"Respect doesn't come by gender"

Totally right there.

The true test of manhood is how you treat a woman

Anyone saying "Real men do this thing" are full of shit, and I feel that anything they say can be safely ignored.

I just love hearing women define what a man is. I don't really care anymore, that shaming language only works for so long.

According to society, womanhood is inherited, while manhood has to be earned.

Nobody questions your womanhood, but everyone questions your manhood.

It fucking sucks.

Big surprise. Now we're being shamed into... what? Holding the door open? Here's a tip: you can tell me what I am and what I'm not if I can do the same to you! Gonna guess that one won't go over to well.

EDIT: And show me the paper that would let me take out a full-page ad telling women what to do. Hell, gonna need the whole damn paper for what I've got to say.

For anyone wondering, the hindi line translates to "Don't you know whose son I am?", basically what you say if you want to brag about your lineage.

Modern Feminists want equality only so long as they can blame all of their "problems" on men, and then tell men that it's their responsibility to fix all women's "problems," a mission which will be responded to with a firm "I don't need a man to fix my problems."

I don't know how people take this crap seriously.

India. 90% mental.

So if I don't respect Karla Faye Tucker, I'm half a man?

I will gladly be half a man, rather than respect a sociopath. This idea that we have to respect ALL women is asinine. I don't respect all men either, so why should I respect all women? Because vagina? To be a "real" man? No thank you.

I don't respect people because of genitalia. That's a pretty lame reason to respect someone.

Men are rash drivers, now?

Hasn't it been proven repeatedly that men get into less accidents per mile?

fruitjerky · 2015-03-08T22:15:47+00:00

I agree strongly with the premise, but I think it would've been more impactful if their list were "positive" tropes like with the original ad. Amen to the end part though.

Isn't there a huge problem with rape in India? Perhaps the person has a point, but it's hard to imagine having a problem with a poster like that. Sure, it's clearly not above scrutiny, but we all need to be a lot more reasonable and flexible with our convictions. This type of ad might be out of place in an American newspaper but not an Indian one, and whilst many men don't like what it has to say, and are well within their right to, I think we should at least be able to agree that in a place like India, this type of message actually does more good than harm.

Respect women? For what? Why would you blindly respect any individual or group of people?

"have we ever asked what is womanhood?"

yes. every day.

People in this sub often mock the 3rd wave feminism of western women but when something like this comes up, something that essentially says things we all would agree with but in a tone you dislike, we all mock it?

I am genuinely concerned that people in this sub do not care about equality and only want to feel like victims.

Outside of the "Treat Women" line these are all issues that men in this sub often post about, so why are so many people frustrated with it?

Further, if you look at this through the prism of India's rape problem, then doesn't this make sense as a PSA?
