Most of this discussion has been surprisingly rational, but I have to take issue with this new post.
i personally agree with feminism because i've seen women being walked over again and again and again. men get higher paying jobs,
Men choose to take higher paying jobs than women. There are individual cases where women get paid less, just like there are individual cases where men get paid less. Bias is present individually, but I don't see the evidence of a systemic problem when you factor in the kinds of jobs men choose to take versus the kinds of jobs women choose to take. But you're free to believe what you will on this, I don't see any harm in pushing for equal wage treatment even if I think that's more or less what we already have.
BS. Like the "privilege" of getting utterly screwed over in divorce court? Men almost always end up getting the short end of the stick in divorce court. Things get even worse in family proceedings; men almost never get favorable custody, even if the woman is completely off her rocker and obviously a failure as a parent. Sometimes men are even forbidden from seeing the child merely because the woman lies and the court believes her. But you better believe we're going to be stuck with paying child support, payments that bad mothers love to abuse and don't put toward raising the child. I mean, unless the woman chooses to abort, a choice which the man never has. Let me describe the choices a man has when it comes to pregnancy: either the woman wants to have the child and the man has to deal with it, or the woman doesn't want the child and the man has to deal with it. We have no choice but all responsibility.
And then there's the huge difference between sentencing for men and women; men often get two to three times the sentence (or worse) for the exact same crime, if the court even bothers to convict the woman (many get off with probation even for serious crimes). And male prisons are well known to be a veritable hellhole.
Oh, but we're "privileged." Sorry, I forgot. You can have those "privileges" any time you want. I never asked for any of this crap, I just want fair treatment.
and they don't have to have the babies. we do, then men desert us for a young girl in a thong so then we're left alone, narrowly dodging suicide every day, trying to keep strong for the children.
Except for forced child support, which I've already touched on. And you, as the woman, have the choice to (a) abort, (b) adopt out, or (c) go to court to get your child support payments increased. The man can't do any of these things (theoretically, if he has custody, he can do c, but this almost never happens since (a) men almost never get primary custody and (b) if a man does get custody, it's probably because he's so absurdly rich that he can afford to battle for it and the court won't allow increased payments). Some men run away from parental "responsibilities." Somehow this is seen as a bad thing despite the fact that women can literally do the exact same thing by aborting or adopting out with no guilt, no shame, no problem.
In other words, you want unfair treatment. Consider that for a moment: you're arguing for unequal treatment based on sex. That's the definition of sexism, in case you didn't know.
because look at it this way, our lives are dedicated to serving men
Where do you live? Malaysia? Women are free to do what they want in every first world country that I'm aware of.
and getting as much cosmetic surgery as possible for men.
Nobody's forcing you to do that. That's a choice you make because
you want to look good for men. Don't blame others for your own decisions. That's irresponsible.
what do they do for us? get us a pretty necklace?
Well, for starters, men are usually the breadwinners in the family. This is changing for a lot of reasons, but it's still skewed slightly in favor of men earning the money, if only because men tend to choose higher paying jobs and men are saddled with the expectation that they'll be the responsible ones and raise the family. A lot of feminists are seeking to change that, and I agree with them. However, the current state of affairs does have many men playing that role.
That said, what you describe sounds like a problem with an individual man, not all of men. If you don't think you or someone you know is being treated fairly, maybe you shouldn't be associating with them. Nobody's forcing you to be with someone you think doesn't treat you fairly. That said, the fact that you seem to think men owe you anything is utterly absurd. Again, getting cosmetic surgery is
your choice and nobody owes you anything for choosing to get it done.
sure, like THAT will keep us happy, a little memento of our past husbands who deserted us in search of a new bird.
Again, that sounds like your problem. If your decisions in life aren't making you happy, maybe you should rethink those decisions rather than cast blame everywhere else.
some men are good, some men protect and help women, but when the rest of the free world are raping us and abusing us in every way possible, it barely makes a difference.
I think a lot of feminists would take issue with that statement, and so would I. Why do men need to protect you at all? Are you implying women are weaker than men? Again, you're saying here that women deserve superior treatment merely for being women. That's not right.
do we rape men? get them impregnated? no, we do not,
Yes, "you" do rape men. Female-on-male rape is a very real problem and ignorant statements like this only serve to isolate the victims further.
but if we could after all the crap they did to us, they'd all be too afraid to go out into the streets.
Again, women can and do rape men. It's ironic that you're trying to paint men as being weak here when, two sentences ago, you claimed the opposite: that men need to protect and help women (implying that men are stronger). At this point, it sounds more like you're just throwing whatever hate at men you can come up with.
i'm a full-fledged feminist and you can say whatever you want to, but i've witnessed some serious got damn sheet (new word for the other word) and i want retribution for my sisters.
And that's the key, isn't it? You don't want fairness. You don't want equality. You want retribution, you want revenge. And not just revenge on the one or two or several men who you think have wronged you, you want revenge on
all men. You seriously need to take a step back and rethink your position, this is the kind of blind hatred that can end up hurting people.
