Everyone needs to keep in mind that this study is published in an edition of a journal that is meant to be tongue in cheek. There is a study in it that talks about why all the magazines in waiting rooms are all old. I think it's fine to poke fun at the gender's stereotypes, and it's better for us to be fine with it. I don't like over sensitivity to these sorts of things. I do understand the existence of a double-standard, but I prefer to fight it by rejecting the "get offended at everything" sta…

I'm with you on getting the state out of it. I just think there's a fine distinction between the automatic nature of the legal shortcuts that a couple gets when they are married, and other kinds of contracts. The latter can be achieved already, as far as I am aware. You can get lawyers to draft up contracts to share property, etc. For example, this lesbian throuple had lawyers draw up property sharing agreements. Since what is achieved by the legal definition of marriage can be achieved without …

Your distinction between the right to marry and the freedom of association is on the right track, but it doesn't go far enough. The "right" to marry is not even a right to contract. That already exists (and you can manage all kinds of things with a lawyer). The right to marry, in the US at least, is really just access to certain legal shortcuts.

For anyone wanting to find out data for their own university, go to this website. You can search for universities, select a campus, and view a small set of the statistics for them (the ones for Clemson that OP posted are the same on the site). This page will lead you to some links to download all their data in various formats. It's too late in the evening to crunch the total numbers, but I may get around to doing a post on that at some point.

Thanks for the information. I agree about the effect being greater as time passes, which was what I was wanting to demonstrate. Looking back, I read the statement That bias would affect both time periods as That bias would affect both time periods equally The author of the comment may not have meant it that way, but it seemed to be her meaning in the context of trying to discount the 12-month statistics.

See this article for some information to help you out. 12 month data are generally better due to a lack of time passing to hide/rationalize traumatic experiences.

I've heard a hypothesis for men's greater variance based on chromosomes. Women, by virtue of having two X chromosomes, will exhibit behavior closer to the "mean" because those chromosomes may cancel or hide extreme traits (if they are recessive, for example). Men, having only 1 X chromosome, will not get that benefit. It's an interesting thought. Since the mean IQs of men and women are pretty close it could indicate that both genders are sampling from the same underlying distribution. However, w…

Your husband's behavior makes a lot of sense. I think when people get stressed/nervous, they revert back to more "typical" (for lack of a better word) behaviors. For guys, since we're conditioned in many cases to not show concern or affection, we do it by throwing spitballs on the playground at the girl we think is cute. Sounds like he's just throwing spitballs :) It's awesome that you're able to understand that and recognize his love through his actions.

This is the best viewpoint, IMO. It seems to be bad psychology (as well as bad caring for human beings in general) to make blanket statements that something cannot ever be addictive. Also, if sex addiction is a recognized thing, why not porn addiction? That seems hard to distinguish between.

Oftentimes "the patriarchy" or men will be blamed for certain social ills (real or perceived). Women's participation in politics falls in that category. This story illustrates that when the culture is more free/progressive/equal that there isn't necessarily any motion toward women becoming more concerned with or participating more in politics. This therefore provides evidence that patriarchal hypotheses are wrong.

There was a Norwegian documentary, "Brainwash: The Gender Paradox" that might help shed some light on this. In the documentary, the question was asked as to why countries with more progressive equality standards saw women engage more, not less, in "stereotypical" professions. The conclusion reached/hypothesized was that in the progressive countries (which tended to also be wealthier) allowed women more freedom to pursue what they really wanted to do. In poorer countries, survival dictated that y…

The point is really good, but I don't see the problem stemming from the right to be believed. I see it as coming more from the notion that the alleged victim must be believed. In my view of rights, a "right to be believed" simply means that no one can prevent you from being believed by another person (which is sort of an abstract concept anyway..). For example, the right to life isn't a right that forces other people to sustain your life (in general), rather its a right that expresses that no on…

Also, the idea that making a profit off of workers is "oppressive" ignores the fact that being an employer indicates a time preference for money. A worker wants money now, so the employer has them make goods or services and pays them immediately. The employer, however, must wait an uncertain amount of time to sell the product and make money. This is almost exactly like getting a loan. One party wants money right away (the employee), and the other party is willing to give that money right away, w…

It's a pretty typical anti-male article, that has just enough truth smattered in it to seem reasonable. The article creep-shames all men, implies that all men are rapists, and that there is an inexplicably large number of families who don't apparently tell their kids that rape is wrong. None of that matches with reality.

Do all behavioral science studies depend on that theory though? I'm asking out of genuine interest. It seems to me that 'behavioral science' is a broad term, and I can't tell if it's being used as jargon, or just as a more general term. My impression of a 'rational actor' is also that it means that a person pursues ends with chosen means, but that it can't tell you why a person desires certain ends, or ranks means. Is that correct?

The quote wasn't meant to say that the 3% was including just the 3 services they listed. I used that quote to illustrate the magnitude of the abortions performed. If you include all the services planned parenthood performs then yes it is 3% The article defines how that number doesn't mean anything, because it's not representative of the relative magnitudes of services.

It certainly has! In general, it has given the traditional male responsibilities to the state. As most of you are aware, though, it hasn't removed those responsibilities from men. They have just removed the authority (which has been given to the state). It is this disconnect between responsibility and respect/authority that is a source of a great number of difficulties.

This statistic is misleading. See this Slate.com article for an explanation. Basically, by calling it 'services', and by counting small things as 'services', it is made to appear that PP doesn't perform all that many abortions. FTA: "As compared with the nearly 334,000 abortions that Planned Parenthood provided in 2011, 28,674 women received prenatal services. And 2,300 were referred to adoption agencies." That's hardly '3%'.

To add to that, evolution also only works through reproduction, meaning that only traits that exhibit themselves prior to reproduction will have a significant impact. If a person had genetic defects that caused them to die or become ill-suited as a mate before reproduction, that trait would likely start to leave the population. However, menopause has zero impact on the selection of a female in a mating pair. Compound that by considering that reproduction can occur for decades before menopause an…

I'm not trying to say that there aren't degrees of wrongness. My only concern was just a blanket statement about consent and compliance that, depending on how someone defines or views those words, could really cause a lot of unintended offense.

It's using a threat to get sex. Is this really related to what was happening in the video? No, that scenario was different. However, I don't see how you can speak so generally and say that compliance is always consent. If someone showed up at your house, threatened your life if you didn't give them your possessions, and you gave them your possessions, does that mean you consented to that? Of course not. Sure, you said 'yes', and could have said 'no', but the thief in this case actively and willf…

The comments have diverged to talking about atheism, which doesn't seem to be the point here. OP's point, my guess is, is to use this to illustrate that because many feminists will shut down discussion for the reasons displayed in the picture that feminism is a form of shutting down free thought.

That's really not all that controversial. Contraception and abortion create 'consequence-free' sex, purely for pleasure. It removes the procreative aspect from a sexual relationship. This causes people to view each other more as objects, and it creates more chances for single motherhood because contraceptives increase the rate of sexual activity. There is ample evidence of this occurring, with many different theories as to why. The CDC has even shown that increases use/access to contraceptives i…

This is a great question! I would just rephrase the first one to "Should a company offer additional employment opportunities or incentives to groups that are not adequately represented in the company?". The reason is because there is a bias in believing that 'minority' means something under than 'local under-representation'. With the change, both questions are logically the same, the second one providing more specific context in order to illustrate the bias.

It has nothing to do with the law. It has to do with the question of who is in charge of property. If you think that the government can tell you who you must do business with, and what you must charge them, then your view of private property is a very limited one.

I thought the article was supposed to be a sort of back-handed criticism of Ledbetter and the like.

Damn, that is horrible. I'm raging just from reading that. Don't let it get you down, though.

Ha, there it was, right at the start. My mistake. Don't couple already do this, though? I had always thought that in marriage, the goal was supposed to be the family. It doesn't matter whose income it is, it's for the family. Both spouses should work hard! If one works hard and provides money, the other works hard to provide direct care to the offspring. They can share and mix and all that good stuff, but if you start purposefully (and with the force of government) removing the group effort of m…

They never asked the more important question, "where does the money come from?"

Let people hang out with whomever they wish. If they prefer the company of their own gender, so be it. Perhaps organizing a non-company event on company time and email is not the best way to go about things, but it doesn't show a hatred of the other sex or a removal of their rights.

Thank you for posting this. Do you know where his data is? I'd like to see, or at least make, my own charts about this.

Part of the reason you need 2 incomes is inflation. The federal reserve and government spending really spiked in the early 20th century. This coincides with the same time as women's suffrage, but I wouldn't say the two are correlated.

Am I a hypocrite for being a supporter of mens rights when I'm leaving my father, possibly for another continent? I'd say no, because you aren't the court system or anything like that. You're making your own decisions about your life. Your situation is unfortunate, and my heart goes out to you, but it's your future in your hands. I'm sure your dad will understand the need to stay alive. That way you can certainly see him sometime in the future, as opposed to never again!

Haha, no problem. I tend to rant about statistics, because they are so prone to ease of tailoring of results. At the absolute worst, all this report says is that there are generally more women in lower paying jobs, but when the job is the same, the pay is pretty much the same. That seems to be supported elsewhere, too.

Ah, well, there are several reasons. It was a government sponsored survey. Presumably that means that it's trustworthy. While I don't personally make that assumption right off the bat, perhaps feminists (who seek to gain power through government) will have an inherent trust in such a thing. CONSAD has some big name clients. Presumably they would not be selected if they were not trusted. While the report does receive some flak, the rebuttals against said flak appear to make sense. Go to this site…

I haven't even poured through all the little details, but hitting the highlights (the intro and abstract) provides a good summary of the results, and also the factors they left out of the study because they didn't have enough data. Some of those factors include choices based on total compensation (fringe benefits such as health or time off). Considering that the study pulled the gap to within 6% (ish) without accounting for those kinds of choices is also a very powerful statement.

Dude, you gotta have this CONSAD study in your back pocket at all times. The abstract alone is enough to shut up their arguments. Download that bad boy for good. Not that what you said wasn't wrong (it was certainly factually accurate), but more info is always better.

It does get tiring to hear about it, but it's important! Why? Because it can and has been used to enforce regulations such as Title IX that alters the freedom people and institutions have. It's not just sports in universities, but it also impacts funding for research, scholarships, and it imparts regulations and quotas. Accurately tracking a wage gap and WHY it happens is critical in reaching any kind of sanity on this issue.

I agree with you on this. It looks like the data may be from single-parent families. If the single-parent families lean more toward mother only (which I suspect that they do) then the results will have some natural skew. Some normalization to the population size of father or mother only households would be nice.

That's the takeaway it seems to give. If she cheats, it's OK because it's a symbol you messed up. I'm not a big fan of game, but there are times when it makes sense. At least it promotes having self-confidence and not being walked all over.

I thought the main message was about trying to fit to ultra high standards driving people insane. That trying hard to conform to a mold and 'fit in' wasn't without cost.

Way to stick to the facts. Good, concise summary of the obvious truths. Unfortunately, it's painful to change ideologies quickly, and a natural response is to lash back out at what you used to dislike but can no longer find a reason to disagree with. The best thing to do is hold your ground and don't compromise.

That's still law, but yes. Technically it should already exist, since if the kid is not yours, you therefore entered into no actions that made you contractually obligated to take care of the child. That should already fall under basic rule of law about private contracts and enforceability... I hope!

I throw a link to this report out whenever I hear people complain about a 'wage gap'. It should add some good statistically sound ammo to your arsenal.

Let me rephrase, because I can see why 'consent' isn't the right term. When two people consent to sex, they acknowledge that parenthood is a potential result. That's the whole point of sex. Since two people consented, together, to perform an action that could result in a child they are bound by that mutual consent to be responsible for the consequences of their actions. That's more of what I was trying to say. Mutual consent to perform an action designed for reproduction while attempting to avoi…

I'm not referring to what is legally recognized. I'm referring to what should be the case, based on what sex is and what having it could bring about. If the current state is that men cannot legally give up fatherhood, then women certainly should not be able to give up motherhood, since they have engaged in the same activity that bound the man to fatherhood. The options for equality are then both can bail out, or both cannot. I believe that both should not be able to abstain from their responsibi…

Consent to sex is, tacitly, a consent to fatherhood. Similarly, it is tacit consent to motherhood. Since birth control, etc. is not 100%, then by engaging in sexual activity you are, whether you like it or not, opening yourself up to the chance of becoming a parent. While chances may be very small and conditioned on the acts being performed, they do exist, and must be understood. However, extreme cases where the woman 'cheats' birth control or lies (this subreddit has many examples of this occur…
