Who here is a feminist?

RE: Who here is a feminist?
Calling out bullshit in 3...2...1....

Totally not what she said.

Quote:Funny how men are still at the forefront of practically every major area of life on earth. You see, you wouldn't have complained a few thousand years ago about men being the leaders, for the simple reason that your survival would have totally depended on them, and you wouldn't want to bite the hand that feeds you.

Ofcourse not thousands of years ago. Don't you think society has changed a little nowadays though? I mean, I dunno... we don't exactly need a man to throw a spear to catch a boar for dinner anymore. We can go to the supermarket and buy our bacon. The only reason men were dominant in prehistory is because, like almost all animals the male is the stronger. Henceforth they can slap a woman down if they're getting too rowdy. Or at least in those days that's what they probably did.

But the thing is we don't live in a society that rewards brute strength anymore. Your point about survival depending on the male is completely irrelevant in this day and age.

Quote:But now, thanks to the innovations of, drum roll...men, you have the luxury of living in a world where muscles and constant hardship are not quite as necessary as before. And yet, funnily enough, it's still men who are at the forefront of all the major areas of life. Politics, business, science, exploration, inventions, etc etc etc.

I guess you're basing this information on the prevalence of men in modern day positions of power right?

It's true, men appear to be in the majority when it comes to politics, business, science and all that other shit. BUT to sit there and ignorantly suggest that it's because somehow men are better than women at these specific things is flagrantly indicative of your understanding of the world.
If that were the case how do you account for these women:

Or these women:

Or any of these women:

The fact that men get more airtime than women in this day and age is simply a knock on effect from the monopoly that the male gender has had for thousands of years. The truth is, men are no better or worse than women at doing any of the things you have mentioned. There are more men doing them sure, but it doesn't make them better. You have to take into account other factors than simply ability.

Quote:It is still men who drive society forward in all the ways that they do. If an experiment were conducted in which women disappeared for 5 years, it wouldn't have that much of an impact on the world. But take away men for even a week, and your entire world will fall apart.

This level of ignorance is astounding.

Quote:Everything about your life is how it is because of men, their strengths, skills, and leadership. Women are nurturers, that's their strength. Stop trying to be like a man, you can never compete.

Get in the 21st century bro.
