Americans love to complain about America because we want to make it better. Non-Americans love to complain about America because, despite its flaws, it's still number one in a lot of important aspects. If you get your worldview from reddit, you aren't getting an accurate depiction of life in America.

It's funny, but you're almost right. The TFM 'stories' are mostly bullshit and are certainly not classy, but they have pretty good coverage of news events involving Greek organizations. And, in this case, good coverage means they're generally classy and respectful of both sides of the issue.

No indeed, but you prefer to spend that money on cutting penises instead of teaching these guys to wash and give them soap. Circumcision was great for when humans didn't know what bacteria were. Instead of actually improving these people's prospect, you're putting them back thousands of years. Yeah, you really care abou them! No, I realize that proper sanitation requires a constant supply of goods, which is unrealistic for many areas in the region. Oh, right, all sex is rape. So I have another i…

Getting the African governments to expell the Catholic Missionaries would help here. Getting condoms out there isn't the problem. Getting the Catholics to stop telling the African's that they'll go to "hell" if they use them is. I totally agree with you here. I upvoted all your posts here. You do have a very good argument and you're getting yanked around by some emotionally driven responses. No one is being forced to do anything in Africa. The services are being provided free.

From link 1: Nobody here is against voluntary consensual adult circumcision. That is precisely the issue being argued here. The organizations in your first link all say that the possible benefits are not worth it FOR ROUTINE INFANT CIRCUMCISION. None say that it's a bad idea to fund circumcisions of adult men in undeveloped nations in Africa. And I've seen several of the studies in your second link discredited (most notably the Danish study on sexual function), and a lot of it is blogspam (i.e. …

Well, you managed to get to some truth. The only health benefits of circumcision is the same reason the practice was invented in the first place: when you don't have basic sanitation, yes, having folds of skin can house bacteria and viruses. So instead of proper sanitation, yes, cut a healthy piece of skin, it's so much easier! Yeah, that's why there's a point to circumcision in Africa. Are you going to give the residents of "buttfuck nowhere", Uganda proper sanitation? No. They don't have the i…

Like I've said, good luck getting funding and a distribution method for condoms, much less teaching every man to use it 100% of the time. Why not just use something that has been proven to lower HIV infection rates in literally every study done on it? I'm not saying you have to keep doing it after the problem is solved, but if you have the opportunity to cut infection rates in half, take it!
/r/MensRights18/05/12 01:10 AM

Yeah, but good luck getting funding to provide condoms to African men. And if you get that, good luck finding a consistent distribution method. And if you get that, good luck getting all of the men to use them 100% of the time. In this situation, providing circumcisions (to grown men who can opt out, by the way) is a pretty damn good step towards reducing the HIV infection rates.

Like zyk0s, I'm going to combine responses to both of your posts into one. There is also some evidence that it increases the already higher male-to-female transmission rate. Nope. From the CDC: When viral load was not controlled for, there was a nonsignificant trend toward a reduction in the male-to-female transmission rate from circumcised men compared with uncircumcised men. There is, at best, no reduction in the transmission rate. Either way, it doesn't increase the rate (as you said). If cir…

A lot of things are counter-intuitive but true. The fact that it's counter-intuitive doesn't mean you should disregard studies by reputable organizations. Female circumcision actually has great health benefits, it reduces the risk of her catching HIV. You know, I'd like to see a citation. A quick search didn't reveal any unbiased sources that support that claim. That's not to say it isn't true, but I'd appreciate a citation nonetheless.

Show me how it's fallacious and I'd be more inclined to believe you (as opposed to taking your word for it). Female circumcision is solely for "purity"; it has no health benefits and impedes the normal function of the body parts affected. By contrast, male circumcision does have health benefits. I would not circumcise any child of mine, but the issue here isn't that children are being forced to undergo circumcision; it's that money is going to circumcise adult men instead of pay for OB/GYN care …

That may be true for one study, but take it from the American Medical Association: Three randomized trials in Africa demonstrated that adult male circumcision decreases human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition in men by 51% to 60%,1 and the long-term follow-up of these study participants has shown that the protective efficacy of male circumcision increases with time from surgery. Emphasis mine.

No, it's not. A straw man is something similar to, but different than the position you're arguing against. In this situation, a straw man would've been to have the feminist in the comic say something like, "Another fun part about feminism is that we believe all men should be castrated". It is both similar to the "true" feminism (in that it advocates for women to play a more important role than they currently do), but it is not something that any feminist (let alone a mainstream feminist) actuall…

Yeah, I get that a lot of feminists want equality for everyone (and not some "some animals are more equal than others" situation), but I hope we can ultimately get past both the "feminist" and "MRA" labels because I think they encourage a pendulum effect, where the balance of power keeps shifting to favor one sex over the other.

You know, I tend to like /r/atheism because I live in an area where there's a lot of crazy religious crap going on. There are a lot of people who have it worse than me, and they tend to not care how polite they're being when criticizing religion; I think that's where the reputation of /r/atheism as assholes comes from.

Atheism isn't treated badly, but /r/atheism is. See this, this, this, and this for examples of backlash against r/atheism. Over 3000 karma from just 4 posts bashing /r/atheism. In fact, in any discussion of atheism outside of r/atheism, half of the commenters say something along the lines of, "Well, I'm (religious/agnostic/atheist), but I believe that /r/atheism is just a bunch of immature assholes." and get massive upvotes.

Maybe I'm just not that sensitive to it, or maybe I just come at the right times. I don't know, I also think that /r/atheism is treated too harshly by people in other subreddits, so I might just be weird. Generally, though, I think that sane comments get the most upvotes, borderline-misogynistic ones will be around equal, and truly misogynistic ones are downvoted.

Yeah, I don't completely blame them for assuming that an opinion expressed on here is always one shared by the group at large (though they would be wise to realize how forums like this work), and I agree that the community needs to step up and criticize people who are being truly misogynistic (which, to clarify, should not preclude anyone from questioning feminist thought).

They don't understand that this is a community. There are members who take things too far, members who support the rest of the group for the wrong reasons, and members who are only there to stir up trouble. I think they need to realize that not everybody will act appropriately in an open forum. R/MR has a lot of problems, but I think the lack of official censorship that leads to these problems is also one of the greatest assets.

I think the OP raises a valid point about communication: if your SO doesn't understand a fear you have (whether it's baseless or not), you need to have an honest conversation about it. It seems like the OP just didn't communicate her fears that well, so her boyfriend was treating it like no big deal. That said, the comments were WTF-inducing: one person posted sourced evidence showing that men are more likely to be victims of violent crime and women are to be raped, and (s)he was downvoted.

Your post reeks of feminism for other reasons. Do tell me more. repeatedly? Or twice. IIRC, the article said twice after she already refused. men and women meet at work all the time. Yes, and it is inappropriate for a boss (whether male or female) to ask out a subordinate (male or female), just like it's inappropriate for a teacher to come on to a student: when you have power over someone, they can reasonably assume that you will punish them if you refuse to go out with them.

Some of these are valid points, others are ridiculous. Case in point: If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it's male indifference. Come on. If you go up to a woman who you're already a friend or acquaintance of (meaning you've talked to her about other things before) and say, "Hey, you look nice today!", she isn't going to report you to HR.

Dictionaries aren't omniscient arbiters of truth in language. Often, they seek to reflect the common usage of words, not their precise definitions. For example, most dictionary definitions would consider this a clip, when it is in fact a magazine (a clip merely holds ammunition together and is only rarely inserted into the actual weapon, in cases like the en bloc clip of an M1 Garand). It's the same thing with the etymology of "agnostic". It came from Greek, and literally means "without knowledg…

So let me get this straight: you'd rather be sexually assaulted than undergo a common medical procedure that leaves you less likely to transmit certain STDs, can prevent a medical condition, and that many (if not most) studies show has either a positive effect or no effect on sexual pleasure?

Whether you're a man or woman, lacking confidence means you are: Less likely to be in situations where sex/romance is an option. Less able to respond to advances by more confident persons you are attracted to. If Brad Pitt was a shy motherfucker, he would probably still have straight women and/or gay men come on to him.

And why would you refuse to have sex with a post-op transwoman? That's my point: I don't need to have a reason. I find it unattractive. So yeah--you're not looking for some sort of dangerous sexual behavior that might incur lots of STDs or bad life choices Your point would be a good one if transsexualism didn't place individuals at a higher risk for HIV. you're simply prejudging based on your own preconceived bias against transpeople I don't find fat women attractive, so do I have an offensive b…

I thought you said you wouldn't have sex with someone who ever had sex for money. I did, I just used a poor choice of words: I would expect someone who had been a prostitute to tell me before we had the chance to have sex, because that would give me a chance to refuse to have sex. And are you conflating being trans with prostitution? They're both sexual choices that would make me not want to have sex with someone. I would venture to say that you don't want to have sex with everyone, and that you…

Well, how would you know? It would probably come out eventually, like when I noticed that she wasn't having her time of the month or during sex, when she isn't getting wet. And if you don't know if someone is a transperson, and you DO unwittingly want to have sex with one, what would that do to your obviously cherished belief? I'd be just as upset as I would be if any other person lied to me for sex for any other reason. I wouldn't have sex with someone who had ever had sex for money, and I woul…

No, it's relevant because I don't want to have sex with a transperson. I don't need to justify my reasons for not wanting to do so any more than someone should have to justify their reasons for not having sex with someone with a foot fetish.

I just dislike the notion that being trans is a plague, and that it's our responsibility to wear a little yellow star on our shirts to let everyone we come in contact know that we're trans. Even though I wouldn't have sex with a transsexual (or, having never been in that position, I don't think I would), I don't think it's a plague. It's misleading to say "everyone we come in contact", though; we're only saying you should be open with it to prospective sexual partners. I don't hear posts every d…

If it matters to you, and it would affect your decision, then it's your duty to ask. Just like everything else. Should I have to ask if every girl I sleep with has STDs? Should I have to ask every girl if they like to pee on me during sex? Both of those things would influence my decision just as much as the information that my prospective partner is a transsexual, but nobody thinks it's my responsibility to ask those questions.

It's one thing to omit something irrelevant (like the fact that you got married in Vegas 5 years ago but got it annulled the next day). It's completely different to omit something relevant (like the fact that you're a transsexual, have an STD, like to piss on people during sex, or are someone different than who you said you were).

That's completely true, but those aren't the only things a lot of them waste their time on; that whole think about how women get paid less than men is usually not true anymore (at least in most places and for most jobs). Also, the way domestic violence is treated shows how almost all feminists care more about advancing women than about true equality. Most DV incidents are mutual (both partners responsible), and when it isn't, men and women are about equally likely to have thrown the first punch.…

I think the standard definition of feminism and feminism in practice are two different things.

Assuming Assange did what he was accused of, it was clearly what anyone, whether a feminist or MRA, would define as rape: the woman gave a conditional consent (that is, she consented to sex as long as he wore a condom). He did not fulfill the condition, so there was no consent. MRAs would be (rightfully) pissed off if a man gave consent under the condition that the woman was using birth control, and the woman still had sex knowing she hadn't taken the pill. I don't see how that's any different.

But suits and other masculine clothing are widespread and commonplace for women. But they're still designed for a woman's body (e.g. more room up top). If someone designed a dress specifically for mens' bodies, I wouldn't really give a shit if someone wore it, but other than kilts (or taking a shit-ton of hormones and going under the knife), there's nobody that makes dresses that look good on men. And if a woman wore a suit that was tailored for a man, she'd look ridiculous. It's not even a styl…

How are dresses specifically designed for women and suits specfically designed for men? We all have two arms and legs (well, many of us). It's more of what is culturally "appropriate" to you, methinks. Here's 2 big reasons dresses are designed for women. Women in general are more curvy than men.

This is fucking stupid. Dresses aren't designed for men, just like a suit isn't designed for women. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule (kilts and pantsuits), but they prove the rule.

It is rape, but it is not legally recognized as rape. Just like a woman's terms of consent may include condom usage, a man's terms of consent may include birth control pill usage. The reason men don't complain about it is the stigma against "deadbeat dads". Right now, society believes that if you are a biological parent, you must either be present for the child or give it up to an adoptive family. There is also a secondary reason; people don't believe men can be raped since men are usually eager…

She consented on the condition that he use a condom. Once the condom was no longer being used, it is implied that the consent was withdrawn.
