For the record, the admins won't do anything. Unlike every other meta sub, SRS hasn't even had to switch to np linking. I know we don't like to ban, but if we could do temporary bans for March that would be excellent.

Being followed is a problem. That's not catcalling, that's stalking/harassment. The other instance sounds not that important I'm afraid. Since this is the Internet I also sort of assume that at least one of these stories happened to someone you knew or heard about.

Sorry, I totally disagree. Okay, not totally. I can't stand Kimmel. That being said, there's nothing wrong with supporting non-masculine men. They're still not masculine, but that's fine That's part of the point here. Men should be allowed to be free from gender roles. I was not the conventional jock growing up. I did speech, band and school. I didn't get harassed for it but only because I was 6'3, 190lbs and sarcastic. My friends certainly did. You don't have to be a football player to be a man…

K... huge non sequitur there but I'll ignore that. Sure, male knowledge of the subjective aspects of street harassment (how it makes you feel) might be more limited, but that doesn't prevent me from interpreting information about prevalence. Personally I've also experienced street harassment from women. Didn't think it was a big deal. I suppose there could be some differences but frankly I think its oversensitivity if street harassment is ruining your day or something.

I'll keep it in mind when I decide if I want to source him in a TV spot. Otherwise I think it's just useless ad hom. These points matter for the sake of public opinion but that's it. Having one set of incorrect opinions does not actually impact your ability to be correct (or in this case simply witty) in a separate area of opinion. This is reddit, not the real world and if anything the technical validity of an argument is actually more important here than in debate.

That would be a good argument if there were just fewer female athletes that compete with the top male athletes (like in chess). There are none. Literally none. Like was mentioned above, top female Olympians are comparable to top male high schoolers. That's not because more men are doing sports. Its a physiological difference.

So... she didn't actually have context for it. It's not really great to advocate killing reporters and journalists either... Not the best effort I've seen to introduce context, 1/10. Joke?

So looks like a transwoman compared Cathy Brennan to Hitler. She is admittedly a pretty awful person (lesbian lawyer, famously anti-trans. Thinks men want to transition to women so they can enter female-only spaces and rape). Not sure what to make of the broader "harassment of lesbians". Did some browsing, and while Melanie seems obnoxious (Wiccan? Seriously?) I didn't see much for harassment. I'm not a fan of trans-critical feminists, but I don't always agree with radical trans advocates either…

Ad hominem is only bad if that's the end of your argument. Someone who points out my opinions on sociology are worthless because I don't have any sort of sociology degree has a point that I'm not qualified and my views should be viewed sceptically. The next part is to deconstruct my argument and say why I'm wrong. JB did that. She didn't say "no credentials let's go home," she said "no credentials and their points are pretty dumb and here's why."

Only way you could really be sure is if you went in to actually hand off the samples. Obviously talk to a lawyer to make sure this isn't "accepting parenting responsibility" or anything, but potentially you could go up there. If you wanted to meet your potential child that's not a bad idea anyhow. Alternatively you could just ask for a lock of hair or something from the child and get the test done yourself.

I was in a fraternity in college so I'm familiar with this stuff.

Even in my house girls were regularly fed alcohol till they were blacked out. Usually by a couple of guys who did so regularly and stayed relatively sober. These were not one off events. Looking back on it now, i see that these men were predators and no one did anything. Its a culture that pr…

Interesting although I don't get it myself. I'm circumcised and while I don't plan to circumcise any male children I may have it doesn't bother me either. I've had my penis like this my whole life and its always worked just fine for me. I'd always worry that this sort of thing would have unintended consequences. I'm not into taking any sort of penis related risk.

I've had this argument before and what actually seems to happen when you bring up these cases is goalpost moving. They say they meant a woman cannot rape a full grown man. OF COURSE a woman could rape a small child, but its incredibly rare. Good article and everything, just want people prepared when they debate.

If you read the story, justice was pretty well carried out here. The judge sided with the father. 6 months no visits, supervised visits at the end, and the judge stated he is considering banning contact per the child's request. No criminal charges against the nother, but I doubt an uncorroborated 11 year olds story is sufficient evidence for conviction so its unsurprising. There are so many horror stories here its nice to see a positive one.

I really want this argument over what percentage of rape accusations are false or true to stop. I really don't buy that 50% of rape accusations are false, but it doesn't matter. I think it's important to make the argument that it doesn't matter if its 50% or 5%. Protecting the falsely accused is the backbone of a strong justice system and it's important that we do so here too.

Not so benevolent to the men. That's like saying Jim Crow was benevolent racism towards whites. Totally get your point, but to play devils advocate here the point is that its an artificial leveling of the playing field. Its a default acceptance that men are just better, and we need to compensate to allow women to compete. It's also the problem with modern feminism. They've become a group about helping women instead of about equality. In that sense egalitarian MRAs are the heirs to the original f…

Exactly. Regardless of intent, some laws are bad laws. This is not anti male, this is a law that murderers (who have been predominantly male) have used to functionally plead down. The phrasing in the article is bad however and comes off, intentionally or otherwise, as anti male.

I already addressed this. These children are going to be circumcised. Probably using some combination of the two clamps mentioned. Now someone is also writing notes on what happened. Your response is the definition of an emotional response. "It's bad to experiment on children" even when the experimentation is writing down their reaction to something THAT WILL ALREADY HAPPEN TO THEM is a stupid, unscientific stance. Please try again with actual reasons. Feels are not facts.

One thing I would note is that we don't see the same degree of reporting from the genders, the gap narrows considerably when you look at survey info. Men (and boys) don't want to report sexual assaults. The overwhelming societal reaction is still "you were lucky, stop bitching." We say adult men "molest" minors (which they do), but adult women "start a relationship" with minors (which they don't). Women. Aren't treated as perpetrators and men aren't victims. My point is, we don't take men seriou…

I think that's extremely unlikely. None of the major reasons people oppose circumcision are related to pain. They tend to focus more on the long term (loss of sensation, irreplaceable, no proven health benefits, can do it as an adult, etc). I'm not advocating for this study exactly, but I don't think its bad either. Yours is the first actually rational argument against it I've come across (even if I disagree).

I know this is an unpopular stance here, but as long as circumcision remains legal, finding out the least painful and least damaging way to perform circumcision is not a bad thing. These are not babies that otherwise would have uncircumcised penises, they're just now also part of a study. I'm not pro-circumcision, just know that this is an emotional response not a rational one.

We are discussing reasons a woman would lie about rape. The author is not asserting it is a prevalent reason, that most or many accusations during divorce are false or any other statistically based assertion. He is saying that 1 woman he knows of made a false rape accusation for this reason. It is therefore a reason a woman could make a false accusation, and his anecdote is acceptable.

I think the problem is more likely related to the idea of a romantic marriage that has been promoted to both sexes especially women. Don't need to assume all women are just golddigging sluts. Lifetime alimony is a horrible burden and totally insane in today's society.

If the wife was contributing to success at her own expense I see no reason why money to allow her to re…

Well I'll step in here I guess. I think the problem is that feminist lobbying groups act in ways that are totally incoherent with their "ideology." Take custody battles.

Give me an example where the father knowing that he is not the father, versus merely not the carrier of the genetic disease his non-biological son has is vital medical information to the child. There isn't one. You are trying to make a justification based on non-maleficence where the potential doesn't exist. I understand your concerns but there is no medical need to know that. It's protecting the dignity of one person (the father) at the expense of another (the mother). I'm not saying I think th…

The affair doesn't relate to the childs health. If you tell a parent there's a genetic disease, and you're not a carrier (carrier does not mean going to die of the disease) you can do the rest of the work yourself.

The mother's test results that reveal she is a carrier are still protected.

To be clear, at the time they didn't have tape evidence. They'd deleted the evidence. They told the cops they had had some evidence, and the cops were unable or "unable" to recover it from the phone. A third party lab was then able to recover it at which point they had evidence and were acquitted because the girls were obviously lying. The Swedish justice system is appalling on rape, no need to exaggerate how bad it is. Also an excellent example of why "always be recording" is good policy.

I'm not saying there aren't reasons why exposing the accuser is an attractive option.

You can see my posts right above this for a definition of hate speech, but suffice to say this isn't it. I think Paul Elam blames women for societal expectations way too much, which strikes me as intellectually dishonest. That being said, the article focuses most of its ire on men, particularly MRAs that disagree with him more than it does on women. Like I said, I think its a silly stance but it does not fit the definition of hate speech.

Hate speech is usually described as something that would incite violence or other highly discriminatory behavior against a group (forcing blacks to the back of the bus, banning women from voting, etc). An insult like "obnoxious cunts" doesn't pass muster. I don't care for avoiceformen. I think their writing makes the entire MRM come off as angry and hyperbolic.

I believe there are rapists just like I believe there are muggers and burglars. I didn't say that clothes are the one reason rapes occur, that would be silly. I explained my rationale about why I think "slutty" clothes may increase the incidence of rape. You just repeated the party line. Rape can happen no matter what you're wearing.

Not equivalent. Analogous. A better comparison would be locking doors at night. Doing it some places is more important than others (nice suburb vs big city), but its never a terrible idea. My view on the matter is that dressing "slutty" is more likely to make a date rapist think that "she wants it." That doesn't make the rape justified, but it may make it more likely. No one here is saying that it is any woman's fault for being raped, that blame lies solely on the rapist.

Yes, and clearly financial penalties are not the same as prison sentences. If they were, financial restitution being ordered would be plenty. What you are suggesting has no basis in criminal law, and could result in sentences longer than those for a murder. If your argument is that rape=10 years, and rape accusation=up to 30 then that is excessive. I'm much more interested in protecting the falsely accused (which an equal sentence would do) than in being excessively punitive.

All right we're getting a little excessive and circlejerky here. I agree this woman should do some hard time and have to make financial restitution.

Well I'm really sorry that was your experience man. I guess my main point was that I think the stigma is the real crux of the male vs. female suicide discrepancy. Got a little sidetracked, hard to keep on a straight path when discussing suicide I suppose. I know that that isn't the case all the time, but I do tend to think it's most important just to make it easier for men to talk about suicide.

Honestly, this is one thing I never found to be true. I was pretty openly depressed and suicidal for about a year. Flipped a coin over it once but never attempted (would've used a shotgun so I wouldn't be here). I got support from friends and family. I'm male but I think that the fear is what prevents people from getting support more than the actual stigma.

First adopters are overwhelmingly male especially at this price. That being said I sort of agree it would be nice for this sort of technology not to become a nerdy white dude sort of thing to do.

Yeah noticed that and edited I'll apologize for that one, the biology thing's a wash, should respond to all points within a thread. If you don't want to debate then you're choosing to respond a lot. Wage gap myth is a surprisingly popular topic around here, and the quick and dirty retort is that men work more overtime hours, in more dangerous, and in more highly paid jobs. The always popular 77% number is across all jobs not within. Means the executives and doctors get thrown in with the secreta…

It's cute how you totally ignored the biology point, very shitty Internet debater. Also he already said that it's good to look at demographics in a vacuum from history, and separately that your view of history is skewed by learning about the history of white people (you have, so have I. Get over it). Try citing some more examples of racism in modern culture instead of vaguely arm waving about white male privelige. People here definitely aren't racists, not really the game.

Frankly many people here don't necessarily identify as mras either. In public at least I tend to identify as an egalitarian. Makes for smoother debates and it's not an inaccurate statement. I think the label is just less important than your advocacy of the issues.

I haven't gone through this myself but my dad did. He got 50% custody (he didn't want to take us from our mom or anything), and he got nothing else out of the divorce. He made getting us his sole priority. Gave her the house, the car, and agreed to child support payments that were egregious based on their difference in income and the time/amount spent with kids. Can't say that it'd necessarily work for you but that's how my dad got to keep us.

That's a lousy justification. Just because you got used to eating out and nice cars doesn't mean your ex husband is obligated to keep you comfy your whole life.

What our leaders do is not necessarily what our members believe. Yes, democratic leaders are also far too beholden to bankers, totally agree. When the gop was in power however they cut taxes, massively increased spending and called themselves fiscal conservatives.

Additionally there is a demonstrated bias against boys by female teachers causing many boys to simply give up. Man I experienced this. I was fortunate in having very active parents and I learned a lot at home, but I was way ahead of the curve and many of my female teachers ignored my needs despite catering to the advanced girls. I had awesome grades but was a "problem behaviorally" because sitting doing nothing wasn't my forte. Wasn't until middle school (first male teachers) that I started gett…

Reversed your metaphor son, it'd be a more accurate comparison to say that if everyone tells you that you suck at singing you probably do.
/r/MensRights09/06/13 10:51 PM

A more accurate definition would be a system in which men are in charge (rule by father). The difference is that this does not necessarily imply that women are oppressed on an individual basis (doesn't necessarily imply that they aren't either). Furthermore I think you'd find plenty of feminists willing to advocate in favor of a matriarchy, but not presume that this would disadvantage men.

Most calm rational feminist posts I've seen on here haven't been downvoting simply because they say "I'm a feminist." Angry or combative posts sure, but super angry MRAs get downvoted too.

That's not what I think the biggest problem with their patriarchy theory even is. Say they're right, every single problem men have is related to the patriarchy. Custody problems, life-time alimony, rape concerns, lowered college rates, etc. So what? Regardless of if the patriarchy causes these problems, they are issues that can be fixed and if feminism is opposed to patriarchy they should embrace change on those issues. Feminists AREN'T fighting those issues and the way in which we fight systems…

Weird, the first Bioshock had a strong female support too (as well as the resident supergenius scientist of the game). Especially since the male support character isn't so helpful at the end.

Well I guess I'll weigh in here. Ultimately the man can't have a say for the simple reason that the only way in which he could have a say is if both people had to agree to have the abortion, which I don't support (the woman does have to carry the baby after all). I don't LIKE this stance, its not one I'm pleased with but I don't think there's another solution. I'd instead like to see a comparable option offered to fathers to abdicate responsibility if they so choose.

Winning custody does not mean that you have to cut out them (or their money). Granted it would make sense if you never wanted to deal with them again but if you take a mature attitude after you win and tell them that you think it would be good for your child to have his grandparents in his life this could still have a happy ending. However misguided they clearly care about their grandson and it would not be surprising if they wanted to help financially.

No argument, my point was just that when it comes to classes don't pick fights (with teachers) you can't possibly win. Especially when you don't have a lot of power, picking your battles is important.

People who actually have the resources to do more than just the project. Like I said, if you're willing to go to the mat with it and use legal resources awesome. I doubt the average 8th grader or high schooler has those, and most parents don't want to do more than try and prevent things from affecting their kid's future. I think that the someone who steps forward should be someone who can actually defend themselves. Kids in schools can't.

Glad you agree, its one of the few things that turns me off from here (I really like this subreddit, its given me a place I can actually talk about these things). It has however made me realize I need to really think about the issue before I have kids myself.

I know this won't necessarily be a popular opinion here, but when it comes to school assignments you are often best served keeping your head down. Unless you're willing to get aggressive with legal action more often than not you're just going to wind up with a bad grade and nothing but a moral victory to show for it. Moral victories don't go that well on college apps. Unfortunately nothing is less objectively graded than classes so keep your audience in mind.

Honestly I'm circumcised and I've never been that bummed about it. I don't know that I plan to do the same to my child someday (I'm not religious, I've heard about hygiene factors but I need to do more research) but its not something I've ruled out either. I get the anger over it I see here, but I don't think I'm "mutilated" either. As far as getting it later in life, supposedly there is more nerve damage and definitely more pain that way. Just a different perspective. Edit: not defending SRS he…

While fascinating, I'm not sure I'm willing to extend as much influence as skelly does to a subreddit of 38,000 people. For comparison, MensRights has 68,000. While I get that SRS is incredibly loud for their size (Their FUNCTION is to bitch about rebbit afterall) I just don't think they have the pull.

The concern here, correctly or incorrectly, is that we've moved from victim blaming to assumption of guilt. Its the law and order maxim, "guilty until proven evil." Feminism has fought hard for the pendulum to swing away from victim blaming and has gone too far.

This is actually the description of the "no true scotsman" fallacy. I get what you are trying to say, but people CAN and DO act as feminists despite being misandrists. There IS a type of feminism that believes that women are equal to men. full-stop. Truthfully I think most people in this subreddit (certainly myself) fall into this category. This is regrettably not the only type of feminism. You do not get to ignore the other types of feminists anymore than I get to ignore awful, sexist, anti-wom…
