So...is she going to stop being a crummy teacher? Seems like she front-loads the article with self-blame, then proceeds to excuse herself in the following paragraphs.

Yes, but (according to the defendant, at least) this act wasn't premeditated. Stupid, yes. Deliberate, no.

Can't say I'm surprised to find not a single piece of good advice. Way to be supportive, MR.

Should we just ignore the fact that it might be practical to have a more diverse police force? Heck, I'm white myself and I don't trust Caucasian P.O.'s. I think the white males of Des Moines have had (and continue to have) every opportunity to join their police force.

Good thoughts here. I feel as though gender studies academia is sometimes put into way too harsh a light - I've experienced both ends of the spectrum (including one really great class) and I must say that it's nice to see that your experience didn't turn you off from the whole idea. I mean, we've all had crappy English classes, but that doesn't mean literature as a whole is pointless/obsolete/etc. I hope that the level-headed side of gender studies wins out over the more misandrist aspects that …

Sweet, way to make sweeping, ignorant generalizations about a group while simultaneously playing the part of gender rights advocate. Well done.

I feel very similarly. I rarely comment because there's so many people who spit out absurd talking points on these subreddits that it can get in the way of any worthwhile discussion.

I can't believe anyone would actually need an explanation for why one would call this "unhinged." If it's not obvious enough already I don't think an explanation will illuminate anything.

How often does this actually happen that you could extrapolate anything about gender differences? This case seemed to set a precedent (in their state, at least).

The story was a bit one-sided. The only mention of his defense claimed that she was heckling him. Meanwhile, on the prosecution's side, she and her partner were just ordering drinks. How could the author not address this inconsistency? This is a deal-breaker for me; if you heckle a comedian you ought to be waving your rights to be verbally traumatized. I'm all about shaking my fist at this guy for what he said (if what he said was really as offensive as the article suggests), but by no means sho…

Indeed. This here is a story about oversensitivity, which transcends gender politics.

Yes, especially since that kind of scapegoating presupposes that one group seeks to willingly dominate the other. The reality is that it was an entirely communal effort to get gender relations as messed up as they are now.

I really liked this: "But the flipside of the stereotype is that men and boys aren't supposed to feel pain — at least not if it's inflicted by women." This article does a fine job at pointing out the dangers of both misandry and misogyny, and how both affect society and the law. This gives the argument a strong balance while avoiding the finger-pointing of much feminist/mra debate.

You're right, although now we're comparing jokes about men being dogs with jokes about sexual violence. I guess the point I was trying to make is that over-the-top misogyny/misandry is never really funny. To be perfectly honest, I could do without the small stuff too, the whole idea of women as catty and men as brutes. It's all rather harmful and does nothing but limit human potential.
/r/MensRights02/12/09 06:37 PM

I don't even get what's so funny about a guy beating his wife. Some comments here have talked about how women need to learn how to take a joke. Yet these same commenters (mostly men, I'll assume) tend to get really sensitive when people make fun of men (take, for example, the BBC show about training men as dogs). Sexism simply isn't funny. Anyone who's laughing is likely incredibly insecure about their own masculinity/femininity.

It's interesting that the commenters for the post understand the value of the work (mainly, as cautionary against that kind of writing) more than Goldman. I can't believe she said she was a "fan" of Solarna. I hope that was some kind of sick joke. The rest of her post seems to mirror the ideas in the comments.

And how does the author not explain the "14 years of...trauma" line? How long ago did this happen? And if she wasn't raped, how was it traumatic? Maybe someone else raped her and she mistook him for this guy? What a shoddy article.

Who are you trying to silence? You, mostly. The "rights" of "men" have not been intruded upon here. Relevance is one of the most important factors in what makes a good post on this site. There's no need to get so defensive when someone questions the relevance of a post to this sub-reddit. Posts like this one, having almost nothing to do with the topic of the sub-reddit, are the reason you so often see the question "How is this a MR story?"

I guess the one thing about this article that bothers me is the implication that the ancient, non-"wimpy" state of manhood was somehow better than our modern society. It's a silly value judgment. I'll admit, I'm impressed that Roman warriors could walk however many marathons in a day. But I can drive that distance without breaking a sweat. Also, I don't have to die if I get syphilis. Sounds like a lot of macho posturing to me.

I hadn't realized there was a precedent for this. I hope more rulings reflect this one. I wish I knew more about this story. I wonder if there were any other motivating factors for why she would adopt out her baby.

The article seems a bit vague to be making any assumptions on the manner of sentencing. I feel as if the article implied that his sentence was harsher because he was the one who "trained" her. I certainly *hope there's a good reason. Either way, the sentencing is light on both accounts; the two of them should be locked up for life. EDIT: word choice

I upvote everyone here that I have cordial discussion/debate with, thanks. I'm glad for that, I wish everyone did the same. When I mentioned equality I was in fact discussing equal rights. I agree that men and women are different, and have no desire to change that. When I criticized these subreddits, I was talking more about comments than posts. I think most of what's posted in MR is great. Same for /feminisms. It's the comment section (where the rest of us throw our opinions into the gauntlet) …

What I should have said: "This is further proof that both subreddits are full of people fighting against each other despite the fact that they ought to have the same goal (equal rights for genders)." I really can't say what the feminist movement has done for men since we're still in the middle of it, although in my opinion I'm glad we no longer live in a world where women are considered second-class citizens (see: post-script). My biggest criticism of modern feminism is that, as you mentioned, i…

The first citation (the 1in6 study) is very well-written, thank you for posting the link. The "Words of Caution" section should be perma-posted to the top of /MensRights and /feminisms. "Any experts who claim to be without bias are fooling themselves or trying to fool you." So true.

I also hope MR becomes more mainstream. As a man (and, hell, as a human being) I have a vested interest in many of the issues discussed in the movement. However my fear (which is not unfounded) is that many people involved in MR (especially on this website, which I understand does not represent all people involved in the movement) are making the same mistake as early (and many modern) feminists. For every article/editorial I read about some woman who feels all men should be castrated, there's al…

Best part of this whole situation: The conversation in that thread surrounds the idea the /Ladybashing is nothing but a down-mod squad. And yet this post seems to suggest (without saying out loud) that we all down-vote that post and its supportive comments. This is further proof that both subreddits are full of people fighting against each other despite having the same goal (equal rights for genders). /MensRights and /feminisms and the like are all failures because their members are far too tunn…

Hopefully these numbers in part reflect a growing acceptance of men being able to admit to being domestically abused. Perhaps the notion that women can be as violent as men is finally gaining steam? The existence of this article itself is certainly proof that at least some corners of the media are willing to express this highly controversial opinion.

I see that. Personally, I don't think either the accused nor the defendant should have to reveal that information. Your logic does hold true. The comment you first responded to was more than a little confusing, so it was hard to tell where you were coming from.

That's not really presentable evidence in court. Starting a rumor about someone and falsely accusing them (in the justice system) of a crime are two very different acts. Besides, in the MR subreddit it would be rather short-sighted to give credence to that kind of he-said she-said "evidence."

I understand where you're coming from, but consider this: If you and a group of four friends (all average size, let's assume) were pitted against an NBA team for a pickup game, wouldn't you want some kind of handicap? All the ball-handling skills in the world aren't going to make it any easier to get a shot off over someone a foot taller than you. Am I saying that you can't succeed without being a giant? No, we've got plenty examples otherwise. However if you have two teams of players with simil…

Forget ineptitude, it's a matter of the differences in the physical structure of a man and a woman. I could say that "men suck at giving birth" without making an implication analogous to "women are more emotional." It's simply just not a matter of opinion.
/r/MensRights10/09/09 10:53 PM

Agreed. It would be infinitely more effective (and pr-friendly) to promote stories of men acting well, in order to counteract the idea that men are intrinsically evil.

In fact, it is often during a period of dealing with pain that we become oblivious to the pain we inflict on others. I thought that was very poignant. I think a lot of what comes off as misogyny (whether it is or isn't I'll leave up for debate) may be a knee-jerk reaction to decades of similar-sounding misandry that has come out of the fringes of feminism. Every time I see something that comes off as women-hating bile on this subreddit I'm reminded of my disappointment with women who are quick t…

A theory I'm not sure about: While this issue may seem provoked by feminism, I think we should take a deeper look at the possibilities of how female-anatomy-related curse words became so reviled. While many have explored the possibility of feminine sensitivity or feminist backlash, there has yet to be mentioned the possibility that this is a society-driven (not wholly male or female) condition.

Yeah, my bullshit alarm went of the moment I saw the words "revisionist history." Whenever I hear/see someone use that phrase on this site it reminds me of how "9/11" became for Republicans the be all and end all to any political/ethical conversations.

Could you clarify? Are you talking about the double standard that it's ok to look through a man's sexual history but not that of a woman?

True, especially since number of partners (and this is the important part) has nothing to do with the crime involved.

Oh yeah, they're much different games. For argument's sake, though, Aussie Rules fulfills the same role in Australia as the NFL does in America. They're both rugby-based, high-violence sports that involve an oblong ball. The multiple uprights are cool though.

Here is my comment to her article. I tried where possible to avoid a harsh tone, if she allows my comment (doubtful) the rest of you should try to tone down your remarks: The myriad threats of violence and absurdly broad generalizations make this piece sound like it could have been written by a man promoting clitoral mutilation.

That's exactly what I was thinking. You can sexualize any action. Her example was completely absurd. If anything, as George Carlin has deftly pointed out, football is more a metaphor for trench warfare than anything else.

Seems like a really dumb semantics argument. No one said that he wasn't falsely accused of rape. Or that a false rape claim was never made. The issue is with saying that she falsely accused him which implies a certain maliciousness. At least, that's how I see it, I'm not too sure if I'm speaking for or against rickmick.

An interesting point: "Regarding injury, men were more likely to inflict injury than were women (AOR=1.3; 95% CI=1.1, 1.5)" This would seem to run counter to the increasingly popular opinion that women may be as domestically violent as men.

I don't think this is a matter of the court taking her word over his, for reasons gender-based or otherwise. More likely, the defendant was seen as trying do whatever he could to avoid incarceration. Furthermore, since she didn't know the accused, she wouldn't have any motive for falsely accusing him. I agree with you though that the article did not focus so much on the tragedy of the man's false imprisonment. However I think that, rather than trying to deny that fact, the writer of the article …

From Webster's online dictionary: lie - to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive In this situation, the victim was not lying. Although she was mistaken in identifying the attacker she had no intent (and no reason) to damage the falsely accused. While it is a sad situation to lose 10 years of his life, this was clearly an accident. If anyone is to be blamed it is the court for accepting an eyewitness account from such a traumatic event.
/r/MensRights03/09/09 01:34 AM

It is pretty shocking. It really rather confirms the fallacy of eyewitness accounts. I guess it was more of a false identification than a false claim.
