Its illegal for businesses and whatnot. To my knowledge their are no laws on personal discrimination as long as you keep your actions below hate crime. If you honestly claim that you treat women exactly the same way you treat men, I can only assume you are lying. When I'm around my guy friends, I'm more likely to make innapropriate jokes or talk about sports or play sports. When I'm around my girl friends, I probably wouldn't be doing most of those things. Is that discrimination? Well yeah...does that make it wrong? I don't think so.
Also, I would like to point out, that I, as a straight male, only really hit on women. Should I start hitting on men to avoid that horrible, horrible discrimination?
| contestgamer said: Extreme feminism is ridiculous, most women just want equality. We don't want to be treated like sexual objects, like sidekicks to men. You don't need the state to do that, it can be done by educating men. A lot of things about how men interact with women and other men has changed for the better without the need of state action - simply social pressure and education has brought about those changes. Same idea is behind most civil rights movements. |
The problem is when feminists start attacking things like someone saying "hello" to them. That is just ridiculous. We don't need social pressure to make us more impersonal... We don't need to protect women to this extent (and who exactly is here to protect the men from people who say "hello" to them on the street? Discrimination I say!)
I think most people are fine with equality (to a point), but some of these complaints are just ridiculous, and sensationalistly labeling it as "harassment" doesn't help your argument, it just makes people think you are being ridiculous.
