I don't necessarily agree with the policy but its clear its about limiting taxpayer exposure. In countries that fairly generous income based child benefits (good--children are expensive and also our most valuable resource, not as a feel good saying but by the numbers of the economic activity they will generate over their lives) the government would be on the hook if dad leaves and mum needs help. Thats what we did in the 50s. Mum has a full time job taking care if the kids! We'll pay her to stay…

They're economic left, for the most part. I dont recognize a particular lean on their social issues coverage. But I'm coming from a center-left position to start so I might miss it. Also, left or right, and observed phenomenon is an observed phenomenon. Even if you are a self-described feminist if you are, say, a second wave feminist then more adversarial first wave feminism probably hurts your aims and goals.

??? What are you talking about? Ukraine is a defensive war. I assure you they would be doing better if they had F-35s vs old Soviet Sukois and a few early 2000s F-16s. Especially as Russia's current tactics is to run a VAP of interceptor with BVR air to air missiles to engage any Ukrainian plane from beyond its own range to respond. "Long range missles" destroy ammo dumps that supply the invading army. Or target ships that launch their own missiles against civilian and military infrastructure. E…

You really do. And thats factually wrong. A BUNCH of countries have never launched an offensive war. Even more have not launched one in the current incarnation of their state. And if you cannot defend yourself the world has proven there are bad actors that will work against you.

On its face, this doesn't make sense. We don't live in a planned economy or a slave state. Nobody is "forced" to take a more dangerous job. They apply for these jobs based on market forces. Women are paid less because they self select lower paying careers (most people in this sub of all places should agree with that premise). Usually because they are safer/less physically demanding. Men choose on large to accept a greater degree of risk and physical discomfort for higher pay.

🤷‍♂️ Agree to disagree, I guess. I think any policy that would make our Frontline soldiers less safe for no tangible gain is wrong headed on its face. I'll support changes to family law, divorce law, settlement and paternity law. Ill support equitable funding of male-focused services like suicide prevention. All for changes in standards around how we talk about sex and gender that put men in no win scenarios. But when not only lives but the state's ability to spend those lives successfully for t…

I mean, for one I fundementaly disagree with the statement that someone that cannot defend their rights on a battlefield does not deserve them. Children come to mind. And the disabled. And as for "nothing in return"...thats how civic duty works. And its an entirely separate question than the ine we are having. Ask not what your country, etc... I support an end to bullshit policies that favor women at the expense of men for no reason. Or reasons not based in reality. But there are some things men…

Draft in general? Sure. Combat roles? No! Im not completely against volunteer female combatants. But driftees that dont want to be there are not going to perform as highly. And women are already physically predisposed to perform less well in highly physically demanding jobs like Frontline combat. That puts the country's war aims and fellow soldiers at risk. And in a western military that has a very long tooth to tail ratio, they are probably more useful as a maintainer or clerk anyway.

Okay. 🤷‍♂️ Agree to disagree? I believe in a robust and thus expensive government and that takes a lot of money. Taxes on income and capital are the fairest (by felt effect, not real dollar value) way to get that money. But yeah, I should have realized you meant Selective Service. That one's on me. Personally I find the civic duty argument pretty persuasive on the merits re drafted as slavery argument but thats divisive and I can see both sides.

This comment is...a lot. I think you make a very good point that it COULD be a way to obscure the selective service requirement. I kinda think its the citizenry's responsibility to know basic facts regarding their requirements to the nation but...I can also acknowledge you're probably correct that many will not. The rest...I'm not sure what you're trying to say about income taxes but its very essential to running any reasonably well funded and egalitarian government (along with tax on capital). …

Hate Trump if you want. But this is objectively no different than the previous selective service law. Its just supposed to make it more convenient. You were already required to register and they already knew if you didn't and could prosecute you in the same way the IRS knows you didn't pay your taxes. Hate on selective service but this makes it slightly LESS shitty, not more.

Isn't this...a good thing? You already had to register. The requirement is not changing. Its just taking the burden off the individual. Who, to be clear, would be breaking the law to not register and its not like they don't know you exist/have not registered. I'm all for dunking on these idiots but this seems like an administrative change that is largely neutral. You can be mad at selective service. But thats been around since WWI. All that has changed here is there are less opportunities for pe…

Honestly, the idea that 2 consenting adults should have to wait at all is way creepier to me than the idea of the age difference. We have assigned 18 as the age you can make your own decisions. You can join the fucking army. Let her get laid. Well...if that's the case then I have pretty serious moral objections to having to tiptoe around a nuisance law specifically designed to catch people put to open up the possibility of prosecution.

There are reasonable ways to protect assets. And if you're really that worried...sign a prenup. Thats an awkward fucking conversation but it seems better than the alternative. As for the rest...I just fundamentally disagree with your view of marriage. You certainly DON'T have to get married. But its about more than sex, companionship and help paying bills. Ideally, the goal is to have a person who you can count on beyond the bounds of normal friendship. Its starting a family unit that values you…

Sure. But that's true of literally anything. As long as you're not hurting anybody else I'm not here to yuck your yum. But also, my experience is that most people do want romantic companionship in their lives and I read the OP's post as saying he's avoiding it because of fear that women are going to take advantage of him. I could be wrong about that being the dynamic. But if that is it, i don't think it's a good idea to encourage someone that would otherwise enjoy companionship to not have it. I…

I'm kinda on your dad's side here. You can't live your life in fear of every negative outcome. If you're stressed about it, put the house in a trust. If/when you get to the point you're talking about finances you make clear the house was gifted to you and put in a trust. There's no reason for them to be mad about that. Are some women gold diggers? Sure. But not all. And even if it were a majority the alternative can't be just not getting into a relationship forever. Take reasonable steps to prot…

There's room for some nuance here. People really do try to say people who were fucking blasted and unable to stand were consenting. But in principle I agree. God knows I have slept with people while we were both drunk and wouldn't want to be accused of rape for what I saw as a consensual encounter.

I don't know that I would go QUITE that hard. I think some feminists are themselves hateful. But I don't think the concept of feminism is hateful in itself. We all know people who identify as feminists who are good people. I would say that feminism should be viewed as an advocacy movement for women that does not give a fuck about equality or benefit of other groups. They are pro-woman. Period. Thats not quite the same thing as being anti-men, though certainly some individuals are. The problem to…

I can't speak for the Movember organization, or local tax and charitable giving laws. But there ARE good reasons to sit on cash. For one, especially when we are talking large sums, interest can be a real driver. By sitting on 100 million euros we could help many more people in 5 years than we could today. That's not always the right call. But its also not unreasonable. For another, spending money efficiently can be hard. If I have 100 million to spend...well, I am sure plenty of organizations wo…

This line actually makes sense in the context of the article. We can debate whether the article is really engaging with a point that is worth talking about. But the article is clearly referring to women's limited pool of eligible men. For men not on the front, this is not a problem for them as they are actually facing less competition. This article simply is not engaging positively or negatively on Frontline soldiers as it is assuming they are busy trying not to die.

Wanting fewer Palastinian children to die is a laudable goal. Any proposal to actualize that objective that doesn't take into account Israel's legitimate security objectives, though, is untenable. And, not for nothing, but Jewish kids also deserve to go to school secure in the knowledge that they ir their parents aren't gonna get murdered by militants. We can say that FEWER Israeli kids have been killed (completely true), but it's unreasonable to as the Israeli state to care more about Palastini…

Okay. Who? The PLO? The Palastinian Authority? Islamic jihad? These are all deeply flawed organizations. Hamas has the most popular support of the lot so far. All have committed or supported terrorism as a stated goal for policy change. PA is probably your best best for a legit government...except nobody trusts them, they're deeply corrupt and steal from their own people.

The IDF is a flawed military, as all armies relying on conscripts for theater operations are. But comparing them to Hamas militants is ridiculous. One is a badly behaved, unprofessional army, credibly charged with lack of situational discipline and some limited credible reports of war crime activities by individual members. The other is a literal terror group that burn people alive, used widespread rape as a form of humiliation before execution, throw people off buildings, etc. They nothing alik…

It wasn't their territory. It was promised by the Allies to both the jews and the Arabs in exchange for fighting the Ottomans. The Jews got 25%. The Arabs got 75%. The Arabs immediately went to war to conquer the other 25% that was given to the jews (who expelled the Arabs just as the Arabs expelled the jews). And...they lost. The Arab militants--now developing a new Palastinian identity--launched terrorist attacks in Egypt and Jordan, evebtually turning those nations into Israeli allies because…

I understand that asking others to care about your best interest in opposition to their own is a losing argument. Some feminists are man haters. Some are not. Both will advocate for the betterment of womens' position on almost all fronts because that is what's best for them and you fight with the allies you've got. My argument would simply be to frame them as exactly that--rational actors advocating for their own best interest. Not a morally unassailable group that only wants "equality" when tha…

My only problem with that is that men advocating the same is considered inherently sexist. Advocating for yourself is not wrong. Women don't owe men. The problem is a society that says women can engage in that advocacy and men cannot. To be fair, the bad old days of extreme sexism have left lasting scars on the western psyche re womens rights. But healing those can't be an overcorrection in the other direction.

Eh. I've come to accept that feminism is an interest group like any other. They advocate for the betterment of women. Period. And...that's fine. Just like groups arguing for the betterment of immigrants are fine. Black beople. The poor. Homeless. Business owners. Farmers. Unions. Etc. They should not be held to a standard that they have to moderate their views through what's best for other non constituent groups.

I have done a lot of evolving on this subject as I learn more and more. Started out thinking that the gender pay gap was a horrible travesty for women. Then saw the same statistics we all did and flipped to "the pay gap is a myth!" I've kinda settled on...it's a thing and it's bad but people talk about it the wrong way.

That's not strictly speaking true. The fact that this is not true of all women means that Google has an algorithm that is likely pulling this Datta and arranging it based on search result data. No person is deciding who she married is more important than her height. The system is guessing that based on data it's trauled.

Honest question--do you think number 1 is not true? Especially in teenagers? That's not letting anyone breaking the law off the hook but that seems fairly accurate just based on the biology. Hormone levels and sex drive are pretty different between men and women on average.
/r/MensRights13/09/22 06:01 PM

Based on what? Like, instinctively I believe that men are going to underreport but also instinctively think less would self identify it as abuse or even negative in all cases. Is there evidence that this is more common that we think you can point me towards? Because all the official numbers I have seen show female victims are much more likely and the undereporting of male victims is kind of an anecdotal uncertainty in the data as we can't measure it.
/r/MensRights13/09/22 05:59 PM

A few reasons. Not all of which I necessarily agree with but I think are definitely present in the society and psychology. First, force. Men are, generally, stronger than women. Even adult women could rarely overpower even a younger teen boy. If men didn't "want it", so the thinking goes, men would not allow it to happen. This is why we see harsher responses to men raping other men or women raping very underage (say 12 or below) or disabled men--the male victim is no longer considered to have th…

I'm sure some are. But men are also on average more sexual. Like, hormonaly. So the same behavior is more likely to be recieved well by a man than a woman. We're different.

This is the correct answer. But I would take issue with the idea that an 18 year old cybering a 16 year old classifies them as a predator or pedo. He might be an asshole. And if he slept with her that's up to statutory rape laws in the locality. But...pedo seems harsh with that age gap. I was DATING a 16 year old when I was 18. Senior/sophomore. Nobody considered it weird.

I lived in the UK for years and am a biritsh citizen. Haved lived in the US for a while but am very familiar with the BBCs programming. And I don't know what that means.

BBC is covering war all over the world, just not with a focus on gender.

I understand the point your making. My point was that I think the frame is misguided. At least right now. I support and am encouraged by more discussion of issues that affect men specifically. But this is also a big deal that deserves the oxygen and attention it's getting. And something that will affect many men just as much as it affects women. Right now?

Look...I get the tribalism but more unplanned and unwanted pregnancies hurt men as much as women. If you're pro life then I respectfully disagree with your stance. But if your pro-choice? This is an issue that men and women should be together on. We can have substantive debates about real inequalities between the genders that cut both ways. But this issue isn't one of them.
