Western culture? Rape is against our culture. That's why it's a punishable offense.
Before I respond to everything else, one in six. Just sayin'.
I call troll. Stop that.
Yes sir. (In light of other shit, I will stop making witty, slight inane one liners sir yes sir)
Why, that's exactly what you're saying. My gender is behind evil things, and if I'm defending myself against discrimination, I'm defending a culture of evil. Also, labelling the entire Western culture as supporting gender inequality is unfounded.
So, saying that Western Civilization doesn't have the best record in terms of gender equality is discrimination?
Western culture? Rape is against our culture. That's why it's a punishable offense. You'll also note that rape is much more common in Africa, although arguably that's because of Western culture as well. Gender discrimination is also illegal in our culture, at least nominally. Back to what started this discussion: I'm just pissed off that people who claim to be in favor of gender equality reserve themselves the right to practice gender discrimination themselves. I'm not being taken seriously by some feminists because I'm male. Some chauvinists don't take women seriously. And there seem to be people who think women should be allowed to discriminate against men - again, I see that as sexist.
Africa-Just because we're not the worst doesn't mean we're good
Gender Discrimination-Your entire argument has been that (Some) Feminists Discriminate against you.
Feminist- I only consider people feminist if they're arguing for gender equality.
And is it wrong because there are men, or is it wrong because there are people who do wrong things, who happen to also be men?
It's wrong because there are men and women who accept wrongness as right
In that case, Realmfighter, please name me another culture that has instituted women's suffrage, and made discrimination against race and religion illegal.
So yeah, either dumb or troll, but I deleted the "or really stupid" from my post because ad hominems are not really constructive either.
I was saying it support gender inequality. Just because there's worse doesn't make us perfect.
On the other hand, we can consider Western culture to be slanted towards men. But even then, what could I, as a single person, do?
Debate on the internet?
Eventually, I think anti-male feminism is about as effective in preventing gender inequality as a white supremacy gang is in preventing racial hatred.
Anti-male sounds like an extreme point of view, and there's nothing good about that. Anti-particular males, I can see, but anti-male, well, I don't think anyone here's advocating that.
Jackrabbit seems to have wrapped that last point up nicely! now if you could all stop posting....
You haven't been reading the last page?
Virex has been defending anti-male behaviour, and Realm just topped that by a tenfold, although I'm still waiting for a "I was being sarcastic didn't you guys see that?" kind of reply from him.
So that's what the insane levels of victimization was about!
