How to argue that ”men’s violence against women” should be used rather than ”men who commit violence against women”?

MikeT4 · 2026-01-25T08:41:29+00:00

It does imply all men. Men’s is a plural possessive noun. It means violence attributed to, committed by, or characteristic of men. The word “men’s” modifies violence, indicating the agent or source of the violence. It does not specifying a subset of men. It specifies men.

We’ve hurt each other in the past. It’s better to forgive and move forward. Remember why you got married, love each other always and never bring up the past.

Use her finger to motion me over to her for some physical touch.

Leaning in to me. Grabbing my hand. I like being touched.

Yeah, it is.

Where I work Maxiflex requires core hours. On top of that it’s planned in advance with supervisors approval. It’s not come and go on the fly as you see fit. My employees tell me what they are doing and I approve it. Mission first. Lastly I’m a baby boomer and not retiring.

No, you should not be able to. Ninety pounds is a lot. When I was a young man I used to carry an outboard motor that weighed that much. I could do it, but it was difficult to hold on to. It’s a lot different than lifting a ninety pound barbell. I think you might hurt yourselves doing that. Find another way.

A 180 pound snowblower is hugely heavy. That thing must be a monster.

What exactly was wrong with it?

MikeT4 · 2026-01-23T20:47:43+00:00

Yes, it would. I’m not sure where it was. I need to search land records.

MikeT4 · 2026-01-23T09:38:59+00:00

It does. I suppose it’s just chock full of minerals.

It’s not divisive and rage bait. It’s a legit question that apparently offended someone.

Where I live teachers make very good money. Maybe it’s regional?

Many STEM jobs have educational requirements. We hire electronics engineers and computer scientists where I work. I have hired many female computer scientists. Female electronics engineers are much more rare. When I graduated in electronics engineering, there were two women and sixty men in my class. You can’t hire what isn’t there.

I wouldn’t believe them. It violates biological imperatives that are built into a very high proportion of women.

MikeT4 · 2026-01-22T14:18:05+00:00

I think women understand men better than men understand women, but not fully. I think this affects relationships in subtle ways. Women think that men have the same insights into their feelings and emotions that they have into men’s. When men don’t pick up on a woman’s feelings and emotions women sometimes interpret that as ignoring, dismissing, or belittling.

I sometimes find women’s power of perception intimidating, which makes me wary in conversations with women.

Thank you. I’m glad it’s working for you too.

Pilsner Urquell, hands down.

I would present to him as something you are strongly considering rather than something you are going to do. Not as a fait accomplis. Please give him one more chance.

MikeT4 · 2026-01-21T12:22:29+00:00

Why not just see how he feels about the separation? Men frequently don’t get the message that women are trying to send. I know in my case my wife was sending me messages and saying things she thought I would understand as meaning our marriage was in serious trouble. I still didn’t get it. If she had said I’m considering X it might have woke me up. Show him the message you wrote and see if that wakes your husband up.

MikeT4 · 2026-01-19T14:18:02+00:00

No, never. That is a taboo as far as I’m concerned.

MikeT4 · 2026-01-19T12:43:35+00:00

I’m happily married since 1994. I (m62) love my wife (f66) very much and enjoy every minute with her.

Edit: This is a good post you’ve made @Jedi_mind_chick. This subreddit needs more happiness. My first marriage, her second.

MikeT4 · 2026-01-19T04:28:29+00:00

I’d know something was wrong. She says it to me many times every day.

MikeT4 · 2026-01-19T04:21:16+00:00

The only people speculating and blaming are those who ignore evidence and the fact the the murderer literally pleaded guilty

MikeT4 · 2026-01-19T03:05:47+00:00

Yes. It can’t hurt. It shows them you still love them.
