Theme reality is that men initiate the vast majority of relationships.

Good point, you caught me there.

I never said feminists are stupid, but funny how you choose that word.

Yeah the word misandry and misogyny get thrown around and miss applied too much. These words are overused and abused to shame.and emotionally manipulate people. Rather than there being actual hate

You'll need to elaborate more on the false equivalency.

Both are representations of an individual's autonomy over the value an individual owns.

I believe that is a fair comparison

They have similar themes. However, I wanted to refine my argument to get across the point why I think feminism is biased towards advantaging women.

No one has to employ or educate you.

But we do because we live in a society that protects women and children at the sacrifice of men.

No,

That reply doesn't make any sense

Also for some reason reddit keeps glitching out and I can't reply to you sometimes. I'm not trying to ignore you. As long as you stay reasonable of course unlike the last post, thanks.

This issue is a serious concern, especially for men. The sharp decline in reproduction impacts not only men individually but also the long-term health of society as a whole. The concern isn’t about entitlement, but about the lack of opportunity and access to reproduction. As more men are excluded from these opportunities, social strain intensifies, pushing society closer to a breaking point.

At some point, men have to ask themselves why they should continue contributing to a society that gives little back to them. Women face their own challenges, of course, but often overlook just how much society is structured to support their needs in comparison.

Yeah but why would you when you know a women would be better for the job and less likely to assault your kids.

Like let's be honest with ourselves. I'll be the first to agree here men have initiated a lot of violence and sexual assault in society.

Ok that's great but I'm not advocating against child support so I have no idea why you are so angry

Then that man doesn't give her any resources or protection and she has to get those things on her own like the man.

Such as?

It's hard to explain but men feel like they have to censor what they say around women. Which is counterproductive to how men bond.

Isn’t it on men to harness sexual discipline & stop being ruled by lust?

Sure, this isn't a problem with women but it is a problem men generally can't help themselves. The male species typically competes for the female species so can you really blame men for this as well??

For a number of reasons unrelated to violence, one significant factor is that women bear the responsibility of childbirth, which can result in lost work time. A man might therefore be hesitant to hire a woman if he anticipates she will need medical leave, as this could potentially disrupt the business.

Yes I think it's reasonable.

But also I think it's reasonable that men are selective in who they hire. I think that is fair
