I really shouldn’t bother with responding to any of this, but…
- Why do women get less of a prison sentence for the same crime?
It’s really up to the judge. If you want someone to blame, blame the judges who have these double standards, not women.
- Why do women not get drafted? Who is being discriminated against here?
My country (Canada) doesn’t have a draft, so I would question why anyone would have to be drafted, but I’m assuming it’s due to a bunch of factors: the limited roles women have in the military (there’s only so much need for support staff), the perceived inability of women to handle combat situations.
- Why is it funny in the movies to see a male get kicked in the genitalia? What would be said about the reverse?
Double standards, again.
4)Why is it ok for some women to be sexual predators? See O’ reilly for pieces on that score.
Um, it’s not?
5)Shall we compare the amount of monies spent on Breast augmentation as
opposed to Prostate Cancer Research? Where is our Komen’s Foundation?
Over here, I’m constantly seeing ads for prostate cancer. There’s also the
Prostate Cancer Foundation and the American Cancer Society’s section on prostate cancer:
cancer.org/Cancer/ProstateCancer/index
6)Why is it ok for female reporters to go into men’ s locker rooms to get the story after the big game but not the reverse for women’s volleyball?
Is this a common practice? Why can’t they just wait outside the locker room?
- Why does my gym have a seperate female section but not a seperate Male section?
Because the rest of the gym
is ‘the male section’.
- Why is pervasive genital mutilation of male children permitted (circumsision) in this country? What deep rooted Psychological trauma does that produce?
Disregarding the fact that for some, it’s a part of their religion, my guess is misinformation regarding the health of the practice.
- Why is it that throughout the bulk of History man has been to *forced *into slavery, to be the ‘primary material provider’ while women get to stay at home and be with the Children? Then only to be accused of discriminating against women because they have a …ahem…career?
Historically, women were not paid enough to support themselves, if they were allowed to work at all. Why is it that women have been
forced to stay at home with the kids, told that out there is “a man’s world” and denied the opportunity to pursue a career? Why is it that women are expected to stay at home, doing the (unpaid) equivalent of THREE FULL TIME JOBS? Why are “house husbands” and “stay-at-home dads” derided as not being “real men” because they choose to stay at home while their spouse works?
- Why is it thought that men only start wars? Hello? Maggie Thatcher! Right! Let’s bomb the Falklands! Queen Elizabeth? Many others.
Maybe because men make up the bulk of the military? Again, there’s a double standard in play that says that women (being “naturally nurturing”) don’t have the backbone it takes to start wars. This also makes them ineffectual as leaders. It’s all a bunch of BS, of course.
11)Why are more men **in **prison than women?
Maybe because more men commit crimes? Men are more likely to have the opportunity to commit crimes, combine that with being socialized to be more aggressive and competitive (men who show sensitivity are “sissies” and “effeminate”, remember).
12)Why is it ok for a woman to slap a man whenever she feels justified and not have it called assault and battery?
That’s due to a misogynist perception that a man should be able to control “his” woman, so female-on-male violence is more likely to be overlooked because a man who can be dominated by the “weaker” sex obviously needs to “man up”.
- Why should my tax monies go for her abortions and birth control due to *her *life style choices?
Why do my tax dollars pay for publicly funded Catholic schools? I don’t use a car, why do my tax dollars pay for paved roads?
- Why does a woman have the right to abort my child? Where is my say? Hello! Was not I also a co - creator of the child?
Tell you what? Let’s make a baby together. I’ll carry it for four and a half months, and then we’ll transfer it to your belly and you can do the same. We can both share the pain of giving birth, no problem!
Oh, and when the child is born, we can evenly split parenting duties. Society expects both partners to split childcare, anyways, so when he or she is sick in the night, you can clean up their puke and sing it lullabies while I sleep. It’s not as if society expects me, as a mother, to do all that “nurturing” stuff.
Oh, wait, last I checked, women have to carry that baby around for nine months, women are also expected to do the bulk of the work once that baby comes out. If her partner leaves her, hey, it’s no sweat off his back!
Come back when men can get pregnant, then we’ll talk.
- Why is it at Pro - life rallys I only see signs that say “Women deserve better!”
See my response to question 14.
- Why does a woman get to hide behind a screen when she accuses a man of Rape? Where is the right to face one’s accusers?
Um, maybe because she DOESN’T WANT TO FACE THE MAN WHO ABUSED HER?! Abuse triggers, have you heard of them?!
- Why do male nurses claim discrimination as a male nurse when they are continually thought of as movers of furniture and hospital beds? Or to get something that is high above a woman’s reach?
I’ve never heard of a case of a male nurse whining about discrimination because of furniture. I have heard of people assuming that male nurses were doctors (because nursing is a “woman’s profession”) and female doctors being mistaken for nurses.
Besides, women don’t necessarily need men to fetch things for them, stepladders, anyone?
- Shall we even begin to address the disparate inequality in regard to Alimony and Palimony? Between just who gets discriminated against in the courts in terms of child custody?
Shall we even begin to address the fact that the reason men typically pay child support and women are granted custody is because the men have been abusing their spouses and children, or simply abandoned them?
19)Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy… Wait a minute… Just what is this ‘Women First’ bit in the sinking ‘Titanic’ situations?
Well, you see, back when women wore those cumbersome skirts, if they fell in the water and didn’t have help, THEY WOULD DROWN! Other than that, it’s a stupid sexist rule that says men are “expendable” and women are vulnerable and must be “protected”.
Thanks for pointing out some double standards, the rest is misogynistic dreck from a privileged group whining about how they’re being forced to give up some of their privilege, though.
Also, feminism isn’t monolithic. I know there are lots of people on this board who seem to think that every feminist is a carping ball-buster, but that’s simply not true.
