You're looking for justice. This has nothing to do with justice, it's all about political power. Women are the biggest voting block. Try talking about the problems of groups that tend to vote Republican and all you get is resistance and hate. This is why men's rights gets so much flak.

Yeah but also women weren’t any more oppressed than men and both men and women created the system.

In my opinion this rationalisation is flawed:

A fundamental problem is that it assumes an equivalence between women today and ancestral women. Why? I have just as many female ancestors as women do. Shouldn’t I also receive privilege rather than be penalised? To particularise this point, if the ABC journalist’s grandfather “hogged space” to the cost of my grandmother, shouldn’t it be the journalist who is penalised?

At root, this is a doctrine of original sin – men are guilty by virtue of birth rather than any choices made as moral agents. Wreaking revenge on those who have done no harm, simply because they were born into your out-group, is far from just. It is, in fact, institutionalised vindictiveness.

Pearl Harbor was Japan attacking the US; why would they be bitter about that? For that matter, why would "affirmative action", which is just a euphemism for "racism in a socially popular direction", NOT be "too much of a give"? Jesus asked us to treat everyone equally; not to discriminate based on past actions.

He had some big things to say on the importance of forgiveness, too.

Should the Tlaxcalans not be bitter about the modern condemnation of Cortez, who came in and liberated them from centuries of Aztec oppression that literally treated them as livestock for the slaughter? Should I, who knew firsthand the great-grandparents who collected "No Irish Need Apply" signs they stole not be bitter about be discriminated against because of the color of my skin?

You've got a lot to learn.

Because just like it’s easier to hate than to love, it’s easier to blame others for your problems, than to acknowledge that those people have their own problems and issues that you may, in fact be largely exempt from.

Women have long been a favored class in society, handed rights without the struggles men faced. Men fought hard for voting rights through property ownership, labor movements, or military service, such as the UK’s Reform Act for land-owning men or the US’s 15th Amendment for black men. Women simply asked for the vote and got it from male lawmakers, as seen with the US’s 19th Amendment or the UK’s Act giving women over 30 suffrage. That applies to pretty much any society around the globe, western or eastern. Look up the founder of my country, Atatürk, who freely bestowed rights on women, such as voting in 1930 and 1934, while diminishing men’s status, despite Turkish men’s immense sacrifices, with thousands dying in their 20s on battlefields like Gallipoli and the War of Independence.

Stop with that "Oh, but women were oppressed in the past, but I am the good guy ladies, my nature is good, I will not oppress you mistress. 😭" grumbling, it sounds pathetic.

It’s a feminist falsehood: women are descended from their “oppressors”. And have had any financial advantages wealthy families have.
