Gender EQUALITY not SUPERIORITY

* follows along with you*

I feel like you know what you are talking about no matter what you are talking about.

I like to keep a base level of knowledge in all subjects, makes me seem much more intelligent than I really am.

Not to argue, but if you said men love women because women are good for snuggling with, eating bacon with, and arguing over directions with, then there would be a serious shitstorm. That's the kind of hypocrisy that rubs people the wrong way.

I don't really see how that would cause a shitstorm. It's not like if you said all women are good for is sex.

That's only because that goes without saying. ;)

I don't see how either. The shitstorms are generally caused by things that say "Men/Women are good for [doing something for me]," which makes it sound like they're only good for performing some kind of service. Doing stuff WITH somebody indicates a partnership. If my boyfriend told people I was good for snuggling with and eating bacon with, that probably means he's not using me strictly for sex and he loves me. Because, come on. Willingly sharing your bacon is love.

Not entirely true. The "manspreading" thing is sort of stupid in that it singles out men when people in general are assholes about public space and many of both genders need to be smacked, yes. However, there are things left for first world women to fight for. Unequal pay is still a thing. Lack of paid maternal AND paternal leave in the US is still a thing. Active harrassment of women and men who support them is a thing. If you have not personally encountered these things then believe me, I am genuinely happy for you. It means you are in a place where real feminism is working. However, that's not the case everywhere. As long as there are women being made unwelcome in male-dominant jobs, or men afraid to come forward about the women domestically abusing them for fear of emasculation, or minority women not getting the same outreach as whites (it does happen, shocker), feminism will still be relevant in those first world places.

dude unequal pay has been proven false so many fucking times. an on the "women being made unwelcome in male-dominant jobs," is also been shown that the largest reason that there are less women in these jobs is because there are less women than men that train for said jobs, or even care to do said jobs. All other points look valid.

They're called "misandrists", and they pepper the feminist landscape like Fundamentalist crazies pepper the religious ones. We're trying to weed them out, but the media likes feeding the little trolls by giving them coverage. We tried taking up a collection to send them all over to show ISIS something really scary, but after some debate our fundraiser money went to an animal shelter instead.

I love how when you talk about equality, the thing you jump to to prove it is abuse.

well technically...
