Women get paid less than men.


Are you serious? I find it really annoying when people argue this point.
The only reason women footballers get paid less than men is because they, overall, have less fans than male footballers.

The pay of footballers all come down to how much attention they attract.
The only way to increase the pay of female footballers is to increase the attention given to them. Things are not as black and white as some people think it is. You can't just 'increase' the pay to make it equal as their male counterpart.

Most areas.

For example football. Women are banned from being in the same team as men.


Holy crap. it's almost like sexual dimorphism is a thing

Is it not super obvious this guy is a troll yet? Look at the past threads he's made.

I fell for the bait earlier, just stop responding.

Why on earth wouldn't you want equality for both genders though?
I like this title so much, no idea why.

They aren't 'standards' they are basic human rights

Thats true. In the 1st world it has almost no use at all.


Yes because things like the tampon tax and the pink tax aren't sexist at all being cause in it exists in a first world country. Also women are payed on average 78% compared to men so yes wage equality does exist.

Of course i want equality, but im an Egalitarian. What feminism stands for in the modern world is poisonous and only raises a few issues in society.

Here's an epitome of modern day feminism:

Oh. My. God.

I dont want to sound overdramatic but feminism is promoting a culture that all men are predatory, sexist, primitive perverts. Feminism is dangerous.

Well in a culture where 11 people are raped an hour ( mostly women) and 1 in 5 women above the age of 16 have been sexually assaulted in their lives ( just in the uk) maybe we should be thinking of men as 'predatory, sexist, primitive perverts' because that's safer than letting them treat women as 'meat' or as an outlet for their 'sexual desires'.

do tell me what you, as a feminist do to combat this apart from hate on men?

And you think victimising and generalising all men is going to stop rapes? no. Because that's what feminism is about. Its bitching about it and making rash comments without offering a practical solution.

Once again you're highlighting the stigma that feminism has created upon men.

Let me tell you one thing, I do not class myself as a feminist because I do acknowledge my hatred for men however I still think I have a right to voice my views on this topic as you do. We live in a society where being a ****boy and a man whore is more social exceptable than a girl being a prude or a slut. Feminism hasn't created any stigma, men don't believe that they have had a privilege and refuse to have it taken away from them. I don't class my self a feminist because I hate men for what they are portraying themselves to be.

Oh and practical solution? Men should be taught to keep it in their pants.. Easy

Im assuming you're a lesbian or got cheated on because i dont know where your irrational hatred for men is coming from. But no, you're views very much mirror that of third-wave feminist.

there's two things that an Egalitarianism and feminism is against: Slut shaming and misogny as a result of beauty standards.

funny thing is that your point is actually not necessarily men vs women. Women yourselves impose such standards on yourselves and accept the "****boys". Do talk some sense and be a little less emotional and a little more pragmatic.

Egalitarianism stands for getting rid off unequal social standards (created by both men and women, funny that), third wave feminism stands for petty things like "Video games are sexist" or "The AC is sexist"

You keep doing it. Make disgusting generalisations as usual. We should be taught? Still under the assumption that we're all out to abuse you? Keep victimising men, that's all feminists do.

Women get off lightly when they sexually abuse others and men get much tougher sentencing in courts. The law institutionally discriminates against men. Oh the irony of it all.

because muslims commit most terrorists, we should think of them as ‘terrorists, perverts, and extremists'

People like you give the movement a terrible name.

I don't know if you're actually being serious here... but how can you liken the feminist movement - defined as "the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes" to the KKK, which aimed to suppress the power of blacks and was based on the belief that whites were greater than blacks?
