Feminists will say that feminist isn't about addressing men's issues, then will turn around and say egalitarians are feminists. I'm sorry, I address issues for everyone. I fight for minorities of all colors and backgrounds, not just one.

They say anger is one, and yeah... but the "emotional" comes directly from them. Hell, I bet within the last 30 days on twox, there was at least one post of "why do i cry for no reason during my period" or almost directly said recently was something like, "Why am i so emotional during ovulation, it's like i can't control it" it isn't men saying women are emotional, it is women. I'm starting to realize almost all "men force women to".... is all women doing it to themselves. I had a mom upset that…

I honestly first read it as "women's dating advice" as in what they tell men. All I hear them say is those kinds of things, but if you ask for help in any, they say no. Men's dating advice to women, "be yourself and find a guy who loves you for who you are"

It simply means that "super sized pint" is a bad argument, and her arguments is to put him as like one of the most evil people to walk the earth. I think at one point there was broken glass, and she said he required to her hold her hand on the table where he smashed a bottle on her hand. Because she couldn't explain the cuts on her hand. Depp said it was from her breaking the bottle herself, and a shard cut her.

I agree it is socialization, but the problem here is the assumption a dick pick or vag pick is bad. It ignores that women do not do that, because they are taught fear. Fear that the pictures will get out, fear that it will be used against her, etc. So many women commit suicide over nudes getting out, because people put so much pressure on women. I had someone steal nudes and threaten me with them, I told them to post them and let me know the view count. Why? because my body is a human body, and …

In some ways, yes, but both come from the same foundation that women are in the wrong. That men need to do their own thing. The only difference is MGTOW say to stop dating, and PUA say to date, but both see society as the same problem, women. Like you can have christianity, but there will be catholics, protestants, mormons, etc. They all come from the same sources. In this case, it is a distrust of society and women.

That is how it started, that is now how it is going. Out of MGOTW we get Andrew Tate. From wiki: Early members of MGTOW were largely politically libertarian and focused on individual self-reliance in accordance with traditional notions of masculinity. Over time, the movement's focus shifted toward male separatism.\11])

Because many of the MGOTW were part of a desire to return to "men are men and women are women" type roles in society. Women should serve me, and men need to work out and make money. It is very much putting men and women into very small boxes, boxes that we really shouldn't return to.

I always think of the internet like that scene in the matrix that shows all possible outcomes, but Neo only takes one of them. Anything said on the internet will get every kind of response, valid or not. To put stock into minor comments is to give credit to like those little thoughts in the back of your head. Don't listen to that voice to turn the wheel to drive off the bridge, and don't listen to that message with no upvotes.

I still believe women are equal, maybe even more likely to attack other women. Women are vicious to each other. The vast majority of eating disorders in high school are caused by girls harassing other girls.

I expect it, it is when they start telling other people to also be fearful. Like I've been in a car accident, rolled it, ended up in the ER. I don't go around telling everyone all the time that people merging might not look and could end up harming them.

Easy target is my guess, you are a man and therefore part of the patriarchy and thus they can dismiss you struggles. Intersectionality, or 4th wave feminism should support you, but radfems or 3rd wave feminists will not. Terfs for example come from 3rd wave thoughts, and refusing to accept 4th wave.

There isn't a lot to argue here, as they are so off base. Maybe respond with something like, "a woman in a room full of family members is in more danger, yet feels safer." The room full of men is "stranger men" and not "family" which family is far more likely to assault them.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates25/09/24 02:06 PM

also it is chasing an ever expanding definition. Once you feel safe, there will be something more to make them feel safer. Also, what makes a person feel safe is vastly different, and rarely follows real statistics. Women are more scared of being attacked while jogging at night than being alone with their uncle, even though the uncle is like 10x more likely to assault them than a stranger.

No, it is that they can be horny / perv without worry. The guy won't take it the wrong way, but they can still do their flirty. A very common thing for example is a woman will just sit in a guys lap, put her arms around him, etc. They aren't trying to bang the gay guy, they want to touch the cute guy. And gay bars hate how straight women behave.

Mothers walk away MORE than fathers when they don't get primary custody, we have stats on that. Fathers walk away often because they feel they have no chance, the mother gatekeeps them out. Some fathers never wanted to be a father, just like a mother might give up a child for adoption is walking away as well. Again on the numbers, solo parents are based on how society is ruling for them, and expectations of those. Solo fathers tend to raise better children as well. Mothers forced men to be fathe…

Let's get real, when a father gets custody, a woman is more likely to be a deadbeat. Why do men "abandon" children? because the system favors mothers? (we have stats on that) that the way society is structured women's household duties tend to favor getting the kids? That women tend to date those more well off, making them the more logical choice for sacrificing their lower income for the sake of the children? We see nothing wrong with a single mother raising kids and working a job, but a father …

Are we talking about the same thing? my googling shows first off, husband and 50 men are being charged. Second is that he contacted them via a chatroom, they weren't just locals. He screened them.

It is also just called dehumanization. Paste the above into chatgpt and ask if it is dehumanizing men and it says yes. They say it so they can hate on men, do bad things to them, and not feel bad because they see only the ones affected must be the bad ones. Like they say too in those posts, "if you aren't bad, then just ignore it." it is a way to dehumanize you.

Well men can get pregnant, and while that one does control more one gender than the other, I would think something that affects only one subsection of a society would be easier to get rights for. Hate crimes generally only apply to a subsection of the population, yet we got those passed.

I would generally say if I could, it is with women empowerment and the struggle for rights. As you have more rights, you have more freedom to express your hatred, and as there are fewer rights left to make equal, it becomes easier to get angry because you would think once you are 90% equal, that last 10% would be easier than when you went from 30% to 40% equal. You would think the right to control pregnancy would be easier than suffrage.

The recent french pole vaulter is a big one to me. I cannot find any news on him, or the pole vault really without him being joked about. I can't imagine if a woman's tits caused her to fail that it would be the only thing talked about. And if it was talked about a lot, no doubt a lot of women saying that it was wrong. But no one seems to care that we are sexualizing a male pole vaulter.

I think the thing with sex is just that it is free / cheap activity that feels good, but also cannot be bought (legally, or morally, etc). Also, thinking of sex, such as looking at a woman with a low cut top, is a very free way to enjoy and remember those good feelings. Plus, sex is an activity that really involves all of our senses, so it much more engaging that other activities. Sure, I can feel close to someone by playing a board game, watching a movie, even cuddling, but that rarely involves…

I call it the "culture of fear". Humans are horrible at estimating rare things. We tell women that at every party they go to, there is some man there wanting to harm them. That going to a concert, some man is there to harm them. The fact is, women are more likely to be harmed by someone they know than a stranger, and yet they trust those near them more than strangers. We have the stats to prove it, yet somehow to most women, they fear the stranger more than someone they know. Also as a point, me…

The part that seems most wrong though is the controlling of friends. Most men drop tons of friendships in order to focus on women enough. Many men have no outside friendships, and to even develop minor ones are often hated on. Like the joke is always about how a guy is no longer in a friend group because he started dating someone.

very much so. I am starting to just call it a "culture of fear". We are teaching women to be scared of everything, everyone, everywhere. I think a lot of it has to do with modern security and how women are primary buyers so the targeting is to them. Women buy more security cameras and systems already, so it kind of makes sense.

Yeah, that is the main thing, I did reply to someone that it wasn't exactly, and the "looking for signs" is like the red flags and stuff. Like "gym bro, must be bad" I will say that Nazi, and the racist south, I know for a fact used dehumanization to cast people into subhuman stuff. Black people are monkeys, Jews are rats, etc. By dehumanizing, you can ignore the problems of that group, and even hurt them without fear of retaliation.

They don’t actually care. Men are more likely to be victims yet there is no push by women to talk to the men in their lives. No woman is worrying when the husband takes the trash out at night. They are scared of a 1 percent chance while the men around them have a 5 percent chance. Yet men are expected to take these risks.

I agree in this case, as a "man in the woods" could be a "black man". That said, it is dehumanizing. They are saying that a bear is safer than a man. We kill bears with no consequences. When a kid falls into a bear cage, we scramble to get the kid out, maybe even killing the bears in the process. And women are saying bears are safer than men. I would point out that Germans related Jews to rats. Black people to monkeys, and i'm sure other races as well. It is called dehumanizing and it is done so…

Is this when we tell people, "when we say all women and it doesn't apply to you, then obviously it isn't all women"... or something like that? But yeah, I agree. And even on feminists, there are a few that are starting to work with men. 4th wave feminism is VASTLY better than 3rd. 4th admits the problems that affect men, like circumcision and are against it.

I had one viewer google women victims in the woods. Of course, didn't look up male victims. My point to it is that if men are the primary victims of stranger violence, then why are men not scared of other men but women are? Women are less likely to be attacked, yet are more fearful. That is what no one can explain to me. Either men are mass delusional to the danger, or women are mass delusional to the lack of danger.

That seems to be the case, when you force someone to raise child that they don't want, people do crazy things. Remember women when forced to give birth will risk their life to abort.

Adding a work like Toxic doesn't mean the latter word is therefore always related. We have "unfair outcomes" doesn't mean all outcomes are unfair. There are traits that men have been able to do, that are called or seen as masculine, which are generally bad, and those problems are often then seen in larger stats in society. For example, 80% or something of all stranger assaults are done by men. Men are 70% of the victims, making men the primary victim and primary commiting of the offense. But fig…

The best study we have a 1994 case study done in Massachusetts which found that something like 90% (i believe it is slightly higher like 91%) of cases are resolved outside of the court, agreed upon by both parties. If there is a disagreement, it will go to court, in which cases men win joint to full custody in 60% of the cases. Other stats that we know is that in the previous 5-10 years, the number of fathers getting alimony has doubled, but that is still at only like 3% of fathers. Most likely …

Anyone that can believe that yet also say that men just up and walk away from fatherhood by choice is maintaining one hell of a cognitive dissonance... or, more likely, willful ignorance. But we have some stats on this. Like 90% of divorces are handled outside of court and are accepted by both parties. So for you to be true, you would be saying that men are choosing not to fight for their kids because of society? When we look at odds when cases are brought to court, it favors men currently. Then…

What grinds my gears is when women will say, "I wish I could run at night like men" when men are at higher risk of being assaulted by a stranger, even at night. Stranger rape is extremely rare, almost all rapes are by people they know. Men run at night despite the risk, and this goes for most things. There are many categories where men are the primary victim, and yet are told that men are safer somehow. Men are not safer. I think last I looked up, men are 70% of the victims of stranger assaults.

I think we can easily resolve this by looking at gays vs lesbians, which then is male victims of dv by men vs female victims by women.

First off, most of our research is done on men, mainly because men's bodies tend to be more consistent. Women's bodies change during the month due to different in hormone levels, so testing a drug on a moving target isn't as easy.

Where do you get this idea? From what I can find, it is closer to 49/51 split on judge ruled custody. The vast majority are done outside of court as part of the divorce with the lawyers, as that is cheaper. Again, it seems in most of those settled outside of court, the men desire less than 50 percent.

Fairly certain for general violence, men are more victims, but if you include rape / sexual assault, it then tips in the women's favor. For the vast majority of violence crimes, men are only slightly more likely to be the victim, but sexual assault falls heavily on women.

This is a weak argument. When we did do the draft, we had draft dodgers. People protested the draft because it was doing exactly that, it was forcing people. Since that first draft, we haven't done it again and I can bet that if we did, and started to actually take men away, there would be protests again about it. Just because something can happen, doesn't mean it is. I can't think of any man I know that has experienced a draft, but I know many women who had unplanned pregnancies.

Looking at top posts of the last month and last year, and none are about the men being raped, but about articles about rape and how women are getting away with it. None are asking about dealing with it, solutions to it, it is bitching about it. That's because there are no actions that will help. There is a lot you can do, such as organize.

Patriarchy tends to benefit men, but not in all cases. Hence men are often "disposable", that is a patriarchy thing that men should be protectors and sacrifice themselves for others. But along side that, just for example, men get overwhelming the funding for start ups. Given the same product, a man is far more likely to get Angel Funding. Why would the same product get more funding if you were a man if we were all treated the same? Because high risk business loans seem safer among men. That is a…

Or that the police don't feel there was a case so they decided not to do it? From my googling, your answer is not listed anywhere. It is lack of resources (money, as it cost about 1k per kit to test), backlog of other needs.

I wasn't saying forced, but a natural consequence of a capitalist society and forming households as base units. The lower income person is most likely to be the one to drop out of the workforce, and at least in human nature, women tend to marry older and men tend to marry younger. Given two incomes, one at 60k, the other at 90k, which one should stay at home with the kids? Or lets make it more fun... you are living paycheck to paycheck, do you lose your highest income earner or your lowest?

I feel you are not fully explaining it. I would be against a hard change like that as well. If I gave up 5 years of my best working years, to only get 2.5 years of alimony does NOT cover the sacrifice made in future income. Maybe that is why they opposed it.

If a wife does not work now it is purely by choice. I agree with everything but this. Many women are kind of forced because in most households the women is younger, and therefore less work experience and lower pay. When the cost of kids comes in, it is often cheaper to take the lowered paid person and force them into being the stay at home parent. In households where the man makes less, it is often he will leave his work to take care of the kids, but again because women tend to marry older and m…

investigate but not just outright believe.

Imagine another field, say retail, where a customer service person won't leave you alone. "Do you need help? do you need help?" say they ask you this non-stop for over an hour. Would you complain to the manager and if that person got fired to asking if you need help even though you told them a dozen times "no"? My guess is you wouldn't mind if someone who is giving really shitty service, and bothering you for hours on end even though you told them "no", you would complain and would have no issue…

I am not seeing how that makes them evil. It is a legitimate way to see the world, even if you don't agree with it.

I don't get this, this is perhaps the biggest complaint on this board about feminism is that they ignore male problems.

Mothers influence that as well as fathers, but we shouldn't be mutilating men's penises. We could ask about feminism helping, and supporting suicide, a leading cause of men.

Because you believe they are worth 25% less. A common response from managers as to why they did not hire women was that women required more training. Even when it was the same resume as a man, women still required more training. The reality is that they are paid less, what that is saying is that hiring managers (mostly men) see men as more valuable than women in the workplace. The question is... is that wrong?

Which is vastly more than what the OP links, which requires a court decision to determine any fines or penalties. They are the first in the world, at least to my knowledge, to enforce it (one of the top bullet points). The US version is not enforced, but is as a recourse against the violation. It gives you a path to the courts, but it is on the employee to prove others were paid more.

How is it strength to carry a very capable person? The women is not injured, she has rain gear on, and the water is obviously not deep. This screams to me less of, "a man helping out" and much more, "a woman who can't help herself". And under that, I don't see how this can be seen as anything more than a kind gesture.

Psychopathy is a male trait. Women can have it if both the X genes have it, but seeing as men only have one X gene, if it contains the gene, you have it. That is why something like 10% of fortune 500 CEOs are psychopaths. Same is for colorblindness. It is also in the X gene, and for women to be color blind, it requires both X genes to be colorblind. If one of them isn't, then you aren't color blind. So I could easily see how sex dysphoria could happen in men more than women.

Yes, but that doesn't stop it from happening. And if we make it not illegal, as many here want, then no, you can't sue. The only reason they can sue, and win, was because there was a law saying equal work is equal pay. If that is removed, then they would have been paid lower, with no recourse except finding another job. and the argument was that women aren't paid less because it is illegal. As I pointed out, women are not always paid equally for the same job and same job quality, otherwise these…

A Dick? I guess yeah I would agree with bitch.

Bitch should be equal to some term meaning that is how the person always is, long term. Maybe calling someone a jack-off? but that isn't really used that often.

well the problem I see is two fold with the "divide up the paternity leave". As you mentioned, women have to take some time off, so they are already disrupting their workplace, so this would encourage women to take the remaining and not have the man do it.

even at 55% (although I haven't heard that before) that is still 45% that do not agree with that. And I bet that number is shrinking. But let's face it, our policy for paternity leave is a huge hindrance. Women get 6 weeks off before birth, and like 12 weeks after (legally speaking). A man doesn't have nearly that time.

yeah, and the argument was the founders had these laws on the book. Not that it was used, not that it wasn't evidence, but that it was strictly against the law.

first off, paid leave is paid by the state for you not working, so you would be committing fruad. Then you would need to find an employer who would hire you for 6 weeks (12 weeks if the company is 50+ employees). Then this also assumes you get all the time off.

I have worked large corporate, it is soul crushing. My length of staying is directly related to the size of the company. If you want soul crushing for money, sure, work for a big company. I get paid around 90% of average pay (around the 40th percentile) but my job is really fun. My company is very small, we have a blast. If I could, I would never work at a large company again. Even for higher pay. I value myself too much.

but even when you narrow down studies to single jobs, we still find offers to men are generally higher. Regardless if you negotiate or not, men are offered more to start with.

Maybe I need to explain more. When you can compare your wages to others, then you can make sure that systemic issues can be resolved.

Well think about this, in the early 1900's, a woman couldn't open a bank account on her own. This was before any help was given to women. I think we, as a society, have always seen women as less.

Should a car rental be able to charge men more for damaging interiors of the car more often than women? Should airlines be able to charge men more because they are generally more overweight? To me, gender is an area that shouldn't be allowed to charge differently on, and thus in this specific case men might spend more than otherwise, but that is the cost of an equal country.

yes, except the problem is the ER offers the same services as a hospital. So by splitting them, you allow people to game the system. A public option would be good, but my fear is that private will take most of the good candidates which is how prices are kept down. Also, while the ER makes sense, what about diseases like cancer? this is a non-ER visit that can cost someone dearly. It is rare, and unplanned.

Well I think medical care is not a free market choice. Free market assumes you have time to weigh the options. When you are in a 55 MPH car wreck, you are not going to be calling around to find the cheapest hospital, reviewing yelp reviews, etc. You are going to the closest one.

well in theory, abortion is about entering motherhood. A woman has a right to not enter motherhood when she feels it isn't her time. A man doesn't have this right. In fact, the very idea there is an "abortion debate" is showing that women have more rights than men here. This is why women have to "fight" for it, because men see that they have no option, so why should women? Give men the right to avoid fatherhood and I bet the war on abortion will go significantly.

If I had to change one thing, and only one thing, I think recognition of men's issues. Not even the need to solve them, but to have the general public to acknowledge that these problems actually exist. If you speak of rape culture, people will think of women being harassed, not that we ignore rape in prison. So one change, it would be to simply be recognized as an equal human, with specific problems, and the ability to address / talk about issues without protests or people mocking it.

But we know, from studies on criminals, that a 3 year punishment compared to a 20 year punishment wouldn't make much of a difference.

We are looking at problems that men face, and we seek to fix any biased. Yes women get a raw deal many times, but that doesn't help the homeless man. A homeless man has fewer shelters to go to, fewer support groups, and do you not agree that support groups are key to g…

yes, but you can see the cognitive dissociation by how long it takes for her to reply. What is going on is she heard the basic fundamental principle, going to jail for hitting. When it is a man, it isn't a question, it is an obvious answer. When it is a woman, while yes it is, there is a hesitation. This is her brain trying to rationalize it.

This plays in line with every other idea of "don't do..." Don't have sex until marriage (failed) Don't rob someone (failed) Don't kill each other (failed) Basically, the idea of teaching "don't...." doesn't work. The best, and I think sex education highlights this, is to understand people will do it, and to help in preventing it. As Violence against women has shown time after time on their studies, self-defense is the best anti-rape thing you can do. Knowing how to defend yourself, how to avoid …

I love how feminism is about equality for all, and both genders can be part of it. Then when a man defines what feminism is, to them, the woman says, "you're wrong". Apparently you can be part of feminism, but if you are a man, you have no say as to what feminism is, even to yourself.

to clarify: Girls expected better than average grades if they were graded by a man. So they would bet more money when being graded by a man. This idea that men grade women easier is "not consistent" with the male teachers grading practices (meaning men did not give women higher grades for merely being female). What actually happened is male teachers tended to give better grades to boys than girls. This mean: Female teacher: girls get better grades, boys get worse grades (compared to independent …

i love the phrase man up. It is basically saying that you complaint is not unique to just you. It is a comment that there is no special treatment, which is typical of women. Man up, I just take pride in that. It is a motto for men that says nothing more than "life is unfair, deal with it".

Women have the bachman test (which fails on so many levels), but I do a simply gender flip. If anyone said, "i want to see women's (or feminist's) bones melt in a vat of acid", would it be treated differently. Assuming we are all equal, then gender shouldn't matter. If it does, then we have sexism.

and interesting thought though. If 80% of rapists were molested, and the majority of rapist are male, then that would signify a large amount of young boys are molested that are not reported. By this logic, one might conclude that teaching young boys what molestation is, and who to tell if they are molested might help in fighting rape.

Not sure if this is mentioned, but here is how this happens. I call it feedback loops. Basically you read something like /r/MensRights and you learn about how men are being treated poorly, then you read another article, and another, and pretty soon you think this is just common place, and that the world is against men. This feedback loop just feeds itself as it solidifies your world view. To counter it, it is important to hear both sides, and take a level-headed approach. There will be extremist…

I would argue heavily against it. Men are known to rough it, to be duty bound, to hold honor. Man up is not talking about running away from responsibility. So no, I don't think with how society conditions men, that men would suddenly want abortions. I think that men would tend to have less abortions than women, although not by much (maybe 10%). And that is only based on the fact that more men volunteer for dangerous military duty, working dangerous conditions, etc. That if someone is willing to …

the study was on teaching men not to rape, I cannot find the study any more. You can search women against violence and read the various abstracts. I posted to one person a link to all the studies showing how self-defense is a very effective at reducing rape. I just can't find the one, mainly because it was not on self-defense, but rather the culture, and finding that teaching men not to rape did not reduce the rape rate on college campus. The study took place at a few different colleges. If you …

i'm assuming you are doing this in sarcasm. Telling someone that self defense is the best means to protect yourself is not victim blaming. Even more so when it is proven to help prevent rape.

First, here is a lot (http://online.sagepub.com/search/results?submit=yes&src=hw&andorexactfulltext=and&fulltext=Self-Defense+&x=0&y=0) I can't find the exact article, because the article was on rape culture. Now I can't seem to find it anymore. But the list of self-defense, and how much it helps reinforces that self defense is important. I just can't find the study showing that men being taught "not to rape" isn't effective.

funny thing is, Violence against Women did a study on this, and found that teaching boys / men not to rape did basically nothing to help rape. The result of the study as the most effect means to prevent rape you may ask? Self defense classes for women. Teaching a woman to defend herself gives her confidence to resist. This was the best way to help prevent rape, according to this feminist research group.

well this would sort of be evidence that you can be, and perhaps they might ask how it could have happened. Of course, if a man did that to a woman, it would be considered questioning the victim, but I figured MRA's could be better and offer evidence to show feminists the damage that blind policies can do.
/r/MensRights10/11/12 12:26 AM

true, figured women might want to ask questions and get better informed. Kind of like why do you have a rape victim repeat her rape constantly? because her story holds more power. I figured the same for a wrongful accusation, to show that wrongful rape can damage the lives of people.

and no one points out that according to Violence against women, an organization that performs studies on this stuff came out with a report that basically said, "teaching men not to rape doesn't do anything, it has no impact on rape" Oddly enough, it did say the most effective anti-rape method? learning self-defense. That is right, taking a self defense class will improve the odds of you being raped by more than anything else we have right now. My guess is that self defense teaches you how to sta…

that is most states, saying that all children, regardless of knowledge is too young at 17.9 years old is just silly. Can you honestly say a 17.9 yo and a 18.1 is really the difference between agency? I posted how Oregon did it, which I prefer. Both must be over 11, and if one is under 18 then there must be less than 3 year spread. So a 12 and 15 year old is not rape. A 16 yo and an 18 yo are okay as well, as there is less than 3 years between them. Heck, even a 15.5 and 18.4 yo would not be rape…

I personally like Oregon. It is both must be over 11 years old (no tolerence for younger), and if one of the kids is under 18, there must be less than 3 years seperating them. So 12 and 14 yo kids, it is not rape. 16 and 18, not rape. 15 and 19, this is rape 14 and 18, this is rape I personally really liked this method. You provide a low hard line, then a window for under age.

I would put in that more women graduate college than men, yet we are still trying to put more women into college. This is a case were women have risen from 0% college grads to more than men, and yet refuse to stop. If anything, this is the core of what worries MRA, that women won't know when to stop. Simply put, if more women are graduating college than men, why do women need MORE help?

it is because we want to fix problems that we relate to. When you feed on this cycle, the most common information going around is negative. The injustice.

I am not trying to deny that you were raped, I am only trying to figure out how you know it was him if you were blacked out?

Which in a sense is tribalism. We want to band together with similar people, and we have difficulty identifying with groups of different social standings. If you identify as MRA, you will have difficulty understanding feminists and will develop a feedback loop to more and more isolate you to ONLY the troubles of a MRA. The exact same can be said for black power, white power, feminism, MRA, nazi, westboro church, etc. Any group that sets up a feedback loop to itself, will see itself isolated and …

oddly enough, Men tend to not care for kids until age 5'ish. That point that you can start to teach a child to do something, then the love of a male for their child skyrockets and in many ways is higher than that of women. Tedtalks had one on this, i think called the "taboos of parenthood" or something like that. The main reason is that women tend to like children more is all hormonal. They develop the bond chemically from almost day 1 of the 9 month ordeal. Men do not have this chemical. I gues…

I remember that post, and thought the same thing. Actually, she sounded a bit paranoid. The article basically fails the basic gender test. Replace all gender words with the other gender, and then see if it would be offensive. Would it be offensive if an article said, "every woman is a gold digger" and then went on to be about how the entire date, you are judging her to see if she is actually a gold digger.

Just discrimination. Look at what Disney's tinkerbell looks like (extremely short skirt, low cut top many times) and no one is complaining about that. Basically, the way that the comments are going is that because this is a man, it is "creepy". If it wasn't a man, it wouldn't be creepy, at least according to those in /r/atheism. I was merely pointing out where if it is male, it is wrong, but if it was female, it would be okay.

The point I am driving at is the comments. Look at how many people say it is creepy. Apparently when a guy does it, it is creepy. I have posted on it, and even got a response from someone claiming that when a woman does it, it isn't creepy, but when a guy does, it is creepy. Is there really anything wrong with the male body? are we really that scared that if a near naked man is near children, this is to be condemned? When will society stop hating the male body?
