[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 419718, member: 57984"] It's been said that nature -- Mother Nature -- is at least a little bit misandrist. There is a cultural, and biological, impulse to try and route all sympathy and attention -- and, hence, resources -- towards women (presumably because they are the gender who births and, hopefully, nurtures the babies, which maintains the species). Feminism seems to be about denying that dynamic, that privilege, in order to increase it and to sidestep any previous reciprocation. Women no longer want to be "traditional" women (and I don't blame them one bit) but men are still expected to be traditional men (supplying attention, utility, protection and resources as per usual). And although women have their own careers and money today, they're still not interested in marrying "down" (a guy with lesser income or stature) while men will marry down economically without hesitation and always have. So it's about that. And governments and the corporations are complicit in that, because 54% of the electorate are women and 85% of the consumer dollars are spent by women (and they're not just buying groceries and diapers). That gives the "powerless" a whole lot of power -- if we'd just stop raping 5 out of 4 of them every 3 seconds. The faux-victim thing is fundamental to it. And actual male-victims don't count at all (and would just take away from the attention directed towards her victim-posing). In fact, the feminist culture doesn't seem to be particularly interested in women who are [B][I]actually [/I][/B]victimized -- so Feminism is innately misogynistic. To be semi-fair, a lot of women are not conscious of the overall dynamic any more than a lot of men are. The 'all-men-are-evil-at-their-core' and 'all-women-are-saintly-at-their-core' presumptions, ubiquitous in the media and culture, prevent any discussion about what's really going on. But once you see it, you can never un-see it. [IMG width="724px"]https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/feminism-today.jpg?quality=85&strip=all[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
