For a long time, I always assumed men had it the best and thats where I wanted women to be.
However, I've been having a really really really long think about it. About womens rights and mens rights and how that causes issues, and I finally get it.
If I were a man, I would be pissed off at the world.
Being a woman by society makes me for the most part, weak and to be fought and advocated for.
However, being a man by society means stfu, deal with it and if you have a problem well, tough titty.
I have been putting myself in the situation that the common issues of Mens Rights appear, and how I would feel.
I would be fucking pissed off.
So I get it, I understand and I understand how far we have to go. Women are making great strides, but if you ever mention how little boys are treated in education, well all I got was a big fat fuck you by the general consensus.
When did it become a "only a girl problem" in every situation? I understand it, as a woman, I don't want little girls to be treated poorly because shes a girl. However, I don't want little boys to be treated poorly either.
I'm seeing the warp, the over focus on girls and women and the disregard for boys and men.
So, I am officially removing my title as a feminist, and I am a womens and mens rights person.
Because, fuck, the idea of being forced into fatherhood while the woman can say yay or nay is bullllshiiiit.
tl;dr society is a poop.
P.s I think my issue was for a long time, this ever constant spite towards women and womens spite towards men. Like an every day woman or man aims to belittle the opposite gender.
So yes, can we stop treating girls like little delicate flowers and men like they have to grow the fuck up in every single damn situation? Sometimes I like to be tough and sometimes men like to have a good cry.
Its rather therapeutic.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Check out "paper abortion" for men. Why do women have 100% reproductive rights, but men have 0%? "Paper abortion" is the only fair alternative when accidental pregnancy happens. Alternatively, I also think men who can prove they are the biological fathers should have shared custody rights not just financial support obligations.

Right. The man signs a "parental responsibility and shared custody agreement" before the last day for an abortion. Then he has both rights and responsibilities. Once he signs he can't back out. If a paternity test shows he's not the biological father after the birth, contract is automatically void.
If he skips town or blocks her number she can get an abortion, be a single parent, safe surrender the newborn, give it up for adoption, etc. Having an automatic default "paper abortion" avoids trapping men if she blocks his number and carries the child to term without consulting him. If he finds out about the child later after the birth, I still think he should have rights and responsibilities as the father if he chooses that role (irrevocably) and he can prove it. Otherwise she might bear the child without telling him and take away his rights.
IMHO people should stop using marriage to establish paternity. It doesn't really establish anything. We need a "shared parenting agreement" to replace or supplement marriage even when conception is intentional. If the contract said the man must pay 100% child support but have 0% custody as in many divorces, few men would sign.

Thanks for your observations. It's not really about letting go of my childish fears of being thought "weak" so I can sit down and blubber all over myself. Honestly I don't really have much need to cry in daily life.
I would just like to be able to approach a woman in public 1980s romcom style, without her automatically thinking I'm a rapist or stalker. Imagine if I met a slim attractive woman somewhere and she asked me out? (risking rejection and everything that goes with being the one who makes the move) I would like to be able to hold the door open for a little kid in public or smile at him/her without being thought a child abductor.
In a divorce men pay almost 100% of alimony and child support but are rarely awarded sole custody. Why? Men can't be fathers? Divorced women can't earn a living?
Why are regulated and taxed brothels still illegal almost everywhere in the West, but hookup culture is celebrated? Salon.com never shuts up about it. Isn't anonymous sex with a stranger the same whether there's money exchanged or not? The reason I'm willing to pay you is because you're attractive and you're willing to treat me as a customer rather than some rando horny jerkoff you picked up at a club.

Women are not equal to men. You don't want to live in a world where you are equal to a man. No woman does. You just think you do, because women are allowed to select only the good things from the shelf of life, while leaving accountability, responsibility, and obligation behind, because those things are for men. Men can't do that, because law and society foists those onto men right along with their choices. You're privileged. You should be saying thank you to every man. Instead, you post here like you can even begin to comprehend. You can't and will never. To even begin to, you would need actual empathy, integrity, and honor... and that's just to crack the surface.
