I saw it, and liked big parts of it, but the ending especially made it clear and explicit that men are the Bad Guys and women are the Good People. I think Ken is actually a pretty good portrayal of how men are told to act vs how men are rewarded for acting, vs how men want to act in a vacuum. In Barbieland originally, Ken is basically infantilized and stripped of most of his agency, and for the tiny bits of agency he does have, he's strictly relegated to a subservient, if not explicitly dehumani…

I will say that abortion is a medical procedure which is conducted safely in many parts of the world, and complications when done properly are rare, so she does have a point. However, discounting your medical opinion as a medical doctor just because you don't share a gender with the affected patients is also pretty small minded of her. I'm surprised that someone in the medical community would be against abortions wholesale for the safety of the mother though, what are the reasons?

So, first of all, thank you for coming in to hear other perspectives: more people with that kind of mindset make the world a better place. I'll have to speak in generalizations, and I'm happy to write a whole essay, but here goes a summary: 1) everything self reinforces. If as a kid you see a role model do it, you do it. Boys and girls 2) boys are seen as more capable of violence due to being associated with the men who they will take years to become. Violence is seen as coming from emotion, so …

IMO, they actually DID. They say in as many words "oh look, now they have power, and they immediately use it to abuse men because they can". ...and then it flew over everyone's heads, because they aren't used to that kind of message. They literally stack the supreme court (what? Commenting on current events? Never!), and then tell the men to just wait their turn at the end. Intentionally or not, they did show it

Their justification is "if you engage in body shaming, it's fair game to body shame you", and while I don't agree with that, I see their point. From their perspective, Tate engages in body shaming, so he's a fair target to be body shamed. They're wrong imo, and from what I've found in a quick search his is more "tough love + emphasize gender roles + justice for the short kings" body shaming, but still there's an angle. Generalizing a bit, if someone's using a tactic that's 'against the rules' an…

I mean, cool, but who decides where that line is drawn? Texas government officials got to decide that recently, and they decided that none of them, even in that .5% (assuming that's the correct number), get to go forward. A woman who has a husband and kids, who wants kids, is being forced to carry a dead-on-delivery fetus to term, prolonging her suffering, physical and mental, as well as the giving a baby an incredible short, painful, and confusing life.

I mean, they make a fair point, conceivably they fled just like Snowden. Then again, Christine Blasey Ford, someone else who levied accusations of sexual assault against a presidential administration, was horrifically persecuted, honestly for probably telling the truth and trying to do the right thing, and she actually had people hacking her shit and reporters staking out her address...

Look, I just really have to disagree with you there. If you want to swipe until you find someone, expect that a first date means they are only looking at you (and you only at them)... well in my experience you are likely to throw away a lot of chances to meet people who you could click with. A dating app profile is a resume, a first date is an interview, a second date is a far more exclusive interview, and past that you're probably getting to being hired, or at least looking closely at a job the…

Tbf, playing devil's advocate, talking to, not seeing. It's not abnormal to be talking to multiple people, and even go on first dates with multiple people concurrently. If it gets to second dates or gets serious though, you end all other threads. It's not rocket science, it's just the reality of dating apps.

Agree. Like if you have two equally qualified candidates, a man and a woman, send the woman: it'll be cheaper and you have more margin of error, which is everything in space. But if the man is better qualified, you'd rather pay the extra 10-15% resources to have the better one there

I totally agree. When men isn't clearly qualified with something that narrows the scope, or is qualified with something incredibly vague and subjective, it means all men. 'Some men' can still apply to any specific man that you choose, imo. Nobody is blaming ALL men. People can reasonably blame subgroups of men that profess violent or chauvinistic beliefs, and I do as well. Honestly, men have an in-group bias too, but we strive to recognize and mitigate it.

A part of me is so hypervigilant, and so used to women in my life not supporting me or seeing my point of view, that I think this has to be fake.

Well you can see evidence from both, and Johnny was pretty thoroughly vindicated in the trial, so he's had his day in court. I went ahead and read the article, and it looks like it's just abusive all around, with the husband being more of a victim. Since the system is set up to favor women, the slightest thing can tip the scales. It's all allegation right now, but it paints a picture.

I'm not automatically assuming the worst. I assumed nothing about the situation, then I saw evidence, then I searched around for the general consensus on the veracity of that evidence, and I made my judgement call. Automatically assuming the worst would be more like if someone said "Justin Roland groomed me" and then didn't elaborate or provide convincing evidence, and then I believed that he groomed and abused them. This isn't that. With regards to your cheating comment, I don't see how this is…

So someone who can pressure their victims not to pursue legal action should be considered totally innocent, regardless of the evidence? That is what you suggest by saying that "the only valid way to judge a person's actions is with a legal ruling". That's too much for me, here. I think accusations without evidence should absolutely stop, but I don't think a legal ruling is required to make a judgement call. If it's false and hurting his reputation, Justin can sue for defamation, and should be ab…

They did stay silent, for years. The cited incident happened 8 years ago, in 2015, and only came to light because he recently had several other grooming accusations and DV accusations levelled at him. And this person added their voice. It took ~2-3 years of being on a different continent from my assaulter for me to be able to talk about it in a healthy way.

I am trying to maintain a position of neutrality. As someone who has been sexually assaulted, not going to the police is NOT going to correlate with veracity. Frankly, if you're trying to bring false allegations, you might want to bring them to the police to go for maximum damage. Even without a power dynamic at play, getting the authorities involved in something sensitive, personal, and vulnerable is often a line people don't want to cross. I agree with most of the other stuff. The victim comin…

Hi, added witness testimony and some hard evidence. Go ahead and sit on it, I did. Cancel culture is rampant... but in this case it's just the consequences of his actions. I don't support people who groom minors. This is clearly grooming. It's not even clear that Justin understands what's problematic about grooming, which further cements it for me

This isn't a false accusation necessarily, the DA will drop cases wherever there isn't enough **evidence. Hollywood blacklisted him because of his admitted and proven behaviors, namely that he is attracted to minors, and has groomed and abused minors, with direct messages to prove it. These are thoroughly verified, and nobody disputes their veracity. It is likely that he had DV issues, but had good lawyers and nothing came of it. Good. The fact remains that he is a Grade A shitty person, and a p…

His response to the accusations did not indicate the level of maturity and composure one would expect of a justice. True or False, there are reasonable ways to respond, and he kind of lost his shit.

In terms of female victims of murder, in this discussion (on the men's rights sub) obviously there's no issue in that particular area. More generally though, violence against men and indeed the lives of men are consistently valued less than women, and speaking up about that is opposed by many people advocating women's rights, as if rights as a movement are a zero sum game.

Looks like that original person chose the wrong words to make the point, so I'll stop defending it. I was engaging in a fallacy anyway, so that's on me. The reason I was speaking up is that people try to use the disproportionate number of male perpetrators to discount all male victims, and that being wrong hasn't changed.

Okay, this is my back of the napkin understanding, and what I remember from statics. I haven't cited specific statistics here, but if my ballparks are off or characterizations wrong, correct me. Women are less likely to be arrested by police than men. When they are arrested, they are less likely to be convicted of a crime, but if someone dies, I would hope that this difference is small.

Strong female lead should mean: narratively strong, eg complex motivations, struggles against conflict, has meaningful interactions with foils and antagonists and ultimately (almost always) undergoes a change to indicate that they have grown in some way.

Given that the American legal system is slow and fraught with bureaucracy, red tape, and ways to delay proceedings, and that terminating a pregnancy is a time sensitive decision (where delaying it can all but force a party to change their decision), I can't see this ever happening.

Until you can safely separate them, which I don't know will ever be possible, a fetus in her womb is inseparably attached to her body and dependent upon her body. You cannot and should not compel her, against her will, to keep or terminate any pregnancy, regardless of if it is your child or not.

Yeah that's what I did. The text is all like "erhm, yes Social Justice adherence has clearly rotted this woman's mind, as you can see". Shitbags. Crazy doesn't have a political affiliation by default, it just latches on to whatever feeds it. Telling people they are victims to make their anger justified is a part of what causes this.

You're dead wrong if you think most people found it funny. A big point of it was that she was setting both of their lives on fire, and he had no good options. Be careful not to write your perceptions and experiences into everything you see and do.

She rants at Hulk, only for Hulk to shrug it off and show how she isn't in control of her powers.

If an 8 year old boy says that, you immediately take him out of the proximity of that female teacher, but if you investigate and NO ONE can corroborate the behavior she is accused of or the specific events recounted, then no, I don't think the teacher should be punished. The claim should be recorded in its entirety, but to the extent it can be, records should be sealed so that the teacher is not lit up by the community on the as-of-yet-unfounded accusation of heinous crimes.

You refuse to consider a perspective besides your own, or even that the truth could be somewhere in the middle.

Only if your brain is legit the size of a pea. People used to say "cis-het", but since sexuality and gender can tend to have overlap in modern culture, minority sexuality and gender identity groups tend to share support Networks and group up. The distinction of "cis" and "het" and "cis-het" or "not cis but get" was just a ton of divisions. Cis means you belong to the majority groups. Non cis means you don't. Rather than dividing stuffs they embrace the overlap and (generally) try to help and sup…

It's a clear majority, and more in some places, and ~visibily~ more in places where non-cis is discouraged and/or persecuted.

Anyone who has a gender identity besides man or woman, and anything (I think I'm getting this right) anyone who is LGBTQ+ would fall under the umbrella of not-cis. There are also plenty of non-cis people who act cis in public because it's easier, and there's less risk or being ostraci…

Clearly not, but calling women that's is actively hurting. I would love to be proven wrong, but the more likely scenario is women and people abusing their power taking this hashtag and saying "See?

That's fair, but I guess I'm failing to see what "BelieveAllThots" accomplishes besides 1) turn off people who are offended by that language from supporting men's rights and 2) give fuel to people who say that advocating men's rights means you just want to hate on women. Number 2 is what really concerns me, because casting a rights group as a hate group, and doing it successfully, is the worst thing that could happen. It is hard to reclaim a movement from that.

Bringing up men's issues when women's issues are being talked about is often deflection, and the converse is true as well. You can bring up both together to discuss them, but way too often it turns into tactical whataboutism to distract from the points at hand. To be clear, this is bad whenever the effect is to detract from the first discussion, regardless of intent. Those guys you know are probably being dicks.

It talks about men's rights, and is a safe place to discuss and express frustration at the valid struggles of men in today's society. Since (by demographic) a lot of the wealthy and the oppressors (now and throughout history) are/were men, a lot of naysayers think that the rights and hardships of half the world population should ignored. They also see "women's anti-rights" when they read "men's rights" because apparently human rights are a zero sum game.

I'm curious what the justification is currently? The most aggressive top posts are saying that "sometimes we need to be selfish and actually take care of ourselves" and "look at this post on another sub that casts "MRA's in a negative light".

The thing is, you can say that, but there's no way to really justify it. 100 years ago, yeah, maybe even 50 years ago, but today? I don't think it's fair to say that one is more or less than the other, because they are so vastly different. Even many people who transition, and have the unique experience of peeking at things from both sides, typically admit that it's worse than they thought it was.

I think feminist is such a misnomer. The idea was supposed to support equality, at a time when the spotlight was on rights women were lacking: fair. But now we live in 2019, and it's pretty clear everyone faces issues stemming from societal roles. If feminism means equal rights, okay sure, good. Weird name for equality, but okay. But if you are saying women's rights and roles in society alone deserve attention, you are wrong
