Reading back through this thread, I can't help but notice that every single time it's pointed out that the largest groups of feminists in the world are anti-equality, you don't respond.

Dude, have you ever cared for another person that way? I've been married for 10 years to a man with depression and PTSD, and it's not a fucking cakewalk. It takes a terrible toll on your own mental health and if you don't catch a break, the only break you'll get is a mental one. So yes, it CAN be in EVERYONE'S best interests for you to split.

Yes, you're right, it is about priorities. But someone who repeatedly prioritises video games over something as simple as taking out the trash when it's overflowing (just a random example) needs to get their head read.

While I don't condone her hiding her issues or using "love as a reward for following her orders" as you put it, the housework thing is real. It can get seriously overwhelming when there's multiple people making messes and only one bothering to clean.

“Yes, it’s true that we should do everything we can to dispel the stigma around mental illness. But no, it’s not the same as nursing someone with a broken leg. You can’t ’catch’ a broken leg.

I don't think this is a "one is worse" thing, though. Urinary incontinence is really common in women who've had children due to the pressure that is put on the pelvic floor just by being pregnant. Tearing is also common, with the worst-case being a tear between the vagina and colon (in case anyone doesn't already know this, they share a wall, which is why "pooping" during delivery is common: anything in the colon is squeezed out by the baby's descent). Other complications include prolapse, separ…

Yeah, if you want the best stats, you need this PDF: linky link. Page 17 (by numbering on the document) has the breakdown of victims by sex. Intimate Partner homicide is literally the ONLY type men are significantly "underrepresented" in, making up 24% of victims. They're 83% of siblicides and 85% of stranger homicides, as well as 81% of acquaintance homicides, just to name a few. Page 22 shows that 85% of perpetrators were men. But they don't break it down much more than that.

I'm a mum of two boys living in Aus. My opinion of feminism is that it is too divided. There are radfems, TERFS, "good" feminists, choice feminists... and they all have a different idea of what needs to be done. In Western nations, women have equality of opportunity. It's up to us to make the most of those opportunities. We do need work on reproductive freedom.

OK, I can see that logic. Would you also agree that a man walking away when he never wanted a child in the first place is also dealing with the consequences?

It's really not. It's removing them. I don't actually agree with banning abortion, just so you know. But the natural consequence of sex and pregnancy is a child. By having an abortion, you're removing those consequences, short of a miscarriage. It's grossly unequal to tell men that they have to step up when women don't have to.
/r/MensRights11/02/18 06:38 AM

if you engage in unprotected sex, these are the risks that you take and must accept the consequences to your actions OK, cool, let's ban abortion then. That way women will have to accept the consequences whether they like it or not.

You could see it that way if you want. I think it's more accurate to say it stems from the societal expectation that men be the provider still.

The research shows there are some benefits, yes. However, some of the most-touted benefits are a reduction in infections (UTIs and STIs), prevention of phimosis. The first is easily treated with antibiotics, the second by use of condoms, and the third is not guaranteed, the rate sitting around 0.4/1,000 (source). It is also still common for foreskin to be forcibly retracted, which causes me to question the validity of the alleged benefits.

After their first child was born, and somewhere between multiple moves, career shifts, and learning to be parents, their relationship became strained. Having a kid does tend to strain relationships. As does each of the things listed in isolation. Put them all together, and you have a recipe for disaster. Nonetheless, once again Zak thought about how his relationship with his wife — independent of their children — had been neglected. And this is the biggest mistake parents can make.

Especially because most circumcisions are performed by doctors in a hospital not some guy in a hut without clean instruments If you're talking the USA, sure.

In the case of circumcision here in North America, though, I don't agree that it's medically unwarranted. It is medically unwarranted. What are the medical advantages? A tiny reduction in penile cancer risk (which in the US is 1/100,000 in the first place). A reduction in HIV transmission which is achievable by wearing condoms (non-invasive), a reduction in UTIs, treatable by antibiotics...

This is the root cause: In April 2005 trans people acquired the right to apply for a full "gender recognition certificate" under the 2004 Gender Recognition Act.

This was discussed at length in TwoX, and it was concluded that the whole reason it was struck down was because the buffer zone wasn't all-inclusive. That is, it was only applied to abortion clinics, not all buildings. Personally, I think the buffer zones should exist. These protesters are often incredibly hateful, and the women are often going through with something that is emotionally painful for them. The protesters can still protest, but they should be required to stay out of patient's faces…

So, are there any areas remaining in Western society in which women are legally disadvantaged? Abortion. It's exceptionally controversial, but yeah. I think it should be legal if for no other reason than safety. Mandate it be done in a clinical setting for medical abortions, and the women are safer. Making it illegal just pushes women into using dangerous methods to achieve it, and for all that I don't like abortion, I'd rather it was done safely.

When has feminism tried banning circumcision? When has it campaigned for paid paternity leave, or paid leave for both parents? What has it done to address the male suicide rate?

Yep, it's a bit hard to jail an alleged rapist if the police don't know about it.

No, I don't think so. I don't think there should be any debate at all. We have in Western society a horrid double-standard. Altering a girl's genitals is illegal, yet many people are fine with doing it to boys. For all we know, FGM could be just as beneficial as MGM, but since no studies have been done on it, we don't know. So why are we OK with mutilating our boys, but doing it to girls is anathema?

That wasn't my point and you know it. Vaccines have a proven benefit for the child and the rest of society. Cleft palates cause all manner of issues. I had my son's tongue tie cut when he was a couple of weeks old so he would be able to speak clearly when he's older (and yes, I felt awful about it and still do to a degree). But all the marginal benefits of circumcision are achievable by other, non-destructive means. It should be up to them to do the research and choose for themselves when they'r…

Some women have issues with their labia. Like when inner labia protrude and rub painfully against their clothes. Their body, their choice.

Do you believe that's how it should be for everyone? If so, then that's a problem. If it's just what you want for yourself, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. I have done almost that. I married at 23, we bought a house together the following year, and we now have a son who's a day shy of 10 weeks old. I've taken 6 months off my job to spend with him, and am currently not keen on going back (I have to because money).

Yes, there's a huge difference. I know they're not true, but you will never be able to convince these people of that fact, which makes trying to debate with them impossible.

more women's rooms have them than men's rooms I figured that. Luckily, some of our bigger malls here have baby rooms, with good change areas, a play area for bigger children, breastfeeding stalls, and parent/child toilet area.

Circumcised penises give females real safe feeling! and Circumcision is evolution and It is a well known fact that men who are uncircumcised will generally hate to use a condom. and People at the "no" side are actually bitter towards the "yes" side simply because these guys are regreting for not having their penises circumcised. and I don't see anything wrong in making circumcision mandatory. I mean it has so many potential health benefits, and that too just for such a little bit of pain- I say …

2 hours per day each on cooking and cleaning??? Who the fuck does that? I love cooking, and I still only spend that amount of time cooking a meal if it's something like a roast. And what the hell takes so long in the cleaning? An hour a day on washing? Since when does it take a full hour to shove on a load of washing and either hang it out or shove it in a dryer? Shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes. I get the Janitor, but only with small children who're not toilet-trained, and even then an h…

I disagree. People as individuals and in groups grow when they are questioned and their ideas are challenged if they are open to it. If we close ourselves to dissent and discussion, we will never get anywhere.

Simple. Circumcision violates a simple principle, that of "his body, his choice". We abhor the violation of this principle in girls and women, so why are we ok with it for our boys?

So you could do without your electric hot water? Police can go without their Kevlar vests? We can remove all life rafts from boats?

Surprisingly, there are several I was able to find in a quick Google, though it seems it was more due to political activism than feminism that they were killed. Olympe de Gouges was executed on 3 November 1793. Kanno Sugako in 1911 for treason. Qiu Jin on July 15, 1907.
