| CladInShadows said: First example? You gotta do better than that. This one is ridiculous. This is more reminiscent of one of those silly backward laws that you only read about. And it was one night. And it indicated that the "male only" night was happening the following week. And a couples night following. So, in effect, it was actual equality. This law was not put into effect by feminists. It was put into effect by a male mayor who wanted to give it a try. More than 13 years ago. I'm guesing there haven't been many (if any) repeats. Second example. Yeah, it's put into effect for the safety of women. You know, the gender that gets raped hundreds of times more than men. I know this law can be abused by a man-hating woman. But a lot of laws have loopholes and specific wordings that can cause effects not originally intended by the spirit of the law. Third example. Yeah, the wording is bad. It does mostly protect women from getting raped. Though I'm not sure a woman could actually get away with raping a man as long as the evidence supports it. You're also forgetting that we have anuses. Legally we can get raped, at least in that aspect. Look, I'm not saying that every law is 100% rock solid in its equality. But you're cherry picking little articles and bits and pieces of these laws and indicating that they COULD be used for bad. But like I said before, I'm not worried that my rights as a human being are being compromised because I have a penis over a vagina. Many of the laws are there to protect women. You know why? Because biologically, men are stronger than women. Men can rape women while they're unconscious. Something that is extremely difficult to do if the roles were reversed. Physically, the odds are heavily stacked against women. Historically, women have been dominated. This is fact. The laws reflect that, and is in no way indicitave of feminism but where society is right now. The best example provided to me was from HoloDust. But again, this is largely due to society's views on men and women's roles in raising a family than it is from some feminist agenda. At least, that's how I see it. Also, Bayonetta is an absolutely ridiculous game in terms of its blatent sexuality. So much so that I can't 100% take it seriously. Sarkeesian absolutely has a point. It just happens to be a REALLY good game. Go figure. Anyways, I don't care how much of a feminazi she is. This petition is still stupid. |
So... uh having a night designated specifically for women where only they are allowed out on the streeets is equal treatement... well what can i say lol i actually can't think of a retort lol
"You know, the gender that gets raped hundreds of times more than men."
well i wonder about that myself
isn't it interesting that we are told that rape is the most gruesome terrifying thing anyone can experience yet when the conversation turns to the gang raping of men in prison it then becomes a joke?
i have no statistics to back this one but i'd hazard a guess that if the men who are raped in prison were totalled it would outnumber the number for women raped on the streets
what have feminist who want equality and want rape squashed done for the men in prison... absolutely nothing
but anyway with regards to the law have you actually gone and analysed what they are trying to do? well i guess perhaps it doesn't matter to you either way given your earlier response
"It does mostly protect women from getting raped."
well no it actually protects men too but ultimately the aggressor is always classed as a man since men do the penetrating
again the point is to enforce the stereotype that men are the sexually deviant violent sex while women are less capable of evil
"Many of the laws are there to protect women. You know why? Because biologically, men are stronger than women. "
ah ok so therefore because men are more capable of certain forms of evil they must have more restrictions placed upon them because of the actions of a relatively small amount of men
lol do you not see that you are backpeddling now? i thought you said feminism was about equality and not about putting more restrictions on men via laws?
let me ask you something how does evil manifest itself in women since they are less capable of violence? have you ever thought about that? ah forget it its irrelevant
" Historically, women have been dominated. This is fact. "
yes women were and men died for them in the millions let us not pretend that women did not benefit from the old arrangement in anyway
women were denied many basic rights by men who if the time called for it were expected to die for women
and i'm not saying that this justifies it in anyway i'm simply making the point that the old arrangement oppressed men also
in those days in times of adversity you can be sure i would have rather been a woman than a man
" But you're cherry picking little articles and bits and pieces of these laws and indicating that they COULD be used for bad."
i kind of thought that was the point... you asked me to provide examples and i did
"Also, Bayonetta is an absolutely ridiculous game in terms of its blatent sexuality."
yes because it is bad for women to be overtly sexual correct? isn't that slut shaming? or is it victim blaming? honestly i'm losing track of all of these terms lol
one thing i must say though is that for someone who isn't here to defend feminism you really do seem to be bending over backwards to do so
