I support equality. I'm a feminist.

Women and children's safety comes first. Beyond that; we're all equals.

Great logic. "We're equal, but you die first if needed."

Is your logic sound?

Would you send your wife or daughters into combat?

Would you respect your son if he did?

Would your father be proud of you for your position on this subject?

Would you send your wife or daughters into combat?

Yes.

Would you respect your son if he did?

Yes.

Would your father be proud of you for your position on this subject?

My father would have sold me for a car tire if he could. He treated my sister like shit because she refused to obey his every whim. There's more to being a father than showing up with a paycheck.

Equality doesn't mean treating people differently for things they have no control over. Humans are people first. Gender second. We should base our perspectives on the actions of the individual and not what society orders us to become.

The girl who picks up gun and wants to fight for her country should have every opportunity to attempt to do so. If she can pass the qualifications like the men standing next to her, then who the fuck are we to tell her no? "Sorry, you have a cunt. Your trigger finger is somehow inferior to the other dudes."

Saying that women aren't allowed the same privileges as men is the same bullshit as forcing them to cover themselves with a hijab.

You have no moral ground to stand on here.

Yes to all lol.

I'll go one step further, women should be the only gender to fight in all future wars.

Something tells me you're a boomer or gen x. Women today are not the same as they used to be. It's every man for himself now.

I think you're confused, bro.

You see, the cuddlefish pretends to be a female.

The cuddlefish flees to safety with the women and the children.

Dignified feminism is the moral equivalent of planting trees.

The forest has burned down and the land has been salted.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I shall continue to plant trees.

Ah so you're just here to stir shit and hate on groups, despite you always telling others not to stir shit and hate on groups?

[–]AnarchySpeach 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It's easy to make fun of group when the stupid things they say can be used against them.

There's also the problem that a small vocal majority are brain dead parrots that only repeat what they're told. While at the same at same time disregarding their previous statements.

All that aside. I freely admit: I am a selfish asshole. If the building is burning, if the boat is sinking, fuck the women and children, I'm not dying to justify an ideology that puts me in last place. Nor would I ask anybody else to.

If a person wants true equality I am all for it. If a person wants to replace someone's spot on the totem poll I retain the full right to laugh at them and tell them to fuck off.

No I reserve subs when I can so as saidit becomes more popular, these won't be moderated by assholes.

So all feminism is the same? I think something like /s/fourthWaveDoneGoofed would be better.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That a great idea.

[–]sproketboy[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

So all news is the same? So all movies is the same? So all whatever is the same?

I'm not a fan of a multipart 100+ year movement being reduced to a stereotype due to modern extremists. But whatever, enjoy.
