"No, you can't have unity if one side is always blaming the other because people don't give a shit about a group of people they consider oppressors."

The more money I have to pay for child support, the less I have for paying for my own healthcare, the more time I'll be spending working potentially dangerous jobs, and the more stress I'll endure leading to an earlier death.

So you are defending women's right to make personal decisions even if they have a devastating effect on the child, right after you said men are obligated to throw their lives under the bus for "the best interests of the child." Go to hell.

If you want that end goal you're going to have to jettison the name feminism and patriarchy theory. Can't have unity if one side is more to blame than the other.

I'm not familiar with gender essentialism. Patriarchy theory, to me, is what denies women agency by suggesting that women have been so feeble and weak throughout history to have been subjugated by men.

Same goes for MRA, and while their own feminist and masculist groups keep growing, a common agenda is further away than ever.

And the money for child support happens to be located in his wallet and be generated by productivity using HIS body. I can't use a woman's body for nine months but she can use mine for 18 years?

And these are circumstances created by feminism. I say again, look at how the out of wedlock birth rate compares before and after Second Wave Feminism. Also, studies that control for economic status show the damaging effects of single parenthood.

No it doesn't work both ways. A woman can put her child up for adoption with no further financial obligation, and she can have an abortion. Only men are obligated to care for children they create in society.

Didn't you get the memo? The child is only "half ours" when feminists want to lump us with responsibility. When she wants an abortion, the child is exclusively hers.

It's not single mothers who do emotional damage to children, doofus, it's absent fathers. Single mothers are fucking heroines for doing the job of two people when the other one just can't be bothered.

Just because men are improving slowly doesn't mean the changes in the education system haven't adversely affected them.

I never said we should get rid of classroom advances that have allowed women to succeed,

Men dying is war is way worse than being told to stay at home when the fighting starts for the same reason that being raped is worse than being accused of rape.

I hate this argument. It greatly minimizes how many men were compelled into military service. It also makes combat seem like a pleasant thing instead of a hellish experience. Let's cut the crap, if a young couple went back in time to 1942, he might get drafted into the army, and she wouldn't. And she would be happy,…

i would never call myself a MRA, and i agree with very little of what they have been called out on, in this post. but i get called this a lot.

Oh PUHLEEZE...are you really comparing having to hear catcalls with being forced by the state to register for the draft because of your gender?

AVFM is part of a group that believes women have privilege, (the privilege not to go to war, to not work, to not be sexually available, to be believed if filing a false rape report...) men are oppressed, and patriarchy doesn't exist completely ignoring the power relationships that led to women not going to war, to not…

Sorry but this is pretty funny considering how feminists seem to view the lack of women in STEM fields as something unnatural that needs to change. If we're supposed to accept female domination of higher education as normal and natural then why can't feminists accept male domination of a subset of higher education as…
