I want to interject and tell you my experience with transgenderism, because I don't think it's all one way or the other. I think there definitely are people who are tortured by their being born one way and feeling like they should be another. I would say these people are more the ones who are "afflicted". Some people, using myself as an example, fall under a different category. I've recently started admitting to myself (25m for reference) that if I had had the option to convert to female before …

I'm all for LGBT people, and honestly would have converted to female if it was a thing when I was a preteen. With that qualification out of the way, the people who create their own genders and pronouns deserve to be laughed at. I doubt many of them have legitimate issues at all, and are just using society's newfound tolerance for special snowflakes to make themselves as special as possible. It's one thing to not fit in with society's norms. It's another thing to demand society learn about your u…

What this guy did wasn't right, but it's just as sick how many people are happy he took his own life. He should have been rehabilitated. Plenty of pedophiles exist who have never had an altercation. What's with the blood lust here? I get that the outrage for the treatment of the teen in question was justified, it's pretty fucked up. But some of you act like we should put all pedophiles in front of a firing squad. There's very little you can do in life that you can't redeem yourself for if you ar…

I hate how feminists like Sulkowicz have the ability to talk in such a way that intelligent people go "what the fuck is she on about?" but the average person just goes "yeah, my feels. Go feminism!" These people talk like college students who are trying to bullshit their way through a term paper. They appeal to emotion instead of coming up with rational arguments, and that WORKS on people. They use fallacies to create reasonable - sounding arguments, and only those who are experienced in critica…

Honestly, I'm okay with this. But I'm on the rehabilitation>punishment train, and most people don't seem to be. She made a mistake. Get her to realize it, and to feel bad about her decision. Show her why it was wrong. If you throw her in jail it won't change her for the better, you're just ignoring the problem by locking it out of sight.

Women can sit in the front or back. Men don't get a choice. That isn't equal. I agree with the sentiment, just thought I should point that out.

I remember reading that it was something like 2000 reported sexual assaults (gropings) a year in Tokyo. But while that sounds like a lot, keep in mind that hundreds of thousands of people take the trains every day. Your odds of getting groped are pretty damn small, when you look at it like that. Also, Japanese people tend to be really shy and polite, on average, so it's even dumber that the government is basically saying women need to be segregated from all men to protect them.

Women are trained to believe men want sex all the time, and we perpetuate it through action if not through words. A moderately attractive woman isn't unlikely to experience considerable hounding by sexually interested men. A lot of people who get what they want whenever they want it will act like a spoiled brat when they're denied. It can be a lack of empathy for the giver and/or an insecurity on their part.

I have a pretty high sex drive, so I don't think I've ever turned down sex in a relationship. I'm usually (read: always) the initiator, so if I've wanted less sex in the past I would just have to not initiate. I've had to turn down sex outside of a long term relationship before, and did feel pressured. In fact, I got kind of angry about it once when the woman pushed me for it, and she dropped the subject. But I can't speak to a background pressure existing behind a long term relationship.

I have known people who were Transgender who admitted to me that they didn't hate being their original gender, they just felt like their transition gender suited them better. It was more of a preference than a necessity for them, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. This narrative that all transgendered people are suffering from this innate anxiety and hate for their born gender is a lot like the narrative radfems throw out about how they are victimized. Sure, some people legitim…

People transition for a bunch of different reasons. I don't think that everyone who transitions does it because they were "born with a male/female brain and a female/male body", but I won't outright discount that some do. I do think that you are right in the sense that people feel their personality makes more sense for the opposite gender, whether it be because they like women's clothes, or men's clothes, or really anything that you would have to be a different gender to take advantage of.

I'm in the same position. I'm proud of my heritage, but I'm a big Scottish dude with broad shoulders. If I had known transitioning was something I could do back in my formative years, I would have. But I can't now, it would be obvious that I am not a woman.

I don't generally talk about this, partially because transgendered individuals and their supporters still experience a lot of discrimination, and partially because it's very personal. I grew up a boy who played with dolls, and jewelry. I enjoyed a lot of traditionally female things. I also loved a lot of traditionally male things, but that doesn't really highlight the point I'm getting to. I have had as many sexual experiences with boys as a child as I have with women as an adult. I have always …

I think your perspective is really important for this movement, along with the perspectives of other Trans people. Whether mtf or ftm, that individual gets to experience society's bias in a way that few others can. Cis individuals can empathize with the opposite gender's issues, but we can't really live them ourselves, whereas you can.

Technically, you're right. But if a woman changes her mind about her consent after the fact, there's probably nothing you can do to help yourself beyond having some pretty good evidence to the contrary. If you and a woman meet up for a study session, have sex, and she regrets it later, with no prior evidence of a consensual sexual relationship, you could face a rape charge based on her change of mind after the fact. It's a he said, she said case. You may not get convicted, but you will have your…

Okay, I'm not on board with these women, and generally disagree with rape hysteria. That said, if at least 80,000 people are either raped or experience a rape attempt in one year, in one country, that sounds kind of serious to me. Granted, not all of these reports are legitimate, but we simply don't know how many. We also don't know how many rapes are not reported. Any estimate is a guess. So basically, I'm fine with rape awareness campaigns. People need to feel like they can come forward about …

Well, if you really want to blow your mind, just realize that everyone is discriminated against daily. Women, men, any race. Doesn't matter. Women might get the better end of the stick legally, but they're still treated a certain way based on what's between their legs. We'll never escape discrimination completely, just gotta educate against it and keep it out of legal battles.

I think her intentions were good, but the gendered agenda of said intentions is a little infuriating. Encouraging girls to play with Lego is a good thing. Even "forcing" them to play with Lego, and to try things that are new to them in general, is probably good to develop potential interests that are outside the child's comfort zone. The same could be said of boys with traditionally female toys. I don't think the action of limiting the boys from using the sets in some way so that a) the girls ge…

I just want to throw out my thoughts on the subject. I think what she means when she's talking about his attitude is that, in her mind, she was just being clear about expectations and that he needed clear consent to put moves on.

Now, despite my being single and currently kind of desperate for a serious relationship, I still wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. She's either crazy or damaged, attempt…

Are you implying that because men aren't given the benefit of the doubt women shouldn't be given it either? Because, while that is a fight for equality, I think most people in this sub would agree that this kind of thinking isn't beneficial to either gender. I may have been a jumble of hormones at 13-17 but I was fit to consent. I made some stupid mistakes, as all young adults and teenagers do, but I would say I was fit to consent.

I think it's kind of hilarious that whenever we have cop threads the cops go on and on about how they aren't all bad, and that you should never be afraid of a cop, and they're just trying to make the world a better place. In reality, a cop will almost definitely never help you, and getting them involved in a situation is almost always a bad idea.

I've never really had any negative connotations attached to manscaping. It always just sounded like a more manly version of shaving to me. However, I can't believe Oxford dictionary is giving legitimacy to the word "manspreading". It would be the same as having a derogatory word for the way women comfortably cross their legs when they sit.

I have found, most of the time, when someone is complaining about white male privilege, they're just making excuses to make themselves feel better.

Particularly where romantic and sexual attraction are at play, I see women handle our emotions very poorly. If you're stoic for the entire relationship, cracking a tear can make her lose respect for you. Not rationally, but she may very well see you as less than you were subconsciously. I regularly make the mistake of treating a woman as a confidant when we become close. But I've found that to always be the point where she decided I was not man enough for her.

This is kind of funny, because I feel like lack of respect exists in the friend area too when these women are prone to this behaviour. Then again, I always feel like I'm just an option when there's nothing better to do, so maybe that's why.

I think this brings up an important point, that being men can't just come out with this request without it sounding like an accusation. "Just to be safe" works with an std panel, where you could potentially not be blaming them for anything that might come up. But with a paternity test, the only reason to really get one is to be sure your partner didn't cheat. Therefore, if you trusted her, you would never ask for one. Even if it's a just-in-case test, you are inherently showing your lack of trus…

This title is a little misleading. While I'm sure Pao did receive sexist and racist comments, this article focuses very little on them, and while the author seems to think that Pao's existing trial has a lot to do with the outrage (leaning more to a gendered filter for current events), I think it's fair to say that the catalysts are her decisions as ceo, and not her gender or race.

I think there should be evidence of coercion to make a crime rape. If she approached a student and told them she would fail them unless they slept with her, that's rape in my book. However, if she made advances without coercion, then that's consensual to me. Going off of my own mental maturity, I'd probably cut consensual sex with an adult off at 15 and under. When I was 15, I don't think I'd be comfortable saying I was mentally mature enough for sex. I wanted to have sex, but I probably wasn't …

It's comforting to see that a lot of us can rationally approach the situation. It's a good litmus test to make sure we are fighting for equality, and not superiority. Also, she wasn't convicted for whatever may have happened with the 8th grader, so it shouldn't count towards her sentence.

I'll take the decent jail time and not quibble over terms, personally. I don't care what wording they use as long as they are getting similar punishments to male perpetrators. That being said, I do think 22 years is ridiculous when the men were consenting. At 17, I was as capable of making decisions for myself as I am now. If they were 12 year Olds, it would be different. But unless she coerced them using her position as a teacher, I don't think she deserves 22 years. Nor would a man in her posi…

Unless they shoved the coke into his body, he had the choice to take it. He was manipulated, but this definition of rape is what most people on this sub argue against.

It's a really grey area to me. They coerced him into doing drugs and having sex with someone he didn't want to, that much is true.

People, on the whole, will tolerate it because it doesn't directly affect them. Any outbursts of protest will likely be shut down as men being inconsiderate and potentially oppressive.

I don't know the specifics of that case, but on the other side of the coin, do you expect every sexual interaction to involve enough official forms of identification to be 100% sure that both parties are of legal age?

In both arguments the "victim" is doing something they know could easily lead to an unfavorable outcome.

When I was studying in Uni, I took a class titled Gender Studies as well. They might as well have called in Women's Studies. Until I took that class, I sort of considered myself a feminist. Not hardcore or anything, but just in general worldview. But I almost failed that class because I tried to point out that all the issues women have, men have too. The prof just gave me terrible marks and said my remarks and sources were unfounded, despite having legitimate sources. For my final, we had to wri…

That's not completely fair, I know many more functional people who have been diagnosed as borderline than completely psychotic ones. I think I have yet to date a woman that I didn't at least suspect of being in the ballpark, minus the accountant I've seen recently. I usually see it manifest in depressive episodes, rather than manic ones. And these were rarely majorly disruptive to their daily lives or our relationship.

It's likely a mix of both those issues. The lack of permanent leadership is a big cause, but it's also likely that many feminists don't know how prevalent the sick behaviour can be, or don't think it's as big of a problem, for both us and their cause, as it is.

Ideally, I think the movement would be policed by it's members. But it's so large that it's easy to claim to be part of the movement, and perform actions in the name of the movement, while acting separately from or against the majority's viewpoint. Feminism's goals are so basic and ambiguous, that even a crazy person can use them to (attempt to) justify their actions. Since it's not a movement that requires official membership, it's extremely difficult to manage everyone using the label. The maj…

In my experience, the outright misogynists are a smaller part of the group. But they are some of the most vocal and charismatic, and when I was still a feminist, even I got caught up in the male-hate despite being a pretty rational person. Being a man myself, it led to a lot of self-loathing and second-guessing my motives and actions, as well as a disgust for my fellow men. I still get emotional pangs of the white-knight type, over innocuous things some men do around women. It's very easy to get…

This is a perfect explanation of how modern feminism works, and would likely help any open-minded person who slotted themselves in under the umbrella term see that feminism, as a whole, isn't a cohesive set of values you can rally behind anymore.

The big problem with rape cases is that they're so hard to prove beyond a doubt because it's so easy to fake evidence. Creating bruises is simple.

The problem is that the man was indicted with a murder charge for terminating the pregnancy, whereas if the pregnant woman gives consent, it is not murder.

I've known plenty of feminists who still make the argument that women do not have agency because the patriarchy brainwashes them. They just use it to explain why women aren't at fault, while praising the same women for their independence and strength whenever they do something that can be construed as positive. When women do something wrong, it's the patriarchy. When they do something right, it's thanks to feminism.

Not necessarily. Most people dont maintain perfect critical thought at all times. Arguments based on emotional responses are a large reason feminism is still so large.

Sorry, but Im curious as to how they're supposed to stop bullying? Very rarely did bullying ever happen in front of adults when I was in school. It would usually happen on the playground when no adults were in eyeshot or close by, or in the halls. Practically everyone had malicious intent towards at least one other person. How are the teachers supposed to manage that? The zero tolerance policies are bullshit, but how are they supposed to do away with bullying entirely? Im genuinely interested in…

I've used that argument before. The common response is that they believe in a different definition of patriarchy. This belief usually is summarized as majority male power in office (political and financial), as opposed to the belief that we all meet in back rooms and discuss how to oppress the opposite sex. It's a semantic argument that somewhat devolves into the true-feminist stance, where they simply say that they themselves are true feminists, while the ones who believe in a conspiracy of opp…

Sorry, but you're extremely biased if you actually believe that generalization applies to everyone. There are abuses, but it's not like every woman gets a grant just for being a woman, or that every female teacher discriminates. These problems exist, but you are over-generalizing by a large margin.

You raise points that I somewhat agree with, such as humanities teaching very little applicable skill.

Yeah, I just responded to someone else that some fields where you see this kind of bullying is in the more naturally competitive workplaces.

I think your conclusion is overly simplified. I know plenty of mature people who are simply oldfashioned, and therefore consider childish endeavors things that grown people should be done with. My grandpa is a perfect example of this. I dont know if he'd ever use the word manchild, but he certainly views my excessive computing and video gaming as traits I should have grown out of by now (Im 22). He definitely isnt lacking in maturity, just open mindedness.

I agree with most of what you said, I just want to add that ignoring people who consider your hobby a joke, and you by extension, is exactly what you should do. Not giving a shit, and not apologizing for it, will earn you more respect than getting offended or trying to reeducate the offender (unless you have an open minded audience, which most people throwing manchild around arent). This is especially true of women, as many people from r/seduction will attest.

Liberal agendas masquerade behind the flag of human rights. It takes some scrutiny to discern the understandable from the insane. Conservative agenda has a similar problem. It takes some scrutiny to discern when they arent opposing people's personal freedom. But since the most highly publicized opinions of the right wing are against personal freedom, it's much easier to demonize them.

Not to belittle your experience, but from the information we have here, this is not the same situation.

The woman in the story says that the sex happened and she was saying no in her head, but didn't say it to the guy. It's not made clear as to whether or not she was physically resisting.

Better question is how do you prove who escalated? Likely the woman's testimony will be taken as holy scripture in our current legal system, but ideally, how would you even know? Unless there are bruises, which can be faked, or witnesses, who can lie and misremember, how do we even really know what happened? And how do we judge, if there is insufficient evidence?

Or he could just be talking about how the red pill view brings our viewpoint of all women from seeing angels to realizing we're all just animals, capable of the same evil. Society has a reverance for the female gender. Taking the red pill, taking that illusion away, technically paints women in an unappealing light in comparison. Its just taking the blinders off.

It's not about whether they care. It's about value. You're getting caught up on how they would feel when they're dead. That isn't measuring the value, or total suffering. I'm arguing that suffering is a subtraction, and happiness is an addition to the overall value we're looking for. Even given your choice example of a soldier being shot in the head.

I think youre romanticizing what pickup is. It certainly depends who you are learning from, and whether youre learning inner game or outer game, but outer game can be pretty cold and manipulative, which is the whole point.

Just wait until you end up in a family dispute with a woman. Youll likely see just how broken our backs are.

Theyre arguing that your premise is silly, misinformed and unrealistic. And even if you die quickly, you still lose the rest of your life. Your spouse will likely mourne, and it will be difficult, but then they have the rest of their lives to have happy times as well. The dead person does not. You cant "get over" death. Eventually, a lot of the widowed spouses can learn to move on.

The problem i find with gender roles is that women are allowed to fit into either role and men will still tend to respect them. But a lot of women i have encountered personally, as well as women people whove written testimonies on here about, lose respect for men who try to leave their traditional role.

Not to discredit what you said, but you got the wrong impression from what I was saying completely. By "they", I mean the people who do this sort of thing. I realize most women do not do this.

In my experience, evolutionary psychology playing a large role, they aren't that far off.

You don't have to insult people who still believe in marriage as a commitment to a single person just because you disagree. If you don't want to get married, don't.

It's hard to say, really. There is a lot of data out there, like the author points out, about how marriage has it's benefits.

Take it in a different context. Do you think it is alright for people to record you having sex without your consent? It doesn't change that what she did was wrong, but I could understand being upset about it if she didn't consent to it.

I was speaking sarcastically from a radfem's probable "victim" position. I don't think people who can think rational thoughts will care that women can't pass a test that has no gender requirements. They just aren't physically capable. Just like the men who flunked out. It makes no sense whatsoever to make the test easier just to placate and generate an equal outcome, because the outcome won't be equal, the results will be diminished because the marines will be less capable overall.
