I agree with your sentiment, but the context is very different. I think fifty-sixty years ago, this would be seen as uncomfortable, but pleasant.

Okay, this is totally not necessarily related or anything, but I just remember that I lost one of my baby dolls when I was younger. I have absolutely no memory of how (I vaguely remember it floating away on a balloon, but that's ridiculous obviously). I made my parents get another one, but I eventually lost that one too, with actually zero recollection of how. I don't think they just took it away one night... but maybe? On a possibly related note, I'm presently obsessed with babies and I might b…

Your point is not bad, but it isn't really good, either. Awareness would be "Women, you are at risk for heart attack. Get checked by..." Awareness is not "Wear red to support women who are fighting heart disease."

It's not a bad thing, for sure. I don't want women to die, obviously, by any cause. What I do see, however, is a cause being championed as "for women", when the problem primarily victimizes men. As for the cause itself, it may mention that women have slightly different symptoms, sometimes, but that isn't a good reason to have an entire cause directed towards a minority of victims. And the cause is very clearly not exactly geared towards the differences in genders. It's just saying "We don't want…

I would agree with you, and that's interesting, but looking at the actual page, it mentions very little about being aware of symptoms and more about curing heart disease (with an emphasis on women). more here

Hey, let's ignore the following facts: Heart disease is a much bigger problem for men than it is for women. Heart disease is roughly the same as it is for men and women so Heart disease is not cured or treated, nor does it have any different symptoms, in men or women. and parade our campaign for women's health.

This is true as well. The problem is also actually very much physiological. Boys' hearing develops slower than girls', such that boys in elementary school hear a fraction of the amplitude that girls do. This results in girls getting pissed off at small things like foot tapping, boys being louder, and boys sitting in the back so they can barely hear the teacher at all so they can talk or focus on something else. A lot of experienced teachers have noticed this and make boys sit in the front and gi…

I don't disagree with you. Sometimes it's hard to differentiate between what is genuinely known to biology, and what is conventional sexism. In this particular case, it is known biologically that testosterone, the hormone, tends to cause a person to be angrier or more aggressive (as well as build more muscle mass and a slew of other side affects). It is not sexist to say that testosterone has these effects. However, rather than talking about theory (testosterone->anger->domestic abuse = men abus…

she could be charged with "sexual violation" which carries the same sentence as rape. Out of curiosity, does that mean that any sexual act with an unwilling partner is considered as bad as rape? For example, if person A forcefully masturbates person B, is that considered as bad as person A forcefully having sex with person B?

I agree with you. To say this is a men's rights issue is a big stretch. Just because one woman does something bad towards one (or, in this case, a few) men does not imply a societal problem. The societal problem that should be focused upon (which many comments do) is that she attempted assassination of multiple public officials and was sentenced to a maximum of ten years in prison, which is, of course, a ludicrously disproportionate amount of time to be sentenced.

This isn't entirely true, and it's part of the reason rape is so common. I agree with your sentiment, in that this isn't the proper way to stop it, but many rapists are unaware that they are committing rape. It's a bad idea to say that all rapists are unreasonable people, because it helps people justify what they're doing as "not rape" because it isn't entirely unreasonable.

To be fair, this isn't strictly a men's rights issue, because a woman having sex with an underaged boy is also technically illegal. But I've never seen an instance where an 18 year old woman had sex with a 15 year old boy and was imprisoned or put on a sex offender registry.

What you're suggesting is an enforced inequality. Essentially, give up some rights for other rights. What I'm suggesting is equality. I have no problem if you want to complain about women avoiding dangerous fields. I, too, have a problem with this. But, given that women are not in dangerous fields, we are tasked with the issue of "Should more women be in programming?" My answer is "Yes." This is completely independent of whether women are involved in dangerous fields. If the question is, "Should…

Yup, and the inventor of the compiler, Grace Hopper. Fun little tidbit: Hopper was classically sexist in some interesting ways (this was the '50s, I believe). She actually believed that programming would be best for women because (again, her opinions) programs are like recipes and women enjoy cooking.

I agree with you. I think engineering on the whole is actually very welcoming to women. The problem is that (in my experience), when men see an event that's 80% women, they might even want to go more. When women see an event that's 20% women, they think twice. I'm not sure why it is, and it bugs me, but I think the point of PyLadies is not to say "We should be offering more incentives" but "How can we get our friends who would like computer science to at least try it?"
/r/MensRights30/03/13 06:57 PM

That may be, but the choice shouldn't be made because the current culture of the field doesn't appeal to her gender. The choice should be made because she actually prefers the practice and study of something else over computer science.

Why, exactly, is women lacking interest in something a problem? Because women aren't conforming to your moral narrative? I explained this already. Programming is one of the most useful aspects to society, and any person that isn't programming is not contributing to it. If it were simply a lack of interest, that wouldn't be a problem, but it would seem as though the reason people don't get into it is because of their gender, which is a problem.
/r/MensRights30/03/13 06:13 PM

It implies that there is a section of the population that is not programming that would otherwise be programming if not for gender. We could say that programming is an inherently male thing, in which case that statistic would be okay, but it's hard to actually say that. It's not that there are women who aren't participating; it's that there is a very large section of the population of would-be programmers that are not programmers.

There is a problem, and it kind of needs addressing. I've seen the statistic that 80% of PyCon is male, and that's... not good. I mean, it's not the worst thing ever, obviously, but it could be better. One of the problems with this is that women are less likely to go to an event with 80% men, not because they're afraid or anything, but because they automatically assume it will be less interesting to them. The PyLadies event might be trying to combat this by considering ways to even out the field…

They view the fact that they're nice to be good enough for any woman to date them. They actually treat women as though they're machines (insert niceness, receive romance).

For a long time, Reddit and 4chan (and other, similar social media aggregates) have portrayed the "nice guy" as the guy who is nice to a woman and then women start dating assholes (who are often "not nice" but also aren't typically depicted as rich or anything).

There's a pretty good book about this called Why Gender Matters. A lot of people like to complain about the various stereotypes of genders in high school, and I went to a high school that had really big gender distinction in terms of personality.

/r/MensRights04/01/13 02:50 AM

Agreed. However, this dynamic does not deconstruct the power that women hold innately in sex. It merely diverts it to a different form of power. That is to say, rapists would no longer have to trade physical/emotional power for sex. They could merely trade fiscal power for sex. This makes things better for the people they're having sex with (to the extent that it is consensual), but it doesn't really help to fix the sex = power issue for men.

To some extent, I agree while, to some extent, I disagree. Yes, if sex were more free flowing, we would have more incidents. However, I've always found the practice of prostitution to be innately sexist. The idea is that, when two people have sex, the man owes the woman money for it. It's not mutually beneficial; it's a service provided by women.

One of my biggest problems with the movement is that women fought very harshly against the '50s gender stereotypes, but the stereotype for men is still there and the same.

I agree with what you're saying, but sometimes ethos can matter way more than logos.

It's a broader action taken in a good place. Advertisers aren't just going to stop advertising at these web tabloid places, but, yeah, eventually, they would probably stop advertising at these web tabloid places if everyone used AdBlock.

I think that's one of the biggest problems with feminism. Feminism sees violence against women and assumes that society commends it. It sees violence against men and assumes that society condemns it [more than it condemns violence against women, that is]. They paint sex lines like a warzone that women haven't participated in, which is why they're losing, which of course breeds the beliefs that sex is a warzone that women are losing.

I think the point is that they didn't have sex in the first place.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect the lifestyle changes would negatively affect women, but I'm also fairly certain there's a (more important) biological advantage.

Let's phrase this another way. If female circumcision of equivalent consequence were legal and commonly practiced, would male circumcision be a men's rights issue, or just a human rights issue?

Have you even thought about the issue before? Lol There are sexist laws in most of the developed world that protect only female infants from genital mutilation while this protection is deny to boys based solely on their sex. THAT I agree is a men's rights issue. The fact that the legality differs for the same thing between the genders is bad, and I agree with that. However, all I care about is that they're equal, not which way they are. And no, in case you're wondering, I really, really don't wa…

Seriously, I love almost every part of this subreddit except this one. I don't see the legality of male circumcision itself as a men's rights issue. We need a support group for men who actually prefer that they were circumcised as babies.

I've noticed with a lot of women, if they can't win an argument, they try to sabotage the argument. It annoys me because it's true with people I'm in love with, like my girlfriend and my mom. I understand sometimes it's hard to change your viewpoint, but you don't have to literally cry about it.

There are two flavors of masculism, and there are two flavors of feminism. One of these is generally looking for equality, and the other is seeking a gender hierarchy. There are definitely legitimate parts of feminism that avoid the gender hierarchy and that genuinely look for places in society that women are treated worse (if you don't see that there are places in society where women are treated worse, I don't know what to tell you). There are also sects of feminism that see women as better. Th…

To start, I like this post. I just wish we didn't always pit masculism and feminism against each other. Can't these have just started off as "I need masculism because" and not been overly negative? I understand that oftentimes feminism can seem exclusionary with masculism, but it's really dumb to attack each other like this.

I don't think fighting fire with fire will work in this case, to be honest. I understand using this as a direct retaliation to mundane feminism, but it's not really a point to say "Hey, look how society hates us." Like if someone showed me an example of a poll that did this kind of discrimination against women, I'd respond with this poll, but I'm not going to pick a fight over this one.

Neither of these are subjective opinions. Genital mutilation is extremely painful and it does degrade genital function. Would you like to see some papers on the subject? There are papers that show that it decreases sensitivity, and there are papers that show that it decreases likelihood of STD contraction, so I guess it depends on what you consider "degrading genital function". As for being "subjective opinions", I think that's a load of baloney. The fact that there are negatives is unrefuted. T…

I wasn't. I've mentioned many types of genital mutilation so far. So for all intent and purposes you are advocating for the legalization of FGM. Should it stop there? According to you, it is acceptable for parents to remove all of their daughters' external genitals; is it also acceptable for parents to do the same to their sons? Say, if they wanted to cut off a testicle? This is unspeakable suffering and life-long disfigurement being inflicted on children we're talking about here This is what I'…

No it's not but FGM and MGM are equally terrible when compared to each other along the same spectrum. Sure, but don't pick the worst kinds of FGM and compare it to circumcision as it's currently practiced. So what are the benefits of torturing and disfiguring infants that make it defending? As my very first comment in this discussion said, I couldn't tell you. It's not really something that I can articulate or explain. It's not something I understand. I prefer it. It makes me feel connected to m…

Actually, we're talking about genital mutilation, period. Male circumcision, in this case the amputation of the foreskin is often the frenulum, is just one particular type of genital mutilation along the same spectrum. So all genital mutilation is equally terrible? That's a pretty bad standpoint to take. If you're telling me I don't like sex, then boy do I have news for you. If you're telling me I don't like sex as much as I would if I had my foreskin, that may be a valid point, but it's quite a…

First of all, female circumcision is already illegal in most of the developed world while male circumcision remains legal. So for all intent and purposes you are advocating for the legalization of FGM. Should it stop there? According to you, it is acceptable for parents to remove all of their daughters' external genitals; is it also acceptable for parents to do the same to their sons? Say, if they wanted to cut off a testicle? You're taking it to an extreme. We're just talking about male circumc…

You have still not provided an answer. Yeah I did. If this is true (I haven't done enough research), then it's probably for the same reason. I told you a million times; I don't think it's a rational position. But not every position has to be rational. If you abstract far enough, nothing is rational. Everything is a bit subjective. it is a parallel situation but not one that you are personally invested in This is precisely why I don't feel the need to add in laws that prohibit it. If it were curr…

I gave you an answer, or rather I tried to lead you see it for yourself. No, you tried to change my opinion. Completely different thing. Your logic, therefore, doesn't really seem much different than the logic of anti-gay protestors. Certainly better, but not much different in logic (I suppose you could say the vector is in a similar direction, but to a lesser magnitude). You believe that you know better than other people on how to handle their own family life, and you'd like to enforce your mor…

is that whether people are happy with what has been done to them or not is not relevant to the morality of the act What makes you think you're better at deciding what is moral than the people who have had it done to them?

Anything can be made to seem morally objectionable depending on how you state it. Literally all of parenting can seem like bad parenting depending on how you decide to be a parent. If you think you were raised correctly, and you are happy, I believe your opinion on the way you were raised as proper parenting is as valid as any other opinion. Therefore, unless there's a situation where a person does not believe they were raised properly, or where they were not happy when they grew up, or if the p…

If this is true (I haven't done enough research), then it's probably for the same reason. And I don't mind it. If they don't think it's a problem, I have no problem with them doing it to their own children.

You know, I keep seeing this question, as someone who is glad he was circumcised. I'm not sure why I feel the need to answer it, but it bothers me that I can't answer it logically. I'm sorry. I can't explain it. I am glad that it happened. I can't compare the two experiences because I've only ever had one. I can't say girls find it more attractive, because I don't know. I feel somewhat connected to my tradition, and a hell of a lot of the Jewish tradition doesn't make sense, but all of a sudden …
