Truth is men could undo it all if they wanted to


If men decided one day to take away all womens rights there would be little that women could do to stop it.

Modern men believe equality is fair, reasonable and the right thing to do.

This is a really good thing.

But still I suggest that it isn't taken for granted; just look at Afghanistan.

Afghanistan was quite progressive with women being given the right to vote in 1919 and saw pushes for equality and representation in line with the west. That is until the unrest in the 70's and onwards.

Once the male dominated Taliban came to power though in the 90's women and girls were:

Banned from going to school or studying
Banned from working
Banned from leaving the house without a male chaperone
Banned from showing their skin in public
Banned from accessing healthcare delivered by men (with women forbidden from working, healthcare was virtually inaccessible)
Banned from being involved in politics or speaking publicly

There is nothing they can do over there to stop it.

whats your point?

reply

What he is implying is that women here in the west should be grateful and stop complaining because whatever rights they do have are being granted generously by men and those same rights could be taken away at any time if they step over the line

Afghanistan? The chance of any Western country being taken over by a pre-medieval theocracy that would reduce women to pets is just about absolute zero.

missing the point?

To be fair it's already happening slowly via immigration.

Recent legal developments in America would suggest otherwise.

Londonistan, Parisistan and Swedistan disagree with you.

People like you think they have the pulse on what's going on, but what you are really doing is making everyone afraid about what is normal for cultural evolution.
Democracy will prevail without the injection of Fear.
That's what FD Roosevelt was telling us, and what you fuckers are using against us.
I'm not afraid ... unless rump is telling everyone his button is bigger than Kim Jung Un's.
That's fuckin scary.

Islamisation is not in any way "cultural evolution". It is cultural degradation. In 100 years all of France's catholic churches will be demolished like the statues of Buddha in Afghanistan.

doesn't stop far right wingers trying in the USA

reply

No way. Women are physically and mentally equal to men in every way and I almost typed that with a straight face! Ha hahahaha couldn't make it

reply

I'm damn sure there's a lot if not most women mentally superior to you.

reply

Is that your best?
Going after my mama next?

Hahahahaha so weak

reply

We've all gone after your mama, and she begged for more.
Wasn't bad but we've had better.

reply

Should’ve just left it at “We’ve all gone after your mama.” Funny though.

So you do agree we live in a patriarchal society.

reply

The history of the male dominated world is war, destruction, and collapse. Men benefit immensely by having women in charge. The Second Amendment ought to apply only to women.

reply

Lol women wouldn't start wars?

reply

A lot less. If the female leaders were funded and chosen by the male oligarch to be their puppets, the probably would, but even then probably less.

reply

You don't appear to know much about women sadly 😥

reply

Historically countries have been more likely to start wars when ruled by a queen than a king.

And even in modern times women politicians aren't that much peaceful. I mean Golda Meir, Hillary Clinton and Margaret Thatcher? Women with power aren't that much different from the men.

reply

Throughout history, queens were more likely to wage war than kings

reply

Queens are a very small subset of women mostly from the distant past.
Also, we most likely do not hear about women rulers who did not wage war.
American Presidents all seem to think that waging at least one war is part of the job.
And if they are not waging war they are supporting CIA operations that overthrow democracies and kill leaders who take their responsibility to their people seriously.
And if people cared about facts, one inconvenient fact is that China in its thousands of years of history has never waged a war of conquest, yet now China is suddenly the biggest danger to world peace.

reply

World peace? That's funny, are you being serious? There's no such thing as world peace, in fact, when it comes to humans (both men and women.... but mostly men) and their selfish, hateful and violent nature, there has never been a single day of world peace on this planet. This is a very violent world we live in.... it has always been this way.

reply

my guess is its a similar reason to female CEOs acting over aggressive. to be taken seriously and seem "manly". you could imagine the serfs (and nobility) joking or "talking politics" at the time how "her ladyship Mary would feint at the site of blood etc etc etc"

reply

Men in an abstract sense. But not realistically

Men are not an amorphous blob. Taliban-like interests would have to face off against all anti-Taliban interests.

Neocons, neolibs, communists, anarchists, and every other group that isn't looking to subjugate women. Which is almost all of them...

You are describing a stupid hypothetical as if it were a horror movie

It's really an opportunity for anyone of any age to learn.
