In fact you almost have to go out of your way to choose the word "female" instead of saying woman or girl or whatever... so why do it? You might have to go out of your way to say such things, but in other places, it's common parlance and is not thought of before it's said, and both genders participate in its use. When it comes down to it, this non-issue really is about subjective offense-taking... so why do it?

reputation I used to play that game too. But then when I realized I have no reason curtail my speech to conform to the whims of other people and their feelings, I found that people respected me more. They might not like what I say all the time, but they take what I say more seriously when they realize I'm my own person, not beholden to conforming to bullshit hairsplitting and appeasing to their sensibilities, such as what you are doing (and what I used to do). Turns out that being a PC Bootlick …

Remember: when Feminists bitch about things, they take zero account of the feelings, actions or worries of men, save for how they affect women. This is why you can see this woman complain that women are oppressed by male-dominated AC levels, while being completely ignorant of (if not an outright endorsement of) the fact that men would be put out if the temperatures were brought to a warmer level. The welfare of men just simply doesn't cross their mind. It's a terribly narcissistic ideology.

We should stop censoring others and keeping quiet about our traumas, I feel like it makes it worse That's honestly what many are hoping for. The failure to accept past traumas as having no bearing on the caliber of a person does nothing but allow the person to continue to wallow in negative, possibly self-loathing emotion.

You're definitely not being cynical on that one. It's not as though people don't carry strollers with them onto flights and whatnot (much to the chagrin of other passengers). You can, however, call me a cynic when I suggest that something tells me she would be clinging to that infant to the point of hurting it if they attempted anything. After all, a crying baby makes for good drama.

Indeed, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who willingly takes shit from shit-slinging sources, and I can support him on that stance entirely. And definitely! Few things are ever quite that simple I've found, so learning everybody's stance on the issue better helps me to figure out exactly where the snag lies. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation, and am glad we wound up reaching an understanding.

Does that make it any more or less right? In no way does it do that. As I said before, I gravely condemn the ones who did, and to answer your current question: I would be mortified if such tactics were used against me as well. I cannot deny that the employer also had to make a tough decision themselves though. If they chose to keep him in the company despite what he said in his personal life, then the high-and-mighty moralists would surely descend on them in droves. If they fire him, they lose w…

That sounds like a very reasonable explanation. You're right in that my position is pretty ambiguous if I don't put quotations around the word offense, which is what I planned on doing, but felt it might make my post a bit too polemic on the surface. To put it briefly, I just didn't know that I was obligated to be partial to either side in this issue is all.

I'm more concerned that you have been vote-chastised personally. You've done nothing but further the conversation. Binary thought is a fucked-up thing, no matter who does it. If we focus the narrative into "goods" and "evils" and don't consider that the truth may lie somewhere in between, we might wind up backing people for the wrong reasons, or dismissing the things they've done because we find the narrative they present us more important. That kind of self-reflection, and reflection on the iss…

I couldn't agree more. It's a damned shame that simply voicing one's subjective opinion can get a person into hot water these days, but there it is. I guess the thing I can really learn from this situation is to always be mindful of what information you post online, and to never allow one's personal life to bleed into one's political life. The effects have proven to be somewhat detrimental to a person's wellbeing. I advocate highly for anonymity online with this in mind.

The "nature of his offenses"? Yes, as in the nature of the things he did that apparently offended an SJW so much that they went and contacted his employer. You're insinuating that I agree with them when in fact I do not. You're trying to use my language to twist my point around onto me, trying to suggest that not being with the mob means I'm against the mob. The point is that this person did something that ought not have gotten him fired, but in the end it did. However, I don't agree with most o…

It's more that the employer might have had valid reason to shit-can him, rather than any of my opinions on the matter. The sad truth is that companies are very mindful of what their employees say in what amounts to a public space. As much as I may hate it, it's the truth. But we can't paint the situation as though he's not at fault of any offense, as the employer did indeed fire him based on these remarks.

I agree, and the notion is primarily based upon quasi-chauvinist (i.e. prideful fervor towards a goal, not the more modern re-use to mean "toxic masculinity") sentiment.

Well, the polemic and rude members serve their purpose, but I agree. As a whole, we should be providing insight as opposed to condemnation. If that insight should take the form of denouncing something as harmful, then that is a reasonable goal. Though there are ways to do it that don't end with us looking childish. We should stick to facts and impassioned speech, as opposed to merely spinning rhetoric or planting base hatred in the hearts of others.

That study still pisses me off... of course, not its findings, mind you. It shows that abstinence coupled with sex education has a direct and demonstrable effect on STD infection rates in a community.

I suppose this commercial, to me, represents the kinds of fathers I was envious of other kids having, and of my desire to one day be that kind of father. The kind who's there when you need him.

As far as not letting women be priests go: I'm curious as to why nobody gets upset when Imams can only be male, or hell, even when services are gender-segregated. Yet we're all ready to get angry at the RCC for its shortcomings. Hell, I'm not even a Catholic, but I think their religious motivations behind these issues are reasonable, considering they only expect Catholics …

Teaching people not to rape is obviously easier than tailoring "don't get raped" prevention to everyone at all times.

Yes, and as I had to explain to TRPACC, people even like myself can be raped.

To be honest, I'd always felt like the whole concept of Privilege falls flat on its face when you bring it down onto the level of singular people.

I agree.

What bothers me is when great lengths are taken to understand the "trauma" that these women went through to go about molesting boys like that. It's not particularly hard to figure out though: They're pedophiles. There are very few adult women, I'm sure, who fantasize about sucking 13-year-old boy dick. Yet one of these ladies is being held accountable for allegedly sucking many 13-year-old boy's dicks. After a while, you'd imagine it would lose its novelty and its interest to these women. Unless…

To some post-modernists, an experience is just as "real" each time it is mentally reviewed as when it happened.

It's to imply that the onus of the problem is men.

They described [how somebody should be] sexually dominating and humiliating her, and punishing her with a "shaft". FTFY.

My dad, who was the only person I was living with at the time, was perfectly cool with the arrangement.

So, by that merit, if gay women are being left out of the beatings, torture, forced urine-drinking and eye-losing, with only gay men being on the receiving end of such attacks, then the issue of torture and kidnapping of gays in Russia would be by definition a Men's Rights issue, as well as a Gay Rights issue, and a Human Rights issue as well.

Read the article, at the end there is a link to Ani Difranco's web page where she states her reason for cancelling the event. I loved it. She backpedaled so hard, denied knowing where the venue was (despite, as you noted, she seemingly lived in the neighbourhood of this plantation), and then said something to the tune of "well you black women shouldn't be complaining because we're all on Native American soil, so nyah, you're just as oppressive as us." What a hilarious lack of self-awareness.

The women bitching about being tested? It's because they don't have the cred and they're trying to use the social backdoor of shaming skepticism and thought terminating cliche to force their acceptance. This, precisely. The nerdy groups I have hung out with are often very accepting of people, but are quickly aroused to suspicion or skepticism if they feel someone is talking about something they don't know much about. With this in mind, I'm friends with plenty of female nerds, some who know far m…

I appreciate the defense, but its not worth the drama and frustration. Fair enough. I can't say I'm arguing with him solely on your behalf though.

Right, so NAWALT should be added to all statements... or they should at least be qualified so that everyone understands you don't mean everyone. Anyone who takes it this way is clearly looking to be offended because they can't read between the lines. Never did anyone claim that "NAWALT" (Jesus Christ, talk about twisting a phrase!) was to be applied to every statement. However, the statement OP's taking issue with takes an obnoxious stance on an issue. You, and her (and anyone else who took it t…

If you took the lyrics and separated them from all tone of voice and body language between singers/performers, I can see how it would be construed by some as indicative of a person pressuring another into staying far longer than they ought (which somehow immediately implies imminent rape.) But the fact of the matter is, anybody with an understanding of human interaction can see that the lyrics present a back-and-forth that is very much mutual.

It's symbolically a mark of cowardice and shame, and was broadly enforced across a multitude of nations, to try and socially intimidate men into enlisting, which, during that particular war, was tantamount to a death sentence.

On the other hand, the fight need not be physical or even violent. Which is all that is necessary for us, at least. It's hard to foster universal compassion when you're hurting others, but there is absolutely nothing wrong in defending one's self or ideals, especially if all other means of de-escalation have failed, or would otherwise result in yourself getting hurt. The Shaolin Monks who practice Kung-Fu are Buddhists, after all.

It boils my blood that people will only secede from the "women aren't capable of abuse!" argument if the victim is also a woman. Like, how difficult can it be to mentally stretch that if abusive women will abuse other women, they'll also abuse men, too? Or that if there are women who abuse women, there are women who abuse men?

I do not understand why it is so hard for people to fathom that your brain, your seat of identity, is the most important part of what makes you you. Because some of us are Buddhists, and believe that there is no "you", that all indications of "you-ness" are illusory, and attempts to try and hold onto what makes you "you" will only lead to large amounts of suffering in the end. Simply because you can't keep permanent something that constantly changes. It's also why Buddhists tend to be quiet on t…

I'm imagining that it gives multiple choice questions as well, stuff like "Have you been assaulted by a member of more than one sex?", which would account for how that number adds up to include men victimized by both. Or something like that, I wouldn't mind seeing the source either.

"Wearing a white ribbon shows my pledge to take Sexual Assault seriously" is about as succinct a way I can think of saying it. It implies that committing or supporting sexual assault is terrible, but also infers that lying about them (i.e. not taking the offense seriously) is just as bad. But I do agree, awareness campaigns are the stupidest fucking things. edit: weird grammar are not good.

I personally see it as incredibly patronizing and awful. Let's say my girlfriend hated me going over to my one friend's place, because the one time she went over there, she was offended by my friend's off-colour language he used to refer to women. Now, if I were to go anywhere when he's present (but my girlfriend's not), it's reasonable for her to worry that he'll be saying those things once again, but now I no longer have her shining influence over me, to keep my man-brain from succumbing to su…

I felt astounded repeatedly by many men’s refusal to acknowledge their complicity with sin; as if their lives thus far had been devoted to the holy word, as if they didn’t benefit from the vices because they didn’t like the idea of indulging in them and as if perceived non-participation in secular institutions fulfills any and all religious obligations men could have. It's astounding, isn't it? It's like someone's playing Mad Libs: Let's Assert Moral Authority! Edition

Maybe they're the godly type? Just doing a good deed for a citizen in distress? Though it is indeed saddening that you both avoid most of his points, and think that men only think with their penises. There's plenty of men out there who help people out simply because they want to be a good person. Sad that you've forgotten that.

I agree with this sentiment. People tend to forget the importance of the "good cop" in these scenarios. But not everybody responds to the voice of even-keeled reason. Some people need a thought shaken into their heads by a loose cannon on the force.

But whose backs do the people who make history ride on, on the way to the spotlight? That would be the average person. Well-behaved, even-tempered, soft-spoken. The place holds no glory, but it is wholly necessary nonetheless. We can't all be famous, and we can't all be worthy of history. We just have to make what contributions we can.

Why are you looking for a greenlight to rape from twitter? (one of the twitter comments) God these people are dense. Setting a topic of discussion does NOT mean he wants to perform the actions described in said topic.

Although how often feminism gets mentioned here is pretty annoying. I'm definitely with you on that front. It makes no sense for movement B to be nothing more than a reaction to movement A, because that makes movement B's agenda completely and utterly dependent on movement A. In a lot of ways, it means A actually directs the actions of B, and B is forced to keep up. That said, it's not fair of us to scapegoat Feminism as being the direct cause of all of society's woes, as it makes us look intens…

Having listened to the definition of Atheism+, it sounds like they're just trying to become a political movement. Very sad.

Oh, it was originally OP talking about the origins of the image, and how it was part of a contest held several years ago. OP was feeling nostalgic, poster I was responding to seemed to take it as an offense again Feminism.

A good topic of discussion would be comparing different Equality Movements, and asking the attendees what they feel was the best method that other movements have used to achieve their goals, and how men could incorporate such methods into their own activism. Indeed, it would also be good to discuss the pitfalls of other movements as well, and getting a dialogue going on how to avoid them. Learn from those around you, I always say! I don't actually say that, but I should really start doing so...

“I love my husband.” She says. ” He has given me a comfortable and stable life. Because of his great job and his ability to provide me and my children with resources, I will never divorce him.” Well, it's good to see that she sees her husband as nothing more than a walking ATM. Because men never ever have to deal with objectification, only women do.

Or, even sew his wild oats with every woman he could find since ancestral male strategy favors quantity over quality. What saddens me is that if he were to start cheating, most likely he'd find a golf club through the windshield of his car, and all of his friends (possibly even his family) would vilify him, and generally it would fuck everything up for him.

Let's put her words into another context: "In Ancient Rome, if a man is found guilty of murder, he had his head crushed beneath a giant stone." "So what if a woman is found guilty of murder?" "Nothing happens of course :)" "Well that doesn't sound fair" "Neither is the ratio of men to women in terms of murder." I've always loved this kind of thinking. The thought that, because one group does something bad at a lower rate than another group, they should receive a lighter punishment. What also mak…

Read the top comment. This is a guy talking about the origins of the /r/mensrights logo. He's not bashing Feminism. The winning contest entry used the Feminist Logo to compare what the MRM logo would look like. In other words: you kinda jumped to a conclusion that nobody else was coming to.
