Is feminism really about taking down men and putting women in charge? because if so I'm glad of it. I can't wait to be owned by women. my body is ready.

As a feminist, I believe it's sexist that men can go topless but women can't. Women should be encouraged to go topless.

Unless they're old/ugly in which case it would be just as inappropriate as an old/ugly man going topless and that's not sexism that's just common sense.

actually, head feminist Andrea Dworkin advocates for the use of cloning technology to allow women to reproduce asexually. this way men can go extinct and feminism can win its final victory

Actually clone based reproduction would ultimately fail. The problem is that over time you have genetic degradation from carbon decay and loss in the DNA sequence, so you have to have a constant supply of fresh blood from a plexed gene pool to refresh the rudimentary sequence and refesh the organism to the current gene swarm in the time cypher. So realistically in a state of medical perfection a clone based reproduction sequence could expect a longevity of around 800 years before total extinction.

I think women could just remove their milk ducts and go topless short of just wearing pasties. :shrug:

yeah but what if you're growing sperm in vitro and injecting another woman's DNA into it with GGT maybe using viruses or something so you still have genetic mixing?

Who cares what label someone uses, talk to them. TALK TO THEM.

There are a billion feminists out there that I find absolutely insane

There are a billion "Equalist/egalitarian" people out there that I mostly agree with

Hell, I've encountered a couple of people identifying as "MRA" who 1. know and admit there's a huge, poisonous chunk of crazy in their movement and 2. share every important opinion and ideal I have

BTW, several years ago, I made a deal with myself. I would consider identifying primarily as an egalitarian once I went six months without a dude listening to my core beliefs and ideals and then condescendingly informing me I'm actually an egalitarian

I discount all instances where the conversation is respectful

I discount all instances where my own personal beliefs are not discussed at least fairly thoroughly

I discount all instances where there's obvious trolling or attempts to piss me off

One time I made it four months


It doesn't really matter now because I use the above "JUST loving TALK TO PEOPLE" method more than anything these days, purposefully not identifying with anything in the conversation

but it still makes a point

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Maybe quit saying that women make 78 cents for every dollar a man makes in almost every profession. That's been debunked a hundred times.

women should get an automatic +25% bonus on all pay cheques, so that the average works out to be even with men!

I looked into it and the women working at my company make the same amount as me, so basically that proves feminism wrong I guess. But they can still give all women automatic raises if they want cuz I have a joint checking account with my wife so the patriarchy strikes again!

see what I mean lol it's just people creating a strawman and then getting mad about it

like my dude "we can just clone women forever and men will die off" is obviously the position of a person nuttier than Dale Gribble why would you even give that the time of day

I mean wasn't lena Dunham at the democratic convention or whatever, i think you're really downplaying how much this stuff is pushed as the media face of progressives. I totally agree that plenty of irl people who care about these issues are chill and reasonable about them but at some point you have to admit that you pretty much need to willfully tune out the bad side because it's incredibly prevalent.

As a feminist though, I don't think that's a very outlandish idea. I consider it a pretty good overall goal for humanity. It's not like we are going to extinguish all living men but rather phase them out over time. I think they are still very useful now. Definitely required equipment. but I don't feel the far future has any real need for them.

Ok here's the fatal flaw with your plan even aside from genetic drift and DNA degrading (let's say we figure a solution to that out):

you're assuming women are somehow in 100% control of cloning and that only women will get cloned and that as a result men will die out when there's absolutely no indication that it won't just be both sexes cloning themselves

also prove that people are going to suddenly not want to gently caress just bc cloning exists.



also this 'phase them out' over time poo poo is exactly the adversarial mentality that feeds nutter men who can then point to you and go 'see she wants to wipe men out' and justify their nuttiness

also also the far future has no needs at all it isn't a sentient thing that cares. Humans could wipe themselves out in a nuclear holocaust tomorrow and 'the future' will be fine without any of us.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
