I have to disagree with you. It is the right of the parent to make medical decisions on behalf of their children, but routine circumcision is not medically necessary. Because of this, routine circumcision is little more than societal demands on what men do with their bodies. This is what makes it a men's rights issue and the perogative of the MRM to address it.

I've come across this as I'm currently looking for grants to help fund an NGO to stop/reduce human trafficking. This is an issue that affects men and women differently but the laws regarding trafficking should protect both men and women equally. Despite this, there are huge amounts of grants targeted solely to female victims, leaving male slaves and those fighting for them, out in the cold.

I think this is the best thing about the whole article. The main issue that I have with reporting on gender issues is that they have so many assumptions. Admitting uncertainty or overlap is the most honest approach in journalism that we almost never see. Glad to see it here.

You are getting a few downvotes, but you are right, the kid is only 16. The problem is that he will most likely grow up believing this but having no context for his own struggles. This happened to me and a few others who have commented here. Maybe calling him a white knight is harsh, but this post reveals much about him, his education in gender issues and how this mirrors the experiences of other men here and in the real world.

This is not like the States, if the child is taken into Child Youth and Family the institution doesn't seek recompense as it is totally government funded. The child will likely be adopted in which case all costs will be covered by the adoptive family.

Not a Men's Right's Issue I would say it is a MR's issue in that the trans community includes men who are women, and women who are men. As these people are, or were, men this sort of prejudice is something we should be interested in. Plus, it seems that the LGBT community would be natural allies in a discussion or action against gender barriers i.e. laws that include gendered terms; and rad-fem exceptionalism. That's just my two cents though.

Yeah that was referencing the other case with the 45-year-old Hamilton woman was jailed for 22 months for having sex with a 15-year-old boy. I find it significant that despite describing it as an attack later in the story, it is still not called rape. She had sex "with" the 15 year old boy as opposed to raping him.

This is another article from stuff.co.nz about the case and has more information regarding this issue in NZ. Also I'm curious as to : The incident is only one of a handful that has gone through the courts since law changes that treat men and women equally as sex offenders were passed more than six years ago. Because as OP says, the current laws regarding rape in NZ focuses exclusively on penetration. Must only be in relation to child exploitation?

safe spaces / gender discussion spaces are different things I think gender discussion could take place in safe spaces, and indeed they do among other functions. As for the semantics point, I was trying to say that once a space is both safe and open, how specific space is shared is for those involved to discuss and decide what a "safe space" means for them. I think we are at an impasse at this point. At its crux, feel we disagree about "separate but equal" and I don't think we are going to change…

What I think is unfair is to put the onus to create these spaces on women-focused groups. I'm not really arguing for that. More that, support spaces not be restricted by gender. This is not about taking space away from female victims of DV or feminists, but to open these spaces to male DV victims or MRA points of view. How this space is shared is semantics but the idea that support institutions should be open, instead on closed, in order to create "safe" spaces. The reality is that there are fin…

whether it's justified or not is another issue I kinda think this is the issue. The idea that personal sensitivity (no matter how legitimate) should be a barrier to inclusivity is part of what restricts male victims from seeking help. As u/meeeow said below, they believe that there is no interest in setting up male support spaces....And they said this in a men's rights space where the lack of male support is of key interest.

Well that specific comment was about how MRAs and feminists talk about each other and what could be achieved by cohabitation. As to your point about a safe space being about being "aimed to support issues from a female specific perspective: rape, assault, violence, domestic abuse, sexual health info" - men have these issues but don't have the social capital to receive the support they need. Which is why there are so few if any (depending on area) victim support or shelters that accept men, let a…

You think putting feminists and MRAs in an enclosed space would end well? I wasn't actually thinking about that but if it was an actual 'safe space' then yeah, I think a place where these two groups could get together under a rules of conduct could actually work. People could talk to each other rather than speaking about each other, circle-jerking about "the other". More to the point though: I still have to disagree that men by their nature preclude a space from being safe; or that a shared supp…

I'm not sure how it is a free speech area if some people are not allowed to speak. I also think there should be allocated space for support, but that space should be non-gendered. Have a space where victims of discrimination, violence, etc can gather, organise and support each other. I think history has shown that "separate but equal" doesn't work and even if it did, it still wouldn't be right.

Because their are legitimate reasons for doing so. You can't spend centuries enforcing British dominion led by the English and then not take responsibility for the lack of disaster relief or terrible economic and property policy. Well you can, but you rightly get flack for doing so. Nor can you ignore English absentee land owners who after exploiting Irish workers, exported food (under guard) to Europe and America.

Did you even read the wiki? Cecil Woodham-Smith, an authority on the Irish Famine, wrote in The Great Hunger: Ireland 1845-1849 that no issue has provoked so much anger and embittered relations between England and Ireland as "the indisputable fact that huge quantities of food were exported from Ireland to England throughout the period when the people of Ireland were dying of starvation." Ireland remained a net exporter of food throughout most of the five-year famine. Christine Kinealy writes tha…

I know a girl who has done a couple gender studies papers and when I asked about men's issues she mentioned a segment on erectile dysfunction advertising, and how it is continually advertised to younger men (in the 30 year old range) and plays on male sexual insecurities.

My point is that it doesn't matter who you are, we are all (and should remain) open to insult. Someone calls a man a dick so now the floodgates are open? It is quite clear that in this scenario this is a woman calling a man a dick, because men call each other "dickhead" all the time without accusations of falling into a MRA stereotype.

Yip, that's the stuff.

My area is Political Science (so not the hard sciences of STEM but), reading feminist theory of international relations was something I had to learn as part of my undergrad.

I had never heard about the link between HPV and other cancers besides cervical. I found this at the [CDC website] (http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/) Each year, more than 21,000 HPV-associated cancers occur in women; cervical cancer is the most common. More than 12,000 HPV-associated cancers occur each year in men; oropharyngeal cancers are the most common.

That is your right and if you don't want to have that sort of stuff in your life, all power to you.

I am sure that many people agree with the sentiment that a particular gender should not be favoured in the STEM (or any other) fields, but that is not what your original comment said. The comment was far too broad in that it you said 'women', without any qualifier to indicate that your point was made to 'some' women who enrol in STEM. You may not have meant to do this, but the language used in that comment made implications purely on gender.

You shouldn't be receiving downvotes either. That is a sexist comment. A better one should discuss how feminism interacts with science in some interesting ways. Dawkins has mentioned a few times about how post modern thinking and feminism has attempted to critique how 'hard' science is practised.

I think a point that you should include is that there are gender roles on both sides (and that this in of itself is not evidence of a patriarchy); yet due to those who make the majority of household purchases your hypothesis is that advertising is more likely to reinforce negative male stereotypes in contrast to positive female stereotypes an effort to mobilise their dominate markets i.e. women. Then show a few ads that support this point.

Though, in this context public opinion can mean profit. If certain games are targeted and held up as being anti-women because it has a 'damsel in distress' theme, that can hurt sales and future game funding.

It is well established that gender is distinct from sex, that is the reality.

You keep making the argument that if we treat people as the gender they wish, then we have to treat the people who think they are president, as president (among other ridiculous comparisons on your part).

The only thing I found to be related to men's rights was the line "Trans- women are not female". (4:38) In that it is this man's choice to be a woman (or vice versa) and had as much right to be there because of that choice. Other than that, this was a pretty shit video and post

The analogy doesn't work if you talk solely about online multi-players but we are talking about the medium of games, which do share the same story telling elements of the other mediums, not multiplayer exclusively. Also, this is where the gender critique of games comes into play, story and character development, and less about the online facet. Very few games mix narrative with online play (WoW is what first comes to mind) but instead focuses on competition and mechanics of play like DOTA, TF2, …

You've never had a conversation about books? Or heard of book clubs? Every medium has an element of social interaction based around the enthusiasm for the medium itself and the different stories that are told. And while yes there is an element of social interaction within the game, 12 year olds calling each other nigger-faggot over COD is hardly something to espouse. But then again, what is your point? What does it matter that, "that interaction will overwhelmingly be males."

Yeah that attitude is shit. I have found though that if you frame the issue in that games are just another form of medium, like film or literature, it might show them how silly their arguments are. I would hope that no one here would argue that books are a male space, and that we should be left alone. It is just another form for getting a narrative out there.

In Mass effect, the key themes and story arc doesn't shift if you choose fem Shepard or male Shepard. And you are totally right in that women should have a voice in how this industry progresses.

Yeah it is a very tough situation. I too would feel uncomfortable but considering the low level of risk when using a condom, at what point does our appreciation of risk become prejudice? Just a thought.

I doubt that this will be the last of it and it would be worth going to the High Court. It might be worth noting New Zealand courts recently decided that a HIV+ person has to offer their status before unprotected sex and that this might play into a common law precedent regarding this man's consent or lack thereof.

No, any say a man would have, would impede on the rights of the woman to do what she wants with her body. I would advocate extending parental rights to men regarding choice. Much in the same way women already do. In a practical sense I would imagine this being along the lines of contract law, where a couple would be able to register intention or, upon learning of pregnancy, the other partner would sign a intention of parental responsibility. I think this would help stem unwanted pregnancy and ab…

At no point did I suggest that she doesn't have the right to do what she wants with her own body. All I am saying is that the choice to have sex is not synonymous with 18 years (at the least) of financial responsibility or emotional investment. As for you last sentence: they all chose to have sex, only she made the choice to remain pregnant.

Sex and pregnancy are not synonymous. The choice to have sex is so far divorced from the reality of pregnancy as to be no choice at all. The woman had the choice to take a morning after pill, the extended morning after pill (that works for a couple of weeks), she could've chosen to have an abortion any day between when she became pregnant to whatever period she is allowed by U.S. law. She had all those choices directly related to her pregnancy and she chose to stay pregnant. These men chose to h…

I feel that I will be going against the tide here but: I do feel that the developing world has different issue sets and that feminism might well have a place within this context. I really don't know enough about Tanzania to say either way but if there is a patriarchy in some of these places then a feminist approach may well be called. I wouldn't say this would be an answer for equality per se and nor should they claim as such, but it may be effective in addressing female issues.

I always come against the idea that female on male violence is less serious because women are generally smaller. So even if I do manage to prove that this violence exists, it is considered not as serious because women aren't as "physically menacing" as men. This produces assumptions that even if the rates of abuse are the same, the level of injury they are producing are much different i.e women have greater levels serious injury. I haven't found anything either way.

I think it is important to frame this issue and other men's rights issues both episodically and thematically.

My mate has a 7-8ish year old daughter, when ever she has a friend from school over he refuses to be in the house alone with them, making his wife stay.

Yes, you are right. The same laws should apply to both genders. If the original story involved a female there would be no doubt that this was rape.

I really enjoyed seeing this. The understated way he approached this but came off as reasonable while countering the assumptions many interviewers would agree or ignore.

That is rough dude - I offer you an internet hug. It is totally cool for you to laugh at that sort of stuff. Indeed, I have made friends in such random situations. That woman clearly had her own issues to deal with and it had nothing to do with you. Here I give you some back slaps to reinforce the internet hug.

I thought this was a well known phenomena? It is like the old relationship advice about getting men to listen instead of offering solutions. It is part of who we are. That being said I have seen a number of stories here with people telling their story and getting moral support. But I like that MRs looks at evidence and approaches many issues with logic. It makes me feel that these issues are real and tangible and not based on my, or others, possibly flawed interpretations.

I would offer that it really depends on the act and actor. If we think about a forceful rape whether it be physical or manipulative I would yes they are different from the majority. I would contend they probably have anti-social personality disorder with narcissist tenancies i.e. other people don't matter but they can serve my interests as tools. But if we look at other rape such as late night drunken date rape with a girl bordering on consciousness, then yes, this can be anyone. On the plus sid…

My partner and I disagreed on this. I can't remember her position exactly but it was something along the lines of being selfish, that it's not the kids fault and saying this kid was five years old or something, you've made the attachment and you 'are' its father, biology or not. So it got me thinking: It is a fair point, that all of the emotions that surround this, the deception of the woman, the other guy who is gets off scot-free, you and the 'wasted' resources has nothing to do with this chil…

Maybe it is just the people I have gone out with in the past but I have never done this or even thought about it. I'm from New Zealand though so for all I know this could be an American thing. Is that true? Or a certain States more or less likely to do expect this? Edit: fudged a couple words.

You're right in that it is unfair that you never had a chance to give consent. Now that it has happened though and what is lost is lost, I think you should focus on the positives; like your dick still works and I hear in America they prefer it cut. I'm not trying to belittle your feels, but getting down in the dumps over this isn't going to make your life any better, look positive.

Thanks a lot for this post and especially the linked article about the rape of men.

I like your point about being 'emotionally intelligent' and how these sorts of compliments actually underscore stereotypes or assumptions about different groups. Here is a funny video along the same lines where Chris Rock is talking about media commentary about Colin Powell and was mirrored later by the media's take on Obama when he was running early on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj050bz-k9o

That was the weirdest thing I have read in a while. But seeing as it is so far removed from reality, I think we can read this as a scary story, like something from the Twilight zone.

That is awesome. Well done Aussies, hopefully NZ can get its shit together next.

The problem with your argument (that the choice to have sex is the choice to risk babies) is that sex these days is so far removed from the realities of pregnancy but more importantly the woman made the choice that was inflected on him. He chose to have sex, while she made the continuous decision to have and keep the baby. So he didn't make a choice, she did. She made sober choices for the entire term of her pregnancy from morning after pill, abortion or adoption; and yet you are equating those …

How do you respond to the basic argument though, that women can't be sexist without getting lost in semantics? I.e. I could argue against the idea of patriarchy in the West or Feminists making up their own definition of sexism but I feel I would get bogged down and the point would be lost. Nothing it seems has the punch of feminist arguments as they are so ingrained and spoken with such conviction. While I'm shocked at the blatant sexism in that definition of sexism, I feel I am struggling again…

You think she would actually accuse you of rape because she had been drinking?

You're literally engaging in rape myth-building as you argue against rape myth-building. Your rejection of the "exculpatory evidences" you just named are 100% classic feminist strawman building as there was no implication that "letting a man into one's home is equivalent to night-long consent". How does that level of manipulation and vindictiveness even feel? This post is so telling about your mindset it is simply chilling, and I can't help but think of its implications to your own behaviour wit…

On Reddit I would generally respond to someone in a gender neutral fashion because there is a comparatively large female population here. Especially when compared to 4chan where you can generally assume posters as male because women often announce themselves in their posts with something like "feminon here, blah de blah blah." I would also ascribe to much of the assumptions of male or female language outlined by PostPatriachalMan (who is currently top comment) where men are logical while women e…

Or turn it against them by saying that as a victim of molestation you are statistically more likely, than those who haven't, to molest others. For the sake of the children we should ask that you don't sit next to children, anywhere.

I was livid by the time I got to the pregnancy part of this rant: "[R]eproductive consequences are women’s to bear alone." In what developed country is this being any way close to being the case. And where is this 'physical safety' I apparently have? Is there a social norm where it is unacceptable in all cases to hit a male?

Isn't there a large amount of evidence to suggest that men in particular engage in risk taking behaviour in their youth and up until the ages of 25 or something? And that accident statistics across the board correlate this information? Your case sucks but insurance works from formulas that you got the shit end of.

This is when you need to pull the earmuffs trick from "Old School" and tell her to fuck right off.
