The lower strata of men are losing
I must add that technology and social media has made more information available - including the spread of the "plight" of incel-dom. It may have always been there, but we may just not have know. Also, with a more populous world, the numbers may be more, but the percentages must have waxed and waned over time.
Women generally don't marry down. It's statistically proven. Lot of highly educated women are complaining that they can't find a partner equal or more qualified than her. There are a lot of articles on it.
The narrowing of the selection pool
Ok, let's take that for granted for this discussion.
How does that impact the law concerning violence and other forms of abuse?
It doesn't
You bought this discussion onto it
toxic femininity/masculinity was where I came in
I mean where you said.
If sex is the driver, the women gaining suffrage....
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
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
I value individuality
I believe personal choices can vary and hence the obsession with 50:50 is idiotic
Interesting. I respect that view
Mine differs, but I respect yours
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
Why believe every job must be made ideally 50:50
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
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
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
Even in seemingly equal things like chess, the champions are overwhelmingly male. @Dan da Dad
We don't know exactly why
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.
Feminists don't want to equalize gender gap in psychology, where it is 80% women
I should think they probably don't.

India : Mumbai ‘Stalker’ Whose Penis Was Chopped Off by Harassed Woman Dies - https://redd.it/aavw76
That's horrific. I wonder if any feminists laughed this time....
If the view was any indication, I'd say its pretty likely
Makes me cringe every time. especailly when the men do it
You know they brought Bobbit on a talk show and had a giggle with her about it?
And there was a painting of her as an angel?
Makes me shudder.
Angel of what, death?
Only without the mercy
Pretty much
I was thinking a fallen angel, personally, but there you go
Correction: she is portrayed as a saint, not an agnel
And that is not the only one
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/
