I'd say the false accusation is far worse than a rape. This sounds like a textbook example of "the grass is always greener on the other side."

You're complaining about your experiences with several acquaintances; this is not the same as a "relationship," be it friend or romance. Bear that in mind. Also, when doing a favor for a friend, generally "thanks" is good enough. There's no reason to expect additional compensation, unless it's a complicated-enough job that it would cause a serious dent in your schedule to help, in which case it would be best to say "sorry, I don't have the time." THEN if they offer, feel free to accept. If you w…

The slogan is "my strength is not for hurting," which is extremely valid. Everyone should live by that, regardless of gender.

I see what you're saying, but sexism is not absolute. Most people would be able to rightly claim that they are not sexist, but the structure of our society contributes to it. Ladies' night, no female high-school football teams (with some exceptions, I assume), the draft, etc. I would argue that sexism is largely perpetuated by people with good intentions, since it slips under the radar. Any MRA will tell you that society is sexist when people will jump to the aid of a woman, yet this is done wit…

That's not true. Sexism is not limited to a small group of people; it's a small issue inside everybody. Most people would be right in saying that they are not sexist, but even they perpetuate it by buying into gender roles. The group of people the OP is talking about are the people who are likely to perpetuate sexism at the upper levels of business and government where it is most easily noticed. That's not patriarchy.

I attribute boys being accused of sexual harassment to a misguided distrust of the exploration of sexuality (happens to girls, too; girls caught masturbating get into more trouble than boys) as well as an almost paranoid obsession with protecting girls. This has little to do with a small group of men that everybody pegs as the bad guys.

The demonizing of male sexuality is responsible for boys being accused of sexual harassment, but I would not attribute that to patriarchy.

"Patriarchy" stems from assumed gender roles, which come from biological differences, which transcend class lines. I myself am not certain if I believe in patriarchy, but you can't pretend that there must be a small group of elite men that perpetuate sexism in society.

You don't need to have a certain level of education to be considered part of the patriarchy. You don't even need to be male. Ask some of the feminists over in TwoX about it. They'd likely be able to give you a more detailed response, but really, "patriarchy" is a lot more abstract and difficult to pen than you're making it out to be.

The fact that most of these workers are men is not deliberately left out in an attempt to secretly kill men. It's left out because it is considered unnecessary, that men are the "default" workers. This is a problem prevalent in the rest of society as well; there are no federal men's health offices, many products are given a different color and labeled as "women's" items (which is never done for men), etc.

Why can't people stay on topic in this subreddit? Seriously, your last sentence is just you being pissed at women. Chill. Men's gender is overlooked in every aspect of life, since it's supposed to be the default; there are humans, and then there are women. This is mostly an extension of that.

About half of those results (if you go through several pages of results) end up being articles about why women are better than men. What the hell.

which is itself pure speculation based on somewhat prejudiced preconception. I don't know about that. Feminists have done a good job at making the world wary of claiming men can do anything better than women, and it's easy to cry sexism when it does happen. It's pretty much taboo now to say that you can't do something "because you're a woman." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't see getting away with that.

This list is incredibly confrontational; it's possible to compile a list of men's issues without needing to add "just like women" to the end of each one. I would replace the first two with support for an office of men's health, or some form of support for men's health issues. 4 is a personal issue; if you meet someone who financially objectifies you, tell them to fuck off. The media portrayal of men is not financial objectification, so this one is a little off the mark otherwise. I disagree with…

Having a child should be like marriage; everyone has to agree to it. I disagree with this statement, since before abortions, an accidental pregnancy always resulted in a baby. And abortion is still not always an option, but in those scenarios it is also easy: both parents must be there for the child. Regardless of how much you wanted it, if circumstances demand that the child be born, the parents have a responsibility to take care of it.

What I'm saying is that you can only blame biology to an extent. I personally don't believe that women being moodier is biological. Everyone gets hormonal mood swings; women just have a physical effect attached to prove it, and are taught to express themselves. When men have mood swings, it generally gets quietly suppressed. On the other hand, if you can muster enough evidence that men making better bosses is a biological trait, I wish you the best of luck arguing that in the political circuit. …

We hear so often that "woman are better than man concerning x". Why can't man be simply better than woman in some things? For example, they claim women are emotionally superior. Which they are not, it is not that simple. I understand what you're getting at, but try not to contradict yourself. Also, I'm hesitant to turn to biology for behavioral explanations when there are a lot of nuture aspects that need to be examined first. Regardless of what our biology tells us, if we keep teaching girls on…

I'm going to make the "this is generalization" comment, which is true; some women make great bosses. I do believe that since girls are taught to think with their heart to a much greater extent than boys, it's difficult to transfer to a situation where others would prefer that you didn't; hence the discrepancy. IMO, the other side of this is that very little emphasis is put on leadership for girls. I went through Boy Scouts and have talked to several girls I know that went through Girl Scouts, an…

Males have more of an urge to rape women than vise versa And this is the point at which you failed. It's not an urge to rape, it's a lack of self-control. Try to be more tactful next time. Rape by anyone to anyone is life shattering. Biology dictates that men are more capable of raping, but if it happens to you, it can be life-shattering regardless of what's between your legs.

The main area in which women have a responsibility to help prevent their own rape can be summed up with "don't be stupid." During all the fun of flirting and teasing, it can be easy to lose track of what you're doing, especially if alcohol is involved. This doesn't really apply for break-and-enter rapes, obviously, but if you see warning signs for any reason, it's your responsibility to recognize and react to them. Personally, I see "strength" as the male version of "beauty." Both can be used ve…

I consider this a step in the right direction; it's targeted at men, but it doesn't claim that women don't have responsibility too. As far as the "all men are potential rapists" part, if they made a similar series of ads targeted at women, then there would be an outcry of "but not all women make stupid decisions!" Both sides screw up, both sides need to acknowledge their mistakes. As far as sexism against men goes, this is pretty far down on the totem pole.

Nowhere was grades or post-graduation job mentioned, and any professor should be able to help with grades and a recommendation if they're any good at their job. I don't see why you need a professor of the same gender to do that.

There is no widespread discrimination against women in college beyond personal sexism. Women make up 60% of the national student body; if anybody's being discriminated against at the college level, it's men. Women's centers have worded their mission statements in order to be as broad as possible, often including men as well (e.g. "Amherst College Women's Center is a place and a resource open to all members of the Amherst College community", source). These centers are running out of discriminatio…

Context is important here. If college enrollment skyrocketed to 90% female but Congress was still made up primarily of white men, then men would be a minority in college and women would be a minority in Congress. You can't define minority status by an external group of people.

"Women's Centers" aren't targeted towards the female faculty. You can argue that the make up of administration is important, but that's a different topic. On a related note, as long as said administration judges applications fairly, I couldn't care less what their race or gender is.

I wouldn't even go as far as to blame it on the patriarchy. Most of the girls I know do know that they can't actually have everything; it's more of an instinctual desire that's hard to get rid of.

I agree that feminism should be about choice, but one of my female friends confirmed that this leads to girls being taught that they can literally have and do everything. Choice is limited; if you're thrown into a sticky situation (such as unwanted pregnancy), you may need to sacrifice choice in order to pull through. Maybe I'm just being technical, but I do believe this is a contributing factor to female entitlement.

I would argue that her statement on how his actions were "degrading to women everywhere" would qualify as being a feminist. "Feminist" is a loose term, ranging from women's rights advocates to misandrists to official supporters of the movement to people who are simply proud to be female. And regardless of how many people consider her to be a real feminist, odds are she's familiar with the feminist movement and sees herself as acting in its best interest.

This sort of thing probably belongs in a different reddit. While your mom is obviously being aggressive, controlling, and hateful, it's a personal story and not one that should be taken as describing women as a whole, which this reddit does enough of. Since you're asking for advice, I would recommend askreddit or even relationship_advice.

There's an aspect to this that the author missed, and that's the globalization of culture shock.

Based on what I read from the article, it wasn't that she failed to keep a child abuser away from her child; she herself was also abusing the kid. She made a poor choice in who she allowed around her child, but she made an even worse choice when she decided to go along with it and even partake in it. The only charge put towards her new husband and not her is the murder charge. So no, it wasn't her negligence that caused it to happen, I would argue that it was her malice. The thing about shared c…

Well, to some extent we should try and break the cycle of continuous poverty, but that's a separate issue and has nothing to do with placing guilt.

I don't agree with the idea of leaving control of pregnancy fully in the hands of the woman, but I do see a point in the argument.

I wouldn't say that masculinity is destructive so much as vague.

Women like tall, strong, confident guys; guys like skinny, well-breasted (I won't say large-breasted, as there is such a thing as too big) and pretty girls.
