Because the people who are doing this “ovaryacting” have two predominant characteristics 1. Hysterical overreaction to things that are insignificant and 2. Female gender. The problem is that if you only call out the behavior caused by 1, they might think it does not apply to them, precisely because of 1. By saying…

“it’s a deliberate tactic to silence women, assert dominance over them”

His comment didn’t say “I can’t see”, it said “I don’t know why we attach a gender to things like this.” He was calling out the very same divisive attitude that you are currently exhibiting.

Taking something that isn’t a gendered issue and implying that only one gender is responsible is practically the *definition* of sexism. If i were to invent a word called “blackstealing” (where a black person absconds with a thing that doesn’t belong to them), you would rightfully call me out for being racist. If i…

I’m not sure what sort of strange species you are from, but the person you replied to was talking *specifically* about a somewhat intelligent species of primate known as “humans”. I’m not sure if you’ve ever actually met a human, but in general the males and females of the species tend to get along rather well. When…

So it’s okay for a man to put his feet on the furniture but it’s not okay for a woman to do the same? That seems a little bit.... misogynistic.

The man got 115% more time than the woman. It’s almost as if the justice system treats men unfairly compared to women... COUGHCOUGHgynocentrismCOUGH

The whole 1-in-5 statistic is really misleading. It is based on 2 surveys; the first one only surveyed students at 2 universities, while the other more recent one from WaPo surveyed about 1000 students from about 500 schools (read: average 2 students per school). Both surveys used an overly-broad definition of sexual…

I’m willing to bet the reason you haven’t heard anything good about any administration is very likely due to human selection bias (which I personally consider one of the big three human cognitive biases, along with confirmation bias and normalcy bias). Humans have a tendency to focus more on events that are more…

“The fact that the alleged criminal may be totally unaware that they committed a crime (because of sexism, internalized misogyny, mis-education about consent, etc.)“

Its not that people think that they regret having sex, but more that people who are severly intoxicated tend to misremember things the next morning. This is actually a well-documented phenomenon, so its not like a little skepticism here is unwarrented. This video explains it far better than i do:

Well i’m not entirely surprised. Radical feminists have been trying to replace “trust but verify” with “listen and believe” for years now, so it was only a matter of time before some feminist journalists began taking that advice to heart.

To be fair, they already had Duke Lacrosse to point to before this.

I’m not an MRA or anything, but i know some people who are and they really aren’t like that at all (although i hear that extremist MRA douchbags do exist, non of the ones i have met are like that). If anything, this “Chuck Johnson” guy sounds like he is part of the MGTOW movement, as from what i have seen on their…

Well what other standard should they be held to? As someone who seems to have some formal education in law, you should know that they are not a “survivor” or a “victim” in the eyes of the law until their case has been proven, and until that point they are merely the “accuser” or the “plaintiff”. A charge of rape is a…

Yes, that perception among the public is indeed the reason that Eramo is suing RS.

She probably thought that he would run to her side to comfort her (which he did, so her plan /kinda/ worked), but i don’t think she bothered to think any further ahead than the immediate future. There is this movie with Emma Stone called “Easy A” which shows how a lie can get out of hand and take on a life of its…

Her real identity was leaked some time ago. I won’t say it here because i do think she is probably mentally ill and should receive treatment for her illness, not harrassment. That being said, anyone that knows how to use google and wants to find out her last name (her first name is actually Jackie) could probably find…

The problem with this particular story was that it had more holes and inconsistancies than it did parts that actually made even a little bit of sense. Did anybody honestly believe that she would refuse to seek medical attention after being forcibly raped upon a bed of broken glass? So her friends find her walking…

I tried posting this in response to someone else, but for some reason it didn’t get approved. I’m not sure why, because I try to be respectful to people even when I vehemently disagree, and i always word my responses in a way that is as non-inflammitory as possible.
