I think a lot of people put up some sort of defense mechanism when they hear "privilege" because they want credit for their struggles, and to imagine that there are some factors that are in their favor would be to discredit their effort, and nobody wants their effort belittled (even if that's not what happens when privilege is recognized).

fellow social worker here, I just want to say keep up the good fight, and get ready to report those sorry-ass professors who are still using outdated theories for "helping others" once you've attained your degree (if they're unlicensed at this time, then I suppose you could really only raise a stink to the academic body they represent, but still might feel good knowing you're doing something to stomp out the toxic influence they appear to have). it fucks me up that we've had trauma-informed care…

once your brain develops a dependency, having the right balance of once-foreign opiates put into your system may be the only way for you to remain at baseline lucidity- I think we all wish intoxication was possible at any dose, but unfortunately, there's more to the equation. different bodies, different doses, different outcomes- but here I am trying to bring rationalism into a discussion before being polite enough to point out that flying /s thing that just whooshed over your head :P

so, if her doctor wrote a script for male condoms, that could be covered too. it's still goofy that it's only the woman's dr, that seems really lopsided.

I'm just having the hardest time coming to terms with a doctor writing a prescription for an otc product that can be obtained for free through so many different avenues. but, upon further searching, it is theoretically possible for a doctor to do it, even if I've never seen or heard of it! I suppose it's like how insulin syringes are available in some places without Rx, but having it makes it cheaper.

I don't think the ACA has a specific provision for condom supply (male or female), as I've not seen anyone ever use insurance to pay for condoms....are you thinking of some women's preventative health freebies or something?

is that your own law or one that actually exists on paper? the infinite ways people can be coerced into doing something they don't want to do are not really addressed with that short of a definition. it's pretty difficult to make a short-and-sweet line in the lawbook to cover such a wide range of events, you know?

depends on who he reports it to, but the whole "consent doesn't exist while intoxicated" crowd doesn't usually differentiate between gender (because they apply this rule to all couplings, which are not always male/female)

worth speaking to someone at the local police department just to record what's going on (no need to inform her of this). if you like, you can try filling out an order of protection against her that specifies that she is not to contact you by any means, including digitally. then if she continues, you'll have a head start in getting some sort of further protection against her. overall: document what you can, and report it with a third party so that a record of her harassment exists. even excessive…

these characteristics are not race-linked, they are genotype-linked. which means that the causal factor is not the race, but the bloodlines that lead a person to have the genes they do. from the wikipedia article you quoted: "Sickle-cell gene mutation probably arose spontaneously in different geographic areas, as suggested by restriction endonuclease analysis.

that's how I feel about it- the general idea of these -isms is that it can flow any direction, and social context determines which manifestations are more or less common. when I hear people say 'reverse'*neutral-ism, I understand that they mean it when compared to the previous incarnation in the same context...but it still irks me because the term implies that there is a right/wrong way to do racism, which isn't accurate across cultures.
/r/MensRights13/05/15 12:14 PM

has to do with any end of the spectrum being considered extreme. I also have no idea when 'progressive' began to mean extremist, but basically any label besides 'moderate' (or as is popular in the US now, 'libertarian') has a perjorative meaning now and nobody wants to self-identify either way. I don't know. when everyone is free to self-identify, nobody wants to say they're part of a group that that crazy mofo over there also said they were part of.

/r/MensRights06/05/15 02:05 PM

true. I think part of the labeling probably has to do with some specific new bits of the ACA that prevent certain practices that were clearly a bad deal, wheras now the bad deals are more subtle. Like I mentioned previously, if the "cheapest" monthly premium available to you is over 10% of your income, you are not obligated to fulfill the individual mandate, so there are protections in place to give people ways of opting out and not being "forced" to do things that are objectively not in their b…

I was using the words "more affordable" to mean the plans on the less expensive side of the spectrum of plans offered, not as an absolute judgement of if they are affordable to a person. I was trying to avoid referring to them as "the cheaper plans" because that also feels weirdly judgemental.
/r/MensRights04/05/15 06:44 PM

the concept of a deductible in addition to monthly preimums is a pretty common aspect of insurance, but I agree that these "federal marketplace" plans usually have a scary high deductible on the more affordable plans.
/r/MensRights04/05/15 05:57 PM

one of the caveats of the ACA is that if the "cheapest"'premium available is over 10% of your income, you aren't required to purchase a policy. may I ask, which state are you in?
/r/MensRights04/05/15 05:55 PM

is your monthly premium more than 10% of your take home pay? edit: asking because if it is, you don't actually have to buy private insurance according to the ACA.

I could ask you why you made a mountain out of my stupid quotation marks! This is why I'm such a little freak about clarification. you did clarify your point in the way I was hoping, but then you had to accuse my weird punctuation as a sign of being condescending or shitty or whatever.

And men don't get the option to sell sex since women feel it's worthless. semantics. in this sentence, you do not specify to whom the sexual services are being provided, just that women feel it's worthless. I suppose I could've assumed what you meant, but I don't like doing that, so I have the habit of taking reddit shit super literally.

Ok, it's clear that you are not going to actually engage in a discussion about the merits of recognizing the existence of smaller demographics. You know, the whole thing I was talking about when I asked if you were being sarcastic by implying that male sex workers magically don't real?

I was merely trying to clear up your reading-way-too-deeply-between-the-lines of my comment that male sex workers exist thus it is not accurate to say that men cannot sell sex/don't get the option to sell sex. Which is what you originally said, perhaps you meant to specify that you were referring only to the scenario of men selling it to women- but since you just said men selling sex, I didn't make any assumptions about the buyer's identity.

My statement you replied to didn't say that women pay for sexual services from men more or less than men pay for sexual services from men, so I'm not sure why you thought I was inferring that?

it has to do with the "nature vs nurture" argument being worthless. we are all a combination of both nature and nurture, and in the postmodern world, most humans do not feel constrained to try and be as natural as possible.

most times, I am too silly to have a Serious Internet Discussion, but I'm trying to find out why people hate VAWA so much. I learned that it's not the bill (which is gender neutral & goes beyond intimate partner violence)- it's the lack of oversight on what is being done with the grants recieved through VAWA. u/DougDante did a great job getting into the nitty gritty for me, because I was just reading the bill text and couldn't see anything anti-man in that.

this comic might be relevant if this subreddit was called "equal rights", but as this is a demographic-specific rights campaign, this very argument (why call yourself an MRA if you're for equal rights) has been brought up time and time again as acceptable....

I think that the word of importance is //wife. as in, legally partnered with the male in question....not just any female partner. doesn't make the idea of requiring another's permission for donation of one's body any more okay, but perhaps that is where the idea of making it that way came from.

ty. I think you're right about seeing an outdated sign- right now the only mention of equal pay for equal work (on the wage poster) does not mention any sort of 'women only make this much compared to men for the same work' type thing. I've never seen one like it around the required posters at any of my jobs....and I live here. I recall seeing the CTA ads about women making $0.71, and that it is co-sponsored by the state department of labor. since I don't really take comments on a blog as final p…

oh snap, did you just bring race into this before anyone else did? being all defensive about something nobody is talking about has been done before, try again. oh yeah death threats, those have already been done before too.

yeah, that was a totally shit attempt at humorage about Joiner appearing in both our comments, don't even worry about it. but about habituation of pain: as self-injury increases, and jobs gradually including fewer and fewer occupations that create that habituation, I think we're going to see this specific effect play a smaller and smaller role in the differences between men's and women's expressions of suicidal ideation.

yep, according to the theories in the specific paper I linked. but did you notice how the relationships between factors were not linked to gender? my point is, it doesn't matter what gender a person is, in order for the processes to occur- the causal pathways are defined by specific occurrences, such as feeling like a burden or alienated, that are present in both genders. the specific reasons that an individual comes to acquire these traits extend far beyond their gender alone, and should be tre…

teachers.....are already banned from diagnosing boys because they are not doctors. taking a non-professional's advice about a very specific medical subject is never a good idea. teachers make referrals to outside specialists, but that's really the extent of it.

this might be helpful for anyone curious about the relation between self-injury and suicide in young people, while we're on the topic. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16887199

while your criteria for suicide are correct in most theoretical models, the gender differences you outline are a little more anecdotal. we need to move past correlation ("women tend to have lots of support from family" is an observation, not a test(ed) hypothesis such as "women of this specific demographic are more likely to reach out for social support in hightened stress situations due to xyz socialization patterns") and onto causative factors/ecological systems if we ever want to enact positi…

it can be useful when we're discussing very specific ideas that often have a consistent effect on a certain group- for example, it is beneficial to label things as "triggers" when there will be an automatic response, such as when a PTSD patient smells a certain smell or hears a certain sound associated with their trauma and will 9/10 times go right into a panic attack. in many aspects of healthcare and beyond, it is incredibly helpful to know ahead of time what unique factors will set a person o…

why isn't this the top post? so many people are just so eager for this satire to be an actual argument, and I don't understand how they can just keep on going on the "bigoted feminist" diatribe even after it's pointed out to be fake.....blows my mind actually.

I really am not even talking about the history of voting rights, I'm just talking about your generalizations two posts ago....when I originally said you were greatly oversimplifying history, I wasn't implying that I disagreed with your conclusions-- I was trying to say that I didn't see much merit in the way in which you were trying to make your point. so, don't worry, I'm not trying to expose teh Patriarchy or anything, I was seriously just pointing out that you were also guilty of oversimplify…

but this is what I'm saying: if you're trying to make the point that 'history is more complicated' than whatever you assume 420Qween thinks it is, it is not in your best interest to make weird generalizations about "99% of human history" being a certain way. also, I think you are on different pages about what constitutes a right...

//Whether you think being forced to be forced to cover your face and be pregnant and in the kitchen is worse than getting forced to join the local warlord's militia is a bullshit argument that I refuse to get into.// //Remind me again who shed more blood trying to vote?// I think you brought it up there... edit about the rights thing: I think this is where we have to agree to disagree on our working definitions.

point #1: rights are not earned, they are things that everyone magically has regardless of what they did. point #2: don't try to say boys outbleed girls. just, don't.

ohhhh yeah, just like the taliban; ever heard of one of those guys NOT being a muslim? checkmate islam! //but in all seriousness, it's important to remember not to use crappy inductive reasoning carelessly when you have an important message to spread. I too suspect that there are not many misandrists that don't also try to call themselves feminists, but I'm not sure that it's is a big enough proportion to consider applying that characteristic (blanket hatred of men) to the entire family of femin…

yeah, the article was not actually about a 15 year old father and 11 year old mother, although the age disparity still implies someone was taken advantage of. unfortunately in my corner of the world, my coworker's ex's daughter who is 11 just became pregnant by her 16 year old boyfriend, so maybe we can get someone to report on that as "news"?
