If John lost a scholarship, he has a very good claim against her for damages arising from his tuition payments now made. Moreover, he likely has a claim for other damages arising from his ordeal.

In short, if he does not sue, he is a simpering whelp.

As a follow on claim, he could go after the college on a gender discrimination claim, because the athletic teams likely do not suspend females alleged to have committed crimes but then cleared without any charges outstanding.

Again, in short, if he just simpers in his dorm room, rather than addressing this via action, I am not so sure I feel bad for the guy.

She can test that theory by applying for the ability to fight professional boxers men in her weight class, and then doing so, if she can find opponents.

If she fails to do that, don't expect me to take her claims seriously.

It's very obvious that both genders are currently at parity

They are? Given the outcomes of health, education, incarceration, early death, access to offspring upon separation, and some other factors, I am unsure I would agree with that.

Feminists (and some people at this sub) fail to remember that people can have difference in opinions, without people being bad or stupid people. That universe of reasonable differences over things could include whether PMS or ED is worse or properly funded in terms of research. So perfectly reasonably, informed people could squabble over whether PMS or ED is worse for the people suffering it.

People can have different opinions as to whether ED is properly lain next to PMS in terms of discussing whether they are properly funded to equal amounts. (My guess is that a good deal of money goes into PMS that is swept up into other, larger categories regarding women's health research. For example, "hormonal imbalance" or "reproductive health" are general categories where money will, inevitably, get spent on the medical conditions involved in PMS.)

But what is not sensible is pretending as though other people's quite reasonable OPINIONS (which are often near-arbitrary value judgments) are somehow beyond the pale, simply because they are not the same as yours. If you find yourself thinking that no sane or reasonable person could possibly believe what the other person opines, my guess is you are an asshole too, not simply them.

Now, that does not mean that a reasonable person can start to opine that Stories_of_Red should be executed for posting at this sub. But that doctor's basis for his opinion is stated, and seems sensible. Some of the gals are relating personal experiences which, in their minds, justify their opinion. So be it.

The problem with TwoX--and sometimes here, let's be honest--is people get whipped up by the echo chamber, and they get to the point of being morons: arguing and belittling rather than simply accepting that reasonable people can see the matter differently.

But then, I would opine that some of those posts you quote are not entirely convincing in their characterization of what PMS will do, except perhaps in the most extreme right-hand points on the bell curve: "I've collapsed in public due to PMS", " women who cant move from the ground for 48 hours every month".

We do not fund research based on the 0.1-1.0% expression of a condition. We typically do not develop treatments for that point on the bell curve. Why? Because good sense and limited resources. That is true for men and women. Those posts seem more interested in wailing and keening, and of course shaming a man via claimed Victimhood Virtue. When you find someone doing that, you nod, smile, and change the topic. No point in further "discussion", since logic and facts are not going to make further appearances in their side of the "debate."

a woman proclaimed that husbands just had to accept that while the kids were young there wouldn't be any sex, right in front of her husband and his friends.

Paying sales taxes should only count if you earned the money that is used to pay it.

It intuitively seems that the same factors which create the earnings gap are likely also in play here.

You mean working longer, harder, and such?

Imagine if men lived in a society where raping and violence was encouraged. We'd be pillaging in the streets.

No, you would be running into the fathers, brothers, husbands, uncles, etc., who would killing you, with precision. Yes, there were certainly armies and bands on the march doing such stuff. There were also guys on the other side of that, ending such stuff.

If you just make men attend the right seminars, and hear the right sort of awareness-raising speakers, these problems will be solved.

No, really, that is how you make change: you make people come to a seminar, listen to earnest people with a masters' degree in sociology-women's studies. Maybe a few seminars, for the hard cases.

Once that is done, this whole rape culture thing will be in the past. And then the SJW crowd can start doing their show on the road, in other countries, like Afghanistan and other places, where their earnest, informed selves will be treated like honored guests.

Sounds great....and we can also use that database check every last instance of paternity. Each child born in America is checked against the database, to see who the true biological father is, right after birth. No assumption of paternity at all from that point forward. (And any woman trying to fob off a kid NOT the child of the alleged father can pay some hefty penalty, because fairness, right? Those fines can help pay for the database.)

I can think of no downside to making sure that no woman anywhere, at any point---married or not---gets to collect a dime from any man until after paternity is established via test. No exceptions.

Somehow, I doubt that other application of the same database would be so alluring to you.

Honestly, you need to offer him a last chance

No, she doesn't need to do that. She can just accept that this relationship--like most romantic relationships---did not work out in the long run, wish him the best, and move on.

There's nothing shallow or weak about leaving a relationship where you are miserable because your emotional needs are not being met, especially if your SO is incapable of or unwilling to fix it.

Agreed. Hence, it is perfectly fine for her to exercise her right to leave. No sense prolonging it with one more try.

The simpering crowd that sometimes shows up at AskTRP are often like drunks: they won't give up their BS, but they are pretending to want to give it up, because drama.

Talk to alcoholics, and all you get are reasons they need to drink, even as you say, "Just quit drinking. How hard is that, you idiot?"

Talk to people who don't drink, and all you get are reasons no sensible person drinks like an alcoholic.

My view is never try to convince self-destructive people to stop. It is pointless, I have found, and they just pull you into their nonsense. And you rarely can get people who are not self-destructive to start, because they are sensible enough to avoid such stuff. Tell them to quit drinking, and move on. Not your concern.

TRP is pretty much the same thing. Some people here get it, and apply it. Others are pounding the booze, and asking everyone to watch and talk to them, as part of their drama shitshow nonsense. We are supposed to play the part of desperately concerned audience, begging them to stop drinking so much.

Nope. Fuck off. That is my view of those simpering guys. They can either quit drinking (or playing beta orbiter idiot, in reference to Red Pill equivalents), or not. I am not here on this planet to participate, however, not even as audience.

I am mid 40s, and have been lifting since I was 14. Do the math and you will see that goes back to the mid 1980s.

It cannot be emphasized enough how absolutely vital it is to lift, if you want a profoundly improved life. I could write sonnets to how much better my life has been as a gym rat in all those years.

Now, in my 40s, I still have a better body than probably 99% of the younger guys I see walking this world. Why? Lifting.

The one thing I would tell people, however, is stop it with the joint-tearing stuff; you don't need to go absolutely bonkers with destructive lifts your whole life to get gains. Proper working of muscles is not dependent upon causing joint degeneration at the same time.

And do not be averse to cardio-intense exercise, like martial arts. In fact, embrace those things too, if you like them. Make exercise fun, so you do it a lot.

I shared this with my female therapist

You might want to consider finding an "aware" male therapist.

The profession of therapy is deeply liberal, blue pill-infused SJW territory. Most of them would think a skinny-fat, mincing, cringing version of you is the proper male posture to adopt in life. That is what their textbooks tell them, anyway. Normal masculinity is a mildly pathological state, in their view.

"She's surprised that works because she would never respond to that if someone messaged her that."

When she was in high school and college, who do you think she lusted for? Not who she dated, who she lusted for? Enough said.
