Mic is a diverse news and media company for young people. Our mission is to inform, inspire, and empower our generation to make change happen. Each month, more than 65 million young people rely on Mic to make sense of the world. It is hard to say. It is entirely possible it is a parody, but if you go to their website they seem to actually believe it.

Honestly? You give them a hard no and they will learn from the experience. It sucks the first time you get shut down like that, but it is better than having a "what if" bouncing around in your head. If you get into the Evolutionary Psych behind this behaviour in men it is clear that guys are terrible at telling friendly actions apart from romantic interest, and that this makes perfect sense since it primes guys to jump on any chance they can get since playing the odds is a good way to continue y…

I am actually with you on it being somewhat rude. I won't ask for a number unless I have interacted with a women off of the job. It can sometimes be hard to know if she is being personable / flirting because she wants to keep customers happy or get more tips. If you interact off the job and her behaviour is the same then you know there is potential interest. It is far from harassment though.

We have a problem with the media smearing men who have been arrested for all manner of crime. It is hypocritical to care about wording in those cases and not apply it across the board.

The next generation of teachers of Manitoba will be a shining rainbow of diversity. As colourful as they may be, however, don’t expect them to represent the world as it actually exists. Or to be the best of all possible candidates.

It is very true, and part of the reason I am so angry at the Canadian government for deciding to stick with a time table over the logical route of taking in people at a reasonable rate....anyways... The argument would be that the Syrians can't be expected to live in refugee camps in the long term.

Well, they have to choose between admitting they were wrong about importing people from a regressive society en-masse, or choose to further demonize their favourite political punching bags.

I really do prefer when they are up front about this kind of thing. Usually I filter them out based on their profile picture, but from time to time you get a human sized profile picture with these kinds of sentiments attached. To add some nuance, I don't care if cares about women's rights or even considers themselves feminist, but putting it on their dating profile tells me they far to radical to have a healthy relationship with.

This is why co-operative education should become the standard for university education. I have 2 years of industry experience under my belt for when I graduate in May.

Harper needed to go (for a variety of reasons, closest to me was the gutting of science funding) but I really wish it was a minority government. I also don't care all that much about the cost, it is just that people who don't support themselves are going to have a hell of a time integrating. We might have another situation like that in the UK where you get huge cultural ghettos where instead of contributing to our culture those groups close inwards and get more and more radical.

Given how crappy their plan is, this is probably the best way to do it.

I agree they are in some respects a symptom, and like I said, if they are political in nature then I couldn't condone them, but I think saying they exist because of a perceived opposition between men and women in the workplace is going a little too far. This is simply because typically men enjoy the company of men, and women enjoy the company of women.

I feel like you should make one distinction, whether these groups are feminist and / or political in nature. I will agree with you if we are talking about things like "pressure groups" who seem to disregard that equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome.

This probably won't be a popular opinion here, but the fact that women's professional organizations exist is not a problem. The problem is demonizing men's organizations. It is not a zero sum game. I 100% agree people calling men's clubs or organizations "sexist" is discrimination, but unless it is in the mandate of these women's organizations to shut down males one I don't see the problem.

This is for sure some form of discrimination, but from a business perspective it makes sense. Hear me out for a second on this.

It is not fun stuff. I am taking it as a short term stimulate to deal with sleeping problems (I am trying to switch over to modafinil, but this works so my doctor is hesitant to try anything until I have a few weeks open to wash out and start the new stuff) The side effects are annoying and I have lost hours to what I would call hyperfocus.

Not private, it is a public high school. The "institutes" that the TDSB offers are essentially specialty high schools that cater to a certain area of study. You might have to travel further to go there, but there is no additional cost.

I don't see how that follows, offering a girls only course in addition to a normal and gifted course does not change the ability of the boys to take other courses.

I can understand this, they want as many people as possible in their game, so they figured out a way to try to bring more women in hoping to market it better to them.

There is likely something out there given many schools are still segregated. My father described it to me as the high school he went from changed from all boys to mixed when he was half way through. He felt that only having males did foster more competition, but healthy competition. People were more focused on the work rather than on the girls. That being said he did feel socializing with girls his age was also beneficial, so it is not a clear cut case.

I agree to be honest. It is not a problem if they are offering a male only option as well, and having a female only course is not wasting resources. Also, in my experience the dynamic of a classroom changes when there both genders in the room at that age. It is not a bad thing in my mind to remove some of the distraction caused by the level of hormones in a 15-16 year old's blood at any given time.

In some regards it is true. I should find the source again, but essentially the mean intelligence between men and women is the same, but the distribution for males has a higher standard deviation. This means there are more men at the top of the intelligence scale as well as more at the bottom. For the average person this makes no difference, but when you are looking at the best of the best you can see the effect.

It is going to become a huge problem in developed countries over the next generation. We are not replacing ourselves so the social support structures in place are either going to have to drastically change or they will collapse entirely. You can use immigration to overcome this to some degree but that is not a perfect solution in the slightest and certainly is not long term.

I mean if you look at the "romanticized" suicides in literature and history for women vs men you see more pills and wrist cutting for women and things like a shot to the head for males. It is almost impossible to separate the attention seekers from the legitimately suicidal and in either case that individual needs help of one form or another. It is not a zero sum thing. That being said the fact that males choos…

There was a very cool take on addressing the problem in a city in Bangladesh. They created an app that was hooked up with the police system and if a woman was harassed she could mark where it took place and if needed call for help. There are some problems with the system of course, and having it on a smartphone does exclude the poor, but overall it is something being done to help fix the culture in that country. That idea could be extended to a lot of other problems as well, it is quite interest…

It is BS in a lot of circumstances, but from what I can tell the reason for this is that the definition of professional attire for males is significantly more strict than for women. I would suspect it has something to do with the fashion industry being dominated by female clothing options and quite a bit of "creep" on the standards over the years. If us males want to change this we need to do what women have successfully done and change the definition of what is appropriate in the workplace. Tha…

It is not fair to call it a "pseudoscience", it is more of a "soft science".

For example you would be taken to a hospital if you spoke often about your speech with dead relatives, but in some cultures ancestor worship is an accep…

I second the TF2 observation. Generally when a female comes onto mic they are treated like any other player assuming a 13-15 year old is not in the game on mic. Those that just play are respected, those that start talking about how they are a girl or have a boyfriend or what not are usually laughed at and ignored. As for the 13-15 year old usually they are mic-muted by everyone almost immediately and ignored.
