Lol. Thanks for proving my point. I saw a very heated Facebook discussion about it...And at the end of the day...People...ANY group of people are going to have their radicals, and make a whole group look bad...Much like the middle east...Facebook is full of uneducated morons...Here, I usually see a bit of intelligence in people, and hoped to get a great discussion going, rather than an overuse of name calling...That said...I think the article DOES have a point, despite it's tone...I find it much easier to get along with women in my life...I have many more female friends than male friends...And that's acceptable (at least where I am), even though I'm a married man...But all of my female friends have that ONE other friend that DOES agree with the extremists, and you could position the complete and total tomfoolery of the events in this article in every possible way, but they will side with it...People can just be so blind to logic...I just don't get why that is...To me, if you can position an argument in a completely infallible way, yet they won't get it..That concept DOESN'T make sense to me...Even when both women that are suspected to be the female in the photo were interviewed, and NEITHER claim to be sexually assaulted, how can one continue to say this is sexual assault? It baffles me...
feminism is just as much about equality as the black power movement. it is a demographic that has been systematically downtrodden for an inconceivably long time, so they are coming together to try to put themselves on equal footing with their counterparts. as, at least here in the USA, they shouldn't even have to do in the first place, given the content of our constitution, but they have every right to do regardless.
To be fair...While the Feminist movement was much needed pretty up much through the 80's, in the vast majority of cases, they isn't much use for it in today's society in the U.S.A.
It might have started out that way, but it's become a toxic hate group. And yea, I guess in order to talk for an entire gender/race/group of people I would need to be a feminist, cus its ok for them lol.
QFT. not to imply that it is justified, but you're completely right. it becomes an endless cycle of reactionary social politics.
read: "i cannot bring forth a single fact to reinforce my assertion that women are worth less than men and that the movement toward equality is useless, so instead i provide an extremely vague quote of questionable relevance."
Note, I SPECIFIED elementary and stated that I understood men can get hired for Middle School. Show me a ratio of of male elementary school teachers to female elementary school teachers, and maybe then I can find your points valid...But I can't understand yours, until you understand mine. That said, since you're such a fan of statistics, STATISTICALLY speaking, women who have phone sales jobs will sell more than men. And, seeing as most phone sales jobs are commission based, that would mean statistically women make more in call center positions than men...read: "i cannot bring forth a single fact to reinforce my assertion that women are worth less than men and that the movement toward equality is useless, so instead i provide an extremely vague quote of questionable relevance."
and again, PLEASE. QUIT. MAKING. ****. UP.
not only is employment in elementary and middle schools in the USA pretty gender balanced, here's a very recent graph (although these are technically statistics, not sure if you'll buy it) expressing the pay gap between men and women in various occupations. elementary and middle school teachers are displayed on the fourth bar from the top, plain as day.
if you don't believe anything i've said here, feel free to do your own research (i could even give you a hand as it is my actual job to do such things). i promise you'll be hard pressed to find any information from a reputable source that conflicts with this graph. i am so done with this stupid ass debate. ignore the facts if you want but don't go spewing your delusions just to make yourself seem systematically oppressed. it's not fair to anyone that has to put up with this reality every waking moment.
Not idealy, no...However, Communism is not about control..In THEORY...However, in practical application that is simply impossible. Feminism was a great movement at the time...But at this point in our society, it is truly not very different than the practical application of communism, vs theoretical communism.
