Individuals with a cervix are now recommended to start cervical cancers screening at 25 and continue through age 65, with HPV testing every five years as the preferred method of testing, according to a new guideline released by the American Cancer Society

Lol. cnn now calling women, "individuals with a cervix"
Not a cult.

- To be fair to CNN, they are just quoting exactly what the original article says
https://acsjournals.…yuekit - @mono, so why not just say 'women with a cervix' -- even less 'complicated' derpGnash
- I read this as an attempt to include trans-men with cervixes rather than not exclude trans-women without cervixes.
Wrap your head around that one!deadsperm - @Gnash, I don't know, I don't even care. It's really not my business, but a cervix is a cervix, and it can get cancer.monospaced

I watched this last night. Apparently some feminists hate it so much they had it banned from Melbourne – because they assumed it was against feminism and made to support the so-called 'privileged' male. Hmmm! Fascinating documentary though.

Anyone with a strong understanding of biology / human nature knows that a woman that goes to work and gets paid in cash, is akin to a man going to work and being paid in sex.
Women making as much as men is just not equal.

can you provide any link?GeorgesII - it wasn't a restraining order -- it was a voluntary peace bond. I can go to tomorrow and get a peace bond against Georges, if I wantGnash

oops...
When Google conducted a study recently to determine whether the company was underpaying women and members of minority groups, it found, to the surprise of just about everyone, that men were paid less money than women for doing similar work.

You hate women.
:PPonyBoy - headline isn't really reflective of the rest of the article, which is about inaccessibility to appropriate pay grades for women. Interesting though.Fax_Benson
- Google do seem to be making a pig's ear of it. Maybe because of all the hysteria on either sideFax_Benson
- pay grades have been a mess at every place i've worked that had them. They were never allocated based on skill but on how badly the company wanted the new hireGnash
- Scarcity is also a factor. My place is paying ridiculous amounts for devs.

Domestic violence against men
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do…^ Whether the content is true or not, it seems like there isn't a lot of research regarding it so I assume there isn't much money in the field.
This blog post references some articles-
http://www.aeesq.com/2017/03/23/…There are few paralel articles in different languages, also regarding more general violence against men

- an argument I'm accused of abuse.mugwart
- the documentray redpill goes into this well. 1 in 3 women suffer domestic but 1 in 4 men do.mugwart
- memories are flushing out! i can vouch that I experiences a bit of the report. She would drink & try to start a fight. As a man you can not report this.mugwart
- Your left with two possibilities - one not hit back & suffer in silence & degrade yourself or two fight back and be a cunt and get reported for domestic...mugwart
- I'm sorry to hear. Shit is fucked up. Also I assume shelters for men are scarce to non-existingsofas
- there is only one in America. Don't think anything here (UK).mugwart
- I didn't read this but it seems relevant
http://dvturningpoin…sofas - Great that research (though limited) is being done on this. I feel it is a silent paramedic.mugwart
- Might be tin hat, but I think it's being silenced on purposesofas
- ^ agreed. Then again what is not tin hat these days.

"Why Women DESTROY NATIONS * / CIVILIZATIONS - and other UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS"

I wholeheartedly support gender equality. I also wholeheartedly hate the current political climate in that area. It's judgmental, unconstructive and hystrical. PC culture can actually completely
undermine the cuse, IMO.

my argument about georges post is that it's GOOD for men and women to talk openly about what they want and don't want, and it's even more important for teens who are more likely to go along with something they're really not comfortable with, or to push their partner into something they're not ready for-- even if there's not the kind of violent intent that a rapist has.
I'm not a woman (newsflash), but for MANY women their first sexual experiences (not necessarily intercourse, but touching, etc.) were under pressure from a young man who was acting perhaps too agressively. It's not rape, but it's not complete consent either.
It's admittedly to garner or give consent when you're a crazy hormonal teenager who has urges but also fears and lots of conflicting feelings. Teaching affirmative consent encourages partners to look for the other to be really ready, and not pushing them beyond what they're honestly desiring and prepared for.

Our culture of shaming everyone who makes a public mistake is a serious problem that we need get past as a global society. Shaming clouds the issues and belittles the efforts of causes such as feminism, and it creates an "us vs them" mentality that is not productive.
For example, the reason this Tim Hunt scientist resigns is because of public shaming and ridicule, not because of feminism. Sure, it is feminists doing a lot of the shaming, but feminism itself is not the CAUSE of the shaming. If shaming was coming ONLY from feminists, then we could make that argument. But it's not. We see shaming all over the the internet for every issue (e.g. race, sexism, religion, etc). Find any controversial issue and you can find people shaming others over it.
The problem is this: now people like Georges can say 'Look, feminism causes scientists to quit, therefore feminism is bad!' which simply isn't true. Many feminists would argue that the man shouldn't be shamed (but you won't hear those voices, because they are drowned out by the shame people screaming.)
This one particular example has created a "feminism vs science" war. The two things have nothing to do with each other.
Let's also not forget that we had an OLD MAN say one thing that was very sexist. WHAT A SHOCKER. AN OLD MAN IS SEXIST! OH MY GOD! NOW I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING! STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WATCH THIS VIDEO AND SHARE IT BECAUSE YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES.
Tim Hunt is 72. Find any group of white men over 70 and you'll find that they're basically all full of outdated ideas. They'll be a bunch of sexist, racist, homophobes, probably. They're from a different time. This doesn't excuse their behaviour, but maybe we can all calm down about something that isn't really a problem. Tim Hunt at 72 is not the spokesperson for men, nor professors, nor scientists, nor anybody. Just one sexist old man who has probably had tenure for 30 years and nobody ever corrects him. He makes a bad joke on TV and the world falls apart.
My point is this: if we want to grow as a global community and make great things and all that crap, we need to stop shaming everyone. We could cut Tim Hunt some slack. All he really needs is to be explained why he's wrong in a calm way. And if he won't back down, then maybe he can't be a professor anymore. No big deal, we all move on. And we could also take it easy on some of these young feminists who hold up stupid signs. Sure, they might have some dumb ideas on their signs, but a lot of them are teenagers or early 20s. I know I had some pretty stupid views on the world at that age.
These shame wars that cloud the issue also create a situation where people are on twitter threatening to kill and maim and rape a woman who spoke out against sexism in the video game industry or movie industry or basically wherever. Like, take it easy, you fucking psychos. You are proving why we need feminism. Trust me, if anyone of us got 500 messages on the internet from strangers publicly threatening to kill you and saying they know where you live, you'd feel a tiny bit worried going out of your house at night.
Then these psychos say they have freedom of speech and should be allowed to say whatever they want. So, the woman writes a blog article about equality/sexism, and you threaten to kill her for it. And you say that feminists are the problem? Wake up. It's everybody.
And, before you start posting a bunch of jpgs of those times when feminists posted on tumblr threatening to cut someones dick off or whatever, please keep in mind that I'm saying that BOTH SIDES need to chill the fuck out.
