Hmmm… this really is the stupidest post I’ve seen today. Choosing to be a hero even if you haven’t gone through trauma is a commendable choice. You don’t have to lose your family and your soul to decide that standing up for others is worthwhile. Not every superhero needs a tragic backstory.

[mr-sincounter-blog]

true, but you actually need… a compelling story at least.

[our-radical-thoughts]

That’s just your opinion, because wanting to be powerful and do good is an arc to me, one that Carol certainly has. The way sexism comes to play is in shaping her as a person, not as a backstory, and that’s meaningful and compelling.

[mr-sincounter-blog]

but why? why does Carol want to be “powerful and good?” good in what sense? powerful for what purpose? To prove herself to Jude Law? That’s about as laughable as all the times she blasted him because she felt like it. sure, Carol is given a ‘goal’ to straight out her memories and fight the evil green aliens, but she doesn’t have any emotional or personal investment in it in any way. Her curiosity is basically what drives the majority of the movie, and you’re just as detached from her goals as she is. It’s Mary Sue storytelling 101

“No one has the right to use another person’s body against their will”

But the unborn need that right. I wholeheartedly believe that and I don’t think you can change my mind on that. The unborn need that right like no one else does. We were all unborn at one point. Every human on earth has had to live in a womb for ~9 months. Everyone.

If no one has the right to survive the first nine months of life, no one’s right to life is guaranteed. Ever.

[motherbychoice]

I hate to break it to you, but no one’s right to life is guaranteed anyway.

And no one has the ‘right to survive.’ People die all the time because they don’t have access to the resources they need to survive.

[reproductivejusticeandliberty]

If I got sick and needed one particular person to give me a blood transfusion to survive, I wouldn’t be given the right to take it without their express and enthusiastic consent. Why does a fetus get that right and I don’t? You’re right about one thing though, OP. No one’s right to life is guaranteed ever because the right to life does not exist. The very world we have created for ourselves proves this over and over again. -V

[apersnicketylemon]

Also like, if a person needs an organ, since they NEED the right to another persons body, does that mean they can take it from anyone? 

If you allow a fetus to use a persons body without their consent because they need to do it, then theoretically everyone who needs to use a persons body for any reason is allowed to just do so, because, well, they needed it. So. Mandatory organ donation now if you ever come up a match, even if you aren’t old enough to know what you’re doing, or really don’t want to. 

A person needing use of a persons body doesn’t override bodily autonomy already. Even if they will die. You already don’t actually have a right to life (If one even exists it already does under bodily autonomy anyways) but your right to continued existence…. doesn’t actually exist. At all. You aren’t guaranteed any time on this planet, at all, it isn’t a right. 

[mr-sincounter-blog]

lol @j-brav0​ already explained why that organ transplant analogy doesn’t work with comparing it to a pregnancy. a fetus doesn’t take the woman’s womb, it doesn’t ask for anything, and it doesn’t wills itself into existence. that’s solely on the parents.

an important question you’re not asking yourself is: How does an unwanted pregnancy occur in the first place? and how does someone end up needing an organ transplant?

Why does this matter? Because you can control whether or not a pregnancy occurs, even if it’s not 100% of the time. You can’t control whether or not someone ends up needing a transplant at all.

People aren’t pro life solely because they know the fetus needs to stay in the womb to survive. They’re pro life because they know doing anything to try to end the pregnancy will result in the killing of an innocent human being. I’m pro choice (begrudgingly) but I am fully aware that that’s exactly what I’m condoning.

You’re right. Nobody’s life is guaranteed. Not every fertilized egg comes comes to grow into an infant, abortion or no abortion. Nobody has the guarantee to not be killed either. Or beaten. Tortured. Raped. Robbed. Or any other possible negative outcome. That’s still a sad excuse to ignore the truth for what it is.

Men are WEAK. They have been putting the burden of birth control on women since forever but its time they started taking some responsibility

[an-angry-lesbian]

It’s because it’s not birth control for them. They aren’t the ones who have to face the consequences of not taking it and men have a congenital lack of empathy.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Right. Because “child support” isn’t a thing that exists, and men aren’t shamed if they don’t “take responsibility” for knocking a women up, including by many pro-choice people.

Also, OP was wrong or lying.

[diagnalley]

Hahaha by all means keep living in your alternate reality

[siryouarebeingmocked]

[diagnalley]

I don’t understand what you mean about the whole men being shamed for knocking up women thing

[siryouarebeingmocked]

You’ve…never seen a person or media product that said men should take responsibility for kids they don’t want?

I’d argue that the fact this is widely debated proves it’s an issue to many people. I rarely even see feminists dispute the idea a man is expected to pay at least child support even if he didn’t want the kid, though I have seen a few rage at deadbeat dads. 

>One Jezebel article put them in the same category as rapists and abusers; people whose rights should not be defended<. I certainly hope the writer does not represent all or most feminists.

Men lack so much empathy that we willingly put ourselves into danger to keep others from being hurt. Riiiiight.

[cutthegordianknots-deactivated2]

Unless you are referring to condoms (which doesn’t affect hormones), then no, men have not had birth control longer than women.  You simply need to look up how modern birth control works to understand why it’s easier to design a birth control pill (or injection, or any other internal mechanism) for women than it is for men.  And IIRC, the last male birth control pill that was pulled from study (by the researchers, not the participants) was done so because there was a high rate of side effects, including permanent sterilization.

I suppose you could argue that a vasectomy is birth control too, but that has the primary effect of sterilization.  And chemical castration has been a thing for awhile now, but…well, I’m sure you can guess.

[diagnalley]

Hahaha “it’s easier to design a birth control pill for women” lmaoo shut up

[cutthegordianknots-deactivated2]

You could’ve just said “I don’t know how birth control works” and saved yourself some keystrokes

What is the female equivalent of neckbeards & fedoras? Cause this is definitely it.

[coletteisonline]

I feel like most of those memes and posts (like the one above) equate men with patriarchy, so by “kill all men” they mean “disestablish patriarchy”. You can hate patriarchy and make privilege and still enjoy the romantic/sexual company of men.

@lookitscolette Occam’s Razor. The simplest explanation, or the explanation needing the fewest assumptions in logic, is usually the most correct.  They say men. To assume they mean “destablish the patriarchy” assumes they are equating men IN THIS ONE INSTANCE, to the patriarchy.  I don’t assume a genuine desire to dismantle anything. And if there is, they are doing a damn shoddy job of expressing it. 

[coletteisonline]

Yeah I highly doubt these posts are legitimately promoting a gendered genocide but believe what you want to believe buddy

[crimsondragon89-deactivated2017]

Is there any reason for believing this, or is it just what you want to believe?

[coletteisonline]

Common sense :-)

[crimsondragon89-deactivated2017]

Which makes no real sense considering the circumstances.

This individual has said “kill all men”, yet instead of genocide you believe they are saying to dismantle the patriarchy. Common Sense would say that they want to kill all men, because we are given no other indication beyond that. We have absolutely no reason to believe that they don’t mean to kill all men.

So no, common sense says the exact opposite of what you’re saying. Assumptions and presupposed notions might, but damn sure not common sense.

[sosungalittleclodofclay-deactiv]

the notion that you can say ‘kill all men’ while living in an oppressive patriarchy is hard to comprehend.

[crimsondragon89-deactivated2017]

Eeyup

[judgingeternity]

Well that is the ultimate paradox of “patriarchy theory” which is the idea that its this all encompassing thing that’s strong enough to crush anyone from expressing themselves and all that shit, whilst weak enough or passive enough that it allows feminism to exist at all. It’s why the whole “The media is against us” narrative a lot of feminists spew is basically borderline retardation steeped in paranoia since the media ‘loves’ feminists.

[lastsonlost]

[ellactra-deactivated20180109]

I’m sure a guy giving rape advice on Twitter would go over well, there certainly wouldn’t be a witch-hunt and he wouldn’t have his life ruined (as he should).

The patriarchy seems to be failing men these days.

So if I hear someone going “My mom/dad/teacher’s gonna KILL me!”, I’d best start dialing 911, correct?

[deactivating-this-account-deact]

that’s an idiom commonly used in a casual or playful way.

this shit, on the other hand? not an idiom.

neither is this,

nor this,

nor this.

don’t try to justify “kill all ______” statements because “uwu it’s just an expwessiown!!”

by that logic, this is okay:
