She has never mentioned the prison sentencing gap, for much the same reason that it is not something that I think very much about either
You pretty much just pointed out the underlying problem. This applies to EVERY male issue. Feminism is about thinking deeply about female problems and thinking about female problems a lot. Yet, hardly any recognition of male problems. You really and truly have to be completely fucking stupid to call this equality. You really and truly have to be completely fucking stupid to not consider this mindset to be outright sexist.
quote:
I doubt that she she knows anyone, male or female, who has ever been to prison, or even stood trial, so it is not a subject that is likely to come up very often.
If that's the case, when it comes to social justice, how come the disparity between blacks and whites in the justice system all the sudden becomes important to bring up?
quote:
Now, things like personal safety, the sexist portrayal of women in the media and the double standard by which men and women are judged in sports, the arts and in leadership positions tend to come up more often, because it is so in your face every time a TV gets switched on or a newspaper gets opened
Personal safety: Men are more likely to be a victim of violent crime and/or homicide compared to women. Therefore, the world is a more dangerous place for men than it is for women.
To add, society is less willing to empathise and help a male who is a victim of DV or rape compared to a woman. Therefore, men get the raw deal when it comes to what society will do for them in regards of their personal safety.
Of course men and women are judged differently in sports, it's because men and women are different. Men can put up a better physical performance compared to women on average. Therefore, of course that's going to attract larger audiences. Nothing sexist about that at all. People are there for the performance, not who they are as a gender.
Leadership positions; This all comes down to what choices women generally make in life when it comes to family. But the feminist version to this is that it's all the men's fault. Men are to blame for the choices women are making.
quote:
You keep on saying that the Tampon Tax is a trivial issue. It is not. Tax on tampons costs women money. Money is never a trivial issue, for anyone. Try to imagine how you would feel about a tax on vaseline and tissues.
It's completely trivial. What's the amount of the tax? Less than 50 cents lol. My point is that feminists would prefer to complain about and focus on things like this over bigger problems males face. Like the problems we see in videos where they have social experiments when it comes to DV. When a woman beats up a man, people in public are likely to laugh. When a man beats up a woman, people are likely to intervene. I'm suuuuure tampon tax and manspreading is far more important than this.
That should clear things up.

That's brilliant right there. So your reasoning for why feminism is a bad thing, is that women are even worse off where there is no feminism at all (to speak of).
If you made some sense it would be a good start. You're not really making any when you are creating a stance and claiming I own it.
Here's some food for thought. Patriarchy theory. They use this to blame men for every single fucking problem in the world. Are you really sure this isn't sexist?
