| 1 | Body shaming is body shamingOk, I get your point about variation not necessarily meaning causation. But the example you give seems like a corner case and does not seem very likely to be relevant when it comes to obesity. So I think you overstate the position, which is, in a very strict sense, correct. Edit: If heritability studies didn't give any information, they would be useless and therefore not used. But they are used quite a lot. Just because they don't necessarily give information in all possible scenarios does not m… | /r/MensRights | 17/11/19 05:14 AM |
| -3 | Body shaming is body shamingYes, you are right, and I'm well aware. My comment was phrased misleadingly. A perfect study giving a heritability estimate of 70% would suggest that there are large differences in the frequency of genes promoting obesity between individuals in the given population. If we take a random fat person, this does not mean that only 30% of his weight can be lost. It does not mean that 30% of fat people are fat because of the proximity to McDonald's while 70% are fat because they have the fat gene. It d… | /r/MensRights | 17/11/19 04:47 AM |
| 1 | Body shaming is body shamingLearn to NOT eat rather, or to eat less. Most fat people probably can do something to lower their weight. But they might have genes that make it harder for them in some way. For example, they might have a stronger desire for food, and therefore a harder time to not eat. But then again, they could also not have such genes and still be fat. It's possible. But given that somebody is fat, I would assume that they have more of those genes, given how preferable it is to be thin, aesthetically and heal… | /r/MensRights | 17/11/19 04:30 AM |
| -11 | Body shaming is body shamingYes, correct. Heritability does not mean genetic determinism. But some people may have genes that make them more likely to eat more, less likely to diet, make them eat more calorie-dense foods, etc. There are so many potential vectors for how genes could affect a person's weight. But if they work harder at it than people without those genes, they might lose weight anyway. But if they are otherwise normal, they might not have the necessary self-discipline to do that. | /r/MensRights | 17/11/19 04:17 AM |
| -301 | Body shaming is body shamingWell, weight is generally found to be between 40% - 70% heritable. 70% heritability means being fat is hardly a choice at all. | /r/MensRights | 17/11/19 12:08 AM |
| 2 | How trueI tried to explain this basic economic fact to a female friend majoring in economics at the undergrad level. She didn't have any cogent rebuttals to offer but rejected it nonetheless. Finally, she sort of gave in and said "But, but, do you believe that women are stupid? I just can't accept that so many high profile feminists could oversee something that obvious and simple." | /r/MensRights | 26/10/19 09:17 PM |
| 4 | Fight. Delusion.I don't hate trans women. I just like women women, biological women. And especially now that trans women don't have to have had penis removal surgery to be considered trans, I wouldn't want to have sex with a biological male with a penis, even if he/she dressed feminine and had feminine psychology - because I'm straight. Even if he/she had performed such a surgery, I reckon it wouldn't be quite the same thing, an imperfect substitute one might say. | /r/MensRights | 14/08/19 09:28 PM |
| 2 | How are feminists still arguing about wage gap??I managed to convince my brothers SO that the adjusted wage gap doesn't exist. I did it, but it took a while. She had to go through a process of realization that so many elites LIE about it all the time or are just stupid. But I found a report conducted by the government, ordered by the political party she subscribes to. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/19 09:15 AM |
| 5 | How is this even consent and why do we still have to register for the draft?I agree, so long as they only fill roles they are physically able to perform competently. | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 03:59 PM |
| 35 | How is this even consent and why do we still have to register for the draft?The best argument for the draft I've heard goes as follows: A common defence is necessary and benefits all citizens. But if left to choose whether to participate or not, many people will choose not to, especially in times of war. The result is that we might end up without a common defence and thus lose any war we're involved with. You might instead have a professional army of volunteers. It all depends on how many are willing to go to war for their country and if the salary they demand is within… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 03:56 PM |
| 2 | What ideology emboldened a woman to leave her baby boy in a boiling hot car while she did shots in a bar. The same one that allowed her to smile at her mugshot.Probably crack or something. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/19 04:33 PM |
| 1 | 12 israelians had their entire lives nearly destroyed by a British woman who falsely accused them of gang rape"The Israelites (/ˈɪzriəlaɪts/; Hebrew: בני ישראל Bnei Yisra'el)[1] were a confederation of Iron Age Semitic-speaking tribes of the ancient Near East, who inhabited a part of Canaan during the tribal and monarchic periods." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israelites | /r/MensRights | 29/07/19 09:13 PM |
| 2 | 12 israelians had their entire lives nearly destroyed by a British woman who falsely accused them of gang rapeIt's "Israelis", not "Israelians". | /r/MensRights | 29/07/19 07:30 PM |
