Fictional videos about rape? Or actual videos of crimes. With 20,000 videos, you should get hundreds of thousands of views even if no people actually watched any of the videos. Just from a search engines indexing 20,000 pages 5 times would give you 100,000 views.

Apparently, it is like saying if Reddit had 62 million visits and one forum on reddit had some crazy content that had a few hundred thousand page hits that 62 million people were going to that content. In fact the number was a few hundre thousand hits. How many pages on Reddit do you view per year? 1000? So it could be more like 100 users.

In a way, no one is entitled to anything. I mean this is true if and only if you also believe the same thing about men. But if you make the same claim about men here I doubt it would be well recieved. Making the claim only about women comes across as misogynistic. .

The handicapped accessibe stalls are not "handicapped stalls". They are stalls that are handicapped accessible. They are not like parking spaces that are reserved for handicapped people. This is like complaining that someone walked up the ramp into the building because they built the ramp so that people in wheelchairs could get in.

It is natural for a country ro get a lower birth rate as it becomes industrialized. The way to handle this is to make up for it via immigration. But in Korea 99 percent of its population is ethnically Korean. So it will probably have a hard time attracting a bunch of immigrants. (It is easier to be an immigrant in a country with lots of different subcultures.rather than a monoculture).

The part that bothers me about this is that people seem more bothered by her critiquing men going to the gym as their only hobby than they do questioning whether that is even accurate. Men and women are equally likely to report working out as one of their hobbies. 10% of both men and women say working out is a hobby. 24% of men say reading is a hobby. So, I would say this woman is lilely only picking very atheletic men to date, and then wondering why their hobby is going to the gym. Going to the…

Well, often the bitterness is misogyny. And their is often misandry. I would argue that neither is good. Choosing not to date is fine. But that should be about what you think is best for you and not because you think the opposite sex is horrible. They aren't in either case. At least not in general.

To be fair, there is a fair amount of bitterness towards women in the MGTOW community. They see this as misogyny. At the same time they so not see the bitterness towards men as misandry. To them, it is not the same because generalizations about men are ok.

If a woman says their ex-boyfriend was crazy, this may or may not be a red flag. This means there was some drama in their previous relationship and they are almost certainly each blaming the other person. So, there is like a 50% chance of it being a red flag. I think it is the same if a man is calling their ex-girlfriend crazy.

When I was in college, my girlfriend had just learned how to drive and got a flat tire like both one block from home and also like 50 feet from a tire store. But she was a new driver and freaked out and called me all upset. But she grew up in a city where people didn't need to drive and so she never had much experience with it. So for her, that was a big crisis situation. Anyway, my point is, for his girlfiend, this might have been a very scary experience. And from his perspective, she was quite…

Here is one example of how the statistics are misrepresented. The article mentions that men are winning custody when they contest it, but they are comparing men getting joint custody with women getting full custody: The link they reference says "Of those 2,100, 92 percent either received full or joint custody, with mothers receiving full custody only 7 percent of the time." So, sure, if you assume that mothers should always get full custody, then any amount of joint custody seems like oppression…

Depending on the forest, it is probably always more dangerous to meet a human. For example, when I was a kid, my brother was wandering around in the woods and accidently stumbled too close to the neighbors pot farm. They came over with rifles (He said they looked like M-16s, but I have no idea) and suggested he walk in the other direction.

I think facing unfair criticism is a universal human experience and is probably not unique to men. Women face criticism for having the audacity to not want to have a child, not to mention not wanting to get married. Women get criticised for both being too sluty and also not being a virgin. This is not to say that things are necessarily 100 percent equal between men and women on this issue.

Some forms of FGM which are outlawed in the US much less severe than circumcision. I think they made the political calculation and decided the mutilation of little boys was an acceptable loss to prevent it for little girls. But sure, it probably would have been hard to get it banned for everyone. But this was advocating increasing inequality. So it undermines the idea that feminism can be trusted to handle issues like this. Another similar issue is domestic violence. NoW and other prominent femi…

By your definition alone, I might qualfiy as a "normal feminist", depending on what you mean by equality. For example, I think most people think men and women (and everything on the spectrum) should have equal oppurtunity. However, I would not be in favor of blindly enforcing equal outcomes. So, hiring the best person for the job regardless of gender is great. Having quotas is bad. Ensuring people are treated fairly under the law regardless of their sex is great.

I think we can agree that there should be no child support without paternity testing. In terms of mandatory DNA testing for everyone, some details need to be worked out.

If you are going to roleplay as the other side, keep in mind that they don't believe that they patriarchy exists. So they don't use that word.

I was hoping something similar about progressive causes when Hilary lost. I was hoping the Democrats would be like "Maybe we shouldn't have cheated so much against Bernie Sanders in the primaries.

They are against having discussions about men being disadvantaged relative to women in any way. They often lock theads whenever good discussions break out. It seems more about men becoming goof feminists than about supporting men's rights.

My dad shot a bear just outside his house. Not that far away, in the woods, my brother has run into someone with an M-16 who encouraged him to go in a different direction that was not towards his illicit marajuana crops when wandering in the forest. I have personally encountered quite a few random people when hiking. Generally speaking, there is no reason to be super-afraid of a bear or a human you encounter in the woods. Though, the odds of a human attacking you are probably slightly higher.

He was not talking about someone who had sex at all. He was talking about children not being able to consent to medical procedures in general. His argument was just about why children need parental permission for medical procedures. The point was just that the fact that kids can't consent to medical procedures, and need parental permission does not imply that women should not have a right to bodily autonomy.

Fewer than 15% of the military see combat or are assigned to a combat role. Somewhere between 2-17% of miltary members who were in combat get PTSD.

Find someone with greater than zero income is not that hard. OP says they plan on providing zero income. It is likely most of the men in the dating market can beat that offer.

the military has enough data points to show that female recruits do enough to disrupt a unit of all males, such that they defer to the woman in their unit.

The argument that women should be included in the draft is utterly rational and is not giving in to emotion at all. 85% of the military will never see combat. So, even if you thought women would be less effective in combat, it would make sense to use them to rotate into positions that free up other people to be deployed. The only reason you would not want to do this is if you are letting your emotions get in the way of your rational thinking.

Yes. That means he pled guilty. That's how plea bargains work. Almost no one would plead guilty without some kind of offer of a reduced sentence. It sucks that he was charged.

To be fair, there were guidelines in place intended to discourage the prosecution of people making false allegations if they are young, or have mental illness on the basis that this makes them vulnerable.

These particular women are most likely "vulnerable" under the guidelines. The real issue is whether or not being a vulnerable woman justifies society handing you a g…

No one argued that fetuses were not human. My appendix is human too. And it is alive. But removing my appendix is not morally equivalent to killing a chd. Banning abortion is a disaster for men because men are obligated to pay for the child. Men who want to become fathers should get married and pick women who also want to be mothers. They don't need to ban abortion. If their strategy is to go get a woman pregnant via a one night stand and forcing her to give birth, they are doing it wrong.

Victim blaming happens for all sorts of crimes for both men and women. When people hear about a crime happening to someone, it can make them feel unsafe. If they are powerless to prevent crimes from happening to them, it is scary. If they can rationalize that they are not in the same situation as the victim, then they can feel safer. So, it is a defense mechanism to try to come up with how the victim did something different than you, and thus their situation is not the same.

You likely misses the part at the beginning where they explained in detail how the laws might prohibit the use of Plan B entirely since the law starts at conception and not implantation. And 12 to 15 out of 50 states is quite a lot. Even 1 out of 50 states is enough to be concerned about. We are talking about 3 out if 50 states before Roe v Wade is even overturned. Then up to another 12 immediately afterward. So republican states are already moving to ban plan B and you concede that but pretend …

You are arguing against reining government in, even though you think it has become more oppressive as of late. The ERA is not just some law. It is a Constitutional Amendment. And it doesn't give more power to the government, it restricts the government from making laws that favor one sex/gender over another.

The article actually makes a good point. When abortion is illegal, every miscarriage is a potential crime to be investigated.

This particular guy did something stupid, got called out on it, then accused his critics of toxic femininity. He misused the term. In this case, the article is right.

To be fair the term toxic masculinity was coined in reference to men in prison.

If you look at statistics the average earnings of women dwindles after marriage while the earnings of married men goes up. So we can see that there is a secret society at work that punishes married women and rewards married men with raises. Or we do have some kind of split labor where one stays at home and the other works even harder. It is almost like women select marriage partners based on their earning potential, but men generally don't.

They also didnt allow men to vote for most of that time either, and certainly not the ones that were getting sent off to war until recently. There wasn't all that long between most men and most women getting the right to vote. But I believe the theory was that if almost all your men died off you can still repopulate. But if almost all the women die off your society is doomed. I don't think societies valued men or women all that much. But they didn't want their society to stop functioning. So pro…

Your stats are not about winning contested custody cases though. You are misreading them. Winning custody does not necessarily mean contested. You were rather clear when you said it. Just none of your links support what you are saying. In fact they contradict it. No where does it say in contested divorces 76 percent of women get custody.
/r/MensRights19/01/22 11:10 PM

The first link shows that men win 60 percent of the time when they contest custody. The second link says 90 percent of all cases not only when contested. Other sources show that men get custody in Utah about 26 percent of the time overall. It is unclear what the rate is in contested cases. Overall in around 51 percent of divorces both parties agree to give custody to the mom. So 26 percent would be winning about 50 percent of the time in contested cases.

That is an interesting argument. I am not sure your statistics about 80 percent of custody going to women when men try for custody is correct though. Do you have something to support that?

I would define terrorism as politically motivated violence against civilian targets by a subnational group. I don't support redefining terrorism to mean "everything I don't like". Using nonviolent methods doesn't make it necessarily better, but it does make it something other than terrorism.

Crimes is actually the easiest one to find evidence on. You can look up the average sentence for the same crime by the race and sex of the criminal. Interestingly the sex of the criminal is a way bigger predictor of the length of their sentence than their race. So if she believes that sex isn't a significant factor in sentencing she must also believe race is not a factor.

Atheism is not necessarily anti-theism. But it often practically works out that way because theists attack atheists. Likewise, being in favor of men's rights isn't naturally anti-feminist.

When people complain, perhaps police didn't try all that hard in the past when the teacher was female. But now, due to social media and text messaging, it is easy to prove objectively what was going on. Also, you can do so without needing the testimony of the victim.

I imagine the major change from the 1950's to today is that women have way more control over their career choices than they did in the 1950s.

It is often argued that all differences in the percentage of men versus women in a given career field is due to discrimination and sexism.

When you have a medical trial, you have to balance the risks to the trial participants with the medical benifits. Unfortunately, for men, the benifits of birth control pills are mostly financial and not medical in nature. So, for women, the same side effect might be less than the risk of all the medical risks associated with pregnancy. But for men, that same side effect is weighed against the medical risk to them only and might be found lacking.

I suppose the one case where it has been proposed that the government determine whether or not you have been raped is in the context of abortion laws. Some places proposed prohibiting abortion but making exceptions for rape. But then that sort of raises the question of what kind of bureaucratic procedure there would have to be to get approval to have an abortion under that exception.

If they eliminate people who are well known to the community then they are purposely excluding a huge number of the most talented male programmers and very fewell female programmers. So, another way to state the results of this study would be to say that when you exclude the best male programmers and then compare what's left, females are better. You should expect that if male and female programmers are of equal quality.

I think a really easy criticism of feminism is to say that the term presupposes a gender binary, and assumes that one side of that binary is in need of help in order to create equality.

The thing is, the vast majority of all relationships fail. Had you dated men instead of women, I would expect you to have had similar results.

The reason feminists might think catcalling is a feminist issue is that they see it in the context of a society that they think is hostile to women. Some feminists think that men catcall women because they want all women to feel unsafe in public and other such nonsense. Maybe you have to be more specific about what catcalling means.

My question would be how does this policy's results differ from decriminalizing prostitution.

On the other hand, in the Netherlands, which has 16.8 million people, they have 909 people trafficked in 2009 (138 of which were men). That means that they have pretty comparable levels of trafficking. So, it appears that…

They needed 10 new subs. There are definitely design tradeoffs in doing this. But they are not 18 billion dollars worth of tradeoffs. How much do you think it cost extra for the separate quarters?

No. Because companies that pay more but are farther away from major population centers would have a disproportionate number of males.

One problem is that employees do not choose jobs solely on the basis of pay. For example, men often commute twice as far to work as women. Also, women are more likely to prefer better benefit packages than men. So, even if a company pays everyone in a given position equally, women are likely to get less pay than men because men have a wider range of companies to choose from (since they are willing to commute farther).

Well, in terms of the law, I think almost all systematic inequalities favor women over men (in the United States anyway).

Women definitely do feel entitled to sex more than men. But a small number of men handle rejection even worse than women.

It is not that they are hiring women and paying them a lessor salary. That's not what he said.

The argument that because group X are favored by other programs that they can be safely ignored by this one is one that leads to feminists excluding boys from stuff 9 out of 10 times. The problem is that feminists would frame the problem as society greatly favors men and the few programs designed to help women are the crumbs. We probably should split it all fairly.

The issue is not "girls of color" it's "people of color." Stop trying to turn a racial issue into a gender one. The issue in this case was specifically about "girls of color" since they were the ones being excluded from the program (possibly) unfairly. It was already a gender issue because it was designed to help only one gender.

From just the information in the article, it would seem she has a point. In this case, they made a program that excludes girls. In the absence of any other information, that is kind of bad. Now, it is likely that there are many more programs to help girls than there are to help boys. It is also likely that girls are doing far better in schools than the boys that this program is trying to help. But, these are things that people ought to point to evidence of. People should ask what about the women…

Extremists don't represent an entire philosophy. That's true. And it is fine to say that they don't represent the entire philosophy. But while we are on the topic of minorities of activists trying to define the entire movement of feminism, let me reiterate my point that trying to address gender roles and fix root causes does not represent the entire philosophy of feminism. It is a minority of feminists that see feminism that way. Quite a few feminists even believe that everyone who believes we s…

The goal of feminism is to dismantle the culture that lies to our children about gender and equality and entitlement. It's about changing how we teach people about their bodies and their personhood. It's about saying that men cry and women assert, men feel and women do. There's no room for hate in this effort. Anybody who hates men is not a feminist. I would say that this is the goal of radical feminism (which seeks to address the root causes of the problem.) But, historically, this has not alwa…

We don't think it is wrong for women to fight for rights. We want equal rights. The difference is that women currently have more legal protection under the law than men.

Equality is not a bad thing, it's a very good thing. Many people oppose feminism precisely because they want equality. Feminists often take problems that effect both men and women and then frame them in a way that results in only women getting help with them. Is domestic violence a problem? Yes. But feminism frames it as a problem of "violence against women". Seeking equality would mean trying to help both male and female victims.

That's good to know. I looked at the little-known study cited in the article and I was not impressed. Under sexual coercion, for example, they include "Threatened to break up with you", "Tried to talk you into it repeatedly", and "Told you a lie". I don't feel like telling a lie is necessarily that coercive. Also, they count any unwanted sex as rape if the person gave you alcohol. Maybe this is just how people do these studies so they can inflate the numbers?

When two incapacitated people have sex, how do you determine who initiated it? The analogy breaks down because there is not one vendor and one consumer. It is more like there were two vendors that agreed to trade.

The only people who can confirm or deny that consent was given are the people who gave the consent. Period. That is not exactly true. You could, for example, have a video or audio recording of the person giving consent. You could have other witnesses that can testify that they heard the person giving consent. Whether or not they are capable of making a rational decision to consent is another manner. Consent may have been given, but since the person was not capable of making a rational decision, …

I remember reading a case about a politician who supported gun control who was going into an election. He thought that since the NRA types only had a relatively small percentage of the votes he could safely ignore them. But the thing he didn't properly appreciate is that for those 20% or whatever, that one issue was the most important issue. They would go out of their way to show up and vote against him just because he supported gun control. So, things went badly for him. Anyway, some issues (li…

My major problem with Feminism is that feminists often go out of their way to avoid considering men's issues.

According to the feminists in r/AskFeminists/ if there was a law that said 50% of men would be murdered on their 18th birthday, this would not be oppressive since women are the oppressed class and…

They shouldn't be mutually exclusive. It is possible that liberal feminism is the opposite side of the coin. But groups like N.O.W. which are not considered particularly radical sometimes work against equality. A lot of the criticism of feminism here applies mostly to radical feminism (and yes I do know what radical feminism is.)

Lesbian feminists also say that using a dildo is wrong because ... patriarchy. And BSDM is wrong because ... patriarchy. And gay BSDM is also wrong because all power dynamics stem from patriarchy. Anyway, giving a blowjob is just like giving someone a back rub. It is an intimate act that is often somewhat one sided.

That's very true. I think feminism should be about gender equality, but usually isn't. It is a kind of slight of hand. They claim to be about gender equality and then oppose anything that would make genders more equal unless it only benefits women. But you are right that they are running out of legitimate issues.

In the United States, whites are the majority. It is not possible for Hispanics, as a group, to vote together or collaborate together to oppress white people - they simply don't have the power to do so. By that logic, it is impossible for men as a group to oppress women. Because women are a majority of voters. Oppression is probably not as Boolean as people think. For example, it may be possible for women to be discriminated against in terms of employment, and yet at the same time have all the l…

There was one student who she admitted to having slept with and then later said that she meant that literally and that she had not in fact had sex with him.

Whether or not someone is "anti-feminism" depends a lot on how you define feminism.

So, let's use the $2,500/mo figure as an example. Assuming a 40 hours work week and 4.3 weeks in a month, that works out to a little over $14/hour.

I think misandry is also prevalent because women are not at all afraid of the backlash from posting stuff that bashes all men.

Taking the phone and running is evidence enough to charge him with theft. He can try to run some defense about how he stole the phone, but it is ok because he just wanted to ransom it to her. I doubt that will work. The evidence that he never intended to keep it is just his statement after he admitted stealing it and was trying to keep out of trouble.

They admitted to having sex with a partner even though they suspected their partner didn't want to. Their partner may still have consented. I know I have consented to sex with my ex-wife when I didn't want to because I didn't want to deal with the drama that would ensue if I refused.

That is misleading. There were two questions and one of them said,"Had sexual intercourse with partner when you knew she didn’t want to but you believed she should agree because she was your wife/partner". The other question said, "Forced partner to have sexual intercourse with you when she did not want to". So, if they answered no to the one with the word force in it, and yes to the first question, then they were still counted as using sexual violence. See http://download.thelancet.com/pdfs/jou…

They define privilege to mean only advantages that a group higher in a social hierarchy has that a group lower in the hierarchy does not.

Here: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskFeminists/comments/1hgpzv/what_groups_are_mainstream_feminists/cavmft5?context=3 Some people suggested Liberal Feminism is the most common in the US. Others suggested more modern feminism. One person linked to this PDF, whic…

I was thinking of making a game called Patriarchy. So, I want to have a feminist abducted by the bad guy, and she confronts him and says something like, "What now? Are you going to try to prove how superior to women you are by raping me or something?" To which he would reply "Silly little girl. In the game of patriarchy, women aren't the enemy. Women are the ball." Then she would be surrounded by a translucent ball and rolled unto a playing field and the player would play ping pong or soccer or …

Armed robbery is not violence either. Unless the victims resist. Then it is. Just like prison.

I bet the number of straight guys that can identify that a dress is a "designer dress" versus a non-designer dress is small. Especially, since the lack of copyright in the fashion industry makes this years designer dress the cheap knockoff next year or the year after that. Cars are a bit more of an indication of wealth. But, I have never cared one way or another whether a woman is wealthy.

But it is true that women rate men as more physically attractive based on their job. If you show online dating profiles of guys to women, they will rate guys as more attractive if you say that the guy is a doctor or whatever.

1 in 10 cars that come up behind you throw stuff at you? Or just 1 in 10 cars that are skittish about passing you? How many times have you actually had stuff thrown at you? Where are you riding where people are throwing stuff at you?

I think people on bicycles are kind of scary to pass. I am always worried that they will veer out in front of me or be startled when I am passing them. And that is when I am in a car. On a motorcycle, I would be more worried about hurting myself in the collision.

I think MR is more feminist than modern feminists. The problem with feminists is that they have a definition that sounds all warm and fuzzy about promoting gender equality. But, then the actual people who claim to be feminists advocate a lot of gender inequality. MR activists on the other hand, are (mostly) just advocating for equality. Hence, MR activists are true feminists.

I hate how they try to frame the problem as "men's violence". Despite what the feminists will say about patriarchy, if a woman hits a man, then the system is really designed to protect women at the expense of men. I mean, even if men made up a minority of the victims (which is debatable) then since when did minority rights become expendable? By their logic, if one race (let's call them smurfs) is 7 times more likely to commit crimes than another race, then shouldn't we call all crime "smurf crim…

IANAL, but it might be. You don't have to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt for slander/libel. The standard is lower. Plus, that kind of claim is pretty inflammatory. I think the issue would be whether or not the damages you could get are worth a lawyer's time or not.

The way I see it, if your goal is to pick up on a woman and she is giving you clear signals that she is not interested in talking to you, continuing to try to talk to her is a poor strategy. It is not her right to have no one talk to her. It is not her right to have you not try to pick up on her. But, at the same time, it is a good strategy to develop the skill of taking a hint. It is just sad that she had to use inflammatory language like "Schroedinger's Rapist". It is a form of slut shaming di…

She sounds a lot like Sarah Palin.

I heard on the radio that Seattle has the highest ratio of women to men in the country. If that is the case then this makes sense.

It probably does happen to women more. I think the studies do say that women self-objectify more than men. But, I think they have the cause and effect reversed. Advertisements could care less about whether or not they are objectifying women. They just want to sell stuff. If commercials objectify women then it is only because women are motivated to buy stuff based on advertisements that objectify women. The reason you see more advertisements that objectify women is only because women spend the ma…

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