Department of Education says recruitment policies can not be employed to attract males into teaching because that would unlawfully discriminate on the grounds of gender I hardly believe that if women were underrepresented in Education, the DOE wouldn't be climbing all over itself trying to institute programs to bring in more women.

I don't think they were asking for a gay cake. Just gays asking for a cake. Big difference between having two grooms on the top of a traditional wedding cake, and having a wedding cake shaped like an ejaculating penis shooting miniature well-dressed frosting-sperm.

"abuse"... Nope. "misconduct"... Nope. "manipulate"... Nope. Oh well, at least they tagged the article with the word "paedophile". Even if it wasn't used once in the article. By all means, she's innocent until proven guilty. But this kind of hands-off tone would never be used if the genders were reversed.

some MIT kids that one of them shared with me the game theory about tit-for-tat strategy. I heard an episode of RadioLab about this. Some smart people ran a bunch of simulations and--as I recall--found that the best strategy for a slow but steady increase in peace was to retaliate on a 1:1 ratio... but to sometimes, randomly, forgive. Here's the segment.

but they need to find a better way to take care of them than to intrude on other people's space. Maybe the problem is that the bus/train/plane/subway seats were not designed to account for these ball issues. If this were a women's problem, do you think you'd be saying "99% of women have enough space so why do these 1% think it's okay to take more?" or do you think you'd be saying, "these seats need to be modified so that they can comfortably fit all 100% of women, not just the 99% who are within…

I'm genuinely asking: do you have testicles? Because they do need some room. And if you don't know what it's like, it seems a simple proposition to say, "Well, just sit there politely. What's the big deal?" I'll grant you, if somebody's spread out really widely, that's not really necessary (short of a medical condition.) But there does need to be some amount of gap, at least from time to time. 180°, no. But even 90° can take up a good amount of space, and I've definitely had days where I needed …

I hate that this is true, because I know several people with a feminist mindset who are perfectly reasonable. They recognize selective service as gender inequality.

Today's feminism is all about maintaining victimhood. The public faces of feminism have been throwing women under the bus for years to keep up this illusion. If they seem like victims, then the real sexists--the white knights who believe that these poor, defenseless women need their help to get by in this world--will give them money, attention, power... and these are the things that the professionally- and perpetually-offended are really after.

There's a wide spectrum of political ideologies in this subreddit, but unfortunately anytime politics is brought up here (or even casually alluded to,) a heaping dose of vitriol comes with it. It's unfortunate, but I don't think it represents a large group of people so much as it represents a loud group of people. I tend to avoid politically-oriented threads around here for just that reason, probably to my own detriment.

Are they really going to turn someone down and start again over a few kilobucks?

Behaviors commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, sexual objectification, trivializing rape, denial of widespread rape, or refusing to acknowledge the harm of some forms of sexual violence. The notion of rape culture has been used to describe and explain behavior within social groups, including prison rape, and in conflict areas where war rape is used as psychological warfare.

Rape culture 100% exists, not as some ambiguous discomfort with shifting definitions but as a real threat of expected rape. I'm talking about men's prisons, and the way in which prison rape is ignored, downplayed, considered to be not worth preventing, thought of as funny, thought of as deserved, and in some cases thought of as an inherent part of the punishment.

It's irrelevant whether the draft has been used recently, although Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has said regarding selective service that "registration provides a hedge against a catastrophe we do not yet anticipate." This was in 2013. And he's right - instating the draft is not something one anticipates. It could happen any time, regardless of how long we have gone without it.

legally enforceable inequalities This is why selective service is my go-to argument. It's a blatant inequality. Men have to sign away a piece of their freedom to get several rights which women get simply by virtue of being a woman. They don't need to prove that they have a closely-held religious belief prohibiting violence. They just automatically get the benefits which men have to earn. And if you complain about it, rarely is the rejoinder "we should abolish selective service" or "we should hav…

Just to be clear, I'm upvoting this not because I agree with her sentiment but because I believe her possession of such a hateful opinion should be known to all.

Hers may not be the worst kind of feminism but it's very close.

Insinuating women don't have agency is only allowed when it lets them escape blame. Women are strong and independent... except when they've done something wrong, then someone else made them do it.

In my discourses with several self-labelled feminists, I've found that for many of them, "patriarchy" tends to be a shorthand for the societal enforcement of traditional gender roles. Many of those I've discussed it with don't actively place the blame for patriarchy at men's feet (although almost none of them recognize that the name itself implies blame, or that the term is regularly used by others to shut down conversations or castigate men as a whole.)

Feminists already cause harm to women by supporting false rape accusers and thus minimizing the trauma of real victims.

I'm saddened by the high presence of drug use among those professions. In the case of strippers, I think that drug abuse could at least be somewhat remedied by the legalization of prostitution. Since many of these young dancers also perform sex acts for money, taking away the illegality of such a transaction would probably make the environment a lot safer.

I told him that. He said that our theoretical son, even if he did decide that he wanted to be circumcised, would be too afraid to do it for fear of extreme pain. He said it's better to do it when he's a baby, so he won't remember it, and it won't hurt as badly as it would later in life. I said that if it's not important enough for him to endure a little pain to look the way he wants, then obviously it wouldn't be a very big deal. Then my husband shook his said and said it's going to be his (hubb…

The back pay makes sense, in a demented way. They think (wrongly) that they were excluded from something they have a right to, and since they were (allegedly) wrongly excluded, they deserve to be compensated monetarily for the time they could have spent working the job.

Enjoying something our bodies are hard-wired to enjoy, and pensively seeking to engage in said activity as often as safely possible. WHAT A BUNCH OF PRIMITIVE JERKS

She really doesn't want to jump on the bed or tell me what's under it. She also sucks ass at hide and seek.

Abstinence-only sex education and other socially conservative sources like to scare people away from sex with tactics like claiming 100% transmission rates. Of course, the transmission rates are higher for females, but still not 100%.
