I don't understand what's the crime here. who is the victim? the girls? the stripper? and what if the gender had been reversed? can this sub not turn into complaining about non issues
by the actual definition of feminism, I would call myself a male feminist. in practice I avoid to do it because modern feminism has mostly disintegrated into whining about non issues on the internet. I believe in equal rights for women just as much as I believe in equal rights for men. and I also believe that one should not come to the expense of the other.
can we just make all bathroom gender neutrals already what's with the imaginary boundary like you cant do your business if someone of another gender is in the next stall? we all poop the goddamn same
made up drama is not a men's rights issue. I just don't know how else to word it. people are gonna be angry at the scarecrow sexism. people are gonna be angry at those people. but to begin with, no one even has a reason to be angry. it's just a bad movie. ffs you guys like to whine as much as the feminists you dislike so much.
nope, still no concern of mine. all I have to do to not be bothered by that movie is not see it. I have zero reasons to make that movie, or all the made up drama that's associated with it, an issue I care about.
I don't even find those offensive, most of them are just jokes. what's annoying is the double standard, that they are none with a female moron. but what can you do, advertisers are good at what they do, they figure out what ad gives them the most $/ad time. I do feel however that there is a line to not be crossed, this ad downright celebrates domestic abuse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIP9rtgdFOc
that's not the way I want this double standard to be resolved. a kid pinching another kid's butt shouldn't be met with police intervention. how much social justice is too much social justice?
serious question though, is there a way for someone with such a mental handicap can give consent? if not, does it mean that they can't legally have sex ever because it would always be rape? that doesn't sound fair to them at all.
playing devil's advocate here, just pointing out that "men" can be interpreted as the default gender for humans, not necessarily human males, in which way "men die first" could be opposed to, let's say, "orcs dies first" in a warcraft like game.
hundreds of men are murdered like they don't matter, while making a woman sad is the dramatic peak of the movie I disagree with your examples. in Game of Thrones there are lots of dramatic peaks, but the major three I can think of are all death of male characters. through the series there is also a truck load of deaths, rapes and murders going for both genders. Kill Bill is a super violent action film in which the protagonist is female. it makes sense that the movie would focus on the protagonis…
'A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.' someone can be good at something and bad at another thing. everyone has done at least one good deed, and at least one selfish deed. putting someone in a basket forever because of one thing they did is questionable, doing it when they are accused without proof is insane.
there a no winners in situations like these. alimony laws are a mess, and absurdly difficult to enforce the right way. throw in some personal attacks and role reversal and we have this bizarre situation no one knows what to think of.
this is exactly what I thought. most posters of this sub get (rightfully) offended when it's a male who is considered guilty before going to court, there is not reason to have any different standards for this case.
yes, through a lifetime you will hear controversial, nonsensical opinions. be mature about it and make your own choices and don't whine for the sake of whining
the severity of the punishment should always be proportional with the gravity of the crime when I read story like this (which is very often on this sub) I can't help but think, is it that bad? I think I am speaking for the minority, but I'm actually okay with the article not calling this rape. I get that there is the age difference, the relation of trust, the unprofessionalism but none of that seems all that terrible to me. what I'm getting to is that it's the double standard that is infuriating…
imo, the main focus of the debate is not to figure out whether or not the benefits outweigh the risks. we know there are pros and we know there are cons, but the fact of the matter is that it is permanent. even if we were sure that the pros outweighed the cons, the consequences of the procedure are permanent and the no one should have the power to make that decision for someone else, not even the parents. they should never do this without the patient's consent (unless there is a specific medical…
just because the pictures in the info-graphic are all women doesn't mean this in a female only issue. sexualized males are all over the media, and I think it's good to discuss what actually is and isn't sexual objectification
no one said it never happens. A good way to estimate the outcome is to realize that if the targeted audience is primarily males, then the females are likely to be sexually objectified but if the target audience is primarily females, then it's the males who are more likely to be objectified. in short, whatever sells to the target audience. video games are an example of something that targets the male audience primarily.
is some cases both apply to some extent, and the truth is somewhere in the middle. let's use the Lord of the Rings as an example. You will notice that everyone is good looking in the Lord of the Rings, including Aragorn, Legolas and even all the hobbits. Looking at a strong female character, Eowyn, is there a reason why she wouldn't be as good looking as the rest of the cast? In fact, in the movie her being beautiful is part of a plot point when Grima is in love with her and goes crazy when she …
yup, I found it on /r/feminism and thought it was very well said. I also think the reasoning applies to males just as well as females. also whenever people get angry about fictional characters looking so sexy and glamorous, they ought to realize that those fictional characters wouldn't be as powerful if they were average looking.
