I can appreciate critique, but I think what irks me and probably others about your way of doing it in this comment chain is portraying it as (1) unimportant, or (2) as if the men deserve it to begin with because it will inevitably lead to murdering rapists and not just innocent people. Let alone I dont think many here believe that being raped is worse than being murdered (and that it is then proportional response)

idk she was arrested and went to jail for it. And people, right here not only in this thread but on this comment chain, are saying shes justified. How you dont see that as an issue is absolutely wild. This seems like a very weird hill to die on when we could focus on stuff that more meaningfully affects average men who don't rape people. Because positng an article and having a stance is "focusing on it"? What a weird an asinine take. Especially considering the finality and severity of literal mu…

It's a directly relevant topic to men's rights. Men accused of rape should be afforded the right to a fair trial. Whether he did it or not. And if he did, he can rot in jail. But encouraging this is a great way to punish more innocent men. And men are accused of rape far more than women are - so this is effectively an issue only affecting men. When all it takes is an accusation, what protects anyone from being killed unjustly?

Probably 98% of the time, yes. But not always. Ive personally had that happen once. Later, she explained that she was just very shy. We were very young though, like 18. She made it very clear that same night she was still very much interested. Still, I wouldn't recommend proceeding as if there's any interest.

Ok, uh, NGL I see what you mean by "not his type". Maybe this will help: I don't find you attractive. At all. HOWEVER, if you were my roommate and you just were up front and told me "hey, so...

You shouldn't just be talking to women. Being the friendly, open person that strikes up conversation easily with men and women around you, both with people youre interested in and not, is good.

Yes, and every man accepts the risk that the woman can do whatever she wants with the pregnancy after sex. I'm not seeing how acknowledging risks is related to management of results. The logger wears PPE. They also can and should seek help to get the prosthetic after an accident. Even if they werent wearing PPE. I see pregnancy the same way.

I think the general consensus here is yes, it does. Not saying you for sure think this, but it sure seems like a lot of people in this thread think this is some sort of "gotcha" on people here. Really, it's just showing some very anti-abortion folks as hypocrites to think "woman should never be forced to take child to term" and "man should never have to be an unwilling parent upon discovering pregnancy" are somehow unlikely or even mutually exclusive takes.

I don't have citations off the top of my head and I'm not interested in digging them up. However, I want to point out that even in my college womens history course, the professor drilled home a few points: while men were the focus of most topics we wrote about, women and men were seen as VERY different... but two halves to a whole.

Law requiring you use someone's preferred pronouns, for instance. My issue with it (and I think most others too) is a fundamental one and not one specific to transgender issues. If your name is Alice and you were born a girl with XX chromosomes and present as a cis woman and want to be called a woman (i.e., like the majority of people)...

the odds ratio of 1.13 for lifetime sexual partners obtained with the face-to-face mode of interview indicates that the probability of infidelity increased by 13% for every additional lifetime sexual partner (pg.150) I find it hard to believe that a person married at 19 with 3 partners prior is over 276 times less likely to cheat than a 34 year old that had a few years of casual dating and slept with 4 people a year in their 20s.

"The Default should be to not have the baby" Umm, no? That would be infringing on the womans rights. I think you're misunderstanding what that person is trying to say. I don't think they're saying "woman is forced by law into not having child". I think they're saying "the default, mature decision that both potential-parents come to by talking, should be to agree that they should not have the baby if one does not want it". Hence using the word "default". Not "should not be allowed" or "made illeg…

I hear that a lot and that's fantastic if that's what your hypothetical son (or anyone) wants. It can pay well and most is work that's critical to keeping our society running. But it's hard work.

Since you're going to get into semantics of "men" vs "males"... No. Colleges largely do admit children. At least in the US. Many (most?) college applicants are in high school and apply in the winter months. Roughly half still wouldn't be 18 by that point. I wasn't 18 until a couple weeks before my classes started. So no, colleges are admitting boys and men.

I'm still not understanding why youre mixing the issues. Or why you don't think gender equality in the draft wouldn't be a way to "abolish" it. This feminist point you're pushing ignores the reality of right now in favor of a hypothetical ideal.

I was talking beyond the US. But I agree. But I'm not following whats hard to understand about setting the precedent that it's not just a thing men should have to do. Many of my soldiers are women. They're just as capable. There's no reason our policy should be "in the unlikely but literally always possible (even if "outlawed") event that we reinstate the draft, women don't have to show up for screening for duty fitness"
/r/MensRights02/12/21 04:29 AM
3

But that's irrelevant. Not only could there be scenarios where a draft is critical to a nation's survival which far outweighs "we signed law that it's illegal" (and would just nullify it), the framework of it is what matters more. It doesn't matter how unlikely it is, it can come back. It's like writing a clause that your shareholders get money before lenders if your company goes bankrupt "just for fun because it wont happen".

So by your logic your parents owned you by right of "I gave you life" and the government should've not intervened had they decided "we want to beat this little shit to death"...

One of the other current top posts is about "what if all women just stopped using dating apps?" The post says it's created a warped view to see all women as disposable and things to be used. Women as disposable. The lack of connection to reality is actually astonishing. Hell, I agree with the sentiment that we all see people as more "disposable" because of them (but is that even bad?

You can celebrate or criticize the reasons for war separately from those fighting in it.

Yes it's bad but if there is no exception for minorities or those who lack power to speak out against groups who dominate and abuse them we'll leave the door open for far more injustice Can you provide a specific example as to what you think is acceptable discrimination for me? Because right now I just don't see any situation where it's okay.

I still feel like that's a little shy of what I think is important: Call it what you want, but discriminating against groups of people is bad, period. "Sexism", "reverse sexism", "evening the score", "fighting against the patriarchy"... it's bad. The people that say "I'm not a __ist" seem to imply that their actions/beliefs aren't bad because of how they define said-actions/beliefs

Fiber technically contains calories. Sort of. Insoluble = effectively 0, soluble = 4 Personally, I do not find fiber filling I have a hard time believing your brain is wired to perceive hunger differently than everyone else (outside of placebo). So if I had to guess, it's probably because you're consuming mostly insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is what gives you the sensation of being full. Try oatmeal.

Fiber is much better for if you're trying to lose weight. Fiber is filling, and isn't a macronutrient - which means no calories. edit: to clarify, this is of insoluble fiber, which makes up the majority of fiber content in almost every food Oats, beans, and vegetables in general are your BFFs.

In the original argument, there was no romantic relationship and no sexual intimacy was shared. There was a romantic relationship.

How about the emotional state of the individual who's friendship is being rejected? Or do you think rejection of sexual advances is more important than rejection of friendship?

That's not a fair assessment. Why is the person that's offering the friendship entitled to a friendship? That's not just unfair - That's bullshit.

Try to think of it with genders reversed. I'll assume you're a guy for this example: You start seeing a woman - it was always with romantic intent, we weren't good friends beforehand. After a few weeks, you decide it wasn't going to work out. You offer her friendship because you think she's cool but aren't interested in anything more. Is it misandry for her to say no? HELL NO.

The best advice I have for making friends (applies to picking up women too): Do what you would do if you already had a bunch of friends (or "had the perfect woman").

There's a lot of ways around it: She didn't know she wasn't raped when she said it, so just improperly said she "lied" (ex: ex-mormons saying "I was lying to myself" - isn't necessarily a true statement, etc.) She is mentally ill She was coerced into saying she lied She didn't fully understand what she was admitting to lying about And I'm not even a professional-bullshit-peddler, and those aren't even case-tailored.

Simple middle ground: allow the defendant the choice to have the case open to the public, and/or to have their name published.
/r/MensRights30/06/14 12:27 AM

The exception of course would be if the accused consents to having their name published. That's the key. The often-overlooked reason why the accused have been allowed to have their names published is because once-upon-a-time, a local politician & cronies could have you thrown in jail under whatever made-up pretenses and nobody would know to be upset because they never even knew about the case. That's one extreme end. The other is situations like this. We need a middle ground here.

The point is that gender is not a determining factor in likelihood to abuse kids. The argument that it matters whether or not the occurrence observed is an accident or not is ludicrous. Hell, it's not even consistent logic unless you believe the pay-gap is not due in large-part to choice, rather than bias. Your views continue to baffle me, ever since you've began commenting here.

We're in a bit of a conundrum when it comes to some disgusting views, though. If we don't downvote what we believe to be vile, disgusting views - we're lambasted for it and it's shown to at least be tolerated. Then there's disagreement on what's considered "disgusting and vile".

There's a different kind of subreddit-specific "shadow-ban" that applies to your IP. It prevents known trolls from continuing to make accounts and force mods to ban them.

It's usually feminists that will spout off things like "women have much more reason to be afraid of walking alone at night".

For clarity, I believe when /u/the_milkweed said: I am a mra only because I am egalitarian and happen to have a penis.

i'm not sure you've understood this yet even though at least one person has tried, so i'm going to try again but i'm going to type in caps so maybe you'll actually read and internalize it: INTENT OF THE OFFENDER IS BESIDE THE GODDAMN POINT. THE POINT IS THAT WE CAN DECREASE THE NUMBER OF INCIDENCES BY TEACHING EVERYONE HOW TO AVOID DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. YES, WE CAN STILL TELL PEOPLE RAPE IS BAD. YES, RAPE IS A SHITTY FUCKING THING. But NO, NOT TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO AVOID RAPE WILL NOT HELP REDU…

i think that intent is beside the point. regardless of intent, we still will generally fault the driver/rapist. the point was that the argument that "we shouldn't teach people how to avoid being victims" is illogical and impractical - it will only serve to increase the number of incidences.

i agree with you but i may be able to present ramblingn0mad's point a bit more clearly to you as i agree with it as well. i think you're both wary of the extremes of the other's solution and would be fine with a moderate version. i believe that ramblingn0mad is saying that if we minimize saying "rape is bad", that the desires to carry it out will overwhelm the social stigma currently associated with raping someone. his/her fear is "if rape already occurs as it is now - what happens if not everyo…

what does that have to do with the comment you replied to? the comment you replied to talks of teaching people to not rape AS WELL AS how to avoid situations where they are likely to be raped. i'm not seeing the direct connection. based on your comment it seems more like you're angry and looking to get others worked up as well (see: troll) as opposed to responding directly to the comment you're replying to.

most of my friends, including myself will be getting a bachelors degree by 22, if not, 23. so while i can't speak on behalf of the entire subreddit, i know that in my life i'm not considered abnormal. in fact, i grew up in an area where if you didn't get a bachelor's degree, you would be widely regarded as an idiot or lazy.

actually, while i completely agree that this is TRIVIAL, she did make a valid point that it may as well be changed to "women". i think it can be reasonably assumed that the gym obviously has/had no intentions of any gender bias by saying "men" and "ladies". however, i'm not a fan of crucifying her for this as she didn't act as if it's something that didn't let her sleep at night.

i'm sorry, maybe i missed something, but i don't know how that would change anything? by the way, i'd like to add: i've absolutely loved this thread. a lot of thought-provoking discussion. i'll have a lot to think about while i try to fall asleep in a few minutes. thanks for the discourse :P

i agree with your entire post, but i'd like to nitpick one of your sentences a bit. Nobody should be forced to take responsibility for a child they didn't want. i'm undecided on how i feel about abortion (other than it shouldn't be illegal). however, i disagree with how this sentence is worded, albeit not necessarily the premise. while my version isn't perfect by any means, i think a slightly better way to word it would be: One party should not always be at the mercy of the other in deciding whe…

as the eldest of 4 children from divorced parents, i can say that while your suggestion for "solving" finances by granting fifty-fifty custody has good intentions, there's almost nearly no way that would work out well. my parents were divorced quite nastily. fifty-fifty custody was granted to each, and thankfully my mother lived no further than a few miles away from my father. however.... 50/50 custody never equates to 50/50 payment. not even close. child expenses are not uniformly divided out w…

you're either fucking stupid or a troll. like the OP of that pathetic story. my girlfriend tells me "stop" every once in a while while we're having sex. ....because it's hurting her and she needs me to give her a second. or change positions. or she heard a roommate come home and our door isn't completely closed. or she forgot to take her birth control and needs to pop one. not once because she didn't want to continue to have sex. the fact that you think the man couldn't have possibly mistaken a …

yeah, i was half-joking. some people, to be, are just not worth the effort. there's many others out there willing to even consider that they could be wrong. people like that aren't seemingly one of them :c

agreed. i'm not sure how i feel about the death penalty. i've really tried hard to find a stance that suits me, but it's an issue i just can't take much of a stance on. i feel pretty strongly about it, i'm just not sure what's best. on your point of frustration over her lying and changing her story, though: don't worry, she's destroyed her credibility and now is much more likely to be found guilty. however, they still have to entertain the idea that whatever story she settles on is true.

i understand and agree with you. in the end it comes down to whether or not she's actually deluded enough to not see the hypocrisy in the things she's saying. if she does, then shame on her. if not, well, still shame on her for not being able to see it when it's pointed out - but not necessarily any more than anyone else stuck in their own convictions.

Once they take the oath, expert witnesses are supposed to testify "the whole truth," not just "the truth that confirms the case of the people paying me." yes, but you have to understand that in her mind, she clearly believes those two are synonymous. i'm not saying she ISN'T biased, but she doesn't see herself as biased. it's like calling up the defendant's best friend to the stand and asking the best friend to talk about how great the defendant is. the bias is obvious, even if the best friend b…

she's holding onto the self defense claim, though, in hopes of, say, 5-20 years in prison instead of, say, life in prison/death penalty. however, i don't understand at this point how her defense isn't to admit total fault in the murder and hope for a chance at parole/only life in prison/reduced sentence/whatever (unsure about what she's facing) due to saving everyone time and money.

exactly. come on people, let's be honest - not every feminist thinks the patriarchy is behind everything. plenty of feminists would think otherwise. the minute we start collectively demonizing and stereotyping their movement, we're against everything BOTH /r/MensRights and /r/Feminism stand for

lupe fiasco did a song meant to criticize much of this. i wouldn't go as far as to say it's (nowadays) perpetuated merely by record companies, but partially, certainly. good video/song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3m3t_PxiUI

EXACTLY! as an egalitarian i feel like i'm beating my head against a wall when it comes to dealing with feminists sometimes (you guys have your own issues but still) "hey, i know i claim to be trying to advance women's cause, but let's stereotype both genders to strawman/bullrush a slight criticism of my work!"

19 percent of the women reported experiencing a completed or attempted sexual assault since entering college, while 2.5 percent of the men reported being perpetrators. maybe the 2.5% is sexually assaulting the 19%? :S

Whatever you have against feminism is coming from your own insecurities. no. on a meta level, i agree with what many of those who support feminism want to achieve: women having the exact same rights as men. however, the idea that feminism lines up with that is a bit of a stretch at times. many objectives rallied under the "FOAR FEMINIZM!" banner are misguided. again, while i know many feminists want equality, the steps taken typically aren't the right ones for true equality. However, on the whol…
