it is also a form of privilege to create a hierarchy of problems that disregards some, when all of the problems need to be fixed. So, like ignoring problems faced almost exclusively by almost half of the population in order to focus entirely on the "problems" of the other half? I will never understand how a movement can be considered to fight for true equality when it is only concerned with the effect on half of all people.

I'm sorry but you misunderstand me, I totally agree that it should be called rape. I was just saying that the criminal act known as 'forcible rape' involves the victim being penetrated. I'm among the first to say that such a narrow definition that for all intents and purposes defacto excludes swathes of victims is wrong.

Forcible rape is term used for a criminal offence that has a very narrow scope. I wasn't saying it's right or supporting it! I was merely highlighting an issue that could help account for the disparities highlighted in the comment which I was replying to. It's pretty shameful that this sub has devolved to a state of name calling the moment you don't agree with something. Especially when it turns out you've just completely misunderstood the post.

Have you considered that for a man to be forcibly raped he has to be penetrated which does not frequently happen to the subset of straight men who are the victims of sexual abuse in general society?

From my understanding CS gas, mace and pepper spray are all different albeit similar compounds. Taken from the relevant wiki page discussing the use of CS in the UK The CS spray used by police forces is in the form of a hand-held aerosol canister containing a 5% solution of CS dissolved in methyl isobutyl ketone and propelled by pressurized nitrogen. The CS spray used by UK police is generally more concentrated than that used by American police forces. The liquid stream is directed where the use…

Actually in typical usage condoms are only about 82% effective. Which realistically only leaves celibacy or vasectomy (which still isn't 100% effective but let's ignore that for now). How reasonable is it to say that if you don't want to be a father right at this moment you can either A. forego sex or B. forego any ability to be a father in the future? I don't think anyone reasonable is running around shouting men should be able to have stupid risky sex all they like without repercussion. but to…

This is true. Really the justification for lower premiums for women is that women as a group cost insurance companies less money which is purely because they spend much less time driving when compared to men. It just pisses me off when I hear the whole "women pay less because they are safer drivers" thing. Especially when research exists which indicates that women are more likely to be in accidents in general, the only exception being fatal (and often unavoidable) accidents which men are more of…

In that situation it's worth pointing out that men and women opt for very different suicide methods. There are likely many more male attempted suicides as it's much harder to track the instances where men put a gun in their mouth and then take it out again then say women who attempt to overdose on prescription drugs. As an aside, it's good to know the CDC really have their priorities in order when tackling suicide. I mean look at the emphasis placed on the method that women tend to take http://w…

You're claiming that AMR is unaware of how widespread this epidemic is, so there must be plenty of evidence of it which creates discussion.

I don't know what to make about the whole high %age of rapes are committed by individuals who are known personally to the victim stats because they tend to come from the organisations with the most inconceivably broad definition of rape. However it is still irrational as the chance of being a woman the victim of forcible rape in the US is ~0.001% per year. This was worked out using quick and dirty maths based on the population of females in the USA (159468332.32) and reported rate of rape commit…

OK well to be fair that sounds like a pretty good product if you personally get on with it.

That sounds like reasonable and appropriate action to take. As you said, an elected official should be able to maintain composure and argue a point without devolving into personal insults.

Yes I did read her comment, however are you sure you did? She lived in constant fear for her safety and life due to threats. She said she thinks feminists did it because they were actively harassing her and stealing her previously printed books so that they couldn't be sold. She already had a book deal but editors that took exception to what she was saying effectively said there was no way her books could be published in their current form so they it weren't printed anymore.

Well, sorry I got it wrong. Wikipedia and some of the referenced news sources state that the dog was killed. At the time she was being viciously harassed by feminists.

Because women should understand that they should never accept friendly gestures from a man without understanding that they are implicitly offering sexual interest. There is a difference between a friendly gesture among friends and a date. Also are you trying to say that a woman who talks to a single guy on a night out right up until the moment where they leave the bar with drinks in hand where she then simply walks away has accepted a friendly gesture as opposed to having manipulated his generos…

Well there is the reasoning written in the change itself that states that the a disproportionate amount of scholarships were awarded to white males (when compared to their application rate) and it is hard to imagine that white males as a whole have just consistently known the material that much better the entire time before the change.

Actually you can when research and evidence supports it. This isn't discrimination.

I'm sorry but you can't argue for equality while saying that it's unfair that legislation was changed because there was a recognised area where a group was clear disadvantaged due to circumstances outside of their control just because it doesn't help your 'side'.

Possibly but it is reasonably well known that males do notably better sit down exams than females do. I don't disagree that scholarships should go to those most able but eligibility should also be assessed in a way that doesn't unfairly advantage one group. In the UK it's done by means of a mixture of exams and coursework as opposed to a perpetual grade that runs through. There does need to be stricter controls on the kind of bullshit pointed out in this story though, either through systems like…

There isn't anything inherently wrong with that, in fact it is a good thing given that males were making up the bulk of those who qualified for scholarships. So that change in legislation was arguably a good thing. The problem is that personal bias is slipping into the grading of school work which is specifically affecting boys to a greater extent than girls. Which can't really be fixed with legislation other than making all grading anonymous which would be next to impossible to implement for da…

From the wealth of my experience all I can suggest is that if the shit does hit the fan and she tries to walk, don't keep fighting because it will make things worse and she will probably then start to twist your words and actions. But for now don't worry about the ifs, enjoy your evident happiness together :)

Then she wakes up in a cold sweat because she allowed filthy potential rapist hands to desecrate her precious credit cards that carry the huge debt she has amassed supporting herself but doesn't think she should have to pay back to the male owned banks.

My favourite was the person who said "As long as there are male-only spaces created in conjunction with female-only spaces then I do not see a problem. For example, in trains you can have male-only carriages and female-only carriages (there are many countries in the world where this is done and everyone feels safer). Also, certain sections of restaurants, bars, clubs etc. can be reserved for men only and certain other areas for women. Also, certain classes at universities could be more segregate…

It doesn't mean that either movement is a bad thing. I mean there are bad things but for example I don't think anyone is going to look at China or India and say there aren't problems uniquely faced by baby girls in those cultures that it feminism (along with every other compassionate individual/organisation) could and probably should try to address. I'm just trying to call a spade a spade here :)

The problem is they are demanding equal rights for females and completely ignoring areas where women have a better deal than men.
