1	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women (2017) At that point, you're arguing that they should get paid at least as much as the women, based on economic value. So we agree entirely, I think. So the men should strike too, and if they're actually worth that much, they'll get paid more as well!	/r/MensRights	09/02/19 05:18 AM
2	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women (2017) Like I said: it's an economic question. Whatever should or should not be, we know that they get paid that 70-ish grand a year for the same reason that actors make millions or a janitor makes 18-30K--not because of their skill or how hard they work, but because they bring in profit either directly or indirectly.	/r/MensRights	09/02/19 04:29 AM
2	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women (2017) You should not be paid a salary while playing for an amateur national team. Why shouldn't they? If them not playing hurts profits more than paying them more...then by every rule of economics, they would naturally get paid more if the consequences of doing otherwise was a strike. Whatever you think of whether amateur sports should be paid or not, the bottom line doesn't lie. If they weren't worth the pay raise to keep, they wouldn't have gotten that raise.	/r/MensRights	09/02/19 03:50 AM
13	Gender pay gap in modelling sees men paid 75% less than women (2017) But that's fair; they went on strike, and got a pay raise because it turns out they're worth that much while still being profitable. Otherwise they wouldn't have gotten the raise. Whatever the reason for that value, I don't see a problem.	/r/MensRights	08/02/19 08:25 PM
1	Feminists rage against an ad that "shames women", immediately forgetting their responses to men critical of the Gillette ad, eg: "If you don't do those behaviors, then the ad isn't aimed at you" & "If you're upset by the ad, then you're part of the problem". Wouldn't that be possible as an average? It'd be a really high standard deviation, but still.	/r/MensRights	04/02/19 08:28 PM

6	Now that sex bots are a thing, apparently you’re deranged for buying one and it’s sexist now I think that's the reason they're disgusted--they see a dildo as an impersonal tool and a sex doll as an attempt at emulating a female. It's why most don't object to the aforementioned pocket pussy. From there, they assume that means that the men who use those dolls see the doll as ideal instead of a woman--and therefore that any woman they'd want would, in their mind, be like the doll. I think the truth is quite flipped: for any number of reasons, a man who uses a sex doll does so because it's …	/r/MensRights	02/02/19 03:41 AM
12	Now that sex bots are a thing, apparently you’re deranged for buying one and it’s sexist now I find it...somewhat interesting that most men would find a sex doll more palatable than something like a fleshlight, whereas women are the reverse and would find a male sex doll creepy as hell (for the most part). When I think about how I feel about the choice between a fleshlight and a sex doll, I find the idea of a fleshlight kind of unpleasant mostly because it seems a little...pointless. My hand can do just as good a job, thank you very much. A lot of the fun of sex is bodily contact, looki…	/r/MensRights	02/02/19 02:27 AM
5	The gender privilege myth It makes me feel lucky that my girlfriend and I are both more...nuanced in our views than most people seem to be. We both recognize that there are lots of shitty things women have to deal with due to gender roles...and that men deal with the inverse of many of those problems.

I would link to the petition but it doesn’t allow me to actually view the page without signing. the comparison of education with the crime of rape does not hold water in my opinion That's why I'm not comparing--at the end of the day, there isn't a good reason to dismiss education for weeks or months unless the student can't do it due to the circumstances.

They're thinking about it from the position of a rape victim--why should an innocent person be forced to relive intense trauma repeatedly just to see a little justice done? Without context, that's obviously kind of shitty. If we know somebody's been hurt that deeply, then why should we make them suffer more?

The trouble is that, as an educator, your job is to ensure your students can learn as effectively as possible. Since learning is a social activity, social factors can impact that learning. Let's say you're a high school principal, and a student comes to you about a sexual assault that happened on school grounds perpetrated by another student. Of course you call the police. A police investigation will happen. What do you do while that's going on, though? What if the two have classes together? Tha…	/r/MensRights	20/01/19 02:49 PM

1	A new study explores a strange paradox: In countries that empower women, they are less likely to choose math and science professions. Paradox because the truth contradicts feminist theory and the gender studies set is too arrogant to admit that they're wrong (again). Afraid not, my friend. It's a matter of the scientific method--we can demonstrate that not all differences are social, and we can demonstrate that not all differences are innate. The innate ones exist...but so do the social ones. The rub is trying to differentiate between them such as to avoid being unfair as a society to either men or women. Still, I don't think I'm going to convince you of that, today. Have a nice day!	/r/MensRights	30/12/18 08:48 PM

Paradox because the truth contradicts feminist theory and the gender studies set is too arrogant to admit that they're wrong (again). Dr. Baron-Cohen's work on the sexually-dimorphic aspects of human neurology demonstrates some developmental, structural, and other differences between the male and female brain. Most people don't argue against that--it's fact that men and women are physically and mentally different in some ways. However, that does not mean all differences are innate. We know that society can influence preferences. It's hard to determine which of those differences are innate, isn't it? We know some are due to Bar…	/r/MensRights	30/12/18 08:22 PM

What I'm saying is that when all things [in terms of empowerment] are equal men and women choose different paths. I think our point of disagreement is in what that fact means. You seem like you believe it implies men and women naturally gravitate to certain roles. For myself, I think that the data supports both that conclusion and the other one, so you can't use it to rule out either.

That data can be interpreted two ways--it can be used as evidence that women and men naturally prefer different things...or that society pushes men and women to do different things.

We need to take ownership of our expectations and our problems. It's easy to point out inequalities...but it's also ineffective. Arguably, the feminist movement has been an unrivaled success.

Arguably, feminism (at least, the feminism academics describe) doesn't care whether or not women and men naturally prefer different things. It's a moot point. The trouble comes in when one group wants to do one thing but society tells them not to. It's entirely possible women prefer childcare roles more often than men, for example.

Their duties include providing for, caring for, and adequately raising the child--they should not be allowed to escape those duties.

1	Showerthought: Feminists consider it cruel & abusive to force young girls that don't like dolls to play with dolls to become more feminine ... yet that's exactly what they want to do with young boys. Yeah, that sounds like abuse, since the child's actual desires aren't being weighed. Since I'm in education, I've done a little reading in this area--since insisting on your child's gender without their desire can be damaging to them, therapists suggest that the child is the guide in this area. For example, if a child strongly, insistently, and consistently identifies as the other gender, then it's something to maybe think about. Some children will want to conform to the gender norms of the othe…	/r/MensRights	14/12/18 02:46 PM

Remember, we live in a nation of over 300 million--you're going to have a pretty large number of those crazy outliers even though they make up a tiny portion of the actual population.

Keep in mind, most educated people in feminist circles don't actually believe men and women are paid differently for the same work in most fields.

Consent is the presence of an uncoerced yes. For our purposes, as long as we can be reasonably sure it's not a pressured yes, then it's consent. It's supposed to be enthusiastic because...yeah, duh.

I can understand being skeptical of much of feminist culture--that's reasonable. That user blows right past that into actively trying to make us look like we want to oppress women.

1	Why Can’t a Woman be More Like a Man? \| A large new peer-reviewed study confirms there are significant physical differences between male & female brains. So, I hate to say it, but /u/OnTheSlope is right on this one. Sexual dimorphism specifically exists when there is unequal selection for a trait among the sexes of a species. For example, we know men are larger on average. That's sexual dimorphism. In this case, most modern evolutionary biologists agree that it's because of a bit of an 'arms race' between males. The bigger male gets the woman, pretty much. That's the driver of sexual dimorphism in very nearly every species in which males are larg…	/r/MensRights	27/05/18 01:59 PM

Disclaimer: I'm going off into speculation now, so nothing I say has any weight beyond whatever grain of salt you want to toss at it. The primary difference between white matter and gray matter is that white matter is more long fiber neurons (think highways, not local streets). That's consistent with the findings that women have more connectivity in their default mode network (again highway analogy). The place where they tested white matter was in specific white matter ducts, so it's not that th…	/r/MensRights	25/05/18 02:09 AM

Having excessive white matter is known to correlate with more criminal behavior (IIRC), but I don't think that the dimorphic variance is quite to the same degree. More likely, whatever physiological conditions lead to greater risk of criminality just also lead to greater white matter in the brain.
