| 1 | 70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews)You know how they say that the largest sex organ is the brain? From T10 to L2 on our spine we have nerve pathways that are responsible for that, for "psychogenic" sexual arousal and experiences. Physical stimulation on the other hand are signals that run through pathways that enter our spine from S2 to S4. Damage to the spine that severs signal transference to the brain in the latter but not in the former leads to something really interesting. It leads to there not being an easily discernible di… | /r/MensRights | 24/12/12 04:14 AM |
| 29 | Rape and its role in feminist propagandaSome of us are. When it comes to sex, I certainly am. I'm ok with that. Nobody lives an interesting life without getting a some scars in the process. Worse than murder is hyperbole, but it is worse than getting beaten up. I know, you agree with that. I mean it in the sense though where moving on from it is not something that is at all guaranteed as possible. Sexuality isn't invoked in beatings, and the part of our brain that is concerned with sexuality is very, very, very old. Associations once … | /r/MensRights | 23/12/12 05:34 AM |
| 7 | 70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews)From time to time I have sex with other men. There are a lot of small reasons that have to do with function, around different sex acts, which compound, but these two are the main one: Uncut cocks are more aesthetically pleasing to me. They look better and they feel better. I think it sucks that the choice to have that was taken away from me. And then, there is no denying that I don't have a sensitivity that they have. Things that would barely register to me were so intense for them it seems to b… | /r/MensRights | 23/12/12 02:27 AM |
| 8 | 70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews)I'm circumcised, and guess what, it matters to me. | /r/MensRights | 23/12/12 01:41 AM |
| 9 | German Lawmakers Vote to Protect Right to CircumcisionWhile the whole thing was hijacked by our history and became about antisemitism, making all debate completely impossible, it was this what first turned me sour on feminism. Alice Schwarzer, the face, voice and force of feminism in Germany advocated in support of this law, because circumcised males = less cervical cancer (according to the WHO study from 2007). | /r/MensRights | 21/12/12 07:19 AM |
| 1 | Japan panics about the rise of "herbivores"—young men who shun sex, don't spend money, and like taking walks.Well, the mothers of their daughters want you. One of the issues they're having is that Japenese men are in general very stoic, and signs of personal affection have been culturally very frowned upon. Then came Hollywood movies, American culture, and women got pissed off that they didn't have any of this romance stuff. So, many mothers are encouraging their daughters to marry foreigners, so they'll have a better life. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 11:40 AM |
| 1 | Rape is worse then Murder because the victim has to live with it: Solution Euthanase all rape victimsIt's impossible for me to take someone serious who will deny science to score a point, and she threw the baby out with the bathwater when she denied that the cultural perception of masculinity is a factor in rape. While feminists might use that argument it is not a purely feminist argument. It's one based on behavioral science in the field of criminal psychology that analyzed in depth the motivations of rapists, the over and over confirmed results which have since been formalized in the Hazelwoo… | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 11:30 AM |
| 2 | What is one facet of feminism each of you agrees with?A pragmatist. I wouldn't try to convince members of a white supremacist group of the virtues of civil rights, either. If you believe that abortion is murder then you're beyond reason, beyond discourse, and as a consequence of that belief a force solely for increased suffering. Because this is easy to demonstrate it is easy to erode their base to the point of irrelevancy. A process already well underway. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 09:39 AM |
| 1 | What is one facet of feminism each of you agrees with?Why would I address their point? You don't convince ideologues, you make them culturally irrelevant. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 04:04 AM |
| 4 | What is one facet of feminism each of you agrees with?The road to hell is paved with the best of intentions, that is why it is important to take consequences of actions into account. The fact that ignoring women as part of the equation in the abortion issue makes every one of their attempts backfire should deter pro-lifers, but it wont. Their complete and utter failure to achieve anything in all this time should deter them, but it wont. The most recent example would be fetal abuse laws, that would make a woman liable for charges if she abuses a fet… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 10:32 PM |
| 6 | What is one facet of feminism each of you agrees with?My counterargument would be that you can either treat women as people, or as breeding machines, the latter of which has never worked. Anywhere, ever. (Data) Outlawing abortion doesn't stop abortion. It just kills women who try to assume control of their own bodies through other means, and it kills babies, that are discarded as unwanted. Outlawing abortion increases overall suffering without reaping a benefit for society. Like most laws based on mere subjective moral principle without taking outc… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 07:00 PM |
| 5 | Japan panics about the rise of "herbivores"—young men who shun sex, don't spend money, and like taking walks.Japans Society is in complete upheaval, and while the economy may play a part in that you also have to consider that they're in the middle of a sexual revolution. None of the old rules for mate selection and dating apply, and nobody has figured out a new protocol yet. But they'll figure it out, I'm sure. That's always been something that has impressed me about Japan. Somehow they've managed great cultural stability on one hand, and then implement radical changes to it within one generation, and … | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 04:48 PM |
| 32 | What is one facet of feminism each of you agrees with?Christian morality needs to get out of medicine. It's their body, they get to decide. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 04:22 PM |
| 10 | My friend posted a status about almost being raped. His wonderful university friends commented on his status as below. Sickening.Cultural forces enables that men are raped, how society deals with that, and how the men themselves deal with that. This isn't a big mystery. That has nothing to do with acting hysterical. Let me give you an example from my own personal experience. Having dealt with about ~75 male rape victims in the last 5 years, victims of gang rape, gay rape, straight rape, by family, by strangers, as children or as adults, one thing they almost all shared was the following process: "Men can't be raped. I was… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 03:56 PM |
| 1 | 1 in 10 men are victims of rape.Verbal pressure, social pressure, emotional pressure, alcohol, and probably very low on the list, force. In short, coercion. Coerced consent is no consent at all, and sex without consent equals rape. Considering that consent is culturally seen as implicit for men I have no trouble at all imagining this going down constantly. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 07:00 AM |
| 1 | Men! We now know how to prevent date rape, but do we know why it happens?Gang rape is a strange creature. It's the only form of rape where the rape victim is essentially reduced to a prop. Gang rape is all about what is going on between the rapists. Between the dominant leader, the eager and the reluctant followers, and sometimes also intimidated observers. It's everyone but the leader, the people stuck in a vortex of WTF, Holy Shit and Derp that the advice is aimed at, I think. Stieg Larsson certainly could have used it. It would have saved him from a lot of bad pre… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 06:22 AM |
| 0 | I'm a fiction writer . . .Not bad. "Radical" feminism is feminism that deals with "root" problems. Both men and women have a lot of problems that stem from the same roots, so that could end up pretty swell. Extreme oppositional feminism on the other hand, there is a sci fi story about it. It was by Larry Niven. I don't remember the title, but it was about a guy waking up after a car accident, far into the future, realizing his wife had him frozen after death. In it the war on the sexes became an actual one once sex was n… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 03:39 AM |
| 1 | Men! We now know how to prevent date rape, but do we know why it happens?Another perspective on this, the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit established categories and subtypes for different rapists based on their motivations for raping. These different motivations lead to different types of rapes. Which makes sense. Someone who will rape a woman because she reminds him of his mother, rapes out of pure hatred and in an act of displaced vengeance, he is going to show all kinds of different behaviors than someone who rapes out of a sense of insecurity. So, in their model th… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 02:50 AM |
| 2 | I was banned from /r/feminism for suggesting that Anne Hathoway could have prevented the pantie-less fiasco by wearing panties.Anne was completely right in what she said in her own defense, but that doesn't change that the situation was entirely predictable, guaranteed as certain. It drew tons of attention, yay for sex and outrage, and she had a very nice response ready that shamed the vultures we all hate already. If she came up with the idea herself I tip my hat to her in kudos, if not, then her publicist deserves a raise. Not for a second do I belief this wasn't intentional, just now when her big movie is in the midd… | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 12:55 AM |
| 6 | How can we campaign for males to protect themselves?As a Borderline survivor myself I would have to agree. They're basically emotional predators as far as I'm concerned, free of ill will and intent, acting on instinct. They're free to rename it. It won't make a difference. A rose by any other name still stings as deeply. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 12:03 AM |
| 1 | Anyone else sick of this yet?You engage in the good ideas, you foster creative and positive exchanges, and you ignore the bad ones. You don't debate them, you don't communicate in a destructive manner, you don't get angry, you don't give views you disagree with attention, because they are not worth the time. Without being able to define themselves against an engaging opponent oppositional ideologies crumble. This works on a personal level in dysfunctional relationships to set things right again, it worked on a political lev… | /r/MensRights | 14/12/12 10:15 PM |
| 5 | A question for the people hereI think it should be based on performance. Does a trans woman's biochemistry still allow her to perform on a male level, or not? What about Trans men? If they perform on a different level than those born to a specific gender I would say it's fair to compare it with steroid use, and to take that in account when creating an equal playing field for those participating in events. | /r/MensRights | 14/12/12 10:00 PM |
| 5 | Question about some controversial quotes from Warren Farrell's The Myth of Male Power.Is this what is happening right now, with the Good Man Project controversy? I read the article in question by Royce that is labeled as rape apologist, and then some words I wouldn't use in polite company, and to me it seems to be solely an examination of the underlying dynamics that lead to rape, and not an apology for the behavior, nor does it appear to me that she is excusing anyone of their responsibility. The backlash is difficult for me to understand. | /r/MensRights | 14/12/12 09:54 PM |
| 2 | How can we campaign for males to protect themselves?Concerning abuse How do we spread the word that men should take steps to protect themselves? There are a lot of red flags that indicate abusive behavior. For instance, if you're in an argument, does it feel like you need a stenographer because words get all twisted around, and arguments never seem to end resolution, but in resignation? Awareness campaigns for these behavioral red flags I think would be very helpful at this point, because I honestly thing that most men might not even realize that… | /r/MensRights | 14/12/12 09:43 PM |
| 1 | Far Cry 3 and "rape"I think it's the same problem, just the other side of the coin. Some people call it rape culture I think, but it reminds me more of the Karpman Drama Triangle. The Drama Triangle is about certain inter-relationship roles, how they play out, how they depend on each other and feed into each other. On the surface it looks like there is a victim, a prosecuter (abuser) and a rescuer (abuser to be). But if you pull back, and look at the whole picture, you realize that everyone playing a part is in fac… | /r/MensRights | 02/12/12 10:06 PM |
| 0 | Far Cry 3 and "rape"yeah. I really wish that the writers would have at least looked at the literature of what rape can do to someone rather than resorts to tired, untrue, damaging tropes. Edit: And also shown some responsibility as far as what actual helpful support would look like rather than enforcing the shame that keeps actual rape victims in a spiral of self destruction, which is how that scene you're referring to played out to me, and I do have some experience in this regeard, both myself, and dealing with ot… | /r/MensRights | 02/12/12 09:48 PM |
