Jesus, I would absolutely disagree that your gender makes you a psycho...that is handled by your complete lack of mental balance apparently and has nothing to do with gender. The guy was clearly making a joke. In fact I would say it was more than a joke, it was clear satire based on the article posted here. He was making the exact same broad generalization based on gender that the author did, not to mention the above commenter had made a statement (also satirical) listing multiple female murdere…

Doesn't matter. They would say that because he now lives in a western society (I am assuming he is white and in a European county or America) and is white that the oppression he dealt with previously is a false comparison as their oppression is continual. They would say that while he may have previously been thought of as a minority and oppressed, because he is now in the dominant power group of white males that he was endowed with that privilege the moment he stopped being oppressed.

It depends on the state, but there is really only one question that matters. Did you, even once, pay for any doctors visits for her prenatal care, or any prescriptions for her pregnancy? In addition have you ever had contact with the child at all, or spent any money in any way related to the child or the care of the child? If the answer is yes, even if only $10, depending on the state, it may not matter that you have paternity evidence as that is all it takes for some judges to rule that you "ac…

Fair enough. Many people have taken a deontological view of ethics. I myself lean towards deontology. But I can't deny that situations exist where consequentialism gives a more just outcome. Its the old kill 1 to save 10,000. question, and there's no right answer in the end

So you have stylistic differences, what about content. I easily could have picked any of hundreds of situations in which violence is justified, I went with that because of maximum familiarity, and maximum emotional impact. It was a rhetorical choice based off an appeal to ethos and pathos. If you're going to attack my post how about putting some more thought into your critique than what is expected from a 7th grader.

Violence is not always wrong. A scenario to prove to you that violence is not absolutely wrong and to claim it is, is ethically naive. You are on a business flight early one morning, you are anxious to get the trip over with as you want to get home in time for your wife birthday later in the week. It is Sept 11 2001. A commotion at the front of the plane, suddenly a man appears speaking in an Arab type accent announcing they are hijacking the plane, you'll all be fine so long as nobody gets in t…

None of that will happen stop being dramatic. The cops are unlikely to even take the report in the first place. You call and IF they come out (may blow you off on the phone) they say "its not our job to mediate between you and your girlfriend. We don't take reports on domestic issues without violence involved. If you can prove she did it you'll need to take her to court for damages". I have seen it too many damn times to count. Of course if you trashed her stuff there is no problem taking the re…

It varies wildly state to state, some states require a certain number of attempts to have the person claim their property. In Washington any property left in a dwelling after moving out is considered abandoned after 30 days, the landlord has to make a public notice of intent to auction (or dispose of) the property in a manner where it is likely the owner will see it prior to taking action. (disclaimer: it has been 10 years since I read the landlord tenant act and these requirements may have been…

That is choice. Opportunity, and in fact quotas, have increased significantly over 7he past 20 years in STEM fields for women. Yet the rate of women pursuing STEM careers hasn't changed a but. The UK ran a program designed to get more women into the sciences in which it was required (I believe this was just at one university) that 50% of spots were given to female applicants, the program was widely advertised, and then it had to be shut down abruptly.

Well I think it is going too far to say that those shoes demonstrate "health relationships" but I think they demonstrate the fact that modern men, men raised by women and denied male role models at all turns while being told men are "pigs" and "think about sex every 7sec" and "can't help but objection women", these modern men have no concept of what a healthy relationship is.

I agree with 99% of what you said. My one sticking point is that "feminism does some things that are harmful" (or something to that extent, I can't see your original post on my phone). if you removed the word "some" from the sentence we would agree 100%. I truly and passionately believe that feminism, in its current incarnation of 2nd wave feminism, is harmful in quite literally all of its supported positions.

Wow, a little bit of an over statement there. There are many, many species in which the female is the primary aggressor in mating. In no way are males more dominant sexually across the whole animal kingdom, that isn't even true for all simians and apes. This double standard is likely linked ti the traditional gender role of males being the primary sexual aggressor, and part of that role is biological (though I am unsure on how much is. I would guess it is mostly socialized). However another larg…

I agree that the women behaving badly sort of stories (such as that cited by OP, though I also believe we should ban ANY article from that worthless bigoted rag the Daily Mail) do have a place in the MRM discussion as it challenges the stereotype that only ken can be violent or sexual predators.

Not someone who gets hurt a lot, someone who experiences chronic pain. Someone who gets hurt a lot experiences multiple episodes of acute pain, short time-limited bursts of pain signals that subside relatively quickly. On the other hand people with chronic pain such as; arthritis, fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia, spinal stenosis, etc..., have a constant lower intensity stimulation of pain receptors (nociceptors) lasting for a minimum of 6 months. This constant stimulation of nociceptors leads…

While it can vary state to state I can tell you with 100% certainty that this is a myth born of sexism which believes women couldn't possibly succeed in a "man's job". it is the same sexism that keeps men out of education and nursing, simply applied differently.

Here is my problem with the position that having sex with someone you know to he intoxicated to the point of vomiting is "negligent" or in any way criminal, it is a gross over simplification. If a guy were stone cold sober and picked up a woman who was stumbling down the street poking drunk and slept with her, yeah that is sketchy ay the minimum and possibly criminal.

That isn't what I read, but if that is in there than it would be rape. What I read was that they wanted him hard, he refused to have sex with her which then prompted them to begin torturing him with pliers. The article makes an odd non-sequitor right then where the boy states he didn't have an erection, but I didn't see that statement linked back to a report of the girls stating they were using the plaits to give him an erection. If i missed it I have missed it on two different read throughs.

It wasn't rape. Rape Involves sexual touching of the genitals that is the motive For the touching has to be of a sexual nature. In this case, while the original motive was sexual when he refused the motive clearly became torture and inflicting pain.

It is a rape because there is no sexual touching up the genitals. In this case the touching was meant to be torturous rather than sexualmisconception in nature which makes it sexual assault because the original motive of the crime was sex but became torture when he refused

Because the framing of the argument matters. While I disagree that discussions of privilege are unproductive I do think they should be limited and focused. When you focus the discussion on "that group has these privileges over me and as such are sexists/racists" then the end goal automatically becomes bring the other group "down to the right level". Similar things can occur when focusing on discrimination, but the discussion is more likely to lead to a goal of building the disadvantaged group up…

I don't see how there is any doubt that feminism hurts women in some significant and disgusting ways. I hate to make it a competition of "women are hurt more by feminism" or the opposite.

No. The point of this post is this campaign focuses too much on men nor too little. The campaign has a great purpose as child abuse is sickening, but it ignores the majority of child abuse perpetrators which perpetuates the feeling that women can't be violent which leads to claims of child abuse against women being dismissed or ignored. This campaign, while a good purpose, actually makes it easier for perpetrators of violence.

Nobody would ever suggest forcing a woman to abort, or not hat I have ever heard at least. What I would love to see is a period after conception where a man has the chance to opt out of involvement with the child, at which point he is freed from all financial responsibilities but also loses any parental claim to the child. After a man exercises his reproductive rights to choose to be a parent or not, the woman would have the chance to exercise her identical choice and choose to abort or not. It …

Just because it gets discovered more frequently doesnt mean it gets reported more. Prisons lose funding if they have inmate violence problems so there is a culture of ignoring violence or simply not reporting it. That is in addition to the fact that not only is at least 10% of the sexual assaults committed by prison staff, prison staff actively encourages inmate sexual violence as a form of prisoner control. All this has been widely studied and reported in the past. The rate of unreported prison…

The statistic of 1 in 6 is first, not realistic and defines rape in extremely broad terms to increase the reported cases, and second is the number of women that have EVER been raped in their lifetime.

The state is 100% justified in removing a child from parental custody in a situation such as this. A 4 year old cannot defend itself, and it needs someone to advocatenfor it. The parents in this case are of suspect parenting ability, not saying one or both of them are not good parents but certainly there is reason for concern and investigation. If they placed the child with the father and all of a sudden that kid disappeared as well you would likely be calling for heads to roll, and rightfully s…

That isn't true for the vast majority of states. I don't know why the myth that age of majority is 18 keeps getting perpetuated. The average age of majority (consent) in the US is 16. Washington has a screwy tiered consent structure where age of consent is 15 years old plus 36 months until age 17. It is, to my knowledge, the only state with that kind of tiered structure. Most states are straight up 16, some are 17 and only a couple states have 18 as age of majority.

That argument could be used if he had stated "women believe" but he stated "feminists" believe. You see, you can argue that making generalizations about a group that doesn't have any central organizations to define viewpoints, such as groups of certain racial make-up and genders, but when a group does have such central organization it is perfectly acceptable to make statements about what "they" believe, because they have a platform that they work from and certain tenents of their organization ar…

OK, now go onto NOW's website and find me any position they are currently focusing on that is beneficial to mens rights. You see the "theory of feminism" is a far cry from the practice of femnism. Feminism as a movement is anti-male at worst and indifferent to male problems at best.

They already do this in washington state. Any call for domestic violence, whether made by someone involved or a neighbor, by law must result in an arrest. Anyone arrested for DV assault IV automatically is issued a temporary order of protection to prevent them from having any contact with the victim until the first available court date, which often times takes weeks. This means that unless the victim willingly leaves the house the accused cannot go home for any reason. Now, as we all know, men a…

The stats are very difficult to obtain because they either relay on crime reporting or self report surveys.e In crime reporting data you have the obvious problem that 1) men don't report it when women sexually assault them 2) women are often charged with non-sex crimes when they are caught.

I never meant to imply a difference between poor men and poor women, just that the power differential was never based on gender but rather on class. Men were just as discriminated against in the lower class as any woman, and higher class women had a lot more rights than poor men. Of couse there were the big issues, voting, property rights, legal protection and being considered legally equal to a child. Those have been fixed and any discrimination toward women in this day and age is either very m…

Yeah, not to sound like a dick but you're wrong. Number obe, men do not sign away parental rights prior to the birth of a child very often, and in the few cases when it happens the contract is thrown out. Prenuptial aggrements are hardly ever upheld in their entirety. Often preset dollar amounts for alimony are changed at will, and it is almost universally known that custody requirements in penups are not upheld. I know many lawyers that wont even write them into the prenup because they feel it …

You clearly have a lack of understanding about US contract law. Number one point, we have something in US law called an unconscionable contract, that basically states that if a contract is signed that society would deem as being unfair or wrong in some way than that contract is void. This is often used to argue that a contract giving away parental rights to a yet unborn child is not possible and those contract are voided by the court. This occurs all the time with prenuptual arrangements. Also t…

Rape actually occurs more often in county jail systems than in prison, its just in prison it is normally the gaurds. Clark county jail in southwest washington is considered the worst jail in the country and has a high rape incident.

The feminist movement and their precious "rape culture" has painted all men as potential predators.

Why not, other crime victims have to prove that they were victims, especially at trial under cross examination.

She is just as responsible, but she gets 100% of the choice about the situation. How is that a fair situation? If a woman can choose to have an abortion when the man wants a child, which I completely believe she should be able to, a man should be able to opt out of parental responsibilities prior to the birth of the child. That way the woman is able to make a fully informed decision about what she wants to do. This also will save money and time in the court system as well as a ton of time in chi…

She doesn't have to take the risk that is her choice. However it should absolutely be his choice to be involved with the child either as a parent or financially. If he chooses not to have any. Parental and financial role, then she has every bit of information she needs to make an informed decision about having the child.

First in my view a financial abortion should have a very limited application. I think that it should not be available after the child is born. I feel that once the father is notified that a woman is pregnant he should have a certain period of time in which to decide to be involved with the child or not. This means that the woman is able to make the decision to keep the child, adopt it out, or abort knowing all of the information about financial support. Ok, so on to rape. I don't believe that it…

Also the gender bias in judicial sentencing and family court. Those are much more significant issues than the death toll of men vs. women, IMO.

Drugging is a violent act, no longer date rape. Sex with an unconscious person is an obvious violation of a person. As far as pushing booze at her, she is choosing to drink that booze. If a woman says yes while drunk she is consenting, just as a man is consenting under the same circumstances. Gender equality is the goal after all. .

But the ages that are chosen are not very good lines. IMO the line should be set at 13 years old. Anyone above 13 is able to give consent. I didn't choose that arbitrarily either. That is the age that, in most states, a male child is able to be charged as an adult for a crime. That is because we believe that by 14 you are able to know the difference between right and wrong. If we argue that a 14 year old knows the difference between rigt and wrong, and can be held accountable in a criminal court…

The wage gap is non existant. When you take people with equal experience and training in similar job positions there is no gap. The wage gap numbers that are reported are lifetime earning, and women take time off to have children, often not working for years, which skews the numbers against women.

"Absolutely true. It is wrong for a woman to molest a boy. HOWEVER. It's nowhere near the same as a male molesting a girl or a male molesting a boy. There is a different scale.

It is anti-neofeminism. The new feminist movement is about the subjugation of men, and there is no denying that.

The double standard is that ANY male accused of the same crime would not have his identity protected for any reason.

It actually isn't rape, that is a general misconception. If a woman is so intoxicated that she cannot make a decision it can be rape, but that is generally mitigated if the man is also intoxicated. That law is meant to protect women from predatory men that will ply a woman with alcohol with the intention of making her incapable of making a decision. To call two intoxicated people having sex rape is an insult to real rape victims and should be aggresively discouraged by all men and women.

Many women have been misinformed about what rape really is and would misjudge certain situations. This is how false rape accusations happen, and they do happen all the time.

no, an erection is a physiological reaction to touching of the gentailia. If I (a big burly man) rubbed your cock while you were sleeping you would get an erection. It may go away when you realized it was me, but it was uncontrollable that you got it. Many women get "wet" during a rape, and some even orgasm. This does not mean the sex is consensual, it is just a physiological reaction to the act of genitals touching. Ceratinly a man can be raped very easily by a woman.
