How is that a feminist issue? Or is that your point, TC, that they complain about stuff that makes no sense?

It's likely that some of these issues you're describing were cherrypicked to give the impression that they're more common than they really are.

Feminists locally dont wanna go outside of the US to make their pitch. Thats basically the deal. So over the decades youve got a whittling in importance of issues left to tackle.

They totally should, but that, like, requires actual effort and stuff. So the next best thing is to repeat buzzchants at the march while wearing pink hats.

apparently airconidtioning temps are set more with men in mind because they wear longs sleeves, pants and suit jackets to work where as women's clothing is thinner sometimes sleeveless and they wear skirts.

so they don't feel that the room is that cold

Because their lives are so boring they need to play social activist and attempt to relive the glory days of when feminism was actually necessary.

There's this very odd romanticism of past struggles mixed with "college essay syndrome" where they've been instilled the instincts to dig for new and unique problems and extensively discuss them.

I feel like they're going after the wrong thing there.

That's how I've seen most people do it tbh. You do get some going for just the air conditioning, so obviously they are held up to be the standard the rest of us are by those wanting to mock.

Pretty much solved all of those lol. Interesting you bring this up through because feminism is all about equality (apparently egalitarianism means something else in this context) yet I dont get a say about not paying child support if my gf wanted to keep it and I didnt.

Of course, feminists will not ever go to bat for this, they take up issues like air conditioning because they are already treated better than men and are more than equal in this day and age. The reason they havent packed up their sorry excuse for a circus and left town is because everyone wants more. They make the same amount of money for the same job, abortion is legal in many states, they are victims of violence less often than men, they get injured in the job less often than men, they go to college more than men, and men even leave the seat down, now they want to have more of say than men for what tempterature the house is.

There are two types of people in this world who complain about feminists, and quite frankly you're trying to be both.

1) "Feminists complain about stuff that doesn't matter! I'm here and I'm fine and my perspective on life and society is generally good so clearly anything that feminists complain about doesn't matter!" or the "never walked a mile in their shoes" mentality.

2) "Why does it always have to be about THEM? Everyone has problems, not just women! Why won't these feminists march and fight for MY PROBLEMS?" or the "get off your ass and solve your problems yourself instead of expecting women to do it for you" mentality.

Some of these are pretty vague and don't actually encompass specifically feminism, just female tinted generic liberal causes, or not even female tinted at all.

And then you've got the doozy of a chore like "ending violence". That would make sense in less developed countries where it stems from ignorance and cultural norms, but in the first world the kind of violence that happens is much less tackleable by attempting to change cultural perceptions and instead we're talking about stuff like "ending sociopathy", which is rather ambitious.

I think the only truly legitimate feminist cause that could be considered anywhere close to feminism of the past would be maternal leave, and that's rooted in corporatocracy, which we're already working on for a plethora of other reasons.

Basically Women should never think about anything, right? Those aren't petty issues. You're one of of those guys that think people should never discuss anything social justice related but, if you're white and male then that's needed because you guys are really oppressed.

Stop talking. Feminism is evil. Females in the Western World have always had equality but, continually demand more and more. As a White Man I have the Courts stacked against me, I have the Law stacked against me, I have the World stacked against me. 1 word: Rape and my life is over, my career is over, everything I know can be erased in 1 go from a Female. Feminism seeks to emasculate Men, to remove what made us Men. Men have always been though and strong and warriors but, Feminists complain and now we're denutted.

With all that said if Feminism was legit they'd be focusing on impoverished areas in which Females are actually oppressed. yet they don't and that is proof of Female Supremacy.They have all the power in the World and yet choose to complain about petty things that are meaningless. This is a sad sick era we live in now. Feminism has ruined everything.

Are you referring to me? If so 1) air conditioning and the temperature being a bit too low isnt worth bitching about. Put on long sleeves or turn it up, big deal. 2) yeah no, I dont expect anyone to solve my problems but to think that feminists want equality in this day and age is just delusional.

Lol the womens defense force showed up. I see what youre getting at but lets not act like men dont get hurt on the job more due to manual labor being inherently more risky than staying at home or that teachers and stay at home mothers make the same amount as engineers, doctors and lawyers, theyre just paid less because theyre women.

We literally have a president who wants to overturn Roe v Wade and people are acting like feminism has no place in society


Yeah thats probably the most ******ed view from Republicans/conservatives is abortion and birth control. Being denied access to them is a bad idea for reasons I shouldnt have to mention but Jesus Christ pick one or the other. If abortions are illegal, give everyone free birth control and say tough shit when they fuck it up and have to be pushed down stairs or have a friend help with a wire hanger.

Or outlaw birth control and give everyone the option of abortions. This is clearly the most ******ed choice but at least give some options besides pulling out and being pushed down stairs if you get knocked up with a kid you dont want and cannot financially provide for.

You need reading lessons.

What Im saying is conservatives run into clear problems that do not benefit society and these problems can be avoided when law makers use common sense and enact good policies.
