This is not a narrative, folks. This is reality. Anyone with a single grain of sense can recognize how sickly and impoverished someone's mind has become when they try to pass this off as a narrative that exists to serve some #killallmen agenda.

Arthur Chu was absolutely right about people like this, so I'll link his article again for those who didn't get to read it in the other thread:

The Plight of the Kagatob: Why so many awkward, shy guys end up hating feminism

No it isn't.



It's a movement in which there are varying degrees of opinions and political differences. Feminists of any level of intelligence know this, and don't go about making the claim that there is one specified, truest form of feminism.

The pay gap has more to do with systematic/structural oppression than flagrant discrimination, although discrimination is certainly a form that oppression can take. Systematic oppression is a result of the patriarchal aspects of our society - it allows male-dominated industries and legislation to go unchecked, while keeping women subjugated and beneath the dominion of men. Although we've certainly made progress since the start of the 20th century - the ways in which oppression and subjugation occur are now often difficult to pinpoint and expose - there is still progress to be made.



Systematic/structural oppression also means that women are and have always been less educated than men. This is a big contributor to the pay gap, but I'd also argue that it reinforces the very subjugation that keeps women less educated and less informed. This is why whenever I hear the argument that women statistically perform worse than men in any field, it doesn't resonate with me at all. Of course they perform worse than men do, that's the whole point of the oppression and subjugation in the first place.



According to whom? You?



A best-guess percentage pulled out of thin air really doesn't mean anything.



That's strange, I spend a lot of time around feminists and haven't noticed any of these hypocrisies. Not a single one.

All you did was say "No" to allt he points he made.

Typical feminist shoving fingers in their ears and shouting NO I CANT HEAR YOU LALALALLALALALALA

And you wonder why the rest of the world thinks you're a joke.

And quite eloquently, I might add. Unlike you, however, JurisDictum actually responded to most of the things I brought up instead of resorting to petty insults that say more about the discomfort you've apparently experienced in grappling with feminist concepts than they do in actually insulting feminism.

Here's a piece of advice: if you want to discredit something that someone wrote, you should probably read it first of all and seek to gain some kind of understanding of the subject matter.

Man, this is comedy gold!

I thought rape culture was a seed/oil based yogurt alternative for vegans. I didn't realise I was sexually assaulting females simply by existing until I came to p99!

Jesus Christ Mr Bundy, quit raping everyone with your rape penis words.

Its because the war is won but there still in fight mode. They've run out of legitimate issues to address, so now there trying to fabricate petty Shit to be outraged by to legitimize themselves.

I think that to some extent, it's a valid point considering the amount of money being spent on women's issues.

Declaring that equality is achieved would translate into key feminist figures and entire organizations to lose their jobs and funding.

Kind of like scaring people with threats to national security to boost defense spending, or keep saying that marijuana is a dangerous drug to keep law enforcement budgets high.
