The fact of the matter is that American Feminists are saying that they are being oppressed by the so-called "Partriarchy" and have no rights.
In Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, it would be fair to say that they have no rights, but women have ever right that men do in the United States.

When women no longer have to fight for an equal wage or rights to their own bodies, call me back.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

I don't care if someone comes to my town and advocates that everybody worship a purple squid named Norman by making macaroni art in his honor. Seems dumb to me, sure, but it's essentially harmless. I do care if someone comes to my town and advocates that it's okay to rape women, or beat up black people, or punch Jews in the face, or whatever, because that puts real human beings at increased risk.

I think there may be a time and a place to ignore someone advocating rape (or any other form of violence), but there's also a time and a place for shouting that motherfucker down.


Like I said, there is a time and place for everything. You can shout him down, sure, but this was more than just "shouting them down".

It is ridiculous women got the vote only within the previous Century. It is also ridiculous that in many developed countries, a woman cannot legally commit rape against an adult male, or another adult female, I believe. Certainly in the UK, where the most recent Sexual Offences Act defines "rape" as "penetration by force," rather than both "penetration by force" or "forced to penetrate."


I'm far from an expert on UK law, so I'll defer to them, but a quick bit of research suggests that while the definition of rape is indeed pretty badly written, it appears that there are similarly serious offenses that a woman can absolutely commit against a man; they are simply not called "rape." Is this accurate?

Have I villainized feminists? Yes. Have I ever dismissed the fact that women are discriminated against? No. I've simply said that they have the same rights, but I do admit they are discriminated against because of their sex.

Nobody but the idiots are demonizing feminism because of this. We are just saying this was an inappropriate response to shit these people disagree with.

I do not dismiss womens issues.
If I thought for a moment the anti-abortion lobby would actually gain ground in my nation i'd consider them my top priority to argue against (perhaps hand in hand with domestic violence victims.)
I villainize feminism for contributing to a number of problems facing men, such as the prevelent spread at the behest of feminist organizations of the phrase "End violence against women."

Do you agree or disagree that it is two words too long, and that given that it contributes to the culture of ignoring male victims of violence, and the culture of viewing women as weak/victims, it is perpetuating sexism?

You also completely ignored the posts where I pointed out that this is in fact, completely on topic.
Arguing why i'm railing against feminism when the topic is...well, you know.

The phrase is a problem too. The mass-use of the phrase is as a result of feminist campaigning and has actively fucked over male victims of violence, as well as perpetuated sexist views of women. If you take my G.A view, this is because focusing on one gender when addressing an issue inherently means your going to fuck it up and drop the ball somehow.

How on earth does "end violence against women" contribute to problems facing men, unless you believe that there is some sort of perpetual total amount of violence that must exist in the world, such that any lessening in violence against women necessarily results in more violence against men?

I mean, fuck, I've often advocated against child abuse. I had no idea this meant that I was advocating FOR the abuse of adults!

Violence against women is not a problem regarding their rights. A woman could have every right in the world and still get beaten by her boyfriend. Violence against women is a matter of who they associate with, not a matter of how many rights they have.

I've explained how. It contributes to the problem of male invisibility, and it also weaponizes sexist attitudes to achieve a sexist agenda.
