That is a seriously adequate answer to that question.

Feminism is just like every other radical ism, it deteriorates the goals of the "ism" more than it progresses.


The world without isms is the world I want to live in. Feminism is simply another stupid faction of radical idiots who are too stubborn to ever accomplish anything or live in harmony with anybody.

I want to live in a world with asms.
And in order to do that, I need compliant females. So really, it's just a matter of going where the going actually puts out. I'm not worried about the dike corporation of America. They're not treading on grass I'd plant in my own yard.

I know. I'm shallow, immature, an asshole.
But hey... I really don't care about the feminist movement. I'm not threatened. I know history isn't going to flip the dick inside out and make a black hole out of the future, with a mega-pussy darkstar super collider dickmonger slave maker.
Let the damn women think they don't need men to succeed.
It's great for self esteem.
Accomplishment and power. That's like catnip for a cat, equaling to a big ol'e dose of chick viagra for your bitch who's providing you the nasty nasty after work, if you lucky.

Count your blessings, guys.
The happier your woman is, the happier you are.

What the **** is wrong with you guys. Seriously. Women's rights is a serious topic, in many aspects of life we still do not receive the same equality as men do and being treated unfairly just because you were born with a vagina is something I take seriously. Degrading women does not make you cool Freebase. You certainly are what you said yourself: shallow, immature, an asshole.

I don't think there is anything left for women to feel they are treated unfairly any. MAny aspects of our society have been drastically changed in order to facilitate women who feel they are treated unfairly.

African-Americans bitch less about equality than women. I treat women with nothing but respect, but I still cannot stand feminists. They are mellowdramatic and irrational. You don't need to be a radical feminists to acquire equality.

So women sometimes get paid a dollar less than men at some jobs, well in actuality men are just better at some things than women are. And women are better at some things than men are. Men and women are simply different, therefore complete gender equality will never occur. Its simply impossible to treat both men and women exactly equal because we are not equal, there will never be a universal benchmark in our society that produces an equal dichotomy between men and women, it just wont occur.

So feminists can save everyone an earful of bull**** by just quitting their bitching and dealing with it.

African Americans, Hispanics, ***s and every other TRUE minority in this country has dealt with it, Feminists just don't seem to ever be satisfied.


I don't know of a single institution, workplace, public amenity or anything else in our country that purposely discriminates women. I have a penis and you have a vagina, we are different human beings and thats the way it will always be.

Um...
What rights do men have that women do not?

If you read my original post in this thread you will read that I was fired from my job purely because I have a vagina and ovaries. I got pregnant, I got fired. Pregnancy is a biological circumstance. The father of the baby got to keep his job. Despite me because perfectly capable of working, I should have the same right as the male to be able to keep my job. Also, nobody would hire me because of my circumstances.

Sexual harassment towards women in the workplace is still a serious issue in many places. So is domestic violence towards women and rape. Women should have the right to feel safe at work and in society in general. So do 'unwritten rights' like double standards in attitudes in society. An example: if a man sleeps with a lot of girls he is worshipped and called a stud. If a girl sleeps with a lot of guys she is shunned and called a slut.

I could go on. But my point is that this stuff still happens all the time in society and so feminism still plays a vital role. Read my original post if you want more detail.

I agree with you that men and women are biologically different and each have their own specific talents/ domains. But this is totally different from being discriminated against BECAUSE of your sex. Men and women will never be exactly the same because they are biologically different, this is true. But their rights as human beings should be as equal as possible. This is what modern feminism aims to achieve.

If you were fired for being pregnant, you have a winnable supreme court case on your hands. Thats absolutely ridiculous, may I inquire as to who you worked for?

Also, the sexual harassment issue/domestic violence reference. I believe that this is something that occurs in nature as well. Its the fact that men are generally stronger and bigger than women, thats also something that will never cease to exist. You cant blame that on society, you can blame that on individual incidents that occur because men can simply overpower a woman and men are generally hornier and hit on women with far more inclination to do so.

I don't want to dig further behind in this thread, im tired and 5 vicodin deep, elaborate for me as to what company you were fired from. Thats a blatant consitutional right violation, although I See you live in australia and am not familiar with your laws.

You do realize that becoming pregnant is not a part of equal opportunity rights, right?
If an employer feels that you will, at some point, not be able to maintain contribution to his/her company, you are in completely legal grounds to be fired. Regardless of circumstance.
If you're LUCKY, you might keep the job.
Just because guys can't get pregnant doesn't mean it's unfair treatment. Businesses look out for their business. Maintaining a proper work force is part of their obligation to their own business. Just because you become pregnant does not mean they have to suffer for it.
Companies don't owe anything to their employees except pay and whatever else is in their agreement. Male OR female.
If you're making a case about the fact that males don't get fired for becoming pregnant and unable to work, then you're barking up the wrong tree.
