Modern Feminism (Third-Wave Feminism) Destroys Men and Their Families

"There is a big misconception about the issues women face versus what men face. Are women in general more likely to face rape, sexism and sexual harrassment in their lifetime than men? I would say absolutely not."Though I do not deny that men also face a great deal of sexual harassment that should not be taken as a joke, multiple sources including http://hrlibrary.umn.edu... claim that more women have faced sexual harassment. In a study with around 270 respondents, more than 50% of them had received sexual harassment in their workplace. Of the respondents, 79% of the victims were women, and 21% were men (S1)."If they truly cared about women and their plight they would not focus on petty things such as "manspreading" and "manslpaining." How about fighting against the abuse of women in the middle east?"As I have explained, a large part of the feminist movement has set its sights on protecting and extending the rights of women in the Middle East. In fact, there are some sects of feminist groups that fight specifically for the rights of Middle Eastern women such as Musawah. Musawah is a movement led by Islamic women (with over 250 members) that is advocating women's rights from within Islam (S2)."Here is the real reason women are making less money than men. Women do not make less money than men for doing the same job. They make exactly the same as men doing the same job. Women are not working the same jobs as men; that's the real issue. Construction jobs, coal mining, deep sea fishing, etc, etc ... these are the jobs that men are doing that women are not."Your primary claim towards refuting why "the wage gap doesn't exist" is that women are either working in different jobs than men, and going further to say that the wage gap is nonexistent. Furthermore, you lack any evidence that proves this, and thus readers and myself are supposed to go by only your word.Some people may argue that men are more adept and stronger than women, and thus they deserve more money for the occupation they're in that require physical abilities such as construction. However, the wage gap is not only applicable to these types of jobs, but also in things that rely primarily on intelligence and diction such as lawyers and desk jobs. As I have provided in my previous argument, the wage gap is very real, and many trustworthy sources can confirm such. They include but are not limited to Forbes (S3), the Huffington Post (S4), and the Washington Post (S5).

Modern Feminism (Third-Wave Feminism) Destroys Men and Their Families

I am eager to debate against my opponent, seeing as he, admittedly, is a well-dictioned, mature debater. I anticipate debating with you.My arguments will consist mainly of how Modern Feminism has benefitted society through acts such as donations, peaceful protests that advocated women's rights for areas such as the Middle East, etc. I will be sure to back my claims with valid sources.I ask that my opponent does not use pictures of feminists with short hair, candy red hair dye, screaming at a crowd calling for the extermination of all men to back up his claims...Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor...
Modern Feminism (Third-Wave Feminism) Destroys Men and Their Families

I (pro) will be arguing that modern feminism destroys men and their families and doing so creates negative family relationships and an unnecessary strain on our economy. Con will argue against this idea. If con accepts the debate, he/she must not forfeit or will automatically lose the debate. The definition of modern (or 3rd wave) feminism taken from Wikipedia . .. . https://en.wikipedia.org...Third-wave feminism refers to several diverse strains of feminist activity and study, whose exact boundaries in the history of feminism are a subject of debate, but are generally marked as beginning in the early 1990s and continuing to the present. It is referred to as an "individual movement", because part of the purpose is to redefine what it is to be a feminist. Pro and con will use this definition of modern feminism and third-wave feminism for their arguments. Rules for this debate are as follows .
smoking should be illegal

If you go back to the early 30's in America the government banned alcohol. Theï¿½s did not result in everyone being sober and stop drinking because people smuggled the alcohol.ï¿½this was what created the mafia in the U.S. Al Capone was one who because very famous for his smuggling of alcohol. The exact same could happen with cigarettes. People can choose the ways to spend their life. If they want to smoke they can smoke and ruin their life. The criminals get richer by smuggling stuff and they will get very rich by smuggling and selling cigarettes. This could result in a complete increase of criminal gangs who can rape, murder and rob and always get out of the way because they bribe the police and judges. Or threaten them.
Yummy debtors for lunch.

LOL! Sure, why not! I rather see a Professor make who went through all the pain, sweat and tears of getting a PhD to make that kind of money, then see Executives make millions or billions off the college (who probably doesn't have more than a bachelors themselves). I believe in free markets, but can't stand crony capitalism. These fools don't deserve that kind of money, that's for sure. Zero skills, or value brought to the table (they just lobbied the right politicians is all). Cheers! http://www.bloomberg.com...
Yummy debtors for lunch.

The professor is only eating off the salary paid to him by the college. The U.S. Department of Education is actually eating off your Indebtedness. The next question you need to ask is "do I really owe a debt"? Is there even a debt to begin with? The college loan in brought into existence by your signature on a promissory note, which springs the money into fruition, which pays the school right away. Then the U.S. department of Education then demands that you pay them, with interest from money that they never in fact gave you to begin with. What's your next step? Challenge the validity of the debt. See if there is actually a bilateral contractual obligation that requires you to pay the debt. See, I laugh at all these Bernie Sanders supporters that demand that we have free college. If they understood how our entire phony fiat currency system works, then they might learn that college is already free in a sense. Not to mention all the grant money, pell grant and everything else that the government already subsidizes. We don't need Bernie's socialist plans to further enslave us all. I would put references, but that was all just off the top of my head. If I get an intelligent response to this, then I might be forced to do a tiny bit of research.
Terrorism is an opinion.

=) I will go point by point on your arguments. "But then war is the exact sameas terrorism." >>Yes, they are both words, they are both nouns. They are not an opinion, they are a thing. How do you opinion the word war? "This the negates the need for the word as it has a clear opinion behind it when people use it." >>First off both the words, War and Terrorism, contain no opinion behind them. When someone walks up to me and says, "War." or "Terrorism" I since no hidden opinion behind such words. Should someone walk up and say, "The war in Afghanistan", then I can formulate my own opinion if I desire. I cannot however voice any opinion through the single word, "Terrorism". I can perhaps form an opinion on the idea of terrorism, but terrorism itself is not my opinion or an opinion at all. Terrorism = Noun.
Terrorism is an opinion.

Ummm.... The word is terrorism. The ism on the end signifies that it is a noun. Terrorism. Patriotism. Capitalism. Communism. Marxism. I pulled my definition from Dictionary.com (common knowledge) but just to humor me I also just went and got my Kingfisher dictionary which lists Terrorism once again as a noun. On your last point... "I am refering to the general useage of the word when it is often attributed with words such as murder." >>Terrorism can be done through murder but it can also be done through other means. The only real mandate of terrorism is that it intimidates someone into doing something you want. Terrorism breads terror, thus the name. Therefor terrorism can be anything that creates terror.
Terrorism is an opinion.

Well I have no idea what-so-ever why you decided to challenge me of all people to a debate. Especially on an issue such as this. But hey I'll go for it anyways. Your case, and point is that terrorism is a point of view. I would like to disagree with you. Terrorism is a noun and can easily be defined but is never a point of view. Nouns are not points of view, examples: Cat Bed T.V Politician Milk War Death Mom Christmas Terrorism As you can see none of those are an opinion or point of view. You can take points of view or opinions on issues regarding them. For examples: Cats are nice. Beds are warm. T.Vs are real. Politicians are corrupt. Milk is magnificent. War is good. Death is bad. Moms are generally cool people. Christmas is my favorite holiday. People who employ terrorism are terrorists but can be considered freedom fighters by some. These can all be seen to be opinions on matters. Each sentence involves the noun, and also a verb + adjective. This creates an opinion. Terrorism in itself is not an opinion. It is simply defined: 1. The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes. Anyone who uses such means is employing terrorism. This may make them a terrorist. Which is defined as: 2. a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism. A terrorist however is not an opinion. One must add an adjective and verb to employ the word terrorist into an opinion. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" This is an opinion. However if we look at this sentence it says "one man's terrorist" to be a terrorist that man must advocate terrorism in some way. Which means even if the person is another mans freedom fighter he is still advocating terrorism to someone. Thus he is still employing the noun terrorism to fight for freedom. Thus terrorism is still.... not an opinion.
I am more random than you

I rang the south train on the Penelope ice cream footage down north. he flew the penguin on the perpetual ruler of 99.362 index fingers. the jacket pound down the ground, fidgeting in town. Let it be heard that the flippers come pre-packaged on the mew two, stitched in with the feline. this, however, bears no resemblance to the element arsenic, and more so to the beast on the table named Neodymium. To summarize, the chicken on the 325 flight during the marshmallow period of the start of the sentence is in no way a rock. Thank the micro ant of the lava.

Music should be a part of school education.

Not a problem! You make valid points about the cognitive benefits of the music program but price tags are a big issue in education today. With such a limited school budget, even taking up another classroom would have a unfavorable price tag. This article- addressing a proposal for tax hikes to cover a substantial school defecit- was written by Avi Wolfman-Arent of the WHYY and published today (3/1/2018). (1) In the article the journalist writes "The mayor"s plan, released Thursday, would send a projected $980 million to the School District of Philadelphia over the next five years. That money would ward off any potential cuts and give the district long-term financial stability it hasn"t enjoyed in years." The key here is that last line: "long-term financial stability it hasn't enjoyed in years." Some of these schools are suffering, even letting go of staff members to cover for their losses. If we were to even consider implementing a music program in these schools, we would need to act very cautiously around the budget. Most likely, there's simply no room for it in the budget. (1) https://whyy.org... However, if my opponent believes that it is a possibility, I would challenge them to come up with a proposal for a music program that would be A) frugal, B) not require a new teacher ( supposing there would be no budget to pay the salary of a well-educated and trained music teacher), C) meet the requirements of the state and national education laws and expectations, D) have an equal or similar effect to that of another music program. Thanks everyone and good luck, friend. Have a good few days until we meet in Round 3! (Or sooner, of course.)
Music should be a part of school education.

I will happily accept this challenge. For the first round of this debate, I hope to clearly address the expense of the music programs in the year 2012 as my beginning counterpoint. Music programs are too expensive and may not be affordable: - The expense of music has been reported to be $187 annually as of 2012- according to the NAMM. This totals to $2,431. The reported costs of tuition, according to the NCES, has been a total of $11,093 for grades K-12 as of 2012-2013. This comes out to an annual cost of nearly $853.30. - The average salary as of 2012 according to the US Social Security Administration is $44,321.67. Using the "Cost of Living Estimator" on Numbeo and assuming that this is accurate to 2012, the cost of living in Des Moines Iowa, for example, is $3,578.58 per month, totaling to $42,942.96 which is approximately at 96% of the average salary of 2012.* The problem here is that this total, while accounting for 4 people, does not clearly cover children- in other words, schooling may be adding on to that total- extending the cost of living by $2080.60 ( assuming that two of the four in the 'family' are children). This brings the total cost of living to $45,023.50, approximately .2% over salary, or $701.83 over salary. *One thing to note is that when I used the "cost of Living Estimator" I was assuming that; the 'family' of four does not smoke, drink, rides cars 'a lot', NEVER goes out to eat, takes two vacations, buys clothing and shoes 'a lot', never has rent, and has sports memberships. The reason I choose these options was to get a 'random' and possible estimate of a family of four. Sources: NAMM, music program cost of $187- https://www.namm.org... NCES, total K-12 cost of $11,093- https://nces.ed.gov... US Social Security Administration, salary of $44,321.67- https://www.ssa.gov... my "Cost of Living Estimator"- https://www.numbeo.com... This will be my first debate so I appreciate you having it with me. Looking forward to hearing from you and I appreciate your patience with me!
Music should be a part of school education.

I will take pro. A child learning about music must tap into multiple skill sets, often all at once. For instance, people use their ears and eyes, as well as other small and large muscles, so the skill sets get stronger. According to the Children's Music Workshop, the effect of music education on development can be seen in the brain. Recent studies have clearly indicated that musical training physically develops the part of the left side of the brain known to be involved with processing language. Similarly, linking familiar songs to new information can also help imprint information on young minds. Fifty Nifty United States is a good example. Music can also introduce new cultures, as well as extending their vocabulary in general. Cognitive benefits include learning how to count and recognizing patterns.
