What is Patriarchy?

My mistake, I thought both of the men who's picture she tweeted had been fired, and it was them who I was referring to, not Richards herself. My point is that most people would not consider joking about forking code and dongles to the guy standing next to you at a tech conference to be grounds for discipline, let alone termination, and that Richards created the entire situation by over reacting and blowing everything up on twitter. I was asking LKL to clarify if she thought that what happened was just and right and appropriate, as she was implying that she thought it was in her response to another poster.

No, you go charging around the battlefield with other 20-lb objects; you go charging over hill and dale with a baby to find grub. The question wasn't about attitude; it was about physical ability to carry weight.


Valid.
Here are a few more links, some more scientific than others, but all better than youtube:

anecdotally, I've heard that women used to be required to do more sit-ups than men because of their relatively lower center of gravity; everything I've found on google says that the requirement is now equal. Something that *doesn't* sit well with me is that women are allowed to have slower run times than men; especially in the longer distances, they should be the same.
Also fwiw, I saw several articles chalking the pull-up difference to the greater percentages of body fat naturally carried by women. Great if you're starving, but that's not all that common in combat afaIk.


Another anecdote: the story I heard behind this was that the men got too hot under the collar when the Sabras got shot, back when Israel actually tried what you suggest a couple of years {edit: decades} ago. Ie, not that the women couldn't hack it, but that the men overreacted to seeing women die in combat.

But it does explain why you don't see a lot of women in Navy Seal units or Special Forces, et. all.

No, actually, I don't. However, I take issue to the supposition that the men were blameless and that Richards' actions "got them fired."

Right, I'll have a look through that, but probably not until tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to produce some decent evidence.

Outlines some radical ideas concerning responsibility for pregnancy and childbirth and the lack of options and rights open to men with respect to controlling their fertility. Looks at how the lack of choice available to men leads directly to family breakdown.

Dr. Helen Smith joins Steve to discuss her new book, "MEN ON STRIKE WHY MEN ARE BOYCOTTING MARRIAGE, FATHERHOOD, AND THE AMERICAN DREAM - AND WHY IT MATTERS," on how American society has become anti-male and men are sensing the backlash and both consciously and unconsciously going "on strike."

On the increasing prevalence of false accusations made by women against men in the areas of rape, domestic violence and child sexual abuse. Looks at the tragic consequences for men as their lives are destroyed by lying women, with many even driven to suicide by the false allegations.

This film is part of a Bitesize series of short clips that looks at individual elements of Feminism, Equality and Misandry in society.

@ sephardic-male.

If you intend to actually make any *statements* in this thread, then please do so.

Simply posting countless YouTube videos without explaining relevance to the thread or adding any meaningful summaries (not just copy/paste of video descriptions on YouTube) is tantamount to spamming.

Patriarchy is the illuminati and a secret society ruled by men! They do what it takes to keep women down and their main headquarters is in area 51 along with the aliens!

Thread should be locked because OP doesn't respond to comments, just bumps the thread with irrelevant videos.

Feminist Censorship using false allegations and notice the label "hate group" when you don't agree with feminists

http://www.avoiceformen.com/allnews/uni ... s-program/

Administration officials at the University of South Australia have essentially pulled the plug on the Male Studies initiative at that school, effectively bringing years of academic preparation to a sudden halt. The school made the decision after a flurry of false allegations were made by journalist Tory Shepherd in the online magazine Adelaide Now.

Shepherd falsely reported that the Male Studies group had ties to “hate groups,” one of them being A Voice for men. Her article, which misleadingly suggested a connection between the Male Studies group and the A Voice for Men website, also claimed that the A Voice for Men organization had been declared a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. That claim is false. Indeed, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Arthur Goldwag made public statements expressing the fact that no such designation about A Voice for Men had ever been made.

While it's true that they didn't label the men's rights movement a hate movement. They highlighted the hate and the promotion of illegal activity within the movement and for that there is ample evidence. In this, they document the more violent aspects of the ideology (such as the harrassment campaigns, domestic terrorism, self-immolation and mass shootings) and how the mainstream MRM encourages it:

The SPLC has conducted some very in depth and well researched studies that refute many of the MRA movement's biggest claims with actual statistical data (something the OP has difficulty with):

and here's a handy breakdown on many of the major MRA sites/organizations and some of the ridiculous stuff they've said:

I suspect most of you guys will find these studies more credible and easier to verify than some random angry dudes on youtube.

Sephardic male, even when you provide a link, you need to use quotation marks (" ") or a quote block when you cut and paste from someone else's writing. Otherwise, it looks like you're either trying to claim credit for words that aren't yours (ie, plagiarizing), or you're trying to get around the rules against spamming without adding your own content.

Looked through the links, and it certainly seems as if women have some pretty awesome gymnastic abilities, but as to whether or not this translates into combat effectiveness? A much different question. To be honest, I think that a rigorous, peer-reviewed study should be done on this to put the question to rest once and for all, if some clever scientist could figure out the right experiments to perform.

I think that it probably really depends on the type of combat, the gear required, etc.
