Ok so. Terminology. To be clear sorry, there is no virgin birth. It's IMMACULATE conception. The virginity of Mary is something that Catholics get excited about. But the thing is that it's that God clicked his fingers and made her pregnant. I stopped reading there. Because the author doesn't rent understand. I don't know why they mentioned Dec 25 at all. It's absolutely nothing to do with Egypt, the date of Dec 25 was chosen when the Romans stole it from some other festival. That date carries ab…

Sorry buddy. It got un-disproven. Almost every element of the Christian faith story is lifted from other religions. The virgin birth, the resurrection, the forgiveness through sacrifice. You're on a losing ticket there if you're trying to make out there's anything original in the Jesus story.

You do understand that lindybeige is ACTUALLY an expert on history, right? What he's gone and done is not mansplaining, it's called EXPLAINING.

I'm sorry, I can't help but get drawn in here. Are you seriously condescendingly explaining to me that only men can condescendingly explain something? Or are you admitting that it is the act of being openly male that causes the condescension? No amount of dick sucking on your part ..... Nah, I thought about it, and my position is that you deliberately used this sentence with the aim of causing offence. It turns out I'm not offended by the idea of sucking dick, so I can only assume you are.

Is the fact that he's correct any defence against the charge of being both male and explaining something? Stop using that word. Mansplaining. It's a word that's intended to convey some kind of feminist message, but it's an utterly sexist word. Every time you use it you undo the work of second wave feminism, and make people like me think that feminism is just about being petulant and greedy. Use normal words. For instance, call it condescending if that's what you think it is. I like the gay slur …

wait wait wait wait wait. I haven't seen this video before, but are you seriously saying that lindybeige is MANSPLAINING!!!??? The guy is constructed from sheer awesomeness. He's educated, fact based, and incredibly articulate. If you don't like the way he explains something it's almost certainly because you're not willing to accept wisdom from people smarter and more informed than yourself.

Good point. I'd hope that we could understand that it was actually about choice. The idea that women shouldn't HAVE to stay at home and bake the cookies and sweep the floors. I know for a fact that my own wife finds a lot of personal satisfaction in the idea that our kids regularly come home from school to a parent and freshly baked cookies. It bugs me that there are feminists who want to tell her that she's made the wrong choices in life to want that.

Oh that's right, it's because gender relations is an all or nothing affair. Every win for a man is a loss for a woman, and the goal is for women to win rather than come to a peaceful co-beneficial end state of equality and understanding. God I hate this woman's poisonous way of communication.

Do you need a hug? Seriously though, good points. My main point of posting the article was that it's clearly the words of someone who thinks they're more adept at building strawman arguments than they really are. I don't think there was a single thought in the whole article that didn't rely on a negative view of all things male. Thanks for your thoughts.

Yeah, I actually had high hopes for where the author was going with that thought. It turns out she was heading more towards "You have to demonstrate that you're an idiot before you're admitted to my cool club." It's idiots like her that give feminism a bad name. It's the 3rd wave feminists who are too busy saying "ew, boys a gross" that they're undoing all the work of the rights activists before them who were quicker to say "You know what? You have a point.

Probably not the best place to post this, but I couldn't think of a better place. Why is it that the older feminists seem to have the idea that THEIR OWN personal hangups about sexuality are everyone else's? Why do they seem to gloss over the choices that others make - like a narcissist: "if it's not a choice I'd make it's not a choice anyone would make"? In this whole article, without using the word, she blames the patriarchy for the evil of surrogacy, without one giving credence to the idea th…

I think that "don't work for free" is good advice for anyone. It's a common thing for people starting out in business to do too much free work - like recording your friend's band for free or something.

Later in the same article the sexist idiot complains that the organiser of a women's day event was male "because obviously women are too emotional to be able to manage such a discussion". She flat out SAYS that the $1.5M less that a woman will make compared to her partner is due to her skiving off work to raise children. (My words but her intent. Personally I think there's probably an element of cooperation in family raising/providing for......) And then in the section about how unfair pay rises…

No need to apologise. He's right. There are up and downvote buttons for a reason. If this thread is really actually dumb, then people would have given a downvote and moved on. StockhollmMeatball just broke the rule he was talking about: bitching about something instead of voting and moving on.

I think the implication is "Wait, why isn't being a boy something to be celebrated?" When I had my son I was so happy that he was a boy. When I had my daughter I was so happy that she was a girl. Why are we entertaining the idea that being a boy isn't an awesome thing to be?

Yes you have to assume. But the point of the stat is that there's less difference between an IT professional and a teaching professional than between the same teacher and a coal miner. Elsewhere on the same page whereI got that graph it shows the breakdown in careers with a bit more detail.

this graph here is a realy good example of what I'm talking about (although it could be formatted better). It's a graph of injuries by occupation group. You can see the proportions of male and female workers in different industries who get injured, and how the proportions compare across different industries.

Maybe I didn't find the right words. I'm referring to the way it's not usually talked about.

Maybe you didn't pick up on my little fruit thing there: it's apples and oranges. Same variable, different populations. I'm aware that there's a way of looking at most of those graphs so that they at least make sense if you squint in the 10 ways you've said. Some of them would be better as column graphs. In that 33% graph, remember that the relative proportions of fruit was 20%, 30% and 50%, so really the numbers are 1%, 1.5% and 2.5% of the barrel. Same variable different populations.

It's also tricky to bring up the comparative damage of the two cancers - prostate cancer is very common but not usually, by itself, fatal. They say that prostate cancer is something that you die WITH, not die FROM. Having said that, the biggest reason that it's sexist is not because of the relative damage that it does, you can't and shouldn't compare that. They're apples and oranges. The reason it's sexist is just that SUCH a big deal gets made about breast cancer, but somehow prostate cancer ha…

You could think of a pie chart as a Venn diagram. "What percentage of fruit in this barrel is apples, and which oranges or bananas?" You could cover that with a pie chart. The circle represents all the fruit in the barrell, and the segments of the pie chart the relative amounts of each fruit. Say it's 20%, 30% and 50%. The numbers will add up to 100%.

Huh. That's new. Maybe they've got some more funding than the last time I checked out their site.

Yeah, I agree. I replied to someone else nearby here with pretty much the same ideas as what you said. My understanding is that rape victims are chosen primarily by their perceived ability to defend themselves, as opposed to any kind of sexual attraction feelings.

A) is most likely. B) is really more her problem. If she has that condition, then just say "No men thanks." That's completely reasonable. "No men, thanks, because men are rapists and I don't want you to rape my kids, I hope you understand." is not reasonable. c) see B).

The number one thing they never include in these sorts of things is whether or not the people in the couple CARE. If I get it into my head on a Saturday morning that I need to mow the lawns, I don't turn to my wife and say "Well. I'm going to go mow the lawns after being at work all week. What jobs are you going to be doing in the meantime to pay me back?" She could go inside and watch a movie with the kids for all I care. The lawns won't be any more, or less, mown if she's busy inside polishing…

One of the most satisfying times of my life was when I was between jobs, (which, by itself was unpleasant) was staying at home with my young daughter and picking up my son from school while my wife worked full time. It was work, yes, but fuck it was nice work to do.

My wife was/is at home with our kids. I never quite want to have this conversation about "time". Because I know that a lot of the time I'm at work and it's quite pleasant and I'm having a chat, or just futzing around with a spreadsheet or something. But I also know that a lot of her work can be sitting having a coffee while waiting for the baby to wake up. (Gross exaggeration of each of our days).

I think her argument would be that while it's not his fault, and she's not seeking compensation from him, she is seeking part of his compensation. she's following the money and saying "hey, part of that should be mine" as opposed to suing him personally for damages.

That's because a circumcision simply isn't on the same level as having the entire clitoris removed, or having the entire labia removed.

Appeal to emotion is only a logical fallacy if you use an emotional argument in a question of fact: are you saying that a dog as cute, as adorable, as sweet as this darling little puppy here would deliberately piss on your rug?

First three paragraphs contain same information as title. The first three paragraphs of the linked article contained the same information as the title. The information, which was in the title, was the same as the information that was presented in the first three paragraphs, and did not add extra to the reader's experience. Can anyone tell me what was in the article? I'm not joking, I really did want to read it but I really hate tabloid writing.

oh, that's not what I'm getting at. I was trying to say that when you live in a rich area, but have basically the same lifestyle (in terms of car you drive, holidays you can afford to take, how well you eat etc etc) as someone from a poor area, you're not the same amount of 'rich' as the person in the less desirable area - because you're IN the more desirable area. You're paying for the enjoyment of that richer area: there's more useful shops/facilities, nicer parks, better schools, more job opp…

Because it didn't say "all men are dicks". You need to analyse a sentence like "in the cooking class I went to I noticed a distinct lack of children and penises. It was a uniformly female group." Dick and cunt are slang words. (btw, where I'm from, cunt means something like bloke or fella, it's not really a taboo word). Also, the politician wasn't referring to women as vaginas - he was saying that vaginas were absent, and presumably the women attached to those vaginas were also absent.

Yeah, but you understand the point, right? On the one hand you have a father who refuses to raise hours own kids, no matter the cost to the kids, and on the other there's the step Dad who raises his step children no matterthecost to himself. I know which choice I respect more. Be careful to not take the intention of the quote out of context.

Because of conditional consent. I know what you mean, it's a fine line between the two. But I'm going to give it a go. Usually when people are manipulated into having sex they end up consenting : "Ok, fine. I'll do it. But YOU'RE doing the dishes tonight." That's pretty low, but if the person eventually gives unconditional consent to the act itself that's not rape. But if a person gives truly conditional consent it's a different thing.

That's a somewhat reasonable claim.

FGM is fucked. But it's a different issue. It's only ever done for purely evil reasons.

Whereas 99.999% of circumcisions not carried have a good outcome (there is such a thing as the foreskin sticking to the glans but it's rare).

Yes there is. We're discussing whether there is varying degrees of assault and battery. On the one hand there's the type of assault where someone ends up on the ground with unbidden tears and spits out a tooth and holds up their arm saying "Please don't hurt me, I'll do anything you want, not my face not my face". I feel sorry for that person. On the other hand there's the type of assault where you provoke someone and get all up in their face so they ineffectually flail at you for half a second,…

What really? You honestly think that this little bitch-slap, or jacket-whack, or whatever is was, is in the same category as a stabbing? or being kicked in the head? You see them as the same thing? (Serious question)

pssh. there are varying degrees of assault - where straight up punching someone in the face can get you 6 months in jail, and this lady got a few days of community service. On a scale of Stabbing to Face-Punching - that's a "Whacked someone with a jacket." Yes ok, whacking someone with your jacket is an "assault". But the guy deserved it. He was being a dick. From what I saw on the video he had gone to an event in order to be a dick, then he was a dick, and he provoked someone and he was a dick …

I just saw the first minute. I didn't see an assault. I saw a dude being a dick, I saw someone pointing a camera at someone to deliberately provoke them, then smiling about it when he realised he had managed to get her to break out and whack him with her jacket. I was expecting something like a guy minding his own business gets hit with a big sign and falls to the floor bleeding. My kids assault me worse than this.

Not just looks. this person just seems they're totally gender confused and wants the rest of us to cope for them. I wasn't just saying that this person's face was un feminine. But you can't just chew some hormone gum and put a dress on and say you're a woman. Well you can, but you have to accept that not everyone has the same understanding of the issues.

I've never been hit in a relationship - but I can guarantee you the first words out of my mouth, no fucking matter what we were talking about before, would be "You will not hit me." And then the conversation would be about how it's a mistake for us to hit each other. I'm 6'6". If me and my partner started hitting each other it would get fucking ugly fucking quickly.

/r/MensRights04/10/12 03:56 PM

You and I don't know the details of why she's in Australia and not Italy. The custody case itself has not started. This would be a men's rights issue if Gender had featured at all. The issue here is which country the custody case is to take place, it's an issue about Australia sticking to the Hague Protocol (whatever that is) Anyway, because this is not a win for the children it is not a win for anyone.
/r/MensRights04/10/12 02:31 PM

Women committed some unnamed crime in Italy, a crime against the father. She came to Australia with four kids and lived here. After many court cases it was decided that the custody issue, as a legal question, needed to be decided in Italy. Custody itself is still not determined. Two of the four children were removed literally kicking and screaming at two in the morning and forced onto a plane to Dubai then Italy. Nobody wins. Not a men's rights issue. Just a sad story.
/r/MensRights04/10/12 12:51 PM

Yeah..... no. This is not a men's right's issue. It's a children's right issue. The only question here ought to be what is right for the children. This level of trauma for those kids is NOT a win for men's rights. I don't see why two out of four kids need to be separated in order for the case to be heard in Italy.

I was right. The word means something different where I come from. In Australia having a perve is what you do when you turn your head to watch an attractive woman/man go past, or when you check out a co-worker when you know they're not looking. The beach, for instance, can be a grouse place to cop a perve. it's not a dirty thing to do, it's only obliquely related to the definition of perversion you provided. hopefully you can see where I'm coming from. Frankly I don't like your tone - responses …

To be fair, each response ought to be given to each person. it should be: Reciprocation is a fundamental part of a healthy sexual relationship, just make sure you're physically clean (ie showered) and get yourself regularly checked out if you have had multiple partners recently. If your partner still refuses you should find a time to talk to then about how that makes you feel, if they still refuse to reciprocate it may be time to think about what that means for you personally. On the other hand,…

One time I took my kids for a couple of days at Mt Buller and we spent the whole day at the toboggan park. It was really good because there was a MASSIVE dump of snow so even the tobogganing and snow play was heaps of fun. There was hardly any people tobogganing and it was cold enough that the snow didn't melt in our gloves. Anyway, my five year old daughter (actually I think she was about to turn five) befriended this Indian tourist and the two of them spent about an hour and a half going up an…

The offensive part wasn't actually the assertion, just the guy's obliviousness to the issue - that judge's position on the personhood of all pregnancies is repugnant in its simplicity from a person who ought to know better. 25% of pregnancies self abort in the first few weeks. This is completely natural and a part of the author's perceived tragedy of lost generations. If you count pregnancies as people, ie any chain of events that lead to a person even though there isn't yet a person, then you h…

I remember going climbing once and I was coming up second. It was a really hairy climb for me - you had to go sideways for a while up at the top with really small awkward holds which meant that there was a sectionwhere the rope was not above me, so it was real "don't fall here!" stuff. When I got to the top the leader can't unclip me until I say safe - but I was so scared and adrenalised that I walked ten meters away from the cliff, refused to say safe until I had put a sling around a massive tr…

You're right that this is true. Every rape liar makes life very difficult for the real rape victims trying to convince sceptical police to arrest their attacker. The point is that this isn't the worst outcome. The worst outcome is that two men were arrested out of this evil lie. The article basically brushed over that.

Yeah, that was the paragraph that stood out for me. The downsides of falsely accusing men of rape seem to be: it makes real rape cases harder to prosecute, it makes real rape victim harder to believe and juries and judges feel guilty convicting men who could well be innocent... ...oh, and they kind of left out that one of the downsides is that the men in question have to live through BEING FALSELY ACCUSED OF RAPE.
