I've never taken drugs of that nature. I just feel calm, alert, and super comfortable in my own skin. I also notice that others notice my inner mental state. It could be entirely a placebo effect, but I have reason to doubt this.

"Mayor Richard Bloom told The Lookout Friday that it raises red flags when it comes to religious rights and women's health." And it doesn't raise ANY flags when it comes to men's health? That men should be expected to endure sexual mutilation for the sake of women is absolutely disgusting.

My belief: Masculine is an adjective with a definite meaning, contrary to post-modern desconstructions. Risk-taking, leadership, bravery, and defending loved ones, are a few traits that are masculine. Women have been encouraged to become more masculine over the past few decades with mixed success, and the notion of masculine traits relegated primarily to men has become a dirty idea.

Rather than put yourself into the fire right away, take a step back and go to a place where you can people-watch. Such places could be a mall, farmer's market, summer fair, grocery store, park, public transportation, etc. Be inconspicuous and try to figure out if they are happy, sad, angry, etc.. Try to figure out the dynamics of power between people in the group. What is their body language communicating? See how quickly you can size people up. Then try this while interacting with people.

People do take passionflower to help with sleep, but I do not believe it makes you sleepy in and of itself; I believe it just makes it easier to sleep if you want to. However, I don't know for sure. I take it with meals, just an eyedropper-full in a glass of water; it tastes kind of pleasant.

This is slightly unrelated, but slightly related. I'm putting my MR hat on.... If you were drunk and she was not, would she be in remotely any trouble for taking advantage of you? This is a double standard, one that everyone should be aware of, and in no way am I suggesting that what the OP did was in any way okay.

I am the same way. How do you make it feel natural? I say keep fucking doing it until it becomes natural. You can change your mind with enough practice.

I just got setup on a blind date a couple months ago.... I say, go with it! There's nothing to lose, just make it fun for yourself and the girl. She's a friend of a friend, so treat her nice, and remember, she also has to treat you nice. It's awkward for both of you, so make fun of the awkwardness as a start, and it'll be fine. The most likely outcome is that you'll both have fun, but nothing more. Most unlikely is that you'll end up loving or hating each other, but you never know. In the end it…

The ideal scenario: I pay for the first date (usually something cheap like coffee or a couple drinks at the bar), the girl should offer to pay, and I refuse and joke about it being her treat the next time. After she agrees, tell her "Sweet! I want to go out for steak dinners at Sheraton next time then". She laughs, but should take the hint. Next date: she should offer to pay and you tell her it'd be nice to split it or go Dutch. If she doesn't offer to pay on the first date or doesn't cough up m…

I love the word gentleman, because it describes exactly what is attractive. A gentleman is gentle, someone who is loving and gracious. A gentleman is also a man, someone who is confident, demands respect and will fight if necessary.

This is good advice. I would also add that you should commit to going even if she is declines. Firstly, you will speak with natural congruence about your intentions. Secondly, life is short and you should be able to have fun without depending on other people.

It's okay to seduce women who are taken, because quite often, they aren't happy with their current relationship, and beautiful women are rarely single. The only time this is not okay is when you are friends with her boyfriend. You are not the one who is cheating, she is. Men are not responsible for the actions of women.

The story is that interviewers and bosses often will look at how you interact with other people when deciding to give you a job or promotion. When you are the focus of their attention, despite someone else speaking you try to do your best and please the person evaluating you, not necessarily the one speaking to you. In seduction, epoxy eyes invokes the same response, it's a move that exudes self-confidence and demonstrates higher value since you are doing it right in front of her friends. If she…

Ahhhh. You have nailed something I've been trying to articulate for a while. From your last two lines, I would rather say that equity is masculine and equality is feminine instead of men and women. It's not popular these days to use masculine and feminine as adjectives, but there are clear differences between the two, as has been written about abundantly in religion and philosophy throughout the ages. Everyone has levels of masculinity and femininity...the tendency is that men are more masculine…

I've found that when you are in a situation where you know you will repeatedly see the same person day in and day out, it's better to build clout than just flat out cold opener approaches. Work on getting a social life together, plan hangout activities for your friends, join clubs, flirt with everyone, win the respect of your teachers and coaches, be polite to the janitors and lunch ladies (say hi to them e.g.), and do well in school!

This is survey data, and the questions asked are not typical to life experiences. Therefore, I think the study is crap. It'd be better to do a proper field experiment instead of asking these loony delusional hypotheticals.

I am going to augment your suggestion. Read the news out loud before you go out and sarge. Anything from the current day is fine.

Did you also notice how many of the submissions (~90%) are of CLOTHED men, despite forum allowances for NSFW images? You guys know that the male equivalent of ladyboners would be all nude women.

Right. I didn't say be good at everything. It's impossible to be good at everything. In fact, you shouldn't be good at everything; I hate those people =P. But I know that everyone is good at something, and being good at that something usually didn't involve pure luck, but also effort (usually a lot of it).

I would call scholarships for blacks/hispanics/asians racist. They may be justified from some standpoints, but they are racist, because selection is based on racial terms. As I said, scholarships should go to able students who can't afford education, regardless of their profiles. Whether we call it privilege or racism, I think we're talking about the same thing.

Fucking material and relationship material are two different things; the ideal being a combination of the two. There is a growing a dearth of educated, successful young men today, and an abundance of educated, successful young women. If happiness is measured purely by hooking up, then the douchebags win. However, I'd say that if anything, people like me have won. At any given community service event girls usually outnumber guys 2:1; the same ratio holds on campus; the same ratio holds at art exp…

I really don't understand why anyone would want to do this to himself. High testosterone means better physical fitness, mental clarity, focus, energy, confidence, happiness, and yes, horniness too, but you are giving up a lot more than libido by messing up your hormones. Don't do it.

She lost me when she said that Viagra is not medically related, but birth control is. I see it exactly the opposite way. Birth control shouldn't be covered under health insurance, because it has nothing to do with health. However, Viagra does help males suffering from impotence, a deviation from the norm. Women have told me that they need birth control in order to have a proper hormone balance. In that case I would agree with their argument to have it covered under health insurance as "hormonal …

Contrary to political correctness, objectification of women (and men) is a great thing, and everyone objectifies. For men, women are pieces of ass and people with personalities and soul, not one or the other, but both. PUA acknowledges the former, which feminists and pop culture have tried to obliterate out of existence to no avail. There is nothing wrong with objectifying women. Every man does it whether he wants to or not, but there is something to be said of people who ONLY objectify. As far …

Thank you for your reply, Rhie.

The best place to do this: shopping malls and grocery stores. The reason is you can warm up with the people who are paid to talk to you: salespeople.

Honestly, I think most women would also be ok with traditional gender roles, but it's just unpopular at the moment.

You know, I used to think the same as this. But nowadays I honestly think circumcision on adults should be abhorred as well. Most people would be disgusted by an adult who willingly chopped off his ears or nose for no good reason, unless the poor person had ear or nose cancer or some other medical problem. I see circumcision in the same light. Sure, it's your right if you choose to get circumcised as an adult, but personally, I think it's as fucked up as wanting to chop your ears off.

Last time I checked, babies aren't sexually active. So there is really no reason to protect them from sexually transmitted diseases by surgery without their consent at that age.

Your problem is that you don't separate rights from issues. The fact that women live longer than men is an issue, not a right. Protection against male genital mutilation, is a right. Another is equality in child custody. Another is equality in punishments for felonies.

These males tolerate how they are, because they don't have a choice.

I disagree. Opinions that are nonsensical which does not add to discussion should be downvoted.

There is no room for respectful discourse with people who are themselves disrespectful. Most feminists that come here in the spirit of true equality have been heralded.

Hey, while we're at it, let's have a reasonable debate about the genetic superiority of the Aryan race. Somehow female genital mutilation gets thrown into the category of so-inconceivably-wrong-that-its-not-open-to-debate along with slavery and Nazism, while male genital mutilation should …

The only reason this is ever hotly debated is because men who have already been sexually mutilated want to subscribe to the delusion that there is nothing wrong with them, that they are 100% complete, intact, and problem-free. Circumcised men, and their lovers are the only ones who keep promoting this barbaric practice. You can restore your foreskin. I've been wearing a restoring device for over a year now, and IT WORKS.

You know what questions people don't ask? Are men the majority of protectors in every society? Do men invent the majority of technological breakthroughs? Have men been the majority source of creativity in arts, science, and spirituality since forever? No, because that is a "result of patriarchy", which must be destroyed. Of course, when men are the majority of anything negative, it's not also due to "patriarchy", but because of the inherent biological deficiencies of men.

Nice post. Many people often equate psychiatry and psychology, which are completely different worlds. Psychiatry is a science run by physicians, not a bunch of Dr. Phil's. I disagree with your belief about equality in sexuality, because men and women are not equal when it comes to sexuality. They are different. Having sex with as many different partners as possible is more of a male trait than a female one. This picture explains it better than words: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JDF20fmuhLY/R8YOrox…

Gay men are completely welcome here. Consider this: a woman kisses another woman (e.g. Britney and Madonna), and it's celebrated as an expression of her sexuality, etc etc etc. However, the minute a man tries kissing another man, he's gay, no matter what. Bisexuality isn't an option for men. Women kissing women is more socially accepted than men kissing men (e.g. Adam Lambert at the AMA's). Like I said. Gay men are completely welcome here.

I disagree with you. Too many marriages start failing when the woman becomes a mother and forgets about being a wife. People get married because they love each other first, and then have kids.

I'm sorry, but your terminologies aren't that great. They shouldn't be compared to each other as there is no chauvinism movement. Chauvinism is a derogatory term.

I agree with feminism inasmuch that it fights for equal rights, opportunities, and responsibilities. Feminists often forget the responsibilities part (e.g. equal jail time, child support, selective service, etc.). I don't see this side of feminism as a "hate movement".

About #1, men are not afforded any sympathy from society if they admit they don't like being circumcised. Ridicule is more common. Women who have been sexually mutilated usually get sympathy, at least in the West.

Thank you for the polite discussion. I've upvoted you, even if we disagree. You've certainly heard the "I'm not a piece of meat!" sentiment in feminist thinking. Essentially, I'm saying that women do the exact same thing to men, but on different parameters (e.g. height, education, social status, humor, articulation). Men are called pigs for judging women by their looks. But why aren't women called pigs for being equally shallow on different parameters? That's what I'm getting at. Essentially, I'…

One is liberation and the other is preservation, generally speaking. The problem that I have with your opinion …

Yes, you're onto something. Are people supposed to get married because of money and stuff or because they love each other? What are people supposed to marry for? The husband should be the wife's lover. The father should be the children's provider. If the man agrees to work and the woman agrees not to, that's fine, but let's not accept the devolution of marriage (and dating) into a form of prostitution, where the man provides for the woman and the woman gives him sex because of it. This is why pa…

I think the main problem with the post is the comparison of false rape accusers to rapists. While both are heinous, they aren't the type of crime or criminal, so the logic is hard to follow. I think the stories where a woman has sex with a minor vs. a man having sex with a minor, but both receiving flagrantly different news coverage (and jail sentences) is a fairer comparison. Perhaps you could find something where a man is put in jail for falsely spreading rumors that woman is a slut (libel, de…

By the way, the video, if you watched it, made the point that it is older women who are circumcising girls, not men...just as men are the ones circumcising boys, not women. Hence, my initial comment.

You said: "But the option to have one side 'opt out' isn't fair because it creates a new burden on the party that does wish to raise the child and it puts the child at an instant disadvantage." Women have the option to 'opt out'. Men don't. INEQUALITY. Also, there are far too many women who are behaving as girl-children who already have a get-out-of-jail free card either via abortion or adoption. Why is it that only men are the irresponsible ones?

The solution is to give men the same rights women have regarding parenting. Upon birth, a woman can decide to be a mom or give up her rights as a parent and give the child for adoption. A man should likewise be able to decide to be a dad or give up his rights as a parent. This might result in a culture of irresponsibility for sex and having children, but I doubt it. There are compelling reasons for mothers to give their babies for adoption already: she is mentally unfit to be a parent, she is no…

Whether or not one is pro-life or pro-choice is irrelevant to the point I am making. The right to "have children" includes parenting rights, which are disproportionately allocated to women. There are three basic "phases" in having a child: 1) The choice to have sex. 2) The choice to carry a baby to term. 3) The choice to be a parent and support a child for 18 years. For 1, the choice is equal. For 2, the choice is the woman's. For 3, the choice is the woman's for both herself and the father. Num…

The point is not whether or not people should have rights to terminate parenting responsibilities. The point is that there is an INEQUALITY between men and women regarding the choice to be or not to be a parent. If both the man and woman are forced to be parents. FAIR. If both the man and woman have the choice to be parents. FAIR. If the woman has the right to decide whether or not she will raise the child and whether or not the man will be parenting and paying child support. UNFAIR.

You're correct. The risk of baby-creation is equally shared. The risk of a 9-month pregnancy is shared only by the woman who rightly has the sole right to terminate this. The risk of an 18-year-long parenting role is shared by both the man and woman. HOWEVER, only the woman (unjustly) has the right to terminate parenting for herself AND/OR the man. Imagine this scenario: a woman's eggs at a fertility clinic are used make a baby by two gay men. Now that women is ordered to pay child support. Is t…

Sure, take average wages by gender and women make less than men.

Some other person here once said that we should just call circumcision mutilation instead of worrying over what is and isn't circumcision and how it compares between genders.

Everyone pays attention to the gender ratio of sex crimes and label men as the perpetrators of violence.

“I think it’s important that pediatricians consider the lifelong benefits that might accrue from circumcision when they are advising parents on whether the procedure should be performed in baby boys.” Circumcision is not Gardasil.

The problem with characterizing a problem like this is that anything that isn't "manly" is unattractive to women. So either men are rapists by adhering to the status qu…

Never apologize to make other people feel better. You'll learn the bad habit of groveling to get approval, and you'll lose your self-esteem, attractiveness, and gf really fast. You should only apologize if you sincerely believe you messed up and that you want forgiveness. My $.02 is probably too late, but you should reply in a way that reframes the recipients as people who are way too uptight to get humour. I mean, honestly, these people are your friends, right? Do they really think you're a big…

I recognize that freedom of speech and association are rights. However, the reason I am upset is not feminists' ability to engage in discourse, but in their ability to fix the problems that they present. That's the assumption, I'm making: that feminists want to fix problems they see in society. My complaint is that the way they're blogging is utterly inane for this purpose. Maybe they want to broadcast their opinions one-way, which is fine, but still inane. As Phil Donahue once said to Bill O'Re…

I find myself ranting here more and more, because I'm censored on feminist blogs. That's fine. They're their blogs after all, and they can have whatever comments policy they like. HOWEVER, if we're not allowed to speak what we want until we first conform to their rules, just the way it happens in relationships, marriage, and public life, doesn't that just engender more hate (e.g. posts like this one)? Freedom of speech is a good thing, especially the kind you personally find hard to stomach. Rem…

I like this excerpt from The Office: Michael Scott: Kelly... Kelly Kapoor: I was raped. Michael Scott: You cannot say "I was raped" and expect all of your problems to go away, Kelly. Not again. Don't keep doing that.

No it won't. The fanatics won't get laid and will die out, literally. Trust me. Just wait 40 years. After this women will realize that men begging forgiveness for having testicles is not that sexy either. Then we'll have proper fairness and sexiness.

2nd paragraph: "I mean, other than the potentially obvious reason that scientists haven't yet figured out how to safely and easily kill sperm while maintaining a man's potential to continue creating it." What about the feminist lobby that wants exclusive control of reproduction, saying that a male birth control pill would be bad for women? Jezebel also banned me for making two non-scathing comments. /confused

Saying that women and men use their brains differently, would be much more palatable. Of course, women are smarter, and I need to be reminded that by the mainstream.

I think we do agree. What I am stressing is that many of these ingrained traits are often the subject of attack. That's just not playing fairly. It's not nice to treat menopause as undesirable. Every woman goes through it. It's not a choice.

Unfortunately, nobody teaches kids how to stand up to bullies. Parents are oblivious, and teachers don't care. Every boy needs to know how to be taught how to stand up for himself. They should really teach classes on this stuff in middle school. Low self-esteem and and confidence permeate all aspects of a kid's life, including educational performance. I actually think bullying is a great phenomenon. There are bullies and assholes everywhere in the world. Better to learn how to deal with them whe…

The Brits need to be quarantined to their puny island. Those little snots have no capacity for cultural understanding, or at least a capacity to cite blissful ignorance like Americans. Instead they just point and laugh pompously at anything that looks different which they can't rationalize through their asinine brainpower. /rant

Cramkake, you're splitting hairs for the sake of argument. That's fine, but it's annoying, and partly my fault. I should have said this at the beginning, but I'm speaking about the general tendencies of men. For example, men are physically stronger than women, but there are tons of women that could kick my ass in weight-lifting. In the same way, men are generally less risk-averse than women. The attack that you didn't know about is here: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=6863333&page=1. In case…

Taking risks is one example. Being excited by beautiful women is another. Both of these unchangeable masculine traits, embedded in our biology, which have been subject to attack just this past week. The crash was caused by a case of "too much testosterone" on Wall Street. Of course, without mention that the same testosterone-laden trading floors brought us the success of the 90's. Also, it has been discovered that men objectify images of women, so men must also objectify women in person, though …

NO, it was definitely airing last night, that is February 15th, 2009. I know, because I was watching it on my television. It's a report from late 2007 or 2008 I believe. What's irresponsible, is that they aired it again, after the news from the UN was released.

I actually really like Bill O'Reilly, even though I'm a fairly liberal/democrat/progressive person. Talking head programs are quasi entertainment, and Bill has lightened up a bunch in the past few years. The shouting matches are funny. I especially like the one with Geraldo. Keith Olberman, Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews. I like them all.

It seems that Nicholas D. Kristof wants to make a public apology for having testicles. Here is my argument: Successful female traders are most probably very similar to their male counterparts! Really? What? That's where my aggravation comes from, and every feminist should agree with me -- that women can be anything a man can be, at least some women if not all. What I really disliked was taking aggregate data about female behaviour and applying it to such a small microcosm.

It's not Christian to get circumcised. In fact, Roman Catholicism is against it. It has only recently (100-200 years) been advocated by Christian conservatives mainly in protestant circles.

pn6, you have misconstrued what I said. I did not say that slavery does not exist. I said that there are "definite social changes in the mainstream". The UN has declared it wrong, all developed countries denounce it, and most developing countries denounce it as well. This was not the case throughout human history until very recently. The mainstream opinion regarding slavery has shifted from night to day. Whether actual slavery has been eliminated or eliminated equally is another subject. I am ig…

What I'm saying is that we'll finally be able to reconcile biological truths with freedom and equality. Biologically, nothing will change. Humans haven't changed very much since we started recording history. However, socially, we've been evolving measurably. Long gone are the days when slavery was socially acceptable. Colonialism is another example. There are exceptions, but I'm referring to definite social changes in the mainstream. Right now these biological truths and social ideals are often …

pn6, As I said, I'm sorry I can't/didn't write out all the details in my head in one response. To expand: the modern masculinity I'm referring to is really only appropriate for an audience in developed westernized countries. Honestly, I'm really only thinking about the U.S. at this stage. However, I feel male rights in general is much more easily applied universally. The UN declaration of human rights is in my mind as I'm typing this. Thanks for your support!

I want to comprehensively elucidate all male rights issues, from birth to death. However, the ultimate goal is to promote a yet-to-be defined modern masculinity. There is nothing inherently filthy or wrong about being a male, otherwise evolution has drastically fucked up. However, our culture is definitely evolving, feminism amongst other movements, and I believe the majority of these changes have been good for society, but are also very incomplete. We need to rally for the issues that affect me…

I think there are fundamental issues in the men's rights movement is that it is currently weak, disorganized, and disjointed. Most people don't even know it exists. The term for us is non-standard: masculist vs. masculinist. And the most core issue: the range of our positions are hopelessly dissonant, ranging from anti-feminism/male superiority to gender equalization. However, I think most of us support feminism as well as masculism. I'd go one step further and argue that most masculists believe…
