here is my view of feminism:

Salaries: the wage gap is NOT because women get paid less than men, but it is because they choose to do jobs that just naturally get paid less (women tend to lean towards the liberal arts; and men lean more towards engineering/business). Women are never discriminated from becoming an engineer, and they have the opportunity of doing what they want to do, and thats true equality.

Physical Strength: It is a biological fact that men are generally physically stronger than women, its not something anyone can argue about. However, there can definitely be times where a woman is stronger than man


Birth control pills: no medicine is ever free? why would we make birth control free? Also what about overdosage (Im genuinely curious, can someone overdose on the pill because it doesn't cost $)?

The word feminism itself:
- feminism nowadays is just a euphimism for "man-hater", or "priviliges for female"
- feminism does not mean gender equality; gender equality means gender equality (both feminism and meninism are equally obnoxious)

Conclusion:
- don't need to complain about life being unfair because of gender. no one gender is better than the other! we each have our own pros and cons! Take advantage of the pros you have of being a woman (same to you, men), and use them wisely!
- if you think about of it, women actually have the advantage sometimes. Society has set such high standards for men (must be taller, be smarter, be stronger, and get higher paid salaries). If a woman is lucky enough to be athletic, she gets high praise, and if she was not athletic, that is expected of females, and. On the other hand, if a man was athletic then that is not surprising, and if men were not athletic, well, lets just say thats not an advantage.
- women are never dependent on man unless they choose to be, and men aren't dependent on women unless they choose to be
- be an equalist, not a feminist

This refers back to my other question about the possibility of there being a male contraceptive (which I will leave a link to in the updates). As you may know already, many men in relationships urge their partners to get on the pill for protection against unwanted pregnancies.

So, what if she popped the question before you guys had sex? Would you end up getting on birth control for her? Why or why not?

So, male birth control is a step closer to becoming a reality... until symptoms start to kick in.

An injection of progestin and a synthetic form of testosterone stopped pregnancy in 96% of female partners, the four-year worldwide study of 320 men in monogamous heterosexual relationships found.

Almost 75% of male participants reported being willing to use this method of contraception at the conclusion of the study.

But an independent committee stopped the trial for "safety reasons" after 20 participants dropped out of the study due to side effects. Six men left due to changes in mood; six for acne, pain, or "panic" at first injections, palpitations, hypertension, or erectile dysfunction; and eight for more than one symptom.

But the thing is, these are the same symptoms that women have experienced while on birth control too!

Would you be willing to tough out through these symptoms if it meant not having to worry about children for months on end? Why or why not?

Women, are you on birth control? What do you think about it being pulled for coming with the same symptoms of the female pill?
