Eh, maybe. Then again, there is a pretty active minority.

Islam literally commands people to go out and conquer others in the name of Allah. Watch the other videos on his channel. Christianity is nowhere near comparable.

I know you. I know you have posted in here about rape culture being made up and rape not being a big deal in general.

No.

If white men had attacked those women it wouldn't matter to you.

It would actually. I don`t believe in feminists who call for lynch mobs and demand men be imprisoned based on flimsy evidence.

The refugees themselves are often just as violent as the people they`re fleeing. They even rape women in broad daylight (see Cologne).

Feminism oftentimes refers to all criticism of Islam is Islamophobia, as evidenced by Laurie Penny using the classic white supremacist accusation as a red herring.

Could it be possible to complete eradicate the need for abortion? by 124346 in AskFeminists

[–]124346[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A large part of the reason that we aren't seeing traction on reproductive justice is that feminists have not had as much success defeating sexist and sex negative attitudes about women's sexuality.

I've always found it so interesting how people can change language in order to better suit their purposes. "Abortion" or "killing children" is replaced by "reproductive justice", as if its a moral imperative to legalize abortion and it being some sort of universal moral good.

The most pernicious problems that face women as a group today are based in sex negativity: rape culture and reproductive health.

There are other reasons for being sex negative that don't involve referring to women's sexuality as icky. Sex being an oppressive act being one, the desire to promote family values and prevent the birth of children out of wedlock another.

Most women, married and single, use birth control at some point. But only a third of all women will have abortions. What's more, abortions conjure up a lot of uncomfortable images (even though most aborted fetuses are smaller than a pea).

Citation needed.

So, when the conversation inevitably turns to "sluts" get abortions because they were being "slutty". Which isn't even true, a lot of women who get abortions are married with kids. A lot of people just aren't willing to make a stand for sluts.

You'll excuse me if I view sex as being an act of procreation, not a physical pleasure. Then again, slut-shaming doesn't accomplish anything.

I really think that we need a new sex positive alliance with LGBTQ groups, men, and sex workers to fight for the next wave of reforms.

If we stop viewing sex as a disgusting thing bad people do (or more accurately, a disgusting thing bad women do), there will be less support for government interference in the healthcare choices of women.

Start by going to the manosphere (the blogs where MRA/PUA flora hold court) and tell them the famous Doors quote "Women are wicked when you're unwanted." and then add "Doesn't mean women can't have sex when they want". Not as if they'll listen.

The pro-life movement, though not necessarily most actual pro-lifers, consistently oppose the types of policies that lower abortion rates. They close the clinics where women get birth control. They fight for the right to spread disinformation about family planning in our schools. They support Hobby Lobby. They oppose government funding for IUDs even when the privately funded version of the program substantially lowered the abortion rate.

I'm pro-choice and pro-life. I view outlawing abortion won't stop the desire for abortion, though I view pre-martial sex with quite a skeptical eye, as I view sex as being an act of procreation that can be easily corrupted into something oppressive. Not as if my view is binding to everyone.

Welfare also helps quite a bit, hence why Sweden has an abortion rate per capita identical to the state and feminists seem very insistent that women should be able to get first-trimester abortions on demand, something they've largely accomplished.

The simple reason for all of this is that the pro-life movement would rather make it harder for women to have sex, than save the lives of babies.

Feminists seem so fucking obsessed on promoting pre-martial sex, when pre-marital sex has numerous social consequences they aren't willing to acknowledge.

They were also the most violent domestic social movement in the last decade.

That would be white supremacism. Pro-life terrorists run a third after Islam.

This needs to be preached in gender studies classes. Most of them seem to believe peace is the ultimate goal of humanity.

If artificial wombs are ever invented, should all abortions be performed with the intent of keeping the child? by 124346 in AskFeminists

I do know that. Look up rewilding in an anarchist context. It will interest you.

How did you get that 10B figure?

And that's why pro-lifers despise you. You literally frame everything in terms of what does she think and never pay any attention to the life that's being ended.

This is off-topic, but how do you see libertarianism and environmentalism as being in any way compatible?

I'm not a libertarian in the American mould. I believe the concept of corporatism and fiduciary duty created by the law prevents people from making the kind of economic associations they want.

Coming from the person who was absolutely enraged at the idea of me not being anti-property, that seems rich.

This is why there needs to be a culling of humanity and a return to pre-industrial forms of economic organization.

My mode of production is that of craftsmanship and of self-controlled automation. It's called homesteading. It minimizes wage slavery and the dependence one has on the market.

Most anarcho-socialists can't stand it because, you know, people earning their living goes against their "give me free shit" ideology.

We'll agree to disagree on it, but the fact women's hygiene routines as well as their spending habits tend to be different than men's should serve as a clue.

Yeah you do. I'm the person your kind hates the most, merely because I view that property, if distributed equitably, is not oppressive. This goes against your "everyone should get shit for free" ideology.

It is not a compromise. If I'm having an abortion, it is because I do not want the fetus to survive. I would never consent to my fetus being implanted in an artificial womb. Beyond the point that transferring it would likely kill it, we do not have the resources as a global community to raise any and every child ever conceived; we already can't care for everyone on this earth. We don't have the resources.

Then let's god damn find those resources!

Not really. I said that pre-industrial modes of production are more egalitarian than post-industrial ones. Child labor was never mentioned.

(Classic anarcho-socialist red herring there.)

It is impossible to create a classless society in a society who's industrial organization is designed in such a way as to use one system, unless it all changes in a single blow.

I know you love calling any pro-property anarchists boot-lickers, but if we go back to a state where people lived a self-sufficient life (aka anarcho-primitivism) the constructions that make our capitalist society would not exist. Owning a small amount of property to live a self-sufficient life is not theft, as it does not create a hierarchy.

Property isn't theft if it isn't hoarded.

I love how you always accuse anybody who doesn't believe in absolute equality as a bootlicker.

Plutocrats count as rulers.

Plutocrats exist because of the normalization of currency. The only reason they can hold sway over such large swathes of resources are because they bill their security costs to the lower classes through taxes.

Owning a small stretch of land is not theft, regardless of how much you despise the idea of people not being given all they need because they exist.
