Sexism against Men in Media/Entertainment/Culture (Feminism and Misandry Gone Wild)

Male mutilation is funny....female mutilation is serious crime...2:55 touches on prevalent theme how men conditioned to accept this abuse

Who goes around saying it's ok to kick a man in the balls? These are examples of slapstick humor , grotesque absurdity , and Sharon Osbourne's sarcasm.

 

[The Question]

My main criticism of feminism is that feminists will fight for rewards, rights, and priveleges for women that men currently have...but will remain conveniently silent when it is about sharing the burden and responsibility to society. That sort of hypocrisy puts men at huge disadvantage and is form of gender-based discrimination...feminism is a hypocritical movement.

But that doesn't happen at all. What evidence of it do you have?

 

[redhawk23]

you're not alone. millions of men agree with you...unfortunately..we're the silent minority.

If you would actually attempt to read any actual feminist theory you would see that women and feminists also dislike such presentations because it actually goes to reinforce traditional gender roles. (see my past post on this topic.)

Look at the movement to make sure that women's contraceptives are funded and subsidized by insurance pools that consist of men who don't use them and organizations that don't want them.....

where is the movement to make sure women are drafted? Feminists have the political muscle to make that happen? Why hasn't it happened?

Why haven't women demanded equal entry for women for many careers? Because it contradicts desire for equal representation. Equal power/representation is more important than equal responsibility and burdens for feminists.

I'm working as hard as I can. There's still loads of material and research above for you to sift through.

You keep acting like women are some obscure special interest group. They make up 50%+ of the population.

There are numerous social benefits of easy access to birth control. They call it family planning for a reason. It allows families to live within their meanss. Less unplanned pregnancies mean less people seeking out abortions (see how this is kind of a win across the political spectrum?) It also leads to lower rates of poverty, and there fore reductions in crime and public health problems.

Also, how is a reduction in unplanned pregnancies not absolutely beneficial for men? Unless you think men shouldn't be held responsible for the children they father.

Meanwhile, Viagra has been covered by insurance almost as long as it has existed. http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=91538#.UbU4CPm1GSo

And feminists definitely are attempting to increase female presence in the military and promote their ability to do well in such an environment. Perhaps the reason they haven't focused on the draft is because there hasn't been one close to 40 years. It would be a wast of energy when we maintain a huge voluntary military force. Instead they focus their energies in that regard on women attempting to enter the armed forces the same way that men currently enter the armed forces, by signing up, by applying for various branches and sub-sections and applying for officer training.

Ah, the white, American, Christian male. The most unrecognized minority.

I'm not white, btw. I'm blacker than Obama. I wasn't born in this country either.

The life of an unborn baby is determined to live...based purely on the desire of the mother.
Feminists fought for abortion rights....and double murder convictions for those who kill a pregnant woman. Inconsistent definition of life of fetus...as long as the definition benefits the woman..all is good. Feminism is a sexist scam...that uses babies as pawns.

In sorry, I just can't take anybody seriously when they're posting an superhero forum with bible quotes plastered all over their signature.

 

[SentinelMind]

why do people want threads closed and people censored so much? Rhetorical question. Truth that pierces through years of PC social engineering and conditioning can make people unsettled very easily.

 

[The Question]

Insurance pools subsidize viagra. Subsidizing birth control is only fair.

The draft doesn't apply to women because the draft doesn't currently exist. It would require an act of congress to reinstate the draft. And, in fact, the last bill that attempted to reinstate the draft (this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_National_Service_Act_of_2007) used this language:

“... young men and women ages 18-26 could be called to service...”

So, odds are, if the draft ever comes back, it will apply to women.

Why haven't women demanded equal entry for women for many careers?

They've demanded equal entry for all careers. What careers are you talking about?

Because it contradicts desire for equal representation. Equal power/representation is more important than equal responsibility and burdens for feminists.

Feminists view equal representation and equal responsibility as being the exact same thing. Because they are the same thing. How are they not?

ahh..more personal attacks...we should only take seriously those on a superhero forum...with an avatar of a woman shaking her body up and down and licking her mouth? Because...then....that person.....wait...I'm lost

What's wrong with using Bible quotes on a superhero forum? More censorship?

 

[The Question]

SentinelMind, I have a question. Have you ever read a work of feminist literature?

 

[SentinelMind]

::sets up table:: Tin foil hats, get yer tin foil hats heeeeere!

if you don't take any of it seriously, why do you keep posting here? you're free to do so, but there is a conscious disconnect here.

Exactly, I'm posting ironically. It's the hip thing to do now , dontcha know?

You're unsettling in your own unique way, that's for sure.

 

[SentinelMind]

SentinelMind, I have a question. Have you ever read a work of feminist literature?

I've read feminist articles and listened to feminist speakers....years ago in college I properly would have claimed to have moderately supported some feminist goals...until I realized the hypocrisy of feminism and its true agenda. All you have to do is look at the results. Anyone can write a screeching book. The results....the damage to society, the failure to community...its all well documented. Feminism is a hate-based scam that has been embedded aggressively into school curriculum that so many men here can't see they're being used as pawns against their own interest. Its everything they've ever known. When posting research, its ignored...and avatars/signatures are attacked instead.

I agree what I'm saying is unsettling to most people who want to follow what is popular....but is what I'm saying true or not? that's the hard part to confront..but the right thing to do.

The thing is, you've failed to demonstrate how any of the problems you're talking about are the result of the feminist movement. You've failed to demonstrate how they're things that feminists want or how they're things that feminists bring about through their actions. You just list some problems and then say "and it's because of feminism."

Feminists say that they're about gender equality, and while you say that their actions speak otherwise you offer no evidence of this. And all of their documented, verifiable actions prove that they're about gender equality.

Now, I'm going to ask you to specify something:

Feminism is a hate-based scam that has been embedded aggressively into school curriculum that so many men here can't see they're being used as pawns against their own interest.

What exactly are men's interests, and how are they being made to work against their own interests?

So, odds are, if the draft ever comes back, it will apply to women.

If it ever does come back...only men would be affected now..not women. Failed bills don't count as equality.

They've demanded equal entry for all careers. What careers are you talking about?

careers that lower amount of physical effort woman are required to get the same position as men. military, police, fire fighters....and soon NFL kickers..
