1	Male privilege in Switzerland Sorry for the late reply, I hope you're still here. Does mainstream feminism include the National Organization of Women which goes around the country lobbying against equally shared parenting and alimony reform? I do not know enough about this to have an educated opinion, but I would like to state that "equally shared parenting and alimony reform" is something I would like society to strive towards. What is your (and this sub's) definition of radical feminism? Myself again: "feminists who acknow…	/r/MensRights	04/08/20 06:29 PM
1	Male privilege in Switzerland My idea of 'oppressing' is to engage in behaviour that removes power from a party through unjust hardship. As for 'gender equality', I definitely believe that men and women are not completely equal and should not be completely equal in all aspects of society, but the unjust inequalities (on both sides) should be rooted out, e.g., emotional support for men, rape culture. I totally get where you're coming from, and I'm glad we're having this discussion. I do consider myself a feminist, but not an …	/r/MensRights	10/07/20 09:50 AM
1	Male privilege in Switzerland I was a PES E soldier, so I do know what you're saying. I know a couple of soldiers who became PES F due to mental conditions, but the majority of them were still very capable of contributing meaningfully in admin roles. As for the regulars, I really don't think it's a good comparison since they chose to stay in service afterwards! And I believe the SAF does take good care of them.	/r/MensRights	09/07/20 10:59 PM
1	Male privilege in Switzerland You are right, I do believe Singaporean women will be conscripted as well someday. Right now the SAF is looking into technology as a solution instead. While you are also correct in pointing out the political implications, do note that a big factor is also the economic factor. More manpower in the military (in the form of women) = smaller workforce = lower GDP and competitiveness in the global market.	/r/MensRights	09/07/20 07:25 PM
-2	Male privilege in Switzerland Feminist: someone who believes in advancing women's rights in areas where women have been historically neglected/oppressed, in taking a step towards gender equality. Radical feminist: someone who believes that in order to advance women's rights, men have to be actively oppressed, e.g., through name-calling, discrimination. Based on first-hand experiences, less than 5% of feminists sincerely believe in and participate in radical feminist behaviour (according to my definitions above). I do believe…	/r/MensRights	09/07/20 07:14 PM
-5	Male privilege in Switzerland TIL feminism is a radical belief edit: there are radical feminists, sure, but that doesn't mean that feminism is inherently a radical belief. just like a minute percentage of MRA identifies as incels, but does that mean men's rights activism is inherently incel-driven?	/r/MensRights	09/07/20 05:30 PM
2	Male privilege in Switzerland That's untrue! You'll be PES F if you have a leg missing, i.e., you will not need to serve at all, and this applies to severe physical and mental disabilities, illnesses etc as well.	/r/MensRights	09/07/20 05:26 PM
2	Male privilege in Switzerland Apart from historical reasons, Singapore doesn't need to conscript women because (unlike Israel) it isn't in constant conflict. It's mainly for deterrence, and in that same vein, diplomacy.	/r/MensRights	09/07/20 05:24 PM
