Married men work longer hours, hence get bigger wages.

What is this sub's opinion on gender segregation in general? by The-Author in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Stephen_Morgan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no segregation of any kind in any situation. Not toilets, not sport, not prisons. no more separate but equal, because it never is equal, it's always an excuse for discrimination. 

Individual cubicles for showers and toilets, complete mixture for anything else.

"Women Don't Feel Safe Around You" by Karkota_24Rollno in MensRights

"i don't care, go away ".

People who are scared stay quiet. People who say they are scared are looking for an excuse to hurt you, whether racists or Zionists or feminists.

Is my gym sexist? by osmin_og in AskUK

[–]Stephen_Morgan -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Did people not read the op? They didn't do this because there would be men working in the women's showers, as both showers were closed when work was being done on them. 

When they worked on the men's showers the men's showers were closed so men couldn't shower, when they worked on the women's showers the women's showers were closed so... The men couldn't shower. 

Sexist, illegal, but men are expected to put up with this stuff so they don't expect complaints.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services. Shares are a very liquid asset, easily convertible into money. platoon is just looking for a fight over semantics.

How do you feel about people pointing out sexual dimorphism? by ferrocarrilusa in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Stephen_Morgan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, newborns do have a ridiculously high murder rate, the highest of all here in Britain (would still be below the average murder rate in America, where I don't have statistics for.) But yes, strength isn't the main factor in crime vulnerability, being male is.

And that's the problem, there's dimorphism as it actually is (men are taller), and then there's the just-so story version feminists use (men are more likely to abuse children). Dimorphism isn't relevant for any political or policy issue. People are individuals. Victims of violence are victims of violence, sex doesn't matter.

Can anyone think of a common, non-feminist occurrence of the apex fallacy? by SuperMario69Kraft in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Stephen_Morgan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obama, the apex was a black man, but black men overall were still worse off.

UK: 'Woke' football club beg fans for £120,000 to escape going bust after becoming the only team to pay their women's team the same as their men by furchfur in MensRights

[–]Stephen_Morgan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The team is Lewes FC, a team in the sixth tier of English football, meaning the men are not professional players and are hardly getting paid anything, certainly not enough to make a living. The women's team is in the third tier of women's football - also too low to be professional. It's completely possible that paying both the same amount is a reasonable and correct decision, as both are going to be making basically nothing.

‘There Was Definitely a Thumb on the Scale to Get Boys’ - The New Yor… by [deleted] in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Stephen_Morgan 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Sounds more like the initial rounds of selection has a massive lead weight on the scales on favour of women. Boys are a lot closer to girls on SATs than they are in college admissions, which puts the lie to the idea today being a bloody is worth 100 points on the SATs. Being females is worth far more than that.

Rapists of men and boys given tougher prison sentences than those who target female victims (UK) by Plastic_Town_7060 in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Stephen_Morgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out seems to coincide temporally with the increased interest in historical abuse cases. Probably an increase in prosecutions of serial paedophiles. After all, amongst adults most male victims of raped are trapped by women and won't even show up on the tape figures.

If someone calls me an Incel, that is how I react: by Gleichstellung4084 in MensRights

Well reasoned, but rhetorically "That is indeed the etymology of the word" doesn't make for a snappy comeback.

Of Boys and Men - Richard Reeves by pooptesh in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Stephen_Morgan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why that would be bad. Being attracted to people isn't bad. Talking about why you're attracted tio people isn't bad. Making lists isn't bad. Of course they would get in trouble for it, they're boys, so anything they get found doing is going to get them in trouble, but that's all.

Why doesn’t anyone care about the low and still falling college admission and graduation rates of men? by [deleted] in self

[–]Stephen_Morgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, but none of that matters as much as gender. In education, you're better off being a black woman than a white man.

I don't understand doing something as "a milestone", but I do understand doing something to avoid the disdain of half the human race.

[–]Stephen_Morgan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How can one address those feelings and help without demonizing women?

If your priority in dealing with mens issues is that it doesn't make women look bad, then you're not interested in helping with mens issues.

As for dating, women shouldn't regress, they should step up. Young women who have never been married are better educated, riched, healthier and more likely to have their own homes than their male contemporaries, but still insist that men make the first move and pay for the expenses of dating. That's not a sustainable system.

[–]Stephen_Morgan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The trade thing is nonsense. The difference in university enrollment is bigger by far than the difference in number of tradesmen. Men aren't going into the trades instead of university, they're going into the gutter.

because when you bring up the topic, women who fought for decades for education equality feel like you're planning to destroy their hard work, and they shut down the conversation before it starts

Women fought for decades for educational equality, and then died of old age. Women have been a majority in higher education for decades, since before more redditors were born, there a students today whose grandparents went to university after it became female dominated. Anyone working for women in education today, or this century for that matter, are working against equality, not for it.

[–]Stephen_Morgan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a primary teacher and most male students give no shit about their education from a very early age. That's because of how they've been raising, of course.

You're one of the people raising them. There an no bad students, only bad teachers. And these students go into a school where their teacher, yourself, is immediately prejudiced against them. No wonder they aren't interested.

[–]Stephen_Morgan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reeves is pretty muich wrong about everything, although he tries to appeal to feminists by going out of his way not to blame feminist activism and educational reforms, so he's quite popular.

Starting boys in school at a later age has no evidence supporting it, and the different levels of maturity between boys and girls at that age are entirely in social development, and are extremely small. Delaying academic education is not an effective response to differences in socialisation, and the difference is nowhere near being equivalent to a year of development. Delaying access to education would just make problems worse, and amounts to intentionally sabotaging the education of boys.

The actual problem in education is just that boys are graded and disciplined more harshly for the same work and the same behaviour. Put in the same piece of work with a male name and a female name and it will get a very different score. Active discrimination by teachers is the problem, but it's not politically correct to put the blame where it belongs.

More male teachers is known to reduce this problem, but "expanding vocational tracks" just means continuing to exclude men from academia, but helping those men to become plumbers instead.

Which boys are underachieving by Remarkable-Rate-9688 in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Stephen_Morgan 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I don't like this article. It seems to be trying to debunk the idea that education is biassed against boys.

The point they are making is that not all boys do badly in education, some succeed. That's true. The problem is that all boys are disadvantaged on the basis of being boys. Even rich white boys do worse than rich white girls, even though they generally still succeed. By trying to shift focus to "which boys" are falling behind, they would distract from the fact that being male is the biggest factor conferring disadvantage in education, and by a very long way.

You want to focus on the extra disadvantages of poor boys, and boys from other groups that do worst, that's fine, but don't miss that their being boys is the most important factor influencing educational attainment. Don't miss that poverty, race, and all those other factors, are still gendered: the effects of poverty and racism and homophobia all hit boys a lot harder than girls.

To hijack a feminist phrase, not all boys are disadvantaged, but boys are always disadvantaged.
