Modern feminist asking for equal rights makes no sense

hawknose33 · 2021-09-06T14:08:01+00:00

As a women I can wear whatever I want, I can chose my hobbies freely, I can work in whatever field I want, I can go wherever I want, the law will treat me the same as anyone else, I can form mutual relationships with men, and my fiance treats me as his equal partner.

What I dont understand is why can femisnt just admit they won. The goal is complete.

There is only one time that I felt like men treated me like complete garbage. I had the audacity to walk past some construction workers in a skirt and they acted like complete animals. This is dispute that I had my engagement ring on and was walking with my fiance who is a big guy. I just chalked it up to them being shitty people. I didnt blame patriarchy or w/e.

I have a friend who's a feminist and we deal with unwanted attention from the opposite sex in very different ways. I just ignore it. I dont even really take note of it and continue on with my day. While on the other hand she will make very spefic hand gestures and complain about it.

And that what feminism feels like to me an over reaction to something small and insunificat.

Oh, but it does make sense: they will become irrelevant as soon as they admit that men and women are actually equal and the gender pay gap or the glas ceiling are just myths.

This is why they carefully continue to propagate the lie of gender pay gap while turning a blind eye to the real issues, like the education gender gap, the life expectancy gender gap and the glass cellar.

it's the other way around: women have rights men don't have

women have a legal option to "bail out of parenthood" = abortion
men don't have a legal option to "bail out of parenthood"

equal right would be that a women needs written consent by the father to create a child with his sperm ... no consent would mean no child support by him

What did she say when you asked her which specific right she was fighting for?

adoctorswife · 2021-09-06T13:24:01+00:00

Maybe they are fighting for equal rights for women to work labour jobs like construction work, sanitation engineering, or mining? Oh wait, they only want to be equal when it comes to the cool stuff even though they have plenty of opportunities to go to those jobs just choose not too.

Some women claim that America is oppressing them, but there is zero proof of that. Now the women in the Middle East they’re the ones being oppressed, not American women. That has been my Ted talk, thank you

It struck me when I saw Polanski's movie "J'accuse" when anti-semites were saying bad things were done by the international jewishry. They were throwing these words like modern feminists throw patriarchy, like conspiracy theorists.

The west is more of a matriachy than a patriarchy. Women have far more rights in regards to workplaces, children, houses etc. No place in the world, even where women are the majority, has laws that allow men to have favourable workplaces or living places. Theres no affirmative action for men.

Even worse - Google protested that men receive too much in their company. Have too good places in it, too many etc. Turns out, the researched showed the exact opposite. And now the men are sueing google. Good for them, tbh.

On another note, the US womens soccer team also has been on the fence for half a year now about how they "receive less" money. Turns out, according to the calculations of a professional female soccer player that is not from the us on youtube, they receive more per game, with the additional bonus of their contract saying that they receive free healthcare, mother-vacation times etc. Yet they are still demanding more and are allowed to openly protest because... they are.. women?

The only somewhat "valid" point that they can come up with when it comes to inequal rights is that women and men earn differently, the so called "pay gap", but they completely disregard the fact that men and women value and prioritize differently in life. Men are generally more career oriented while women are generally less career oriented. If men earn more, its only cause they work harder and more, work tougher jobs, and work better paid jobs in general. If women wanna earn the same as men, they too have to work harder and work more, work in tougher jobs, and work in better paid jobs in general too.

Now, thats likely not gonna happen, cause women are more interested in lower paid jobs that are less physically demanding, and less demanding overall, with more flexibility so that they can stay at home to look after the kids etc.

Obviously youre gonna earn less, if you choose to pursue and prioritize work and a career that doesnt pay you well and you dont work hard at, but feminists cant get that through their head. They just blame men for earning more. Honestly, women need to get their heads out their assses and realize that you cant have your cake and eat it too. (I say that as a woman who is sick as shit of the self victimization of modern feminists) If you wanna earn as much as a man, then you gotta do what a man does, logically. If you still dont get paid as much as men does in the same job when youve done exactly what theyve done in the same exact job with the same amount of experience and same amount of qualifications, then you can start complaining about discrimination and gender inequality with validity, but not before that.

Women have one right more than men however. They have the right to opt out of parenthood.

OwenWentFullMGTOW · 2021-09-06T16:00:28+00:00

Ask a feminist to name five specific rights, privileges or liberties legally afforded to men but denied to women.

Have cricket sound effects ready to go on your phone to give her response the full effect.

If you're lucky, she'll mention a lot of ephemeral and abstract social stuff, the actual existence of which is completely open to debate.

semenjones · 2021-09-06T14:17:15+00:00

The only right that men have is that we can go without a shirt lmao

Normal-Yogurtcloset5 · 2021-09-06T17:38:44+00:00

One “right” that feminists never ask for is signing up for Selective Service when they turn 18. I have twins who turned 18 in February and just started college. In order for my son to get financial aid he has to sign up for Selective Service. My daughter didn’t. When are feminists going to be consistent and demand the right to sign up for a potential draft? If they don’t, they’re signaling to me that they only want economic and political parity with elite males but aren’t willing to take on the negatives that come with real gender equality.

they are not satisfied with their level of dominance in the nordic communities.

Wildhouse83 · 2021-09-06T15:24:04+00:00

Fighting against imaginary oppression is much easier than admitting that men actually perform better and therefore make more money.

Plus, it is a distraction from real issues like paternity fraud, divorce rape etc. God forbid if men realize that they are the ones disadvantaged.

BecuzMDsaid · 2021-09-06T20:00:49+00:00

Well I would be careful because the internet and college campuses are not reflective of true modern feminism in the third world.

Hey_itsmeguys · 2021-09-06T14:37:51+00:00

I think you need to read up on why they are this way. They believe that men have systemic power and so society needs to be destroyed to make them equal to women.

I know this is way too much for you to understand in like 5 minutes, but just read up all their terms on New Discourses and listen to his podcast where he explains the entire woke ideology. It's not exactly feminism but it includes it.

Think of the woke ideology as a template. It can be applied to any group: women are oppressed by patriarchy, so they need to overthrow capitalism to stop being oppressed. Replace women with blacks, gays, trans, fat people etc. and patriarchy with systemic racism, heteronormativity, cisnormativity, thinnormativity etc.

Omega_Stevedoxx3000 · 2021-09-07T02:11:36+00:00

you don't ask for equality, but rather equity and basic rights that were taken away from woman cuz men and women are not the same

Ok-Dragonfruit-6207 · 2021-09-07T05:39:06+00:00

The new abortion law in Texas is a great example.

mercinarary · 2021-09-07T14:03:55+00:00

So I did my research and didn’t find one single right that white people have that black people don’t. Racism must not exist then, right?

Rex_Trojan · 2021-09-07T07:29:51+00:00

Feminism claimed that they are here to give all the women their proper rights and to reduce women oppression faced by patriarchy. But what they're doing stripping men out of their rights and legalizing women to become superior to a man just because of the female gender. Also turning every film, book, game and other pastimes into a women domain so boys will grow up thinking that being a boy makes him a moron, incel, misogynist. Whilst first world countries have a standard for favouring women in every way (family court, school work, social standard that the men are morons and incels to use their freedom of speech to criticize feminism) whilst in some countries specially 3rd world countries have rules that are u unhealthy for women (taliban is a popular example). Even when fighting the taliban it's mostly men who died compared to women soldiers. Yet the headline goes to sisters in arms while brothers in arms gets pushed to a dark corner. However none of these soldiers male or female aren't feminists. What exactly did feminists do to fight this Taliban? Did they take weapons to fight? Did all feminists spend their resources to help Afghanistan? A very few number of feminists have done some charity working to help while most feminists and all the radical feminists work to degrade men and to acquire power over men in the first world countries. What can you say by this? Not all but most feminists today are power lust groups that care more to gain legal powers over men than helping girls who aren't media popular since they don't get their names to shine in news papers by helping them. Here's an extra facr feminists only claim about helping poor girls who had face injustice while the charity workers (mostly men) cares to help everyone (including poor boys and men with girls and women) who had face problems in their lives. See the difference of their intentions today?

Where I come from woman actually have far more constitutional rights than men

fnork · 2021-09-06T21:04:32+00:00

I think you might mean "postmodern feminists". There is no such thing as a modern feminist.
