Every so often, we get the question from well-meaning feminists: "Why do you oppose us?" "Why do you attack us?" "We care about men too, so we should work together!" Perhaps answers to these questions might best be found by first looking closer to home, i.e. by the feminists asking those questions putting the same questions to other feminists: An answer to the question "Why do you oppose us?", for instance, could be found by asking the feminist group Object Now why it re-posted the following fro…

Hey if it works it works, my problem is the vast majority of cases where is obviously doesn’t. Just to be clear, I think we basically agree on this - e.g. the BBC dramas that I mentioned (where it doesn't). In the case of doctor who my problem with it is the statement they are making is obviously because of the current push for female protagonists ... Essentially, this was my point about the difference between an inspiring and entertaining piece of drama and a propagandistic 'worthy' film. The l…

The fact is, in media, you should be allowed to be as sexist as you want to be, because it is fictional media. But by the same token, surely you must allowed to be as politically correct / intersectional /progressive / etc. as you want to be, because it is fictional media? I tend to think that audiences can often quite easily tell when a storyline or characterisation has been foisted onto the story because it leaves a confusing and distracting irritant at the back of one's mind. In other words, …

MPs and parliamentary candidates Well, yes, I can see why the idea would appeal to those people. But when I saw Melissa Benn talk about this idea, it seemed very clear indeed that this was not a cynical ploy on her part - this was a serious attempt to address and solve what she considered to be a serious problem in the world - i.e. less than 50% of women being MPs. I'm never quite sure which is worse - someone who sincerely believes that job-sharing is a viable plan (as I believe she does) or so…

You know how in many a relationship there's that one thing that one partner did - either actually or allegedly - which the other one never, ever allows them to forget? The kind where there can be an argument about one thing and all of a sudden one partner (in my experience almost always the woman) out of nowhere dredges up that time when he got pissed and passed out on the sofa and she was left standing in the rain at the train station not able to raise him on his mobile because he though he'd s…

At least two years ago, possibly three now, I was at a talk given by Melissa Benn (daughter of the late Labour MP Tony, sister of the current Labour MP Hilary) where she wanted to propose that every MP's seat - all 650 of them - should be job shares with one male and one female MP representing their constituencies on a 50-50 basis. Completely bonkers. Who in God's name wants to double the number of MPs? How will working only half the time actually work? What do they do on the day parliament open…

As with all things of this kind, it's what they are not telling you that matters here. For instance, when you click through to the original report the Bloomberg piece is based on, the author there mentions this: ... married and single women also earn similar wages. This is surprising since married women may be more likely to have children than single women. However, you will search in vain for information about how many single women were included in the survey compared to married women. For that…

When I was in high school, I was a supporter of feminism because it was supposed to be about equal rights. Do you remember where you got the idea from of what it was supposed to be about? Was it something someone told you, or did it just seem to be what everyone 'knew'? It seems feminism has gone supernova while I was away though What do you mean "while I was away"? Away where? A lot of it was trying to equalize and make it so young girls have diverse role models they can look up to (where all U…

I have absolutely no idea, but I'm replying just because I find your question interesting. Some might say Tony Parson's Man and Boy trilogy (Man and Boy, Man and Wife, Men and Boys). The first book deals with single parenthood from the male point of view; the second with stepfather hood; the third with his ex-wife's plans to move to the US (from the UK), taking their son with her. Others might suggest some of Nick Hornby, e.g. About a Boy or some of Martin Amis's novels, but I'm not really convi…

It could also be true that he's one of the subset of MGTOW/redpillers who tends to act sincerely hostile to women, and the women around him can tell. We've no way of knowing that, obviously, but that's certainly a possibility, yes.

A lawyer at the institute, Pauline Loeckx, told the BBC that in 2017 she and her colleagues handled about 50 claims from men and 60 from women concerning sex discrimination during job recruitment. Interesting that the gap between men and women is much closer than I'd have imagined it to be.

According to the article, Reason 1: "Women with college degrees often choose to work in fields that offer lower incomes ... college-educated women, more often than men, avoid majors that lead to higher-earning occupations" To be honest, you would think that would just about wrap things up, wouldn't you?

Men commit suicide after family breakdowns, as they lose their children, their home and oftentimes the means to lead a decent life with maintenance payments to the very person who took it all from them. It's this, more or less, that I was suggesting was the elephant in the room - an animal that is not so much invisible as covered over with a dust sheet marked "hegemonic and toxic masculinity". It is men's own fault is the preferred narrative when it comes to men's issues and suicide is not diffe…

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "trade-off", but I'm fairly sure the answer would be no. I'm also curious why you seem to think society might not accept a reduction in male suicide rates (that seems counterintuitive to me, but perhaps I've just not quite followed your meaning).

Loss of status is something feminists talk about. I've heard Kimmel talk about this, in a very pejorative sense - though one that is not exactly credible. In other words, while on the one hand it appears that he's criticising men for clinging on to 'status' that he seems to be saying is valueless, on the other, he seems to be doing so in order to make the suggestion that the very same status he's just intimated is worthless should be passed onto women (which if true is incredibly suspect as an a…

If you see a woman walking alone at night, cross the street [... ] If you see a woman being harassed ... Come up and act like you know her and ask if she's OK ... How the fuck is this supposed to work? If minding my own business by happening to walk in the same direction that a woman is going late at night might be perceived as threatening, how is it all of a sudden not threatening to walk up to a strange woman and start pretending you know her and telling her to get her coat?

Feminism is against sexual violence. he experienced it and wasn't sure how to deal with it in light of being laughed at by the audience. Yes, true, but to be relevant to those sites - according to their 'house rules' - I still maintain he would have to had to have made that much clearer and explicitly the focus of his post. To be frank, though, had they not banned him and had they actually replied, I doubt the responses would have been worth reading. Like you, I'm sure, I can already imagine qui…

Beauty and make-up items are the other big example of the class of things women are much more likely to own than men, in some cases nearly to the point of exclusivity. So ... why not just state from the outset that there were two things rather than imply a list of some considerable length? Furthermore, are "Bea…

Compare and contrast. Ezra Klein on Sarah Jeong (my emphasis) To much of the right, it’s obvious that Jeong’s tweets represented anti-white racism in its purest form; to much of the left, it’s obvious they were jokes that anyone with an iota of self-awareness could parse, and the affront taken at them is pure bad faith.

To be fair, the social sciences think they can measure a whole lot more than that, like unconscious bias, etc..

The Duluth Model is the pivotal enemy in these conversations. This was a program developed to reduce domestic violence against women – and only women.

Not suggesting this is something you meant to imply there, but just for the record I am generally respectful of the police and know they have a hard job. I think my point is more that there job has been made harder - if not practically redundant in some areas - by successive waves of policy change from government about what a police force is for and how it should operate. I can't say for sure, but I get the impression that the big thing in policing is some version or other of being 'nice' and co…

"I hate arresting drunk girls. They're worse than men." To be honest, that seems to be the least interesting aspect of this video.

Drugs and hepatitis have really done a number on him. He looks terrible. When I think of how this geriatric bigot and the bigots of his generation ruined the lives of the women in my mother’s generation it makes me sick.

Most authors are women, by a fairly large margin, I believe. That being the case, that would be the argument Shamsie and others use that they're being treated unfairly - there may have been 8 women writer winners of the Man Booker since 1991, but that means there have also been 18 men - about 70% of winners have been men. But maybe more interesting is that women outnumber men as readers of fiction by a significant margin -some estimates suggest that about 80% of readers are women. So ... roughly…

A father gets two weeks at £141, or £282. So fathers get 26 times less – a gender pay gap of 96%. Hey! How come this never gets discussed in parliament?

They evidently believe that feminism is for women and so therefore any criticism of feminism must actually be a criticism of women. Which is arrant nonsense of course. If anyone and everyone who has ever criticised feminism or individual feminists must actually be a misogynist for doing so then that would make huge numbers of self-identified feminists misogynists as well. In fact, it would pretty much make the entire planet, man, woman, and child a misogynist.

I think Norway has the correct approach - you create an all-women's version of infantry and special forces units. That way, it is possible to satisfy the increasingly absurd demands of gender advocate zealots while also leaving the esprit de corps and standards of the primary (all-male) units intact. If and when the commanders are called on to deploy units in the field, they can then simply assign the different units to the tasks they feel they are most able and effective at performing.

May be of interest: You are at an impasse when you hear yourself saying to your partner, "How many times do we have to go through this same thing? When are you going to get the message?" When are you going to get the message? If you are the one behaving like a parent, the message for you is obvious in your partner's unchanged behavior. What you are being told is this: You have no business telling me what to do. And since you are not, in fact, your spouse's parent, your spouse is correct.

Depends on whether you mean Men's Rights as an active movement or the numbers of people who are more sympathetic to what they have to say and are less likely to believe the demonising narrative surrounding them.

You have a good point there - however, two things: 1 A euphemism is "a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing".

Your doctor calling you overweight is perfectly normal and it's also the term used in the BMI scale. This is true - however, the fact that it's a term used by medical practitioners does not mean it's any less of a euphemism for being fat. It is in a health professional's (professional) interest to see a person gain and maintain a healthy weight - if being slightly coy about their being fat is part of that then so be it.

"45% of the Parliamentary Labour Party [PLP] are now women; 119 women MPs in Parliament - absolutely phenomenal."

If you have issues with gender A being way under 50% in some area. that should work with ALL areas and ALL genders. That's a viewpoint I can sympathise with - it's noticeable in education, for example. I would say teaching is a pretty good, well-paid and - more or less - respected profession. At high school level, the split is about 60:40 women to men; but for the younger age groups - elementary schools - that difference switches to something like 70:30 or even 80:20 in some cases.

1) It depends. Within certain radical feminist frameworks, the answer is a resounding 'yes'. They may or may not be in vogue, but there are certainly radical feminist arguments to the effect that rape is a weapon not only of war but also of peace time and that rape is a way to cow women and to keep them from stepping out of line.

A plea agreement called for her to spend at least three years in a mental hospital if judged mentally ill, and 10 years in prison if not. She was a child of 12 at the time; she's a child of 15 now. I think the judgment is correct and not an issue of discrimination. The boys who murdered James Bulger in the UK were treated in the same way.

The “pull out” method — also known as the “withdrawal” method during sex — is being used by twice as many men as a decade earlier. While 10% of unmarried men between the ages of 15 and 44 used this form of birth control in 2002, that number jumped to 19% in 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Is intersectionality the underlying problem with the feminist ideology? No, I wouldn't say so - though it depends on what you think it means. In principle, there is nothing wrong with wanting to improve the life chances of people who are disadvantaged in one way or another - in fact, on the face of it, it seems like quite a good thing. However, for me the problem is: a) with how they define the problem b) what they propose as a solution Neither a) nor b) are specific to intersectionality. When d…

Another great feminist victory against free speech. Exactly. But in the long term, I think this is actually going to turn out to be a good thing. Every time they do something like this, it simply makes more people realise that perhaps there really is something in the arguments of feminism's critics and that they might just have a point. Look at how many people - myself included - had never heard of Men's Rights, had no idea who Karen Straughan, or Paul Elam were, before GamerGate? I'm not even a…

It would certainly solve a lot of problems. I can easily imagine another reason - controversial I know - is that women probably wouldn't trust men enough.
