She-Hulk id's a great counterpoint to Bruce Banners character, but that makes her a supporting cast not main crew. She has never had the grand themes of the iconic Marvel heroes like her uncle's struggle with rage and understanding that Bruce and the Hulk are the same person. Her storylines have all been superpowered soap opera.

Fascism was about third way economics, de facto control of business through rent seeking and expansive regulation and an incredibly strong executive government. Libertarianism is diametrically opposed to strong, unilateral government power that Fascism is predicated on.

The victims of crimes have no say in the prosecution. It is usually difficult to get a conviction without their cooperation, so the DA's office will usually drop the case when the victim doesn't want to. Video evidence is pretty damning. The ball players wouldn't have to do anything to secure a conviction.

Men's dress codes are a men's issue as much as women's dress codes are a women's issue. It's tiny and almost utterly irrelevant, but it is a convenient rebuttal to the "policing women's bodies" rhetoric from the other side.

The theory is that women find sexual assertiveness attractive, so the most sexually assertive men have the most sex, thus the most children. This creates a positive evolutionary pressure for sexually assertive men. Some sexually assertive behavior is (or can be construed as) rape, so women's choices are creating additional rapists in each successive generation.

So I know I'm feeding the troll here, but the fundamental difference is this: a mother accepts all those responsibilities as a result of her decision. The father pays child support as a result of her decision. He has a role in the raising of his child only at her whim. The mother has many decisions that have varying consequences. The father has no decisions, no control, but is responsible for the results of someone else's decision. Taking "I'll keep this baby that he doesn't want and force him t…

State judges have differing processes depending on the state. In about half the statesize theyou use some forms of the Missouri Plan, where vacancies are filled by an appointeden committee and then sitting judges vote on retaining them. The public generally gets very little input by design. Federal judges are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Congress. All are life tenure and the only way to get rid of them is by impeachment. It's rate and difficult.

Not so much false as incomplete and incredibly deceptive. She was comparing her pay as guest performer (who was only allowed on stage as a favor) to the headliner (who was booked in advance.)

I kinda get it, but the draft numbers aren't as high as you think. About 20% of the eligible men in Rosalind Franklin's cohort was drafted, and about 10% of Clinton's Vietnam-era boys were drafted, and not all of them went to southeast Asia.

It's intentionally distorted to demonstrate the principle in question. I make no claim that it reflects anything even remotely approaching reality. Personally, I believe the actual false allegation rate is higher than the 15% figure here, but I don't think that is a necessary conclusion from these numbers. It is absolutely plausible that false allegations have a higher conviction rate than true reports. Recalling Mark Twain's old saw about truth being stranger than fiction: a fabricated story of…

The number of accusations is much higher than the number of convictions, which means the % of wrongful convictions can be higher than the % of false allegations. In a hypothetical situation where there was 1000 accusations, 2% of them being false (20 false allegations) and only 10 convictions, one being wrongful, you've got 2% false allegations with 10% wrongful convictions.

Close, but I think the goal is to make a character who embodies feminist ideals, not a character who is a feminist.

Anecdote: As an accountant, I must wear business professional attire at a minimum. This means: slacks, full dark socks, leather shoes, sleeved shirt and a tie. If I wear a lighter shirt, I've got to wear an undershirt, so no gain in thermal benefit is had on that. I am also the only one in my office that has a professional dress code.

In California, there is an order of precedence in garnishments, and they cannot be more than half of the employee's "disposable income," which there is a formula for. Unless, of course, there is a court order to the contrary. For my employees not bringing home a significant salary, they often negotiate with the collection agency to 10% of gross earnings. I hate to see a couple of my guys working 20-30 hours of overtime a week and pulling home a paycheck under $700, but it happens.

Unable to understand the act's moral character: "I wouldn't have slept with him on the first date if I didn't have a couple drinks first. I'm not a slut!" Unable to understand the act's probable consequences: "I wouldn't have gone down on that cute guy at the bar if I knew my boyfriend would dump me!"

(a) Unlawful sexual intercourse is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the perpetrator, if the person is a minor. For the purposes of this section, a "minor" is a person under the age of 18 years and an "adult" is a person who is at least 18 years of age. California penal code, Section 261.5.

Feel free to correct me, but I understood that the Mosou were not nearly as idyllic as they had been portrayed.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that she doesn't have a right to say "no." That being said, she is saying "no" for stupid and bigoted reasons. Which is entirely her right. We also have the right to point out that she is being given a platform to describe and spread her stupidity and bigotry. Which is the right of HuffPo Canada. Their rights, to be certain. I hope nobody would suggest to take them away. But, it is our right to call them out on it, too.

Because statutory rape has no mens rea component. She was legal, or not, and regardless of whether you could have, should have, or did know, you're on the hook. "Your honor, she was 17 and a half, and even showed me a fake ID." "Doesn't matter, she was underage, 6 years in the ass-rape cage."

The reason women are staying out of the workforce is that we don't have Swedish-style maternity leave? 18 months paid leave, per child, guaranteed. Let's imagine that an average Swedish woman wants to have the same experience as my mother, and her mother, and my father's mother. Two years out of college, she decides to have children. Three kids, roughly 2 years apart. With a year and a half of paid (by the employer) maternity leave per child, that means she's working a total of 9-12 months out o…

Ugly is not the opposite of attractive.

Look at Elevatorgate. Let's rehash: A man of low station asks a woman if she'd like to go back to his place to talk. He's labeled "creepy."

Here is a reference for the boastfulness etymology. The Shakespeare usage was in King John, Act 2, Scene 1. While uneducated former slaves would not likely to knowingly quote Shakespeare, they did still speak English, and would have picked up cracker in the way that they picked up the rest of the language.

Pedantry: The origin of "cracker" is much older than that, and has nothing to do with whips. It comes from "cracking wise" or bragging. It's found in Shakespeare. In the Americas, it referred originally to wealthy New Englanders. It wouldn't be extended to all white people for several centuries, though.

As a tangent to the "Male Power Fantasy" counterargument, why aren't these women described as "Female Desirability Fantasies?" Honestly, how does American Apparel sell clothes to women? By putting them on sexy women and putting those women in sexually suggestive ads. Why does this sell to women? Because women project the sexiness of the ad onto themselves. They want to be desirable like the women in the ads, so they buy the products to buy into that lifestyle. Lara Croft: Men want her, women wan…

I will grant that men are more likely to commit crime, and especially violent crime. I don't think the raw data is entirely clean, though. There are a lot of women who work very hard to have violence done on their behalf. They are also much more likely to report being victimized due to social pressure for men to under-report victimization.

While the more correct numbers of 52.5 for women and 54.2 for men are not as dramatic as the uncorrected numbers, it still points to a growing disparity favoring women. Add to this the number of single parents (disporportionately mothers) who will distort the childcare and home maintenance numbers, and the situation for women in an intact and stable household looks pretty rosy. Feminists still harp on the Second Shift myth. It wasn't true in 1965, it is even less true now. But, and this is Cuneu…

I would pose a counter-suggestion: Menopause is a genetic piggyback on another trait that was very successful. I would think it is consequence of the constant fecundity of human females. Assuming it is a trait unique to H. Sapiens Sapiens (and not our competetors of the day H. Sapiens Neanderthalensus and H. Erectus,) it would have come about with modern humans in the Middle Paleolithic, only a fraction of women who achieved menarch would live long enough to achieve menopause.

The phenomenon of blaming "superior" (that is, more confident and successful with women) men is a function of the worldview: Women are perfect, moral, virtuous creatures. This is true because the "beta" guy loves them and that alone is sufficient to prove that they are worthy of his love. Given that women are morally flawless, it must be that those vile and wicked men must be corrupting and ruining them.

I really appreciated the first three-quarters of the article, where the author detailed how predatory stereotypes harm men, their identities and their role in society. Then she came to the end and reminded us that it was the Good Men Project. Her solution is to further capitulate to feminism and embrace the gender role and stereotypes that got us this far. Isn't there an old proverb about continuing the same course of action and expecting different results?

It's not a legalis,, but a law of social anthropology, proposed by Robert Briffault. For the click-through adverse, in it's totality: "The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place." Speaking as a single father, it is both shit and accurate. The real world sucks in that way.

We agree that the mainstream of feminism (not exclusively, just because this is the topic of discussion) is woefully ignorant of actual numbers and parrots one-in-four. I think they earnestly believe the numbers they've been told to scare them. They can be fairly characterized as misinformed. We agree that the leadership of feminism(that being the large, national organizations) are distorting and echoing one-in-four.

There are actually still people trafficing in the 1-in-4 myth. If you don't see it, you're willfuly ignorant, NAFALTing (no true scotsman falacy) or blinded by confirmation bias.

From a purely fictional standpoint, the patern I see is a little different, but equally dystopian: Women are hypergamous, so they are always going to look up for potential mates and people beneath them are sexually and socially invisible.

There has been a longstanding observation that women are more willing to share a good man than they are to have a substandard man…

Partiarchy. From Pater (latin father) and Archon (latin ruler). Literally means Rule by Fathers. THE PATRIARCHY (ZOMG!) is a definitionally male institution, which feminists have been blaming for all the woes of society for half a century.

The fact that there are alternate explanations for the phenomena ascribed to the Patriarchy hypothesis that fit the data far better is apparently irrelevant to you.

Similarly to say that many of the issues involving gender today don't stem from the Patriarchy we had is wrong to me. THE PATRIARCHY is a bogeyman. There was something that could be reasonably described as a patriarchy in the anglophone west, but it was demonstrably a pretty good deal for the women. Much better than it was for the men. Without going into proofs on that point: the fact that there are alternate and reasonable explanations for what you consider gender issues today troubles you. Som…

While trans-Atlantic American chattel slavery was a particularly dark stain on American history, the word "Slavery" has no unique and direct connection to us honkeys.

What he was saying is that their perception is that they are calmly stating facts. What we see when they are doing that is screeching jargon and pseudoscience.

The German analogy is actually very apt. The German people did not, by and large, support the extermination of the Jews. They did, however, support a cadre of fanatics that do.

Your argument wasn't merely recognizing the effect, but defending and exacerbating something that is generally considered a problem within the MRM. Namely, you are defending the disposability of men and sanctioning social structures predicated on it. In short, equality means men have a right to life and bodily integrity, too. Further, they have just as much right as a woman does.
