    It's about time - five pages was quite enough. I commend your decision.

    So that statement is an error in logic, "confirmation bias". You should study to informed your views not to support them.

    I wonder if they have laws concerning scrubbing of the foreskin and huevos?

    Sure!

    Here's an end statement, feminism is just like any other social movement or philosophy.

    I feel the movement wanted to feel a cause in later stages so that it could create a situational cycle.


    Is interesting that even in America a country where racial opression went more for that than of gender issues, feminism is a way bigger platform/issue than BLM/civil rights, LGBT issues, fighting poverty and disability rights.


    I will appreciate feminism for at least allowing more flow for men to show their feelings and lay down often dangerous activities. However, at the same time this has caused men to lose a lot of confidence and authority.

    Is a win-lose situation right here.

    Sorry kiddo but you don't have the power to put the brakes on this thread. I still have a number of additional GIFs to post.

    It certainly is when anything a male says or does in the presence of a female becomes a potential affront. Interacting with females starts to feel like walking across a mine-field. You never know when things might explode.

    My interests are in philosophy and the history of ideas. I'm fascinated by the historical, intellectual, religious and scientific traditions. I'm not willing to dismiss the bulk of intellectual history as the work of "dead white males". (Or Indian or Chinese males.)

    I like to treat everyone around me well. Unlike Steve Levicoff, I don't take pleasure in other people suffering. So I try to treat everyone else with consideration for their feelings. That means that I try to make women happy and comfortable and I try not to behave in ways they don't like or say unnecessarily provocative things to them.

    I just wish that some of them would have equal concern for my feelings and would check their aggressive feminism at the door when they talk to me.

    But it doesn't always work that way. It never does with SJWs, social interactions are never symmetrical or reciprocal with them. In their world, they must never be offended while they have every right to offend you. The reason is that they perceive themselves as the righteous ones and good must never be silenced. Anyone who disagrees with them is evil, and evil must never be tolerated.

    It's basically the same emotional attitude that led to heretics being burned at the stake in past centuries. That's why I refer to our contemporary world as a neo-puritan age, filled with dressed-in-black moralists waving their fingers in other people's faces while shrieking "racist! sexist! bigot!" instead of the older "sinner!" It's the same psychological dynamic.

    So... avoiding people like that is about all that an intelligent sane person can do.

    I mean if you think about it, even black male slaves did more for this country than white women. And I feel as if black male slaves never actually get the appreciation or AT least respect for their hardships. I am not saying them being enslaved was a good thing, just that their sacrifice barely gets the credit and respect it deserves. All this whining about how the West was always a hardcore patriarchy, yet you beg to wonder why there was always more male slaves of any ethnicity. Black men were also bigger targets of lynching and police brutality, yet here we are concerning what the definitions of rape and harassment are :rolleyes:

    Double quote, but anyways...

    And I also don't get why people continue to act like if civil rights activists and feminists were always allies, never. THEY WERE NEVER allies, not even disguise. I mean black feminism didn't even become mainstream until the mid 70s.

    Nineteenth century feminists were also abolitionists. They worked to get blacks the vote before they themselves got the vote. And there were many women in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s before the women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Know your history!

    Okay, I laughed a good one. Although it is not so unusual to shampoo foreskin is it? I use shampoo as body wash in the shower daily. Does that count? Or maybe that was a euphemism for something else (can't image what though?).
