    don’t blame women for not being required to sign up for selective service. It is men who insisted that women should not be allowed to. Women had to fight to be able to serve. Because I am a feminist doesn’t mean that I should focus on things like signing up for the military....If you feel strongly then why don’t you do something. After all men are the victims , remember? That’s your issue

    Teach us History and Tell us the women who started the war. You’re right, I missed the day in school where women started the war .

    I am just pointing out hypocrisy. Feminism isn't about equality because I never see protests to force women to sign up for the selective services.

    Yeah, men also insisted they didn't vote. Yet you only fight for privilege with no responsibility. Feminism is about obtain privilege.

    No they didn't. They served in WWII I remember seeing Rosie the riveter signs from that era
    Because you don't give a **** about equality. You just want privilege.

    I'm not the one lying about feminism being a fight for equality.

    Well they are more likely to die on the job, more likely to suffer depression or commit suicide or get killed in crimes. you don't give a **** about that, reee i want more money, **** men gimme gimme gimme.

    That isn't equality. Feminism is not about equality it's about privilege.

    If you think it is unfair that women aren’t forced to sign up for the selective services then do something. That is a male issue so don’t ask women to fight your battles.
    I cracked up laughing when you used Rosie the riveter as serving in world war two. You don’t even know what she symbolized. She symbolized women working in factories because the men were in the military, they weren’t soldiers and when the men came home, they lost those jobs
    Wow do you hate women ....
    that you believe that we only fight for privilege with no responsibility. What the hell does that even mean?
    I really don’t know what your issues are with women but thank goodness I’ve never met a man like you in real life. Sounds like you’ve been burned quite a lot

    You still don't get it. If feminism was about equality you would be doing something. That's the point I'm making.

    I'm not. I'm pointing out how feminism isn't about equality.
    so working in factories while men are away isn't serving?
    It means feminism isn't about equality it's about privilege.
    I have no problem with women. I'm pointing out hypocrisy in feminism. Not women. They aren't synonyms.
    You really want that to be true. I'm exposing feminist lies. It aggravates you.

    I Realize what your problem is and that is that you don’t understand the concept of equal. Equal does not mean the same. 10 pennies are equal to one dime. 2. Nickels are equal to one dime. They’re not the same but they’re equal. Because I don’t want to dig ditches doesn’t mean that I am not equal to men.
    You Don’t know what feminism is at all. You have decided that we should do everything just like men. No we don’t want to. You sound like you’re the one who feels you’re being discriminated against so take action the way feminists did. I think it’s adorable the way you overgeneralize. You have no idea what equality means and you have no idea what feminism means. You’ just want to see yourself as a victim and want others to fight for you

    One day my former wife and I went to a landfill (in Australia called a tip). Some man there made an inarticulate shout. So my former wife diagnosed him as a tip babboon.

    When workplace deaths are 50-50 then you can complain about fairness.

    Whenever you say this or talk about the military and the men who died in war, or even the high suicide rate feminists say choose those things.

    As though they deserve to die. Is though children deserve to lose their parents or parents deserve to lose their children our people deserve to lose their siblings because of the dangers of doing certain jobs.

    I remember a couple of years ago there is a big explosion in a town called West. A good family friend lost his beloved son in that explosion. A mother lost a son. A sister lost a brother.

    He was a firefighter. He was responding to save Brothers sons and fathers for their mothers wives daughters and sister's.

    But **** all that because men sometimes sit with their legs far apart of on a Subway or bus.

    Not all women are feminists and not all feminists are women.

    Feminists do not value motherhood, however; many women love children and want to be or already are mothers. Feminism does not speak for many women.

    What kind of bullshit is it to say that feminists do not value motherhood? What women do not believe in equal rights for women? I just know different kinds of women who understand the definition of feminism. You may know women who do not believe they deserve equal rights but fortunately the women I know are different. And you are right not all feminists are women. Men who believe in and respect women are feminists

    Most men do not choose their jobs they take jobs out of necessity.

    If I could choose my job I'd choose to be a professional golfer, but I suck at golf.

    Feminists think its discrimination women don't get jobs they are not qualified for.

    That's not discrimination.

    I do believe in equality.

    I'm actually an equalitarian and civil rights activist working for women's equality.

    In particular I'm working on making women as EQUALLY accountable as men for the consequences of their actions and choices.

    Equality is equal accountability.

    Modern feminism's objective is completely absolving women of what little accountability they do have.

    There is that silly strawman mentality again that feminists believe they should get jobs they are not qualified for. The extremist mentality. We have watched men get jobs they were less qualified for for generations..And since women were kept out of the job market of high-paying jobs they took low-paying jobs like secretaries etc. out of necessity

    You don’t really think that I believe you are an activist for women’s equality do you? Not only do I not believe you are fighting for women’s equality , your last sentence is that of an extremist against women’s equality.You sound more like you are Fighting for the paranoid “men are being oppressed”

    I am an equalitarian.

    Equalitarians believe inequalities are wrong when those inequalities are the result of discrimination regardless of race and/or gender.

    When an inequality is not the result of discrimination such as say the wage gap being the result of choice not discrimination or an inequality being the result of biology, like men generally being stronger and therefore more capable of doing physically demanding jobs, as Equalitarians we do not believe those inequalities are wrong. We simply believe they just are.

    Equalitarians believe opportunities should be based on merit and race and/or gender should not even matter.

    I'm sure I know more feminists than you and no feminist would ever say something as hair-brained as that.

    The feminists I know are accountable and realistic and know their qualifications.

    Sounds like projection to me.

    Feminism is outdated and no longer necessary. It is kept alive by those who thrive on victimhood. Modern feminism is nothing more than a haven for those suffering from Munchausen Syndrome.

    It is interesting that you two are trying to reason with this group of men who are willfully ignorant and bigoted. They will refuse to learn anything from you because their sexist ideology has overwhelmed their reason. They live in a more primitive state where tribalism reigns and any form of empathy is denigrated as a sign of weakness.

    As opposed to living in a feminist fantasy world?
