He probably has to sue for damages. She had to as well, so I don't think this is gender discrimination. To be honest, this feels more like a bad cop no donut story than a men's rights story.

I'm Dutch. There's a 30% quota in law. However, news (while reporting on the new German law) said it has no sanctions and is not enforced so in practice it's not really accomplishing much. The Dutch foundation that advocates for more women in top positions, however, does not want the quota enforced. The director of that foundation said that she thinks that for this to be a "durable success" it should happen from within the companies. I think she meant that if you fill a position with a candidate…

Probably in the same way chick flicks are a small part of the film medium. Yeah. And the key difference here is that there is no anti-gamergate like group ostracizing all moviegoers for those sexist chick flicks, claiming that moviegoers are "over" or should be bullied into submission. Because that's what's happening.

I don't think so. The choice of having an abortion should lie with the woman only. It's bodily integrity, which is also why I am against all circumcision before adulthood without medical need (male or female). But on the other hand, I do support the concept of financial abortions, where either or both parents can state to not support the child financially (and then have an actual abortion, or give the child up for adoption, or assuming solo parenting).

GNOME's in bad shape because of the direction they went with their desktop interface. Mismanagement of this outreach project might be where the money went, but the main issue is IMO that they completely ignored a huge portion of their userbase for GNOME3. Those people have stopped donating. They lost their income. That's the problem. In my opinion, of course. Pity. I liked GNOME.

In essence they are the same thing, the belief in gender equality. Yeah. In essence they are. However, if you look at the words/actions of some feminists I don't think it's surprising something like the MRA would appear. Personally, I'd rather they both stop existing and we have a movement for equality for everyone. But as long as there's feminism, I think the MRA should also exist.

On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, there's quite a few law enforcement positions that do not require good physical fitness. If you aren't expected to outrun people in the street (maybe you're a desk cop or something), then I don't think you need to be able to pass stringent fitness checks.

Yes. This is also the reason we separate the genders in the Olympics.

If we didn't have different events for men and women, the women would probably not get many medals.

While I don't agree with them, I understand that some designs are more "manly" and some more "womanly". Look at shaving systems for men and shaving systems for women.

The "religious extremists" don't have to be huge extremists for them to be against. It got quite a bit of resistance from our local religious people when we passed it in 2001 (Netherlands).

Not what I said. IP addresses don't correlate to persons. It also gets a lot harder if the person is in a different country. The IP address you are assigned sometimes changes as well. People could have been using proxies, or the unsecured (or little secured, 'sup my neighbours WEP-secured access point) WiFi someone down the street has. Out of the 400 false reports I'd be surprised if they can track down the person in 10 cases.

Yep. If it is a club it generally has a chairman or a board. Go to them, tell them you're disappointed in how the situation was resolved. Be nice about it. Give them a reasonable amount of time to deal with it, at least a week. If they fix it, mission accomplished. If they do nothing, go to the police. I'm serious. Report the incident and report the lack of action on behalf of the board. They might be legally obligated to do something. If they fix it, you're done. If the police also do nothing, …

That shit can hurt. I'm twice as old now as I was when I was bullied by a teacher, and I still remember it vividly. I can't even tell you the names of the other teaches, but I remember everything that asshole did.

Zero tolerance is bullshit. The school should drop it. This kind of public shaming, however, is bullying by teacher. It shouldn't happen, no matter who you are or who you offended (if any). Find some other way to correct his behaviour.

For instance on this subreddit, taking the rule that all people have a right to be innocent before proven guilty (Which I agree with), means you have to have this same view whether the accused is male or female. However pointing this out for a none-male accused is disagreed with and downvoted, while doing the gender opposite is upvoted, showing the logical inconsistency and bias of this subreddit. True, unfortunately.

Still up for me. This was the post: I don't agree with this, to be completely honest. Why should people be culpable for things they did not do?

Where I study, all this has been gathered under extra-curricular activities. A club gets money proportional to the amount of members it has. If there's 100 participants in the ballroom dancing club, they get monies for 100 participants. Even though there's 70 females and 30 males. It's the same for the theatre club, the rock-climbing club, the soccer club, etcetera. They all get funding for the amount of people registered as a member for the club. This is gender-equal, but there's complaints fro…

That's 29411 euro per year. Or 2450 euro/month. That's just above what he would've made as a mailman anyway (at his age). There should also be compensation for emotional damage and for the time of his life stolen. 500k is no small sum, but it is way too small for this. EDIT: The article claims that compensation will be sought in the following weeks. It is possible that the 500k is just for the time spent in prison and further damages will be awarded.

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct. However, your explanation is true, I would say she has insufficient information to make a decision on this matter.

That's the intent. Sex (gender) as a protected class means you can't be discriminated against based on your gender. Race or skin color as a protected class means you can't be discriminated against based on your race or skin color. Some people took that to mean "you can't be discriminated against based on your race or skin color if it's not white". From which follows that it's fine to discriminate against whites. It's bullshit, and those people should be prosecuted for hate crimes in my opinion.

I also said I think she maybe shouldn't be. If he's above age of consent, I don't think it should count as CP.

Maybe for grading, but the supervising person still has to check all grades.
