Okay then, here is the things you do not have that men do have, anything else in the world you can pretty much get. Have these social expectations. There is no 'privilege' women can't get if they don't put their mind to it.

Women have better life expectancies than men, which is one thing that stands tall above all the privileges you can get. They get less depressed, just pissed off monthly, and I don't expect to get away with that cheap shot at women's periods. And, when a divorce happens the woman is 'stuck' with the kids, the man can't have them by law, he may want them with all his heart but he can't have them, or the home. And how about the man not do the buying, how about the women shower the man with gifts. That's not being privileged, noooo, gestures of love are not the same as 'being appreciated.' How about men just stopped helping women in any way. Then we'd see how well it is. Perhaps those work related deaths would change from 93% males to a more balanced number.

i love how life expectancy is now a privilege - that's not something we can control, you guys. we can make ourselves unhealthy and possibly kill ourselves but life expectancy is not a privilege where salary is.

i don't know about in your country but in England you can file a suit if you want your kids and both parents will fight for their kids in court if they have to, and so the woman is in no way "stuck" with the kids


in fact, males even have the privilege of being able to walk down the street shirtless. i understand they fought for that, but women fight for that and are still denied it. why?

True in Scotland it is the very same thing. However, that proves the point of that point of argument, using the fact that the women care for the children as obsolete, your statement has helped me write off that point.

And I love how women talk about being modest with their clothing, you know, "it doesn't have to be itsy bitsy" and them they fight to walk down the street with no shirt on.

So you can see that society already sympathizes with women, time to have a men's movement now, no? Or is that sexist :lol:
Its a real story btw, you can find the video of it etc if you want

Why wouldn't someone help him? Just walk up to them, ask them what's up, and try to help point them in the right direction.

Point is, you have quite many, as potato pointed out.
That's why men don't like you asking for more.
Also apparently now this got back to zero facts crying over lack of rights somehow.
Facts please, I like them in arguments.
I'm sorry that you want complete domination and most of the world, including women, disagrees with you. We want equality too. We want women to walk shirtless on the roads too. Let's fight for that together shall we?
Now hating on men cause you want to end sexism is like hating on white people to stop racism. Not gonna work.

Just the fact that half the world has come to laugh at feminists while they initially agreed with the movement and passed laws etc, as in vote rights, proves that the notion is not only outdated but worthless too.
Its an era of results, if you can get them then all's good, gender doesn't matter.
You don't want to view that? So be it. You understand that? Good for you you'll avoid a harsh bubble bursting later on in life.
My opinion is to stop before you actually start losing on what you gained so far. #3rdReichStyle

+1

What turned from hot anger against oppression turned into cold hate against not having everything in the world. We seen how a female prime minister worked out (Maggie Thatcher.) there are two sides to that, one that praised her as 'the iron lady' when she died, the other sang 'ding dong the witch is dead'

Hardly. The group of men waving that flag are about as recognised as a stone on the pavement.
