I'll be real with you, please don't do this. We don't have the technology to allow people to change sex, all we can do is royally f*** up your body. Whatever your troubles are, they are almost certainly better than ruining your body in pursuit of an impossible goal. Remember, you only get one body for your whole life. Most damage can't be fixed. I have a transman in my family and... it hasn't been pretty. Everything else I would say has been covered here. Except: A lot of people in the subreddit…

Yeah, I LOLed when I read that defense, but I don't blame the lawyer. A. It's his job to defend her,even if he knows she did the crime. B. He's probably a public defender. C. He had literally nothing to defend her with, no witnesses in her defense, nothing.

Great, I'm glad you have a plan, and I didn't mean to try to discourage you from it. (If it came across that way.) I've also known people who love ESL and do it their whole career. I hope that's true for you, but remember that if you get tired of it decide to change courses later, that's completely OK. There's lots of opportunity out there, and as you get more experience you'll have more options. "All this shall be for your good." I'm really sorry your school decided to hate you instead of help …

I want to become an English teacher for ESL in Japan. Do you need an English major for that? I lived in Korea for a couple of years, (not as an English teacher) and the private cram-schools would take any native speaker. But you got better jobs with a degree. I recall the Japanese government recruiting students around my campus when I was at school, but that was 20 years ago. (JET program?) I would consider that plan risky as a long-term career goal. A lot of people burn out on it pretty quickly…

You're majoring in English? That's part of your problem right there. I love English literature, but there are very, very, few decent university departments left in the world for it. They ran out of useful research to do in the fifties, and then post-modernism hit and everyone realized they could just publish whatever they wanted with no evidence because it's all subjective anyway. So over time the soul-enriching literature has all be replaced with hateful ranting trying to pull everything down. …

I agree with "if you didn't want to marry, you shouldn't have dated." I've seen WAY too many people not cut off a relationship when it obviously wasn't going anywhere. Then they drift along unhappily and often even up in an unhappy marriage. Or worse, they get baby trapped by a woman they knew was crazy. Dating a woman not worth marrying is a gamble with no upside.

I only have daughters who are naturally quiet and scholastic, so I didn't worry as much as I would've if I had sons. But I would like to get involved with a parent group to push for less "safety-ism" in schools.

There's quite a bit of evidence that all boys schools improve boy learning. Last I heard the effect of same-sex schools on girls is negligible. Although I'd put money that this has more to do with the fact that our co-ed schools now exclusively cater to girls. For example, boys love competition. But public schools these days HATE competition and try to stop it whenever it comes up. Boys love running around, my kids' schools banned running on the blacktop, and they make it difficult to get to the…

Patriarchy is just a secular version of original sin The Patriarchy is more like Satan. Everything bad is due to the patriarchy, even for problems that directly contradict each other. Women more likely to get custody? Patriarchy is assuming women are caretakers. Men more likely to get custody? Patriarchy is taking mothers from children. Men and women get equal custody? Patriarchy is covering for abusive men. I wouldn't even call it secular. It doesn't invoke a Christian god, but it certainly inv…

If you just want to know how I guessed that, I'll explain a bit. There are two kinds of adoption, closed and open. The only reason (I can think of) that the adoptive parents would care that they lost contact with the birth mom, and would be interested in contacting the birth father, is if the adoption is open. So the kid must know. https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubpdfs/openadoption.pdf

You should check with someone with more adoption experience. There is adoption in my extended family, but I am far from an expert on this. That said, I don't think this guy is trying to get you to "be the Dad." As I understand these things, he wouldn't even be expecting you to meet her in the immediate future. You're both just feeling things out. He's not going to want to expose his daughter to a possible weirdo, and you aren't sure what's going on, so caution is warranted on all sides. Still, I…

It sounds like she knows she's adopted. At six she probably doesn't care much, but often kids become interested in their parents as adolescents. Assume you're a good guy, and you're not going to try to get custody, and nobody is trying to get money out of anybody, I would cautiously engage.

I would argue you're using an overly narrow definition of "power." You seem to only be considering stable, systematic power. But human power dynamics are in constant flux. Even temporary power is still power. For example, the President of the United States has great systemic power. But when Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK, he was exercising power over him. He just had to wait for his chance. Guns give people violence power, but just like all forms of power, someone more powerful may stop you or punis…

capital: "wealth in the form of money or other assets owned a person organization or available or contributed for a particular purpose such as starting a company or investing." I think you just meant "those in power." Which is also kind of the definition of oppression, that is, you have to have power over someone to oppress them, and presumably the reason you're oppressing them is to benefit yourself. Money is one kind of power, but it's certainly not the only one, and not even the most powerful…

Yes, every relationship is a fight to the death! Give no ground, you must conquer your spouse! That will bring happiness! Get real. You can have your hobbies, but sometimes you have to work with your partner to raise a family. I take it you've never had a long-term successful relationship?

Man, you got a lot of bad advice to divorce your wife in here. This is a very common problem for couples to have, and yeah, I had it too. But unless you want to ruin your daughter's life and become a miserable MGTOW hermit, you won't divorce over this. Your wife IS being overly emotional, but it's not abuse, it's just how women are. The fact that she wants to spend time with you is a good thing, not a bad thing, but it can get to be too much. So you are going to have to find some kind of balance…

I think I covered that pretty thoroughly. The answer is, yeah, that's more possible now than it used to be, and I have some friends who did that. However, small children do need full-time care from somebody, and there are still quite a few reasons why in MOST cases the female is the clear choice. Sure there are exceptions, there were exceptions in the past as well. In general I'm not a fan of enforcing rules in cases where they don't work.

Ah, sorry, that was a bit unclear. I was referring to older societies where we didn't have things like cars and sanitary napkins. (So over 200 years ago) Walking or riding a horse for many days was just more difficult for women. Not impossible, but since you need some people at or near the home base anyway, generally women got that role. You can read about it in the pioneer journals and other histories. If you were carrying a whole camp along, the women came along and did fine. But you can read …

The reason why "traditional" gender roles are traditional is because they work for most people most of the time, and have for a VERY long time. Women are just more biologically valuable in the home. They get pregnant and literally feed the babies from their bodies, they also aren't as strong and don't travel as well, and are highly valuable for long term society survival. So mostly it was best for everyone to protect them in the village. That said, your marriage and family will be unique, and yo…

I have read about Moldova, nice to hear from you. I wish you guys all well. I can believe what you're saying here. In general, a lot of Western counties' problems stem from too much wealth. When there's a lot of money flowing around it's often not obvious why some people have money and others don't. (If you get into their finances it often becomes clear pretty quickly...)

Like if a man chooses to pursue music or other forms of art it is not acceptable, he has to be an accountant. Korea is big on art and music, you just have to be good at them. (You really only hear about K-Pop outside Korea, but Korea has a TON of amazing rack bands and classical music. They are really far more musical that Americans in my experience. Perhaps because they enjoy doing things together more.) I'd say Korea has more of a problem with a single strict hierarchy. That is, you can be a m…

Isn't it a big deal in South Korea that if a man for example is not professional with a good job he's considered an extreme loser? I'd say that's true to a greater extent than it is for the US, but it still depends on the person. I'm not sure what that has to do with male-friendship physical affection though, which is what we're talking about.

I'm pretty familiar with Korea and same-sex platonic affection between men used to be pretty common. It seems to be waning. I'm not really sure why. I would give to probable culprits: Industrialization and urbanization. It used to be that people lived in smaller villages and did physical work with the same people for long periods of time, particularly during their developing years. This resulted in much deeper connections to particular people. My father-in-law was born in the WWII era and he sti…

My dad out side of abandoning us seems like a great guy I don't know of course, but it's possible he had literally no choice in the matter. I read "Hillbilly Elegy", and it was interesting in a lot of ways. But one thing that really struck me is how he criticized his (step-)dads for "abandoning him" when his mom was literally beating the crap out of them, and his grandmother literally chased them off with guns (and had lit his grandfather on fire once, so it wasn't an idle threat) and they had n…

I don't have anything to say about this particular case that hasn't been said, but yeah, grad school is pretty close to modern day slavery. One person basically owns you and gets to decide if you get any reward for your years of work, or not, and and refuse to let you graduate. It's awful. I think it's really ironic that academics are always going around ranting about capitalism all being about power, when the real abusive power relationship was the academy all along.

'Courtney was not arrested because it is clear she was defending herself and was the victim of domestic violence,' Prieto said.

I would bet it's as serious to her as anything. Actors are weird. They are incredibly good at memorizing stuff, imitation is their job, and they love drama. My guess is that using dramatic phrases she's heard before is just how she talks, you know, rather than trying to exactly explain her story in her own words.

You are correct that assigning the "creation of beauty standards" to a particular gender is pretty silly.

Fashion is, of course, created by those who care about fashion. Influencers , designers, artists, etc. I don't know what the gender breakdown of the fashion industry is, but I'm lead to believe that "st…

It think it's just a really weak pun. There's an old break up line, "It's not you, it's me" which is supposed to mean "I'm not breaking up with you because of something you did, I'm breaking up with you because of my issues." So the pun here is just a replacement of "me" with "men." But interpreting the artist's intention beyond that is difficult. For example, generally the breakup line is considered to be a "white" lie. e.g. She IS breaking up with you because she doesn't like you, not because …

Men can take care of children just as well as mothers. Not true for anything less than a year old.

Of course, there is a very large range of both nurses and plumbers. A phlebotomist (the person who draws blood) doesn't make nearly as much as a registered nurse. And a journeyman plumber doesn't make nearly what a guy running his own business in a large city makes.

Then the grooms family somehow harasses the brides family for money. This harassment is reported to the police, and the groom flees to another country.

I'd contest that women don't actually find the nerdy-dude-who's-now-rich to be attractive. Whether girls find nerds or jocks attractive actually seems to be somewhat up to socialization. Chinese and Korean women do actually seem to be more likely to be attracted to nerdy/intelligent types. Jock types are often looked down on as hicks. The primary evidence of this is how many silicon valley nerds are married to Asian women. I think feminists largely attribute this to yellow fever, but my observat…

Poor people use lawyers that are paid after settlement. That is, the lawyer gets a percentage of the settlement rather than being paid for the amount of work they do.

She managed to screw all three at once. She bullied a developer. She made women look weak and whiny. She made SendGrid look bad and probably cost them business. Whoops.

I am not Korean, but I lived in South Korea for a few years and speak fluent Korean. My wife is Korean. The super fast pace of life in Korea does have some strange social effects. Going from one of the poorest countries in the world to one of the richest in 50 years has had deeper effects than I first realized. (Actually, it's almost more like 30 years, SK's GDP only passed NK's in 1979, and SK was pretty rich by 2000) Anyway, I wouldn't say that the gender roles haven't changed, they are changi…

I don't know, I'd be interested in seeing the Mormon research. Generally if I meet someone and guess that they are Mormon I'm usually right. (In other words, I have a low false positive rate. I couldn't give you the false negative rate, Mormons are too rare.) There are a couple of features that can tip you off that someone is probably Mormon. Utah/Idaho Mormons are almost their own ethic group. When Mormons were gathering to Utah in the latter end of the 1800s, most of the converts were coming f…

This looks pretty interesting. It's too bad I'm having so much trouble reading the translation. Well, it's not the first time I have regretted not learning Spanish.

He was charged with possession of an explosive device because he had "chemicals that, if mixed, could cause an explosion." Good heavens that's ridiculous. By that standard anyone could be charged with methamphetamine production because they have cold medicine and brake fluid in their house.

I don't recall if it was the first date or second, but I recall my wife offering to pay, at least at the dutch level. I said, "I asked, so I'll pay." But she asked me out for the third date and she paid for it. I don't recall who paid after that. We were poor students so we didn't go on many dates that cost money. I don't know if that interaction is much to go by though. She's not American, so she wasn't familiar with US dating rules.

This is a pretty stupid poll, it's based on a false dichotomy. I didn't pierce my daughters' ears when they were infants, but that doesn't have anything to do with thinking it's cruel, or "against her consent" or whatever. I just don't like pieced ears and do see any point piercing an infant's ears. However, some Mexican friends of mine pierced their daughter's ears. Apparently it's a Mexican culture thing. I have no problem with that either. (I have some white friends who lived in Mexico for a …

In the article it says that they know that [no one has been falsely convicted] because: "The results have only indicated false negatives, not false positives, according to Chief Medical Examiner spokeswoman Ellen Borakove." Of course they aren't saying that no one has ever been falsely convicted ever, just that, the errors they found in this case only resulted in false negatives. You may or may not believe that, but that's the answer the article gives. to your question.

He's not blaming video games in the traditional way here. The traditional way being the theory that playing "murder simulators" causes kids to want to murder in real life. There is no evidence for that AFAIK. What he is saying is that video games may cause some people to lose interest in real world accomplishment, where the rewards are farther off and take more work. I have always liked video games, but I agree with him on this. I have a couple of good friends stuck with this issue. They play vi…

Given a world where a woman can accuse a man of a crime and have him put away for 30 years with no evidence, I think the prosecutor's point make sense. Basically, she had already gotten away with the crime of lying. If you charge her for admitting she lied 9 years later, then you are then discouraging her from telling the truth. Imagine if she had gone to confess and was told that she would be put in jail for 9 years for confessing that she lied. Do you think she would still confess? I think she…

I can't speak for the feminists, but I imagine they would make some argument about women being stuck in the home and men being free from having to worry about home finances. Frankly, I don't feel bad for the guy, he gets $300 a month. I bet I make more than he does, and I have to fight for $15. My wife has the tightest fists I've ever seen. And no, she isn't spending the money on herself either; she spends even less on herself.

He addresses quite a few interesting issues. Do you expect him to address them all in one article? I don't know how many absent fathers would come back to be stay at home dads, but I would be willing to help and encourage any to try. The main issue he doesn't address directly is how well the single-mothers would take the idea. I think the beginning of the article suggests you would get as much resistance from that group as from the dads themselves. I suspect he didn't want to address that direct…

Yeah, it does happen. My aunt and her ex-husband are both pretty selfish. They had one kid, a son. When they divorced it got messy pretty fast. He knew his way around the court system and was able to hide his then small income. So he claimed he was the primary caregiver and got custody, child support, and half the money. He has alienated the kid against the mother, although, of course, she's paying for everything. It's pretty messed up. It's just as big an injustice when this crap happens to Mom…

The article starts out doing a good job of summing up MR issues, but at the end the author seems to get frightened about where this might be leading. He turns tail and runs back to safety the old standby, (my paraphrase) "But can't we all agree that women have the real problems?" Sorry. No. No we can't.

Eh, don't listen too much to these negative nancys. We deal in horror stories here, it colors the atmosphere. Children are wonderful, and the do require the stability a marriage can provide. There are certainly risks, but they can be mitigated. The overall divorce rate is 50%, but first marriage rates are lower, marriages of people 25 an older are lower, and it's lower for educated people. Is it still a risk? Yeah, but if that's what you want, as I did, I still think it's worth the risk. Be care…

I haven't gotten through the entire piece yet, so my opinions may be premature. In general, I'm kind of disappointed. She seems to be going though some pretty serious cognitive dissonance. The first page, at least, is full of non sequiturs and other forms of muddled thinking. For example, she talks extensively about how older feminists have been trying to force younger women to pursue a fiction. That, having achieved the feminist dream, research shows, "that women are less happy today than their…

Yes, you need to leave her now. Things are not going to get better, only worse. There are two fudemental problems here: Hitting is abusive. Even "play" hitting. At a fundmental level the hitter is purposely getting pleasure from the victim's pain. That's the definition of abuse, even if it's within societal norms. You are both assuming here that you have infinitie patience and self-contol. A very poor assumption. It will only take one time of any of the following for you to snap: you being crank…

The computers refereed to in this article were not programmers, they were literally computers. That is, they computed things. If you wanted to say, navigate a ship, or fire an artillery shell, you need to do quite a bit of math involving logarithms and trigonometry. Before we had cheap, plentiful electronic computers, finding log 23, or sin 63 was the result of a long, complex, difficult, error-prone calculation. So, rather than having the navigator or artilleryman calculate it themselves, they …
