Well how about a refund?
Funnily enough I heard plenty of the argument that I just mentioned a few years back but I can't find anything now. Mmm. The only legitimate argument I can see in current arguments is that women weren't given proper notice of the change and have failed to make proper financial planning as a result, and knowing how extremely reliable the government is, is probably true to an extent. The number of articles saying that its unfair because men generally get higher pensions (because they pay more into them!!!) Is ridiculous though
Wow. That's like something a small child would say.
Then again, they cite the pay gap I bet - which is literally the same thing.
Some say 'pay gap for women continues after retirement' so yep
*The core fundamental theory of feminism is the patriarchy theory
No, it is advocating for gender equality*
Patriarchy theory is a secondary element
*and reduces men and women into binaries of oppressor and oppressed respectively.*
Very few feminists I have met actually do this
Vast majority do not
---------
*Patriarchy theory is the theory which they analyze the world, in order to advacate for women's rights*
A theory, one that is not nessecary and that not every feminist uses.
*Patriarchy theory essentially reduces humans into binaries*
I think you need to read up on what patriarchy theory actually is. It is flawed, yes, but it is not the root of all evil
*And almost every feminist believes in it.*
Problem is, there are many different strains of the theory.
There maybe different strains of feminism.
Almost all feminist social analysis is atleast in part based on patriarchy theory. Including the Duluth's model.
But again, which patriarchy theory? Define the one you refer to
Men exercising control over women due to their gender privilege... Which is the basis of Ellen pence's formulation of Duluth's model
That is very rarely used as a definition of Patriarchy Theory.
There are far more common uses
It's the most widely used in feminist theory.
Maybe laymans use it less
It is not the most widely used.
Then why is Duluth's model based on it
Do feminists believe in patriarchy theory, yes or no
I dunno. The duluth model is not the be all and end all of feminist theory, despite what so many think
Which wiki?
It's a feminist formulation
Any wiki
How about Geek Feminism's wiki?
"the system of gender-based hierarchy in society which assigns most power to men, and assigns higher value to men, maleness, and "masculine traits"."
Fits pretty well with most gender theories
(note how men's issues is not included in the higher value list)
This definition is reductionist as the rest
Power is not limited to the male gender
"most"
Male power occurred due to a variety of reasons
One being, they were liable to fight, protect and die for the tribe
Ding ding ding
That's the price of power
Aye, it is
>Ding ding ding
Is that the menslib way or the chapo way
chapo?
And no, it has nothing to do with any affiliation to any group
Feminism is defined as the 'advocacy for women's rights on the basis of equality'
This in itself assumes that equality will be attained if *women are raised to men*.
The word feminism in itself assumes that men have no problems.
That is the worst interpretation I have ever seen \
