It's patronizing and your input is not wanted. It's matronizing!

From the World Heath Organization fact sheet: "The practice is mostly carried out by traditional circumcisers, who often play other central roles in communities, such as attending childbirths. Increasingly, however, FGM is being performed by health care providers." More and more it is moving into hospitals (about 18% -- what is the rate for male circumcisions performed by medical professionals?) Type IV is classified as pricking, burning, etc. -- other types of mutilation that don't include seve…

Male circumcision is performed overwhelmingly on infants; female circumcision is performed overwhelmingly on older children. That is one of the main reasons people in general get more upset about it. That's all.

I think the mainstream would be way more up in arms about male circumcision if, 1) It were not so ingrained and accepted in our own familiar Western culture, and, 2) It were practiced like female circumcision, on older children who are physically able to resist and struggle against it, and able to feel and remember the pain and psychological trauma of being held down and mutilated by his own family members. It does seem like a largely unnecessary surgery, and you're certainly making a choice for…

The target demographic is children, according to the website.

Good call. I was going to say that naked bouncing breasts are a physical disadvantage for women, but they're probably just as much a mental disadvantage for men, so it evens out.

Yeah, it's really just bizarre. I'll admit I let out a chuckle when she brought out the cake, as I love Cake Wrecks more than any sane person should. Shitty song.

Mandatory paternity tests on all children. Paternity tests should be easily available to those who choose to have them performed (fathers and mothers). It would require an enormous expenditure of resources to make this mandatory on all children. Additionally, fewer should be broadcast on Maury. *Edit: For the record, though, I agree with you on most else you've listed here.

Well, you could very easily replace "men" with "people," as in, "People have the right to be indisposable." Which they do. But as with the women's rights movement, the men's rights movement, as I understand it, does have some male-particular issues to work through in order to achieve the goal of all people being equally indisposable.

No, you're definitely right. I wasn't trying to suggest at all that the cultural problem does not exist. We find the same thing with statutory rape; hence the term "jailbait" and all the jokes that come along with that. I still contend that any rape is not objectively funny. I think you'll also find more individuals who don't share that overarching cultural sense of humor than you expect. But -- I agree that it is a problem, for sure.

That's a good point. There certainly was a lot of apprehension on my campus when our story occurred. However, it pretty much abated when we found out the story was false.

I happen to be a member of that particular community, believe it or not, and yes, reporting crimes is serious, yes, our emergency resources are valuable. I and everyone I've talked to here about it admitted that they hadn't heard this story anywhere else, that we don't feel like we were made victims by it, and that the police seem to have remained free to pursue other criminals (plenty to report in the crime blotter). I think mainly I disagree with the conclusions being drawn about the far-reach…

That's a very good point, and fwiw I am a firm believer in rehabilitation and therapy for any criminal who exhibits psychological symptoms. Not at all what this article is about, though.

There was no accused. The description she gave was so vague it could have been anyone. The crime she committed here was tying up the legal system, not accusing a particular person of a crime he didn't commit.

Correct. While r/mensrights and r/feminism (and countless others) exist specifically for the purpose of bringing up and debating issues, r/menandwomen exists to recognize that we do live with each other in the world and can sometimes enjoy each other's company while suspending the vitriole.

I made the comment on the assumption that we didn't know, and if you'll notice, asked, "I wonder what the psychology behind this particular type of false accusation is?" Based on an almost identical case at my school in which the girl was found to be psychologically unsound, I suggested that perhaps the police went easier on her because there was a psychological aspect to the case that they did not wish to publicize. It was speculation. I do not know any thing about this person.

I wasn't comparing women to children, I was comparing the culpability of someone with a mental illness to that of a child. BIG difference.

The respect in which I intend it to be different from r/equality is that it is less about discussion and more about encouraging mutual respect. It's a lighthearted middle ground for all the people who spend a lot of time entrenched in one side or the other.

I'll admit I'm not sure. That's why I'm wondering about the psychology behind the report. We generally go easier on people who are mentally ill or in other ways unfit to take full responsibility for their actions. Children call 911 sometimes, which ties up valuable emergency resources; they are generally chastised but not punished by law enforcement. At my school, the girl's identity was not revealed, but it was revealed that she had left school for the semester to go into counseling. So clearly…

This happened at my college, too. It was a very bizarre couple of days between the initial report (with a similarly vague description of the assailant) and the revelation that it was fabricated, and it ultimately led to some permanent changes in campus security. I wonder what the psychology behind this particular type of false accusation is? A Munchausen thing, maybe? Also, this: "I don't want to make her out to be the villain," Ogden said. "If down the road, there's another sexual assault, I do…

r/menandwomen moderator here: it's not "from" r/feminism, I just posted invites to both r/feminism and r/mensrights to reach as wide an audience as possible, as I think people from both groups could stand to hear something positive from each other once in a while.

If you eventually need a break from all the nasty bickering in these groups, I invite you to r/menandwomen for stories of men and women agreeing on things and getting along.

Well, gee golly gosh, sometimes working full-time isn't enough to cover the fabulous costs of an American college education, since without a college education many couldn't hope to make nearly the amount they'd need to cover a year's tuition. I'm sure it wasn't easy for you, and I have great respect for anyone who is able to pull themselves up like that. I'm sure working through school had a profound influence on your character and your ethics. But here's something: not everyone is you. Everyone…

He wasn't kissing her. I'm interested to know exactly what her statement of consent was. If it was, "I want you to tie me up and anally penetrate me while I'm sleeping," then this case should have been dismissed long ago, and, wow, do I feel bad for that guy. If, however, it was a more general sort of, "I am your wife and I like having sex with you," then, yeah, there's a problem here.

And I have two friends, children of this situation, who almost got kicked out of college because their birth fathers refused to pay anything for their education. In both cases the mothers and their living partners were working their asses off to cover the difference. And anyway, this article isn't talking about women with exes and child support issues. It's an aggregation of census data on single mothers who in previous census years weren't asked to report on whether they were cohabitating. It a…

Yes, best to ignore the problem of male abuse entirely.

Oh-- the interview itself is hilarious (have you read the whole thing? Very funny). However, the song lyrics themselves, when heard in the context of the music, aren't given the framework of "joke." It's bizarre that the ICP would even try to say these lyrics are funny. Similarly, this music video is bizarre and unfunny. Maschalismos: "if its a man being raped and murdered . . . then its funny." Nope. Not really.

Okay, but, here's the point: the world is beginning to acknowledge male victims. There is certainly a wide discrepancy in the way society recognizes and deals with sexual abuse of different sexes. And, like equal rights in other sectors took a long time to come to different groups in America (and other places), it is going to be a process for men to be regarded as equals in the matters of domestic violence and abuse. This seems like a good first step in the public recognizing the problem. I also…

It depends who, if either of them, feels afterwards that they were not in control of the situation. If both, then you've got an interesting question on your hands. Not all drunk sex results in one party feeling taken advantage of (most probably turns out ok, if a little clunky at the time).

From an interview with ICP: "So all those unpleasant characters in the songs," I ask, "like the narrator in I Stuck Her With My Wang, they're examples of people you shouldn't be?" "Huh?" Violent J says. "Well, it's very unpleasant," I say. "'I stuck her with my wang. She hit me in the balls. I grabbed her by her neck. And I bounced her off the walls. She said it was an accident and then apologised. But I still took my elbow and blackened both her eyes.' That's clearly a song about domestic viole…

Look, I disagree not at all with "only after actual proof do I view an accused as a 'rapist.'" I am totally into the whole innocent until proven guilty thing. The issue I wanted to raise in my first response is that there is an enormous difference between finding out that a perspective girlfriend had accused a man of rape, and finding out that she had falsely accused a man of rape. That innocent until proven guilty thing goes for accusers, too. And if I had any interest in that woman at first, h…

Oh shit science is reverse sexist! Oh but wait men get big muscles and don't menstruate so maybe science is just regular sexist? Hey or maybe there are ups and downs to having been born into any sex and science and nature aren't making any judgements about it because they are concepts and not people?

Very few people consider criticism of Christine O'Donnell to be sexist. That woman makes women look bad, and she makes human beings look bad. By all means, criticize the heck out of her.

Perhaps this was organized because it could be uncomfortable for a woman to enter an average tournament such as this? Just because it wouldn't necessarily feel awkward for you to sit alone in a room full of women doesn't mean it works the other way.
