Kanin (1994) is the one usually being referred to for that number, but there are a few others around there. Basically when the topic is studied you typically see results around 2, 10, 20 or 40% and the difference is mostly based on how we define a "false accusation".

I think that's the point. They took a survey, and different percentages of people considered different things to have crossed that line.
/r/MensRights26/07/26 01:39 PM

From what I can tell they did a survey with each of the scenarios included and asked if those situations constitute rape. The number is the percentage who responded that that scenario was rape.

The law doesn't create or mandate biology. Giving women roughly a hundred hours of extra PTO per year for being women is not equality barring something equivalent being given to men. If you're arguing that men should be given an extra hundred hours / year in bonus pay or something similar then fine, but I suspect that the same people supporting this would not think paying men extra for being men would be "equality".

Which is why there were two suspended sentences - age of consent in Louisiana is 17 so the third time should be legal. There are a lot of states where what she did (presuming age was the only issue) was not a crime at all.

Oh, if you're arguing the right alternative is that men should get an extra ~100 hours of pay paid into their 401(k), IRA, or similar per year sure. But even then, women get in some cases more than double as much PTO as men when they're young (seniority and higher positions tend to lead to more PTO so the effect of 12 extra days is largest when you're young) and in exchange men get maybe a slightly nicer retirement at the end if they live that long doesn't feel like equality.
/r/MensRights01/06/26 12:03 PM

You realize this would disincentivize hiring women right? Like, getting to retire slightly earlier isn't a cost the employer pays, while extra PTO is, especially when a lot of jobs only offer two weeks / year to begin with and this mandates more than that in extra bonus PTO for being a woman.
/r/MensRights01/06/26 11:38 AM

So this should be easy for you then, what scenarios should equality mean giving men explicit benefits above women in the workplace? What should employers be giving men that's equivalent to about a hundred hours of pay per year that women don't receive? Or would this justify explicitly paying women lower wages for the same position since they'd be receiving a bit over two weeks of extra PTO per year?
/r/MensRights01/06/26 11:24 AM

So, women deserve an extra 12 days of PTO per year for being women? And you consider this equality?

It focuses on what we must do to win, for the future, for politics, for women and children, but never what we have to do to help men for themselves. That's the only framing that's acceptable from a feminist perspective. From that perspective men don't need helping for themselves, they need to be channeled and controlled to benefit society and especially women and children.

I'd recommend dropping the charged language - framing it as hiding the dangers of mutilation is going to be a harder sell for the change. I'd recommend instead arguing that people researching medically unnecessary genital cutting or genital cutting as a cultural practice are likely to look at both the FGM and circumcision articles and a consistent visual language between the two would improve readability of both articles.

It's not uncommon for sexually abused kids to mimic what was done to them with younger children. The whole implication is that the father raped the son, and the son was imitating the behavior with his younger brother. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole point of that part of the accusation was to make the accusation against the father sound more believable. After all where else would a 7 year old even get the idea to try to do that?

It said there were rumors it was based on race, until someone pointed out only two of the victims were black. Only two were black, but none of the seven currently known victims were white. None of the victims being white is why they looked into the racial angle, since it's not like she didn't also have access to white babies.

She'd be labled a terf by modern feminists lol She literally was a 2nd wave trans-exclusionary radical feminist. Like one of the things that caused the third wave to exist was fighting over the role that racial issues, trans people and sex workers should play in the feminist movement. Surprised you didn't pick the quote where she likened trans people to Frankenstein's monster. Her teaching career was also cut short because of Title IX and her refusal to teach male students.

This still comes back to this notion that men are essentially inflicting these wounds on themselves when in reality society holds you to that standard. The single most classic example of malagency is blaming all the collective pressures and actions of society entirely on men and not at all on women. But then that's just the core idea of patriarchy, isn't it?
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates05/01/25 10:01 PM

Yeah, she did sign that petition to abolish the age of consent, right beside a few other major French philosophers of the time. Usually the feminist argument from the era against the age of consent was that the AoC is an artifact of patriarchy and once patriarchy is dismantled children would freely be able to consent to sex or not regardless of age with whatever partner or partners they might choose, because the patriarchal framework is what makes it harmful.

There used to be a browser add one that replaced references to men with Jews and women with Aryans where the whole point was to demonstrate how much a lot of feminist rhetoric resembles Nazi rhetoric. It got banned from the main ways you get add-ons for "promoting Nazism". Also during the grievance studies hoax, one of the papers that actually got published was an adaptation of a section of Mein Kampf adapted to be about gender rather than Jews.

Marketing bullshit mostly. Businesses make variations of existing products with gendered marketing and sell them at a markup, relying mostly on the targeted marketing. But two things worth pointing out: Sometimes the product is different, sometimes very different. For example shampoo gets used as an example of the pink tax but many/most shampoos targeting women contain extra ingredients that ones targeting men or with gender neutral marketing simply don't.

The reality is a variant of 1.

The original design had much more powerful states and a weaker federal government. For a citizen, the state government was the one that had the primary influence over your life while the federal was primarily handling interstate and international affairs. Federal power has crept up over time, and that creep accelerated after the civil war.

"Swing states" are just the biggest states that aren't safely and predictably red or blue. The GOP is terrified that Texas might become a swing state and if there were a chance of it happening California becoming a swing state would be an existential threat to the Democrats. At the same time, every time the popular vote and electoral college didn't align in recent memory the national popular vote margin was smaller than the margin in California.

Oh, I'm not arguing he shouldn't have been acquitted, I'm arguing that actually trying to pull "but look at what she was wearing" as a defense is bullshit and I get the protesters angry about that. Because it is bullshit.

That's kinda the problem and the reason most rape cases end in acquittal. In this case though I get all the pissed off ladies protesting.

I usually respond by asking if the pink tax is companies charging higher prices for the exact same product but marketed explicitly to women, why not just ignore the marketing hype and buy the men's version or one not marketed based on sex at all? They...don't like having to answer that one. Because often the women's version is different in a way that they want and that they're paying a premium for.

One of the old theories about trans people painted it as a hormonal issue in utero at a certain stage of fetal development. Essentially positing that if the fetus gets the "wrong" hormonal environment at that stage of development the brain essentially gets the wrong "blueprints" for what sort of body it goes in. One of the things that has been used as evidence of hormonal developmental theories is CAIS a disorder in which the body has dramatic (nearly total) insensitivity to testosterone. If you…

In fact, in the United Kingdom, one out of ten people do not believe that women can rape men (Smith, 2023). Legally, they can't unless they are trans. The definition of rape in the UK requires the perpetrator to penetrate the victim with their penis. Ways a woman can sexually assault man are classified under a different crime. The underlying logic of that is probably similar to Mary Koss and her views on male victims of women. https://soundcloud.com/889-wers/male-rape

What I don't understand is how most women seem to be incapable of understanding this kind of pain. How would they feel if they suddenly found out that the child they raised was never theirs? That their partner lied to them about their parentage? That's something they don't think about, because they'll never have to worry about it.

Once women are required to be in selective service, then you sue arguing the law violates equal protection by protecting women who can perform certain roles from being subjected to them in case of conscription. The military and Congress have at that point already agreed that women can perform those roles and that women can be conscripted so it's an easier fight than it would have been before. If that fails, you call for the next step in the legislation.

It's a combination of malagency (the presumption that men are more responsible for what happens than they actually are and women are less responsible for what happens than they actually are) combined with the "women are wonderful" effect.

Police too fearful to charge a "victim" with perjury. You'd need proof beyond a reasonable doubt of perjury for that to stick.

Often when it's not defined it's essentially used as a snarl word or as a substitute for "things I consider negative and associate with masculinity." Which is about as reasonable as taki…

Because that's about the same amount of extra compensation as an extra 36 days of PTO per year. Or do you believe women who work should be offered more compensation for that work on the basis of sex alone?

You realise that period pain is completely normal and many women experience debilitating pain, it is reasonable to give these women time off if they request it. Why shouldn't that fall under normal sick time policy, instead of also giving some employees an extra month off paid to use at their discretion on the basis of sex?

You only prescribe them to cis kids when they are hitting puberty early enough that their starting puberty is itself a medical disorder.

It's only been the case in KY for a few years.

It's notable that when that topic last went before SCOTUS it was denied a hearing because SCOTUS allegedly tries to stay out of the relationship between Congress and the military and also because Congress had a solution on the floor at the time.

ALL FDA approved birth control prescribed by a doctor for women including future methods and tubal ligation MUST be free. Close but not quite. At least one example of each category must be covered and must be free. Insurance can decide that they (for example) only want to cover one specific brand and formulation of the Pill and if that one is a bad fit for you that's your problem. Still way better than what is offered men, but not quite as broad as what you said.

For every category of women's contraceptive approved by the FDA at least one brand thereof must be covered without cost or copay but most insurance under the ACA. Tubal ligations are covered because surgical sterilization is an approved category of women's contraceptive by the FDA. Vasectomies are not required to be covered because they are not for women. I have always wondered why no one sued on this being obvious sex discrimination.

On the contrary, it actually makes old laws valid - laws that the 1973 decision overrode. Err, I think we got something twisted - I was saying RvW made many laws unenforceable. The recent decision repeals RvW and thus makes those laws enforceable again. Which means my state is now subject to an abortion ban that is older than the state is, and was voted into law by another state's legislature (I think we're unique in that one).

What’s stopping them from passing a Federal law legalising abortion? Not having a filibuster-proof majority, not being willing to destroy the filibuster, and not voting in lockstep to the same degree as Republicans.

Those "laws" were never laws. That's the problem. No, the laws rendered unenforceable by those court decisions were definitely laws. Including (as I mentioned) the now enforceable 19th century abortion ban that wasn't passed by my state's legislature at all (it's actually fifteen years older than the state itself). I take it you don't believe SCOTUS should have the power to invalidate law or policy on constitutional grounds?

They aren't interested in birth control. It's worth noting that in the opinion that overturned Roe v Wade that they outright called out several other decisions that were built on similar logic or literally built on Roe in a way that suggests that if someone were to bring a case before them on those topics that they'd overturn those decisions too. One of them is the one that prevents states from banning contraceptives. So really, they might just be looking down the line at what SCOTUS literally s…

Right, but it was a court decision that rendered a lot of old laws unenforceable and so was kind of a big deal. The argument they used also implies they'd be willing to return the power to restrict interracial marriage, gay marriage and gay sex back to the states if presented with a case. A consequence of this decision is my state is now subject to a 19th century abortion ban (only permitted in a good faith effort to save the mother's life) that wasn't even passed by my state's legislature.

You think Men's Movements are moving men to the right? I think it depends on which/where they make contact, and that a large-ish minority of men's groups either cleave too closely to traditionalism, or just adopt some other very right wing ideals. I also think it's a lot more obvious how the left wing parties are bad for men in western democracies, which makes it a ripe breeding ground to lure people rightward.

You figure out which partner is more masculine and thus the man in the relationship. And they are the only ones capable of violence. Being less facetious about it, training based on Duluth can't *say* "always blame the man", because that would be blatantly discriminatory.

According to https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/research-publications/2017/20171114_Demographics.pdf the gender gap is larger, but not 6 times larger. This is a men's rights issue more than it is a race issue. It is, but it's still both and noticeably so. It's not worth pretending otherwise. That just pisses off potential allies.

take any of things you mentioned and you will find you are far better if being a woman, rather a man irrespective of the race. Sure, but race plays into it too. Those things hit blacks harder than whites, men harder than women and those effects at least partly stack. So black men get double screwed, while white women are on the opposite end of the spectrum.

That's true. Rae in the UK requires the perpetrator to penetrate the victim with his penis. A woman forcing a man to have sex is still illegal, and is the same "level" of crime, but is called something else so it doesn't "count" as rape.

Right, but there's a big difference between "try to pay way out of military and get put to death and property transferred to rando" and "agree to pay way out of military by hiring someone to take your spot, refuse to actually pay for service, be put to death and your property used as payment for the mercenary you tried to cheat". The OP treats it as the former, I read it as the latter. Those are not remotely the same thing.

Like many old codes, male disposability is rife with this one. In Code 26, it says this, "If a chieftain or a man (common soldier), who has been ordered to go upon the king's highway for war does not go, but hires a mercenary, if he withholds the compensation, then shall this officer or man be put to death, and he who represented him shall take possession of his house."

That is literally what is wrong with it. There should be some kind of auditing done on how child support is spent, to ensure it's being used on the kid.

There's a real chance that, left completely uncontrolled, there will be a comparatively rapid drop in the number of jobs that exist which will naturally follow by a drop in wages, because tons of unemp…

Because "FGM is worse and done to control women's sexuality" which somehow justifies it. Rather ironically, routine circumcision in the US began for exactly that reason -- Dr Kellogg (yes, as in the cereal company) promoted circumcision and a special diet to prevent masturbation. It's not exactly effective, but still kind of became a thing.

Those are all potential consequences.

Of course it's the domain of the police and criminal courts. The college system doesn't preclude actual law enforcement.

For example, the suffragists had a point and weren't as terrible about it as the suffragettes. The whole women requiring a male cosigner for loans thing was bullshit, but only because women couldn't be held responsible for their debts (both needed to, and have, changed -- one of the rare cases where feminism has led to women potentially having more responsibility). There are plenty of fe…

Goals are goals, and intellect is intellect, and Anita is outclassed mentally by pretty much anyone with a brain in their head, as seen by the mass of videos and responses that show how stupid she is. The real question is if she's as dumb as she seems, or if she's cleverly feigning it for the strong negative reaction and "I'm not sexist, #Equality" bucks it gets her?

The argument they'll make though is that it is exactly the point. The cover they are all whining about features batgirl submissively crying in fear. No defiance. No grim resignation. Nothing that elevates that fear response to an even theoretically positive quality. A good refutation would involve a hero in the same state (like the Spider-Man cover with him in exactly the same pose they found problematic for spider woman). This is a poor refutation because it fails to hit the elements they found…

it seems males can only have their profile on there by voluntarily making one, and can immediately remove it at any time, no questions asked. That wasn't the case when it launched. They changed it in response to some serious negative feedback which happened after what was essentially a gender-swapped version of the concept launched and got a lot of hate from the feminist crowd.

Oh, the "reasons" are simple. First off, she has the option to go to the uni, the police, or both. The reason "involve the police" isn't the answer in cases like this is because the police are beholden to criminal law, and would have to investigate, gather enough evidence that a prosecutor thinks he has a good shot, and then try the guy against a standard of needing to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in which he has a bunch of silly rights of the accused.

There may or may not be. When you start controlling for all the factors you can actually control for (including field, industry, overtime, etc) with the sorts of data available, you end up with a small (usually around 7%) unaccounted for gap, but also several known influencing factors that we simply don't collect the right kinds of data to be able to control for. IOW, if there is a wage gap, it is likely under 7%, but how much under 7% is something we can't know with the data available.

I feel like there's a right answer here: If you are ever in a situation where those rules apply and you as a man is the "victim" and your partner as a woman is the "abuser" then file a complaint.

If pain is the issue the ACA likely covers midol and other pain releivers. Doesn't work in those cases, or at least not remotely as well.
