Can we talk about misogyny and male entitlement?

I'll believe men can't do an equally good job when you show me a study proving it.

Well you're gonna be waiting then. Look at mammals in general, the female is just more apt to take care of her child while the male tries to provide. Same thing for humans, except we have emotions and feelings that jumble everything up into a clusterfuck.

Stay classy. Disagreeing with you doesn't make me one.

You're right, but you aren't considering that they're just trying to survive as a species. They don't have machines, and it's more that the males are better equipped for acting as hunter/gatherers and providing sustenance, something that doesn't exist in Western society.

DMX filed for bankruptcy because he owes child support for the twelve children he has fathered so far. if that isnt proof of a broken system, by golly, i dont know what is.

Well I mean he also probably spent a good portion of that money on crack so maybe he could have paid it. He was a pretty successful rapper and a mediocre actor but was in some sorta big movies.
 
He was just as entitled to that crack and/or cocaine( you know i aint touching that drug/race argument) as any man!
 
You sound like a pompous little freshman who thinks he was enlightened because he took some bs womens studies class 2nd semester

this is rape culture and it needs to die. I was protesting half naked saying "NOT ASKING FOR IT" and this man looked at me, he wanted to rape me and that is not ok.

Here's a hint: Women have vaginas and mammary glands. Men do not. From the most basic and fundamental level of biology, women are more equipped and are better at caring for children than men. Culture alone doesn't completely remove us from the animal kingdom. We are absolutely still animals.

I can admit when I'm wrong, and in this case I am. I would still be curious to see some studies though.

New study in...women have vaginas and tits and men do not. In a study where babies where given to men and women and told to keep them alive, sucking on the man's nipple was not enough to keep the child alive...they all died in the name if science.

I'll put it as simply as possible, because I feel like I've said it three times:

1.Women have to make that decision, men don't have to.

2. The reasons why have nothing to do with biology.

3. Unfair.

What makes a mother worth any less than a man that has a job and a wage? A mother is a VITAL part to a household, and so is a husband with a job. The illusion that a mother's job is worth any less than the husbands is a joke. Setting currency aside, obviously.

Also, did you know 40 of domestic abuse is suffered by men in the UK?

I forgot the video name, but while a women being abused is a serious problem in public, a man being abused in public was treated as a joke and was laughed at.

But also, people get so fucking soft these days. Any 15 year old white girl with access to the internet thinks they are a social justice worker saying "omg wouldnt it b liek so great to have a gay president?!?!?"

You perpetrate the idea that that person is different because they are gay. The only thing different is there attraction for the same sex.
 
Fuck the #yesallwomen campaign. Gender issues notwithstanding, the hashtag is nothing more than the murder of a few kids conveniently occurring just in time for sub-adult fuckwit girls (not women) to take advantage of the tragedy to bolster their status updates and pat themselves on the back.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. In the pursuit of logic and impartial judgement, your reasoning is beyond deficient.

I'm actually arguing that being a mother is worth just as much as having a job and a wage if not more. I'm also arguing that at the center of it being devalued is the fact that women suffer economically and have less power in or out of marriage than men do. A women who makes the home her primary occupation is at financial and cultural whim of her spouse with an income. What if the man is a tyrant or abusive? What if the man lords the fact that he is her sole benefactor over her?

I'm arguing that it's unfair that a man with a family actually does better in a professional career than a single man (because of unpaid domestic labor and support provided by his spouse) and the exact opposite is true of women. I'm all for women being valued for their domestic labor and child-rearing skills but the truth is that these are both culturally and economically undervalued in our society.

Yeah, but men are way better animals than women.

Dude you are so far gone from anything resembling a coherent argument.

While I dont like you and I hate your argument, Gato is clearly in the wrong here. What you're saying makes plenty of sense and doesn't deserve to be discounted without explanation.
 
Maybe it's just me but it seems like more women than men are dumb enough to think a hashtag campaign will lead to any meaningful change, especially in second and third world countries.
 
As someone whose goal in life is to be a stay at home dad/trophy husband, I'm all for the argument that men can be just as good parents as women. Sure, I don't have mammary glands, but, luckily, with a little bit of money I can just go to a store and buy baby formula, which kind of solves that problem.

Obviously, biologically, men are designed to have sex with as many women as possible and have as many offspring as possible and not give a shit about any of them, while women are designed to have just a few children and care for them for many years, but considering we, as a species, have overcome biology before (e.g. condoms, marriage), I don't see why we can't do it again when it comes to parenting.

This actually may not be entirely true in the case of us and some of our primate ancestors. Robert Sapolsky suggests that in a lot of primate species the beta males (caring, compassionate, less violent etc.) tend to be more attractive breeding partners for females because of their clear advantage in being able to care for their young. Also alpha males typically meet bloody and premature ends (there's always the other alpha's out there who want to fuck your day up) and therefore are less likely to be around for longer than your middle-of-pack beta. Theres good reason to extrapolate this data to human behavior. Generally speaking being an alpha isn't necessarily the best evolutionary advantage.
 
So Ive read through this thread and I'm just gonna toss in my two cents.

Is it so bad to have gender rolls? if we view women as equal, but realizing they are extremely different then men, and give them different tasks that better fit their biological differences (comparing them to men) I don't see why that idea in itself is wrong. Ive seen people want studies to support their claims and I have one that i just found on google so i guess i can't attest to its validity but these are all over.

Studies suggesting that children in stable homes have a greatly increased percentage of having a life of success,http://www.clasp.org/resources-and-publications/states/0086.pdf

Now I believe that this works because of gender rolls that have been in place for quite some time. it is a proven system, not flawless by any means, but it works.

that may have not made sense, I apologize, its late and i need to go to bed!

This would be good news if I wasn't so clearly an Alpha. Damn. Guess my fate is be killed off in battle, not spend my days growing old at home with the kids while my wife works herself to an early grave :(

What brought this thread back? Are their still people out there who think women folk have any business voting or even partaking in a Man's conversation?

Some families choose to have both parents work (mine) and pay out of pocket for child care. Some choose to have the wife stay home with the kids. Some choose to have the Dad stay home with the kids. All of them give up some level of financial prosperity to have and raise kids.

I really don't get the primes of your post, since you are essentially agreeing with everyone, except that you take some issue with the idea of raising a family; the whole fucking reason for human existence. Ask women who chose to give up, or postpone a career if they regret the decision? Oh wait, that would implode your whole argument.

what the actual fuck are you talking about?

are you really trying to use evolution to explain why being a beta is better?

Just lol.
