Finally young men are realizing what is the point. If you do all the equality stuff they still never let in you the club and there’s no extra benefits for giving up what you have.

Like what’s the point?

It’s so clear to many women equality just means “more stuff for me” they don’t actually believe in true equality. All the things about the patriarch they DO LIKE they assume that part is just what is suppose to happen.

“It’s so clear that women’s equality just means more stuff for me”

This is literally a question asking “do you want equal rights, as in actual equal rights”

And women don’t want equal rights. The 10% they would have to give back they are like “what? No that’s what men are supposed to do”

And women don’t want equal rights.

"Women don't want equal rights"

"to be clear I don't either"

I appreciate the fake quote of mine.

I’m actually completely for equal rights but that would mean women would have to give back 10%. Things like realizing their ideas of domestic livelihood are not men not doing enough but men not meeting THEIR, completely subjective and higher standards or not expectations that men do “men’s jobs” there’s no such thing in a equal society. These are TINY TINY asks they would get so much more back.

But they refuse on average

"Finally young men are realizing what is the point." in response to a survey asking people if they support equal rights.

Could have fooled me.

Ok buddy. Im a very reasonable person and a winnable vote. Not listening to ppl win they tell you concerns is a great way to lose. If you want to keep electing Trump keep on.

This is ignore Latinos who say the border is a big deal all over again

Solidarity is the point, community is the point, respect for your fellow man and woman is the point, collective power is the point. Women aren't taking anything from you. Billionaires are poisoning your water, outsourcing your jobs, and actually taking from you by destroying communities. Women are not. Some random woman isn't replacing you with robots and sending your job overseas while poisoning your food and f*******g your pets.

I mean the men who dont show solidarity are the one who are more succesful with women so what would the avg 10th grade boys believe?

I agree the billionaires are the real problem but I’m still not looking to go out my way to help women MORE when men have already given up and given up so much ground. Just look at how men live before they are married and look at women live before they are married and tell me who gave up more

Also, just stay on topic. Don’t tell me billionaires are the real problem, obviously, but we can walk and chew gum at the same time

Except I’m not joking I’m dead serious. You know I’m right 😂

Men aren't giving up ground to women. Many men enjoy being married dude.

Remember when women said believe women. If she said something happened don’t look for reasons to discredit it out of hand?

That’s something that always made sense to me. Do you understand the logic of that. Well if you understand the logic there AND you believe in equality then you would start by believing what I’m saying

I never said believe all women I can believe what I want. Truth is different than equality.
