Ok, let's take that for granted for this discussion.

2018-12-29 20:18:02 UTC  

How does that impact the law concerning violence and other forms of abuse?

2018-12-29 20:18:39 UTC  

It doesn't

2018-12-29 20:19:03 UTC  

You bought this discussion onto it

2018-12-29 20:19:48 UTC  

toxic femininity/masculinity was where I came in

2018-12-29 20:20:38 UTC  

I mean where you said.

If sex is the driver, the women gaining suffrage....

2018-12-29 20:22:28 UTC  

I'm saying, in your view, that women are overtaking men in terms of rights and power - so if it's due to sexuality, that they must be the stronger gender

2018-12-29 20:23:11 UTC  

I think both men and women are climbing in power, and in doing so, women are closer to men now than ever, but that it's not a game of pie

2018-12-29 20:23:34 UTC  

I value individuality

2018-12-29 20:24:19 UTC  

I believe personal choices can vary and hence the obsession with 50:50 is idiotic

2018-12-29 20:24:59 UTC  

Interesting. I respect that view

2018-12-29 20:25:12 UTC  

Mine differs, but I respect yours

2018-12-29 20:25:26 UTC  

i dont like feminists set to define what "toxic masculinity" is and isnt, and how to address it. its not about them or for them

2018-12-29 20:27:53 UTC  

Why believe every job must be made ideally 50:50

2018-12-29 20:37:35 UTC  

While I'm open to the idea of "best candidate" - and there are women who can work cars and fish and even lift, so I wouldn't want to exclude them - the reality is that statistics will favor one side over the other. Maybe in a century, if we all don't destroy ourselves/the planet, we'll all evolve into a unisex being, but for now, we are witnessing a social revolution

2018-12-29 20:44:07 UTC  

i think SJWism might prove to be more of passing fad than people think. but at the same time, it could be the beginning of a nazi like movement

2018-12-29 20:46:47 UTC  

There are women who can work cars and lift things but are those number of women anywhere near the number of men who could do that?

That's why there will never be 50:50

2018-12-29 20:55:51 UTC  

Even in seemingly equal things like chess, the champions are overwhelmingly male. @Dan da Dad

2018-12-29 20:58:48 UTC  

We don't know exactly why

2018-12-29 21:56:46 UTC  

It might come down to that "women interested in people, men are interested in mechanical things" dynamic that gets talked about a lot. It's one of those 'pros and cons of each gender' dealies, I think.

2018-12-29 22:16:43 UTC  

Feminists don't want to equalize gender gap in psychology, where it is 80% women

2018-12-30 08:54:50 UTC  

I should think they probably don't.

2018-12-30 14:31:31 UTC  

That's horrific. I wonder if any feminists laughed this time....

2018-12-30 14:55:10 UTC  

If the view was any indication, I'd say its pretty likely

2018-12-30 15:30:16 UTC  

Makes me cringe every time. especailly when the men do it

2018-12-30 15:30:34 UTC  

You know they brought Bobbit on a talk show and had a giggle with her about it?

2018-12-30 15:30:45 UTC  

And there was a painting of her as an angel?

2018-12-30 15:30:50 UTC  

Makes me shudder.

2018-12-30 15:31:17 UTC  

Angel of what, death?

2018-12-30 15:34:51 UTC  

Only without the mercy

2018-12-30 15:43:40 UTC  

Pretty much

2018-12-30 15:43:53 UTC  

I was thinking a fallen angel, personally, but there you go

2018-12-30 15:44:35 UTC  

Correction: she is portrayed as a saint, not an agnel

2018-12-30 15:44:56 UTC  

And that is not the only one

2018-12-30 15:46:25 UTC  

Sorry, I hope nobody minds gore in a painting. I couldn't find a way to link indirectly to that image from here, but you can see it under 'bobbit': http://www.sandowbirk.com/paintings/history-paintings/
