Do you feel that feminists want equality of opportunities and fair treatment but NOT equality of accountability?

yes

no

What feminists want is simply privilege.
The current status quo not only already provides women with equality of opportunity, it strongly favors them in many aspects of life.

Criminal Court studies show that women receive lenient treatment compared to men and often don't get cited by the police for things men would be cited for and get lower sentences and sometimes don't even get charged for things men would be charged for

Don't be daft. Feminism isn't about equality - never has been.

[Anonymous]

Equality has never been the goal of feminists. Trying to achieve equality means considering both sides of an equation, not just one side.

Feminism is all about advancing women's interests, period.

Nah if they wanted equality of opportunity they wouldn't be for "affirmative action" or "positive racism/sexism".

[OddBeMe]

No. They already have equality of accountability without opportunity.

So that means what? They’re paid the same? There’s the same number of CEO women?

[msc545]

Feminists not only want equality of opportunity, but they also want equality of outcomes.

[Smashingdoozy]

Accountability for what?

[Asker]

Accountability when they have committed wrongdoing. Criminal Court studies show that women receive lenient treatment compared to men and often don't get cited by the police for things men would be cited for and get lower sentences and sometimes don't even get charged for things men would be charged for

[Smashingdoozy]

So it's not about women taking accountability. It's about the Justice system being shit. Whether someone admits to doing something wrong or not won't change how biased the courts are.

[joeldalton]

They want equality of outcome, not opportunity.

[IMuser]

Can you explain?

[joeldalton]

@IMuser Sure. Take women's soccer. They want to be paid as much as their male counterparts, despite fewer people watching women's soccer and significantly less income brought in from fans at their matches. That's equality of outcome.

[IMuser]

I see... Thank you for the explanation
