If you're open to a few general notes: I believe that the issue of sexism towards women is often highly exaggerated I was taught to never include words like "often" and "highly" in a questionnaire where people will be asked to agree or disagree. The problem is that people end agreeing or disagreeing with those words rather than what you're really trying to ask them. It's like if I asked you to agree or disagree with the statement, "paper cuts are incredibly painful." You might disagree ...becaus…

If you're a student of science, or pursuing a career in science, then I applaud you. I hope you'll consider the following feedback: commonly seeing "I see this all the time" is more likely a combination of selection bias (i.e. you're going to places where that thing happens) and confirmation bias (i.e. you're remembering the thing that confirms your belief, and forgetting the thing that contradicts it). For example, if someone says, "I think women are bad drivers because I commonly see women cut…

'they are afflicted, worthy of sympathy but not to be taken at face value' I agree that that's a likely ideological bent. But, I'll withhold judgement until/unless I can see the final results - plus, it is just a HS project. Something to think about though, OP: imagine that I surveyed a cohort of feminists and found, "hey! whatta ya know!! They all have a history of sexual abuse!!" How would you feel if I wrote a paper where the point was, "this explains why all these women gravitate toward the …

Some of them are dating older men, and some of them (probably most of them) are side-chicks to the top guys in their own age cohort. It's why tiktoks like this (specifically, the first part) go viral. This situation resonates with young women. They all have experienced dating a man and then learning they are side-chick number 4. Almost all women that age have experienced that, but almost no men that age could pull that off even if their life depended on it. The only possible conclusion is that a…

Seven (yes 7) years ago, I posted this comment in an /r/videos thread containing several citations to peer-reviewed studies, and a link to hundreds more, that concluded the same thing: women are more often the initiators of violence. That comment was then posted to /r/BadSocialScience/ (yes, you heard that right, citing peer-reviewed studies counts as "bad social science" if the studies contradict their narrative). Here's a summary of their objections: (1) ridicule. The title of the post pretend…

r/misandry has been banned. Here's some additional history if anyone cares. The subreddit was first created more than 12 years ago. There's a thread in /r/mensrights from 8 May 2009 noting that /r/misandry had been banned, but /r/misogyny was still up: https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/8iw8z/why_is_the_misandry_subreddit_banned_while/ Three years later, in 2011 there's a thread in /r/redditrequest (the place where one can request "ownership" of an abandoned sub): https://www.reddit.co…

Please consider the following: you are not conscious of disadvantages men face I realize that you're a man. That's irrelevant. You are conscious of things which society has taught you to be conscious of. Please just pause for a moment and think about the truth of that statement. You brought up Beauty and the Beast. You must know that it's an old story. And you must know that when it was written, and for many years afterwards, nobody found it offensive, not even women. Why? Well, because they wer…

he says they should be treated differently He doesn't say that either. In fact, the reason he makes the statement is that it's a subtle argument that we shouldn't treat them differently. The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. They are treated differently. Not "should" but "are." It's a bit like saying other countries treat the US differentl…

Typically, a pay gap is seen as prima facie evidence of sexist discrimination against women. But Uber drivers are all paid exactly the same amount per minute and per mile. So how is it possible that a pay gap persists? What other possible factors could there be? Well, this time, we have extensive data. Uber knows exactly, down to the millisecond and the millimeter, where every ride starts and stops, and what path it takes. The linked article is about a paper that examined that data and determine…

The same rights of men that OP is upset about. Vague, unresponsive answer. Be specific. If there are no muslim men's rights being infringed, then there were no men's rights being infringed The men's rights issue is the right to be held accountable for my actions, and my actions alone. As I am not a muslim, it is unfair to associate me with their bigotry. The men in the video, on the other hand, choose to be muslim, and they choose to deny women access to a public space.

The "or not" men don't behave that way. Therefore, it's wrong to group the "muslim" men with the "or not" men and suggest that this is something men do.

I'm sure you're aware that you wouldn't have gotten a date even if you had bought her a pizza. You might have had a bit of fun with it though, by ordering yourself a pizza - delivered to your own house - and then placing a little card on it with the words, "Kelly's Pizza" and sending her a picture of that.

For all their talk of breaking down gender roles, feminists are particularly brutal to weak men. This blog post is long, but well worth a read. I describes what happened to MIT professor, Scott Aaronson. He's a staunch feminist. But he criticized MIT for deleting the decades of coursework by Walter Lewin, after Lewin was accused (and by the way, we still don't know exactly what he did - it could be a false allegation or something blown out of proportion) of sexual harassment. Aaronson did not de…

I was replying to that since my post was about that. okay, so I said, "you don't get to claim 'it's different when women do it' and then give a difference in physical power as your excuse." I went on to say that the reason you don't get to claim that using the excuse that you used is that the difference in power is actually the opposite of what you're claiming. You're saying, "A is more powerful than B" but I gave examples (backup up with scientific studies, I might add) that show "B is more pow…

you understand how women might be made uneasy by a stronger / likely taller human That's not going to fly. It's true that when men victimize women, they use muscle, but when women victimize men they use other people's muscle - either random strangers, through automatic ingroup bias (which I'm sure you've seen demonstrated in videos like this), or the considerable muscle power of the state. So, sorry, but you don't get to claim essentially, "it's different when women do it" and then give a differ…

Two things about this are newsworthy: the conflict of interest.

I would never ever want to eliminate objectification For those people who do want to eliminate it, who think it's just the worst thing ever, I suspect their position is that you can only ever put something into a single category. Either (they believe) you think of a person as a whole person, or you think of a person as an object with some utility, but never both. They're wrong in that belief. But I think the belief is the source of their anger over objectification. You'll often see them use phra…

Canceling it is a victory because that would be done quietly. Nobody will ever know that it was canceled. Feminists should let it proceed because it wont garner much visibility. There will probably be less than 100 attendees and nothing new will be said. There'll be no national media attention. The way they lose big time is if they disrupt it, because that draws attention to it. The biggest possible loss would be if there was video from inside the conference and the keynote speaker began with so…

I think it's been that way for a while. About six months ago I had this conversation in /r/pics.

And it's pretty typical of reddit, that the guy I'm arguing with is snarky and sarcastic but generally unable to argue his own point. ...so he runs off to /r/badhistory for reinforcements, and of course, he has to misrepresent my comment in the badhistory thread.

If the official feminist movement were serious in its opposition to stereotypes, it would give a fuck about the plight of the male nerd. When confronted with this, they will claim that "the plight of the male nerd" is just another way that patriarchy hurts men. Thus, the solution is more feminism. To put that another way, feminists bullying men is evidence that feminism helps men.

all these cases I've seen of women punching men seem to always break the rules of "you can walk away now and end this" and they don't At least part of it is that they don't understand how much stronger the men are. There is really nothing in our society that tells women they are physically weak. In the name of empowerment, we show them movies and video games in which women kick men's asses. They honestly do not know. Will all the controversy about the damsel in distress meme, maybe someone needs…

It's true that all the feminists are on the left, but I don't think that in and of itself is an argument that this is a left/right issue. Consider this: feminists are now invading Atheism. They're doing it through that Atheism+ movement. They're rhetoric is really effective at shutting down dissent in groups that aren't prepared for them. If you even politely disagree with them, they call you a "rape apologist" or something. So imagine a situation, five or ten years from now, when the moderate a…

any view of what constitutes a "reasonable" restriction on a potential rape victim's freedoms to avoid the threat of rape is on a highly subjective and culture driven sliding scale. how about not getting blackout drunk?

So, are you advocating celibacy then? Because I have some bad news for you: every girl is having sex. Do you want to know why? It's because sex feels good. If you could get it that easily, you'd be doing it too. There's nothing at all wrong with having sex.

Perry says this: I feel lots of empathy for the real parts of the MRA complaint but then Danny responds: I've tried the empathy path before with feminists and I learned the hard way that it doesn’t pay. I think that Danny should have replied, "I feel lots of empathy for the real parts of feminism" - I mean, if a feminist thinks he has the privilege of saying which parts of MRA are "real" then perhaps we have the privilege of saying which parts of femnism are "real."

a vagina is required by most definitions of rape Where that's true of a society's definition, it illustrates that the society is fundamentally unequal. You cannot say on the one had that rape is about power and not about sex, and then on the other hand say that only one sex may be the victim of this crime. See, the reason it's wrong to take advantage of a drunk girl is because she's drunk, not because she has a vagina.

To: Human Resources From: Mr David Re: March 24th Incident I have received your letter concerning Mrs. Lash's complaint. However, offense taken at having a door held open does not meet the "reasonable person standard" outlined by the EEOC. Mrs. Lash is mistaken in her claim that I "then proceeded to chuckle at her." If I laughed, it was not in amusement, but out of embarrassment that any adult would take offense at such a common courtesy. Indeed, I would very much appreciate an apology from Mrs.…

Eventually, she's going to decide that since she's given you the best years of her life and not gotten what she wanted, you need to be punished. There are plenty of ways for her to hurt you.

What kind of system do you have in America to determine those sums?! There's a formula. The inputs are the relative incomes of both parents and the percentage of custody that each parent has. Theoretically, if each parent earns the same amount, and they split custody 50/50, then $0 child support is paid. While if parent 1 makes $X and parent 2 makes $0, and custody is 0/100 then child support is $x/2 Sounds pretty fair on paper. What actually happens is that the mother will get nearly full custo…

None of them seem to involve actually asking the woman what they want That's because they're predicated on the idea that drunk consent isn't really consent. If they ask the woman what she wants, she might give the wrong answer. They want us to have this image in our head of a completely passed-out girl being raped. Obviously.

The Don Drapers of the 1960s were a rare thing indeed. I think you find that most feminist ire is based on this fallacy: they compare the situation of the top few men to the situation of all women. Even the most core feminist ideal, one that we can all get behind, that women deserve the right to vote, has this fallacious underpinning; "just like men have always had" - except that men haven't always had it. It was typically men that owned land, which was a minority. And more commonly, any example…

Getting snipped + no marriage or cohabitation IS sufficient. The guy in the video isn't the father (thus, a vasectomy wouldn't have helped), he didn't get married. He didn't cohabitate. He was never accused of rape. So no, that's not sufficient.

There are ways to mitigate this. Require that all the money goes into a bank account that's separate from the mother's account. Require that the mother's only access to the account is through a check-card and give the father the ability to see that account - and if he sees the mother spending the money on herself, give the court the authority to require that the mother repay that money. Obviously, it wont stop every abuse, but it would be a good start.

Yes. Indeed. That's correct. A much more precise definition, reflecting the word's use by mainstream feminism would be: an invisible dragon breathing heatless fire on which everything that I do not like can be blamed. Evidence of the invisible dragon is to be found in the dragon's many works. For example, women are paid less - therefore there is an invisible dragon that breathes heatless fire. QED. Also, if you point out that you cannot see the dragon, you need to check your logic privilege

It's because feminism is part of the "in" crowd, or at least, they fancy themselves to be. Feminism is (supposedly) a friend to all the oppressed. Men are the oppressors. Men don't need rights. Men already have all the rights in the world. All of them. Indeed, the only possible reason for a men's rights movement is to hate on women - obviously. And it's not surprising (to those who have bought into this worldview) that the oppressors also hate everyone else too. See? Simple.

they control everything and their goal is to repress women for no real reason. Bonus: they're not very good at it and they've set up a system where men die earlier, go to jail more often, and are generally the objects of suspicion in society. Also, even though they control everything it has never occurred to them to, for example, make a movie that paints feminism in a bad light. Yes. Patriarchy controls everything. Isn't that obvious.

What they are basically saying is "Misandry isn't real because I don't feel like acknowledging it". More correctly, "I say that misandry isn't real because I vehemently hate men and I'm afraid to acknowledge what that says about me as a person." I'm not an animal rights activist, but I can certainly recognize that there are instances of cruelty toward animals. Well, I imagine the people who inflict that cruelty tell themselves things like, "oh no, cruelty toward animals don't real" - because if …

Thanks for offering support, kind words, and good advice. But I have to disagree with this part: that society does not recognize women abusers hurts causes on both sides. Because you wouldn't use that logic in any other situation. When society paints blacks as criminals, when society does not recognize white male criminals, you correctly label that as privilege. You wouldn't claim that somehow harms white men.

It's easy to shoot this meme down. Is there anyone who thinks the patriarchy is getting stronger? Certainly not. By any measure, there is less of it now than there was in say, 1950. So, patriarchy decreases over time. But violence by women against men is on the increase. It's easy to see this in popular culture. You cannot blame violence by women against men on patriarchy. If it was the result of patriarchy, it would be decreasing as patriarchy goes away.

years ago, before I came to reddit, I had a long list of peer-reviewed studies that included the phrase "women are better at" or some variation, and I counted positive vs. negative connotations. For example, "women are better at processing language" is considered a positive connotation. Did the same for "men are better at." Most of those, by the way, were negated statements. As in, "it's often said that men are better at" - in other words, the researchers are stating a stereotype in order to sho…

Two things: It's called selection bias. The population of people who are dating obviously contains more people who aren't relationship material, because the people who are relationship material tend to enter into and stay in relationships. Thus, if you're judging "men" based on the men you go on dates with, you have a biased sample. We men do this too. When we're dating, it seems like many of the women we meet are odd.

On a similar subject, I have a friend going through a divorce and he confided in me that it's because he can't have kids. That's the second time in my life I've heard that story. My boss (a woman) and another woman in our office can't have kids, and their husbands stayed with them. I wonder how common this is.

There are mens rights issues, but this isn't one of them. That hatred of men is socially acceptable is indeed a men's rights issue. If you disagree with that, then I invite you to put up or shut up - I invite you to head to any feminism forum and tell them that misogyny isn't a women's rights issue. But we both know you wont. Because, we both know that you agree wholeheartedly that the prevalence of hatred and bigotry that women face is a valid issue for them to discuss. It's only when men speak…

My favorite thing about SRS is the cognitive dissonance. For example, consider this: someone on reddit posts a racist comment. They say, "there's a difference between black people and n*ggers" okay. That person is a bigoted idiot. I support SRS for pointing that person out. But wait, I noticed that SRS posters frequently call people "neckbeards" and I notice that their reasoning, as expressed in this comment is exactly the same as the reasoning that the racist guy used.

women are actually very much respected and desired in tech industry This is my experience as well. I don't hear professional women scientists or engineers calling themselves "girl."

She doesn't have a degree in any science or engineering field. She's just a blogger. The issue is with the way women, or society, treats tech industries. This is a …

I believe that insurance rates are based on actuarial tables and reflect the actual amounts that insurance companies pay out. You might still argue that this process is sexist. After all, even if I had sound statistical data that showed that members of a particular ethnicity were more likely to have traffic accidents, most people would find the idea of adjusting rates on that basis to be a bit racist.

Most people are back to having sex after a week. I don't think so. Took me a month. My testicles were swollen and it hurt to walk for a couple of weeks. If I stood up too fast it felt like I had been kicked in the groin. Then it got better, then right around the six-week mark when I about to go in for the first sperm count, one testicle started hurting again. Dr. said I injured it but I don't remember doing anything. It healed up in about a week and I've been fine since. Try to relax.

I consider myself a feminist, and this is truly how I act in all of my relationships. That's a correlation, but I don't think it implies that one causes the other.

When qwerty133 said that men don't call women sluts, I think he was talking about his own particular location (the US) and socioeconomic sphere (middle class).

statistics show that it's women who don't give a fuck about men, not the other way around. Google it. Hypothetically, what would I be googling exactly to determine that women don't give a fuck? If you mean this: "the overwhelming majority of divorces are initiated by women" I don't think that supports the thesis that women don't give a fuck about men. I think that's evidence that they get tired of one man and move on to another one. Men do the same thing of course.

take all male suffering off the table and sweep it under the rug. I think a more accurate deconstruction of their thought process is, they look up at the winners in society, and they compare them to the average among the women. A great example of that kind of thinking is this quote by Hillary Clinton: "Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat." She's comparing the victors among the men, with the average women.

First time I had sex in college, it was with a 30 year old grad student that had been bugging me for months. I was 19. She gave me tequila and berated me when I refused to drink it. But I did drink it. And we did have sex. Another time this happened I was in the Army and in a foreign country out drinking with buddies and I don't remember much of anything. I don't feel like I was raped though. I don't feel traumatized or anything. I'm just agreeing with you that it happens.

Studies show that married men have more sex than unmarried men. I know it's hard to believe, but there it is. Look, the secret is to date long enough to see her bad side, and to observe how she is when you have a disagreement. And most importantly of all, don't be afraid to break up without any reason at all. Most men don't do any of those things. Most women don't either. Most people see the red flags from the person they're dating and just completely ignore them. And when things get really bad …

the pressure is higher on women to seek association with the Big Kahuna male It's not just pressure. Opportunity cost is also a factor. For a male, the opportunity cost for sex is very low. For a woman, it's very high. If a woman mates with a male and gets pregnant, then she cannot (productively) mate with another male for about one year.

Men pay for dates because women are in demand. Everybody wants a woman between the ages of 25 and 35. I imagine that when I'm 50 I'll still be chasing 35 year old women. That's not a cultural thing - it's a fact of our species. A woman's mate-value is temporally constrained. A man's is not. Thus, the majority of men are chasing a subset of women. These women become scarce and their value skyrockets. Men pay for the privilege of the date if they are dating women of higher mate value.

Happy wife = happier life. I'm sure that's true. But the underlying and faulty assumption is that one creates a happy wife by kowtowing to her. In fact, women instinctively find submissive men repulsive. It makes them angry, and they don't really even understand why - it's just a feeling they have. Women do not want an equal partner in a relationship. They've been told that's what they want, so they spout it as their own opinion. But in reality, that's not what will make them happy.

Yeah I don't know. I was there this year for the google conference and when I went downtown at night, there were still people panhandling.

The western world really doesn't have a problem with homelessness. Oh sure, there are some people.

For a guy, being a nerd or a geeks means that you are so devoted to something that you become a social outcast. For a girl, it means she has a facebook account. Seriously, most girls who self-identify as geeks are little more than casual gamers or bloggers or something. They're users. Obviously, there are plenty of exceptions. My point is that searching for the monicker doesn't really help.

never date a single mother Good luck with that after about 30. I don't think that women can ask for child support without also claiming the guy is the child's father. I don't think she can say, "no your honor, he's not the father, but I'd really like him to pay up." I mean, maybe if you were dating her when she was pregnant. Maybe if you married her or something.

This is good advice. People stay together because they're afraid to be alone. Don't do that. The on thing I would add is that you shouldn't dump her. You shouldn't make an adversarial thing. Don't say you're leaving because she's crazy or whatever. Just say that you really like her, but you're not sure the two of you will work in the long term.

That's one interpretation, and I wont attempt to beguile you of it.

Her error is in assuming that power is a two-dimensional zero-sum slider. In other words, if you (as a male) have +2 power it necessarily means that she (as a woman) has -2.

My point is that while Kim Jung Il may have a great life, Steve Jobs has just has a better life. Kim Jung Il doesn't have to lift a finger. He has servants working for him. So does Steve Jobs (or pick any millionaire). However, millionaires in the West have things that Kim Jung Il doesn't have (unless he gets it from the west). Millionaires in the west can enjoy iPho…

There are plenty of good women out there. The problem is that as you get older, there are fewer and fewer of them available because they get married, they (along with their husbands) devote themselves to family, and you aren't meeting them on the dating market. Meanwhile, the supply of crazy women is constantly renewed through divorce. What would be awesome advice for youngsters at whom your post is aimed, is how to identify one of these good women - and then how to treat her well and have a hap…

I agree with you. I think the resistance you'll find on this subreddit comes from the fact that you're talking about different kinds of women than the people who disagree with you are talking about. You're talking about women who are worthy of deference. And to your credit, you seek out those women. I think the people disagree with you are imagining an amalgam of all women they've ever met.

They claim in the show that women were more likely to step up and help the victim. My explanation for that is two-fold. First, men are used to being browbeaten and in general, we've stopped speaking up. As a man, if I offer help to a woman, people assume I'm trying to have sex with her. People assume a man's intentions are evil. It has a chilling effect.

Exactly, they made up the 1-6 figure, then used that to calculate that there are millions of rapes a year, then used that to claim 90% are unreported. Circular reasoning based on made up statistics. How about this: I claim that 90% of rapes are falsely reported. Oh, it sucks when someone else makes up statistics. Anyway, there's just no way that there are more rapes than all other violent crimes combined. That's just ridiculous.

The BOJ statistics ignore prison rape. The wiki article, Rape Statistics says that 190,000 rapes were reported in the US in 2005. Then goes on to claim the 1 in 6 lie. There are 150 million women in this country. If 1 in 6 is raped and we assume a 40 year window for the majority of those to occur in, it means there are nearly 4 million rapes a year.
