I kinda see discrimination as being based on bias, like misandry
That a park on a hill that leads down to the river, it wasn’t too bad for us but I know the water level got up to 12m in Lismore (just upriver from us)
@Men Are Human now I really want to know an example of unbiased discrimination xD
That's kinda what I mean! It pretty much has to be based on something like that.
Maybe it's like discrimination based on a skill or trait like strength. I guess you could call it unbiased but technically leads to a group of people being far less likely to be selected
I guess.
I'm going to a feminist meeting tomorrow at my uni. The topic is against rape and sexual assault.
If you find me on the internet, accused of sexism, please note that I was framed. Thank you.
Lol >.<
oh wow, what are the circumstances? do you have to go? are you going just to listen? or are you going there to try and do a discussion?
I haven't researched the sources for this but it may be worthwhile showing them this
Women of that same age range not in college are more at risk of sexual assault than those in college
In addition, men at college of that age range are almost twice as likely to be sexual assaulted as those outside college
Male college-aged students (18-24) are 78% more likely than non-students of the same age to be a victim of rape or sexual assault.1Female college-aged students (18-24) are 20% less likely than non-students of the same age to be a victim of rape or sexual assault.1
So why there's such a focus on prevention on campus...?
If anything men are the ones more put at risk for going
@Stargazer Sazuri You should mention some of the studies on the Reddit.
You can also find the personal stories of men and boys on www.menarehuman.com
You should read out this one: https://menarehuman.com/sexual-harassment-men-and-boys/
Or if you want to nuke them from orbit: https://menarehuman.com/raised-by-a-convicted-female-sex-offender/
Broadly related, we just had a new article by the way: https://menarehuman.com/sexism-vs-boys-part-1/
Looks good, I remember reading a lot of those
It's nice to see all these stories from the reddit compiled in one place 😃
Cool. :) If you see any others we could do, let me know. I check New way too much, but I do miss things. I think it's extremely important to start documenting all of this in one place where it won't get lost on Reddit.
Html at the bottom of the page is fixed, thanks for reporting that @InsaneCaterpilla
How does shit like this always have 0 controversy?
Wow. What a massive sexist bitch.
That is literally abuse, and it hits some of the biggest and most toxic parts of the Feminist movement. Especially the way she makes sure her girl not only has every advantage, and sabotages the males - who she literally sees as inferior.
The boy was joking l, I think. And stating facts.
Thanks by the way. I'm going to add it as an example of misandry on men are human
This gave me a good giggle xD
So, there is one aspect of the earnings-related issues that I found more interesting than the others (none of the aspects of the earnings gap that are related to post-second-child mothers -- most of them -- really matter to me). This article: https://equalitycanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Exploring-the-Boys-Crises-in-Education.pdf by the Canadian Council on Learning (government funded, now defunct) says this:
"Recent research has focused on returns in higher education and degrees
differing by gender, with the literature suggesting that higher rate s of
return for women, who often do not have access to some of the highly paid jobs
in industries (such as the resource sector) which may not require high levels
of education, may be one factor explaining the gender gap in higher education.
In other words, men may have alternative choices to earn very good wages
outside of the occupations requiring university graduation. Comparison of wages
by gender is an exercise fraught with methodological problems but general
trends seem clear."
In other words, part of the reason for post-secondary achievement differences is due to the physical differences in strength between men and women
Which, when both sexes are presented with a more equitable need for high wages, will drive an education achievement gap, as it becomes more necessary for women
Of course, that paragraph also sounds like it believes the wage gap itself is a real issue....but the actual point it is making is more sound
You can perhaps include that as a factor, and its fine to acknowledge it, but it does detract from anti-male bias in higher education and female specific advantages such as scholarships and female only classes, as well as the bias of teachers of marking boys in even basic education, preventing them from achieving what they need to advance
