1 AnswerOther - Health1 decade agoWhy do feminists have to assert that they are for equality?
Surely their actions should point to them being for equality if they were? You don't see civil rights movement leaders being questioned of whether they are seeking equality, yet femisites are.
Why is this?
12 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoWould a mother who wanted their child, having a miscarriage be similar to?
A father who wanted the child but she got an abortion? Neither of them have either control over it. Would the father be in a worse situation? Where someone else did it deliberatly?
Just a though
11 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoWhat do you make of this quote? Feminists?
"guys can be alot less reliable than women so therefore their worries are understandable and also you have generalised a bit there, no need to be so sexist!"
So she is both generalising AND being sexist, then saying not to generalise or be sexist. This is in relation to the male contraceptive pill.
8 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoWhy are men satisfied with less revealing clothing?
In the heat? It works for them, so why not avoid getting called a slut and wear what the men wear :)
If you wear a whores uniform, expect to be treated like one.
6 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoIf I walk around wearing a straightjacket, or perhaps high heels and a miniskirt will I be treated differently?
Cause...you know its not just women who get 'disrespect' (sexual attention) from wearing clothing, the reaction you get varies between what your wearing.
Go on, wear a suit whilst you go work in the mines, what will the miners say?
5 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoSo if, in Great Britain, the only right men have is to serve in certain parts of the military...?
Edit - Only right men have that women don't.
9 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoWhat extra rights do I have as a male in Great Britain?
I mean laws, not the 'oh you get paid more' pay gap myth, I mean laws. What laws and protection do men have that women don't?
And what laws and protection do women hvve that men don't?
6 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoHow passionatte is your support/defense against modern western feminism?
12 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoMothers, imagine if your partner aborted your child without you knowing (hypothetical situation)?
How crushed and angry would you be? Say you wanted to keep the child?
Isn't it similar when men have their children aborted against their will? It seems strange to me that theres outcry when MRAs ask for a 'financial abortion as even then they would have less rights than the woman.
It seems to me that when it comes to children it is 0% rights for the father and 50% responsability.
But back to the main question, imagine if that happened to you?
11 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoWhy am I a woman hater?
Sorry Rawr, Sam, Plant, and Nathan, had to be done ;)
4 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoIs it justified to trash feminism and the feminist movement?
Because of those with the most influence and power ARE sexists and ARE insane? Or should we judge feminism with the average feminist instead of the influential ones?
10 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoCan we just clear this up?
Anti-feminism is opposition of the feminist movement, no the promotion of men's rights :)
Whether the dictionary definition of feminism is still valid, there are plenty of self called 'feminists' who don't go by this definition, and plenty of Men's right activists that do.
Equalists tend to support everyone getting equal rights, but I've noticed they seem to have a trend (here at least) of being anti-feminist.
IS there any other terminology I need to know/gotten wrong?
4 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoAre mirror questions just a way to make yourself look intelligant and witty whilst not knowing a lot?
Mischief - I find they lower yourself to below the abusrdity of the original question, and give you all the bad traits associated with the questioner.
3 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoWhy do some users try to prove that one gender is better than the other?
This is just something I've noticed here, for some reason more common among feminists and trolls (feminist trolls?)
I will give an example...
"However, women seem to do best of all, beating out men's times in open ocean water marathon swimming.

The entire question 'What athletic advantages to women have?" followed up by "What advantages does a female soldier have" reeks of trying to find fuel for a gender war.
Why are so many people here so bent on argueing their gender is better than the other?
6 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoWhy are there less inventions by women?
Is it something to do with the fact men are more represented at the extremes of the IQ range? Perhaps gender roles meant that men would benifit more from these inventions? Perhaps women weren't allowed to invent or had the ideas taken from them?
Or perhaps it is a combination of these, dispite what MRAs and feminists try to say?
