If men can’t have a say in women’s rights, than women shouldn’t have a say in men’s rights.
But literally men have had control over womens rights for thousands of years and it still exists today😂😂😂
Women are the majority of voters in the US, we have the popular opinion. Nothing is stopping women from being in politics, plenty of women are.
Women lack no basic rights in the US, men do.
Plus I love voting and not being on the draft.
Don’t forget that reduced/no jailtime for identical criminal offenses men make
Also winning the majority of child custody cases based solely on the fact that they’re a woman and women are supposed to be “more nurturing” to children
You’re wrong again, @vivairi see, MRAs have washed your brain so much you’ve become incompetent enough to do actual research. (even if your false claim was true, it still isn’t the fault of women)
You’re just mad I called you comedy gold
no actually i laughed, but still you’re wrong with your claim.
The funniest part of this whole thing is, I’m not.
Men are given much higher sentences than women convicted of the same crimes in federal court and receive sentences that are 63 percent higher, on average, than their female counterparts. Additionally, females arrested for a crime are also significantly more likely to avoid charges and convictions entirely, and twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted.
When it comes to child custody, one of every six custodial parents (17.5 percent) are fathers.
But your misogyny is cute. Tell me more about how women can’t think for themselves if they have different opinions than you.
Honey, an objective fact isn’t a “different opinion”. Stop trying to twist shit to put them in your narrative. Yes, you can’t think for yourself obviously, coming from how you can’t do research. Disagreeing with you isn’t misogyny hon.
Okay, so let’s move on to my regular, MRA humiliating session, i’m really bored of doing this everyday you know? Like, i’m starting to think since y'all repeat the same false shit over and over again, maybe y'all are bots? Seems reasonable enough. I may change my mind if y'all start to act like interactive human beings who can learn.
Okay, first of all:
Court bias? I’m actually tired of you MRAs repeat the same lies.
According to DivorcePeers.com, the majority of child custody cases are not decided by the courts.
In 51 percent of custody cases, both parents agreed — on their own — that mom become the custodial parent.In 29 percent of custody cases, the decision was made without any third party involvement.In 11 percent of custody cases, the decision for mom to have custody was made during mediation.In 5 percent of custody cases, the issue was resolved after a custody evaluation.Only 4 percent of custody cases went to trial and of that 4 percent, only 1.5 percent completed custody litigation.
In other words, 91 percent of child custody after divorce is decided with no interference from the family court system. How can there be a bias toward mothers when fewer than 4 percent of custody decisions are made by the court honey? Or is it that majority of judges are also male, do they have a “misandry bias” against themselves too?
Stats:
1. Fathers are less involved in their children’s care during the marriage.
2. Fathers are less involved in their children’s lives after divorce.
3. Mothers gain custody because the vast majority of fathers choose to give them custody.
4. There is no Family Court bias in favor of mothers because very few fathers seek custody during divorce.
So like, get your facts right next time. Just because there is a sheer number, doesn’t mean there isn’t a context beyond it. Men DON’T ASK FOR CUSTODY. Even if they do, they’re more likely to get it. They’re deadbeats, accept it.
how about the stats on absent fathers? or the amount of time fathers spend with children once the divorce is final. According to the above study, when fathers and children live separately, 22 percent of fathers see their children more than once a week. Twenty-nine percent of fathers see their children one to four times a month. The most disturbing fact though is that 27 percent of fathers have no contact with their children at all. Some fathers, those among the 27 percent who have no contact with their children post-divorce, may even argue that gender bias during divorce litigation is the reason they no longer engage in parenting or any form of relationship with their children.
See? Easy, MRAs have washed your brain and you didn’t even look for a counter-argument. This is what i meant by being incompetent. Don’t scream into an echo chamber.
Second:
Women get lesser sentences.
Again, you (as all mras) seem to forget that majority of judges are male. Considering, less than %20 of crimes are committed by women, AND the exceptions of context, and two different crime categories, this still isn’t women’s fault. Are you impying male judges have a self-hating misandry bias again?
http://law.jrank.org/pages/1250/Gender-Crime-Differences-between-male-female-offending-patterns.html
prostitution is one of the two crime categories where women get longer sentences than johns and pimps.
This is true in all countries for which data are available. It is true for all racial and ethnic groups, and for every historical period. In the United States, women constitute less than 20 percent of arrests for most crime categories.
Females have even lower representation than males do in serious crime categories. Since the 1960s in the United States, the extent of female arrests has generally been less than 15 percent for homicide and aggravated assault, and less than 10 percent for the serious property crimes of burglary and robbery.
Aside from prostitution, female representation has been greatest for minor property crimes such as larceny-theft, fraud, forgery, and embezzlement. Female arrests for these crime categories has been as high as 30 to 40 percent, especially since the mid-1970s. The thefts and frauds committed by women typically involve shoplifting (larceny-theft), “bad checks” (forgery or fraud), and welfare and credit fraud—all compatible with traditional female consumer/domestic roles.
Trends in female crime relative to male crime are more complex. Some writers claim that female crime has been increasing faster than male crime, as measured by the percentage of female arrests. This has clearly been true in the case of minor property crimes, where the percentage of female arrests had about doubled between 1960 and 1975 (from around 15 to 30 percent or more), with slight additional increases since then. Smaller but fairly consistent increases are also found for substance abuse categories, but they remain less than 20 percent for all categories. The same can be said of major property crimes (which remain less than 10 to 15%). However, the percentage of female arrests has declined for other categories like homicide and prostitution; and it has fluctuated for still other categories such as aggravated assault and druglaw violations (see Steffensmeier, 1993, for a review of trends and explanations).
Women commit crimes enormously less than men, and when they do get lighter sentences for the same crime, it isn’t her own doing.
Whether these patterns of more lenient sentencing for women reflect unwarranted disparities or legitimate sentencing considerations that happen to disproportionately benefit women has been the subject of lively debate. Analyses of data and case law have suggested that judges’ paternalistic attitudes toward women might hold women to be more vulnerable and sympathetic and less responsible than men (Nagel & Johnson, 1994; Segal, 2000; Schazenbach, 2004). Differences may arise from enduring attitudes that hold women more responsible for child care.
Part of the more lenient treatment may arise, however, from differences between the genders that are relevant to sentencing but not well captured by the available data. Several commentators have noted that women offenders are often among the least culpable members of criminal conspiracies, yet are subject to lengthy sentences due to the conduct of their accomplices, on whom they may be emotionally or financially dependent (Demleitner, 1995). Judges may seek to mitigate the effects of strict application of the guidelines rules based on female offenders sometimes being dominated by more culpable male accomplices. There is also reason for judges to believe that women are more instrumental in raising their children than their male counterparts (Wald, 1995; Raeder, 1993), and may suffer more from imprisonment than do men due to greater separation from their families caused by the relative scarcity of prisons for women (Seldin, 1995).

Women are seen as weak, delicate accessories for men, hence why even the male judges don’t take them seriously. And the burden of fixing this is women’s problem if men are so annoyed by it? Why won’t they consider doing something then instead of screeching about feminism online? Oh wait, there HAS been feminist campaigns to bring this issue onto the light https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/04/prision-injustice-feminism/
Another exception in crime: Partner homicide.
http://m.digitaljournal.com/news/crime/sentences-are-lighter-for-men-who-murder-female-partners-study/article/450197
Women who kill or commit violence against male intimate partners usually receive longer sentences than men who kill or commit violence against female intimate partners, even in self-defense.
In general, men who abuse, beat or kill their wives or girlfriends tend to get very light sentences.
However, the same is not true for women. Women who assault or kill male partners tend to get extremely harsh sentences, even if they do so in self-defense.
According to US statistics compiled by the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women:
The average prison sentence for men who kill their intimate partners is 2 to 6 years. Women who kill their partners are sentenced, on average, to 15 years. A pair of Maryland cases vividly illustrates this inequality in sentencing. In one case, a judge in Baltimore County, Maryland sentenced Kenneth Peacock to 18 months for killing his unfaithful wife. The very next day, another judge in the same county sentenced Patricia Ann Hawkins to three years in prison for killing her abusive husband. Significantly, the prosecutor in the Peacock case requested a sentence twice as long as the one imposed, while the prosecutor in the Hawkins case requested one-third of the sentence imposed.
So like, are you done? I’m bored of the mra victim complex, i’m gonna get a strawberry milkshake, take a chill pill girl.
i Love how @vivairi shut up after this lmao
Hey, what can I say, I’m a busy woman! Got a whole lotta your girl to fuck.
Anyways back to the TERF, @phalloid-destroyer
You keep trying to say that I can’t do research, but look at all the pretty sources I’m giving to you! Besides, of course it’s not misogyny to disagree with me. It’s misogyny to tell me the only way a woman can have a rational thought is if she’s “brainwashed” by men.
.com sites aren’t credible sources. For such a veteran MRA shamer, you use some pretty shitty sites in the limp dicks you call “arguments”. .gov/.org/.edu sites only, thanks sweetheart.
The reason that that’s important? Is because your source is entirely, 300% wrong. In actuality, according to the United States Census Bureau, approximately half (48.7 percent) of all 13.4 million custodial parents had a court order or some type of agreement to receive financial support from the noncustodial parent(s). The majority of the 6.5 million parents with agreements were reported by the custodial parent as formal legal agreements—established by a court or other government entity—(89.8 percent), while 10.2 percent were informal agreements or understandings.
So, since that pretty much negates your entire first point, I’ll move on, hon.
You’ve kind of got a lot of nerve insinuating that I live in an echo chamber when you plug your ears and shriek when presented with any real facts. I wonder if you’d still be this attentive to the argument if I was a man, or if you’d brush it off? Probably the latter. Misandrists like you are all the same.
Concerning the legal bias:
“Again, you (as all mras) seem to forget that majority of judges are male. Considering, less than %20 of crimes are committed by women, AND the exceptions of context, and two different crime categories, this still isn’t women’s fault.”
Except, surprise, the stats between the number of crimes committed by women versus the number of crimes committed by men doesn’t matter–you just threw that in because you’re grasping at straws here. The argument is not “who commits crimes more”, it’s “who gets a lesser sentence when doing the same crime”. It also doesn’t matter what sex the judge is. That’s irrelevant. Did you even look at my sources? I’m gonna say you didn’t look at my sources.
Your own source admits that women get jailed less than men.
It states as follows: “The criminal justice system’s greater “leniency” and “chivalry” toward females may explain a portion of the lower official offending rates of women in comparison to men. Although there appear to be relatively small differences between adult women and men in likelihood of arrest or conviction, women defendants do appear to have a lower probability of being jailed or imprisoned.“
You don’t even read your own sources and you expect to accomplish anything with this argument?
“Women are seen as weak, delicate accessories for men, hence why even the male judges don’t take them seriously. And the burden of fixing this is women’s problem if men are so annoyed by it?”
Firstly, your second source said absolutely zero about women being seek as “weak, delicate accessories for men”. That’s just your own projection. Here’s why you’re sexist: you see problems in humanity as gendered. Men get discriminated against in court, so you think it’s automatically a men’s issue that they should fix themselves. But it’s not. It’s a human issue, and we should all try to be fighting for what’s right.
Unfortunately, what you believe is right is hateful and bigoted, so we don’t really need or want your help.
can’t be bothered reading any of this, you’re childish for talking about my girlfriend and @phalloid-destroyer’s link absolutely did mention women being perceived as weaker, less capable, etc
iconic
besides, nowhere in there does it mention that women are “accessories for men”, so, shockingly, you’re wrong again
next time don’t weigh in on things that don’t concern you, baby
Wow… a TERF… being completely biased and wrong? Shocking! Menalez also not minding her own? Shocking again.
Looks like the “Gender is a construct, but men are inherently worse” crowd are back on their bullshit.
gender being a social construct has nothing to do with the male SEX committing the vast majority of violent crimes lol
how are those two things related in any way
Tags “those are facts my dudes” Gender as social construct is ideology, not fact m’terf.
i'm....talking about the male sex committing most of the violent crime. gender had nothing to do with that, it's observable and recorded fact that the male SEX commits those crimes. reading comprehension pls!
I’m actually glad we don’t live in an RPG world. We really take for granted being able to coexist with most animals. I don’t wanna have to pull out a longsword and beat the shit out of six crabs and two snails while a starfish snipes me with magic bullets every time I go to the beach.
graphic on screen torture of a woman is not provocative not metaphorical not deep women have made art and film about pain and sacrifice without falling back on a gross-out contest its not entertaining to see that its not compelling its actually one of the most tired things present in film today
This is the funniest email I have ever received from a professor

Things to understand...
tonidorsay:
None of this is done to girls *because they have vaginas*. It is done to girls because they are girls. It is done to women because they are women. And the act of saying that it happens to them because they have vaginas is part of the very system of oppression that also oppresses trans women: the patriarchy, which is what made that call and reinforces that idea.
As Friedrich Engels made clear, even before feminism’s First Wave, women were historically controlled because we are “a means of production”–without women, there are no heirs, and without heirs, no inherited property and wealth. Women’s reproductive capacity is why we were colonized as property, just as animals, countries, weapons and land was colonized. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been important at all; any thing we could do (cooking, cleaning, sewing clothes) could have been done as well by men (and in the military, it was). The reason women were oppressed was to control our REPRODUCTIVE ABILITIES. This does not mean all women had these abilities, but women were assumed to have them until proven otherwise. (In many religious traditions, a woman’s “barren” status was the only acceptable reason for divorce.)
There can be no other logical, rational basis for women’s oppression; unless you think men were just being “mean” or something. No, it was for a very real, profit-centered reason. Men without families and heirs could not build empires (or even working farms) and without this centralized, religiously-sanctioned consolidation of the family, the state could not have evolved. The state then effectively empowered men to be women’s keepers until very very recently in human history.
THIS is the origin of women’s oppression.
So yes, women’s oppression is because of vaginas. Also: uteri, ovaries, ovum and menstrual cycles. That is just a fact. This is what got us consigned to the lower class, and our vulnerability during pregnancy and childbirth is historically what kept us weak and dependent on men. And this is how patriarchy evolved.
To write “vaginas” (or other female body-parts necessary for baby-making) out of the history of patriarchy and the evolution of the state, is flatly incorrect.
It is also anti-feminist, since this account effectively erases the one thing women were allowed to do, the one exception to our limitations: birthing and raising children. Anything women dared to do, had to be somehow connected to that. So, the first women artists and writers were women who painted their children’s portraits; sang their kids songs or made up stories and poems for them; knitted/crocheted/sewed their clothes, created pottery for the family to eat on, etc. Women’s creativity was harshly limited to domesticity like this, and yet, we found ways to express ourselves regardless. It is a story of SURVIVAL. To explain to our daughters (as Virginia Woolf did) why there is no female Shakespeare or Chaucer, is to go back to….. VAGINA. We were only allowed to have babies and failing that, teach or take care of some other woman’s babies. Period.
Because yes, that is the historical reason we were oppressed. BODIES. VAGINAS.
I do not want to oppress trans women, but I do not want to erase the history of the SOURCE of women’s oppression. In your comments and in the comments of certain other Tumblr trans women, I see a continuous attempt to do that.
Why?
It is deliberately anti-feminist and seeks to erase women’s history.
Just because you don’t like the existence of vaginas, does not mean that you can rearrange history to make them unimportant.
too bad Sinead O'Connor’s career never recovered from speaking out against the pedophilia in the catholic church despite the fact that she was 100% right
Stop reducing native issues to “they had their land taken”.
Our sisters are still murdered and missing. Our children go hungry and cold. Our elders can’t afford health care. Our parents suffer from untreated mental illness and have addictions because they self medicate.
And thats not even on the reservations. Thats just in farming communities of the Lumbee. And we are doing well by comparison to other groups.
Stop reducing us to stolen land and erasing our real struggles.
Natives have the highest suicide rates. Natives have the most unsafe school conditions. 75% of sex trafficking victims in Canada are First Nations. Natives are the most likely to be shot by police according to some studies and just as likely to be shot as black brothers and sisters according to others. Half of the homes on reservations in the US are legally deemed “uninhabitable” despite families and children living in them. Non native people can still commit crimes against us and not even be tried under native law, usually meaning not at all. Reservations flood often, they are stricken with drought. Most urban native kids carry the weight of being the only native their classmates and other townspeople will ever know. There are no college classes for us or about us. We are struggling, y'all. We have had our land, languages, and family ripped from us, it’s more than just history, it’s 500+ years of ongoing genocide.
this is like “is this a pigeon?” only 10x better
“The concept of choice is rooted in the privilege of a genuine alternative. When I think of my choices, there were simply these: have men on and inside you, or continue to suffer homelessness and hunger. Take your pick. Make your ‘choice’“”

Rachel Dolezal Addresses Controversy Around Her Ethnicity On ‘Today’: ‘I Identify As Black’
Rachel Dolezal, the embattled former NAACP leader whose white parents say she misrepresented her identity by masquerading as a black woman for years, told the “Today” show on Tuesday that, despite the criticisms, she identifies as black.
In a brief but highly anticipated live TV interview, Dolezal, who resigned from her position as the president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, on Monday, told host Matt Lauer her self-identification with the black experience began as young as when she was 5 years old.
Watch the full ten minute interview here.
Remarkably similar to when people say ‘I identify as female/a woman. From a young age I liked to wear dresses, makeup, etc.’
I think trans people can’t handle her because it’s literally the exact same rhetoric, just replacing gender with race.
Just like being black is the lived experience of having actual black ancestry/bloodline/parents, being a woman is the lived experience of being female. To say there is something inherent to all black people besides their ancestry, and that the oppression they face is a matter of identity, is racist. To say there is something inherent to all female people besides their sex, and that the oppression they face is a matter of identity, is sexist.
To pass as black, she darkens her skin and perms her hair. To pass as female, trans women grow out their hair, wear make up and dresses. They try to emanate the caricature of what they believe to be the typical black person or woman.
Interesting how one is bigoted and the other is valid, when they are so similar.
(ps idk what to call her, because i know transracial is a term used by the black community to describe their experience growing up in adopted White households, and i feel like they shouldn’t have that term taken away from them)
I actually really enjoy that she exists because it illustrates the absurd double standards of the transactivist community.
“White liberals and white “anti-racists” usually tend to ally with black men and back black men’s causes. Black girls and women and are usually invisible to them. For example, in the recent case where two black female college students were raped by a black male college student – who admitted on tape to molesting them while they were unconscious – the college board found him guilty, before white liberal college professors took up his cause on the pretext that “black men are more likely to be falsely accused of rape,” and managed to get the ruling thrown out. They overlooked the fact that black girls and women are statistically more likely to be raped, less likely to report being raped, less likely to have their cases prosecuted when they do report rape, and less likely to receive a conviction on the rare occasion it’s bought to trial. Defending black men is “cool” for white liberals, while the invisible black woman is left as a casualty. Just a point for black women to keep in mind. For all intents and purposes, we are on our own, with only (some) other black women and individuals we align ourselves with (if we’ve chosen wisely and strategically) to count on for individual support when needed.”
