Why I Consider Myself an Egalitarian

For those who don't know the most basic definition of an egalitarian, is someone who believes in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities, and I consider myself one for a multitude of Reasons, Mainly between the Genders.

I hope the believe in equality of opportunity, as I feel if a woman wants to be a car mechanic(A mostly male dominated field) She should be allowed to pursue that to the best of her abilities and not be kept from it just because of her gender, at the same time I also believe that there should be no shame in a man who wants to be a stay at home dad.

Lately however, my belief in true equality has been put in doubt as I've had many people constantly bombard me with the whole difference in biology aspect. Now I'm no fool, i know full well that at some point sooner or later differences in physical biology will play a factor in any confrontation between men and women. My issue comes from the idea that it is so insurmountable that there's no point in a woman to even try and that they should just stick to their destined roles. So I will concede that completely bridging that gap between men and women may very well be impossible, Having said that I do still believe it is well possible to narrow said gap to the point where women CAN be at least competitive.

A good example being training women in a way that takes advantage of their higher propensity towards acrobatics due to their lower center of gravity, greater flexibility, and arguably their vastly superior pain tolerance, thought whether this is true or not is up for debate as you can make arguments for either side.

Finally I believe in equality of Law, that regardless of gender you should be treated the same as anyone else that would have broken the law, What you win or lose should be purely on merit rather then what isn't between your legs, and this is the biggest reason why i consider myself an egalitarian and why I'm so against this idea of predetermined genetic roles.

So as i stated Earlier that the biggest argument against egalitarianism, is the biological differences between men and women, and the idea that they are just so incredibly vast that there's no point in even trying to bridge the gap and that men and women should just stick to their predetermined genetic roles. But you're probably thinking this, should be beneficial for men why would i have an issue with it, and it really just comes down to this. It's effectively a double edged sword.

We have people constantly insisting that women are so much more physically incapable compared to men meaning that many people unconsciously will not expect much out of women, this in turn causes people to have much more sympathy towards women in 99% of situations, this also in turn pushes lawmakers to promote laws, exemptions and regulations that generally favor women which causes them to lack any sort of independent thought or capabilities.

Combine that with a culture of Victimhood, Easily offended Snowflakes, along with women with less then noble intentions, and you got an environment where any woman that wanted to could get away with so much and this in turn perpetuates the idea of the "Expendable Male" That men are just less valuable then women and thus more disposable during times of hardship. In fact i think char said the very infamous quote "Men are a luxury, not a necessity"

A Man leaves a woman to die, he is forever shamed as a coward. A woman leaves a man to die, and people will comfort her telling her it was his duty.

A Man says he doesn't want to fight in a war, he will be shamed and pressured into fighting to protect his country. But if said country were to make it so women were required to sign for the draft, legions of women would be adamantly against it.

In a Relationship if something goes wrong it's always the mans fault and whatever abuse he's getting he deserves it.

And of course the recent explosion of women accusing men and lots of people just assuming he's guilty, or that the woman can't possibly be lying even though just recently a story came out where 5 girls flat out admitted they lied about a boy raping them because and i quote "We just didn't like him" And as of now they have yet to be punished.

I could go on and on but i think i made my point clear.

I will admit that part of my reason for being an egalitarian is rather selfish, but i genuinely do women women to strive for true equality and accept all the good and bad that comes with it. I get so sick of these women chanting for equality when in reality all they want are the benefits without any of the consequences, while at the same time expecting men to be the men they want them to be despite the fact that there is nothing in it for them. This is why things like MRA exist, this is why we got so many men claiming to be MGTOW, this is why so many people ended up voting for trump. Not because of men who want to be in control, but rather in response to a society they feel has abandoned them.

I want women to be strong, genuinely strong to be able to do anything they put their minds to Whether it's raising a family, pursuing a career, or even fighting a man in single combat. We need to stop shoving down peoples throats how much physically inferior women are as it perpetuates this cycle of weakness and Victim-hood, but that will not happen until more women start believing that they themselves can do what so many nay-stayers say they cannot.

If we can get to the point where women can be truly independent and not game the system for selfish ends, then maybe men can finally feel like they are actually worth something as individuals rather then just cannon-fodder to protect the so-called "Weaker Gender".
