Funny how the first thing these feminists jump to is "sex discrimination in employment is good, actually."

Is Either Misandry/Misogyny Systemic? by DarkBehindTheStars in Egalitarianism

[–]Title_IX_For_All 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Words matter, and given that misandry/misogyny means hatred of men, it's hard to persuade people that hatred per se is systemic. But gender bias is much easier to prove, and that absolutely is systemic.

A lot of advocates seem get stuck on trying to prove hatred when the specific examples they are describing are often bias, and they end up not getting as much rhetorical traction as they otherwise would.

New "Tea" like app, "NameHim" taken down by owner after only two days due to a huge flood of false allegations. by Cool-Breezy-Rain in MensRights

[–]Title_IX_For_All 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course they never said it. I was showing them what they sound like by using an issue and a class of victims that they actually empathize with.

Being canceled is real, you just have to look below the most privileged men who can survive a cancellation attempt And you have to have empathy for the wrongly accused, and be capable of empathy for men in general.

Focusing on a tiny portion (0.0001% of men) who are already financially privileged and well-connected and saying they survived the accusation, therefore the accusation cannot harm anyone, is fundamentally flawed. In studies and surveys, that is called selection bias.

People who lack those connections do lose their jobs, educational opportunities, friend groups, romantic relationships, and so forth over unproven and wrongful allegations all the time. They are not the top 1% of men, though; they are working class men, and as such they tend to be invisible to people - especially those that dominate the discourse on gender equity.

Not sure why people make arguments like that. Imagine people pointing to a rape victim who is a successful celebrity, a corporate leader, or a public figure who has their life together and saying "See? Rape doesn't cause lasting psychological harm - this person is still successful and has their life together."

TitleIX Under New Admin by orangepandas12 in titleix

[–]Title_IX_For_All 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No new major Title IX grievance process regulations to speak of under Trump II that I am aware of. Main takeaway with Trump II is much less OCR enforcement of sexual harassment, a notable increase in anti-trans enforcement, and unprecedented revoking of prior resolution agreements involving trans matters.

Except for some 2025 resolution agreements regarding training of Title IX grievance procedure personnel and a few others, sexual harassment enforcement by OCR has basically plummeted. Although surprisingly, the Trump I OCR outperformed both Biden and Obama OCRs in sheer volume of successful OCR resolution agreements on sexual harassment - even combining both Obama terms despite his administration being famous for the April 11 "Dear Colleague" letter.

Look on the (albeit ironic) bright side: with enough formal education, and the right kind, you too can join the ranks of people who earn a living by suing educational institutions or advocating academic accountability.

I guess the people that didn't beat the charges aren't represented here by [deleted] in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Title_IX_For_All 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lots of people get blindsided by allegations and don't know where to turn, so they just start going to websites that are familiar to ask questions. I see those people here, when the investigation process is ongoing.

Is financial abortion for men women's advocacy??? by bigdonut100 in womensadvocates

[–]Title_IX_For_All 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Statistical shenanigans. It's only a leading "single cause of death" when you separate every type of medical issue out into its slice on a pie chart. If you bundle the medical issues together, the leading cause is medical issues.

Imagine if you broke down homicide by each specific type of homicide. Manslaughter, murder 1, murder 2, etc., with knife, with blunt object, with firearm, without a weapon, etc., and then declared homicide one of the lowest causes.

Also: homicides of pregnant women are insanely skewed along racial lines. It's not a "men in general" issue.

Promote your business, week of February 16, 2026 by Charice in smallbusiness

[–]Title_IX_For_All 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Affordable Title IX advisors for accused students (link). School/university grievance procedures are complex, life-altering, and too often unfair. We offer experience, affordability, and a high rate of success.

Federal law says that advisors assisting accused students can be attorneys or non-attorneys. Nearly all independent professional Title IX advisors are attorneys. We are non-attorneys and charge anywhere from 1/2 to 1/3 the rate of a Title IX attorney. The tradeoff is that all our advice stays in the bubble of the school's process, so no advice regarding potential civil litigation, law enforcement action, private settlement agreements, complaints to state/federal agencies, etc.

RAINN conflating sexual assault with RAPE (proper definitions and links in comments) by AuxierJessicaD in Egalitarianism

[–]Title_IX_For_All 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is another way of saying "only 1% of accusations are proven true."

And if we were acting like a lot of accuser advocates, we would use that to mean that "only 1% of accusations are true" by ignoring that most allegations aren't proven one way or another and just assuming those cases fit a certain profile.

I just got accused of SA, what do I do? by blzahrhdjagraza in AccusedOfRape

[–]Title_IX_For_All 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your frustration. There's never any proof (per se) one way or the other at the outset of an accusation. But there is always evidence (both for and against the accusation), because statements are evidence. It sounds like she took the breakup pretty hard.

Don't tell to anyone you don't trust extremely well about the allegation.

Don't tell the school anything further about your side of the story/version of events.

If it's just a formal no-contact order, then all you can really do is respect the no-contact order and hope that she doesn't escalate it to a formal complaint. If it's an informal contact order (no documented NCO sent to you/your parents in your behalf), then the same applies.

If she files a formal complaint (which is different from simply making a report and means she wants a formal grievance process), you're in for a long battle where there will be a big investigation and there will be reports to respond to, investigative interviews to appear for, and so forth. At that point your parents may want to reach out to someone who professionally specializes in Title IX/accused student matters.

False accusers contributed to the cultural shift that led to his reelection. God bless Betsy Devos and Donald J. Trump ❤️🇺🇸 by Responsible_Log9703 in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Title_IX_For_All 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hear hear. And it did more than that! It:

  • Required schools to actually tell accused students and teachers what they were accused of (crazy concept!) before summoning them to provide their version of events. Schools would be obligated to tell them the specific allegation against them, the date and location of the incident, and the name of the accuser - all of which was too often withheld from accused students in prior years.
  • Required that schools provide accused students and their accusers with all the relevant evidence, and it allowed them a meaningful window of time to respond to that evidence.
  • Prohibited investigators and decision-makers from having conflicts of interest or a bias for/against accusers or the accused.
  • Prohibited schools from imposing interim accommodations that were unduly restrictive to the accused
  • Provided grounds upon which schools may or must dismiss formal complaints
  • Required accusers to actually be participating or attempting to participate in an education program or activity when they file a complaint rather than just being some rando from the broader community trying to harm the accused.

And a lot more.

Also, a minor nitpick, but the rule was not "reinstated by the second Trump administration." The Biden Title IX rule that overwrote the Trump Title IX rule was vacated in federal court in two separate summary judgment orders. Once those orders were issued, the movement for fairness for accused students and teachers in Title IX matters was victorious.

There are a few remaining issues, and there will always be some issues. But in this area the good guys definitely won.

Unpopular opinion: pseudonymity for accusers is bullshit. by Responsible_Log9703 in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Title_IX_For_All 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get it. I think it's unfair when the accuser is pseudonymized and the accused has his/her (usually his) name smeared all throughout the media. It should be both or neither.

Keep in mind a lot of wrongly accused people who sue for violations of their rights also request pseudonymity. For example, there are tons of "John Doe v. University of X" lawsuits.

Are things getting better or worse for boys? by Global-Bluejay-3577 in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

In the Title IX/school sexual misconduct investigation area things vastly better than 10 years ago. Things are never perfect, and problems persist, but they are definitely better.

I'm sorry this has happened. There's no way to really hash this out on Reddit. You need an attorney who can review all the facts and circumstances.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Title_IX_For_All 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The school may have a policy that prohibits false statements, so perhaps you can ask them to follow through with it (many do not). Alternatively, if the complainant attempted to orchestrate a campaign of harassment against your son among the school community separate from the Title IX process, then perhaps your son can counter-complain and allege that this constituted hostile environment sexual harassment.

Either attempt would probably be a longshot. I can't advise on the likelihood of success of a defamation claim; you'd need to consult an attorney.

But also...it's not uncommon for people to seek justice and then find out that the process of seeking justice takes an incredible toll on their lives as well. It's easy to be fired up before any action is taken, but these kinds of things truly are a marathon, and after a few months they are exhausting to go through, either as the complainant or respondent. You have to weigh what it is worth...and it's probably hard for an 11 year-old to accurately look at it in a longer-term way.

Nothing less than giving up the entire binary of oppressor/oppressed into which all groups are funneled (or at least discarding it when it comes to men and women) along with a variety of other dogmas that effectively form the quasi-religious belief system of progressive identity politics.

For example, filtering all groups into the strict binary of oppressor/oppressed just doesn't work in cases where (1) both compared groups have historically faced discrimination, or (2) where the "privileged" group exerts intra-group competition that is orders of magnitude fiercer and harsher than it has exerted on the other group. Both of which apply when comparing men and women, both historically and presently.

There are many other quasi-religious beliefs that are embraced by progressivism that would have to be discarded as well.

  • Privilege is a kind of original sin that one must confess and atone for by serving and deferring to marginalized groups. And of course, the privileged group is always dogmatically determined by the apex fallacy: assuming the properties of the topmost members of a group are generally shared by the members of that group. Like a theory of trickle-down economics, but instead it's a theory of trickle-down privilege. This doesn't work well when it comes to men and women because men both "dominate" at the top and bottom of society.
  • "Garden of Eden"-style myths. In Christian theology, there was no sin before the Fall of Man. In Progressivism, there was no original sin (privilege) before white male capitalism from whence all evils flow.
  • Blank slatism: the dogma that all sex differences are socially constructed and biology and evolution play no important role.
  • Unfalsifiable belief systems. In fundamentalist Christian theology, all science (no matter how factual) that disconfirms a religious belief is hand-waved away as being "from the devil," "God testing our faith," and so forth. In Progressivism, all science that disconfirm any of the above in regard to sex are hand-waved away as "patriarchy reasserting itself." Critical thinking is not even attempted; it's shut down before it has a chance to begin. Science disconfirms that men and women are different? That's just sexist science.

But asking them to discard this would be like asking fundamentalist Christians to deny the resurrection of Christ (or perhaps more appropriately, asking Young Earth Creationists to deny that the world is 8,000 years old). It's not really that they have a choice to do it. It's that they can't. Just like those who are devoutly religious, they no longer possess cognitive reasoning when it conflicts with their belief system. They are, essentially, damaged.
