I'm not encouraging you to break the law but some lawyers might. Many things are illegal but never prosecuted and in cases like this, were she in fact lying and you had recorded evidence of that, your employers might be willing to rely on it to judge her complaints, even if not officially saying so. With trial by media also so very common, should you face something like that, sharing a recording which completely exonerates you could be much less detrimental than whatever the penalty for illegal …

Or I could do a million better things with my time. I appreciate that you don't have it handy / linked etc. but I don't feel obliged to attempt to defend the veracity of this statistic as reported by the ABC and which I spent some time checking, based on an unsourced claim. I also made it clear in my original comment that there could under-reporting of female perpetrators for a range of reasons.

And I think walking out of the room when she enters it could be viewed as creating a "hostile environment". You might be better off investing in audio recorders. Their legality and admissibility as evidence varies by jurisdiction but many would still regard them as your best defense.

I'm not saying this is the case here but AI can lie. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/04/05/chatgpt-lies/ One night last week, the law professor Jonathan Turley got a troubling email. As part of a research study, a fellow lawyer in California had asked the AI chatbot ChatGPT to generate a list of legal scholars who had sexually harassed someone. Turley’s name was on the list. The chatbot, created by OpenAI, said Turley had made sexually suggestive comments and attempted to touch a …

The ABC does occasionally do something good for MR and this is one of those. A shame about the "of course" here, from Craig Hughes-Cashmore co-founded the Survivors and Mates Support Network: "A lot of guys also have confusion around sexuality, particularly if they had a male perpetrator, which of course most of us do," he said. Checking the stats it does seem heavily skewed everywhere with typically only 10% or less of child sexual abuse perpetrators being female. But even if there's no under-r…

The case had garnered international attention in the midst of a high-profile re-election campaign between then-Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and Todd Spitzer, who now holds the position. Heading into elections in the fall of 2018, Rackauckas told the press “investigators had recovered videos depicting up to 1,000 incapacitated women being sexually assaulted by Robicheaux and Riley.” He encouraged more women to come forward. But Spitzer won the race, and ordered the case reviewe…

Yes I know that there hasn't been a report of an accusation in this case. I've made that point myself in other threads. And FYI the sharing of rumours - including false ones - can constitute sexual harassment. But I repeat my earlier point - the law is what legislators write it to be. Anything can be criminalised.

You might be (wrongly) conflating two things. Not at all. Direwolf argued that false rape accusations should carry a heavier penalty. You fallaciously countered with what the law is. The simple fact is that the law is what legislators write it to be and I demonstrated with a concrete example of a crime - murder in a particular state of Australia - where the penalty for false accusation is the same as the crime itself.

You're right but there are exceptions to the rule. Lord of the Rings. The main heroes are an unemployed hobbit and his gardener hobbit friend. I reckon their intense ordinariness is one of the reasons these books are so widely loved. Between them the four hobbits and Arwen kill the two most powerful beings in Middle Earth - Sauron and the Witch King of Angmar (chief Nazgul).

It shows just how shallowly they look at the data. No, you look at the dates. This study was published in 2022. The new one demonstrating that gender bias exists in STEM but is much smaller than previously believed was published in 2023.

The salary gap, according to the report, was concerning but smaller than the oft-quoted statistic that women in STEM fields make 82 cents for every dollar that men earn.

Office and Minister of Equality. Seems like most countries now have a government office and minister for women with extremely broad scope. And a human separate human rights watchdog whose scope is largely limited to ending workplace discrimination. I would combine them and within establish national advocates for women, men, LGBTQ+, different races, religions etc. The goal of the office would be to promote equality in all respects and also respectful co-operation between different groups.

The federal Human Rights Commission were the only people who helped me. In fact they slightly bent the law to do it because the state Anti Discrimination had wrongfully rejected my complaint to them.

Even victims can struggle with this. I copped different forms of abuse from both my parents. Physical violence from father. Unwanted sexual interest from mother which thankfully didn't go further than verbal suggestions and repeatedly groping my butt.

The special category of hate crimes exist because both individuals and groups persist who target other groups with both the intent and effect of making all members of that group afraid.

You're right. It's a problem. But it may have roots in the UN and charities which fail to focus on women might actually be denying themselves substantial government funds.

Went upstairs and told my mother who did not eg. tell the police who were still outside. Wasn't privy to the details but likely he was done for DV. He moved out soon after and the kids stayed with the mother.

This is a strong indicator of confirmation bias in feminist research, where researchers keep on looking for ways to find what they expect to find, by changing the design and conduct of their studies until they get the result they want. No. Presumably there are more males in senior public sector roles and this particular study ruled out selection bias at the shortlisting stage. Something else has to be responsible - true - and they presume that some other stage is biased - which might be false. F…

Discrimination based on sex is illegal. Courts don't always recognise it though, and can be discriminatory themselves. I was undeniably sexually harassed - explicitly threatened via email for refusing to date a woman - then run out of my job and PhD for continuing to refuse. Instead of protecting me against this undeniable harassment, my employer viciously pursued a transparently false complaint my harasser cooked up against me. And ultimately found me guilty purely on the basis of a non-existen…

This is sadly just what I'd expect from today's ABC. I'm gay, vegan, very left, as pro equality as you can be, and support the Men's Rights Movement. Why? Because I'm a gay male victim of undeniable sexual harassment by a woman, eg. explicitly threatening me via email for refusing to date her. The evidence was clear. She was the harasser and I victim. Nevertheless, my employer, the now infamous University of Queensland, viciously pursued her transparently malicious complaint against me. To the p…

Another answer a feminist would give is that they are by teaching men not to be "toxicly masculine". One of the modern horrible ones for sure. We are sadly drowning in those. To be fair though - and I do swing that way - an old school feminist might rightly suggest another culprit.

The idea that accusers are looking for fame and attention is sexist, misguided — and, in this case, nonsensical The author of this article seems to accept that these women lied. Blasts the shit out of Bieber for saying the obvious - they lied for fame and attention. Money is another likely candidate. But she doesn't offer an alternative explanation for their lies.

Nobody knows. Accusers do. it's impossible to know Actually it is. A high profile case from Australia illustrates that. Gable Tostee put a physically abusive woman out on his balcony. Frightened, she attempted to climb off and fell to her death. What was interesting about this case is that unknown to her he was secretly audio recording. So police, the courts and media all had to deal with the truth. He was found not guilty of murder but has since been persistently harassed by women's groups. I s…

As a gay male victim of female sexual harassment I think it's not a matter of people wanting her to succeed and more that certain interest groups want male victims to be invisible. Because they disprove the "rule" that men are evil sexual beasts and women are only ever victims. And others can't even recognise that men can be victims. eg. a recent ep Drag Race Canada included a contestant recounting that during a gig, a female attendee stuck her finger up his butt. That's sexual assault. And it b…

The act committed by the female perpetrator is more clearly sexual assault - some random woman sticking her finger up a guy's butt - but is not presented as such.

You joke but maybe that's what will happen. One of my school friends took to topless waitressing at a strip club when she went to uni. She didn't tell any of us but one of our friend's boyfriend and his mates visited her club when she was on and the secret got out. Though none of us cared. I never asked her how much she was paid but I'd bet it was a much better hourly rate than she would have received flipping burgers at McDonalds.

There are also ways in which men deal with sexism and gender oppression that I was not aware of when I was walking around in a female body. A couple of years after my transition, I had a grad student I’d been mentoring. She started coming on to me, stalking me, sending me emails and texts.

men need to stop raping is an inherently offensive sentiment. Replace "men" with "aboriginals", "jews", "blacks" etc. and no-one would hesitate to label it what it is - hate speech. I like Sarah.

Two of the men filmed the assault, during which the woman is silent and passive.

Ironically the article tries to portray sexism against women, but actually demonstrates it beautifully against men. With perfect timing, he exposed the obvious: insulting or disagreeing with women almost invariably becomes sexual in a way that it does not for men. Because all men are stupid slut-shamers like this senator? No we're not. And every time a woman falsely cries "misogynist" or "mainsplainer" to try to win an argument, men are experiencing that kind of sexualisation.

It's WAY harder to be the male ideal of attractive than the female. I've always thought the opposite. Looking at other guys, a lot of what makes a guy attractive is physique, which extends to face musculature. Guys can achieve a decent physique - well below that of eg. Hemsworth - without surgery or hitting the genetic jackpot. Compare that to women, they can diet to keep themselves slim but I doubt there's any exercises which could eg. enhance breast size.

The fact that he has worked for that organisation makes that tactic very risky. If they hurl it and the media highlights his past activities that in turn would make feminists look like hypocrites in relation to this and in the broader sense also weaken the power of "misogynist" as an attack.

If the judge has an unconscions bias... I think it's a good deal more than that. There are official but unpublished judicial guidelines and since the norm seems to be women getting off very lightly compared to men, it's likely that is in accord with those guidelines.

Yeah. How bothered are these men by their being fatherless? Even if there's research showing that men say that becoming a father is important, is that how they really feel or are they just repeating an unquestioned social norm?

QLD is one of those places with discriminatory rape laws. Edit : Or was. Looks like it was changed in '97. Reading it now it doesn't seem discriminatory, but the only case of a woman being prosecuted for rape I can find was a mother who held down her daughter to assist her boyfriend in raping her. She pleaded guilty and was convicted but she served no time for that.

As a gay man, I've had the misfortune of being stalked, sexually harassed and having my life threatened by a female convicted attempted strangler (who was at the time on probation) in Queensland. She neatly avoided justice by simply falsely accusing me of her crimes - even though there was absolute proof of her guilt and my innocence, up to and including several confessions made by her.

You're ignorance is still showing. Psychology rejects nearly all of Freud and his nonsense. That nonsense is still, however, widely taught in medical degrees to doctors and psychiatrists.

He was only exonerated because there was DNA evidence. Investigators collected DNA samples from Bileski, from the victim and her home in the small, east-central Saskatchewan town.

My stalker / harasser faked cancer to give herself an excuse to drop her malicious complaint against me. She couldn't cope with the stress of pursuing this on top of the cancer. That's what she did after they told her that I'm gay. Then she handwrote a bizarre apology letter confessing to lying about everything and also claimed to have always known that I'm gay. She was just trying to help me, she claimed. I wonder what social work class she learned that technique in? Her subpoena'ed psychiatris…

I also found this one odd: It found that black men in federal court are sentenced to 19.1 percent more time, on average, than white men who, at least on paper, committed the same crimes and have similar criminal histories. The "at least on paper" implies that these black men could somehow be deserving of their harsher sentences in a way which the court would know but which wouldn't be recorded. WTF?

It's not just a matter of admissibility in court. Men are instantly tried, convicted and executed in the court of public opinion. If you're in that situation and have illegally recorded proof of your innocence, releasing that proof may be worth it, even if the police then prosecute you for illegal recording. Spend the rest of your life being falsely labelled as a rapist versus technically having committed a crime but only one of self defence. Not a hard choice.

I had a terrible experience with multiple courts, but all of the bad judges were men. The only decent experiences I had were with two female judges.

Want to know what I suspect? Pussypass might be a political maneuver to address this. The powers that be know that prison is ineffective and expensive, but neither side of politics can afford to be seen to be soft on crime. Women are also committing more and more prison-worthy crimes, but there aren't anywhere near enough facilities to incarcerate them. So judges are told to go soft on women. Men are, according to feminist dogma at least, uncontrollable rage monkeys and MRAs should riot every ti…

Even gay men are supposed to enjoy it. Turn straight for it even.

She was embarrassingly sycophantic, like gushing about my job (not that big a deal) and I ended up having to fall asleep to get some peace. It was an 8 hour flight so she'd have been driven me mad otherwise. A guy loses consciousness in the face of your flirting. You'd think she'd give up, right? Nah. At the end of the flight when I woke up, she pointedly gave me the name of her hotel and her room number. At least the…

So why should men making movies depicting a woman as the villain be "misogynistic"? To some people, failing to express reverence and respect for women and acknowledge their struggles at EVERY opportunity is misogynist. So a film like this (terrible!), made by a man (despicable!) with a male protagonist (oh the horror!) would be an abomination.

1.Government must cut off funds to groups or charities that demonize men. This would send a message in our culture about how men are portrayed and talked about. I think we've seen a little bit of that, but the result isn't great. Groups which formerly blatantly refused services to male victims or portrayed all men are perpetrators, now claim to offer their services to all victims, including male ones, but dig a little deeper and it's still ugly.
