Feminism is currently helping us reach gender equality in 1st world countries

Thank you for responding. Let's begin "Yes you made some good points" - Well thank you :) "https://answers.yahoo.com...... there is more men in prison then women but that does not mean that m=women want to view men as the higher race" - Well the evidence you brought up just says that men make up the vast majority of prison captives. 6.8% women and 93.2% men. Seems a little off doesn't it? Anyways the point you brought up was "but that does not mean that m=women want to view men as the higher race" That's a little confusing, but what I think you are trying to say is that this doesn't mean women see themselves as superiors to men. Well first of all I would like to point out a common but fundamental misunderstanding you have. I said before the feminist movement as a whole views men as inferiors. FeminismX00;women. I am not accusing women of anything, I have no problem with women, in fact I love them (literally), however I do have a problem with feminism. It seems the point you are trying to make is that despite these ridiculous female favored statistics, you are rejecting that females are favored in the court of law. It baffles me how anyone can believe this when the stat that 93.2% of prison inmates are men is right in front of them. I can speak from my and others personal experience, men and women can be equally violent, fraudulent and criminal. With that being the case how can we reasonably have 93.2% of prison inmates being men. Surely people should be able to see that there HAS to be bias for that start to be true. If you still don't believe me let me drop some statistics. 1. Men receive 63% longer sentences than women for simply being men- http://www.law.umich.edu... 2. Men are 165% more likely to be convicted than men when they do the exact same crime- http://permutationofninjas.org... . If you take these statistics into account you absolutely can't deny that men are disadvantaged in the court of law. "Women should have equal rights and opportunities" I completely agree I am egalitarian and believe in equality for all humans. " but don't, http://www.forbes.com...... this website shoes the ratio of men to women in college and shows women are way more advanced in the field of education but still men are given more chances." Now this I am going to disagree with. If you click on the link what the statistic shows is that the ratio of men to women in college is quickly become a ratio with much more women than men. That's right. Women are actually getting more college level education than men. "shows women are way more advanced in the field of education but still men are given more chances" This, well. This just isn't true or backed up by anything. Nothing in the article says or supports this. You say men are given more opportunities without really backing it up with anything. In fact I would argue that the exact opposite is the case. For example take this into account. If you read this article females are preferred in the education system: http://www.hookingupsmart.com... . If you look read this article it talks about the barriers men face in university that women are immune to: http://www.the-american-interest.com... . "in today's age women have the financial and physical abilities to survive" they have every single ability to support themselves."but have not been given enough opportunity's" No. They have been given every single opportunity society has to offer, they just don't take them. In fact I am going to argue they have many more opportunities than men, they just don't take them. If you watch this video - http://www.avoiceformen.com... you will see that women are actually PREFERRED in stem jobs over men for no reason other than being men. As I stated before they have every single opportunity to take high paying jobs to support themselves. "Women in society today are seen as equal." Except by many feminists who see women as superior. "Women have the ability to be in the top 6 but have not been given that path to take." The first part is right. They completely have the ability to make it to the top of society. The second part is wrong. They are given the path to take, and they are given every opportunity to take that path. They just don't. Overall you have dropped my many points of how feminism has harmed society and how the movement has been detrimental to gender equality. A lot of what you have failed to do is prove that feminism itself is helping. All you have done is state that women are disadvantaged in some places, yet oddly you selected examples of places where they are given the upper hand. Moving on. Feminists defend their movement when someone brings up the issues men face is by saying either 1. That feminism helps men's issues by destroying stereotypes. 2. That men's issues are completely separate from female issues. One analogy I heard was "that's like saying someone who cured breast cancer hates the effort to cure lung cancer". Well the reason why both of these defenses are simply wrong is because feminism doesn't just help solve men's issues or do nothing about them. Instead it makes the problem worse and the movement as a whole tries to stop anything from being done about male issues. For example, consider this article/video: http://www.avoiceformen.com...... In this video there is a woman who talks about her efforts to bring awareness to men's issues is shut down and censored by Feminists. Clearly Feminism, as a whole, is not helping us solve men's issues. As I stated before it is making the problem worse. Now a lot of people (probably feminists) will refute this and say "Well not all feminists are like that"or "They aren't true feminists". The thing is I am asking the question of whether the movement as a whole is helping society, not if all feminists are bad. Also the thing about saying they are not true feminists is that people like them represent the face of feminism. They are usually the ones who control the policy in place, they control the movements and they control what the movement actually changes. A perfect example of how feminist policy has hurt society and driven us further from equality can be found here: http://www.avoiceformen.com...... . This article by Karen Straughan talks about how once domestic violence (Let's us DV for short) started getting public attention there were two main approaches to solve the problem. One of them saw it as gender neutral. This was lead by a woman named Erin Pizzey. She founded the first battered women's shelter. What she found while running her shelter was 60% of the women were as violent or even more violent than the men they were fleeing. And then there's the second approach, the feminist one. This model says that men are always the violent ones and are beating their partners to oppress them and to make their partners fear them. This model is based on what is called "patriarchy theory". This model became entrenched and seen as the most common and correct model by law enforcement, social workers and judges. This model is adopted by many of the 1st world, western countries including the US, Canada and the UK. In other words this model is the status quo. Despite being seen as the model that fits almost every case of domestic violence, in reality, it makes up the smallest minority of cases. The feminist model overtook the more benevolent model ran by Erin Pizzey, despite Pizzey's model being far more accurate and helpful. The feminist model has resulted in male victims of DV being seen as a joke and offered little to no help. Feminism did not help the issue. Feminism made the problem worse. Feminism is not helping 1st world countries reach gender equality, hence the resolution. As Karen Straughan put it, "If society was feminists, and blacks were men, they would scream ever louder that blacks are the primary offenders and that other races almost never commit such crimes, that the crime itself stems from "toxic, hegemonic blackness", they would ignore the evidence, suppress the evidence, intimidate or shun researchers who produce the evidence, engage in threats of violence against researchers who publish the evidence, and continue their attempts to entrench their view of blackness being integral to said crime into legislation and policy." To put what she said in other words: The way feminists view men and women in DV is dangerously similar to how racist whites view blacks in crime in a way that justifies systematic oppression. The women Erin Pizzey I recently talked about was terrorized by Feminists for questioning their model and saying it was wrong. She was protested and threatened by Feminists. She had to have a police escort where ever she went because of Feminists. She was instructed to have her mail re-directed to the bomb unit to ensure her house would not be blown to smithereens. The result of this terror peaked when her family dog was shot. As a result she fled the country. All of that just for saying women can be just as violent as men and that Feminists are wrong. Just for saying men can be victims too she was terrorized to the point of her fleeing the country. Countless Feminists view men as monsters and women as the princesses that need to be rescued from their violent captors. They reject the evidence and suppress those who speak out against them. As a result of Feminist policy men have been denied the rights as people, just because they are men. So allow me to conclude, Feminism is not helping us reach gender equality in 1st world countries because feminism itself does not treat the genders equally. Feminism treats women as the superior while Feminism treats men as sub-human monsters. Does that sound like equality to you?
