Unless Kutcher had some other involvement in the movie, I'd say it does sound like Portman got the shaft. I would've expected that her agent would've been the one to negotiate her pay. Of course this was 2010-2011. Kutcher may have been more media relevant then.

This is pretty much what happened to Cassie Jaye and The Red Pill. She was a classic liberal, but dared to make a documentary about the "wrong" subject and now it's all personal attacks from the left, banning the movie and so on. All that did was drive her deeper into the MRA space where she wasn't going to be judged, could discuss any issue, and so on.

In my opinion no, because it's not about the father or the mother but instead the child. In this case, like it or not, the man's DNA is "out there" being carried on in his child so he has a responsibility to financially foot the bill. I, and the rest of society, shouldn't have to pay for his DNA going on into the future. On the flip side to this, at some point we'll have artificial wombs and we may also be able to transfer a fetus from the mother to that womb. In that future if the woman wants t…

A problem with groups is that the people in them have a wide opinion of views. The creator of The Red Pill was a self described feminist, but her views became at odds with quite a few others who described themselves as feminists. This group also has a pretty wide opinion of views. There are going to be extremists like you think there are, but they don't make up the entirety of the group. But because the entire group itself tends to get censored in the public discourse you'll tend to find an anti…

There are often mental issues involved that keep people in abusive relationships. It's one of the reasons we've spent 30 years building support systems to get women out of those relationships. Men really don't have those support systems.

Yeah, the problem is less the degree than the thought in your own marketability. I've known a couple girls and a guy that went through the art school/graphics design phase but just couldn't fit their skills into a marketable trade. And that was totally their own fault because they treated it as a self improvement exercise instead of a "get skills for a job" one. On the other hand I know a guy who went into computer graphics design, learned 3d Studio/Rhino/Maya/etc and ended up working for Sony d…

The truth of the matter is children really don't need a lot when it comes to the material world to flourish. Decent shelter, enough calories to grow, and a world to play and learn in. Most of our history was built by men and women that grew up hovels and spent their afternoons playing with dirt. What's vital to kids though is a supportive and stable environment with good role models to pattern their behavior after. And it sounds like you and her dad are doing very well on that front.

My suggestion is to stop trying to connect with people and instead focus more on connecting with the world. There are many enjoyable activities that you can do alone that'll keep you centered and balanced. I've always been a "world connecting" type of person and things like hiking, kayaking, bike riding, sailing, or even just sitting outside during the afternoon and reading a book is what works for me.

She's whatever she needs to be in the current moment. I don't believe she's anti-man at all. She's just catering to a specific voting demographic.

Imagine putting on a dress and makeup (if you're a cisgendered guy who doesn't do this ever) and having to look at yourself. I think I look like a clown. I've always felt how we socially push various looks onto each gender was kind of bizarro land. It's something the feminist movement really went off the rails and lost traction on ages ago. It's like, "Let's talk about how men and women are exactly the same" is odd to me when the women are all painting their faces while the men aren't.

Eh, not really. Men have always been more valued by tribes and society. You can see that in how girls are the typical victims of infanticide and you only have to look at the results of China's one child policy. The country is flooded with too many men because parents used sonograms to gender select for boys. Women might have been more protected by the tribe, but certainly weren't considered more important. If anything women were just considered a necessary evil so you could have more boys that c…

Well, here's the study itself, feel free to poke holes in it: http://mensrights.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Aggression-in-British-Heterosexual-Relationships.pdf A problem with many current domestic violence stats is they often go off of reported statistics. And men are far far less likely to report domestic violence than women. It's like saying domestic violence against women in the 1950's never happened because police weren't writing down reports of it.

It's part of a very old social stereotype driven partially by biology. There's sort of a drive for men to have a "pure" or "innocent" woman and that's been a social thing for thousands of years. Consider the age old fascination with female virginity. Then there's always been this sort of male sexual fantasy of the experienced man corrupting or turning the innocent and naive women into a sexual being. So this is a very very old stereotype. Why it's so old and why it's held up for so long is becau…

It's not the same environment. Supporting women/feminism is an easy way of virtue signaling. This is why political candidates talk about the wage gap and why the media gives so much air time to women's issues. Bringing up "men's issues" pretty much makes you a pariah. So the fight for those in the public right now is even getting people to acknowledge issues exist for men without the person they're talking to laughing or thinking the speaker is a woman hater. So you can bring up your domestic vi…

Men test better in spatial abilities. There have been studies that've shown that it's down to culture, but any 1 or 2 studies isn't going to be definitive. As far as rifle shooting itself, in sport shooting I'm not sure if there's separate men/women categories, but I know as a sport the sexes are considered pretty equal as shooters. More men are into it, so more men shoot better number-wise. But stand alone shooting at a target might not translate into military shooting. You need to be able to e…

The implied message of wage gap is that men earn more for the same work. When that's confronted, then it's really more about society in general and how women earn less than men in general. But what really blows my mind is all the media attention a 70-79% income disparity gets, yet no one ever brings up the "death gap" where 92-93% of workplace deaths are men. I mean, it's both a way higher percentage AND we're talking about actual death vs not getting as much money. The bias is fucking absurd.

It's really more about pushing the feminist "ideal" of the male, which is pretty much sexless. Frankly male sexuality in general tends to be under attack from this circle. Meanwhile in the real world people know what women like. Which is why male actors tend towards the Daniel Craig rugged/strong/aggressive types.

Yeah, but men are also signaling wealth to women for sex and I don't think it really runs in the other direction so much. My favorite bit on this is from the movie Crazy People: https://youtu.be/DGVeZ4XLo4Y?t=57 Today it is more socially acceptable for a woman to be a "cougar". So they can signal wealth for young men. But it's still socially frowned on in a lot of circles. Oddly the whole cougar phenomenon may have done more to promote income equality for women than feminism has in the last 20 y…

It's about social value. For a man social value is tied more to their career and income levels. It doesn't matter that Steve Jobs was a deadbeat dad and all around a general asshole. He was successful in his career so we put him on magazine covers. For women social value tends to be tied more to looks and being a good person. This is why they wear makeup, buy $500 purses and are into self improvement. They don't do this to impress men. A man wouldn't know the difference between a good brand shoe…

Novel writing used to be a pretty male dominated field. That changed a lot in the 70's with writers like Anne Mccaffrey and several others who really broke through and went main stream. By the 80's women writers were as common as dirt and I even remember rumblings that publishers preferred female writers because it was sort of fashionable. Honestly today with self publishing I don't see how there would be any bias one way or the other. Women probably make up the majority of the book industry bec…

Even though men are more likely to take dangerous jobs than women, I don't even know if you could pin it down to being danger adverse. Horseback riding is really dangerous yet it's a female dominated sport by a long mile. It just happens to be a sport that appeals to women more than men, probably due to the relationship with the horse. Men are more likely to be into motorcycles, because of the mechanical/tinkering aspect.

Yeah, we all care about looks. We also have filters in place that make it so we tend to go after people who are around the same "level" as we are. Even then, it's not an unhealthy thing to fantasize about a 10 when you're a 5 or 6. Even if you're in a relationship with another 5 or 6 and happy, that doesn't mean you still won't fantasize. Both men and women do it.

Yes white people get shot by police. That doesn't invalidate my claim that black men and white men open carrying is treated differently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvW_zBvJlsA A lot of the initial anti open carry laws were precisely because of black men carrying guns in the open. Look up the Mulford Act. Of course this is a difficult situation to test.

I disagree. If you're a white man and you open carry an AR-15 in a place where it's legal you might be met with a cop saying "Excuse me sir, why are you carrying a gun?" But if you're a black man it's going to be "Get on the ground!" There's a specific stereotype to being a black man. That doesn't mean that all men aren't being stereotyped, aka the bumbling husband.

Love is a socially acceptable form of insanity. It's not a state to base decisions on. There should be more reasons than personal love of someone to marry them.

I think artificial inflation of intelligence isn't really what's at play. The SJW crowd tends to approach things from the angle they do because frankly it's worked for the groups in the past.

There's two stages involved you need to work with. The first is the initial collection of evidence and making sure people are safe. In that case it's best to act as if the accuser has some validity to their claims and act accordingly, as long as you don't violate the accused's rights. Then when you get into the prosecution stage you act as if the accused is innocent.

We live in a much cleaner environment today than we did 40 years ago.

I've seen this type of behavior all the time. So much so that it pretty much seems the norm in marriages or long term relationships. What's really sad is as a male friend to these women they'd never treat me like this, because you don't treat your friends like crap. But as soon as a guy moves into the relationship zone it's like all bets are off and respect can go out the window. It's always felt really messed up that they treat a male friend with more respect than the person they love.

The problem with this is he's using his wife as a test case. A relationship with a wife or girlfriend is a completely different thing than one with a friend. The relationship dynamic allows for her to bring up emotional stuff she's over reacting about, because that's part of the relationship job: listening to your SO vent. So from that perspective, your wife is going to come off as more emotionally unstable than a male friend who isn't going to put his baggage on your doorstep.

I think there's a lot more issues involved with black men, they have a lot more to deal with. But I also think that the current culture's bashing of the good male stereo-type doesn't help any. To put it another way, if society is pushing men down it makes it that much harder for black men to pull themselves out of bad economic situations. We should be celebrating men and manhood, have good strong solid rolemodels, be supportive of men trying to achieve education, success and celebrate fatherhood…

Congrats. Realize you got a lot of emotional stuff to go through over the next year. Focusing on yourself helps a lot. Hiking/kayaking/nature stuff really helps, as does working out or absorbing yourself in a new hobby. Good luck.

If you're a man, this is the proper thing to do. Whether it's a restroom, fitting room, etc etc. Other men simply won't bat an eye, freak out or raise a fuss if there's a chaperoned girl around.

I'm personally not a fan of it. Honestly I don't see any reason why the wife should change her last name. Does it really help if a husband/wife have the same last name these days? What to do with the kids though is a bit more complex. I'd probably give them whichever last name works better in society. A less common last name is better(less confusion with online searching, no fly lists, etc etc), though some last names are kind of weird(mine is).

I dunno. Men tend to not lift the toilet seat and just pee all over the place. It fucking sucks when I gotta take a squat, because I usually end up having to seriously wash down the damn seat. I'd totally see it pissing women off since they always have to squat.

Make some female friends, especially the kind that you want to date/fuck. I know it sucks to be "just friends" with a girl that you want to fuck, but you'll learn a lot from hanging around them, not the least of which being comfortable in your own skin around that kind of woman. I've practiced this over the last few years and it's worked really well for me to get to a point where it's "easy" for me to approach for a hang. Prior to that I wouldn't even have the nerve to ask a girl out on a date, …

I don't think it's at all safe to "practice" CPR on a live human. That's what CPR dummies are for.

This line of thinking pretty much ruined my life. It's taking me a long time to be comfortable, to be okay with the idea that I can look at a woman, have a base carnal desire and have that be an okay, perfectly natural thing. It still makes me uncomfortable because I don't want to "impose" that on girls, freak them out. It's hard for me to get past. I'm 38 and have had 1 girlfriend(for 2 months) in the last 20 years because I don't approach women in that way. I have lots of female friends, they …

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Men can be carriers and not all women will be vaccinated due to religion/ignorance. So wouldn't it make sense to vaccinate the boys too? Just wipe this crap out of existence already

What I find funny is in the advice the new husband has to be given a chance to "prove" himself. Why, exactly, does he have to prove anything?? Some chicks are damaged goods(a lot of guys are too). The best thing you can do is learn to spot them and steer clear. A chick that wants to run back to a guy that beat her definitely has some mental issues going on.

Every individual is different, but "as a whole" what I tend to see in women is: They're insanely uncomfortable with their bodies. Most have a poor body image, many will even dress or alter their behavior to hide parts of their body they don't like. Many crave attention. Men want women, men go after women(not really the other way around), so the attractive women get a lot of attention from this. This can be addictive and quite a few women act in ways to get more attention. Women love to get fucke…

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