Considering words are defined by how they're used, it becomes immediately clear that the word "sexism" merely serves to grant political and/or cultural power to the individuals using it. This is as much the case with now largely archaic terms such as "heretic". There's no point in deciding upon an objective definition since they're not used objectively.

One characteristic of good leadership is the ability to stay in control. Being bossy however indicates insecurity; with the person having a tendency to verbally lash out under pressure.

I suspect that western economies will simply continue to decline. There is absolutely no incentive for individuals to strive for economic productivity when they know that they'll have to contend with artificially high living costs alongside the expectation to finance an ever-growing nanny state. This is why it is my aim to look for employment opportunities abroad as soon as my education is through. There is no "better life" waiting for young men in the western world.

The government should not be allowed to claim ownership over a person, regardless of whether the person is male or female. If individuals are unwilling to defend such a government, then it deserves to be defeated.

The academic theories which define modern feminism would not stand up to scrutiny if an evidence-based approach was employed; therefore it cannot be expected that such an approach will ever be taken. Feminism is an advocacy group acting on behalf of women, and much like a labor union, it's interested in negotiating the best deal for those it represents; not necessarily the fairest deal for all parties.

I never knew the section existed, although I would wager that it might have something to do with the fact that around here, momentum appears to drive momentum. Once a subreddit has a lot of subscribers, it becomes the default place to go. Smaller subreddits have smaller audiences, and therefore posting something there means that it likely won't get read, nor attract community interaction. Unfortunately, this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I believe the STEM fields will likely always be more attractive to men, as historically, men have been the builders of civilization whilst women have been the nurturers. The STEM fields heavily involve facts and figures, whilst soft sciences involve a lot more compassion and emotion. The APA ran a piece in 2011 specifically talking about gender demographics in the field of psychology [1], and they found that female psychology graduates are now outnumbering male ones 3 to 1.

I'm not sure why you'd want to carry the baggage of being associated with feminists. Whilst there may be some who are more impartial and claim to care about men's issues (they usually call themselves "equity feminists), to find these people you will probably have to converse with many who simply latch onto the equity feminist label whilst holding more mainstream feminist beliefs. As for equality, I don't personally believe anyone supports it. Many may claim to believe in it as some vague ideal, …

The mainstream media is only tangentially interested in objectivity. Generally they're much more interested in selling stories; and this presents a problem with issues such as circumcision. Circumcision is demonstrably genital mutilation. Not only are they removing healthy tissue, but they're removing it from a sensitive part of the body at an age where the child can't consent to the procedure. Yet, the media states it as a question to avoid offending readers (and by consequence customers). Ther…

Indeed. Whilst feminists insinuate that the preference for male births in China is due to females being "less valued", the real reason is of course to do with the fact that males possess more utility; especially in rural farming communities where poverty is very pronounced. They don't need more uteruses because they don't need more mouths to feed. What they need is more cheap, disposable labor (in the form of men) to keep the wages coming in. Incidentally, the women in these societies live much …

I no longer see the point in having an "atheist movement". It's just become a bunch of people who pride themselves on the fact that they don't believe in deities; seemingly because it gives them a feeling of moral and intellectual superiority. I've also noticed that many of them - AronRa included - tend to follow the "atheist culture" dogmatically, with those of a more fringe mindset (i.e: non-social democrat, anti-feminist) being lumped in with creationists, and other groups deemed to be "irrat…

The "herbivore men" phenomenon in Japan will likely become mainstream in the west eventually. Men in Japan live and work in much more isolated/unhealthy environments than do westerners; which perhaps explains why Japan has seen a rise in MGTOW (or what could be construed as MGTOW) much quicker than the west. There's also the fact that Japan experienced some economically turbulent events during the 1990's, I believe.

Generally females are drawn towards males who can protect and provide for them, whilst males are drawn towards females who are physically in a healthy state to reproduce. Unfortunately this paradigm has become somewhat maladaptive in the modern era; enabling female entitlement, such as the example featured here.

Democracy was once very limited. It is only recently that concepts such as universal suffrage have become widespread. This is just yet another example of the revisionist history that feminists engage in. Personally, whilst I oppose the limitations upon freedom that used to exist prior to universal suffrage, I do also believe that freedom itself depends upon democracy being limited.

The idea that feminism "benefits men by fighting the patriarchy" is just nonsense. Feminism is a female advocacy group, and if women can gain from a policy measure that harms men; generally it seems that feminists will support it.

Do you not consider it serious that a child was suspended for doing no harm? I originally stated that it was a "tangentially related" issue, and I did so because I believe that the education system is catered towards girls. It's not so much a matter of "civil rights", but instead a matter of common sense. A society that allows boys to play, encourages them to learn in their own way, and directs their energy towards something productive is going to be much better off as a result.

It doesn't matter what ideological angle a politician presents themselves as being, mainstream politics still remains a popularity contest, and consequently the people in those positions have to appease different pressure groups. Whether Cameron is actually a feminist is somewhat irrelevant, because he'll take the feminist party line if feminists put him in a position to make him do so. This is why I don't associate myself with politics.

There's always the risk of children getting hurt when they play outside, but I think these are risks that should be approached sensibly. Surely you must recognize that there's a difference between children playing outside in an adequately observed playground setting, and allowing children near real dangers such as building sites and busy roads? Trying to stop them from playing outside, running around, and occasionally grazing their knees isn't going to do them any good; neither from the perspect…

I used the word "criminalizing" in the sense that typical masculine traits are generally not allowed on the school premises. "No Running" "No Jumping" "No Playing Tag" "No Play Fighting" etc, etc... Pointing a finger at someone and pretending it's a gun is harmless. We're becoming too soft; and if we continue to stifle the creativity and imagination of our next generation of boys, the negative long term consequences could be dire.

In my own view social conservatives are hopeless idealists; totally out of sync with how the world has been permanently altered by mechanization and consumerism. I do think that traditionalists will eventually find common ground with feminists though. Whilst these 2 groups seem like strange bedfellows on the surface (even enemies), the diminishing number of men assuming their expected paternalistic duties will lead to these groups forming a begrudging truce, and no doubt they'll use the state to…

It's certainly a lot cheaper to live alone; especially if you're a man. Moreover, if you're a young man you have the advantage of not being used to the married lifestyle. Instead of working 8 hours a day in a small cubicle just to mortgage a McMansion for a nagging spouse, we young folk can instead work in jobs that we find fulfilling, and we'll have greater flexibility as a result.

It seems that dating advice in general is catered towards keeping the woman happy. I think this is so ingrained in both the culture and our biology that many people are oblivious to it; although I would also say that culture is a reflection of biology to a large degree, and visa versa.

I think it's tangentially related. Boys are naturally more playful and aggressive than girls, and yet schools refuse to make allowances for this; essentially criminalizing masculinity by sedating boys with Ritalin, and by making them conform to an educational structure that is really better suited to girls. Why do you think girls are performing so much better in the modern education system?

I think it depends upon your general outlook. I personally see life as a remarkable thing, whilst other people do not. I believe values are subjective, and if someone doesn't value life now they may never value it. However I think it's important to attempt to convince them otherwise; even if that is merely another value of mine that they may never share.

Feminism is a female advocacy group that wishes to establish equal outcomes at the cost of liberty and logic. Of course feminists will say that men are relegated to the position of "ally", because feminism isn't concerned with the feelings or opinions of men, even when they're advocating for policies which demonstrably harm men. Sure, you can "support" their advocacy as a man; but it's really not in your interest to, and before you uphold the importance of "equality", think first about what that…

Wikipedia is useful to familiarize people with - among other things - philosophical concepts, scientific theories, overviews of different areas of research, and historical events. However it's really not a credible source outside of that. This is why it's not accepted by colleges and universities as source material. With that said, there are wiki-type pages that are much more biased; such as RationalWiki for example.

It took 13.8 billion years for the atoms of the universe to configure themselves as they are at this moment. In the big scheme of things, life - and by that I mean all life - is just a blip on time. It will be forgotten in the trillions of years that will follow until the universe's demise, and because of this I don't think anyone should seriously consider "ending it". Life is remarkable, and you can do remarkable things with it.

I believe lots of feminist theory take a "postmodern" approach to critical analysis, which perhaps explains why their theories are so empty. Whenever I ask a self-described postmodernist a question about their philosophy; they typically respond by asking another question, as if to imply that my original question was too simplistic.

I think the term "Patriarchy" is a broken word at this point. Most of what feminists assert as being privileges or powers held by men over women could really be better described as responsibilities in the historical context. Men had responsibilities to protect and provide for women, and women largely benefited; losing a few freedoms in the process. It must be said though, that women didn't complain about lacking these freedoms until after the industrial revolution (orchestrated by men) had made …

Thanks for showing me that clip. I'd never seen it before, and it does appear to somewhat support what I've been thinking lately about the differences in male and female behavior.

Perhaps they think it's a good money making tactic? Men are more affluent and less eager to complain, ergo; we'll pocket more cash from men who are being dragged along by their demanding spouses/girlfriends.

It's difficult to avoid supporting the system through taxes unless you don't earn enough to pay the lowest tax rate. Constraining oneself to a low salary however is not ideal, especially considering there's more competition at the lower level, less job security, and more compromised living arrangements.

When one actually considers the generally accepted definition of "privilege", the concept of "male privilege" suddenly seems very at odds with reality indeed.

I think it's great for the reason that actions speak louder than words. If one understands that the marriage contract has grown into something unreasonable for men, but then enters into the contract voluntarily as opposed to walking away, they're sending a mixed message. This is just my prediction, but I think men refusing to enter into marriage contracts will become increasingly common, and I think society will have to eventually respond to this by recognizing the damage that has already been d…

I agree that they're very different procedures, but morally, the arguments against female genital mutilation should also apply to male genital mutilation. The child is too young to consent to a permanent surgical procedure which is medically unnecessary.

As much as he may have willingly gone along with it, he was 15 and she was 34. She shouldn't be having sex with minors, and therefore shouldn't expect child support from someone who was a minor at the time. Still, I imagine it's too late to remedy this case now. By my calculations, the father (then 15) will now be 33, and the child 18 (and therefore an adult).

It's interesting to hear of your motivations, although I can't say they're motivations I identify with. Perhaps some do perceive that they gain from the experience, although the moral justifications still don't make sense to me. I also don't associate militarism with defense. Defense is spontaneous and emergent, militarism is a product of design.

I'd say that in principle I support equality of opportunity. The idea that individuals should exceed on merit, regardless of anything unrelated to what they can provide in terms of skill.

I wasn't talking about motivation, I was talking about what Militarism amounts to in practice. If I'm stating the obvious, then surely you understand where I'm coming from here?

Considering marriage is a government institution, I think men should rightfully boycott it. Marriage was originally a contract between 2 parties that was supposed to signify commitment. However now that the terms of the contract can change at the will of the politically active majority, the contract itself is pretty much invalid.

In practice, it is doing just as I described though. When you take away the title of "soldier", what personal quarrel do the individual men on each side have with one another? I can understand someone wanting to protect their comrades, but surely the people on the other side may rationalize war in the same manner? It is looking at the situation from afar which provides one with the perspective that militarism is a racket.

There's a lot of contradictions within the Feminist narrative.

For all their supposed moral superiority, they generally act within their own interest. If it works for them to turn against black males to aid white females (themselves) then they will.

The concept of the ''Glass Ceiling'' that Feminists keep talking about is really not substantiated with hard evidence. At least not evidence which could be said to represent most individual situations. The supposed existence of a glass ceiling is mostly asserted along with a citation of some cherry-picked instances where it could be perhaps inferred that discrimination took place, although even then, it's hardly conclusive, it's really just conjecture. A political talking point which can be used…

The video series is really just a way for Anita to distinguish her propaganda from other Feminists. Her video series has it's own style, looks at a new medium to analyse under a Feminist lens (gaming), and in turn, creates a lot of views and attention for Anita herself. The video series itself is trivial in what it is attempting to do. Although it does serve it's purpose. Both for Anita, and for the MRM. For her, it brings a lot of attention in exchange for doing something incredibly easy. For u…

It would seem that Feminists are calling things in which they demonstrably would have relied upon 150 years ago ''Oppressive'' and ''Sexist'' whilst completely ignoring the fact that without these ''White Knights'', women wouldn't have been able to perform the manual tasks necessary to feed themselves before modernity. Feminists have a poor grasp of history, and I would wager that they wouldn't swap their lifestyle today for a lifestyle without the technology that men built and developed during …

If someone doesn't want to edit for Wikipedia, then someone doesn't want to. It shouldn't matter what their gender is, even if gender disparity is noted in the demographics of people refusing to get involved. There could be a number of reasons for this disparity, but ultimately, none will be overly important. It's a website, and the last time I checked, no one is stopping women from getting involved. This mentality is hardly something that is limited to Feminists, but a lot of Feminists seem to …

The MRM is constantly strawmanned by Feminists. Most of us are framed as Traditionalists that want to ''take away'' women's rights. This couldn't be further from the truth. At least in the majority of cases. Most of us simply want equity. We want men and women to be treated equally under the law, and we want to try to find an arrangement which is fair for all parties. Feminism on the other hand, is desperately campaigning for preferential treatment and using polarizing rhetoric to justify it.

Thank you for your support. Interestingly, when it comes to the whole traditional gender-roles thing, Feminists seem to discriminate more than MRA's do. They'll acknowledge that sexual orientation and divergent expressions of gender identity can be reasonably inferred to be innate characteristics, whether genetic or developmental (sexual orientation is likely genetic), yet they'll speak disparagingly about majority gender norms and heterosexuality as if much of it is a ''Social Construct''. I ha…

This is one of the worst stories I've heard in a long time.

It does get difficult when no signs of physical harm are present. Although if there are injuries, and it could be proven that they were inflicted by the accused, I think it's rather conclusive. As for how easy that is, I'm not sure.

In my opinion, the burden of proof should always be upon the person making the claim. If someone is trying to make out that someone has sexually assaulted them, they should be able to prove it. All it would take is a medical exam and a DNA test. Then, the rapist can be thrown in jail quickly and efficiently. If the accuser refuses a medical exam, authorities shouldn't be expected to waste any further time. If a false accuser agrees to these terms, and an innocent victim has to go through the sha…

I too have noticed that it's generally males that use shaming language against other males. I also think this is partly due to gynocentrism. Men are less likely to aid another man than they are likely to jump to the defense of a woman. Hence, men are more likely to use shaming language to appeal to a man's sense of competition and inadequacy as opposed to persuasion and connivance (a generally more female trait.). All in all, it's an interesting/good list.

I prefer to call it ''Male Genital Mutilation''. The medical benefits are pure myth, and the simple fact is, it goes against the child's consent. Banning it may be politically difficult, but I would certainly support a ban if it came our way.

Eventually the truth can no longer be hidden. As far as I have observed, Feminism today only really thrives within a closed forum, comments are heavily moderated, and dissent is quickly banned. They're essentially at a point where they're preaching to the converted (which is sadly still quite a lot). The MRM on the other hand exists in an open forum because it's ideas are defensible. I see it growing quite a lot, and it's wonderful to see.

I'm very sorry to hear this, I hope you manage to make a speedy recovery. Your story further cements for me that marriage within this climate is best avoided.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I understand this is common in the University environment today.

TU stands for Toronto University doesn't it? If so, that's where Warren Farrell had to endure protesters that tried to stop people from visiting his speech. I'd imagine she'll be mainly preaching to the converted?

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
