And let's not even bring data up, because of how skewed and range-restricted it already is. Girl gets assaulted. Friends and close ones provide unconditional support. People generally know this is a crime and is awful. Girl is encouraged to report this and take action. Girl chooses not to because of perceived social pressure and assumptions about outcome. If Girl reports, it's a heroic act of taking a stance. Guy gets assaulted. Friends and close ones make joke and question masculinity. People d…

Looks like it's been around for a while, but have started to pick up. Do you think users should pick a single day like #MeToo did, or continue to post at their convenience?

I never considered it sexual harassment. It was just kind of uncomfortable and awkward. If it were happening to a women I would have seen it as harassment. This. In thinking about past experiences, I was able to recall a couple of moments where I was technically "assaulted" or "harassed"; but since I didn't feel anything beyond just a little weirded out, I didn't attribute those as negative incidences. Which also brings into light how low the bar has been set, but the criteria for entrance is ex…

Thank you for sharing, and let's keep talking. It sounds like you have a lot of commonality with this ideology, as these are the reasons why MRM exists. Not trying to recruit, haha. It's just a simple observation. I share your frustration about how the #MeToo movement was carried out, and it's why I wanted to open this discussion.

Interesting thing about that. I've discussed the terminology with another friend of mine, who actually do advocacy work and is up on all the emerging trends. Right now, the technical term to promote is "people who experienced [incident]" because not everyone feels like a "victim" or "survivor" or the associated connotation. If people don't feel like it applies to them, then they're not forced to contribute. But if they want to share their experiences and thoughts, it shouldn't be discouraged for…

Because then they're accused of starting the Oppression Olympics, male version of All Lives Matter, and being unsympathetic to the female perspective to the plight. The solutions won't call out men specifically, which is some how blocking progress. It would reinforce the message that this is exclusively a women's issue.

I see what you were trying to do, and I think it's adding another element that might detract from the main conversation. Assault is a highly-charged topic, and some people might not buy that analogy. I want to turn the attention to this part, where one female mentioned how she was similarly treated by her ex. Now, we're apparently on equal footing, because this is something that a particular member of society do and no longer gender-specific. It's good because we're taking a look at these cases …

Similar experience: I was a researcher for a lab, with a particular study that involved a physiological component. As part of the data collection process, the researchers needed to apply electrode sensors on the participants' bodies. I wasn't at that one meeting, where they laid out specifically, that the male researchers/R.A.s were not allowed to prep and place sensors on the female participants, but made no mention (e.g. it was okay) if the female researchers had to place sensors on male parti…

Yeah...I've heard feminists boil down MRA to "guys who are butthurt that women want equality". So when I present the real issues facing men (the "legitimate" issues in the slideshow), the conclusion was still "yeah, I didn't read about those in my feminist literature, so it's not that big of a deal". Right, I can't wait to become/work with a feminist to seriously address these issues.

I recently had a very similar (point-for-point) conversation with someone I know too. I was surprisingly disappointed because this was a female cohort I went to school with, and I always respected her intelligence and our differences in opinions. But, when she started off with a casual, sweeping remarks on MRAs hating women having equal rights, I couldn't stand idly by. We discussed the same points you brought up, and same thing, she was in complete agreement. Still, in the end, because she didn…

In addition to the sources cited here, shifting the angle of the topic could help as well. For instance, taking the suicide example, while there might be a significant difference in the rate of death, women dominate the statistic when it comes to suicide attempts. Defeat the direct linear connection by remembering that correlation do not mean causation. If we widen the scope on sentencing to include type of crime, attorney success, damage amounted, etc., we can get a better picture of who receiv…

You won't care, and I don't care. But a lot of people have been buying into that mindset of "if you see something, say something". They'd rather err on the side of making a mistake rather than risking a pedophile carrying out his/her master plan (???). This always means that you will be bothered.

I'm sure that giving downvotes for disagreeing with your views, or name-calling will really put you in a good light. The outlined were the conclusions drawn based from your comments. I don't hold or share those views, and the focus was on your understanding of research. Which, it seems, to be pretty biased against social science research.

From your entire comment, I've gathered that: Ratings from respondents are subjective and cannot be quantified, therefore the results/evidence holds no value. Metrics should either exist to solidify quantitative evidence of a certain construct, or else their lack of objectivity render them useless. The only way to replicate a study, is to use the same exact metric. The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale is the only (or one of few) method to assess pain. But wait!

I could write a similar study to show that men in the southern hemisphere feel more pain than men in the northern hemisphere, but if my conclusions are based on subjective evidence, such as asking a million men from both hemispheres to rate their pain with a smiley face scale, then I cannot tell you how much more pain we're talking about.

Then we're just debating on the "enthusiasm" of the victim, beyond which words were said. If it's just simply based on how much someone wants it, then technically, all the wives who "have a headache" then later give in are rape victims. Rape is more than just the incident. It's also the aftermath and the consequences stemming from the situation.

It's cliched, but I role-reversed the gender and thought about the situation from that perspective: The GUY invited the girl over, fooled around, and playfully resisted while the girl ultimately just did the deed (because it doesn't take two to tango, apparently). The next day, the guy told his friend that he was raped. Friends would have laughed. If the girl found out, she probably would have made inferences to his heterosexuality, if not just calling him an idiot outright, and wouldn't hesitat…

What is perhaps most odd about that thread, is how most people would not hold the female accountable for her actions. They focused on the definition of "rape" rather than how the girl just immediately played the rape card. No consideration was given to the different action that she could have taken before deciding that she was.

Fascinating.

For example, how many of those women had both male and female bosses? For those that had only one, what were some of the inferences and perceptions about working for the other? There also seemed to be relational and task-related issues that could have been parceled out. Alt…

It's not even about the law, really. If we want to promote non-violence towards one gender, we should apply it to all. Hitting people in general is just not the best way to solve things. Adding some sort of justification would lead one down a slippery slope of grey areas and Machiavellian mindsets.

And if she starts hitting you, it's time to throw a punch yourself. That's automatic jail time right there. But, we do need to come up with a better response. It might also help if we start stepping in and breaking up the fight if we see this happening ourselves.

This is resonating with me and got me thinking.

"Logic" can seem subjective; feminists think wives/moms should gain full custody no matter what is very logical to them, for example.

He also wanted us to get up and get the scantron from his desk up front. So of course there's a mad rush and a long wait. When it was my turn, I reached out gratefully for the exam, only to receive nothing but a dirty look from him. It took me a second to realize that there was a female classmate standing kind of behind me…

My girlfriend has taken a gender studies course back when we were in college, and another friend of mine has a friend who is currently taking a gender studies course now (in a different school). Most of the comments here are correct to a certain extent. I had asked for their experiences because I was interested in taking one myself, to broaden the views of gender equality and fully understand the histories and theories. It doesn't work that way at all. I've recanted my wish after hearing about o…

Exactly! This was what I've been saying and exploring since it first came out, and got downvoted to shit because everyone's raising pitchforks and torches. It's about time.

Okay, after reading these comments, I have to step in. (Oh god, this is long, but it's worth the read if you're serious about this.) As a men's right supporter, grad student who has focused on quantitative research, instructor for a statistics lab for two years, and currently item developer for a high-risk statistics test, I'm appalled at some of the comments that have been made here. I'm not going to give you specific studies or ways to dig those research up, because I want to point out a few t…

In that sense I can see where you're coming from. It really needs to be taken in to context too. I don't think anyone has any problem accepting anecdotal evidence if the event is low-risk. If I'm doing something that effects a lot of people or cost a lot of money, I would almost always look into the research behind it. The beautiful thing is that you're not really supposed to to take study results at face value, and then shut up about it. Even though it goes through peer-review, people will alwa…

The article was under the "HOLY CRAP WTF" category, it contained sentences like "Will social psychology be able to recover?", so it's quite sensationalized in that sense. I'm not condoning what Stapel did - it's terrible and it caused a lot of damage. But, to reference an analogy I once read, to dismiss an entire field (and related areas) is like going gay because you had one bad date. I find it humorous that you can offer any libel about a field you'd like, and expect upvotes; whlie I offer my …

It's sensationalism. Also, one bad apple shouldn't spoil the bunch. Is the peer-review and publication system perfect all the time? Of course not, but there is a reason why fields like social psychology has been established for decades or centuries. I find it terribly dismissive when I hear comments like these; as if people outside of the field has had so much personal experiences and a wealth of knowledge that they can explain the entire entity of human nature better than any years of empirical…

"...because there is a rapist currently out there that targets women that dress like sluts." I think I did read about this from some report, or am I mixing the two?

Women should not be blamed for the dress if they get raped. Didn't this start off when a woman claimed victim blaming when the officer warned her about a rapist that targets women who dress a certain way?

It might be a feminist-based blog, but the article was gender-neutral. Let's not make assumptions.

Don't forget the 48% (divorce rate is about 52% now). That means there's still less than half who still stays together forever. It's also important to keep in mind that finding a mate requires years of soul-searching within yourself as well as the significant other. Didn't it also used to be that marriages were based on a a foundation of trust and support? Divorces happen because people get married for all the wrong reason. Most importantly, don't get married just because the statistics for the …

There's sarcasm, and then there's a common comment from the other side when there's serious discussion to be had. Also, don't we all know to use "/s" when we are sarcastic?

Men, always jumping to conclusions...sigh. No, I jumped to a conclusion, which I do very rarely when talking to someone online. My behaviors and cognition does not necessarily apply to the whole gender in general.

facepalm I violated my own policy to check the gender of the poster. My mistake. The college phase is really cute. I would just nod and smile and let her have her fun. It's good that you're countering with cited sources, but I have a feeling that it still won't be "credible" enough for her because it's not from her courses/textbooks. Good luck, though.

The campaign does not seek to bash men, she said. Edmonton, another participating city, has seen positive results from the campaign. “They’ve had a lot of really good feedback, some negative but mostly good feedback,” Pocock said. Emphasis by me. Yeah, let's ignore the negative feedback and label the campaign successful overall.

It seems more like "look at all the books I have, I'm right!" more than the issues of citation. I mean, you have a penis, isn't that enough credibility?

Like any comic, there is a level of exaggeration involved in order to present a point. Taken literally, true, this might not be how the feminists would have responded. However, if you look at any feminist blog especially the comments sections where a discussion like this would occur, you would find that the dialogues aren't too far from the scenario presented in this comic. I really identified with the last panel specifically, where the entire argument spirals down into just infuriating name-cal…

Not sexism? Or is that too much of a demand?

This is something that I've thought about to an extent as well. Let's just say that feminists are finally able to tip the balance - How long will dominance over the male gender be allowed until we rise up and form a "masculinists" group? If we're gonna take a page out of their playbook, it will be at least until several generations later when the original perpetrators have since been long gone.

On some level, part of me feels that no one ever really "recovers" from rape - it's something that they have to deal with one day at a time, for the rest of their lives. They can only hope to do better each time.

Perhaps Demonspawn meant that rape survivors have a choice to decide that at one point, they want to start recovering from the experience, and get on the road to recover. Furthermore, this decision is relatively autonomous compared to false allegation survivor who has no choice in when he wants to start piecing his life back to normal again.

It's difficult to dissect this blog, because there is no scope or theme to the entire post. It read like a jumbled group of thoughts the writer has had and then were poorly strung together. I admit I had to read over this several times, and I'm still at a loss. The blog seemed like a reach for semantics. There was no solid basis for the definition of "femaleness", and femini(ni)ty is assumed as an attribute dominated and defined by ogreish men. I'll take it as it is - a rant in a blog.

Agreed. I had a similar experience when I was younger, and it felt like forever when I was recovering on the ground. This is not something that you can just bounce back from by walking it off or taking a few deep breaths.

I am going off on a tangent here, but did we really not know all of these? Cracked articles are suppose to provide fresh, esoteric perspectives on common misconceptions. These five information can be picked up in almost any college curriculum. Cracked articles were always impressive and left me with new knowledge and awe, and made me chuckle a little. I'm not sure of the editors are slipping, or the writers are gaining favors somehow, but ideas like this would totally be rejected not that long a…

Most female teachers (from what I've seen) run into this problem often. They stick to sideway hugs not out of fear of losing their jobs (solely), but kids can get really grabby at times. I see what you're saying though. Double standards.

Grad student =/= not having a cent to your name There's a thing called stipends - couple of hundreds of dollars paid to you as part of your assistantship on top of a lump sum of money (in exchange for working for the school), or a fellowship, where you just get a large lump sum just to study. That, plus (if) she's receiving child support, shouldn't pose a major issue. Money will be tight, but it won't be non-existent.

The whole idea is still condescending. It proposes the notion that males will never grow and mature beyond slapping the pinball machines or the arcade joysticks, so let's section them off while the females do their favorite thing - shop (another generalization). I have an SO, and I've been to IKEA. If we're there, it's because we need to decorate our home together. I can play video games and lounge around at home (something that I'm not a fiend of anyways). I also consider myself a grown man in …

I thought it was a bunch of troll posts at first. I was surprised to find so many people siding with the employee that had done the hiring, and so against what the OP was concerned about. This is also slap in the face to my profession - which in part is about applicant fit and matching the position he/she applies for. The applicant flirting her way into the job now means the person who was actually qualified for the position no longer has the chance, defeating the purpose of the selection proces…
