It's illegal, it's not easy, but honestly it's nowhere near as difficult as some would have you believe - consider that during the troubles in Northern Ireland, 1000s of AR18s and Barrett 50cals were shipped over. Islands are by definition full of spots where someone could import weapons unobserved.. God I hope I haven't just put myself on a list.

Men lack the social concern given to women, whether that's a product of our society specifically or something deeper I leave to better minds, so it behoves us to actively seek out and support those very few women who can not only see men's plight but are willing to call attention to it. Simply complaining that men will alone never get that kind of traction helps literally no one. At the end of the day, whether it is down to women in general acting out of self interest or genuine empathy, it does…

I largely agree with your post and to an extent with the ideas conveyed in the article - such calls are in principle reasonable, but only in a society that actually values such sacrifices. As it is men in the west are held to be the worst of the worst and are denied even the most basic of dignities. Where I would potentially disagree is that it is something that progressives are or should be at the heart of it.

I might be reading both his and your comments incorrectly, but I get the impression that his point is that it isn't a question of how marketable the message is but rather it's substance. By any reasonable measure, the Progressive movement has been deeply hostile toward men from its initial rise to prominence back around the time of Occupy Wall Street.

By 4 most kids have discovered the concept of lying in order to get what they want, by 7 or 8 many have learned they can use it to get others into trouble. This isn't some new concept here. Most parents will be able to tell you this. I explicitly stated this girl could not have forseen the consequences of her actions. But for her it was all about revenge - daddy grounded her and she wanted to hurt him back. So she told a lie she knew was likely to get him into trouble. Now you can ask how she ca…

Spoken like someone who has never dealt with kids. 7 year olds can be damned savages when they want to. She didn't need to know everything, but at that age they know lies can cause trouble, they know that well placed lies can get other people in trouble. She would have no idea of the consequences of it, but she knew enough. Throw in a troubled marriage and you have the perfect storm.

7 year old can be as manipulative as all hell, especially when, as in this case revenge is on the cards. I'll grant you she wouldn't have known the consequences, but she damn well knew that the lie she told would get her dad in trouble. Do I blame the parents? To an extent sure. But as I said to the other guy - who would you consider most likely to be telling a lie if you're in a strained relationship? The "innocent" doe eyed little girl? Or the fully grown adult with whom you're having issues?
/r/PussyPassDenied10/03/21 04:09 PM

She may not have known the consequences, but she knew she was lying and knew that the lie would get her dad in trouble, which is what she wanted for revenge for her grounding. The mother is an idiot and likely there were other stressors within that marriage. An "innocent" child telling you something might easily be believed vs a marriage which was troubled? Consider your own reaction to my pointing out that the child was culpable as to why she was believed.

Went on to state that whilst he agreed that the age of consent was probably right, that some kids matured enough that the could consent before that...

Well, one of two thing will happen if this continues: white men will simply check out in sufficient numbers to damage the economy, or they'll get angry collectively. If the former happens there will be direct government intervention into the universities to stamp it out. If the latter happens, well they'll absolutely sort out that supply issue they're having with racism they've been having. You can only apply so much pressure before they say enough.

Again, you mess with a primal urge like reproduction at your considerable peril, both on an individual level and a societal one.

War was certainly a way in the past, but technology has reduced the amount of pressure on the larger populous. You don't need to mobilise your entire population to flatten another country these days.

Unfortunately it'll take a massive shock like a complete economic and political reversal vs Asia before there is even a hope to redressing current issues. There is simply too much momentum, too many people with fiefdoms to protect, over abundance of both money and food to cause a reality check big enough to wake up to the above fact.

To our society's inability to compete with any similarly advanced one. Any country that does not employ this diversity system will have an demonstrable advantage in terms of what they get out for the the amount they put in. Half of your workforce quitting within 5 years of leaving education and maybe a 3rd coming back at all? In any industry that'll cause a problem but in the bleeding edge development that kind of loss is wholly unacceptable and utterly disastrous.

Pretty much, unless there is some outside pressure applied, the school establishment will wax lyrical about its systems to stop it. But they don't work; They didn't work 20 years ago and they don't now. The only thing that's changed is the sophistication of the rhetoric used to bamboozle the parents. Ultimately they want the victim to leave of their own volition rather than expel a handful of bullies. It looks better on the books you see.

I think the theory is that of you prevent them from engaging in entirely one way hateful rhetoric, they will back off. As much as they want their enemies silenced, the people trying to get a one way piece of legislation will never accept being denied the right to continue to attack men freely. It's an all or nothing gambit which comes with all the risks you might expect. Unfortunately, it's the only one realistically available given the politics involved.

You could argue that the Land Girls were forced to go to war, at least in the logistical sense.

Honestly, given the state I was in throughout most of my education due to depression, the idea of being forced into a class which essentially lays the world's ills at your feet and declares you responsible, whilst attempting to neuter any form of masculinity would probably have finished me off.

I fear that backlash will only start to come once such measures are enacted - consider the recent shock at a fraternity banning drunk girls from their dorms.

I said it in another thread and I'll say it here: If feminism keeps pushing the narrative that women are rendered utterly incapable after so much as a sip, the result will likely be a push for laws to protect them from drinking, ie women will be banned from doing it.

I wonder how long its going to be before someone starts pushing for laws banning women from drinking altogether - already in some states that have laws allowing restaurants and bars to refuse service if they suspect a woman is pregnant.

I agree with what you're saying, but from the colleges perspective they not only have to be seen to act to protect those in their care, but probably have insurance and legal liabilities to consider as well. If an accused student goes on to attack his accuser for instance, I can't imagine them getting a particularly forgiving response once its known that the attacker was being investigated for a rape and allowed to remain on campus.

Not exactly a fair comparison though, last I checked the Tudors and Stewarts didn't have the ability to drop thousands of tonnes of explosives and incendiary bombs from aircraft, or the the use of artillery capable of lobbing shells 25 miles with the accuracy of a few feet, or machine guns etc. By the standards of her time, she was just every bit as bloodthirsty as male monarchs.
