When every boy becomes grown an the women wonder where all the men have gone, they need only look at what is being created now. Equality means it works the same equally both ways by we will get to that later. When a drunk man can claim rape of a women (because involuntary erections DO infact happen) it will be equal. When a women can make the same as a man it will be equal. It's still a ways off nd women need the validation they have been denied for so many years but after its over the balance will return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775862888492081481.post-91250638528695625162013-04-26T14:19:55.120-07:002013-04-26T14:19:55.120-07:00Thank you for this blog.

I'd personally like to believe feminists much better at helping men and boys. However, when you have highly influential political pressure groups like the AAUW, the Wellesley Center, the Ms. Foundation and influential people in the U. S. Department of Education going around in the 90s talking about short-changed boys in education, with evidence to the contrary... a belief like feminists knowing what they're doing simply fails (see Christina Hoff Sommers The War Against Boys). <br /><br />It's great to advocate for women and girls in STEM fields, but doing just that and ignoring that men and boys often lag in the humanities and liberal arts doesn't sound like an equitable program to me. When you have the AAUW spending hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting the idea of short-changed girls, and a member of the AAUW putting out a study with good evidence indicating short-changed boys instead, but the AAUW doing nothing even remotely comparable to promote that study, there exists a problem... how can it not come as a systematic problem? Since there exists a women's center on so many college campuses, and a dearth of men's centers and people saying things like "the men's center is everywhere else", we have a problem. Since we've had educators putting programs into schools basically trying to force-fed them never proven hypotheses (though potentially philosophically interesting) like "gender is a social construct" to students as if that were scientifically well-supported and portraying men and boys as proto-rapists and proto-batterers... well I hope you can start to see how we can end up angry and looking like misogynists. Oh... and that whole removal of due process (lowering to preponderance of the evidence) for *accused* rapists on college campuses even manages to screw the people who helped promote it http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324600704578405280211043510.html<br /><br />Anyways, since you're a feminist, here's a feminist I'd recommend reading: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/05/women-lie-anonymous/ Spoonwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744695881930867875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775862888492081481.post-78935838732623909132013-04-12T23:46:03.205-07:002013-04-12T23:46:03.205-07:00Well researched and written...

The good men project talks about this a lot (on facebook and online). <br /><br />I think it's good you want to talk about this stuff, and I am a feminist. After hearing from other feminists how horrible may MRAs are, I feel you are putting a good angle on things in this article. I haven't read the rest. But I assure you, other people are trying.

For ANY PERSON t...Specifically here are the facts:<br /><br />For ANY PERSON to get together with another person (including forming a gay couple) you have to go through some steps such as <br /><br />- first fleeting touch<br />- first decrease of physical distance<br />- first more intimate eye-gazing<br />- first more intimate touch<br />- (or) first sexual innuendo<br />- first asking the person for an intimate encounter<br /><br />Feminists REFUSE to define what is the right way or time or place or way to do these things. In other words they refuse to write a list that says:<br /><br />"If you have interacted with a woman for more than 250 minutes and she has shown no discomfort in interacting with you, you may attempt an increase in eye-contact duration, increasing it from 5 to 15 seconds"<br /><br />"If a woman is fine with the increased eye-contact for more than 5 interactions, you may now attempt an innocuous friendly touch"<br /><br />"If you have had more than 5 innocuous touches with a woman and she has responded to each one of them favorably, you may attempt to make a distance decreasing move".<br /><br /><br />Feminists say that if you make a touch too soon, gaze at her too long (etc)... you are a evil, despicable proto-rapist... But you're not allowed to know when "too soon" or how much eye-contact is "too much". In other words, you're supposed to "just know".<br /><br />But if you ask feminists how are you to know which woman prefers how and when and how much and under which conditions, they will shame you, ridicule you, mock you or tell you to buy blow up dolls. But they will REFUSE any CLEAR and SPECIFIC guidelines. <br /><br />They will tell you that you are an evolutionary despicable crap worthy of evolutionary extinction, but they will refuse to DEFINE any CLEAR, SPECIFIC guidelines.<br /><br />Why? Because they know no two women are the same. One woman expects you to make a move between 50 and 100 minutes of knowing her (and if you don't she writes you off as a wimp forever). Another woman is offended if you make a move in less than 5000 minutes of knowing her.<br /><br />And that is FINE - diversity is cool. Of course different women will have different preferences!!! So of course feminists can't write a list that says "you're allowed to touch a woman after 250 minutes of knowing her". BECAUSE DIFFERENT WOMEN PREFER DIFFERENT THINGS.<br /><br />But here's the issue then. If women PREFER different things, how is a man supposed to know what a PARTICULAR woman prefers? I and any sane human would argue that it is impossible to know.<br /><br />And if a man can't know a woman's preferences in advance, how can he be punished for breaking them?<br /><br />Feminists say "err on the side of caution" - as in, "sure some women prefer you get touchy feely on the first date, but to protect the discomfort of the women who prefer no touching until 10 dates have passed, err on the side of waiting till the 10th".<br /><br />Ok fine, but "caution" is an infinite amount. Some woman somewhere prefers a man get to know her as a friend for a minimum of 5 years before he even attempts a decrease in physical space. Sure, she might be one in a million, but where do we define "caution". Is it to the level of accomodating for the 1 in 100 woman? Is it accomodating for the 1 in 1000 woman? Is it accommodating for the 1 in billion woman?<br /><br />Again I HAVE NO PREFERENCE - JUST WRITE IT DOWN.<br /><br />I honestly don't care if feminists say "err on the side of caution to where you must make sure a woman passes 675 tests of interest before you attempt to kiss her" AS LONG AS THEY DEFINE IT - put a NUMBER ON IT. Make it SPECIFIC.Alek Novyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727239708216696902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775862888492081481.post-35717115241002158542012-08-26T03:29:23.050-07:002012-08-26T03:29:23.050-07:00I think you're on to something.

If these rules were ever clear cut, then the jig would be up. But no, men and boys have to tiptoe and walk on eggshells to avoid causing a (possibly histrionic) woman any discomfort.TCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05909797325683131260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775862888492081481.post-56095974218662900222012-08-26T03:05:01.880-07:002012-08-26T03:05:01.880-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793361899870813895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775862888492081481.post-137938829391061192012-01-27T22:55:37.086-08:002012-01-27T22:55:37.086-08:00I must also add that your statement of "suit ...I must also add that your statement of "suit the measure to the matter" has a very Baroque flavor to it, and sounds very similar to Alexander Pope (a Baroque poet) who, in his Essay on Criticism, says "'tis not enough the line gives no offense / the sound must seem an echo to the sense." Like poetry, I believe rhetoric is very much an art.<br /><br />By reading your blog, I believe you are fairly well acquainted with Baroque music. Unless I am mistaken, you have met a fellow enthusiast of Baroque-era art, although my interests lie more with the literature of the time. Hence, my inability to refrain from commenting on the similarity.TCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05909797325683131260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775862888492081481.post-18712698176685708892012-01-27T22:32:51.122-08:002012-01-27T22:32:51.122-08:00Thank you, Fidelbogen.
