Hell yes! High five! I've been a fan of Paglia's for years. If anyone in this thread hasn't read her interviews in playboy magazine, I highly recommend them: http://maxxwolf.tripod.com/paglia_interview.html

Just dropping by to tell you how awesome you are. I love meeting women who see through the feminist agenda. It requires true strength of character and real empathy to support the rights of a group you're not even part of. Good on you!

How long have you known her for? My girlfriend and I are talking about kids. We've been together for 13 years now, and we know eachother extremely well. I think you need a lot of trust to get involved with women in this day and age. You have to be absolutely certain that she will not fuck you over, because she absolutely can.

It's an ideology that has been espoused by some of the most powerful people in the world, it's known by everyone in the west and is taught from elementary school and up, and has influenced history enormously over the past 100 years. It has spawned multi-billion dollar organisations and institutions, and all the major universities of the world have gender studies associated with them. More people search for "feminism" than search for "liberalism": https://www.google.dk/trends/explore#q=feminism%2…

She writes like that because she is obsessed with sex, power, smoke and mirrors. Just look at her formal works. This article is her sharing one of her long-time fetishes of occult paganism and sexual dominance. Her criticism of rape culture is of course legitimate, but it's mostly incidental.

She used the word "Evil" 4 times, "savage" twice, she speaks of human nature as "eternally torn by a war between the forces of darkness and light". How about this: "young women do not see the animal eyes glowing at them in the dark". I assume you've read Camille Paglia before, she likes to write like this from time to time. She sounds like a midieval witch concocting an article from old Edgar Allen Poe novels. I don't say that to dismiss her, because I do enjoy reading her a lot - she's the most…

This is just normal (Yet) immature teenage male banter. I grew up in an area where talking with the guys like this was normal. Everyone knew it was bullshit, and all the guys were just putting on a display. Seriously, are the women involved here really that fucking stupid? Are they that ignorant about how inconsequential this kind of talk is? And do they HONESTLY think, that the boys involved in this kind of bantering are being serious? What the fuck is happening to society? Can noone understand…

I have to say that what really surprises me here, is that people interpreted it as a sexual act. It's a very classic coping mechanism among children who are highly uncomfortable, especially those with mental disorders that are associated with autism and anxieties. It's a repetitive movement that makes the child calm down when under stress, and it looks nothing like sexual behavior.

I don't really like that article. It's all well and fair that the psychologist describe how the children and women are affected, and what kind of consequences that can have psychologically. But he barely mentions that fathers are definite victims of this too. He doesn't address the deep-seated betrayal that a father feels at this thought in any way. It's a very gynocentric analysis, and I don't think it's quite fair. He also says that the number of parental fraud cases range withing 2-3%, but th…

Very well written, and very interesting write-up. Do we still have any outlets that follow the old model? Finding media outlets that really are critical of the state, and really do deliver unbiased challenging reports, isn't easy these days. Not even the so-called independent media sources can be trusted to remain objective.

Maybe he should prephase that entire article with the words: "In the US". here in Europe, pretty much all doctors advise against MGM - saying there is absolutely no need to do it. Furthermore, the vast majority of people here are not circumcised for a reason. Maybe he wants to address that?

From the article: Vi har skapt problemet vi prøvde å løse; diskriminering basert på kjønn og underkvalifiserte representanter i styrene, og muligens tapt pengene vi trodde vi skulle tjene på løsningen. Årsaken er at vi ikke gadd å sjekke om problemet egentlig eksisterte. Translation: We have created the problem we were trying to solve; discrimination based on gender, underqualified representation in leadership, and maybe we even lost the money we thought we were going to earn with this solution.…

What you should be asking is, how did every single newspaper in the western world become so feminist? Women are addicted to praise to a ridiculous extent, and as soon as you so much as slander them a little, it creates an uproar. Truth is a masculine value. Newspapers don't need to report it to gain readers, they just need to reinforce women's self-esteem and ego while bashing men.

Well, let's analyze it: A needs B, like C needs D. Since C does not need D, this catchphrase is suggesting that men are superfluous to women's needs. You can twist it all you want. Funny you should mention it though, here is another famous catchphrase: Women can do anything men can do, but in heels. This seems to suggest, that women are in fact better than men. This year there have been extensive talk about an ongoing masculinity crisis. Do you think that is some sort of a fluke?

Oh, there are consequences alright. But the consequences are mild compared to what men suffer. Women get lower sentences for every single crime. Whatever empathy women have, stretches mostly to other women and rarely to men. They are more than capable of being cold and calculating, and they get away with it far more often. Their poor behavior is just excused. We need to get them off the pedestal right away. They can be highly manipulative, and they are highly capable of having ulterior motives. …

You're beginning to see why it is we call a lot of this information "the red pill". Just keep following the white rabbit here.

Not really. Most of these buzzwords are relatively new inventions, and their use and meaning even vary from website to website.

In support of this claim, they cite the Middlesex Divorce Research Group (MDRG) Relitigation Study.9 Note that this study was particularly difficult to locate, since the SJC-GBC's report contained no information on where the study was published.

He's also been arguing this line for many years. I remember listening to his show a good 6 years ago. I don't recall him saying anything misogynist about women, but he speaks unapologetically about women and usually with a harsh-sounding tone. So he's going to get the accusation no matter what.

Oh absolutely. It's also interesting that they absolutely HAVE to create the illussion that these PM's is a negative experience for them. This is because social status among women works in the following way: You can't be seen as better than other women.

Atheism+ is so hard to pinpoint, because the premise is just so... Odd. One of the foundations of the modern atheist movement is skepticism, and the belief that this skepticism ought to be applied to all religion.

Rather than being skeptical, they instead build their identity around being an atheist, because they like whatever that label entails. So while the non-plus skeptical atheists tend to s…

I've been advocating mens rights for years and years, and I can't count the amount of times people have attempted to bully me into silence. People have attempted to publically humiliate me, I've recieved death threats, I've had people conveniently bring up my home address in private messages - but I don't complain. I know that this is part of th…

"Yeah but no but mom but mothers instinct but sacrifices but women but carried the baby for 9 months but" EDIT: I find it pretty funny that I was able to write this reply before even seeing the article. That said, I think the article is in good spirit and is obviously just her having a bit of fun, because she's frustrated that her husband is so indecisive. I see nothing wrong with it, because it doesn't really appear that serious.

What a joyful reminder that poster is. Especially since women are more likely to: File divorce. Get full custody of the child. File for child support. So she kicks your ass out, takes the kid, and makes you pay up. After all of that, you still get to have the wonderful experience of being lectured in a waiting hall, about how you were most likely a shitty father to begin with. Oh, and it's the law - wouldn't you know? Nice.

Your patience with these people, and your compassion for the wrongly accused is legendary and admireable. It's so extremely important, especially in case of rape, because people will say the most outrageous things - and judge people way before their case even reaches court.

Yeah.... I remember people like Elder George still being around in the nineties. I think his particular brand of mens rights activism is called the Mythopoetic men's movement these days. Here's wikipedia on the mythopoetic men's movement: The mythopoetic men's movement is based on spiritual perspectives derived from psychoanalysis, and especially the work of Carl Jung. It is less political than either the profeminist or men's rights movement and has a self-help focus.[21] It is called "mythopoet…

I have a theory that this is because a lot of women my generation, has been told that they shouldn't cook. It's the pendulum effect. Traditionally, women used to cook all the time - but after women's liberation it's like that trend has been all but reversed instead of evening out. It's also relevant because this is one of the most common complains I hear from feminists: Men don't do housework (Of which, cooking is a big part).

Not quite. The heteronormative society just refers to the fact, that whithin our society and culture everything is viewed through the lense of heterosexual relationships.

If women work just as hard as men, and they are paid less on average, why don't corporations hire women exclusively? Look at it from the point of view of a business-owner.

I have no idea what "lattepappor" is. Also, Sweden isn't scandinavia. There are big differences between Sweden, and Norway & Denmark in terms of mens and fathers rights. I don't appreciate that you say I'm a liar, when it's very clear that you have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

There is a HUGE difference between Scandinavian fathers rights now, and how the circumstances were during the eighties and nineties when I went to school. That, my viking friend, is most certainly fact.

I am reminded of a woman who went by the name "Ilse Koch, the Bitch of Buchenwald ". She was married to an SS officer during world war 2. When she didn't make lamps and leather out of the skin of prisoners in concentration camps, she would adopt them as pets until she got tired of them, or dress provocatively in front of them. If any of them looked at her in her (Intentionally) skimpy clothes, she would send them off to the gas chambers. When people are particularly sadistic, sex tend to be invo…

I was born and raised in a scandinavian country. Do these people think that I haven't seen articles like this before? Fuck. I've read nothing BUT bad press related to fathers for years and years - because nothing else was allowed in newspapers or in schools. It was practically part of the school diet: how incompetent men and fathers were; how violent, aloof, cold and insane. Does the author not realize that she is pissing into a sea of piss?

The biggest problem with associating to any kind of ideology, is the confirmation bias it brings to the table. Seeing patterns like these are moot when you realize the reasons for the hardcore fans irritation. I read the Lord of the Rings book, and The Hobbit when I was eight... Way before the movie premiered. I'm also a fan of "The Song of Ice and Fire" series, and have read all the books and seen every episode.

Speaking as a Dane, this is a fairly big discussion yes. But it's also quite complicated.

The Norweagian scientist in question found a correlation between women's liberation, and suicide rates.

The problem is the old coots like me do have that red pill knowledge. We understand how egalitarianism is simply yet another female supremacy movement.

The Spearhead is not, as far as I know, associated with this subreddit. It's easy to tell by their use of the word "mangina", which is a word that is frowned upon around here. Also, people are allowed to say what they want. I can't stop them, and even if I could I would rather encourage good behavior than ban bad behavior.

Comedians often have to say it out loud. It's fair game in comedy to rip on men, and to make fun of them. To make fun of women is another story. Even shock comedians like Bill Burr have to make constant apologies, and a comedian from my country started his routine with the words: "Ok, now I'm going to make fun of the gals.

Noone should be taught how "Not to rape", but everyone should be taught to respect eachothers boundaries. Especially when it comes to sex. There are two kinds of rapists.

Very well said. This is why new male studies is such an important research journal. Most forms of gender studies are feminist "male" studies that look at masculinity through the distorted lens of feminist ideology. But www.newmalestudies.com publishes articles and interviews that are not watered down or feminist approved, and are therefore not afraid to say what needs to be said.

Bill Burr is brilliant, and he's right too.

You have to be an idiot not to recognize that. I'm currently watching a new series on the history channel called "Vikings".

One has inherent worth by mere virtue of being a woman, the man has to prove himself "worthy of her love". It is not that the damsel can't do anything, it's that she doesn't have to. Because her womanhood makes it possible for her to just sit around and do nothing, knowing that some "hero" is going to solve all her problems. Real power is a power you don't have to yield.

It's interesting that she mentions how these games are made to "play into the adolescent males power narrative", when in fact the damsel in distress trope does nothing more than portray a man willing to sacrifice everything in his life in order to save a woman.

Yup. People need to educate themselves on how psychopaths minds tick, and how these people tend to operate. For them, it's not about ideology. They can't really be labeled feminists, because they don't care about trivial matters like beliefs, sympathy or compassion which they consider weak. It's extremely important that we're able to recognize these individuals and steer clear of them. Some of them are more intelligent than he was, and a lot more sadistic.

I should add, because I forgot this one: I also get restlessness sometimes. My legs want to do the tango, even if the rest of my body is exhausted.

I would say neither. It's like thoughts become less obtrusive. My normal state of being is one of constant monologues, and thoughts telling me how much I fucking suck.

To be honest, I have the same oppinion. But psychologists are expensive and pills are cheap. I simply don't have the money to pay a therapist.

Men don't have the same kind of conscious gender identity as women do, and they don't have the same kind of in-group bias that women have.

He was trying to be unbiased for fucks sake. It was in the seventies. It was more than 35 years ago, about a book he didn't even end up publishing.

Finding help when you're in an abusive relationship is extremely hard as a man, because of the feminist myth that men are universally the abusive and dominant parties in relationships.

I have seen the argument from help organizations that educating women is often the better choice, because they will be teaching their children what they learn. In other words, a dollar to a girl will trickle throughout society, but a dollar to a man is less likely to help in the same way.

If women could biologically rape men (they can't because you can't "force" a guy to get an erection), then it'd probably be just as wrong. The erection example simply isn't true.

That is fair to say. But it is also true that there are more homeless males than females. This is why we're trying to bring attention to men's issues; while we recognize that the people in top of the pyramid are primarily men, we also recognize that those in the bottom are men as well. We want attention given to those men.

The problem is that women can throw temper tantrums and wild emotional insults, without losing face. In their sexism, people will still support them because they don't expect any different of women. We cannot, however. As men, we're forced to remain stoic because that is what our gender role prescribes, and we would be discredited if we lost our cool.

demmian, the main moderator in r/feminism, has been criticized a lot by the real "batshit radical feminists" for even allowing MRA's on there. A lot of said radicals think that demmian is the reincarnation of the devil, simply because he has enough sense of fairness to allow MRA's to post. This is why said batshit radicals congregate in /r/wherearethefeminists in order to downvotebrigade every single post MRA's throw into the pot. Yes. Go to that subreddit, and check for yourself.

I'd have to say that we've lost an incredible amount of rights relating to reproduction and sex. Men are assumed predator, and are the only group to my knowledge that is considered guilty until proven innocent in the court of law. A hundred or so years ago, men had primary custody of their children and prime financial and legal responsibility. We still have prime financial responsibility, but practically no custody anymore. The amount of fathers who can't see their own sons and daughters are sta…

Welcome home, brother! Whats even worse, is that there is a legitimate healthcare crisis for men in the western world. Not only do we die several years sooner, in most western countries men go on pensions later than women. In other words, in a lot of european countries, women literally have more than 20 years in retirement while men have 5. It gets a lot worse.

I think you're right. It's easy enough to tumble around, and state what is true and what the statistics say. But conveying them in a way which makes an impact is the real challenge. I've always, before I started arguing for men's rights, focused on strictly logical arguments rooted in skepticism and rationality. But now I have to do different.

Yes, that's it to a tee. There is a study by Rudman & Goodwin published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. It shows that women generally speaking, have a much greater tendency to have in-group preference than men do.

Men will still get the occasional question, primarily from parents: "When will I have grandchildren?". But I'm one hundred percent sure that there are more pressure on women to have children. The difference exists, because in the eyes of society having children is the primary biological function of women. The primary biological function of men, is to compete for the attention of women in order that men's own genes can survive to the next generation. "Having" children is not as important, as just…

Gender roles are a problem only insofar as they are restrictive. An individual should be able to do what he/she wants without risk of social stigmatisation.

Actually, this is something feminists are usually up in arms over.

I think the "check your privilege" comment is rather nonsensical. It implies that you, as a man, is in a better position than the people you're talking about, and that you're not aware that you really are in a better situation. The reason it's nonsensical is, that we often are fully aware, and when we're not it doesn't even apply. When women argue for male circumcision (Genital mutilation), it's completely applicable to tell them that they ought to check their privilege. After all, their gender …

Yup. It's meant to say, that people are responsible for what they do in their own relationships. There is a degree to which you should compromise I think.

But if one party in a relationship, like you rightly point out, wants the other part to stay home and listen to them rant, rather than having a guys night out - then they really need a life.

I don't even think my list is extreme. I'm not saying "Punch again if she punches you", I'm saying leave. I'm not saying "Keep the remote", I'm saying "Share the remote equally". You're probably right, that sometimes men should call back. And you're probably right, that sometimes men should follow her out the door. But the point is that no one is entitled to expect any of those behaviors from someone in a relationship.

You may as well call me out, for using the term "bros". It's not the words that are relevant. It's a saying. What I take it to mean, is that you should put more trust in friendships than relationships whatever the gender. If you have a better way of saying that, then I will gladly put that in instead. I'm all for constructive criticism. I can see the wording may strike some nerves, but I think the overall message is worth taking home.

How is this a dumb list? It's saying: "Be yourself. You can do what you want". That's not dumb. That's common sense. The OP had a long list about how men need to subjegate themself to women. This list just empowers men to say, that men can be allowed to be men. To take some of that power back. It doesn't say that they have to do that. And I think that's the point I'm trying to make.

Of course not. The reasoning behind this list is, that men are independent human beings. If I want a guys night out, and she wants me to stay home, then I'm entitled to say "Fuck no", and go anyway. And if I want to do that every night, and she doesn't like it, then she can just break up. It all depends what you want with your relationship.

Here's when boys actually become men: When they stand their ground when she walks out. When they don't call back, and let her do the calling. When they break all contact, if she punches. When they put women in their place if they nag too much. When they say: "I hate chickflicks. Go watch it with your girlfriends". When they realize that a woman crying, is not the end of the world. When they share the remote control equally. When they remember the ancient sage advice: "Bros before hos". When they…

Personally I would prefer it if people ignored my crying a lot of the time- drawing attention to it usually only makes things worse. I don't like crying. My girlfriend, who is also very easy to tears, says the same thing. So I do try to ignore it most of the time. And I think it's nice to hear the other side of the issue, because that is just as relevant, and it explains a lot about the entire dynamic between men and women.

Yep, it's complicated. So I always assume that there is a legitimate reason to her tears, unless it's proven otherwise. But crying does not equal sadness. Sometimes women cry because they are angry, because they are distressed, because they feel uneasy, or because they just feel like they want attention (Wether they are deserving of attention or not). I think men are a lot easier to deal with in this respect, but I can't really say for sure because I have never dated men. But it seems to me, tha…

You're right. There has been studies to show that high levels of testosterone, and low levels of estrogen gives people greater control over their emotions, and make them more stoic and calm. A lot of women can't control wether they cry or not, and are not beginning to cry because they want to draw the sympathy card. So just because a woman cries doesn't mean that she's trying to manipulate. Keeping that in mind, exactly because some women often cry at slight moments of distress, they shouldn't b…

It was a segment on TV, where two women - the host and the cohost - was talking about the emergence of a new type of man, they called something like "The child man".

Boys learn quickly that attention from authority always works against them. Girls learn the opposite. That is likely why there is a disparity regarding false accusations by boys and girls in primary and secondary school.

Meh... It probably won't happen anyway. But it's something to consider.

Interestingly, there are other cultures out there with the same kind of male rape fixation. Actually, the culture in the Tobriand Islands, seem to be remarkable in that women display, the same amount of sexual desire as men. Needless to say, these findings have been extremely controversial in the west, as there are literal rape-gangs of women, who attack men out walking on their own among the natives. There seems to be a connection between this type of sexual behavior and birth control. The nati…

Here is what I think: All men are different. Some are like you. Some are softer. Some are perhaps feminine. Other still, prefer not to have any gender identity at all. What I want, is a society where all of these people, can be allowed to express themselves independent of societal expectation and prejudice. You are allowed to be masculine and not show emotion - that is OK. But you should also be allowed the exact opposite. The goal is to redefine what it means to be a man, and that can include a…

We are trying to eliminate some of the stigma associated with guys. One of the reasons Men's Rights exists, is because we are expected to act a certain way by society. If we don't act tough, and if we begin to show our feelings, then we risk being marginalized and not taken seriously. We'll be seen as weak and inferior to the rest of humanity.

Let me give you an insight into how these studies are done. How do you think they found these statistics at 30 to 70 percent? Do you think they asked: "Would you be willing to commit rape, if you knew you wouldn't get caught?" Of course not. No way people would say yes to that.

I sounds like that, yes. I grew up beleiving these things, and I'm male.

(not sure of the credibility of this though) Let's say it's only 30 percent. If you have two brothers, a son, and a father in your life - then that statistic says that one of them is a rapist.

That is my contention as well. Women have an easier time abolishing their gender identities, because feminism has challenged the perception of what it means to be a woman, to the point where they are capable of leaving the traditional roles.

That definition is still rooted in tradition, whereas what it means to be a woman is more rooted…

That's an interesting perspective. So when people tell you that you "throw like a girl", the insult is not that your'e a girl - but rather that you're "not a man"? I'm inclined to think that there's a bit of both here. Because gender is traditionally depicted as a dichotomy - either you're one or the other. So if you're not "a real man", then you must be a woman and vice versa.

Femen, pussy riot, the slut walks; naked women everywhere. Feminists can't decide if we're oppressing their sexuality or exploiting it... Meanwhile, I don't give a shit. Women can go naked to work for all I care. They can literally do whatever they want. In my experience, it's women themselves who do the slut shaming.

Unfortunately, this is a pretty common notion among feminists. The extreme groups will block you from entering buildings like this, but even the more moderate feminists will ban you on online forums, simply because they don't want their ideas challenged.

Unfortunately, it appears that this sort of beleif is common. T…

Actually, the studies that link aggression and testosterone are outdated. The best thing you can do to counter this argument, is to educate yourself on how testosterone really works, and what studies actually say about it. There are plenty of researchers who beleive, that women are just as aggressive than men, but that they show this aggression in less overt ways. Women are more likely to be indirect (Passive aggressive, social rejection, emotional abuse, etc.) - which is just as serious as the …

I agree. Not all MRA's are the same either. Yet, you find plenty of misrepresentation and generalization on both sides. In fact, a lot of feminists on Reddit, continue to portray the MRM like it's a regressive and reactionary movement, in spite of clear evidence to the contrary.

One is an intellectual examination of a topic, to which he is open to being wrong. The other is a closed minded statement of ideological belief. Exactly. Warren Farrell has a Ph.D in political science, and a B.A in social sciences. Part of the scientific approach and research, is that you examine and gather data stoically.

It's a simple PR thing. One of the issues surrounding /r/MR, is that we're assumed to be a group of cisgendered white males, who want to go back to the fifties. We need to show that this movement is not reactionary, but revolutionary - and the best way to do that, is to tell people that we're inclusive. Besides, it is true. I have talked to plenty of women, black people, asians, small minorities, and people from tonnes of nationalities, that have some interest and are fighting some men's rights …

While I agree in principle, is there any reason why this should be called 'rape'? They call it that only because of the shock value, while in reality it's more aptly deemed malpractice. This sort of shit is not gender-specific, and could happen to anyone who has a bad doctor. I'm tired of this constant overdramatization. It's wrong, yes. And it's especially not fun while giving birth. But it's not rape, anymore than being an asshole to someone who is stressed out is rape.

BBC Panorama did a documentary about abuse at care homes like these, where completely innocent and defenseless adults with learning disabilities were downtrodden, ridiculed publicly, and physically and mentally abused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioWkb5eig1c The documentary is very hard to watch, but I think everyone ought to. It shows how prone socalled 'civlized' people are …

This just made me speechless. There are just so many things about that I find surprising, ridiculous, and downright stupid. There is no other words for it. First of all, what the hell is the deal with this sort of thing? How can people be so irrationally scared of eachother, that they expect to be assaulted in dark parking lots, like they are all main characters in low-budget thrillers? Being attacked in public by a stranger hiding in the dark, almost never fucking happens and even SUGGESTING an…

The story is tragic. Their explanations are quite different. We have no idea whether she came up to his house and knocked on his door asking to be let in, or if the guy is right, and the only person he encountered was a man asking him to go outside. All we can say is, that yes: If the genders were reversed, this story would have a different twist to it.

There is reason to be cautious and even anxious around women, but only very very rarely is it normal to be "Scared to death" of them. Similarly, don't be afraid that you will be accused of rape. Be cautious, yes, but not afraid. The vast majority of women are quite reasonable. Women are not a uniform g…

Actually it says something equivalent to "your sweetheart" - it's gender-neutral, but since it's directed at boys, I'm assuming they mean girlfriends Actually, it's not directed at boys, because it's a blanket message that is displayed wherever you go on the website - so it's meant as a gender-neutral term like "Partner", "Sweetheart" or "Significant other". Don't give them too much credit. Still, I wanted to direct your attention towards the video....

The reason they don't do it, is because of the implication. When someone stands up and says "I care about men", 85% of the population is going to read into that as "I don't care about women". Journalists love reporting on this sort of thing, and voters treat it like a dichotomy. The real question is, what will happen when they actually start doing it? It's quite possible that someone will say "I think Mens health is an overlooked issue in our society", or something to that effect. Would we vote …

Unfortunately, it's even worse than that. My girlfriend and I had a discussion about mens rights, and I had argued how there is no focus on male victims whatsover. She went to the website to verify my claim, and saw that the button reads "Are you a boy? Read here". She called me over quickly, thinking that here was finally a campaign that reached out to male victims of abuse as well. I've been involved with the MRM for years, so I knew what was coming.

Well done! Great work. I find that the topic has opened up an enormous amount since I started rambling 15 years ago. Many of the issues are becoming plain to see, and even women who are otherwise unexposed to the issues, have brothers, husbands and fathers who suffer because of them. Back then, I had to always argue how these things affected women badly, because if I started arguing from the male perspective, I was immediately dismissed. Either that, or I had to leeway myself into the discussion…

There is an example of a culture on th Robriand Islands, where one of their foods works as a contraceptive. This means that the people there, don't beleive that sex leads to pregnancy. The women are just as sexually agressive as men in that culture: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/savagesex Highly interesting if you ask me. And also highly relevant. Contraceptives have lead to sexual liberation in our society as well, which should cause women to become more sexually agressive in time.

Male sexuality is often considered disgusting, perverted, dirty and creepy. I don't understand why to be honest. I'd love to learn more about it. I remember reading an article by a homosexual, who took many years to discover his sexuality. He said that just being with a man was completely new and foreign to him, because all of a sudden he felt like his body was beautiful and appreciated. He had never tried that before, in spite of having been with many women.

That's an interesting question. The movember movement is more about the act of growing a moustache, than it is about the thick luscious result. I don't think it alienates anyone, because everyone can participate. It doesn't matter if you have a giant bush on your lip, a couple of hairs, or if you've done it with a sharpie in the bathroom mirror. The campaign doesn't exclude anyone. And really: having facial hair is not held up as the ideal of masculinity as it once was, at least not here in the …

The entire title reads: I got date raped and plan to do nothing about it. Internal conflict ensues. I've already stated how I interpret her post. To me, it seems exactly like this title describes. From a feminist (Intellectual) standpoint, she regards it as date rape. But from a human perspective, she says stuff like "probably should have ended the night there", which shows regret for her own actions, which again presumes a measure of personal responsibility. She also says that se was "Super con…

When you're trying to deal with injustices in this world, it's not uncommon to reach the conclusion that there are people out there who are consciously conspiring against you.

"Deal with it" is the same as saying women should "deal with it" that men are genetically stronger in sport. I don't understand your analogy. But yes as I think said in the OP, I don't think anyone should be excluded for any reason. If voice chat is the only way to communicate, then everyone should be allowed to use it.

Honestly? Is this even a problem? I've been a gamer for years and years, and as far as I know, no one has prevented me from starting a 'guy-only' clan or guild.

I understand where you're coming from, but if I become confused because there's a woman close to me, I would never dream of asking her to hide for my sake. I'd much rather try to deal with my confusion.

It's common, whether feminist or a masculinist, to be told that you 'just can't find a partner', or that you 'can't get laid'. Alternatively, people will just say that you're unattractive. It's bad form no matter what. The implication is that you hate the other gender, because they don't put up.
