2. I'm not portraying women as weaklings, I'm saying men are generally bigger and stronger than women, physically. Which is a fact.
3. Ok.
Ermm a mom punching a baby is much worse by all measures.
Anyway, I don't like the term feminist because to most people it seems to signify just women's rights and I don't blame them because the most outspoken and popular feminists are also the stupid ones who ignore gender equality.
Though equality is tough word. Men and women are indeed different and have evolved to be adept at different roles in society. I think if instead of feminism, if people stick to humanism that should be enough to achieve that hard sought gender equality without all the confusion.
I agree with all this.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
