Personally, I have no problem with equality of sexes. What are your thoughts?

Silent Master
Neither do I, which is why I'm an egalitarian.

Equality is great. The people I see who have a problem with Feminism usually do not understand what the current use of the word means. They believes it's about male oppression and cry out as such.

Yes, they do, and the present US administration truly demonstrates how far we are from equality of the sexes.

Raisen
I'm all for real equality. I believe everyone should sign up for the draft, equality in divorce court, equality in child custody cases, equal pay for equal work, equal social services for all races and sexes, equal treatment in criminal court etc

I don't believe in equality because men don't give birth.

This disgusts me completely and utterly at a point of principle. That you would not only justify the use of racial discrimination but implicate a moral imperative to do so completely disgusts and revolts me.

How dare you call yourself an anti-racist when you consider racist policies an ethical obligation.

Uh... Yea see the thing is... I don't have a problem with "equality of the sexes"

But we're pretty much equals under the law now. So bored feminists have to find shit to do. So they ***** about a bunch of shit that I can't be bothered with, such as the sexism in Mario games. So I don't really identify with them. Because 9 times out of 10 they are taking stances I don't share or just stances on issues I don't care about.

socool8520
I think the sentiment behind things like affirmative action are well intended, but I think the most qualified person should get the nod.

Now if it can be proven that there are racist, sexist, or religious discrimination leading to a person being overlooked, then that should be fixed.

Afro Cheese
I also agree that the most qualified person should get the job. The quota system is stupid. If you want more of X group to get Y job, then invest in helping to make them capable of doing so as the most qualified applicant to that job, Anything less than that is just a shortcut which results in lower standards.

I don't care if you're disadvantaging or advantaging white people on the basis of their identity. Regardless of who it's being done to I consider it wrong, because that's what it means to have a stance founded on principles.

i'm a true feminist.

Women should have to sign up for the draft to vote like men
Women should be punished equally for crimes.
Women should pay for exactly half of everything in marraiges
There should be equal pay for equal work
They should receive equal treatment in divorce court
Men should get equal maternal leave when their wife has a child

I am all for supporting true Feminism, but I draw the line at FemaNAZIISMM.

Emperordmb
What is "true feminism" though. There's really two definitions I see:
Definition of feminism
1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests
Merriam Webster

The former of the two I agree with, at least to the extent that men and women should be equal under the law and have the same opportunities, I find the idea that there should be an equality of outcome between the two groups absurd though. I don't think the name feminist really conveys this message though, which is why I identify as a legal egalitarian.

The latter of the two is an identitarian collectivist movement that seems to push for equality of outcome and is blind to the fact that men and women have equal rights and for the most part have equal social freedoms, and that laughs in the face of any who suggest there are issues men have that should be addressed. And this type of feminism has become one arm of the intersectional social justice movement, and it's absolute cancer.

It should be addressed that both sexes being equal under the law and that neither of the two genders should serve as a barrier to opportunity is a value most people agree with, HOWEVER, just because a person or movement identifies as feminist which people can link with the value of gender equality should not serve as a shield from criticism, and a lot of the criticisms of the modern feminism movement are extremely valid... which is why they mainly come from people who believe the same point of principle expressed in the first definition.

Jokes aside, my view generally fits into line of that presented by DMB.

The issue with the feminist movement currently, the third wave, is that it seems to complain and attack petty non-issues, like where a mans legs are positioned when sitting down. When they do try to address something that has a semblance of a legitimate point - such the lacking number of women in certain fields - they only point it out for comfy high paying jobs and not the more gritty, heavy labour positions with a high injury rate that men tend to dominate.

Furthermore, third wave feminists seem to be attacking their predecessors in the second wave, which basically constitutes to eating their own movement. For example, a lot of third waves feminists were up in arms about a second wave feminist like Germaine Greer for refusing to accept transgender women into the overall feminist movement. Furthermore, the third wave often points fingers at the second wave claiming that it is a racist movement that only looked out for the interests of white women.

Modern third wave feminism doesn't seem to be doing anyone any favours.

Right, partaking in a social equality movement removes you from criticism for discriminative stances.

You seem to have missed my point entirely and in your failure to comprehend it have committed a strawman.

The point is that feminism seems to be eating itself, not that being a part of a particular movement makes you devoid of criticism.

Women in the west have it great, it's time to stop blaming sexism and the patriarchy on their own choices and shortcomings.

Foxsteak
I think the whole atheist movement and FemFreq bullshit was what sparked the whole shit.

Atheist talk about how christianity is dumb, yet they are mostly men who like women. Women were obviously treated differently because they care more about social issues rather than actual science. This was a huge difference and trolls leaped onto it. I mean, lots of comedy is based around gender roles in society, so is literally 90% of all entertainment. Sexuality is a part of human nature and now everything has just been blown out into the open to the point where conservative men just kinda don't bother anymore only for the SJWs to turn on each other.

And then you have Anita Sarkesian. A millenial "gamer" who claims to know anything more than a communications studies course and barely knows anything about humanities or video games (I mean, she doesn't even know who Lara Croft is) and she only got famous because of trolls making fun of her. She's famous for being stupid..... In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she liked Bernie, then leapt on Hillary.

Maybe if the Chrisitianity movement didn't spend centuries helping enforce sexism, there wouldn't have been as big a need for feminism in the first place.

But sure, the sexuality of atheists is the problem here.

Except one of the critiques of their history that Rhaggis mentioned is largely incoherent. The claim that feminism before third wave feminism was somehow racist is completely unfounded, and what they're really complaining about is that feminism in the past didn't place a disproportionate focus on women of color. Basically their critique of feminism comes from the fact that it wasn't a racialized movement in the past and they think it should be one that is racialized now, and I think that's an absurd thing to claim racism over.

Just for clarity's sake, I was saying that the atheist movement, like the science industry, was dominated by men.

The thing is, the third wave aren't merely "recognising the mistakes" of the movement, they are creating them from thin air. As DMB already highlighted, they made the second wave out to be racist with no actual backing for this. They just assumed that since a lot of them were white woman then surely it must be racist, right?

Instead of building off of what the past incarnations of feminism have done they're turning around and spitting on it. While simultaneously conjuring up other stupid bullshit like manspreading or mansplaining to complain about while women in third world countries genuinely suffer from proper sexism.

The classic crusade argument. What makes it even more funny, even putting the fact that is an obviously out of date example, is that the first crusade was called as a Christian retaliation to Muslim aggression in Turkey, Iberia and elsewhere, iirc.

Indeed, and when people do legit use the crusades thing though...it is also all kinds of hilarious. If you need to dip back to the Crusades to find something bad Christians did in comparison to Islam...there is a problem.

On top of that, you really wouldn't have to go back all the way to the crusades to find abhorrent Christian behavior. So it's more just being lazy, shouting "crusades!" is the new "racism!" shout.

Discrimination was absolutely a problem with earlier feminists movements, as it was with literally any social movement ever.

There were many feminists who excluded black women, just as they were many civil rights fighters who excluded black women from their push for equality.

Reasons the commercial says women need not just equal pay, but need to get more than men:

-their underwear is more expensive
-men don't need new outfits for every occasion
-men don't know shoes "make the outfit"
-men don't know the joy of choosing the right shoe

Questions raised in the commercial by the narrator: Should we seriously get paid less than someone who applies body lotion to his face?

Because people who identify as part of the feminist movement use the excuse of "gender equality" to push a bunch of ridiculous or anti-male sexist shit...

Just like the same people who identify as anti-racist, such as Steve Zodiac, that push for things that are blatantly racist through the effect of racial discrimination, or another example of this is the DNC trying to discourage straight white men from applying for a job to make things "more diverse" or the BBC holding special training and positions exclusively open to racial minorities or women, in effect discriminating against white men.

Or the people who identify with the political movement Antifa who are a bunch of violent political ideologues who generally advocate for communism and who are anti-free speech, but people give them a pass because they identify as being against fascism.

You can't throw around a slogan or movement name that you define as a specific principle and use it to excuse the horrendous shit done in the name of the movement.

Rosa Parks was chosen, because the first young woman was a teenage girl who was pregnant out of wedlock.

Political expediency is not hypocrisy, it is realism. The African-American Civil Rights Movement was not necessarily against Communists, homosexuals, or unmarried teenage mothers, but they knew the group to whom they needed to appeal was. That is a minority, who needs the support of the majority if they hope to secure any rights for marginalized peoples, recognizing the reality on the ground. In that situation, they could take the moral high ground and get nowhere with the people they needed to help them, or they could sideline controversial supporters, so they could actually get something done.

There are studies that show that being a Leftist Progressive does actually lower your testosterone. So yeah. Being a Beta Cuck makes you more likely to be a Leftist.

Yep, 270 is the lowest you should have and only one was above it lol. The average is like 500-600. Anyways, this seems appropriate:

If you want to extrapolate from that sample, it could be argued, yes. thumb up

But imho it is still rather small sample to reach definite conclusions.

At the next big debate between a republican and democrat I just want the repub to flat out ask their opponent how many genders they think there are.

Just let them essentially defeat themselves, all you need to do is give their crazy ideas a platform.

Watch as the people who claim to be all about science give you an answer that has nothing to do with it and everything to do with feelings.

^ What I want to see is a political competition where you can not attack your opponent. No BS campaign ads slandering the opposition. No digging up their skeletons. Just debate the issues that will affect our country and prove to the American people why you have the best solutions. I don't think that is too much to ask.

Yes, I'd be okay with running a "gotta run a clean campaign" rule.

This is why I think repubs should just ask them questions and let them defeat themselves just by talking lol. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

"How many genders are there" would just be hilarious. It doesn't actually have a complicated answer, despite what some want to believe.

socool8520
Well, while I think that the whole several genders stance is stupid, I think it is irrelevant to the debate. I want them to strictly talk the big issues. Economy, Education, Immigration, Defense, etc. Prove to me why your plan is the best and I will be impressed. Turn it into a "Yo Momma" debate, and you lose all of my respect.

This could have been your first lady with the talks of "Oh, well you wanted pedo Trump to be president, so why you complaining bro?"

socool8520
I'm not defending her, but I will not overlook the fact that both parties decided that the best way to win was to attack the other person instead of explaining their stances and elaborating on how they would achieve their campaign promises. That is what I take issue with regardless of who is doing it.

On the topic:

When you see one feminist go after another feminist as an anti-feminist for a simple disagreement on child support payouts, where one insists something that makes fathers look bad and the other insists she works in that field and things aren't nearly that bad, and that's ALL they disagree about, you start to wonder if the feminism = fascism..

Bernie: I agree with everything Hillary has said, but let us go further and promise the moon on a stick
Trump: I will say things to piss off Hillary
Hillary: I'm still here *cough* you know? I'm just as good as Obama.....

I would be more willing to get behind the movement if they were trying to aid women's issues in other countries where women truly are oppressed, rather than bitching about sexist AC or some craziness like that.

I disagree about its relevancy. It's not just about genders. Remember, a common complaint is "conservatives hate science! blah blah climate change!".

It's important to demonstrate if they overall support science or if they only do when it benefits them and when they can whine about Trump.

Someone screaming "but science!" about climate change and then saying "yeah, 63 genders exist"...I would think you would agree such a person shouldn't be taken seriously.

They've made science into a religion now. They think you can *believe* in science. Take that in for a second lol. It's like a religion to them. Science is to them today what a Kabbalah bracelet was in the late 90s: trendy.
