Given that this article is from the Daily Mail, it is necessary to ask, are they? Every now and then I see a feminist talk about the rising rape epidemic, even though, like all violent crime, rape is on the decline and has been for a while. We must not make the same mistake.

The feminists are objecting women being depicted as sex objects in a professional setting - like we object to men being depicted as buffoons or neanderthals in domestic settings. Those aren't equivalent at all. Being sexy isn't bad. Being stupid is.

That leaves nothing You overextend that much and it is only necessary to provide a single counterexample. Tumblr user just-smith self-labels as feminist and is clearly not a man-hater. Should you reject that one, Elizabeth Brake seems decent. Christina Hoff Sommers also gets a lot of positive press around here, aside from her occasional foray into traditionalism, and she self-labels as a feminist (though admittedly she doesn't seem to caucus with them).

feminism has been the cause of all these issues. Don't be a retard. Most of the issues are caused by traditionalist attitudes which are older than feminism. Feminist policies have exacerbated some of men's problems, but blaming everything on feminism is ridiculous. Aside from the actual man-haters, feminsists' only crime has been their failure to deconstruct their own traditionalism.

I think you're misinterpreting. The bit you quoted is conflating women and feminists. The article quotes Zimmerman talking about criticism of women to support its tangent about what "feminists are doing right or wrong". They're not deflecting criticism of misandry with misandry. They're shying away from criticizing women. Modern feminists are wary of traditionalist backlash. They want to leverage chivalry and the women-are-wonderful effect.

1st order intuition says CDC found 1.1% annual rape rate, so a college with 1000 students should expect 11 rapes. That would suggest an upper bound on reporting rate around 5%. 2nd order adds some more considerations: NISVS got 1.1% for completed and attempted rape. Completed rape was only 0.5% annual. I'd expect lower reporting rate for attempted rape. This reduces surprise. NISVS was a random telephone survey of the general population, IIRC. College students socialize among a larger group, mee…

45 percent of all colleges with over 1,000 students -- a staggering number of colleges -- reported zero rape claims for an entire year. Feminists are right. Those numbers are extraordinarily unlikely. They could be the result of adjudicating rape claims in-house and only reporting the ones that got to the police. This is yet another downside of kangaroo courts. More problematic, every sexual assault allegation reported in the survey was uncritically accepted as an actual sexual assault and none …

The base rate of feminists in the population of women is about 23 percent. Furthermore, the acceptance of female violence against men (and violence against men in general, relative to violence against women) is a widespread problem in our culture, and in no way unique to feminists. Feminists would have to be more than 4x more violent than the general population of women for the odds to break even.

Yeah, but the best strategy is the one with the highest expected payoff, not the one with the biggest payoff if it works. We could potentially coopt the feminist political engine to pass the ERA.

No amount of administrative chicanery can solve that. The only reliable fix is to record the sex act (audio would suffice). It is my preference that such recordings be made and controlled by the people involved, rather than by the government or school administrators.

Feminization This mound of woo: We need to be aware that a man’s empathetic skills differ from a woman’s. That difference is part of the set up for the polarity between the sexes. That polarity keeps the dynamics of a relationship vital. Without that polarity, a couple sometimes melds to be one, which is at least boring and often stifling. A boy who is raised to be like a girl never gets to embody that polarity. He never gets to feel the inherent tension between the sexes. He never gets to strug…

The whole point of the MRM is that men are being victimized by the government and legal system in a malicious and systemic manner, and it is feminism, not tradtional gender roles, which is to blame. On the contrary, the government and the legal system and society had been victimizing men and women for hundreds of years before feminism came along.

When you ask them anonymously and directly, they report that they didn't report a rape to the police or any authority which would be reasonably expected to forward rape reports to the police. People are less likely to lie when guaranteed anonymity and asked directly than they are to simply not go down to the police station and file a report. This is not a difficult concept.

We are perpetuating the idea that there is a litmus test that an outside party can use to determine if there was consent. The idea that such a litmus test exists is the entire basis of prosecuting rape when the perpetrator doesn't confess.

I see a lot of comments that have been censored. The question is, were they questioning the lack of concern for male genital mutilation, or were they even more blatant jingoist nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment than the comments that haven't been censored? With the censorship, of course, it is impossible to know. But from the outside, Britain is starting to look a lot like Japan from Ghost in the Shell, and I find that mighty creepifyin'.

Your source doesn't define "joint possession" (and I'm not going digging for it in mobile). Also, even if you go through the expensive and stressful court battle, you only have a 56% chance of having any custody at all, from your own source. Those are not good odds, especially considering that the ones who went to court were the ones who thought they could win.

So, you're telling me that a woman who has had a drug-induced abortion told you the experience was similar to the ones she has during menstruation?

Drug-induced abortion is a painful, bloody, 4 day long mess. I am led to believe that some few unlucky women have periods like that. It sucks, but it's not an invasive medical procedure. You have no idea about what price women pay. It's more than 300 effing dollars. Right. Thus the chipping in on counseling. I have it!

An abortion is only necessary if whatever form(s) of birth control you are using also fail. Everyone outside of pro-life advocacy groups seems to think abortion-related infertility is extremely uncommon. Here's the British NHS's page on it. Other sources suggest that the types of abortion with the greatest chance of causing infertility are the sort that would only be used if you waited pretty long into the pregnancy to abort (which would be unlikely if abortion was your last-line birth control).

I'm sorry, but this really isn't a black and white issue. Firstly, circumcision isn't nearly as bad as female genital mutilation for a slew of reasons. You can't equate the two practices. I'm in full support of men's rights but on this particular issue there is a huge difference. Male circumcision doesn't inhibit you from having sex, and as far as I know doesn't reduce the pleasure gained from having sex. You could almost say female genital mutilation turns women into property and entirely subve…

"Really the only option is to admit that you are" Is a pretty arrogant and close-minded statement.

I'll admit that you're correct in your statement that doing anything in an attempt to circumcise the vagina is probably construed as FGM. But FGM is most-often harmful and designed to be oppressive.

The argument isn't about what she 'deserves'. The argument is about what results in the fewest innocents languishing in prison.

The "next of kin" has a good chance of being one of the parents of the rapist. They've already raised one rapist, and you want to give them the chance to try again? If they're not one of the parents, then they're probably someone in frequent contact with the rapist, so you'd be raising a child in an environement where they interact with a rapist on a semi-frequent basis.

I'm not the one claiming that a man should be responsible for the mistakes of a woman because he knew that there was a possibility that she would make them. I'm not the one ignoring the fact that OP's partner accepted responsibility for contraception by reassuring him that she was infertile so that he would agree to have sex with her without a condom. Sometimes, the responsible outcome is abortion or adoption. An unwilling father is hardly better than no father at all. (Note: I tried to find sta…

if you consent to sex you consent to the possibility of a child being born. Unless you're a woman, in which case you consent to the possibility of becoming pregnant. If you're a man, you consent to the possibility of a child being born, but not not to the rights or obligations of fatherhood. That can only come intentionally.

Whether or not he was an ass is dependent on quite a few things. I apologize for questioning your experience, but you may be analyzing it with a traditionalist mindset.

No forced abortions were suggested. Having a baby is not a risk of sex (at least not with very high probability; apparently abortion actually fails very rarely).

But if you control for hours worked, and anything else that it would make sense to control for, what if it comes out to 2-4%? That could easily be sustained by the difference between "rational self-interested" actors and actual business executives (desire to maintain pretense of egalitarianism, actual bias, etc.).

a father has no authority to assume custody if the mother wants to abort I really don't see the problem with this one.

Abortion? Does she want a child? Do you stay with her and help take care of the child that you helped create? Or do you book it? Do I want a child? First there was no birth control, and no safe abortions. A pregnant woman was forced to endure great physiological stress, and likely spend 18 years and a great amount of money raising a child. The father faced no such obligation. It wasn't fair. It was biology. Then there was child support. The father was made to shoulder some of the financial burde…

Unfortunately, domestic abuse often comes down to he-said/she-said unless there is some kind of recording or hospital record. So for the emotional bullying side of things alone, this kind of automatic arrangement isn't going to be pretty. I was talking about voluntary custody; no person should be required to accept less than equal time with their child, unless they agree to a lesser arrangement (with full knowledge that equal time is possible without extreme legal hassle), or there is good reaso…

Feminism has been an academic discipline for at least 50 years, and seems to have become part of the culture in academic language and literature departments as well. There are regional differences and lines of mentorship that encourage factionalism, and journals and conferences to create a nomenclature for it. The men's rights movement, in contrast, is younger and exists largely on the internet.

Yes. I said that above, along with puzzlement about how we'd achieve it practically in our hyper-connected culture. Agreed. The recent social-networking gag-order violation incedent is an example of what could happen. Censuring persons who reveal the names of alleged sex offenders before a guilty verdict has been reached would help, but I am not certain it would be fully effective. [...] default shared parenting or joint-custody does not work well when both parties are not cooperative [...] Give…

I have never known humans to make rational assessments of risk.

FYI, a "misnomer" is a name that belies the nature of what it actually represents, such as an "Assault Weapons Ban" or the "USA PATRIOT" Act. I think you want "misconception".

Clearly, they all believe themselves to be better than their fellows. Clearly, some of the are gravely mistaken.

Indented paragraphs work well in books and columns because of the short line length. For a wider format the extra space between paragraphs really helps.

This is why they call themselves the pro-choice and pro-life movements, rather than the pro-abortion and pro-forced-motherhood movements.
