3	Considering the Male Disposability Hypothesis — Maria Kouloglou What I meant is that natural selection tends to tolerate greater male loss. Losing a fertile female reduces the population’s reproductive potential more than losing a male, especially in species where a few males can father many offspring. You're still thinking about this the wrong way, at a population level rather than at an individual level. Natural selection doesn't care about a population's "reproductive potential" and it doesn't "tolerate greater male loss." What's true is that male animals…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/08/25 03:38 AM
2	Considering the Male Disposability Hypothesis — Maria Kouloglou The sex that invests less in offspring is less “protected” by evolutionary pressures, meaning each individual male (whose primary contribution is genetic material) is less critical to species survival than each individual female (whose contributions are more costly, e.g. gestation, nursing, child-rearing.) Since fewer males are required to sustain population growth, nature could afford to “spend” them. This isn't how evolution works. Natural selection is indifferent to "species survival" and "su…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/08/25 05:54 PM

1	On Feminist Claims of Female Disadvantage in Modern American Society The thing is in my original claim i have never even mentioned unwanted sexual contact i have only mentioned rape and made to penetrate You also mentioned "sexual abuse," which is the section of your comment I quoted and was responding to.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/07/25 07:00 PM
2	On Feminist Claims of Female Disadvantage in Modern American Society The CDC defines "unwanted sexual contact" as "unwanted sexual experiences involving touch but not sexual penetration, such as being kissed in a sexual way or having sexual body parts fondled, groped, or grabbed." Their definition doesn't include catcalling, since that doesn't involve any contact. Women reporting being victimized at 2x the lifetime rate and 1.75x the annual rate isn't worth remarking on. And the annual rates for rape are going to be extremely noisy, since the number of people rap…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/07/25 04:30 PM
2	On Feminist Claims of Female Disadvantage in Modern American Society On the Topic of Sexual Abuse you used the Lifetime Stats of the 2017 CDC Survey where there is a bigger difference between Man and Women. However, when you look at the annual Report the gap is much smaller. This is wrong. See pages 4-5: https://www.cdc.gov/nisvs/documentation/nisvsReportonSexualViolence.pdf "Nearly 1 in 2 women (47.6% or 59.4 million) in the United States reported unwanted sexual contact victimization at some point in her lifetime. About 5% (5.3% or about 6.6 million) reported u…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/07/25 04:01 PM
1	On Feminist Claims of Female Disadvantage in Modern American Society On the Topic of Sexual Abuse you used the Lifetime Stats of the 2017 CDC Survey where there is a bigger difference between Man and Women. However, when you look at the annual Report the gap is much smaller. These surveys typically only have adult respondents. So the gap between the lifetime stats and the annual report may be because young girls are more likely to be victims of sexual abuse than young boys. Human memory is highly fallible, so the lifetime stats can't be fully trusted either, but …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/07/25 03:55 PM
5	On Feminist Claims of Female Disadvantage in Modern American Society Excellent post. Some comments: 1 When you discuss the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, it'd be good to explicitly mention that it's conducted by the CDC. The CDC has an enormous amount of credibility in the eyes of most leftists. 2 You write: "Looking at fatal intimate partner violence, in 2021 we can observe that 34% of women were killed by an intimate partner and 6% of men were killed by an intimate partner." This is phrased incorrectly. What you should be saying is that, …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/07/25 03:46 PM
3	MASCULINITY ~ a case for courage Market transactions aren't zero sum, because they're voluntary, and (under normal conditions) people will only agree to a voluntary transaction if they think it will make them better off. On the other hand, acts of government typically are zero sum, since they involve the government using its monopoly on force to redistribute a fixed pool of resources.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/07/25 07:54 PM
11	MASCULINITY ~ a case for courage The analogy between race and gender doesn't work. Black Americans today are poor in part because their ancestors' wealth was stolen from them by white Americans, then passed down by those white Americans to their white descendants. Any claim black Americans have to reparations arises from this disparity in inherited wealth. But there's no disparity in inherited wealth between men and women. Women don't come into the world any poorer than men. Families typically split their wealth evenly between …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/07/25 07:39 PM
1	MASCULINITY ~ a case for courage A couple more comments: It is ultimately the responsibility of men to solve this issue, to be better, to change— This is profoundly misandrist thinking. The underlying attitude here is: "when women have a problem, all of society has an obligation to help them. When men have a problem, well, that's 100% their issue, and they need to fix it on their own!" In reality, human beings are individuals, not defined by their group membership, so all people everywhere have an equal obligation to rectify in…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/07/25 01:05 PM
17	MASCULINITY ~ a case for courage You claim that "it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game" but... it kind of does. First, government funding isn't unlimited, and money spent helping men has to come from somewhere else. Feminists know this, and zealously attack any government programs aimed at helping men, particularly if those programs draw on funds that might otherwise be directed to women. For instance, eleven years ago, when Obama unveiled the "My Brother's Keeper" initiative for men of color, thousands of feminists signed a pe…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/07/25 12:44 PM
