Oh, I misread the thing, the baby's mother was there, not the woman's mother. Got it.

Yeah but in that case, the baby's grandmother is kidnapping the baby by not releasing it to his care. Not sure if that changes the legality--are you allowed to enter the home of someone who has kidnapped your baby, to rescue your baby?

No way anyone in their right mind would gamble 7 years vs 3 months + repercussions. No lawyer on earth would recommend you take it to trial without evidence. He said, she said, the "battered woman" wins in court every time.

Differences such as? I live in Tennessee, and my view of Georgia and Alabama is that they're basically like, hotter, redneckier, more racist versions of Tennessee. Do shed some light! :p

Oops, I mixed up the two states, and misremembered it as GA and when I googled "georgia closes DMV voter id laws" or whatever, the article I was looking for came up, and was about Alabama, but I didn't read it since at first glance it was the article I recognized. To be fair, Georgia and Alabama aren't that dissimilar, but, as you say, Georgia ain't Alabama. Good catch.

Funny you should mention it... After passing laws requiring people to have photo ID to vote, Georgia Alabama closed down a ton of departments of motor vehicles (places to get a driver's license, the most common form of photo ID in the US) in counties with high african-american populations. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/08/25/1415384/-Despite-strict-voter-ID-laws-Alabama-is-in-the-process-of-closing-45-of-49-driver-s-license-offices

Right now, no, because the republicans are campaigning against themselves and they're all in fierce competition to appear the most socially backwards so as to appeal to their base. When one is nominated (if he isn't Trump), he will loosen up and try to appear more central. But that doesn't really mean anything, since he's essentially being bought off to be gridlock-y and not change the status quo

It's annoying that Bernie is campaigning with these myths, but it's just not viable to go against it at the moment. I mean, okay, let's end wage disparity. It pretty much doesn't exist. Having this in his campaign is like a benign tumor. Annoying, lumpy, but ultimately doesn't affect anything.

But it is possible that a one night stand could take a turn one of the participants didn't want or expect, like for a plausible example--consensual sex, and then fingers being placed in the butt without permission, then the offended party says no, I'm not okay with that, and the offender continues with the action. Or for another plausible scenario, things are going fine until one of them decides it would be sexy to choke the other, and then instantly the chokee decides, I don't want to do this a…

Suppose A and B both consent before, and sex proceeds amicably. Then after, B says that she didn't consent. Now she's on camera making a false accusation minutes after the deed. That doesn't help anybody. Or if she just doesn't make a video at all. Honestly nothing proves anything. And that's the tricky part about rape cases

That's a great point. It reminds me of a statistic I heard once that said hospitals cut fuckups in the operating room by some huge percent by going through a checklist that begins with, "Is this the right patient?" "What procedure are we performing?"

false believe that when a woman is uncomfortable with what's going on, the guy would not stop. Well it's not really the guy that would stop that we're worried about here, is it? The fact of the matter is, if this app is taken seriously, then it damages potentially true claims that consent was withdrawn but sex was not aborted. A sick fuck could use an app like this to bolster his case that sex was consensual throughout, and then start doing depraved shit that the other party wasn't comfortable w…

Well, it's also a relevant question if we consider that people have the right to revoke consent mid-coitus, which I agree they do. But what does it mean? How many seconds do you have to stop pumping once she says no? If you touch her boob accidentally when rolling off of her, is that sexual assault? If you don't hear her and keep going, is it rape? What if she decide she revokes her consent but doesn't say anything? Like she has a moment of clarity that she should stop but can't talk. What if pa…

...and this app would do nothing to protect Retbull in that case, and might even make it harder to prosecute you in that instance. The criticisms are valid. It's not ALL about after-the-fact mind changes. I think changing your mind after the fact is stupid as fuck. But at least this app can prove that you consented beforehand, and that's something. It's a tool that will have to be used judiciously. IMO you should have to record an "after" video, too, to prove that the sex was consensual all the …

That's a fair interpretation. I will add my own interpretation that I see a lot here. Lots of people see toxic forms of feminism as being representative of "the left," so there is a lot of crossover here of conservatives/republicans that are having a strong reaction against toxic forms of feminism that demonize "progressives" or "the left," when what they're really against is something else that maybe they don't know how to articulate.

Uh, no. Not if they aren't as valuable a commodity--such as the top male model not being nearly as valuable a commodity as the top female model. People, male or female, should be paid what they are worth. OP is pointing out that in situations where this is reversed, say, pay for the top female soccer players, or tennis players being lower than for the top men, lots of feminists cry foul when the fact of the matter is that female sports are less marketable, kind of like male models.

Thanks for doing the leg work, friend. Okay, with all the information on the table, here's what I think. Conscription is a stupid idea in all but the most dire of circumstances. So, I don't think anyone should be conscripted because it can just throw your entire life off track. That said, if Norway is going to conscript people, it is just that they should conscript both sexes. It is not very egalitarian of these Norwegian feminists to only argue that women should not be conscripted--if being con…

I'm a little confused--does Norway already conscript men? The article made it sound like the military decided to randomly do a conscription of a bunch of women just so there'd be more women in the military? Did that happen? Or is this just a bill to allow the theoretical conscription of women? Because if it's the first, that's kind of bullshit to conscript people for no actual reason other than to tweak the numbers. Unless conscription is a common, all-the-time thing in Norway, which would be st…

I think the video spent wayyyyy too much time listening to Mr. Beard ramble on against trans people. He has a good point about wanting more careful thinking in terms of, say, hormone therapy for kids, but he spoke like a complete asshole who doesn't understand gender dysphoria at all. Which is probably why social media lit him up. I feel like this example undermines the rest of the video, which was really good.

Yeah, and he's saying that's not fair. Which it isn't. So he was a drug dealer before. Having sex in public doesn't indicate he is likely to re-offend on his drug charges... It's completely unrelated. Basically ruining this guy's life because he did something bad in the past.

Most of the posts don't have anything to do with anyone getting beaten up. Usually it's legal rulings. What you've done there is an ad hominem attack in an attempt to dismiss the idea behind the sub--which is women frequently face lighter repercussions for bad actions in virtually every aspect of life apar from, say, the way they're viewed for sleeping around. That sub highlights situations in which they faced similar repercussions to non-women for the same actions. Like in this video.

We obviously do not agree. It's my opinion that you're looking for something to get angry about.

Don't be ridiculous. The song and video are a parody of the way she's portrayed in the media--running through boyfriends really fast, writing vindictive songs about them after the breakups.

I'm assuming he means the movie--it got all sorts of backlash about how it glorified violence against women. In reality, its FEMALE DIRECTOR was attempting to show the absurd lengths masculine culture had gone--where men were competing with each other over everything, including business cards, and women were little more than interchangeable objects to go to dinner with, to have sex with, to murder. Meanwhile, TS's song and video are a parody of the way she's portrayed in the media--running throu…

I think it's because a 15 year old can't make informed decisions about whether it's a good idea to have sex with an old cheerleader. Like, his hormones are going to scream at him to do it but he doesn't have the life experience to know whether it's a good idea or not. Alternatively, he may be intimidated into doing it by her age-based authority over him, or afraid of what how, i dont know, everyone on facebook will make fun of him if he DOESN'T do it. so it's wrong to put a 15 year old into that…

When being general taught about self control and conflict resolution, kids in America are taught "don't hit anyone, violence doesn't solve problems," etc. It's not particularly a gendered lesson. But when the situation arises, let's say a boy hits his sister (because they're kids), the lecture they will get will usually be a gendered one. i.e., "we don't hit women. a gentleman should not strike a lady." That sort of thing. And as they grow up into teenagers, any time there's a story on the news …

Please show me the statistical trends on "women liking to act like victims in our society." I'm not saying it doesn't happen, because obviously it does, but it's not the same thing and it's definitely not something one should just go around automatically ascribing to all women.

As I said at the end of my post: I can't speak for Fender, but I'm going to hope he was trying to explain the cutthroat and frankly disturbing way jury selection works, rather than airing out his own gender biases unsolicited. Also, I can say black people tend to like watermelon and Jews tend to be greedy. Doesn't mean I'm somehow not stereotyping just because I used a wiggle word. Fender also said "women like to act like victims in our society." That's a generality. The emotion-vs-logic thing a…

I think that in most cases, you would be correct. Most of the time, nothing bad would come of you kneeling down to talk to the child and staying nearby it until its parent finds it. But some of the time...enough of the time to give men pause...its parent will displace the blame off of themselves and onto the man. Sometimes this can have serious legal ramifications which at the very least can eat up your time and attention, and if things go bad, if the prosecution can find witnesses that say you …

Biological imperative or no, a rational person would weigh his options more closely when deciding whether to help a child in need if his own kids were at home relying on him to provide. Grab a child to stop it from getting hit by a truck? I think nearly everyone would do that without a second thought. Help a lost kid in a mall or something? Maybe not.

Upvoted you for calling out the guy's wide-brush painting style. However. Jury selection is very much about stereotypes, as well as analyzing the people in front of you. In a rape trial where the defendant is a big black man and the alleged victim is a (presumably) little white girl, you can count on an emotionally-charged argument from the prosecution. You can also bet in cases like these, prosecutors want to weed out critical thinkers and letter-of-the-law types in favor of people who respond …

It's not like the top post was trying to downplay the situation and say, "listen here now, you weren't raped, you were sexually assaulted." They were just using common parlance.

I still say pointing out her gender is relevant--this sub is purported to be a woman-hating sub, I'm sure a girl preparing to bear the brunt of the hatred would have different thoughts going in compared to a man. 121895 was working out his frustrations, attacking someone who supports his cause, even though it's not the time or place in this thread to start putting words in the OP's mouth about why she revealed her gender.

He is wrong, though. The OP being a woman is relevant in this instance.

While on the one hand I firmly believe that men are discriminated against in childcare and educational areas, I also believe what we're seeing here is just the reverse of the "no women in math/science jobs" problem. Men just don't commonly want to do that job, and it's a personal choice which is rooted in ungovernable social attitudes. So while it's a shame, that part, at least, can't really be fixed.

This determination can be made only after a thorough investigation. This should not be confused with an investigation that fails to prove a sexual assault occurred. In that case the investigation would be labeled unsubstantiated. Thereby drastically lowering the amount of "false rape claims" and boosting thei…

I don't think it was his looks that were on trial, it was his occupation as a furniture mover or whatever blue collar job he had. She didn't like him then, but when she saw him in a new suit with a new car it was like he was a new man to her and she didn't even recognize him. But the next day at work it was more of the same. It's got nothing to do with him being unattractive. The point was his perceived financial worth was the basis of whether she found him attractive. It's not like they swapped…

Short answer, no. People(women) don't trust men around their children. Even a friend of mine, who works with 10-11 year olds after school, senses that there is a bit of an unwritten rule that he is never to be alone (read: without a woman) with the children.

Let's assume whatever 7% pay gap the article is referring to is totally, 100% valid, and that it is 100% a result of sexism. What is boggling is that even if they tax men 7% to make up for this, the pay gap would still exist and remain an excuse to further punish men in the future. You think anyone is going to stop and say, hey, we already taxed those guys 7%, equality has been achieved?

It doesn't exist, not in the most commonly phrased way (women make 77 cents for every dollar men make). That's a huuuuuge distortion, because it invites the reader to assume it's "77 cents per dollar at the same job" that part is the myth. It's best not to acknowledge any relevance the statement might have, and to instead re-state the facts more neutrally.

"Only 6.5% of reported rapes end in a rape conviction." It's almost as though all reported rapes...aren't actually rapes. Sentences like this show how very little the writer understands about rape cases...Not every accused perpetrator is actually guilty, and THAT is the reason they deserve anonymity. And however traumatizing it is to be raped has nothing to do with whether the accused should be granted anonymity. Ruining some possibly innocent man's life will not make it any better for the (alle…
