sexism issues

So a relatively simple question with what is probably a nor so simple answer. If you are a man and disagree with Abortion, can you express what you think gives you the right to dictate how a woman who is unrelated to you, and not in a relationship with you, should have to deal with her own...

Anyone have a link to the transcript of what Alessandro Strumia actually said that got him kicked out of CERN? Story after story that paraphrase what he supposedly said but no actual quotes or context.

MHQt79Z08os I recommend this video, but I realize that not everyone can watch or prefers another format. If you're unfamiliar with these terms, "walk on girls" were pretty young ladies usually clad in swimwear or a mini dress or something like that who would escort the players out in...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2018/01/22/oxford-university-gives-women-time-pass-exams/ One would have thought that a prestigious university like Oxford would have done research before insulting women with their condescending "can't compete with men" policy change. But no, political...

From here. This type of change had not even occurred to me. Congressman and Postman feel male but somehow freshman doesn't, like mankind doesn't - probably because I have been in those groups. Freshwoman sounds catchy! Are there more terms that we don't think twice about that will be...

Part 24 was getting a bit long, so before it started causing problems, I created this thread. As usual, the break is arbitrary and you are free to quote from the previous part as necessary. It's ridiculous to believe that what a judge declares as factual when actual scientists and experts...

I don't think that particular article was mentioned here, but the contention is by some groups (not backed by data), that sexism in video game make people go sexist in real life (Mrs Sarkeesan conteded so in one video about video trope and female). This is on the same level as "video game...

Only in Texas I guess...... :eye-poppi :rolleyes:

Haven't seen a post about this, so here goes: A bunch of students, faculty and alumni at the University of York sent an open letter to complain about the university marking International Men's Day. I can't do it justice so you might as well read it yourself. Here is the university's response...

I've heard this claim a few times but only really from the modern feminist-type crowd (what you might refer to as SJWs typically) I suspect that it is only this group that feels unwelcome in the atheist/skeptic community and that it is based on their ideas being challenged by the skeptics in...

I'm a bit surprised to see such blatant sexism on TV in 2014. https://hollywoodlife.com/2014/06/27/matt-lauer-mary-barra-interview-general-motors-ceo/ No one would ask a male CEO if he's spending enough time with his children. Besides, what business is it of yours anyway? We are concerned...

Or so says one Demetri Marchessini in his book Women in Trousers: A Rear View (published in 2003 but it seems that only recently has anyone actually read a copy). He also said it was "hostile behaviour" for women to wear trousers rather than skirts and that "women’s legs are essentially sexy"...

What do you think of this article? 7 Ways You're Hurting Your Daughter's Future The 7 ways are: Are these things really harmful to girls? I'm not sure they necessarily are. I'll grant the "to the exclusion of everything else" part of 3, but that's sort of a given for any quality a child...

I recently became a feminist...it took some effort. As a guy, I found a huge barrier was my understanding of the term "patriarchy". It conjures up images of laughing misogynists chomping on cigars and telling the "little woman" to “get back in the kitchen”. Obviously, that wasn’t ME so I felt...

http://www.mallorienasrallah.com/skeptic Penn Jillette posted this on his facebook an hour ago along with the comment "I tweeted this and it's been sent to all the big cheeses at JREF. It's a POV that's been ignored." We love you too Mallorie

Have a look at this old Harry Enfield: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS37SNYjg8w And tell me whether the sketch is chauvinist or feminist, and why. No planet X for this one as it forces a choice. If you think the truth is somewhere in between, you can still come down more on one side than...

http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/07/always_name_names.php "You know, I don't really know how else to explain how this makes me incredibly uncomfortable, but I'll just sort of lay it out that I was a single woman, you know, in a foreign country, at 4 AM, in a hotel elevator, with you...

http://gawker.com/5674353/i-had-a-one+night-stand-with-christine-odonnell The diva of morality and virginity, apparently has a somewhat wild side.... One wonders about her (or any politician in this day and age) that pictures and a story aren't going to emerge...not that it matters really, as...

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/13/new-york-jets-kicks-off-season-facing-harassment-claim/?hpt=T2 ...but...when it was pointed out to her, that there could've been alterior motives, her tune changes... So, is it okay for her to change her feelings on the subject when she was fine with it...

http://www.elpasotimes.com/health/ci_15339021 So who thinks this will raise as big a stink as it did when the girl's vaccine came out? I plan on my son and daughter getting the vaccines--anyone else?

Is there any circumstances in which hitting a woman would be considered acceptable? And by hitting I don't mean just a slap, I mean with a fist.

NPR's Diane Rehm expressed incredulity that Obama would even consider ex Harvard President Summers for a cabinet positon because of his non politically correct comment that, " The shortage of elite female scientists may stem in part from "innate" differences between men and women." ***.."I...

As some of you no doubt know, there's several threads running at the moment on the issue of pregnancy and abortion, and I have been partaking in both. A common theme in these threads is the presentation of one gender or the other in an unrealistically negative light, or alternatively the...

Speaking in Virginia Obama got the audience applauding with a line that would surely be denounced as a dogwhistle sexist smear had it come from a Republican running against a woman: "Lipstick on a pig?" Now you know how it is; lipstick on a pig is a common expression in politics. But coming...

I mentioned to my Politically Correct sister what I called "the catfight" between Nancy Pelosi and Jane Harmon who seem to share a rivalry dating back to high school. My sister told me that the term "catfight" was out of bounds, that it is about political differences, and "not about women." I...
