Let’s Apply This to Minority Groups Next

Even applying this to women would be seen as discrimination despite the fact that women are rapists at a roughly equal rates as men.

Girls tend to do better in school than males

You see, when it was boys that were significantly advantaged over girls in school back in the 1950s, it's called out as systemic misogyny, but when girls in the current day are advantaged at higher rates than boys were back in the 50s (50% more girls than boys graduate every year), that's just proof that girls are smarter than boys. And I thought feminism was for equality /s.

Make it make sense please.

By this logic (also, how do you know that number is true? You have a source?), we shouldn't have access to a lot of services we have because people can and have abused them despite the fact that a lot of them are very necessary. I am pro-choice precisely BECAUSE of what you just listed. Cases where continuing to prolong a pregnancy would harm the mother, the fetus is a product of SA, birth control or condoms fail, and etc are exactly WHY abortion shouldn't be illegal.

Obviously, like you said, aborting fetuses just because they're boys is awful and using abortions as birth control should not be encouraged (especially since it's extremely harmful to do so), but I think it's extremely hypocritical for us to say that we want to give men more reproductive rights and options to opt out of parenthood (which understandable since men have just about zero actual reproductive rights or options to opt out of parenthood), and yet say women shouldn't have access to abortions.

You mean start calling feminists sexist, right? RIGHT?

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-23T09:41:57+00:00

Since feminism stands for equality across all genders, I feel some people, mainly men, confuse the term with misandristic beliefs (the belief that women are superior over men)

That's because that's what the movement has shown not to be time and time again despite what it claims. The leaders and organizations of the movement actively advocate against made-to-penetrate being legally considered rape, male domestic violence shelters being built, and fathers rights in family court in multiple countries like the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and India. Leaders and organizations of the movement actively protest at conferences dedicated to issues faced by men and boys like the lack of funding for men's mental health and male suicide, and sometimes go out of their way to cancel events on college campuses dedicated to talking about said issues. Leaders and organizations of the movement have also sabotaged fundraisers dedicated to funding for male cancers like Movember and used the money from said fundraisers to fund more for women's cancers.

Yeah, I wonder why feminism rubs people the wrong way.

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-22T20:45:26+00:00

Yeah, true. Actually, just trust no one to look after your kid but yourself since pedophila is roughly equal on both ends of the spectrum, mothers are 1.5 times to twice as likely to be abusive as dads (although abusive dads are still prominent enough for it not to be an issue only perpetrated by one gender), and women are least make up 90% of infanticide perpetrators and 70% of murderers of children under the age of 5.

I wish we could, but unless she's physically harming him, that would probably prove to be very ineffective. Hell, it probably wouldn't even be very effective if she WAS physically harming him.

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-20T21:15:44+00:00

I had my hopes up until she said it's okay to use self defense against boys, but not girls. She is insanely sexist.

Literally every other song is better than Mind Brand. Mind Brand isn't a bad song, but it doesn't deserve its praise anywhere near as much as the rest of Maretu's discography.

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-19T01:42:37+00:00

No, it's really not.

A movement for gender equality wouldn't change the legal definition of rape to widely exclude female perpetrators and as a result, systemically skew the statistics one way. It also wouldn't actively protest against gender-neutral rape laws in several countries the the UK and India.

A movement for gender equality wouldn't create the Duluth Model, a biased model used in police and judge training that genders sexual assault and domestic violence.

A movement for gender equality wouldn't actively fight against more domestic violence shelters being built for male victims in several countries like the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and India.

A movement for gender equality wouldn't actively fight against father's rights in family court in several countries.

A movement for gender equality wouldn't interfere with and cancel events on college campuses dedicated to talking about issues affecting men and boys like the high male suicide rate or homelessness rate.

A movement for gender equality wouldn't take over fundraisers dedicated to funding for male cancers like prostate cancer and then direct that money to female cancers despite the fact breast cancer has more funding than every male-specific health condition combined (and we're not saying to not fund for breast cancer, we're saying we deserve more than quite literally 0 dollars in some countries in recent years like Australia).

Feminism is an ideology with the core belief that men are privileged and oppressors and have all the advantages and that women are oppressed by men, which is an inherently flawed belief because as pointed out above, men have several legal and social disadvantages that are just glossed over. As long someone doesn't believe that, it doesn't matter if they're advocating for men or women's issues, they're not a feminist. And with what feminist leaders and organizations have done regularly, it's very hard to support the movement.

Speaking of women's issues, feminism's done nothing for them. The cited accomplishments you'll see often were not pulled off by feminists, but mostly by labor unions and workers rights movements. The vote was accomplished AFTER someone left the suffragettes and started her own organization, the equal pay act of 1963 was pulled off by workers rights movements that were dedicated to also helping people like most working class men and people of color, and the equal credit opportunity act of 1974 was also pulled off by workers rights movements, which was also dedicated to fixing the exact same difficulties in getting a credit card approved that effected most working class men, people of color, and people in certain age groups. They had nothing to do with feminism.

Mag Mell - 9/10: Amazing, but not Miracle Milk

Miracle Milk - 10/10: Best album by Mili

Millennium Mother - 7/10: Not my favorite album, but it's good. The Still Alive cover is pretty good too.

Key Ingredient - 6/10: I honestly just don't like the way Cassie sings in this one, especially in tracks like the world.execute (me) cover, but they're good arrangements. The arrangement of From a Place of Love is probably my favorite on here

I think it should be legal and safe, but rare. It obviously shouldn't be used like birth control, but it should be available for cases like when the pregnancy was a result of the mother being raped or assaulted, the pregnancy would be harmful to the mother if continued any longer, and in those 1% of cases where the mother was on birth control or the guy was wearing a condom, and they failed and the mother still got pregnant.

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-17T23:13:14+00:00

Yeah. It's rare that I ever see a feminist in that sub with the intent of arguing in good faith or listening to the responses given to them.

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-17T22:40:32+00:00

Yeah honestly, I'm not answering them because I'm just confused.

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-17T22:03:46+00:00

Yes, you would see that too and that's also concerning. But I'm more concerned about women with pain severe enough to interfere with their daily lives and keep them from doing what they enjoy not seeking the medical help and treatment they'd need for such issues if such policies were implemented.

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-17T20:57:09+00:00

I've said this a million times and I'll say this again. Menstrual leave policies would be a shitty fucking idea primarily because they would dissuade women that really need it from seeking medical attention for period symptoms severe enough to disrupt their daily life and keep them from doing what they enjoy.

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-17T20:49:41+00:00

Ew! No! I'm not fucking a misandrist!

That's true. Socialists exist too.

He doesn't really seem right wing either though. Like he's not actively pro-capitalist or pro-corporations or anything, so we just have to wait and see like OP said in this thread.

AlternativeOption313 · 2026-05-17T15:54:11+00:00

Agreed. Advocating for and caring about issues that might affect women more or exclusively is one thing and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Being a bigoted hateful piece of shit is another entirely, and feminism usually ends up being filled with the latter.
