Cool. I'm going to stop talking to you on that issue because it's basically another foray into "what about the menz????????"

[DJ]

Isn't it a but unfair to only consider one gender when evaluating gender inequality?

[Willfor]

It's perfectly fair to consider both genders. However, this is like the fourth fucking time in this topic that someone has tried to bring "BUT MEN SUFFER TOO, GIVE US ALL THE ATTENTION" into this debate. I'm sorry if it seems like I don't care, I simply would like to give women's issues a chance to actually, you know, be heard instead of having the topic shift entirely to men's issues.

Maybe that's asking too much.

[DJ]

The topic is about women's issue yeah. So it's only natural to focus on them here, but there's this attitude here that they're the only gender issues that exist, and that men have it so much better, so I'm compelled to post examples of sexism against men.

[Willfor]

I have not seen this attitude anywhere in this topic. Please point it out.

If you're talking about society in general, please understand that this board is a cross-section of humanity that seems far more inclined to be aware that there are gender issues facing people of both sexes. If you're doing what you're doing for simply those reasons, please understand that you're simply making your own posts seem like you're trying to bring all the attention to yourself. Talking about women's issues here does not diminish men's issues, please try to understand that.

... Seriously? That is what you point to? The best post in this topic, bar none?

Done talking to you.

Plus she actually acknowledges in that post that men have gender bias against them as well

Yeah, pretty explicitly. Color swatches etc. So where, exactly, is the problem?

[Leafsnail]

Yeah that post was basically just smacking down LordBucket's stupid arguments, I don't see the problem

[DJ]

So you seriously think that was an accurate description of your average stay at home Mum? Or that being a man is a ticket to fame and fortune?

[DJ]

Hm, true enough. I hadn't thought of any such characters but that's a perfect example and I guess I just hadn't thought hard enough.

[Leafsnail]

If you need an example of a sexist jerk you don't usually have to look far past Seth Macfarlane.

Nobody is claiming that being a man automatically makes everything easy. Rather, being a man means you won't have as many additional negatives to deal with.
