That's one of the problems of feminism. Everyone's allowed to have their own version, so you can never pin down what it is even if you're talking about the largest feminist organisations in the world. Arguing against feminism is like swordfighting a fart. "Oh but that's not MY feminism!" "Ok well they're not your feminism but you are their useful idiot."

When you say the word, FEMinism, it's referring to advocacy for FEMales, or at the very least you're operating on the assumption that it can be both equality and only address women's issues and grievances by virtue of women being positioned below men. Thus focus on raising women up and all will be equal! Sorry, I'm not buying the equality nonsense. You can call yourself whatever you like but I don't have to respect you for it nor read only your own perceptions into the label.

I would posit that Feminism fights for women's advocacy, which is fine but it's not equality. They seek to grant additional rights and privileges to women, not the responsibilities that can or should (depending on your perspective) come with them. In this way they are very similar to traditional conservatives. Women have to be catered to and shielded from all responsibility. Birth control can't just be legal and available, it has to be FREE. A woman can choose to divorce her husband but in many …

If you're in the US, be careful about your son being left in the care of the ignorant. I've heard horror stories about health practitioners forcibly retracting a young boy's foreskin from an idiotic desire to clean underneath it. At that age the prepuce is literally fused to the glans and forced retraction is excruciatingly painful, with risk of bleeding and infection very high. Make sure anyone charged with his care knows that you absolutely forbid them attempting it!

Certain types of FGM are more invasive and damaging, yes. Other types of FGM are less invasive or fairly analogous. This is both an important distinction in the sense of being factually accurate and completely moot in the sense that CUTTING BABIES' GENITALS IS FUCKED UP. This is not a pissing contest and all anyone here wants is for boys to have the same protections as girls. Nobody is advocating legalizing or promoting FGM.

I'm not talking about individuals, I'm talking about ideology and powerful political organizations. I couldn't care less about your average "feminism means equality" type person, naïve and uninformed as they are. The extremists are the only ones with political or academic influence and therefore are the only ones who matter, and are the ones I'd sorely love to see derided and ridiculed and scorned as the charlatans they are.

Same. Have the whole penis I was born with and am a raging homo. I prefer uncut guys, but I never judge guys who were cut as 99% of the time they had no say in the matter. They're so much easier to manipulate and no big scar line or keratinized head. Lube not required! But Im against the practice not for my own aesthetic preferences but because of consent and bodily autonomy.

Since when does feeling momentarily uncomfortable cause actual harm? If a given woman can't even deal with an awkward interaction without falling to pieces and needing to envolve law enforcement I think the answer is more along the lines of therapy, not unenforcable legislation.

You're not very good at analogies, are you? It doesn't mean you're "putting the two things on the same level" necessarily. Police don't have the resources to curb panhandling just like they won't be able to deal with wolf whistlers. That's the extent of the comparison, you read way too much into it.

Hearsay from two jurors. Have you ever even watched a crime drama on tv before? People recalling things 20 years after the fact isn't worth shit. The Supreme Court made the right call here.

All right, so let's clarify some things here, because I've seen this article making the rounds and I think that multiple news outlets have been downplaying the fact that this crime occurred in 1992 and the conviction and death sentence handed down in 1993.

I'm so happy that some ~40% of domestic violence victims got a public airing from this, but sad it had to happen in such an extreme case to this man.

I agree with you to a point, but there are many different kinds of "aggressive tones."

The trouble with assertive women being seen as "bitchy" is that people (not just women) who yell or use a particular tone of voice are seen as bitchy. I presume that it's because women are wired to make noise when something is wrong, which is not a dig against them, it's just what I've observed. If someone says "Eh, I disagree with you there, let's do X" in a level tone and doesn't have a death stare on their face, you'd be hard pressed to call them bitchy.

You're so right. In fact, a really progressive idea would be to force women into these dangerous, gritty and necessary jobs until there was 50% gender parity! This would both address the gender inequality among sewage workers (and garbage collectors, and janitors, and linemen -er, I mean linepeople), and also reduce the disparity of workplace deaths between the genders!

Foucault was also hardly pro-woman, but it's not like that stops anyone. Also, you're misrepresenting what Jordan Peterson has said with regards to cultural Marxism. He's never said that Marxism always leads to Stalinism and whatnot, he's said that the belief systems are shared and that's a problem. He's been very clear about this, and his detractors can't seem to stop putting words in his mouth and misrepresenting his statements. Cultural Marxism is not the same as Marxism - it just describes t…

Maybe I misread your comment, then. Your first sentence of "it's what none of these men seem to get" implied to me that either: 1) None of the people who post here (who are all men) get this. or 2) Only men are disagreeing that this was sexual assault or not an issue. If you find either of those interpretations uncharitable I apologize, but that being how I read your first sentence kind of guided my reading of the rest of your comment.

It just seemed odd to me that your use of language in your comment implied that abuse of power in a sexual context is something men do to women.

Or the trio of liars who successfully ruined Jian Ghomeshi's career.

Her broader point is that if you trivialize the definition of rape and sexual assault to the extent that #MeToo and modern feminists seem to want to, it can no longer carry such a severe sentence in criminal courts. As in, "if rape is so common and so banal, then the accompanying punishment must also be minimal."

Yes and equality of outcome is a stupid and unattainable goal anyway; short of forcing people into fields they aren't interested in it's never going to happen.

I'd be interested in hearing about that charge before rushing to judgment, personally. If it was a charge and not a conviction, there may be a reason for that.

I'd be completely fine with the rebranding of it as a sexual assault crime as I agree that the biggest thing that makes rape what it is comes from the lack of consent, and statutory rape is simply the legal system stating the minor can't consent even if they actually did, and even if there was no coercion and a genuine desire on their part. I'm not exactly defending stat rape laws or even the terminology, and I just threw 18 out as an example. I was actually in a relationship at 16 with a 24 yea…

You do know what the definition of statutory rape is, right? No, it's not the same thing as the classic image we have of rape like a guy ambushing a jogger and beating her to a pulp and all that. We can argue about the age of consent if you like, but if it's 18 for women, it logically must be 18 for men.

Even if I agreed with your assertion that women are still expected to handle all the cooking and cleaning (which I don't, this isn't 1950), who is historically expected to handle the other household chores like managing the car, mowing and raking the lawn, snow removal in places where that's a necessity in winter, or fixing things that break around the house?
