I'm not a feminist because I don't think women need any more rights than they already have in America. Women are not mistreated, or treated as less in this country. In fact, women have it SO much easier than men. Here's a list of why I don't think we need feminism and more rights for women in America (I'm all for it in developing countries where it's actually needed).
1. Women will almost always win a custody case against her child's father.
2. Women can choose to terminate their pregnancy without considering how the father of her unborn child may feel about it, but he'll be forced to pay child support if she chooses to keep it, even if he doesn't want to be a parent.
3. If a man can't afford to pay child support, the mother can choose to file charges and put him in jail, but if she isn't making enough money to support her children, she gets government assistance.
4. Men make up almost all workplace fatalities and workplace injuries because they occupy more dangerous, but necessary positions.
5. Men are homeless far more often than women.
6. At the age of 18, a male has to sign up for the draft, meaning that if we were to go to war, he may have to risk his life, while women wouldn't have to.
7. Women can be as emotional as they want and talk about their feelings as much as they want, but if a man does it more often than rarely, he's a *****.
8. If a women is overweight or obese she has "curves" and calling her fat is "fat shaming", while an overweight or obese man is just another gross neckbeard that needs to work out and quit playing video games all day.
9. Men are raped more often than women (including prison statistics), yet they're far less likely to have a rape or sexual assault accusation taken seriously, and on that note, a woman can decide the day after she sleeps with a man that she regrets it, and she can accuse him of raping her (remember mattress girl?) and ruin his reputation even if he's not convicted.
10. Domestic violence rates for men on women, women on men and even women on women are about equal, yet a woman is far more likely to have a domestic violence accusation taken seriously. When a man says his wife is abusing him, he'll probably be asked something along the lines of "What'd you do to piss her off?". And if a man defends himself by hitting a girl back when she hits him, he's the bad guy who should have just restrained her because he's stronger.
11. Feminists like to go on and on about how overly sexualized women are in the media, and how unrealistic beauty standards for women are when they're the same for men. I don't see any fat male marvel super heroes. I don't see any fat or average looking male models. Male video game characters are unrealistically strong and muscular, too, but no, people only freak out when Tracer's butt is too visible when she's posing.
12. The education system is tailored to fit girls' learning needs, not boys'.
13. Men tend to work longer hours, go for more lucrative careers and work more overtime, but instead of being rewarded and praised for their hard work, they get told they just have male privilege and that the wage gap has everything to do with that (which is bull****).
14. Men are more likely to go to prison than a woman for the exact same crime. Men are also likely to get a harsher, longer sentence for the same crime.
15. If a man finds a women attractive and tells her so, he's objectifying her, but if he doesn't find her attractive, he's shallow, or he's a pig.
16. Men that choose progressing their careers over spending time with their families are deemed immoral and selfish, while women that do the same are empowered.
17. If a man tries to be a gentleman, he's chauvinistic, but if he's doesn't he's rude. There's just no winning with feminists...
18. Men are more often the victims of assault.
19. Men make up the majority of drug addicts (Hmmmm maybe because they aren't allowed to express their feelings without being a whiney little *****? Nah that couldn't possibly have anything to do with it).
20. And finally, if I were a man saying any of this, I'd be called a misogynistic, woman-oppressing ******* that only says all of this to preserve the patriarchy.
So. I think that if you're a real feminist that actually cares about the rights of oppressed women, you should pack up and move somewhere your ideology could actually benefit them.
