If I understand your statement correctly, your friend's mother wants to get a divorce because she has no daughters. The mother has sisters - your friend's aunts - who had daughters. But the mother herself doesn't have any female children, and your friend has no sisters. Only brothers. Your friend's mother is the only person in her extended family that has never had female children. She thinks this is a good reason to get divorced. That's crazy. Yes, being a mother, raising only boys, and being t…

But that's just it. I made this post 'tongue-in-cheek', i.e., that it's not to be taken seriously. In contrast, the bear vs man advocates really mean it. We ARE being better men. By assuming that misandrists are capable of learning from a teachable moment.

I think the biggest mistake people are making - men especially - is to take the question seriously. The only reasonable answer to the question is, 'Go meet a wild bear for yourself. Try it out and see what happens.'

Keep saying it, over and over again. Point out that you are only supporting the policy and principle of DEI, which means equality for all, and that inequality for some means inequality for everyone. Plug the idea until Hell wouldn't have it. Point out to those that send you snarky remarks that they have no good answer to your question.

Airlines do move passengers around when planes are not full, in order to ensure a safe/equal weight distribution inside the plane. That being said, if airlines don't want unaccompanied children sitting next to a male, they can do this during the seat allocation during check-in. They don't have to go out of their way to embarrass a passenger my asking/demanding that they move during the boarding process.

You are perfectly within your rights to raise your standards. Society conditions men into thinking that they have to provide everything in a relationship, and women don't have to provide anything. Well there have been plenty of times in history when men have decided that, no, they don't have accept this conditioning if it doesn't make them happy and/or violates their personal ethics, or is not in their best interests. In the 1960s, US society 'conditioned' young men that it was their place in th…

This is called the 'double bind'. The user tries to find a way to box you in so it is impossible for you to not be in the wrong. It's a characteristic of people who are generally narcissistic as well. I have a sibling who is like this. When my niece was five, I emailed him to ask what would be an appropriate birthday present for her. He told me getting her something 'wasn't necessary'. I repeatedly emailed him and he kept insisting I not get her anything. I have two other nieces who are my siste…

I don't think feminism was the ultimate origin of this. I think the origin was/is the fashionable but largely unproven assertions of so-called 'evolutionary psychology' and overly-simplistic interpretations of Richard Dawkins's book The Selfish Gene. The idea that all mate or life-partner selections are made on the basis of ability to pass on genes, and that love plays no factor, is ridiculous. Or at least, is too often accepted unquestioningly. Its acceptance has caused everyone - males and fem…

That means, however, the women with issues with men stay in the dating pool, and men as a whole are no better off. I don't think men are 'giving up' on dating. Men are just making the personal decision to exclude the women who have issues with men and/or are simply raising their standards. That's a win for men.

What a strange essay. The writer maladroitly touches on the issue of loneliness among older males (I should point out that loneliness among older people is not exclusively a male phenomenon) and how there is evidence that it has a negative health effect.

I have a pet theory that, from an anthropological perspective, it has been common in human societies for adult males and females to live somewhat segregated lives. We see this in many cultures, and in some cases the segregation is sexist or misogynistic, but not always. In Yanomami culture, for instance, groups of Yanomami live in villages usually consisting of their children and extended families. Villages vary in size, but usually contain between 50 and 400 people. In this largely communal sys…

Find a new bar and move on. No, he doesn't have to do that. He hasn't done anything wrong. The simplest and most logical thing to do is to tell the woman if she brings the kid to the bar again "someone will call the cops". It's against the law to have underage children in a bar. The law protects the kid. And in this case, the law protects the thread author and every other adult male in that bar as well.

I think part of the lesson or takeaway from the Jonah Hill's-failure-of-his-ex-to-be-a-decent-human-being-controversy is that as a man you should absolutely define your standards and boundaries, and stick to them, but keep them to yourself. Or only share them with like-minded male friends. It may seem unfair and unequal, but why paint a target on your back. The important point is to have personal standards and expectations about what you want out of a relationship, regardless of whether or not t…

When a person says something that is total nonsense, and they know it's nonsense, and everyone around them knows it's nonsense... ...it creates a kind of tension and drama.

This post has absolutely nothing to do with men's rights. The story is that an over-the-counter birth control pill has been approved by the FDA.

Yes exactly. Masculinity and maturity also means respecting yourself, deciding for yourself what you want in...relationships, careers, etc. and then working to achieve/maintain those decisions. Of course, it does not mean forcing your life decisions on others, and Mr. Hill is in no way doing this by making his statement. Forcing your life decisions on others is just another form of immaturity.

Aliens. One of the most legendary action movies of all time.

A woman raping a helpless man is a trope seen sometimes in books and movies. In the book The World According to Garp, Garp's mother is a nurse working in a veteran's hospital for World War II casualties. Her duties include nursing a ball turret gunner known only as Technical Sergeant Garp, who was severely brain damaged in combat. She rapes the brain-damaged Garp to impregnate herself and names the resulting son "T.S." (a name derived from "Technical Sergeant", but consisting of just initials).

I had an interesting discussion once with a clinical researcher who was studying the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and was running a clinical trial on a possible new treatment for it. The clinical trial only included women. When I asked why men were not included, she had sound methodological reasons for it. UTIs occur much more often in women than in men. Second, seminal fluid is bacteriostatic - it doesn't kill bacteria associated with UTIs but it prevents it from dividing and re…

So. The lesson to be learned is: Always find out the woman's opinion on who should pay on the first date BEFORE you ask. Don't ask at the same time you plan to ask her out. Space a few days between the question and the inviting her out. If she says, 'the man should always pay'', make the decision that is in your best interests. Don't be a doormat.

Thanks for the citations, I appreciate it. The assertion you mentioned by one person that 'men should do the right thing' is especially tacky and solipsistic.

Well, the average person will usually intervene or provide assistance when a close family member is attacked or threatened. Even the family dog or cat will do this sometimes. And they will do it to protect a family member regardless of the gender of the protector or the victim. There is nothing 'gendered' about that behavior at all. What the boy did was laudable and heroic, but I don't see what it has to do with men's rights.

Nowadays, I mostly see the word "creepy" to describe men who unintentionally make women uncomfortable.

What you are describing is how the word has become 'gendered'. In my experience, 'creepy' was originally used to describe a horror movie-like or Halloween-like place, thing or costume. Describing a …

This subreddit started out as a subreddit devoted exclusively to the topic of men's rights about 8 to 10 years ago. During that time it grew extensively with a membership of up to 500,000. About a year or so ago there was a marked increase in threads with an explicitly anti-feminist - and in many cases anti-women - theme or content. In many cases these posts have little to no connection to men's rights per se or how the quality of men's lives can be improved within society. It has been suggested…

I was thinking about this just the other day, after watching the "last" Bond movie on TV, called No Time to Die. The movie ends with James Bond sacrificing himself to save his lover Swann and their daughter Matilde. Later, Bond's life (and heroic sacrifice) is celebrated in M's office with M, Moneypenny, Q, and the new 007 present. It's been interesting over the years to watch how desperately and relentlessly the James Bond franchise has been made 'woke'. Most people aren't aware that before the…

And in fact, professors like this are committing fraud. The university/department/professor advertises that the course content is (in this case) Econometrics, but the actual content of the course has little to nothing to do with Econometrics.

You've decided beforehand to put the worst possible spin on this study. There is nothing in this study that says men have to do manual work. And manual work is a form of exercise.

There is another way of looking at this study. Another interpretation is that regular, physical manual work - of any kind - builds muscle strength and the ability to father children: both are aspects of our traditional understanding of masculinity. If "male" behavior results in improved health, it undermines the assertion that men are somehow 'flawed' and need to be somehow 'rehabilitated', as well as the currently-popular myth that gender is a matter of choice rather than a matter of biology.

I guess one could argue that this practice is a symptom of normalizing hostility between the sexes. Breakups are a part of life; no one is born with an instinctive ability to be successful in romantic relationships.

It's just that it makes me angry as well that the manager came to those conclusions about you, for no justifiable reason at all. My post here was after some reflection the bit of anger that boiled up I just sortve wanted to get out. And that's the thing.

Good grief, how many 6'4 300lbs child kidnappers are there out there? Most child kidnappers are women with issues. This was/is an opportunity to build your self-confidence and self-esteem. You walk up to the cashier and ask her if the store manager asked her if you walked in with your daughter. Then you walk up …

Who's "we"? Speak for yourself. Discussing feminism, critiquing feminism, analyzing feminism, not taking statements by others for granted, are all perfectly reasonable. "Hating" accomplishes nothing and just serves as a substitute for thinking about the merits and flaws of the thing being "hated". Hating feminism certainly does nothing for advancing the status of men in society. Just the opposite, it makes men look bad.

The title of the article doesn't match the content of the survey. Nowhere in the body of the data does it say that men are "scared" to chat up women. The data seems to indicate that most men surveyed don't think it's appropriate to comment on the physical appearance of a woman they don't know, and/or not 'hit on' a woman. I'm also uncomfortable with the underlying presumption that if a man doesn't want to approach a woman he doesn't know, he is somehow 'weak' or 'defective'.

When Are The Men With Peter Pan Syndrome Going To Grow Up? They did. Or rather, they never didn't grow up. They raised their standards of what constitutes an acceptable life partner. A few - quite a few - men found a woman who was/is a suitable life partner for them. A great many others decided - rightly, I would argue - that if no woman met their standards, it's better to maintain your self-worth and your standards instead of lowering them to "settle down" or fit in to other's expectations.

These comments come from a set of programming that all health and/or birth control advancements are for women's benefit only. A male BC pill would primarily benefit men and allow them to avoid involuntary parenthood. Of course, a man taking a BC pill should continue to use condoms to avoid contracting an STD, unless they are in a long-term relationship where the likelihood of this (in their judgment) is remote to impossible. The people who are making these comments don't understand this.

The Way Back is a great film, a real old-fashioned adventure story that delves into various cultures, has some great cinematography, and since it is based on a (relatively) true story, a plausible plot and ending. One of my favorites.

About 10 years ago I was attending an international conference on linguistics in Seoul. I'm not a university professor myself, just a language teacher, but I wanted to hear some of the presentations out of curiosity.

While walking around the conference venue, I noticed people would peer at my chest closely, reading my nametag. Made sense, it was an international conference and probably a …

Afterwards I would have made a transcript from the recording, and would have contacted a lawyer for advice.

I think the more self-fulfilling and intelligent response to a woman who "wants a guy who’s 6’5 and makes 7 figures" is to be a lot more selective and careful about who you get into a relationship with. If some women are excessively shallow and judgmental, that shallowness and judgementalism (sp?) should be used as a stepping stone to being something better, and not be used as a mirror. It's OK for men - or for anyone - to start being more discriminating about the kind of person you get into a r…

Absolutely. Men need to be more selective. AND, not feel guilty, and not be made to feel guilty, about being selective. Men are often expected to be the ones to take the initiative in asking someone out or in starting a relationship, but as a result if a man decides he's not interested in someone, suddenly he is cast as "a bastard".

I remember watching one of the first episodes of Bones; Temperance is interviewing a man on the street in front of a house. When the man says something she doesn't like, she hauls off and judo-chops him to the ground. The assault is presented as though it was a …

Yeah, I would have to say it is. John Irving also wrote The Cider House Rules, which is one ohis later books and is a lot less disturbing than his earlier books. John Irving is kind of the literary equivalent of Johnathan Demme or David Lynch; their early stuff is kinda weird or disturbing but their later work gets away from the "disturbing for the sake of disturbing" ethos.

Do you think the people that write these stories are condoning the fictional behaviours? Generally speaking, yes, and in the case of this particular novel/movie, yes very much so. I've you've ever read the novel, the rape scene adds absolutely nothing to the story as a whole. The novel is the biography of a, well, unusual individual, and how he was conceived adds nothing to his life history. In the scene, the author describes in graphic detail how Garp's mother settles herself down on the brain-…

There is a similar rape scene in the beginning of the novel The World According to Garp (1978) by John Irving. It was also made into a movie (1982), starring Robin Williams. The protagonist' mother rapes a brain-damaged war veteran in order to produce a child. From Wikipedia: T.S. Garp is the out-of-wedlock son of a feminist mother, Jenny Fields, who wanted a child but not a husband. A nurse during World War II, she encounters a dying ball turret gunner known only as Technical Sergeant Garp ("Ga…

You just said that above. Your words: Gaslighting is when someone tries to convince you the truth isn't the truth and your own memory is wrong. And, I'm not a feminist. Nor did I ever say I was one.

So according to you, the definition of gaslighting is "telling someone that their own memory is wrong". Where did I say the OP was wrong? I asked the OP for evidence to back up their assertion. Nowhere did I say that "they were wrong" or that society defines drunken sex as rape according to gender. The OP did not refer to a specific incident that they were involved in. So neither is their memory wrong, nor did I say that their memory was wrong. In addition, I never said that their statement was …

"Gaslighting" happens when person A makes an assertion, with evidence, and person B denies the existence of both the assertion and the evidence. The thread author provided no evidence to back up their assertion. I pointed this out. Hence, my action by definition, was not gaslighting. The thread author was either too lazy or too maladroit to provide any evidence whatsoever to back their assertion. Opening themselves up - and this subreddit - to the accusation that they are being misogynistic. In …

The OP has a point, though. Yes I would agree that the evidence suggests women are sexually harassed more in the workplace. But arguably that's because the particular workplace in question has conditioned, or as they say in modern parlance, "constructed", an atmosphere where sexual harassment is considered an acceptable practice. There are workplaces, either majority-female or predominantly female-managed, where male employees face daily discrimination and/or harassment. But women are not by nat…

Fair enough. I did not mean to imply that Wall-E was the exclusive representative of males or maleness, and your points about the movie being a commentary on how society is slowly moving into this “Utopia” of fatness and self indulgence that ultimately destroyed their world are apt. Still, I find the relationship between Wall-E and EVE as portrayed in the movie troubling, even if it is intended to be humorous. In particular the unjustified violence against a harmless (male) being.

After the class is over, you stand up and say: After class is over, you stand up and say, "Before today, I had never really thought of my whiteness and my maleness as a privilege, as something special. But after listening to today's lesson, and the shared comments, I've come to realize, yes - I am privileged. It IS a privilege to be white and male." "And you know what? It feels GREAT."

I had something similar happen to me about a year ago. I was on a short-leg flight on a European carrier, flying out of Amsterdam, in a rather small business class section. I was sitting in the second row of business, and just before we took off a uniformed employee of the airline got on and was allocated a seat in the first row, which was otherwise completely empty. She carried one rather outsized bag, and a smaller bag of duty-free shopping. She opened the overhead bin for the second row and r…

I used to be a regular Guardian reader, until this incident happened. They reported it, big splash spread, but immediately afterwards they had two or three opinion pieces/editorials on how "almost all lone shooters are male". They couldn't get back to business-as-usual bashing of masculinity fast enough. I haven't looked at their website since, and never will again.

If you are uncomfortable with unisex toilets, you can start a campaign to get rid of them. Many depilatory creams and hair-removal products such as Veet and Nair contain foul-smelling chemicals that resemble the smell of shit. Get a selection of them, test them at home, see which one is the most foul-smelling, and start a guerrilla campaign to deposit samples of it surreptitiously in target washrooms.

In a word, men and masculinity are a positive force in the world; men mostly do good, and most men are good people. A very small minority of men behave badly and/or treat others badly, but that is incidental to them being male. For me this ad basically states that men 'have a lot of work to do' to behave better and be a positive force in the world, while the (implied) little good that men actually do is incidental to the concept of what it means to be a man.

"We're not saying that all guys are bad." True. You're just saying that most guys are bad. "What we're saying is, as a collective group let's have a little less bad behavior and more good." But that statement is predicated on the assumption that most of what men do is bad, or most of men's behavior is bad, and men, as a collective group, do more bad things than good.

Right, but "masculinity" is a human characteristic, while "feminism" is an ideology. A philosophical belief system, subject to intellectual inquiry. Criticizing "masculinity" or "femininity" is like criticizing being left-handed. If you substitute "toxic feminism" for "toxic femininity", you axiomatically exclude the suggestion that masculinity is somehow toxic.

Exactly. Because of an a priori value judgement that masculinity itself is bad. But if masculinity is the cause of bad social behavior, then 99% of males would behave badly most/all of the time, and females would almost never behave badly. We know from measured scientific observation and everyday life that this is not the case. In fact, 99% of males do not engage in bad social behavior. So logically it follows, masculinity is not the cause of bad social behavior. If someone has a pathological pe…

Masculinity and bad social behavior are two separate things. We know this because some women commit crimes, hurt people, and/or engage in antisocial behavior. Some are mentally ill, but most women who engage in bad behavior do it due to personality factors. The fact that they're women is irrelevant. They would probably behave just as badly if they are men. So you don't eliminate bad behavior in men by manipulating their masculinity. Or manipulating masculinity in general. That's like trying make…

Not at all. Paternity fraud is a core issue in the men's rights movement. But it does no good to men or to society in general to misrepresent, either accidentally or deliberately, the instances or statistics on the occurrence of paternity fraud. Clearly, in this instance, the story of what happened to this family does not constitute paternity fraud. The mother had her first child, the father of the child died shortly after the child was born. She then later entered into a relationship with a man…

Let me spell it out for you. Woman as a baby girl. Father of the baby girl - the woman's first partner - passes away shortly after the baby girl is born. Mother of the baby girl, and a male friend, fall in love and decide to have more children. They have additional children, and decide to tell the first child that the man is also her father. Consequently, it is impossible for the male partner NOT to know the first child is not his. Both parents, for whatever reasons, decide to tell the children …

Why can't we hate men? Here are some reasons: If you rationalize hating men, then you automatically rationalize other forms of hate. If it's OK to hate men, then why isn't it ok to hate Jews, Muslims, or women? Once you allow the hatred of any group of people, you automatically get bleed-over and other forms of hate become acceptable. It was the widespread hatred of men that created alt-right, the red pill, and incels in the first place. If you allow that hatred of men is OK, hatred is your firs…

Exactly. If men and women are to be treated equal, then it's ok to let male actors to play to their strengths, and female actors play to theirs. Men seem to do a good job playing buddy-comedy movies like Ocean's Eleven, and women often do a good job playing supernatural horror movies like the Descent or (an old example) Poltergeist. One of the big themes of Poltergeist was the bond between mother and daughter, but that didn't make the movie any less interesting to a general audience. One of the …

She didn't "step in". She inserted herself into a situation where she was not needed. The woman was talking to her BF, and so it's a fairly safe assumption she was not giving off any signals, consciously or subconsciously, to anyone around her that she was needing help.

The decent thing to do would be to be just as conscious of the guy's feelings as the girl's.
