NOW (and some other women's groups) did at least make a token effort back in the 80s by filing a brief supporting the registration of both men and women with Selective Service when the issue was before the SCOTUS. They had no involvement prior to that stage in the case. http://www.nytimes.com/1981/03/22/us/women-join-battle-on-all-male-draft.html

College dating markets favor men, as most colleges have overwhelmingly more men than women. This is BS. From Forbes, citing Dept of Education statistics from 2010 (based on 2008 enrollment numbers): On a national scale, public universities had the most even division between male and female students, with a male-female ratio of 43.6–56.4. While that difference is substantial, it still is smaller than private not-for-profit institutions (42.5-57.5) or all private schools (40.7-59.3).

Over the past two decades, the topic of censorship on campus has often been treated as a "conservative issue," because the fact is that socially conservative opinions are the ones most likely to be stifled at colleges and universities today. While many attempts at censorship are apolitical, you are far more likely to get in trouble on campus for opposing, for example, affirmative action, gay marriage, and abortion rights than you are for supporting them. Political correctness has become part of …

A simpler, more attainable first goal could be a lawsuit regarding Selective Service... IIRC, however, women are no longer excluded from combat divisions in the military. Would it not seem appropriate to press this issue again? I am not a lawyer, so if I am missing something, please let me know. But that would make a very good (and very headline-worthy) first victory, I think, to render selective service in its current form unconsitutional. There's a case in the works already.

I've had someone send a staff member to ask if I was related to my mom's cousin's grandsons while we were at an amusement park. I was watching her two older grandsons while she took the youngest to the bathroom to change his diaper. It didn't end up being a big deal, their grandma got back with the other kid and we went in our way, but I don't know how it may have gone had she taken longer to come back.

Whose religious views? I'd argue that a company cannot have views... I hate this ruling. The larger problem is that Congress passed (and Bill Clinton signed) a crappy law (with only 3 votes against it) two decades ago. My understanding is that Congress could fairly easily have exempted the ACA from RFRA. Congress didn't define "person" as only actual individuals for the purposes of RFRA in the definitions section of the law, so the court has to turn to the Dictionary Act to determine the meaning…

I know here in California, campus police, at least at state schools, have the same powers as regular police officers. At my school, campus police is a division of the city police force. They have a Lt., 4 police officers, and 16 security officers. I'm pretty sure campus "police" at private schools have less power. I think they're basically glorified security guards, but I know they work closely with local police as well. I know there are other states in the US that campus police have less powers…

FIRE defines a "speech code" as any university regulation or policy that prohibits expression that would be protected by the First Amendment in society at large. Any policy—such as a harassment policy, a student conduct code, or a posting policy—can be a speech code if it prohibits protected speech or expression. Examples of speech codes include: Davidson College's ban on "innuendoes," "teasing," "jokes," and "comments or inquiries about dating." Lake Superior State University's ban on "Postings…

The problem of free speech and in both society in general and on campus in particular is everyone will say "I believe in free speech, but..." The problem is everyone has a different "but" exemption that they would put on free speech. So the issue really becomes who has the power to enforce their exemptions to free speech while keeping absolute free speech for themselves. There is no exemption for hate speech.

This reminded me of a quote from The Shadow University, by Alan Charles Kors and Harvey Silverglate, about the sexual assault policy at Bowdoin College in the 1990s. Bowdoin's rules against "sexual assault" forbid sexual relations under "circumstances in which a person is compelled or induced to engage in a sexual act". Since one is normally "induced" (as opposed to coerced) to have sex by means of a mating ritual that is at least partially verbal, this guideline would appear to make the whole p…

Instead, it is demanded that the law should directly extend welfare, education, and morality throughout the nation. -Frédéric Bastiat, "The Law" (1850)

There are no political parties in the US supporting Men's Rights and feminism and traditionalism have both done considerable damage to Men as a group. I think the Libertarian position on "Personal Relationships" from their platform is about as close as it gets to supporting Men's Rights. It's rather egalitarian Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government's treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigr…

Shit, you could even make a bit of a stretch and have a biblical justification for that. From Matthew 5:27-28 You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

From what I've read in other comments, the savings is from the college fund he didn't use growing over time, not actually working at anything that makes any significant money.

The district I went to my final years of high school in is basically killing health class. They took it off the grad requirements just before last year and laid off all but one of the people who taught it at my old high school. It would actually be mathematically impossible for all students to take it over their four year school career at this point.

Yeah, my friend had fun trying to get his mom to wrap her head around that. She was bitching at him for not going in to apply to places that only let you apply online. She yelled at him because she thought he was playing games when he was filling out applications.

Yeah, I'm in pretty much the same boat here in CA. From what I see Johnson is the candidate I agree with most. It's unfortunate that third parties have essentially no chance of winning.

My dad and grandma give me shit about getting a job all the time. My dad has worked at a dead-end job with no benefits for his entire working life (while getting a degree in business management with a minor in accounting, which he doesn't use at all), starting on a part time basis in junior or senior year of high school. He hasn't had a raise in my lifetime (I'm 20), and he makes somewhere around $35k before taxes. My grandma expects that it will be as simple as walking in any store and filling …

I'm not 100% convinced that those posts aren't some kind of long troll. I've seen some posts by a few people who are apparently veterinarians that don't think the story makes a lot of sense. I'm not saying OP in that post is a liar, but I'm not totally convinced.

Google Voice* is great for situations where you would need a voicemail, as you can access it on a computer, and you can download an MP3 of the voicemail that doesn't help at this point, since it's already happened, but is a good idea in the future IMO *Google Voice is not available outside the US.

Not terribly relevant, but far more girls took AP Physics my senior year of high school than boys. I'm not saying that's the case overall, but that's what it was like. It was probably skewed by the fact that it was required for one smaller program of students. That group was kind of like a "high achieving students" program.

I don't know if this is relevant: My uncle got a divorce when his wife cheated on him and decided to move out to live with her new boyfriend. She'd fraudulently charged several thousand dollars on my grandma's credit card that my uncle was also on and refinanced his house (which he owned prior to meeting her) without his knowledge. She's mentally unstable (possibly bipolar). He ended up having to pay to fly his daughter up from LA to San Jose to spend time with his ex-wife once or twice a month.…

I know a lot of (white) people whose issue that they'd be looked down on for saying it is just because they feel it's unfair that they would be looked down on for saying, almost solely because they are white. I probably didn't word that well. Basically, they feel that no one should use it (I agree).

I'm not really sure, I'm not as familiar with this as I'd like, so I'm not really sure. I'm sure it'd be relatively easy to talk about some of the issues listed in the sidebar like false accusations, lacking social support, custody discrimination, and education discrimination. I've pretty much just been lurking here for a month or two. Even if I don't end up doing my essay on this, I'd like to get a better grasp on the issues than I currently have.

If someone raises legitimate concerns, does it matter whether they are affiliated with any specific religion? I'm inclined to think it does not.

Dihydrogen monoxide is the ultimate gateway drug. 100% of people who go on to take any other drugs take dihydrogen monoxide first, which is commonly used as an industrial solvent. We need to ban dihydrogen monoxide to save the children. Won't anybody think of the children? FTFY I made it sound more science-y
