I think the man-blaming in this article probably has to do with the privilege aspect. The men in the study are upset that they aren't in a higher position than their partner. Slut-shaming and body issues are different subjects.

I disagree. I am talking about a mindset of an individual, not deconstructing social narratives.

Oh yeah. Totally. None. /sarcasm

"I can't wait to take you on a tour of Europe on our honeymoon, cherished possession! We'll stay at the family castle. Our family's name is Bluebeard."

Grow up.

It is not pathetic to expect professionals in a professional setting to act professionally.

Wait, the patriarchy changed the K-through-college educational system to systematically favor feminine learning styles? Did I miss that memo?

Wait, why not? It would fit right in with his well known policy of "only attending events at which nobody is sporting a Swastika" and "only attending events where babies are not being eaten" and other "only attending events that pass a threshold condition of everyday decency". Shouldn't at least a token presence from…

Well, I've heard of her which is more than I can say of the other four people scheduled to speak, so by your standard of "has done something of which I would have heard" I guess that makes her the second-most-qualified.

I don't want to yell, but seriously:

If they really wanted to deflect criticism, they shouldn't have been dismissive, sarcastic arseholes in the FAQ. A simple "We're aware there are no women speakers; we asked some but they declined" would have sufficed. The way they phrased their original comments implies they think concerns about female participation…

Excerpt from invitations sent to potential female speakers:

Dude, you know Bill Bailey is a comedian, right?

Oh god, I'll feed the troll. But I will regret it.

They literally had binders full of women that they asked to speak.

I read that post! I'm so glad the garments were sold indoors, away from male eyes - if it had been a stoop sale, you all would have been personally responsible for all of the inevitable traffic accidents it would have caused. Never forget - men are fallible and easily tempted, which is why they're also supposed to…

Yes. And despite the talk of "irrefutable data" above showing that boys are left behind*, men still outearn women no matter what level of education you're dealing with.
