How self-centered are you?? There can be more than one person who matters

I don't know where you get that, but that's not true. I know of senior couples with adult children still very much in love. My hisband and I are still a very involved romantic couple four years after we became parents. And the point of another parent is not to support you, it's for both to support the children. Including when the other parent is dysfunctional or dangerous. That's one of the many problem I've witnessed with single parents by choice : making it about themselves, with no one to cal…

That's actually not true. Even after controling for other variables, first among them poverty, the various indicators of success and well being in children of single mothers are still significantly lower. As a parent myself, I think that's quite evident. Two parents can support each other, give each other breaks, watch for dysfunction in each other, step up when needed. Even then raising kids is not easy. Extended families were more adapted to the reality of children. Single parenthood by choice…

The "gladiator fallacy" is an i teresting concept, I'd like to see research into it. The "courtesan fallacy" seems like absolutely standard radfem "objectification" narrative. Otherwise known as oppression olympics bullshit. Wearing pretty dresses and jewelry and getting attention for your looks is not oppression. Having the option of living off of this is an advantage compared to not having the option. (Outside or slavery and human trafficking, which are not specific to women, obviously.)

It's the Guardian. The fact they used "boys" and not "children" is already extraordinary, but they at no point hint at any conscience that it would have not happened the same way had it been working class girls. Of course class is the main factor here. This doesn't happen to rich boys. But it doesn't happen with such impunity to poor girls either.

Agree with almost all of this, but not a fan of the term "sealioning". It's a term originated from feminist Reddit, based on a cartoon where a person is outwardly racist towards sea lions. The sea lion attempting to address the odious behaviour with civility is framed as the actual problem. It's an ode to feminist unaccountability. "If you're offended by kill all men, it's proof you are the problem" kind of logic. Malevolent characterisations of entire groups on the public place deserve scrutiny…

It's easy to ignore reality when you're talking in theory. The thing is, this is not theory, and UN Women is immensely influencial. The UN has commited gendered atrocities in the past. It evacuated women and girls, not men and boys from Srebrenica, and they all were massacred. They provided food aid to women only in Haiti in 2010, and that led to countless misery and violence still going on today. We know from the past what "centering women and girls means" it means letting men and boys die. Tha…

The current obsession of feminism with masculinism and the manosphere is giving massive publicity to an until now almot non-existent movement. They're Barbara-Streisanding us to prominence. Of course they're trying, and largely succeeding, to get the movement to be treated as terrorist without any basis to do so (which shows the insane institutional power of feminism), so maybe repression will win. It often does. I however believe in the disobedience of teenagers. In the long run, they might hel…

UN women is one of the most hateful organisations on the planet. Very few people know that or even made the connection, but they're basically responsible for the downfall of Haiti. When the 2010 earthquake ravaged the island, the UN attempted a distribution methode pushed for by the women's rights "experts". Distribute food only to women, enforced with weapons, because women share and men don't, and men intimidate and rob women at distribution sites (actual explanation provided). This lead to a …

Thanks! Fascinating response. I'm sure quality research on the subject would go a long way to differenciate biology from socialization in these phenomena, and probably end up proving what you argue and I believe: that social conditioning, both conservative and feminist, are amplifying women's trauma, minor and major, and greatly amplifying len's major traumas.

Agreed. That being said, when comes time to design criminal laws and set the thresholds for misdemeanor, felonies and crimes a common baseline of severity has to be established. Or we could go by individual consequences, but that's hardly manageable. More histrionic victims would bring harsher sentences rather than those who suffer more.

The fag-hag/gbf dynamic is deeply unequal. Usually the gbf is finding a friend where he would otherwise have none, and turns into a surrogate boyfriend, providing validation, affection, hip image and a security service while getting very little of that in return. Then when a long term boyfriend or some other more important endeavour comes, he's lost his purpose and is quickly dismissed. Ask a bunch of thirty-something gays.

Absolutely. Actual rape is ignored for men while minor inconveniences are blown out of proportion for women. I recently discovered "sexist violence" encompasses tasteless jokes and uncomfortable stares. It's insane. There's an argument often used by both conservatives and radfems that men just don't get as easily traumatized. I wonder if there's some truth to it. I'm sure not to the extent of the disparity of treatment, but to some extent? On the other hand, if it is real, it might be entirely c…

That's it. Putting everything in the same bucket for ideological purposes is making us unable to manage situations adequately, socially conditioning people to be traumatized by events that don't have to be traumatizing, while also ignoring actual traumas because they don't fit the narrative. That being said, is there a gendered difference? Do women get more easily traumatized by the same acts, as is often argued?

I'm of two minds on this. On the one hand, rape absolutely does happen to men, has severe mental repercussions, and is scandalously ignored. On the other hand we need to stop inflating the notion of "assault" and over-evaluating the consequences of minor acts. Having someone put their hand on your thigh or ass, or steal a kiss or any other such fleeting moments is traumatic only if society convinces you it is. It happened to me multiple times when I was younger, from much older people. I'm good.…

Thank you! I just went down a fascinating rabbit hole. He didn't see women as property, much less collective property, though.

If we must talk about gay men being thrown out when not useful, we need to talk about the LGBT movement. We are the largest battalion, we did most of the fighting, but now it's all about intersectional feminism and hierachies of oppression.

I don't think this is true. As many have pointed out, both men and women can be into hookups or not, depending on the individual and the period in their lives. "Demisexual" is just people trying to surf on the trendiness of the LGBT+ movement. They label their vanilla, nothing special sexuality as somehow an oppressed identity because they want to be special and talk about themselves. It's narcissism, nothing more.

Those two assumptions are quite uncertain. Poverty is not bound to disappear. I wish it were, but the trajectory is clearly not there. Rich societies have prostitution too, including in large scales. The Netherlands are a destination for sexual tourism, for example.

Intersectionality is reductive. It reduces individuals and their experience to a set of arbitrarily predefined identities, with an "oppression value". Its policy proposals are therefore always aimed at identities, not situations. Priority employment for the lesbian black millionaire over the homeless straight white man. It reduces complex social mechanisms to a single-scale "oppression value" that is not even defined beyond broad, emotional language. This looks like the product of a self-centere…

I've at one point in my career cooperated with an association of sex workers. They want legalization and regulation. They don't want to be treated as victims by default, but be protected from the risks of their job, like anybody else. They want to do their job, be able to choose to do it or not, have options to get out if they so desire, get support (especially medical) when doing it, and choose the conditions in which they are doing it. It means they should be able to get help without judgement…

You mean, by discussing Rosa Luxembourg and other thought leaders? I'm not sure. It can be a gateway to discussing wider ideological questions as a framework regarding men's issues I suppose.

The socialist framework offers a different way of understanding gendered dynamics and power relations, away from "men as oppressors, women as oppressed" that has become hegemonic and is (wrongly) presented as "marxist". Bear with me we'll get there. Socialism is a political ideology (or a family of ideologies) based on the marxist worldview, intending to put an end to inequality (or minimize it) Marxism is an analytical framework that tells us the force that powers history is material reality ("…

Rosa Luxemburg upon being invited to talk to a women's liberation conference : "Just imagine, I have become a feminist!

Rosa Luxembourg was not a feminist, she was an outspoken antifeminist. She was a socialist organizer a'd a marxist theorist, with some action in regard to women's groups, among many and more important other things. Feminists try to claim the fight for gender equality as synonymous with feminism. It's not. Feminism is a movement, made up of people, organizations and tendencies deeply rooted in bourgeoisie.

Yep. Same behaviour, different perception depending on the gender of the person doing it. I believe it's the core of most debates about gender. We exaggerate the differences by evaluating male actions as more consequential than identical female actions, good or bad.

It's a little insane to act like it's a male thing to choose their partner's clothes or interfere in their social life.

Feminism, as its name implies, is a movement that sees gender equality as about women, synonymous to women's rights. Equality for some people only is not equality at all. Therefore I see feminists as intruders in the left. Unwitting agents of the CIA on a mission to destroy solidarity between the working class by sowing division through hate. You cannot actually be a leftist and be a feminist. A leftist is a marxist, and marxism-feminism is a misnomer. An actual marxist believes we're all in thi…

This is marginally better than the benevolent sexism inventory, but that's not saying much. The benevolent sexism inventory is bullshit like I've rarely seen it.

Women are naturally more fearful on average, I'm pretty sure it's a biological reality, as trans men could attest. That fear being mostly biological, it exists regardless of legitimate cause.

Men have historically been trapped into the provider role, so it means they must not care about their kids. It is thus entirely fair that the justice system kidnaps their kids and they should stop complaining. Are you sure this is a position you want to have?

Is performing masculinity still a thing most adult men do where you live? I might have a skewed perspective because I live in a very open society even for western standards, but I was under the impression this was not something most men did anymore, at least not to the extent you describe, except maybe in very rural, very underprivileged or very religious settings.

You're not alone. My whole life I had to live "you're one of the good ones". It used to be from conservative small minded people who decided I was masculine enough for their taste. Now it's from supposedly open minded leftists, and it's worse because it feels like a betrayal. In both cases it's people putting themselves above you, in a position of judging the validity of you and all the people like you. It's condescending as fuck.

Exactly. Intersectionalism is a trojan horse. A way for feminism to insert itself in any movement, tell men to "sit back and listen", take control and use it to further thebpatriarchy narrative. It's never about the less fortunate, and always about women in any unfortunate groups. It does not elevate the voice of the voiceless, it silences men among them. What about homeless women?

You were explicitly not using the past tense. "Lesbians absolutely have dealt with and still deal with similar bigotry as gay men." In many places around the world today gay men and boys get executed, jailed, tortured or even forced to medically transition gender (in Iran). And historically it happened on a much larger scale.

The opposite side did not even have access to such hellish weapons. This was a severe case of "crime against humanity as a weapon of war".

Moreover, its inhibition of ALDH enzymes, which are critical in metabolizing toxic aldehydes, could lead to the accumulation of harmful substances in the body."

Could be possible if we're talking unsubstantiated allegations against higher-ups, or maybe repeated demonstrable false accusations. Maybe.

I don't like sharing exact info. It's dangerous to be associated with men's rights, and it's a small country. That being said I'm not sure we're "more evolved". I don't understand the phenomenon. I'm prone to think it is not about being "uncivilized" but about feelings of despair. A judgemental attitude might be an addition to the problem.

I am really happy you felt comfortable posting here. The men's rights movement is (or should be) about gender equality for everyone, even men and masculine people. What we fight is gynocentrism, not women. As you clearly point out, women do suffer from it. Even the entitled assholes who blow you off are not doing great. An eternal feeling of unsatisfaction because "you deserve better" is not a life I envy.

Men's rights is about equality. - Male-only drafts are unequal. - Thinking in terms of "real men are this or that" is unequal. - Equality is not punishment, even when it means equal responsibilities. Women absolutely could go to war. Child soldiers as young as 10 years old are physically capable of going to war. Child soldiers are an atrocity, women soldiers are not. Women are adults. You will not find a men's rights subreddit that will tell you one gender should have rights or responsibilities …

The difference between "patriarchy theory" and heteronormativity is that one is a conspiracy theory and the other is an actual phenomenon. Heteronormativity is the notion that to be normal and acceptable is to live a classical heterosexual lifestyle.

I can be on board with quotas if they are in the interest of the work, not the worker. Male or female nurse doesn't change a thing, so quotas aren't legitimate. On the other hand patients often have a preference for the gender of their therapist as it can affect how they can connect. On top of that, the study of the mind can only be biased if mostly one type of mind does it. So quotas of either gender are legitimate when it's demonstated gender balance brings a significative improvement. Teacher…

Women are still more right wing. It's just that the "left" has become right wing. Right wing means upholding the current social order and elites. That's what women are attracted to: stability, safety and morality. They dislike the subversive, they like purity cultures. Men like the subversive, the struggle. They like macho ideologies that position themselves as a fight against some menace, and they dislike moral authority. This used to be the left, now it's the right. This is why men like sci fi…

I'm not sure women are the limiting factor in our birth rate, at least in Europe where there is maternity leave and other support. Most of the childless women I know wish they had children, they just can't seem to find someone to have them with. And they don't want to be single mothers because it's a terrible idea, for both the mother and the kid. (Also, as a proud father, I must say you don't need to choose between dreams and children.

Having myself become a gay dad through surrogacy, I can attest it's a struggle. Probably because we did that in a country where it's much rarer and unregulated, but also because we were men. Not gay men, just men. I don't believe that a single straight man would even have been considered for the process. Aside from my difficult personnal experience, it's clear it's about men because the political debate around regulating it is stalled by the conundrum of : women gotta stick together, it's a beau…

"Rape culture" as we mostly use it now, like many other terms of the newspeak lexicon, is a distortion of a legitimate term that means something else entirely. "Rape culture" originally referred to the way the american prison system (and society in general) treats the rape of male inmates as an expected part of their sentence. That's a true and legitimate problem we all know about ("don't drop the soap lol"). "Rape culture" as feminists use it, meaning the widespread normalisation of rape in our…

Setting aside the article, which is cliché postmarxist propaganda, the fact that men are not signing up anymore is very significant news for men's rights. When something affects the US Army's ability to function, that somethings becomes a worldwide priority. Multinationals might be powerful, but it's the US Army that is running the show. If it thinks men's issues being too overlooked will hurt its ability to recruit, men's rights have a good chance of becoming a political priority. 🤞

Post modernism happened as a consequences of the maccarthyist purge of universities from marxists. It views the world in an inverted way compared to marxism.

He did betray her. Sure bodily autonomy is definitely a human right, but marriage is an engagement you make. Your spouse should be informed by law of such things.

There are many child rearing philosophies that do not involve either "man up" not "sit back and listen". I have mine, but it's a vast topic. Regarding gender in education I do not believe we should either try to neutralize the subject, nor make it a thing. Children are individuals and we should treat them as such.

"For every right-wing tough guy urging his crying son to “man up,” there’s a voice from the left telling him that to express his concerns is to take airtime away from a woman or someone more marginalized.

Women were not, in any society ever, treated as possessions. Slaves of either gender were treated as possession. They could be bought sold, injured or killed. This never was the case for women in general. It's a false equivalency that's repeated way too often, and it does not serve us to pretend a lie is the truth to seem open-minded or magnanimous. It 's a trap set by american radical feminism to put themselves ahead of slave descendants in the line of equality.

I came upon a book called "you will be a feminist, my son" at a friend's house who had recently become a parent. It reads like a narcissist's playbook. Nothing is my fault or responsibility, everything is yours, child. I fear for these boys and girls raised by toxic and entitled parents who get validated by our dumb society. I do not fear for the MRM though. The kids who don't get broken beyond repair by this will hate their mothers and their ideologies with a passion.

All professionnals know to keep up appearances where it counts, such as public statements they can easily be attacked on. They do slip though, like in "They can be experiencing violence themselves or be impacted by the violence being perpetrated on a loved one, for example, their sister, mother, brother or friend." No father of course could be impacted, because that would suggest a mother could be perpetrating.

It is based on the basic rules of fair trial: you cannot be convicted for something that was not a crime at the moment you did it. Was it normal that it was not a crime for a woman to rape a boy back then? No. Does she deserve her conviction? Yes. Should she be exhonerated? Yes. Remember: when the rules of fair trial wane, men go to jail for things they shouldn't.

The diversity of answers is fascinating. My understanding of emasculation is the situation in which a man is prevented, usually through an imbalanced relationship, to occupy a place as a man in his social unit that is specific to manhood. When a husband has no decision power in his own couple and his partner decides everything and even speaks for him, he is emasculated. When a man is not allowed to display authority over his own children, he is emasculated. I believe the term is of adequate use …

It's a reference to Niccolo Machiavelli's book The Prince.

It depends on what you mean by "the left". Sure there are people who keep on fighting for marxist values although they have recently most almost all notoriety in Europe (and long ago in North America), but it's because they have been pushed out of the political left by liberals in disguise. The third way, realpolitik social democrats dominate the so called leftist parties nowaday.

JK Rowling is not, as the narrative goes, transphobic. She's a biomisandrist: she despises anyone born with a y chromosome, including but not limited to trans women. In conclusion, screw her and her supremacist takes. They are uninformed fantasies she's able to broadcast thanks to her notoriety and money.

Preference is usually linked to material conditions. In China the girls leave while the boys stay, bringing in a wife. Having a girl in the one child policy system meant you were going to grow old and die alone. Are there material conditions of the sort tied to the girl preference of Bangladesh?

Recovery is not months, but maternity leave is. Most of the leave is about taking care of the child. Plus a recovering mother sure could use the help of dad so she can rest. In most countries dad actually has a small leave amounting to the mother's recovery period. The public debate around this is not actually about recovery, it's about territoriality. I gave birth, it's my child. I get to bond.

I would say it's more of a phase symptomatic of the specific issues young gays face. Accepting homosexuality/bisexuality involves rejecting strict gender roles and embracing something in you typically seen as more "feminine".

For a young gay/bi, this makes it hard to go through your journey of self d…

True. Barbie is a magistral demonstration. I find it odd how we seem to collectively have forgotten maoism while you can't read seven words without coming upon fascism or nazism.

I would agree with your reservations if this was a suicide prevention ad. As a work safety ad, I thinks it hits the right notes. We often forget to contemplate death in the eyes, and the easiest way to do that is to see it through the eyes of those who lost loved ones. This ad uses a wife because most victims are men, most of whom are heterosexuals. This ad is not about "don't kill yourself you've got things to live for", it's about "don't kil yourself or your coworkers, death is a tragedy".

Does he have a place to go? That's question no.1. Domestic abuse victims often have to leave their homes (it's hard to kick someone out, especially with authorities not on your side).

Without that, there is a big obstacle to him leaving.

There's a problem : "master's lives as expandable". White was not synonym with master. The south was a multi level class society.

But then "political lesbians" who had chosen to be the crazies of radical feminism rather than participant of the gay movement saw how insanely succeful that movement had become and decided to colonize it.

It's because men crave meat. Simple as that. We need a lot more protein, we were in charge of hunting. Nature made us crave meat so we would risk our lives to kill the mammoth. It is indeed "umanly" to be vegan/vegetarian. Which I see as a good thing personaly. Being strong enough to overcome your primal urges is laudable.

The "ambivalent sexism inventory" on which the cited research is based seems deeply biased, from the items listed at the beginning of the article.
