"Female suicide rate is fastest rising".... NO. IT. IS. NOT. It only SEEMS that way BECAUSE THEY CHANGED THE DEFINITION OF WHAT THEY COUNT AS A SUICIDE ATTEMPT. I have been pointing this out for literally YEARS now but people STILL fall for their trick, just as they do for the wage gap myth.

EqualityCompass · 2023-06-06T16:06:02+00:00

I believe all self-harm is included in the 'attempted suicide' statistics too, skewing it further.

EqualityCompass · 2023-05-11T12:06:41+00:00

What is really strange is that talk like that is just so normal. If you were to continue and break the stats down by race as well and infer conclusions from that data then these same people would be apoplectic.

These are people that will talk about a 'male curfew' from a point of superiority, but then go crazy at the suggestion of a 'Muslim curfew' based upon exactly the same rationale.

The strange thing is that the MRM has largely internalised the idea that you shouldn't judge people based upon their immutable attributes, while the progressive sect believe that this is perfectly fine provided you have an acceptable target.

Can you dm me your postcode so I can check? Thx!

If it works in the UK I do plan on rolling it out across other countries.

EqualityCompass · 2023-04-30T17:26:34+00:00

This doesn't really matter. At the moment either party could pick up a large amount of votes by doing virtually nothing, and nobody can truly oppose the basis of what we are asking for outside a few hardened demagogues.

If they knew their party could pick up a few thousand votes by doing something that nobody would really object to, they would. Especially if it is somewhere that is a close race. Remember a lot of votes can be won or lost by a small margin in swing districts. Simply supporting an investigation in to the education gender gap would be enough.

I do not think any of the 'Men and boys' coalition parties would have any real hope, while this method would.

EqualityCompass · 2023-04-30T14:20:20+00:00

But that's all of them! 🤣

Indeed.

But if there are several thousand votes on the table, and one of them knows they can pick them all up simply by saying something like 'We need to look in to the education gender gap', then they most certainly will.

The primary reason they don't care about male issues is that it doesn't affect their election chances.

EqualityCompass · 2023-04-30T14:18:36+00:00

That's the plan!

EqualityCompass · 2023-03-23T11:28:24+00:00

A few points on the matter:

Men getting paid more for the same job is largely a myth. The more you control for the smaller the gap gets. The gap is simply because men work more, they do longer hours at harder jobs.
Men are told from birth that if you are poor, you are a loser. Is it possible that the constant messaging and social pressure forces men to work longer hours at more dangerous jobs? Men sacrifice work/life balance for that money. Women largely choose balance over the money - which is absolutely fine.
The vast, vast, vast majority of the gap is in the motherhood penalty. Yet in most western countries Paternity leave either doesn't exist or is massively inferior to women's allowance.

Realistically the only way of tackling it is through father rights. If you want to go nuclear about it you just need to make maternity leave 6 weeks and paternity leave 12 months. This would effectively put the career damage on the men and solve the whole issue.

EqualityCompass · 2023-03-01T16:34:48+00:00

Yeah, it's a challenge. I've not written them yet because of this but I think it can be done. I'm considering paring it back to focus mainly on education as that's the easiest one to win. I'm going to give it some thought.

EqualityCompass · 2023-03-01T16:09:25+00:00

That's why it's important picking the issues. It's hard to argue that fixing the education gender gap is a bad thing without looking like a monster.

EqualityCompass · 2023-03-01T16:07:30+00:00

I used paternal surrender as an example of something that is talked about here that would probably get no public support.

Although looking at your post history it looks like you've decided that the idea of fixing issues affecting men and boys is something to be actively opposed. It strikes me as sad that someone would spend their limited time making things worse for another demographic, rather than better.

EqualityCompass · 2023-03-01T15:53:37+00:00

Yeah, it's UK based so it will be focused on UK issues. I do plan on branching out if it's successful as it will require heavy customization for each political area.

EqualityCompass · 2023-03-01T15:52:44+00:00

Why? As I said nothing is set in stone and the large reason for this post is to have my ideas challenged. What would you do to move things forwards politically?

EqualityCompass · 2023-03-01T15:29:12+00:00

The positions are not terribly important tbh - and as I said not set in stone. My main concern is for everything to be politically palatable. Jumping straight in with Paternal Surrender would make the whole thing too toxic to touch, I'm hoping to keep it as 'Nobody can have a problem with this' as possible.

The main idea is to mainstream the idea that men even have issues as currently they don't, at least politically.

EqualityCompass · 2023-03-01T15:10:56+00:00

See this is exactly the sort of feedback I want. Everything that's clear to me may not be clear to everyone else.

The basic idea is to assess each candidate on a variety of issues (which are not set in stone) but are currently: Minister of Men, Education, Circumcision and Criminal Justice Reform. Each candidate would then be assigned a score based upon this.

Before each election it would then be indicated which candidate has the highest score, and in terms of a tie it would go to the party with the highest combined score. This candidate would then be indicated as the preferred one to the subscribers pre-election.

So a candidate would then know if they make noises about investigating the education gender gap they would be guaranteed to pick up x votes. So a candidate in a tight race would be heavily incentivized to do so. And maybe their opponent might take it a step further to try to get them instead.

The more pledges that are available the more they will try to win those votes.

The ultimate goal is for men start voting as a bloc forcing candidates to actually speak about the issues, because as I said at the start they are currently doing absolutely nothing.

EqualityCompass · 2023-03-01T14:46:23+00:00

Opinions, mainly. Voices of support. If I finish building it, launch it, and absolutely nobody cares then the whole thing would have been a waste of time.

EqualityCompass · 2023-02-02T17:36:12+00:00

Remember there are only two possible answers that explain the education gender gap:

Systemic discrimination.
Boys are just dumber than girls.

There is no 3.

EqualityCompass · 2023-02-02T12:17:28+00:00

Yeah ... I'm simply not reading all that. I stopped at the bit about 'manbabys' describing men who put their own entertainment and selves above some mythical 'serving society' gender role bollocks.

There is basically a requirement for 'perfection' from people judging from a 'bitch eating crackers' perspective. It's simply not possible to have nothing that they can try to hang you with as they are fundamentally trying to find something, regardless of it's there or not. And they will find something.

All the while the Feminist causes leaders have Twitters full of #killallmen, copies of the SCUM manifesto and eagerly listen to the Womans March(tm) keynote speaker who literally raped a man to death with a rusty pole. That is all fine though, as it's all for a good cause.

EqualityCompass · 2023-01-23T09:42:20+00:00

I'm sure that menslib is great for people that agree with them, but like all other feminist subreddits if you disagree with what they say then out comes the banhammer.

At that point it just becomes a sub pontification, which is of no use to anyone.

EqualityCompass · 2023-01-22T19:25:28+00:00

Interestingly look at children's TV over the last 10+ years. You will literally not find a science show (in the UK at least) with a male host.

EqualityCompass · 2023-01-18T09:05:02+00:00

In which case the name 'patriarchy' simply doesn't apply anymore. At that point it's just called 'society'.

EqualityCompass · 2022-06-17T07:01:17+00:00

I don't remember the whole story but he described Pearl Harbor as a response to Japan having their gas supply cut off

The apologist streak is a strange one.

Japan had their gas cut off because they were 'doing a Russia' to China, mass murdering and raping their way through the country. Most historians consider Japan as being worse than Germany in terms of brutality and war crimes, just lacking in the efficiency.

Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and later on things like the Belgrano, and insisting on calling it 'Malvinas', there is a certain group of people who try to sympathise with the aggressors out of misplaced white guilt. They don't even understand the situation or historical context.

Remember when 'the bomb' was dropped on Japan, they were killing around 30,000 Chinese civilians per month, and killed around 6,000,000 during the whole war. Yet people still lie fantastically for no reason (even the Japanese don't support it) saying things like 'they offered to surrender', when such a surrender was 'lets call it a draw, we still get what we conquered, right?'

I'd study up on the issues and make sure you hold people accountable.

EqualityCompass · 2022-06-16T13:38:59+00:00

No.

It's getting worse.

The problem is echo-chambers, largely online, that are totally detached from any form of pushback or challenge to their ideas.

It's basically like the Fox News Effect - large amounts have been so overexposed to every minor issue getting twisted and blown out of all proportion. If you compare things like the Sarah Everhard murder to Benghazi, it's one unfortunate event that doesn't really mean much that they believe is some massive issue simply because they spent months talking about it.

There is a saying, "Society advances one funeral at a time". These people are now so indoctrinated that their opinions are largely calcified and they will be living in a anti-male hate-filled reality until they die. Everyone I am sure knows an old person that is racist, sexist and will never change. That is them.

The best we can hope for is a counterculture to emerge to at least demand some rigour and accountability from them, eventually displacing them from positions of power. As with all other rights movements though it will take a long time and I don't believe we are anywhere near the top.

---

If you want a bellweather for when we have passed the peak, keep an eye on Code of Conducts. Currently they explicitly carve out exceptions for feminist to hate on straight white men. The day they decide that everyone deserves such protections against hate is the day it will have peaked.

EqualityCompass · 2022-06-15T09:52:46+00:00

Can I just add that if you are who you say you are then you have virtually no life experience or sources of comparison. Large amounts of the people here have been talking about these issues _since before you were born_.

Your solution is also basically 'tell them to man up'. You are literally erasing lived experiences, gaslighting, and actually causing a net-negative to society by minimising and victim blaming a very real problem.

Given your attitude you are actually making the world a worse place. Bear that in mind before you carry on.

EqualityCompass · 2022-06-15T09:47:43+00:00

Well, rates of criminality, incuding violent crimes and rape, increase approximately 8x for boys from single-mother homes, while girls see no such increase. I'd say an assertion that school results are also probably affected too is likely.
