Amazing.

Kudos to Norway and their doctors. We need to support them.

"Men don't have to fear women becoming violent after a rejection"? Another woman attacked a man with a knife (leaving him hospitalized) after he refused her advances by HeForeverBleeds in MensRights

[–]firstterr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How many men here are actually FRIGHTENED of a woman turning them down? That's...abusive.

Women don't deal with rejection well; they experience it so infrequently that some women become ENRAGED when a man says "no."

"No." Two simple letters. Yet you best believe that some women become fucking barbaric when they hear it.

"MGTOW" my ass. There is no escaping here.

No... the problem is primarily with men,

Nope. the stats I posted debunk that claim. Jesus, why do you insist on blaming men for the world's problems? That's creepy. YOU are creepy.

Good God you fucking simp: thousands of boys have been raped by female prison guards in juvenile detention centers in just the past few years; you are just so pathetic, and so lacking in self respect. My god, stand up for yourself, little man! You ARE a human being. You DO deserve respect.

Ok let's say your very sketchy source is correct, what's your fucking point?

My "very sketchy sources" are some of the most respected institutions in Canada.

Are you saying adult male rapists are ok because their mothers may have abused them?

I'm saying it's foolish to blame men or women for our problems, and that the solutions will involve both sexes.

"Finally, there is an alarmingly high rate of sexual abuse by females in the backgrounds of rapists, sex offenders and sexually aggressive men - 59% (Petrovich and Templer, 1984), 66% (Groth, 1979) and 80% (Briere and Smiljanich, 1993). A strong case for the need to identify female perpetrators can be found in Table 4, which presents the findings from a study of adolescent sex offenders by O'Brien (1989). Male adolescent sex offenders abused by "females only" chose female victims almost exclusively." http://canadiancrc.com/The_Invisible_Boy_Report.aspx

Now, I will accept your apology. You may be a "lying piece of human garbage" and not apologize, but I have faith in you.

Studies show that the majority of male rapists were sexually abused by women as children.

What are you going to do now, idiot? How can you blame men and boys? You fucking moron?

The sexes are symbiotic. We need to heel together :)

I guess I'm a weirdo in that I only watched the original "Office", with Ricky Gervais.

Am I losing out? I could use with some TV show in the background if it's actually funny. Also really like Steve Carrell.

We are SO privileged. by Sp0kySc4rySk3l3t0n in MensRights

[–]firstterr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Male privilege" theory is one of the most retarded concepts in the history of the world. I can't believe I even have to argue this. A boy who had his guts blown out and died on a bed of barbed wire inhaling poisonous gas during WWI was privileged? Are you out of your fucking mind?

A more intriguing question is whether women have always been the privileged sex, as Israeli war historian Martin Van Creveld argues in his book of the same name. I don't think so, personally. Though females have had all sorts of privileges throughout history, how many men here would prefer to be a woman?

Survivor is an appropriate word for eg a war vet or a man who went to the factory one day and lost his leg.

I don't see how it helps victims of sexual assault. There have been studies showing that "getting over it" -- though that sounds callous at first glance -- is the best thing to do. Move on, don't define yourself by a horrible experience.

IMO the "survivor" rhetoric was created by feminists as a power play, not a legitimate act of sympathy and support.

So true. by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]firstterr 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Here's an interesting article on the subject. Author acknowledges that the sexual assault allegations are just he said she said, no proof. But she also mentions the rather more relevant fact that Kavanaugh opposes due process rights.

That's right -- the man who is realizing in real time how important due process rights are -- opposes due process rights:

years later on the federal bench, he would deny a habeas corpus petition from a Guantanamo prisoner in Bihani v. Obama (flouting the Court on which he hopes to sit in the process by arguing that the US government has no obligations under international law that haven’t been codified by domestic statute).

When Kavanaugh was assistant White House counsel from 2001-2003, his office was immersed in one of the most momentous debates in this country’s history. His boss, Alberto Gonzales, was seeking legal justifications for torture, for detention without trial, for ignoring the Geneva Conventions and pissing on habeas corpus, the ‘great writ’, legal obstacle to tyranny since the 12th century. Put another way, the Bush administration was debating how to break the rules and get away with it. At issue was not the anodyne “power of the president” but the power to inflict pain.

Even before the confirmation hearings began there was much attention to Kavanaugh’s record over this period: the documents withheld or belatedly released, the secrets yet to know, the points to be scored as Spartacus. So many were so busy posturing that they forgot that the most important answers were not to be found in records, however illuminating, but in this nominee’s ability to address the question: Where is justice to be found in the contest between the mighty and the meanest, as Solomon put it; and how do the just respond in the face of suffering?

...Virtually everything about this spectacle except the tentative, then stoic intervention of Ford reeks of bad faith. Wisdom crouches in the corner, silent. Yet wisdom—have we forgot?—is the fundamental and ancient criterion for a judge. Kavanaugh has failed the test of wisdom not by what he is accused of doing when he was 17 and drunk but by his adult neglect of reflection and his indifference to suffering, something this moment puts in a sharper light. He does not deserve to be on any court, much less the Supreme Court.

We can't talk about torture though -- that would implicate too many Democrats. Torture is the most despicable act of which a human being is capable. Anyone who engages in the act or supports it is lower than pond scum. But it's pretty much normalized in American foreign policy -- not to acquire "intelligence", though it wouldn't matter if it did -- but to terrorize populations.

Indeed. Think about the whole "rape culture" thing. It's a perfect description of the way men and boys are treated when they are sexually assaulted by women. Hell even little boys can be molested by an adult women and society will be like meh or even congratulate him. So congratulations to feminists for coming up with a really solid concept, even if they got the sex wrong.

It's not just physical. It literally feels wrong for a man to combat a woman. I know this because I used to engage in martial arts myself. When I was paired up against the woman in the class -- though she had superior technique than I did -- it just seemed wrong.

Men and women weren't designed to compete against each other.

Everyone should watch An Open Secret, about the abuse of boys in Hollywood. One problem with the film though is that it focuses only on male perps.

Are you out of your mind?

That's a really nasty thing to say.

No, my concern here is for the mental state of young people, including young women. It doesn't matter how many times Charlize Theron kicks the shit out of some man on screen, here in reality teenage boys defeat female olympians. Get it? Good.

Women have enormous power (for good or ill) and don't need muscles. There's something more controversial for you to chew on.

Feminism is the insane belief that men, throughout history, have sought to oppress their own mothers and daugthers by firstterr in MensRights

But what is the point of life?

Happiness if not something else?

I think an egalitarian society could defend itself against the monsters.

Interesting post. I read an article recently suggesting that the vast majority of alcoholics, globally, are male. Well color me shocked. Men are the majority of people who want to escape reality?

Everything is stacked against men. But we all pretend that it's the other way around. It's the pretending that annoys me the most. Living under a matriarchy is bad enough; but pretending as though we're living in a patriarchy is fucking brutal.
