Seriously do you really believe there is an anti male bias!!! I don't know!! Perhaps you could give me some examples of new anti male bias in the last decade that is down to Government.

Because I detest Thatcher and her anti humanity stance on life in general does not mean I support this current mob in office.......Personally I am anti polititions in general regrdless of party or should I say orgy.....

I believe that there are a section of men, and I think you are one of them, who feel so victimised by everything that they cannot be taken seriously. I also think men like that are the real sheep.

GiRth, seriously, read up on some of the information Ron posted to see the evidence, don't just disagree before you have read it. If you read the information you will see it rings true and is not just an opinion. Also, how does stating facts make someone sexist?

You reported him for calling you an idiot because you disagreed before even looking up the evidence, yet it is ok for you to call him sexist for simply stating facts?

They can't be taken seriously despite a vast body of evidence that suggests their arguments are correct? Maybe you should read it before disagreeing? Also, you said nothing of views, you just said: 'I smell sexism'. I don't see why it makes a differance anyway, I could call your views idiotic, would that be better for you?

Also, I would just like to add GiRTh, do you despise women who feel like they are being victimised or do you think they deserve a voice in case their claims are true? Would you just dismiss a women in such a way if she felt victimised?

You don't think men are victims ever? You despise men that think they are victims without looking at any evidence that suggests they actually might be? Why is that?

I do despise women who feels they are being victimised all the time but not half as much as I despise men who feel they are the victim of every attempt to redress the balance.

Of course men are victims but some people act like in every hour of every day somewhere a man is being victimised for simply being a man. It's laugable.

GiRTh
15-01-2008, 03:27 PM
I find the premise of this whole thread a joke. Men are the most dominant demographic in our society but whenever there is an attempt to redress the balalnce they are the one who claim discrimination. It's laugable. There is example after example of societies bias toward men but some men cant see it. They are the one who need read and assess the evidence.

Matt10k
15-01-2008, 03:31 PM
You despise men more? I don’t understand why that is?? You hate male victims more than women victims but claim you despise both! You may find men feeling victimised ‘laughable’, I find the fact you despise men and women who feel they are victims worrying. Do you lack all compassion? You also disregard all facts presented to you, refuse to read up points that will prove our claim and write everything off as ‘sexist‘.

I was going to call you incredibly ignorant but then you would report me as you seem to enjoy doing so instead I will call your views ignorant. Believe it or not, men are victimized! Some more than others and if you weren’t so reluctant to read up, you’d realise that too.

Also, girth the balance has been readdressed- women have as many rights (though arguably more) than men have. Another thing you would know if you bothered to read up on the subject.

GiRTh
15-01-2008, 03:37 PM
Of course men are victims but I dont like the way some people are constantly trying to prove it. What exactly is the problem? Have you been victimised? Then what is your issue with the sexual assault law being biased toward women. Statisitically women are sexually abused more than men.

The OP is an extremely biased statement that is built around a few carefully selected cases. I could post hundreds example that counter its claims but I dont see the point. If you honestly feel men are being marginalised in this world then you need a reality check.

All the evidence Ron stated shows how men are victimized.

I know you don’t want to read them so I will give you an example. I am not clear on the uk funding but in the US, Breast cancer is federally funded 14 times higher than prostate cancer. But aren’t both diseases lethal and don’t both sexes pay taxes?! In fact, prostate cancer accounts for 37% of all cancers but recieves only 5% of federal research funding.

No, I have not got prostate cancer so by your definition that means I am not a victim but you are missing the point. What if I did get prostate cancer, what if you did? Would you be happy knowing that more is spent on regarding the health of women than of men?!

This is just one of many examples. If you are truly interested in seeing how men are victimized, do your own research.

To be honest, if I had prostrate cancer I would be happy to have it treated. I certainly wouldn't be trying to claim things were biased against me. The two causes are both worthy causes. It would be nice if both received equal funding but to claim that the increased funding given to breat cancer is an attempt to marginalised men. It's ludicrous.

It is not intentional and I never claimed it was. Breast cancer is just what is hyped by the feminised media and ends up getting the most funding.

You say you'd be happy to be treated- yes of course, but wouldn't you be happier if the funding was equal as it should be (because it accounts for 37% of all cancers)? So then you would know you were getting the most up to date, relevant and advanced treatment possible and would have a better chance of recovery as a result. You'd be mad to say you didn't want the best treatment possible!

GiRTh
15-01-2008, 04:59 PM
The funding may not be equal for 101 rerason. All of which caould be valid. My point is that at the frist sign of any bias some people immediately claim discrimination. Thats why I cant take them seriously.

I could go on, but you get my point.

Also, women were never oppressed, you all need to read Glenn Sacks, Angry Harry, Warren Farrell and Marc Rudov (online and offline reading material).

Lol, feminism is a sham, and each and every one of you have fallen for it.

I am the FIRST person here to tell you the TRUTH, Lol, insanity :mad:

Do you know I find the fact that you are dismissive of the fact that women have ever been oppressed as offensive. I also find the fact that you appear to be-little assualts on women, cancers etc as unimportant. Men should have equal rights I totally agree but it is not a competition about who is the most oppressed. Surely we should be looking at ways to gain equality rather than making comparisons about who's assualt is the worst :bored: it seems wrong on every level.

We are all people with needs and should all expect to be treated as individuals with individual needs. I am sure if someone could be bothered to dig around enough they would find plenty of claims to refute the ones you make.

I am not sure that I agree women have ever been protected in the sense that you put it across.

In the UK women did not used to be able to refuse to live with an abusive partner, they were not allowed any political rights, could not lay charges against an abusive partner, were not even allowed to keep money they earned themselves (changed in 1870) and it is in many ways thanks to "feminists" that this has all changed and women are now almost afforded equality with their male counter parts. One issue still in need of address is wages, women still generally recieve less pay for work than men in the UK.

I agree that if a man is sexually assaulted it should carry equal weight with police, courts etc as a womans.

Some interesting facts can be found here http://www.rapecrisis.org.uk/law.html#Law%20–%20existing%20and%20proposed%20cha nges this shows on average only 20% of reported rapes actually make it to court! so not a huge issue to redress here. The main issue is that men do not report sexual assaults. They fail to do so for a number of reasons and until they do regularly report them then figures will always be low for prosecutions.

you might want to look at this historical site

http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/womensrights.htm

this site lists some of the things I mentioned and when the laws were changed.

You say that women were allowed the vote, but that was only land owners and not a true representative of the population. The majority of every day women were unable to vote. You were also unlikely to see a female politician

Women were "expected" to stay at home and look after the children and house, they were often not given the opportunity to work, the ones that did earn a little had to hand it over to their husband thus taking away their own rights to decision make with regards to finance.

You talk about the pay gap "myth" and give examples of the median wages etc but in the uk this is the case, information I found says different to your thoughts on the matter.

What is the gender pay gap?

The median gender pay gap has reduced from 17.4% in 1997 to 12.6% in 2007. The mean figure has fallen from 20.7% to 17.2% in the same period.

Median part-time gender pay gap has remained fairly static and has reduced from 43.5% in 1997 to 39.1% in 2007. The mean figure for 2007 is 35.6%, compared with 41.9% in 1997.

So yes it is coming down but there are still gaps in certain sectors.

Now you make a sweeping statement about testicular assaults on men being worse than rape for a women! it just isnt a competition, it is a terrible experience for anyone to go through. The after effects of a sexual assualt go on and on for years yet you choose to try and make the rape of a woman sound less important or have less impact . That has to be the single most idiotic statement I have ever read. You can spew your facts at us till the cows come home but by your narrow minded statements you negate your serious participation in this discussion now.

MrLuv, you have hardly contributed to any of the threads I have made, nor have you offered anything that remotely resembles an intelligent post. So to question my own intellect is rather rich, isn't it.

Further, like I have already told you, if you insult someone AS WELL AS providing an argument, then there is little wrong with this. As long as substance can be found within the arguments, then this is legitimate. If ONLY insults are used then this is purely ad hominem.

However, you will find I legitimise my arguments here, so again: your so called argument falls very, very flat indeed.

** The admins here would rather I didn't use insults, so I am holding back, but the temptation is, of course, always there. I'm not happy about it (because I believe in free speech) but I will go along with it as I literally have no control.

How I wish these forums were left alone, eliminating any form of authoritarian control over speech.

But that's a whole other topic.

In your opinion of course. I am used to having an open and constructive discussion about subject matter on here with other members. You say you have told me that "if you insult someone AS WELL AS providing an argument, then there is little wrong with this". Again, in your opinion. I actually find it quite offensive. You come across to me as if you want to cause conflict and friction in your threads. But that is just my opinion too.

Your posting style seems familiar to me also. Were you previously a member under a different name on this forum?

I cant believe this thread is still going. The OP made statments based on a few carefull selected stats and expects every one to agree. If they dont then they're called an idiot.

The OP has challenged me to provide proof. Why? Does he honestly think I cant provide proof. Therein lies the ignorance of many of his claims.

Does the OP honestly think that men are more opressed than women. Honestly? Truly? I dont doubt the validity of many of his arguments but the title of this thread speaks for itself. It's a biased ill informed statement. No men are not opressed more than women.

If this is true, then why can I not find ONE interesting thread you have participated in when I scanned your Member Posts?

If you are going to make such bold assertions, then, Luvs, you yourself are going to have to legitimise them.

Therefore, you have EVERYTHING to prove if you make such statements.

The OP used the word 'oppressed' in the title of the thread. Dictionary.com defines oppression as 'The exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner.' Thus I'm only going to concentrate on the areas where men are being treated in a burdensome, cruel or unjust manner. Hence, the example that the OP gave of more money being spent on Breast cancer than prostrate cancer can hardly be described as oppressive.

Acording to Wikipedia the following countires do not allow women to vote - Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE. Men can vote but women are not considered substantial enough citizens to be given the vote.

I found it a little harder to get figures on Male spousal abuse and male sexual assault but I'll keep trying. So just by looking up a few general websites I have found examples of female oppression at the hands of men.

Matt10k
16-01-2008, 03:33 PM
The dictionary also defines sexism as: "Discrimination based on gender, especially discrimination against women." Why is it more sexist if a man does it?!

Still, I thought it was me that talked with you about cancer rates? I am not the OP.

I believe the OP means the uk or other westernised countries in terms of how men/ women are treated and the fact that we have for the most part eqaulity.

I agree women don't have equality in some other countries (particularly saudi arabia) and other middle eastern countries. This annoys me considerably and if you would like to talk about how much women are oppressed there, start a topic and I would happily talk about it with you as it disgusts me.

How do you know that the OP meant oppression in the West? HE doesn't say so in the title and when I challenged him on the title he stuck by his guns. Maybe he needs to explain exactly who feels is being opressed. Is it Western males or Western Wasp males or males in general? Who?

Well for the record, all my points are concerning western males. By this I mean countries such as the uk, US, Germany, france, etc... I would never argue women in certain middle eastern countries, amoungst others- perhaps china being a good example, had equality because I don't believe this for a second.

I am not sure if the OP means men in general or just western men. I'm not going to speak or argue for him!

A quote for you:

"A Pakistani minister and woman's activist has been shot dead by an Islamic extremist for refusing to wear the veil. Zilla Huma Usman, the minister for social welfare in Punjab province and an ally of President Pervez Musharraf, was killed as she was about to deliver a speech to dozens of party activists, by a "fanatic", who believed that she was dressed inappropriately and that women should not be involved in politics, officials said.

Mrs Usman, 35, was wearing the shalwar kameez worn by many professional women in Pakistan, but did not cover her head."

Well what is your definition of a western woman? Just so I am clear.

Oh, and I almost forgot, the example you highlighted was not due to a bias in the legal system but was a vigilante attack.

In my own disbelief at your ignorance, I ALMOST forgot to make that very important point.

It was a vigilante attack, yes, but in places such as Iran (for example) it is enforced and a females dress code is actually part of the law.

Are you serious? :laugh2:

I shall humour you nonetheless: the West (as in Western World) consists of the UK (where I am from), US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc... simply put: developed countries where the government is non-limited, and where feminist influence discriminates against men.

I just wanted to be clear before you changed what you meant. You didn't exactly make yourself clear in your first post now did you?

To move on.....

Ok. What about the hundreds, if not thousands, of women who are murdered by their families each year in the name of family "honour."

FYI reports submitted to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights show that honour killings have occurred in Bangladesh, Great Britain, Brazil, Ecuador, Egypt, India, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Pakistan, Morocco, Sweden, Turkey, and Uganda.

But if you REALLY want me to counterclaim what you have said, perhaps you would find it interesting to know that in Muslims states, male circumcision is the norm, thereby infringing considerably on the male sexual organs, without his explicit consent.

Further, in Muslims states, men are insructed to grow facial hair and to also dress in a modest manner (i.e. the covering of the body in robes or heavy clothing, plus hats).

But Luvs, let us keep on track. You may enjoy steering the conversation off-course, but that is not my desire.

I am quite aware of this, but this isn't what is under discussion. The subject in ahnd was "female oppression". I do not refute your above statement. And you say I am trying to steer the conversation off course.

As for being a former member, I was just curious as your posting style is so similar to theirs. They even posted with CAPITALS mid scentence to make a point on certain words.

You are talking b0llocks now. My reply was to your statement that "women are not oppressed" and you change it to "men are more oppressed than women". Yes I know this is the topic of this thread, but that is not what I referred to. Read back on my posts. That is not the point I replied to. You also seem to think you know myself better than I do by posting such comments as "It is clear you are not" when I state I am aware of matters. And you say that I am deliberately trying to steer the subject off course, say that I don't read very much and imply that I am 3 years old. What stupid comments. You claim you are 21. Isn't about time you started acting it and being less childish?

Says it all really. You have clearly shown that that is your intent from your very first post. I think the term is known as "troll". You try to change my answers into something that they are not, and change your statements as you go along. This has also been pointed out to me by other members. And as you are clearly getting a kick out of this, I think my best option is just to ignore you.

You can rejoice in your well earned glory, for I do not want to debate with someone so obtuse as you. I am sure this will give you great satisfaction as you will think that you have "won" the (and I refer to it loosely) "debate" in hand.

People like you are never open to anybody elses comments, and just disregard anything anybody else has to say. You are not interested in a discussion on matters. Your aim is just to get your point accross and you are always 100% right, which shows in the plain ordacity of some of your comments. You have made it quite clear in many threads that your intention is to cause conflict, and you obviously get off on that.

Maybe a shrink would help?

It all boils down to the fact that men are seen as the stronger sex.

Thats all there is to it.

If people on here are that bad fools, then why do you stay here?

As for someone kicking you in the balls having a worse consequence than assault, then thats where your whole argument falls apart for me.

Believe it or not, the intent has always been to inform! And to inform via facts!

The most infuriating aspect for me is the fact that I am right, yet I am surrounded by fools.

And I really am not exaggerrating when I make that claim either.

(You will focus on the ''emotional'' aspect of this thread, yet you will ignore the facts. Therin lies your fundamental problem).

If a forum infuriates you, then you need to get out
