The "50% of marriages end in divorce" thing is mathematical bullshit taken from the ratio of the marriage rate to the divorce rate, nothing more. It's not representative of marriage in the US or anywhere else. It's quoted all over the place, but it's flat out wrong. More thorough studies place the rate at 40% tops, usually lower, and concentrated in certain individuals who get married many times over and less educated, economically disenfranchised areas. While you're on your high horse over ther…

Wow, I guess I've lost touch with high school over the years. Back in my day I was wildly unpopular despite being at the top of the class and most of the people in my grade would barely talk to me. I guess that was all the way back in 2011 though, so what do I know?

So she is against childbearing because she believes childbearing is meant to oppress and kill women, but c-sections, which can and do save lives (when medically necessary), are also evil because they involve dealing with the thing killing a woman WITHOUT actually killing her. Makes sense if you don't burden it with logic.

Someone has now been tagged subreddit-wide on that sub as "engage at own risk" for conflating rape and rape-culture (are they not supposed to be related?). Someone engaging in the type of posting, i.e. discussion, that is specifically meant to occur in that subreddit has been tagged as a "risk" to interact with. What?

It's hard to do without moderation. This is a forum with people of vastly different opinions, so if you wish to seek out posts that even others within this subreddit strongly disagree with, you'll find them. I'm not arguing in favor of more moderation here, just saying that there really isn't a way to fight back.

Haven't you heard? /r/MensRights has a case of summer. Symptoms include completely unrelated posts, baseless vitriol and a lack of posts with actual content. Hell, this is one of the most interesting posts I've seen in a week out of here, even if it isn't the most substantive.

Yes, but it's not a rights issue. It's not something to legislate. It's a public perception issue. It needs to become legal, but morally wrong.

disrespected, misrepresented, verbally abused, belittle and slandered protected by law Well, slander laws protect men against slander, no laws protect anyone against disrespect, misrepresentation is common within all groups, belittling anybody isn't illegal and verbal abuse is only illegal in the case of hate crimes. Would you like to make a case that "Everybody loves Raymond" should be considered a hate crime? Groups that aren't men are disrespected and misrepresented daily, including racial mi…

That's not a "right" though in the sense of a legal right. That's a shift in cultural perceptions. I get that it's kind of a "natural right" of sorts, but that wasn't what I thought you meant. Carry on.

Gawker's different though. The Huffington post gathers from various sources and allows independent bloggers an outlet as long as it gets through the editor. Showing interest in independent bloggers means those people get more attention and continue having their content accepted. Gawker works by posting controversial bullshit in a whole host of different focused interest groups in order to get everyone riled up to attract traffic. Their editor in chief has straight up admitted to this practice, s…

In situations where men want to stay and both parents wish to be involved, there's (usually) no push to punish either of them legally though. The assumption shouldn't be there that men want to flee, since many don't, but legal battles don't usually occur when everyone's on the same page. What "deprived" rights would men even wish to exercise if they're looking to stay with their partners and vice-versa? EDIT: That's not to say that men should be deprived of their rights, just that considering th…

Healthy pre-prepared food is more expensive than unhealthy pre-packaged food though. If you restrict the food to only that which doesn't require any effort beyond buying it, your healthy options drop considerably. Our meals in the apartment cost less than those boxes of lunchables or a full meal at mcdonalds, but they also take significantly longer to prepare. Holding all other things equal, you generally have more options at the less healthy end of the spectrum than the more healthy end. Even h…

On a societal level, we love the things that make us fat, but we don't exactly accept fat people. Especially among teens and dating-age adults, it's common to lump fat in with other undesirable traits to discredit someone or otherwise take them less seriously. Take actors as a good example. You definitely have fat actors, but if they are noticeably overweight, they are defined by their fat as much as any of their other traits. Additionally, our high obesity rates are heavily tied in with the eco…

I can't figure out whether we should be thrilled or depressed that Reddit's nothing like the real world. My first inclination would be to lean towards depressed, but at least when you mention men's issues here, somehow everyone who replies magically believes they exist. It's only to argue that they're already being handled, but still, recognition would be a huge step forward in the real world.

It's a thing, but it's not what I'd call widely accepted. Reddit (and to a greater degree Tumblr shudder) appear to have a much more "liberal", i.e. apolitical entitlement, slant to them when it comes to things like disliking fat people. Thus, while most people will say it's not a "good" thing to dislike or mock fat people, reddit makes it seem like more people have embraced "fat acceptance" than actually have. Not being fat is still much better than being even somewhat overweight.

I'm not sure how coming out in favor of "innocent until proven guilty" makes me a feminist here. You can't prove he raped her, therefore still innocent. At the same time, you can't prove that she is blatantly fabricating a report based on any news source besides the one linked. If you're accusing someone, anyone of doing something criminal, the burden of proof is on the accuser, not the accused. Moreover, the report says nowhere that the accuser said someone raped her. The OP says that and his i…

I wish we had more information as well and I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with you on the case, I'm just saying that without more information, it's hard for an outsider to get a real feel for what's going on. False rape claims should be dealt with, but without there being enough information to create an informed opinion on the matter, threads like this tend to bring out some of the real misogynists in this community since more of the moderates hold back opinions. I can understand you ha…

Okay, but until you provide everyone else with more evidence, you realize that you're in the same situation of needing to provide evidence before people back your claim, right? While in general, justice should assume innocence until proven guilty, in this case what you're accusing her of is knowingly filing a false report, so the burden is on you to provide sufficient evidence to support your claim. You admit yourself that the article doesn't give enough specifics for any outsider to come to a c…

Honestly, some parts of the bill were really nice/solved real problems. If it were revised to remove the parts that violated the right to a fair trial, it would have been a somewhat more respectable piece of legislation. Alas, it basically granted anyone accusing their SO of domestic violence a trial clearly weighted in their own favor and added a "no drop" clause so that the accuser didn't even need to show up in court to give testimony for the accused to be convicted.

The Violence Against Women Act. It was passed by congress despite containing at least half a dozen violations of constitutional rights including right to face your accuser, right to a fair and speedy trial, right to trial by jury, etc. because anyone opposing those clauses of the bill was branded as pro-violence-against-women. It did contain some good points, but it could still have had those without the elements that violated the basic principle of innocent-until-proven-guilty.

Obviously. You see, the patriarchy hurts both men and women, so if we can all just agree to pass VAWA, we'll be one step closer to solving cases like this! That's how it's supposed to work, right?

Quick bit of math since the results were particularly fun (read: obvious) Assuming your student population is sufficiently large to assume sampling with replacement is a valid model, the chance that there would be less than 7 males selected on the 18 member panel is less than 8%. I guess it would have been "too obvious" to bring it down to 4 males, which would have placed the chance at less than .8%... If you school is small enough that sampling with replacement is a more accurate model, this pr…

There's a difference between the figure as you have it stated and how it's usually presented. About as often as not, it's not presented in terms of "reported rapes", but "even after bringing a case to court, only 6% of rapists are convicted." It's not about disproof, as proof is impossible in scenarios such as this. It's about the idea that it's impossible to get a rape conviction. If it was such an impossible scenario, then more than 50% of cases wouldn't end in conviction. It's clearly possibl…

It's worth noting that like the US, I believe the UK uses an innocent until proven guilty system, meaning that those who were deemed not guilty are not necessarily innocent, but the I agree with the gist of the argument. Parading around the 2% figure and the "it's impossible to get a rape conviction" statement has to stop. I don't believe anybody is in favor of releasing rapists, but the idea that even when someone is found not guilty of rape they're really still guilty has to stop.

As it's not entirely clear where that information is from the link alone, it's page 34 of the first document on the page. Grab the PDF and perform a search for 51.8 and you'll find it easily. A bit higher than the 6% figure that gets floated around a lot...

I think the problem is, at present, there aren't enough beds. In a world where there were enough beds available and it would simply be about getting to the homeless shelter down the road to get a bed (even if that meant separating a 16 year old from his family, which still seems screwed up), that would be one thing. While I will agree with you that if there are beds available for men then having some single-sex homeless shelters makes sense. The core of my problem with your argument is that the …

I'm just enjoying that the counterpoint to feminist ideology is a meritocracy. They contrast the actions of Marissa Mayer with feminist ideology by pointing out that while the traditionally feminist action would have been to give more power to pregnant mothers, giving more freedom to both men and women has allowed her to succeed. It's as if both sexes want more control over their lives or something. Apparently establishing equitable policies in the workplace isn't the goal of feminism. Strange..…

I actually just hit this point a couple of days ago. Sitting in my fourth hour of class that day with multiple posts across multiple sites waiting for a reply, I just realized I was too tired. I will still fight the good fight when it needs to be fought, but for a couple days, stepping away is feeling great. There was another post like this a month or so ago that I overlooked, but it needs to be said more often. Getting burned out sucks.

The most ironic thing to me is that the college I attend is a tech school. We deal in grey areas all the time and the consensus in academic matters is that if you can make a valid argument, then it should be considered. Take that into the realm of social matters, however, and everyone closes up almost immediately.

I go to another college entirely, completely unaffiliated with Stanford and it showed up on my facebook wall in a post saying "Thank you for reminding us all that just because you go to a top school doesn't mean you're smart, Adam Johnson." I had to resist the urge to point out how easy it is to dismiss opposing viewpoints when you start by labeling your opponent an idiot before drafting a response that wouldn't get me too much shit.

I would make the same argument about feminism that you make the MRM. It's just really vague. Yes, most feminists believe in the concept of a patriarchy, but if you ask two different feminists about what the patriarchy entails, whether it is an entity or a classification, etc. you find strong disagreement. It's akin to asking all people who believe in the supernatural about the existence of the supernatural. If you ask a Muslim and a Shintoist about the supernatural, they'll both agree that it ex…

Within academic circles there is relatively little dissent, but most people who declare themselves to be feminists haven't read and kept up with feminist academic literature in the same way that most people in any group don't keep up with academic literature. To provide one example, I believe in evolution, but I haven't read origin of species or kept up with academic research journals on evolutionary biology. Additionally, "patriarchy" is one of the most nebulous concepts I've ever found. There …

It's a matter of dissent within a group. Multiple members of the same group, the same "ism" can hold directly contradictory beliefs because "ism" as a suffix doesn't mean monolithic, indivisible entite. Take a slightly better defined example: Existentialism. It's a class of belief systems, not a single system, yet it's an "ism". Having established that "ism" doesn't mean anything, look at other groups called forth by a common belief. I believe that men face disadvantages in addition to their adv…

I try to make a simple point that we shouldn't cast an entire, fragmented movement into the "fascist, hate-fueled movement" light and I get called a white knight. Why yes, I'm here from the internet to defend the feminist movement so I can sleep with it. The whole thing. You've found me out.

Well I've never seen Godwin's law in action, but I will concede the point that membership of an organization doing immoral things is not itself a moral act. You'll have to excuse me for now as it's ridiculously late now, but I'll find a previous post of mine providing my thoughts on this at some point today.

In addition to the above motives, feminists have been involved in important victories that allowed women to vote and brought down institutionalized discrimination. Much like the statement "all men are rapists" is false, the statement that feminism is an "unmerited fascist ideology based in hatred and resentment, with political goals centered on institutionalizing feminist power and dominion over others through changes in law and policy" is absurdly broad sweeping and serves only to alienate perf…

I already examined some of the sources for the original infographic in another thread, so I'll just copy the text from my other response here. I'll bite. The numbers and methods used to generate this graph are dishonest at best. For starters, the NDAA report on the prevalence of false rape claims is questionable.

First off, outlawing abortion is not a liberal cause. It is not tied to the notions of small government and fiscal conservatism, but that does not mean it's a liberal idea. It is merely a social policy rather than an economic platform and while the Republican party long stood for economically conservative policies, that does not make outlawing abortion legislation liberal, it makes it a separate part of the party's platform.

His comment supports a kyriarchy theory or the patriarchy theory as it is commonly described, but not necessarily a patriarchy. Those in power have, for a long time, been rich men. What his comment says is that rich men are the problems. A society in which the people who hold the highest positions in society control the society is a kyriarchy.

Both parties deserve respect and empathy, but there's no reason that we can't respect them both and still punish false accusations. What I'm saying is not "punish those who can't prove they were raped," but "punish those who we can prove were not raped." If we don't do so, there is literally no legal recourse against someone who attempts to ruin someone else's life.

You're assuming that every case that ends without conviction should be thought of as a false rape accusation, which is completely untrue. The penalty shouldn't exist just because you couldn't prove that a rapist is guilty, it should exist if you can prove that the accuser made the claim with full knowledge that it wasn't true.

I'm sure it's been said before, but I'm just confused by the logic here. If we penalize women for making false rape accusations, it shouldn't stop women from reporting sexual assault, it can and should stop women from making false rape accusations.

I completely believe that men should be able to react in self defense. I think we're actually on the same page for the most part. I just think that the discussion should revolve more around pointing out that an abuser's actions are wrong regardless of gender rather than "men should be able to hit women too", even if they arrive at the same conclusion. As far as what an individual should do if they are facing abuse or assault I think we're absolutely on the same side.

But at that point you're simply advocating violence. Within gender stereotypes, men are inherently more violent, especially when provoked. This means that any violent actions on the part of men can feed even more into a negative portrayal of the gender as a whole.

This. To me, this is equality. Not the right to hit women as often as men are hit now, but a mutual acknowledgement that abuse and assault are abuse and assault regardless of gender. I'm tired of seeing posts on MR about how "women can do this, so I demand that we do it too!" That's bullshit. Fundamental decency should be enough for us to treat each other equally. Punish and reward those who do the same thing equally and we'll be a long way towards equality.
