Don't tell me you actually took this seriously?

It's so over the top it reads like a fucking tumblr blog. It's making fun of the "check your privilege" types.

>>47215678
Then how come everything he says in the song is completely true, huh?

>>47215652
nah, the song is clearly satirical of the SJW type, it contrasts common superstitions of bringing bad luck with being a straight white male in america, making a point that the so called privilege that Sean has is little more than just that, a cultural superstition

>>47215678
It's as serious as any other AJJ song, which is to say it's not very, but still definitely has earnesty in it

>>47215704
Actually the white man is the most oppressed in the western world. You sound like a feminazi shill.

>>47215678
Pfffff, no way

It's making a statement, more or less. It's them more or less checking their own privilege, so to speak. I doubt they're even aware of tumblr sjws.

That's the whole point of the song

>>47215717
The funny thing is that you couldn't be more wrong. I know this might seem like a parody to a /pol/tard, but it's actually completely sincere.

and until you do nothing you do will matter

I can accept the fact that there are some people who are blind to social prejudices and I can accept that there are some people who don't understand that the song is about white privilege actually existing. But I refuse to believe that anybody could be stupid enough to claim to be an AJJ fan and think they're in any way joking. The song is hyperbolic and humorous, sure, but it's also sincere.

I'm also seeing them in Chicago in July. I'm so hyped.

>Says not a sjw

I'm not a racist but black people are more likely to mug you.

>>47215855
Your opinion is less worthwhile on these issues because you don't experience them the same way as those who experience racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.
Or to put it in a different way: you'd listen to someone who's worked at say McDonald's opinion on being a McDonald's employee more than somebody who's eaten at McDonald's before

>>47215873
Yes, it's about a version of privilege that exists in the public consciousness
But the crucial part of the song is this

>I've got a pile of broken mirrors and I'm walking under ladders
>and I'll spill a ton of salt because to me that doesn't matter.
>'Cus my skin and my gender and my orientation
>are the best things to have when you live in this nation.

He's talking about superstitions of bringing bad luck, superstitions that people once commonly believed
And then directly contrasting them with the more modern superstitions, superstitions of privilege
i.e. privilege is modern society's version of ancient and outdated superstitions

THAT is the point of the song

What song is this anyway?

>>47215946

>>47215921

To all the retards who think that this song is a "SJW" parody:

>Especially the song American Tune from the record "Knife Man". Can you tell us more about that song?

>Sean: That's probably the most truthful I've ever been in a song.

>I've noticed recently that in live shows, Sean has replaced a lot of lyrics that could be construed as misogynistic (changing it to "deep down in your balls" in "We Didn't Come Here To Rock" comes to mind), and has outright stopped playing songs like Lady Killer. Has this been a conscious decision, in line with songs like American Tune? If so, that's punk rock as hell.

>Preston: yes, exactly, that is a conscious decision.

There's nothing appealing about AJJ's "social justice music" when it's all just cliche social justice phrases put in song form. I'm all for fighting for equality and listening to music that expresses a desire for equality, but AJJ doesn't bring anything orignial to the table. Someone already pointed this out, but it's like what any entry-level tumblr social justice blogger would post.

Funny how women in middle eastern countries do not get the same rights as you sjws.

Comparing 'leaders' to common people who do not have basic rights is absurd. What's next, Africans have better freedom than us because the government is not spying on us?

I was walking down the street at a faster pace than the girl in front of me the other day while wearing a hoodie because it was raining. I coughed and kept walking and the girl looked back and started running away like I was going to rape her. I am a skinny white kid. I am not saying her concerns aren't justifiable in today's world, it just felt weird.

#yesallwomen

its a fucking parody because barely anything they are saying is even true, at least not black and white 100% THATS TRUE.

Women clearly have it bad in the middle east. I was merely pointing out an instance where even the middle east has been more progressive than the states. Just because things are worse in Pakistan or India does not invalidate lesser inequalities in the western world. That's a fallacy.

Why are you morons ignoring this:
>>47216058

>>47216165
Doubt it. But socially ingrained class systems still exist. Which is basically what people mean when they refer to class systems

>>47216165
This.

Such a fucking stupid idea that white privilege is a global phenomenon. You go to a country and generally speaking, the predominant race tarts lived there for hundreds of years will have more privilege, just like you go to someones house and you can't do whatever you want because they have privilege in their own home.

>>47216097

Its not
Anyone who treats it as such is a retarded tumblr stereotype who took one sociology class and felt entitled to use terms they don't fully understand

Can you be racist against white people?

>>47216211

>>47216257
no, but you can be prejudiced.

>>47216257
You can be prejudiced against white people, or any real group of people for whatever reason, but racism is generally seen as a social, political, economic, etc systematic thing, which, in the U.S. on the whole, doesn't affect white people

>>47216257
Of course you can, but it sort of derails topics when you're talking about racism in the united states.

>>47216153
What was the comment again that I was replying?

>Are you living in the suburbs under your mom and dad's roof or in a gated community in your mom and dad's mansion?

Thailand is now under coup-rule. I'm just lucky that the place I live is consider 'safer'. That I don't get attacked by my own people.

Also my original comment is for someone who claims about being sexually objectified (which everyone regardless of who you are will experience in some point), automatically taken seriously (which I find it absurd) and having the majority of top corporate positions (proves that the person who said this does not know simple economics) is a white male. Unless you're living in India or some parts of the middle-east, I find it funny how people can take that seriously.

My comments on being a straight white male is for the sjw who comment on me before. Not sure its you or not.

>>47216302
Or rather, doesn't lead to dehumanization or oppression of white folks like it does people of other races, I should say.

>>47216275

>>47216165
On a global scale, white privilege becomes mostly western privilege: where if you're white/from the west you are in an inherently better situation than non-western people.

I dunno, I'm gay and and foreign and I personally don't like this 'check your privilege' shit at all. It makes minorities seem like complaining little bitches, and it frames it in an accusatory manner. Its the same thing as calling somebody a pleb and recommending them a good album but they dont want to listen to it because you've framed it in a hostile way, even if you had the best of intentions. Also there is a shit tonne of female privilege that is never addressed and the denial of misandry in these circles is disgusting. Not like there is any gay privilege, but I don't act like a fucking faggot so my sexuality never effects my standing in public because I still act like a goddamn man.

>>47216112
I had a similar experience, except I'm a tall wog and you wouldnt know I were gay unless I told you so it was probably worse. As she was running I yelled out with a thick homo lisp "relaxth darling, I don't thwing that way!"

Little bitch still ran tho. Who has more SJW points btw? Gay yet masculine men of colour or straight white women?

>>47216275
and especially in reference to the line
>Just like my straight white male dad did to me
a theme which Sean commonly writes about in his music (see the song Who Are You?)

>>47216090
Nah, its more like
>it doesn't matter if I bring all this bad luck upon myself, because these are all just superstitions that don't actually mean or affect anything, nor will my so-called "privilege" do anything to counteract this bad luck

He's basically saying that his privilege is an imaginary solution to the imaginary problem of bad luck.

Not having women going up for presidential candidates and you blame a certain class/race/sexuality? Wow you're really as ignorant as I thought.

Instead of pointing fingers, either women stop getting that women studies degree and get something useful. I will definitely support that but I won't support whining.

how can you claim that his white, male privilege allowed him to make millions and live comfortably? i feel like that would have to be justified by some sort of statistical analysis that i'm sure you haven't done, especially considering the fact that his music rejects the idea that he should be better off than nonwhite males

But yes, as a person from the West, mugging me comes with significantly worse consequences than mugging a non-western person. Nobody cares when some poor guy from the ghetto gets mugged, but when some American on vacation in India gets mugged it's all over the news.

Hah, I can see why. I'm not a very typical homosexual. I dunno, I realised I was gay at a young age, but I've never seen it as anything that affected me in a way other than what I was sexually attracted to. Like, its not a huge aspect of my identity. I also have a fetish for tickle torture, I dont feel a need to parade THAT around and gain acceptance about that. I feel the same way about liking dudes, I feel like a lot of gay guys are really feminine in their tought process and are desperate for social validation, they dont understand stoicism at all. Like, when I said I was foreign I meant I'm Greek. So naturally I really look up to the Spartans, because they are some of the biggest baddasses in history, totally fucking masculine and also a big bunch of homos, yeah they liked to be well groomed but NOBODY would argue that they were nancy boys. Anyway, yeah, I guess thats where I'm coming from, its like this quote I once read:

"When men see an ideal male, they aspire to be that man, like James Bond. When a woman sees an ideal woman, she makes a tumblr about how that ideal is not real, or not what men want, or a crazy obsessed person who hates themselves. Men climb the mountain to reach the top, women complain there is a mountain top, and declare wherever they are to be the new mountain top."

I mean this in the sense of the feminized gay guys obsess over privilege of expression so they can have a shitty excuse to act like passive women. That said, I don't get a long with a LOT of other gay guys. They have these feminine mannerisms that creep me out, they act more like weird crosses between the sexes. I'm only really interested in really masculine guys, but they tend not to be interested in me since they want twinks or what-have-you. I dunno, maybe I'm just weird too. Also, this attitude of "declaring a new mountaintop" is where you get modern feminism and women bitching about EVERYTHING you can think about. Men who adopt this are traitors.

>>47215971
This is an argument that I can never agree with. You don't have to be less privileged to have an opinion that matters because these are issues that can be intellectualized. Of course, being less privileged allows one to understand these issues from a different point of view, but as someone who is straight, white, and a male and supports equality, I take offense at the idea that my opinion is less valuable because "I'm incapable of understanding what it's like to work at McDonald's and to form an opinion based on it."
What you should have said is that his opinion is based on a skewed perception of reality, and is therefore a bad opinion as it isn't founded on objectivity.

>>47216668

>>47216131
It's not a parody. They make it as blunt as possible, but it's not a parody.

AJJ is sarcastic, but they aren't THAT sarcastic. Hell, they won't even play Lady Killer anymore because they think it's sexist.

>>47216700
I did, you included a picture titled "you" with a feminist stereotype and some really dumb memetext. Then you tell "women" to "stop getting that women studies degree" and imply that women's studies is useless. You equate any cause that women have to "whining" and announce that you won't support whatever arguments you arbitrarily decide aren't valid because some women in the world are treated even worse. Why exactly should I bother giving you a thoughtful response?

>>47216131

It isn't. You want it to be because you like the band but disagree with the message of the song. But the message is simple; he feels it's unfair how much better off he is than non straight white males.

You shouldn't be offended by that, for the record. If you've ever had female friends or friends from another ethnicity they'll have stories you can't imagine.

>>47216715
The alpha/beta dichotemic concept is based around primitive ideas that are usually common in people overdosed with testosterone. The whole thing's based on an idea that we live in a primitive non-society where the rules that dominate some animals (strength, social systems humans don't have) run our lives, because some women find it appealing.

>>47216727
did you read the sign he's holding?

>>47216685
There's a difference between intellectualization and lived experience though; the whole "you can't learn to plow by reading books" thing. Anybody can have an opinion on anything they like, and their identity or lot in life doesn't inherently disqualify their opinion, but I'm going to put less weight on an opinion removed from one's day-to-day existence than one that's informed from that lived experience.

>>47216769
Why would this person being transgendered make them any different from an "ordinary feminist"?

>>47216707
That's what I'm saying. He's making fun of masculism and he looks like a total loser. He's a sucker for the identification myth

Far too many young men maintain the notion that for them to receive the female intimacy they desire they should necessarily become more like the target of their affection in their own personality. In essence, to mold their own identify to better match the girl they think will best satisfy this need. So we see examples of men compromising their self-interests to better accomodate the interests of the woman they desire to facilitate this need for intimacy (i.e. sex). We all know the old adage women are all too aware of, “Guys will do anything to get laid” and this is certainly not limited to altering their individual identities and even conditions to better facilitate this. It’s all too common an example to see men select a college based on the available women at that college rather than academic merit to fit their own ambitions or even choose a college to better maintain a pre-existing relationship that a woman has chosen and the young man follows. In order to justify these choices he will alter his identity and personality by creating rationales and new mental schema to validate this ‘decision’ for himself. It becomes an ego protection for a decision he, on some level, knows was made for him.

But you're wrong. It is neither a men's rights blog nor is it pua. Yes its a part of the "manosphere" but more than anything else its about ideas and men treating themselves with respect and recognize the feminine paradigm in play that rules over many average men who don't even realise it. Its a blog about looking past political correctness and the emotions of women as WELL as your own and having a real good look at what's actually going on. Frankly, a lot of the concepts he writes about are great and to compare it to those MRA blogs of bitter guys just whining as well as the PUA blogs of simplistic pick up monkeys isn't right. Therationalmale is more than that, its much more informative and deals with concepts of male self actualization.

See, the problem with you is that you're a misogynist retard and you can't imagine a man wanting to be nice to a woman for any other reason other than getting sex, because in your worldview that is what women are good for.

These girls enabled and essentially encouraged this type of behavior by refusing to stop it. That the idea that men are misogynistic by nature and not by learning is hilarious. That the idea that any sort of 'privilege' exists for any reason other than that unprivileged groups allow it to exist is hilarious. Privilege is not inherent to sex, race, orientation, or anything else. Privilege is granted to the privileged by the 'oppressed.'

Error one. Misogyny is based (mostly, in our western modern culture) on gender politics. Gay guys can be misogynist. Misogyny comes from implicit power structures in how we think of men and women, not just from wanting women for sex.

Interestingly enough, they also are the reason for the NAACP. Funny how you can get different outcomes with similar programs, depending on your intent. Also, the US bends to the will of the Jews similarly to how it does so for blacks. The difference, is that Jews have their own nation, and blacks do not. Both Jews and blacks depend on the US for their survival, but the Jews are allowed to appear successful, due to the fact that they have their own land.

The problem is that you consider talking about these issues useless. If you spent a minute reading this thread, you'd see that there's clearly a problem with people accepting that things as simple as privilege exist. How is discussing things useless when the majority of people deny these problems?

>Tell me how is there any difference between a Women or a Men living in the United States of America?

On an issue as well documented as this, the difference is negligible. Not to mention that white males are actually a part of "the experience" and witness first hand their privilege over others.
Anyone, regardless of race/gender, who cares the slightest bit about equality can reach the same conclusion feminists have reached without having experienced the butt-end of "the patriarchy" or whatever term you'd like to use to describe the white, male privileged class.

Or, to put it differently, it's not a matter of instantly either trusting or not trusting, it's a matter of reliability of sources. A total objective view of all society, whatever that would look like, would be very difficult to form and uphold because of the size and scope of society as a whole. People who experience one or another form of discrimination on a regular basis are generally going to be more knowledgeable and have more specific expertise on their area of discrimination, because they're going to be dealing with it regularly. This isn't in all cases true, obviously, however with a lot of these types of issues, there are a lot of people out there who are going to have something to say on an issue, and it at the very least serves to use as a base metric for finding "all right, this is more likely to lead to good information".

>>47217182

>Not to mention that white males are actually a part of "the experience" and witness first hand their privilege over others.

But experiencing privilege from the privileged view is not the same as experiencing it from the view of the unprivileged. Life is perception, and an experience from one angle cannot effectively cover all the other perceptions of the matter.

I'm sorry, but women choosing to go to nursing school instead of medical school is hardly oppression. Also, whites did not oppress blacks. Wealthy men oppressed poor men. There were plenty of white and black slaves, as there were white and black (albeit much fewer) slavers. This 'privilege' has zero to do with being white or male or straight or cis or anything else, and everything to do with who, historically, was in power. You think white privilege still holds up in the Congo? How bout east Asia? How bout the Middle East?

>>47217237
Family courts are definitely biased, and feminism would address that by addressing the patriarchy that would say, for instance, that women are better care givers and thus need to be given custody.

'People' in power you sexist pig. The problem with abortion is the fetus don't have a choice whether they want to live or not. Unless its medical or life-threatening, simply aborting fetuses is simply lack of responsibility. Your body? How body the fetus body? (By the way I have mix-feeling for abortions.)

> rape culture
Both men and women are objectified in the both in the media and real life, but the million dollar question is does it matter? Continuing with this, how come men being objectified as objects or something sexual no one bats their eyes? (Unless if you're MRA), but if a women gets objectified it is a problem.

>>47217437
So basically you agree with me

>>47217288
A large study, compiled by Martin S. Fiebert, shows that women are as likely to be abusive to men, but that men are less likely to be hurt. However, he noted, men are seriously injured in 38 percent of the cases in which "extreme aggression" is used. Fiebert additionally noted that his work was not meant to minimize the serious effects of men who abuse women.[30][31][nb 1] Women are far more likely to use weapons, such as throwing a plate or firing a gun.[32]

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Jews are out to control the world, or that there's some global conspiracy, just that Jews have a disproportionate amount of power when compared to other demographics.

I think the real issue that needs to be discussed is why equality, something universally regarded as just, takes so much effort to maintain.
Is evil just ingrained in us? Did society corrupt our good nature?

>>47217502

so personal agency has to come into the equation eventually even though you have to consider that while jews didnt come to america with the degree of adversity that blacks did they still weren't greeted with open arms

i think the real conspiracy is in the power-gathering of educated black magnates in the church and the state who propagate and continue to bait the worsening of race relations in favor of the unconditional uprising of the black race

>>47217493
Sort of; my original point basically boils down to "you should take into account the sociopolitical and economic etc factors which inform people's opinions when discussing topics of societal injustice because those are relevant factors" so if you're in agreement with that then yeah I reckon we're about on the level

>>47216186
>It's true though.

That's not the point. Blind freddy can see that the types of industries women work in, in conjunction with the small issue of women settling down to raise children, will cause an inbalance in the median wage of both sexes.

And if you dare argue that such differences are apparent in jobs where both sexes occupy the same position, let me ask you why business owners don't go out of their way to hire women en masse to exploit a competitve advantage?

>>47217339

>Just make it clear that it's not the intended message of the writer.
True enough but they're flaws in the artist's intention.
1. May be exaggerated (or in any art-form) to make the listeners feel or think.
2. Everyone have their own prejudice even the artist themselves. This does not make them any more right than the listener's interpreting them.
3. The song (or any art) that is realised to the public belongs to the public. The work cannot just be solely judge on the meaning given by the artist, it can be in fact be judge by any of us.

Other than that I guess what you had said is fair enough.

By the way all three comments you replied to were made by me.

>>47217471
>Or they don't want to actually be a candidate
Why this is the case should be explored. They are definitely underrepresented and that likely leads many women to not think getting into politics is realistic or something they should do.

>The problem with abortion is the fetus doesn't have a choice whether they want to live or not
This choice doesn't matter, then. The fetus is unable to comprehend the choice, in many cases to feel pain, and the idea that abortions are carried out for a simple lack of responsibility is a much bigger issue than you make it out to be. Why should you bring a kid into the world if you can't offer it a decent standard of living? In a world that is over-populated as it is?

>Both men and women are objectified in the media and in real life
Of course but not in anywhere near the same way. "HURR DURR MEN FACE DISCRIMINATION TOO SO WE'RE EQUAL."
The point is, women are objectified far more often in far worse ways than men.

>Does it matter?
Yes, it certainly does. How you are born or how you are dressed should have no-where near the influence it still does.

>Wage gap article
That article doesn't explain why women are still doing the majority of the housework, caring for children the most, not going for better-paying jobs, and working less hours. Sure, they may only work 77% of the time men do, and work is less-risky jobs, but this in itself is a problem. Men should be performing more of the house-hold duties including taking care of children and women should not feel afraid to partake in risky jobs or jobs which have traditionally been held by men.

>If the male is 10$/hr or female 6$/hr, I'd hire the female
You have a very weak grasp of the problem. Both people are paid the same, it's just that the male is much more likely to be hired regardless of qualification.

>>47217360

Who are "they"? These are pretty sweeping statements. Not all women want to be politicians, but many do. The fact that Sarah Palin was the closest thing the US had to a female president is an atrocity.

> The problem with abortion is the fetus don't have a choice whether they want to live or not. Unless its medical or life-threatening, simply aborting fetuses is simply lack of responsibility. Your body? How body the fetus body?
And what about if a woman is raped? Should she be forced to keep the rapists baby and raise it? When do we consider a fetus a human being separate from the parent? And what about the politicians who want to limit contraception for women?

>Both men and women are objectified in the both in the media and real life, but the million dollar question is does it matter? Continuing with this, how come men being objectified as objects or something sexual no one bats their eyes? (Unless if you're MRA), but if a women gets objectified it is a problem.
Men are not nearly objectified to the scale that women are, and women are unique in that they can be exclusively objectified. Of course it matters, but rape culture is really about more than simply objectification. If you want to see a good example of what I mean by rape culture, you can look in this own thread at the guy who said women "enable and encourage" their assaulters by not reporting their assault.

You're misunderstanding the positions of each side of the conflict. Virtually nobody is arguing against equality. Even nationalists want their society to be equal.

Most of the issue is defining equality. For some, equality is equality of opportunity AND outcome. For others, it's just equality of opportunity.

>both women and men are objectified in the media and real life
HA! Oh yeah, all those ads with the men in underwear and water for unrelated products. Those men doing sexy voiceovers. Those men getting whistled and catcalled at in the streets 10 times more than women. OH WAIT

And as an employer, you take the men, because no women are applying, because they've all gone to nursing school, or full time mothering, or teaching, or other "womens' jobs". You pay the same rate to both because otherwise you get called sexist. But meanwhile women are doing the jobs they were told to do as kids. The low-paying ones.

>>47217500
So what you're saying is... ultimately we're the same except the hormonal differences we've known about for decades?!? SHOCK HORROR

People who are weak need a dehumanized 'other' to identify as the antagonist to give their own lives a greater purpose. Acknowledging the possibility that the world is a complex interconnected web of conflicting interests is too terrifying to contemplate, for doing so concedes that those whose interest conflicts with their own are also people who see their own interests and needs as valid or even just.

this is pretty much hitting it right on the head in my opinion. do your best to throw out notions of masculinity and femininity for a second and envision the perfect worker: one who shows up on time and never gets sick, has to take time off, et ceteris paribus. i get that some people argue that having kids is a biological imperative and i'm in no position to argue that, but at what point do you separate instinct from progress. didn't we get to where we are by transcending our native urge to eat, fuck, kill, and sleep indiscriminately?

the worst disservice modern media/feminism/whatthefuckever does for america is propagating the notion that the idea of a perfect worker is a masculine one. it's an idea bred from a sense of (justifiable) indignation but still incoherent from a logical standpoint.

if you want to get paid on the same scale maybe you shouldn't make the decision to have a fucking kid.

>>47217396
>Women choosing to go the nursing school instead of medical school is hardly oppression

It's systemic oppression in which both men and women are conditioned. It has a worse impact of women, however, as nursing is a lesser-paying job so they are more economically-disadvantaged.

Look up "glass-ceiling." It's pretty applicable to your argument.

>>47217500
There are plenty of studies that show that men and women hit each other at about the same rate. The vast majority of these are Conflict Tactics Scale studies, which are flawed for several reasons. Firstly, they don't differentiate between types of assault. For instance, pushing someone is the same as shoving someone down a flight of stairs. Secondly, they make no distinction between acts of aggression and acts of self defense. Third of all, they don't take into account systematic or patterned abuse, i.e. abuse used to control. They don't take into account abuse that happens after a relationship or a divorce, where the majority of violence happens. I don't know about this study you've cited, and I'm not interested because you MRA's have another one in the waiting, but I want to point out that these studies have flaws.

What is true is that women do hit men and probably more often than people think. What is also true is that men are overwhelmingly more responsible for sexual violence and if you look at FBI crime statistics, women are much more likely to be injured by domestic violence.

>>47217594
>They are definitely underrepresented and that likely leads many women to not think getting into politics is realistic or something they should do.
Victim blaming 101

>Why should you bring a kid into the world if you can't offer it a decent standard of living?
You shouldn't even be having sex if you don't even know safe sex/protection.

>women are objectified far more often in far worse ways than men
Some examples to this? I personally feel those who are offended by the media have their lifes to easy for them and is finding something to point fingers and make themselves feel better.

>How you are born or how you are dressed should have no-where near the influence it still does
Unless you're living in a conservative backwash country, not in USA it won't.

>women should not feel afraid to partake in risky jobs or jobs which have traditionally been held by men.
Again victim blaming 101, prove that you actually willing to risk it. Not blame society or media how women not being portrayed in a certain point of view leads to discrimination. You can think of that why can't you act it out? Talk only...

>male is much more likely to be hired regardless of qualification
Again victim blaming 101, also prove of this? I don't seem to see this from where I live. Seems more of a cultural superstition to me.

>>47217555
I think yes, initially those factors are better determinants of one's views than anything else. Of course, you have to concede that being a male doesn't mean I am inherently biased against feminism.
The only real opinions that are dismissable are the uninformed ones - male and female alike. Dismissing an informed opinion based on that person's gender is retarded though, because object truth outweighs whatever sort of initial bias that person may have.

And that's why my opinion matters, you jerk

>>47217636
>on who does the abusing though
The source you provided doesn't refute my point. It happens to both genders. Women still suffer more from it, yes, but it happens to both genders. Since it relies on reports to police, the percentages may be skewed one way or the other.

>Women have so many shelters because they need them to get away from the abusive men.
I don't really see how that's relevant. There are no battered men's shelters, though I believe there are a few hotlines and some other kinds of shelters will help them.

My girlfriend is going to med school. One of her roommates is going to PA school, one is trying to go to med school, the other is going to nursing school, and 2 of her other friends are going to nursing school. All 6 of them started out pre-med, and only two of them are sticking with it. Not because they've been oppressed into wanting to do nursing, but because all 4 of them decided that classes like organic chemistry, cell bio, microbio, genetics, etc. are too hard, and that because they can barely handle undergrad, med school would be too much. I'll never understand why sjw types cling to conceptions of gender roles from the mid 1980s, but it's silly to assume that the "glass ceiling" is the result of oppression, and not personal choice.

Mostly unrelated, but it's a fact that Asians typically get lower rates on bank loans and such. Is that racist?

>>47217716
I also want to point out that these arguments always come up when we talk about women's issues and the real question should be so fucking what? MRAs love to bring up these statistics to "debunk" feminists and that's really their only cause. These same people who claim to be looking out for the rights of the poor oppressed men do absolutely nothing for their cause.

Case in point: an MRA group filed a lawsuit to try to overturn the Minnesota Battered Woman's Act because it was sexist. The lawsuit specified that it did not want any resources to be shifted to men. These people literally are only interested in denying resources to women and don't give a shit about the poor male victims they say are so prevalent.

>>47217637
OP dropped some very lightweight bait in the pool, and /mu/ bit really really hard.

>>47217802
MRA is simply a reactionary group to 3rd wave feminism, that has probably been around as an idea for a decade tops. Feminism has exist for generations. It won't be until they start receiving positive publicity that they'll actually gain the power to start making changes.

>>47217756
>Victim blaming 101
Do you know what victim blaming is?

>You shouldn't even be having sex if you don't even know safe sex/protection.
And yet many of those same politicians want to stop women from getting coverage from contraception. What is it? Do we want women to practice safe sex or abort babies? Or maybe their role is simply to make babies.

>Unless you're living in a conservative backwash country, not in USA it won't.
As a Canadian I can say your country is pretty fucking conservative. Same sex marriage is only legal in 17 states... in the year 2014.

More accusations of victim blaming that make no sense.

>>47217756
>Victim blaming 101
What?

>You shouldn't be having sex if you don't know safe/sex protection
What if it fails? What about rape? Etc
Takes two to tango, why is the onus on women?

>Some examples of this
I dunno, fucking rape, man? The fact that women most often tell guys that are hitting on them in a relationship and can't simply tell them to leave them alone or that they're not interested?

>Unless you're living in a conservative backwash country
It's not as simple as it does or doesn't happen. Gender-discrimination happens to varying degrees nearly everywhere.

>Victim blaming 101
Look up "glass ceiling." Many studies have been done on this. To suggest that you can represent discrimination of individuals without referring to society is fucking retarded.

>When do we consider a fetus a human being separate from the parent?
Aren't you an individual separated from your parent's rights? You do have rights and freedom do you? Or your parents get to decide what to do with you, even killing you if you misbehaved.

>And what about the politicians who want to limit contraception for women?
Valid point.

>Men are not nearly objectified to the scale that women are
That's subjective.

>women are unique in that they can be exclusively objectified.
I find that sexist, what makes women more unique as men? Exclusively objectified? Yet female models get paid more than male models. No one forces the female to go and do such things for a paycheck. Those women, independently know their traits do these modelling (or whatnot) and get paid for it. Is that objectification? Jesus Christ didn't feminism though women to be independent and freedom to do whatever the hell they want.

>you can look in this own thread at the guy who said women "enable and encourage" their assaulters by not reporting their assault
Sounds like India to me. Valid point.

>>47217842
This is true. The entire Mens Right Movement is a backlash to feminism. Hell, their founding father is an ex-feminist and he's gone on to write some truly awful things.

>>47217871
>>Men are not nearly objectified to the scale that women are
>That's subjective.
I don't think you know what subjective means. Obviously the intended meaning was "most men do not face the same objectification as most women do" or "the female gender is objectified". This is not something that changes from person to person.

>>47217852

I wasn't trying to "debunk" feminism. The guy literally asked:
Oh yeah let's just have a look at them statistics for how many men get raped in comparison to women... How many domestic abuse cases are male on female...

All groups should be included in these kinds of issues. Male victims of sexual assault, domestic abuse, etc. are marginalized by the excessive attention women get.

>>47217801
>In one specific anecdotal circumstance, girls supposedly had complete agency in deciding whether to do med or nursing
OMG wow, that must prove it wrong. Of course, not in all situations is the glass-ceiling applicable and there are many cases in which women do nursing all of their own-volition. But, even then, they have still been conditioned throughout their lives that men are the 'breadwinners' and that female-employment post-marriage is largely auxiliary.

>Asians typically get lower rates on bank loans. Is that racist?
Yeah, kind of, but it's not a really bad example of racism. It is somewhat problematic that they charge some groups based on their ethnicity more interest. This should most definitely not occur and rates should be set on their credit rating which should not be impacted by race. I can kinda see why it happens, however.

I never understood why the slippery slope wasn't valid in the gay marriage debate. Homosexuality was (and still is to some extent) seen as sexual deviance. So is bestiality.

>>47217871
>'They' is women
Well, yeah, that was obvious. I was trying to push you towards making a statement that didn't make such a sexist generalization. "They," believe it or not, are all individual human beings with different aspirations.

>Great, so are they actually doing something about it?
The first step, of course, is to talk about it, something that you very quickly dismissed. Remember how useless womens studies was? I guess feminism is much the same? Why can't all those women just magically get into power?
Also, remember that America is a democratic society and women need to be voted to get into power.. and not represented by Sarah Palin and Michelle fucking Bachmann.

>Aren't you an individual separated from your parent's rights? You do have rights and freedom do you? Or your parents get to decide what to do with you, even killing you if you misbehaved.

>>47217871
>I find that sexist, what makes women more unique as men? Exclusively objectified?
Women who are good looking are often times immediately dismissed because there is an assumption that good looking women can't be intelligent. Furthermore, many men will completely ignore what that woman has to say because they're only response is how much they'd like to fuck them. Likewise, women who aren't attractive can be completely dismissed because they're ugly. This is something unique to women. Women are paid more for modelling because there is more of a demand for female models, which really only re enforces my original point. Yet, those models are paid terribly low compared to the companies who are profiting off of their image. Yes, women are allowed to model if they'd like, and many feminists would agree that it is a liberating thing. That doesn't change the systematic sexism in our culture.

>>47217923

Slippery slope is a categorical logical fallacy. Also what is ability to consent? Not even absurdest mainstream conservatives trot this argument out anymore.

>>47217923
>Bestiality
Because an animal cannot consent, or we cannot be sure they are consenting.

>Child love advocates
Not children but I think there will be a move away from demonising paedophilia (as long as it has not been acted on) as it is not chosen. Also, the entire "you are 17, you can consent now" is pretty stupid. I mean, sure, there should be safeguards to prevent kids being taken advantage of but a uniform age is pretty retarded. Also the creation of the 'child' as distinct from the 'adult' is kinda problematic.

But the next frontier, in all seriousness, will be polygamy. If it involves a group of consenting adults, why shouldn't it be allowed?

That said, the slippery slope argument still isn't valid as there is always going to be huge resistance to any change from the norm. People who supported interracial marriage did not necessarily support gay marriage, people who support gay marriage will not necessarily support polygamy, etc. Also, the time taken for these deviances to be accepted and legalised is so great that the slope is really not all that slipper.y

>>47217951
I don't think they're very different at all.

>>47217923
bc there are different factors in play when considering each of those subjects, there is no logical reason as to why accepting one means we have to accept all the others, or why they are even associated with each other apart from "sexual deviancy" which is a pretty dubious concept.

fuck this thread

>>47217923
Slippery slope implies that we'll lose a sense of reason if we agree one thing is not as bad as we thought. It's anti-falsifiability; it's working along the line of "if we let the gays get married why can't we let the bestials get married?!?" - it doesn't work because it's not working on the concept of working out where we're wrong in ethics and fixing it, it's making enemies of those who don't agree.

Dogs and cars cannot consent. Or, even if they could, there is no reasonable way we could know that they were consenting.

Also, the slope isn't slippery. It's very, very, very gradual as we can see from how long it's taken us from accepting interracial marriage to accepting gay marriage.

You mean statistics which show that of the 27 cent wage gap between men and women, 20-22 cents are explained by things such as field of work, level of education, time with the company, etc? The same statistics that the AAUW acknowledged as being true in their Graduating to a Pay Gap report? And you mean the statistics that show that the rest of that gap is explained away by some people as a result of bargaining ability when it comes to arguing your salary?

>>47217900
Anecdote or not, you can't claim something as universally true if a counter example can be provided by some random 20 year old. You can't say that the reason all women are worse off than all men is a result of privilege and oppression, when there are people whose situation is explained by their choice. Just like my story is an anecdote, "statistics" claiming that we indoctrinate the youth into conforming to gender roles are nothing more than a collection of similar anecdotes where the story goes "when I was in 2nd grade, people told me I should take home-ec and art instead of play sports." Funny thing is that statistics are actually showing that young boys are doing increasingly worse than young girls in school. Also, I suggest you look up some recent graduate and undergraduate graduation statistics. Just because there are currently more men in STEM/medicine/law, doesn't mean that will be the same in 10-20 years, especially at the current rate.

Seriously? A sexist generalization because I used the word 'they'? Whats next I'm sexist because I identify you as male but you want to be identify as female? Sorry, no need to be butthurt.

>When is a fetus human?
When conception first happened.

>When is it a separate entity from the parent?
They had always been. Just because they can't 'voice' they rights doesn't mean it doesn't get a fair chance not to.

>>Or your parents get to decide what to do with you, even killing you if you misbehaved.
>I'm not even going to address this ridiculous analogy about killing a child that misbehaves.
I was exaggerating my point to prove how silly your point is. Of course the parents to not get to kill their child.

i really hate you all

>hur dur you sjw
fuck you

fuck you

fuck you

im out, this is bullshit

And I answered you before, you ignored my post. Women need to be elected. Women need to be represented better than Palin or Bachmann. Americans need to be more open to female politicians, both female and male citizens. Feminism does address these issues.

>Where do I live? Do you know? Immediately assuming I'm American is a fucking dumb statement.
Don't take it so personally, bud. I wrongly assumed you were American, but I called the country conservative, not you.

>>47218028
>Immediately assuming I'm American is a fucking dumb statement
Not really. It's an assumption, and perhaps they should not have taken that liberty, but most 4channers are from the US.

I mean, sure, it was grey in outcome simply due to the antipodal nature of the argument but I think one side was a lot more convincing than another (that said, I'm obviously biased but still).

solution: kill everyone

I don't know. On at least two occasions there was an agreement that one's perception is definitely shaped by position of perspective, which is a definitely a victory of its own. There's also the potential personal victory you may have had from witnessing/participating in the discussion. Even if neither side could make a consensus, if you found you have learned or gained something, then whose to say that isn't a victory for yourself? No one can take that away.

People can learn a lot from even the most mundane of interactions, its really up to the individuals willingness. Everything can seem pointless with the wrong mindset.

Holy shit dude, stop talking out of your ass.

>Women who are good looking are often times immediately dismissed because there is an assumption that good looking women can't be intelligent.
Where do you live? Does your world only consist of tumblr?

>Furthermore, many men will completely ignore what that woman has to say because they're only response is how much they'd like to fuck them.
If you mean men, you mean those douchebags? Just because they are douches in this world doesn't mean it represent all men.

>Likewise, women who aren't attractive can be completely dismissed because they're ugly.
Another pathetic statement. Where are you from seriously? Did you just pull that out randomly?

>Yet, those models are paid terribly low compared to the companies who are profiting off of their image.
And which company does not do that? Apple profiting from minimum-wage workers in China is an example. Oh by the way the money these models make are a lot.

>many feminists would agree that it is a liberating thing
Yet some feminist says its objectifying women.

>>47218112

During fertilization? That's a pretty liberal definition of fetus.

Why is this an issue though? I know this is going to sound horrible, but is it entirely impossible that some people are just better suited for some things than others? I know we'd all like to think that everyone is perfectly equal, but the reality is that they aren't. I mean, given that girls are starting to receive more and better special help in these areas, while boys just kinda have to deal with it, and they're still not surpassing their male classmates, why is it so offensive to say that maybe boys are just better at math and science?

I'm not the guy you were responding but repatriation to Liberia is little recompense for what happened to them as a people.

i can say that this thread has helped me further develop my own ideas on the issue and that's all you can ask from anyone in a discussion between strangers on an anonymous internet forum.

i was arguing for personal gratification (like pretty much everyone else, if they have the balls to admit it) and if anyone else wasn't they're deluded or retarded

i can say now that i have a much healthier derision for the logic behind affirmative action in all its forms and outcomes in the USA now. thanks guys

>Where do you live? Does your world only consist of tumblr?
Try to avoid using buzzwords like tumblr.

>Just because they are douches in this world doesn't mean it represent all men.
I didn't say all men, I said many men. Don't distort what I said.

>Where are you from seriously?
Canada, not that it matters.

>And which company does not do that? Apple profiting from minimum-wage workers in China is an example. Oh by the way the money these models make are a lot.
Yes, and Apple profiting from foxconn is an obvious bad thing. I'm not sure how this analogy works in your favour. Also, models do not make good money. Maybe Kate Moss does, but the majority of them are not well paid.

>Yet some feminist says its objectifying women.
Yes. You're describing second wave feminism.

> I know we'd all like to think that everyone is perfectly equal, but the reality is that they aren't

when society realizes that serial killers, sociopaths, pedophiles, and pretty much every other unsavory is equally helpless at the hands of their environment as all the media-championed, TV friendly demographics, society is in for a big fucking rollercoaster.

better hope that people who have a fucking clue about how to shape the future of the human race can keep the cogs of industry oiled enough to arrive at a post-scarcity and/or technological singular endpoint whereupon all this bullshit (hopefully) becomes irrelevant to the public strata.

until then, eat shit retards

>>don't fuck without protection
>rape, faulty condoms, alcohol.
How many times had I address about abortion being okay if the women is being raped? As for faulty condoms, you do know that even safe sex have risks. Alcohol? How about being a responsible drinker for a change.

>Not the same as bearing the child and being given "motherly duties."
And yet feminist fight so hard at court for child custodies. When given the responsibility, oh too much burden.

>Are you saying we're immune to doing what we're taught? Do you know how many kids get told to play with other toys and wear other costumes and clothes because of their sex?
And does that shape how the children would be when they grow up?

>Why is this an issue though? Some people are just better suited for some things than others?

I don't want to sound hostile because I agree with the spirit of your response.
It is a problem because there is yet to be any evidence put forward which suggests that these differences are physiological. As such, it is more likely than dudes are not innately better at Maths and Science but are better at it because they are more interested in it. This is the problem. Girls and boys should feel equally interested in Maths as they are in English but, currently, there is a perception that Maths is inherently masculine whilst English is feminine.

I agree that we need to embrace our differences but this should be limited to physiological differences, not differences created due to environment.

And it's an issue because the kind of jobs girls go on to occupy pay less than the jobs men occupy. Of course, this is to do with supply and demand and the argument can be made that engineering is more important than, for example, writing. But another argument can also be made that we don't appreciate what women do. We don't appreciate their lines of work, which is why men avoid them, and why they are ultimately paid less. And as men still control more money and occupy the majority of CEO and Governmental positions, women are ultimately dependent on men.
