Well the trash is pretty appalling. How hard is it to take a sign with you? Of course this is what it looks like after almost any sort of public event regardless of those in attendance, but I thought women were so much more conscientious etc. etc. And it is true that men make up the overwhelming majority of municipal waste management crews:

Better sign re: guns to be sure, but I'm not sure how the GOP funds guns.

No that's even more retarded, and yes I'm sure if you panned out you'd see entire teams of women cleaning up the trash, because we all know women dominate the refuse industries...

It's actually less retarded, less... but nice try.
The point isn't that the GOP funds guns, but that it allocates funds to regulate reproductive rights.

The whole gun v uterus thing is just totally embarrassing to me. I wouldn't even want to be near someone as stupid and cringeworthy as to make such a miserably ridiculous comparison.
Women have more rights than men, let alone a fucking gun. [sigh]

This is some pure, unadulterated bullshit.

I don't know about more "rights", but they do have the upper hand in divorce proceedings and DV cases. They certainly don't have "less" rights.

I will, at the very least, entertain that premise. I'm still not sure I buy it, but then for me the entire notion of rights, how you measure them, what they constitute (e.g. freedom to vs. freedom from), etc. conjures a mostly indiscernible, and sometimes purely rhetorical, quagmire.
To say that social justice favors feminism is far more agreeable, certainly; but that's not to say that feminism's values have yet circulated through our culture at large, which is why feminists are still fighting. It makes sense that the legal system is one of the first arenas in which we see changes taking place. Bear in mind that in divorce proceedings women used to have virtually no chances whatsoever.

That dumb pos needs to get off Twitter for a good detoxing period, because his brain is soup.
True. This is because the man was financially responsible for his family regardless of whether the family split up, and since children could earn money it made more sense that they be with their father so their earnings could be pooled with the father's for the benefit of the household. Then the Tender Years doctrine was introduced and essentially changed everything.
Safe spaces are filled with rubes that use gun/uterus slogans so I think it's safest if I just stay out of them.
Feel free to prove me wrong and I'll happily concede. Name some things men can do that women cannot.

To an extent I understand his train of thought; he was probably raised from birth being told he was a victim, raised on Hollywood movies which promote Nazis as the ultimate unparalleled evil that has ever existed in history, and then as an adult took college classes which teach that language is violence and some of it should be banned. On a primal, animalistic level it must feel amazing to him.

We need to just accept the existence of the full spectrum of political and philosophical thought and then move forwards. Deleting words and making people unpersons, having 3 minutes of hate etc, that reduces the cultural level of our societies and inevitably results in the governing political ideology becoming more and more retarded, because it has nothing to bounce ideas off.

That's not really hurting my point.
Be president.
Sorry, couldn't resist...But seriously, you specifically said that women have more rights than men:
Asking me to name some things men do that women cannot is not the same thing. Even if I failed to do so, it would only prove that women have as many rights as men do.
So, to counter, I should ask you to prove me wrong: name something that women can do that men can't.

Oh I know, I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with your point, I'm not someone that thinks the early women's movement was unwarranted. Just expanding on why it was so, as it happens to be something I am actually read up on.

Okay, very fair point.
The first one off the top of my head is circumcision.

Yeah, I caught that Tender Years reference.
Men can't be circumcised? I'm not sure I follow.

What I mean is, male babies are denied the right to an intact body, female babies don't have this issue in the west. I'd say that's a pretty big difference between the two.

Are you being purposely dense? Why is male circumcision not illegal but female circumcision is? That's the point. Laws are in place to guarantee women are born with their genitals in tact, no such law exists for men.
