They don't bring in the same amount of money as the men for the US Soccer Federation Is that true? Are we sure? Our women's team are the world champions, and our mens team are just in the pack. What's the viewer rate of womens vs mens games?

An equally small number of cases result in convictions, so following the same logic, we should also be claiming that just 2 percent of rape accusations are true. Well, no. About 10% of cases reported to the police result in convictions. We care about statistics being accurate, we should always be accurate with them. But in general I don't see the value in releasing the name of someone accused of a crime, unless they are breaking court dates.

/u/demmian tries to be open minded to alternate views, but doesn't tolerate militant bullshit and expects top comments and posts to be from a feminist perspective to avoid the place becoming /r/femradebates 2.0. which results in criticism from people here and from radical feminists alike.

If men can't choose whether he'll become a father [short of remaining a lifelong virgin] Or becoming sterile, which was my choice. It was a good one--my wife and I don't want kids and have a solid postnuptial agreement (far more enforceable than a prenup) that ensures if we divorce, both of us get treated fairly.

Seems to me it was an amendment made to make the bill toxic, along with the 50/50 childcare time (which is agreeable to us but not so much to the typical person). Made it a sort of 'I dare you not to veto this' type deal. It was the governor who called for the bill in the first place.

Cartman's catchphrase is "Screw you guys" not "Fuck you guys", just FYI. Kind of a bummer that they're actually opposed to the initial supposition of 50/50 time; families are still free to agree upon alternate arrangements when they don't go to court. Is it that hard to prove that such an arrangement shouldn't happen? Also, I kinda get their problem with the 'equalize income for marriages 20+ years' addition. That's total BS and undermines everything else in the bill.

The differences in HIV rates are so minimal, that suggesting circumcision helps prevent the spread of HIV is fucking ridiculous. 100% true here in the US and all our economic partners. But this is africa she's talking about. South Africa, like 25% of the population is infected. Pretty much anything that could slow down the spread there is beneficial, so I don't think it's as far to criticize this.

Outliers becomes a worthy read when considering meritocracy. While you might think it's a pure merit system, really it's often a result of self-fulfilling prophecies. The classic example is Canadian hockey. A disproportionate number of players are born in months early in the year because of the way age cutoffs work for elementary school-level teams. The kids with 9 months on the other 9 year olds are 10% more grown, and thus 10% better...so they get on the highest level teams, and have the most …

Editorialized by OP. What the study actually shows is both men and women are discriminated against if they are working in a lower field (ie retail work for someone with a STEM degree). But only men are discriminated against if they worked part time. Still a problem, but not the right problem.

To put it simply, we need more qualified people for STEM subjects Even this is not true. It's a lie that has been pushed to dilute the strength of labor in STEM fields and drive salaries down. It worked remarkably well in life sciences, where women first gravitated. They now pay shit. It's actively happening now in non-defense oriented engineering fields. Tech jobs still pay bonkers money when you arrive, but every year the growth rate is falling as more people are showing up to take those jobs.…

My first dates were always at a bar. Often happy hour. I usually paid. It was like, an extra $5-6. Good way to short-circuit the whole issue. By the time anything expensive was being enjoyed together, we were paying together. Expensive dates do not speed your path to her bedroom anyway. Not even if she's a gold-digger. Dressing well and seeming like you're successful does the job there; it's about perceived status not purchased status.

Toxic masculinity is sexism against men. A different term is used because feminist theory would be undermined if discussion of men's problems included admission not only that they were subjected to structural inequalities, but that women had a role in creating these inequalities. Same reason we don't call sexism against women "toxic femininity."

only 5 percent have gender restrictions and 6 percent have ethnicity restrictions. There are 4 times as many scholarships for females as there are for males. does this mean that scholarships for both were not counted? if so, that means men have access to 96% of scholarships vs women 99%. A 3% gap IS a gap, but like the remaining unexplained wage gap in CONSAD/AAUW studies, is not a substantial effect.

It makes sense when you consider that until recently feminism has been about middle class white women and their pursuit to have the power that upper class white men have, rather than being about poor/minority women and their pursuit to have equal opportunity with white people/those of higher social classes.

Honestly? No, Sanders won't win. The establishment won't allow it; they'd sooner run Bloomberg aganst him to split the dem vote and elect a republican than let him take office.

AAUW actually released a different study, called "Graduating to a Pay Gap", a few weeks before this one. It was not received well.

The underlying implication is actually pretty relevant: that for some reason, men are failing/dropping out of college more often than women, in addition to not going to college at the same rates. The last two bullets are not very useful though. 5/6 year students are atypical as is.

added that victims shouldn't have to be in classes with their rapists. Important to note this would require some involvement from the university, so it's not like he's saying the school should be entirely uninvolved. But I think even here it would be seen as reasonable for the school to separate a student from someone they allege sexually assaulted them--it would be a hostile learning environment for both parties.

Also the 2 per 1000 number is for adult women only. 2 in 1000 is an average over all ages over 18? The rate is highest for 18-24 year old-women and falls off dramatically for older women. Sure, but it's higher than 2 per 1000 for 18-24 obviously. I think it's fair to use the average as a point to integrate over. But good point about first 18 years of life. There is sexual assault against teens, though; do we have rate data on that? I wouldnt want to start at 18 and leave out all young victims.

Eh, in the real world lots of people who consider themselves feminists but don't wear problem glasses have positive responses when you bring up issues that impact men as their own subject (as opposed to when they're in the middle of talking about issues that impact women).

Have equal maternity/paternity leave and require both parents take it, and ramp up work from home options across the board for anyone who can. My wife is transitioning to 100% work from home because she's a technical writer working proposals, and they need her to work in the middle of the night to meet deadlines, but transmit everything electronically.

It's the men who are most likely to get killed and keeping would-be male refugees in a conflict zone also makes them more likely to take up arms. Except that this was never going to take any refugees out of a conflict zone...because it draws from UN camps. Read my whole post! Taking in any refugees from the camps frees up space for more.

As I said, still sexist. Just not impactful. Given that this is a tiny number of refugees and a short period of time, the impact is not as large. I remain hopeful that their policy going forward in 2016 will not be sexist. And given that they are only drawing from existing UN refugee camps as is, nobody is being brought out of warzones anyway. If anything, the effect on people in warzones is exactly the same--as space is freed up in the UN camps, more people can get to them, and those camps do n…

Because they may make up for leaving out men in this rushed intake that is mostly for PR, by including them in a much larger intake that follows. The fact that it's a relatively low number of refugees, in a very short period of time, mitigates it to some extent. Still sexist, yes. But I can tolerate small insults; if they were blocking single men from all of their refugee intake for the foreseeable future I'd say we should be contacting elected officials nonstop.

They are obsolete, yes...but so are air-to-ground manned fighters as a whole. You can do the same thing with a drone. Or a cruise missile.

As far as 'ability to fight a war', the main thing we need jet fighters for today is air superiority.

Did he not choose that multiple times? I think that is a common criticism levied at women who complain of objectification/sexual exploitation. "Well you agreed to it then, so you must still feel exactly the same!" Keep in mind the circumstances are quite different. Then, he was in control of the situation; now, he is an actor and his choices become 'be objectified' or 'be out of a job'.

Right.

I'm not pursuing ideological purity here. I feel like 'ending male disposability' is like 'crushing the patriarchy'--a relatively impossible idea that encompasses a variety of hard, real problems that need structural/legal solutions. One of those is men getting executed by our state. We'll end that long before men are not seen as disposable.

Behaviors are not created in a vacuum, nor are they taught without a return. Women are socialized to place huge value on appearance of beauty because when they do, men treat them better. Men are socialized to place huge value on appearance of steadiness and control of their emotion because when they do, women treat them better. Perhaps we should be teaching women to be more accepting of men who express emotion rather than demanding men do something that results in them being treated poorly.

In a crowded bar environment, even better move is turn your back to them and straight-up ignore them. I did this all the time in my years going to clubs and bars. I am a big guy and would often walk through people who were in the way. I'd hear some reaction and just keep going. What were they going to do? Any attempt to engage me would result in bouncers getting involved, because I was moving away from them at that point. She attacks from behind? If it's recorded, she'll be the one facing charge…

37% of women don't earn more than their husbands. 15% of women do. Of the 40% of women who are 'primary breadwinners', two thirds are the ONLY earner--as in, single moms. And of that 15%, the family is typically upper middle class, and the amount the woman's salary surpasses her husband's by is quite small. It makes some sense for alimony to not be a factor when both people are capable of supporting themselves, and the actual difference in income is trivial. Also, many states have been revising …

There is a real issue at play, and they are trying to approach it, but it's hard to galvanize public opinion on basis of a 5% salary gap, which is likely the real gap attributable to discrimination. The raw numbers inspire anger and excitement. I don't approve of it but I do understand why they do it.

I'm not willing to risk a few more years of broken condoms waiting for the vasogel stuff to come out on the market. That's fair--as far as the rest of it, that it is reversible can be knowledge just for you if that's what you prefer.

As a note, Parsemus is already doing large-scale animal testing on their version of RISUG which is like vasectomy, but 100% reversible (and cheaper unless your insurance rocks). In a couple years it will likely be on the market. I don't regret my vasectomy, but there's no reason to make an irreversible choice if a reversible choice with the same pros will soon be available.

Don't squeeze the windpipe, squeeze the jugular. Mild blood choke = lightheadedness = sexy feeling for her, dominant feeling for you. High pressure along the side of the neck, thumb over the windpipe. Windpipe choke = collapsed trachea = trip to hospital

Be sure to pressure the jugular. NOT the windpipe. You can crush your girl's windpipe real easy. That is not what you want. Pressuring the jugular cuts some bloodflow and will give a lightheaded feeling many people like.

It is a perfectly reasonable response, for women, when a man is complaining about not enough sex, to assume something else is wrong with his relationship. Here's the problem with this: flip the genders. "My husband isn't showing me any affection at all!" "Well, Jenny, have you been fucking him enough?" It's offensive because it's attempting to place the responsibility on the hurt party, rather than trusting their story as legitimate.

I'm inclined to agree with your underlying point that option 3 (indirect effect) is the optimal approach. I tend to think the bulk of the opposition to your view in this forum stems from the opinion of many here that there is a separate problem--men not going to college at all--that is substantially more important, and that has earned option 1 (forget the problem) from most outside viewpoints.

Yes, they do. My wife was also a virgin from a semi-conservative background, and is very bothered when we meet women I dated/fucked. What I do is bulldoze right over it. "Yes, she was amazing. But you're better." Brutal honesty makes your commitment that much more sincere to her. Beats the hell out of threatening to break up--which is never a good idea as it suggests your will is not absolute and her reactions rattle you. She needs you to stay calm, but still not validate her reactions.

Above all, you need to understand that it's OK to have a 'one that got away'. I think I have fifty 'ones that got away'. I also have an amazing wife, and had a lot of fun on the way to meeting her with a lot of other women, some of whom were amazing, some of whom were terrible, all of whom I learned from. By fixating on not letting this one girl 'get away', you're missing all those other opportunities. Become attractive and embrace the rest of the world.

Men can love a woman unconditionally, but a woman cannot love a man unconditionally unless she is his mother. Train yourself to love women conditionally. Avoid female friends, they get messy.

This is excellent advice.

If she cancels plans and then says anything to the tune of "let me get back to you" I never call again.

This seems more than a bit misleading. Measuring control of wealth purely by expenditure of wealth on consumer products and luxuries is a poor metric. The bulk of wealth in this nation is tied up in stocks, bonds, and derivatives. THOSE are the purchases that matter.

I think most MRAs who legitimately care about the organization's goals agree with the bulk of what feminism says it is about, and with the achievements of past generations of feminists. We are all many things but few to none of us are traditionalists.

Here are some solutions: 1) Don't get married, and don't have children. Have a vasectomy tomorrow, or fly to India and try to get in a RISUG trial. Still use condoms. Date, open up, enjoy yourself but leave if you begin to be pressured to propose. 2) Get married, and don't have children. Kids stress any marriage. Many women who don't want children have much more fair-minded opinions about how to treat their men (because they are never pursuing you as a means to support their desired life choices…

The reason is mostly because of differences in social value--women today do it because they still can. Just as (attractive) men have sex on the first date and never call the girl again because we can. Women stopped being willing to meet some of men's expectations as a group (sex as a commodity exchanged for going on a date that the man paid for), and the dynamics changed. Date rape didn't use to be accepted as a concept. Which was good. Next step? Men should stop being willing to meet women's ex…

Important takeaway: if only 40% of 'breadwinner mom' families actually have a woman out-earning a man, that means only around 20% of married couples actually have the woman out-earning the man.

It's a particularly bad lesson, because they're then wondering why men their own age won't date them...when they were dating men that age when they were 22.

No, the worked hours gap is about 10%. There's another 10% bridge for job choice.

Cuckoldry holds a similar position in the male psyche that rape holds in the female one: it is weighted much, much more severely than the actual physical harm caused by the act itself, and is feared to a completely outsized degree given the likelihood of it happening.
