Maybe this is a way to balance the 'gender books' that should be fair to all concerned. Naturally, there will be an adjustment period, but it should be made as brief as possible:

-Men will not be allowed to run for or hold political office.

-Men will not be allowed to vote.

-Men will not be allowed to campaign for candidates.

-Men will not be allowed to own real property in their own name.

-Men will not be allowed to own businesses.

-The following professions are to be closed to men: medicine, law, engineering, soldiering, mining, professional driving, aircraft piloting, fishing, farming, and all professions of scientific inquiry (note: Men will be allowed to assist in these fields in positions such as nurse, clerk, secretary, or manual labourer).

-Men will not be allowed to initiate divorce proceedings.

-Men may not enter into any contractual obligation without the express, written and witnessed consent of their wives.

-Men may not hold any positions of authority in education or clerical institutions.

Sound radical? It shouldn't, as that's exactly the situation that held when my grandfather was born, just over 100 years ago, but the proscriptions were on women instead of men.

When you spend millennia treating women like property instead of like people and then have the nerve to act offended when they get a little strident, the trouble isn't with feminism. Process of elimination should tell you where the trouble does lie.

So men in the current generation and the boys that are growing up should pay for the injustice men that lived a 100 years ago committed?


And stop projecting so much. xD

Well, yes, they should. Since men hold the majority of power, they're the ones who should see that the system changes to be more equitable.

And I'm not projecting. It seems like it to you, I'm sure, but what you're seeing is the attitude of someone who doesn't hate women.

Men's Rights Activists like Pool aren't pigs. They're assholes. They attack feminism because they are insecure about the size of their penises.

There are men's rights issues that should be discussed. Attacking feminism out of your insecurity isn't the fucking way to do it though.

Repeating the injustices of the past by reversing them and implementing them in the present is about as backwards as it gets.

When feminists however try to gain power by bashing males, that's when the we will stop being defensive, and start going on the offensive.

How does women bashing men give them power?

It doesn't, but for those doing it, it makes them feel superior by bringing someone else down.

Then who cares, and with men like you out there I would say they are probably justified.

Ha no, I had to look that up, but perhaps in a few months and get off this forum I might be.
