I've a friend who was assaulted by his GF. He had loads of evidence. Multiple witnesses (inc 2 police), bruises and scratches, he called the cops so there was that call, plus previous history. She accused him of assault because he held her by her wrists to try stop her, leaving minor marks. He wanted to drop it and just leave, the police who attended persuaded him to file a complaint as, if she does and he doesn't, it's more likely to go against him. They both filed, guess which case was pursued…

There is a kind of points system when deciding where you are on the transplant list. Cause, patient behaviours, general health, age: things like that are all taken into account. Whether you are on the donor list should be on that list and be weighted very highly.

To hear people talk you'd think men were voting for many generations before women got the vote. In the UK it was men of means only who could vote (with some boroughs only having a single person eligible to vote, known as rotten boroughs). Then after WW1 it was rolled out to all men and women of means. Then a decade later it became universal suffrage.

It gets pegged as insecurity but it's not necessarily so. For some people love and sex are interlinked and they have no interest in being with someone who can easily divorce the two. Both viewpoints are valid but they aren't always compatible.

Saw results of an empathy study recently and it found both sexes scored pretty high with regards to empathy to their own gender, with women scoring higher. However, with regards to the opposite gender men showed slightly lesser empathy towards women than orher men, but women showed a massive drop with many almost no empathy whatsoever.
/r/MensRights09/05/26 08:36 PM

Multiple studies have backed this up as well. Basically each genders empathy scores are fairly high when it comes to their own gender, with, iirc, women marginally beating men on that score. However the illuminating element is cross-gender empathy. Men way outscore women on that metric. Men show lesser empathy with women than with men, but do try and are somewhat successful. Whereas in recent studies (post social media) women barely attempt empathy with regards to men. So in the overall empathy …

Men got the vote just before women so the women couldn't vote 100 years ago point is disingenuous. Prior to that it was men of means who could vote, ie a small proportion of men (with some areas controlled by a single voter as the only eligible person). This narrative of men being able to vote generations before women could is just false. It was this being rolled out to all men that kick started the universal suffrage movements and the vote for all followed shortly after votes for all men. In th…

Google, the name, is based on the word googol not a copy of it therefore not a misspelling. And the links were found via Google, not produced by them, so your point holds no water whatsoever.

So it is a bit disingenuous to say infanticide when it should in fact be neonaticide. When it comes to infanticide the rates are about equal. However men do get worse sentences for it (as they do all crimes).

Same crimes, significantly lower chance of conviction and significantly lower penalty when convicted (and it's not even close). I obviously was talking privilege when in front of the court not numbers who end up there, so numbers of crimes is irrelevant. And where did I blame women for women being put on a pedestal by society. I was countering your position of men having societal privilege.

Privilege is contextual though. While there are times when men are privileged there are many times women are also. Get in front of any flavour of court and your privilege becomes obvious, for example. Not sure what you mean by men are privileged with regards to social standing given society doesn't give two shits about men yet put women on a pedestal continuously.

In almost every single false allegation there will be a mixture of people in their circle, people who believe them, those who believe the accuser and those undecided. Almost every single one. It's certainly been the case in every one I've personally known about.

Women don't kill men in the same numbers, it's true (does happen though). But women do drive men to killing themselves in much larger numbers than the opposite. A large part of the disparity in suicide numbers.
/r/MensRights13/01/26 03:46 AM

I think we are reaching that point but the outcome is, rather than push back, men are just opting out. The danger is men realising that they prefer the peace and never opting back in regardless of whether or not the landscape changes.

I'm against a DNA database because I know how the police operate and how lazy they are. The figure I hear often is one in a million. Which means DNA is more than good enough to determine whether a suspect is guilty. However in a population of millions there would be a number of close matches. The police would then pull in the matches and it would then be down to you to prove where you were when that crime was committed. In theory it would be a good thing.

Men may be free to speak but are they free to speak on things that affect men? Try bringing up the men's mental health crisis, access to children, family courts being gynocentric, all flavours of courts being skewed against men, anything really that affects men in those spaces and you'll be shut down. I'm talking as someone who has been firmly on the left my entire life and who continues to be so, but I can completely see how we are pushing young men away and it needs to be addressed.

You mention the UK saying it's not even close due to stabbings but the way you've worded it it's like you are saying stabbings are higher. 2023 there was a total 575 homicides in England and Wales. 6076 suicides that year. So if you actually meant it's not close, meaning suicides are >10x then you're right, but that's not how it comes across in your post given you are saying it's much less in Europe but not the UK due to knife crime.

It's a feedback loop, for certain. It's also largely down to perception.

Ask any bloke whose ever wore a kilt or sarong how safe it is. I'd wager close to 100% of men who have worn one regularly have been sexually assaulted. Same for bar staff in general as well tbf. Although you would have to spell it out (which is a huge reason for the difference in numbers reported). If you ask them have they ever been assaulted they'd say no.

I have no problem with the pushback against "not all men" and am willing to concede that it's not helpful. What I'm not willing to accept is the flip side not being problematic also. Why is it, you accuse men of something as heinous as being rapists then not all men is part of the problem, but you accuse women of a lesser charge like weaponising access to children and not all women is all you get.

I assumed initially the person was setting up for an Uno reverse. Get them on side with the principle then flip it to make their point. It's so obvious they were talking about the male experience it couldn't be anything else. But nope, they actually believed this shit.

Understandable really. Not because of familiarity but because it's rare a bloke is gonna tell a woman that that blowjob earlier was average at best. Nope, it was always "fantastic" cos you know anything else means no more blow jobs and a mediocre one is better than none at all. So how are they supposed to improve?

It's worse than just comments. Support groups/centres have been closed down after protests from women. Apparently it takes away resources best used for similar issues for women.

Saying men should fix it themselves and not go crying to women would be fine if women didn't sabotage any efforts of men to set up any kind of support group.

Likely the UK and the paper aren't using the correct term due to legally, in the UK, a woman can't rape a man. It's a legal thing not the paper being deliberately obtuse. Two ridiculous things about that. First, the bloody obvious, and second, its brought me to defending the Mail.

I'm firmly on the left, have been my entire life. And I've moved further to the left the older I get. One bugbear I've had all my life is how annoying it is when people vote against their own interests. Which means I get the shift right when it comes to young men. Why would they be drawn to parties that openly scorn and deride them at every turn? Why go for the party that blames everything on them just being born?

Been saying this for a while. Andrew Tate and his ilk are a product of the right but his popularity is the fault of the left. It's no wonder young men are turning to people like this when all they've heard from the left their entire lives is "you ain't worth shit" and "every thing wrong with the world is your fault" Tate espouses that men are born with no value so you have to earn your value. The left stop at the first half of that. I'm not saying for one second that Tate and his cronies are the…

Ask any man who wears a kilt or sarong regularly if they have been sexually assaulted and most would probably say no. Rephrase it to has anyone ever reached under your kilt and grabbed your junk and most would say yes. Widen it include have people lifted your kilt to have a look and you will be close to 100% saying yes. Whenever a bar tries a Scottish theme with barmen in kilts they all have dropped the kilts pretty much straight away due to constant sexual assaults.

Those figures may well be right if unwanted touching is included. However, almost identical figures would be reported by men if we use the same classification. Ask any male bartender. You'll be running at close to 100% for those but it never gets dealt with and is almost always laughed off. Female bartenders also get the same but we hear about that all the time and in a decent bar it gets dealt with. Both happen but only one is frowned upon by society.

I'd also add to this, on a similar note, male spaces. There is definitely a loneliness epidemic in men. The reaction from many women is "boo hoo, don't cry to us, you sort it" Which is fair enough. But every time I've seen people try set up a men only space (irl or online groups) the reaction from women (and some men) is also hate and vitriol. For example there are countless women only book groups with zero pushback (and nor should there be pushback, if women want to set up a womens only group o…

The complete lack of any support, societal and governmental, for male domestic abuse survivors. And when we try to do something ourselves it's met with hate and vitriol. See the following for a concrete example where someone tried setting up a shelter and was driven to suicide by the hate he received because of it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Silverman

It's common to the point I'd say it's almost universal. If you polled men who routinely wear a kilt or sarong the sexual assault rate will be near 100%

So it should be not all men but usually a man. But if that's fair so is infanticide isn't all women but usually a woman. Yet somehow I don't think that would be acceptable.

It's definitely become the catch-all boogeyman and if you ask most people blaming shit on it what they mean by the term they are lost. If by the patriarchy they mean the top 1% who are predominantly (but far from exclusively) male, or the similar percentage of men who are violent and a risk to others, then it's a valid argument. But they tend to mean just "men" and the majority of men are being shafted (or hurt) by that same 1% so it's a shite term really.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say 100% of men (or damn near close to it) who regularly wear kilts (or sarongs) have been assaulted but a tiny fraction of those would class it as such. I used to wear sarongs now and again (and occasionally a kilt) and the number of times people felt it was ok to see what I was wearing underneath was ridiculous. And I'm not talking about using their eyes either.

If people who think like this are genuine they must think men get turned on by public transport as I'd guess most men have had an erection from the vibrations on a bus. I'm an old bastard now so it's no longer a consideration but as a student my college folder came in handy when having to disembark. ETA just realised the double meaning for Aussies (and possibly elsewhere) for handy. I meant it as useful, obviously, not sure a folder could hide the other meaning.

I can't remember where in the book it comes but given it's dystopian fiction one would assume it was describing that world. Yes, she has said that everything in the book has happened, or is currently happening, somewhere in the world. Which is correct, allowing for a level of artistic license. But that doesn't mean it's describing the world we live in. People have effectively melded the two points to come up with an incorrect assumption. Those things from that fictional world have happened in ce…

I was responding to you saying ask someone poor or working class. The whole point was privilege exists in many stripes but it's contextual and doesn't exist in a vacuum. You homing in on the example is nothing to do with the point. I bet you complain about whataboutism when it comes from women. And don't call me kid you patronising arse.

All privilege is contextual. So in some contexts (such as less worry walking around at night) male privilege exists but similarly so does female privilege (such as being in front of a judge/family court)

And who created the patriarchy? Men, that's who. So we deserve whatever ills come our way, obviously. Seriously though, it's become one of those buzzwords that people use without being able to give any kind of definition for at all. And it plays into the 1%s hands. While women are blaming men, natives are blaming immigrants, theists are blaming atheists (etc), it means we don't focus the blame on where it should be focused.

Exactly this. It's all about the definition. If by patriarchy they mean "the top 0.1% who are predominantly (but far from exclusively) men", then yes it's a thing. I don't think it's a helpful label however. However the majority of the time it's used it seems to be used to mean "men".

I'm not saying they don't exist outside social media at all (hence 'on the whole') but that day to day among regular folk that's not the experience. I'd say almost everyone I know is a feminist and while I have encountered that mindset in the real world it's the minority. Whereas if you believe the social media take it's the majority. If your experience is different I would suggest changing the people in your life.

That's the only real difference with children to gay parents. You know for certain they were planned. Edit: obviously talking about gay birth parents, where a friend helped out or was turkey baster job. All adopted kids are planned and wanted by the adoptive parents It's always my answer when arseholes try making the point that if we were all gay the human race would die out. No it wouldn't. There just wouldn't be any unwanted children around.
