I'm selling my house after ten years and have purged a huge amount of stuff that I was keeping just because I had room to store it. The more spartan, uncluttered environment looks better, is easier to clean, and is generally nicer to live in. When I get my new place I'm going to be a lot more careful with my purchases and what I keep since I'm downsizing (smaller house, smaller yard).

I have no complaint, I'm simply pointing out that you interpret events narrowly. You're perfectly free to view world events through a warped lens and perfectly free to promote that skewed perspective but you should at least acknowledge that a "stable and peaceful" middle east would most likely deny you that same freedom of expression. In any case, I can recognize ideological zeal when I see it and am done with this conversation.

I think we now know what your "agenda" is by that statement ;-) That I think Israel is a poor ally to the US and that the US would be better off washing its hands of the entire region? You seem to be under the mistaken impression that I think there are any good or worthwhile actors in the middle east and southern asia. I don't. At best there are lesser degrees of barbarism.

I don't deny that US / foreign interference is a factor, I'm simply not pretending that the ME would be stable and peaceful if the west wasn't involving itself.

Not really relevant AFAICS. If we're discussing instability leading to civil war and a refugee crisis it's quite relevant but your analysis appears to be a mile wide and an inch deep. Who said anything about it being rosy? But it lasted 6 and a quarter centuries, unlike any government the US has put in power in recent decades. Ya think there might be a reason? I'm going to go with brutal dictatorship.

It is due to the civil war and conflict with ISIS which has causes more numerous and complex than "foreign interference". For example, did foreign interference cause a multi year drought that wiped out the agricultural segment of the economy resulting in food shortages and migration to Syrian urban centers? If you don't see the connection, you must be as blind as a bat. You seem to think that US involvement in the region is the primary cause, and maybe you're right, it's hard to say with so many…

What's going on in Syria isn't remotely as simple as "the US bombed Iraq then started bombing ISIS". Sure it's fun to walk back through the chain of causality until you find the scapegoat you're looking for but Syria under Assad had major issues long before ISIS became a problem. I'm all for pulling every last American out of the middle east and letting them sort their shit out on their own or deal with the gentle ministrations of China and Russia.

Posting your own blog content as a means of driving traffic is a little questionable but rather than simply ignore it, please consider the following: The black background / white text design doesn't render well on all platforms and can be difficult to read due to an effect called halation in which minor deformities in the reader's eyes generate a halo around the bright characters. For that reason, light text on a black background is a poor choice for layout. Additionally, the multiple colors of …

I imagine that scientists would love to more closely examine the development of awareness and intelligence in utero but then how does one test a fetus for developing intelligence without potentially harming the fetus? Questions of intelligence, however, are fairly pointless. Dogs are demonstrably more intelligent than a human fetus but we have no qualms about euthanizing dogs. From a moral perspective the important question isn't intelligence but personhood i.e. at what point the developing fetu…

The law has literally no chance of being passed. It's a media stunt. She knows it, the other politicians know it, dogs know it. Treating it as if it were anything other than a political tactic intended to garner media attention for another issue is naive if not downright stupid. Every word posted and every moment of thought given to this bill is time and energy wasted; a distraction from real issues. But the outrage and moral indignation feel good so here we are.

The abortifacient that is being restricted is only for use up to 8 weeks. So at the most, we're talking about something about the size of a gummi bear which has just about lost its tail and webbed feet. The brain has formed only the most basic structures and nothing remotely resembling cognition is going on.

Abortion policy in the US is a political landmine and the men's rights movement would do well to stay as far away from it as possible. Her bill is silly and she knows it won't pass; she's only using it as a means of drawing media attention to the restrictions which are being placed on an abortifacient. This is yet another tempest in a teapot and nothing to get worked up over.

You got lucky and were exempted from that civic duty during the five year gap in the requirement that is required of most men in the US. Registering for the selective service has been a fact of life for virtually all men in the US and soon it will either be a requirement for young women as well unless it is dropped altogether. Who's "one of the stupidest motherfuckers who ever walked this earth" now?! I'm sad to say that you appear to still be in the running for that particular award.

While lip service is played to both parties obtaining consent, cases like this make it clear that the working model is that it is the man who must obtain consent from the woman while the woman is under no obligation to obtain consent from the man. It's surprising how few college age women recognize this as the same infantilization of women we've seen throughout history except paradoxically dressed up as ensuring women's equality.

How does one prove that a sexual encounter was consensual? You basically have to film all your sexual encounters to ensure policy compliance. I say this with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek since it's such an outlandish response but it's literally the only way of demonstrating that consent was secured and not revoked during the act.

Because he didnt do anything wrong. I've seen this story in a couple places and the Yahoo reporting isn't very good. Apparently the kid has been asked to stop both by the girl and by his teacher a number of times.

The "bordering on sexual harassment" bit is ridiculous but apparently the kid has persisted in passing the girl love notes long after he's been warned to stop. It's insane that sexual harassment policy is how the administration tried to put a stop to the kid's behavior but the long and the short of it is that the kid needs to stop sending the girl love letters. Like so many stories these days, this one is essentially bad behavior all around: the kid persists in sending the notes after being aske…

This is likely to end the selective service registration and conscription. Women were exempted from selective service registration based on them being excluded from combat duty. Without that exemption there is no legal justification for exempting them from selective service registration. Since very few people are willing to accept women being subject to the draft, I expect that selective service registration is likely to be dropped for everyone.

Hijacking the top comment but if there is any legal decision likely to end conscription and selective service, this is it. With a very small number of exceptions, women have been shielded from conscription for all of recorded history. But now, with the demands that women be treated equally and the removal of combat restrictions there is no legal argument to exempting women from conscription that does not hinge on arguments which would be repudiated by feminists. Congress is going to be caught be…

So you have one adviser talking about implementing a required term of federal service similar to how some other nations have a required national service and the potential that women may now be subject to selective service registration and that's enough for you to conclude that the long term plan is mass conscription? If you honestly believe that this represents a probable course of events then, and I don't say this lightly, you might want to consider therapy.

I understand your point, I simply don't think it's anything to be upset about and that you're blowing it out of proportion. That's what "tempest in a teapot" means. Hypotheticals about what might have happened if he'd limited access for any other group are irrelevant. That isn't what happened.

Just to clarify, this isn't a center giving the service away. It's a public figure - an individual. It is hosted and supported by districthallboston.org which is a private charity organization.

Headline should probably clarify that Namazie is a Muslim apostate which is why her presence was opposed by the Goldsmiths Islamic Society (GIS). It's fascinating to watch social justice ideas wielded as a weapon against unintended targets.

Headline is a little misleading. It isn't the same group setting up the catch 22 but rather one group ridiculing men for not conforming to cultural expectations (real men want sex all the time) and another claiming that all men are potential rapists. This sort of thing is to be expected when you push back against cultural norms. Tebow's decision is in line with his religious faith and while I may think that faith is foolish, his decision harms no one so I support him in choosing his own path.

I'm not a fan of the "white men / everyone else" dichotomy but the center is giving this service away so they may have more flexibility in who they give it to especially since it isn't a "no white men" policy but rather a cap to ensure that other demographics are ensured access to a limited resource. Since both lists filled that means that demand exceeded supply so its not like empty appointment slots are sitting idle while a white man sits in the waiting room (metaphorically speaking) This cent…

I just felt it would be good to compare never married women to married men because those were the highest earners in his examples. It wouldn't be a bad thing to look at but the focus was the effect of children on earning so you want to isolate as many other factors as possible. Marriage blurs the picture of individual earning.

One thing that confused me was why he compared never married women with no children to never married men with no children. You have to control for as many factors as possible when comparing the performance of different groups. He wanted to see how people did with children out of the equation since having children is part of a host of life decisions that drive men to earn more and women to trade earnings for time at home.

I think people are largely bitter not so much due to the fact that hypergamy exists but that we have this cultural lie that it doesn't. We're expected to behave as if it isn't a factor in women choosing men or deciding after a few years of marriage to "trade up". It isn't the hypergamy itself that pisses people off, it's the dishonesty surrounding it that does; especially when young men mistakenly believe the lie.

If the men's rights movement has any hope of being perceived as more than a political fringe of crackpots then it needs to avoid becoming another wedge issue in the the right/left political divide. If you want to tie men's rights to a host of other heavily contested issues of economics and political philosophy you should do so with the understanding that you won't be gaining support from conservatives who are happy with the current state of men's rights but you will lose support from liberals wh…

You're mistaking how ideas are tested and weeded out within the scientific community to how ideas are evaluated in the general population of humanity. Spend a little time outside of your STEM bubble and you'll see that the bulk of humanity take a much more "faddish" approach to what is true. If you don't believe me, read business management or education periodicals for a few years and observe how they run from one model or methodology to the next with only the slimmest of justifications.

I don't know about Hillary but Obama was criticized because the median salary for men in his organization was higher than the median salary for women. The funny thing is that this was clearly a microcosm of the workforce in general and yet the defense that men and women were filling different roles wasn't extrapolated to the larger wage gap issue.

You seem to be confused regarding what freedom is. Being free to take some action means that one is not barred from it by the law, not that one is free from the consequences.

He's saying that women have a larger number of choices, on average, than men with respect to their role in life. Men are largely pigeonholed into the "primary economic provider" role while women have a greater freedom to choose their role since "primary economic provider" is only one of many roles available to them. This means that there will be generally fewer women than men competing for jobs that maximize the "primary economic provider" role. In this sense, women are in control of whether the…

You're sort of missing my point. Everyone serves but decide in what capacity i.e. cleaning park benches or military service. You're also getting a little overdramatic. Selective service is currently inequitable since it is only required for men but it's been forty some odd years since anyone was "ripped from their families and sent to die horrible painful deaths alone overseas".

Conscription and personal liberty are generally not friendly ideas. I imagine the "taxation is theft" crowd would view any compulsory service as slavery. In any case, as long as there were non military options, compulsory service increases the pool of people who would consider military service and thus would be good for a volunteer military. It doesn't help our current situation that our volunteers were held in service long past the originally agreed upon term of service.

Children don't have the same understanding of consequences that (most) adults have so we don't treat children the same as adults until they've passed a bar where they are less likely to thoughtlessly make life altering choices. The laws are also in place to ensure that children are not taken advantage of by older, more cunning adults who might prey on their lack of experience and po…

I'm going to break character here for a moment an tell you that if, as an adult, you had sex with a 15 year old girl your ass should be thrown in jail. The case isn't about two kids fooling around. This case is about an adult taking advantage of a child and have no doubt, fifteen is still a child. If you've done the same as an adult then you're a despicable human being and it's scumbags like you that give the MRM such a bad reputation.

Part of recognizing that men and women are equals is taking women down off the pedestal that our culture places them on. In doing so you have to recognize and accept that women are just as capable of all the negative behaviors men are. There is nothing in /u/Clockw0rk's list that women aren't capable of and I haven't personally seen women do. This is the point where you say #notallwomen and I will disagree. All women have the capacity for deceit and worse. Recognizing that is not hate, it's the …

Considering that the biological differences are based on differences at the genetic level (XX vs XY), Dr Konner is indeed putting forth an argument based on heritable genetic superiority, just not based on race.

Indeed. Dr Konner is in for a rude awakening if Ms Clinton is elected US President.

She is one of the more influential public figures on the internet simply because there are so many eyes on her and she's managed to turn a divisive topic into a very lucrative revenue stream. The interesting thing is that Feminist Frequency is two people: Anita Sarkeesian and John McIntosh. While Ms Sarkeesian may be the public face for FF, Mr McIntosh is very clearly the ideological force behind the pair. Ms Sarkeesian doesn't appear to have the ideological will to power to truly be successful …

"Bigby's Groping Hand" is more effective as it can grope multiple times per round if cast with a higher level spell slot.

This is fiction. I've been in school disciplinary situations before and this is not even remotely how they play out especially in the case of one student assaulting another. I'm surprised her daughter wasn't named Albert Einstein and a passing commuter train didn't stop and universally applaud these strong women.

Thank you, that was the phrase I was searching for but couldn't get off the tip of my tongue.

The phrase financial abortion is poorly chosen and far too heavily loaded. It does not emphasize that the father both supports the mother's decision to choose whether to carry the child or not but at the same time is choosing to give up all rights to the child as well as all responsibility. Too often the discussion is cast as a man attempting to avoid responsibility while ignoring that the man is also relinquishing all rights with respect to the child. I don't have a good phrase off the top of m…

If women didn't want abortions, they wouldn't have them. That is an unbelievably stupid thing to say. What women who have abortions want is to not be pregnant; to not have to bear or raise a child. An abortion is a painful and heartrending experience for all but a tiny fraction of women. The fact is that sometimes we have to choose from a set of options none of which one wants or likes. This is why we have the phrase "choosing the lesser of two evils". We choose something painful or unpleasant i…

I'd say that feminists so publicly attacking each other over discussions of the wage/earnings gap should be of interest to the men's rights movement. At the very least is drives a wedge into an otherwise unified ideological front which can be used to discuss the actual sources of the earnings gap.

Amanda Marcotte has made a successful career and developed quite a following as a demagogue so I have no doubt that she's intelligent. Whether she is a cynic or true believer remains to be seen.

"There's something wrong with the men of your generation." No mention that her predicament is the result of her choices. She chose to pass on marriage when she was younger and focus on her career while the men of her generation who were interested in marriage got married and had children. Now she complains that the ones who are left aren't interested in marriage or at least aren't interested in marrying her. This is the reality that lurks behind years of being told that "you can have it all" whe…

A few pointers for your next attempt: Slow down. You're speaking too quickly which does not give your viewers time to absorb the point you're attempting to make. Watch a few documentaries and videos from popular youtubers and pay attention to their cadence. Lose the sound effects. They're a distraction from the point you're attempting to make and coupled with the rate at which you're speaking make following your line of thought a challenge. State your premise, support it with evidence and argume…

I'd say that testosterone increases one's willingness to take risks which is a relatively neutral quality. Aggression and impulsiveness are interpretations of increased risk taking which carry some negative connotations.

The saddest thing is that if the sequence of events you've related is true then it all could have been avoided by Jackie simply asking her crush out on a date rather than concocting an elaborate scheme to maneuver him into initiating a relationship.

I remember the article / study /u/gov_took_my_baby is referring to but can't find it. I did turn up some very interesting articles with a google search of "boys perform better on standardized tests". I found the following particularly interesting as it references the discrepancy in standardized test scores and links it to a willingness to take risks. Essentially where a boy will eliminate some options and then guess a girl will often skip the question entirely. http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/rei…

I can't believe people are still giving her money. The fact that so many people haven't caught on to the fact that Sarkeesian and Macintosh are grifters just goes to show that P.T. Barnum vastly underestimated the rate at which suckers reproduce.

meninism is a bunch of people trolling the perpetually offended. Once they started to get a few bites it was only a matter of time before the t-shirts and selfies started showing up. These people are mocking feminism because feminists are easily mocked and easily offended.

As a result, Geary says: "Women are more likely to rely on landmark cues: they might suggest you turn at the 7-11 and make a right at the church, whereas men are more likely to navigate via depth reckoning -- go east, then west, etc. That would explain a game my gf used to play with me when we were out and about. We'd be someplace and she'd say "point to our house" or "point to the bridge" or something like that and I'd point without a moments hesitation. To her it was like some sort of magic tr…

Anita Sarkeesian is a snake oil salesman making money off the latest in a long list of moral panics. She should be ignored and any project she's associated with should be shunned.
