We had a really small CS department but I think my year (2010) we had 7 guys and 3 girls graduate. But I think aside from those 3 there were only like another 4-5 that were freshman, sophomores, or juniors. The ones that stuck around after CS101 were pretty damn smart too. Most engineering fields are resistant to this kind of feminist bullshit because the software engineering world only cares about your skills, not your gender.

But hold on here - according to the article men applied in fewer numbers than women. Isn't that completely voluntary? It's not like they applied in equal numbers but more men got denied - men in general appear to be making the choice to go to university less often than women. It's like when feminists claim the wage gap is based on discrimination when it's really the choices of women that lead to them having less income, like taking time off to raise kids or work fewer hours to accomodate them. I…

Is it not possible that women are just better at handling education and are therefore more interested in it, instead of assuming the inbuilt disparity is a result of educator bias and discrimination? Much in the same way that men are generally better at physically demanding tasks and spatial thinking, whereas women tend to have different areas that they're better at.

Both of those approaches are wrong. Your gender has nothing to do with your ability to write code or administer care. There isn't equal interest in these fields across genders and feminists are undermining the concept of equality by purporting that certain fields are 'missing out' because of a lack of women. (And here I thought you just said gender didn't matter, so it doesn't follow that hiring more women would be any Bette than hiring more men.) It's ridiculous gender politics that is only acc…

Aren't men more likely to pick a career that doesn't require a degree though? Seems like you'd expect a disparity there. EDIT: As much as I hate being the guy who complains about downvotes, i seriously think you guys are committing the same shit we accuse feminists of doing with the wage gap. A disparity does not necessarily mean discrimination, and if there are legitimate reasons for more women pursuing college than men, we should acknowledge it and focus on actual problems.

Men are definitely omitted from the article but I'm not seeing an implicit blaming of men. It is funny to see how much they completely ignore boys who get outright murdered or forced into being a soldier, while having the same near-complete lack of access to education. Third world countries suck, and not only for women.

The whole "racism/sexism = privilege plus power" asshattery that they're teaching in sociology/women's studies classes is really treated like dogma for some of these people. They think that if they stick to this ridiculous redefinition of the word that people will buy into their shitty ideology.

I'm saying it isn't inherent to the longer commute. My employer isn't going to offer me better pay because I have a longer commute. Increased salary because I had a wider range because of willingness to commute is an indirect benefit.

I don't think a longer commute necessarily translates to a higher wage, but I do think the basis dor which men get charged more for insurance is perfectly valid. I just wish they were consistent about where they apply that mentality. Men are forced to subsidize the cost of women's healthcare so I think it would be fair to do the same for car insurance.

It would make sense if they were getting paid the same if they were working fewer hours, but they were actually working more - do skilled laborers make less in the UK or something? So many aspects of this case seem bizarre to me.
/r/MensRights24/04/14 09:39 PM

Right, so it sounds like the fact that they work more hours resulted in the university artificially lowered their hourly rate despite being in the same nominal pay band. If that's an accurate account of how it went down then that's definitely discrimination, but it seems like the gender basis to it isn't really the issue - it just so happened that there weren't any women working jobs that worked more hours on average and therefore subject to this asshattery. Interestingly enough, though, this is…

I'm a little confused here. They were getting paid differently but were largely doing different work, right? If there were female plumbers getting paid more just because they were female, that's a huge issue. But it seems like they're making the same incorrect conclusion that we lambast feminists for making in that just because there's a disparity it must be due to discrimination. Am I missing something here?

The prison sentence thing I'm pretty sure is true as there have been studies that demonstrate even for the same crime men get sentenced worse, but I don't like the way it's presented here. I think instead of averaging out prison sentences for different crimes we should put out a couple of them on a crime-by-crime basis so it's a better comparison, lest we be guilty of the "77 cents" bullshit we always make fun of.

Try bringing up men's issues in a feminist space. If you don't get immediately banned you'll be accused of 'derailing'. Feminists like to say they want to help men but it's just talk.

No matter how much you try to separate feminists into different subgroups, it's still a massive leap in logic to claim that radical feminists don't make up a significant and vocal component of all self-designated feminists, and that feminism and MRAs are working towards the same goal.

If the feminists who established all these womens' shelters were striving for the same goal, it would never have required…

To which thing are you referring? I mean, there's a quote right there in the article from a prominent feminist, and the entire concept of "rape culture" revolves around some of the points presented. I mean, just googling "all PIV sex is rape" brings up more than a few articles highlighting a couple extreme radfems' belief in that ridiculous concept.

You can't claim they're strawmen when this kind of sentiment is exactly what some feminists perpetuate: https://www.google.com/url?q=http://scholar.google.com/scholar_url%3Fhl%3Den%26q%3Dhttp://mje.mcgill.ca/article/download/1077/2086%26sa%3DX%26scisig%3DAAGBfm0YIBYqWzgRx3H1-YImxRg-F9y-sw%26oi%3Dscholarr&sa=X&ei=9FpPU9WLG9WsyASRpIL4Dg&ved=0CCMQgAMoATAA&usg=AFQjCNHfCJK2_GyDBzA4WZ6msjzy11KBog

leftist thought. Which is synonymous with restricted though/speech. Is what I disagree with. Of course there have been leftist governments that restrict speech and discourage free thinking. There have also been right-wing regimes that did the exact same thing. Censorship is not exclusive to extreme leftists.
/r/MensRights16/04/14 11:52 PM

I think what he's trying to say is that censorship isn't inherently leftist. To conflate the two would be a leap in logic. Extreme political philosophies on either side of the spectrum, especially when the institutional power they hold is being challenged, will try to silence detractors.

Doing great until that last paragraph. Censorship and leftism don't necessarily go hand-in-hand. Let's not pretend right-wing elements have never been guilty of trying to censor opposing views. Censorship knows no political boundaries. It's a desperate attempt to hang onto fleeting political power - in this case feminists using it to try and stifle support for the MRM. It has nothing to do with being politically left.

I'm not the biggest fan of this administration these days, but up to this point it's political suicide, especially for a Dem, to admit the "wage gap" statistic touted by feminists is fundamentally faulty. I would never expect them to discuss the nuance of why it doesn't work - politically it just doesn't make sense to do so, any more than it would suit a right wing politician to discuss why perhaps completely unrestricted access to firearms may not be the best way to interpret the 2nd amendment.…

I don't have a problem with certain occupations drawing more folks of a particular gender or the other. Men and women are different, and there's nothing wrong with that. The problem I have is the insistence by feminists in some of these fields with a gender disparity that we HAVE to balance it out somehow, often by hiring worse candidates just because they're women. If 90% of software engineers are men, and 10% are women, but only 10% of all engineers are qualified for position X, hiring 50/50 g…

I think if your kid is doing hard, life-destroying drugs like heroin, then you have failed as a parent. Obviously the choice was hers, but that doesn't mean that he was a successful parent - he obviously failed to impart the very important "don't inject yourself with things that will probably kill you even though it's fun for a while" lesson. I can't say I subscribe to the idea that someone's kids can OD and still be called a "model parent".

Bullshit. I don't care if she was 45. If my kid died of a probable heroin overdose I'd definitely view that at least partially as a failure on my end.

How about you stop victim-blaming!? </s> Although I'd honestly wonder if women not using purses would affect violent crime all that much. Purses are simple enough for a snatch-and-grab, but it's not like criminals are going to rethink their occupations once that option is off the table. It's a tricky issue and not one easily solved, but women aren't the only victims of violent crime, and throwing men's lives at the problem is an abhorrent viewpoint to take.

Actually, the point I was trying to make was that it doesn't matter if these women are feminists or not - they reap the material benefits of feminism while completely disposing of any of the responsibilities that are supposed to come with equality. You can't have both, but modern feminists do not like to admit the extent to which women can and do utilize sexism when it benefits them. It leads to a very one-sided philosophy where feminists are quick to champion benefits for women in the name of e…

This is exactly why I can't take modern feminism seriously. There are substantial segments of the female population who are perfectly fine with utilizing the idea that they're weak and need to be protected, and constantly trying to give women a disproportionate amount of support just lets women like this get the best of both worlds. The article even mentions that someone's boyfriend got shot chasing down a purse-snatcher - why the fuck would I risk my life for a purse?

I actually don't have a problem with men paying more for car insurance for that exact reason. Statistically we are more costly from an insurance point of view, and if that's the model we're going to go with then that's fine with me.

This isn't what the study is saying.

I guess that depends on what you consider cost-of-living. Before taxes I took home just over 100K this year. After state and federal income tax, 401k contributions, insurance, and whatnot it's only about 60k. Then rent and student loans take a big hit out of that, but overall we're still living pretty comfortably.

I'm salaried but that doesn't make a difference. The cumulative amount of extra hours I work results in output that said putative co-worker does not have. In my employer's eyes I am the one that can be relied upon during crunch time. This translates to more frequent promotions and raises over less reliable engineers, or at least it has thus far.

You could do the same with "define sexism" or "define racism" but the answer google gives (which would be the conventional, everyday definition normal people use) would be different from the context that modern feminism tries to force on people. Anyone who's ever taken a gender studies course in the past decade knows that what -they- consider feminism is diametrically opposed to equality of the sexes.
