Opinion Piece Delivers a "wake up and smell the bullshit ladies!" message in a major media publication

I think most men know this is how it is, we talk about it amongst ourselves but sadly you just can not express this as a point of view, or an opinion, in public without at best a patronising roll of the eyes or at worst a barrage of vitriol

Solid article, nothing sugar coated. I think more feminists should read this. It's men that are out there doing all the dirty work, all the shit Jobs, not women. People doing those jobs deserve to get paid more. Women mostly get the cushy office jobs. Thanks for the post.

That last paragraph basically argues what I have been saying for years. There is no such thing as true equality. There are positives and negatives to being either sex that pretty much outweigh each other.

"The moral of the story is that no one has a lock on privilege. The two sexes have different burdens and advantages, and also different preferences. Our notions of equality should allow for that."

My favorite part of the article was the last few lines.

"The moral of the story is that no one has a lock on privilege. The two sexes have different burdens and advantages, and also different preferences. Our notions of equality should allow for that."

People need to realize everyone has shit to deal with, shit you can't understand. Everyone is just trying to get by and we shouldn't attack each other to make our lives harder.

I really wanna see how much hate mail she got for writing this. Glad she did, though it's unlikely the women that actually need to read this will have an open mind.

I fully admit my life has been a cakewalk because I'm a woman - an attractive woman. While I would love to be able to pee standing up and to smack someone in the face with my genitalia, I wouldnt want to trade places with a man.

SFSMag · 2017-01-29T04:03:41+00:00

Having worked in several call center/office type jobs I can safely say it is much better to be a woman there than a man. The last one I worked at had 0 male team leads, 0 male quality assurance agents, basically 0 men in any position above the entry level. I have seen obscene amount of favoritism in the work place and in the hiring process.

Since I started this sub I have seen a massive shift on the perception of feminism. A few years back nobody would speak out against feminism for fear of retribution. But moderm feminism is not true feminism. It is a sad and twisted version full of shaming, violence, free speech supression, and more shaming.

I dont know anybody we actively discriminates against anyone in my life. In fact the last time I seen discrimination in the work place was in the army. And that was discrimination towards men. I was not infantry but still a front line role,which was physically demanding. I seen male colleagues removed from duties because they failed to meet standards. And to be honest to fucking right. But the female physical standards were so much lower for the same job it was sickening.

laid down that factual smackdown. it's so easy to refute feminist bullshit because they don't argue from the position of facts. you can only spin shit so much. the day that women bear the burdens of society as much as men do, that day women can be considered equal. in the meantime, they can simply enjoy the legal equality that they already have.

DomHaynie · 2017-01-29T01:29:49+00:00

Solid article. The majority of people should at least agree with her, regardless of stance on the topic.

ImOP_need_nerf · 2017-01-29T01:49:28+00:00

Refreshing. Sad to see it here in this sub though, one of the few places these inconvenient truths are allowed to see the light of day on Reddit.

IamGodEmperorTrump · 2017-01-28T23:13:51+00:00

anybody who watches Stefan Molyneaux already knows all of this. She basically did a Molyneaux cliff notes.

2017-01-29T03:12:22+00:00

wow it is so refreshing to see this articles published on mainstream media outlets.

grimm4 · 2017-01-29T05:49:09+00:00

Good article.

Nexyna · 2017-01-29T06:33:39+00:00

I cannot words how much I love this

mrlizbn · 2017-01-30T05:54:37+00:00

This article seems somewhat twofaced with the blatant message being "Men arnt the enemy", but it seems that she takes a whole bunch of jabs that dont need to be taken.

In a world where men still call (most of) the shots, make most of the money and still dominate the corridors of power, it might seem perverse to suggest that women need to check their privilege, too. But oh, we do.

Seems to be a "woe-is-me" jab but still passing it off as if she like men.

If we want to marry men who make more money than we do (and let's face it, most of us do, no matter what we say

This seems to be giving ammo to those on the other side saying sh e is "under a man's thumb" or some nonsense.

Besides, who does the dirty work? Not us. We may not be CEOs, but we generally enjoy nice indoor work in the winter.

this seems to just delegitimize the working woman full stop.

As the cranky feminist Camille Paglia notes,

Now that's just baiting regardless.

Im not saying this IS an ultra low key gender bait, it just seems to be really passive aggressive and snarky for no real reason.

2017-01-29T09:37:02+00:00

A-fucking-men.

Miasmata · 2017-02-05T13:18:16+00:00

Read the first sentence and closed it. Man shaming, mansplaining, these words are all so bullshit, and used by idiots.
