P.Z. Myers thinks MRAs are rape advocates.

Wasn't this just something that P.Z. Myers grossly took out of context? I didn't see the original post in question but it sounds like he is using this "rape is equality" as a way to make his point about how the financial or social "rape" of men is considered equality in mainstream/feminist society and not actually as a way to condone/justify rape.

also... how is this:

I'm also wondering now if the fact that we've got our oh-so-sensitive testicles dangling gently in a place just ripe for a savage kick isn't an example of cosmic justice, after all.

any better, if not actually worse, than what he is accusing this guy of doing?

My reply to PZ:

PZ: What do women have that men don't? Vaginas.

Sorry PZ, but you've shown your ignorance on this one. Whilst you're completely correct in outing this individual as a sexist douche-bag; you're incorrect in implying that women, at least in western society, are the only ones who are oppressed.

On the matter of the "pay-gap", Warren Farrell is the man you want to be reading. I'm sorry to break the news to the emotionally invested feminists out there; but white-male privileged has little to do with it. It's mostly about life decisions that men make that women don't. In other words, it's best explained by the lifestyle women choose to live, involving families, that men don't choose - on average. So here is an example where the kook is correct. Feminists look only at the end result and try to "take" what they mistakenly perceive as equal pay. They want to run three-quarters of the same race, but receive recognition (or in this case pay) as if they ran they whole thing.

Secondly, how about the suspicion male teachers receive? How about the assumption that the children belong with the mother in divorce cases when it has been demonstrated that more often children do better; emotionally, academically and socially when the father wins custody?

If you want to talk about shaming a gender PZ, lets look at women. In divorce cases, men make much more of an effort to involve the mother than women do to involve the father. So you talk about men shaming the 'gender', how about women who shame their gender by using their children as weapons against their fathers?

So your implications PZ that men have all the privileged in the world is BS. It's a tired old dogmatic line that gets drummed out in 'women's studies' classes by academically inclined hive-minded circle-jerkers that haven't set foot in the real world. It has no basis in reality any more.

What do women have that men don't? Vaginas.

Free money from the government for having a vagina for starters. Government mandated priority.

It seems P.Z. Myers thinks all males are rapists and rape advocates. Not an uncommon viewset nowadays from people like Myers and their peers.

tomek77 · 2010-05-25T18:08:37+00:00

No he doesn't.

a) He said some men are jerks. b) He quoted a particular man. c) This particular man is labelled by the author as "anti-feminist", not pro-men's rights.

This guy is so far left that he makes Obama look like a right winger. Its amazing how someone can be so rational about science but so irrational about politics. Theres people on the right like this too. William Buckley was clearly a very intelligent man, but a fundamentalist Christian at the same time. I could never understand that.

Wow. This guy is almost as big a man-hating mangina as Hugu Schwyzer... and that's saying a lot.
