In a way they're right. As soon as someone picks up a rifle or throws a rock they're no longer civilians; they're combatants and are thus not victims of war but perpetrators of it. It's a handy way of erasing male victimhood.

There is no such thing as healthy masculinity, unless you're gay R/gaybros got a lot of shit from HuffPo etc. when the sub started getting popular. Any kind of masculine identity for gay men was seen as far too problematic to be allowed. The mods got defensive and it got invaded and sanitised and morphed into the same sort of "inclusive" space as any other gay forum, with threads about pride parades, anal bleaching and RuPaul's drag race replacing ones about hunting, cars and handsome manly dude…

Given that men are more likely to have one or both feet in the autistic spectrum, there might be some truth in their observations. I hope the next reply in the thread was a neurodiversity advocate chastising the women with a long, rambling post full of anti-ablism talking points and social justice shaming language.

so is empathy and being able to solve problems without resorting to raised voices or anything physical. That's pretty much the definition of "gentleman" and that has been the masculine archetype since at least Victorian times. This idea that society teaches boys to solve their problems with violence etc. I.e. "toxic masculinity" - is the unsophisticated or willful misinterpretation of what men have been teaching each other for centuries, by a group of people who either aren't male or aren't masc…

Isn't it an ageism thing, as prostate cancer tends to happen towards the end of normal life expectancy? And for colon cancer, it's sometimes partly due to lifestyle, such as diet choices. Women's cancers on the other hand tend to strike younger and less selectively, so people perceive it as more tragic when it happens.

I think sometimes if a man teases another man for being unmanly he's doing it out of a sense of concern: that if his friend / brother / son keeps acting like that he'll never attract a mate. If he doesn't toughen up he'll not be able to cope in the real world and make a success of himself. Other times of course, it's just sadistic bullying, and there's a very fine line between the two. This kind of social conditioning evolved for a reason and it's entirely shaped by wider society's expectations …

Cheap car phone chargers are usually just a voltage regulator which has a variable resistance to output 5V from the car's ~12V supply, resisting the excess voltage and heating up. Given that new batteries have a voltage slightly higher than their rating, burning off ~16V from two 9V batteries would probably just release some magic smoke and not do much for the phone.

Part-time staff aren't generally as valuable to an employer. I know because I am one (working ~half the hours of my full-time colleagues). I have a desk which doubles up as a hot-desk when I'm away, but most of the time nobody else uses it so the cost of that desk and computer goes to waste.

I guess it sounds like you're choosing arbitrary experiences (sexual in this case) and deciding that if you don't share those exact experiences that you can't relate. Oh my god I'm saying the complete opposite of that.

Don't they share the experience of being gay in a majority hetero world? What exactly is "the experience of being gay" though? The experience of being a homosexual male is very different to that of being a lesbian. What experiences exactly are we supposed to have in common and be able to relate to each other through? Be specific. Lesbians holding hands get wolf-whistles. Gay men holding hands get spat on. Different. Not having kids is seen as a squandering of earnings for men and a wasting of fe…

I seem to recall r/mensrights having a higher than average proportion of gay men in its readership. It makes sense when you consider that lesbians are considered the natural core of the feminist movement. Why wouldn't the same forces that cause lesbians to be sympathetic of the plight of women also cause gay men to be sympathetic to the plight of men? Aside from the lifelong indoctrination into feminist bullshit that gay men are subjected to, of course.

Gay men share with straight men an understanding of the male experience, so they have that in common. They share with straight women a love of men, so they have that in common. Likewise lesbians share an understanding of the female experience with straight women, and a love of women with straight men. Gay men and lesbians share neither of those things with each other. Gay men and lesbians couldn't possibly be more different. The idea of "homosexuality" - being attracted to "the same" - is a whol…

There've been a few - Thatcher probably the most notable. Although she is roundly despised by the left and considered an "honorary male" by feminists. The unfortunate thing for progressives is that voters on all sides of the political spectrum tend to see strength and assertiveness as desirable qualities of a leader and this conflicts with the left's self-image of being caring and compromising. If men tend to have these traits more than women, whether due to testosterone or other gendered physio…

The UK does have official sentencing guidelines advising judges to give women more lenient sentences than men for equivalent crimes though. So it's a bit of both. But I agree it would be nice if OP had found some equivalent offences for comparison, as just posting one proves nothing.

Catherine Comins will make a cameo appearance as Assistant Dean of Student Life reminding the protagonists that men who are unjustly accused can sometimes gain from the experience. They have a lot of pain, but it is not a pain that I would necessarily have spared them. I think it ideally initiates a process of self-exploration. 'How do I see women?' 'If I didn't violate her, could I have?' 'Do I have the potential to do to her what they say I did?' Those are good questions.' Catherine Comins

I've said "stop it" during sex before, for example when being tickled. The word "it" doesn't always refer to a penis going into a vagina. Apparently the "it" in this case was the video recording. I've also said stop before because I wanted a rest, only to continue later consensually. There were two hours of extra video context to go with the utterance of "stop" as well as a load of other evidence that the public do not have access to.

As recently demonstrated in Lithuania, men do not have the right to gender equality in conscription, even in the EU. Actually, nobody has this right; any European government could conscript only women, or only Jews, or only black people if it wanted; but they never have.

While there are many parallels with the historical oppression of black people, there are also some perks that come with being a man, even today, but there were never any perks for being black (at least not until affirmative action & white guilt went mainstream, and as perks go, those are pretty lame). Beware of using this line of reasoning with pretty much anyone who isn't a die-hard red piller; at best you'll earn an eye-roll, at worst a lynching.

Ever Been Abused Sexually or Physically by Previous Partner, by Sexual Identity: Bisexual 42% Lesbian 39% Gay 27% So again we see that physical abuse is higher amongst lesbians than gay men, suggesting that either women are more violent than men or that men are less likely to perceive a given act committed against them as physical abuse. Either way implying that statistics on heterosexual domestic abuse probably overstate male abusiveness or understate female.

This could hardly have been orchestrated better if Davies had planned it from the start. Phillips' gaff and the subsequent backlash couldn't have been a more effective way to start a debate about men's issues in the UK. Even with the "rape threats" damage control exercise being conducted by all major newspapers except the Telegraph, the message that men's issues need discussing is still getting through. Thanks Jess, I guess. You're a useful idiot.

Intersectional feminism is an exercise in denying that men can be oppressed just for being men: a man who makes up one of the 97% of workplace deaths in the UK wasn't oppressed because he was a man; he was oppressed because he was working-class (even though his female working-class cohorts made up only 3% of workplace deaths) . A man who committed sucide wasn't oppressed because of his gender, he was oppressed because he had a mental illness (even though women with suicidal thoughts are more lik…

We had something similar but much more subtle in the UK when I was studying English language A-level 15 years ago. There was a module entitled "language and gender". I didn't realise it at the time but this was feminism 101, and it was mandatory.

The president of Lithuania at the time conscription was reinstated was a woman and the male-only draft was even voted for by a feminist female politician there. It's worth noting that the European Court of Human Rights allows countries to discriminate for conscription on any basis.

Of course, the only kind of discrimination ever actually employed i…

I think "Component of wage gap caused by unfair discrimination" is what needs to be distilled, as distinct from "Average difference in earnings". The former is pretty much zero, the latter is ~23%. A nice alternative to the term "wage gap" is "effort gap" - of which we can teasingly ask "Why aren't women pulling their weight in the workforce?"

If they really wanted men to take issues of consent more seriously, they would hold men's issues classes where men are taught (among other things) how their lives can be ruined by the mere accusation of a vindictive woman. Men would be more likely to attend, less likely to object and the college hookup scene would dry up as men realise how much of a risk sex on campus is and seek companionship elsewhere.

There's probably truth in this. We need to ask ourselves how men's comparative weakness in languages leaves many without a voice. In forums where mis-spellings are met with derision and a good, logical argument can be judged and thrown out on its linguistic style alone, the direction of the movement could end up being set by an articulate, mild-mannered minority. The MRM might then become a parallel of the whiny first-world feminism we are all familiar with. I think coming to terms with or even …

The authors would definitely factor that in. But depending on their agenda, they might not factor in that men tend to work longer hours, do more overtime, work in more stressful fields and ones which involve greater risks like e.g. brain surgery versus dermatology.

Men are more likely to be risk-takers in all aspects of life, and that includes choosing a field of medicine to specialise in. Ones with higher risks tend to be more male-dominated. This probably isn't really pussypass but neither is it "male doctors are bad" as the journal seems to be suggesting.

The draft is a hypothetical issue It's a rights issue. In Europe, all citizens are supposed to enjoy protection from slavery and forced labour. However, there is an exception for military service: nobody has the right to protection from conscription, and thus countries can be as discriminatory as they like when imposing it.
