Circumcised gay guy here. Uncut dicks are my preference. I think they look more masculine and less pretty.

If you click through to the "Schools of Shame" map, you will see they calculate the number of expected sexual assaults as 25% of the female population of the school. Then they use the number of reported sexual assaults (from 2012 for the school I looked at) to derive an "Actual Report to Expected Assault Ratio." I think it is interesting that apparently they implicitly assume that all of the reported sexual assault victims were women, as there is no indication given that they used or were able t…

If he's actually a credentialed actuary then he is ridiculously more numerate than the vast majority of business school graduates. And given that the process to become a credentialed actuary takes easily four years (typically after university), he also wouldn't be undisciplined.

When I worked retail back in the day, only men and boys were sent to wrangle carts. The backroom pulls were also all men except for truck unloading, where women would scan and help move boxes along a conveyor (although it was always a man lifting the boxes out of the truck and putting them on the conveyor). Cashiers were an okay mix but skewed female, especially the leads. Other than that, on the sales floor I think it was closest to equal pay for equal work. The men and women were doing exactly…

Your first statement doesn't really follow. By suggesting that feminism is a religion, I in no way meant that a feminist could not be atheist with respect to, say, a Christian god. Furthermore, People can be religious in some ways and evidence-based in others; plenty of scientists and doctors are. There are also many reasons people are atheist, but, as in the case of Dawkins, perhaps the primary reason is the lack of evidence. I actually agree with part of your final statement, where I said any …

Feminism is like a religion in many ways. Sometimes the question is raised why a generally very liberal site like reddit seems to be anti-feminist; I think rather it's that reddit has a sensitive bullshit detector with regard to ideologies in general. Examples of feminism being like a religion: Extremists who use violence and intimidation against critics (e.g., see Toronto protests). Purely religious (faith in a belief system without--or in spite of--evidence) concepts like the patriarchy. Perse…

I used to work in Illinois and it was on one of the required legal postings in a break area (actually I remembered wrong and it is $0.71).

It is child abuse. For the past few months i have been quietly thinking this and wondering how to properly weaponize it against judges who refuse to enforce the child's right to see his or her father. Billboards publicly shaming guilty judges and branding them as the child abusers they are would be effective, but they cost money. Unfortunately there is not much money in helping fathers and their children, in no small part because of confiscatory child support.

Only thing that bothers me is why it matters whether she had a mental health problem? Only seems to matter when the perpetrator is a woman. I think this goes back to an issue that affects many different aspects if life in western society: the idea that men are responsible for their actions no matter what, but women are routinely treated as being more like children with respect to accountability and responsibility.

A bigger issue is that by implanting the idea in the minds of law enforcement that this is a particularly risky day, they're going to see domestic violence whether or not it is there and whether or not they would have categorized it the same way on any other day. This could easily, easily explain the 16% increase.

but women HAVE been oppressed for a very long time BOTH sexes have been oppressed for a very long time, just in different ways. Men generally did all the labor and took the vast majority of the risk. Women generally did not have the same level of authority or command. This is one of the central issues with feminism/men's rights, I think.

I have heard of it before. Usually it is used as a punishment where the violator has commitments such that a jail term all at once would not be in the interests of justice. Think students or single parents who commit not terribly serious crimes.

I believe that for someone to be convicted of a crime, the case really needs to be proved. The story here is kind of disappointing, because it appears that the prosecutor took a gamble and figured maybe he or she could con a jury, taking advantage of pedophile hysteria, when the evidence was apparently so weak. Anyway, I am fine with someone being fired when the evidence doesn't prove that he or she committed a crime but is still pretty damning. For example, if OJ Simpson had been one of my empl…

You know I am not extremely disappointed in the school. I have always believed that there should be a very good case against someone to convict him or her of a crime, particularly a crime as serious as this. However, if there is some kind of evidence, then I think a separate investigation by the school is appropriate. If it is only the word of the girls, then screw it and give him his job back.

You've actually almost precisely identified the issue here. Judges will credulously believe absolutely every word of whatever the mother says but, as was the case here, ignore or neglect any issue the father raises. Obviously there is middle ground. One very good method would be take concerns seriously but to actually punish any baseless accusations made by a parent—which simply does not happen now, even in rather egregious and obvious cases. Children should not under the care of any guardian wh…

Not to mention, if men and women are both equally good at everything, then a company that doesn't hire women is really limiting the amount of talent it has available. That means that when a company discriminates against women, other companies benefit from that and again, given our assumption, we would expect those other companies to hire more women instead of men. So I wonder which is wrong... that there is discrimination going on or that women and men in general are equally good at everything.

It's kind of amusing how some apparent feminists tried to frame the reform as being anti-woman because abortions would not be covered as a matter of course. What a ridiculous position when anyone with any sense should immediately recognize that men would be paying far more than their fair share for mandated insurance. And yet, while the total amount is smaller compared to health insurance, men still have to pay their fair share for car insurance with no subsidizing from women. I'm wondering if t…

I think the father should be able to sue his wife for the loss of their children and for pain and suffering. Also, I believe his claim should be prioritized above the state's claim for legal fees. By immediately fining and taking the money for the legal fees out of her assets, they are circumventing a proper determination of who is entitled to her liquidated assets in a normal bankruptcy (I am assuming she would be forced to file bankruptcy owing to the father's claims for damages).

There are a number of wide-ranging estimates, and the issue is quite politicized.

Men risk paying tons of money (more than the cost to women both in expenses and decrease in future earnings, if the man makes a decent amount or needs to make a number of court appearances), risk of being put in jail if they lose their job and can't pay, risk of dying or being sexually assaulted in jail, risk of losing substantial quality of life and health.

I think maybe the point is that this plays into the idea that domestic violence is only something perpetrated by men.

The thing that causes me the most pain about /MensRights is all the false rape allegation stories... They really bug me, and I don't see why the general public is so blind to their incredible prevalence.

The age of consent here is 17 (16 in my home state), but the law here says that explicit imagery must have only 18+ actors. Are you saying that's not the case in Britain? I would be against charging them for a variety of good reasons, but I suspect if that incident occurred where I am, the boy would also be charged (with making and possessing child pornography).

And she immediately goes for the "underaged boys raped me" defense. I'm sure it's happened before, and I'm sure past (female) perpetrators have been successful with it.

I saw this earlier, and one thing bugged me: it clearly says the boys (I'd just like to point that out) who were arrested were 17, and one of them had video of the encounter. Wouldn't that be child pornography, then?

A range of solutions needed to be developed to combat the trend, Prof Carrington said, including new educational programs about female violence and greater regulation of cyber space and its usage. And if it requires giving even less attention and concern to troubled boys' issues, that's a cost society is clearly willing to pay. Even if boys are still quite a bit more likely to be "delinquent"

I've seen that, and my understanding is that it is legal if you are looking for roommates. Of course, I don't know why it bugs you because it's a huge sign to stay far away!! Would you rather they not make their prejudices clear, leading you to waste your time? And why would you want to be roommates with someone like that even if they were forced to take you by law? Also, I would probably put "straight males only" in my listings because I'm not a fan of drama, false DV or rape allegations, etc. …

I think the men falsely accused could in fact sue the AP if they wanted, since the correspondent told many of the allegations as fact without the usual weasel words such as "sources say," etc.

I find it interesting that the people who know Bedward (one of the falsely accused) stated that he was a kind guy, a big "teddy bear," really polite, on and on.... and yet they still must have believed this lying felonious piece of shit when she said she was raped. They were shocked and surprised, and none of them sticks up and says the allegations sound phony.

Oh, man. One of your readers quoted a couple comments from "feministing," and they're pretty sick: "I'm curious about this "ruining the accused's life" meme. It gets thrown around a whole lot in dialog about rape, and I've always wondered if it actually meant anything at all." And: "Frankly I'm not convinced this was entirely consensual even with the cell phone video. We don't know what went on before that was turned on, we don't know what was going through her head."

Does anyone know if arrests tend to stick to someone's record the same way a conviction might? I often read about people in the news who have been arrested X number of times with no mention of convictions. In cases where charges are dropped or vacated does the arrest still stand?

I used to think of that kind of work as a paid workout. :-) And actually climbing ladders all the time, pushing things, and lifting heavy boxes and equipment did build some muscle for me. But if you really did do all the physical work then that does suck.

In the states, yes. It's always been my suspicion as well that it had to do with CYA and potentially dropping hurt employees if they ever violated the rule, although I think they would still be liable for the initial cost of treatment. They had huge rolls of these "group carry" stickers that the (salaried) bosses would slap on anything that appeared to be bulky or weighed 30-40 lbs or more. The hourly bosses didn't seem to care at all. If you actually asked for backup every time you needed to mo…

That's really weird and unacceptable that they did nothing about it. Everywhere I have worked has been very strict with respect to harassment, and all except my current employer (fairly small company with all male employees except for one woman) had detailed policies in place. The only thing I can think of that I feel I was kind of discriminated against negatively because I was a man in this way was with what I'll call "group carry" items where I worked.

I do have an idea of why it happens, I'm just kind of curious that it's so obvious even at big, national stores with teams of lawyers and diversity training, etc. That said, if a girl had asked to be placed in the electronics section, I would be shocked if the bosses would have rejected her request. But on the other hand my bosses were the ones who asked whether I would train for the stock room (I said yes because I preferred that position since it had more autonomy, better hours, and far less d…

Oh, I know how that goes. When big items needed to be put onto flats or loaded into customers' vehicles, one of the bosses would always ask, "Eric or Mark [made up example male names], can one of you grab a flat from the back and do a carry out?" Was your boss male or female? What did they do once they got rid of the guy to do the lifting? (I'm assuming you're a guy here.)

We all feel for the boy, but putting an innocent woman through this is unjust. I think most people agree with this. It's just only if it's an innocent man falsely accused by a woman or child because it serves as a lesson to him.

I really like your stuff, and it makes me think. I'm very torn on this issue, however, for the reason that I believe employer's liability for employees (particularly when they didn't have reason to suspect that an employee was a rotten egg) is already too high. However you have a good point that bringing to companies' attention the risks of overreacting to harassment (sexual or otherwise) or enabling false rape claims is a powerful way to achieve equitable anti-harassment treatment for both alle…

Man, if she has a son I hope they take that poor child away from her so he can grow up with self respect, dignity, and an equal chance at life. Also so he can grow up with a father as every boy should! If you're a guy and you didn't have a father or strong male father-figure in your life, I'm not dissing you. I'm just saying that it put you at greater risk of turning to gangs, drugs, and so on, and you're one of the lucky boys who made it.

Probably because the so-called family courts in this country are heavily biased against men, so it's not uncommon for the children to spend only a small portion of their time with their father. The article is an exhortation for men to remain a part of their children's lives despite the fathers' marginalization and victimization.
