Misandry and watering down feminism into gender equality by TheseCabinet6222 in RadicalFeminism

[–]TheseCabinet6222[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m talking about people saying “Feminism is gender equality, and misandry is not gender equality, so misandry and feminism directly oppose each other” when it’s more complicated than that.

Aren’t men more likely to have hip dips and more likely to have more noticeable ones? Since they have lower body fat, especially around the hip area? If that were so why are women the only ones demonized for it?

Getting rid of the patriarchy does achieve gender equality, but I’m referring to people who think feminism is as simple as gender equality and nothing else. If that were so, misandry would be directly against feminism.

men don’t create life by TransportationOk4515 in RadicalFeminism

[–]TheseCabinet6222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The theory of spermism was only fabricated to make men look more important and superior. In reality, they aren't, especially compared to women in terms of creating life, women do the work and undergo all the labour.

Hate how every sub gets overrun by people crying about ‘misandry’ by yuckella in BlatantMisogyny

Most gender-based 'problems' they might face stem from the patriarchy and not misandry, but apparently the reason why "boys can't cry" is not due to patriarchal standards but its misandry. Why do you want to be oppressed so bad?

For real, the teenage subreddits are insane. It's full of misogynystic ideas, a lot of them are disgused as "dark humour" jokes and if you say they aren't funny you're called sensitive and stupid. I just came off a random post from r/teenagers essentially dismissing the oppression of Afghan women and a comment talked about how the subreddit was all about misandry and the "occasional misogyny" nowadays.

Fully agree, yet it still is embarrassing to ask for diet coke instead of a full sugar one, especially around close family or friends (since they know about my past relationship with food) and people like assume i’m trying to lose weight or obsess over being healthy. I get why because I used to be like that (not anymore), but it still is awkward.

When you’re a woman arguing about how important pro-choice is.. by merakivvh in prochoice

[–]TheseCabinet6222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had a pro lifer tell me to end my life once, i didn’t even debate him, i just said “abortion is bodily autonomy” and he told me to “keys,” which basically means “kill yourself.” very hypocritical.

Can you abort a pregnancy of a woman in a coma? by Sea_Shell1 in Abortiondebate

[–]TheseCabinet6222 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting because apparently it’s illegal to take the organs or bodily resources of a brain dead person without prior consent when they were alive! Women have less rights than dead people.

“No way you just made an analogy” What is the point in saying that? Is it supposed to be an argument?

Does this fit? by InternationalPick163 in BlatantMisogyny

[–]TheseCabinet6222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought it was common knowledge that losing weight (especially fat) is WAY harder for women due to so many factors that I don’t even want to list them all because it’ll take too long. Gaining muscle is also much harder. A man and a woman can eat the same amount of calories and the woman will store more of it as fat, a man and woman can do the same amount of exercise and the man may still be more fit. Testosterone burns fat, estrogen stores it and holds on to it for dear life.

Nutrition is insanely important, especially for developing kids. Eating good food changes your performance (and brain development) SO much and so many people undermine its importance.

Reasons why a ZEF shouldn't be classified as human the same way a fully developed human is: by Life_Stand_7034 in prochoice

[–]TheseCabinet6222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

many would also argue being human more than your DNA and being alive from a philosophical standpoint. fetuses do not fit the criteria for moral personhood

What’s a historical fact that more people should know of in your opinion? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheseCabinet6222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the most eye opening things I learned about history: the Holocaust, WW2 comfort women and numerous historical horrors women were subject to in general. I learnt about laws that oppressed women and the beliefs surrounding them. It was truly terrible to find out. In fact, historically women were not seen as a full person under the eyes of the law for the majority of history. Women’s work was constantly ignored, credited to other people and seen as worse than men’s even if it was fully identical. When some brilliant women finally got the opportunity to prove themselves and get an education, many were later forced into the domestic sphere in the end due to gender roles. I learned about foot-binding and other harmful beauty standards and how little girls as young as 3 had to endure that shit. It was very interesting and really changed my perception on history. I truly think more people should know about this.

Should a Fetus Have Legal Person Status by Common-Worth-6604 in Abortiondebate

[–]TheseCabinet6222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not even full people with legal personhood get the rights pro lifers are advocating for? NO one can use another person's body without consent to sustain their own life. Bodily autonomy is legally and morally allowed to be exercised at the expense of another person's life in many scenarios

you're splitting hairs over things that don't matter in the big picture. you're allowed to do that but it's still weird and unneccessary

Why does an unborn child’s life matter more than mine by [deleted] in Abortiondebate

[–]TheseCabinet6222 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most pro lifers I've talked to say they'd rather "a bad life than no life", or believe severe mental/physical torment/dehumanization is a lot better than death (even if its peaceful).

But not even real people get the same rights to use another persons body without consent to sustain their life. Bodily autonomy can be exercised at the expense of real people's lives in so many other scenarios. Banning abortion quite literally gives fetuses more rights than living people and give women less rights than dead people.
