You're never rid of a woman's children. Just wait until your woman's adult child goes through a divorce. See, this is the thing. There is always an upside and downside to kids. If they're your kids—well, then that's that. You hope that the upside outweighs the downside. But if they're not your kids, you're behind the eight ball. If they're not your kids, the upside is only so much. Sure, if they graduate college or get married, you can be happy for them. But you're not going to be proud and elat…

My favorite part: The hormones made me more impatient. I had lots of female friends and one of the qualities they loved about me was that I was a great listener. After being on testosterone, they informed me that my listening skills weren’t what they used to be. Here’s an example: I’m driving with one of my best friends, Beth, and I ask her “Is your sister meeting us for dinner?” Ten minutes later she’s still talking and I still have no idea if her sister is coming. So finally, I couldn’t take i…

Straughan's interview reminded me of an interesting essay I read a while ago (I forget where) that compared the upper-middle class women of mid-20th century America with the upper class men of ancient Athens. Both were essentially a leisure class, the bulk of whose work was accomplished by slaves, in the one case, and by labor-saving devices, in the other. But the leisure they were granted by these circumstances was used very differently. The ancient Athenian men basically founded what we today …

This is a perfect illustration of why college campuses need to refer rape allegations to the police, rather than adjudicating all such claims in kangaroo courts using testimony given by neurotics. What is discussed in this essay is wrong on so many levels, but not in any way the author imagines. Just think, you tell a woman that you just met for a first date that you drove too long a way to not get a blowjob, and her reaction is that it would just be easier to get drunk and let you have your way…

Sometime, you ought to make a list of the things that men do, for which they're called "creeps," that women get away with when they do them. As far as I'm concerned, creep-shaming is as real as slut-shaming. And when women complain about a double standard that characterizes sexually promiscuous women as sluts while letting men get away with such behavior, you can point out that women—when they casually touch you or call you honey or ogle construction workers, or whatever—are never called creeps.…

This is actually a really interesting question. If a pubescent boy experiences anxiety over the fact that his beard isn't coming in "like the other boys" or that his muscles aren't developing "like the other boys," is his anxiety a kind of body dysmorphia or even perhaps gender dysmorphia? If he feels he should be "more of a man" than what he perceives himself to be, why is that not a recognized condition that may be treated with hormone injections?

I don't think so; but the shortage of nurses is not nothing. Plus, there are women who are surgeons, or who maybe play a critical role here or there. But all the things you mention are exactly what I'm talking about when I talk about men taking the week off. It would be the end of civilization.

If every last woman in America took a week home from work, stayed home, spent no money, and did absolutely nothing, there would be fallout. Let's not kid ourselves. Some people would even die, as a result. However, if every last man in America did the same for a week—our civilization would come to a cataclysmic end.

I saw the Tom Walker video last week. I also read a couple of good pieces from liberal journalists (one of them very long), and the great think about the Walker video is that he sums up much of what they had to say in an entertaining manner. The P.C. Brigade has simply gone off the rails. What happened was a cold, hard slap.

To justify her point, Mateo observes, “It’s not even proper etiquette to offer congratulations to a bride (or bride-to-be),” and cites a tradition that only a groom is congratulated for his achievement of a “great catch” in a bride, while a bride receives only “best wishes” on the big day.

Men have a nearly absolute right to freedom of speech. Oh my goodness, this woman is so, so right. It's almost like a male presidential candidate can talk about grabbing women by the pussy and nobody even seems to notice. I mean, do you guys even know what I'm referring to? Probably not, because a man has carte blanche to say nearly anything, and no one will ever criticize him—especially the media or other politicians.

Gaslighting is when you're trying to make a sane person think he's crazy. The concept doesn't apply when you're merely pointing out that a neurotic person is in fact crazy. This is the main problem with SJW's complaining about being the victims of gaslighting.

In a sense, it’s annoying and debilitating to be constantly questioned about whether or not I have agency and am a sexual human being. I think Camille Paglia has commented on this aspect: namely, that the budinsky administrators in colleges are infantilizing women, and that they should just stay out of it. The bottom line, according to Paglia, is this. Human sexuality, particularly casual sex, is fraught with both ambiguity and even danger. People—and this includes women—need to take responsibil…

The whole thing is sordid, but you're absolutely correct. The true issue is Hillary Clinton's demonizing the women foolish enough to get involved with Bill Clinton, or unfortunate enough (if the allegations are to be believed) to have been sexually assaulted by him. Set the allegations of actual rape aside, for a moment. Bill Clinton has a huge sexual appetite and feeling of entitlement. That's uncontroversial. But, Hillary Clinton is a monster.

[W]hen women are in short supply, men must be more dutiful to win and retain a partner. With an abundance of women, men are spoilt for choice and adopt more promiscuous behaviour that brings them into conflict with other men [...] Now, this is interesting, because what we're talking about here, the way I'm inclined to interpret it, is the availability of sexual partners. In other words, we could write: When promiscuous women are in short supply men must be more dutiful. I don't know if the above…

Additionally, 85% of black homicide victims are male. The last time I brought this up in a conversation, a white feminist scoffed and said “well that’s their fault,” which implied that victims of gang violence somehow deserved it. Basically, that attitude boils down to, "As long as they're killing each other." Very progressive, indeed.

No responses whatsoever. And, believe me, I'm pretty good at garnering responses on Facebook news feeds. I don't know what happened here.

If you think about it, male-on-male homophobia is bad for straight guys. Now, before I go any further, let me say emphatically that I am not saying that homophobia is just as bad for straight men as it is for gay men. Obviously, it hurts gay men worse. But when a straight man is afraid of having a gay male friend, he's throwing out an opportunity.

Here's how things happen in real life. A man and a woman go back to his apartment at 8 PM. At 8:30, she says something ambiguous, like: "I don't know if we should." At 10:30, they're in bed having sex. At 9:30, the next morning, they're lounging around in bed with her asking, "So, what are we doing?" If, in court, we're supposed to stop at the statement made at 8:30 the night before, then what we have is a kangaroo court. Non-consensual sex does happen. But there is a crusade going on right now …

This isn't the issue. The real point is that men who stop at the first "no" are going to watch other men have sex with women, and in the overwhelmingly vast majority of cases, this will be consensual sex. The issue is that it seems like women like persistence and charm in a man, and will entice the man into demonstrating these qualities. This is how the "mating dance" between human men and women happens.

This is also why, traditionally, women were careful about putting themselves in "compromising situations." The idea is this. Our "mating dance" is a complicated thing, fraught with misunderstandings and the complications that come from such.

But, today, asking that a woman take…

What we simply need is a return to the idea that if it only comes down to he-said/she-said, with no other evidence, then reasonable doubt has been established and the accused must be found innocent. The problem women have with this is that they will have to learn to look out for themselves and guard against putting themselves in what used to be called "compromising situations." Well, that's just too bad. Due process trumps "liberation."

If abortion weren't an option, it would be reasonable to say that both father and mother should be equally responsible. But now we can't even have a conversation, because we are not agreeing on our fundamental premises.

Before abortion was safe and legal, sex led to pregnancy and pregnancy led to birth. Now, whether or not a birth will happen is 100 percent the right of the woman.

"It's not that either males or females are better at cooperating [...] Rather, there's just a difference in how they're cooperating." Now, compare this to what appears further down in the article. Previous behavioral studies have found that women cooperate more when they're being watched by other women; that men tend to cooperate better in large groups; and that while a pair of men might cooperate better than a pair of women, in a mixed-sex pair the woman tends to be more cooperative.

Yes, I saw that study, and shared it on here maybe 6 months or so ago. It's worth sharing. Camille Paglia talks about this sort of thing: namely, the genteel middle-class upbringing that completely shields young women from the realities of sex. In other words, when you tell your daughter something along the lines of, "nice girls don't, and nice boys respect that," you leave them worse than unprepared. They meet a guy, and he "seems so nice"—and then they're completely taken aback at the thought …

Does the above imply that men, by contrast, are working on their relationships? I would say, not necessarily. From the above, you could just as easily speculate that men are more willing to expect less in the first place and to just go along to get along. Things only get "tough" because expectations (or demands) are not being met. If you're less demanding of your relationship in the first place, things are less likely to get tough.

Getting pregnant will be the female version of fleeing to Canada, so any law requiring women to register for Selective Service will not be complete until there is also a provision to punish women for getting pregnant after being drafted.

There is really only one way to address this, but very few people want to consider it anymore.

As I see it, failing to establish an emotionally bonded relationship with another adult, these women decide they will bring a human life into the world, one that—by the very nature of the relationship—will likely be enraptured by "mommy." I deem it completely narcissistic, pathological behavior.

Thinking back to my eighth grade class, which had approximately 190-200 students in it, there were at least 3 or 4 girls who were already fully developed and looked older. I could easily imagine an 18 or 19 year old man calling out "Hey, baby!" or something like that. Is that perhaps rude? Okay, I'll say yes. Is it an offense that ought to be punished with a year or two in prison? Absolutely not.

“When you are 17 and a man, you realize you are signing up for something that could be very disastrous in your life. It’d only take a blink of an eye… and all of a sudden, you are going to go to combat.” The above quote is from the link to the Washington Post, mentioned in the article. Mark my words, some enlightened feminist somewhere will read the above and argue that this is "exactly what pregnancy is like" for women, and thus a male-only registration is needed for reasons of redress.

What's stupid about her stunt is this. The people who are against abortion aren't against it because they—on principle—believe that the state should control women's "reproductive rights." They're against abortion because they equate it with the killing of a human being. So, unless you want to argue that every sperm is sacred (thank you, Monty Python), the rationale for her bill stems from a non sequitur.

This points out what is wrong with the subjective approach to law and criminal justice from so-called women's advocates. Just to take the whole "rape-culture-yes-means-yes" thing on our college campuses as an example, the policies people have put in place or are looking to put in place are based more on feelings than anything objective. It's a travesty of justice, and an undermining of the hard-won principles of Anglo-American law.

Set in 1912-13, it shows how the women in the suffrage movement attacked property and bombed post boxes to make their voices heard. What the film portrays is based in fact.

I think the animosity towards the guy comes from a deep-seated but unacknowledged fact of biology. A woman's baby-making ability wears out pretty early on in a modern lifetime, whereas a man's can continue more or less indefinitely (until he dies).

The article has several links that crunch the numbers on various studies.

He then wishes to arrange to sell his home, buy two modest homes—one for him and one for the wife. Likewise, he arranges for $750 thousand of his yearly earnings to be put in something like an escrow, the total to be returned to his control only after the children turn 21. He petitions the court that child…

The late B.B. King used to do a bit of patter during an interlude in his song "Someday, Baby." He always varied what he said a little bit, but his message was consistent. It applies here. First, in all fairness, he'd have something to say to the men about being patient with their women when they "won't do what you tell them." That's the stereotype, right—that Mr. Big Shot is always trying to tell his woman what to do. Okay, let's grant that, because here's what he used to have to say to the wome…

Because they get away with it. Of course! Do you know why I don't go around hitting men? Because I would have a fight on my hands. Men aren't taught from the time they're little boys that they should "never hit a Mario." Now, in all fairness, I've been in plenty of relationships, and not a single one of the women I've been involved with has ever hit me. They're not all nuts. But the ones that do hit men are encouraged by a sense of entitlement.

I don't think it's fair to say that women are "still mainly interested in cheerleading." Women's athletics is pretty big in the schools by me (NY). But, it is my understanding that the options for men have been limited, in the interest of "equity" (because, generally speaking, men are more interested in sports). It's another case of when "fairness" isn't fair at all.

It's federal education law in the United States that mandates schools do not discriminate by sex. It started off, mainly, as a way to push for equity in sports. This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but once upon a time, men in school had their choice of participating on school football, basketball, wrestling, track, baseball teams, and so on, while women were basically relegated to cheerleading.

Number one, our culture is far more sexualized nowadays, kids especially. So, I can see where a sexual dynamic can occur and be fostered, whereas 30 or 40 years ago it wouldn't have happened as often. That said, I think I do see your point; and if I do, I agree with it. These women seducing 14 and 15-year-old boys are sick (though that doesn't excuse them any more than it does men who seduce young people). They're emotionally and psychologically stunted.

Women like her I see this way. They are unable to establish any lasting, mature emotional relationship with another adult, and so they create a human being who will be fully dependent on them in hopes of satisfying their emptiness. I find that pretty scary.

We disagree on all points.

I'm saying the father only incurred an obligation because, at one time, sex and birth were inextricably bound. We were slaves to biology. Sex and birth are no longer inextricably bound, as I've stated above. All children after this fact are being born under a new set of conditions. Our laws still reflect the historical conditions; they do not reflect the present ones. In short, men no longer incur a moral obligation to the child, as they are no longer morally responsible for that child's birth. …

Carrying to term or terminating a pregnancy is a choice; if a woman's choice is informed by her moral code, that moral code is her choice. She's not being unfairly punished.

I do not understand what you mean by "legislate biology." Our laws reflect the facts of reality that we deal with. As human beings, since we make technological advances and change the conditions under which we live, unlike the animals who simply must submit to nature, our laws should reflect these changes. We no longer live like animals, as we did up until about 50 or 60 years ago, when abortions became medically safe procedures. Again, birth is 100% the decision of the woman. As such, fairness …

It is the woman's sole decision as to whether or not to bring a child into the world, as such the obligation to the child should be solely that of the woman. We have advanced to the point to where we have completely severed the causal relationship between sex and birth. For almost all of human history -- natural history, actually -- sex was both necessary and sufficient to effect birth. Now, sex is no longer causally sufficient: birth is a conscious and deliberate choice. At the very least, our …

How is insinuating you're Jewish when you're not any different than insinuating that you love a woman when you don't? The "horror" is out and out racism. It's because the guy was Palestinian and she "never" would have slept with a Palestinian -- at least, and not have her friends find out. If this was a Jewish guy who told her he loved her when he didn't, presuming she'd only have sex if there was love, the guy wouldn't be charged with rape.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
