I'm not sure there's any way to go about this in a neutral manner. No matter how we collate the data or connect anecdotal events, we're going to be considered "overgeneralizing." This argument has been thrown out in /r/MR repeatedly: Don't do this! The radfems do it and we don't want to be like them! Unfortunately, that's not how it works. Every day more myths and stereotypes are promulgated about how men are abusive deadbeats with no interest in society at large--and their message is getting ou…

Explain to me why that graph had to be gynocentric?

I don't care about the coloration. I care that 10% of a prison population identifying as female is seen as some kind of horrible statistic. Why don't people care about the remaining 90% of the population who don't identify as female?

The accompanying "Prison population per capita" is a bit more telling--but yes, it is frustrating how gynocentric this particular graphic is.

That may be, but all that does is exacerbate the problem I am trying to highlight--that 8% of women being in prison is somehow some kind of fascist attribute while simultaneously ignoring the fact that the remaining 92% must be either male or transgendered?

Saw the blog as a whole posted in another thread. Is anyone else bothered by the fact that a 10%+ presence of women in prisons is given a red (and by association, bad) coloring? Why is this so focused on women in prison? Why is society only working to advocate against women in prison? Why aren't we working to keep everyone from being a criminal :( 10% of women in a prison. 1 in every 10 people in a prison is a woman. What an outrage! I guess people forget that the other 8 or 9 are men.

Lastly, even if you don't want to have sex, do it anyway! Not that I have any issues with sex-positive attitudes, but this woman pretty much just told men that they should have sex with their significant other just because she wants it. Can you imagine the chaos that would occur if a man demanded this of a woman. Good lord, I was just completely shocked by this attitude.

This is a troll article. The delineation of the issue as "open source" rather than "software engineering" makes it very clear. The author intentionally chose something that is perceived as being free, then demands that women be paid to support said free product. It's fairly obvious to me that this selection of terms was chosen for effect: "trolling MRAs."

To be fair, not all open source works is volunteer work. As an example: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is an open source operating system, but its a for-profit organization with paid employees, developers, and support staff. The true volunteer/community based edition of RHEL would be the Community Enterprise Operating System (CentOS). Your attitude is a common misconception of open source. There is "free and open source software (FOSS)" and then just "open source software." The main difference …

There was a lot of shaming and generalization in the article that I can certainly feel disdainful of. Why should I feel the need to compete with someone based on purposes of gender? Why does gender even come into the equation. Either I am a competitive member of the workforce, or I'm not. I do not inherently see a problem with more women in the workforce, as I doubt anyone with a rational sense of thought would. More women in the workforce is not some indicator that men are becoming lazier--it j…

In 1950, 5% of men at the prime working age were unemployed. As of last year, 20% were not working, the highest ever recorded. Blatantly ignoring a broken economy for their agenda. The out-of-wedlock birthrate is more than 40% in America. In 1960, only 11% of children in the U.S. lived apart from their fathers. In 2010, that share had risen to 27% Bastard children are only created by men? Sex is a one-person operation? Why are women absolved of responsibility in this statistic? According to Gall…

I admit my experience is anecdotal at best, but I am aware of plenty of women who have fathered children from multiple men as well as men who have fathered children with multiple women.

The men caught up in high (or low) profile infidelities are generally, absolutely not interested in making babies! Making babies takes them from the frying pan to the fire. It's the last thing they want. This enraged me. This is not even close to universal truth. There are women and men everywhere engaging in serial pregnancy. Unsafe sex with multiple parents happens ever goddamn day.

Why not? This is what goes down in my house. Not that hard. I get it, though. Some people just like to do it bareback. You're putting your own fate in your hands and that's your business. Some people are allergic to spermicides, others to latex. Some women don't like that they gain weight on some forms of birth control. That's fine, but it doesn't change the fact that you can't ignore the biological consequences of having sex. Sex is fun and interesting and healthy, but it also has a purpose--pr…

Not talking about forcing a woman to have a pregnancy, but that the final determination should not be unilateral and without some kind of discussion. Frankly, I don't think there is any way that this can ever be legislated--it should just be something that is discussed instead of done without consultation. And I would suggest that you not get into the "social consequences" of childbirth here. There are plenty of men who would have been more than happy to be involved in those post-partum stages t…

"I don't want to go through the pain of childbirth" is a pretty lame excuse to get an abortion. There are circumstances where an abortion due to potential pregnancy or birthing complications is completely reasonable--reproductive cancers, infections disease, etc--but "It hurts too much" does not qualify in my book. People need to be taught adequate pre-conception birth control instead of using abortion as birth control. And this coming from a self-labelled pro-choice advocate.

I'm not sure why you bring that up. I didn't say juries are stupid, I said that they are poisoned with a stereotype. It's one thing to have a rational intellectual response to a stimulus. You can look at a case and say "Oh, it's clear from this, that, or the other evidence that he is (not) guilty." On the other hand, people have a knee-jerk or emotional reaction that usually supercedes the logical and intellectual.

There are so many positives and negatives to prosecutorial discretion, and this certainly falls in the negative column.

You realize most dissent is born of anger. LGBT communities march for equal rights because they were angry they weren't treated as people.

It certainly is pointed language, isn't it. There is no neutral method of labeling a parent who chooses not to be engaged in child rearing--which is completely unsurprising. It's "fatherhood-shaming," to use feminist idioms.

Well, I think it can apply to any situation where one parent makes an agreement with the other parent to provide no current or future financial or emotional support.

As someone else somewhere in this thread mentioned, though, there is a culture of "'consent to sex' is 'consent to parent'" which is an outmoded way of wrangling in men. /grumble So whether or not our science-y interpretations are valid, there is still an attitude of "you took the risks of sex knowing that parenthood was a possibility." This is an attitude that would have to change in order to accommodate some of the things MRAs want with regards to parent abdication rights.

Which you are well within your right to do, but that isn't even on the same scale as legislating the behavior. When I said "intent," I meant it in the legal framing of intent.

I wasn't. All I was doing was stating that there has been a paradigm shift of how parents handle their post-graduate aged kids. I brought this up because Blaidd seemed to be making the assumption that anyone in their 20s living with their parents is somehow irresponsible. Most people aren't even out of college until 21 if they are great pupils, so its kind of an unreasonable expectation in an age dominated by post-secondary education.
/r/MensRights25/05/11 05:40 PM

Well, if that's your belief then we're at an impasse about how the law should be interpreted. Frankly, this is something that I believe is beyond legislating. Can you use it to profile someone considering the commission of a crime? Sure, but it should not be the sole incriminating charge.
/r/MensRights25/05/11 04:04 PM

Agreed, there has to be some kind of solution that can be made that can be legally binding. Right now, there's nothing stopping a man and a woman from making a voluntary agreement to abdicate parentage but there's nothing that gives it legal weight. A woman can still pursue child support and a man could be liable for back support. There ought to be a vehicle (besides written contracts) that can enable this.

The problem is that a "thug" is a subjective categorization. I'm with you here, we're on the same page, but you can't legislate who someone can or cannot be with. There are bad people out there, but if we go about restricting peoples' free will through legislating who they can choose to mate with, it's a slippery slope.

I am not sure what that has to do with the discussion at hand.

I am not arguing for a reduction in funding for athletics, but when you make athletics the sole focus of a student, something is lost in translation.

You assume the opposite gender is inherently more dangerous. That's not my assumption (but that's a nice ad hominem you got there). DV can occur hetero- or homosexually. In fact, it adds a whole level of complexity to keeping things gender neutral! What if you have a gender neutral facility and a man was raped or assaulted by his male partner? How do you solve that problem? A convergence of services irrespective of gender is not usually the best bet.

Your argument about off-campus housing is valid only because the gender proportion is rapidly shifting towards female dominance.

I am siding with no one and defending no one. As you'll see in my other posts on this subject, I believe all parties involve share reasonably equal blame.

Sure, the police were at fault for using poor judgment. They reasoned with subjectivity that the man was clearly the aggressor without investigating objectively. Can we ever know the officers' motives? No, but there was clearly external bias towards the man--no matter what its origin. Does that mean the woman is not at fault for escalating the issue? It certainly doesn't let the man off the hook, either. They both reacted poorly. My statement regarding blame rests not only on the shoulders of th…

Monogamy and polygamy are social moires impressed upon you by culture and society. YMMV based on locale, but this is generally the case. A gorilla or a cat isn't monogamous. It doesn't get knocked up by a male and then never get knocked up by anyone else ever again. The same can be said of women. How many women do you know that have borne children from more than one father?

I guess self-perception is the complicating factor here. You have to be able to identify your traits and behaviors ass "jerkish." If someone doesn't see womanizing as being such a trait, why would they think they are a jerk? I do agree, though. Most of this is just negative viewpoint bias.

I am of a similar opinion, but someone has to be the squeaky wheel. In rational argument, it may be better to do away with the ad hominem, but when it comes to issues like these, just look at historically how women's current rights were (appropriately) won. They were won by women who would not sit down and shut up, that would not try to accommodate or compromise. The same has to be done of the MRM.
