In the article “Wahhhhhh stop silencing the menz with all your talk of privilege.” if she wanted an example, all she had to do was look at what happened at Simon Fraser University. Unless she talking about only silencing feminist men, we had a situation where a group of students wanted to establish a men’s [...]

I was hoping to get some thoughts on a subject I’ve been haphazardly discussing for a while, which is perfectly illustrated by this quote. “He’s talking to the man sitting on his left in spite of the fact that I am sitting two feet to his right and at the same table.” in the It [...]

She also alerted police to the presence of the others so that they could be freed as well.

Yes, you did discuss it, but you miss the subtle nuances in the way it is talked about. When people in the MRM talk about infant male circumcision, many feminists (I’m trying not to generalize and I’m not asserting that anyone particular person here holds these views) will take the position that it’s bad (or [...]

“Because he didn’t make a public statement or press charges?” I think one point that everyone seems to miss is what he hasn’t said. He hasn’t said it was OK or I’m the man or I wanted it. You would think that based on his professional persona that if it was not unwanted he would [...]

“”Are Danny Brown’s misogynistic lyrics relevant to the analysis of his alleged (by someone else) assault?” Although that’s better that feministing has categorized it as an assault, I still question why sexual was not included. Even if rape is a sacred word in feminism only reserved to describe the oppression of women, why is there [...]

I wish you had used the term rape or at least sexually assaulted in the headline instead of blow job. @ Lisa Rupert I started to read it, but it had so much rape apology that I stopped. It’s not rape unless Danny Brown calls it rape. 54% of rapes go unreported. Are they not [...]

One question that may have impacted the decision is what did she think was going to happen. Was she told that if you mix chemical X with chemical Y then it will explode and was curious to see if it was true or was this just a random experiment. I think I’ll mix X and [...]

What sometimes gets lost in the discussion about slut shaming is the other side of the coin, virgin shaming of boys. Many of these girls, Audrie Pott, the Steubenville victim, and Rehtaeh Parsons come to mind, were slut shamed because the boys were bragging about their sexual prowess. The virgin shaming of boys is so [...]

” but then again i guess i shouldnt expect so much for someone who uses the term “male breasts” lol.” Isn’t that what they are? You might be surprised, but men can get breast cancer too. Men and women should be treated the same. Society should see them as equals unless of course women find [...]

One of the things I’ve been reading about and discussing is the battle to establish men’s spaces in Canadian colleges. It’s odd to me that feminists, who insist that we should trust women on abortion because women are intrinsically good, insist that men are naturally inclined to subjugate women. One comforting fact is that the [...]

What’s the problem with showing female breasts? Male breasts are exposed on broadcast TV all the time and print ads in “mainstream” publications. Male genitals are shown on Game of Thrones, Spartacus, Misfits, etc. I’ve yet to see labia exposed in any film save porn. I question whether it’s better to continue to commodify the [...]

It’s great that women are talking to men about street harassment. We really need to hear your stories. I know I’ve learned a lot. For a long time I didn’t see street harassment as a big deal either. I was street harassed when I was younger and in shape. I just assumed that it was [...]

If Brittney Griner is allowed to play in the NBA, would we expect men then be allowed to play in the WNBA? If they’re allowed to play in the WNBA, could they demand to play in the WNBA? Would denying them that opportunity open the door for companies to create divisions or subsidiaries that they [...]

The first time I dealt with violence against women was when my mom told me that a cousin’s boyfriend had beaten her. My brother and I found out where he hung out, found him with a group of friends, and laid them out. It had the effect I thought it would. Her friends were saying [...]

People may not realize this, but it has been my unscientific observation that most MRAs and anti-feminists were either former or almost feminists. My personal experience was as an almost feminist. I looked at feminism first, but didn’t find a place for me. Does that mean I don’t care about women’s issues? I do, but [...]

It’s statements like “Men need to be allies against sexual violence.”, which sometimes deflates ones indignation with other articles like “Feminists don’t hate men–they just hate you, MRA dude.” Men should stand up against sexual and other violence against women. Not because women will or have done things for men, but because it’s the right [...]

Sorry looking at the wrong fraction. According to lifetime numbers it would be 1.4 (rapes) + 4.8 (forced to penetrate ) = 6.2 (total percentage of men raped) 6.2 (men) + 18.3 )women) = 24.5 (percentage of rape victims total population) about 1.4 x .05 = .07 (female perpetrated rapes of men) about 4.8 x [...]

Lamech, I guess I understand you’re position, but then to be fair we can’t assume that in 2010 it was less than 80%. That year could have had a higher percentage of female rapists of male victims so could have exceeded 40%. Although if you look at the PREA numbers, the BJS has almost the [...]

“We’d taken out a $5,000 loan to build our first iPhone app because we were so convinced that foundations would jump at the opportunity. ” Just a suggestion. Why wouldn’t you look at an intern? If I was a programming major, I would have done it for the reference and a credit on the splash [...]
