Did you order your men to set fire to fishing boats in the Persian gulf or something

And bring back krellin

No that's what the Spanish conquistadors did when they landed in Mexico. So there was not chance to change their minds and turn back. Burn the boats! Burn the boats! Burn the boats! Burn the boats!

Actually brain, we would rescue people who were stranded. Sinking innocents is not what the United States Navy does.

And one iranian jetliner notwithstanding, we tend to leave innocent aircraft alone too.

"Nothing i've said is factually inaccurate or woman-hating, and I was not aware of another "MRA filled thread.""

Yeah you did. Women are not better paid, and you made an inference about the correlation of happiness that has incredibly sexist implications and is likely also just false stat on its own. I want to see a credible cite for that. And the mansplaining thread is where you belong, shoo. No one cares that you don't like women gaining back their autonomy. This is for celebrating inspirational women, if you can't do that leave. You're another one who should have been silenced long ago for those racist comments you made.

Begone vile man begone witchu

There have been numerous studies showing that women under thirty in the developed west earn far more than their male counterparts. As that is the demographic I occupy, it is absolutely true in my experience that women are better paid than men.

Likewise, there have been psychiatric studies that have observed a downward trend in general female happiness as child-rearing, motherhood and community have taken a backseat to cat-rearing, professional life and societal atomisation.

I have no objections to women having their autonomy, but it is my belief that men and women are complementary beings and both function best and are happiest when they are at peace with one another.

My personal inspirations include Jeanne d'Arc, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Elizabeth I and Matilde di Canossa.

Boner jams! Boner jams! Boner jams! Boner jams!

Yeah you're a straight sexist. Solid. Not engaging. Get lost. Don't make me mute this thread.

It is not sexist to say that men and women being at each other's throats is unhealthy not only for them as individuals but for society as a whole.

a) men and women aren't at each other's throats lol??? what kind of weird reality are you living.
b) it is incredibly sexist to say or imply people should conform to gender roles for the greater good of society

Agitators like yourself accuse people who stand up for men's rights as "woman-haters". This necessarily contributes to an antagonistic atmosphere between the sexes.

I don't care whether people conform to gender roles or not.

I believe that people are happier and healthier when they do.

Absolutely not. People I fight with don't stand up for men's rights as equality. They stand up for men's rights to the detriment of equality and other people's rights. That is absolutely not acceptable, and that is the problem with MRA. The feminist movement fights for the equality of all genders and people.

You're wrong, you have no perspective on this, and you should probably stop spreading your wrong thoughts on it.

Yes, Croak, ignorance is bliss. We all know that. Since when does that make it rightfor one to stop fighting for the place in society that they want?

I'm sorry that my wrongthink upsets you, but merely asserting that I have no perspective without providing evidence of this supposed "activism to the detriment of equality" only showcases your own amateurish understanding of the complex issue of gender relations.

Men face an epidemic of suicide and homelessness, and it's frankly ludicrous to suggest that reducing male homelessness and suicide would be a "detriment" to female rights, freedoms and equality.

No, I'm all about lowering rates of suicide and homelessness for men and women, with special attention to groups that suffer from these more whether this is men in general, men with mental disabilities, men of colour, etc. Why would you ever assume I wasn't. This is an issue if you say things like "this is more important than women's problems" which most MRA do. And then the flat out lies about wages and work and happiness correlation.

Why are there so many gross people on this forum?

Fight all you want, bo_sox. I admire anyone who can make a success of themselves.

I have not lied, DO, and solving issues like homelessness and suicide absolutely is more important than ensuring free abortions for all.

Why the fuck are you allowed to comment on this thread and derail it

(Claims studies exist)
(Does not prove)

(Thinks that the only tenant of feminism is abortions for 100% of society, unironically)
(Thinks lifting up inspiring women inherently means putting down all men)

I admire DO for continuing to engage some of the meat puppets on this thread in a civil manner.

I am responding to you, DO. I thought in a thoughtful, patient and polite manner.

TrPrado, I have read and understood the studies I mention, but I am not in the habit of compulsively noting down the sources of everything I read. To do so would be prohibitive in an age when vast reams of scholarly research are literally a click away. However, you have at your fingertips the most powerful information technology ever known to man, so if you want to look them out yourself you can do so.

In fact I encourage it. Perhaps we can have an intelligent discussion about it when you're up to speed.

Lifting up inspiring women does not mean putting down all men, and the most notable issue I have personally witnessed feminist campaigning about is abortion. If you would like to tell me about the other issues they campaign about please do enlighten me.

Abortion? That isn't even an issue in Canada you should maybe take your geographical outlook into consideration as it might help you think beyond your little bubble sometimes. There are all kind of things that feminism looks at that impacts both women and men, such as domestic abuse, wage gaps, sexual harassment, representation, revenge porn, objectification, etc etc etc.

Mm. Domestic abuse is a problem, for sure.

kind of sad how some people when they are losing an argument just want to mute threads and people. Just goes to show that they don't believe in freedom of speech, which of course we already knew, but still. Some of these people are just sad. I hope they can get some help, you know?

@ND

I understand what you're saying but muting people isn't a freedom of speech thing. It's just blocking, doesn't do anything to the other person but prevent them from seeing your stuff and vis-versa. They can still talk just fine.

You don't find sexual harassment, wage gaps, poor representation in government, revenge porn, and objectification problems C&D?
