These are the same people who believe that some old dude in Rome is completely infallible, but only when he says he is, and that this has only been used twice, both times to elaborate on the life of some virgin who gave birth one time. Fear the man of only one book.

No I don't, because here's what the National Women's Law Center has to saw about this: Does Title IX apply to discrimination against boys and men? Yes. Title IX protects every student from sexual harassment or gender-based harassment in schools. It also applies to school employees, such as teachers. What is “harassment”? Harassment can take many forms. It can be verbal acts, like name-calling, images and graphics, written statements, or other actions that may be physically threatening, harmful, …

"Nungesser's argument rests on a logical fallacy. He assumes that because the allegations against him concerned a sexual act that everything that follows from it is 'sex-based' within the meaning of Title IX. He is wrong," Woods wrote.

I don't even know what kind of logic you're trying to use here. Why is it a bad thing to say men can be victims? Sure, if we said all men were victims, or that abused men are victims and nothing else, that would be a problem. But all we want is for men to be treated fairly. A huge part of that (as far as DV goes) is getting people to acknowledge male DV victims, care about them, and give them the same rights and protections extended to female DV victims.

Dictionaries in English tend to lean more towards descriptivism than prescriptivism. It's the only reason they allow "figuratively" as a definition of "literally". As far as I can see, this dictionary has listed the definition and noted a bias in its use, not necessarily introducing their own bias. While I don't entirely agree with the decision, if they wanted to be biased, they'd have just said "prejudice or discrimination against women".

Studies of contemporary hunter-gatherers show that their strong sense of moral community is maintained by autonomous individuals who constantly resist any form of personal domination. In fact, many hunter-gatherers are so egalitarian and communistic that even a non-Marxist anthropologist like Christopher Boehm argues that hunter-gatherer societies - the first human societies - must have originated in uprisings against dominant males.

Being ashamed of your wife getting raped is incredibly shitty, regardless of culture. I totally see where she's coming from with this. I am, however, disappointed that she didn't take the opportunity to talk about male rape. When a man gets raped in a place like Uganda, he faces much of the same ostracization. If he's raped by a woman, he's viewed as either weak because he couldn't resist her, or gay because he didn't want it. In many countries, if a man is raped by another man, he can be convic…

Masculinity is irrelevant. It is a loosely-defined set of traits traditionally expected of men. Men can be masculine, feminine, or in-between. Women can be masculine, feminine, or in-between. There is nothing wrong with any of this, and a person's masculinity or femininity should not be a determiner of their worth.

So let me see if I understand this correctly. Before the sexual revolution, men and women were paired off. Every man had a woman, every woman had a man. After the sexual revolution, a handful of men had multiple women, the rest did not. Most women also had a man or two, though some women didn't. The "solution" here is to kill all women and some men, at which point ... profit? I mean, it certainly sounds like something a lunatic would believe.

I'm of the opinion that the accused should only be punished if there is evidence against them. So, here's how it should go down: Person A accuses person B of raping them. There is convincing evidence that person B did in fact rape person A. Person B is convicted of rape. Person A accuses person B of raping them. There is no evidence that person B raped person A, so person B is acquitted. Person B sues person A for false accusation. There is no evidence that person A lied about being raped, or li…

There’s no question that a “yes” uttered under in response to a threat or under some other form of duress does not constitute consent. Agreed.

Men are, however, far more likely to die from non-assisted suicide than women are. The title kinda implies that women get "preferential" treatment, which I doubt is the case (the article doesn't seem to imply it).

It also has to do with so much on-screen violence in movies. If a random man is beat up or killed, audiences accept it. Seeing women beat up or killed is more upsetting.

Am I not allowed to highlight a point because someone else gets abuse from their sexuality? Basically, yes. The concept of "privilege" is that certain groups --- men, women, white people, heterosexuals, cisgender people to name a few --- get certain social advantages in society. A sound concept, really; who could argue that heterosexuality isn't treated better than bi- or homosexuality, and probably also asexuality? Who could argue that men are, in some situations, treated better than women ... …

I say this as a man who has never held any interest in sports: fuck this guy. Fuck him and his politicizing of fucking games. Fuck him for saying that the small group of some of the most overpaid people on the planet, "were steered toward the NFL by a society that offers poor black men few other, less violent, ways to attain wealth." You don't want to watch sports? Fine. But don't pull some holier-than-thou race-card excuse out of your ass to justify it.

I like how, in the first line, he explains exactly what the problem with expecting women to be treated like queens (pun unintended) in a gay bar is: In my mid-twenties, I learned that taking your female friends to a gay bar is like taking a vegetarian to a butcher shop. There is a lot of meat, a lot of prime cuts, and even a little tripe, but nothing they can eat. Honestly, I could not have put it better myself. So why does he ignore his own opening statement?

To be fair: this is not standard Jewish procedure. It's called metzitzah b'peh, and is only practiced by extremely orthodox sects. However, to be fair to the children involved: it is, in fact, practiced and somehow legal. Some time ago, several infants were infected with herpes as a result of this procedure in New York. New York's response, amidst cries of antisemitism, was to pass a law requiring parents sign a waiver before allowing it to be done.

I refuse to accept a website as "representative of men's rights activists" which has stated: Accepting responsibility for oneself is a cornerstone of masculinity; if a man is being abused and dominated against his will, by a woman that he himself has chosen, he has utterly failed as a man.

So because religious fanatics and some very radical feminists both demonize human sexuality, I can claim that the actions of Fred Phelps are representative of feminism?

A feminist posted something about wanting to create a "feminist programming language", with little indication of what exactly that would entail.

Don't get me wrong though, that guy was paranoid. Edit: not to mention publicly shaming this guy for sexual choices in a way I doubt she'd do for a female.

I'm always flabbergasted by this sort of thing. Can you be too intoxicated to give consent? Sure. If you're so drunk that you pass out, you can't consent. But that's not what any of them say: If you have sex w/ someone who is drunk, they are unable to consent & that is rape. There are different levels of drunk, people. If you know that, and recognize that people can, in fact, consent while drunk, don't say that they can't consent while drunk.

Generally speaking, sex while one party is unconscious is considered rape (at least if it's a man who's the conscious one, but let's leave that double standard be for now). There is evidence that he had sex with her while unconscious. I'm not saying he should have been convicted, but honestly, it's easy to see where this is coming from.

No, I would understand the (incredibly selfish) logic of that, but that's not what this author is saying. She's saying that the male birth control isn't available because muh sojinee. So in other words, allowing women more power over their own reproductive system than men ... is misogyny. That's what I don't get.

"While I agree that the burden of proof is on the prosecution, claiming the prosecution has to prove that no consent was given is a losing battle. It is impossible to prove a negative."

It's not that they wrote "him" and people got pissy about it; one programmer wrote "him", another corrected it to "they", and this programmer undid the change.

It's a relic of conscription, when (as you might expect) only men were required to be sent to their deaths. When the draft ended, the "selective service" didn't.

"History", despite whatever you've heard, is not in any way, shape, or form related to "his story". It comes from Latin historia (meaning "history"), from Greek ἱστορία (historía, meaning "a written account of knowledge"), from ἵστωρ (hístōr, meaning "witness"). Nowhere in its etymology is there a bias towards men, even if there was in its practice.

(Even when people talk about men being held up to impossible standards, they always brush it aside saying, "it's only men who do that, anyhow".)

I'm always glad to see stuff like this. It is kind of comforting to know at least some of them actually give a shit, that they aren't all Big Reds or Valerie Solanases.

So many questions. Did you actually know any of them? Did you actually sleep with any of them? Where these cases false accusations or mistaken identity? In other words, did someone else rape them and you just got blamed, or were they actively trying to screw you over? What lengths did you have to go to to prove your innocence? Or did you prove your innocence?

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
