Any open forum that is not strictly moderated is going to be a victim to the court of public opinion. The list of people I have discussions about gender with is extremely short, shorter than the list of people I'm willing to talk about politics and religion with. I personally think that's the best route; find some folks IRL you can start to have conversations with. Don't lead with "I think feminism can be harmful," but with topics that oppose feminism directly far less. Maybe mention some victor…

Than white men. Ignoring this fact is at best disadvantageous and at worst will be seen by anyone you're arguing with as dishonest and reason to stop believing anything you say. Besides, you can use this fact to your favor: "Women of all races get shorter sentences than even white men, who are the shortest-sentenced male demographic."

Any company that takes an honest look at why there's more men than women will quickly see that their proportions among employees match their proportions among applicants. Any company shooting for 50/50 or even just "more women" will only be able to achieve this by positive discrimination in favor of women.

[Citation needed] Ask for examples. Ask what feminism is doing about key issues like rampant male suicide or workplace deaths. What they're doing about the lack of available support for the men that make up 75% of the homeless and about 50% of domestic abuse victims. (If they challenge you on the last one, the absolute most conservative estimates still put it in the double digits, at which point you can challenge them on why they're willing to bend over backwards for single digit percentages lik…

A large scale war in the vein of World War III is incredibly unlikely (though I won't rule it out completely). WMD has made conventional warfare all but obsolete, not to mention the changes in warfare in the last ~20 years with things like drones, and this likely will hold true for Iran. Essentially we can lean on Eonstein's quote that he didn't know what weapons WWIII would be fought with, but WWIV would be fought with sticks and stones.

Not to mention the great political divide. People around me think it's a fucking miracle that I, a socialist, am planning on marrying a Republican.

Women are not a homogenous group. Treating them as if they are is sexist and terrible behavior not only towards them, but yourself. I'm citing no fewer than three examples of women who would be my shoulder to cry on in an instant and your response is to dismiss them because they're women. Do some trospection. Women do this and advocate other women to do this towards men all the time. Yet they don't consider it sexist; they consider it "safety". And you want to be like the women you're talking ab…

I'd say it's because the emotions Democratic politicians play on are more complex - rather than simply putting one's own self first like Republicans, they need to quantify the great pissing contest of who suffers more. Some people believe it's this group, some people believe it's that group.

While you're right that it could happen, there's exactly zero reason. It's a public park, and the government can't issue tresspassing notices. If all he's doing is reading, the officers can't tell him to leave, or arrest him. So if step one is read in a park and step two is get arrested for same, then step three is sue the city for unlawful arrest and step four is profit.

Female employees are not immune from bad reviews. A review takes documentation to support it. Any workplace big enough to do reviews is gonna have a standard metric to hold all its employees to, and then discrimination suits are gonna get dismissed in no time flat.

I don't understand why people are downvoting you, this is exactly the answer. Less qualified women are going to get in at a higher rate, then flunk/transfer out at also a higher rate. Of course, that in and of itself is gonna be ~problematic~ or whatever, so the next logical step is making classes easier. That's when you start looking more closely at the degree and maybe demanding a higher bar, such as internship experience with good reviews.

Yeah, can we talk about how males don't get any emotional support? Call up a suicide hotline and they'll get mocked. Tell someone you get raped and they tell you you should enjoy it.

Weird way to spell "should" or "is bound by oath to" Their oath states to uphold the constitution, which includes non-discrimination laws since that's where they draw their power from.

It's not a pissing contest. Oppression can happen anywhere to anyone. But this isn't irrelevant here.

This is actually the first case I've heard of where an unbiased jury could apply jury nullification. The law (generally, at least) doesn't have any allowance for being deceived, which is in some ways for the better as then it gets into one party's word vs the other and beyond a reasonable doubt gets really tricky. But if both parties testify that there was deception, the jury could reasonably say "to hell with the law, he had no idea she was underage."

Or the establishment faces the consequences for allowing minors in adult only space. It's important to add "knowingly" to this phrase. There used to be minors who dressed up and got fake IDs to look convincingly in their 20s/30s so they could get with musicians. Either way, the minors should also face consequences for getting into where they weren't supposed to. If they were trespassing in Area 51 they'd face charges, why not here?

How do I know she was cheating? She was performing sexual acts with someone other than the partner she was married to, that's basically the definition of cheating. The fact that those sexual acts were also statutory rape just makes it that much worse.

I didn't address that explicitly but the only crime she seems to be technically guilty of is slander. Trouble with that is it's a civil offense rather than criminal, and only basis for a lawsuit.

By the common law definition of murder, which falls in line with second degree murder in the US, the argument would be over whether or not she had malice aforethought. The two states of mind a prosecutor could argue she had are "Reckless indifference to an unjustifiably high risk to human life" and "Intent to commit a dangerous felony." The former is defeated by the defendant claiming she didn't realize her accusation could be that dangerous to human life, while the latter is defeated by the fac…

Technically, it's either murder or voluntary manslaughter. Could be Murder I if the guy specifically intended to kill the driver, Murder II if the intention was only serious bodily harm, or Voluntary Manslaughter (aka Murder III) if it was a crime of passion. If the guy gets a lawyer who has two functioning brain cells, he's probably gonna plea down to the manslaughter charge, and I doubt he'd even be charged with Murder I in the first place.

All it takes is a moment of premeditation to be murder. Technically, it doesn't even take that. Definition of common law murder (which falls in line with the American second degree murder) requires malice aforethought, which includes the intention to grievously harm someone or to commit a dangerous felony even if there was no intention to kill. If there was a specific intention or plan to kill someone, that upgrades you from murder two to murder one in American jurisdiction. Voluntary manslaught…

Nope, conspiracy involves some discussion/planning. From this page it appears she committed slander, which is a civil charge rather than a criminal charge. Were the driver alive, he could reasonably sue if he could prove damages; this right may pass to his estate. Based on the wiki page, manslaughter is the right charge if there is one. Specifically, involuntary manslaughter under the "constructive manslaughter" heading.

You still seem to be missing the point. This mindset, while annoying, isn't the heart of the issue.

You're kinda missing the point. This is a "rule" being shared between women, setting standards for men as a whole. Imagine for a second that it was the other way around - that men told each other not to date a woman if, say, she can't cook 6 courses a day, can't fit into anything smaller tham size 6 jeans, and can't pleasure you 6 times a week. Edit: Apparently this wasn't clear enough, but my issue is that this behavior is acceptable in women but considered despicable in men.

The crime would still be sexual in nature, likely sexual assault or even rape depending on the finer points of the law. Except that the actual law and criminal courts will be involved and you'll likely be found guilty. Admittedly, audio will likely land you in a lot less trouble than anything visual. And tbh, there really is no solution in a world of listen and believe. Especially when that can include cases determined by dreams the accuser had.

While I see your point, the trouble is that - as mentioned in the post - females have been equal to males for a while, but feminism is still going. They're still getting victories over men, leading to men being oppressed via the Duluth model, biased family, divorce, and criminal courts, etc. And even today there's well-known feminists and organizations fighting against equal custody laws, promoting affirmative action, and pushing for "listen and believe" burdens of proof in take cases involving …

I suppose you're right, but splitting hairs a little bit. Even if it wasn't technically feminism, the first wave had strong roots in their immediate predacessors and was almost more of a culmination of their work than a separate thing.

Unfortunately for Frank, every man past his early twenties has a family to support so they go to Bob across the street who's willing to pay more.

Mqybe this is a unique case, but the simple truth is that any divorce lawyer worth a penny will tell the woman that she can milk the man for damn near every penny he has, plus demand the house, the kids, and future payments in the form of alimony and child support.
