1	“If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best” Serious question: what is strong then? I'll grant you being unpleasant isn't it, but what is it exactly?	/r/PussyPassDenied	01/08/20 04:26 PM
1	Women can't be sexist The meaning of words [to regular people] are defined by their common usage, not by those in Academia. I don't disagree with you on this point (extra words added hopefully for precision). I'm only pointing out that Academia pretty vehemently disagrees with this, and often repurposes terms in its own context. I also disagree about factionalism in Academia on this term. When I was in school, every reference to racism/sexism that I came across involved institutional power as the primary definition, …	/r/MensRights	19/02/14 01:09 PM
1	Women can't be sexist From what point are you starting your definition? To my knowledge, academia has had the institutional views of -isms for several decades now.	/r/MensRights	19/02/14 01:38 AM
-1	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo Are you suggesting we shouldn't bother fixing unfair discrimination because of choice? I'm sorry, but I simply can't agree with that. The choices presented to people should all be judged fairly on their own merits. It shouldn't be an acceptable known condition that one option comes with unjust challenges.	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 02:56 PM
1	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo Starting with the agree to disagree point, I believe we already use government to shape markets. Not only do we mandate a number of fair practices with regard to hiring and safety, but government also polices infractors (rather than having all consumers choose to boycott a company who pollutes in the river). The question then becomes how do we want to shape the market. But... like I said... agree to disagree. Interestingly, I think the market would do well to decide what to do in your example.

-2	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo As one example, there's something that's referred to in the literature as "the motherhood penalty." In short, once a a woman has kids, she immediately faces discrimination that wasn't present before. On average mothers are rated as less invested in their jobs as well as less competent, even after controlling for all other factors. Shelley Correll has done a lot of work showing this effect, and it has a significant impact on why we see parity among young women and men but the gap still widens as …	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 07:17 AM
1	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo Not per se, no. You should, perhaps. But let's be clear, the positions that she is talking about are ones for which the participants are very well compensated for the loss of their free time. They make a willing choice to sacrifice free time for higher compensation. You might not make that choice, but plenty of us are happy to. True, and the discussion would be how/could/should we remove that option. No longer could you simply be willing to work X more hours than the other person to get the job.…	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 06:40 AM

She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo It sounds like your father was an exceptional man. That said, I still think we should work to make that situation more rare, rather than accepting it outright.	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 04:04 AM
1	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo But isn't the point of the article that we should try changing the structure of work instead of making everything individual choice-based like you suggest? I would think that would be good for men as well, since that would mean we get to spend more time with our families as well.	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 02:01 AM

2	Feminist has children, turns down top job because it "would have meant 60-plus hour workweeks." She then decides it is "industry's responsibility to change the definition of leadership jobs so that wo I have a question. If her suggestion is to cap work hours on top jobs, wouldn't that mean that men would also enjoy the cap, and thus more time with their partners and children? Regardless of her reasoning, shouldn't we support restructuring the workforce in a way that makes working to death NOT the expected option? I understand there are implementation challenges to be overcome on a case by case basis, but shouldn't we all agree that ideally we need a balance between work aspirations and family…	/r/MensRights	28/05/13 01:41 AM
23	A nice infograph showing how repressed men really are in society. I'm going to jump in and mention I'd be extremely cautious about describing the pay gap as a myth. The interesting part is that everything in the graphic is true. Men do pick riskier jobs, in higher paying fields, for longer, in less comfortable situations, etc. However, that doesn't disprove a wage gap. The reason why is that when we run statistics to calculate gaps between the sexes, we're not just comparing all male salaries versus all female salaries. Instead, we're using linear regression, …	/r/MensRights	05/06/12 03:57 PM
