TIL that women dont hold political, economic, or institutional power. The mental gymnastics is real.

Australia's richest person (I'm Aussie), is female. However, in the four years she's been the richest person, she's lost more than half her net worth, a massive 12 billion USD.

If the person who wrote this "warning" acknowledges that women can be as prejudiced, perhaps I should start advocating in stopping "harmful prejudices towards men", because then I won't have to get roadblocked arguing the re-definition of words according to SJWs. Feminists don't use the word "prejudice" a lot, nor have they redefined that word for their own mental gymnastics.

I would love to switch my vocabulary to see if it has any effect, but I've been banned from /r/askfeminists at least 8 times over the last year. I never broke any rules.

At least they are right. These things are not reverse-anything.

On the other hand, I do not think we are looking at mental gymnastics. This is outright intellectual dishonesty.

The majority of the electorate, the majority of spending power, the majority of tax spend, the majority of power in the family home, etc etc etc.

Plus, chivalry. Men in power don't act in the interests of other men. Likewise women in power. See Thatcher. They generally act in the interests of other rich people.

What will they say if Hillary is elected President?

They're right. There is no such thing as "reverse sexism". But not for the bullshit reason they stated.

yahoo's CEO for financial and Clinton for political. Those are the two that come straight to mind. Never mind all the extra ministers and council members in many countries. Plus if Im not mistake one of the latin american countries has a female leader that is incredibly wealthy and beautiful.

In free markets women have a lot more economic power because they consume many times more, and economy is about individual consumption. Producers exist to serve consumers, even those who are not directly involved in consumer goods. Also, women own more than men.

Women have a lot more political power as women because male politicians almost never see men as a group they should represent. Female politicians, on the other hand, almost always see women as at least on of the groups they should represent. Also, women voters are in majority.

I don't know what on earth is even meant by "women don't have institutional power", the idea is too retarded. But let's assume that people are supposed to lead their everyday lives within institutions where women don't have any power. So, for example, women don't have power in families (which for most of us is the most important institution). Let me laugh, only in feminist fantasies.

It's truly Marxist--create a language and use it until people start believing it.

"Some pigs are more equal than others..."

TIL Janet Yellen is fictional.

"STOP!"

Yeah, how dare students think for themselves!!!

rawbface · 2016-06-07T15:22:23+00:00

Well they're right about one thing. There is no such thing as reverse racism or reverse sexism. It's all just racism or sexism, and men and women of all races can be guilty of it.
