Yes, I believe it was the CDC study that discovered about equal rates of sexual assault among men and women, with the vast majority of men reporting assault by a woman.

If this is so effective, why couldn't they have tossed in 1 or 2 telling women not to mess with drunk dudes, or respect it when he's not in the mood? It seemed like it would have been so simple, yet again we are framing this a a woman's problem, and one caused by men at that.

60% of rapists being male does technically make them the majority, but not by so much that your snark is warranted. I agree that we should focus more on the rapists, but we also need to focus on women who prey on men because it is way more common than people think. Some messages centered around drugs and drinking…

Uh, feminism as a set of ideals and values is not oppressive, but feminism as a real life political institution certainly is. It controls the entire discourse relating the gender issues these days, and has used that position of power to erase male victims of pretty much everything, in order to make women look like the…

Once again, you didn't really address any of my points. You just kinda dodged them with some ad hominem sprinkled about, which is a little frustrating because I think our earlier interactions were going alright.

I wasn't trying to explain feminism in any way. Maybe your poor little lady brains would be better suited to cooking than critical thinking.

That's highly ironic, considering you are on yet another article where Lindy West complains about shit. In this case... people that don't like girls with short hair. Oh the horror! Articles like this and people like you are why feminism is having such a problem right now.

I don't know why no one has brought up the hardware yet. Its not just the screen taking up all that space, but the guts, battery and wireless radio all have to go somewhere. You can't expect to have all the cutting edge stuff in a modern smartphone and always get it in an iphone size. Not without paying iphone prices…

It would be one thing to grant funding simply to women's shelters, but saying that any shelter that accepts men won't be funded is just a shitty thing to do. Funding is already short, so what center will accept men knowing that it will cost them funding? They are using their money to leverage an agenda, its fucked up.

The CDC does not count it as rape when a woman forces a man to have sex with her, making their numbers for rape unreliable. Hence, why I went with sexual assault.

BTW, I know I'm coming on really aggressive, but I'm not trying to attack you or anything. Lets just say this is a conversation I'm used to having, and most people aren't as reasonable as you are.

To be protected. Society has always protected women over men. "Women and children first" ring any bells?

The only reason men are in positions of power is because men are traditionally the only ones who went after it. Women control a greater portion of the American voting block, and it has been shown that women politicians are every bit as likely to be elected as men, if not more so. I think everyone here knows that if…

Yes. Surely it is the fault of MRA's that patriarchy theory turns people off of feminism. eyeroll

Are you reading the things that you say? Are you drunk?

Oh lord, the only reason I bring my personal life up is because I serve as one example among many that shows just how flawed Lindy's views are. Here is a seemingly well off white woman speaking from a position of privilege about gender issues that she doesn't fully understand, and she does this often.

This is the same shit that Lindy pulls. That bigotry against men isn't real because patriarchy/systemic oppression/rape culture/whatever. As if it should even matter. Coming from a certain background does not give you license to put others down, take it from someone who has quite assuredly had a rougher life than you.

The woman that openly states that misandry is ok, isn't bigoted? Ok...

No Joke.
