I feel like a lot of people who claim to be advocating for feminism these days seem to be of the opinion that women actually CAN'T work alongside men or in a male-run workplace. It seems to be taken to an absolutely patronizing extreme now, where everyone has to walk on eggshells to avoid saying anything remotely upsetting, where women undergo "emotional labor" and there's more terminologies and phrases and poo poo to somehow blame any hardship a woman encounters professionally on some external force, robbing her of all actual agency since she's essentially shackled to a shadowy patriarchy that is responsible for all her failures (and ultimately overshadows any of her successes). I fail to see how anything I've read on Tumblr would be a valuable role model for any of the dozens of actually talented women whom I know.

Men and women are more like each other than they like to admit. Both are very stupid and horrible.

Also sexual reproduction exists so evolution can occur more easily and you get better genes. A species of clones will be myopic and likely doomed to extinction. A single disease could wipe them all out in one shot. You need genetic diversity. The racial purity of Adolf Hitler and similar ilk is a fool's errand. You want purity, check out hosed up European royalty or messed up dog breeds like pugs. Go forth and make some mixed babies.

It's almost like most women value life-work balance, including taking more flexible schedules and less dangerous jobs than men, resulting less income as measured by dollars.

Balanced, of course, by women controlling the vast majority of discretionary spending in households. As is true of many societies where men take all the risk to gather resources.

473% PAY GAP AMIRITE!!?!? Women literally have to pay men just to be able to work, I saw an example on Jezebel where this was true in some tiny third-world nation so obviously it's true of all women worldwide since women are one single homogenous collective who are all connected be radios in their vajoobers family guy reference honk.

Sorry I just came from talking to a feminist who had to let me know that she read an article on HuffPo about how terrible it was that some newspapers that had pictures of Bill Clinton on the day Hillary got the nomination.

I mean Jesus Christ, it is the year before 2017.

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/07/27/bill-clinton-newspapers-hillary-clinton_n_11225280.html

So in the real world, Bill Clinton was the biggest speaker to take the DNC stage by the time early deadline papers went to print, and papers that had a late edition included pictures of Hillary from the DNC once they were available.

But why didn't the papers just ignore the DNC going on and just use older stock photos of Hillary Clinton since she's all that matters in American politics?

Because you're still asking that question.

That said, can you explain how modern feminism at all attempts to create equality between the sexes? What great inequality actually remains to be solved? Even abortion is protected under rule of law now, even if many culturally oppose it.

EDIT: To clarify, how does modern (third wave) feminism seek to elevate women, rather than pull down men? How does talk of privilege accomplish this?

A lot of modern day feminism is trying to adjust attitudes with regards to gender inequality. It's convincing men that it's not okay to have sex with a drunk passed out woman at a party, or that transwomen are in fact still people and have a right to use the public bathroom of their choice.

No, but they are ignorant to what transgenderism is and are probably victims to news media hysteria that is creating a boogeyman that doesn't really exist.

But if a woman is uncomfortable with a man wearing a dress or make up being in her bathroom, isn't that a completely normal response? At what point did one have a right to be the gender they want? I've seen a few openly trans people and they are essentially indistiguishable from men, save that they wear feminine clothing. I can't fathom how anyone would expect the majority of women to be okay with sharing a restroom with a person who does not resemble a woman outside of a few superficial details.

EDIT: And besides maybe on Fox News, has the media been anything but overly pro-trans people lately? Caitlyn Jenner gets magazine spreads, the Target bathrooms thing got a ton of coverage and they didn't even bring up any of the "other side" issues like the rate of post-op suicides or anything like that.

See, one is entering a bathroom in good faith and just wants to poop and then get out of there. The other is a man exploiting a sensitive subject and wants to creep on women. All of the cases involving this so far that the media has reported on, have been men that identify as men, they dress like normal men do, and they went into a bathroom to sexually assault women and used transfenderism as a copout.

Yes, but what's to prevent that from continuing to happen? Again, what IS to stop a guy from dressing up in women's clothing and creeping under that excuse? That's not a hysterical concern, is it?

Why wasn't this an issue before? Were trans people just not using the bathrooms they want for all these years, or had they managed to poo poo in secret up until now? Why should we tear down a perfectly reasonable social barrier simply to cater to an incredibly small minority of people, benefitting them superficially at the detriment to literally everyone else?

Why is it fair to hold federal education funding hostage until gender neutral bathrooms are created? For that matter, is it REALLY healthy to stick a prepubescent boy full of hormones, have them surgically altered so they can enter puberty "as a girl"? Is that...does that sound even remotely disturbing to you?

Hmm yes, let's drive down the cost of employment so that an average household requires two full-time jobs, send women to war and pit the sexes against one another across all spectrums. We can just convince women that this is somehow benefiting them (because woman are dumb you see) and call it a day.

I think the core of these issues is that terms such as "feminism" have pretty much lost their meaning because people will identify themselves as feminists and say whatever the gently caress

That, plus feminists have kind of a bad reputation that they sorta bring upon themselves. I guess a lot of people don't really understand how saying they love to drink male tears, all sex is rape and getting violently angry and offended at everything might be off-putting to outsiders
