https://youtu.be/iARHCxAMAO0?is=V6vUbYG1QPXPdT-r I would never organize because it would promote a counter protest that is socially mainstream, 3 times bigger, and both fearful and dishonest enough to smear my effort as misogyny.

It isn't "subdued" as much as it is "caring" in my opinion. WaW has an affect for the men working in nursing, teaching, etc. Of course breaking the mold comes with stigma. If you are viewed as competent by default, and prove that you are not, you will be judged harshly, but not more than someone already viewed incompetent by default, who may never be able to prove otherwise despite competence. For example, when teachers used to think boys were smarter than girls, that meant problems for slower b…

I think what is often misunderstood is that feminine behavior causes men to be labeled "not real men" but it doesn't cause them to be labeled "real women." If the latter was true, the condemnation would likely stem from misogyny. However, "feminine" men (or more accuratley non-hegemonically masculine men) are not regarded or treated with the benevolent sexism of a woman or a man. They are dehumanized into a third category unworthy of any empathy. No group claims in-group bias for these men, acce…

According to Wikipedia, it means "the phenomenon found in psychological and sociological research which suggests that people associate more positive attributes with women when compared to men. This bias reflects an emotional bias toward women as a general case." You implied with sarcasm that women are not treated as something special in society. But you also no about the WaW effect. So I am just confused.

That is a bad-faith definition.

Woman overpays for pink razor? Pink tax. The patriarchy is robbing women just because they are women. Let's support her. Man overpays for a gray toothbrush? Fragile masculinity. The guy is so insecure in his manhood he paid extra for the "man" thing. Let's ridicule him.

It's "unfavorably". I am glad I could clear that up for you. I am not sure I understand the rest of your comment. My point is, you were presented a scholarly paper that demonstrates young men view women favorably, but you instead chose to believe your internal bias. That should cause some pause and self reflection, for starters. Ironically, the paper predicts correctly that you would likely view men unfavorably, as evidence by your voiced internal bias. So, you are telling on yourself.

You said that you don't hate men? I am not sure you conveyed that well. Anyway, i can't say i hate men, but men do call me hateful here, and i would say that men taught me that. First, "I can't say I hate men" falls way short of saying "I don't hate men." But then you say your behavior is viewed as hateful, so you are at least self-aware that you are ambiguosuly hateful. Then you say that "men taught me that" - so what is the "that"? In the context of the post, it seems like "that" is lyour "hat…

How do you estimate? If 2% are proven false, 3% result in convictions, how do you classify the other 95%? How do account for the small number of accused rapists who are exonerated after being found guilty? Does that go from "proven true" to "proven false"? How would you reconcile the fact that "proven" things can be found to be false?

I made it about 60 seconds. He thinks men need to aspire towards the provider role. 60 years ago, a woman would have said that, if a woman does not aspire to be the homemaker, then she is lost and worthless to society. We have matured a lot since then, but apparently the fundamental aspect of being a healthy man is the ability to labor for others. Non-expert is repackaging Boomer ideas as new advice.

In the 70's, if you asked a married woman about finances, she might say "My husband takes care of all of that." Today, especially among older folks, it is not uncommon for the wife to manage all health care concerns, on the basis that she is assumably more capable. In practical terms, this means, for some men, if they don't take their meds THE WAY THEIR WIFE TEELS THEM, then there will be fighting. If she is assumably right in all health matters, he will feel compelled to follow her instructions…

I was offering rebuttal to the idea that "nothing is stopping" men from creating their own movement. In fact, a well-funded and politically connected movement with a foothold in every college campus is organizing against men creating their own movement.

I am annoyed that vasectomies are not covered, but tubal ligation is. For poorer families, this effectively means that the more invasive tubal ligation will be performed instead of a vasectomy. It was like they went out of their way to withhold this coverage for men, and ended up shooting themselves in the foot (or tubes, I guess). It is a bad policy. It is unfair. It denies men basic services offered to women.

For the first, health insurance reform under Obama requires that men and women pay the same rates, that women should be offered contraception free without copay, while no guarantees were made for men. That is unfair. The decision was ultimately made by the Sec of Health and Human Services, who was Katherine Sebelius. The argument was that contraception prevents a medical condition in the user when the user is female, but offers no protection for the user if the user is male, and therefore make c…

In the US, women can expect their health insurance to include contraception as available free without co-pay. This would include even surgical sterilization. Men, however, are not offered vasectomies for free without copay. It was decided that both genders should pay the same premiums costs, so men are paying for services for women that the men themselves are denied. In Pennsylvania, being male adds a point to the automated estimation of recidivism index. The points are used to generate a recomm…

Women's direct communication reframed as "nagging" sounds interesting. It sounds a lot like men complaining when their "sharing feelings" gets labeled as "trauma dumping." Which is to say, some times it is probably fair criticism, sometimes it is unfair, but in both cases, the communication was likely delayed for so long that the message became laden with other feelings corrupting the original intended message.

I agree. Imagine if 40 years ago, educators all concluded that girls should avoid math and science until one year after the boys, as if that would help them succeed. Instead, rational people decided that girls needed exposure to female role models that had those skills. This wasn't too hard, since ~90% of the teachers were women. Now men are falling behind, but RR seems to think the answer is to estimate how far behind he thinks they are collectively, then consider that the new standard of norma…

"Take accusations seriously" is even better, because it allows for men to be accusers (without discounting the benefit of the doubt afforded to female accusers or somehow feminizing male accusers), while also recognizing that a false accusation, if proven as such, is a serious matter, too.

That's not enough. Consent can be rescinded during the act. You could have a notarized affidavit signed by both parties and their lawyers, and it not exonerate you. Even with full video of the act, an accusation could include "I whispered stop, but the camera didn't capture the whisper." Even if afterwards, texts from the accuser could say, "Thanks for the awesome consensual sex," and an accuser could say "I hadn't processed the trauma yet," or "I said whatvI felt I had to say to avoid a confron…

You now have an opportunity to allow HR to compile a portfolio of evidence to fire you. These meetings are covertly a context for you to expose yourself as a misogynist. When that doesn't happen, they will use exaggerations and misquoted to make their case. In fact, needing time each week to discuss things because "you don't understand women" is already grounds for dismissal. You have proven to them, in their minds, that you're so much a caveman that you need pre-scheduled remediation.

Pennsylvania uses a set of metrics to estimate the likelihood of recidivism, and a computer evaluates those metrics and makes a sentencing recommendation. One of the metrics is sex, and men receive an extra point on their score to reflect their higher supposed rate of recidivism. This is not some old arbitrary law. This was first implemented in 2021 after over a decade of planning and review. Critics note that the PA state constitution forbids sex-based discrimination, but I guess they weren't l…

Yea. There is a whole separate point to be made about how researchers will say guilt was "proven" or not based on their own opinions. A false accusation that results in conviction will never be coded as a false accusation.

One thing I have noticed: some feminists love to claim that men only bring up men's issues to deflect away from discussion of topics affecting women. Some feminists only discuss gender-issues from the perspective of "how does this problem affect women? When their question promots a man to intersection "it affects men, too," they sometimes get upset and accuse the commenter of derailing. Since the only places they discuss gender issues have a gynocentric perspective, any discussion they hear abou…

You are an excellent writer. I have had these same thoughts before. It really takes talking about this with several people to realize the cognitive dissonance most people put up around the topic.

Fyi, if you continue to use "females" to describe women in the same sentences that you use "men," people will assume you are a misogynist. I am not trying to judge you for that, but others will. Fwiw, "females" is used a lot by the military. Linguistically, the military seems to differentiate "women" apart from "female soldiers," and "females" is the shortened form of that. I think usage of "females" proliferated there, where no one (even female soldiers) objects to the phrase.

There seems to be a combative tone, like you are proactively trying to shut down ignorant responses you anticipate I will write. My only point was that the clinical trial for male contraception was not closed because men were acting like babies.

Always worth repeating: In Penssylvania, a recent (2021?) sentencing reform officially codified that men should receive longer sentences than women, even though discrimination based on gender is illegal per state constitution. When someone is found guilty in PA, a score is now generated to predict the chance of recidivism. More points indicates higher risk. Based on the score, defendants are labeled low, medium, or high risk. They give you a point just for being a man. And again, this was not so…

Very well written. I especially liked the content discussing how female feminists will shout down towards any 'man" disagreeing with them. Any disagreement is immediately coded as the man being told he is wrong, followed with a discourse-ending assigned reading (where the feminist recalls who made the argument that cemented her position but can't seem to recall the facts that support their case). If he has already done the reading, that is only further evidence of his male bias. So male feminist…

If it is, then boys need MORE help, not less. If boys are behind girls, redshirt the girls so the boys will be on their level.

It sounds a bit like Pennsylvania’s recent sentencing guidelines that makes lighter recommendations for female criminals because of there supposed reduced rate of recidivism. Of course they are less likely to be charged with a crime, they get a pass almost always. The logic is 100% the same as giving white people reduced sentences compared to black people. It makes me sick.

This is obviously an oversimplification, but the point of crying is to elicit empathy and support. When grown men cry, most are repulsed. I think it is because they are internally struggling with the lizard brain, which reminds them that this person needs emotional support.

It violates the Pennsylvania constitution, which specifically forbids government policies discriminating based on sex.

Three thoughts on the lesbian rates of DV. 1) at best we know they report it more. It could simply be that women, faced with the exact same abuse a man might receive, is more likely to make a report. This is a credible assumption.

I will reword rlwjat you said to illustrate my point. See, there is no reason to worry about false reporting. It is rare that they are ever proven to be false, so the upside is if you are falsely accused, there is little hope of ever clearing your name. Or let's tell rape survivors.... Ok, but a "true rape" (which I have suddenly defined as a provably true rape) is very rare. The chances of a rape being a true rape is less than 10%. Do you see how the former actually highlights the problem (but,…

Your link demonstrating the rarity of false reports says this: False report: A false report is a reported crime to a law enforcement agency that an investigation factually proves never occurred. So, it is rare that a rape is proven to have not taken place, and it is rare to prove that a rape HAS taken place. What is your point? What makes you think false reports not factually proven false and yet still actually false are rare? Take, for example, the convictions of Brian Banks and Stephen Avery (…

Once a man confesses to having mental distress, "fear of unstable men" surpassed the rather small "empathy for vulnerable men."

Please, smoke one correct me if I am wrong, but I recall reading that the HPV vaccine was completely ineffective for a non-significant number of men (>10%) and, more problematically, the vaccine was only effective for something like 18 months in boys/men (as opposed to many years in girls/women). If those facts are true, it makes perfect sense to subsidize vaccinating girls at 11 or 12 and allowing boys to get the vaccine if they really want it. Furthermore, exposi…

20% of women are affected by post partum depression, whereas no men are because they don’t give birth You are making an assumption, that men don't suffer from depression after birth, based on the decades long consensus reached by... not actually asking men anything, telling them that their role is to support the mother, who may herself be depressed so you better man up.

There is nothing to see here. Calling for help is good, but he probably didn’t call out loud enough to be heard.

Specifically, I recall from my looking into this many years ago that men drive more miles and their accidents tend to have higher claims. The math even shows that men incur a higher cost of liability per mile driven as well (that is, women have more accidents per mile but men cause more damage per mile).

Gary Coleman's death was ruled an accident. Officially he suffered an unwitnessed fall in his home causing brain hemorrhage. His ex-wife called 911 but wouldn't provide any aid because she was "afraid of blood." The ex-wife also fought to have their post-divorce relationship called a common-law marriage so that she could access his estate, largely so that she could keep his ashes in a locket she would wear and to win a home he owned. She was denied when it was argued that she was abusive to him.

Child support is not paid because it is the child's right.

The maximum is actually higher than that if you count "unreported" false accusations. If an accuser simply makes the claim with a community, like a university, without ever filing a police report, the accused is still at risk for inappropriate punishment. In fact, most false accusations are likely "unreported" as this removes the only vulnerability the accuser faces (a criminal charge of filing a false report).

I used to think this, but then I realized that the next time we "needed" a draft and didn't have one, they would just re-instate it.

A classic example I have found on a couple of sites explaining the definition of "unfounded" is the case in which a person claims their car was stolen, but hours after the complain, it is determined that a friend, authorized to use the car, had taken it without…

...and the mother can't afford the child on her own In the cases in which the woman CAN afford the child, the father is still on the hook for support. Child support is not based on the child's needs, but rather on the presumed capacity of the non-custodial parent to be bilked. When the mother can support the child, the father generally is decently well-off (due to female hypergamy), and is thus a huge cash cow.

Sorry, I should not have implied that. Maybe the reason it is SO vile to them (these particular friends of yours) is that if you are even modestly aware of the male advocacy side of gender awareness, than you will resist being used as a pawn to support women. To many women (and men), the realization that you are not willing to be taken advantage of and used is the moment that you lose all intrinsic value, and hence, a friendship is no longer beneficial.

The one character was literally a suspect because one cashier at a store always saw him coming in and buying clothes and never saw him with children.

I believe that they may argue that it is, in fact, objectification, as a result of the patriarchy harming everyone. The only solution, they might say, would be to support feminism in dismantling the patriarchy. When women hold half of the wealth and power (regardless of who that wealth and power are devoted to now), only then can they begin to devote any attention to the problems with male gender roles, or "toxic masculinity," as they call it.

Sex is biology. If you have a Y chromosome, you are male. Gender is identity. If you dress as a woman, refer to yourself as a woman, use women's rooms, and are recognized by your peers as a woman, your gender is effectively that of a woman, irrespective of genetic status. This distinction was made in the last fifty years, and has not penetrated into colloquial use. No one is suggesting that you can "imagine away" your sex.

I find it is useful to consider legal rights and entitlements as the definition of the minimal amount of power that society deems is acceptable for a person to have.

This problem is not so much a problem with law, but law enforcement. It is not women's fault that their claims are believed more easily than men's. The laws (for the most part) are gender neutral. The problem lies squarely on the shoulders of cops. Most police officers are men. Particularly, they are men who see themselves as protectors. Call it male instinct, cultural bias, or misandry, many of these men feel more compelled to protect a woman from a man than vice versa. That translates into an …

On my first day of college, the first-year advisor read the results of a survey conducted prior to the term. The question: "Do you think you will be in A) the top 50% of the class B) top 25% C top 10% or D) none of the above. Not surprisingly, only 2% listed D, even though 50% of the students would eventually find their way into this boat. Most chose B (large majority). The point: most college students, perhaps over-confident for making it into college, have expectations that exceed the average.…

They also seem to think they have every right to expect the fucking world. Uh, they do. They have no right to demand it.

Have you heard of this? The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers. source From CONSAD for the US Dept. of Labor

Women cannot serve in an MOS that is a strongly combat related MOS. For example, I know they cannot serve in the infantry, or as a combat engineer, and I don't think they can be in an artillery crew. I do know they can serve as a combat medic, or as an MP. Even though their role might not be strictly about combat, they can be in combat, and are expected to engage the enemy. For example, there is no reason why they can't man the gun turret on a Humvee if their unit is going somewhere.

It's worse than that, the full paper that spawned this statistic explicitly states that it would irresponsible to extrapolate their figures out to 1 in 4. Also, as I recall, the statistic also includes being exposed to lewd photography without consent. By that definition, just about everyone in my freshmen hall assaulted and was assaulted by lemonparty. Last, I seem to recall a phrasing along the lines of "Have you ever not been interested in having sex with someone, and then, after they got you…

To be fair, she DOES recognize that society in general does not hold men as necesary to family life, and that manhood is less clear now then ever. She does focus on the symptoms, and uses hyperbole and the narative of female-victimhood as a means of gathering attention the topic, but she does understand the cause, and does not blame men for pre-adulthood.

I think many would not consider it a problem, but you do, and that is what matters. If it undermines your authority, than discipline them for it. Why should a feminist have to fight to ensure that you don't have to be an adequate supervisor. I have never had a real position of authority, but I know authority. If I called my female sergeant "sweetheart" she would have my ass for it. That your employees don't respect you is your failing as a supervisor, not society's.

First, I would like to poiint out that the men's rights movement would never be if not for the women who fought for their rights. Feminism has opened the door for men to address the issues you see on this subreddit. They were the first to ask the questions, and for that they deserve some respect. I don't mean to imply that feminism has no goals, only that your first post was a little like begging the question. Thanks for more info. I don't mean to come off as disrespectful, but I'd like to give …

But she didn't get drunk; they agreed to use asphyxiation in intercourse to the point of loss of consciousness. She consented to the act. The question is whether or not she she be allowed to consent to intercourse that she cannot withdraw consent from. tl;dr:rtfa

To be clear, there is a lot of reasons why a top female player that only fairs average in the broader semi-pro poker world may want to eliminate men from her competition and exploit the players more likely to be intimidated. Her motivation isn't about helping women, it is about helping beginners find their way to her table, and about eliminated other potential pros from that table.

I love how in just the last few years, the rhetoric has shifted from "neither sex has an innate advantage, women do not receive equal pay/opportunities, so we need to support women," to the current "women make better students, better leaders, and better nurturers, so it's men's fault if they lag behind." Women have won. They have won the hearts and minds. It just took a bit of feminist propaganda and a huge gender imbalance in primary education to end the discussion. I am pretty sure that we wil…

..furthermore, the Airforce reports relied on polygraph testing which has been so widely criticized by the scientific community as to be laughable as evidence in anything. The article says that the accusations that were concluded to be false were ones in which the accuser recanted, either before or after a polygraph. I suppose that a legitimate rape victim may recant if they failed a polygraph, but I think it is fair to say most, if not all of the accusers that recanted were not actual victims. …

But, in the US, you can just dump your child somewhere. It is called an orphanage. I suppose this could qualify as having a new set of parents, but it is obviously a far cry from having a mother. Should the mother (or father for that matter) be allowed to punish the child this way? BTW, not trying to attack you or anything. It just seems you are one of the few here that disagrees (which is fine), so you are catching all of the arguments.

but you can't punish the eventual child (which is what financial support is about) Great. I agree. Let's make adoption illegal. It is unfair to the child to grow up without a mother. Or not. How do reconcile the difference?

Hey it's reddit... Yeah, I think the we are both expressing the same common sense approach to the problem of rape, just from different sides.

That's fair. Made me think. Rape goes too far, but I think a lot of rape cases go too far. Frankly, I think this was probably a case of miscommunication. However, I guess a lot of men feel that the courts give them the bum end of the deal in traditional rape cases. Here, when the roles are reversed, it's still the guy that gets shafted. Sphincter.

FTA: "During the trial, the alleged victim told the County Court he urged Ms Naggs not to put the sex toy into his anus and was shocked when she did." Now, the way I see it, this amounts to a false rape claim or a clear rape. This is the key testimony. If he did urge the stripper not to fuck him, well, then she shouldn't have. To be clear, the entire reason men go to strip clubs is because women "[present their] vagina(s) to a male with a hardon assuming a position." However, there is an underst…

Wow, I never thought that "it was an accident" or "it was a joke" would ever work as defenses in a rape case. Stay classy, Aussie jurors.

I just saw this on the Today show. Three women were discussing this, with one of them oozing with a "you go, girl" attitude. It was repeated that this man cheated so many times. They lamented that the courts would ultimately label him as the victim, not the victimizer. she even went as far as to say that this was a crime of passion, even when another pointed out that there was plotting and conspiring involved. The whole thing makes me sick.
