Does anyone know more details about the judge's role in something to do with the draft and selective service? Putting aside all the Epstein stuff, it seems like that issue had something to do with Marc, the killer of the judge, and something the judge was involved with earlier. It all seems weird and fishy.

Sorry to not be clearer. I was just copying and pasting something, not trying to make you dig. I read that as she was a feminist who said ideally a child should have a mom and dad or at least biologically come from both sexes. Apparently, that statement caused her grief among other feminists. Being "more relaxed" sounds open to eliminating men entirely from the process somehow.
/r/MensRights01/05/20 02:12 AM

Interesting. Thanks for the response. I found this: In 1997, she wrote that "children…will ideally come from mother and father."[59] She wrote in 2000, "I'm more relaxed about the whole issue now"

Ecofeminism is especially interesting to me due to how long the "essentialist rhetoric" infused itself into yet another wave. How absolutely sexist and stereotypical it became where a "feminine" or "feminist" or "female way of knowing" approach to the environment involved the exact associations with women as the moral superiors and enlightened guardians of both the moral and now the physical world. Example: I've read Carolyn Merchant's The Death of Nature. It's exactly the type of thing that arg…

Does it have to do with the amount of women in early punch cards, telecommunications, and switchboards. We can take that female empowerment tale back into the telegraph days. But dang, imagine the claim that men were involved in an early phase, followed by a later phase dominated by women. The claim that men invented the late phase is pretty awful to the women involved in that later phase.

Feminists will often argue that the system reflects traditional sexist roles about women naturally being better mothers. If that is the feminist perspective, it is difficult to understand why every feminist organization opposes joint custody, as far as what I've seen. Giving men equal access as loving dads is seen as bad for women after a divorce. Their gender movement fights for women and what is best for women, but certainly not what is best for men and women.

Men are less likely to gain custody of kids or achieve joint custody. We lose our children or access to our children as well as true influence as parents who shape their destinies, because they are the most important things in the world to us. Yet society seems to regard children as the property of women. Regardless of any explanation, there is a serious human rights violation, when it comes to a parent losing their children, especially if it only comes from the words, "I'm not happy." Men serve…

I say this not to endorse evangelicals, but it is really interesting to watch older sermons especially Billy Graham who warned about the dangers of such a "revolution" well before the 60s. There is also an interesting doc on YT called "Rise of the New Right" or "Rise of the Religious Right." The 60s and the Sex Rev of the 70s are celebrated by many, many people, especially in academia. It's all about liberation, self-experimentation, personal freedom, self-oriented choices. ​ It is very necessar…

You mean because more people are willing to pay to watch a certain thing, then there is more demand and money for that thing. That seems like a very correct explanation, although I also wonder to what extent it applies to things like waiting tables or tip-based earnings. Do women earn more from sexual appeal as waitresses than do men as waiters? Maybe I should be saying waitpeople in current year.

The evidence is indeed interesting, and it's nice to read some of those 80s debates, but feminism had existed in some form or another for well over 100 years at that point. I think it might be reasonably argued that any critique of the male-only draft is a pretty recent development among certain feminists, especially those anti-Vietnam War crowds vs. a much long history of suffragists who engaged in things like the White Feather campaigns, etc. ​ Still I thank the OP for bringing some evidence t…

Yes, that war is the best example that I can think of when it comes to male disposability. I suspect that millions of young men died having not a single care about the European balance of power. They were pressured into "manning up" to show the world that they weren't cowards and were "real men." It's even more disgusting that they got to a new type of war that was not chivalrous but a death grinder that treated bodies like cattle and recycling the uniforms to barely fit the new recruits of youn…

While I don't think there was an American equivalent to this campaign on the streets, it is interesting to google image search Great War propaganda to see how often these things exploited the Rape of Belgium or used images of potentially victimized women to motivate men to join up to save damsels in distress and "man up." There are even images that depict lady liberty as a potential rape victim. "Men, if you have any honor, sense of duty, or bravery, you should be willing to sacrifice yourself f…

Except that there is a very vigorous men's rights movement that highlights the insane levels of violent wives, the disadvantages of men in arranged marriages, and the general way that men get screwed over in India....all while being our Western conception of a misogynistic society that treats women like cattle. Meanwhile the men are disposable and nobody cares.

She's wearing a $1000 coat and demanding preferential treatment on a city bus. I don't begrudge her for the coat, more power to her. But that level of entitlement for being a woman is bizarre.

They were bound to come around, but it is still interesting that an organization that has defended the KKK (for legit reasons) had an instant negative reaction to defending accused men. But give them some time and reflection, and I predicted that even the ACLU would come around to an egalitarian side when it comes to rights or civil liberties.

Hello and welcome. If you'd like a crash course, please watch the documentary The Red Pill. It could take dozens of us hours to explain things through typing, whereas 90 minutes on your part can be a good introduction. I don't mean to sound condescending and most of us welcome your inquiries, but I'd like to ask for a little bit of leg work first, if that makes sense.

Personally, I think it is tied into the fear of grad school, latching onto something that pleases professors, and trying to sound smart. It's a coping mechanism from the Frankfurt school to postmodernism to feminism, people are just trying to say the right things in a system that tells them to read 3 books a week and teach discussion classes. They just latch on like cult followers, and some of them make it through the system.

Well, if you're happy, then you're happy. I just find that mgtow develops that sense of personal freedom into a philosophy for all men to find happiness. I feel that I could not be happy without my loving and wonderful wife. But what makes you happy is up to you.

I am uncomfortable with the ways that mgtow generalizes about ALL women the way that feminism has generalized about ALL men. There are good women who make wonderful companions and best friends for life. Checking out of a system seems as bad to me as the radical lesbian feminists who went gay not because of personal identity but because of personal resentment and an openly political statement. I do sympathize with mgtow issues in terms of divorced men and unbalanced scales, but to turn your back …

There is always a debate about correlation vs. causation, but any google search or researching the work of Warren Farrell will lead you in the right direction. WF's most recent responses and promotion of The Boy Crisis covers a lot of it. Sorry if my answer is a bit short and lazy, but honestly the question seems that way too, no disrespect intended. There is ample evidence just from a basic google search for stats on outcomes, education, IQ, psychology, etc.

It's a fair point that perhaps the most radical voices get the most attention, but I also wonder if the most obscure radical voices get pushed into the mainstream by academia in some kind of trickle down way. Bell Hooks for example.

A good watch, and she makes several thoughtful points. But, I kind of doubt that she (as an everyday moderate feminist) could name a single famous feminist of any specific wave that didn't have something nasty to say about men. I've been trying to find the "real feminists" who didn't say misandrist things throughout the history of feminism and it's like looking for needles in a haystack of angry voices who at best pat the "allies" on the head while still viewing men as oppressors and women as vi…

Your post makes me think of a hypothetical situation where the historical Bourgeoisie are being sent to the Gulags, and somebody in Soviet Russia tries to ask about universal human rights, which the Soviets proclaimed. All eyes of the state are suddenly upon that person as an enemy of the state.

I can attest to some of this personally, especially if OP only has female points and not race points on the intersectional identity scoreboard.

It's a long and complicated answer, but thanks for posting your question. I don't know where to begin. If you would like an overview of our movement, please see the documentary The Red Pill. If I had to nail down one reason in particular, it has to do more with the history of feminism and not the MRM.

It's an interesting article, and it makes good points, but it also leaves me with a nagging feeling that one could simply swap out gynocentrism and patriarchy, along with microagrressions, and substitute your given feminist buzz words, etc. to achieve the same level of actual aggression disguised as theory.

The first men's issues conference (2012?) had like 50 people, which is comparable to the 1848 feminist Seneca Falls Convention.

So some of the assumptions that go into unconscious bias are collective perceptions and stereotypes that can be negative and not treat individuals on a case by case basis, but rather to assume that a group/gender is linked to stereotypes or certain behaviors.

I see it brought up often around these parts. Any understanding of societal treatment of men often centers around the draft, if we're speaking historically.

It's a huge historical issue surrounding the societal treatment of men vs. women. As much as people can support voluntary military service of women and equal opportunity, no one wants women today to be treated as men were treated in the past.

Again you are thinking of consequences in terms of physical harm. That is not the reality of domestic violence or parental abuse. Often, the physical harm is easiest to cope with. It is the emotional distress that can really fuck up a person's mind, confidence, and mentality. Imagine, for example, a father who never touches his daughter but refers to her constantly as a worthless whore or reverse the genders. The physical side of it can be momentary. The emotional side can last a lifetime.

You have a conception of domestic violence that is entirely about physical strength.

If the worst is that you steer clear of parties, then maybe it's not so bad. A lot of men have faced much worse due to a scorned ex that tries to ruin their lives. Not sure if you have any good options other than keep your head down, finish school, and move on with your life.

It is creepy unless the whole team does it as part of some kind of team communication. There is nothing to see here but a concerned parent. If the guy is pitchforked with no due process, then that might be a MR's issue. I would imagine that many people here would be concerned if a female high school teacher tried to contact our sons through social media. That is how it usually starts with the 35 year old teacher and the 14 year old boy. Same for us with daughters.

Well, just glancing through, it's not simply a rewrite that replaces "Jews" with men and "jewish conspiracy" with patriarchy. I was expecting something like that.

No. There are outright communists who could be fired under existing state laws that were put in place during the Cold War. But there was never any political capital to be gained from repealing those oaths and laws. Imagine a politician saying, "Educators should not have to be loyal to our country or our laws!" Instead, nobody enforces those laws, similar to how sodomy is still illegal in many states, as is XXX pornography at a time when every computer can access XXX pornography.

It's also unsettling to me how it's almost common sense that special spaces are needed to encourage and motivate women in universities that are 60 percent women.

While listening to this it kind of amazes me that we don't see more older 2nd wavers forming coalitions to educate women about these life choices, and the costs of putting a career ahead of family. I certainly see many older men around here lament the things they lost (possibly including a wife and children) by focusing so much on a job or career.

If you truly believe in the textbook definition of feminism and also believe in men's rights, then I don't see the problem, although I think being an egalitarian would cover both sides.

It has to be related to some human behavior or type of consumption that increased dramatically since 1970. I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like plastic bottles, processed foods, or florescent lights. Any other guesses?

That blog is such trash. Imagine a MRA parody addressed to female MRAs, where the genders were swapped but everything else remained the same. "Women... you want to be allies... be quiet, shut up, get to the back of the line, we determine whether you are an ally... don't womansplain..." I think an article like that would become as infamous as Elam's parody of Jezebel.

Try it out. It would be interesting to hear a response. I can definitely see the Title IX office seriously consider how somebody interrupting a woman and saying she is womansplaining so please shut up... a case could be made for "creating a hostile environment." On the other hand, you're also asking the university to police words and restrict a certain phrase.

You're in a former satellite state of the Soviet Union, which promoted feminist reforms for a long time.

Thanks for conversing with us as a feminist. I'm not sure how a court would judge the level of seduction vs. the simple fact that at a certain age a kid is a kid.

I've been on that side and I've seen it creep out of the woodwork, so to speak, in weird ways, from a disregard for traditional relationships to some kind of association of the family unit with heterosexual couples and white men. I've never seen the left offer a compelling alternative other than some idealistic notion of communal or collectivist living, which sounds like a totalitarian or culti…

I don't really find this very convincing to be honest.

Sounds about right, as far as a typical experience for a lot of white men.

Just as an experiment, you might try calling the shelters and seeing if services are comparable to statistics.

So they get around this with short term hotel vouchers for men while frequently not advertising those services much. It can be akin to separate but unequal services and accommodations.

I've had similar conversations. You have to kind of get past the defensive response of "well, that isn't the fault of women!!!" but I've never personally met a feminist who straight up said that kids should be kept away from loving and good men. They will consider it violence against men, but it takes a ton of debate to show them that we don't necessarily blame women for it, since they are so used to blaming men for problems affecting women.

And this is generously using the US as an example. We were late to the war and suffered a fraction of the casualties.

It really depends on scale and impact of complaints. If you believe that we live in a rape culture, then that is certainly a legit issue.

Do you see how easily you moved there from a pretty simplistic (IMO) theory about the oppression of women under patriarchy to the oppression of people under capitalism? It's all very top down in terms of who is the villain and who is the victim. It doesn't seem like an easy way to get around complications and serious questions, simply by shifting the blame.

I would really encourage MRAs to attend these events and speak out. They are giving us a place on campus to discuss men's issues. There is no reason that men can't respond to the way the conversation is being controlled. We need people to congratulate the intentions of helping men, while politely explaining the problems with the feminist perspective on toxic masculinity. I would love to hear their response to "Men are now a marginalized minority of college students, and you've taught us that it'…

I sort of predict a dismissal along with a doubling down, but i think that we might be surprised. If she has one shred of honesty and compassion for men, then she would be embarrassed by her statements and admitting of some degree of ignorance about the MRM. However, if she doubles down, it's absolutely transparent how she is more concerned with power and tactics. She has to know the question is coming, or she is living under her Ms. Magazine echo chamber of a rock.

I don't understand your objections to this quotation, other than you believe the OP is "really" saying something that you think the OP is "really" saying. What specifically are you objecting to other than stereotyping, because the feminist side has a very long history of stereotyping gender differences when it put women in a positive light. There is no way to read that quotation as men above women unless you buy into gender stereotypes that feminists promote.

If we took stereotypes about the worst aspects of traditional femininity, while ignoring positive stereotypes, then it would be the same type of definition. Notice how absolutely nothing is said here about traditional aspects of masculinity that promote duty, honor, self-sacrifice, provider/protector mentality? One could argue that those are damaging too, but this definition focuses on stuff that negatively affects women, not what saves them from a sinking ship. It's myopic.

If any comment against Mika's appearance is by default sexist, then this comment about Conway should be seen as sexist. But either way, it's not actually sexist to make a negative comment about a person's appearance, regardless of gender. One side just uses it for gains, and it's so obviously dumb.

Feminism, as it was presented to me, was a no brainer. Of course women are human beings, and they deserve equal rights. It's just obvious to anyone who cares about human rights in general. What isn't obvious are men's issues, and it took a lot of questioning on my part just to care about men.

I also kind of like "internalized chivalry" so long as chivalry isn't glorified, but instead approached from both the admirable and the horrific.

I think the concept of internalized misogyny is very disempowering, as if women's choices are not really choices, but they've been somehow brainwashed by patriarchy or societal norms.

Feminism is supposed to mean gender equality.

And the saddest part about WWI is how governments manipulated men by appealing to chivalry in a war that lacked chivalry. The central moral justification for war was the "rape of Belgium," meaning the German treatment of women, children, and some men (always put in that hierarchy).

Some of the most misogynistic stuff on the internet usually has a MGTOW or PUA label, although perhaps it's maybe a radical and angry fringe that gives outsiders a bad taste for the whole.

It's disturbing that the headline is "protestors say," as if anyone who spent 5 minutes researching the history of circumcision would say, "Well that's a provocative point of view to call removing a very sensitive part of the penis 'mutilation'. Gee, those interesting protestors and the crazy things they say!" As Cassie Jaye showed, it only takes a 5 minute YT video to see it for what it is.

Anyone know why they turned on Germaine Greer? Let me guess: It had nothing to do with her book The Beautiful Boy, which borders on pedo or is outright pedo. That's probably OK for them. But, if she said a man cannot be a woman, then she got crucified. Does my guess come close to reality? Ugh... while reading I clicked back here to comment, and now the article is behind a pay wall.

If you are the father, there will be a small child looking up at the world and asking, "who's daddy?" Your lack of care for his or her happiness is disturbing.

Well get a paternity test to make sure, but don't expect the child to blame the mother. He or she is going to blame you for not being there, and most likely he or she will be disadvantaged because you aren't there. Children who don't have positive male role models tend to fuck up. If you make this choice now, then that is part of the equation. Your child may go to prison, and you're not blameless. You may be the problem.

I think that it has a lot to do with it. You are thinking of yourself. Dads think of their children. You didn't have a dad so you defaulted to the first choice of thinking about yourself, not your kids. There is a cycle of fatherless homes, and you seem to be perpetuating that cycle, because you never had a dad. These are not meant to be harsh words. You seem to not understand what it means to be a dad because you never had a dad.

You made a human being. You are responsible for your actions. Now, you might be responsible for a vulnerable baby's life. If you don't care about the human you created, then you don't care about the human you created. You won't find much sympathy for that view, I suspect.

If it is true that you are the father, then you just created another human being. If you don't care about it, then I don't know what to tell you.

No child deserves to be miserable because of your feelings about a lack of options. I hope that you reconsider when you see the spark of life in your child's eyes.

At this point, I don't think that there is a "academic feminist lobby" at work. Universities are just frightened by any student (of a certain category) who claims to feel unsafe or "invisible."

I have sympathy for the lack of reproductive rights here, but you also made a bad choice. Women have options for a bad choice, but men do not. The choice still sounds bad. Did you wear a condom? You should care about the kid regardless of how you feel about the mother. Try to be a good dad. I wish you the best of luck.

I am deeply skeptical of the men's lib perspective. I think that viewing men's issues through the lens of feminism is a flawed perspective that doesn't approach men, men's issues, or masculinity on their own terms. It's like trying to address men's issues with feminist overlords. But that doesn't mean dialogue or interaction is a bad thing.

I want to show that it is not men who “benefit” from the oppression of women but capital. I want to look at the way in which the…

I would suggest giving her a few days to process the information. Then try to have a conversation that starts with: "So, we both agree that gender equality is the ultimate goal. How can we go about solving both the problems of men and women? How can we be allies here?" See how that goes. If she dismisses men's issues as unimportant, then you might have a pretty significant relationship hurdle. But talking it through might also make the relationship stronger.

I'll bite too. I'll go with the google definition: "Toxic masculinity is one of the ways in which Patriarchy is harmful to men.

You are citing me a 1918 law when universal male suffrage happened for many decades prior. You are missing my point here. If you want to say that women were gifted the vote, well so too were men prior to 1918. That these obligations were later imposed after the fact is a separate issue.

I think that we agree on more than we disagree on. But the two (the vote and selective service) did not go hand in hand until many decades after universal male suffrage. Yes, the male package could include a lot of duties, obligations, and sacrifices, but nothing was specific until the 20th century. "Even that is too much to ask." Agreed. But I might suggest to you that the MRM are the first generation of men actually asking or questioning the expectations placed on men. Many generations of men …

I think that the lack of a challenge was simply men manning up as men always had done so. It wasn't challenged until somebody recognized the societal obligations of men as potentially unfair. This was a burden placed on men, and they marched willingly toward their deaths. But I don't think it was a conscious trade-off for a right to vote. If anything, it was men fulfilling a long duty of chivalry. The vote was kind of meaningless when it came to traditions of self-sacrifice, bravery, and stupidi…

But the civil war draft was very different, IMO. It of course depends on whether we're talking about North v. South, state by state. There were vast numbers of men on both sides who could vote and avoid military service. I don't think many people connected the two things together at the time.

I get where you're coming from, but perhaps something should be said here about emotional and verbal violence that can demoralize men. It's not all about physical force.

This only applies to British men when universal male suffrage followed the Great War (and maybe Canadian men). The Supreme Court ruling, if I recall, also came down during a time of war. Wasn't it like 1940ish? There was no reciprocal duty imposed on men that combined voting rights and military service prior to the Great War draft in the US. Yes, you are right that the connection has grown over time, particularly between 1917 and 1974. But to say that men were drafted with the vote while women w…

It depends on what we count as the beginning. By around the 1830s, almost every state had universal male suffrage without property requirements. Now, in practice, it was restricted to European-Americans. The 19th amendment would happen almost 100 years later, which expanded the federal vote to women, although by that point, many many states had passed female suffrage, and some women land-owners had been voting since 1800.

I think we need to be careful here. This chronology applies particularly to Great Britain and Canada, if I recall.

Your ex is stating one of the many poor justifications, which typically say that men should simply take it, man up, or rely on physical strength. A large percentage of male victims of domestic violence do not fight back. They are taught from an early age that the worst thing that a man can do is hit a woman, even in self-defense. So your example here kind of proves the point. Women have a safe place to go. Men are just expected to take it or sleep in a car. Or, they are expected to "man up," bec…

But that is far more true for feminism. I usually do a weekly search for "men's rights" and most of what is there is MRM or MGTOW.

Yes I do. The basic premise of Marxist dogma is the oppressed working class vs. the oppressive industrial class.
