I posted my story earlier today... nothing has been made live since before I made my post: http://www.everydaysexism.com/ I recommend others with relevant stories add them here... even if they never go live, someone on the other end will know they came in.

In less than a week after her hire, I walked into the office of the man who hired me to quit. I told him it was her or me. He hired me to get a particular job done. He talked me into staying. I decided I was going to stick it out and help the company get through the product launch. If you read the conversation above, we are discussing the ethics of how to treat an employer. This one case is not particularly indicative of how the company has treated me otherwise. I have no idea what you're talkin…

In this case, I agree with her. Guys encourage it. I like having attractive women at the office. I'm guilty. I don't hire under-qualified people because I find them attractive, but I still feel the impulse to bring attractive women into the office. I accept that males have responsibility in this one entirely. If men would stop gifting women in exchange for attention, women wouldn't be able to manipulate us the way they do. It's kinda circular.

We just had a developer up and quit via email with 2 days notice about 1 month before the end of the project. He hurt us a lot. I've always been straight up with my employers. I might have lost a job or two along the way, but things have always worked out.

You really like to put words in people's mouths. I would say that being honest about discrimination is a much better path to equality than denial. I would also say that honesty and transparency is generally a useful thing. I'm a huge advocate for Intellectual Sustainability. BTW - I don't believe in the wage gap.

No. The modern feminist movement is destructive because it embodies the very thing it proposes to prevent. The movement is about female empowerment, not equality. In the process, it is helping to destroy the lives of innocent men and has done so with little regard. It's time to move on to egalitarianism...

I disagree strongly. I've seen many women who would never "whore" themselves out do very well in their careers because they bring skills to the table. Meanwhile, many of the women I know that complain about inequity are the very ones who also take advantage of every opportunity. One specific woman comes to mind. She had just finished a long feminist rant when I mentioned that I was all for equality, I just didn't think it was fair for a woman to preach equality and expect me to pay for dinner. T…

No, they're not... and that's the problem. There are crappy people, but it's not everyone's fault... That's the core of my frustration... I'm living a life with experiences like the one above while my feminist friends are telling me how privileged I am to be a male. I'm not citing this story because all women are evil - I'm citing it because crappy people exist in every demographic... What modern feminists try to do is, at the core, is destructive.

Have you ever worked in the gaming industry? It's the worst... Think about it... gamers cheat.. they like to figure out how systems work and then manipulate them... and there are lots of folks who turn that type of thinking into a company. There's huge turnover and businesses fail on a frequent basis. Projects lose funding randomly and chaos is common. The average time a person stays in this industry, I believe, is 6 years. Even well managed companies in this industry frequently fail. And, oddly…

As a reference, only a few key individual were sleeping with her. However, a great many were treating her as a queen. So, the majority of the higher ranking males who were gifting her to attract her weren't actually getting a sexual return on their investment.

Depends on the frame of reference. The two developers I work with are more passionate about their work than I am. They absorb material faster. I'm relatively burnt out and am not as productive. I largely benefit my company because of the experience I've accumulated. I've launched many many projects of the same nature as the one we're building now. I was given the title of project lead, but we work as a group. None of us dominate and there's a very level feel to the relationships we've built amon…

Agreed.. sorta... It matches what feminists are preaching as "male privilege" right now. For example, if all males were privileged, they wouldn't make up the bulk majority of the homeless. While men may dominate the upper class, they also dominate the lowest class... and feminist don't talk much about that. The whole concept of "male privilege" is really pretty ridiculous... but, using that framework as a guide, what I described above is best described as female privilege.

If you read up on stats other than the 1 figure quoted by many feminists, it appears that women are actually out earning men in the US in many ways.

I'm sorry if this offends, but you feeling that you were smarter than the majority of men means absolutely nothing. I don't know you, you might very well be.. but "feeling smarter" isn't a useful metric... In fact, there's a scientific study that shows that incompetent people usually consider themselves to be more competent than their piers. Feminist frequently quote inequality in terms of pay rates while ignoring why the pay is different. In the recent case of Walmart, there's some validity the…

I strongly suspect that, if you were able to take a statistical analysis, the overwhelming majority of cases would show women being promoted.

In my industry, I believe turnover was calculated in the range of 30k to 60k cost to company.
/r/MensRights26/05/10 06:58 PM

No. I consider being hired and promoted based on feminine sex appeal instead of abilities to be a kind of privilege. Feminine sex appeal often creates other forms of privilege ranging from free drinks in a bar to getting out of speeding tickets. These bother me less as they don't directly impact me. In this particular case, the woman's excessive incompetence put the jobs of about 250 people at risk, including my own.

Just having you acknowledge it makes all the difference in the world. Frankly, it's just nice to have attractive women in the work place. The previous shop I worked in had many, due to the nature of the company and their products. I liked both the eye candy and the energy it brought to the office. But, all of those ladies were there because they had the skillset to do a job... I respect your career path change, big kudos!
/r/MensRights26/05/10 06:48 PM

Well, maybe what they're really upset about is their more attractive female counterparts? I still haven't seen anything that suggest being and ugly dude provides more work related privileged (in the US) than being an ugly chick.

I think it would be easy to dismiss this case; however, I think it needs some attention. The fact that a 10 year old girl can understand how a false rape claim can keep her from getting into trouble is very telling of how our culture is teaching children about gender and sexuality.

I suppose I'm a tad sensitive to the subject since: 1) I've been the victim of a woman claiming I was a father to her child when I wasn't... it was a clear attempt at entrapment and it wasn't until I heard the lies she told to other people that I finally understood what happened. She wasn't even pregnant to begin with. and 2) My brother's wife... well, now ex-wife, was supposed to be unable to get pregnant and they married because she got pregnant (hence the ultimate divorce).

I just looked up the definition of an oxymoron: An oxymoron (plural oxymora (greek plural) or, more often, oxymorons) ("sharply dull" in Greek) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. They appear in a range of contexts, from inadvertent errors such as extremely average, to deliberate puns like same difference, to literary oxymorons that have been carefully crafted to reveal a paradox. So, I fail to see where "kind insult" or "rude compliment" are not oxymorons. They…

I still pretty much disagree. The only thing I can imagine a Men's movement doing is solidifying the duality. If men step up and take a stance of equality... and actually look at both sides of the issue... feminism will exist as a stand-alone biased entity in light of one that is fair and balanced. I think that would pretty much make the point loud and clear. What's the old saying? two wrongs not making a right?

You're justifying the existence of a Men's Rights Movement because of the current existence of a Feminist movement. Inversely, by your own logic, having the Men's Rights Movement will serve to ensure that the Feminist movement will continue to exist.

They were the best links I could find on quick notice. I've read considerably more material on the topic. I read one piece, in particular, that I would have preferred to send... however, I could not find it. =( In my experience, most women are offended or disinterested in the seduction material much the way most men are offended or just disinterested in feminist material. When I first found the seduction material, it was the result of being pressured into reading it by a concerned party. I hated…

I don't follow what you mean by "very little depth and a tragic degree of self-dislike (or at least dislike former self)". The AFC stereotype is a foundation in many venetian arts teachings. Men are typically "proud" to be "kind" to women. Men often don't want to admit to themselves that they're aren't really "kind" at all... that their actions are based on the assumption that they'll be rewarded. It's a huge blow to the male ego and hard to take. A lot of men immediately walk away from the cont…

The original work justified the notion of considering all men rapist until proven innocent. I know many women who do not have this "issue" of assuming all men are rapists. Sanctioning this kind of thinking as "ok" is very damaging. If a woman fears that every male they meet is a rapist, she has a psychological issue that needs to be addressed. However, it is very convenient for manipulative women to use this as a crutch to justify their controlling behaviors. It's easy to rally support for such …

You're mixing up your male stereotypes a little bit here. This is what I was attempting to clarify in my blog post. Have you read it?

What additions am I suggesting? More than anything, I'm suggesting the removal of inaccurate information that is bias against men.

It seems that both sides of this discussion wants the other side to hear their perspectives first... to not just hear but acknowledge. I've had girls ask me to do their homework, buy them drinks, fix their computers, work on their car, or listen to their problems... giving me flirtatious attention in exchange. It's novel at first, even flattering. It quickly becomes annoying. It took me a long time to get comfortable saying no. I still have trouble saying "no" to my girlfriend - even though I kn…

I agree with YesImSardonic here.. if the word was "co-opted" then it should be saved. My true stance is about equality. Maybe you can make an argument about the value of "Men's Rights" today... but 5 years from now the relevance may change. Consider the feminist movement. When it began, women were being treated fairly second class. The movement has momentum and now women are still driving it. To what end? That's the thing, there is no end! Women are never going to step up and say, "cool, we're h…

It's not so much about my agreement as true accuracy. I don't know if there's much that can be done to defend against teacher bias. However, I would assume that there's a selection of materials published for the purpose of teaching gender studies. Note, I'm assuming, this is where I'm not entirely sure where to start. I know with a science book, any publisher is going to be crazy serious about making sure the information contained within is accurate. I would assume that publishers of school book…

I am not an author for men's rights nor am I affiliated with any organization. I don't want to approach teachers, I don't believe that is where the problem is.

It's a victim mentality. They want to identify as being victims and there's nothing you, I, or anyone else can do to change this. They have to decide to change this. Meanwhile, our laws are becoming more and more gender bias and we men may end up finding ourselves oppressed. I suppose that's the ebb and flow of it all.
