Men and women basically make up 50% of the population each, more or less.

As long as we keep trying to blame society’s problem on one sex or the other, we’re never going to solve anything.

I personally think most problems in society, however, are more related to class than either gender or even race. If we can find a way to reduce income inequality (specifically between the rich and the poor) then I honestly think a lot of these issues would work themselves out naturally.

The weird thing is that this weirdo has more money than it is even possible for him or us to comprehend.

He could lose 99% of his net worth and still be one of the richest men alive.

Israel is definitely an existential threat to the United States. They are trying their best to get us involved in multiple wars.

They also have congress and the presidency bought.

We are basically funding the genocide they are committing. Meanwhile, Israel has universal health care and lots of other social safety nets that American citizens do not.

A few years ago we had a problem with teenage girls in the bathroom. Basically made it unusable for most of the day.

Glad to say they have now graduated college and the problem worked itself out.

Yes, I was being facetious… that’s what the “no, wait” was meant to convey

(I was agreeing with you I should have used the /s thing but I assumed it was obvious for everything before the “no, wait”)

Pretty sure a lot of that guy’s audience is teenage boys.

There’s something he is speaking towards that resonates. This needs to be addressed with open mind and open heart. Calling them all pieces of shit and the other flavorful language you are using only serves to further entrench them in their beliefs.

Men and boys have real and genuine problems that need to be acknowledged and addressed. Some of these problems are perceived problems, others are factual and documented and proven.

I don’t think your strategy will be very successful.

No. See, feminism just means that women and men should be equal.

Misogyny, hating women… and misandry, hating men… are not the same at all!

No, wait…

Saying that one half of the population’s problems are more important than the the other half of the population’s problems is by definition misandry and or misogyny….

It should be obvious that women have problems and issues that impact them more than others, and that if women are discriminated against it hurts all of us…

It should also be obvious that men have problems and issues that impact them more than others, and that if men are discriminated against it hurts all of us…

Acknowledging that both men and women have issues and problems is something that some of us find difficult to do. I personally think that arguing over who has it worse is counter productive and does more harm than good.

I personally don’t think feminism is the answer to inequity of the sexes. But it has been successful in getting society to acknowledge a lot of the systemic barriers women have faced. I also dont think we really would like the way “equality” would actually look like. “Equity” I believe would feel a lot better.

It’s not really milk.

We should just call it pea. Already reminds us of a liquid.
