I agree with you that SJWism is a religious belief (it belongs to a new class of "secular religions", of which Randroid free-marketeerism or technology-worshipping Transhumanism are other examples), but just like with traditional religions people who are only into it a little bit are ripe candidates to abandon the faith in the face of reasonable arguments.

I really hope that this is just some kind of fad that will soon pass, or a result of a generational turnover in academia that has accidentally put some people with some weird ideas in charge. I am growing increasingly tinfoily about it given the fact that this stuff has been rolled out with what seems like a very sophisticated global media campaign with at SHITLOAD of money behind it. I am hearing gender and race and other identity politics issues being discussed EVERYWHERE, in places that never…

I would say that's a different thing. In the case of this hullabaloo over transgender people, that's your standard "I'm scared of things that are different and weird to me" behavior. The specific type of moral panic we're talking about requires this belief in there being some kind of shadowy, ritualistic, or conspiratorial element to what's being alleged. I think that people who believe in things like "the Gay Agenda" are approaching this sort of moral panic, since a lot of them have weird belie…

Rebecca Watson's claim to fame, where she essentially accused a man who hit on her in an elevator at a conference (and all male atheists by association) of being pervy creeps. It really blew up because according to Watson's own account: This man had been talking and drinking with her and a group of other conference goers until 4 a.m. at the hotel bar. The rapey, misogynist PUA garbage that Watson was subjected to apparently went down like this: "I find you very interesting. Would you like to com…

Increasingly, these plate-spinners are being paid to do so by Clinton's "hybrid superpac" Correct the Record. I am almost certain that a lot of these people, especially in this past week when the volume has been turned up substantially, are working at troll-for-hire firms in places like India and Bangladesh. Considering Sanders' dominance among young people it's no wonder they had to astroturf online messaging to such an absurd degree.

Tying men's issues to Trump would be a huge mistake, IMO. Everyone would close ranks against him and permanently solidify the "MRAs are immature violent right-wing sexists" smear in the minds of the public. We need to keep in mind that whoever ends up taking men's issues into the mainstream — and we almost certainly already know that person's name whoever it may be — will be introducing these issues to millions upon millions of uneducated and propaganda-addled regular people for the first time. …

The Clintons aren't dangerously close to becoming the most powerful political dynasty in American history for no reason.

She and her husband both operate according to this playbook. Did you really think it was Karl Rove who invented the idea of accusing your enemies of doing exactly what people most hate you for doing? This allows you to claim that anyone criticizing you for doing the thing in question is merely projecting, even though in reality the complete opposite is true. This is the inverse counterpart of a similar tactic, where you attack an opponent on their biggest strength, so that them touting their str…

This particular moral panic lasted a long time and happened in different times to different communities. It really began with the 1980 publication of Michelle Remembers, a now-discredited sensationalist book about "repressed memories" of Satanic ritual abuse. It's likely that the sudden popularity of the book can be partially be attributed to the great success 11 years earlier of Rosemary's Baby. It really picked up steam during the course of the highly sensationalized McMartin preschool investi…

I also want to note that Clinton's platform is pretty heavily rooted in identity politics themes. They are trying to present her as the "intersectional candidate" who will finally bring her donors the White Capitalist Patriarchy to heel.

Doesn't he know that her supporters are the ones who are screaming RAPE APOLOGIST in his face and calling him FUCKING CIS SCUM on Tumblr?

The real reason is due to the angle at which the femur meets the pelvis. This means that men have to actively press their legs together, eventually causing minor joint pain and muscle stress. Women, due to their differently-angled hips, can sit with their legs together with significantly less (if any) strain.

You should know that South Park's production schedule is only a week long, so they are able to respond to trends much faster than nearly any other scripted show. This is an especially amazing feat for an animated show, as animated shows usually spend months and months in post-production. There's an excellent documentary about this called 6 Days to Air, which chronicles the production of the HumancentiPad episode.

I'm also on the left and support abortion in virtually all cases, and can see why people oppose abortion. Feminists will swear up and down that pro-lifers oppose abortions as a way to oppress and control women (quelle surprise), but I tend to take pro-lifers at their word that they consider fertilized eggs/zygotes/fetuses to be human lives, so it naturally follows that terminating them amounts to murder.

While most of them were way too small to be called "significant," there was one difference that jumped out at me: when broken down by trimester, these data seem to show that women's opposition to abortion grows faster than men's as the hypothetical pregnancy gets longer.

Yes. His name was Andrés Escobar.

Lynching victims were overwhelmingly male, and the most common impetus for lynching was sexual contact (real or fabricated) with white women. As far as I can tell, this and many other ostensibly racial problems faced by black people ("driving while black," racial profiling, police brutality, mass incarceration, etc.) are impossible to separate from maleness.

A third of males (more than a billion) have mutilated genitals, while less than four percent of females (around 125 million) have mutilated genitals. The disproportionate response to this situation is, in my opinion, one of the most crystal-clear illustrations of gynocentrism and male disposability you could possibly name.

Yes, language does matter, which is why I used those exact words. The one third figure for males refers only to circumcision, and not to other forms of MGM such as castration or penile subincision. The 4% figure for females refers to all forms of FGM, not just the equivalent of male circumcision where only the clitoral hood is removed (what the WHO calls Type Ia).

25% of domestic violence arrests are female. My quick search didn't turn up conviction rates, but I am sure it's not quite as low as 1%. There's no need to exaggerate problems that are already really bad on their own.

Don't be so obtuse. I called it male genital mutilation in the first sentence. I specificied "circumcision" later because that is what the WHO was estimating; circumcision is only one form of MGM but it is by leaps and bounds the most common. I couldn't find numbers for other forms of MGM but I am sure they wouldn't change the overall numbers that much.

This sub only has so much anti-feminist stuff on it because feminism is the primary roadblock to achieving our goals, and is currently engaged in an aggressive attempt to destroy and discredit our movement. It's also by far the main source of misandry in our culture — the other main source being traditionalism, which is pretty much moribund at this point outside of relatively isolated circles — so there's always a fresh attack on men and boys to counter. It makes me a little sad to hear that the…

Which is why, even though it uses an image of a battered man, the message of the poster highlights female abusers. It does so in a more subtle way than you seem to be asking for, though. I agree with you that trying to evoke sympathy for men is an uphill battle in our culture, but I think a more direct attack on female abusers (say, with an image of an angry woman or something) would also be challenging, since women are a class that society isn't exactly conditioned to feel antipathy towards.

even though 99.9 percent of circumcised people in our countries are men? Not only that, but worldwide male genital mutilation is much more widespread. The WHO estimates that around a third of men and boys on Earth are circumcised, compared to around 4% of women and girls who are victims of FGM.

This isn't trawling for pity, it's trawling for acknowledgement. Do you have any idea how many people don't even consider that men can be abused, or that women can be abusers? It's a huge roadblock to getting male victims of domestic violence the help they need. You'll notice that, unlike feminist victimmongering DV campaigns, this poster doesn't insinuate that all men are victims-to-be or that all women are perpetrators-in-waiting.

Traditional gender roles have males as providers, not caregivers. Thus it flows pretty free to have men pay child support to women raising kids. Except that isn't true, at all.

You know full well that hour-to-hour and day-to-day fluctuations move around an average, and these numbers clearly refer to a trend in that average. Where I am, the temperature recently rose by more than 30°F in a 24 hour period. By your logic it would be no problem if the average temperature rose by 30°F year over year. This study uses a 3 lbs/yr definitio…

If you are underweight, gaining weight this quickly can be healthy, provided that you stop when you reach a healthy weight. This is also a typical weight gain for the last two trimesters of pregnancy. Otherwise, and especially if you are already overweight, if you are gaining 5 pounds a month, you are doing serious damage to your body. "Rapid weight gain" is typically defined as 3-5 pounds a year. This woman, who is on pace to gain 80 pounds in a single year, is on a collision course with becomi…

We can infer from this comment that she put on 20 pounds in four months, right? Gaining five pounds a month is seriously unhealthy. EDIT I thought a little illustration of what is going on with this woman was in order. Since we don't know what her height and original weight was, I have started with the assumption that she is of average height (5'5") and with the generous assumption that she was right in the middle of a healthy weight range for that height (130-140 lbs). Here's what she looked li…

APOSTATE How many people really watch it beyond the part where the Blues Brothers take off in the bluesmobile to Chicago after the 'dark sunglasses' line? Are you kidding?

This isn't really true.

After that, I did some research. Empirical data does not spell out a happy picture for men. Men's issues are really life threatening ordeals. It's common as hell to have men's lives destroyed due to their gender, I just don't personally see it because I'm well off. The studies like the ones in the sidebar and the ones I put into /r/mrref show a clear picture though.

Genetics certainly have some influence on a how a pregnant woman delivers hormones to a gestating fetus, but whatever effect this might have would be overwhelmed by non-genetic factors such as the mother's health and how many children of each gender she has had before.

Rape has absolutely fuck-all to do with the left-right spectrum, except as a function of rape-obsessed feminism being a movement that is part of, but not synonymous with, the left. Don't forget that feminists are a small minority. They are on a crusade to turn every rape claim into a rape fact, unless it's one of them that's accused. As I've established above, you are conflating feminism with liberalism. The victim's always right, unles…

I think in order for her to be a role model, people have to actually watch her show. It has some of the lowest ratings on HBO; its most recent season had only 4 million gross viewers.

You are severely minimizing what she did. She didn't just look at her sister's vagina, she stuffed it full of rocks. She also regularly bribed her sister with quarters and candy to kiss her on the lips and "relax on her," and masturbated next to her in the bed they shared until Lena was 17 years old. Dunham herself describes her behavior toward her sister as that of a sexual predator, and this is just what we know about -- who knows what else she isn't willing to brazenly admit to in a memoir.

It was a study conducted by Ragu (or maybe it was Prego) testing various spaghetti sauces, and the researchers were surprised to learn that nearly everyone preferred a "thick and chunky garden style" version of the sauce, since marinara sauce is traditionally very thin and watery.

The most effective way I have found to introduce men's rights to people is through the following argument: The feminist movement has made great strides in liberating women from their traditional gender role, but men are still relatively hamstrung by their gender role. It's not a good idea to start off by criticizing feminism directly — its sociopolitical narrative is so well-entrenched, even among people who don't call themselves feminists, that questioning feminism immediately raises people's l…

Men don't get to decide any of this, at any stage, so their desire to have a child of the same gender as them has no impact on anything. Also, men's desire for sons is generally not because of an aversion to daughters, but the inverse can't be said for women's desire for daughters. Men want sons to carry on the family name, to play catch with, to relate to, etc.; you're not going to see a lot of fathers preferring sons because they think daughters are dirty and misbehaved.

I think most people want everyone to be happy and content.

I don't think it's wrong by itself to have an individual preference, just that when preferences become too imbalanced overall it's indicative of a cultural problem.

An imbalance in favor of girls indicates that girls are more likely to be successful than boys. It's important to note also that the ability to choose the gender of a potential child is much e…

Women in the developed world, particularly white women, are easily the safest, most comfortable, most educated, etc. cross-class demographic in the history of the world. This is one reason why a lot of what feminism has to say about their supposed plight rings so false to most people.

Because the vast majority of women will not consider dating, much less marrying, men who earn less than them. There is some evidence that this is changing among the youngest cohort of women, but that's hard to separate from the large and growing gender gap in college education and unemployment. There is also a lot of evidence to suggest that women's preference for a partner that makes more is strongly influenced by innate biological factors that would be difficult to overcome.

Their desperation is really getting palpable now. It feels like the MRA perspective is gaining traction lately in the culture, and that is causing a thermonuclear meltdown among feminists who are terrified of losing their iron grip on the discourse.

Ayn Rand was a power-worshipping sociopath who thought that a person's worth was defined by their economic value and their capacity to exploit others. All of the heroes in her dense, rambling novels are psychopathic narcissists whose capacity for cruelty and lack of empathy for others are considered positive qualities. Her elitist, selfish philosophy is best summed up by the following quote: If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject. Nevermind that…

How are you not understanding this? Driving is a dangerous situation. Obviously less dangerous than serving a warrant on violent criminals, but considering that 90% of a cop's time is spent driving, the risk of death while driving becomes more prominent. Similarly, although there are much more dangerous species out there, the deadliest animals affecting humans are honeybees and mosquitoes.

...and this is how the risks of driving a car get downplayed in America. What I am saying is that being in a car is a potentially deadly situation. Offices and cubicles don't collide into each other and aren't capable of traveling 100+ miles per hour. To repeat: Police officers spend more time in their cars than people in most professions, ipso facto their risk from it is higher, and driving a car is a lot more dangerous than most people are willing to acknowledge.
/r/MensRights10/08/14 10:15 PM

Anyone driving for a living is putting themselves at a huge risk. This risk is downplayed because of how central cars are to the American way of life. To give another example, dying in a car accident is by far the most common way for a police officer to die, even with all the other potentially deadly risks the job entails. Driving is the most dangerous thing the vast majority of people will ever do their entire lives.

Who cares if you find it offensive? Describing a circumcised penis as "mutilated" and "dysfunctional" is accurate.

Humans are outclassed in sprinting by a lot of animals, but no one beats us in endurance. The reason for this is simple: we sweat, allowing us to regulate our body temperature better than any other land animal. It is believed that this is the way we hunted before the development of ranged weapons like throwing spears and arrows, running down game at midday when the heat of the sun makes them sluggish and weak. Some tribes in Africa still hunt this way, using only patience and a knife.

Nature vs. Nurture is a false dichotomy, because Nurture arises organically from Nature. Cultural effects on human behavior are just the elaborate playing out of biological impulses across vast stretches of time and space.

I really doubt that you were at a wedding where it was explicitly stated that women should be regarded as chattel.

men are in charge and women is chattel This is feminist false history. Under traditionalism everyone other than the (male and female) aristocratic elite were chattel.

How does traditionalism harm men? By forcing them into a disposable gender role and pretending that giving them authority over their wives compensates for that. Traditionalism asserts men to be the head of the household - the protector, the keeper, the saviour. In other words, traditionalism asserts that men must be forced into a role where they are responsible for other people whether they want to be or not, which means becoming one part workhorse and one part human shield.

I called myself a feminist for most of my life, because I believed the lie I was constantly told: that it is a movement for equality between the sexes. When I went to college I became more immersed in feminist rhetoric and scholarship, and learned that this isn't the case — at least not for members of feminism's "Inner Party", i.e. the activists and academics. In this environment it didn't take long to recognize "Inner Party" feminism for what it is: a political cult based on groupthink and fals…

You shouldn't be downvoted for this, it's absolutely true. I can't say why this is the case but I'd be interested in seeing studies about it.

Why else do you think feminism was able to roll over the west so easily?
