Exactly. I think Al Frankin made a big mistake in stepping down. But at the time the DNC had the misguided idea that if they behaved morally, it would make the RNC supporters rethink supporting Trump. That obviously did not work. As for why people step down from accusations alone, it's because the accusation still hurts their chance of winning. If there's enough credibility behind it, it's taken seriously and will hurt them. If it's an obvious crazy person who's never met them it will be ignored…

We need way more info. Does he work? Does he support himself? Is his girlfriend and the rest of his social group age appropriate? I still have some hobbies I had as a teenager like video games and photography and I have friends who are super into building legos. Traditionally masculine traits aren't really needed for friendships. It's more about if you get along well or not. Do you enjoy spending time around him?

Oh man, years ago I was working in an office with a boss who was really cool. The two of us were in a small conference room on a group call and I was super tired that day. She was sitting across from me and I kind of zoned out while people on the other end talked about stuff that didn't impact our team. When I snapped back to reality I realized that my eyes had been towards her chest for probably a good solid minute or more. I kind of startled and looked up only to lock eyes with her. I then did…

You should be fine then. Most of the issues my friend has had to deal with were guys who went so far beyond what was normal it was impossible to ignore. Even then unless it's completely egregious and they're making threats, stalking or being blatantly sexual, they usually get a warning to knock it off. For the vast majority of people at the gym, they're just there to workout. People today tend to be non-confrontational so even if you do find yourself accidentally staring in the direction of some…

I've never had issues as a guy going to a mixed gym. But I also keep my headphones on and focus on my workouts. Yeah, there's attractive women around, and yes a lot of them are wearing skin tight workout gear but I treat them like the sun. It's ok if your eyes pass over them, but starting is where you end up getting hurt. One of my best friends is a personal trainer and he's seen pretty much everything. A lot of the time when guys get in trouble it's not just a crazy woman over reacting. It's a …

I think things are improving somewhat. I'm an older millennial and when I was growing up if a guy had an issue, no he didn't, shut the fuck up, feelings are gay so you need to man up, pull the sand out of your vagina and deal with it like a real man, through self harm, anxiety and substance abuse. Today people are at least willing to acknowledge that men have feelings and that some of the time those feelings are valid. Granted, they're often still downplayed but compared to how it used to be it'…

I think some can't take rejection in the same way that some guys can't take rejection. But I think the larger frequency of bad reactions is more due to not having to deal with rejection as much as most guys do and the assumption that it's going to be a yes because of the idea that guys want sex all the time. Not to say that women don't get rejected, everyone does sometimes. Maybe this is just me being a millennial but rejection was pretty normalized for guys when I was in my teens and 20s. It wa…

I meant more with a random bar pickup type of way for rejection angry hostile reaction. Like being rejected for a date or a one night stand. But I've also experienced girlfriends being unhappy about being turned down. Which is frustrating because they know me, they know I normally am up for sex with them the vast majority of the time, but for whatever reason I don't want it at that specific time. But a with a lot of women that was be taken as I'm suddenly not attracted to them. Which wasn't at a…

That's true, but it's also wrong that they do that. Consent needs to go both ways regardless of gender. Women are often raised with the idea that every man wants sex all the time no matter what with every woman they see. They're told they constantly have to be on guard because men will say or do anything to get sex. That they have to watch out for signs of cheating because men want sex so badly that they won't stay faithful if it's offered. I know guys can react negatively to being rejected and …

I read newspapers from exactly 100 years ago for fun. None of this is new. 100 years ago there were articles about how men used to be real men who could withstand more hardships. They'd grown soft with modern conveniences like automobiles, telephones and city living. Keep in mind, life 100 years ago was substantially harder than we have it now. We'd made strives in medicine, but the spanish flu killed millions around the world less than a decade prior. We were still several decades off from havi…

I don't see it as an automatically bad thing, but I do have concerns about it. I can see it being incredibly beneficial if used almost like training wheels. Say someone has pretty much no experience dating women. I can see AI being a good tool to use to build up that social intelligence and figure out how to talk to women in a way that both people enjoy. It would be way better to hear from AI that most women don't like it if you ask about their labia shape on a first date, or if you tell them yo…

It depends, but generally I don't respond because it's like arguing with a racist. You're not going to change their mind. You're only going to get drawn into an argument based on emotion and stereotypes. That said, I've had some friends say bad things about men to me and responded with "Well, as a man, that's pretty hurtful you feel that way. I didn't think I'd ever given you reason to think I would do that." Then they backtrack and say they didn't mean me, but men in general. It has that same f…

It was one of my dad's friends I worked for after high school so we didn't talk a ton about sex. But he said that once in a while he'd end up with a woman he met at a bar, and if he really wanted to he could always pay for it. But he liked his stuff the way it was. He had a cool house, a bunch of motorcycles and ATVs, a huge TV, lots of guns and after he retired he'd go on long motorcycle trips with his buddies. We talked about relationships a bit because I was rarely single for long and would b…

I've known guys who did it before the term was ever a thing and they were very happy with life. They didn't hate women and had big social circles with lots of friends. But at some point they decided that they did not want the compromise and sacrifice that a long-term relationship would require.

I tend to just treat women and men the same. I'm friendly and outgoing with both and if that's reciprocated, which it is for most people, great. If they turn out to be an asshole I might give them another chance because everyone has a bad day now and then but if that's just their personality then I do my best to limit my interactions with them.

Eh.... society is still pretty hypocritical about that. People will say it's her body and she can choose what to do with it. Then if someone asks if their daughter should start one at 18 they'll say fuck no, they didn't raise her to be a (insert sexual slur here). That said, if she moves states she might be able to work as a cop again. Or if nothing else, Ice will take her because they're desperate.

It's so frustrating how much it actually works. Seriously, when I was single dating took work, not a ton, but I had think about what I said and how I acted, plus I put effort into how I both dressed and maintained my body. Married and unavailable saying whatever random thing pops into my head while wearing an old shirt that I bought 12 years ago? Women suddenly now love talking to me. It's far easier to tell someone to act like they don't care than to actually act like they don't care. It turns …

There's the issue. A lot of guys don't know their own worth, so they see a beautiful woman and think "She probably won't be into me. I mean, I'm on dating apps and women like her never match with me so odds are she wants nothing to do with mw. I don't want to go through an awkward encounter where I try to talk to her and she calls me a creep so I'll just keep walking."

It sounds like a bad game of teacher telephone. He keeps writing notes even though she asked him to stop it. Other kids tease him and say he wants to see her naked. The teacher hears part of the story, probably the notes and naked parts. The principal hears an abbreviated version from the teacher that the kid keeps passing notes asking to see her naked. Principals says that's sexual harassment and the kid is like "Why would I want to see her naked?"

Thankfully, It seems like it's way less prevalent today than it used to be. As an older millennial, it was such a trope for the male lead to get slapped for all sorts of things. Often as a punchline when he accidently did something to make a woman believe he was being offensive or inappropriate and would be assaulted for it. While it may still show up sometimes, it was a full on trope back then.

I think it's because there's a feeling in society that men have the power and because men have the power their problems aren't as important. Like in sports if a team is winning by a huge margin and they complain about a bad call, there's a feeling of "oh boo hoo, deal with it, who cares if they got that one wrong, you're still winning by a lot." However, it's not really men as a group that have the power, it's specific powerful men. Jeff Bezos being a billionaire with the ear of world leaders do…

I don't think it's really even that socially acceptable anymore. However, like a lot of things, shitty people are going to be shitty. By the early 2000s it wasn't socially acceptable to mock gay people, but a lot of "edgy" movies and TV shows still did. Certain slurs got tossed out a lot when people got angry. However, it was kind of understood that it wasn't cool anymore. Saying that at work in front of a customer would get most people in trouble because most people were starting to understand …

The woman claimed she suffered greatly when the man broke his promise to her and dumped her. She claimed her pain and suffering was worth thousands of dollars. Except when it went to trial it turned out that she'd done the same thing multiple times before. The judge commented about how often her feelings seemed to hurt by …

This is what's called rage bait. I live in a city with good public transit in the US. There's no push for otherwise healthy women to get a seat ahead of anyone else. If they're pregnant? sure. If they're elderly? Yes, same with elderly men. If they have a cast or crutches? Yeah, but it's the same with guys.

There's ways to talk to your partner about stuff like that that can be helpful and ways that are extremely hurtful. You see the same thing with wives talking about how their husbands let themselves go. Except men traditionally haven't had the same type of body shaming around weight so it's a bit easier to talk to us about it. Getting us to do something about it... eh... that seems a bit harder. No matter what though, it's a path with many landmines that you can step on without meaning to. If she…

Over a century ago there was a big moral crusade in America and part of that was trying to get people to stop masterbating. You know Corn Flakes?

That's fine, you should be with someone who's view on sex and it's importance in relationship matches up with your own. I'd only have an issue with it if you were out sleeping with half the town then demanding that any partner of your's be a virgin. For me, I don't care as long as it's not bringing any lingering medical issues into the relationship. I slept around a lot, I had a great time doing it and I was careful to use protection.

I haven't dated for a while, but my experience in Seattle was often women would offer to split it and I'd say they can pay for the next date. That worked out well for everyone I felt. If they didn't at least offer I wouldn't say I'd disqualify them from dating, but it would be a small red flag. If they insisted on splitting or paying for the whole thing, which would occasionally happen, I'd think of it positively.

They'll try anything but lowering the cost of housing and providing free or low cost child care. If you make it so people can support a family on a single income again, or not have to devote 80% of the second income to child care alone then people will start having more kids. Right now it's hard enough for many people to support themselves, let alone someone they have to take care of for the next 18+ years.

My personal experience is pretty similar. About half the women I've turned down over the years take it ok. However, it also depends on the reasoning.

It's not even real intimacy, they're selling the illusion of intimacy.

It's not just boys. Consequences no longer exist for a lot of students. Girls can say horrible offensive things and they also get a slap on the wrist at most.

Some people actually are reasonable and willing to listen. The issue is when you have people that decide because they support their cause, anyone supporting a cause other than what they do is the enemy. It happens a lot in life, not just with gender issues. It can be incredibly frustrating trying to talk to them because everything loops back to their issue and if you don't agree their stance is correct, then you're the bad guy in their eyes.

I think it's because the definition of sexual assault is all unwanted sexual contact. So getting an ass grabbed at a bar is sexual assault. The majority of guys are not sketchy and don't do stuff like that, however, in my experience, the minority that are do it so frequently with such disregard for their actions that I can see that nearly all women have experience that part being true. Like a lot of things, if we got rid of the shittiest 10% of people the world would be a much happier place.

You're worrying way more about this than you need to. You can take some pretty easy steps to make sure those thing don't happen. First, sexuality and sexualized content are private. There is no reason you should be talking about that with people or letting them see things you like. If someone is inferring that you like CP, maybe examine what they saw that leads them to that conclusion.

People are often tribal by nature. They feel that for one side to win the other has to lose.

I've run into the same issues, but I've found the best approach is to use examples that are relatable. Women experience sexism. You can ask if she's ever heard of a woman experiencing sexism at her job. Be empathetic, because again, gunshot wounds and knife wounds are both bad.

The really crazy part was when she confronted him about it and asked him if he was sterile. He said yes, but he'd never visited to a doctor to actually check.

I think it's both actually. There are more social services because people want to take advantage of desperate women in ways they don't desperate men. I feel like if male sexuality was as in demand as female sexuality is a lot of those guys would take the same deal of sexual exploitation in exchange for shelter and drugs. Men's societal value tends to be more in their labor, which realistically.... if you're dealing with addiction or mental health issues and you're living on the street, your valu…

That's most groups in the world. I think the main difference is that men don't really see ourselves as a group that often. While I know the men's rights subreddit might, I think the majority of men would classify themselves as apart of a different group first, frequently their occupation, but also race religion or political beliefs. So there isn't that shared culture of protecting our own. Whereas women are frequently grouped together as women in the workforce, women in higher ed, women in stem.…

I mean.... women did work back then too. They were more limited in the roles they could do, they might need their husbands permission, and they couldn't vote, but women's employment was absolutely a thing. At the time though it would have been a joke if she wanted to be a doctor or lawyer or something. She would have been allowed to be a maid, cook, nurse, nanny, store clerk, or depending on the era, typist. Rich people didn't work, but that's pretty much how it is today.

Exactly, how the child feels about being raped is immaterial to whether or not the predator raped them. They're a child, they legally cannot consent no matter how much they want to.

Sex is a compatibility thing, I don't care if a partner slept around because I did the same. I want to be with someone who's sexually experienced/open-minded and isn't going to be like "ewww" when I suggest stuff. That said, that's my preference. As long as you're not like "Sluts=bad person" nobody shou…

Plus there is a small but very visible minority of guys who treat asking a woman out like they're a pushy salesman who's owed something. Most guys take the no with grace and self-respect because for a lot of us, no is just part of asking women out the majority of the time. But women don't always know when they're talking to a normal guy or the kind of guy who might pose a threat so after a few bad experiences every guy gets treated like a threat. ​ "No." Come on, what do you mean no?

Mad Max Fury Road is the first one that comes to mind. I especially liked it because they didn't try to shoehorn in a cringy romance angle. They let a strong female protagonist be strong without her having to find her gentle soft side after falling in love with the male lead. I know Brie Larson gets a lot of hate, but I enjoyed Captain Marvel too. ​ I think a lot if it was spurred by the me too movement where studios assumed since there was a sudden groundswell of support for women's social just…

I've posted something similar here and on the old MGTOW subreddit before, but hating women while claiming to go your own way is ridiculous to me. You can't go your own way when you're obsessed with a group of people so much that you feel the need to constantly talk about them. Going your own way is finding the understanding that you don't need a spouse or girlfriend to be happy. Rather than focusing on women, you focus on yourself and the people in your life that you care about. I've known guys …

It can be hard to leave regardless of gender, but men also have this societal shame of "Be a man, toughen up, she's a woman, it couldn't hurt that much, stop being a pussy." Combining that with the abuser telling them things like nobody will believe them or that it's their fault and they deserve to be abused can make it hard to find the will to leave. Especially if the abuser threatens to make false accusations which will be believed.

It's more instructions like never having the door closed to a classroom if you're alone with a student. Never touch them and don't disclose personal information to them. Basically, avoid any situation where someone could say they saw something potentially inappropriate.

I think it's more that people are reporting it more often rather than going "Well... he probably enjoyed it, boys will be boys, and she's an attractive woman." Except now it gets to the courts and they say "Well... he probably enjoyed it, boys will be boys, and she's an attractive woman."

I personally think having to choose between a man or woman is counterproductive. They should choose the fittest person for the job. If that happens to be a man, cool, if it happens to be a woman also cool. As long as they can pass the same physical test based on the real-world requirements for the job their gender shouldn't matter. I know that means you're not going to have equal representation of women in the firehouse, but in my mind, there's a big difference between "Women shouldn't be fireme…

Eh... I think it's apples to oranges. I personally support women being able to fuck whoever they want without having a sexual double standard label used against them. Calling women names for sleeping around is like calling guys names for showing emotion, it's a stupid double standard rooted in a toxic tradition that never really existed. However, those are both societal problems that can be overcome by normalizing behavior and calling people out on butting in on things that don't concern them. T…

One of my best friends growing up was a bit of a crier. Not so much at movies or books, but he had a tendency to fall in love faster than the women he dated did which lead to a lot of heartaches. While I would never have told him not to cry I'm sure my 19-year-old self was less comforting than I could have been.

I saw a lot of good posts there and when I think of MGOTW I think of older guys I knew growing up who never married and didn't have kids but still lived fulfilling lives with big social groups and lots of fun hobbies. They didn't hate women at all and were friendly and welcoming to all their buddy's spouses if they came over for a BBQ or went along for a motorcycle ride. To me that's what MGTOW should be, living your life free of worry about finding a partner and just doing your own thing. Unfor…

I get the idea behind spousal support. In some situations where one person has given up their career to raise the kids and do all the household duties, it can be a vulnerable and precarious position to suddenly try to play catch up in a job market that they've been out of for years or even decades. That damned if you do damned if you don't situation could cause people to stay in toxic or abusive relationships because they had no way out.

Good advice if you're ever being arrested unfairly is "You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride." Meaning that if a cop wants to arrest you for something they shouldn't, there isn't a lot you can do about it without giving them something legitimate to arrest you for. So shut the fuck up. Be physically cooperative and hire an attorney to get the charges dropped. If you lie, get angry or resist that can lead to charges that will be used against you to force you into a plea agreement.

I doubt she thought much about how it would go. Some people out there have very poor impulse control and an upbringing that didn't discourage violence.

At the time I didn't feel sorry for her, because I was seeing it as her making an immature decision in order to please a god I didn't believe in.

Because if she was discovered she had been told that not only would she be abandoned by her friends and "punished" by her family but god himself would turn his back on her. So she got t…

I honestly feel bad for her because of how much her religion was at odds with what are normal desires for any 18-year-old.

Women can be really badass movie leads. Sigourney Weaver in the Aliens movies is one of the best examples to show that your character can be a woman, can be likable, but can also kick serious ass. I think a lot of the time movies with a female lead fail not because the lead actor is a woman, but because the script isn't there or it's a hodgepodge of studio notes and frustrated writers. It almost feels like the studio's research departments asked focus groups if they wanted to see more strong fem…

I always saw Affirmative Action as triage for systemic discrimination.

You're doing things the right way. You're never going to change someone's mind by yelling at them or cutting them out of your life. People only change their minds when they want to.

Attorneys can be very expensive. If one side has more money than the other it is not terribly difficult to stretch out court cases and bleed the other person dry.
