I'm not close to the situation, so I'm sure there is a mountain of context I'm not seeing. With the information given, however, I wouldn't immediately jump to termination or suspension if there are no other problems with her as a teacher. The reasonable response would be to counsel her on the appropriate policies and procedures with regards access of material (legos in this case).

I agree with you about the history of their culture and the impact that institutional inequality has had on generational wealth and social standing. Its been 50 years since the Civil Rights Act though. I understand that the effects of that era will linger, but there has to be a point where we look at these communities and say "You can only blame the past for so long." With higher education available to anyone who seeks it out, its getting more and more difficult to use poverty as an excuse to no…

That is a contributing factor, sure. Another reason is their culture. They're expected to put in a shit ton of hours at work to demonstrate their loyalty to the company. Most of those hours, however, aren't spent doing much of anything.

I dont think there are any inherent differences. I think the differences are in the relative cultural values between whites and blacks (at least, in the US). White families/communities tend to put a higher emphasis on family and education than black families/communities do. Edit: Down vote all you want! Search your feelings (or... you know, do a google search) and you will know it to be true.

Even if she did, a lawsuit probably wouldn't get very far. To be guilty of libel, the publisher must have printed known falsehoods about a person or organization. I'm sure the actual law is more nuanced than that, but that is the gist of it. If the accused tells his side of the story and Newsweek relays that side of the story as just that... his side of the story, then there are no falsehoods being presented by Newsweek.

I'm not dodging anything. I even said in former comments that the argument is one of semantics. You call it discrimination and you seem to mean that it should be treated as a form of illegal discrimination. I disagree with that.

It isn't just my fact. It's their fact, their fact, and their fact. There is plenty more where that came from.

if you're making judgments on a person's skills and capability based on their looks, that's fucking discrimination. It depends. If the job in question requires a lot of physical activity, then their size is a real indicator as to their abilities to safely and efficiently perform the work.

So? What is stopping you from inviting male friends over to your place? Hell, what is stopping you from interacting with your male friends somewhere that has women? Nothing. There is nothing stopping you. If your friendship with someone is predicated on being in a space with no women, then your friendship isn't predicated on any form of practical reality.

Because it's simply not part of the problem. Feminism does not stop guys from being friends with one another. It's practitioners preach and practice a lot of dumb and fucked up stuff, but this isn't really one of those things.

If you're going to complain about male only spaces, then go create one. Just look at the Augusta National. It's a male only club. Why can it get away with that? Because its completely privately owned. When you own the venue for the event that you're hosting, then all the feminists in the world can protest your male only space. Is there anything legitimate that they can do about it? No. So, if you feel this is a problem, then go create that space.

There needs to be a victim before you can "blame the victim". Telling someone to grow up, take charge of their life, and stop making excuses for themselves is not really victim blaming. Are there legitimate problems and double standards in our society? Yes. Absolutely. Is this really one of them? No.

I agree. While I don't consider myself to have any close male friends, I know it's because I prioritize my family and my career over male friendship. It isn't because "feminism" is setting up some sort of barrier trying to keep me from having friends. That's just balderdash.

It's been my experience, as an engineer, that college grad females (including female engineers) simply don't want to consider dating "underneath" them. They set standards that are very high. By the time they get out of school and into the work force, many of the men that meet those high standards are already married or have decided to remain single.

I believe that humans are adaptable enough to be raised successfully by a single parent of either gender. We didn't become the predominant species on this planet by not being robust and adaptable. With that being said, a child (of any gender) needs role models from both genders to get a good, well-rounded picture of what is expected of you in order to be considered a good human being. I, as a father, can raise my sons up to be good men. I can teach them everything they need to know to be a good …

I have no research to back up my opinion, but it would seem to me that it shouldn't matter. I'd like to believe that we rose to be the predominate species on this planet because of our adaptability and "robust-ness". If a small child only thrived when mother was involved, then we, as a species, would have a harder time propagating.

Ideally, I agree with you. That's how it should work. If it worked like that in practice, however, then we shouldn't be seeing the epidemic of non-reproducibility present in most of the social and natural sciences. Even the medical field is having a tough time with reproducing published results. The peer review process seems to have been diluted to reading an article and saying "eh, that seems like good science" or "no. I don't agree with this science."

Intelligence in a vacuum becomes delusional absurdity.

Women should be forced to sign up for selective service regardless. Even if they can't fill the combat arms roles, they can fill the combat support and combat service support roles. This would allow more male soldiers to fill the combat arms roles in the event of a national emergency that would warrant a draft.

The down votes aren't brigading. The down votes are for your lack of understanding of what equity is. Equity is a level playing field. "Equality of outcome" is tilting the playing field so that one group can "win" as much as the other group. The problem with that philosophy is that it throws out values like merit, work ethic, and discipline.

I think he's referring to community violence. Poor neighborhoods, which tend to be black neighborhoods, have higher rates of violent crimes than any other demographic in the USA. Training officers in techniques to diffuse or de-escalate a situation peacefully is good. I have no problem there. Unfortunately, that is not entirely within the officers control.

The one about luxury clothes is silly. Women place a higher value on clothing so of course that market will be catered to them.

I agree wholeheartedly. The weak, feminine man is not the one who builds houses, forges metal, or builds machinery. Even our "modern" society, today, is built upon the work of strong men and women. You can have all the money in the world, but if you cant build, fix, or fight your way through lifes obstacles, then you will still be at the mercy of the strong within our society. At a basic fundamental level, it is the strong that keeps society up and moving. That is why they are "prized" as mates.

For much of "civilized" human history, women were denied rights. Due to this, they were also denied the responsibilities that came along with rights and choices. So it's easy for these organizations to separate one concept from the other. In their minds, the rights (privileges) and responsibilities are two, mutually exclusive ideas. Trying to hold them responsible for their actions and behaviors is, in their minds, akin to putting them in chains and denying them their rights.

I agree. It isn't a social construct. It's how we, as a species, has survived. Many of the feminine traits that we view as "beautiful" correlate to a woman's ability to successfully give birth and raise children (breasts, hips, etc.).

I think the ruling it fair, but I do disagree with the notion that a stay at home parent, when confronted with divorce, has the right to be supported at all after the divorce is finalized. The parent chose to be a stay at home parent much in the same way that the working parent chose to work.

To piggy back off of your comment, I've also heard the theory that men are better at taking one topic and breaking it down on deeper levels than women are, but women are better at juggling more than one problem/topic at a time than men.

I'm an engineer who works around a few female engineers who are all single and in their 30s. I constantly hear these women complain about their failed dates. When discussing their dates, they usually bash on the most trivial things. For that very small sample size, my preliminary conclusion is that their expectations are way too high. They usually brush it off by saying "They just cant handle a successful woman."

Based on this logic, I've raped my wife a few times. I better go tell her that, even though we both enjoyed it every single time, its still rape and I have to go turn myself into the police and lose my job that supports our family. This means she'll have to go to work and throw our 9 month old son in daycare everyday so she can make ends meet while im in jail. :-(

I disagree. While there is no physical harm here, the emotional and psychological pain later on in life is probably inevitable.

This should be some sort of abuse. When you force another human being (even a child) to hide who they are and suppress all of the instincts and motivations that come as a result of their gender (or any facet of their nature), then there is a good probability of the child turning to unhealthy ways of acting on those instincts when they finally do (AND THEY WILL) boil over. This is because the child never learned how to focus those drives and instincts in a constructive manner. I cant imagine what…

Selective Service =/= Draft if that is what you're talking about. I do think that women should have to sign up for the Selective Service.

You sign up for the Selective Service starting at 18. Its no longer mommys responsibility to wipe your nose for you at that age. Why didnt you take care of that? There are normally provisions for late registration. You're not fucked.

Excellent explanation. Single parents can be of both genders. My dad was a single father for much of my childhood.

I agree with that. I think that post was more geared towards single parents who have you both provide an income and be the primary caregivers to their children. I saw how tough it was for my dad to be a single parent to 3 kids.

As one man to another.... men shouldnt need circle jerks to feel better about themselves. Let the women have theirs. I find that my self confidence goes up whenever I learn how to do something new. Something that makes me just a touch more self sufficient. Growing up, I thought that learning to change a tire, change oil, use hand and power tools, drive a farm tractor, etc. was all there just to make me miserable on the evenings and weekends. When I left home for college, I frequently encountered…

Yes... yes it is. What we wear, or strategically DONT wear, is a form of expression to others. This logic is analagous to a man saying "I should be able to run around with my ass hanging out of my pants and I expect for it to not draw negative criticism!"

I dont think any group should have an "appreciation" period unless they've done something to deserve it. Memorial Day is a perfect example. The men and women we honor during Memorial Day have earned the right to be honored and remembered by sacrificing their life for our country. Black History Month.... black people dont "earn" being black. I do not feel they should be honored simply for the color of their skin.

I've had it happen to me a few times. A few years back, I was at a gas station. I was walking out as this mother and her child were walking in. I opened the door and held it for them. The mother stops walking and stops her child and says something to the effect of "we are fully capable of opening our own doors! How else is she (she nods to the daughter) going to grow up to be a strong independent woman?!" I said "Okay, just trying to be nice." and walked out the door and to my truck.

I generally do. Its the polite thing to do. I wont go out of my way to hold a door open for another guy though. A man can open up his own door unless I just happen to be right there. I guess a woman can as well, but I was raised to treat a woman like a woman and a man like a man.

I guess its hard for me to objectively comment on that issue/article because my father is shorter than his wife. He is also one of the strongest guys I know.

I was raised in a similar manner as you. Ladies first, pull out the chair for them, hold doors for them, etc. What I've found is that the a good percentage of women (at least down here in south Georgia) still appreciate being treated like a lady. I wont stop doing what I'm doing simply because some women may not appreciate it.

Here's the thing. If you're worried about protecting yourself, then there is some underlying mistrust of your SO that you're harboring. If this is the case, then simply dont get married. For the man, especially, there is no legitimate advantage to being married... unless you want to count tax advantages.

I would prefer for judges to rule on custody cases on an individual, case by case, basis... not using a "general rule of thumb". Sure. It is possible that some are. The same way that NOW and the NAACP take simple misunderstandings and blow them up to try and make them into civil rights issues. Unfortunately, I cant really answer this question definitively.

I, of course, cant speak for ALL of the 'Mens Rights' group, but I can start it off by listing an issue that feminists bring up that is really a non-issue. The big one is "equal pay for equal work". They are always harping on the fact that "women make $0.75 for every $1 that a man makes". While this statistic is technically true, its also very misleading.

I disagree. While it is definitely not a science, you can sometimes see subtle signs if you're observant enough. I dated this girl for about a year. I noticed from the onset that she treated waiters/waitresses/anyone who was performing a service like shit. This, in and of itself, wasnt enough for me to break up with her. It was, however, enough for me to know that this girl isnt marriage material. Sure enough, when things got the least bit rough, she walked.

It is true that that is her choice. You can influence the odds of that happening by being more careful who you marry... therefore, its not pure chance.

"depending on the woman you married." You also have to say "I do" at the alter to marry someone. This means that you have influence over who you marry. Like I said... there is an element of chance involved. Its kind of the same way that there is an element of chance when you play a game of chess with someone.

I disagree about Marriage being a game of chance. Is there an element of chance to it? Absolutely. Is it all chance? No. You can influence the results by helping to set the initial conditions of the relationship and wisely assessing the budding relationship. Its unwise to set sail in a ship that hasnt yet been tested and proven to be sea-worthy. There are a lot of bitter dudes here who naively thought they had found "the one" or who thought that the woman was someone she wasnt. I get why they're…
