Feminists have ruined marriage. Women have rights, men have responsibilities. Discuss

It still does. The gap actually widened recently- females are apparently paid 78% of what men are paid. Whilst I admit that male and female job choices hold an explanation for the discrepancy, I do believe that discrimination of women also play a huge role.

Do you both want equality in areas where men are disadvantaged?

For example, do you want equal numbers of men and women to die at work?(currently 93% of people who die at work are men)

Do you want equal numbers of men and women to kill themselves? (currently it's about 4-1 men-women)

Do you want equal numbers of men and women to be homeless? (currently men make up far more homeless people)

Do you want the average life expectancy to be the same? (currently women live longer than men in nearly every country in the world)

It seems to me that feminists are often hypocritical - looking up to the top of society and seeing that it is male dominated and demanding more women in the boardroom and in parliament, but ignoring the fact that the bottom of society is overwhelmingly male too.

If you were a business owner, why would you hire men if you could get the same work from a woman but only pay 78% of the salary?

Business owners want to maximise profits, not discriminate against women.

It will take another 40 years before the pay gap is finally closed.

Statements like this are hilarious. You may as well say 10 years or 2000 years. The gender pay gap will never close in a capitalist society because men are biologically, on average, superior to women in terms of physicality and what they're deemed able to offer in the work place on an economic level.

One simple reason- maturnity leave. Can you see why businesses would discriminate against females?

What era are you living in?

Since when does 'physicality' determine who goes up the ranks in the highest income jobs?

The modern era brah. Are you suggesting that top end jobs don't put a strain on your mental and physical well being? Of course they do.

In regards to physical well being, not in a way that benefits males over females.

In regards to mental well being.... please, please don't suggest me you are suggesting that males are mentally stronger than females?

Are you suggesting football etc. and other sports aren't jobs? Oh wait they are. Plus there are plenty of other highly paid specialist jobs that women rarely do because of the physical and mental demands like underwater welding.

Men are mentally stronger yeah.

I wonder why more men commit suicide then.

Part of it is due to our culture that dictates that men our physically stronger then women. Have you heard of the Aka people? There women hunt as well as the men, and the men look after the children also.

Also- Whilst I slightly question some of the article below's accuracy, it does provide some food for thought. I will research more into this to confirm its validity (or lack of)

Feminists distorted the free market by requiring maternity leave, which has consequences. Of course feminists want to eradicate these consequences by requiring equal pay for unequal work, but this will have its own consequences (i.e. men preferentially being hired over women).

Whether feminists like it or not, nature has burdened and privileged females with a unique role to play in society - only women can create new life. HOWEVER, in a fair and just society a woman's husband should be incurring the costs of allowing the woman to raise her child, not hardworking business owners or taxpayers.

Of course, we don't live in a fair and just society because marriage is a terrible deal for men in the West, so I must discourage any men on here from getting married until the laws change.

Being massive hypocrites, feminists have freed women from their traditional gender roles but want men to keep their traditional gender role (when it benefits women) - e.g. paying through the nose even after a divorce.

Men who get married today are taking a huge risk with very little benefit. Once married, their wives have all the power. She doesn't need to stay thin or keep her hair long or dress like a woman or provide sex or do any cooking or cleaning.

She has her husband by the balls and he has to become her submissive little bitch or risk divorce = losing his house, children and half his wealth.

You should use Google Scholar for evidence. What even is that site? Did you come across that on some feminists tumblr ramblings or something? Come on now. Proper sources please.
