What do you think of the MGTOW social justice movement? I would like to hear people's thoughts on why the movement even exists in the first place and so forth. They are very anti LGBT (or so they would have me believe [spoiler]wink wink[/spoiler]) so I was wondering what your thoughts were.

Also wouldn't it just make logical sense for a "fuck women" movement to go gay? Are they seriously just planning on staying celibate?

Most (all) of them tend to be damaged and upset by unsatisfying relationships with women. The site is essentially a hugbox for men who are going through divorces or are upset because of a nasty relationship.
Imagine a son and dad talking to one another about girls. The boy is sad that the girl he asked out didn't like him. The dad replies, "Ah, son, all women are the same haha!".
Now imagine those boys all grew up and took that statement 100% literally.

They aren't all repressed homosexuals or something, but when you browse their forums you hear a lot of:
"This woman did X so all women do X, im sick of the modern female".

>>5430813

>>5430840
But to answer your question, yes. Yes they are. The ultimate goal is to completely disconnect yourself from modern society because it has women in it.

I think it's pretty silly, they claim they're trying to be independent of women but their whole movement basically revolves around women one way or the other. So basically, they're no more independent from women than the average straight guy - only they whine about women instead of having sex with them.
>>
>>5431002
In being part of the movement, they let women dominate their lives even more than they thought it did before.

Why are these people so afraid of women and themselves?

As a dude who'd been struggling with separating his self-esteem from female validation for years, MGTOW was super interesting to me. At first it was pretty much just a support group with some philosophy mixed in, but the message was pretty clear.

Take a step back from society when it gets too much for you, learn who you are before trying to find someone who will love you, and above all learn to be comfortable with yourself so that your happiness is never reliant on another person. You're not a broken person just because you function differently from what society expects from you.

Then when I come back from my self-imposed isolation as a much happier person, I find that the MGTOW label had absorbed all the shitty run-off from the MRA and redpill circles, essentially just becoming an echo chamber for damaged men to complain about women all day, rather than focus on self-improvement.

>>5431016
>Why are these people so afraid of women and themselves?
When you grow up convinced that your worth as a human being is determined by what women think of you, to the point of seriously considering suicide if you go too long without romantic validation, it's hardly unreasonable to be afraid of the person who unknowingly holds your well being in their hands, and yourself for being such a weak willed fuck.

I had never had a bad experience with women personally, my circumstances were mostly caused by introversion and neglect, but I can sympathize with some of the stories I heard, to an extent.

I have been MGTOW for many years and I transitioned to be my own girlfriend. I no longer need women when I have my own breasts to touch.

Is this really a common attitude people have?
>>
While I don't necessarily agree with feminism, MRA is nuts. As perverse as its become now, feminists fought for equality, while many MRA groups are severely misguided if not outright misogynist. There really are some issues men should campaign for however. The US is one of the few major western countries that don't offer our paternity leave for newborns, and divorce and child custody still tend to favor mothers. But these guys Will never champion for those.
>>
>>5430813

I think it's something that doesn't actually require a movement. If you're fed up with women and don't feel like getting into relationships, then don't get into relationships. Countless men the world over fuck around and don't put down roots without having to start a support group about how much they don't like giving women power over them.

I kind of view it like having a movement for Atheism. It seems like it kind of defeats the purpose.

>I can't think of anywhere or anywhen a men's rights movement makes sense.

Why is that? There are serious issues that men face that deserve to have attention drawn to them, and feminism is clearly not equipped to do so--nor should they be expected to do so, for that matter. Suicide rates, workplace death rates, male rape victims, the current "kangaroo court" college climate, the increasingly lopsided-in-favor-of-women education system, prison rape culture, overall male disposability... The list goes on.

Now, if you use that movement as a vehicle to gripe about women instead of talking about and working on solutions to the aforementioned problems, then yeah, that's shitty. But that doesn't mean that such a movement isn't needed.

FANTASTIC ADVICE
>>
>>5430813
I don't think they are anti LGBT.
I used to identify as MGTOW before I turned gay.
I think it is good to define your own reasons to pursue life rather than follow 'the script' so to speak.
>>
>>5430813
I think guys who self-identify as MGTOW are fucking autists who don't realize that in defining themselves by their avoidance of women that are again basing their own worth on women. It's called "Men Going Their Own Way" and then all it is is a series of female teardowns. Nothing about actually being independent of women, nothing that shows the worth of a man in any context except in relation to their biased portrayals of women.

I avoid most women too, but it's not a movement or a statement. I don't put a name on it. It doesn't have rules or codes. I don't recruit and I don't preach unless solicited for my opinions. It does stem from a long string of unsatisfying experiences with women, but I see it as something that causes me disappointment more than anger. The realization that I couldn't truly be happy based on anything but my own satisfaction with my life. For me it really is about defining my own worth. Creating a great life for myself that I can be happy about before worrying about if someone can or should share it with me. So I deal with women (when I have to) in a strictly business or platonic manner. Aside from 1 slip up at the bar with this really cute goth girl I've been celibate for 3 years. In that time I got my shit together and now in my early 20s I've got a house, 2 cars, and a steady job. My life is pretty great no women necessary, but a lack of anger on my part allows me to see a future with me taking a mate if I ever want one.

>>
It could be a positive thing if most of them weren't so dependent of women. They still can't ignore the fact they want female company and society's support. So it feels just pretentious.

Face it, straight men need women. Straight women need men. We need both. It's insane to deny the laws of nature.
>>
>>5431371
Because those issues bear no direct relationship with men's rights or status. What feminism has accomplished as a movement is to make women no longer second-class citizens. Things like the income gap are direct consequences of that former paradigm, they just have too much "inertia" to go away easily.

Men, as a group, do not lack rights or status in any significant way. A "men's rights" movement is ridiculous. There are male-specific problems - there are even some that weren't made up by self-absorbed manchildren - but setting up an MR movement as a kind of "counterpart" to feminism is a totally inappropriate way to address, for example, prison rape. There's a reason these organisations are inevitably filled with neurotic misogynists.

"MGTOW are beta faggot basement dwelling tiny penis losers afraid of strong independent women and marriage. Don't read their posts. Delete their posts."

Actual naive beta faggot losers agree with their gynocentric overloards and post anti-male propaganda against other men as well.

MGTOW laugh at all married men knowing they live under constant fear that their cupcake NAWALT will one day awaken, go AWALT and destroy said men's lives. Anti-male, pro-marriage propagandists hate on MGTOW to stem tide of global mass backlash exodus from marriage. Too little - too late.

Hating men when you've suffered big time from misogyny or have studied misogyny in depth is fairly legitimate.

It's
1. as vicious and disgusting as for instance anti-semitism or racism against blacks (which both have caused heinous crimes on humanity), and
2. actually still continues in like half the world (look at e.g. some Arabic nations) AND even in the most "modern" countries in some forms (look at mainstream porn, and how common rape and harassment is, etc.) and yet being ignored and denied.

I'm a white cis het middle-class dude who's merely somewhat gender non-conforming (I shit on masculinity; it mentally breaks me that I have to conform to it to avoid discrimination) and after just a bit of reading radfem texts I decided that yes, I categorically fucking hate men in this culture. At least the ~14-40 year-old ones who take part in porn culture and are full of themselves.

Not to say there aren't many men I love, like my father, John Stoltenberg, Richard Stallman, many fellow free software and computer science nerds, etc.

And not to say it's a biology or anatomy based hate. It's a socialization/culture based one. Imagine you're a black guy or a black sympathizer living in 1800 USA.

Call me deluded or retarded and see if I give a fuck.

If you ask me, feminism needs some proper, defensive separatism. Those men who are genuinely worthy of inclusion in the movement will be able to prove themselves just fine. Namely, by a lack of childish entitlement and instead a display of genuine understanding of the problems.

It is victim-hood disgused in self improvement and respect.

Yeah there is a problem of the types of responsiblity men need to make for the family and how society has pushed that

At the same time there is a problem of womens perception in society (which is being changed)

Accept that both have problems and be the bigger person and better yourself instead of complaining about how "the feminist did this wah wah wah"


It also comes down to men wanting to be treated like women and women wanting to be treated like men, everyone wants what they cant have, but both are also quick to say the other person cant have any

I think the difference is that feminism was a good thing at one point (i.e. fighting for voting rights for women, pushing against restrictive gender roles) but the MRA movement seems to have been dominated by anti-feminism from the beginning.

The answer is that MGTOW is founded on a negative itself: avoidance of woman. This has caused blanket rants against women. "But many of these rants are accurate, Pook!" So what? A farmer can rant all day about the unfairness of frost, but that will not get him anywhere. There is no cosmic justice out there. The world is what it is and its better to live in it that in a hyper-reality.

We don't want these men in the dating/marriage/gene pool. They can all drop dead for all women care. Good riddance to them."

Countless thousands of threads devoted to MGTOW - just like this one - posted globally annually.

Actual naive beta losers form alliance with their emasculating gynocentric overlords and post anti-male propaganda against other men as well - hoping to curry favor of misandrist rulers. MGTOW laugh at them knowing they live under constant threat of cupcake NAWALT self-actualizing, going AWALT (going her own way) and destroying said men's lives. Anti-male, pro-marriage propagandists hate on MGTOW to stem tide of global mass exodus from marriage. Too late.

Marriage = slavery + life destruction for men. Giving woman ring of power => tens upon tens of millions of men's lives destroyed in US alone. Not your fool. Don't want my genes in the future gene cesspool.

Marriage rate down 60% since 1970. Half of all US adults unmarried. Marriage extinct by 2040. Marriage declining in both good and bad economies. Man hating sploding globally as result. Feminists/cuckservatives form alliance with "Affirmative Consent" to stop drunk sloots from slooting and to put anti-marriage, anti-commitment pump and dump chads away. Countries enacting defacto marriage laws (Cohabitation Rights Bill - UK) to force marriage upon men and to give cohabiting women same rights to asset division, alimony and child support their married counterparts so enjoy. Cohabitation as well as marriage go in steep decline. Women continue self-delusion with naive, beta white-knight boot licking echo chamber support.

Men who are going to choose not to have sex with women, AND then spend their time talking about how women are the cause of every single problem, are really not those who women are going to want to be around in the first place. Straight women feel about them the same way straight men feel about Tumblr SJWs.

>and post anti-male propaganda against other men as well
It's actually the MGTOWs who are pretty anti-male as well. They may not realize it, but generally they accept only one way of being male. If you're not "alpha" or don't aspire to be, you're a "beta mangina white knight cuck" to them.

> AWALT (going her own way)
That's literally not what AWALT means. Unless you think AWALT somehow spells GHOW.

>Marriage rate down 60% since 1970. Half of all US adults unmarried.
Largely due to economic circumstances, and the decline of "traditional values" (which isn't itself a bad thing, it just means people are no longer getting married for the sole purpose of what's essentially peer pressure).

>Marriage extinct by 2040
That sounds like it's based on some kind of linear projection from current trends, which isn't accurate at all - most things follow a cyclical pattern as they search for equilibrium.

>Feminists/cuckservatives form alliance with "Affirmative Consent" to stop drunk sloots from slooting
How is that a bad thing? Aren't you guys opposed to "slooting"?

Do men and women need each other? Not trying to be edgy, but it seems like we've always operated on that assumption and I'm not sure it's relevant anymore. Do men and women each need for the other to exist? Yes, but do they need to co-exist? I don't think so. Not anymore.

It's also patently ridiculous to blame woman-bashing MGTOWs without also recognizing the role that man-bashing feminists (and I do mean only the man-bashing ones) play in the recently formed chasm between the sexes. I get that we're talking specifically about MGTOWs here, but they're two sides of the same hate-filled coin.

It’s a matter of principles, honor, integrity, credibility, and maturity. All male abstractions that women don't understand.

>>5434429
In either case it's only themselves they're affecting. Anyone who listens to an MRA or a militant radfem and thinks "gee, that person's a cunt, so by extension so is everyone else with similar sexual organs" didn't really need the push.

no, they aren't born hating women and then choosing not to pursue them
Their bitterness is born of their inability to attract to opposite sex, not the other way around.
>>
>>5434482
Usually they become bitter and misogynistic before going full MGTOW. It's not something that happens overnight.
>>
>>5434489
Yes, but it all starts with some boy who never learned how to interact with girls naturally, or worse, actually bought in to the "always be nice and polite and respectful to girls!" narrative that gets pushed on boys and thought that treating women like fabrege eggs was the way to get sex.
>>
>>5434501
>thought that treating women like fabrege eggs was the way to get sex.
Well, it seems to me that part of the problem is this attitude some people have that there even IS some kind of foolproof technique that can guarantee any girl you want will have sex with you.
>>
>>5432765
>>5431123
What these guys say sums it up, MGTOW at it's core is a positive movement because men get a lot of pressure to seek validation from females and MGTOW teaches that you should make women one of the last things you think of however it has been shat up by bitter divorcees and virgins.

Yeah in practice it's a good idea but if it actually was used the way its supposed to there wouldn't be such a thing as MGTOW as an identity - you'd base your identity on something other than women. MGTOW in the way it exists today is mostly about still basing your identity around women, just in a different way.

Well it's far less stressful. As a guy there are so many demands to have the "correct" personality which usually boils down to "alpha, confident, tough, unemotional" etc. As a girl the only demand is to look good and changing your appearance is far easier than changing your personality.

Well the winning side is eventually going to be islam and the globalists who fund them in the hopes of having a radicalized muslim public because muslims are easy to control through imams and actively oppose social and personal freedoms making them ideal slaves for the one world government

That's always been a weird incongruency in my understanding of Iran.

I think you're misunderstanding things MGTOW are guys that don't think they have to date women, and get married, have the whole 2.3 kids a house in the suburbs to be happy. So they try other things to be happy.

I used to consider myself MGTOW before I turned gay, and know a lot of other such people. Really should just hear them out instead of judging.

But that's not how they present themselves. People who identify as MGTOW are associated with the stated views of their organisation.

how do you define yourself as a man based on women?

No shit. I browsed mgtow.com. Is this what people are defending? It's like reading a religious website, I can't locate a single rational argument, and I really did try.
>>
>>5434881
Well, most men define themselves by their relationships with women, or so the MGTOWs claim. The MGTOWs define themselves by their refusal to date women.

MGTOW is pretty much a worldwide phenomenon under different names, in Japan it's they're call 'grass eaters'. While I am not one, it makes sense. We've pretty much removed most societal obligations for women, heterosexual men who expect to get into relationships are expected to fill traditional told even under threat of jail.

I used to date women, but the bottom line is that hetero relationships are defined by the gender roles associated with them. Women can be victims at anytime it is like dating a child, they are victims of everything and anything, I don't fuck children, that is wrong dude.

Now I can have sex without feeling guilty though, by being gay.

i have the internet for that, i only expect her to give a good head and make a good sandwich.

>>5435062
That sounds nice, my ex-gf used to give really good head. The obvious problem is that after reading to a lot of feminist writing, I came to the realization that much like a child, she couldn't really consent to sex. After that everytime I had sex with her I would feel more and more guilty. Eventually I apologized to her for taking advantage of her childlike mind, and stopped dating women.

My ex-bf actually gave pretty good head, gay guys really seem to know what they are doing when it comes to giving head.

Any person that can be sent to jail for rape on evidence that is lacking like a woman having his face come to her in a dream, is lacking rights. In general if you can be convicted at a lower standard than beyond a reasonable doubt, that is lacking rights, in a significant way.

So I will have to disagree with you there.

Most of the issues MRMs deal with are more societal than anything. The presumption that men are rapists or child abusers for example. Schools shorting boys and leading to many less boys than girls going to college. Boys not being adopted from foster care because of assumptions about their behavior. Male victims of domestic violence and homelessness getting little or no resources. Those are societal issues were men and boys are being ignored or shortchanged, and someone has to address those.

the feminist movement (and widespread use of the word in the meaning we use today) was born in "1960s and '70s, in the United States" basically the feminists claimed a heritage of the suffragettes but as with all their claims it is largely bullshit.
in the early 1900s when the universal suffrage was "fought" the word feminism had a different meaning it did not had political or cultural charge.
what feminists accomplished is pretty much affirmative action. which in turn is the very mockery of the equal opportunity the suffragettes sought.
>>
>>5435466
also worth mentioning that universal suffrage was more than about women's right to vote and them not being second class citizens. not so long before not even all men were able to vote and voting rights of other races were still in question in between.

so all in all it was one big step or a series of stumbles that the entire world pretty much did together however you want to see it not some epic fight the women waged against their oppressors as feminists want you to believe.

>in the early 1900s when the universal suffrage was "fought" the word feminism had a different meaning it did not had political or cultural charge.
What did feminism mean at the time?

it meant something like feminine or feminine mannerism something like that awfully trivial compared to how loaded the word became of late.
>>
you could say that there are two kinds of feminists equal opportunity feminists (whom i really thing should find a new name cause this one became toxic) and equal outcome feminists (the so called cultural marxists) who are the intellectual heir too the radical feminists of the self proclaimed "second wave" which was pretty much the first wave as far as i'm concerned) and they are the ones doing the damage ever since. they are attacking and eroding the very fundaments of western society: free speech; equality before law; presumption of innocence. they are attacking these concepts and some other important liberties ones that are not part of the big 3 constantly since the 70's and lately we are seeing it reaching hysteric levels with the slut-walkers and campus banshees.
feminism became much like religion it does not allow for critique it does not even allow for dissent it does not allow for questioning or debating it's claims. hell it doesn't even allow for questioning or debating other claims it doesn't likes.
basically feminism became a cancer.

So according to feminists less men in college than women is not an issue that society should address since men do worse in school, they think men are dumb, so don't deserve to go to college.

They ignore studies that show teachers are biased against boys, keeping tight to the idea that boys do badly at school because they choose to slack off. If the tables were reversed it would be because schools are biased against girls, but it boys do worse is because they are slackers or stupid. Not an issue
>>
>>5435697
"boys are slackers" nice more?

>>5430813
The only relevant questions concerning MGTOW is how did it happen and how do we make it (and other gender-based radical groups) unhappen not through force or conditioning, but through showing men and women how to love or at least respect each other again? Seriously, what brought us as a people to the point where we're seeing increased extremism in every facet of society?

>taking their ball and going home
No, actually going your own way is taking your ball and going home. Making the decision to withdraw yourself from the dating pool without making a fuss or trying to make a statement or putting some faggy name on it is taking your ball and going home.

MGTOW is like them taking their ball, going home, and then throwing the ball directly at your face from the protection of their front yard. They may be fucking immature idiots, but they still care on some level which is better than guys who adopt the lifestyle rather than the name and the anti-female rhetoric.

Let me guess, you don't like feminism. Does that make you anti-woman? No? Then there's no reason why anyone is obligated to like MRAs either. Doesn't mean they have anything against men or think that their problems aren't real. Some MRAs do seem more concerned with fighting the perceived evils of feminism than in actually helping men, and there is quite a bit of overlap with the r9k/PUA/manosphere crowd which really only cares about men who are or want to be "alpha". So it really shouldn't be surprising that MRA has negative connotations for a lot of people.

I don't think they seem very anti-LGBT, they just get all defensive and "W-we are NOT gay! I swear!!!", but with all the real homophobia going around in the real world, those don't even take points away from them.

I think they're okay. I think it's a sensible choice for a straight man to have. Really, it's getting to the point that straight men are becoming oppressed. Both socially and legally, a true systematic oppression. Avoiding women as much as they can really does reduce the problem for them.

Being gay I don't really like being around women, so I sort of passively MGTOW anyway...
>>
>>5436016
The thing is relationships are a trade and men have the job of actually running after women to get with them. Feminism is putting so many obstacles in the way that a lot of men are starting to feel it's just not worth it.

To be completely honest, I do think this is a good thing ... for now. We really need to bring the population down a lot. Like we could be doing very well with 15% of our current population.

The only problem is that underdeveloped cultures are not affected by this as much, so all that happens is that the people you WANT to reproduce aren't going to and suddenly mohammeds make up 80% of the population and they want your head...


But a good "band-aid" for the situation would be governmental incentives to married couples of middle and upper class who have children (like, I don't know, 50% reduced taxes or something).

True regards third wave feminism which is anti-liberty, anti-empowerment, anti-men and has no fucking factual basis when they call victim on whatever they're whining about this time.
>Then there's no reason why anyone is obligated to like MRAs either.
There's no fucking reason for the term MRA to be equal to 30 year old virgin chauvinist pig. Absolutely none. If there is please do tell me. As far as I know their goals are very clear cut, I've never ran into an MRA that can't point out to clear list of inequalities that they are trying to iron out. I'm not even part of their demographic but I can totally get behind stuff they do in regards
>equal custody rights
>right to genital integrity
>equal access to domestic abuse shelters
>equal protection from military drafting
>disparity in convictions for same crimes purely based on gender
>young men suicide rates
and so on. There are some more ambiguous ones like the ability to opt out of parenthood the same way women can and men being the victim of >95% of workplace deaths. I haven't put more thought into those last two so I don't know how accurate that shit is but the stuff I listed earlier is infinitely better than anything the spinning-our-wheels-in-the-mud third wave feminism is trying to advocate for whatever the fuck that is.


I'm far from an MRA, not being a man myself, but I'd still consider myself an anti-feminist because feminists want me to censor women in my own art and disempower me from doing what I want with my own body. r9k is a joke in and of itself but what do they actually try to do other than whine about tfwnogf on message boards? Absolutely fucking nothing, it's not even a real movement and when you talk to political MRA's first thing they do is try and disassociate themselves with the womanhaters.

Men are not allowed to opt out of a child. At all. They have no choice. If they refuse to pay for it, they'll even get thrown in jail. If they CAN'T pay for it, they'll get thrown in jail all the same.

The only way to "opt out of parenthood" is to try and have the girl abort.

Also, if the girl doesn't want to abort, she has a myriad of ways of hiding the child from you and even putting it up to adoption WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.


Workplace deaths is not something they could complain about, desu. Men die in the workplace because men do the dangerous jobs, women refuse to do dangerous jobs so women die less. It makes no sense to put this as a gender issue.

I guess that was a bad example for an ambiguous one. Maybe disparity in breast cancer funding and prostate cancer funding is a better example. The kill rates are the same but it's probably because breast cancer has gotten so much funding that the levels are now equal? I don't know for sure so can't say yay or nay.

Last I checked breast cancer was the type of cancer least likely to kill you and prostrate cancer gets hundreds of deaths a year. The deaths are nowhere near the same, nor is the rate at which people gets these (prostrate cancer both happens more often and is more lethal).

It does receive only a speck of the funding breast cancer does, though.

Pic related is what I could find on short google search. It's not as bad as I remember it being, though.

>>5436226
Gotta keep in mind most victims of either cancer are not exactly in their 20's. There are less men in the age groups that are prone to those cancers so there's probably more or less the equal amount of deaths caused by both cancers.

It does show some bias in how public views the issues, I mean there was a huge drive for breast cancer research and funding in the past several decades and there still is. Generated money interest in the field results in better treatment, everyone likes tits except gay men and nobody likes prostates but gay men, smaller demographic for publicity yo.

>clear list of inequalities that they are trying to iron out

They aren't trying to iron out shit. They're just a bunch of screaming manbabies who blame feminism for everything that's a result of patriarchal gender stereotypes that radical feminists have been fighting literally for decades.

>equal custody rights
It's a gender-stereotype-gone-real phenomenon that men are like a gazillion times more likely to abuse children. That is, it's a patriarchal stereotype of men that they have to be abusive and loveless, and since many men conform to this it also leads to the situation that giving men custody can be a Very Bad Idea a lot of the time. The solution is not to scream at feminists and whine, it's to abolish men's adoption of patriarchal stereotypes.

>right to genital integrity
It's a medical fact that male circumcision has relatively neutral outcome, statistically. FGM on the other hand is a heinous crime on women; it's akin to chopping off a guy's whole dick and not comparable to male circumcision. Therefore, you should not be surprised that feminists are more concerned with FGM. And even if this were unjust, the solution would again not be to scream at feminists as if they are the ones circumcising males; it would be to complain to those who actually do/endorse the male circumcision.

>equal access to domestic abuse shelters
Feel free to open up domestic abuse shelters for men. But if you want men to get access to women's shelters, you are a fucking idiot, the whole point of shelters is to keep the abusive husbands out.

>equal protection from military drafting
War is patriarchy.

>disparity in convictions for same crimes purely based on gender
Gender stereotypes.

>young men suicide rates
Expectations of masculinity.

but no really it's simply not true there are no "patriarchal" gender stereotypes for starters this idea only exists in feminist heads gender stereotypes were as much if not more created by women as by men.
>giving men custody can be a Very Bad Idea a lot of the time
misrepresenting facts: actually real statistics show that children are most likely abused by the step dad mommy grabs onto after she gets custody, not their own dad.
>It's a medical fact that male circumcision has relatively neutral outcome, statistically
yeah check again, unaesthetic scar tissue, unintended variation in color in 60% deformity and severe loss of sensation up to 30% (depending on where they are doing it and how) i wish i had that infopic.
all to combat the less than 1% chance that the child might need a circumcision later on because of some infection and phymosis (2% occurrence rate). it's simply unjustifiable medically. fgm is just as abhorrent as circumcision and if they cut a little off an unconsenting babys nose or a big chunk it's not all the same?
>the whole point of shelters is to keep the abusive husbands out.
except the majority of times the physical violence is initiated by the women they just tend to pull the short straw in a fight some men can't or don't fight back and they are abused the same as women are by men exactly the same. fucking gender bias is everywhere with feminists

well about marital rape my cents are: if you don't want the sex the divorce you are free to do so.
sometimes i don't want the sex but gf is horny and jumps on my dick even tho i say "nooo leave me alone" cause all i want is to sleep but she takes advantage of the morning wood. then there are times when she just want to sleep but i'm really horny and i grab her ass and she gets to say "noh noh lemme sleep" but you know if she don't like the d then she can move out any time. not to mention the hundred thousand times when we did sexual stuff without explicit verbal or written consent.
now i could look at it as rape, but i think that would be quiet retarded. either we both are fucking rapists or this bullshit is not rape.

well of course there is a third possibility - it would be a fallacy to say you can only have it one way or an other - that it is indeed rape but not all rape are bad rape.

it is totally a thing. last time when gf came home drunk as a skunk she started nuzzling my dick thru my pants so i pulled out my dick and put it in her mouth. she started sucking it then she was like "wu awe rafin meee" so i put it in deeper so she can't talk stupid things.

>In a stance rejecting discrimination, a 2009 study for the Department of Labour by the CONSAD Research Corporation concluded, "it is not possible now, and doubtless will never be possible, to determine reliably whether any portion of the observed gender wage gap is not attributable to factors that compensate women and men differently on socially acceptable bases, and hence can confidently be attributed to overt discrimination against women." The conclusion was based largely on a study by Eric Solberg & Teresa Laughlin (1995), who found that "occupational selection is the primary determinant of the gender wage gap" (as opposed to discrimination) because "any measure of earnings that excludes fringe benefits may produce misleading results as to the existence magnitude, consequence, and source of market discrimination."

No it's not, because if it was I'd be completely justified in peeling your face off for even suggesting that war and patriarchy are equal on any plane.

You're highlighting their stated goal not their actual actions.

There is a gaping chasm of difference between not worshipping the vagina and focusing everything you do around the idea that vagina-owners are vapid, stupid, and greed. It's not just something that comes up every now and then. It's a prevailing theme of the group.

i agree tho if you take the mgtow and mra fags out of context which is a reactionary movement or activism in contrast to or against feminism, they are pretty damn retarded and dangerous looking.
the fact why feminists see them as misogynist whiners is because they can't possible see what is wrong with their movement and absolutely blind and deaf to critique of their actions and ideas or can't even comprehend the notion that anyone could critique them so they are seeing the movements out of context.

me thinks they are the same in a way if the mgtow movement got widespread political backing they would evolve to be the same beast as feminism. i used to think feminists were harmless and i think mgtow is harmless for now this can change with time of course.

The more I learn about the theory, the more I realize "the patriarchy" is just an incredibly convenient means of ensuring that women are never held as responsible for any ills against men (because other men are responsible for all of society's ills).

All problems women face are the result of men.
All problems men face are the result of men.

It's hard not to see why so many feminists are explicitly man-hating if this serves as the foundation of their entire ideology.

Some are fucking autistic and think women are this global conspiracy
But the less autistic ones make great points.

It's usually just about objectively weighting your options and realizing getting married and staying monogomaus in this day and age is just to dangerous to their future. With divorce, child custody and social nudging to appease women. (Get good job, have kids, give her money, so on)
Most I've heard don't go celibate but just have hookups and friends with benefits.
They just want live not married and focus on their career and their own interests. Not so much avoid women.

Observe, if you will, the fucktards in this thread as representatives of the various men's movements. Observe the material on the organisations' websites. All they do is bitch about women and feminism. I haven't seen one person bring up and earnestly argue for the rectification of some violation or other of men's rights, even though doing so would go a long way towards justifying their group's existence. No, an offhand comment made here or there then quickly dropped, and some tangential remarks made in the course of laying into feminism. They define their entire system around their enemies, rather than identifying the issues at stake and then working towards a solution. There's a sociological word for that, it's called backlash. They will never be a legitimate civil rights movement, they will never gain real power, they will never be respected, because they have no independent identity. They are, forever and always, a subsidiary, one of the various ticks hanging off feminism's backside, along with the militant radfems and assorted other minority crackpots.

It doesn't work that way m8. If you make assertions you need to provide evidence to back them up. Let me try to hammer this in for you: if I assert that women are just dumb shits and that's why we dont go to STEM fields

>realizing getting married and staying monogomaus in this day and age is just to dangerous to their future.

I kinda agree with them on that because I've seen guys getting destroyed after a divorce.

There's just one thing that's keeping me from taking them seriously, and it is that not once I've seen anyone on that site even consider that maybe some women want to get a divorce because the men they are married to are just shitty husbands.

Of course, women can just be shitty people too, but I feel like the men there think it's always the woman's fault when a divorce happens, while the man is always the victim. And I find that just dumb.

The legal system is pretty fucked up and it tends to make it easier for women in that regard, especially with custody and alimony stuff, I won't deny that. But I've heard feminists say they think that's wrong, too, and that both men and women should be treated equally when it comes to that. Although I guess it's possible they're just a minority.
>>
>>5437489
>So I suppose this means that you agree that making such comparisons is worthless

I think it's great that some men decided not to base their self worth around being married, or their relationship with women in general -as long as they keep it civil.

But the site is mostly a circle jerk of guys who hate women because they got treated badly by one (with 'treated badly' going from getting fucked up after a divorce to someone refusing to go on a date with them).

It's just sad, really.

I don't have time to educate a bunch of retards on topics on which tons of books have been written over decades.

Sociology doesn't work like mathematics where pure abstract logic and self-determined definitions are all you need, nor physics, or chemistry where you can test things in a lab environment. You can't put one whole test nation and one whole control nation into a pair of lab tubes and watch their behavior as you change culture variables in the tubes.

This childish clinging to "m-m-muh evidence" when people are simply informing you of a viewpoint that has been established over decades and has actually been accepted in sociology academia, is extremely childish and intellectually immature.

>hate towards a group of people for arbitrary reasons they cant affect like gender, race or sexuality is always wrong
If that hate has net positive or neutral utilitarian merit, then you have no reason to call it wrong.
In this society, a woman who categorically hates men might just make more right decisions on average, because men are hateworthy so often you can just hate them by default and only make exceptions to not hate them.

Damn, I never thought I'd legitimately defend categorical hate against men, but it's going pretty smooth. Not even trolling, just seeing how far I can go with this until I have to backpedal. So far, nobody made a convincing argument against categorical hate of men.

>Hating an oppressed group for the signs of their oppression means long-term net negative merit.

I'm not interested in long-term net negative merit (which you haven't actually proved; saying "duh" isn't an argument). I'm interested in the positive utilitarian merits that outweigh the neutral or negative utilitarian merits of avoiding contact with or proximity to blacks. What do I stand to gain, and how is it worth what I stand to lose (my safety and/or my life).

Since when is it wrong to put the actions of the 1% on the whole of that group. We do it to whites with slavery and genocide of PoC's and we do it to Muslims who blow shit up. Both sides do it and yet both sides complain when the other does. What's the problem and can't we agree to just both do it?

I'm not opposed to the CLAIMED objectives of the men's rights movements, but it seems that a lot of those who identify as such are just plain misogynists, saying things like giving women the right to vote was the worst thing we ever did. And they seem more focused on fighting against feminism than actually helping men, there's a lot of overlap with the PUA community where they look down on any man who isn't "alpha", any even slightly effeminate man is labeled a mangina cuck regardless of whether they support feminism or not. And I seem to recall there was some prominent member of some MRA group who said that if they were on a jury for a rape trial they would vote not guilty even if there was overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, solely to "compensate" for the allegedly high numbers of innocent people accused of rape and sentences for it.

>>5436741
Unless one specifically agrees to terms that marriage means they give up their right to not consent to sex, that's not how it works. Maybe that's how you see things, but most people don't see it that way. Consent is something that has to be given every time, it's not something to be assumed unless for some reason people make a contract that says so. And yes, if your wife makes you have sex when you're unwilling, you most certainly should be able to call that rape.

Anyone can wear the label but the people who actually do the activism are a different group entirely.

first off, we know only the recent history of humans well enough maybe for a hundred thousand years women were the boss.
secondly the proverb "Behind every great man there's a great woman" which many put the origins of well before feminist movement has some truth in it. women always exercised power indirectly by manipulating their men. and in many cases they exercised power directly.
thirdly men all through history looked at their own accomplishment as how it would appeal to the women they were trying to impress.
there was a not so clear cut balance of power between the genders that went way beneath the "whos wearing the boss hat?"

I'd say being denied the right to vote or own property (even in circumstances when one would have been able to do so if they were a man), and laws that made it fully legal for your husband to rape you, count as "suffering".
>>
>>5437921
nah it was considered in the old times a duty to do the sex for both parties. it was not only the women forced or pressured into it but the men too.
i keep to my previous statement. i don't think the definition of rape is correct. and thus i don't think anyone can be raped in a relationship or wedlock.
since nobody forces you to marry anyone and you can have a divorce any time. you are not forced to stay in a marriage where you don't consent to the sex.
being in a sexual relationship means you consent to the sex. if you withdraw your consent you do it by ending your relationship. and then it's just plain vanilla rape. same as any other.
but about the definition of rape... rape as it was understood back in the days was a viscous physical assault where their life was in danger and that often left women dead or with severe injuries.

rape today is you have sex and she regrets it and remembers she didn't explicitly say yes to everything you were doing, bamm rape! and that's bullshit.

>being in a sexual relationship means you consent to the sex
No, it doesn't. What if you enjoy being in a relationship but you don't want to have sex right this moment? It's rape unless you actually have a signed contract that says you surrender your right to withdraw consent. If being in a relationship literally meant someone could have sex with you whenever they wanted regardless of how you felt about it, relationships wouldn't be very common at all. The fact that there are apparently men who think like this may well explain why marriage is becoming less popular these days. I know I wouldn't want to enter an arrangement where I give someone the right to stick things in my body whenever he wants without my consent.

Women were allowed to own property. However, when a woman is married her property and the husbands property are the same. So the title went into the husbands name because women were no subject to taxation. Women enjoyed the benefits of the state without paying for it. They also didn't have to serve in the military for it. The majority of men at the time couldn't even vote so really women as a whole were better off than the majority of men.

Which is what you will always see. A few men will be at the top. All women will be in the middle and then a lot of men will be at the bottom. Think about why society lets so many men be homeless and how little we care to help them.

Again, it's at least partly due to patriarchal attitudes. Men are "SUPPOSED" to be self-sufficient and not need help, while women are "supposed" to be dependent. Which means that homeless women are seen as in need of help, while homeless men are just seen as lazy and deserving of their fate.

No, no, you are lying. The only reason you are disregarding what a "patriarchal society" REALLY means, as in when it is used by historians, it's because the ideology you adhere to is completely submerged in post-structuralism and post-structuralism basic premise is that "the discourse determines sociablity", or in a simple way, DISCOURSE > REALITY. As feminism nowadays is completely taken over by this school of thought, it directly affect the things the ideology adherents say and speak, and using this philosophical basis, feminism take words and change and expand their meaning far beyond what is reasonable. So if historians used the term "patriarchy" to refer to a society that it is legally structured around the male having most legal obligations, now "feminist" philosophers and social scientists create the "sociological theory of patriarchy", that tries to explain the relations between genders in marxist-perspectivist freudian psychoanalytical premises, and the disenformed masses that consider themselves feminists just go along repeating words like "patriarchy" without a deeper philosophical insight. You may not know, but the you are assuming philosophical and epistemological premises in what you are saying here. Some of them doesnt hold up to intelectuall scrutiny. Of course, if you told me that we used to live in a patriarchal society, and some things regarding gender relations are still tainted by how our society used to be structured, it would be a whole different game, and I would be inclined to agree with you. You should read what Susan Haack writed about "feminist" epistemology.

>Yeah, but for pretty much all of human history women haven't had those rights. It's not like human history began in 1850.
Pretty much though all of human history men didn't have the right to vote either.

You don't vote in a monarch. Voting for government leadership is a pretty modern concept.

they are okay

>Yeah, but for pretty much all of human history women haven't had those rights. It's not like human history began in 1850.
pretty much all of human history was a huge mess of oppression and men didn't had the same rights either. every man and woman was property to the crown or to their liege. if not legally then in practice because if you opened your mouth you were smacked down so hard you couldn't even walk after.
women's right to own property and thus vote where it was voting rights varied by time and place. there were times an influential woman had to marry some puppet husband to hold on to her property and in the name the poor sod might have been the master sure but make no mistake them bitches were formidable and viscous and the owned men often enough and what men did to the women under them was nothing compared to what women did to women under them.
we males see this all the time the ones that shame and hurt women most are other women.

>And how is genocide collective benefit? Was the harm the Jews were causing to German really of greater equivalent value than the loss of millions of lives?
I dont think any bigotry is okay and I dont subscribe to the collective benefit over human rights (or any other moral absolute for that matter). I don't go full libertarian on the other end either. For example I don't think taxes are unjustified as long as they provide a collective benefit.
>>
>>5438016
Patriarchy cannot be a system to benefit men over women but also a system were men are the majority victims of violence murder, homelessness etc.
>>
>>5438019
Democracies existed in ancient times, and even among the class that was allowed to vote, it was only men that could vote, not women. And it was the same in the middle ages - within the ruling class, the power was mainly held by men, not women.
>>
>>5438034
>cannot be a system to benefit men over women
That was not the intention behind creating patriarchal society.
>>
>>5438036
And yet, still, most men did NOT have the rights to vote or the say in political matters. Women in the nobility had A LOT of political power. You really need to stop spreading noise and start actually reading books or something.
>>
>>5438047
I'm not saying that every women was worse off than every man. And claiming I said that is strawmanning. What I AM saying is that all other things being equal (e.g. within the same social class), men had more power than women.
>>
>>5438039
How is a patriarchal society even "created"? What you are saying is just so, so, bizarre and out of touch of most specialized fields in anthropology and history. Societies, religions, gender roles, aren't "just created", they are really complex and to think that a society is simply "created" is a weird type of creationism or something.
>>
>>5438061
Okay, I should say it "arises" or "is formed" rather than "created". I didn't mean to imply it was created instantaneously or anything. What I mean is that people didn't just sit down one day and decide to create a societal structure to oppress women, it's more just something that occurred on its own.
>>
>>5438006
>It's rape unless you actually have a signed contract that says you surrender your right to withdraw consent.
i firmly believe marriage or even having sex and moving in together is such a contract. unspoken but pretty self explanatory.
i also firmly believe that if somebody says you to stop for any reason you should stop unless you are playing some kinky stuff with safe words. but i also know it's not always so clear cut. if you get the feel of a serious no you back off if you sense it's a no that can be worked around then you try on and no it's not rape. persistence and trying is not rape at all.

if i truly used my physical advantage to overpower my gf and put it in, after she told me to fuck off, that is like a grey area i would not be comfortable moving into. if she told me we are "done" and i should gtfo now that would be rape for sure if i continue.

and that's about how i see this stuff.
>>
>>5438006
>Don't you think it's a bit misogynistic to basically say "rape isn't real"?
it's the story off the boy who cried wolf too many times that comes to mind. if you start calling sill shit rape instead of real rape only people will not take rape seriously.
>>
>>5438011
>Collective benefit IS a valid justification if it's true.
It's not inherently correct just because people value the benefits and disadvantages individually. Either way, I think it's a good guideline that collective benefit does not justify bigotry towards gender, race, sexuality etc. To give a really crude example:
>taxing is okay as long as the tax money is spent well
good

bad

I'm sorry, this is questionable. You are using a very difficult thing to define, "power". A more close study of history doesnt allow for your conclusion. A lot of societies women had even more power then men, legally. But is tedious to discuss with someone who starts with a premise and goes along just trying to prove it.
>>
>>5438091
feminist dogma is based on the universal victim-hood of women and them being oppressed by patriarchy.
you can't even comprehend a single thing they are saying let alone argue against if you not believe in it cause everything else is just a misrepresentation of facts and sweeping generalizations from this premise.
>>
>>5438065
Men where opresses too. A lot. A lot, a lot. I mean, I myself reject completely this "opression" newspeak some humanities students like to use nowadays, but I will go along and say that yeah, women were opresses in a specifically way, and so were men. Women in a more restrictive way, and men in a astounding amount and unjustifiable legal obligations. You should read read a history book on the development on western legal thought development, it might do some good to you. But you really need to get away from ideology if you are honest about your inquiries.

The problem with unspoken contracts is that not everyone is aware on what the terms are.

>persistence and trying is not rape at all.
It depends on how persistent you are. If you're persistent enough that you get totally annoying about it and don't let her get anything done otherwise, that is manipulating her into having sex and so that is rape.

>>5438076
And most people don't call "sill shit" rape. From what I can tell, you're accusing women of being "the boy who cried wolf" without any reason or basis.

>>5438078
>>taxing black people is okay as long as the tax money is spent well

Only because there's no specific justification for doing it. If taxing black people but not white people was somehow more beneficial than taxing everyone, then yes taxing black people would be justified.

Again, only the ruling class could vote. But only the men of the ruling class could vote - only a small amount of men had legal/political power - but no women at all had such power.

not at all, feminist definition of rape is basically calling wolf erry time when there is none around
it's not without basis, the women who came forward that they were raped based on this blatantly impractical and misandrist definition of rape are the very proof i have.

also not that many countries laws still define rape as an act that men performs on women therefore a women can't legally commit rape. wtf? it's 2015 hell it's 2016!
yet i have seen no "muh equality" feminist protesting about these blatantly discriminating laws not once! they are perfectly fine with it.

It seems to me that the concept that is referred to when feminists bring up "Patriarchy" may exist, but that the term "Patriarchy" is an extremely loaded and ultimately misleading one that doesn't do an accurate job of transmitting the underlying idea (that a very small percentage of people will lord power over a much larger percentage of people by encouraging them to conform to certain predictable social norms).

If your leading argument is "men are oppressors and hold all the power", and the guy you're talking to has lived his entire life on the bottom rungs of society, got fucked over at every opportunity, and had a mother that was emotionally/physically abusive, he's going to be rather justified in thinking you're full of shit. Describing the phenomenon in a way that doesn't seem deliberately designed to drive an ideological wedge between men and women would go a long way towards making the argument more persuasive to a larger number of people, as they will then be able to draw upon shared experiences rather than feeling personally attacked for something that they themselves have never visibly benefited from.

>>5438143
that rape is any sexual act that is either not explicitly consented to or the person doing the consenting might have been in some way incapacitated from "real consent" like drinking which is like how 90% of the hookup and sex starts.
while it sounds good on paper in practice it makes everyone a rapist men and women alike. it also "empowers" women to decide if it was rape or not after the fact when they are reevaluation the previous night in the morning light.
also the feminist notion of the woman always tells the truth about rape and must be believed unconditionally and the installment of a secondary court where burden of proof falls to the accused is completely mindbogglingly idiotic.

bonus point: men who claim they were raped are cruelly ridiculed and silenced by feminists especially.

Women were not forbidden from taking jobs as miners.

Now this is an interesting one.
>>
>>5438172
they are in my country only men can be miners
yet i see no protesting from women
well fortunately in my country radical feminism did not take deep roots yet but i bet this will not be the first on their agenda.
even tho i think it's fucking sexist, i think women should be allowed in combat roles in fact encouraged. they are after all better suited to modern warfare in many regards.
they may be pretty good shots since they shake less better fine motor skills whatnot they deal with physical trauma better (evidently testosterone kills you fast if you get shot) they are lighter and smaller more can be transported maybe in the same vehicle. even handle g forces better which makes them potentially good pilot candidates if their spatial orientation is okay.
>>
>>5438188

I'm well aware of that. Note how recently, historically speaking, that law came into being.

Of course, women being forbidden from taking grueling, life-threatening jobs for their own safety is just another example of the patriarchy at work (rather than, say, female privilege).

There are a lot of problems with introducing women into combat roles extensively that would need to be addressed, and not all of them to do with matters of biology.

>>5438196
>Of course, women being forbidden from taking grueling, life-threatening jobs for their own safety is just another example of the patriarchy at work (rather than, say, female privilege).
Technically, all gendered privileges come from the patriarchy. Talking about them as distinct things is silly.

Did you somehow miss the part where they were paid less for their grueling work and eventually excluded because somehow working hard made them "unfit mothers"? Because laying the value of a woman based on her ability to shoot out babies is really super female privelege.
>>
>>5438220

>Did you somehow miss the part where they were paid less for their grueling work

Because they were capable of less, obviously. Women and children are not going to be capable of performing the same degree of physical labor as an adult male.
>>
>>5438220
>to shoot out babies is really super female privelege
now that is one privileged they can keep as far as i'm concerned.
>>
>>5438224
young boys would easily outperform women
young girls would do wtf exactly in a mine?
>>
>>5438203
i know this text as many suggested these will be easily mitigated by all-women fighting groups. they would be able to drag each other to safety they could defecate in front of each other like men do etc...
the only problem is the weight of the combat gear women would need some serious reduction to function to the same effectiveness and avoid damage buildup.
but that is doable as far as modern technology goes hell soon exos might be a thing and a woman could flip over a humveee if she wants to.
i think we should send them fight those sandniggers. it would be educational.
>>

that's the only thing women can do that men can't.

>that doesn't do an accurate job of transmitting the underlying idea (that a very small percentage of people will lord power over a much larger percentage of people by encouraging them to conform to certain predictable social norms).


But that's not the underlying idea of 'Partriarchy'. Patriarchy is the vast majority of society both conforming and pressuring others to conform to norms that significantly advantage a portion of the population at the expense of the rest of the population. Feminists tend to see patriarchy as a thing that ALL men inflict on ALL women (though most acknowledge that many women perpetuate ideas and attitudes that contribute to the patriarchy. Somehow this doesn't mean that they're actually partially responsible, of course).

They often acknowledge that men are harmed by the patriarchy, such as through the expectations that society has of men (success, stoicism, appearance). Some will even acknowledge that women contribute by holding men to these expectations. Somehow that doesn't translate into women holding any actual responsibility for the harm done to men because of these societal expectations.

In the end, there's no monolithic 'patriarchy' to fight. Patriarchy means different things to different feminists. TERFs see transwomen as an expression of the patriarchy, and see them as men feeling entitled to 'appropriate' womanhood or female-only spaces. More sane feminists see trans-exclusionary attitudes as an expression of the patriarchy.

Ultimately, there is no patriarchy. There's no central societal attitude or philosophy from which oppression springs. There's no single root cause or ideal that can be removed to cause society to somehow fall into place as... shit, I'm not even sure what the model society is for feminists. The goal is not even complete egalitarianism for many feminists (though it is for the best among them).

>>5438392
Oppression is, was, and will continue to be a patchwork of simple ideas, which feminism has been picking away at one thread at a time since the 1800's. Assumptions that people made (and in many cases continue to make) like 'a woman's place is in the home' and 'women aren't good at math' and 'it's a wife's duty to obey her husband' came together to create societies where women have been significantly disadvantaged when compared to men.

The positive contribution of feminism to our society has been in removing those attitudes. It wasn't done by fighting some nebulous idea of patriarchy, but by fighting SPECIFIC battles for SPECIFIC rights, one at a time, over the course of more than a century. It's the same pattern with the LGBT rights movement. We can't fight homophobia directly, but we've challenged and overcome assumptions like 'being gay is a choice' and 'homosexuals are mentally ill' and 'gay people are extremely rare'. Just as with those attitudes that resulted in the oppression of women, we haven't eliminated these attitudes entirely, but we have reduced the number of people that have internalized them and convinced most people (in western societies) to adopt healthy attitudes about LGBT people.

What most feminists refuse to acknowledge, however, is that there are also opinions and attitudes that significantly disadvantage MEN. They blame any situation where men are at a disadvantage on patriarchy (ultimately meaning men). Both men and women hold opinions like 'Women can't really rape men' and 'If they're in prison, they deserve it' and 'It's a man's duty to die for his country' and 'It's never okay for a man to hit a woman, even in self-defense' and 'Virgin men are losers'.

These are the opinions that mens' rights activists (the portion that aren't legitimate misogynists) are fighting to change. And that fight is legitimate, no matter how much feminists try to belittle MRAs.

>i would argue that feminists lost every actual fight they picked so far.

Voting rights, equal access to education, women in the workplace, full property rights for married women, the tender years doctrine, abortion rights... I could go on. Feminists won a lot of fights. Maybe you didn't think of these because they all seem obvious to you, as if women have always had these rights in society. That's another battle feminism has won.
>>
>>5438481
those were not fights.
the world was pretty much ready for it anyways.
pushing totalitarian agendas against the libertarian institutions of the west now that's a fight.
and i hope they will lose bad.

yeah but there was no fight because there wasn't anyone or any organization actively working against woman's custody rights.
some chick started whining about muh children and the fine gentlemen fell over each other to wipe her tears off.
>>
>>5438660
I don't see any organization actively working to keep the draft or support male on male prison rape. It takes effort to change society, even on subjects nobody actually cares about, because most people are incredibly risk-averse and will err on the side of not allowing change.
