at least you admit that feminism is about womenz. I mma stick to MRA.
Cue the angry white woman
Great video.
She makes a good point: That, historically, the imbalances in gender roles played a practical purpose in the evolution of our species and that, in many ways, men had it more difficult than women did. I'll give her that. Today, though, with the exception of child birth, we can't say that we need men to do X and women to do Y. We're realizing that gender roles have become obsolete, and that gender itself is not a dichotomy. However, sexism still exists as an ingrained attitude in our culture, an attitude that some people are fighting to defend, even! Many posters on this board wear their sexism like a badge of honor as their way of saying "Fuck you, women, you're not getting any of
mypower! Now go make me a sandwich, amirite?" So yeah, these are attitudes women have to face today and no, it's not a two-way street. You can't say that men face the same thing because they don't. Guys don't get "creeped on" on the bus, they're not instantly objectified and judged by appearance by everyone they meet, they don't have to "prove themselves" as being strong despite their gender.
You're so fucking lost. Its women who expect "manliness" out of men, even your sacrosanct feminists. They will never tell you that though because they communicate covertly, not overtly like males.
Exhibit A:
Tanoomba's a guy? He's gay.
(See thread for 800 further examples of this)
Women today can be whatever the fuck they please. They have total control over reproduction, total control over family court, total control over their appearance despite your apparent belief that some shadowy patriarchy is forcing them to wear dresses, and they are ensconced in the all the high value careers and have held nearly every political office in the nation. These expectations of stereotypical femininity are long gone, but for men we are expected to retain all the traditional expectations of manhood or get marginalized by the opposite sex.
Long gone, eh? Sure, a woman like
Elena Kagancan become Supreme Court Justice so what the fuck are women complaining about?
Some comments about her from a Free Republic thread:
"Her face is so ugly you can smash it into some dough and make gorilla cookies."
"So fugly, I'd say 'don't even look'!!!"
"At least Medusa was modestly attractive by comparison."
"This person is disgusting and I would never trust 'it's' opinion on ANYTHING!"
See a problem yet?
Your bros here and your bro IRL want you to open your eyes and be real, your chick "friends" have zero respect for you and you don't even realize it.

I want to be civil, I really do. I don't want to call you a fucking mor-

I don't know how many times and in how many ways I can stress this, but you are not a fucki-... you are not an authority on the relationships I have with people in my life. You don't know me. You certainly don't know them. This keeps coming up again and again and again
and again and again and again... A bunch of random assho-... random strangers who don't like the idea of men and women being friends have decided
for methat my friendships with females simply "don't count". I tried to actually give some context here. I tried to give a synopsis of the circumstances under which one of my female friends and I became friends. This was met with mocking and, again,
again, the assumption that I'm somehow misinterpreting my own friendships. How can so many of you argue so fiercely about something you know literally nothing about? Where the f-... where do you get off, seriously?
Seriously???
How many times would you let me repeat that I believe you are a dog rapist? That somehow, based on the words you've typed, I have come to the irrefutable conclusion that you have raped at least 10 dogs and murdered at least 2. I know this to be true, and nothing you can say will ever be able to change my mind, you dog-raping murderer. When would you get fed up? Sounds pretty stupid, doesn't it? And yet you (and many others) feel like you have male/female interaction all figured out, and if you hear of a case that doesn't fall into one of your pre-approved categories of how males and females MUST interact, then it doesn't count. They think they're friends but they're kidding themselves, they must be. THE RULES declare it to be so.
No. True. Scotsman.
