I think that makes you one of those cup half empty people :P

Maybe he considers transgender folks to be the gender they identify with and thus didn't feel the need to put them in a separate category apart from men and women?

There are any number of women making strides in getting themselves, and other women, seen and heard. There are also any number of male allies, who don't see women as inferior, who are putting their privilege to good use and presenting them to an audience that might not otherwise see or hear them. Just like white…

If there's a decent man who calls himself an MRA, I haven't met him.

"Beta" and "alpha" are terms used by some people in the dark corners of the internet to distinguish between men who get laid and men who don't, if I understand correctly. It's MRA and PUA terminology, and I think it's based on a pseudo-intellectual version of evolutionary psychology. Every time I see something…

Fuck off, MRA troll. All MRAs are pathetic losers. Fact.

Show me one MRA blog or website that isn't full of psychos. There are tons of feminist websites that are evenhanded and fair, and demand that all people regardless of gender be treated equally.

Is Dartmouth in a Stand Your Ground state?

It is so incredibly frightening just how many men I have come across see nothing wrong with coaxing or persuading an unwilling person into sex. The "Playing Hard to Get" narrarative is thrown upon women to justify why a woman immediately wouldn't spread her legs for the almighty peen.
No appreciation for the concept of…

This asshole sounds like a MRA. Either that or a pick up artist. What other group of men uses the term "beta faggot" and encourages rape?

I think at this stage I think I could put one of those comments together by heart. Let's see:

Male Privilege is this woman saying that someone drove to the founder of this site's house and took pictures of it, and threatened to firebomb her house and rape and/or murder her, and you can ignore it as no big deal while bringing up bullshit like female privilege (which no, it doesn't exist!)

I think you should say whatever you want without feeling shut down. I think you post, people get to respond. My response (even if hard on whatever level) doesn't shut down your answer. Or my response to your answer.

The whole premise of the conversation came from the argument presented that transwomen do not have the privilege of cisgendered males. My response was directed to that aspects of the conversation.

Ya, and I'm going to fully admit that I am really hot right now because of Trayvon, because i am a woman of color, because of my own dykeness and because of being super aware of patriarchy right now. Let me be clear that everything I discuss here is going to be about women and females and men only in so much as we…

Speak to any woman living in a patriarchal society about being "brow-beaten into a role by conservative parents".

Yes, but Kristin had a choice, which cis-women don't.

I can identify with this, and I think it's a very fair point. It can be very strange to consider being born with female anatomy a privilege when it has not been particularly advantageous to a lot of women, both historically and personally. It's ultimately not a contest of who is more privileged and who has it harder…
