Thank Men

Thanks Karen for fighting for us.

MetroPicnicStalking · 2019-04-25T16:41:26+00:00

After getting super pissed off reading Handsome Her's bullshit statement and loathing the world we live in because people like them exist in it, I saw this - definitely a good pick-me-up.

InformalCriticism · 2019-04-25T15:49:21+00:00

She's scary smart. I wish she had a bigger platform.

pardonmeimdrunk · 2019-04-25T16:07:26+00:00

Well said Karen, we appreciate your support.

loosedspice · 2019-04-25T15:38:49+00:00

That was pretty cash money if you Karen

UseTheTabKey · 2019-04-25T15:36:04+00:00

I agree. I'm not trying to be sexist or to shame women, but it's true. Men traditionally do these jobs, women do others. There is nothing sexist about observing facts.

Love her.

AC is a sexist conspiracy against women.

This is not very Karen of Karen

HootsToTheToots · 2019-04-25T17:15:04+00:00

The one Karen I can get behind.

I think if you really care about men's rights, you have to be critical about this kind of argument, because it's riddled with fallacy and faulty logic, even if you agree the conclusion that men deserve respect (and hell yeah, they do!)

I just don't think it's reasonable to assign responsibility OR entitlement based on membership of a gender. You don't want to be scorned as part of the 'rapist gender' just because some men are rapists, right? It goes both ways-- just as I, a man, don't deserve any scorn for other men being rapists, I ALSO don't deserve any respect as a man because some other man set up an HVAC system.

We deserve respect because we're human beings, so do women. Those of us who work hard deserve respect for that (so do women). We're not earning points for our gender, it's not a competition, and we aren't entitled to elevated respect because we're men and other men have done useful things.

Also, ">90% of the individuals who build and maintain the whole thing" is gross exaggeration. If we care about labor rights for men, there are things we can focus on but we have to stay fact based; men work more dangerous jobs and have higher rates of workplace injury, men are more likely to die in combat, etc. These are things we can rally around and try to change. Claiming that >90% of hard/necessary work is performed by men is a just playing fast and loose (I'm not being a stickler, actually look around here https://www.bls.gov/) and it really deludes the point that's trying to be made. People of both genders who work hard and sacrifice deserve respect and compensation for doing so.

Amazing woman.

CasualPenguin · 2019-04-25T23:01:03+00:00

Strongly disagree. No one person can wholly claim credit for anything if they are part of a society.

It's like saying any one part of a corporation is entirely responsible for the outcomes of the company. If you have no factory workers, there is no product. If you have no CEO there is no product.

2Glaider · 2019-04-25T16:21:54+00:00

Hello, Karen.

MasonTaylor22 · 2019-04-25T17:25:53+00:00

Now that is "woke" in the truest sense of the word.

FH-7497 · 2019-04-25T17:16:04+00:00

Very Republic Credits of you, Karen

ChewChewBado · 2019-04-25T23:19:28+00:00

all men should just skip work for one day and see what happens.

dukunt · 2019-04-26T00:38:40+00:00

I love this women. May she one day get into politics

Grahamatical · 2019-04-26T00:39:53+00:00

She's right. While I believe that women and men are and should be "equal", equal does not mean "same". When the human race moves past the gender pissing contest, maybe we'll evolve.

I don't believe in going back to women being subjugated and deemed inferior. Certainly not. Women do a hell of a lot, do without a lot, and struggle a lot as well, to nurture families, continue life, and work in the fields they choose. With our blood, sweat, and tears, strong women do deserve the dignity denied them in history and in some places still today. The answer, though, is not to look down on the amazing things done by men, just because horrible things were done in a horrible outdated system that is no fault of men in general. We'd be cutting our nose off to spite our face!

I can admit that there are jobs I'm not emotionally, mentally, or physically equipped for. And some women are not equipped the same as me. My husband can admit the ssame.some things he's crap at, too. And while gender shows TENDENCY based on society and biology, we need to stop pigeonholing people into roles based solely on gender.

But, we'll never advance as a species if we keep trying to solve problems with the same mindset that created them. We can't put down men to make women more respected. We have to respect people for their individual needs and abilities. Raise EVERYONE up. And despite gender, each according to his or her own gifts.

It's not sexist to point out that men and women are simply different, been that way since the beginning with men hunting and women nurturing. It's simply comes down to testosterone and estrogen, men are stronger than women when it comes to task that involve strength.

When I was working in sewage managent (worst job I had right out of high school) it was a labor intensive job. You were outside all day in various temperatures scooping and sometimes touching sewage, was a job I never saw a woman near.

Doesn't mean women are less than men, as both are important to society. Glad Karen can appreciate that.

A_one_legged_man · 2019-04-25T18:47:51+00:00

you can't make men feel proud of their accomplishments, that is only for women and ethnic minorities.

Mr_Hyde_ · 2019-04-25T20:19:50+00:00

I've always wondered what would happen if all men just stopped what they were doing for a single day, like what would the consequences be for that single action of just not doing nothing be? And what would the reaction be from the feminist extremists? How would that one thing change the way media and society see men?

DasHylen · 2019-04-25T19:31:40+00:00

does she have a youtube channel or reddit or anything?

perplexus101 · 2019-04-25T20:22:07+00:00

Karen might have taken the kids, but she speaks well

chambertlo · 2019-04-26T01:00:53+00:00

Everything is made by, ran and maintained almost exclusively by men. EVERY-MOTHER-FUCKING-THING.

MrPicklesOnDevon · 2019-04-26T07:51:06+00:00

Well said, Men fought for all the Women, Feminists and Lesbian hating men to give them the freedom they have today. And look what they do, shit in their own back yard. Something has to change cause these bitches are out of control.

GenyLeong · 2019-06-07T14:51:58+00:00

Brother, we are talking about RIGHTS! Our voice isn’t respect, men are killing us, we don’t earn enough for the same job, we have to deal with your sexual and political harassment. You are comparing two topics very different, because feminism is a threat for men. That’s wrong.

Criket · 2019-04-25T20:46:39+00:00

I would love to see her into politics.

quarthomon · 2019-04-25T21:04:42+00:00

I'm grateful that she is grateful. So rare and wonderful.

2019-04-25T22:05:18+00:00

That's amazing.

TorjbornMain · 2019-04-25T23:58:29+00:00

Its Karens redemption arc.After she took the kids.

vallzy · 2019-04-26T05:14:22+00:00

Am I the only one that actually doesn't like this argument ? I might get hella downvoted but I just feel like comparing which gender is doing the most is very bad and gives the opportunity for feminist to actually say that we are sexist. In my opinion we should only care about the fact that humankind invented stuff and that women shouldn't spit over man for random bullshit. After that, as long as everyone is equal who cares ?

Barthaneous · 2019-04-25T20:48:34+00:00

My favorite form of logic and reasoning on all this is this:

That all womens rights, all forms of liberty and all freedoms that have been given to the masses especially in America have been given to us by men, White men, White Christian men and no other.

There was no Jew, Nor Muslim, Athiest, Satanist, Hindu, Pagan, Budhhist etc. That had any part in making the greatest nation on the earth, and for the last 200 years the extended freedoms have been given to us by 99% Christian white men.

If anything, Christian white men are the minority of this planet and yet have attributed to the greatest achievements collectively.

THis is coming from a mixed raced person. I cant deny truth and will not succumb to irrationality

fogoticus · 2019-04-25T20:45:11+00:00

I remember once telling this to a severely misandrist woman on facebook who literally stated that the world can and should do "just fine" without men as we are somehow everything that's wrong with this planet right now.

Her comment was backed up by a handful of severely misandryst feminists saying shit like "Oh god, yes, I knew that for so long, let's begin mass euthanasiation immediately! Men can go f- themselves, women can do better" (I kid you not, this was the wording). When I came and simply said that because of our gender, most of the buildings exist, most of the hard jobs that keep the world going exist and so forth, I was greeted with a plethora of disgust, racism and just straight up sexist remarks such as "But your only real use is your sperm, we'll find a way to fix that soon, just wait".

Needless to say, the comment section blew up and from what I saw, 2 of the accounts just vanished. Either some facebook admin dropped the well deserved ban hammer on these dumb cretins or they just started getting huge quantities of hate for how stupid their almost terrorist level remarks actually were.

Imagine, being so deprived of the basic reality due to being so fucking privileged, you probably NEVER held a shovel or felt a spit of real physical effort going into something and then you just waltz online stating that it's so "easy" and that somehow your race will do better just because you think women automatically do everything better. And then portray a perfect pikatchu face when people tell you that your remarks are almost terrorist level of stupid. The nerve. Fuck me, I'm disgusted and glad my girlfriend is the way she is. She consistently bashes extremist feminists and I didn't say a word. NEVER mentioned anything to her. But feminists? Nah. They apply satan level of mental degradation and manipulate the fuck out of their men to become what they are, just for the sake of having their inner ego feel slightly better about itself being so shitty and incredibly disgusting. (not all, a friend of mine happens to be a feminists, a rough one but is a decent enough human being, she doesn't force her own views on anybody and hey, we're goo friends actually)

“I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!”
