Future Airman here. When me and other future Airmen and Airwomen (if that's even a word) practice for our PTs, it kind of strikes me as unfair when some of my male friends have to struggle to get their run times down or their pushup counts up, but then when my female friends don't work nearly as hard as they do, it's a-okay. I guess it's not a big deal since none of us are going to be boots-on-the-ground combatants, but military members are, and should be, held to certain standards of physical f…

If the "obesity" is calculated from BMI, then a lot of "obese" cops might have a few extra pounds, sure, but have all sorts of muscle underneath it to back it up. I know a few cops, one of them is about 5'6" and weighs about as much as I do at about six feet tall. He looks a bit chubby, but he can squat and deadlift a healthy amount, can bench a lot more than me, and he's agile and fast. He's also certainly overweight in terms of BMI, and quite probably obese as well. He has a relatively high bo…

Fifty years ago in the South, it was considered polite for blacks to yield their seats to whites. Some people still seem to think that it's polite for men to yield their seats to women, so I think we've still got some work left to do.

I'd like to note that women are, in general, not princesses, and should therefore not be treated as such. They should be treated with respect and courtesy, but no one should wait on anyone else hand and foot simply on the basis of gender. If you want to do something pleasant to a friend or significant other, that's great, and if you want to do something to give an easier time to a physically decrepit person, that's also great, but able-bodied persons should not expect preferential treatment due …

I'm sure she regrets what she did, but let's remember that she didn't just tell a lie to make a bad situation go away. She elaborated on it and saw it through to the very end, only doing the right thing four years after it was too late. Apart from that, $90,000 over four years isn't that much money, especially once you consider time lost for personal and professional development, the type of shit the guy went through in prison, and the kind of shit he will go through for having been a prisoner. …

It's really an awful thing that children (read: boys) are so terribly oppressed by "zero tolerance" weapons regulations in school to the point that drawing guns in a notebook is a fast track to suspension and the permanent ruination of your academic career. I remember I got to a hairsbreadth from such a fate in high school and was only shown a meager amount of mercy because the school administrator knew my mother. Naturally, when my mother found out that I had drawn three guns in my notebook, sh…

You're correct insofar that common law does not allow you to brandish a firearm except in circumstances in which its discharge is also legal. However, what I tried to imply was that if you fear death or grave bodily harm and respond by drawing your weapon with the intention of using it, and the attack stops, then you can't shoot, but you'd be entirely reasonable in holding your attacker until law enforcement arrives. Knives are absolutely deadly weapons, but I'm convinced that you'd have an easi…

Personally, I've had a very privileged life (which I am most grateful for), but my sister and my female cousins have had similar lives, so I frankly don't think that gender alone can generally indicate privilege, or a lack thereof. We were lucky enough to be born into good households in the US, with good parents, with good jobs, with good sense. That's the kind of privilege that really matters, and that's the kind of privilege that men and women can enjoy.

As a general rule of thumb, common law allows you to use an amount of force proportional to the amount of force used against you for self-defense. For example, you can only shoot someone (or threaten to shoot someone via drawing a gun) if you have a reason to fear death or grave bodily harm because your attacker is bigger, stronger, if there's more than one attacker, or if he/she/they has gotten you on the ground where you can't escape and can't roll with kicks or punches. Recent legal changes, …

I agree that men and women (and boys and girls, to a degree) should be tough enough to deal with life's more unpleasant points. For example, if you're reduced to tears as a result of not getting your favorite parking spot, how are on Earth are you going to deal with job loss, or the deaths of relatives and friends, if and when they happen? In contrast... I once had a highschool teacher who talked about how strange it was that boys don't ever show their emotions or let them out among friends, let…

Contrary to what our dear former Secretary of State and First Lady might tell you, men are overwhelmingly the victims of war and all forms of civilian crime except for rape and sexual assault, and maybe not so much on rape once you take into account prison rape. Think about the really lowest points in humanity, like war, or the Holocaust, or other forms of genocide. Men are targeted at the same rates women as an absolute lower bound, and people don't even realize it until you tell them!

And you're not a true Scotsman. Look, feminism can mean a lot of different things to different people (which is why I'm loathe to identify as a feminist, or a men's rights guy for that matter), so I don't think one gains very much by telling other people how they should or shouldn't identify themselves.

It's a double standard because FGM is (rightly) treated as outrageous by the intelligentsia and political class in the US; on the other hand, male circumcision is just a ho-hum thing. We don't even call it male genital mutilation, FFS.

It almost seems like common sense to me. Business casual for me is slacks and longsleeves, or polos, tucked in, with dress shoes. I'm not sure about what the rules would be for women, but I'd laugh at anyone who suggested that business casual for women means that tank tops are okay unless something more covering is worn over it.

Jeff Cranson, assistant principal at Greeley West High School, said Thursday that tank tops are not addressed directly in the school's dress code, but the school wants students to dress in a professional manner, and the policy is consistent with general practice in the business world.

Genital mutilation is such fun when talking about men. Apart from the rather sickening display that the lovely ladies of The View put on when discussing a guy being castrated by his wife, it's not really shocking in our society for women to talk about "neutering" guys. Por ejemplo You can think what you want about Glenn Beck, but I don't think it's a good thing when it's possible to discuss one's political enemies with such dehumanizing terms and not suffer social consequences as a result.

I'm not sure about that. The Supreme Court has held that you have a right to privacy where there is an expectation of privacy, and even if you're having sex with someone else at their home in their bed, there is an expectation of privacy there. If you film someone willingly entering your house, that's probably legal, as there's no expectation of privacy outside of one's house on open land or on the walk up to the house, but once you enter the house and definitely once you enter the bedroom, ther…

Yeah, this setup is worse off for girls than it is for guys. Although male students might appreciate 40 minutes to talk, setting that amount of time aside for studying is certainly better for your grades. I suggest the OP recommend that his teacher give students up to 40 minutes to finish unfinished homework, and if they do all their homework, then they can talk. That would be the best solution.

Another thing worth mentioning is that these individuals are not law enforcement officers.

This was probably the most unwise thing I've ever seen in my life. The bail enforcement agents created a volatile situation where there was one, putting themselves, their target, and bystanders in danger. I have no idea how to run such an operation, but I'm sure that with even the slightest amount of thought and planning, I could have done something better than this.

What's very saddening is that some people are speculating in an utterly derogatory manner about this individual's sexuality. Let's imagine, for a moment, that he was gay, or that a gay guy was treated the same way by a woman. That doesn't make him less of a human being, and it doesn't lessen what was done to him.

I don't have the training, skill, or legal authority to insert myself in a violent situation and be certain that I'm going after the right guy.

The same sentiment was expressed by Hillary Clinton. Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today’s warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children. In other words, the en masse deaths of men are only of moral significance because th…

A good response to this question is to ask her her opinion about a gender breakdown of the really, really bad shit that can happen to people. Women may "win" for rape (although once you take into account prison rape in the US, maybe not) and sexual assault, but what about murder, death in war, poverty, homelessness, incarceration and other assorted forms of violence? Put another way, war itself is not really a problem for humans in general, it's a problem for men.

Oh, it's almost certainly rape legally, and I'm not the kind of guy who'd get off on that sort of thing anyway. What is disturbing to me is the idea that you can get locked up for doing something that's not clearly a violation of someone else's rights.

I disagree and I've been taken to task for it in the past, but I can see why you'd say that. I think that if you tell someone that they can come into your house on a given day even if you're not there, and they do, and they you complain about it, you're nuts. On the other hand, if you tell someone they can come into your house, you change your mind and let them know about it, and they come into your house anyway, then they're nuts.

There's a sort of implication here that romantic life isn't risky for men, or that it's less risky than it is for women. I admit that women are probably more likely to experience date-rape than men, but men are as likely to experience physical violence, and probably more likely to experience emotional or psychological abuse. Not to mention that it's not socially acceptable to cruelly reject a woman's advances (and rightly so), but guys get cruelly rejected all the time.

I am open to the idea of reforming AOC laws by removing them entirely and making it totally a matter of whether or not consent was given, but in the current legal situation, children are not able to consent to sex. Apart from that, even if there were no AOC laws on the books right now, it's very, very hard for me to conceive of a nine year old truly consenting to sex with a nineteen year old, and I would expect the police to thoroughly investigate such an activity as rape straight up.

Yeah, if you're a homemaker who employs people to do 80% of your job for you, that's not really respectable.

What happened was obviously fucked up, and it's useful to point out how this might have been received differently if the babysitter was male, but beyond that, I think we have bigger battles to fight. I'm actually sort of shocked by this statement. Shouldn't preventing the sexual and physical abuse of young, defenseless boys be of highest priority not just to MRAs, but any reasonable people?

This whole affair is really disheartening to me. I say that if there exists one of the rare women who can meet the physical qualifications that would allow her to perform on the battlefield, then by God, let her perform on the battlefield as an equal to her overwhelmingly male peers. The idea of a group of soldiers under fire being hampered due to the fact that some of them are severely physically under-prepared for the insanity of combat, however, is nightmarish.

But having sex with a relative stranger while they're asleep is pretty screwed up. No doubt about that. I understand the problem with my opinion is that if you have sex with someone in an unconscious state (without consent having been given beforehand), what happens if they decide that they're alright with it, and then they change their mind? Does it become rape if they change their mind? This is a real legal and moral problem I wish people discussed more. What's really concerning is that this s…

In my opinion, if you become unconscious due to drug/alcohol use and wake up to someone having sex with you, it's only rape if you don't like it or you don't want it. In other words, no harm, no foul. Of course, if you're the conscious one and you're having sex with someone who's unconscious due to drug/alcohol use, not only is that really creepy shit, but it may or may not be rape depending on the opinion of the person you're having sex with when they become conscious.

I always try to remember that no matter how bad women had it, with being treated like property by being married off to people they didn't necessarily like (or even know), men were pretty much in the same boat.

On average, according to the group, about 9 percent of the documented killings across Syria are of women, who are unlikely to have picked up arms in the conflict, and girls, who are inherently noncombatants. That means that, at minimum, nearly one casualty in 10 is likely a civilian, their statistics show. So, girls are inherently noncombatants--but what about young boys?
