What do you think about this Cracked article on women?

Sounds like low tier clickbait - not that Cracked is known for anything else. Clearly they like to ignore that anyone with a half baked knowledge of liberal circles and ideology would be aware of such things.

Nothing surprising here.

ClarityofDisaster · 2017-05-14T11:23:14+00:00

Nothing new here, I thought all of this was already well known.

Nothing in the article surprised me. In fact it's mostly the most obvious things. The answer to the porn one, though is not a decent answer, although a decent answer exists, and the math one seems like it goes on when the answer is one sentence long.

I am fairly certain that cracked.com is the online relative of the mad magazine knockoff from my childhood. Similar to quoting a Bazooka joe comic strip.

It's complete and utter horseshit. It's just part of this overall trend of pretending that men and women are the same and completely equal. They're not. They should generally be treated equally and have equal rights, but that doesn't mean that that they're the same.

Most Victims of Domestic Violence Are Women...I've already disproved this. The arguments put forward in favour of this are complete sophistry.
Women Aren't as Good at Math...does anyone believe this anyway? Women are generally less interested in mathematics, just like they're generally less interested in computer programming and trainspotting, but they could do those thing if they wanted to, and there are plenty of women that do.
Only Women Suffer from Media-Perpetuated Body Issues...again no-one believes this, but clearly there is far more social pressure on women to conform to a certain body image than men. You would have to be utterly credulous to believe otherwise.
Only Men Like Porn...no-one thinks that only men like porn, what we know to be the case is that men are far more interested in erotica than women on average. This is irrefutable as the entire sex industry is aimed at men.
Women Aren't as Horny as Men...it's not even worth reading this as clearly men want sex more than women, hence almost all hookers are women or gay men, as mentioned previously the entire sex industry is aimed at men, this has been the case throughout all human history, etc.
Women Aren't As Aggressive...anyone who has gone through life with one working eye will have noticed that men are far more aggressive than women. There is a morass of statistical evidence to support this, but it is just mind-numbingly obvious anyway.

So, overall, complete crap.

I think "What the fuck, why is someone posting a Cracked article?"

Except I don't actually think in English.

the first point seems to contradict the feminist dogma that regards DV as a gender issue or a code word for violence against women.

HugMuffin · 2017-05-14T06:11:33+00:00

No offense, but a cracked article is such an unreliable source that I can't be bothered to look at it.

PurpleBanner · 2017-05-14T06:51:30+00:00

Its stupid and lame.

Low grade clickbait with shitty and more importantly faulty conclusions. For example: "women have as much or more sex partners than men" -> "women are hornier than men" ... WTF? All this means is that women have an easier time getting sex, that's all. If men could have as many sex partners as they wanted, the image would look drastically different.

Well, item#1 is actually correct.

6 Women aren't as aggressive

Well this is actually true if they are comparing women to men. Women aren't as aggressive as men, most non autistic people know this. Women can be aggressive yes, but on average not as aggressive as men (men ask for raises more, men initiate relationships with women etc.). Now if they are making the point that women can be more aggressive than most people realize, I would agree with that.

When we grow up, women are more likely to be penalized for displaying too much aggression, while men are rewarded for the exact same behavior.

This disproves their own point really. If you're penalized more for doing something, most people are going to stop doing it or do it less. I think something that does contribute to women being aggressive is the criminal justice system being more lenient towards women. If you know there won't be consequences or you just get a slap on the wrist, you're more likely to do something violent or aggressive.

5 Women aren't as horny as men

This is true, the article claiming that this is false is incorrect. I guess they don't know what testosterone does, its called science. Sure, women get horny and they get what I like to call "baby fever". But on average and due to testosterone, men have a higher sex drive.

Women are probably just as horny as men--they just don't want you to know it...It turns out that when women were faced with the chance of someone seeing their answers (the group with the researcher in the room) they all suddenly became contestants in a Miss Chastity pageant,

TRP truth, actions speak louder than words. A woman's reputation is important to her, she wants to be seen as this innocent virgin girl even though she fucked half the football team. I've been saying this for a long time now, you can't believe what a woman says most of the time if it is a subject that involves people judging her. She will lie in order to be judged positively or what is "right" by social standards. This is why when a woman says something you have to take it with a grain of salt.

But the women connected to the polygraph actually reported more sexual partners than the men in the same control group.

This doesn't necessarily mean women are more horny. This could simply show that women have more options than the men surveyed in the study. Most of us know that women have it easier in the casual sex market (unless your a top 10% male).

4 Only men like Porn

Duh, women like porn to. Its just porn is more marketed towards men. Women's most viewed porn is actually lesbian porn due to how straight porn is marketed. I've read women enjoy lesbian porn because it focuses on female pleasure. Women love their erotica as well, there isn't as much taboo associated with it. I consider it a type of porn, so remember guys if your SO says you can't watch porn you tell her she can neither watch porn nor read erotica.

3 Only women suffer from media-perpetuated body issues

True, the saying is that "sex sells", this is true regardless of your gender. Whether its women in bikini's with small waistlines and curves in all the right places or tall muscular dudes with 6 pack abs. Its why lifting weights is vital to TRP self improvement.

2 Women aren't as good at math

Janet Hyde from the University of Wisconsin-Madison compiled math test scores and SAT results from more than seven million students, and found absolutely no difference in scores between males and females.

She is taking the average. Men are the outliers (at the top and bottom), women are the mean. Technically speaking the claim that men are better at math on average is false. In higher range IQ's men tend to be better though. But we all know that Asians are good at math, but bad at driving AmIright?

1 Most victims of domestic violence are women

This is a difficult one. The study's I've seen its around 60/40 (women men). However, domestic violence against men is under reported due to social issues. The police are going to make fun of you if your wife beats you up, or they are going to assume you did something to antagonize her, or they will just arrest you anyway even if you called the cops and have noticeable injuries.

If you're wondering why you've never heard these stats before, there's the obvious fact that men are bigger and therefore more likely to hurt women, and deserve to get raped in prison.

Not sure if this is a joke, but this is exactly what I say is rape culture. Its just a cool joke that men get raped in prison isn't it? By that line of reasoning, it must be cool that girls get raped on college campuses because she was wearing a skirt that was a little too short.

Typical cracked article. But no, it doesn't surprise me.

Gendered norms are fake.

soccerstar77 · 2017-05-15T05:48:05+00:00

Well, they tested this in the lab by having men and women play an interactive video game that required killing other players by dropping bombs on them.

The article takes absolute statements and debunks them by providing some evidence to the contrary.

chickenw-broccoli · 2017-05-14T14:23:10+00:00

It's a bunch of liberal BS. Excuses and more excuses for natural differences.
