Yeah I'm with you 100%. I think an analogy might clear up the problem with this suggestion. Take the glass ceiling for example. Source "Men are four times more likely than women to ask for a raise—and when women do ask, we typically request 30% less than men do" So a response to this may be 'women should just be more assertive in the workplace'. While this is a good start, it is also very naive to think this will fix the problem, as it ignores: Less tolorance towards women who do as they are ste…

Yeah you're right unemotional probably isn't the best word for me to use. More like invulnerable/lacking emotions that betray vulnerability. So emotions like fear, insecurity, sadness, etc. are discouraged while confidence, determination, anger, etc. are acceptable and even encouraged.

Yes I agree that bias against men has some very harmful consequences (Life Expectancy and Happiness as some examples). But I still think discussing specific biases is better than using a term like 'pro-female bias' for two reasons: Addressing the Issues: Narrowing down the cause as much as possible makes fixing it much more manageable. For example if we discover that men being separated from the family has a large effect on happiness, or that suicide rates is a large factor in life expectancy, t…

I think saying people have An innate emotional bias in favour of women Is a bit overly broad, and it's helpful to be more specific. For example I think it's fair to say people are biased in percieving women as more: Innocent Vulnerable Competent at caregiving Socially competent But also more Emotional Weak (needing protection and less self-reliant) Irrational At the same time I would say people have a bias in considering men more: Rational Competent at physical jobs Competent at leadership Self-…

So I had a look to see what I could find. The best study I found was Cases of chemical assault worldwide: A literature review (pdf here). In their abstact they say "Male victims were more common, with the exception of Bangladesh and Taiwan". Looking at the paper this varies hugely by country (see Table 2). It ranges from men being ~6 times as likely to be victimised in the UK, to women being ~6 times as likely in Bangledesh. Motives also differ widely by location: There was a wide variety of mot…

Yeah one extreme example of this was during the holocaust. It's well known that homosexuals were persecuted under Nazi rule, but often left ambiguous is the fact that it was almost exclusively gay men. The specific law (known as paragraph 175) says: A man who commits sexual acts (Unzucht) with another man, or allows himself to be misused for sexual acts by a man, will be punished with prison. [1] With the effect being Between 1933 and 1945, an estimated 100,000 men were arrested for violating Na…

Great post, keep up the good work!

While I see where you're coming from there're also a lot of benefits to OP's method. With the state of gender discourse as it is many have a strong defensive reaction to this topic. OP's method skirts around this defensiveness and by the time the reader realises Group X = Men, they may have already begun building empathy. And so they're less likey to jump straight back to being dismissive (Kinda like a Sunk Empathy-Cost Fallacy). Plus a diversity of tactics is always useful.

Many people look down and see themselves on the wrong side and quietly step over. That's a great way to put it, couldn't agree more.

You do great stuff. It's clear, concise and always well cited. Some of my favourite amongst all the Mens Rights subs I follow. I just hope it reaches more and more people. Keep up the great work!

Ahh fair, so succumbing to market pressures then. That's unfortunate.

Of course, me neither. Do any of the Menslib resources do that? Other commenters have suggested we vet them first just to make sure, which seems like a good idea to me.

I think you made a typo, it should be 'only 23% of teachers are male' rather than white.

Good question. My best idea would be for some of us to go through and give positives/negatives of each site to you. After that you could make a sticky post with the list of resources alongside the positive/negative feedback. Then in the comments of the sticky post anyone can double check the feedback or give their own. To keep it short, it could be done by section, e.g. one post on Suicide/Mental health resources, one post on Domestic violence resources, etc. Finally the resources generally seen…

Sure, Im also frustrated with over moderation on the sub. So including resources after checking them as legitimate seems a good idea to me.

Regardless of views on the sub as a whole, spreading useful resources to men who may need it seems like a good thing to do.

Nice article, giving a name to and concisely explaining some of the biases many of us see in mainstream gender discourse. Hopefully these discussions continue and we can understand and reduce these biases somewhat. Nice post Op

I follow menslib and enjoy interacting here (hopefully in good faith). I don't think making generalisations helps anyone. As others have said reporting trolls is the way to go.

Hey man, I'm sorry you feel this way and I definitely think seeing a therapist to help unravel these feelings is a good choice. It seems that you recognise these double standards and extreme thoughts are irrational but you still have the gut reaction (please correct me if I'm wrong). For myself, when I feel/think something I know isn't true it helps to take a second (breath deeply) and actively challenge that thought: Why do i think this? Do I have any solid evidence for this or am I overreactin…

It might be funny/shocking in a 'holy shit there are some legitimate psychos out there' sort of way. But when the guy says by making a sandwich after breaking up "he deserved the stabbing". Thats pretty fucked up.

Hey man I feel you and hope you're alright. As someone who goes to therapy Id definitely recommend it if you can afford (or even if there's a school/college counselling service). Its great to have a place to work through this shit without fear of judgement. Whatever you do take care of yourself man :)

In my opinion it's an ok thread. The Op seems to recognise their friend has a point and takes him seriously (even defending him from other commenters who arent as understanding). I also saw decent support for the idea that Op was wrong to generalise men for one persons actions (although sadly some weren't to reasonable). Finally reading Op's comments she seems genuinely open minded and unwilling to mischaracterise her friend even if it makes her look better. So I dont feel right being too harsh …

While I do wish these articles were more aware of male victims, the Domestic Abuse Bill itself seems pretty decent and gender neutral. For example their definition of domestic violence is: Definition of “domestic abuse” (1) This section defines “domestic abuse” for the purposes of this Part. (2) Behaviour of a person (“A”) towards another person (“B”) is “domestic abuse” if— (a) A and B are each aged 16 or over and are personally connected to each other, and (b) the behaviour is abusive. (3) Beh…

According to Wikipedia it seems Gregory Pincus and John Rock) were the first to create modern birth control.

The quote seems to be from this article on the CARE website. Here are my two cents after reading. Article Title: YEMEN: MORE THAN 3 MILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS SUFFERING THE BRUNT OF THE ONGOING CONFLICT, WARNS CARE Obviously "Suffering the brunt of the ongoing conflict" is ignoring/downplaying the plight of men/boys in the conflict (granted I don't know much about the Yemeni civil war, Wikipedia article for those interested), so anyone more knowledgeable feel free to weigh in). We see this again in…

AnyMan is a great male focused domestic violence service in Ireland. I'm glad we have it. Nice topic OP.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
