She doesn’t speak for women she speaks for herself. I dont like the top 10, but I wouldn’t be upset if it was all human interest stories and makeup and clothes because it’s pointless getting angry at people liking things you don’t

Toys, games, jokes and skills make up the top 10. It isn't my fault that these are areas dominated by men.

Pick your battles. You shouldn't roll over, nor should you martyr yourself for a cause unnecessarily. That's the point, you have to be somewhere in the uncomfortable middle because the brittle assurance of knowing the right answer in all situations is the purview if the idealogue -- you should be better than that.

It means literally anything -- queer means different. If you can point to anything different in your sexuality then by definition you're LGBTQ. It's at once the biggest and smallest group inside that subgrouping.

" Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities who are not heterosexual or cisgender. Originally meaning "strange" or "peculiar", queer came to be used pejoratively against those with same-sex desires or relationships in the late 19th century. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer Technically if you're quite fond of earlobes you'd qualify for the LGBT bonus. I always identify as such, because why not? It never hurts and sometimes helps.

Well at least it only demanded equal punishment. Being in prison and being placed on a sex offenders register is far greater punishment in return. It's like an eye and one arm for an eye.

There is also the factor that many women consider being a mother a lifestyle choice funded by men. Many of these women try to find a relatively wealthy man, and either use pregnancy to force a relationship or financial reward. On the collectivist side there is also the factor that women would have far more scrutiny on their behaviour if men have the choice to abandon responsibility for their genetic offspring before birth. The reason is that women would face the scorn of other women for burdenin…

Progressivism in many ways is a perversion of puritanism. They changed the religion, but they kept the same mindset. Now your impure thoughts, words and actions are judged according to their social justice crusade rather than the Bible. There is still original sin (Privilege), the devil (patriarchy), holy spirit (mother nature) and Adam is now Eve. The problem is that this cultural miasma is so thick that it is hard to separate yourself from its influence even if you're trying to actively reject…

They probably didn't look at confounders, no. I don't understand why I'm being downvoted here. The survey is probably biased, but there are a whole bunch of them, and the science that they are basing their conclusions on with respect to addiction and stimulation is very well settled. Is it really wrong to ask what the negative consequences of excessive pornography watching is? I don't watch nearly as much porn as I used to because I don't like where it is leading me.

In a 2012 survey of 1,500 guys, 56% said their tastes in porn had become “increasingly extreme or deviant.” [12] Because consistent porn users’ brains quickly become accustomed to the porn they’ve already seen (See Porn Addiction Escalates), they typically have to constantly be moving on to more extreme forms of pornography to get aroused by it. [13] As a result, just like the rats, many porn users find themselves getting aroused by things that used to disgust them or that go against what they t…

In addition to this you also have the macro/micro economic problem whereby things that apply to individuals do not apply to groups, and vice versa. You can say to an individual to work harder, and that could be good advice for one person. However if you tell a group of people to work harder, then much of the gains they make will be transferred to other groups.

I don't understand why abortions are so often promoted. I don't oppose people having the option to take that path, but the fact that having an abortion can be more traumatic in the longer term for some than miscarriage makes me question the orthodoxy.

There wasn't really much difference in timespan between male and female suffrage. The longer universal suffrage has been around the shorter proportionately the difference becomes between men and women. Besides the journey to even get universal male suffrage was even longer relative to the introduction of limited voting rights.

Here's the thing: If you belong to a movement then you take on responsibility for the actions within that movement, and especially so if those responsible get tacit approval because they are not called out or expelled for their hard-line beliefs.

Was there a time when females were looked down upon? When they were as a whole disadvantaged? There were times and places when individuals felt hard done by sure. But on a whole I don't think there is enough evidence to say they were. For every advantage men had they had equal or greater responsibilities to fulfill, and vice versa for women. Really the only 'unhappy' people in recent memory were the bored wives and daughters of the rich and then middle class. Edit: And lesbians.

That is probably one of the most significant problems from government -- it incentivises economically stupid behaviour. The perverse incentive to spend money unwisely across a whole range of things is the true economic cost of complex government expenditure programs. One major cause is the belief that if you want to support something, or are against something, the solution is to spend money on that thing. The spending of money is therefore a virtue signal rather than a tool to actually enact pos…

Well as a social science I would posit that they are very likely to be heavily influenced by feminist doctrine. Though on your second point I do also believe feminists are misandrists because the doctrine is misandristic.

Well the only reason why they posted it is that many people complained in the comments. Every time they opened up the comments section the whole thing was 90+% opposed. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of people writing letters or even complaining to the standards authority. Still totally one sided, and to be frank this does not even go half as far as it needs to go to even redress 1/4 of their bias.

That is incredible. She literally did make it all about herself. She went off on an incredibly long (and expensive) holiday and whilst she was away her son killed himself. She even went essentially as far in the first article to claim that a woman's life is worth more than multiples of men's lives.

Because we're so small that special interests dominate politics. Essentially we have a case where we have 'rule by the interested'. There isn't much that interests feminists more than domestic violence because they can use it to confirm all their biases, and shape public policy.

Most of which were created by government Teaching, nursing, secretarial, customer service roles etc. Specialisation that destroyed the traditional female role in the home alongside industrialisation. Can't put that genie back in the bottle, and specialisation has overall been good for society. True, but enough exists that it is an issue. A role that the police plays far more than men.

When the consequences faced by one side is weighted far above the other by people then you get a situation whereby inequality can thrive. Looking at it with a racial dynamic you can see it as well where a white female child goes missing and the attention paid to that far outstrips the attention given to a black child. See Madeline Mccann for example.

The whole protect/provision thing is becoming a lot less relevant. You can't go back to gender roles that were based on a societal structure that no longer exists. Women have jobs, violence is uncommon and government support is unlikely to get rolled back any time soon.

Definition 1: the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner. Well technically you could argue that men are oppressed due to the unjust and burdensome manner that they are treated by those with authority -- police, courts, public opinion and laws.

The negative tone doesn't fit the content of the article. The huge failure of feminism was that at a time of rapidly increasing productivity in both the home and work they sent millions of women into the workforce when in reality it should have been men reducing their hours of labour.

The idea of a UBI is based on a few very key concepts. People can't opt out of society. You can't just go somewhere else and pull a double birdie and live on your own mettle. When everything is owned by someone, and it is illegal to exist without income effectively therefore arguably a person without income is effectively a criminal. Alternatively they have to work for someone else. Giving people a back-stop in terms of income gives them a far better negotiating position. They can also choose to…

For one the spread of income over the spectrum, and the useful economic power out of that 'working class' income has increased and declined respectively. Furthermore the idea of an exchange has broken down because women can access these resources without doing anything in exchange for them (child support). Finally the level of 'skill' in these occupations has significantly declined, and the perception of that skill has also declined (mechanics say vs advertising manager). When practical skills a…

You may be reading a bit too much into things, and the men that write that kind of stuff also have quite a narcissistic bend to themselves as well. Of course there are biological/evolutionary reasons why men and women approach sex differently. Interpretation of course plays a big role in how the behaviours of people, and other people's responses to those behaviours are interpreted by outsiders. The issue here is that a lot of female anti-social behaviours are now acceptable, but the rules pertai…

I think the reason why they view themselves as entitled is because people on the whole tend to defend the status-quo, and oppose changes to that -- changes that they likely don't understand. This is especially the case when that person is privileged by society to having a different set of rules. Taking gender out and using ethnicity for instance: In New Zealand we have a group of people called Maori that were considered the 'indigenous' population.

Back street abortions + having unwanted children. Both are really bad. When people see children as a massive unwanted burden then it definitely is not good for that child, or the society that that child will eventually grow up to join.
/r/MensRights08/05/16 11:34 PM

Yep it definitely is. Both sides say that the other side is evil, and that they are doing evil things. However the fact that women are often deeply troubled by having an abortion is never discussed by the 'right to choose side'. Also the consequences of not having the option are not really discussed by the 'right to life side' and both sides don't seem to discuss the rights that men ought to have.

The fabric of society itself was changing and they take credit essentially for doing it, and then they re-interpret society before those structural changes through the lens of oppression based on modern societal structure.

I think that is a little uncharitable to be honest to say that women portray themselves as weak.

Actually it is the opposite. When women are fertile they prefer men with more testosterone. When they aren't they prefer more feminine faces. Essentially they have a cuckold instinct built in. The pill messes up their sexual selection because they tend to like men that are more similar to themselves. That's why a common complaint for women about men is that they 'hate their smell'.

Yes I completely agree. Regulations in many ways are one of the major 'economies of scale' bonuses large companies get over small companies.

I don't have any data to back it up, but I'm coming to the hypothesis that women have far less 'discretion' when it comes to not acting on violent impulses. What I mean is that seeing as the part of the brain responsible for processing social violence is smaller they don't have the same ability to process violent impulses as men. Men for instance don't pick many fights with people that are bigger than they are, and women on the other hand do almost every time they hit a man. In a way since men d…

Feminists are to rape what fossil fuel companies are to climate change. What I mean is that on the surface both kinds claim that they want to prevent 'the bad', but they have a conflict of interest as it isn't in their best interests to actually solve the problem.

I wonder about violence though. Since men have a larger centre for violence in the brain, maybe it means they can process violent impulses better. See men actually may feel emotions more strongly than women (according to biometric responses), so could the same apply to women and violence?

I know that high I.Q. is negatively correlated with sex. However it is correlated with income, and if the high income men tend to marry high income women. The babies coming from such marriages would therefore have an innate advantage as compared to babies from lower income people. It is the major confounding factor in the more socialist countries that want to achieve equality in education because these children start life with a major advantage.

Not sure why this is downvoted. Sorry about that. I really dislike it when well thought out longer comments get downvoted whilst no effort posts get upvoted. I think the large part of the problem is that the current relationship dynamic is set up in a way that causes the wife to lose respect for her husband.

They provided evidence that mothers were more susceptible to the negative health effects of sharing needles as addicts.

Because the service is specific to an underserved part of the community. It is something that happens a lot in healthcare because you get niches that need specific considerations.

It is a specific service for a specific group of people. Having these kinds of things isn't bad in itself because they can better target a particularly underserved group of people.

I don't know how we can turn things around again, without some sort of mass revolution. Well we could start by moving away from the policy of low inflation.

The next best thing to a free market is a fair market. They don't like the latter, but they argue for the former. Libertarians consistently in my experience argue not for freedom, but to entrench the current economic disparities. A significant and unaddressed problem we have for instance is the fact that the wealthy can sit on risk free bonds, bank balances etc without actually taking risks, and grow their wealth above and beyond the rate of inflation by doing nothing.

All you have to do is point to the fact men were raped more in the US than women, and you'll get your answer.

It is likely that the arrogance of the belief that somehow we are civilized, and that we are above actions that reveal the powerful instincts that deeply influence our behaviour, that makes us more vulnerable to the worser parts of our nature.

I read somewhere that the most stable marriages are marriages where the man works full time, the woman part time, and she does the majority of the housework.

Evolutionary psychology is one of the major keys to unraveling feminism and bringing about equal rights to all because it cuts to the very heart of their doctrine and debunks it.

The worst thing is having an 'unwanted child'. Men being able to 'abort' their responsibility means that women lose the incentive they have to get pregnant on purpose for their own selfish reasons.

Something has obviously changed, and maybe the thing that changed is that in a feminist influenced society girls are not benefiting. It could be an unintended consequence of one or several of the changes feminism has brought about. Now the question is what speci…

The idea about respect is a very interesting one. Though I think it fits better to say that males are specifically denied respect, and therefore crave it, rather than they specifically need respect.

I am stating that a society functions better when people can negotiate themselves from a much stronger position. People just cannot say no. So how can they negotiate effectively? It is very difficult to exploit a person unless that person is desperate. All it does is change the market power. People for the most part want jobs, they want to be useful, they want to be needed.

Capitalism isn't at fault really. We've been pointing at the wrong cause. See all capitalism means is that the means of production are privately held. It is the idea that the more hands hold the means of production the better it can be used. Moving the ownership of capital into fewer hands is not more capitalism really. It brings us closer to feudalism in reality. People understand poverty. They know that poverty is hell, and the consequences of being near it are hell too. That's why it works as…

That's an interesting perspective on the secret vs non secret ballot. I hadn't actually thought about the implications of secret vs not secret ballots. One thought experiment I always wanted to try was the idea of giving only say 1/5th of the population the vote at a time. By making it say once every couple of decades then people would take it a lot more seriously, and put a lot more thought into it. Statistically speaking it would be just as good a snapshot of the wishes of the population.

I think a continuation of that point is that since almost every eligible female voter was married then giving females the vote was needless duplication because men would cast the vote for the household essentially. The reason why feminists wanted the vote for women was likely because they wanted to give women political power outside of being married. I believe that the end in this case was the right thing, but the agenda behind it was not.

I'd say there's also a lot of overlap with the atheist, humanitarian, and libertarian communities.

The idea of sin changes, so for instance your original sin in feminism is privilege and the devil is patriarchy.

You could be right in a way. I always thought the end result of sexual liberation was something akin to casual polyamory. The reason for this is that I believe a woman's enjoyment of sex is related to the quality of the source of the sperm outside of a relationship. In a casual sexual encounter the guy only brings his genetics to the table -- I.E. is he tall, handsome, symmetrical etc. Even things like the strength of the erection and his 'stamina' in bed are tests of his genetic worth.

Feminists are empowered by rape. It gives them jobs, it confirms their biases and it makes people that ought to know better listen to them.

The real story is that the majority of the benefits of the switch to dual income households have not been felt by these households. Feminism by design or by accident has greatly improved the wealth and incomes of the super-rich considerably.

Does this explain some of the hate that gay men get? They challenges the sexual monopoly that women have, and the enforcement of social roles whereby sex is the reward for 'following the rules'.

There is definitely a sociopathic element to this. One lesson I take from this is to enjoy yourself. You're a far more interesting person if you're having fun no matter what kind of person you are.

You could preface the question also by saying '1/2 of all victims of domestic violence are known to be men'. 'There is a current initiative within the NHS to identify the instances of male victims of domestic violence as there is significant under-reporting'. Then ask the question however you like?

They have a word for that in 'toxic masculinity'. It's one of their 'we don't hate men, but secretly we really do' aspects of their secular religion. Expressing yourself in a 'masculine' way is offensive to them, so they want to 'cull it from the herd' so to speak. Looking at the way that boys are falling behind in school it seems that they are succeeding.

It actually goes back at least as far as the beginning of the 20th century. Check out "The Fraud of Feminism" or "The Legal Subjection of Men" by Ernest Belfort Bax, for the work of an early MRA."

I am quite egalitarian myself, but at the same time I see things that I could do that would make a concrete difference in the lives of men and boys. For instance the fact that genital mutilation is banned for one sex and not the other means that by bringing equality under the law for both is a relatively easy thing to change.

I guess it is a manifestation of the unstated belief that men exist to serve women. I recall reading women justifying mutilation because they believed that it suited their whimsical interests (looks, potential smells etc). Couldn't you also make the same argument for FGM in that it likely makes it smell nicer, possibly makes the vagina feel tighter (important for those desensitized mutilated guys), so really it is an act of bigoted hypocrisy that one is banned and the other is allowed or encoura…

It depends on the laws which pertain to marriage, and the person you're marrying. If the laws are relatively equal (no alimony/reasonable child support/custody), and the person you decide you want to marry is not offended by your personal views expressed here then it doesn't seem like a bad deal.

A lot more women take medication that interacts with alcohol than men. This medication in my experience with seeing people under the dual influence of drugs + alcohol can cause them to suddenly 'crash', or to be affected by the alcohol in an unpredictable way (sometimes more or less effect from the drinking).

People think that pitbulls are the dogs that bite vets etc the most frequently, but in reality they are not. The reason why they aren't is that when they bite their owners tell them not to because a bite from a dog like that is seen as a big deal. My point is that females likely do physically 'attack' more than men because we simply do not see it as being as big a deal.

Essentially friendliness is no compensation for the lack of confidence, and to go further friendliness means essentially nothing unless you are confident because without it you are not really choosing to be nice because being nice is the default/only position.

I don't want to get looked at when I am at the pool, so I wear a rash vest. My mother wears a full body bathing suit as well that covers her from the knees up.

IIRC men have more grey matter and women have more white matter. Women are just better at making links between what they have been taught because white matter is involved with making connections whereas men are better at figuring things out that they don't know because grey matter is linked with creating knowledge. I am sorry, but my understanding is incomplete here. As school is mostly about applying what you have been taught women have a natural advantage in that field. Essentially if you want…

Since when does doing better at school (on average) mean that it should automatically translate into higher wages? If society gives disproportionate rewards to the top performers, and men dominate the best (and worst) in terms of achievement and intelligence metrics then it makes complete sense that men would dominate the top positions in a meritocracy. I believe it further compounds when men are forced into a position where they have to perform due to societal expectations as a lot of men are d…

TLDR: Feminism enables women to work hard against their own best interests in order to advance the interests of the 0.1-0.01%. But seriously Elizabeth Warren articulates this far better with the two income trap video she made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GHg3GAeQ1Y Alternatively you can read her book. The problem isn't with the fact that women entered the work force. The real problem is that there was no economic compensation which enabled couples with two incomes to actually keep the econom…

One thing I wonder about is whether women are 'triggered' into action on chores faster than men. I notice that I hate having a messy kitchen more than my flatmates, so I end up doing most of the dishes as I hate having a dirty kitchen when I cook. Women seem to have a bit of a hangover from the 50's where they litterally had nothing much to do due to advances in home appliances/motor vehicles, so they cleaned the house to ridiculous standards. It seems that the house-keeping standards have carri…

I saved this comment, so may as well leave it here: There is the usual claim that male and female circumcision have no correlations but this is certainly not true. The first incorrect assumption is that the glans clitoris and the glans penis are identical structures in both form and function only having a difference in size. This is certainly not true. Granted, they both spring from the genital tubercle which is identical up to about 8 weeks gestation but from that point on, they follow differen…

If you take the pill having a period can be either optional, or timed to your convenience. Some women for some strange masochistic reason seem to believe that the period is a 'natural' part of being a woman when in reality women in modern times are having 3-4* more periods that women merely a couple of hundred years ago. This is likely a large part of the reason why there is a 2-8% pay gap between men and women (depending on study) after controlling for other factors. I don't know if women shoul…

The problem with this pamphlet isn't the fact that the depiction of this pamphlet is of a man striking a woman. The problem is that the sum total of all pamphlets only show this side of violence for the vast majority of them.

As a leftie I fully acknowledge the failures of my side of the political spectrum. I have seen first hand how feminist politicians justify contradictory positions where they support the rights of misogynistic culture over women's rights for instance. I have defended women's rights against feminists because I fight against injustice in all places I see it. How does that sound? An MRA defending women's rights against a trio of feminists? I don't believe that women should sit in the back, and I don…

Good luck with the transition. One of the reasons why I am here is to examine what being a male means on the other side of the equation. I had considered switching genders, but at this point I am more than happy to stay as I am. It was a strange feeling putting myself in the position of being a woman and considering the social implications of what beliefs I had about men might mean from that perspective.

The discussion of mens rights is defined in large part by gender studies which is dominated by feminism. Gay people often define themselves for instance relative to heterosexuality because that dominant, so they have to separate themselves, and define themselves inside what is often considered heterosexual terminology.

It is far too simplistic. Education by itself is pretty meaningless to most people, but if you combine that education with the exploitation of fossil fuels then perhaps you are talking about changing a society. The religious extremists likely don't like the latter because it means changing the traditional roles of males/females within their society.

This is where she got her 'statistic' that 19% of undergraduates are raped. http://www.aauw.org/what-we-do/legal-resources/know-your-rights-on-campus/campus-sexual-assault/ Kind of a contradiction to other statistics like from here: http://www.rainn.org/statistics where it says for instance that 60% are unreported, not 95%.

Just winging it here by the seat of my pants: If you asked me that on the street I would probably say that whilst women likely face more frequent minor examples of sexism in their daily lives men face less frequent but worse sexism on average per incident. I think the problem is compounded for men by the fact that much of the sexism men face is simply unacknowledged by both men and women.

I have to agree. I also admit that feminism has a problem with sexism as well. My experience of feminism isn't quite the same as for instance people from the U.S.A. because in my country we have a much more fair family court system from what I can tell in my reading here, so I don't share the same feelings towards feminists as many here due to a lack of personal experience. Degrading men is not only wrong from an egalitarian perspective, but it also hurts everyone. Even though I am an egalitaria…

I think the 'reverse sexism' was used in the original because it would make the audience automatically 'understand' that the point is 'bogus'. I'm not commenting on the existence of reverse racism, but I think the author was trying to tap into that reaction from their expected audience.

Im sorry, but I don't really see it as a mens rights issue. Mentioning the gender doesn't (to me) add anything to the story. In cases of violence for instance when boko haram killed the boys their gender was mentioned in the article because the gender was actually relevant because the reader might get some insight as to the motivations of the attackers. I don't see how specifically mentioning that all the deaths were men in this case matters except if you are building a case around excessive mal…

I don't see myself as less privileged than someone who is taller, better looking or smarter than me because it isn't something they can change.

An explanation is != to a justification. If I say that women go through menstrual cycles due to the way human biology works in relation to reproduction I am not justifying periods. It doesn't mean that I am pro endometriosis either. My closest friends are as follows: 2 European, 2 Indians, 1 half Indian/Maori, 1 Maori, 1 Japanese and 1 Korean. I love diversity, so it makes sense for me to try to understand by which mechanism my friends would suffer disadvantage because I am their friend. I also …

Statistically speaking? What statistics are there on this topic? People respond to things like ostracism as if it were a physical attack, so there is no clear delineation between the two concepts. Someone who gets accused of rape will likely be ostracised by most if not all of their community. The pain of this process could be greater, less than or equal to the trauma of being raped. I for one would rather suffer rape than the stigma of being a rapist.

I was using the common useage definition: fascism ˈfaʃɪz(ə)m,-sɪz(ə)m/Submit noun noun: fascism (in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practices. "this is yet another example of health fascism in action" In this case you could say that feminism counts in authoritarian (using the state's coercive power) as well as intolerant of other people's perspectives. In your case however you are even worse. What you are saying is that one persons life is less valuable tha…

People like people who are like themselves. If you're a mountain biking nut chances are good that you will have a disproportionate number of mountain biking friends for instance. Having social networks of like minded friends isn't some conspiracy to deny people their rights, merely it is a result of human nature. Another important reason for the different treatment of minorities is the way human beings use visual and auditory clues to find out about another person. Your accent and your style of …

If death was better than being enslaved then why is the death penalty seen as harsher than life without the possibility of parole? To carry this further -- given the fact that rape is a relatively common occurrence (used to be more IIRC) in U.S. prisons then even imprisonment with the threat of rape is seen as better.

Angry people make a lot of mistakes. It is a very inconsistent doctrine because feminism today seems to be whatever suits the speaker at the time they speak. I remember speaking to a New Zealand feminist politician who was 'ok' with women sitting in the back of Maori cultural events because she justified it by saying that women have a 'special place in that culture'. She went as far as to criticise other women who defied that cultural practice even though it was highly degrading to women as a ge…

I think an important angle not covered either here nor there is the fact that women who undergo an abortion suffer the same (probably worse actually) compared to those who miscarry. Furthermore women who have abortions don't have the same level of support and sympathy that women who have miscarriages get. This is one aspect I feel is disregarded by the people who fight for the right to have abortions. I personally support the right to have an abortion, but that is only because the consequences o…
