If they ever do get their "impunity" stripped away, they still won't realize it's the same for other men and will attribute it to them being trans.

Feminists don't agree that DV is bad no matter who the victim is. The Duluth Model, primary aggressor policies enshrined in the VAWA, and feminist statistics on DV are full of special pleading on how it's really the man's fault or how it's much worse when it happens to women.

Always be recording for anything important. Heck, I keep a notepad in my car and on my desk. If I have a phone call that isn't to friends or family, I'm at least making notes.

"You always seem so calm." "I'm really impressed with how you handled that [dangerous situation]." "I'm glad I can count on you when everyone else is losing it." It's not a bad thing as long as people realize that you are stowing your emotions for the moment and still have them to unpack later. If people forget you still have them or assume they just don't matter, it's a problem.

That's pretty indistinguishable from the classic "protection" racket, although instead of using direct violence from gang members you use unaffiliated members of the public as a proxy. Actually, it's even worse. At least with a gang they have some measure of control on their members. Once you whip the public into some crowd/mob violence it's out of your hands.

Careful, that sort of logic leads right into calling organized feminism agents of the patriarchy. "Patriarchy" means anything, everything, and nothing to feminist arguments. It doesn't matter who benefits, who thought it up, or who put it into action, if it's against whatever the feminist ideal in question is, it's patriarchy.

From what I've gathered, the OP is a feminist who is uncomfortable with any MR topics that may collide with their ideologies, so they are promoting a topic that doesn't threaten feminism and are doing so in a non-threatening way. I upvoted the main post, since pretty much anything making men have better lives/live longer is a good thing, but I have downvoted most of their posts for not positively contributing.

The whole purpose of this "training" isn't to liberate men to make our lives better, it's to add another chorus to the cries for men to keep our burden of protecting women. It's not "liberation" when you stack more responsibility on someone without reward.

As long as it's voluntary and mutually beneficial, I see nothing wrong with a relationship splitting up things in a complementary manner, even if it looks "traditional". It's when it's a one-sided buffet that it becomes a problem. For a petty example: I'm not doing all the outside work, killing all the bugs, and other "men's jobs" and then sharing half and half traditional "women's jobs" like cooking and cleaning.

It's not about asking permission, it's about being effective, and getting in a semantic squabble right out the gate takes up time from more productive topics and wastes the participants' goodwill. If someone came here to discuss a topic, and right off the bat was talking about how men's rights advocates are all about protecting male privilege, they wouldn't hold anyone's attention to the actual meat of their argument, whatever that was.

That's not the definition that feminists would use to describe their beliefs, so using it as the basis for a discussion would come across to them like you are misrepresenting them. Even if it's accurate (I think it is mostly accurate), it wouldn't be an effective course to take with feminists, even the ones open to discussion or changing their mind.

This reinforces the traditional role of men as enforcers ("...help men act as informed and prepared bystanders, ready to intervene...").

I used to think the "women = feminism" connection was simply a dishonest argument/tactic, but now I realize it's an identity issue. When people have their identity tied up in labels, disagreeing with their labels/ideologies becomes a personal attack.

That's the very definition of institutionalized privilege.

This provides future incentives for barbers to just give bad haircuts purposefully. If you can't refuse customers in a professional manner without it becoming a huge ordeal, the only other way to refuse them would be in an unprofessional manner.

He was one of the advocates that brought it into favor, although he wasn't as big on the infant version. This cite provided support for the assertion that part of the reason for it being used in the US was to reduce sexual pleasure, which was what you asked for.

If they have served their time already, no. If they haven't served their time yet, they are about to go to jail so it's a moot point. If they have served their sentence out, no. No, public utilities get special powers from the government and can't discriminate since they have protection from competition. No, there aren't provisions for the accused to opt out of paying taxes for it, so not guilty is not guilty, although I wouldn't fault them for keeping a closer eye on them.

The employer-employee relationship is much different than a private business-customer relationship and they are both different than a public institution-customer relationship.

It's not that everyone would do something like that, it's that if they were inclined to they could. The problem with powerful tools to help people is that there needs to be equally powerful checks on those tools. You can't hand half the population a weapon backed by the power of the state, make proper use checked almost exclusively by the honor's system, and then expect no one to get hurt.

The latest "answer" to bringing up the TYD is that the legislature that enacted it was all male, therefore it isn't feminists' fault. First, I though men could be feminists, but apparently not. Second, feminists advocacy is completely ineffectual unless men do something about it and even then feminists have no responsibility or accountability for the consequences of their proposals. Third, if men do it, it's the patriarchy, therefore patriarchy gave women suffrage.

The only rapes I see cheered on by society as a whole are prison rapes. The only rapes I see pushed under the rug are rapes of men, mostly by definitions that exclude it from even happening.

The only thing productive about the statistic promoted in the link is that you know the truth is likely between them and that the feminist's idea of rape being endemic is wrong.

I have seen the 1 in 4 statistic promoted on Facebook by a friend who is a feminist and she picked it up from her women's studies classes, so it isn't just a strawman.

You would think that thought might cross their minds when the idea of the inequality in child custody is tied to the idea that women are better caregivers, which they tie to patriarchy keeping women at home, when it's at least partially the fault of early feminist activists.

I understand (but disagree) with the argument that when men experience something sexist or discriminatory that it doesn't harm them as much due to patriarchy/privilege/etc., but lately it comes across more and more as window dressing for an idea that men don't get hurt as much because of a reduced capacity to suffer, like we are lesser beings.

What's really telling out of that is that men who make it to the top tend to help their friends some (although part of that is due to reciprocal favors to climb up in business) and they really help their children and wives.

The plea bargain system (with very high possible penalties) takes a whole lot out of the faith I put in the justice system in the US.
