wishuponasofstar:I’d just like to add a little bit of something here.“Men’s Rights” sounds very silly, doesn’t it? I mean, we’re the one’s who’ve been in power longer! However, I do think that in the feminism argument, it is looked at…rather shallowly. This is not to say I am supporting one side or the other, as I wish to maintain a neutral stance on here, but let me enlighten as to what men’s rights encompass.Rape AllegationsMilitary conscription Gay rightsAdoptionSocial security and moreRape has already been talked about here, and I’m quite sure everyone is in agreeance that the qualifications are in need of some housekeeping.I don’t wish to get in the others, because I have argued enough today on this subject, and I am tired.What I mean to say is that when you say that“Literally everything the “Men’s Rights” idiots are whining about is already a feminist issue. It’s like they cannot possibly fathom being a part of any movement that doesn’t make them feel like the gold medalists in the Oppression Olympics.”Military conscription isn’t, gay male liberation isn’t, rape allegation, etc. etc.This is a group of males discussing THEIR issues. Feminism is a group of female’s discussing and protesting THEIR issues. (Group as in the gender, obviously)So you’re right, men’s rights activists are very much like feminists; we all have issues. We all do. Female-Male equality is what I am for.I am not a men’s rights activist, nor am I a feminist.I am simply a human being who wishes to see everyone loved equally. Men and women who can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and with whomever they want to with; and no one is written off as lesser.Which is why I do not bash on feminism.For you to bash on men’s rights, though, is going past the grain and could be perceived as radical feminism.Do a double check on your words.Rape AllegationsFalse rape allegations are serious, but are vanishingly rare. Why? Because the method whith which a rape victim or alleged rape victim is treated by the justice system is so punishingly invasive, traumatic, and damaging that the vast majority of rapes go unreported, period. It is common for rape victims to describe their efforts to report their attacks as “being raped all over again.”Again, reams of words have been written on this subject by feminists, but more important, by academics and scientists and researchers who actually devote statistical study to it. And the claims of “mass rape allegations” are unfounded.http://polimicks.livejournal.com/5618.htmlhttp://www.awolau.org/2010/04/05/myth-busters-false-rape-reports/Military conscription https://www.google.com/search?q=military+conscription+feminism&hl=enReams and reams and reams of words have been written by feminists on military conscription. The usual feminist position is that “if military conscription exists, it should affect both sexes." Gay rightsFeminism is and always has been staunchly aligned with LGBTQI issues. This is just a weird claim to make, period.Adoptionsee above.Social security and moreSee above. -- source link
