| pepharytheworm said: Let me break it down simply for you. Satistics do not speak for individuals. Also equality doesn't mean 50/50. Here is an example: Three people of varying heights are at a baseball game. The fence is high enough that the two shortest individuals can't see over it. In a equal share 50/50 world you would provide a step for everyone that comes to the game. Now the tallest individual is way higher then he needs to be, the second to shortest can now see but the shortest individual still can't. That's not equality, true equality would be providing everyone a chance on equal ground. Here is true equality: The tallest individual doesn't get a step because he can see without it, the medium individual gets one step to see and the third gets two steps so he can be tall enough to see. Now everyone can see and is at equal standings. It doesn't matter if most men are this and most women are that. People do not conform perfectly. As individuals we have differing skills and backgrounds. People should be judged individually. You have no right to tell me I am "more sexually driven, more physically powerful and more violent" and judge me to those standards just because "generally men are". That mind-set is why men have a disadvantge in things like custody, rape and abuse situations. And speaks to what I said earlier, men hurt other men's rights, not feminism. I must comment on your later posts. You really lack info about feminism. Not all feminist think the same and there are splits within. Most of your opinions comes from the most narrowed minded people of feminism who don't include PoC, trans, and homosexuals. Look up Inclusive Feminism and also Sex-positive Feminism which doesn't shame sexworkers, kinks and fetishism. |
if you are accessing individuals as a group then you have no choice but to generalise them
people are not allowed to drive before age 16 because it is accepted by society that individuals are not mature enough to do so before age 16
that is a generalisation that is wrong at times i personally knew guys who drove at age 14 regularly and were responsible
and most laws are based like that because people can only be accessed as a group and not as individuals with regards to laws
this is why i brought up the laws that are put in place to protect women because of the generalisation that men are more capable and prone to violence
"You have no right to tell me I am "more sexually driven, more physically powerful and more violent" "
i didn't i was speaking of men as a group
"and judge me to those standards just because "generally men are"."
well my friend you have no choice but to leave society because all of the laws society has are based on generalisations
sounds like you subscribe to libertarian philosophy
"Not all feminist think the same and there are splits within. Most of your opinions comes from the most narrowed minded people of feminism"
well yes i know that there are various factions in feminism but no i'm pretty sure that i'm talking about the majority or at least the most active group of feminists since they are the ones pushing the laws i spoke of
btw do not misunderstand i don't think generalisations are always fair or justified but i do understand the need for them in many cases, however, i think they are going too far with the ones that apply to men
its kind of strange to see a feminist who doesn't believe in generalisations though
