Feminists complain about women "oppressed" in islam by not being able to wear a short skirt, but have you seen an islamic man wearing a short skirt? What do you think will happen to him? Google muslim men images and will there be even one of them who is dressed more lightly than women?

As a man, I feel like it's self-respect for me to cover my own body and I don't see why women who do that wouldn't feel the same, but somehow involuntarily stripping them is "empowering".

There are also small "cults" of Jewish women who chose to cover their body like Muslims and whose husbands are blamed for oppressing them, but the thing is said husbands may not even know what their wives are into because they spend all days studying in kollels

what about women in Islamic countries?

"someone else who lives on the other side of the planet has it rough" is not an argument with any relevance outside of that location.

Leave other moral, religious and social standards alone. They have worked for hundreds of years for these societies.

The West/ feminism hasn't got a license for moral superiority over the rest of the World.

Feminism is destructive to societies. Sinking marriage, fertility rates and broken single mother homes prove the point.

Feminism tears the fabric of societies and antagonizes genders against each other. Men adapt and check out, just focus on themselves. Good for men, for societies it's a downhill slide.

Wow! How to make a feminist’s head explode.

this article's claims -- "men have an interest in their monogamously-partnered women not being able to meet other men" + "women have an interest in having at least one man to protect them from other men" = "women will agree to the values of their male partner including fucking up their freedom and health in order to have their man stay with them"

there's a line in second-wave feminist thinking that's like "women see that liberals want them to be public property (e.g. prostitution) and conservatives want them to be private property (e.g. marriage) and some women decide that being owned by one man is better than being owned by many"

There's some commonality there. But in the practices looked at (foot binding, FGM, niqabis), who ends up with broken feet and chronic pain and limited mobility -- who ends up with limited social connections because her face is covered so nobody can recognize her -- who ends up with near-total loss of sexual pleasure and incontinence? Cuz like. it's not the males. Per the rhetoric of the article, it seems like males' "enemies" are being tagged as other, "higher-status" males.

Another pile of drivel from "avoiceformen.com"
