Something to take into account is most rape statistics overlook prison populations, and when you account for that, the frequency of male perpetrators of rape committed against men is without a doubt higher than female perpetrators, even accounting for under-reporting.

I've been saying this for years, but the discrimination against the trans community is in lockstep with misandry. The justification TERFs make for their discrimination against trans people is the "threat" transwomen supposedly pose towards cisgender women (while transwomen face physical harm at higher rates than cisgender women) and the "internalized misogyny" that transmen supposedly have, which is the argument used against women who talk about men's issues. All of that being said, this confusi…

These behaviors are systematic of a cluster B personality disorder. I'm not saying he has one, but I do think your nephew should be evaluated by a psychologist. I also don't think you should take being called a misogynist by him as a genuine opinion of his when he has recently displayed such erratic mood swings.

In the United States, the "right to vote" is actually something women have and men don't because of conscription. If a man wants the privilege of voting he has to be conscripted but a woman doesn't have to be conscripted in order to vote. If conscription existed as a prerequisite for the voting rights of every American, then it wouldn't be a restriction on voting rights as it would be universal. In 1918, the U.S. Supreme decided on a case that challenged the draft as an infringement of the 14th …

It's a lot more complicated than one gender collectively affecting another. Society is built on dated gender dynamics that adapt to modern sensibilities, but ultimately fall back on negative attitudes from those regressive histories. It just so happens that people of certain gender and sexual identities are more impacted by those identities in certain places and in certain contexts. All women aren't responsible for the physical or emotional harm happening to just one man just like all men aren't…

The first sexist law that I noticed as an American was the restriction for the right to vote for men in regards to conscription. I had to make a decision when I turned eighteen whether I would be willing to risk being drafted and sign up for conscription in order to have the right to vote but my sister never had to make that decision. She just got her right to vote.

Regardless of whether this apology is genuinely heartfelt or a strategic move, nobody can know for sure, ultimately actions speak louder than words and she should know that. 400 words is not worth a man's life, and that is what her false testimony took from this man.

My dad got my mom to pay child support for three years when I chose to primarily live with him, as I was in his custody between the ages of 19-21 and in New York that is still considered grounds for child support.

The way they get away with this on technicalities are the phrases, "We encourage" and "including but not limited to". So any time someone points out the discriminatory practice they are engaging in, they can easily say there is no "explicit" restrictions against any demographic.

I think categorizing any human rights movement or initiative that aids women and girls in crisis as "feminist" is furthering the notion that the only ideology that can aid women is feminism. Women's rights should be considered more than a movement that began as an offshoot of Marxism with ties to racist organizations. Women's rights, like men's rights, are more important than a Frankenstein ideology based on sexist, racist, and generally bigoted ideas muddied up in early socialist terminology.

A major red flag that clued me in that this article is intentionally inflammatory is the detail about hormone therapy at age 8. There is not a single registered medical practitioner in the entire United States who would allow any kind of hormone therapy at an age that low. Also, hormone therapy is a medical intervention that requires a lot of professional evaluation to be allowed legally in the first place. ​ There is definitely something to be said though about parents who intentionally force t…

Precisely. This is also why studies related to SAT results with men scoring slightly higher than women are misunderstood, as women tend to take SATs more than men, so a large portion of the men who would normally score below and thus average out the extra positive outliers for men's IQs are choosing to not even take the test, as they opt out of higher education entirely.

As a pansexual person, let me state, "HIV status and openness thereof between intimate partners is paramount regardless of sexual identity or the sexes of the parties involved". There are so many options for partners of HIV-positive individuals. There are a plethora of medications and contraceptive options, all of which would protect a person's sexual partner more than your silence.

Sexual harassment can be committed regardless of sexuality or sexual leanings of the perpetrator. Lesbians could sexually harass men, gay men could sexually harass women, straight men could sexually harass men, straight women could sexual harass women. Sometimes it's just a horrendous power move on the part of the harasser.

The ridiculous implication when places choose to convert male restrooms to unisex and keep female restroom the same is that now female restrooms appear to be equivalent to handicapped restrooms, thus implying being female is some kind of handicap.

You can point out to her that men are objectified in other ways: such as how U.S. men are still required to be conscripted in order to have the right to vote. Men are 97.7% of deaths in battle, 62% of homeless, 77.9% of suicide victims, 77.4% of homicides, and 93% of workplace fatalities. The way men are objectified is as the neutral victim, the victim that is expected by society as more normal and expected.

The best thing to do first and foremost is to not censor yourself in a way to avoid causing another person distress, as self-censorship does little to further address the challenges every individual faces in modern society, especially in regards to oft-forgotten or ignored male-oriented issues. To believe that you should "act a certain way" as a product of your gender or personal history is to think backwards. Act as you believe is accurate to how you feel you want to act. Holding back is the en…

Not only that, there are so many things wrong with a victim of sexual assault or rape committing the act themselves. 1) They commit the act, 2) They didn't come through their horrible experience and become a person that prevents the act, 3) They perpetuate the idea that victims become perpetrators, 4) They use their personal history as a defense.

It normalizes the behavior if he doesn't acknowledge that what she did was wrong. Even if he didn't personally feel like a victim, it doesn't change the fact that many people in his position would and should be offended or even feel like they have been victimized. What he feels on the matter is one thing, but at least acknowledge that consent is important across the board when it comes to sexual contact.

I feel I must ask: why must every act of female empowerment be classified as feminist in nature? Feminism is only one approach to female empowerment. Classifying any positive actions of any woman as feminist is like classifying every miracle in life as coming from God. Who's to say the people affected would identify with that distinction for their actions? Why can't it be about the person instead of the ideology?

The unfortunate truth is that male victims of nearly any crime are virtually invisible to the general population. In fact, many infrastructures are built on this lack of visibility, as the acknowledgement of these issues can lead to shifts in funding, therefore cuts in pay and staffing. You would think that exposing these kinds of issues individuals face would be enough to address this lack of attention, but individual cases tend to be misunderstood as the exception to the norm.

Honestly, any person who claims one ideology answers all questions and must deliver all truth is in fact following a cult mentality.

Simply put, just because MRAs support general men's issues doesn't mean they de facto aren't interested in any other social or political issues.

I think it's really important to bring this to light in many aspects of society. The misandry faced across communities can be accentuated by factors such as race, sexuality, or even age. Life is difficult for a lot of people. Men get the raw end of the stick in the western world when it comes to criminal accusations, and racial lines sure as hell play a role in that.

Even though the original comic series is very wrong in its presumptions and ideas, it doesn't mean this edit is correct either.

It's crazy how people can overextend gender identity to other forms of identity because of fear of being bigoted in any way. Gender expression is an observable aspect. Racial differences, height differences, these qualities are all genetics outright (unless of course there's some major plastic surgery/life alterations at play).

All of that being said, I think it's perfectly okay and encouraged that you still consider women's issues as well as men's issues if that is something that drives you. Feminism does not equal women's issues or women's rights and as such, the faults of one ideology shouldn't dictate the validity of actual issues in the field that that ideology claims to address.

This is one of the situations in which trans issues overlaps with men's issues. It's important to notice that transwomen get treated negatively for the perception by others that they are "men".

I don't get to say it, but if they claim they are a woman in only one form but then they proceed to call themselves a man in every other documentation they fill out that year, there is reason to be suspicious. All of that being said, I am more concerned with a person's conscience in the grand scheme of things. To misgender yourself is a horrible thing to do, for everyone.

I am not cowering in fear of displeasing trans people. I just happen to be personally inclined to the struggles trans people face, especially being misgendered. I approach every situation I can manage to face with as rational as an approach as possible. Could you imagine how fucking screwed men's issues would be if a women's program or women's incentive financial break was found to be abused by a cisgender man who was "abusing the system for their own benefit".

But identifying as a gender that you weren't assigned to at birth and claiming that you identify as a gender that you weren't assigned to at birth just to benefit from a sexist system is inherently appalling.

If there is a record of the person identifying themselves as a male everywhere else at the present time, they would be quick to call them out on fib. That being said, if it did work, there would be the ultimate issue in that they would be essentially abusing the position of genderfluid and trans people for the sake of circumnavigating a sexist system. If the public figures out they did this and feminists catch wind, you can imagine not only the public backlash but the personal backlash as well. …

I think the main issue comes into play with the parents of the main character.

I actually had an idea for this for a platonic gender relations Bechdel test: 1) Does the movie have both a named female and male character who: 2) Interact throughout the movie, 3) And never act on or express out loud sexual tension or romantic/sexual feelings towards each other. Bonus points if both characters involved also don't have romantic subplots with other characters in the movie. (Backstory =/= subplot, event =/= subplot)

This may be because women feel more social pressure to appear as clean as possible, therefore anything dirty about themselves has to be done as far away from others as possible, hence the ladies room. It's why you'll find women too afraid to be seen without any make-up. Personally, I would love it if people were just clean creatures overall, but that's not the case. People need to realize that the human body and some human behaviors are just gross.

I tried that in the beginning, but then I dug into the history of feminism after hearing Karen Straughan speak at the men's conference in Detroit. What I learned is that fighting for or caring about the rights, security, privacy, or empowerment of women doesn't automatically mean you have to align with feminism. In fact, I find that the feminist narrative can be summed up as Marxist literature, with bourgeoisie becoming men and proletariat becoming women, with women as perpetual victims of a "pa…

I feel like the transition in first-world nations will involve a post-modern women's movement that celebrates actual empowerment of women without gender being a factor for individuals representing the entirety of a group, as well as being a branch off of the egalitarian movement, which could work in conjunction with what the MRA organizations of today will become once our political climate becomes more welcoming to discussing male issues.

When I was transitioning between feminism and men's rights, I found myself cherry picking between both stances, but then shit like this (among other factors) pushed me away from feminism completely. Ultimately, I think the gender disparity exists on both sides and in different ways, but until I find a women's rights group and people associated with it that aren't just feminists in disguise, I'm going to have to settle with what I know from men's rights issues and work on what I can. I still wish…

This is how I see it: Feminists see feminism as a religious ideology at this point, of which any dissension comes from "infidels", ahem "misogynists". They make sure feminism includes every opinion that they can force into it. Therefore, in their minds, feminism defines themselves as people. Therefore a person can't have an identity beyond feminism, they are just empty shells to them. Saying you are an MRA doesn't sound right to them because they believe you are saying that you are just an MRA, …

Well then surely you can't be prejudiced against Mongolians, considering how they have a historical record of systematic oppression across most of Asia.

From this limited perspective I've been presented, it appears that you are living in an emotionally imbalanced household and should be aware that you run the risk of emotional abuse in this situation.

On a serious note, Paul Elam really fucks up the PR of the MRM. He says way too many things that are exaggerated, taken out of context, or just meant to be parody.

I think there's something that feminists need to realize when speaking about the MRM. Having a political affiliation does not mean that the political affiliation defines you in its entirety.

According to these numbers, more than 1% of Canada's population would be sexually assaulted each year.

Also, treating children differently based on arbitrary gender standards should be addressed in early education. 95% of elementary school teachers in the U.S. are women.
