Non-clickbait summary: A woman sues her employer (the municipal government) because they were paying her less than her male colleague. The case goes through court, the judge rules that it's unfair, etc. Decision says to them, "hey, you have to correct this inequity," and - if I'm reading this right - specifically rules out lowering the man's pay. Municipal government decides to be petty, obstructionist little shits by lowering the man's pay.

It's actually kind of clever as far as ad campaigns go, coding in your underwear is something people do in real life, and also shows off underwear (the product on sale). I actually was confused for a moment and thought the ads were for computers/tech, and I could see how it would make some kind of sense to complain if they were, but come on. They're selling underwear, here.

I've looked at the NSFG numbers myself. There are two problems with attempting to separate conscientiousness/religiosity from the equation (for men): 1) data set for non-religious-raised-non-religious men who were virgins at marriage (what we would like to look at for a "control for religion" case) is pathetically small. Like, three dudes in a sample of eight thousand. 2) the female data set includes data like, how many premarital sexual partners did you have? That's not in the male data set for…

These sound like some wicked sick perverse incentives. Rather than actually functionally investigating rape claims, or refusing to investigate rape claims altogether and handing them over to the police, colleges will instead just keep up their shitty kangaroo courts (because the federal government is threatening them into it) and pay out massive settlements to people falsely accused of rape who got kicked out because of it (since, you know, it's wrong to throw people out of college purely on hea…

For me, personally: 1) Effective protection for men from sexual violence, especially sexual violence perpetrated by women (in the sense that female-on-male sexual violence is more ignored and trivialized in our society, not in the sense that it's more evil than male-on-male sexual violence). 2) Effective protection for men from domestic violence. None of this "call the help line, get told you're a batterer" and "call the cops after your wife stabs you, get arrested" nonsense. 3) Equal treatment …

In your situation, I'd recommend reading a more politically neutral, in-depth book on the subject of "bad men." Feminist stuff tends to treat male evil (that is, evil done by men, which is not necessarily inherently masculine in nature though feminists tend to treat it as so) through a very strong ideological lens that I don't feel is very appropriate or grounded in the evidence. If you are legitimately dealing with a psychopath, you may have read some books on the subject already, but if you ha…

Also, what, was he trying to do the "pull-out" method? Because that's the dumbest/worst kind of birth control technique there is, and somewhat pointless if she's on the pill. The withdrawal method isn't as effective as a condom, but it is, in fact, fairly effective (if you actually do it).

There was a similar story in New York a while back. A woman was anally raped, and under New York law, anal rape is "criminal sexual conduct," not rape, so there was this big hullaballoo (that nobody wound up doing anything about). I guess it's a similar situation here.

Btw, 30-35 years of age is peak sexual market value for men, so chipper up! Completely unscientific graph.

This is the issue that turned me from a feminist into an MRA, I think you strongly underestimate the willingness of your typical person to go along with it. Perhaps there's not the same fundamental emotional reaction, but it plays very nicely into some of the strong moral tendencies of our society: you should treat both genders the same, and rape is very wrong. Some people won't be convinced by it, but it feels like one of the most strongly selfless issues (compared to, e.g., child support or cu…

The better question is: what's the big difference between legal maternal surrender (i.e. putting your kid up for adoption) and legal paternal surrender? We can make arguments about how disallowing abortion is forcing a woman to risk her bodily autonomy, etc, etc, but maternal surrender is much more clearly analogous. We don't make women take care of babies they never wanted, after all.

Economists generally attribute about 40% of the pay gap to discrimination – making about 60% explained by differences between workers or their jobs. 40% of the pay gap. So, 40% of 23%, or ~9%. Not a 40% pay gap total.

Ah, see, that's the clever bit of lumping PUAs and MRAs together into this vague "manosphere" concept. It allows you to use generalizations of one group (PUAs) on another group (MRAs), even when anyone with the least bit of familiarity with the two groups would be aware that PUAs and MRAs do not have a very large overlap, and frequently quite dislike each other (consider r/TheRedPill and r/MensRights; both groups consider the other to be full of idiots).

How does the male get accused of rape if you need to be sober to give consent? Legally speaking, the intoxication requirement for rape tends to be very high, at least in those states whose rape statutes I've read. "Being drunk" is insufficient: you have to be unconscious, paralyzed, unaware, or the like for it to count. Some people (on the other side of this, too) certainly do spread the bullshit idea that fucking a drunk girl who's begging for it is legally rape, but it simply isn't true.

That's why I included "pretty much." It is entirely possible to be an MRA and a modern feminist - with all the related ideological baubles of the latter - but it's rather difficult. I would say that, e.g. Ozy Frantz is a moderate approximation of what such a person would look like (though I doubt zie'd identify as an MRA), and I do think the feminism somewhat worsens the quality of zir examination of men's issues, but there it is.

In order to be an MRA, you pretty much have to largely reject the typical privilege-politics dynamic of feminism and related SJ movements.

Rape is defined as any completed or attempted unwanted vaginal (for women), oral, or anal penetration through the use of physical force (such as being pinned or held down, or by the use of violence) or threats to physically harm and includes times when the victim was drunk, high, drugged, or passed out and unable to consent.

Before 2012, the "federal definition of rape" (the one used by the FBI's UCR; federal law uses the crime "aggravated sexual assault" which is legitimately gender neutral) was "carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will"; this is not the one used by the CDC NISVS.

If 90% of all child custody disputes are settled outside of court, then that is absolutely not an issue of inequality; it is a matter of personal preference and choice between the parents of the child or children, and nothing can be done about it. Nonsense. This is like saying that sentencing tendencies don't matter if 90% of cases are decided by plea bargain.

There is insufficient precision of the data to argue a case for higher male victimization rates. A total of 9,086 females and 7,421 males completed the survey. ~66 women, ~62 men in the sample were the victims of attempted or completed rape in the past year. Chi-square with Yates correction produces a p value of 0.4805. In other words, if there is no difference, you'd expect to find a difference of at least this size half the time.

That connection only exists if those gullible people are serving on a jury. There is a big difference between believing someone's account of sexual assault that they talk about privately or publicly, and believing that account alone is sufficient to convict someone in a court of law.

Women in prison are more vulnerable to sexual assault than men in prison, both from other inmates and from staff, last I checked. (Of course, men go to prison more and longer, but that's hardly much comfort when you've been tossed away.) e: lol at the downvotes. Sometimes, r/MensRights. Sometimes.

Although I do not believe that clothing advice qualifies as "blaming the victim," but rather a well-intentioned attempt to prevent there from being future victims, I don't think it is actually effective (rapists use a variety of selection methods, but there's little evidence for "what she was wearing").

TV Tropes has a detailed page on this subject.

The actual established statistic on rape of women, by the way, is ~18%, as seen in: the CDC NISVS (18.3%), the NVAWS (17.6%) and Drug-facilitated, Incapacitated, and Forcible Rape: A National Study (18%). That includes all unreported rapes (and in the case of the NISVS and NVAWS, attempted; but not in the other) and is based on what seem to be pretty fair definitions. It is possibly too low or too high, but it's about as close as is reasonably possible.

I was kind of sympathetic for it until it got to the part where she encouraged the kid to lie to the police. That's when it passes the threshold from "eh, 16 year old, I can't care too much" to "that's a serious crime, we should use this as a casus belli to annex Canada, as we ought to have done back in 1812." (In case you want to make a point about a Catch-22, the correct solution is to instruct the kid to refuse to talk to the police without a lawyer)

Where do you live? I'd look at local rape statutes, which almost certainly encompass this act, and show them to him. In some places the crime isn't called rape, but rather sexual assault or sexual battery or somesuch, but provisions for the victim being unconscious and genital-mouth contact are generally counted as being about as serious (i.e. "rape in the first degree" or w/e) as physically overpowering and forcing PIV sex on someone.

The question of PTSD (and assorted negative psychological sequelae) in male victims of rape is an understudied phenomenon.

I'd also like to see the laws and the specific statue. But I think the definition of "intercourse" may be the problem, since apparently before it did not count anal/oral sex. Yeah, like, oral/anal rape does not count as rape because of the intercourse requirement, which is what spurred on this legal change. The criminal sexual act law (which covers nonconsensual anal and oral sex) is gender-neutral too, just different for little-to-no reason.

You need to define "sexual act" explicitly. Does groping qualify, for example? Is a nonconsensual fingering rape? What about a handjob?

On the whole "wives murdered by husbands versus husbands murdered by wives" thing, it's worth noting that back in the 70s, the rate of murder was pretty symnetrical.

There may be gendered effects one way or the other, though. Physical abuse by a man might be a greater risk factor than physical abuse by a woman, for example.

Not surprisingly, among those developmental antecedents, one of the most prominent is a history of childhood abuse.

Depends on the state, probably. Girl takes GHB (or whatever), goes out to have sex, and has sex? Not rape in my state (or "sexual assault", the title of our rape statute). Generally from the state laws I've read, rape by intoxication uses phrases like "unconscious" or "unable to resist," so a girl who's completely blitzed can still consent, so long as she does consent. Exceptions exist (e.g. drugging someone's drink voids future consent), but otherwise, no.

I completely disagree. Rape is a crime. It has a legal definition. If your partner beats the shit out of you, it doesn't matter if you call it domestic violence or physical abuse or "they got angry." We could argue about if it's really the state's place to be prosecuting it if you don't want it prosecuted, but the physical fact of the event is the same. Rape is a literal, physical crime.

I understand why MRAs are critical of unacknowledged rapes, but it's fairly backed up by research that what is being measured is the same thing regardless of acknowledgement. See, for example: If She Is Not a Victim, Does That Mean She Was Not Traumatized? The issue of whether individuals can be traumatized by the experience of rape if they do not label the experience a victimization remains controversial. Indeed, there are conflicting findings with regard to the extent to which such unacknowled…

Honestly it was just a quick mock-up. Not really intended to be top-tier aesthetically, just trying to come up with a "can be read very quickly" idea that accomplishes the gender flip effect. Had to think of a statistic to apply it to, even. Don't think it worked out as well as I wanted it to (too hard to read), but, eh. Now I have link karma.

Like this? I think it reads well with a quick-glance incorrect impression followed by a correct inspection. Not sure though.

The key explains the graph is the opposite of what it appears. I was going for a gender-flip graph which was quick to read visually but I think it went too far and it became almost illegible. The key is hard to read, I think, and not something one's eye is drawn to. It's a bit like the stroop effect. Here are some other tries: Text at bottom explaining "Key" directly to left of images Key at bottom left corner Thoughts? Edited to add: Key at bottom left corner, text above images Edit 2: Correct …

lol, the section on rape just talks about false accusations. No mention of rape by envelopment, no mention of the systematic anomalization of male victims in discourse, no mention of the intentional exclusion of them from studies, no mention of even the idea (and limited but real evidence) of gender symnetry in victimization. Funny, the whole reason I came towards the MRM is because of its clear opposition to rape in all its forms, on the basis of genuine science, unlike feminists, who have some…

Is this for real? It seems a little too perfect, a little too blatant. Some of it just comes far too close to self awareness (e.g. the line about him "actually using finger-quotes!" around the phrase "problematic"). I want to believe.

The explicitly stated intent is to focus rape prevention messages on potential perpetrators. It's right there! In the quote! "We hope this well help to [...] focus [...] rape prevention messages on [...] potential perpetrators."

Your quote explicitly states that they are hoping to focus "rape prevention messages" on "potential perpetrators." If we're being charitable, that means rapists.

"We hope this will help to reverse the popular trend of focusing rape prevention messages on women and instead transfer these towards more appropriate recipients - potential perpetrators." Telling rapists not to rape relies on a fundamental misperception of what rape is and why people do it. It is like telling child molesters not to molest children: it simply will not work. Rapists have a pathology. They are not "normal" people. There are probably circumstances under which normal people will rap…

Because same-sex victimization is often distorted by institutionalization. Since men are more likely to be institutionalized, the greater degree of male-male sexual abuse is likely an artifact of that. Mmm, fair point. I don't agree with your conclusions (rape as hate crime seems to be more strongly male, for example, and IPV combined with male homosexuality being more common than female homosexuality would also be a contributory factor), but okay. The survey you're using requires self-reports o…

If you exclude same-sex victimization the margin is 10-5%. A) I don't know why you would exclude same-sex victimization. B) No? The CDC NISVS would put rapist distribution at ~50% men raping women versus ~40% women raping men which means women rape 20% less. Gamez-Gaudix and Straus's 2009 study stated 1.8% of women with an opposite-sex partner physically forced sex (PIV, oral, or anal) on their partner in the past 12 months versus 2.4% of men. This would get an estimate of 25% less. I'm not goin…

He says that the perpetrators of sexual violence are most frequently men. Assuming this is accurate, it's okay to state it, but it should not be used to trivialize the matter of female-on-male rape. If this is inaccurate, please enlighten me. As far as the stats I've seen show (Gamez-Gidaux and Straus's 2009 study, CDC NISVS, etc), yes, men are the primary perpetrators of rape, though not by that large a margin. However, bringing it up when discussing male victims of female-perpetrated rape is j…

Noting that the list was not actually created by the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Kelly Starr, a staff member for the organization, said that the list was intended to provoke thought, not laughter. Really? Every time I've ever seen that list I've laughed a little bit, because it's pretty funny. I don't know how little of a sense of humor you would have to have to not laugh at the thing, it's absurd. I like the rape whistle one especially.

The report is expected to ask, for example, why female-dominated caring professions such as nursing and childcare are paid much less than male-dominated construction jobs. Really? Hmm, I wonder why nursing and child care are less paid than relatively high risk, intensive physical labor. Probably sexism.

Guys can get erections under all kinds of circumstances. I dunno why some guys have trouble with it when drunk/high/whatever but others get raped when they're drunk/high/whatever. There doesn't seem to be any research on cause in a quick googling. Some girls have vaginismus but others get raped. shrug

at least if males do it anyway Oh, no, they do it for male victims/female perpetrators too. For example, the CTS2 includes a "sexual coercion" scale and sorts the following into verbal coercion: insisting on sex without a condom; insisting on sex when the partner did not want to; insisting on oral or anal sex; threatening the partner to have oral or anal sex; and threatening the partner to have sex. This scale was used (and sorted this way) in, for example, "Childhood and Adolescent Victimizatio…

SAVE claims the law is biased, noting in a fact sheet titled “Seven Key Facts About Domestic Violence” that “female initiation of partner violence is the leading reason for the woman becoming a victim of subsequent violence.” In other words: She was asking for it, officer. This is so astonishingly and blatantly dishonest that it loops around into self-parody. Jesus Christ. How can a human being write that sentence and not realize how full of shit they are?

Coercion is a word that I used to have nothing against, then I read dozens of studies on "sexual coercion" and now I hate it. It represents everything wrong with the world of rape research. For those not familiar with the research, "coercion" is basically used to obfuscate all evidence. "Verbal coercion" is an overall category including everything from threats of death to threats of serious harm to abuse of a position of authority to blackmail to nagging to cajoling. "Physical coercion" is an ov…

Actually, if you're raped by a woman, you can be forced to pay child support to her. See, for example, S.F. v. Alabama ex rel. T.M., 695 So. 2d 1186.

Ugh the studies she cites draw a giant == sign between rape proclivity and actual rape rates. This is fucking stupid, and I'm sick and tired of it. For those curious, "rape proclivity" basically involves asking "hey, how likely would you be to rape someone if you knew you would not be caught? 1-5, 1 being 0%, 2 being greater than 0%." and then filing everyone who answers 2+ as "potential rapists". I'm sure if you ask about "how likely would you be to murder someone if you knew you would not be c…

I know this sounds a bit like victim-blaming... but have you made it clear that these girls' behavior is unwelcome to them? Obviously several of these women are behaving in a flagrantly predatory manner (and so probably won't stop even if asked), but from your description there are a great number of them and most of them haven't done that kind of thing. I don't know, it might at least reduce the number of women stalking/creeping on you.

Yeah, there's two major problems with this idea: Firstly, Kanin did not use failure to pass a polygraph as a reason to file a report under "false." Polygraphs are actually not that accurate a determinate of credibility, so that's totally fair. However, the use of the threat/reality of a polygraph test/failure did lead to several cases wherein the women admitted to fabrication, either before, during, or immediately after the test. Further, Kanin pointed out there was little evidence to support fa…

You know if these were the other way around there's no way that anybody would call them "misandrist." It's ridiculous. "Men murdered at 4 times the rate of women, must be because of misogyny!" Also some of these are actively wrong, "all men are rapists" and "statutory rape is okay when it's woman on boy" are derived from fucked up ideas about male sexuality, not from anything to do with the womenfolk*. *: okay, excuses for female child rapists are partially determined by ideas about female sexua…

Psychology basically pathologizes any behavior that's not "normal" and serves in huge part to reinforce social norms against deviant behavior. HSDD, SPD and enmeshment are three decent examples of this phenomenon. Psychological studies are pretty cool and often reveal interesting facets of human behavior, but the DSM-V is full of so much shit it's ridiculous.
