    As far as I can tell, there are very few feminists left today. Women are strong and self-reliant because they have to be, not because it's some rosy reward won by the bra-burners of women's lib.

    Nothing worse than whiney men.

    What part of the right NOT to be a mother did you miss?

    No because men still carry them.

    If men were whiney then women were even more whiney when they demanded the right to work along side men but then demanded that they be given concessions so they would not have to compete with men equally.

    Then of course they work less but demand government action to give them more pay.

    Let's not forget how they whine about wanting to work but oh someone owes them child care.

    Men arfe simply saying put up or shut up if you want real equality suffer for it.

    Notice how feminists accuse men of, "whining," when they address an inequality effecting men, but if you accuse a woman of whining when he/she points out a percieved inequality, like the pay gap, you're a misogynist. Since it's OK for a woman to address a percieved inequality, but it isn't OK for a man to do the same thing, this is yet one more example of female privilege and matriarchy :wink:

    I have never heard or read about a Feminist telling another woman who has both a family and a job a second class citizen.

    Now there are women who will chose a Career, women who will chose to raise a family...women who will chose to do both....but such choices are not issues that a Feminist would get into....unless a woman was being FORCED or somehow HELD BACK....into either making a choice she did not want to or not being allowed to chose.

    Sorry Dude....MEN DON'T Whine....women are allowed to.

    Just a simple fact.

    But being able to urinate standing up and not having to use a Tampon every month very much so makes up for it.

    So, in other words, you're a feminist and you don't believe in equality either

    Who is this 'they' you speak of? Are you talking about ME?

    Perceived inequality... nobody ever explained exactly what that is. How are men equal in the child-bearing process?

    I was referring to women in general.

    No one said any thing about the child bearing process it is about the decision to be a parent or not.

    Nobody said anything about the childbearing process because men don't participate. The only way you get a say is if you grow a uterus.

    No idea why the OP hasnt been back, but his comparison between a vascatomy and abortion is apples and oranges. A married woman needs her husbands signature for a tubiligation. Not approval, acknowledgement.

    Thanks to your lefty friends, nobody has to tell anybody about abortions.

    Just curious... in general, do you support a womans right to have an abortion?

    The thread is not about child bearing which is why it is irrelevant to this discussion keep up and pay attention

    Actually, yes it is about child bearing. Perhaps you should go back and read the OP.

    Very true. Which is why men should have an opportunity to sign away their parental rights to any offspring she decides to carry to term if he does not want to be involved. If a woman can give her baby up for adoption and simply pretend she has no idea who the father is, then why can't a man sign away his parental rights during the pregnancy and make it absolutely clear he won't be involved in the child-rearing?

    This I have never understood.

    Domestic Violence is deplorable ragardless of the gender being victimized.

    In general, women are not held accountable for their actions in the justice system like men are. For example, a women spends 63% less time in prison than a man for convicting the same crime, and that's after being 20 times less likeley to even be prosecuted in the first place:

    Estimating Gender Disparities in Federal Criminal Cases


    Sonja B. Starr

    University of Michigan Law School

    August 29, 2012

    University of Michigan Law and Economics Research Paper, No. 12-018

    Abstract:
    This paper assesses gender disparities in federal criminal cases. It finds large gender gaps favoring women throughout the sentence length distribution (averaging over 60%), conditional on arrest offense, criminal history, and other pre-charge observables. Female arrestees are also significantly likelier to avoid charges and convictions entirely, and twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted. Prior studies have reported much smaller sentence gaps because they have ignored the role of charging, plea-bargaining, and sentencing fact-finding in producing sentences. Most studies control for endogenous severity measures that result from these earlier discretionary processes and use samples that have been winnowed by them. I avoid these problems by using a linked dataset tracing cases from arrest through sentencing. Using decomposition methods, I show that most sentence disparity arises from decisions at the earlier stages, and use the rich data to investigate causal theories for these gender gaps.

    ...and I believe advocating for violence is a against the terms of service for this website :wink: In other words, this entire website could be shut down if someone on it suggest they or someone else should committ a violent act :wink:

    You are much more liberal and left wing than I am.

    You are still miles off of the topic at hand
