Many myths were posted here: http://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/do111/losing_hope_with_the_antifeminist_sentiments_on/ Therefore: Myth #1: Men cause most domestic violence. In polling, women admit to striking first in most domestic violence situations: - "Behind Closed Doors: Violence in the American Family" by Richard J. Gelles Men are simply prosecuted more, which is the real sexist injustice. If a woman attacks a man, & in his weakest defense he stops her attacks, he'll be convicted if he admits using any force. (But usually she won't be.) The studies' author explained these statistics at a "feminist" rally, & they tried to censor him: "When my colleague presented these findings... at a conference on battered women, he was nearly hooted & booed from the stage." - Richard J. Gelles You can read a copy at http://breakingthescience.org/RichardGelles_MissingPersonsOfDV.php Worse, the vast majority of murders of children are by mothers: "Of children who died at the hands of one parent (between 2001 & 2006,) 70.8% were killed by their mothers" --"Child Maltreatment" reports 2001 - 2006. Despite this, women win almost all custody battles: real sexism. (However, violence statistics are a mixed bag.) For example, men commit more murders of someone they're dating. The point is, that crime stats are not a one-sided male-dominated issue. Males are just jailed more for the same crime: real sexism. Myth #2: "Almost all reported rapes are real." The FBI's DNA statistics debunk this:
"in about 25% of the sexual assault cases referred to the FBI, ... the primary suspect has been excluded by forensic DNA testing." - http://ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/dnaevid.txt - Convicted by juries, exonerated by science That means 25% or more rapes are false. Compare this to how newspapers often claim 98% of rapes are real. How did they make-up that number? Because only 2% of rape accusers admit to making up the claim, if interviewed by a female cop. With a male cop, the number is 40%. (However, being cops are often crooks, I believe neither.) Myth #3: "Women get paid less."
At marriage? Or... stripping? fucking? dancing? modeling? or dating? Nope - those wages are rarely counted when people count the "wage gap." Sometimes women do get paid less, but it's rarely been proven. (Like at Wal-mart.) Yet they got paid later, via lawsuit. In contrast, if a women has ANY rare skill, she'll get endless attention. (Despite thousands of men with the same skills.) Lastly, when people quote the jerks of Men's Rights (to slander the whole group,) it's the same thing as seen in most feminist forums. If you post statistics they don't like, they (usually) vote to censor you, then attack you personally. I find over half of the people in Men's Rights are women haters, not wanting equality. Exactly like how most "feminists" don't care for legal equality.

Try being a male in computer science. The women in our industry get every goddamn bursary and grant on earth regardless of talent just because there's none of them. Where are the grants and scholarships to draw men into being educators and care workers where they are a minority? If they exist, they are certainly not as prevalent as they are in the sciences for women.

How? I'm trying to create a single line-break, but getting two. Some say [space] [space], but I see no line break from that. I'm using 4 spaces, then alt 255.

OP here. I need help: Someone posted a dishonest "debunk" to my post, & I responded explaining some of the dishonesty. But the 2XC is burying my comment, here: http://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/do111/losing_hope_with_the_antifeminist_sentiments_on/c11o0mm
