| 3 | IAmA: Policy Debate coach in East Texas who wants to write a debate case on Male DisposibilityI'm not going to keep re-hashing my points- I feel that my responses above answer your questions and claims here. You keep rephrasing your points, so I feel most of what I've said is responsive. I'll leave you with this. There is a difference between the world we want and the world that exists. | /r/MensRights | 04/09/13 05:36 PM |
| 5 | IAmA: Policy Debate coach in East Texas who wants to write a debate case on Male DisposibilityLook, I appreciate you trying to engage with me, I do, but you're ignoring a lot of my arguments. That whole analogy is important, because it reflects how we view sexism. When its subtle, we ignore it. And I'm sorry, but no, the problem isn't as absolute and cut and dry and you make it it. Patriarchy doesn't require active privileging of males and male views-excluding other views is also patriarchal, even if it isn't intentional. Men often, but not always, will favor men and masculine views. Men… | /r/MensRights | 04/09/13 04:55 PM |
| 5 | IAmA: Policy Debate coach in East Texas who wants to write a debate case on Male DisposibilitySo imagine that you are trying to boil a frog alive. (I don't know why you're trying to, maybe a frog killed your parents.) You have two ways of doing this. You can bring the water to a boil, and then, once its nice and hot, drop the frog in. The problem is, the frog will immediately jump out. However, if you put the frog in, and slowly bring it to a boil, you will have a nicely boiled frog before too long. So, the point of this analogy? Sexism works the same way, when we debaters confront it. F… | /r/MensRights | 04/09/13 04:27 PM |
| 7 | IAmA: Policy Debate coach in East Texas who wants to write a debate case on Male DisposibilityNow you are just assuming motivations. I'm sure there are plenty of women who would do these jobs. I've met quite a few myself who would be willing to do these jobs when I used to work in a factory. (By the way, this isn't indicative of anything larger, and I will make no wider truth claim, but it should be noted that the women where I worked were forced to take a more dangerous, hotter, and dirtier job because they "couldn't handle" the less dangerous, less uncomfortable, but more physically in… | /r/MensRights | 04/09/13 04:16 PM |
| 5 | IAmA: Policy Debate coach in East Texas who wants to write a debate case on Male DisposibilityMales dominate debate, debate discussion, participation and coaching. Also, most believe that we should have more women in debate. Most debaters, however, have strong backgrounds in feminist literature and will reject MRA arguments out of hand. There is definitely a conflict within debate, between how we see ourselves and what we want to be versus what we are and how we act. Patriarchy definitely exists in debate, it is just more subtle. Frankly, this kind of argument is so blunt and has so many… | /r/MensRights | 04/09/13 04:05 PM |
| 3 | IAmA: Policy Debate coach in East Texas who wants to write a debate case on Male DisposibilityYou're missing the point. I am a man. I'm not demonizing men at all. Lets take a look at what you are claiming. Why do men have the majority of workplace deaths? That is because dangerous, life-threatening jobs are mostly held by men. Why is that? Because of our definitions of what is an "acceptable" job for a man and what an "acceptable" job for a woman are different, and so men take these jobs because women are told they can't, and men are told they must. Understanding gender roles, sexism and… | /r/MensRights | 04/09/13 03:52 PM |
| -20 | IAmA: Policy Debate coach in East Texas who wants to write a debate case on Male DisposibilityAs an assistant debate coach, and former high school and college debater, I worry about both you and your kids in the upcoming year, for several reasons: 1.) Even if we ignore the truth claims of this affirmative, your efficacy with the type of judges you hope to run and win this case in front of will be low. Assuming you avoid less experienced, "community" judges, (and you would have to with this aff), you will be debating in front of mostly collegiate judges. You will be drawing from schools l… | /r/MensRights | 03/09/13 07:24 PM |
