Wow! Now, imagine if you will if women were able to do this. Voila! A beautiful and better planet.

There'd be no internet, no electricity, no cars, no roads, no wheel, no fire. Women would be naked, free bleeding, living in caves, eating roots and berries, getting eaten by lions trying to drink from the river cause they ain't got no damn wells and no weapons to protect themselves.

That's not a better world, nudity aside.

LOL! Spoken like a true misogynist.

You are both misogynist. The very claim that if women were in charge things would be better is based on nothing more than a sexist claim that women are better.

Women are better. That you do not understand the meaning of misogynist suggests you cannot comprehend the initial thought of the thread. Perhaps you should search for something more meaningful on terra firma???

Mysandry then, it is the same thing. Why do you make comments like "that's misogyny" as if it is itself an argument against something; as if it is inherently wrong, when your are a mysandrist yourself? Do you not see the irony.

All the evidence strongly indicates that women on their own could not survive, let alone thrive. A woman on her own is proud of being a "strong independent woman". Her greatest achievement is to survive in a fully developed modern society where she can pay men to do all the things she can't do herself. Women aspire to reach that level of female greatness. A man who lives like that is a loser. A man who does not take up the responsibility to take care of and raise a family is literally less than what is the basic expectation from men. It is not enough that he is "independent" and can literally do all of the basic home and auto repair, travel the world, sculpt his body, etc. That stuff is not even the extent of what is expected of men and it is already exceeding the greatest aspiration of women.

Everyone just accepts this, and that is why the go to insult against men is "your single". While at the same time being a compliment for women.

Misogyny is inherently wrong. Misandry? A little. Women can achieve far more than men give her credit. Why should we accept the role of men in society when there have been many matriarchy cultures throughout history? I don't need a man to do basic home and auto repair - nor do I need a sculpted man in my bed. Perhaps you are stereotyping based on your own needs. Many existing Western and Eastern cultures are premised on male deities that have subjugated women to subservient status - they are simply breeding vessels - not unlike the forced birther laws being enacted in many US states. That, by definition, is misogyny. My grandmother was born just before women were given right to vote - why did it take nearly 130 years before the 19th Amendment was passed giving women that right? Men have led by subjugation of women. So, my premise is that it is better being single than being maidservant to a man who looks upon a women as chattel.

They are literally the same thing.

They are both sexist points of view that ignore facts. They are equally wrong.

Source?

I can, in theory, invent teleportation. Is it wrong for anyone to doubt that I can? Should I receive a blank check from the government to do that because it will revolutionize the world?

Doubt in your abilities is part of being human. Men are also faced with people not believing they can do things that they can. The answer to that is not to demand people have more faith in your abilities, because a lot of the time you really can't do the things you fully believe you can. No one should be forced to have an opinion that way. That is fascism. Wokeness is fascism.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

LOL! Uh huh. Equating woke with fascism rates along the lines of white boys being black. Ciao, honeycakes. You are the equivalent of an AI chatbot.

Not an argument. Typical low IQ name calling followed by a quick exit because you got offended but are wrong.

Fascism is the top down enforcement of policy. Forcing people to accept certain beliefs is a top down enforcement of policy. Therefore it is fascistic.

I don't need a man to do basic home and auto repair

But you are proud of that like it is an achievement. Why? That is expected of all men, even losers.

At the risk of going off on a tangent, the claim itself is pretty meaningless because some people will tape up a fallen light fixture with duct tape and call that a home repair. The spectrum in the quality and complexity of maintenance that people do is insanely wide, yet they all claim they can do repairs.

Men are biologically programmed to be curious about systems and that means that they go through their entire life analyzing how things work. That make them better at fixing things. Far more men will completely tear apart an appliance like a washer to save money on repairs than women.

The only reason you deny that fact is because you think that is an argument about the value of men and women and it sends your ego into defense mode.

Because those cultures are extinct for a reason.

Western society is not premised on dieties. Frankly it is women who gravitate towards religious dogmas and spirituality. Western society is built on function. At lest until recently when everything started getting subverted. Gender roles are pragmatic and they work. People with separate roles working together are far more productive and happy. They are not fighting for dominance, stepping on each other's toes, trying to master twice as many roles because they both need to do everything because neither will handle anything on their own. It is worse than being on your own. A partnership with separate roles is far better.

That, by definition, is misogyny.

If a man were to kick a pregnant woman in the stomach and kill the baby that man is guilty of murder too, so anti abortion laws are literally the opposite of sexism. That is equality. The problem is that as a woman with female privilege equality feels like oppression to you.

why did it take nearly 130 years before the 19th Amendment was passed giving women that right

Because voting used to be a responsibility not a privilege. It was the mans responsibility to be educated and informed and vote for his family. It was never an oppression, that is an ignorant political spin used to push far left propaganda.

By every non subjective metric single women are worse off. You fully know that which is why you had to add all that bullshit about bing chattel to your statement.

not unlike the forced birther laws

Infanticide is murder. No one is forcing anyone to get pregnant.
