I hate Misandry and feminism.

I think part of the issue is that people are too willing to approach gender equality as if it were a set of scales, where efforts to improve one gender's lot necessarily takes away from the other, when in reality the entire set up is more like a puzzle of complicated, interlocking parts.

Like, let's just take an example from the OP's list:

Quote:Why is it funny to have a man kicked in the balls or have his manhood damaged but never a woman?,

Why indeed? Could it be that the majority of comedy writers have been male, over the years, and that their assumed audience was similarly male? Oh, and also the majority of comedic actors have also been male... and the studio execs that fund these things... Thinking

What's the solution? First of all, remove the veil of mystery surrounding female genitals, but more broadly, get more women active in comedy by cultivating a less gender-exclusionary entertainment industry. One where we don't have to trot out Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as being our obligatory two "women in comedy" for this generation, and have that be it.

Let's face it, if it had been roughly gender equal from the start, the nut shot probably wouldn't have been alone in the annals of lowest-common-denominator comedy, because there wouldn't have been that strange misunderstanding that being hit there doesn't hurt women. We might even be talking about the nut shot and the cunt punt right now. Tongue

You'd be surprised how many of the OP's list items could be solved with the answer "less privileging of one gender over another," and strangely, if one were to apply that solution, the course of action would rarely be "less focus on women's issues."
