I agree with what you're saying. Men are naturally expected to be able to solve their own problems, women can attract attention and help by talking about theirs. It is a forever unequal situation and will remain so. ​ Not sure if I would have used the 'Intactivism' flair though.

Your attitude seems very blinkered, as if you do not understand that society's rules have to apply to everyone, not just you and your friends. Adult sexual exploitation of children and young people is real, it happens to both girls and boys, and it can do lasting harm. I used to work with a lad who was seduced by an older woman (in her twenties). It screwed his education up as he couldn't cope with the emotions it unleashed, or I think, with being her plaything. The law was never involved but it…

I agree with the posters who say not to bother arguing. Your sister is never, ever going to let her little brother change her mind, so chill out. Any other course will lead to pain, anger and frustration for both of you, any other siblings, and your parents. She will likely goad you at some point, so look at it as an opportunity to practice being calm in the face of unreason. That will probably annoy her more than anything else.

Most men aren't mad, tired of the endless nagging, yes, young men especially, sometimes to the point of disengagement. As for roles being reversed, I'm waiting for women to hold back from the lifeboats so that men and boys can be saved first. Like Hell.

Since you are in a position to talk to your boys before they ever end up in the situation you are worried about, I suggest you help them develop their thinking skills. Tell them of your concerns by all means, without overdoing it of course. Tell them how society has changed since you were their age and listen to what they tell you about the social world they move in. Remember that many young men have a natural sense of invulnerability and a willingness to take risks, that makes it harder to list…

I bought this book, and I highly recommend it. It helped me understand why my mother, who was born in 1917, was still angry with the suffragettes in the 1990s. She was brought up in a family where the father had fought in WW1, and the level of disrespect that suffragettes had shown for the sacrifices of men, their disregard for property and the safety of working men, their entitled and selfish attitude to who should have the vote, had all been part of her upbringing despite being born after most…

A great many women, in my experience the majority, find it very difficult to accept vulnerability in men, especially a man they look to for guidance or protection. This is regardless of what they may claim and I don't see much point in telling them if they are close to me. When I have done so it only seems to damage the relationship and cause friction. I have reached a point where I see this characteristic as probably a natural part of being a woman, and certainly a trait that is beyond my power…

The kind of selfishness you describe in your girl friend is unlikely to change except out of necessity, ie you will never reason her into being fair. From what you say you know exactly what you are getting yourself into, you know where this is going because you know her background and you are aware that she is mistreating you. I would say that in asking the question you actually already know that you are in an abusive relationship.

Some choices you have: Continue as you are, deal with your own feelings quietly. Speak up and be as honest in class as you are here. Absent yourself from the class. Actively disrupt the class e.g. play on your phone or ask uncomfortable questions, 'Yes Miss, but what about the female teachers who take advantage of underage pupils, did they have consent training?' Passively disrupt the class - Fall asleep, then when roused say, 'It's all right I knew all of this shit already.' Yawn persistently. …

If she really is smitten with you then no way was this an accident. She might not even be able to admit it to herself, but this is one of the deepest drives human beings have, and if it feels right then many women will pursue it regardless of any prior agreement. Whilst I agree with your reasoning regarding assault, I maintain that expecting any sort of equal treatment in this area would be utterly unrealistic.

" A girl I’ve been involved with a number of years and know very well has recently fallen pregnant." ... decided to get pregnant. "We’re not together officially even though we only sleep with each other so the child is mine." You believe you only sleep with each other, but you don't know.

Perhaps your unhappiness is a sign you are telling yourself you need a change of direction rather than a cancelling of your own existence. Maybe you are better in practical areas rather than academic, and maybe you can return to academia later on. Most of us make big mistakes at some point in our lives, and sometimes later on they don't look so big if you learn from them.

From what I have seen the guidelines are an exercise in begging the question, ie they knew what they were looking for and made sure they found it. Their approach is ideological, complete with appropriate jargon.

You have come the the MensRights subreddit to talk about feminism. There is a certain irony in that. Your posts are full of feminist talking points and feminist bias, assuming that differences and inequalities must inevitably be down to men acting against women or women being disadvantaged.

You're absolutely right. I witnessed this in the case of a friend going through a marriage break-up with involvement from social services in the UK. Every so often the wife would make some sort of allegation against him, the most serious being that he had raped her. On being challenged she would have to admit that what she was alleging had not happened, but there was no comeback on her whatsoever. It was as if she had said nothing and people were pretending it hadn't happened. It was just the sa…

As soon as you recognise emotional manipulation you can exercise the freedom to ignore it, and by that I mean the freedom to throw the whole lot out, disregard everything coming from that quarter and assert your right to make your own mind up without reference to someone else's dishonesty.

It sounds as if this is a case of someone making an accusation to avoid the consequences of their own actions. If the woman thought that she might get in trouble for destroying the packages, that could be the motive. If this was the case then asking the firm to look at the timing of the accusation might help clear your name. Was the accusation made before the woman found out that she should not have destroyed the kits? If it was made after, then appeal to your company to consider the possible mo…

Read the article, he isn't joking. "Acknowledging the brutality of male libido is not, of course, some kind of excuse. Sigmund Freud recognized the id, and knew it as “a chaos, a caldron full of seething excitations.” But the point of Freud was not that boys will be boys. Rather the opposite: The idea of the Oedipus complex contained an implicit case for the requirements of strenuous repression: If you let boys be boys, they will murder their fathers and sleep with their mothers."

An interesting double standard is illustrated here, between men and women who seek or 'achieve' the having of sex with underage, post-pubescent children.

Sentences for manslaughter often seem inappropriately light. I knew a man who killed another in a drunken one-punch brawl, he got less than three years. A friend of mine was killed by a man who dozed off at the wheel - he didn't even go to prison. I'm uneasy about the sentence in this story, but I don't think it is just because she is a woman.

Why report behaviour to anyone if you can sort it out yourself? I have found it far easier to negotiate difficult behaviour by pointing out precisely what I am talking about, giving actual examples that pertain to that person, than labelling that behaviour as stereotypical of a group. We don't interact with groups, we interact with individuals. If, during a tense conversation, you make reference to a person's behaviour as being typical of a particular group, you will increase the emotional tempe…

Generally speaking I look at the behaviour before the sex of the person. Linking behaviour to an entire group of people is not going to help in a specific situation, but then identity politics isn't about solving anything. When I had a problem with a female coworker's treatment of me some years ago, I took her aside, had a calm one to one private conversation, and precisely described what it was she was doing that troubled me. I did not resort to inflammatory labels, like 'toxic', and we sorted …

The problem with discussing phrases such as this, is that they are inherently manipulative. It isn't like discussing a factual issue, 'toxic masculinity' is a judgement, so anyone using the phrase perjoratively has already made their mind up. I don't want to take up the dishonest weapon that feminists use to beat men over the head with, I would rather discard it and discuss real issues.

No, resources are not just economic. When I say that men have always had to perform, or going back further in time that males have always had to perform, this performance is also a resource. Willingness to use superior strength to protect and provide is a fundamental resource, no amount of civilisation or ideology will make much difference to that. Yes, it is an exchange of resources. No, I am not blaming women for human nature. I think it a fault in reasoning to not acknowledge human nature, wh…

I find your post interesting but think you are ignoring some fundamentals, and that actually women in general cannot help being attracted to resources. It's natural, and is to be seen in species after species. Males have to perform, not always in the exact same way, but if they don't, they don't get to reproduce. It's not the same for females, who are nearly always the ones who are being competed for. A woman, especially a Western woman, can choose to compete in the workplace or to focus on her …

The paper doesn't appear to show any awareness that a woman initiating divorce proceedings, where she knows she will get the house, the kids and a sizeable chunk of her husband's income, has an inbuilt incentive to claim greater dissatisfaction by way of emotional self justification.

From the article, a figure that illuminates the staggering results of gynocentric laws, "An analysis of the official Spanish government figures raises two issues: firstly, that in 826,616 cases between 2005 and 2012, the accused, all men, were found to be innocent. And, secondly, that the vast majority of the complaints were based on Article 153 of the Criminal Code, namely that the woman reporting her ex partner had not suffered any physical harm."

The last sentence of the article, "If not motivated by extrinsic rewards, like young men, what is it that motivates young women to do well in school and to pursue a university education at higher rates than young men?" I would expect the answer to be found by looking at changes in teaching methods, lack of competition and physical exercise, and the decrease in the number of male teachers. Education has become a feminised environment and that disadvantages boys.

Letters From a War Zone by Andrea Dworkin is like being repeatedly punched in the face by a mad woman. Gyn-E-Cology by Mary Daly is bonkers, but makes an interesting contrast with anything by Marinetti of Futurist fame, as he was probably the sort of man Daly detested (even more than the rest of us). The Manipulated Man by Esther Vilar is well worth a read, highly recommended for not pulling any punches about the way things are between the sexes.

Part of the problem here is that the accused always answer the police's questions. If you say 'no comment' to everything, then despite the threats of your silence being held against you in court, you have deprived them of the opportunity to fabricate evidence against you from your own testimony. The chances of the CPS going forward with a prosecution are greatly lessened if you keep your mouth shut, and if they do you still get to be defended in court. A police interview is THEIR GAME on THEIR T…

This is a perfect example of the gender empathy gap.

I find this subject fascinating and challenging, the more I think about it the more complicated it gets.

I wonder if paternity fraud as a civil offence carries any meaningful deterrent, but as a crime? Yikes. The whole subject feels like tugging on a loose thread from a jumper, even more so than legal paternal surrender. The one advantage to testing at birth would be the short circuiting of some of the complications from finding out later, but I too am wary of compulsion.

Do you have any thoughts on paternity fraud itself? You keep bringing it back to a matter of individual trust, but as I said, if the test is performed at divorce and paternity is discovered to be different to what was supposed, what then? Now that we can definitely prove when a man has been raising a child not his own, what do you propose we do about it when we find out? Should a woman who has deliberately deceived a man into spending his life raising a child that isn't his, be held accountable?

Maybe, maybe not. Given that Mary Shelley was Mary Wollestonecraft's daughter, I don't see why anyone should think she would have lacked the talent. After all, I doubt that the attraction between her and Shelley was only physical.

I think you are missing what the writers of this type of article do. First they build their case, in this instance with a frankly ludicrous reference to a toddler displaying anger, and this is used to illustrate an issue which is applied to all young men. Then they prescribe the solution to the diagnosed problem, which will focus on their ideological approach and disregard any factor which either challenges it or cannot be explained by it. Any acknowledgement of problems, in this case young men …

This type of article all share one feature - whatever the problem, the root of it is always located in masculinity. The message, repeated over and over, sometimes with humour, sometimes concern, sometimes exasperation, is that masculinity itself is fundamentally faulty, not femininity, no, that is the victim of masculinity and never to blame for anything or the cause of any harm, ever. If men ever achieved anything good, then it was only because they were holding women back from doing a better j…

As the article points out, the children concerned cannot be prosecuted because of their age, so questioning them as suspects is not 'combating abuse'. Questioning them as witnesses with regard to the adults involved in their lives, the adults who should be looking after them and protecting them, might be a different matter. No mention is made in the article of the involvement of other professionals in these cases, doctors, child psychologists, social workers, etc. We also have no description of …

Beware of Barnardos if you are in the UK. All men are suspects in their eyes, and now it looks like they are targeting children. I no longer trust them at all, after seeing how they have handled a situation involving a family I know. I don't doubt that there are cases which go beyond childish curiosity, but I think that organisations like Barnardos and the NSPCC like to stoke up moral panic, as it's good for business.

A close friend of mine was pressured into getting a vasectomy two years ago, when his sex life with his wife withered away to nothing.

This is like the ongoing discussions about due process, it's the principle that counts not the individuals in any given situation. I don't want any man who was circumcised to be unhappy, I simply want baby boys to have the same rights as baby girls. In the same way that due process is not about the guilt or innocence of any defendant, the right to bodily autonomy has nothing to do with how any individual feels about their own circumcision.

"The anti-male circumcision movement likens the procedure to genital mutilation ..." Obviously it's not really mutilation because that could only happen to girls.

From the letter to the ALI director and council published in the blog, "ALI should be cautious of proposing criminal statute language that is intentionally left so ambiguous as to be subject to “evolving” meanings." This gets at the heart of the feminist approach I think, whereby they seek to turn heterosexual sex into a minefield.

Look after yourself and concentrate on the positive sides of your relationship. Don't try to change her mind, don't argue with her educate yourself and share with her if she asks. In my youth I had to accept that the differences I had with my mother, which were over religion, would never be resolved. I gave up getting into fights over it, went my own way, and we got on a lot better after that.

The story as reported implies that the first student was emotionally attached to the teacher, and that was why he stopped having sex with her when he heard about her going with the other student.

First we need to know what actually happened, then we can determine what that means. What it won't mean is that I accept any sort of collective responsibility or guilt because I am a man. As for feminism having a legitimate grievance, I don't see how, even if this was groups of men targeting groups of women, since no one in the wider culture is accepting or condoning the behaviour.

Farrell is writing with a focus on men, but expresses a desire for a 'gender transition movement' which would go beyond feminism and mens' rights. He feels that we have to redress the imbalance in gender issues, which have been mostly focused on women, before this can happen. I recommend his book for two reasons - i.

I predict that the gynocentric ideas behind this law will be severely challenged when the reality that coercive control is at least equally perpetrated by men and women, begins to become apparent.

I'm rather fond of the byline for the MRA-UK blog, it says, "challenging public incredulity on men's human rights", which sums it up perfectly. OP's article is a great example, the writer seems to find it impossible to focus on any of the issues, even when he cites lists of them. It is as if his mind is incapable of processing the idea that issues, which if they affected women he would have no problem in accepting as worthy of discussion, when they affect men become somehow devalued, as if men s…

The video is pretty comprehensive, but to answer your points: Silence is not a waiver of your rights, although silence, 'no comment' and a refusal to provide a explanation you later rely on in court, can be interpreted (in the UK) in some circumstances to imply guilt.

The article didn't say he refused to jail anyone, although he does seem to express sympathy for aggressors rather than victims. "Judge Botting said strong sentences judges were required to hand down in relation to alcohol-fueled violence ruined the life of the aggressor, often drunk but “otherwise a hardworking and decent citizen”, and did not serve as a deterrent. “Let us call it what it is: society’s revenge,” he said. “Don’t let us sanitize it by calling it a deterrent.”"

This article is a great example of how difficult people can find it to accept a woman is guilty of heinous acts, and is therefore deserving of the same punishment as a man committing the same crime. The husband doesn't want his wife to go to prison despite TWO murder attempts and a fake 'do not resuscitate letter'.

I have met decent police officers both in my private life, concerning various incidents I've been involved in, and in the course of my job, sometimes investigating clients of mine or their associates. I've sat in as an 'appropriate adult' as well. I have known a lot of people who have been on the wrong side of the law, and most of them acknowledge that the police are no better or worse than anyone else. It's the power differential that counts, especially when you're a suspect.

When a false allegation leads to prison time for the accused, it only seems just that the accuser should also lose their liberty for a period, followed by supervision in the community. This should stand for men or women, regardless of their parental status. Justice needs to remain blindfolded (not that it ever has been).

Once someone has made an accusation against you, almost any contact you have with them can be construed as some sort of harassment. No lawyer would get involved in contacting an accuser. If they text you keep the text but don't reply.

I think the behaviour harks back to our distant past, when loss of resources could be a direct threat to the tribe. Empathy and reason go out the window if we allow the emotions we feel when we perceive a threat to take over. The feelings are extreme in a natural way, but we rise above them through education and civilised legal processes. All those feelings are still there in each of us, easily aroused to their old function, which is why I believe the erosion of due process is so dangerous.

There is no reason to suppose that domestic violence has ever been predominantly from one sex to the other, that women did not display aggression towards men because men were "in charge". That would be an anachronistic assumption. Likewise, when you refer to, "... the original feminist movement (I mean the one that got women voting rights, rights to work equal jobs, etc) ..." you seem unaware that you are stating beliefs and assumptions, not facts. You are free to have and express these beliefs,…

Providing a woman who has given birth to a child she feels unable to care for, with a safe way of giving up the child, is humane and practical. Giving men legal paternal surrender under the threat of homicidal violence would not be. Howabout we rise above the adolescent level, of complaining that life is unfair?

I don't think that discussion of legal paternal surrender belongs anywhere near this story. This appears to have been an act of vengeful violence, by someone with no conscience.

This is not a men's rights issue. There is no debate to be had as to whether a man can have the legal right to force a woman to give birth, while we have legal access to abortion.

Disengage. You do not have to respond to emotional manipulation. If someone knocks on your door trying to sell you religion, would you feel obliged to speak with them about their beliefs? I wouldn't. There is nothing objective about trying to manipulate someone's emotions so that they accept your ideology, these arguments are not about truth. If you want to you can ignore everything they say and find your own way of understanding the world and acting in it. I now try to avoid the Valentis, Marco…

I no longer frequent places where this sort of thing is likely to happen, but if I raised my fist to a woman in public, even just as a warning, I would expect trouble, either from white knights, bouncers, or the police.

I've had something similar with the Guardian. After being sent to stand in the corner for making a comment that included metaphor and irony, I later found that purely factual posts, citing academic papers about domestic violence etc., were being censored, ie weren't getting past the moderators. By way of checking this I made a really innocuous comment just to make sure that my posts could still get through, and it did. I deduce from this that 'community standards' don't sit well with freedom of …

This actually left me speechless with disbelief. I watched the video of her trying to hire the hitman, but hadn't realised this was the final outcome. There has to be a limit to gynocentrism, but I have no idea when we'll find it. Original RCMP video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIihzST-NYM Edit: Added video link.

The Little Man Who Wasn't There William Hughes Mearns (1875–1965) Yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish he'd go away... When I came home last night at three, The man was waiting there for me But when I looked around the hall, I couldn't see him there at all! Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!

I don't want to encourage paranoia, but I doubt a child of that age would invent a story like this on her own. I would want to think through all contact she has had with anyone, including news media or stories on television. Has she had contact with any adult or child who might hold a grudge against you?

Granted, we have nothing but your account of what happened, but if the situation was as described then I would avoid this girl. There was no rape and she clearly has a narrative she is happy to apply to the games she is playing. Sending out signals to elicit behaviour from someone, and then punishing them when they give you what you want is deeply abusive, veering towards the sociopathic. It sounds like a complete power trip from her side. She gets to control her sexual adventures, both during a…

I think that what you are saying is reasonable but mistaken, that you don't appreciate the insidious nature of feminism as it exists today. For instance, feminism has completely coloured the public perception of domestic violence for decades, so trying to put forward any differing view automatically puts you in opposition to the prevailing orthodoxy. Ignoring it simply won't work, you will inevitably encounter views shaped by feminist propaganda, so what option is there other than to face it, an…

Look at just about any revolution. At the beginning people, often the poor, are driven by desperation and idealism to overturn an oppressive government, but then some small but well organised, and probably well armed group will take control, and before you know it it's business as usual, or even worse than it was before. Look at Christianity. Jesus said, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.", and, " But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy …

The ruling continues the pattern of favoring motherhood over fatherhood. Not in any meaningful way here. Rights are always a balance between the parties involved, and in this case the judge has struck the right balance. The father gets to see junior soon enough, and the mother has a less stressful delivery. I really can't see a problem.

Sounds like you need to detach yourself from here for a while, and then do something to balance out the negative feelings. Unplug, have some fun, get some exercise, watch kitten videos on YouTube. Treat your emotions a bit like how you would treat your body, when it hurts you protect it and rest it, you don't (hopefully) punish it for feeling pain. Life has taught me that one of the most universal mistakes human beings make, is to over estimate the extent and accuracy of their knowledge, and the…

I think that you don't understand that any difference in a man may be seen as threatening, literally anything that differs from the expectations of those around him. The greater the divergence from expectations, the more likely it is that he will be perceived as a threat. Since women's clothing is associated with sexual display, when a man adopts women's clothing he is more likely to be seen as sexually deviant, and therefore a threat. You are probably unused to being seen as a threat. I am not.…

The automatic feminist response - appeal to authority to use force against anyone you disagree with. I would be inclined to ask them if wearing a 'This is what a feminist looks like' teeshirt was also sexist.

It's an opinion, I doubt there are any reliable statistics that would back it up. Here is one of the many websites that use the quote: http://www.womankind.org.uk/policy-and-resources/women-peace-and-security/ They make statements like, "Today close to 90 per cent of current war casualties are civilians, the majority of whom are women and children. A century ago 90 per cent of those who lost their lives were military personnel." Notice they slide from claiming 90 per cent of current 'casualties'…

Apparently there was a version with a male model, see half way down this newspaper article, and that has been defaced too. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/itv-tells-towie-cast-not-5599713 Obviously not as big a story though, as generally speaking men don't get as worked up about this sort of thing, and we don't yet have the equivalent of the feminist thought police to take offence for us.

Thanks for posting this, the webpage was a very interesting read. I can think of no other subject studied at university where the acceptance of an ideology, rather than an understanding of it, is seen as essential to studying it. None of the lecturers whose emails are published on that page appear to consider that they are engaged in a process of indoctrination, and if they think so they don't appear to be troubled by it. They are not offering a way of looking at the world that can be accepted a…

The mens' rights organization believes the male accuser is innocent until proven guilty, well that means the victim regardless if male or female is guilty until proven innocent. Firstly, the Mens Rights Movement is not an organisation, but an umbrella term for a very disparate bunch of individuals and groups, many of whom disagree with each other on various issues, but all of whom would say at the very least, that mens issues are under represented and not properly addressed. Secondly, the princi…

Teaching boys that it's all right to be wimpy won't make it so, it will only delude them and set them up for a shock when reality hits. Teaching them to find where their strength is, and to value it, regardless of how unconventional they are, is much more likely to help.
