This is part of a broader issue that affects both men and women. So I don't agree with her entirely. Marriage is also a bad deal for women. We have a divorce rate of 50%+ (which goes up to ~75% for second/third marriages), we have large incident rates of infidelity, unhappiness and infrequent sex in long-term marriages. 80%+ of divorces cite lack of sex for the reason.... We talk about seeing a therapist and 'talking about it', well marriage counseling is a joke. It's been big since the 80s and …

I have no issue with acknowledging that there are victims who do not report DV, but without accurate methods of estimating those who do not report, we can't go beyond saying 'it's probable that there's more victims than what's reported'. If you're setting legislation, campus policy or inventing 'rape culture' theories; you need to base the victimisation rate figure on something you can take to the bank. Not appeals to emotion on unlikeliness to report.

Most women I've met want to nest; that is settle down in one location, procreate and adopt a 'mum' persona. I want to explore; be free to travel overseas every year and have new, exciting experiences. Keeping my individuality; my 'nlakes' persona. I suspect many men feel the same way. Either women need to budge from their traditional views of relationships or men need to be more prone to settle.... Nobody is at fault here at an individual level...

If I stick my hand in a blender and turn it on, why should anyone feel sorry for me? A blender isn't sentient, has no concept of self or others. It doesn't understand the ramifications of 'being turned on', it just simply follows the on instruction. People threatening to kill or rape Anita know exactly what they're doing and weren't 'driven' to do it, they're just assholes.

I don't think it's as nefarious as you think. She just says whatever seems plausible to her beliefs at the time, like many SJWs. This is probably more likely; giving her the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps she just isn't a thorough researcher and thinks knee jerk reactions are facts.

She's the feminist's answer to Sean Hannity. I'd wager that she doesn't even believe half of what she says, but she knows that controversial statements like this have an audience, which gets her attention and allows her to make a living as a writer/speaker/public figure, which is what she wants. It also pisses off enough people to threaten her (not her fault), which fuels her victim machine, and grants her more sympathy... Sympathy not just for her circumstances (which she deserves, nobody shoul…

Don't fall back on the privileges of womanhood. Batting your eyelids and saying sorry isn't enough. You need to make this right. One, seek professional help. Very few abusers improve with help, yet alone without help. Two, pay for all the shit you broke or damaged (don't cheap out). Three, ask your SO if he wants time away from you. If he does, be cool with it. No moodiness when you see him after.

He's a misogynist no doubt. But feminists blaming society for his actions, as in "the patriarchy" compelled him to kill these women; is contemptible bullshit. The fact he's a mentally ill sociopath is behind these killings, not an anti-woman society.

It's common for a lot of feminist women to be irrationally hysterical about men. Whether it's "rape culture" or other nonsense like this, they think it's the men who need to modify their behaviour (e.g. teach men not to rape) when the reality is it's those women who need to modify their behaviour (e.g. recognise how small a subset of men are rapists and not act so bigoted and fearful). Stop putting the burden on men to change when it's your irrational fear causing the problems.

Sorry, but if you physically assault someone first, they are under no obligation to take into account your weaknesses or limitations as they defend themselves. This is what happens when you raise girls telling them "It's never okay to hit a woman", instead tell them "it's never okay to resort to violence unless it's self-defence".

A lot of reddit mods are quite sympathetic to feminism (and misandry). They abuse their positions quite regularly to create "feminist friendly" / no thought zones, in all different subs.

I remember when this came out, feminists lost their shit, screaming in their shrill voices "this is offensive to womyn!!!". It seems to be fair game to me. If feminists can tell men they can stop rapes, we can tell women they can stop false-rape accusations.

Feminism is just equality between the genders... /s Feminism is as feminism does. It's a religious ideology which requires complete acceptance of its dogma, it creates hostility internally to generate group-think so there's no divergent opinions or serious discussion other than circle-jerking, it seeks to pretend middle-class white hetro women "have it hard" when they have it just the same as middle-class white hetro men.

The real question is why female-dominated jobs, such as teaching, social support services, nurses, and office professions pay less than male-dominated jobs such as computer programming, engineering, and construction professions. Valuing jobs that require similar levels of education and expertise differently is one of the most insidious structural forms of sexism. …

If a man leaves a woman (or vice-versa) and has no kid to raise (or is the sole-custodian), why should the ex-wife be entitled to a cent of his POST divorce cash-flow?

At the end of the small survey, it turned out One in Four women were "raped" (where rape included sexual harassment, sexual assault and buyers remorse".)

I agree with nearly everything you said, however I don't believe it's a conscious "sexual strategy of women". If anything, we've inherited a system where being a man-ATM is upheld to be noble.

If you tell a guy yes but think no in your head and hate the whole experience; you weren't raped, he wasn't a rapist. You are to blame, not him. In order to revoke consent you need to either stop all sexual acts (i.e. walk away) or (the most preferable option as it actually communicates what you're thinking/feeling) say "stop, I don't want this to continue".

Patriarchy exists insofar as men outnumber women in positions of influence. However, that is all that can be said. You cannot infer that men are favoured in legislation or social policy.

There's an appendix, which one day I will PDF, out of a Warren Farrell book that cites that in nearly 60% of cases; a child does better in a single-father scenario than in a single-mother scenario. It's best when both parents get custody. However, in single-parent only arrangements, children do better emotionally and academically, to name some of the criteria cited. So on that statistic alone, I'd say the split would be 60/40.

Men actually need these shelters more than women, which is what made reading that article so sad. Not only is non-reciprocal DV committed mostly by women, most laws that deal with DV situations remove the man from the abode (whether it's his, joint or otherwise).

The answer is simple. Women have the power over children right now. i.e. if she really wants one, she can trick her SO into knocking her up and he can't force her to abort. A male pill takes away this power. Granted, most women are sane and this is not an issue for them. But it's true for most of the women who oppose a male pill.

The problem with "rape culture" or "victim blaming" is this. There are reasonable measures to take to avoid being the victim of a scumbag. Such as, not getting blind drunk. It's called "playing it safe". However, crazy feminists like RW think this is victim blaming. It's not, it's called being responsible. Victim blaming is saying "you were raped because you were drunk". Nobody I know advocates that position, all they say is; make sure to take care of yourself and don't take unnecessary risks be…

Mainstream feminism supports male contraception. Only the loopy fringe opposes it, on the basis "It will enable men to have less risky sex, making it easier to objectify and rape women".

I love that chip on the shoulder feminists have: But you have to admit we (read: I) have it worse than men. Presume to know the life of someone, assert you've had it worse. Feminist logic.... College feminism is victimology plain and simple. Spoilt, entitled Western girls who desperately want to be a victim. "We can't get jobs [that men can]". Don't you just love how feminists quote this like a fact, when all the proof is to the oposite. Equal employment laws, affirmative action, the mancession …

I think some women are quite happy being "helpless, poor creatures needing support" when it comes to getting settlement from a divorce. They rather like that gender role when it suits them. Other times though, they're independent women who don't need no man's help. I think that, since the divorce is really her fault (i.e. her cheating) any legal costs or costs incidental to the divorce, should come out of her share. Same for when a man is 'at fault'.

In the mind of the Valenti-style feminist, all men are sexist scum if they don't crawl around on the floor whaling about being sorry for contributing to " rape cultureTM ". It doesn't take much courage to do what Valenti does in an environment where women's hate speech is protected under "the cry of the oppressed" while every reasonable criticism, like questioning feminist hate statistics, is labelled as misogyny.

The statistics do matter because you're greatly inflating the number of men who are considered to be "wife/gf beaters" and policy is set according to these false statistics.

Things like this are annoying because there is no one reason why anyone cheats.

Per the CDC, it was .01% of females in 2005 who came in as a result of partner violence. I like how she calls out feminism for what she calls "Hate Statistics".

Women's lived experiencesTM are facts, under feminist theory. This is the problem with the intricate web that feminism has spun. It's impermeable to reasonable criticism and there is no way you can challenge it without being labeled either a misogynist or some kind of gender-traitor (if you're a woman). Your average gender-feminist is not open to the possibility that her feeling bad about an issue isn't tantamount to the factual establishment of sexism.

I don't agree with this, if one gender is restrained the other should be unrestrained. Putting us both back "in the box" as it were, does nothing good. Neither men nor women need cages. A lot of women complain and say "men need to talk more and be open with their feelings" I agree. But it's also true for women that they need to "not sweat the small stuff and complain less often". If women want to be free to talk like this in the office, they should allow men the same freedom; and vice-versa.

And this is just what he hasn't paid yet, if you include what he has paid.... it's in the millions. Unless you have 100 children, you don't need $800,000, nor do you deserve it! Support payments should be (1) easily affordable for the paying party, (2) not send a person bankrupt, (3) based on realistic necessities and (4) cut off if the recipient party refuses to work. Furthermore, spousal support shouldn't exist. Financing your own lifestyle is called being an adult.

There was actually a study done, which if anyone has - please link, that pretty much said men are much more likely to be okay with supporting their wife than wives are likely to be okay supporting their husbands; in pretty much any situation. Be it child rearing or returning to work from injury. What made this worse was that; stay home mothers were more likely to be supported with less conflicts than stay at home fathers in the same circumstances.

Men being forced to pay for benefits to females. What's new? Family planning is good practice. Male taxpayers are paying for themselves almost as much as for women.

Children do best, after divorce, when things are maintained as close to how they were pre-divorce. Pulling a kid out of a school, removing them from their friends and social group, puts a lot of pressure on someone who is already under a lot of pressure.

If one parent makes $120,000 and the other makes $25,000. For example, the kid might have private school fees of $10,000 per year. Asking the low income earner to come up with $5k is a big ask. In rare cases, I see a need - for the benefit of the child - for small child custody payments to be made. But nowhere near the ridiculous amounts that are being paid now!

Secondly, your metaphor doesn't really apply given that I'm not precluding socially determined gender. Remember, feminist assert that gender is purely a social construct. In that case, you only need to show examples of innate gender to tear their theory appart. They don't have to be cases of purely innate gender, it can be a mix of innate a…

I love the double-standard too. Feminist women love to crap on about how oppressed they are and as an oppressed minority people ought to listen to what they have to say, as we're all too privileged to really understand. Yet when transmen and transwomen tell these feminists how they feel regarding gender-identify, these feminists apparently forget their prior rhetoric and shout "NO! GENDER IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT". I'm genuinely embarrassed for these feminists and how stupid they look.

This is just typical moronic feminist logic! Check this quote out: Transsexualism, by its nature, promotes the idea that it is "natural" for boys to play with guns and girls to play with Barbie dolls. The idea that gender roles are biologically determined rather than socially constructed is the antithesis of feminism. Read the last sentence again. The existence of transsexuals PROVE that gender is biologically innate; this doesn't fit with the crackpot feminist belief of socially constructed gen…

This is the social cost when you spend vast amounts of resources on women's issues and nothing on men's issues. Jack Nicholson's character in "As Good As It Gets" said it best when asked how he writes female characters so well in his novels: "I think of a man and take away reason and accountability".

Men definitely have it easier, on average, when it comes to sleeping around. However, we also aren't trusted around children.

This is the problem with the male-privileged hypothesis. Men as a group get overlooked for funding, for support and for equality because a very, very small number of men increase our group average. Most guys aren't any more privileged than most women and more often than not, populations of the most disadvantaged are men.

This is why we need to tear down the image of women = victims. This victim card allows sexists like Hanna Rosin to say the most bigoted thing and get away with it. A guy on youtube, ArgusEyes, makes a good point in one of his videos. In this culture of women as victims; it's actually now that we find women, on average, are more sexist than men.

Did you later, when you began to regret it, decide that it was someone else's fault? That you had been duped, victimized, or abused? Or did you think to yourself, "That was really stupid of me, to do that thing" and then resolve to avoid that stupid thing in the future? A brilliant point! Caveat emptor. Adults should own up to making their own poor judgements and decisions. Feminism seems to encourage blaming others for a person's own mistakes or poor judgement.

Myth: One in four women in college has been the victim of rape or attempted rape. To add to your post, the question the survey asked of the girls was this: Did you ever have sex that you felt pressured to have?. If you answered yes, the 'researcher' counted that as rape. That's how we arrived at the fictitious one in four number that feminists cite ad nauseam (unfortunately even the moderate ones are unaware of how flawed this research methodology was, the fanatics simply don't care).

I've snuck into the odd women's studies lecture back in my Uni days (not that long ago) and if someone, man or woman, said this - they'd be booed out of the class.

Another thing in this article which irks me is the view which appears prevalent in society; that women who mess up do so because of men. When women mess up, it's because a man forced them to do it.

Reading fail. Yes, gender roles are bad. Nobody is advocating them. But the simple fact remains the pay-gap has nothing to do with oppression or sexism. It is best explained by choices men make that women don't. Women are free to make those choices that men make now, if they want a career. Likewise, men wanting a family are free to make the choices women make to have more time with the kids. There is no real obstacle stopping women from having a career and men from having a family.

The same can be said for feminists. If you take 2 years off your job, don't get a managing position ahead of a man and make less that that man - it isn't patriarchy. It's called more experience on the job. Yet if you're a woman, society lets you call it patriarchy because your feelings are more important than men's feelings.

I'd rather a few criminals go free, than a single innocent be imprisoned for a crime they didn't commit. After all, western democracies believe in innocent until proven guilty - do they not? Also the implication of the feminist attitude here is rather insulting. It implies that women don't lie whereas men do; or in other words, when con…

It's kind of sickening that we live in a time where anyone can sue for defamation if you so much as call someone incompetent at their job. However, when women level false rape accusations they can generally get off with no punishment whatsoever. The sentence of 2 years jail is actually quite reasonable, but it's being predicted to be completely overturned. Somehow as a society we've decided that being falsely accused of rape and publicly shamed has no damage on a person's life and therefore warr…

It's easier to be charitable with someone else's money. No saying that this is the case with all women, biologically they might have a higher propensity to altruism to unrelated parties than men.. but based on that article alone it's obvious that women have a higher percentage of funds they did not earn than men would.

The issue here isn't the DIY sperm donation, but how - when it comes to children - most women can't be trusted. If your interests compete with the child's interests, she will choose the child's interest every time (even if it means totally screwing you over) no matter what prior agreements or contracts she made in the past to you. The lesson here is; no matter how much you love/trust the partner you're with: (1) avoid being recognised as de facto (as it has the same liabilities as marriage) and …

Feminism is partially responsible here. Although not all feminists think that rape is a male-only crime, there is a significant number who do think that. Over time feminism has managed to push, into the zeitgeist, the idea that rape is a male-to-female crime. This has created the social image of "man = rapist" and "woman = victim".

My argument, that sexism is not responsible - or at least not the prime reason - for low numbers of girls in engineering is superior to the argument many feminists (in Australia) made; which was "girls are told they are stupid and bad at maths from a young age and therefore are pushed out of engineering whilst they're still crawling".

Women believe that the word "women" is preloaded by the inclusion of the letters "men", such that it makes them second class citizens Precisely, it comes preloaded with letters - not meaning.

Although you've described the etymology of the word lad, you're way off the mark.

Can I ask in what way? Because I don't see it.

If you're not Australian, I can understand why. You really need to understand how the words "lad", "lady" and "ladette" are used in our society. The masculine lad is made feminine to be 'ladette' to keep its reference to maleness, thus implying that "ladettes" behaviour is male in character. Since it's only ever used as a pejorative and intentionally has maintained it's male over-tones; it clearly reflects societies belief that drunken disorder (and so forth) are male characteristics that women …

I read it over at 2X, it's a good article. The feminists that are anti-science are nuts. Calling science a 'patriarchal tool' is absurd. It has mechanisms to weed-out people with agendas, work is peer-reviewed, findings are often re-tested, it does not hold its views once proven wrong, it puts emphasis on objectivity and it cannot be political (whilst it can be politicised, the activities of science itself are not political).
/r/MensRights08/06/10 02:38 PM

Correct. As I said: Ladette isn't a word. It takes the masculine word "lad" which is already used as a pejorative in Australia and adds a feminine suffix (ette). The purpose of the suffix is to imply that misbehaving women are acting like men, which implies that misbehaviour is a male trait. Society, comprising of both men and women, need to fight back against the notion that misbehaviour is a male trait.

The name ladette describes "women who act like men (i.e. lads)" and has sexist innuendo built into it. The real word is ladies, but people use ladette when they want to imply women misbehave because they emulate men. It's a joining of the masculine lad with a feminine suffix (ette). Ladette only has negative connotations and it is always used for misbehaving women. It implies that misbehaving is an inherently male trait; that's why the stem of the word is the masculine "lad".

I think it's relevant. Religious fanatics everywhere have been standing in the way of gay parents from having children. As MRAs campaign for equality, we should put our weight behind this noble cause and force legislators to recognise the rights of gay couples to adopt/IVF/etc. Also, it's even harder for gay guys to have kids than gay women for obvious reasons, so I think this is an asymmetry that MRAs need to fix.

Does that mean then that for those who don't snoop around, it's not cool to suggest the test? Yes, because the reason that would justify the test i.e. the other partners snooping - is not present. If they can understand what it is to be insecure and want to find out info, then they should accept their partner's insecurity- they'd be hypocritical not to.

Irrelevant. Read my post properly. It's not an exercise in declaring all women as serial-snoopers. It's an exercise in stating that some women do snoop with no good reason to find out info; and by that rational a paternity-test, with no reason to think you're not the father, is equally okay.

Sorry enso13, it is not my intention to imply that only women snoop in this regard.

Just as a counter-point to people saying "I would be offended if my SO required a paternity test".

What a dumb-ass. People like her are the reason that lawn-mowers have warning labels. Also, $100,000 for a Woman's Studies degree? I went to the best Uni in my little state of South Australia and I walked away with two real degrees (as in, allowing me to get a job I otherwise wouldn't have gotten) and a USD equiv debt of $12,000. Is this $100,000 for tuition alone? Or are student loans in the US for more than just tuition?

Putting something in bold and italics does not necessarily make it so. But qualifying an assertion with "I spent 5 years studying politics and philosophy" does make it so? Appeal to authority? There are several economic arguments that; (1) show how equality of outcome ≠ equality; for example trade-protection and the resulting consequences of quotas and price-protection, and (2) show how equality of opportunity is the most equitable situation for all parties in the market (under perfect competiti…

'patriarchy' is a concept which is obviously problematic but under constant review by most of the feminists I know.

That sucks mate; I hope you're doing okay in spite of everything.

What 'hurts' most about DV is not the pain of being hit, but the fact someone whom you loved can do that to you. So DV effects men as much as it effects women.

It's unfortunate that a child gets born against the father's wishes. But once that child is born, the argument ends. Period. I agree, kind-of. The father should be free to opt-out before birth; if they don't opt-out.. congratulations dad. Of course, this changes if the mother withholds the pregnancy. If the mother hides it; he is opted-out by default and may choose to opt-in. As to the question of terminating fatherhood, it is important to do so equitably. Depending on the parents role in the ch…

I wouldn't quite put it like that. I think a lot of feminists are victim to meta-oppression. Being feminism oppresses the feminist by telling them they are indeed oppressed by society. This victim-mentality demotivates, depresses and enrages the feminist; making life harder. They look at how they feel and call it patriarchal oppression, when really the source of their anger is the disenfranchisement feminism instills; by telling the woman how much harder life is for her.

Feminism will do that. Some of them have it all figured out: men have everything, women have nothing. Everything that women don't approve of is a patriarchal tool of oppression. Men who don't listen to feminists on how to fix themselves are sexist pigs, because feminism holds the monopoly on equality. Men are the ones who are broken btw, women are just victims of patriarchy, (which men faultily get blamed for creating). Smugness ensues and chances of an intelligent discourse with them are nil.

Maybe the censorship of differing opinions on MRA and feminist sites is because people were drawn out to those groups because of personal life events.

According to Dan Savage, he has said if a S.O outright says "no sex for you", you're morally obligated to cheat and get it elsewhere - I am inclined to agree. For women to understand this position, consider this ladies: Your husband/bf says "I'm not going to be telling you I love you any more and I will only spend 1 hour a week with you". What do you do next? Telling a partner, no sex, is a form of abuse and the partner that denies sex has tacitly given approval to cheat.

Downvoted? Some people just can't handle the truth about abortion. But please, hold onto your delusions if it comforts you and validates your beliefs. After all, if facts shake your ideology - it's clear that the inconvenient facts should be shed, rather than to change your thinking.

I have no prior dealings with atomicparrot, but I can find nothing wrong in what they say and no feminist dogma either. When most pregnancies are aborted, the embryo has less consciousness than a common fly. Calling something by name of what it could be creates all kinds of problems, better to call a thing by what it is. Aborting an embryo does not equate to baby murder by any rational understanding of science.

I have given you an upvote, because you're 100% correct. There are a lot of appeals to emotion in that article, but there are some valid points to salvage from that shipwreck of an article. Namely how the 'right to choose' is exclusively female. I think some people here feel they have a lot to loose if they're forced to recognise the fact that abortions are not murder in all but name. Simply because it's easier to demonize women if it's true that embryos = people.

I’d like to correct an error if I may; abortion isn't 'baby killing'. A blastocyst is no more a human than the mole on my ass. Everything we understand about neurology and embryology and science in general confirms this. Only emotions and religious dogma contradict this factual position; and therefore are not worthy of attention. As to the question of terminating fatherhood, I fully support this option but I think it is important to do so equitably. Depending on the parents role in the child's l…

FTFY. Sometimes it does. Either way the situation is not helped by the woman telling the guy "Yeah, it's fine if you go out with your friends tonight," and then the next day scream at him for never spending enough time with her, and citing how he went out with his friends the night before as an example. By ‘enough time’ a lot of women define that as near exclusive time, with bugger all time with friends. In fact if a guy spends a 4:1 split between gf and friends; this is an outrage to those inse…

Using your pet or worse, your kids, as pawns to "teach her a lesson" I wasn't actually recommending that Alanna, it was suppose to point out a hypocrisy in conduct between how women like that treat their partners vs. other things in their lives. No, it's not your job to "fix" her, but sometimes it's worth the effort. To which she replies, perhaps in tears, 'why am I the one with all the problems, why are you so perfect to fix me'. It's not our job to fix anyone but ourselves, so laddies; grow up…

An abuse that women almost exclusively engage in is when they do not communicate or outright lie about 'their approval for your choices', and it can be something as minor as seeing friends. They approve of what you ask of them, only to later abuse you for doing something they said they were okay with; with either shouting and tears or the passive-aggressive bitch special; the silent treatment. Then you're supose to appolgise when they're the ones 100% in the wrong; on doing this they never learn…

I don't think you can be both. You have to be a brooding clingy douche who has no life outside of his gf and only lives to serve her (some girl's narcissistic dream i.e. twilight fans) but then on the other hand you need to be outwardly a man, to your friends and society in general. And therefore engage in things like ogling women down the pub, making comments to your mates like 'i'd tap that'. I don't see how you can reconcile the two. You may have traits from both camps, but I don't think you …

I understand that false reports are harmful, and in fact they are harmful to men, women, femininsts non feminists and everyone in between. But as men, why is there a rallying around men who have been accused of rape? Because it's merely an accusation. The real question is why feminists and I guess society in general believes a woman's tear-filled accusation is enough to convict someone of rape. And how to even look for facts and evidence in the case is somehow offensive to the allegedly raped wo…

This only proves that innocent until proven guilty is the right way to go about justice. It doesn't matter how many tears an alleged rape victim has in their eyes; the accused must have evidence brought against them. It is far better, in any crime, for the occasional criminal to get-off rather than the odd-innocent be put away.

I don't think "feminism is a hate movement". Although they have an alarmingly large number of hateful women as members. What I do think about them is that they are the wrong people to bring about equality: For starters their name is by definition discriminatory. It's a movement for women. Whilst that was needed at the time, it is not needed as much now. I am not saying feminism should be wound-up, but they should admit they're a women's interest group who only care for "equality" as it relates t…

As per my other reply. Women's studies students rallied together recently at my uni to blame the lack of female representation in parliament on men. Even though they're the majority as one of there signs pointed out claiming "Women are over half the country, yet men still run it" That single action alone highlights the irrelevance of the degree. It seems that all these girls are learning is how to cry and pretend to be victims.

There was a mini-protest about the lack of women in parliament at my Uni some weeks back. Signs such as "Women are over half the country, yet men still run it" were displayed. They obviously failed to see the irony in that sign because "women" hold the majority voting power and therefore have mostly themselves to blame for that state of affairs. They also seem mored concerned with sulking "I'mmmm a viccctimmm" than getting an education. Blaming men for that situation just goes to show how irrele…

Women's studies is really a joke degree, you would be better of learning horse whispering or practical applications for numerology. This is the kind of crap "women's studies" are teaching at Universities. Every student of women's studies I've ever met doesn't know the meaning of objective and impartial. They have axes to grind and couldn't make their dogmatic agenda any more transparent. Yeh, they probably had it tough growing up - some bad men-relationships, daddy issues; but that does not just…

Fair is fair. If women can get courts to force man-only organisations to open up to women, men too should be welcome in female-only clubs or events. The fact she has cancer holds no weight. It's unfortunate she didn't win but she got beaten by another person fair-and-square, who had every civil right to be there.

I hope these people never breed - if they have boys they'll ruin their lives. They will teach them to be self-hating individuals just because of their gender. Or in other words, they will do the very thing to boys they accuse men of doing to them - and claim it is okay to do so because "men are rapists".

"Castrate men who play or watch football" = "Behead those who insult Islam". These people are fundamentalists, are terrorists, are brainwashed, are deluded and are testimony to just how tainted feminism is with emotional-illogical bigots. Whilst some feminists are objective and concerned with equality, the movement has largely been tainted with idiots like on allecto.

Men can carry more weight, men have superior weight to power ratios, men on average have better hand-eye co-ordination and therefore men are ideal for the army. This is not gender discrimination, this has panned out naturally given the physiological differences between men and women. I personally would not want a woman watching my back in armed combat, unless of course she passed the exact same test that men had to in order to get in. Lowering the criteria for women would be gender discriminatio…

That is certainly an area that has not been explored. The journalist has concluded that the existence of bonus disparity = gender discrimination; without even considering other facts. It's almost as if society has been brainwashed to think it's sexist to even ask the question: are other factors at play?

I agree, this is not an easy issue to regulate. But this is certainly where this conversation needs to start because at the moment men are slaves when it comes to children issues. I would imagine if he gave late notice, he would not be able to back out of it. Unless he was not informed by the mother until too late in which case she has to bear the consequences.

In the case of #4 I believe the 'mother' would then require either; 1) Compensation for being forced to carry the baby to term (loss of income, weight gain, loss of lifestyle and so on) OR 2) The choice to abort, with compensation paid to the would-be-father.

Interesting. I like part of what you said but I have issue with #4. The way it is worded, it would force women to carry the baby to term for the father. She would then require either; 1) Compensation for that (loss of income, weight gain, loss of lifestyle and so on) OR 2) The choice to abort, with compensation paid to the would-be-father.

Everyone does. But the point is that this article jumps to the conclusion that the existence of the disparity in bonuses is a result of gender discrimination. They have failed to explore other avenues such as: overtime hours of bonus recipients, conversion rates, fee-recoverability... People jump on the women are discriminated against bandwagon too quickly before even examining the facts. That's not to say that women are not discriminated against or that maybe in this case it is gender discrimin…

Nothing wrong with that: It's perfectly logical. If the woman holds the entire rights to decide to have the child, she owns the entire liabilities to finance her own decision. The man's burden to pay should be proportionate to his right to decide the outcome of the pregnancy. However - if the father wants to see his child in the future, he needs to 1) wait until the child is 18; or 2) start paying for the kid.
