I wasn't asking for a summary, it was just unexpectedly long and interesting, so I wondered if it was off the cuff.

TBH I'm usually approached by women anyway (including good looking ones before the comments :-P). Maybe I'm crap at chasing women, maybe I'm lucky, but I don't subscribe to preconceptions about who should approach who.

Thanks for posting this, it surprised me when I read some of the original articles, but I never sought out a real debate about it. Real trafficking of women for sexual services is horrible, and needs proper attention, false information really hurts that cause.

I don't really trust anyone much. But if it comes to a situation where things could go against me for next to no reason which is what is often highlighted here then I'm naturally more careful. It annoys me that this is necessary. A lot of the stories posted are useful to counter the claims of 'but that never happens' and 'why should I care, it's fuss about nothing'.

It's worth reading in full. The article isn't attacking that or anything like that, it's not even a major point of the article. It's attacking the methods, motivations and sources of the research which are so fundamentally flawed as to be unusable for proper research. It's no so much a critique as a no holds barred evisceration of poor quality work.

My Mum's a teacher, it's the same ridiculous situation for men and women. Pupils have the power to cause chaos and some parents act like bizarre caricatures. The paperwork alone is so oppressive that it's a battle to organise anything interesting, and if you want to fund it then you have to seek grants from external bodies or rich parents. Then, when all that's done you get little recognition anyway.

If you don't like it then develop some offputting personal habits that could be down to medical reasons. Belch repeatedly due to gas problems, scratch a great deal due to a 'skin infection'. etc. Nothing that would pose a risk to your job, just be a bit icky.

Something I posted a while back might help you convince others who are less willing to change their mind. If you have a relationship where the woman does physically or otherwise abuse the man, and the society doesn't offer him any support, don't be surprised if he eventually lashes out. If society provides appropriate support and is willing to listen rather than mock then this situation can be avoided. So by supporting a change in the perception of violence F -> M to take it more seriously you p…

Defies belief doesn't it :( Juries are absolutely useless for the most part. The barristers play the story like a Daily Mail article, the jurors have no clue about how to apply the law, and the general composition is binmen and the unemployable. I'm sure there are silly things from my childhood which these monsters (the prosecution) would deem terrible too.

For many people, it's as much a lack of personal experience as anything else. If you don't know anyone within category X then your perceptions are based on stereotypes, media depictions and stories you've heard. There's also the 'not really a man' angle which is hard to argue against no matter what proponents say.

Did you know there is more than one definition for the word rape, and as such, more than one use? There is actually, and there's a discussion of this particular point over on twoxchromosones that takes it apart.

Sexism in Video Games?! Not So Fast. by twistedcaboose| Published: Tuesday, April 06 @ 17:26:54 EDT There's been a lot of talk 'round these parts lately about sexism in video games in the community.

I've mentioned it before, but it may interest people to learn a little more. Broadly speaking, there's finasteride and Dutasteride. They are both 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, but the latter affects both pathways. 5AR turns testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, which has a strong androgenic effect on hair folicles and the prostate. While it is essential during development, low levels of DHT in an adult man has little by the way of adverse side effects, although an initial drop in libido is comm…

That's what the arresting officer charged her with from what I've read (link given by trucekill). It might be that it'll be updated later. The assault weapon hasn't been recovered yet, and I've not seen yet whether it was a small (potato peeler) type knife or a larger blade which would be more consistent with intent.

Really? I downvoted it because of the ridiculous headline (I don't care whether the linked article was titled that or not). The OP is right, this subreddit seems frequently filled with malicious, hyperbolic headlines, taking the obscure opinions of irrelevant feminists and thrusting it forward like some kind of mass opinion.

Hard to tell just from that, but certainly could be. That page is very, very close to what happened to me (UK).

I really can't see this working. Many firms will simply have to take fines or find loopholes.

This provides a basic introduction. Obviously there are many design elements to be considered, from the use of bent pipes rather than sharper joints, wall thickness, surface coatings such as titanium nitride, PTFE, tungsten carbide or many others depending on what the pipes contain.

Same as I do the guys. If they're boring, my body language usually makes it obvious.

I think this shows that some of what we're doing is working. Write letters, make rational suggestions, and point out the worst. If you can make it easy for politicians to help and can interest them in your cause then it stands a chance at least.

I think it's low on evidence, high on outrage. Do you know of any alumni high up in public relations or who is a popular celebrity for some reason?

Have a read of a PDF of a response from BA to an earlier example which came up. It doesn't sound quite so hysterical there, and it's clearly in response to requests from passengers suffering from a fear of paedophiles. Now I wonder who/what might have inspired that fear?

Your last paragraph is actually pretty close to the way I feel. It might sound reactionary, but it's an opinion I've formed over roughly the last decade. I originally thought that it was just a vitriolic and rather laughable paper back when I read a copy (only paper available) where I was staying in 2001. When I had more opportunities to compare their tales to those in other papers (I favour the Independent these days) it became clear that they weren't reporting the news, but using the stories a…

Actually they do get sued a lot, lose plenty, but it's still in their interests financially to carry on doing what they're doing. If you want me to I can provide plenty of examples to back that up, but it'll take quite a while to do. This still appears to be the only source for this story, so it's almost certainly a half-truth at best.

I hold any hate site to the same standards. Posting something as a talking point to highlight hypocrisy etc. is fine though. The Daily Mail was a key player when it came to influencing the writing of many of the poor laws which are decried in this subreddit. They have plenty of misandrist writers (I've been a victim of one such article), but their general principal is simply to tell their readers what they think they want to hear, truth be damned.

I could agree with man up to the extent that it would be good for him psychologically to gain some physical strength, it would help him deal with the fear. If a woman was assaulted when walking home drunk alone it would be a good idea for her to smart up - i.e. stop getting into those situations.

A rather half-arsed effort there. When my college changed to admit women (in 1988, long before I was there) they paraded a coffin through college, wore black armbands and flew the flag at half mast.

Given F4J can organise protests rallies easily enough, why is it that we (/r/mensrights) don't organise similar rallies to show support? Correct me if I've missed them by the way.

This has more to do with the price of the vaccine surely? It looks like the manufacturer screwed up pretty badly on this - the cost to manufacture meds is very low indeed, so if they can sell twice as many for a little more then that's the path to take. It's also a lot better for PR, as this can really be held against them.

Illustrates nicely how lightly making accusations of rape is perceived by some women. Until cases like these are taken seriously and false accusers properly prosecuted things are not likely to improve.

It's truly sickening, both the reporting and how willingly people accept it without question. All the victims in the Hofstra case will never get that sort of publicity exonerating them, and plenty of people will still assume that they're guilty.

Reading through the comments most clearly didn't understand the point of the article, even though it was fairly unambiguous. He replied in the comments to highlight this: Whoaa…slow down there. Some comments here are suggesting that I’m condoning sexual relations with minors. Nothing of the sort. What I was saying is that I instinctively felt sympathy for this female teacher, where I wouldn’t have done so for a man. And I wondered why. I most assuredly was not suggesting that a child should be r…

Be sure to check the comments for extra WTF value! 'Should have got the sack and nothing more' 'This is the 'justice' I would expect in Tehran or Kabul!' 'The girl pursued her so she can hardly be accused of taking advantage.'

It's embarrassingly stupid to watch. It's as plausible as someone my size challenging someone like Dominic Filou to a wrestling match. If you're far smaller and weaker then you shouldn't attempt physical confrontation as you're only going to get hurt. Apparently this useful and well intentioned message isn't worth it though. Sadly this all translates into everyday life, where female initiated violence is all too often seen as nothing much to worry about.

Wow Vanessa's got a strong and one sided opinion. Can't have women leaving a marriage and only taking what's fair, not we have to protect the poor frail little things. Heaven forbid they should have to try to find work! At lease Baroness Deech is a voice of reason, more like her please!

I'm a fairly big guy, and I'm good at talking people down, but a few time I did have to restrain her (duvet usually) to limit the number of bruises. With the filleting knife, it's not the sort of thing you can defend against, you'd end up in hospital if you tried to block it, so I just said fuck it and ran. The reason for that? I was listening to a new album downstairs, she was working upstairs and decided she wanted to watch TV. Cue shouting that I'm hogging the room, that the speakers are ugly…

Sounds like you've met my ex-wife. Violence against men is treated as a joke, even if weapons are involved. That and the custody issue (doesn't affect me) are why I subscribe to this subreddit. I've had things thrown at me, been punched and threatened with razors and a 10" filleting knife. Fortunately that's all behind me now and I've let recent girlfriends know that I won't stand for anything like that (when it's been about a month, not first date!).

It sounds like utter rubbish even without the 'all men are evil and it's okay to kill them' subtext. I'm reminded of this Subnormality comic, surely it's the only logical reason for such tripe existing?

You'd have a lot less trouble on here if you pushed this example more than the one you do. Switching from 1 male, 1 female team to a 1st, 2nd coed squads would be fine, that is equality in action.

It must be very hard on her indeed. Stripped of not just a medal but her hopes, dreams and livelihood. The other side of the coin is that the sports governing authorities have to ensure fairness.

According to this offensive touching is a misdemeanour, but aggravated menacing is a 'violent felony'. But I'm in the UK, so I was hoping for a US perspective on whether these are actually serious or, as you eloquently put it, likely to result in a "Paris Hilton prison sentence".

It's quite a serious shortfall, that the article gives neither the exact question asked, nor any details of the type (married, engaged, single, in a relationship, old, young) of respondent. I know it could easily get too technical and lose coherence, but a little basic information could really assist in understanding whether there was a strong bias in the questioning which led to these conclusions.

From the comments here. Note that the first comment I took from the WTF subreddit, and it seems to have been deleted now, but I'll include it anyway. Now that the Oakland Press has found it neccesary to write a one sided story, I'll fill in the missing details.

It was just meant as an FYI for definingmanhood, not a comment on the validity of his argument. If I was to interpret it literally then I would read his comment as saying we need to experience what feminists are really saying to understand their position, that it is most important to understand the most influential ones, and that he believes they hold a position espousing female superiority.

IMHO a comment like that will only serve to confirm their opinion. Have a look at this diagram and consider where you fall. It would take a lot of reasoned debating to make them even consider moving their opinion, but then I doubt anything like that would make it past moderation, so what's the point?

If it's any consolation, when someone tells me that they're a feminist I don't make assumptions about where on the scale they lie, i.e. I don't assume 'militant feminazi'. Why? You might ask. Well if I want to have the right to state that I'm a supporter of men's rights, in civilised conversation, and not be ostracised or stereotyped because of it, as many are prone to do sadly, then I should start by treating others I would like to be treated myself. Also, those of us of a sensible disposition …

They have never failed to adequately answer that question... So they've always succeeded! (Double negative). If I was to try to answer that, perhaps just because it marks out part of a woman's body as unpleasant or offensive which is clearly silly. Same could be said of dick/cock etc.

I pity the guy who was killed. That was surely a spur of the moment reaction by her, with severe negative consequences that she likely didn't expect, but it's still indicative of a fairly sickening and 'don't blame me' mind. As for the husband, was he carrying a concealed weapon? If the victim had time to start his truck and begin to drive away that might suggest otherwise. It's a material point, if he ran away to get a gun that would indicate some premeditation. It's also worthy of note that he…

There was a homosexual English gentleman posted an IAmA recently (now deleted I think), who had been to court and found not guilty of stranger rape, where the victim identified him and honestly believed he was the one. Personally I don't see why anyone's identity should be revealed in such cases, as it only ever serves to do harm to those who are innocent. No good will come of it.

At least her employers were decent about it. It's clearly one sided reporting, whether due to a sexual bias, or because they feel that there's a need for reform and they know people will read this; but I certainly feel it wouldn't have made the news in this way had it been the other way round.

Agreed. I'm divorced too, but by not settling too easily, and making firm but justified demands in the legal papers I came off better financially than she did. I had good legal support, and made it clear to them that being walked over was not an option, and that I would prefer they get the money for going to court and losing, than giving up and losing anyway. The result was an out of court settlement in my favour.

If you have much in the way of funds, and if you're the main breadwinner, discreetly put some offshore in such a way that it can't be traced. This may require taking out cash several times, but could save you essentially giving it all away and more. Get some evidence of any wrongdoing / infidelity / bad parenting / unreasonable behaviour. Otherwise it's your word vs. hers. If you both contribute equally to the relationship, and it's breaking down because of a fundamental incompatibility, then ig…

My point was regarding the importance of diversity. Some ethnic minorities will respond more amicably to communication from an officer of the same ethnicity, some victims will be able to discuss a case more openly with a female officer. This is more important in the investigatory part of the job than the patrol part though, and the patrol part is likely to be more dangerous. Realistically I'd like to see the patrol role having much higher standards than those given in the link, and for the pay t…

There's a bit of PR problem with that though, whether right or wrong. Most women, with no prior training, could manage 1 or 2 pressups. Most men 10-20. If you ask both to manage 44, along with 5 chinups and 50 situps (those are the minimum standards IIRC), then you're going to have some groups saying that the standards are set very high (percentile basis) for women as a means of excluding them. It's a difficult one to defend against as well. The obvious argument is of course that the standards a…

At recruitment it is 10.5 for officers, 11 for regular troops. Most experienced guys will come in at 9 minutes or less though. Given that women aren't much behind men when it comes to running half a minute is quite generous, and the nature of the army means everyone sticks together, so IMO there's a strong argument to set the running part at the same level for men and women, even if the strength challenges differ.

When you're talking about the police though it's important to have a mix of male and female officers. All of those fitness requirements are atrocious though! Young men have to make it round in ~13 minutes. Even if I'm knackered and jogging I'll manage ~ 11 mins. As for the 15 minutes for women... that gives enough time to stop for a coffee halfway round. Still at least I now know that if I'm being pursued on foot in Iowa all I need to do to escape is to maintain a gentle jog :(.

Points 2 & 3 are the ones which I'd like to see really change and have potential to be seen. I'd also like to see (even one) a TV ad about domestic abuse towards men. It wouldn't be difficult to do, but if the message was simple that it occurs and it's not 'pansy' to object to it or report it then we would get a lot closer to equality. In a more idealistic world I'd like the general public to lose the idea that a woman's word is more trustworthy than a man's, particularly in court cases.
