Unsurprisingly, it's usually scientists who self-perpetuate this myth of science as infallible. After all, it helps justify their untouchable status in society, a status as exalted as the one that Bill Cosby enjoyed until relatively recently. What the fuck does Bill Cosby have to do with anything?

Reality, in other words, can always affirm the narrative you built in your head. You just need to know where to look and how to cherry pick. Telling the truth is something entirely different. Interesting lack of self awareness there.

It was mentioned in a recent Honey Badgers video as an example of the kind of shit that feminism does. Men used to have complete control of their wifes finances, so it made sense to send them to debtors prison for their wifes actions (at least as far as it made sense to send anyone to debtors prison). Feminism came along and gave women control over their own finances, but left the responsibility with the men. Women were able to overspend, or worse not pay their taxes, and the consequence was to …

I mean the title says that it's feminist logic, and it's posted to r/mensrights. It should be pretty obvious OP doesn't agree with this logic.

IME, counselling can give you good perspective on your problems, but it's really just the first step on the road to recovery. And that's if you manage to get a good Therapist. My last one told me I needed to start taking magnesium supplements to cure my depression. Having a science background, I immediately asked her if she had any evidence that magnesium had any effect at all. I figured that, if there was evidence, she wouldn't be the one telling me: my doctor would already have me on them. She…

You forget that femininsts are goodTM people who would never pay women less than a man. So to take advantage of this you would have not hate women, but not advocate in their favor either. Feminists also claim that anyone who isn't a feminist hate's women, which this appears to confirm. Of course the whole thing fails when you point out an MRA who doesn't hate women, but we don't exist.

Nah, they say that's even more evidence of patriarchy: Companies would rather pay more to hire a man than save money hiring an equally effective woman. Of course if that were true it would mean that one CEO who merely doesn't hate women could gain massive profits by hiring only women. The fact that LITERALLY NO ONE has taken advantage of this is even further evidence of patriarchy in the eyes of feminists.

The only way to escape an echo chamber is to occasionally see what the other side has to say. I mean, that's how I became an MRA in the first place. I thought you guys were all women hating assholes, but I came to see what you had to say anyway.

I mean, in the context that they're both extremeist groups, sure. I've recently (for the last couple of years) been trying to become more rational in my own thoughts by studying things like logic and how to make convincing arguments. I've discovered certain kinds of arguments that seem really convincing, but utterly fail. They only seem convincing if you already agree with them. This isn't exactly a problem that only feminists and anti-vaxers suffer from. An easy mental trick is to replace the t…

OK, you seem to be having trouble, so I'll reframe the argument in terms of something you don't already agree with so that you see what it looks like to an MRA. At this point I'm assuming you don't agree with the anti-vaxer movement, but if you do the following wont help either and I'll have to try again. First off, your premise is wrong. Vaccines really do cause autism. So the reason why you are having this problem is because you will not find any sources stating this. The way that this works t…

... what arguments? The professor cites her conspiracy theory to claim that the wage gap is real, and that any business sources that say otherwise are compromised. That doesn't need to be debunked on a mens rights subreddit. That's preaching to the choir.

Why is it that a group of people who think that words like chairman and fireman are sexist think that the word for equality between genders is feminism?

As a non-American, I'm confused. Why is it the schools responsibility to deal with rape charges? Surely that's a criminal issue requiring an actual court of law.

I don't disagree, I was just saying that claiming this program wasn't at all about smashing gender stereotypes was a little unfair. Like finding a kernel of corn in a pile of shit you're forced to eat. I'd rather not have any of it, but it is there.

Would it? Women are underrepresented by government right now. Are you saying that they aren't more or less equal?
/r/MensRights16/10/16 07:41 AM

You seem to be looking at it backwards. When only men were politicians, women suffered. When only white people were politicians, people of color suffered. Women were thought of as having no value, so they could never possibly become politicians. Same for people of colour. Those people didn't suffer because they weren't politicians; They weren't politicians because they were suffering.

To be fair: The material includes statements including ... "boys can cry when they are hurt, can be gentle, can be nurses and can mind babies". I strongly suspect that this will be presented in the feminist psychology style that treats men as defective women, but there is at least a token effort there.
/r/MensRights16/10/16 05:32 AM

huh, TIL. BTW, I was thinking of "Causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent". Incidentally, that doesn't require penetration, but has more severe penalties for penetration. So I was still wrong.

So if a woman gets aroused during rape, it's not rape?
/r/MensRights29/09/16 12:37 AM

Strictly speaking, a penis isn't required, but penetration is. So in the UK, a woman can rape a man with a dildo, but not with a vagina. Edit: Turns out I'm wrong, Nevermind.

This makes me think of a quote by Eliezer Yudkowsky: You know, given human nature, if people got hit on the head by a baseball bat every week, pretty soon they would invent reasons why getting hit on the head with a baseball bat was a good thing. But if you took someone who wasn't being hit on the head with a baseball bat, and you asked them if they wanted it, they would say no. He was explaining why death is a bad thing, but the same logic applies here. I'm circumcised, and I have no problem wi…

"I'll explain it simply..." "We are women after all!" The number of times I get this flippant comment from feminists. I'm not dumbing down because you're a woman, I'm dumbing it down because you've failed to grasp a core concept.

I know that this isn't the main point of posting it here, but the poll on the side of the website pisses me off. Why ask for feedback on the layout if the worst answer you'll accept is: "...meh". I mean, the layout is actually terrible.

That was when you were the one using the word. We were arguing about OP's use of the word. In this context, I only care about OP's use of the word, and don't care about your's.

Sure, but in the context of OP's argument, it also refers to any other belief that Feminists have. We're going in circles now.

Except I didn't look it up did I? You told me what you meant by it, and then I understood you. As you are the one talking to me, I don't care what anyone else means by the word, I only care what you mean by the word. Once I know that, that's the end of the process: the word has fulfilled it's function.

I still don't understand how that is superior to simply pointing at the thing and saying "you see that thing? that's the thing I'm talking about."
/r/MensRights03/08/16 04:56 AM
1

How so? My understanding is that etymology refers to the history of where the word came from, and does not necessarily account for how words change in meaning over time. This is one of the few times that "It's $CurrentYear" is a valid argument. I only care about how the word is used today, not the history of the word.

The thing that makes key hours important is the fact that they cannot be moved. This is when the work HAS to be done, and it cannot be done at any other time. If they could be moved arbitrarily, then they wouldn't be key working hours.

My logic allows for reality, which is messy and complex. I don't think you understood the parable of the dagger. tl;dr, saying something is true doesn't make it true.

I didn't say I don't understand how similarity clusters work. I said you don't. There is no reason two contradictory beliefs can't exist in the same similarity cluster.

Commonality with each other is irrelevant. Are they common within the ideology of feminism?

again, I'm not trying to nail down an exact simple definition, because I don't think an exact simple definition exists. Neither do I think it would be helpful in this case. I'm going for something more along the lines of a similarity cluster

and you have now stumbled across the reason that ideologies resist simple definitions.
/r/MensRights01/08/16 03:40 PM

Are you looking for a simple definition from me, right after I said there wasn't one? The best I'll do is say that it is the entirety of everything that feminists believe to be true. Which is a difficult thing to pin down exactly.
/r/MensRights01/08/16 03:23 PM
2

context? In the context of OP's arguments, Feminism refers to the ideology of Feminism, as Nazism refers to the ideology of Nazism. Ideologies resist simple definitions. Claiming that you must use the simple dictionary definition of feminism, ignoring the rest of the ideology is somewhat disingenuous, in the context of this argument.

I don't know about this. I'm worried that having One Nation on our side will make people take this issue less seriously, rather than more seriously.

I think of it like this: If you leave you car in the street unlocked with the keys in the ignition, is it your fault if it gets stolen? Technically it's the fault of whoever stole it, but there are some reasonable things that you could have done to protect yourself, and you failed to do them. Perhaps we should instead just be educating people on how stealing cars is bad.

She offered to split the bill. You're left with two options: 1) Take her up on her offer: You come across as a cheap deadbeat who can't pay their own way. 2) Refuse her offer: You come across as someone that thinks that women can't pay their own way, aka a misogynist asshole. Option 1 saves $10. I'd go with option 1.
