Don't hold your breath. Feminism is a new name for chivalry; and it's been going on since the dawn of time.
yeah, like a guns n roses type band. lol iactually wanted to do that when i first came to L.A 5 years ago but it was too soon.
Then he said to the woman, "I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you."
but look at greta von fleet...imagine if they came out and said that
do we really need 'female' crash test dummies?
@Maxthx @basedgringo That protofeminist having been guilotined is actually legit. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Olympe-de-Gouges. However, I note that the last bit says "defended Louis XVI, and called for a plebiscite to allow citizens to choose their form of government. After the fall of the Girondins in the summer of 1793, she was arrested and was subjected to a mock trial, and on November 3 she was sent to the guillotine."
Probably died for defending the king, rather than anything remotely women's rights related
But it is undeniable she called for the concept of égalité to be extended to women in a rather famous historical document
@asparkofpyrokravte Which is what we said?
Question for MRAs....Why do you all prioritize issues the way you do?
Why not focus on things like gender quotas and women getting preference when it comes to jobs and college admissions
Women with less qualifications get preference over more qualified men
This is barely discussed
Yet I hear about minor issues far more.
Is it fear of being politically incorrect?
Which minor issues to you refer to? I have argued against affirmative action before
The truth is that there are a lot of issues... A lot of people will probably have different reasons for thinking such and such a one is 'more important'
I don't see the need to rank them on a scale
I hear it discussed a lot.
Not to say we shouldn't discuss it more
@Suzaku Kururugi Gender quotas are "affirmative action". They are supposed to be balancing out a gender bias in the first place. They may have even done so during the first year or two of being in place. They aren't really my idea of equality but because they are something that supposedly is an equality thing, arguing against them before they get super rediculous is difficult. And it is only relatively recently that affirmative action in colleges became affirmative action for the majority.
As much as I am an antifeminist, there are worse things feminism has put in place in the name of gender equality
Things that are less disputably for equality, like mother preference in custody battles or anything domestic violence related
..
That said, we do discuss it a fair bit. I think characterizing it as "barely discussed" is unfair.
Nonetheless, I would say that university admission quotas is a rather minor issue indeed, and employment discrimination though serious is newer and I lack detailed statistics on it.
They're both one in the same. Both are used to keep men out of jobs and work, which they can otherwise get through merit
Not really
University attendance is something rediculous in Canada like 50%
gender quotas aren't really keeping men out of jobs up here
well, not on the university side
The employment discrimination is especially galling over here
Have you ever considered that the reason for that is that more men choose to work and women take 'time off'?
Yeah, that is an example of female privilege, not having to care as much about wealth to have a good life
But issues that are merely female privilege are right now kinda the lowest of the lesser issues
The point is that enough people get into university that it really doesn't impact lifetime employment opportunities that much
I imagine it prevents men (or boys) participating in the education they otherwise deserve to get gainful employment *in the fields they deserve*
It doesn't though. If you get a 1.8 gpa you're not getting employment from your degree
Gpa means nothing to me, I'm British
Oh. If you pass university with something like 60%, no company is going to hire you based on your degree
