I totally agree. It's definitely too easy to get the wrong idea when using that term.
/r/MensRights13/06/14 12:32 AM

It entirely depends on how you define patriarchy. I think the term is loaded and we should avoid it's use, but under the right definition strict roles for men are also caused by the patriarchal elements of our society. Focusing on how that kind of patriarchy hurts women doesn't do much to help men, though. I think that too often an MRA and a feminist are thinking of two different things when they are talking about "the patriarchy".

I think that people often speak from personal experience. When I hear someone say that sexuality is a choice, what I actually hear is: "I'm bi and choose to ignore/suppress attraction to people that have the same sex as me".

IMO, monogamy is not an explicit part of the marriage contract. In the west we usually assume that's part of it, but I don't think it's a critical (IE necessary to make it work) part of the contract. What about polygamy?

To put it another way, if I was raising a child and found out it wasn't from my seed, it would still be my child. I don't see what difference who's DNA it is. You and I? We share 99%+ of the same DNA.

P.S. Sad to see Norway is another place with the ridiculous that married men are legally expected to be the father (read: support the product of his wife´s affair, even after divorce), even if DNA testing proves otherwise. I don't see a problem with that. If you marry someone, you're basically entering a contract to start a family. To me, it doesn't matter if the kid shares 99.8% of my DNA or 99.9%, it's still going to be my kid. I'd still be pissed at the mother, but if the intention was to mak…

Too bad most doctors refuse to perform it on people who are under the age of 40 or who don't have kids. Uh, citation needed? He might try to talk you out of it since it's 100% elective and carries risks. Personally, I wouldn't bother talking to my doctor about it. I would just schedule the surgery and get it done. I'm probably not going to get a vasectomy. A 1% chance of making orgasms painful is just not worth it.

Or, that since rape usually happens behind closed doors, it's often unprovable, so the victim doesn't report it. Or, that the victim may feel too ashamed report, or reporting it may have negative consequences (rapists often put themselves in a position where their victim is somehow dependent on them), or, or... If I got raped I probably wouldn't report it :-( What's the point unless it's provable?

I think this is definitely one of those issues that goes both ways. There are plenty of guys being let-on by women who are essentially using them. However, there are also plenty of proverbial "nice guys" who think that women are obligated to put out after they are nice to them. Instead of talking about both issues each side claims that only their grievances exist. That doesn't help the situation out at all.

I think Wikipedia's definition of addiction is sufficient: Addiction is the continued use of a mood altering substance or behavior despite adverse consequences. Basically, if working out is getting in the way of the rest of your life (or becomes the absolute center of it), then you have issues. Classic hallmarks of addiction include impaired control over substances or behavior, preoccupation with substance or behavior, continued use despite consequences, and denial.

AFAIK, you're more likely to get away with rape than get convicted on a false accusation. The burden of proof is still on the accuser. That doesn't mean false accusations aren't a problem, but it's quite unlikely that you'll go to prison on the accuser's word alone. Most likely the police won't do anything without some evidence when someone reports a rape (just like any other crime). On the other hand, many universities and private institutions will hang you up to dry, but you don't really have …

"that is hostile towards outsiders" I think this the key to a lot of human behavior that appears to be sexist/racist, but isn't motivated by hate. Humans have a natural in-group tendency. I think another issue is that many still raise their little girls like delicate flowers that grow up to be women that don't do well with strong criticism -- which STEM fields thrive on. As with many issues it's generational and it's getting better and better as we raise our children to not be so stereotypically…

She feels like she can tell the author it was indeed rape, but if someone tells her that she might not know everything her daughter is up to, she's not so happy being told what she knows.

On this subreddit I automatically replace the word "women" with "many women..." or "women often...". I think that often what is being referring to is what society allows women to get away with. For example: Society tells Women that it's okay to feel entitled to male sexuality, so many women feel that way.

I'm sure most Catholics, even those that disagree with the church, still hold it as the authority that defines Catholicism. Just because someone says that someone isn't a true X, doesn't mean they're using that fallacy. It has a specific subset of requirements to fit the definition of a Scotsman's fallacy. I am not "changing the goalpost" as is necessary. A catholic is whoever is defined by the catholic church as being catholic, and anyone who does not fit that definition is not a true catholic.…

This is not a "a true scottsman fallacy". If anything it is a "Argument from authority", but the vast majority of people would agree than the catholic church is the authority in this matter, so it's not really a fallacy.

It still is. And it used to be comprised of those that thought egalitarianism was a good idea. The MRM is far from a unified movement. IMO, it's the "affirmative action" style equality of outcome that causes the sort of problems you're referring to, rather than reaching for equality.

Equality of outcome is the shittiest, most illogical goal for a society to have. I disagree. I think enforcing equality of outcome is simply idiotic, but it is an admirable goal to reach towards. I think of it as a blotter for testing how egalitarian a society is. Forcing the numbers isn't going to ensure equality, that's for sure...

He's just being extremely offensive -- enough to be punished, but I just don't see how it's such a huge deal. He was showing it to this woman for the express purpose of his non-consensual sexual gratification. He didn't rape her. He didn't threaten to rape her. The only thing he's done is break a sexual…

Flashing someone isn't a small crime- Not that I think it's okay, but how is showing someone your body parts not a "small crime"? Also, I'm fairly certain if a man held down a woman for flashing him he'd be charged with assault. Probably sexual assault. Even if it was completely unwanted, most men wouldn't think it to be a big deal. Why are women so offended by this sort of thing? Again, it's not okay by any means, but how is it such a big deal that it warrants violence?

There is a grain of truth to that. In a society where physical strength is boss, women will take a back seat to men. As technology makes physical strength less relevant, women are becoming more and more useful to society (outside of their roles in the past).

I agree, child support has it's place, but shouldn't be awarded whenever a woman needs financial help raising her children. If she had the baby expecting to get support from the father (because he agreed to it), then he should pay.

And, it's the most ridiculous argument you can make against circumcision. I grew up in america with an uncut penis. Nobody has ever made of fun it. EVER. The #1 reaction is none at all. Shortly following that is curiosity. Most american women I've slept with think it's kinda cool. Some women even think uncut men are better lovers because they're more sensitive. It's been all pro and no con for me! (knock on wood, hehe)

I really like Dan Savage's mini-speech on how it's become (somewhat) acceptable for gay men to be gay, but absolutely despicable for a straight man to be gay. As he put it, straight men are in constant fear of being labeled gay and need to avoid activities associated with gays. Like to make your place look nice? Faggot. Enjoy cheese and wine? Faggot. Dance and theater? Faggot. Anal stimulation? Faggot. Having trouble with your emotions? Faggot. I think you get the idea...

Lets not forget the "traditional marriage" arrangement; the man makes the money and the woman makes the babies. She's not leeching, she's taking care of the house. Raising children, cooking, cleaning, etc isn't a lazy day! Unfortunately, a lot of women don't think it's fair for them to do all of that kind of work, but still want to stay home while hubby works. And, he's still gotta do 1/2 the housework (for fairness). What we're complaining about here is the "Have your cake and eat it too" type.

You bring up a good point: Is taking advantage of someone the same thing as rape? It's definitely not a good thing to do, but is it rape?

Well, the bottom line is that if you are making a claim, it's your responsibility to back it up with something.

People who want paternity tests often don't ask for them in case the kid is actually theirs and would want to make it work with their partner if that was the case.

Women are attracted to successful men. It's fact of nature. Women are driven to seek out a man that can provide for a family. To be fair, men are driven to find a woman who will make a good mother - big hips for making babies, caring disposition, etc. These are our primal instincts. If we were "wild" humans, she would look for big muscles, hunting skills, etc. TL;DR - The cave-man with the most fur pelts probably also got the most ladies.

Not necessarily. Have you ever been in love? Have you ever rescued an animal? How about cheer up a kid? Have you ever done something nice just because it feels good? Guess what, you're thinking with your emotions. The problem is when you use emotions to try to justify something logically.

That article sure seems to cite "Lépine & Gagné 2008" a lot. A Google search seems to bring back 2 pages of mostly Wikipedia rip-offs. An amazon book search reveals one book written by those authors: "Vivre: Dix-neuf ans après la tragédie de la Polytechnique, Monique Lépine, la mère de Marc Lépine, se révèle". It also happens to have been published in 2008, so I guess this is the one. The question is, why not just cite the damn book?

After you get past the outrage, the statement does hold some water. Women go through intense hormonal upheaval which is supposed to make a mother fall in love with her unborn baby. The question isn't if it's ok for the woman to change her mind (it's sorta to be expected), but what's fair to both people. It's a complicated problem, but I can say that our current system is definitely unfair.

Throughout most of the human race’s sad, patriarchal history, there has been this notion that women aren’t human beings with needs of their own, but instead a servant class put on earth to serve men, a sort of biological fembot notion. Stopped reading there. Ridiculous.

If a woman was complaining about being "friend zoned" they would get the same response from me. It has nothing to do with being a man, but it has everything to do being attracted to someone, not making a move, and then blaming the other person for "friend zoning" you. Sorry buddy, but you friend zoned yourself. However, I would like to applaud the position that it shouldn't necessarily be the man's job to make the first move. In most situations one person is more attracted to the other than vice…

Over the past decade, Colorado has had one of the nation's fastest-growing rates of children living in poverty. Of course, not every child growing up in a single-parent household lives in poverty. But most studies find those kids have a greater chance of being poor. In 2008, 57 percent of Colorado families living in poverty were headed by single parents, according to the Kids Count survey by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. So it's not surprising that child advocates applaud the law. Aaaaaaaand ju…

I recently had a conversation with a woman who told me that she was way more promiscuous when she was younger, but cut it out because she felt bad about breaking all these guys' hearts when all she wanted was a good lay. Men are really not that different from women in this regard. Sure, women have a little more chemistry (to make them fall in love), but men are told to have very high standards and often a man that follows those standards and also isn't willing to 'just fuck some hot chick' are o…

I think the point he is trying to make is that most women fighting for equality are only concerned with changes that help make things more equal if it's good for women. You can't blame them for that, it's to be expected with any such movement. Basically, get rid of all the bad (for women) parts of our sexist culture, but keep the good (for women) parts. This particular example is probably not the best way to express that concern. There are better explanations as to why this is the case and this …

This might be partially explained by the fact that society discourages men to be nurses. Therefore one could reason that the men that fill the nursing profession are more passionate about their jobs than the average person. On the other hand, I'm sure there are plenty of female nurses that feel as if they've made the wrong career choice (as you would find in any profession). I presume that you could find similar scenarios for women in male dominated fields.

I agree as well. I'm mostly playing devil advocate for the Holocaust investigators. Most people wouldn't touch the issue with a 10ft pole.

What's important, IMO, is knowing where it could go if we're not careful -- very careful. Going on that same analogy: Should we talk about and question the events of the Holocaust? Yes.

Just like saying the holocaust didn't happen is technically not anti-semitic. There's nothing anti-semitic about it -- although a lot of Jew haters stand behind it. Also, the vast majority of people who have been labeled to claim the holocaust didn't happen are simply asking for verification on the facts presented (or questioning certain facts). VERY FEW of them actually believe the holocaust is fabricated.

You are mis-reading what I intended to say. You're confusing outcome with conviction. Having "Insufficient evidence" would obviously result in a not guilty verdict. This reflects one of the core principles of our justice system -- innocent until proven guilty. So you're looking for an actual legal verdict that says "We can't prove it, but he probably did it"? Either way, that's a far stretch from what I said.
/r/MensRights10/11/10 07:14 PM

or charge every person who makes a rape accusation that is not found guilty in a court of law with false allegation. This isn't fair either, but you are on to something. Just because someone is not guilty in the eyes of the law doesn't mean they didn't commit the crime (nor does it mean they did commit the crime) -- it simply says that there is insufficient evidence to be 100% sure.
