When called gay: "Your tone suggests you think that is an insult. What do you have against gay people?" What they won't admit is that Dworkinites do have a very serious problem with gay men, because such men are not interested in relationships where they provide resources to women in exchange for nothing. This reluctance is indistinguishable from violent misogyny in the context of their worldview.

You don't actually have to deal with them at all. Just develop a sense of schadenfreude and have a good laugh. As I said before, the dating pool is entirely toxic, the game is rigged, and so the only winning move is not to play.

At base, it's a play on the first line of Pride and Prejudice. That said, the best easy to attract a woman is simply to not need one. The more that you represent a font of unsupervised resources, the more you will be pressured.

There are two questions you ask. Was it sex? Based on your description, yep. Was there at least one non-consenting party? Again, based on your description, yep. Conclusion: Rape.

It also doesn't matter if she eventually badgered/coerced him into a yes when he started out with a no.

The man in question was not in public. He was passed out in his own home. His reasonable expectation of privacy was violated when she opened the door, his civil rights were feloniously violated when she filmed it, and she committed a second felony when she posted it online.

No. He means the male life expectancy. By adjusting the male life expectancy upward by the observed gap in global life expectancy at birth, UNDP inflates the male population's score on the "Long and Healthy Life" axis, this inflating the men's score overall and making it appear that women are, as a group, disadvantaged relative to reality.

It's always inappropriate to make a moral or other value judgement about an individual based on an involuntary group membership. This includes any biological characteristic, sexual orientation and the religion the individual was raised in. Once you've interacted with the individual, it's entirely appropriate to make judgements based on their individual behavior, regardless of the motivation for that behavior.

In a way, they do. But, it's not something they can declare or legislate or come together and decide directly. Masculinity is simply a reward-driven response to displayed preferences by the preferred sexual partner. That's why straight masculinity and gay masculinity are so different. Women, as a class, get the men, as a class, that they reward. If there are too many bad straight men, it's because too many women reward them for the behavior.

Neither candidate was a mens' candidate. Both sides want to use men qua men, just for different things, so the damage is essentially a wash. Considering the other issues at play in this year,though, a man who voted for Trump was merely wrong. A woman who voted for him was suicidal. When pundits look to assign blame over the next few weeks, do not let them forget that this bloc of suicidally stupid women voted for him, and that no other bloc could have brought him across the line if they hadn't.

"Does this cycle apply to girls?" is the wrong question, because a sufficiently shameless interlocutor can simply say "no".

As a male teacher, you already exist on sufferance alone. If you rock the boat, your career is over. Of course, if any student, parent, or co-worker catches a whim, your career is over too. You're better off asserting your employment rights, extracting some value (money) from the situation, and exiting on your own terms than waiting for someone to kick you to the curb because she can.

It's a simple EV calculation. The reward for approaching a woman who wants to be approached is worth much less happiness than it costs to approach a woman who does not want to be approached.

A self-described feminist who believes in equality between the sexes has a political opinion and thus can be reasoned with, but you should expect a lot of denial and "no true Scotsman". A self-described feminist who believes in patriarchy theory, on the other hand, has a religion and cannot be reasoned with.

Toxic masculinity exists; however, it is not so much a thing men do as a thing that women think. A concept of masculinity is a set of expectations, "This is what men do". More accurately, it is a set of behaviors that are rewarded by society. If the set of expected/rewarded behaviors is on balance harmful to the men who practice them, then that particular concept of masculinity is toxic. By this yardstick, modern Western heterosexual masculinity is very toxic, since the expected behaviors amount…

There is a difference. "I prefer modest women, so I will not date/will break up with a non-modest woman" - Boundary, perfectly fine, good even.

There are no toxic masculinity behaviors, because toxic masculinity is not a thing men do. It is a thing that women think. The process and practice of masculinity has always been in large part determined by the responses of heterosexual women to the behavior of heterosexual men. For this reason, if society's standards for men are twisted and toxic, it is because women have collectively set them that way, and only women can change them.

The idea of the "real man" is a canard of the worst kind.

Not taboo, but not really useful either. The idea that there are standards of masculine behavior that are harmful to men has merit, but the phrase is often used to blame men for these standards when they are ingrained and enforced primarily by women: first mothers, then teachers, and finally prospective mates raised by the same pool of mothers and teachers. The other common misuse of the term is as a tool to blame men as a whole when a given man commits a despicable act, and in so doing good ove…

With the understanding that most masculinity (and to be clear, I am defining masculinity as "the behaviors a society expects from men" as specifically opposed to "the things men do") boils down to "sacrifice yourself and expect nothing in return", I'd say absolutely toxic, and possibly irredeemably so. Really, any society that is fueled by the blood and bones of its men is going to have to have a toxic idea of masculinity to keep the sacrifice train running.

Honestly, very few things.

Find a ready source of good porn, and keep yourself well-satisfied. The kind of women of which you need to be wary are overwhelmingly uninteresting when you aren't thinking with your dick. Because the universe is perverse, this sort of general disinterest and tendency to treat with women as normal people rather than with the deference they have come to expect will actually make you more attractive in general.

Rape is a crime more often tried on credibility and circumstance than on conclusive evidence. As a result, you have 3 possible outcomes for a formal accusation: Provably true/conviction, Provably false, Unproven. The vast majority of tried cases fall into the third category. Just to put some numbers on it, consider a hypothetical 1000 trials, with 30 convictions and 30 provably false allegations. Depending on your biases, that one set of numbers can turn into any number of things: 97% of rapists…

Humiliation doesn't have to come from a peer group. Authority can manage the task just fine.

Possibly. However, the process of forcing him to hand over a key will likely take longer than the process of getting an exclusionary order that will make it retroactively ok.

It's just another way of expressing my initial point. The idea of patriarchy is not a conclusion to these people.

IT isn't unusual. The narrative requires that women owe men nothing, so anything a man does must be treated as no more than a belatedly met obligation.
