Absolutely women are the social majority. ​ Women have the majority of political power, as political power flows from the voters. They make up the majority of the population (due to living longer), the majority of eligible voters (due to felony disenfranchisement disproportionately affecting men, especially black men), and the majority of actual voters (those who vote in the actual elections). ​ There are also more and more powerful women's gender-based lobbying groups than there are men's (whic…

Ok, so there’s several things. 2 of the most important: ​ 1) Bring back recess legislatively. Hear me out on this - as recess has been cut back and cut back and cut back, boys scores have decreased, and behavioral problems have increased. Boys, especially little boys, need an outlet for their energy. if we don’t do it in recess, it’ll come out in the class room. 2) Bring back competition learning in schools.

They control it roughly as much as women control it in the interaction, given it's an autonomic response to sensation. You might as well say women are basically in control whether they have an orgasm in any consensual interaction, and that's not really 100% true in any meaningful sense. ​ In fact, orgasms are something that happen in response to sensation, they are not really "in control" of the person who has them, any more than they are "in control" of the other person stimulating that person …

And in a consensual interaction, men and women have roughly equal control about whether that interaction could lead to pregnancy, or alternate control, depending on position. ​ And if you don't understand how that could be, I'd suggest taking a peek at the kama sutra, or any porn video that involves multiple sex positions really.

> because in any sexual interaction, the man has 100% control about whether that interaction could potentially lead to a pregnancy. ​ This is actually completely untrue. Keep in mind that most likely over a million men in america, per year mind you, are raped by women. Erection, ejaculation, are both involuntary and based on stimulation that, during sex, is generally from outside the person's control. ​ You can't 'decide' to have an erection or 'decide' to have an ejaculation.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20 - but by the time that happens, it's already too late, and they're kicked out of power as a result by the other sexually active highly successful men and their (majority female) voting base. ​ And if they dodge it, well, they just go on assuming they were right anyway, and it will never touch them. ​ There's a severe anti-male bias amongst both men and women that must be combatted, but it's not easy because a lot of people just flat refuse to recognize it - even when show…

Nothing, because men do not have an in group bias based on gender like women do, and sexually active men tend to have an out-group bias (that is, they favor women over men). The accusation men will work in men’s interests as a group is based on projection, not facts.

I’m not sure about this case, but I’m reminded of Cyntoia Brown.

To do like you just did and completely leave out men raped by women by using dodgy definitions of rape to exclude the most common way men are raped? ​ no thanks.

>“Imagine if 61 out of 62 mass killings were done by women? Would that be seen as merely incidental and relegated to the margins of discourse?” Katz asks, “No. It would be the first thing people talked about.” Notably, we'd talk about it more... as how much these shooters were victimized by the system that they would go on to become mass shooters, and how their fathers/boyfriends/husbands/brothers were to blame for the fact that she took these actions.

I am a former hardcore feminist myself. I used to really believe it was the way towards true equality. ​ Then I was raped by a woman. Drugged and raped.

I dunno really. I know I’ve hit it four separate times (including one guy it happened twice) since I started counseling men who are victims of violence, and I’ve only counseled about 15 gay men.

It’s where a straight person of the opposite sex rapes you to show you how good it is to have sex with them if you’d just try it. so in the case of a gay man, it would be a straight woman raping you to make you straight. in the case of a lesbian woman, it would be a straight man raping her to make her straight. unsurprisingly, this doesn’t work in either case.

The only thing you can do is do your actual job the right way.

If they'd like to hear the perspective of a man who was raped by a woman who also happens to be a former police officer (albeit in the US) to help inform them, I'll be glad to setup a discord or something to talk to them about it.

Also true. But there's a very logical explanation. ​ Men's gender roles haven't actually decreased over time, as the feminist movement is not concerned with them. It's not that men just love engineering and computer programming exactly, they know it pays well, and society expects them to provide for their family. ​ So they give up their dreams to give their families happiness. Women do not suffer this gender role, and thus tend to choose careers that give them fulfillment.

Actually, notably, in antiquity most teachers were men. It wasn't until the late 1800s, when proto-feminism was starting to rise, that most teachers became women. ​ I hesitate to postulate cause and effect there, just a timing coincidence, but female teachers isn't a "patriarchal" thing in any way. The patriarchal system had it 100% opposite. It's really a very modern phenomenon in human history terms. ​ This is also true of things like child custody.

Of course. We don't necessarily argue extensively for LGBT issues in direct sense that often (although many of us argue in favor of those in other aspects), but many of the issues men face as a group are often faced by transmen (on account of being men) or even transwomen (on account of often being perceived as men), and thus those issues are often trans issues as well.

That's the goal! In truth, I've seen remarkable progress on this front - when I started arguing my point about 10 years ago, no one would believe me.

That's because they define out from being rape the most common way men are raped - by being made to penetrate women. They use definitions requiring the victim be the one penetrated, so in the case of penis in vagina rape (probably the most common kind for both genders), it's only counted as rape if the woman is the one that did not or could not consent.

Yea but made to penetrate isn‘t like rape because it’s (in most cases) not like you are physically forced to penetrate her.

Um, sexual abuse is hard (because it's not really a legal term we can measure). For men, rape is majority committed by women, sexual assault is also majority committed by women. Keep in mind though, the CDC doesn't classify men raped by women as raped, but "made to penetrate". I call it rape, and with that precept (that forced vaginal sex is rape even if you are the one made to penetrate), we can say men are much more likely to be raped by women than men.

For me personally it is the rape coverup. Listening to feminist rhetoric, you’d think only men do the raping. In point of fact, depending on which CDC report you go by, 1/3 to 1/2 of adult rape victims every year are men raped by women. As a man raped by a woman, the feminist rhetoric serves to protect my rapist from awareness and being taken seriously.

It was people in the feminist community who said it wasn't real rape and got it classified as "made to penetrate" instead. Mary Koss in particular, although there are a number of others, carries a large amount of blame in this regard for deliberately classifying it as "not rape" when a man is made to penetrate a woman, and getting the CDC to classify it as not rape when a man is forced to penetrate a woman. When I first started talking about my experiences, it was my feminist friends who attacke…

Here's one that might come to his attention - https://www.thenation.com/article/how-body-reacts-sexual-assault/ 21% of women who were raped reported physical sexual arousal from being raped. And the same can happen to men, and frequently does. Ask him if he thinks it's rape if the vagina becomes lubricated. Also, he needs to learn how erections work. Erections can occur for most strong emotions - including fear.

Equality is an absurd concept anyway. For example, try to find a feminist, or even an MRA, who thinks that equal incarceration is a good goal for society. Well it probably needs to be equal-er, if you will. Women are disproportionately favored by the justice system compared with men. There'd be a hell of a lot less men in prison if men were treated like women. I'm not a huge fan of forced equality of outcome, but there should be equality of opportunity in the system.

You would think that, but the FBI technical manual includes no reference to being made to penetrate as being indicative of that definition. https://ucr.fbi.gov/recent-program-updates/reporting-rape-in-2013-revised The majority of men who are raped are raped by women and raped by being forced to penetrate her.

I am absolutely willing to unify with feminists towards total gender equality, based on three conditions: 1) Admit men are raped at about the same rate as women, and that the majority of rapists of men are women. 2) Admit men and women both commit domestic violence against each other at similar rates, and that activism and funding on this front should equally service male and female victims. 3) Stop hating me on the basis of my gender.
