Is that really all they have on their criteria for supporting our ideas, whether or not we subscribe to the feminist ideology or not? That's all any ideology cares about: spreading the ideology.

This should be a regular thing. Perhaps like one promoted comment each week? This sub pops up on r/all from time to time and gets mentioned from passing quite a bit on reddit (usually in a negative light). One thing I've noticed is that some people are curious enough to actually investigate whether or not that claims of rampant misogyny in this sub is factual or not, and this can become a great source of spreading awareness to those types of people. It is simply too easy for somebody to come alo…

As much as I support people writing about men's issues during their education, I'm not a fan of these types of posts. It seems much too much like you're trying to have other people do your homework and research for you. The ability to conduct research and come to your own conclusions (instead of relying on a hivemind to give them to you) is incredibly important for an individual to have. Here's the basic outline so far: ... Where's the evidence? Any research? You can't simply make stuff up and h…

"Without adequate refuge provision, women experiencing domestic violence will be faced with a stark choice: flee to live rough on the streets or remain with their abuser and risk further violence or even worse..." Huh, so basically they're being treated just like men. Funny how when you treat women like men, people can easily recognize how awful it is. Local authorities are not obliged to put domestic violence services out to tender, but many are doing so increasingly in response to pressure on …

I'm not sure if I follow that logic-could you elaborate a lil' more? Everything is misogyny. Remember, anything bad that happens should only by analyzed by how it treats women and girls worse. So, the draft is sexist because it is only forced upon one gender. But the real truth is that it is sexist against women, because it says that they're too weak to participate in war and to defend the country.

I'm not going to comment on the rape aspect of this article, there is some other point I want to examine: Some of these men discover they are fathers only when the state targets them for child support, as single mothers must identify them to qualify for government assistance. This prompts some to file a lawsuit of their own. “They just say: ‘If I’m going to pay for it, I’m going to see it’ Well no shit. If you expect a man to pay child support, why shouldn't he be able to see his children?

I actually use that term all the time The thing I've noticed about people who use the term 'toxic masculinity' is that they would never even think of using the term 'toxic femininity.' It really shows a person's true colors in how they want to demonize one gender, and preserve the holiness of the other gender.

It's manipulation and it's disrespectful. It depends on what you mean by manipulation. I find people are too quick in throwing that word out and using it as a thought terminating cliche. If I buy my wife flowers or something because I want to spend some of our shared money on something I want, is that really so bad? Sure, you can call his manipulation or bribery, but I see nothing morally wrong with it. People aren't so weak willed that they'll just do whatever others want them to do.

Indeed, violence escalation is a very dangerous thing. Sometimes (most of the times) it is best to just remove oneself from a dangerous situation. This is why the focus should be on getting people the help they need if they are involved in relationships that can become violent (especially since roughly half of these types of relationships are mutually violent). Instead, the focus is on the old men=violent women=victim stereotype, and on telling the man that he's evil. I'm not sure telling somebo…

The White House and the rest of the federal government have been pushing for schools to hold these trials for sexual assault. The reason is so politicians can look like they're doing something against the War on Women, and so they can make sure they get the female vote.

This is actually a fair point. [regarding the 'real women have curves' statement' The problem with this is that the feminist movement are the ones responsible for brainwashing people with that slogan.

While I agree that it is rare (as are most terrible things) I still think it's sound advice to keep an eye on one's drink. It requires very little effort and it could pay off. However, you are correct in that the focus needs to be on the drinking and alcohol culture. That is the area where the most good can be done. Too bad a certain ideology keeps making it harder to help people by insisting on focusing on rape culture.

Seems like the typical feminist tactic of wanting to keep rape as the most evil act an individual could ever do, all while expanding the definition of rape to include much worse offenses. They're just talking out of both sides of their mouths. One side says rape is the terrible, and the other side expands the definition to lesser crimes.

I have never seen this applied to women even when they kick a man's ass. Yes, we can certainly discuss and ponder the whole "what would happen if the genders were reversed scenario." But each person must be consistent with their opinion and not apply it hypocritically. When it comes to violence (even in self-defense) I would rather the first approach be de-escalation. Basically, it is better to avoid a violent situation and walk away, rather than try and fight somebody. With Ray Rice... he's a s…

The difference between “rape” and “being made to penetrate” is that in the definition of rape the victim is penetrated; “made to penetrate” by definition refers to cases where the victim penetrated someone else.

Saw this comic on TrollXchromosomes the other day. The answer is, "because the continued disenfranchisement of women needs to be addressed specifically." It has a pretty good twist ending too. Anyways, the interesting thing is that feminists change the definition to whatever they want it to be. If they don't want men to have their own movement, feminism is for everybody and they aren't allowed to. If they don't want men to hold opinions or have their needs adressed, feminism is just for women.

Is there really a purpose in arguing about different levels of rape? I think battles should be picked wisely, and I'm not sure this point really matters that much in the larger scheme of things.

I recently asked a young lady (maybe 19?) if she played any sports growing up. She said she wanted to, but wasn't allowed to. There still exists the gender role that young girls shouldn't play sports. This, I believe, is harmful to them. There are a lot of good lessons for life to be learned from sports that they are missing out on. Sports teach people how to compete against one another, but also when it's appropriate to work together. Sports helps build confidence. Teach a person good work ethi…

From what I understand, which is little, it's very difficult to prove discrimination using Title IX if you're arguing that it harms men.

For example, after consensual drunken sex women are more likely to be told by others that they were actually raped. Where men are more likely to be high-fived. Because of these …

No, any law on the matter should go both ways. And it will. Nobody's going to pass a law which only protects women from revenge porn. Like that one time American politicians passed a law that only protected women from domestic violence? That never happened? Besides I feel OP made the point in his first comment where he states that it's interesting that the debate is being dictated by the old stereotype that men are evil and women are always the victim.

So the complaint here is that CAFE allowed one of scheduled lectures get cancelled because of some bullies and that they don't want radicals in feminism or the MRM? If CAFE is deliberately trying to distance itself from AVoiceForMen.com then that is something we can talk about, but this article didn't really convince me that CAFE really needs to change the menu.

Misleading title. The social worker estimates that 75% of the people that come to get help are male. But this one individual's clients are about 85% female. The titles implies that 75% of juveniles in the local court system are male, but women are primarily getting help, which is not the case.

The male mentors is great, but the program goes too far with the "women are perfect, and saying harmless jokes about them is literally violence."

You can't complain about society seeing women as weak victims and then exploit the tendency to see women as victims in need of saving to further your agenda. I believe it was Warren Farrell who said, "The greatest strength of women is their facade of weakness, and the greatest weakness of men is their facade of strength."

Woman have rights men have responsibilities. In 1971 the voting age in the US was lowered from 21 to 18. The reason was because young men were dying in Vietnam, and people thought they should have a say in whether or not they go to war. Men had to die so other men could vote. Women just got those rights because they're human. Men are below women and must first earn rights by being useful to society.
