'Tall men' I could almost understand as a shorter fella. We all paid the same ticket price pal, and we're nowhere near the stage - I'm standing here because I wouldn’t see shit anywhere else, so try not to be a knob and stand right ion front of me, eh? I know you know I'm here, why not help a brother - and his short girlfriend - out and stand somewhere where we can all see? But because of skin colour? Nah, sorry love! I've dropped better artists than you for crappy behaviour!

I had a similar experience, even in the medically-adjacent sphere - IE support groups/organisations. I'm not religious. I'm not a woman. I'm not gay. I'm not an ethic minority or from a particular place of origin. But I'll tell you what I am... shit outta luck! There was nothing for me. Yet people still try to claim that the health services are somehow 'male by default'.

AOC is a fraud - she dropped Medicare For All like a hot brick the moment she was re-elected. She even had a massive bargaining chip in the form of her (and the Squads) vote on Pelosi's Speakership vote and she rolled over instantly. America had never been closer to universal healthcare and she blew it without a fight. Fuck AOC.

Take a look at this post from 3 years ago. Short answer - Yes! The debate referrenced actually happened within the UK Parliament, more specifically the House of Lords.

The most prolific recorded rapist in the UK was Reynhard Sinaga, who commited at least 136 individual rapes, in just 2 years (2015 - 2017). All of the victims were heterosexual men. Almost no-one knows, or even recognises, his name. This is taken directly from his wikipedia page: "Reynhard Tambos Maruli Tua Sinaga (born 19 February 1983) is an Indonesian serial rapist who was convicted of 159 sex offences, including 136 rapes of young men, committed in Manchester, England, between 2015 and 2017,…

I don't know why people think I'm giving the women's team more praise than they deserve, but if they do they are misreading my intent. The state of women's football is atrocious. Embarrassing really.

Yeah, there are examples of this, across multiple sports. The problem is, they never learn! They just keep digging and have their arses handed to them over and over again! At least Serena Williams had the grace to admit that she couldn't compete against the men. I imagine she was aware of the result of the Bobby Riggs v Margaret Court match in 1973!

I agree, but any team can only play the team that is in front of them. If they beat the best team in the world - regardless as to how good/bad they are, then that's an achievement.

It was a bit of a hollow victory too, given that the best women's team wasn't even in the tournament. When the 'Lionesses' beat the 'Yanks' then, perhaps, we'll talk! Reworking 'Three Lions' based on that is sacrilege! :D

Whilst I congratulate the Women's England football team on their achievement, it's hardly the same thing as the Men's 1966 World Cup win. They beat (cough*cheated*cough) the best teams in the world at that time, and I say that as an Englishman! The best women's team on the planet at the moment in football are the USA, and they were obviously ineligible for the Euro's Tournament.

One of the most straightforward points is that, in many countries including here in the UK, women simply cannot be charged with 'Rape' as it is not on the statute books. As these laws stand women simply cannot be rapists, as the legal definition does not allow for it. I do not agree with this position, but there it is. Therefore these infographics are comparing apples and oranges.

No, my ego isn't threatened. However the lack of a male centric national health strategy like women already have in the UK, including Prostate Cancer screening which is a huge killer of men, might threaten my life one of these days! Also on the subject of one-sided 'equality', I would point you to a striking post made here a month or so ago on Men & Boys and DV in the UK.

I'm not saying the law is malicious, per se, but there is plenty of scope for it to be used in such a way. The law has been tilted in the women's favour for family law, especially custody and financial liability for a long time now. As for consequences, it's a very well documented fact that in the US women can put a child up for adoption with no financial liability. Men have no such option.

In the UK, female on male rape simply does not exist in the eyes of the law. It's not on the statute books, hence the charge cannot be made. Which is why, infuriating as it is, you often see these stories reported without the use of the word 'rape'. Because - technically - it's not, and it would open them up to legal action to report it in such a way. For the record, for my money, it absolutely is rape.

When there is a supposedly finite amount of money for support and it is deliberately syphoned off for women, at the expense of men, then how can the conversation be anything else?

Interesting. I'm not familiar with the talk show that you mention, so I can't honestly comment but I'll take what you said as read. Another thread has mentioned how people are seeing stories pop up in the media 'spinning' things in Jada's favour and making out that Will and his ego are the problem. TBH, I'm sure he does have a large ego, who wouldn't after his success? But, as Bill Burr says "Even hockey has 5 minutes for instigating!". I don't think that people realise how nasty she is, as evid…

There seems to be very little sympathy, or indeed empathy, for Will Smith in this thread which I find pretty depressing. Especially considering the purpose of this sub. The man was brought up by an abusive, narcissistic father and has married a narcissistic woman. His trauma has never had the chance to heal. His religion (Scientology) forbids him to separate from her, so to get away from her he would have to leave Scientology and that ain't easy! And that's without any form of Stockholm Syndrome…

I think what disturbs me is that all he seems to be drawing is scorn when he needs help and/or support. I don't want to seem as though I'm singling you out for special criticism, but if scorn is all he can get, even in a sub dedicated to men's rights, then what chance does he realistically have?

I've been in a place like that, mentally, before. The only way I could easily describe it is by using that scene in Robocop 2. Robocop has so many contradictory directives going around in his head that he can't function properly. In the end, he is so fucked up that he has to take the nuclear option and fry himself on an electrical substation to wipe his hard drive. If that would have been an option, I would have actively looking for such a substation to use to reset my hard drive too a few years…

This was exactly my response. Will's mental health has been looking shaky for a while now. On one of the most pressurised nights of his life, looking to be only the 5th black male 'best actor' and hoping that that in turn will restart his career, he is faced with Chris Rock - who has taken pot-shots at them before - and he has a mental break. I find it tough to do anything but empathise with him to be honest.

It's worse than that. If you get a reputation as being... 'uncooperative' then that news spreads fast. It's not so much 'the more you suck the more you progress' as 'if you don't suck, you don't even get started' and all the casting directors that are into that shit know each other and will report back. So if you 'wrong' one you 'wrong' them all, and your career is over before it gets started - hence 'gatekeepers'. I can only hope that the days of such strangleholds are over, but I'll believe it…

Because it's not a 'Quid Pro Quo', it's abuse of power.

With respect, Intersectionality only works when those groups have already been found to be separate, as you point out. It's is about finding where things intersect, therefore placing emphasis on where they are also separate. The point I'm making is that, intersectionality is fine until it's not. Beyond that it starts to become a problem. Per your example, a 'black gay man' is all three things but also therefore separate to black straight men. Therefore he 'needs' his own advocacy etc. The two bl…

Because, given time, that's what intersectionality inevitably does. If you take a cake, and cut it in half, you have 2 pieces. Each of those pieces exist because one half has different wants/needs to the other, but they are still large pieces/groups so that's fine. ...time passes... You are now 200 cuts later and what was once a comparatively large half of the whole is now little more than a crumb. However, just like before, each crumb has different wants/needs.

As difficult as it is to empathise with someone who teaches at Eton, of all places, this situation is appalling! Pleased to hear he came out on top, even if he/was is teaching the Bullingdon Boys of tomorrow.

I completely agree. That's why I get so angry about the current pervasive messaging of "Just talk to someone", as though it's a magic panacea! I have seen 6 therapists over the last 12 years or so, and I'm on my 7th anti-depressant, with no cessation of symptoms at all. I know where my issues came from (trauma-based childhood issues) but no-one has ever addressed the anger, nor given me the 'tools' to 'overcome' it. I'm now 45 and feel like the best years of my life are long gone, and the mere i…

Indeed. There is only so much that can be done when it comes to dealing with anger through talking. I would love to meet a therapist with a punching bag in his office! Help us to work through our anger and disappointments safely, instead of having to bottle it up and hide it! That shit will out at some point! Shouldn't we be able to do it constructively and safely?!

Only a day or two ago in the UK, a man was stabbed to death by a gang of youths because he confronted them about their behaviour. It literally only takes seconds to be killed, even in the absence of guns. The world is not safe for women, but nor is it safe for men either. The myopia that is perpetuated by the RadFems is divisive and disingenuous at best. But instead of working together to make the world safer, they would rather play gender politics and score points. I despair.

Whilst I would never say 'I know how you feel' - because I don't - I can certainly relate. I'm currently under the 'care' of what could be considered an emergency mental health team, who have done precisely nothing to help me in over 6 weeks. I wish I could say something that would make you feel better. I wish I could kick down your doctors door and scream at them to take them seriously and show some compassion. I wish I could wave that magic wand and make it all go away for you! Sadly, all I ca…

May I tentatively suggest that you read a little on cPTSD? The 'c' stands for 'complex' and is a trauma based problem that, more often than not, is based in childhood. It is distinct from PTSD. Although my childhood experiences involved abuse, it was not sexual. My heart goes out to you on that score. However, reading about cPTSD made so much sense to me in terms of symptoms and the effect it has had on my life - which has been frankly crippling, for 39 years. Labels 'can' sometimes be useful, i…

If MGTOW or Incel ideologies were to harm the rights of men, then those discussions would be allowed also. Right now, they aren't. Over here in the UK, specifically in Plymouth, we have just had our first 'mass shooting' event in over a decade. The perp is being called an Incel, and it seems justifiably so. Having Incel linked in any way to Mens Rights is ropey over here right now. The association, especially by the uninitiated, could damage the image of MRA's further, at least in the UK at the …

Agree, totally. I'm a British, White, Cis, Male. On paper, my life should have been the easiest in existence, according to some. The fact that my awful childhood has lead to 39 years of severe and crippling mental health struggles that I neither asked for nor deserved, recently diagnosed as untreated lifelong cPTSD, doesn't quite fit that narrative though does it?! I'm still ill, with no idea if I'll ever get the help I need, with no hope of ever having a 'meaningful' life. Of course if I were t…

My take is that if women decide that the draft is inhumane (now that they have to be included), they will lobby to end the draft altogether. Their lobby groups are FAR more powerful than anything that men have, so this is actually the best way to gain gender solidarity and have everyone push back against it with a united front.

Then put on the draft form that they consent to use contraceptives whilst drafted, and if they fall pregnant, they lose all perks and benefits? It's a draft, not an 18-30's holiday.

Women have far better pressure groups, ones that are actually taken seriously. If feminists finally have to face some REAL equality, and they don't like it, then perhaps they'll put their weight behind getting rid of the draft permanently. More converts to the cause! Edit - spelling

Precisely. The hypocrisy of 'male sexualisation good - female sexualisation bad' has been 'hiding in plain sight' for decades. However, pointing that out is usually met with accusations of 'fragile masculinity' as opposed to what it actually is: blatant hypocrisy.

Firstly, brilliant post! I couldn't agree more! Being a dual cat owner, from a family of historic dog owners, I'd like to add a few thoughts of my own. Be realistic as to how often you will want to walk a dog (and the space you have to do so). Some breeds need a lot of exercise and will end up being 'problem' pets if they don't get what they need.

The UK is in a real mess when it comes to gender rights equality. Search engines are one thing (you're not wrong, btw!) but our Govt is shockingly biased.

It's also worth noting that the crime of 'Rape', specifically, is a male-only charge in some parts of the world, thus it screw up the 'statistics' on gender balance of perps. From a UK 'Victim Support' website - " Both men and women can be raped but only men can commit rape. " The 'crime' of a female perp of 'Rape' is NOT a crime, because it doesn't exist on the statute books. Edit : You covered it! I have just woken up and was skimming.

It's a hidden epidemic and one that, when seen, has become 'normalised'.

There is a fundamental lack of understanding as to the biased laws in certain countries. I post this only to educate, as I personally only realised this recently. In some countries, it's literally not on the statute books that a female can rape a male, regardless of age. 'Forced to Penetrate' is not classed as 'Rape', only 'Sexual Assault' etc. Therefore, if the word 'Rape' was used in such a headline, depending on jurisdiction, the news outlet could be at risk of legal action.
