The problem here is that someone is attacking you. You don't necessarily have a lot of time to calibrate your response. They are attacking you, so the degree of "duty of care" you owe them is very limited. By responding in only a very limited fashion you are probably putting yourself at greater risk. So while what you are saying is fine in theory, in practice you are saying that you should respond only weakly if at all, and that the safety of the aggressor comes before your own safety: in a nuts…

with no painful recollection You need to learn about memory. Conscious episodic memory is not present in very young infants but other forms are. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory#Types_of_memory Other forms of memory are present and lead to the retention of the emotions of trauma. This is why children who were circumcised cry twice as much when immunized by injection six months later. You bet they remember, even if they cannot tell you in words.

You see the same thing with excessive corporal punishment. And (less often) with child sexual abuse. These things tend to run in the family. The logic seems to be a) It was done to me. b) If it's harmful, then I must be damaged. c) I can't deal with the fact that I am damaged. d) So I deny that it is harmful, in fact I am loud and vociferous about it.

No the next step is to make the standards for women the same as for men. There are women who can meet these standards, and they have a right to compete. Except we have a blatant double standard here.

The logic, if you can call it that, is We live in a patriarchal society Therefore women are disadvantaged. Any seeming advantage of women is just benevolent sexism.

Ultimately a society needs more than political power in order to survive. Postmodernists often play the political game very effectively but they contribute roughly nothing.

Feminism is for equality between the sexes in the same way that the Klan is for equality between the races. In short: not at all. Feminist organisations have always actively worked against men's interests. One recent example - the destruction of due process for men in college accused or sexual assault. Not allowed to have legal representation, not allowed to question their accuser, and found guilty on the basis of 50.0000000001% probability.

I can't speak for a botched circumcision itself. But dying from one is not acceptable and is a case for malpractice. Any surgical procedure has risks, and may result in bad outcomes, including death. This is one reason why surgery should not be undertaken unless there is a clear benefit versus the risks. In the case of circumcision of children, such a clear benefit simply does not exist.

You completely misunderstand. The objection being raised is that the system is completely unfair to men in cases such as these. A woman can move in with a guy for a while and then claim child support for someone else's child for 15+ years. These laws make it easy for liars, cheats and psychopaths to exploit men. Some women are like that, but not all. The point is that the system should not be set up to enable those people.

You seem to be assuming that there has to be a fix. Maybe people like things the way they are. Women trade off safer, cleaner and more pleasant jobs, which don't require doing hard courses that need lots of math, shorter working hours, and in return get paid less. Who is to say that is a wrong choice? It is only feminists who assume that women are too dumb to make their own choices and that their choices must be due to 'patriarchy' or discrimination.

IQ is not the only factor in success in life. Other factors such as motivation and other personality traits, mental illness/health, physical health and good looks/height are also important.

The women you are describing are not feminists, they are misandrists. Unfortunately we live in the real world, not in a dictionary. In the real world the distinction between feminist and misandrist is generally nonexistent. If you are pro-equality, tell us about all the things you have done to redress male disadvantage, starting with the death gap - men die 5 years younger. Oh... you have done nothing? So I guess you are a real feminist after all, i.e. someone who doesn't care about equality.

This is called the "no true scotsman" fallacy. If NOW is not feminist what is?

Another feminist - Shulamith Firestone - dies a sad and lonely death. As with many other leading feminists, she was mentally disturbed. She was hospitalized for schizophrenia. Firestone's book "Dialectic of sex" (modeled on Marxism) is notorious because it quotes the case of David Reimer as the only "proof" needed that men and women are the same, part from how they are brought up.

How to have children is a real dilemma for women. There is a stark choice between having a full-on career and having children. Most high level jobs are competitive. If you decide to do the right thing by your children and spend a lot of time with them in the early years (0-3) when it really counts, your career will be seriously damaged.

Patriarchy is the oppression of one sex by the other. Feminism is the opposite. With feminists (and women) you need to clearly distinguish words from actions. The actions of self-proclaimed feminists are eloquent. The baloney about "equality" is just air cover for the real agenda which is female supremacy and the abolition of men. This is what they mean when they say they "want to eradicate gender as a concept altogether". One more red pill swallowed... On the positive side it is good that you d…

This is a strange argument, when you consider that MGM removes more nerves than removal of the clitoral hood. Most of the clitoris is below the surface and it would be extremely difficult to remove it. This information is hidden from prying eyes here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitoris

This. The loss of nerve endings from removing the head of the clitoris - most of the clitoris is inaccessible because it is interior to the body - is about 8,000, whereas the loss from male circumcision is 12,000 to 18,000 nerve endings. I am sick of people assuming that FGM is always worse than MGM without actually looking at the facts. And as many have pointed out, both are wrong.

Something else that is often left out of these calculations is the fact that taller, stronger people get paid more than shorter and weaker people. This is regardless of sex eg taller men earn more than shorter men. Typically an extra inch of height will earn you about another $1,000 per year.

Sure but the key thing for an infantry soldier is ability to carry guns, ammunition, etc, none of which varies with the weight of the soldier. Not to mention, say, carrying a wounded comrade out of harm's way. My point is a test based on body weight will favor women. 10 year old girls can often do 20 chin-ups. Does that make them strong and fit enough to be a soldier?

You are right that the risk of divorce varies by social class and education as well. Divorce rates also go down strongly as the woman gets older and therefore less attractive/marketable.

This is not about the woman being a virgin at marriage. The studies suggested that having sex before marriage with the husband did not increase the risk of divorce. So you and she can have sex (eg once engaged) but you are taking a risk if she has other partners, and the risk grows with more partners. So you still have the opportunity to find out if you are incompatible.

If you are, say, the 10th sexual partner of a woman, then basic statistics says that it is unlikely the last, unless somehow marriage terminates promiscuous tendencies. Also if a woman has never had sex before her husband, she will likely associate the magic of sex not with "guys" but with her husband. I have seen this effect with men too. So it seems plausible such an effect would exist. Wikipedia "This article examines the relationship between premarital sexual activity and the long-term risk …

What this does show is that these ideas are starting to percolate into the mainstream.

Rejection by a male is a common precursor of false sexual assault allegations so be careful. Consider more diplomatic methods of ending things such as "I'm feeling overwhelmed right now and need some time to get my act together" or "It's me not you" or "I'm not in your league I realize that now" or even "I have a child by another women and that sucks up all my spare cash" or "I just lost my job".

Given the gap between men and women in physical capabilities, most of the women who pass a common test will have barely made it, compared to many men who will pass by a large margin. That translates directly into a major loss of military capability. And that is not taking into account the different tests currently in place. Even if and when a "gender-neutral" test is in place, it will still hold women to a lower standard. For example 42 pushups for a man means lifting more weight than for a wome…

I just talk to people. Take opportunities as they arise. These days most men (and women) know a guy who has been taken to the cleaners by the "family" courts and "child support" rackets.

If the liar comes forward and admits that she made a false claim, then this is already a mitigating factor in sentencing.
