Yes, there are women who hate men. Yes, there are feminists and lesbians. No, you cannot be malicious toward a person by refusing to bed them.

It means that it sometimes is, which is just as disgusting.

For the record, I don't think we should ever allow the assumption that any woman under any circumstances not having sex with men is somehow malicious ...

He's calling embracing "lesbianhood" malicious. How is that not both entitled and bigoted? Sure, only "some," but it still means he thinks not having ...

Because I'm calling out bigotry for what it is?

It's astonishing that someone could be so entitled. Newsflash, someone not being interested in you sexually, is not malice. It just means you don't do...

This is so stupid, I'm not going to bother responding.

They aren't. There are countless examples the in the Bible that suggest adultery is a crime, especially female adultery.

I think there is value in analyzing even sensational ideas, because it allows us to uncover why we think it's so sensational in the first place. See f...

No, I think it supposes that both men and women are sexual creatures for whom that is an important part of a fulfilled life.

There are some responses that seem quite hysterical here over the suggestion that women can exercise their right to withhold sex, calling it a "tantru...

Well, there we kind of have to go back to basic questions about transgenderism. Like, if gender is based on self-id and not physical attributes, why i...

Some, compared to the vast majority over history, yes. And it's not at all like racism, because I did not say anything about men being inherently anyt...

You are free to call a car a porcupine, but it's not super useful in conversation.

I doubt that. The existence of good, feminist men does not mean those supporting patriarchy don't exist. Why did women need suffrage in the first plac...

That's true. But the people who did shape governments up until recently historically have been 99% men. So patriarchy, and the resulting societal stru...

Now you're grasping at straws. Women bearing children doesn't mean they had a voice in the creation of governments or economies. And it's not like wom...

Well, of course it's ridiculous that women haven't been influential. That's why patriarchy is so horrible. But it's what has happened.

I would say, Christianity didn't invent it, but it was founded on it, benefited from it, and endorsed it. Maybe in some ways, and not so much in other...

There's a difference between being influenced by X and being inherently X. Yeah, okay, men have only been responsible for, what?, maybe 99.9% of the h...

Cleopatra did not single-handedly create the systems of today's societies.

Along Echarmion's lines: define "plenty"? Its? I'm assuming the referent here is "society"? Which is only true if you assume patriarchy to be synonymo...

I think there are elements of racism, classism, and sexism in many of the problems poor, black women face, and the point of intersectionality would be...

Well, then you have a very strange idea of what it means to be benefited by something. I guess you wouldn't mind being someone else's property.

I'll refer you to a previous post of mine:

Which would be....? So-called? Supposedly built? Who else built them? Unicorns? Some women have tried to access power through patriarchy (see Hilary C...

1. Modern psychology recognizes the limited impact of paternal influence on children. 2. Women, though disadvantaged by patriarchy, have often been br...

Are you hoping if you just repeat yourself, you'll magically be right without paying any attention to the way Christianity has actually affected socie...

The way men have tried to "protect" women has historically included keeping them in the house, telling them whom they can be friends with, what jobs t...

Women have toiled just as much, traditionally, and currently the female workforce does more labor than the male. Men start wars and then call themselv...

Well, yes, because women have been more disadvantaged by patriarchy. There's less to fix for men. Bingo. Or because they are black and women at the sa...

Also, poverty affects black women in different ways than it affects black men, for example.

Feminism applies to men. I know I talked mainly about women's rights, but feminism is also fundamentally about opposing patriarchy, which is widely kn...

If God is the powerful rulers and also a man, then it suggests that men are powerful rulers--over whom? Women usually. Ergo, women become oppressed. T...

Right, so two things: 1. All general women's rights issues are rights issues for all intersections of women. 2. In the past feminism may have neglecte...

One case is an interesting reason to look further into a subject. It is not proof of anything. The parents are not all-powerful. The child is still gr...

This is just plain wrong. Unless you raise your child on a deserted island without books or music or any other form of human culture, the child is bei...

Can you define "male role"?

I've been reading other websites that also suggest the safety of even puberty suppressing (as opposed to gender-affirming) drugs is unknown and hard t...

"Within a few months of beginning hormone therapy, you must assume that you will become permanently and irreversibly sterile. Some people may maintain...

Are you sure they're reversible? From a friend who's adult child is transitioning I heard that it causes sterilization. I could be mistaken, however.

Yes, I believe that's reasonable. However, it's not necessarily what all trangender people want. Some advocate for allowing preteens to start medicall...

Right, but at the same time, why is identity wrapped up with the shape and style of one's underpants (and other garments)?

Ah, well, I guess you're applying the motto "when at first you fail, try and try and try again"?

This contention raises a few interesting questions. Like, why does clothing matter so much? Why would identity be contingent on clothing expression? A...

So that's what "S" stands for! And, yes, especially about the superficial part. The irony is of course that equating people with any kind of disabilit...

Can you please cite actual examples to prove your case instead of slandering people in the abstract? I don't recall anyone being mean to him, though h...

Are we allowed to have this conversation here or not? Because a bunch of posts, that I cannot identify as otherwise offensive, just got deleted. Yet h...

Because you do not live in a time or culture in which such a large group of people do believe in those things.
