It's not that I don't like it, it's just that they've reduced a complex topic (interpersonal communication) into exactly two modes of communication. Walking on eggshells and saying whatever you want. It doesn't matter to me. I don't interact with this person on a daily basis. And, I do have close friends on the spectrum who have this same view. It isn't a big deal, because I know them and I understand how they see they see the world. But I also see the challenges that it presents to them, specif…

You realize this isn't a binary state, though, right? That "walking on eggshells" and "saying whatever the fuck I want all the time" are two opposite ends of a spectrum, and most people sit somewhere in the middle... sort of a "I will think about what I say before I say it, and part of that thought is how what I am about to say is likely to affect those around me" Anyhow, the argument you're making is extremely common for people on the autism spectrum. I'm not being a dick when I say that you sh…

So you feel it's inappropriate to communicate how what someone is saying is making you feel? Do you often feel like you have trouble and relating to how people feel? Do you often feel like there must be cues in social situations that everyone else can read except you? Almost as uf there is this choreographed dance and you don't know the steps? PM me if that's the case.

But in most cases, reality is binary. Kind of, yes, but in any meaningful sense: no. In the same way that I can look at a digital image and indeed be correct that it's described as an encoded series of bits which are ABSOLUTELY binary in state, but as soon as I concede that the collection of many millions of those binary states form a larger picture. The RESOLUTION of the world we live in is so much higher than any digital image should spark something that makes you wonder if considering anythin…

Yeah you didn't read it. Objectively that isn't what she was saying. She was saying that classification mechanisms that we use in physics give undue legitimacy to binary classifiers which can bias us against other forms of classification. This is ALREADY a thing we've known for like 100 years. As I've said, this is already something that we struggle with in species classification. The new slant is that this bias might subconsciously extend into the realm of gender or race, which honestly isn't i…

Well, I'm all for people, regardless of gender, pushing back against "help" when it is without intrinsic merit. A man isn't automatically an authority on video games just like a women isn't automatically an authority on child care. I'm glad this dude is at least trying to teach his daughter this. It's sucky, though, to ever discourage anyone from trying to help others. I think we all must be prepared to gracefully reject help as well as gracefully accept a help refusal.

You can aim to improve a metric without it being the primary deciding factor. Like, having race as a considerable metric is arguably racist, for sure, but that doesn't necessarily make it "mostly" how they decide. I dunno. I'm just saying let's not reward sensationalism and just deal in facts and then expand a discussion based on that. "Is this racist and why/why not" is appropriate. The assertion that this is the primary determining factor isn't appropriate without some kind of supporting argum…

Super interesting leap: women who defied gender norms by being more assertive and dominant Got more incivility ...when men acted assertive and warm — in general, not considered the norm... Got more civility ...men actually get a social credit for partially deviating from their gender stereotypes, a benefit that women are not afforded... I'm interested if this is just bad journalism, or if the paper actually suggests that its the deviation from "norms", rather than actual behaviour that is the be…

Nobody is going to disagree with you that any physical traits are encoded in our genes. Skin colour is not a social construct. Arbitrarily drawing lines and groupings based on diverse sets of physical traits and calling it "race" is a social construct, though. Redrawing "race" lines as tall/short, fat/thin, blue/non-blue eyes, bornBlind/bornSighted, hasCancer/notHasCancer are all valid genetic groupings but we don't use them for "race". There is nothing intrinsically "special" about the genes th…

I have no idea, because the qualities that I'm looking for are not apparent in a photograph. I see the point that you're trying to make, while still being too chicken shit to say. Quit beating around the bush and just say that you don't believe that these women are capable of objectively evaluating facts when a male is accused of sexual misconduct. Then, reflect on the irony of how you're accusing these women of being sexist BECAUSE THEY ARE WOMEN.

Its calculated by looking at the return on investment. Obviously buying and administering 2x the vaccines isn't going to cost 30x. The point is that it's an essentially worthless endeavour because boys are being immunized by proxy. Single gender vaccinations for HPV are really really effective and cost effective. There are mountains of peer reviewed scientific data to support this. If you want to make a case against it, at least make an educated one: gay boys won't see much benefit. Even if you …

I think we're actually in complete agreement. This is why I started with the "you really have to dial in what your objective is" part. Yes, if you're setting out to prove something exists (which is generally considered bad science) then you design the experiment to do that. If you want to find the difference between women masquerading as men, still acting like women vs women masquerading as men but acting as men, that's a whole different thing entirely. Entirely different objective. I'm aware of…

That's a really interesting thought. I guess you really have to dial in what your objective is, because there is a subtle difference between "finding out what it's like to be a man" vs "finding out what it's like to be treated like a man". That being said, to be "treated like a man" (whatever that means), you probably need to be "acting like a man" (whatever that means), and the hormones would play a part there. At the same time, if you're interested in the "treated like a man" angle, it might b…

Well... short of a time machine in which she could alter her own sex before birth, there isn't a perfect solution to the problem of how to gain meaningful perspective on life as the opposite sex. That being said, just because her approach wasn't ideal (because at the moment, the ideal solution necessitates technology that doesn't exist), doesn't mean it was worthless or "illogical". It's a tool in the field of ethnography to study culture by immersing yourself in it. Obviously it's well understo…

In THIS case I agree that men aren't being victimized. I do understand the confusion on this point though. I'm just a dumb white boy trying to do right by as many people as I can, and this shit is confusing. Wouldn't saying "You shouldn't fuck 25 dudes at a party" be slut shaming? How do I know when it's ok to tell women when and with whom to have sex? Up until now I thought it was inappropriate to even make suggestions.

Nope. It says that women have trouble discerning low BS from high HS behaviours. The study further found that ambiguity is a likely culprit, as when low BS behaviours were accompanied by an egaltarian explanation the responses came in line.

"Better" is subjective, sure, but you could easily say "has a higher metacritic rating" or "sells more copies" or whatever. I haven't seen the study, but you could certainly do an observational study and find a correlation. Just because women tend to make better video games, it doesn't mean it's because they're women, that would be causation.

My 2 cents: You might be right about men having it worse, you might be wrong. One way or another, if you say that, it's likely that the remainder of the conversation is going to end up being a "who has it worse" pissing contest. If your concern is that men have problem and you think they should be addressed, it isn't even necessary to assert that men have it worse. You can just say that there are issues relating to men.

You're completely ignoring the fact that many men rally against the same things. Look at politicians, if men's rights were polarised perfectly against gender there would be no issues in fixing laws. One could argue that the group of people most problematic for implementing equality for men are men.

He is probably just a cash cow to both of them? You have literally no basis for that assumption. You've tossed out the 53% statistic several times. I don't think you understand how statistics work. Because 53% of marriages end in divorce doesn't mean that disagreements end in divorce 53% of the time. Secondly, 53% of all marriages probably isn't the best statistic to use, as divorce rates are a function of time spent married. After 10 years, the rate of divorce is around 20%, and after 20 years …

You're actually kind of right... I can't say that 47% of them had that situation and dealt with it. Although, conversely, there is no evidence that this situation would result in a divorce in the 53% who became divorced. The highest cause of divorces in the US in 2004 (and maybe later, I don't know) was extra marital affairs, not daughter-college-funding. So, in a roundabout way, we can say that there is no evidence to suggest that THIS event is or is not likely to result in a divorce. What we C…

Which is what, exactly? You're coming off as someone who has a real issue with women in general.

There is literally no mention of divorce in the post. We don't know that's probably going to happen. You understand that not every disagreement ultimately ends in divorce, right?

It is related, but this isn't productive at all. It's divisive and polarizing. By framing this as a war all you do is entrench positions.

That's not how making a claim, or general logic works. First of all, the onus is on you for making the claim to prove it, not on me to disprove it. Second of all, all it takes to disprove a universal statement is a single counter example, which I have provided. You made a universal statement, I have a counter example. Done, and done.

You are wrong to imply that this is universally true. Maybe in your peer group your friends are really really careful to have an in depth understanding of the character of a woman, and require references before they'll drop a "crazy" label on a woman. Good on them. In many of my peer circles, this isn't the case. If a girl comes on strong and a guy isn't interested, she's "crazy". So, you can't say this isn't the case.

I think if his goal was to re-unite with his daughter, then this is going to make that very very difficult.

I think the major difference between the applied concept of Mens Rights vs Feminism is that Feminism in practice is the relentless pursuit of advancing female interests with only a passing interest in equity or fairness, whereas (in my view) MRAs are looking to advance gender relations to a point of equity and fairness (and no further).

the strains of Hpv vaccinated against are ones that have a strong link to cervical cancer. although men can contract these same strains, they "only" cause unsightly and treatable warts, rather than cancer. as well, the human body will destroy the infection on its own. another thing to consider is herd immunity, by vaccinating one gender for an std, you're essentially vaccinating both. if you have to pick a gender, it probably makes sense to pick the gender who will suffer the most dangerous cons…
