outside of that, i don't know man

'Zach was arrested last winter after having sex with a girl he met on the dating app “Hot or Not,” who claimed she was 17. But she admitted to police that was a lie. She was really 14.

If he had known she was so young, Zach said, he never would have met her.

“I wouldn't even have gone to her house, like I literally wouldn't have gone to her house at all,” he said.

As a convicted sex offender, the terms of Zach’s probation are incredibly strict. For the next five years, he is forbidden from owning a smart phone or using the Internet. He is not allowed to talk to anyone under age 17, other than immediate family. He is banned from going to any establishment that serves alcohol and he has to be home before 8 p.m. every night.

“They make me out to be a monster,” Zach said. “I can't even look at life regularly.”

His parents say his punishment is cruel and unusual, and they are waging a very public fight, even setting up a Facebook page, hoping to rally support for their son.

Zach graduated high school just last year. Like many teens, he turned to his smart phone to find a date one night. He says he was on the dating app “Hot or Not” for about a week when he started talking to the 14-year-old.

…

“[She] was actually the first person I had met up with or anything from that,” Zach said. “I had asked her when we were messaging. I said, ‘How old are you?’ And then she had told me 17… I just got out of high school. So it's two years difference. I didn't think that was a big deal or anything.”'

They've made an app to literally record your consent to having sex with another person. It records a 20 second clip where you name the person you want to sleep with and you have to clearly say "yes" or the recording deletes itself.

The answer to the terrible affirmative consent laws

http://www.veteransinc.org/about-us/statistics/

Number of veterans in the U.S. as of 2014: approximately 22.5 million2

Increasing numbers of returning military personnel: according to the Mass. Dept. of Veterans’ Services, approximately 31,000 service members have returned to the Commonwealth since Sept. 11, 2001.

Between 529,000 and 840,000 veterans are homeless at some time during the year.2

On any given night, more than 300,000 veterans are living on the streets or in shelters in the U.S.

Approx. 33% of homeless males in the U.S. are veterans.2

Veterans are twice as likely as other Americans to become chronically homeless.2

Veterans represent 11% of the adult civilian population, but 26% of the homeless population, according to the Homeless Research Institute (2007).

Veterans are more at risk of becoming homeless than non-veterans

The number of homeless Vietnam-era veterans, male and female, is greater than the number of soldiers who died during the war.1

Primary causes of homelessness among veterans are:

Lack of income due to limited education and lack of transferable skills from military to civilian life (especially true of younger veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan)

Combat-related physical health issues and disabilities

Combat-related mental health issues and disabilities

Substance abuse problems that interfere with job retention

Weak social networks due to problems adjusting to civilian life

'America leads the industrialized world in fatherlessness.

Right now, around 41 percent of children are born to single mothers.

For women under 30, who bear two-thirds of all children, that rate is 53 percent.

Many unmarried women are cohabiting with partners at the outset of their children’s births, but those couplings disintegrate at twice the rate of marriages.

In total, about one-third of all children are raised in father-absent homes.

By some estimates, this means more kids are growing up with televisions in their bedroom than with both of their biological parents.

Boys are especially affected by this trend. Without positive and consistent male role models, society misses out on much of their constructive potential.'

To see where men can receive help with regards to this issue is disgusting. It doesn't include all states and often doesn't include shelters and a lot isn't even through state many are church based. Or off chutes of womens help lines that will also help men. Ridiculous that they have to use wording like "heard of to help men" "its known they've helped some men".

What I have so far.

Titled "Child at Heart":

Show Sarah Butts and her confession that her 8 year old cousin gave her an erection. Surrounding panels could have several feminists who have shown their open support of Butts even in spite of her being outed in the Breitbart article. http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/09/11/leading-gamergate-critic-sarah-nyberg-claimed-to-be-a-pedophile-apologised-for-white-nationalism/

One of the feminists could be the father (titled: Protective Parent) who offered a pic of his young daughter to "cheer her up".

Perhaps show some of the self identified feminists like CH Summers (titled: Based Mom) defying the myth of Patriarchy Theory or the Wage Gap and how they are treated by other feminists. Bonus points show male feminists showing their misogynistic nature in their hostility to these women who have personal integrity.

jesus fuck that guy is sad

this is a great injustice, we must re-encourage this man

>>132

what would you suggest?

so fucking sad

>>84

dear god, i hope not

and why does marriam webster define feminism as

organized activity in support of women's rights and interests

I am glad to see detractors of the feminist ideology whenever they are found

The unfortunate thing about willful ignorance these days is that it isn't just people being lazy. That is way too reductionist to think on those terms. The biggest things playing a role in how people think these days is 1. education and 2. propaganda

Both are essentially brainwashing people into being non-thinkers. Everything is emotion based. Schools, under the guise of a "better" non-offensive environment, prey upon happy feels. There is no more competition, it makes people feel bad, but it reduces any sense of challenge (this effects men/boys the most because, by nature, are competitive - no wonder boys are starting to test waaay low these days). Propaganda in media also deals with emotion, but it is a tendency towards fear/anxiety in order to change our minds, get up to approve something/someone, or disapprove of something.

Creating this environment where people are catering to emotion first is making people not think, at all. Emotion doesn't happen in the front of the brain where higher reasoning would take place it happens in the older parts towards the back of the brain. Primal instinct with no independent thought.

I also added a vidya of Charlotte Iserbyt in the vidya thread, also. She details a lot of the education system. She speaks about it in terms of american education, but canada and other countries have adopted the methods as well.

To prove my point on propaganda being everywhere i recommend studying Edward Bernay. He founded public relations (added vidya to show why he calls it public relations rather then propaganda)

I could have expressed myself better when I was venting about the guy in an earlier post. He was unwilling to inform himself of the SJW issue even though it was causing a split in his party, yet called himself “objective”. I still think it is something to call out when I see it. But it is important not to regard it purely as laziness. It is more like learned helplessness.

I was home-schooled for most of high school and then took a one day test to acquire a high school diploma so I could go onto college. I got my diploma and went to college and saw something that made little sense to me at the time but the more I learn about how schooling works and it's stated objectives (by the school founders but no longer admitted by the public school administrators of today) the more it makes sense.

I observed a pattern with many fellow college students. Many people who went from public school to college were often unwilling to engage the teacher in conversation in several classes. Even though the tePost too long. Click here to view the full text.
