Feminism is no longer beneficial to our modern society

REBUTTALS:Pro: "I understand that your data is from 2010 and that still makes it five years behind."1: My data might be 5 years behind, but it's infinitely more recent than Pro's source -- none.2: Pro has failed to show why 5 years is significant; reject this attack on my source.3: 5 years is in fact insignificant, given that the wage gap has not shifted much in the past decade.Pro: "You could get data from this year, and the information could be easily manipulated as most companies don't reveal their employee pay rates."1: I *could*. I don't need to, because Pro hasn't provided a better alternate source.Pro: "America has an unpaid 12 week maternity leave according to Wikipedia which isn't a lot compared to other countries but is still something not offered to their male co workers."1: Yeah, I don't think an unpaid 12 weeks of "we can't fire you yet" counts as maternal leave.2: This also means that Pro's argument that women get compensated via having a maternal leave is effectively null -- they don't get paid for it, meaning it doesn't factor into their pay in a significant way.Pro: "Again, the data can not be confirmed and therefore shouldn't be your main argument or even an argument."1: Pro states that the "data can not be confirmed" yet consistently fails to invalidate the data that I have presented, which univocally shows a wage gap between women and men. Pro has failed to provide *any* counterstudies. You, judge, *must* accept that a wage gap exists and hurts women in the workforce.Pro: "Yes, I was only rebutting an argument and even if feminist groups redefined rape, it still doesn't prove my point wrong. Boys are just as vulnerable as girls."1: Pro first argued that feminist groups argue all men are rapists and are insensitive to male rape. I showed that major feminist groups advocate for expanding coverage for *all* genders and types of rape. Pro's viewpoint is, in fact, the *opposite* of the truth.2: Sexual violence affects both males and females. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that 18.3% (1 in 5) of females have been unconsensually penetrated or recieved an unconsensual penetration attempt, compared to 1.4% (1 in 71) of males [10]; furthermore, 4.8% (1 in 21) of males reported that they were made to penetrate someone else during their lifetime [10]; furthermore, an estimated 13% in of females and 6% of males have experienced sexual coercion in their lifetime and 27.2% of females and 11.7% of males have experienced unwanted sexual contact [10]. 16.2% (1 in 6) of females and 5.2% (1 in 19) of males have experienced stalking victimization in their lifetime [10]. 35.6% (1 in 3) of females and 28.5% (1 in 4) males have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Sexual violence is a massive issue and should not be downplayed. However, sexual violence is statistically more significant for females than for males, especially for more violent and invasive forms of sexual violence.Pro: "I know, a lot of people oppose feminism but usually they are simply considered sexist or trolling."1: That's because a lot of the people who oppose feminism *are* sexist or trolling. Of the others, almost all are able to voice their views without opposition.Pro: "The republican party isn't that anti feminist. AND they lost quite a few elections"1: The party that thinks "Kinder, Kuche, Kirche" is a good domestic role for women is antifeminist in my books.Pro: "[M]ost feminists are women and most women are feminists."1: And? Most black civil rights advocates were black. Does this invalidate civil rights?Pro: "And yes, they are quite close minded, at least the ones I have see. It seems like they would not consider any other ideology and dismiss any attempt proving them wrong as trolling. And what is MRA? "1: Again, some evidence (even analytics) is necessary to support this claim.2: MRAs are "men's rights activists", the modern antifeminism [11].REASONS FOR DECISIONConduct: Neither.Grammar: Neither.Arguments: Clear Con vote. Pro had the burden to prove Feminism is not beneficial to modern society. They have failed this burden. Pro has no standing arguments as to why feminism is hurtful. Feminism has not been shown to censor opposing opinions. Feminists do not promote false ideas about rape. Feminists aren't necessarily closeminded. In opposition, Con has cited studies to show that a wage gap exists and that Pro's responses do not affect this fact, which means that feminism is still relevant in its efforts to seek equality. Con also showed that feminists opposed rape and male rape, showing positive impact on today's society. In summary, Con had no burden, but fulfilled it; Pro had a burden, but failed it.Sources: Clear Con vote. Con used 11 sources; Pro used 0. Con cited government studies; Pro didn't.Vote Con!REFERENCES[10] cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf[11] rationalwiki.org/wiki/MRA
