You put men down. You dislike them severely. You're just like me but fighting a different gender.

maybe it's because you were bullied by straight men...


I don't hate men, I hate attributes you and other men display that are male-typical for the want of a better term.

I have many straight male friends, so you should desist with your guessing game.

How can you doubt it, you have no clue who I am nor know a thing about me?! :rofl:

Oh, I am deeply wounded by your choice of words, let me get back to you on how much of a monkeys I give.


Because you're 16 :rofl: chances are you've lived in the same place your whole life. You haven't been to uni. How the **** would you know about the majority of the UK. For what it's worth, the percentage of guys who are LADS in my area is low, like 5%

Please back up your claim about women being better in the majority of fields, when the evidence goes against that

Sorry babe, I think it's time to admit defeat. When you're ridiculed to this extent it's time to get your goat and attempt to leave with some dignity intact.

I realise that it makes financial sense that whoever earns less should be the one to take a sick day to look after family, we don't have the luxury of being able to say it turn to take the day off if they are the breadwinner. But consider the possibility that the woman might earn more than the man, then these arguments: men oppress their wives by forcing them to take time off from their job" or "men are shirkers/workaholics who don't care about other people" are invalid.

I don't understand what you are trying to say. If the woman earns more than the man, as has been happening in families since time immemorial, then the man will be the one taking the sick days for that family. As indeed we seem to see: it is not 100% women taking the sick days, is it?

But it is still mostly women taking the sick days, simply because of the factors I pointed out. None of which have at their root any gendered bias or behaviour we can change without getting in our DeLorean and moving all the world wars, electronics booms and civil rights movements back several decades.

I have my own horse thank you, so you keep it.

High Horse? How ridiculous. So I am on a high horse for saying women are better yet men who say men are better aren't?

L.o.l just stop.


Ideally, you and these men who state that they are better than females are both wrong. The definition of feminism is to gain equality for females (which has been achieved, apart from a few incidents, in developed countries). By stating that women are better than men, I'm pretty sure that's "superiority" rather than equality. You've also been generalising the whole male population by the actions of a few.

Chances are I have more than one house, have lived in a couple of places, and have been to places in the UK on the other side to me. Stop guessing when you know nothing about the person you are making guesses about.

Anyone who identifies as feminists and defends the actions of large feminist organisations like these, does not advocate equality.


from this thread I think you'll find the major thing I advocate is a liberal use of danisnotonfire GIFs

for example

I haven't been defeated, merely challenged and as you said ridiculed. I don't take ridiculing.

Now if you're not going to provide some kind of intelligent argument, let him be.

Another lie. The feminist movement has always been concerned in practice with the tribulations of white middle-class women in Western countries. Certainly, the Middle East needs feminism for equality. But the West needs men's rights for equality.

I am happy to admit, unlike the feminist movement, that I am a chauvinist for the Western sociopolitical space in which I and everyone I care about live, and thus I am concerned with gender equality here (read "mostly men's rights these days") before the Middle East. (And presumably, should you wish to impose social change on them, the same tried and tested feminist liberations can simply be applied, programmatically, to the Middle East now we have figured out how to do them, so the debate stage is not important).

Have you got any proof that the feminist movement has always been concerned in practice with the tribulations of white middle-class women in Western countries. I'm sure there are movements across the world that cover working class women as well... And men's rights - please don't tell me you're going to start of spouting out some bull**** about privilege theory? I have no patience for you....

It is impossible to quantify oppression, for starters. But areas where men suffer (and always did) from inequality are systematically discriminated against under the law, while areas where women suffered from inequality have since feminism been afforded special protections by the law, and this is the dominant mode in public discourse. There are even women's studies departments at universities, for heaven's sake. I think by any reasonable objective measure men today are more oppressed in those areas where they suffer(ed) from inequality than women.

Disclaimer: referring, of course, to the West throughout.

I'm going to be provocative and say we could definitely do more. Sexism is entrenched in our culture so there is a constant fight to deal with it so you know what? Who cares if we have women's studies courses, I'm sure it's pretty interesting actually...


This is just related to the fact that men are under a lot of pressure. They are usually responsible for the family's financial solvency and they know a terrible diagnosis would prevent them, through anxiety, social pressure, wish to be closer to the wife and kids, and actual debilitation to stop providing for their family. It is a frightening prospect and men bury their head in the sand. Men know subconsciously that they are, by dint of evolution, the disposable sex, and neither women nor the rest of society nor even the man himself much care about how they are feeling beyond how that affects their ability to provide resources for the upkeep of their children (and their caregiver, the wife).

Disclaimer: referring to men entrenched in the traditional gender role throughout.


This could actually be helped by men accepting help and by accepting help would cause them less stress and lead to potentially less health problems (mainly heart stuff from stress) but I do understand and accept this.

The main point at hand being that men are, demonstrably, not a complainy, moaning sex. Men are doers, you can't deny that.

As to your proposition; don't you think that it is natural for women to be the main carers, by nature of their biology? It makes no evolutionary sense for humans to specialise the sexes for different roles, but then have those roles being as good as each of them as each other.

I concede the numbers would even out somewhat.


Do you not think that it would be better for a child to have both parents playing an equal role in raising them? Obviously I understand female anatomy but in some communities they have communal childcare where childcare is shared between many adults and they are all involved in looking after various children. Though I think if there was more funding for childcare from the government then there wouldn't be so much pressure for mums to take time off

When we get dismissed as selfish and incapable of thinking with more than our penis, based on nothing more than our gender, are we not allowed to argue back? The oppression never ends

Considering my Sixth is in the top twenty in the United Kingdom, I'd say that's a pretty ludicrous comment.
