[quote=Magic Magnum] If by heck of a lot to do you mean in less well off 3rd world countries then yes you're right.In 1st world though, not so much.[/quote] If we are talking certain things, not so much might be correct. However, there are still things there. For example, when it comes to the discussion of maternity leave, the stats are pretty skewed. Very few men leave their jobs for this, while a much higher percentage of women do. Something worth looking into. And as I've said before, a big thing feminism today is fighting for is not for female domination, but for equality on a social level. [quote=Magic Magnum]Gender inequality is not a fixed issue, but rather an issue that now plagues men and women equally.So having our counter to it being something that simply focuses on one gender is not appropriate to the problem we face today.It may of worked in the past, when women are clearly the lesser gender in terms of rights.[/quote] Women are still the lesser gender in terms of rights globally. But, we are primarily focusing on 1st world countries. I definitely don't believe it as an issue that plagues men and women equally. Socially, women face more systemic oppression than men. I do agree that men face prejudices, but it's not quite the scale that women face. Especially if we talk about sexual intercourse and the stigmas a very sexually active woman faces from men AND women alike. Or that a lot of insults that we use in the english language are associated with… women. Gender inequality, women have the short end of the stick. Don't misunderstand me. Gender roles harms both men and women, however the roles of men are favorable in comparison. Fighting against the gender roles of women would successfully free men from their roles as well, no? [quote=Magic Magnum]But as problems and issues change so must the way we approach and solve them.Sure, doing feminism might help women representations in media and gaming, acceptance in geek culture, more control of their bodies etc.[/quote] This would be a good thing. Representation of women in the media is awful because it also hurts men. [quote=Magic Magnum]But what about the men and being able to report being raped or assaulted without being laughed at? To be able to have a decent shot at gaining child custody rather than starting off the court case with a huge disadvantage simply for being male?To be able to cry and talk about how they feel without being laughed at?To not always be the one expected to provide for the family, pay for everything their girlfriend/wife wants, do all the leg work/first moves simply cause he's male?To not always be pressured by the media to be ripped, tall etc?There's a lot of discrimination against men that people just ignore or cast aside just cause it's seen as culturally normal we were raised to treat this stuff like 'common fact' that men must be tough and the take charge people always. [/quote] And feminism, I mean actual feminism, agrees that these things should be fought against. A man is laughed at for reporting rape… Why do you think that is? It is most likely because of gender expectations that women are "weaker" and could not possibly rape a man. You won't get an argument with me on these things. I am feminist, egalitarian, etc. Many things. And it's not necessarily men always providing for the family. Women as a breadwinner or sole breadwinner are on the rise. So the expectation of men to provide for the family has gone down. And still, many of these problems stem from the gender expectations of women, which damage men in these ways, no?
