‘Men’ are not a united, co-ordinated organisation with shared motives, methods or desires, and therefore men should not be held accountable whatsoever for the actions of other men
Feminism, on the other hand, is, and therefore feminists should be held fully accountable for the actions of other feminists and bear full responsibility for any and all actions committed by feminists
He was disappointed in the country’s behavior. The national anthem is a song. The flag is a piece of cloth. It is not pure. They are items. Things. Actual patriotism is not idolatry. This flag worship and demanded reverence for a piece of fucking cloth is idolatry. It is deplorable. It is not honoring soldiers or veterans. It is idolatry.
Actual patriotism says it is not only your right but your civic duty to stand up when your country has fucked up and say it has fucked up and demand it does better.
No song, no flag, no ritual of standing is worth more than human lives. They are not even close. If you’re putting them in a hierarchy and if gazing lovingly at a textile is above or even close to the lives of actual living breathing human beings, Captain America is disappointed in you. You are why he’d be Nomad again.
LITTLE FYI:
- Men aren’t defective women.
- We do not need you to save us more masculinity.
- Men are not inherently violent sexual predators.
- Being more like women is NOT the cure to all our problems.
Fun fact, I live in Canada where we actually have gun control. Guns aren’t actually illegal. Canada has the 12th most guns on Earth, but guess what:
Murder rate:
Canada: 80th: 554 per 100,000 people
USA: 14th: 12,996 per 100,000 people
Robbery:
Canada: 28th: 94.2 per 100,000 people
USA: 18th: 146.4 per 100,000 people
Rape:
Canada: 97th: 1.7 per 100,000 people
USA: 14th: 27.3 per 100,000 people
Fun fact in a country like mine where we have gun control we have drastically less murders, robberies and rape. :)
"If you think there is no need for feminism, why are you so threatened by it?"
Because it has done things that actively hurt me. Things like the Duluth model of domestic violence, which led to Predominant aggressor laws. Laws that stated that even if my wife attacked me with a knife, I was injured, needed medical attention, and called the police for help, I’d be arrested based on arbitrary factors. Like the fact I’m taller than her, or I’m stronger. Even something as ambiguous as who is the more skilled fighter.
Because feminists fought for and achieved the “tender years doctrine” about 100 years ago, which declared that a child should go to the mother by default. Then they turned around and told the bald faced lie that the patriarchy did that, thousands of years ago.
Because they run campaigns like “Teach men not to rape” and “Men can stop rape” which not only defaults me in their views as a rapist unless someone has taken the time to swat me on the nose and say “no, bad man” when I get an erection, but also flat out denies the fact I’ve been raped by every woman I’ve been with, by one of their own definitions (by coercion).
Because they scream about the horrors of female genital mutilation, while ignoring the horrors of male genital mutilation in their back yards, and go so far as to endorse it with false claims of health benefits, and shaming that an “uncut” just looks gross.
So you tell me what isn’t reasonable about being threatened by a group known to harass, boast about beating your male partners, ban men from seeking truth about paternity, has behaved so poorly towards other groups their victims are being fined for it?

Why do you get to say who is and isn’t a Feminist?
What is your authority on the definitions of Feminism and who is allowed to call themselves that?
You do realize just how many other thousands of people who identify as Feminists (and even those who don’t) have this attitude of “MY Feminism is the TRUE Feminism anything else isn’t Feminism and those aren’t REAL Feminists”. What is it about your beliefs that mean I should take your word for it when so many others are saying the same things but with different rules?
And my original post does not reference one person in particular. It references many, many people.
Third Gender
Because that is a common occurance. Some people pick out some ancient words, usually used thousands of years ago to refer to gay, trans or intersex (which is a defect in the first place and extremely rare) people when society still didnt viewed them as normal, but as something else and used those words to distinct them from normal society, to paint them as outcasts, and seriously use this words to prove how old civilisations where “Progressive” and “Third gender happy” when in relaity they mostly used these words as an attack to everyone who was different and indentified them to torture, outcast and distinct them from everyone normal.
Guys. Let it go. SOme civilisation 1000 years ago was NOT progressive! THEY USED THESE WORDS TO HARM AND HURT PEOPLE! IT WAS NOT USED AS THIRD GENDER BUT INSTEAD TO MARK SOMEONE AS AN OUTCAST AND OKAY TO HARM BECAUSE THEY WHERE ABNORMAL YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.
ALL of these words you pick out and use as “proof” that third genders exist IS NOTHING BUT WORDS TO DESCRIBE TRANS OR GAY PEOPLE AND TO HARM THEM. HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID TO NOT GET SOMETHING SO EASY.
On top of that, it could be construed as transphobic because it's denying trans people's acceptance because they are transitioning from one gender to another and denies that they are the gender they identify with.
They’re demonstrably wrong.
There is no hate speech exception to the First Amendment-
https://www.su
“[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend … strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express “the thought that we hate.”
When it comes to neo-Nazis, the right to promote their twisted thinking goes back to the 1977 case Nationalist Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie. Organizers who described their group as a “Nazi organization” wanted to march through the streets of Skokie, Ill., which was at the time a village where over half the residents were Jewish, some survivors of Nazi concentration camps. The residents of Skokie argued the march would “incite or promote hatred against persons of Jewish faith or ancestry.” In the end, the Supreme Court upheld the Nazis’ right to march with swastikas, on the grounds that promoting religious hatred is not a reason for suppressing speech.
Notice the buzzword “incite.”
Notice they were upheld
Imminent lawless action” is a standard currently used that was established by the United States Supreme Court in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), for defining the limits of freedom of speech.
OP is wrong. Meme is wrong.
The best part about being an individual is that your existence isn't justified by others; it's whatever you make of it.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
The sexual abuse of a child is probably the most vile thing a human being can do and would never even be considered by anyone of sound and decent mind. To take another human being and sexually abuse them in their most vulnerable state (a child) is unforgivable and should be punished to the fullest extent. The irretrievable innocence and irreparable damage the victim has to carry for life puts this crime above murder in my opinion.
To even equate this serious violation of human rights to someone jacking it to a drawing is absolutely disgraceful in my opinion, and a complete trivialisation of what CSA survivors have to endure, and a trivialisation of pedophilia in general.
A loophole in the 13th amendment allows for forcible work as punishment for crimes. So, companies, profit off of this by accessing the labor force of 2.4 million inmates.
Insourcing is cheaper than outsourcing labor to other countries. If a product says "Made in America" it was probably made by inmates.
Prisoners also make 6x less than the minimum, and usually leave prison with -debt- because of commission and communication costs from private prisons.
Whole Foods pays inmates .74 cents a day to raise tilapia they sell for 12$ a pound.
Walmart buys virtually all its produce from prison labor farms where it's not unheard of for prisoners to work in unsafe conditions.
Victoria's Secret also gets in on it, usually have inmates sewing undergarments for roughly $1 a day.
In 1993, AT&T laid off thousands of telephone operators and replaced them with inmates who they paid $2 a day.
Congress authorized back in November for a deal to be negotiated and signed. It was not negotiated or signed by the Obama administration
I’m sorry but adding the black and brown stripes to the LGBT flag not only disrespects the entire POC sector of the LGBT community because it implies they were never part of LGBT in the first place despite the instigator of the Stonewall Riots being a black drag queen, but it only divides the community further along racial lines. The flag is for all LGBT people regardless of race. The new stripes add nothing to it.
