I give it a few months before people start to complain about it "drawing funds from women's shelters" or something similar given that it's in Sweden. If it works it will restore some of my faith in their government, since it will surpass my expectations.

reminds me of the feminists in Britain protesting at the Suffragette premier because the government there cut funding to DV shelters that wouldn't take in men.

I expect similar results.

Couldn't be racial profiling. Nope, it was because she had a pathological hatred of men obviously.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Actually, part of the fear of black men is because they're stereotyped as more masculine than other men. Many of the problems men have compared to women (such as longer prison sentences, or being more likely to be thought of as guilty or aggressors) are problems that black men have more of compared to white men.

I should probably put some snark in at the end here, but I can't think of any good ones, so you'll have to think of your own.

"The only time anyone ever tells a guy to be a man, is when they are trying to convince him to do something that is not in his best interest."

Quote of the year there in the MRM reddit.

That ones from the thread where a guy is scared to report that he was raped because he threw some punches to try and stop it, by the way.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Good find with that one. It's sad but true, a lot of guys are pretty vulnerable to being shamed, especially if they're used to being proud all the time. They're the kind of guys that don't know how to handle failure, not in that regard anyways.

It's also worth noting that these types of guys are usually living their lives according to someone elses interests. There's plenty of serfs proud of their pious toil and such.

I would say that choosing not to report rape is quite emasculating.

I don't really believe in emasculation as a concept. It might be shaming, give a sense of weakness, etc. I understand men might think they are emasculated, but that's voodoo bullshit. As soon as a man learns to decouple his sense of masculinity from other peoples validation, it doesn't work anymore. But those are separate concepts. In addition, it's worth noting that he seems primarily concerned with the practical effects of reporting the incident, and seems worried he'll be charged an she wont.

"Recognition of male victims of rape"
Man the hell up and deal with it. If you're a MAN and not some effeminate gayboi wearing a skirt then you have no reason or right to complain about rape.
That's not to say I don't agree with recognizing the other subjects listed.

I'll bite, just because.

You don't think going through the judicial process and ensuring justice is done is a part of "dealing" with it?
That attempting to ensure your rapist doesn't victimize anybody else is "dealing" with it?
That not hiding from what happened and admitting it frankly and openly is "dealing" with it?

On what basis do you think they have no reason or right to complain?

it doesn't seem terribly hard to make men do what you want when you tap into their sense of purpose.

You'd be surprised. Externalizing an internal conflict is pretty common. We've seen a lot of it on the reddit.

It's the good old "GAYS ARE SINNERS WHO WANT EVERYONE TO GIVE IN TO THEIR GAY IMPULSES!"
"...What gay impulses?"

Shit.

Here, its more "I'm a bigger man for not saying anything. It's all i've got."

You're not convinced there needs to be an entire separate movement to help male victims of domestic abuse/rape? Do you hold the same beliefs about female victims of domestic abuse/rape, or is it only the male victims' that are not important enough to warrant their own movement?
