No. Because this is not an argument that is being made in good faith for two sides to disagree on, it's being made for one side to keep moving the goalposts.

Plus any man who would allow a woman to abuse him and their kids IS worthless in my opinion.

Coincidentally, Echidne has a post up on what someone called "subtractive masculinity" that neatly explains where I think your argument went wrong. [echidneofthesnakes.blogspot.com]

The attitude of the guy's friend sounds uncomfortably patriarchal, with his 'emasculating' and 'usurping his authority'. But that's the friend's description. Who knows what the guy himself said.

I had the same reaction.

It's very, very common in abusive relationships for the abuse to escalate when victim is trying to leave. It's the point where many do have to fear for their life.

I think that in the US and abroad, the male identity has not come to grips with true gender equality. This is particularly true amongst many religious sects that have had men insert patently sexist dogma into an otherwise egalitarian system (let alone the systems with explicit sexism).

And because there are no guiding principles/examples useful for how men will need to redefine and become sensitized to their new societal identities, a field dedicated to men's rights and male identity is called for.

Considering proof of correlation between higher hormone levels and chances of breast cancer, I guessed it might be, considering the fact that the amount of hormones administered during IVF treatment is nothing to sneeze at.

It's not legal in France though, and pimping is illegal. I don't know where asking someone to pimp for you falls on the legal spectrum, but I'm guessing it's a not quite white area.

Good. I don't care how secondary his involvement is or if he is prosecuted. All that anybody will remember for now is 'prostitution ring' and 'involved' and 'orgies', making his reputation even more shady and even further shredding his career. I'm not bothered in the slightest.

True that.

Oooh. Google might forget it in a few years or so, so any kid of yours probably wouldn't be affected, but there was an infamous con artist in a few media fandoms going by the name "Victoria Bitter". Still shows up in the very first search results.

From the spelling I would guess it's German, from Stössel or Stößel.

My sister named her daughter Sophie. By the time she was born, her prenatal yoga class had already produced a Sophie, and after 'their' Sophie there was another one. On a class of nine.

To illustrate the difference between not wearing a necktie and having a bit of cleavage, here's to the late great Prince Claus, who denounced the thing to roaring applause.

Haha yes.

That's just not true. From the actual leading study:
