There are some legitimate issues facing men (e.g. ignoring/shaming male rape victims, acting like women are not capable of sexual assault or domestic violence, women being seen as better caregivers for children). These are important and should be discussed respectfully. However, when MRAs bring up these issues they…

Can we please shake this idea that's suddenly floating around that mental illness automatically means you're not responsible for your actions? There's a very small set of non-lucid mentally ill people who are truly not responsible for making the choice of whether or not to be violent. If you're capable of making the…

Jezebel Memes: Angry woman finding sexism in every aspect of every day life; perfectly acceptable.

Idiots like you are why so few civilized conversations about gender equality happen outside of bubbles where everyone already agrees with everything being said. I have been working both professionally and a volunteer on helping young men, many of whom are poor and abused by the adult male figures in their lives, on…

Thank you for saying the exact thing I was thinking. Shit, this site is ridiculous. You can't be attractive or in-shape without apologizing for it and then you have the $10K Lena Dunham thing…because of course if you're "average" and trying to look your best for a NATIONALLY CIRCULATED MAGAZINE…you should be ashamed.…

I have some—unfortunately snide—theories on how stories are formulated around here. I will keep them to myself, but as a lurker for years, and an active commenter for almost three, I'm seeing a pattern here.

Just going to echo a few of the comments here:

The funny thing, too, is that I'm not "against" it simply because I'm skeptical of it. I'm skeptical of democracy too, and I'm not about to start preaching that we convert our government to fascism. I'm skeptical of all ideology, because I should be. Hell, I'm skeptical of my own work, which is why I regularly try to…

You'd think that'd be really obvious, but people treat the NVAWS like God handed them down from a mountain top. For all the effort to get people to realize that their ideas don't exist in a vacuum, it's shockingly hard to get people on here to understand feminist numbers as not existing in a vacuum, either.

No, women definitely commit as many acts of violence as men, this we know for sure, even from other studies that only study heterosexual relationships. There's actually TONS of evidence suggesting that men and women commit the same amount of violence, it's just that feminists hate the metrics that turn up those…

There are issues around reporting women inflicting the violence - 38% of victims of sexual violence (rape, not just verbal harassment) were men - and 46% of those victims had women as the assailant. The idea that only men rape, and only rape women is harmful to getting the violence addressed.

Unfortunately the reason for that is because of all the sexist arrogant and rude females who maintain double standards who call themselves feminists, plus the fact that feminists who do respect men don't speak out against the male bashers enough, nor do they address problems that affect men. And then when we see…

Holy fuck. THIS IS THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

You sound like a generalizing cunt.

If your marriage ends because of Elliot Rodger, it simply fulfils his wishes to destroy relationships and the love lives of people who got more sex than he did.

Oh that's cute. Except that it's sort of funny, and sort of not because you surely see the words, but don't get them yet.

Right. Just like rape of men was not even 'a thing' according to the FBI until a couple of years ago. The fact that it comes up underlined just emphasizes how much we dismiss male issues in our society. It literally proves the point.

The police that got called out only had 15-30 minutes and whatever information was passed on to them by either the parents or the various case workers involved. That doesn't give them much to go on, and what I've read suggests they had almost none of the information they needed to make a more serious call.

No, I didn't say that— you're putting words in my mouth. Also, it's not like "I jumped down here" at all— I'm pretty much a regular commenter as you may have noticed. I'm also pretty much in-step with 90% of the theory on the site, so it's not like I'm some dumbass troll.

Because there is no medium between the two extremes! The only two possibilities are a billionaire plutocracy or annexation by Russia!

Seriously, how much is the FSB paying you to troll comments sections?
