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

https://www.rainn.org/statistics/campus-sexual-violence

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

Oh, this isn't for the article, just part of my research. That document in particular covers the main parts of the boys education crisis from a slightly more men-centered viewpoint than moderate feminism and in particular notes the changes made to accomodate boys in certain countries (with respect to reading achievement in particular)

That paragraph is neat for the rest of us, not for the article that focuses on education outcomes.

..

Although it may be worth noting that I'm not going to mention the gender gap in post secondary achievement in the article, not so much because of that but because men are abandoning university because it is becoming less useful at securing a successful future

Whereas women seem to be less concerned about university not paving the way for a successful future -- as evidenced by taking gender studies and English degrees, for instance in greater proportions

Which is silly really, because the potential job opportunities of gender studies are... What exactly? I guess you could become part of the BBC staff. Or write yet another feminist opinion piece on how men are scum.
