but it's her responsibility to assuage the egos of men on DU? Anyone can see it's a quote from an article. How many publications or blogs write about DU males?Does the person posting about teachers need to make clear the article isn't about DU teachers? Does the person posting about Christian fundamentalists need to assuage the egos of DU Christians? Or is it just "DU males" who are particularly vulnerable? Seems to me you greatly underestimate the men on this site. From what I observe, the majority reads threads like these without imaging they are some sort of assault on their manhood. The only question is why you can't. Why would you assume a reference to MRA types is about you?

It's unfair if the man has been a primary caregiver Gormy Cuss Mar 2014 #40

The general invisibility of male victims of rape and domestic violence, for example Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #50

You know what that makes me think of? Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #51

Um, you must have me confused with someone else Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #53

This is a fake argument promoted by the men's "rights" groups... Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #54

So are you disputing that men get raped Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #55

I'm not disputing it. Don't need to. Michael Kimmel has already debunked it. Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #56

OK, some questions then Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #57

Thanks for the PSA, but Old and In the Way Feb 2014 #2

I missed the mention of DU males in the OP? Starry Messenger Feb 2014 #4

did you mention that this was, in no way, a slam of DU males? Old and In the Way Feb 2014 #5

I'm not the OP, but why should she? Starry Messenger Feb 2014 #6

Easy answer. Old and In the Way Feb 2014 #7

TL;DR DeSwiss Mar 2014 #23

Men ARE in trouble in one aspect-education. ErikJ Mar 2014 #24

Your graph comes from a blogger for a RW think tank. LeftyMom Mar 2014 #27

Youre right. Got it from Google images. But others confirm it. ErikJ Mar 2014 #31

And now you're sourcing images from a blogger who posts on an anti-woman hate site. LeftyMom Mar 2014 #33

I just get them from google images. But they were apparently sourced from ErikJ Mar 2014 #34

Knock it off. The problem isn't that you're a dude, it's that you're posting RW and MRA bullshit. LeftyMom Mar 2014 #35

I was aware of this trend 10 years ago. Nothing new. Started in the 1980's. ErikJ Mar 2014 #36

And yet, with all that extra education, women still make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. Squinch Mar 2014 #41

That can't possibly be the reason women are more likely to pursue education, LeftyMom Mar 2014 #45

^^^^^^^^This! Squinch Mar 2014 #46

Instead of repeating myself, I'll just refer you to my post Starry Messenger Mar 2014 #39

I'm not sure how that is responsive to the violent and abusive threats Starry Messenger Mar 2014 #32

It's not.... Violet_Crumble Mar 2014 #37

No, it's a comment on how oppressed men are BainsBane Mar 2014 #38

Wow, so much anger and hate. Lunacee_2013 Mar 2014 #62
