I have no idea, but the bitchng to legitimate constructive criticism ratio has gone to by orders of magnitude recently. I think the mods should do something about it, ad what I mean by "something" is to push all the crap into /r/mensrants.
You already require written consent to use copyrighted material, removing that requirement would be paramount to removing copyrights. Innocent until proven guilty is to protect against false accusations and convictions, it is the definite lesser of two evils which does allow some exploitation to occur. I do not think the two scenarios are particularly comparable.
It comes off as stupid, they may as well call me pig-dog with a horribly stereotypical Chinese accent, either way I will just laugh at them and ignore it.
This sounds like a dated law which nobody cares about, considering Russia is the country which 'gassed' like a hundred hostages with what amounts to super-heroin and wrote off the while operation as a success because they killed all of the bad guys and none of their guys died.
The idea of a universal age of consent is to make things easier for the courts, it doesn't mean there should't or can't be exceptions. Ever heard of statutory rape? that is pretty much an exception.
To be fair, /r/askwomen is meant to be a subreddit for asking women about stuff, but all they have are women giving their own interpretations of how they think women think, I would be pretty pissed and intolerant in that situation as well.
It all comes down to profits, not necessarily monetary profits but general gains. Remarkably similar to car companies which do whatever it takes to make money even if it is detrimental to another group, Feminists will do whatever it takes to profit/benefit their demographic even if it is detrimental to another group, such as Rolls Royce.
We should set clear and achievable goals and then disband when they are accomplished. Do you remember how the Civil Rights movement turned into the Black KKK after it achieved its goals? neither do I, and that is a good thing.
Do you have a source for that? I doubt the cost difference between stalls and urinals is significant, men cost more in terms of equipment usage, and so long as women show up then listing space as female-only makes no difference.
If it was a quality film I would watch it, especially if it took female limitations and capabilities into effect, that would make for a good spy movie.
All true, but because they have all of those things their Feminists are on the defensive, they are more or less docile unless disturbed and last I checked most people here don't give a particular shit about Switzerland.
TwoX has changed a lot since it became a default subreddit, but all of the actual Feminist subs are still pretty damned different from us, in relevant ways.
It adds up and the point is that necessary products and services should not be taxed, like food, trustees fees, and a few other things. That is 40$ a year for 40 years, because every woman buys them.
Alternatively they are suggesting that the worst part of actual assault is not physical, that having your feelings hurt is on-par with having your leg broken.
No it isn't and no it doesn't, female models are objectively more valuable. But my point was that the positions are not the same, not so much as lets say engineers or doctors where the only sex/gender distinction is artificial.
Nah, it will be GTA:V from a female characters perspective, probably in some kind of government agency or other male-dominated field...and will almost certainly involve raping men with flashlights. Damn, I would actually buy that.
Sure, but at this point it should be assumed that she is lying, rather than the usually correct assumption that someone might be lying. The only change should be maybe a lower priority and sticking her in jail during the investigation.
No, the sentence should be to protect everyone else from her, not just arbitrarily punish her for being a shitty person. A relatively short prison sentence, followed by a shitload of community service, followed by a permanent "Assumed to be lying." mark on her criminal record would be better.
How about spending the day on an awesome warship or something? they have a nuclear-powered battle-cruiser with anti-submarine rocket-mortars...and probably a cat.
An increase could definitely be more pertinent than higher rates, it means something has changed and that means something can probably be done about it.
"Women are, men do." Lesbians are still women by every metric, men are not 'real men' unless they take care of women somehow, at least in societies eyes...and in a somewhat objective sense.
Almost, people get to make up new meanings for old words. Feminism can be accurately defined as 'an advocacy for the advancement of women' without connotation.
Not quite, nimrod. Meanings for words inevitably change over time and dictionaries only try to stay up to date. If you do not know the current meaning of a word then that is your fault and your problem.
Women are the most relevant party because they complain more. In theory this could solve the problem without making another one. Just think of it like an overflow valve.
His stance is (presumably) against women taking over the men's room but his solution is to replace urinals with stalls for women, that does not make sense.
I'll reiterate; Women's physical fitness standards are so low as to be functionally non-existent. There are probably paraplegics who can meet them. I'm a guy who goes outside less than once a week, and I can meet women's fitness requirements. I can't even run uphill.
I know that being able to carry your own weight, literally and figuratively, is important and that anyone who cannot you should not be in the military.
Age at least has some redeeming qualities, such as experience. Would you lay off the 45 year old cop with 25 years experience because he scored lower on physical fitness tests than the 20 year old?
True but irrelevant, we're talking about the difference between dying and not dying...and possible hardships either way, which are probably associated with being shot.
Isn't this pretty typical when you start recording something? you start out being bad at it and get better over time, in this case resulting in higher numbers?
TL;DR; They compare gross earnings and then take relevant factors into account, a well conducted study will result in a ~2% unexplained earning gap which is then attributed to gender discrimination or whatever other political motif. The problem is that you literally cannot take every factor into account and there is a tonne of room for bias, not to mention blaming anything you can't explain on speculative bullshit like some moron who watched a half an episode of Holmes.
Because women want to play chess, and if men were allowed to compete against them then they wouldn't be able to. That would be like desegregating Olympic sprinting.
That's from an Israeli report, the TL;DR is that a woman in a male squad brings down the whole squad, so they segregate them and if there aren't enough women to make up an entire [insert unit size] they do nothing rather than do the wrong thing.
True, but the Soviets had already kicked Japan out of mainland China. It's not like Stalin just wrote "Invade Japan" on his fridge, they were already at war and were kicking ass. We're not talking about an invasion or occupation, we're talking about a Japanese counter-offensive.
That's about it actually, they had taken China and were vaguely planning to invade if they needed to, but it wasn't exactly a priority. The main point is that they could have. Guerilla warfare isn't relevant in this context.
Right, the Eastern Bloc countries behind the Iron Curtain were so very free, prosperous, and successful that they are world leaders in technology and innovation today like Japan... You're being dishonest. The USSR was relatively free and prosperous compared to most countries, and they were definitely world leaders in technology and innovation, until their economy imploded and their society nearly collapsed. North Korea really was Best Korea for a while.
5 years is a long time, by the end of the war the Soviets were the most organized, experiences, armed, and generally capable land-power in the world. Irrelevant, Japan couldn't counter-attack with wooden ships.
Nice try. The US had the option of simply blockading Japan and waiting for them to give up since Japan had no steel, no oil, no rubber, etc. Although it's worth noting by this time the Soviets had kicked Japan off mainland Asia and were preparing their own invasion.
This is probably meant to mitigate overflow from the women's room. Edit: Downvotes without reasonable explanations or retorts will be interpreted as upvotes.
My point is that there are a LOT of different metrics for intelligence and some of them don't make sense. My mother still doesn't understand why "I prefer purple." is not a valid answer to "Do you prefer blue or red?".
It's not 'even' because fictional technological development is largely plot driven. Star Trek technology is observably superior to Star Wars technology in almost every way but because of the scale used in writing the fastest ship in Star Trek cannon is still slower than the slowest ship in Star Wars cannon, and both of those ships fit inside the TARDIS, because plot.
My point has been that the comparison is stupid, one can be logically reasonably argued and supported while the other cannot. You may as well have compared circumcision to the Holocaust, both are bad but they have nothing else in common. And this is the internet, everything said is to be taken literally/seriously unless otherwise specified or you feel like being offended.
You were clearly arguing that not having feet is better than having feet. Do you need the comments copied down in order, or can you figure it out yourself?
Okay...are you or are you not arguing that feet are of equal or greater importance or necessity than foreskin? because that's what I'm arguing against.
Because they were offered to become a default and accepted, I for one do not want to see /r/mensrights because a default sub, maybe a related sub but not this one.
Equal opportunity invariably leads to unequal results, they are mutually exclusive concepts. I'm amazed how some people seemingly refuse to grasp this concept.
Not exactly; Men 16-25 are worse in almost every way, but men 25+ are safer drivers, but men 25+ still drive enough to cause the majority of accidents. Then it switches back at 65+.
It currently prompts self-reflection along the lines of "Do I support these things?" but if you added quotes and names then it changes to "Do I support these people?".
I think it is more about self reflection than anything else, some reads the top and agrees with it, reads the middle and agrees with it, then reads the end and is forced to question the middle. It doesn't matter if anyone has ever openly supported those things.
Actually, British men and women could vote equally as land owners since at least 1860, then in 1910 they could vote equally as potential servicemen (women had to opt-in), then in 1920 the requirements for women to vote were removed.
This is quite possibly the most well made poster I have ever seen; Maybe I just have low or unusual standards. I wonder how /r/Feminism would react to this, lets find out. Banned in less than 24 minutes with no discussion and the only comment is concern-trolling.
And how well informed they are, I've coaxed Feminists into supporting "Equal eligibility for Selective Service." and then told them what that means, then they flip their shit.
...depending on relevant factors. Ever heard of thermal expansion? it's a relevant factor in machining which will turn your nice round figure of 16 into a kilometre long monster of digits starting with roughly 16.
I've always found it interesting to read books with a female perspective to see how different they are. "And then Gwenny...kissed the goblin chief and ran away? wtf, she had a fucking sword, shoulda killed that windowlicking-asshat and become chief that way."
The answer of course is that gender is an integral part of their identity. Not on the internet where everyone is by default a genderless, faceless, emotionless, and colourless username.
It's still the law that if a woman is driving, her husband must lead the car by 50 paces with flags to indicate that behind him is a woman driver. Victoria BC, and no I'm not joking.
It largely depends on definitions used, if you only count black eyes as domestic violence then it's the results will be massively biased against men, but if you count threats, blackmail, taunting, etc then you will have much more equal and fair results.
The top three comments crack me up. This is the angriest evidence based argument i have ever read They didn't just get schooled, they got term-papered. Damn son I can guarantee a woman makes more than a man in prostitution. It's 2015! Cum on guys!
Do you know if they have the same requirements and responsibilities? I know Israel conscripts women but they serve for less time and in less dangerous situations.
