a country, or even 1/3, is clinically insane. If you believe that all perpetrators or supporters of GBV are clinically ins…

They're all DV cases. A shooting is a shooting. However, if a parent shoots their child, the case takes on a whole different set of problems. Or if the child is an infant. Same if the child shoots their parent. Or a child shoots another child. Or if the person who got shot was attacking the other person. Or robbing the other person. Why would they rob them? Were they poor, or just mean? Do they live in a wealthy area, or a poor one? If it's a poor one, could it be gang related? What motivated th…

First, supplying me with a source for the definition is about a worthwhile as supplying me with a definition of racism that excludes whites as possible victims. They're all bigots or ignorant. The source is the UN, so... figured that the international consensus on the issue would be pretty legitimate. But fine, whatever. How exactly is the violence different when it's male on female vs female on male? My personal stance is that they're exactly the same, but I'm willing to hear a counter argument…
/r/MensRights06/11/12 08:30 PM

What on earth makes you think that? You think that every DV case is the same? That they're all committed for the same reasons, and can be handled with the same response, regardless of who commits it against whom, where it's committed, how wealthy the parties are, the races of the parties, the nature of the relationship? I thought it was pretty obvious that those are all important factors. In Disney movies, heroically talking down to criminals makes them realize the error of their ways. In real l…

Not it does not. Crazy people are crazy and should be dealt with accordingly. Missed this bit. This statement assumes that all men (or people) that perpetrate or believe that sexual violence is O.K. are crazy. That simply isn't true. Take a look at this, for example: a study in the Congo found that 1/3 of men admit to perpetrating assault, and that 3/4 believe that if a woman is dressed provocatively, she deserves or even wants to be raped. Do you really think that 33.3% of the male DRC populati…

So when a woman beats her boyfriend or husband it's not gender based violence? What is it exactly? Domestic violence and misandry. There isn't enough scholarly thought on men's issues to have assigned a term like GBV, which is a problem in and of itself. DV is DV, but it takes on different contexts and effects based on who perpetrates it against whom for what reasons. I have no obligation to pick fights with violent men. When you interrupt violent men while they are trying to perform violent act…

What a load of horseshit. If that's your definition of gender-based violence, you're a goddamn idiot. That's not my definition, that is the definition. Also, you may be illiterate, because the poster was clearly talking about violence by men against women. They don't mention other men other than "gays". No concern in the other 9 piles of shit. The title does not say "Sexual Violence." It says "Gender-based violence." I'm not disputing that the poster is talking about violence by men against wome…

There was a paper showing 10 ways men can prevent sexual violence, the paper completely targets men as the sole perpetrators of rape,domestic abuse, and sexual assault. Um, the paper is titled "10 Ways that Men can prevent Gender-based violence." Gender-based violence refers to the perpetration of the crimes that you mention by traditional genders against nontraditional genders, categorized as such because their occurrence is linked to systemic cultural beliefs and attitudes about gender. The pa…

Saying that "it can be reasonably expected at some point" acts as if rape is some uncontrollable force of nature that you have to prepare against, like having an umbrella for a storm. The problem with that mentality is that, when someone comes back inside after being rained on, it's absurd to say to them "It shouldn't have rained on you." Instead, we say "You should have brought an umbrella." But rape isn't a force of nature; it's bad people making conscious decisions to do harm. It's selfish pe…

You think that rapists rape because they want sex? Male rapists, generally speaking, rape because they feel entitled. 9 times out of 10, a rapist will have perfectly consensual sex. It's that one time that their partner doesn't consent, however, where they'll believe that they have the right to take it anyway. These people especially believe that women owe men sex if the man has bought drinks, paid for the date, or if the woman has been flirting or consenting to other sexual activity, or if the …

Difference there is that the black person isn't performing any sort of action - he's just being black. Your comfort simply cannot be provided for. That's called a phobia, and you need counseling. Try again.

It's not a woman's comfort, it's a human being's comfort. How is that not some sort of infinite social good? You should try to actively avoid saying things that make other people feel threatened. If a gentleman caller wishes to interact with a lady, first he must offer his calling card to her chaperone and wait with eyes down cast until she allows him to speak to her. Not sure what this load of bullshit is, but it isn't what anyone here is talking about.

Like I said to the other guy, human communication is not simple. And yeah, if there's a chance that what you're about to say could make another person feel threatened, you just shouldn't say anything. Edit: Of course, I'd like to think that most socially capable men are able to talk to people without doing any of the things that I mentioned. It's not that hard. Just be polite and respectful.

Your logic here appears to be that any factual claim by anyone about anything can be proven wrong simply by some other person making another claim regardless of any evidence for either claim. No, my logic is that you're making a sweeping generalization about a group of people while at the same time decrying a sweeping generalization about another. My logic is that you shouldn't make sweeping generalizations. Justify what you're saying. That's my point.

No, you're putting words in mouths. Calm down. The fact that the bias was unanimous and uncontested suggests that it's institutional, and not an active effort on the part of men against women, or on part of women against women.

Male and female teachers surveyed displayed statistically similar levels of bias against female applicants, in that they were less likely to say that they'd be hired in the first place, assigned them a lower starting salary and level of competence, and were less willing to offer career counseling to them. You believe that all of that is explained by men being taught by the evil feminists that they shouldn't be alone with a female student? And that the low ratings 1) in every other category and 2…

There was a debriefing. They were asked why the decisions that they made were made. They said it was based on competence. They were asked if they were comfortable with the results being shared. They said yes. What am I misunderstanding?

No, I'm pointing out that your accusations against feminism are flawed. I know plenty of feminists who have a very holistic view on gender equality, one that falls in line with everything that the modern Men's Rights Movement, from my understanding of it. Just as I'm sure that there are many MRA's that hold belief systems that fall in line with modern feminism. What you're doing, however, is claiming that everyone who identifies as a feminist is a member of a hate group and wants to see systemic…

The results were based on competence, and when debriefed, the subjects said that the results were ones that they'd comfortably share with the "students." There was a debriefing and they were all comfortable with the reviews that they give, believing them to be based on competence and nothing more.

They suggested a likely salary that the person deserved. They made that selection based purely on merit; factors such as how much money they had to offer, or what lab they were applying to, or what the funding of the lab was, or the number of other staff members, or the past salaries of past managers for that lab, etc. were not relevant because they weren't actually hiring. Btw the mentoring is less for women because male teachers are often advised to never get too close to women for fear of bei…

Feminists are not interested in sex equality, they are a hate movement that promotes female supremacy and sex segregation through attacking men. The same has been said about the MRM. You are equating "men and women" with "MRAs and feminists". How so? I'm saying that men and women are discriminated against because of their gender. Then, in a separate clause, I'm saying that those who consider themselves activists (MRA's and Feminists) should work together to end these discrimination. No false equ…

Human communication is not a simple matter. Of course there is a lot of nuance. If you say "nice dress" with a tone of voice and body language that imply you're talking about something else? Sure, it's focusing on sexuality. If you say nice dress in a tone of voice and body language that imply genuine interest in the dress itself? Then no, it's about the dress. If the compliment about the suit is "you look sexy in that suit" or "that suit shows off your ass" or is accompanied by the body languag…

You're kidding me. That's frankly sickening. Did you know that men and women can be platonic friends too? Like, that a guy and a girl can have a lot in common and talk and be friends WITHOUT wanting to have sex with one another, or with one wanting to have sex with the other? Did you know that two strangers can have a conversation as HUMAN BEINGS, not as man-pursuing-woman? Women aren't pieces of meat. Stop looking at them like pieces of meat.

Because women should be receptive to every man who might decide to compliment them, right? They should never read or listen to their ipod for fear that they might offend some poor man who wants nothing more in life than to genuinely tell her that she's pretty? Fuck those girls for wanting to be left alone, ever.

So you really only talk to women if you want to have sex with them? Not because they're human beings with stories and experiences and values and knowledge? It's no wonder that you're still a virgin. Sex isn't the point of interactions with a female. It's a byproduct of a healthy relationship, which encompasses a whole bunch of other things that you clearly don't give a damn about.

You're making skewed assumptions about all men based on your own personal experience. Just because YOU can't look at a woman without wanting to have sex with her doesn't mean that the rest of us can't.

You sound an awful lot like the crazy feminists who believe that all MRA's are rape-apologists. You don't know all feminists, nor can you make such sweeping generalizations with any credibility. You're clearly not the kind of person I was hoping to hear from here. Thanks anyway.

As I said in an earlier comment, the participants here didn't think that they were hiring, and therefore were not considering the financial and logistical implications of hiring the person. They were assessing the applications based on merit, and providing feedback on qualification level and deserved salary based on their professional experience, believing that their feedback would be given back to the "applicants" for their own use. Maternity leave and the like wasn't a factor at all.

I'm asking to to perhaps consider the fact that this isn't a goddamn competition and that men and women can be pretty shitty to one another from time to time, and that wouldn't it be great if intelligent MRA's and intelligent feminists could work together to fix the problems that face everyone because of their gender? In order to do that, though, I've got to point out that women still face, despite the many advances that have been made, good ol'-fashioned discrimination in the workplace. We DO N…

Perhaps people could, ya know, talk casually first, get to know each other, and establish, to a reasonable level of certainty, that the other person would be open to the idea of discussing sex? Or perhaps, when saying "you look very nice today" the woman responds "thanks! you don't look so bad yourself," use that as an opportunity to strike up a conversation? Because there was reciprocity? Is that really so hard?

...but if the identical applications had received similar results, than the outcome wouldn't have even happened in the first place. That had nothing to do with the MSS. They just gave two groups of professionals identical stacks of applications, changed the names, and said "here, rate these." Then they received back ratings that were different to statistically significant degrees, on an independently determined scale for the practice of rating applicants. The methods to which you're referring di…

If you do it in a way that focuses on an element of her sexuality, or in an aggressive tone of voice, or in a way that makes her feel uncomfortable, or with accompanying body language that sexualizes what you're saying, or in a circumstance where she doesn't have an easy exit (i.e., you're seated waiting for a bus, are on a bus/metro, are in line somewhere, etc.) then yeah, you're a creep.

It seems like the Princeton study says the same thing; whatever discrimination they found came from men and women, and with all participants believing that the students should see their evaluation results, meaning that no one had any qualms with the evaluations that they gave, despite the fact that they were demonstrably biased.

I never replied to that response because the thread was dead, but believe me that I didn't "cherry pick" the data; that was the data that I knew based on what I've learned. It was correctly pointed out to me that it was false. I don't rely on it any more. You haven't shown me how this data is false, because the fact that the researcher has her own beliefs doesn't implicitly mean that her results are flawed.

As a straight, masculine man who has had sex with multiple female partners, I have genuinely given compliments to females based on their looks that are not sexually motivated, and done so in ways that do not make them feel uncomfortable. Your whole premise is based on your personal experience, and there's my premise, based on my personal experience. It seems that we're at an impasse, unless you'd like to stop generalizing about women and men and make a legitimate point. Sexuality is private. Men…

Page 2, fig. 1, shows the results of the ratings by the faculty subjects. The scale that they used was not invented for this study - it was a previously established and reviewed scale used for the practice that they were simulating. The reason that they used different groups was because the female (n=63) and male (n=64) applications were identical save for the name. If the same group reviewed both sets, they'd know what was up and the study would be flawed. They went through careful selection pr…

Well, yeah, that's how science works. You determine what you're looking for and then follow procedures that allow you to measure it. They weren't questioning whether or not baises exist, they were trying to determine the degree behind it and the reasons for it. Modern Sexism Scale aside, the black-and-white fact from the study is that the identical female participants were either rejected/assigned a lower salary over their male counterparts. If that hadn't happened, then the study would have con…

I'd have to agree - it seems likely that there was an element of "looking for sexism" on the part of the lead researcher. That said, I don't see anything that implies that her findings are inaccurate. The article also doesn't make the claim that this is the sole reason for women's under-representation in sciences; it just suggests that it may be a factor. The professor in question here isn't a WS researcher; she works on bias and stereotypes, and not just against women in science hiring processe…

I posted this to have a rational, logical discussion with people who disagree, because, as a man, I've found myself leaning more and more towards feminism. I want to have that belief challenged, because that's the only way that you can be sure of your beliefs.

The participants didn't think that they were hiring the students themselves, they thought that they were reviewing their qualifications and providing an impartial, expert analysis for use at the students' career center. So the logistical and scheduling problems of maternity leave were really not likely to be a factor in their minds, as they weren't hiring for their own personal labs, just giving feedback on a resume and estimating a starting salary.

In this study, they asked the subjects to justify their decisions. Remember, the applications were identical, save for the male/female name. When asked why the female applicant was rated lower, the responses were reasoned, logical, and gender-nonspecific arguments explaining that the applicant was poorly qualified or not competent. These responses were not present for the identical male applications. Maternity leave was not a factor in any of the responses.

Wait, what? Women should feel GRATEFUL that nearly all compliments directed towards them are of a sexual nature or have sexual undertones? They should be HAPPY that all men that speak nicely to them only want to get in their pants? Are you serious?

I have a lot of problems with this post. In order: "There are twenty videos in this series. Ten of them focus on men as aggressors in a rape scenario. One focuses on women." According to the Bureau of Justice and the National Institute of Justice, that division of the videos is portraying women as perpetrators a bit too much.
