I wasn't a "misleading title" but a misleading title. I had nothing to do with it. I don't now anything about https://www.reddit.com/user/NixonForBreadsident. He seems to have pretty high karma, though, much higher I ever will.

How on earth is warning about a misleading title trolling? Are you insane? Yes, I didn't include every detail. But there is no rule that every post should include every detail. You didn't include ever detail above.

Ther is a big, very big difference between, say, handing out condoms in schools and forcing people to use them. Or handing out books or forcing everybody to read them (besides I'm pretty sure they can't and won't distribute the books the way they dream). And I'm not leaving because of this even if I probably gave that impression, sorry. Just wanted to do something good on my way out.

I was heavily downvoted. Yes, I did an experiment and wanted to know how high a totally misleading post would get even when it was told that the title was fabricated. That means that I didn't want to be too helpful. Nevertheless, it doesn't look good; over 200 upvotes and the top position for a post which was a) fabricated and b) a fact that could have been easily verified and c) several people warned about it.

Probably true, and also probably true for non-modern and non-democracies too. Nope.

You don't have an example ofa democratic government that would have tried to force the students to read a political book. If we changed the issue somewhere along the way, please tell me where that happened.

I've heard grim stories about the British school system (for some strange reason I read several Jenkins(?) books as a kid). Anyway, I doubt that you can force, say, 15 year olds to do anything. Unless you live in a dictatorship - or, for example, in early modern Europe where people who didn't know their bible were given sanctions. "Learn Kim or God or we kill you." In western democracies, not so much.

They won't have that. It's just a book they (certain Swedish and international, like the UN, organizations) wish the schools will hand out. Some will take the book and some will even read it, a small minority but nevertheless. It's disgusting feminist propaganda, don't get me wrong, but it's not going to be a part of the curriculum. It's like a pamphlet ... about condoms or whatever certain organizations like deal out through schools

Actually, kids aren't forced to do anything in Swedish schools. If you come from a country where kids can be forced to to read political books, I'm sorry. But don't project your experience to what's the practice in western democracies.

Nobody's forced to do anything or even accept the book. That should go without saying unless you confuse Sweden with North Korea. Yes, it's stupid and that's why I believe most of the book will be forgotten in closets or destroyed. There are a lot of private schools and sane teachers and head master in public schools too. The influence feminism has within certain Swedish organizations - and even the government - is nevertheless amazing. And I live in a neighboring country that is in many ways ve…

Read the article. It's not aggressive to assume that people read the article the title links to. Besides, it's out of this world to assume that any democratic western government would force everybody to read any modern book, let alone a political pamphlet. What will happen is probably that they'll ask schools if they can send so and so many copies. If the school says yes, they'll send the copies and hope that at least part of them end up with those students who want to have the book. Perhaps a f…

"Forced, "every"? LOL. Why spread lies, are you a wannabe feminist? Don't believe the title, it's not true. Hell, they don't get the pupils to read even the math books in Sweden (referring to the PISA, sorry). Anyway, even the fact that they can afford to hand out a copy to every 16 year old proves once again that there is a lot of money behind the feminist propaganda.

In Finland Amnesty had a campaign against domestic violence (in other words, against women). They ordered a campaign song from a popular female duo. The song tells about a woman who got beaten again and again and finally killed (or murdered?) her batterer. So, let's fight violence by giving an example how to fix things. I wonder how many women followed that example.

It's more like a productivity issue. Stars earn millions and the long tail pennies. Supply can be in other words whatever and it doesn't affect the star's earnings. She makes millions because she's the best and there tends to be little reason to watch even the second best, no to mention the 500th best. If you are, on the other hand, something like a truck driver, your productivity (wage) tends to drop when more professionals enter the field. Not so with stars - until a new star arises and challe…

I think it's pretty apparent that both men and women want men to be more stoic than women. This stoicism is a resource particularly in stressful times. But it can eat you up if it's on your shoulders to show that the life goes on. Of course also women can and do act in this way. But it's not expected from them as much. What about gays? They seem to be less stoic on average but naturally most of them still follow the norm of a stoic man who remains an "emotional anchor" for children, women - and …

Wages - or, rather, earnings - mirror productivity (better than anything else). And productivity on an individual level has nothing to do with the genders. Some people are less productive and some more, some are women, some are men. Women have two "handicaps" as a gender, though. They make kids and can't work as strenuous jobs as men. Then again men have several handicaps: they are less educated, service job employers don't want them (most new jobs), men have damaging stereotypes imposed on them…

The sorry thing is that feminism has destroyed so many reputations and good causes: if the UN can lie like a feminist, can I trust anything it says? The same goes for many other organizations and government departments. I don't understand how these organizations fail to see what kind of a risk it is to flirt with feminism in the long run.

People can be discriminated against because of more than one reason, for example for being a single man and Muslim. "Intersectionality". Then again, perhaps Canada isn't directly discriminating at all but favoring instead. To favor all but single men doesn't sound so bad if you take into account that in Europe over 60% of the immigrants (or "asylum seekers") are men. So, perhaps it's good that somebody is helping others.

Its pretty ridiculous to claim that men have a bigger carbon footprint when women consume several times more than men. And all production is for the consumers at the end of the day (think VAT if you don't believe me). If you go to any mall and you look around you'll see mostly stuff that only women or women mostly buy. It so ridiculous to claim otherwise that the idea must come from the masters of silly theories AKA the queens of factoids. You know who I'm talking about.

Female prisoners are more likely to have suffered abuse. More than half (53 per cent) were sexually, physically or emotionally abused as children, while 46 per cent have experienced domestic violence (mainly at the hands of men). So, 47% didn't know how to play the pussy pass game.

Conscription is something else – it includes everybody and entails the use of force. Well, no. In peace time it includes only about one third of each age group in turn. And you can decline without any repercussions. Obviously there are scenarios where Norway has to start conscripting men and even women who earlier had declined. I don't think those scenarios are likely, though. Norway is a NATO country and its defense isn't based on large conscription armies but smaller but better equipped and tr…

Men have one major privilege: work and career. And even that isn't a real privilege because it means less leisure. Feminists think that men have many more privileges but, hey, they are feminists. In fact, all "male privileges" are privileges of the elite. Both men and women can enjoy them, a small number of them. Or they are anti-social behavior - like cat calling - and both men and women can be anti-social.

I'm pretty sure that rape is considered the second worst crime by the public. But if you think about the consequences they are on average below the crimes like assault, trafficking, kidnapping, domestic violence etc. Hell, often men and women don't even know if they have been raped even when they have been according to the law, particularly men. That's why I think that those law makers - in Europe, for example - who have legislated most rapes as quite minor offenses are more right than the "publ…

I was just reading news. In Finland there was a man who sexually abused a 10-year old over ten times, got 2,5 years (if he's a first timer and behaves, he'll serve half of that). This doesn't sound right either - then again it's a "she says - he says" so there is a (slight) chance that he's innocent. That's why something like 10 years would be too much in my opinion. But 2,5, incredible! If he manages to stay alive as a child rapist in jail, of course.

"I do not understand the motivation of those who want to dismiss male domestic abuse as a non-issue or pretend it does not happen," says Brooks. Probably you do, but don't want to say it. It's the mechanism all hate movements use and have used through centuries. Feminists, like, say, Nazis, must have an enemy that is vile and powerful and who oppresses and threatens "us". Much of the momentum the feminist movement has would crumble if men weren't beating up and bossing around women in their home…

There are (almost) no charities for men in any other field either, but a lot for girls and women plus for women who are family planning, pregnant or sick. So, domestic violence is no exception. A charity consult once said: "It's girls and women people care about". His advice for those who wanted to get their hands on big money was to concentrate on them or at least see to it that the charity had a female face even if it gave money to men and boys, too.

I listened to a men's hour program on the radio some time ago. It wasn't bad (but bad and ignorant enough so that I stopped listening to it after a couple of episodes). The men in the studio discussed social problems men face. They weren't feminists, pretty reasonable experts in their fields actually. And they seemed to have true compassion. But all through the program they avoided framing the problems, like homelessness, as men's problems. One of them said, for example, that the big problem wit…

Women earn in a year on average about 20% less (depending on the country). That's mostly because women work about 20% less. Then again that's the full time workers only. Women work more part time. Taking that into account would make the difference in earnings greater. But all that is pretty irrelevant. If women want to work less and somebody's willing to pay for their consumption - that's probably many times more compared to men - who am I to condemn it?

Rape culture seems to be pretty unknown in most western countries. Wage gap is true if earnings are compared - which is unfair but nevertheless. What's special about DV propagand is that most or all governments actively lie even though it clearly is a very harmful. And this has been going on for decades if not longer.

Women have different incentives, they have more freedom to do what they really want to do - kids, friends, shopping and stuff. That's why they tend to end up lower than men.

The biggest "war crime" the western allies did was not providing enough resources for the concentration camps and sending soviet or alleged soviet citizens "back" to the Soviet Union and often to their death. The soviet side, on the other hand, was given a permission to kill and rape civilians, even children, and not only German civilians. There is a reason why totalitarian dictatorships are considered morally corrupt.

Feminism used to be part of the enlightenment movement: all men were equal and thus the same human rights were supposed to belong to all men. The two big political movements were born: liberalism and socialism. Both movements had soon within them a "feminist" branch, that demanded that the new liberal or "rational" view on men should be applied to women as well. Still in the 19th and early 20th century this was by no means self evident. Nor was the idea that every man should have the right to vo…

The same way women and men can have - and actually do have - different inborn tendencies. The fact that men, for example, don't behave exactly the same way in all cultu…

There are a lot of such studies, I've read a few. A huge problem is that the shooters usually end up dead, so, very little remains to be studied. One study I'd like to read would concentrate on what's different between the USA and such - otherwise similar - countries where school shootings are rare. Schools and youth culture seem to be more confrontational, so to speak, in the US than in Europe, but that's just my impression.

The gap in earnings exists in every country mainly because men are more work oriented and thus, among other things, work more. That's something she didn't seem to know. How big a risk women are to a an employer depends mainly on how long time mothers are allowed to spend with new-born kids on company's money or even tax money. If the time is long, there is bound to be a stronger bias against employing young women.

You didn't notice that she was making a prediction. Bad, feminist thinking. Hell, even if wages are truly randomly distributed between men and women, there is likely to be some degree of a gender wage gap because random is random (though this could swing either way).

Many of the key elements of the feminist narrative are not true or they are true only in some very strange and often immoral context (like when they say, for example, that false accusations aren't a big problems because all men contribute to the culture that encourages men to rape women).

A woman says: "I feel bad and I think its because of my gender". Our culture answers: "Sounds like something we should look into". Those are the roots of feminism. A man says the same thing. Our culture answers nothing or perhaps even ridicules him. Those are the roots of MRA. That's why feminists don't care if it's true or moral what they are saying; almost everything is considered legitimate by the culture. So, why spend time on such a trivialities as facts and ethics.

I'm no clever economist, but I guess you'd start off with the premises, of course, like in all statistical analyses. You can't study anything scientifically if you don't know how to classify your data. In this case you could have data classified as "reported rapes", "false reports" and "actual rapes" (e.g. forced penetration) . Then you should find a sample (a group of people) which is representative of the whole population and can be split up into the classes above. That, I suppose, is where yo…

Game theory says that men are pretty much an answer to what women want them to be. This is a bit too simplistic but I don't have time to paint the whole picture. But in short men look at what works with the largest number of women and adapt to those expectations - if they are interested in having sex. Unfortunately most men are are more than they probably should be because that makes men women's puppets, so to speak.

That difference reflects something that leads to huge social issues. Like, why do men compete with each other much more than women? Why do we want women to be better off? Why are men's roles so tight and women's so lax? Really huge questions at the heart of men's rights. (Because most men like most women, find them attractive, while most women like, find attractive just a few men.)

In Europe it started as an eugenics projects in countries like Sweden where race could be a contributing factor when forced sterilizations were decided on. Then German scientists, in particular, wanted to know what races there are in Europe and elsewhere. This was done partly with "soft" methods (like trying to describe "national souls" or tracing the movements of "races" back to history) but mostly by measuring skulls and other body parts. Of course, in the end these two approaches had to be li…

This is probably as true as the classic "women and children are 14 times more likely to die than men during natural disasters" - which is so silly that even feminists should be ashamed if they only knew how. And yet you'll find it time and again in official papers of organizations like the UN and EU. Why it's silly?

Here's the police saying that in 2009 over one fifth of rape accusations in Helsinki turned out to be false. And here's a news story about the FB page of the police where they are alarmed by the increase of false accusations. Two thirds of the investigated rape cases in the 2014 turned out not to be crimes or the accuser had dropped the charges. Both in Finnish only (and machine translations crappy, be warned).

What's the probability that a rape accusation is false in a particular case if there's no definite proof? The only reasonable way to determine the likelihood (up to beyond reasonable doubt) is Bayesian: "the Bayesian probabilist specifies some prior probability, which is then updated in the light of new, relevant data (evidence)". So, let's take this scenario: A police woman hears a rape accusation in a particular case, say, when a neighbor hears a drunken brawl and the police woman, when arrivi…

When they still had public executions in Europe women were seldom killed because it caused unrest among the public, said one of the foremost historians in Finland. Likewise, torturing women was forbidden as a general rule when it still took place (although the rule was not always followed). Suffering of women - and children - is hard for us.

So many people believe that women used to be much worse off. That's why it sounds like a good idea to have at least some arguments against that simplistic view.

It could be that potential serial killers in Finland get caught unless they are nurses - or mothers - and they tend to be female.

We have monogamy as a norm. That prevents the kind of exclusion I was talking about. Many men not getting access to sex and family is not the only reason of violence, though. But in history it has been a problem that has to be addressed somehow, though. Otherwise it will lead to an unstable society. Monogamy is one solution. Another is an unbalance in the number between men and women. Wars can both decrease the number of men and give the survivors access to women.

I've seen studies on that. One compared monks to nuns and found a difference of two years (if I remember the figure correctly). Many point out that boys are more likely than girls to die of diseases. But it's very difficult to study because women and men tend to live different lives.

I often put some sugar in gravy although less than they do in many ethnic cuisines. Hating feminine traits in men proves that women usually are very picky and don't want men to be feminine. Men pick up this preference because they compete for women. This can easily be proven by comparing hetero and gay men. Among the latter feminine or not-so-masculine traits are much more common.

The last time I checked Health was the only category that worked the way you describe. That's because they assume that men are biologically determined to die younger.

Women's hypergamy or the biological tendency to favor mostly high status men is pretty toxic. At least it's been something that most societies have been trying to deal with. If a minority of men have the majority of women the resulting society is likely to be pretty unstable unless the worse-off men can be terrorized into obedience.

Moreover, women make more decisions as consumers which gives them a lot of power (what is sold and what cities look like, where people live and so on). They are usually the gate keepers of sex which gives them power over men. They have on average more power in families. Their roles aren't as strict which gives them power to choose how to live their lives. And so on.

Not true, for example U.S. parents (mothers) request girls far more (70-90%) often than boys, even when more boys than girls are waiting to be adopted. This trend to prefer girls is as least 100 years old, probably older. Google helps you a long way but remember that in most cases the sex can't be chosen. That's why it may seem that girls are preferred just a little. But in truth, when parents can choose they choose girls.

The quality of life is much worse for men on average. This is a scientific fact. Most people seem to know this on some level but the modern western society acts as if was the other way around, that women are worse off.

I haven't written much here but I still thought I knew that "/s" meant sarcasm. Perhaps not. So, let's try again. This is sarcasm: a huge problem compared to, say, Euro crisis or jobs vanishing abroad. It's just so stupid that the EU's feminists are concentrating in something so unimportant and nonconstructive.

In case someone edits the entry here's the feminist version that inspired me: "The “women are wonderful” effect is the phenomenon found in psychological research which suggests that people associate more positive attributes with the general social category of women compared to men. Related to ambivalent sexism, this effect reflects an emotional bias toward the female gender as a general case. The phrase was coined by Eagly & Mladinic (1994) after finding that both male and female participants te…

You could ask your wife if she thinks that a woman can be raped even if she got wet. Perhaps that clarifies to her how physical processes aren't always voluntary.

I just read Jesse Bering's "Why Is the Penis Shaped Like That and Other Reflections on Being Human". There are studies indicating that (at least young) women are a lot more psychologically aggressive and and vindictive than men. Girls apparently learn to survive in this hostile environment partly by overemphasizing the need of consensus and good will. Perhaps that's why women's discussions are more about bonding than disagreeing and competing. From this perspective male discussions and the like …

Boys think - mostly unconsciously - that becoming a man means courage and an ability to control one's violent urges that are often needed when protecting the weaker. That's what they're practicing. If that's taken away we'll not have feminine, angelic man-creatures. Instead we'll have violent men ducking responsibilities.

Finland, for example, doesn't suffer from "rampant feminism". Feminists have a firm grip of power - but only in certain limited fields ("wage gap", violence against women and the rest). Media have their share of feminists but they are quite few and far apart. Sweden, on the other hand, is worse but feminism isn't rampant even there.

Women (or men) don't have to reveal their gender on Wikipedia. This fact makes many feminist claims in the comments of the article strange to say the least. If a woman feels harassed because of her gender why not use a nick that is gender neutral? Because this is obvious, all those feminist comments beg the question what's really going on. My guess is that women often simply feel uncomfortable in male dominated surroundings. The ways of communication are different and women often feel "othered" …

Let me put this here: renting an apartment is very difficult for (young) men. I've wondered why this problem usually doesn't appear in any lists of discrimination men face. After all, it's very telling and forces men often not to move out of home or to live in bad neighborhoods. According to studies I'v seen the same stereotype affects young men when trying to get a job. In many branches, particularly female dominated, it's hard to get even to the interview if you're male.

In Finland (for example) a longer paternity leave for men is one of the top feminist issues. The reason they give is to expand the male role and give women a more equal status in the job market. Fine. But it also means that men's job market status is going to be weaker. Can men take it, the ordinary men, not the kind of alphas feminist seem to fantasize about?

Patriarchy is a sexist idea that has few links to what really goes on in the economy or elsewhere. But it's possible or even likely that certain male traits do contribute to the wealth distribution without having anything to do with patriarchy.

Ok, then that was my sexist guess. But as I said: it's hard to say what a "matriarchal economy" would look like. There are a few and they are poor but that doesn't prove much. Then we know that among the self made rich there are very few women. Does that prove that women are less interested than men, have less motivation? Ah, it proves I,m sexist, I already forgot. ;-)

Hard to say. The dynamics of economy tend to depend on entrepreneurial men, not women, who make fortunes and create wealth. If men were removed form the picture perhaps women would take their place. My guess is not. Instead we would have a more equal distribution of income and wealth but a less vibrant economy, less wealth created. Why? Because women seem to have less motivation for whatever it takes to become rich.

What about the "consumer gap"? Women don't earn as much as men but they consume something like three to four times more than men. That's possible mainly because men give women money. Earning is hard work, consuming is fun, at least women seem to think so, so who cares about the pay gap?

Through most of the human history women who have had sex have taken a big risk of losing much of their survival capabilities for several years (because of the exceptionally long and "difficult" childhood of the homo sapiens children) That's why women have a strong urge to test men: are you going to take care of me and our baby while we are vulnerable.

Isn't gender an arbitrary--and sexist--category? Basically the premium is based on gender just because the insurance companies know it by default. And they know it because people are not objecting to telling their gender. One's IQ or family background, for example, could predict better the risk but that's something the companies don't ask. Perhaps because they are not allowed?

Women are afraid of violence more than men. And the same way as men they are more afraid of men then women.

If wars are typically something people do when backing off or fighting and losing means a terrible catastrophe (your kids dying or something like that) then it's demeaning to claim that women don't fight.
