I've also been told that the "stats" MRAs reference when talking about custody battles also include situations in which the father voluntarily agrees to give the mother full custody (which obviously makes it look like women are always favored, when, honestly, sometimes the dudes just don't want custody at all)

Um. Sure. Bye!

Did you catch any news coverage of the Mexico fans who shut down entire streets (and part of the 5 freeway) in LA with their celebrating on Monday? It was insane, and that was just one game. I know there have been riots for basketball/hockey around here, too, but usually only if they actually win the championship.

The Gary Oldman defense.

I've often thought about how strange it's going to be for this young generation of kids who have never existed without the internet. If somebody's trendily-named child Kai is applying for a job in 21 years, will potential employers be finding pictures from his 2nd birthday that are still on his mom's Facebook? I mean,…

And fuckwits like George Will will tell them that they're "members of a privileged group." :(

He's probably a white dude trolling

These are such important issues! ESPECIALLY potential abuse and getting honest answers from kids — doctors/hospitals could waste valuable time on a misdiagnosis if a kid is too embarrassed to tell them what's actually going on while helicopter mom is hovering over them

That "I tried being nice and she still didn't want to date me" line of reasoning is SO interesting to me for this reason: when a guy doesn't want to date a woman, she is socialized to look inward. "He prefers blondes," "Maybe I'm not outgoing enough for him—" basic message: he's just not that into me. When a woman…

Do you really think that's true? Sounds like the "majority of men" lead some pretty sad, unfulfilling lives, then.

The margin for error when you're trying to smile juuuuust enough seems pretty thin :(

Aaah yes, the Navajo panties incident. That was gross.

Bless you. Saving that gif for future use

Can we once, JUST ONCE, not immediately make something about men?

Those Guardian stats are VERY MUCH in doubt (notably because they did not differentiate between men who were abused by female intimate partners and men who were abused by male intimate partners in order to inflate their stats for a better story)

Right? It still boggles my mind that so many people immediately blame the women ("Why didn't she leave right away? Fame hungry slut!") rather than asking what an established, powerful photographer is doing shoving his dick in young women's faces. There's such a clear power differential here! Even IF (and that's a big…

Oh I think he definitely understands those concepts (that's why he keeps doing it and getting away with it). This "I've never threatened anyone's career or offered exclusives for sex" bullshit is just stupid.

Excellent mansplaining. Hopefully your next post will tell us how to organize, because, you know, lady brains and naivete and all...

Oh, I don't know, maybe the evidence contained in all recorded history?

So then, what ARE you saying? That we should be coming at this from a kinder, gentler angle so we don't alienate men? If "good men" can't handle being shown what their sex is capable of, they won't be convinced by sweetness.
