Shapiro is entertaining in a way, but he's too far to the right for my tastes. I used to post here fairly regularly, and it was men's rights and the whole feminism/SJW thing that brought Peterson to my attention. What he says about the oppressor/oppressed narrative was a lightbulb moment, and helped me realise that men's rights is just one front in a much larger war. Whether it's gender, race or sexuality, the tactics are the same... divide people into arbitrary groups of victims and villains th…

I'm not sure how your experience of FWB is relevant, as dating isn't comparable to marriage. There's no obligation to take care of FWB, for better for worse and all that. Your FWB are probably FWB with other guys too, and that's fine. They haven't settled down yet with "the one" and can cast as wide a net as they please. As a married then separated man, my own experience backs up the OP. Personally I have no problem earning less, but my wife went out of her way to avoid bringing home more than m…

Having recently separated I have no intentions of getting into another relationship, so I guess I'm kind of going my own way and am looking forward to the future. If that was the sole focus of MGTOW I'd be all for it as a kind of support network. But for guys who don't want to settle down they obsess an awful lot about women.

You might want to check out Warren Farrell's story, as he embodies what you think men's rights and feminism should be. Unfortunately, when he began speaking up for men and boys as well as women, he was effectively cast out from feminist circles. Feminism today is more than just women's rights – it has become a profitable industry. The very concept of men's rights is considered a threat to business.

Here in Britain, abortion has become acceptable to the point where it's no longer debated. Pro-life is viewed as a bunch of religious weirdos in America trying to harass women outside abortion clinics, and if a pro-lifer ever made it onto TV or radio, they could expect the presenter to see it as their duty to personally destroy them. I'm still on the side of the right to choose, but it's been interesting hearing the other side of the argument via the internet.

Hasbro don't even care if Ms Monopoly sells or not. They probably haven't made too many of them anyways. What they want is controversy, in the press and on social media, to get the Monopoly brand talked about in the run-up to Christmas. Posting about it is playing into corporate hands, but I guess the silver lining is that ordinary people may think about these things a bit more than before.

The age where most people get to higher levels in a company (35-40+) is also the last chance saloon for career women to start a family. Men don't have this problem as they stay fertile longer and don't need time off to have a baby. It's an unfortunate fact of human biology.

What they're saying is that there is much more demand for a larger variety of women. More demand = more jobs and higher pay. That's all there is to it. Of course there is some demand for men, but it's trifling in comparison.

This has everything to do with societal labels and how we view women and kids as vulnerable by default and men as stoic and invincible. You're putting the cart before the horse. Throughout the history of mankind, women have always been more valuable due to the limited number of children they can produce. Most men could be wiped out but as long as the women were safe, the next generation would be back on track, population-wise. That's why women work safer jobs and tend not to get involved in warf…

My mother works in the private education fields. She worked in this field for 20years, but she is payed 100€ less for a 2300€ wages than her male collegue. The reasons for the "wage gap" are well known, and are not due to sexism. One of the most important is motherhood: studies show there is hardly any difference in pay between childless women and men. It makes perfect sense. If a woman chooses to raise a family, and this has an impact on her working life, she will not be gaining the workplace e…

I think a lot of women assume that they get free money just for being a mother. My soon to be ex almost cried when I explained that if we shared custody 50/50 she'd actually be paying a little child support to me because she earns more. Naturally her friends are telling her to lawyer up, and no doubt will be advising her to go for full custody so she won't be out of pocket. It's going to test her principles for sure, as our daughter wants to share her time between us equally and she's already sa…

It's not about being paid well just for winning. In 1966, the (men's) World Cup winners, England, were given a bonus of just £1,000 each (the equivalent of £13,000 today). Why so little?

Of course it would be lovely if we could all play nicely together to bring equality for all. But first you need to understand a little about the feminism machine. Unlike the MRM, feminism generates a massive amount of funding to its charitable organisations that work to help women and girls. In the case of domestic abuse for example, it is very useful for them to paint it as a binary issue with female victims and male abusers because it (a) maximises income by exploiting gynocentrism, focusing t…

My mother was the only female of five people in our home. She never complained about the toilet seat because it would have been futile. Most of the time she wouldn't know who was in there last anyway. Now I'm the only male in a female household and they're always on at me to put the seat down because they know it's me and they can gang up. Naturally I ignore them. 😈

Here's a quick story. I chose sociology at A level in the early 1990s, and in the first class the tutor loudly repeated, "all men are potential rapists", while walking up and down studying our reactions. He weeded out, through bullying, 90% of the students in the first couple of months, until he was left with just three who met with his approval. The field has little diversity of thought, yet it relies heavily on the interpretation of its observations. That's possibly why men won't take part.

You've strayed out of men's rights and into politics. Many here on the left would agree with you, but those on the right/libertarian will not.

At the rate feminists are sanitising books we should be there in a couple of years. There was one on the BBC the other day, plugging her reimagining of the classic Moby Dick.

The line on what can or cannot be done to babies using the fact that they won't remember it as justification. Where do you draw the line? Is it okay to pinch and poke babies? Slap them? Abuse them?

I found it difficult to watch due to the way the pundits and commentary teams, at least on the BBC, heaped praise on the mediocre and turned a blind eye to poor play.

By contrast, if you watch a men's match, they can be brutally honest in how they analyse defensive errors or missed opportunities.

You're right, the scene could easily have been done differently.

Do you think there's a chance she might lay a false accusation on you if you try to break contact? If so, I'd consider gathering as much evidence as possible before giving her the boot. That might mean stringing her along for a while, recording her if it's legal where you are, getting her to admit to things by text, having witnesses around.

"Toxic masculinity" is a term coined by feminists to label certain masculine traits as harmful. Whether it was a sloppy choice of words, or a conscious and deliberate act, the term itself is problematic and open to misinterpretation. If feminists care so much about words that we have to change "man" to "person" in every job title, it's curious how they allowed the pairing of "toxic" and "masculinity" if they didn't want to imply that masculinity is toxic.

I think so. It's because feminists dislike it when women are given advice on how to protect themselves.

That's because feminists are inconsistent and use whatever argument suits them best. In the case of prisons, where men have it worse, they're happy to say women are different and should therefore expect a different outcome to men. In the case of jobs and sports, the opposite is true. They demand women get the same outcome as men because they're just as capable. It's quite the feat that they're able to frame women as the victims in both scenarios.

They ignore and attack any evidence that contradicts this standpoint (see James Damore). https://thefederalist.com/2017/08/08/read-the-google-diversity-memo-that-that-everyone-is-freaking-out-about/ It would be logical therefore, if there are no differences between the sexes, to expect feminists to also seek equality in the judici…

First they'd adopt British rape law ("rapists must have a penis"), making a lesbian on lesbian rape trial impossible. Then they'd do away with the offensive term, "plaintiff", since that implies that the victim might not be telling the truth. The female judge must hold an appropriate qualification in women's studies or similar. I'm only half joking.

My infant school teacher punished a 5 year old boy by making him stand on a desk with his trousers round his ankles while the rest of the class was instructed to file past and look at his underwear. His crime was to chase the girls and flick their skirts up. Of course it was wrong, and he needed talking to, but at that age there's nothing sexual involved. Her idea of punishment was plain cruel.

I'd add biological differences to the list. Other creatures don't leave childcare to one sex or the other due to societal pressure and gender norms.

In order to win the right to mate with it, the tiny male spiders have to risk being eaten. Some decided not to play at all, and stayed at the edge. One was bold enough to approach, but a little too tentative in how it tapped her back leg, and was swiftly devoured. The successful spider approached carefully, then tapped her leg forcefully, and was allowed to climb up and fert…

When Obama was elected, there were voices amidst those celebrating the first black president, who complained that he was only electable because his skin tone was relatively light, for a black dude. When they talk about "white privilege", some see it as a sliding scale of perception.

We're not complaining though. We're fine with male models being paid less.

We're not complaining that male models earn less. We understand that the market places a higher value on female models. What we're saying is that you cannot claim to desire equality when you only pursue equality where it suits.

Nobody is disagreeing with you (except perhaps the odd crazy or troll). The point being made is the hypocrisy of feminism. If you're going to demand equal wages in sports (for example), you should damn well demand equal pay for male models too.

If only it were so simple. Break "men" and "women" into those with and without children, and you'll find that women without kids are paid at least as well, if not more than, childless men. But when children come along, mothers choose to work flexibly and fathers have little choice but to work longer hours, push for promotion, seek danger money... all to look after their family. And that's why men earn more, on average. If you think the wage gap is because employers discriminate against women, lo…

We all share the same job title and the exact same pay, but our roles are different as are our skill levels. I was brought into the team for my skills and it frustrates me that my colleagues have zero incentive to learn from me. They already get paid the same as me so why bother? As a result I get lumbered with more work, as I can do what they do as well as the more complex stuff. It's not that they're i…

Might they be distracted by their concern for her safety? Would they make different decisions? In the elite sphere that the SAS operates, these variables could jeopardi…

I only caught the last couple of minutes where Rosa Parks made her stand, but what struck me was the outrage, anger and aggression of the white male bus driver, and how they contrasted this with the horror, sympathy and sadness of the white female Doctor.

On the one hand, I don't care too much about this particular character being played by a woman.

Not quite so simple. You need to know how many men's matches went to three, four and five sets, and how many women's matches went to two and three. Edit: in early rounds, top seeded players usually blow their weaker opposition away, so men's matches are mostly 3 sets, maybe 4. Women's are mostly 2. The longer matches tend to occur in the latter stages of the competition. This is why more detailed stats would be useful.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. You're absolutely correct. We all know Serena's claims of sexism were a load of unfounded bullshit.

If you are a vulnerable adult in the UK, suffering abuse or mental health problems, or anything, and in housing need, it is alarming to know that Alison Inman, the new president of the Chartered Institute of Housing, is a feminist who works for Women's Aid, is very concerned about the plight of women and children facing domestic abuse (especially women), and doesn't give a damn about men. Okay... With official domestic abuse report rates currently standing at 60/40% female/male, it is very worry…

Serious question. I understand how MGTOW can have benefits on an individual level—it's basically bachelorhood by another name—but why do you think it would do anything more? We know about male disposability. We know that millions of men being killed in war hardly dents the population.

The scary thing is how much credence the news outlets gave to Serena's claims. They didn't evaluate her allegations.

No, they got right on the phone to a bunch of feminists, most of whom know nothing about tennis and hadn't even watched the match, to get their opinion.

Sorry that's incorrect. There's another offence, serious sexual assault, which in the eyes of the law is equivalent in seriousness to rape.

"Rape by deception" is a bit of a funny one. A few years ago there was a woman who somehow managed to trick her female friend into having sex with her while believing she was someone else (and a man). The case was described as "rape by deception" but the crime she was actually convicted of was sexual assault. Reason being, in English law, rape is strictly defined as penetration with a penis, and sexual assault/serious sexual assault cover penetration with anything else. Now supposedly, serious s…

Enough people must have commented about Metoo that she edited her post to acknowledge the fact. She then modifies her complaint, saying her boss should apply the "no closed-door-one-on-one-meeting" rule across the board, to men as well as women. As someone who was enjoying the unintended consequences of Metoo, her suggestion feels like letting the Metoo harpies off the hook. But the egalitarian in me feels she makes a good point. Dammit.

Hello. If you want to be openly feminist that's fine, but you'll draw a lot of—often impolite—comments pointing out the flaws of feminism and areas where it's wrong.

Feminists tell us that women are strong and can handle anything that a man can handle. They say treating women like children (by, say, not letting them be soldiers or firefighters) is demeaning and misogynistic, and by dismantling these perceptions of women as "weak" they're bringing about equality. That sounds reasonable enough to me. It's not only in employment that women are treated as less capable than men. It is also misogyny that the police are far less likely to arrest a woman for committ…

Feminism doesn't run the world or government, just their own movement. I beg to differ. In the UK, feminists hold many seats in government. And feminist lobbyists, with the support of feminists in the media and feminists in the judiciary are getting new laws created that give preferential treatment to women with the assistance of feminists in the House of Lords.

I work in UK public sector. There are more women than men in leadership positions [edit: in my workplace], and the further down the pyramid you go, the proportion of women gets higher and higher.

Similar stats for Britain. However, are the respondents being truthful? Are women more likely to under-report and are men more likely to exaggerate how many partners they've had? I've heard it said that if your female partner discloses how many men she's slept with, you should double it. Obviously that's not a hard and fast rule, but it may have an element of truth.

People don't turn into impulsive children after a couple of drinks. They become disinhibited. You don't appear to understand the difference. An inhibited person might not have the nerve to let someone know that they like them. After a few drinks, their inhibition is lowered and they become able to flirt and signal their previously hidden desires. This often leads to consensual sex.

From your initial post: but feminists aren’t ... defending these women getting lenient punishments Oh but they are. This is one of the hypocrisies that really grates.

Women can work a 72 hour week in a top job and why shouldn't the man look after the kids? And yes I'm pretty much in agreement with this point of view in most cases. But at the same time, femin…

I think you're pretty much correct, and it's essential that we understand what makes a feminist a feminist so we can tackle their beliefs. Know your 'enemy'!

For these guys you also need to consider their protective attitude towards women, which isn't necessarily taught. It's an instinct most of us have, that is triggered by the constant portrayal of women as victims of non-feminist men. And nev…

A big part of the reason why women harassing men is not "as big an issue" is not because it doesn't happen, but because it's not taken seriously.

How old is your data that links promiscuity to personality problems? If it's older than 5 years or so it's probably worthless due to shifting attitudes towards sex. Today, people are promiscuous because it's the norm, but go back a few years and those having lots of sex would have faced enough shaming to make them think twice.

What pisses me off the most is how their argument is the exact opposite of the feminist arguments for women in the workplace. At work, women can do anything men can do.

And here's where I chime in to say that, in Britain, rape is defined as penetration "with a penis", so women cannot be charged with rape. Instead they may be charged with serious sexual assault.

There is a transition period. The older ones will retire earlier as planned. The youngest will retire at the same age as men. For the ones in between, their retirement ages are split into bands.

Also, with this being the BBC, we wouldn't be depriving them of advertising revenue anyway, so... Just a thought for discussion, don't shoot me.

Hmmm. Just last year, Marielle Forstrup came under fire for some advice she gave in her agony column. The advice-seeker's boyfriend had a low sex drive, and Mariella advised her to dump him if he failed to up his game. Naturally, people gender-flipped and asked whether she'd give the same advice to a sex-starved man (if she won't give you any, dump her and find someone who will). The Daily Mail wrote an article about it. Now here is Mariella again, but now she's the one doing the gender-flipping…

Uh, that's how universities work. They pick a subject and study it, even if it's been studied to death already. Maybe they want to use different methods to previous studies. Maybe there's a new perspective that no-one has thought of yet. When these studies are published, they often get picked up on by the press. For that alone we should be in favour.

I get where you're coming from. In workplaces without a strict uniform policy, women can wear pretty much anything they want, within reason, while men are more restricted. The reason, I feel, is that feminism caused a massive stink about women being told what to wear (ie, skirt is too short, too much cleavage showing etc) and no manager will dare say those things lest they are accused of sexism. Men, however, are still fair game for managers to control, as they can do so without repercussion. My…

All I'll say about affirmative action is that it's a tool of the SJW that encourages groups to acquire and maintain victim status.

Don't panic, it's okay, girls can choose to join Girlguiding too, if they feel unsafe having a few boys around. There's something to suit everyone every girl.

Totally. I grew up in 1970s/80s Britain, and the World Wars were very prominent in every kid's mind. We played in abandoned air raid shelters, played army, had model planes and tanks, and collected war souvenirs, even German ones. We watched war movies, read Spike Milligan's books and laughed at John Cleese upsetting German guests in Fawlty Towers. My neighbour Josef had numbers tattooed on his wrist, yet he never minded when we goose-stepped around giving Hitler salutes. Nobody cared what we di…

Ah, grasshopper, the victor in the toilet seat power struggle is decided by numbers. I grew up in an all-male household, except for my mum. She gave up all hope of having the seat kept down before I was even born. Today I'm the only guy in an all-female household, and I'm under pressure to conform to their seat-down rules. The middle ground is that everyone should put the lid down, but given you're the only guy, you don't have much bargaining power. Leave home, and if you have children, hopefull…

BBC Radio 5 Live has, just this morning, interviewed a woman who has created an organisation, Lads Need Dads, that provides adult male mentoring for children who don't have access to men in their lives. As well as offering emotional support, the boys are also taught traditional male skills. It operates in various schools in the south of England, and has reportedly been a big success. Unsurprisingly, there has been a backlash from people who feel this is an attack on women. https://localgiving.or…

And the increasing wage gap would be used to show how women are still oppressed, lol.

It was sarcasm, as indicated by the /s. We're dead against the term.

I doubt he's too concerned. He's getting towards the end of his career, so probably feels he can speak freely without worrying about where his next job is coming from.

I couldn't care if they had 100% women, provided they got their positions on merit and the employer didn't use the fact to virtue signal.

You must have skipped the part where they boasted that 63% of their contributors this month were women. Edit for clarification: It's the fact that they are boasting that irks me, not the percentage of women.

I don't need an academically approved paper to tell me what qualifies as racism. Especially when you consider that academia is further from freedom of thought and expression than it pretends. Consciously or unconsciously, academics toe a particular line, and if they didn't they certainly wouldn't get peer approval. I prefer to remain a Fool. The Emperor has no clothes. And this is racism.

They aren't looking for equal weighting. Look at the figures. And besides, who but a bigot would think they cannot be represented by someone unless they are the same race/sex/whatever?

So is it okay for shooting/hunting websites to insist on white male contributors?

Spend some time in r/Menkampf and learn what it sounds like when a group you won't waste your time on is swapped for another.

This sub is not just men. A fair number of women post here too, and are highly thought of. It is also international. It attracts posters from any country where feminism is overreaching, including India. If you think we're made up entirely of white male republican Americans, that's little more than a testament to the propaganda against us.

They're simply parroting what they hear every day in the media. Try putting some facts to them. True feminists will melt down but most women will listen with an open mind. School is a bit different, as girls tend to stick together; a mentality that is easy for feminist teachers to exploit. Thankfully, most grow out of it.

I see they are big into social justice, so these guys know their place is at the foot of the pecking order. They have to display obedience and grovel for the scraps that are thrown them.

Pick a small area, like the wage gap, and study it in depth. Learn the feminist arguments, as your teacher is likely to put them to you, and have your rebuttals ready. Your delivery is very important. Try not to get angry/exasperated. Stay pleasant and present the facts, with evidence. Don't become confrontational, even if you have to repeat the same point over and over because they aren't listening. If you can be charming or use humour, your audience will pay more attention and find it harder t…

Seconded. Also, the Uber study demonstrates there is an earnings gap but proves unequivocally that it has nothing to do with discrimination, at least not in that particular example. The Freakonomics podcast is well worth a listen.

We often get moderate feminists coming here to say that feminism is wonderful, and the feminists who work against equality are a tiny, vocal minority. What you just read is a thorough rebuttal written a while ago by Karen Straughan. It explains some of the ways mainstream feminism works against equality. It gets copy/pasted here quite often. Saves time.
